This is good Truth Network pursue this where you hear from ordinary people instilled with an extraordinary fashion. Together, we explore the stories of men and women who take what they love and let God turn their passion into the kingdom versus now live from your host Robbie Gilmore further kingdom.

Again my name and all you know probably have another show called Christian car guy and I'm part of the Christian card I theater. I do tactic that bench is not a figure that does not have so much fun being part of the Christian card I team Robbie. I started to cut I theater in 2015, looked at the two of us and now we have the most wonderful group of actors will all donate their time and we just finished our break up out of the dugout buys the day is small, beginning that wouldn't talk about that a lot absurd today and you get a lot of my guess, but I wanted to say a few things I'm feeling led to day to encourage you out there, the Lord leads that step-by-step Bethany, including this morning due to some complications not Have to visit the complications I was not able to drive to the Truth Network studio in North Carolina to do that that of you. So I'm actually interviewing.

My guess today is my home in North Carolina to her home in California and as I said to him, I guess Pat Boone last week.

Blessed are the flexible, they shall be stretched and boy, isn't that the truth and let me just share these thoughts of you as a basis for interview because before I did. My guess you would in a letter, and all that she has a share which will inspire you in your kingdom, but I felt the share that God does take us to also the variances all phases of our lives. The leader teaches. I have to remind myself a lot to embrace the process and not get ahead of the Lord. A friend of mine said you gotta find out what a before you find out what is the gotta go through through it to get to it but we have to find out what were and what doesn't work and I live and that the process and it takes time to understand what God is showing that what was supposed to hold onto and what we let go of it. You know it's like there's a reason for each season of our lives. It's a learning process and it does not happen overnight anybody notice that the Lord tells us that when we go to the right or left is that this is the way what the trial and error. I love the Kierkegaard quote life can only be understood backwards.

Unfortunately, it has to be that forward but you know I think Hebrews 1211 the bride of Christ today is following. Hebrews 1211 says that the instruction it the instruction of the Lord. For the present isn't joyful, powerful black afterwards when you go through all that learning yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who are what exercise thereby thought his instruction. There is a tough time to go through this. Not joyful, but sorrowful.

But afterwards, if you've the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who exercise, thereby I think God is exercising flabby but I personally feel like I've been in boot camp but edit the first warrior. By the past two years but it's all good thought for good God doesn't waste thing. I always say if you're confused.

Think how the enemy feels and were going to talk about her journey with our most special guest day. I know she is going to encourage you in the hollow and dreams of your lives as she shares about her journey with the Lord as he led her one step at a time into the most amazing career as a model, actress, writer and speaker. She's the producer and director filmmaker, not to mention she is the wife of a wonderful man, a pastor named Larry Myers. I'm just leave you a thumbnail sketch of your life and then will go into the details and adventures of it all with her, but early in her career, Nancy Stafford name was a journalism graduate from the University of Florida and a former Miss Florida in the Miss America pageant and then she was a Ford model in New York City, but Nancy Stafford is still known to billions of Andy Griffith Lockhart 19 is not like I love that show. But in addition to five years. The Matlock she was a series regular on NBC Emmy award-winning St. elsewhere and other well-known shows, and she hosted several other deviations but her upcoming film include the romantic comedy, which I cannot wait first lady and she plays the first lady and is up for awards but that film she so many other marvelous film, especially specially wonderful Hallmark movies like Christmas with a C with love and many others. That is heritage fall heritage fall and heaven bound and the list goes on.

In addition to all that an additional that is a participant screenwriter she coproduced in Cove Road costarred in the TV pilot generation 4.0 and is in development with other TV project. The feature film directing debut is the feature film called damaged good and she's the author to wonderful books which will be of the Siena website Emmy literally I could take all day about the fact that she's the popular competence and a consummate motivator and encourage her to others in their lives in treatment just all that she's just been the night people to lose this to the Lord now in order to actually hear her voice. I am hoping anyway got no sign where you hear from ordinary people instilled with an extraordinary passion for the stories of men and women love fashion kingdom versus now, your host Robbie Gilmore live summit. We had Kernersville, North Carolina. So if you're anywhere near it was time to come join us. There's can be a lunch served.

12. A figure goes on till 3 o'clock.

We are at your want to put it in your GPS 1130 N. Main St. and chromosome North Carolina ZIP Code is 27284 and we heard from several speakers on the Christian cargo show, but I want to remind you all is coming if you bet show Mickey to call off Benji Kelly to morally Dave Weaver and pastor Michael Thomas with love and faith.

And speaking of pastor Michael Thomas with love and faith, we have Jerome here, who is a drunkard was with him in ministry. There love and faith and so you had a chance to do this a few years and tell us about your ministry will bid how God put that on your heart. You said you been doing it for 20 some odd years will know I'm really looking for a member for 2424 years been old amusements of the last three years. So God is little personal my heart to start cultivating meals into me is something that was missing in the body of Christ. So this word leave me to work with me and then the young man and we want to give it a chance to win today on kingdom pursuit so speaking of men. Speaking of myth.

Most men in restrooms are stand up guys I most really thought about ritual, but they really are better like steel because they tend to get weaker when they lose their temper so your thought about that or too much light and you have to call in the drapery men and raw well… At least one Groner and Michael work usually what music but it's okay when Jesus's men went fishing here comes the actual question is you can call in the day in and just this. When Jesus's men went fishing after the resurrection, and thought they saw Jesus on the beach. What was if you can answer your on him all very happy. I'm sure you know what a shame it ironic that I was talking about, you know.

Blessed are the flexible for they shall be stretched that right away.

I am so sorry and I'm sorry because I was so looking forward to interview Nancy and I been able to do this before and not quite sure you know why we couldn't do this now, but you know there is a reason for you to think she's cheaper to marvelous person I can at least say that and tell you that to get her PowerBook.

You know her book just like marvelous, marvelous book and be looking to see the title right. But what the best-selling book for the wonder of love heart about and Beth Moore that this book was like a warm embrace of God itself. The book is beauty by the book… These you I go I know Nancy had many things I wish you could share. We might, maybe we should try going to be done in one segment and then try that. Maybe that my work be one segment and then the next segment. Nancy and just talking about the questions asked her was that you know tell about first lady sure to see that will not come about what that film and how has she handled the down shed. Putting things like this. She's done so much variety of things in writing book on like greatest. She's taken ironically her husband Larry Myers been married 30 years. He helped establish the original Vineyard Christian Fellowship in LA when I attending there and thinking 77. The boy tended Hollywood that and Lloyd Ogilvie that it was a couple years later that I got a Jewish mind visiting New York and preaching that day my friend gave his life you Sheila Jesus, I might get hurt his model of the human and everything. Nancy and Larry. Occasionally, if an event though she spent so much, so be sure to look at our blog or website. I'm not sure. I'm not sure you should be able to come back on the show and I deeply pointed that we can't do this, but that's life and that I was saying it. It's amazing how you know that when you if you just think of the enemy feel though, I'm just got even better website again and www.nancy.com for such a joy and you will get a lot of that from her website and for her book. Again, the wonder of his love a journey to the heart of God and beauty by the book got the first lady film coming out the shelf.

I got it done wonderful and romantic comedies done that. Nancy and I you know each other quite embedded in Hollywood and when I was had a career myself. Interesting. I felt led by God to come out here and I will talk about some of my my my book in my life. But I am out here in December 2010 God gave me so many confirmations about that and venture is all about.

I learned that here we are to do is apparently both of us cannot be on the air at the same time you know whatever, the bottom line is that you get off the airline and the questions that I love giving you. Hopefully you have heard all that offer an amazing exploit and all the things God is done to her life and that she was on Matlock back to the book and that she would get off and Nancy and I'm going to have you to tell us about working with Andy Griffith lady tell us about what you've been through with his recent thing with Larry and turned the building in an off bow and you just talk about what ever you want to do it to share with others. Your story and encourage them in their dream you love you you talk hi there. Well hello everyone this is Albert, and probably the most unusual talkshow interview you all and never heard so that's what I love and said earlier about the beauty of flexibility. That's just the way we roll and it's really true in all of our lives is she said I'm a little bit about myself but also kind of a little bit about my most recent struggle that I think this interview this morning is just sort of a slight example of a very minor kind of things that you and I go through everything okay. But thank goodness that we have awarded the anchor to our hope is I did after 450 years, 30 over 30 years. Regular on TV series starring role in recent years they'll probably the last 10 years or more, turning down a lot of work God called me to secular marketplace and I love it, but you know as many of you are slipping a channel because you just can't find something that doesn't start your sensibilities or only come again, scared Christian faith and your values. I was running the same, so I just kept turning down work until agent began to fire me, which technically doesn't happen work for the actor, not the other way around. You want to work and I think you have no idea how much I want to work. I just don't want that work so I got fired and I would go to the next agent will tell you explaining to them my boundaries and my parameters but little by little, as the unlawful culture grow darker. I just want to encourage you because I am doing a number of family films and you have seen many of them and thank you audience for supporting so many of those movies are not. That is really the ticket that is how you tell Hollywood what you want to state what you want more up by supporting wonderful Christian films and television that comes out here voting really with your thinking or with watching it on television. In recent years. I think my writing, which I written two books but now I'm writing screenplays and producing project moving something down the pipeline. Like you I think all of them are here for such a time as this, and we are called in whatever spear of influence. We have two to do good and to kind of put a stake in the ground and just say you will come to occupy. Currently, the Bible says that we are just occupy the land.

And that's work to do but when we do when we are spelling a lot of curveball what we come up against the really difficult challenges. Painful things that happen in life. I just want to encourage you not give up hope. I've had a lot of problems in my life.

A lot of challenges a lot of things that you know at the time we can all go what is going on but you promised this. I thought things were going to look this way and then we have to keep remembering God says my ways are not your way on the highway. I had a way leading to your purpose that I created for you that look always the way you think I will probably somehow as I respond during that time on recent as last nine months in my life with Larry, my dear cousin, precious husband, Larry 30 years we've been married. Please help me as a horse. Years and amazing man of God worship leader on influencer and mentor and surrogate dad Donald. Many people are in the matter of several hours, went from having worked at CrossFit on October doing great to went into septic shock and almost died really literally a matter of three hours.

He almost died.began a very long road nine month ago where he 12 days in ICU every Dr. specialist came to me, shaking his head and staying you know very thick which I realize later was code for. We don't believe you can make it by. I was able because as you do.

Hebrews writer of Hebrews tells us we have this hope anchor for this bowl firm and secure, and that we can be.

I shaken despite our circumstance and spell between me being able to assure them that yes I know he's back, but we have a great guy and we had a number of people and could pull in our little tribe of people who are holding vigil there after the hospital and praying faithfully and those all over the world. Some of you may have been praying for Larry Myers on our it really turned the tide and we were able to really God moving away that we had not experienced before, and I'm happy to say that liners later on he still caring for someone that went gangrenous and they wanted amputated.

Think by his doctor thankfully said no, wait, wait, I was just one last little toe that is yet to come, come back that was still nursing a little bit but what I want to remind you all about it. How you respond during Christ. How you respond during times when you feel like any beating down your door right at your seal and is just courting you at every moment. You all have circumstances that you know where our finances are dire our relationships in a great we have illness. He and his drastic delusion and bear.

We can be at your because we had the anchor for this bowl that the world doesn't have. During this time with Larry. One of the most profound experiences being shuttled in for emergency heart surgery because he had had a heart attack and it wasn't real heart attack, but it was the vascular pressures that had conscripted the blood flow to everything except for the brain and heart but it was causing distress after they were rushing him into our emergency heart surgery and dear friend of our worship leader, wonderful writer.

Also, Angel Kilpatrick and Jean Brown who is our adopted daughter and I were in the ICU room.

While there, scrambling everywhere for cooking and left a thing getting ready to move the bag getting prepped for surgery. To their credit they just let us stay there and lay hands on you and pray. It was the most common situation and here's one of profound things that was prayed you'll hand right above Larry heart file. Did he think thank God we weren't begging God, please David Joel began to praise the Lord to extol his merchant Jesus your magnificent Lord you are powerful your wonderful thank you again for your patience where doing this back and forth again were trying to get Aaron back in just a couple minutes but I just wanted to finish up what I was sharing with you because I know that there are a lot of you out there now that what ever hardship whatever circumstance, whatever difficulty you're going through right now you just need to be reminded that God sees you that God is with you that God is before you and that even if things been utterly impossible. We serve a God of possibilities that he said nothing is impossible with me and as I was finishing up the story about Larry and how the prayer for him going into that severe surgery was one of pray and expectancy, and our eyes and focus was upon God who he is because Larry had not made it. It would not happen. I love them to death, and it would have shattered me emotionally at the moment but we also know that that there is me. We have a kingdom perspective and eternal perspective and that even is not going to shake us on so much that we are under.com steady assurance of God. Dana and with every trial in impossible situation we face honey, I love Paul writes in Romans he says what apparatus from the love of Christ. Think about this, shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or stored no all the things you are more than conquerors through him and loved, for we are convinced that native data are like angels or demons to the present nor the future, any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything in all creation, can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

In the last couple minutes I had with you. I would just add asking what could you add to this list of Paul. What is there for our circumstance or disappointment or horrible thing in your life could ever drive a wedge between you and your Savior will heartache or depression. No loneliness, grief, law, death of a loved one. No terminal illness lied, buyers, natural disasters, here is the trustee now nothing. Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. So your hard circumstances right this minute.

I invite you and urge you just like Jehoshaphat did arm to send out the craziest first the praise goes first, and then I would think she wished that good King said to his nation of Israel, have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld. Thanks to the Lord for his love and you and my hope and prayer for you as I leave this morning is just that you would experience and no deep love of Christ and again I pray God works you to call during that you out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his beer in your inner being, and I pray for you that Christ may dwell in your hearts are not being rooted and established his love that you have the power to get a all the strength to grasp how long and why is the love of Christ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you give us. There may be filled to the measure of all the phone. I pray for you all. Thank you and for having me.

I'm sorry we couldn't talk together but thank you for getting by with your precious body and look forward to chatting about. Thank you Nancy, we are one in the spirit.

God bless you dear remember her website at www.nancyoid.com go on there though using the home is the anchor of soul will even think and you will always be with Wendy. I was walking along the breath of the craft couldn't get anymore and I suddenly told him come in my head and I started grade girl gone bad changes by compassion think they'll not know who will be and I went on and I really like Bill, I realize that you know the enemy and he will flee.

You know I Dumbo the walking five doing so well and so on. You and Derek times my life for you daily. I just can't take it anymore.

In my mind you
