  Good morning, everyone. Today is a very special day at Half Faith Let It Begin. Why is it special?
• 0:06
  Because I'm here next to the miracle man.
• 0:11
  It's not just always about the person that receives the miracle.
• 0:15
  It's the miracle in question.
• 0:17
  We all know personal testimonies was created in the vision of Clinton Knapp,
• 0:25
  the gentleman that we have been praying for.
• 0:28
  And all of you out there know he had a second heart transplant.
• 0:32
  Well, ladies and gentlemen, today on Half Faith, Let It Begin, he's here.
• 0:37
  He's going to talk to us. And why? Because he's going to remind us that his
• 0:42
  story of chapter two needs to be told.
• 0:45
  Half Faith, Let It Begin starts right now.
• 0:49
  Half Faith, Let It Begin was something that I always wanted to do.
• 0:53
  On June 16th, 2018, a show designed for you, The Daily Commuter, went live.
• 0:58
  But what I didn't realize, that Half-Faith Let It Begin would become a family.
• 1:09
  After my daughter was born, I was so excited and saying to myself,
• 1:14
  I can't wait for her to say Half-Faith Let It Begin.
• 1:16
  Music.
• 1:17
  And she did. Half-Faith Let It Begin, when it starts right now.
• 1:23
  When my son was born, forget it, now I have two children. Noah! Hi, Noah! Noah! Noah!
• 1:31
  Happy birthday, Noah! And I was just as eager to have him say,
• 1:35
  have faith, let it begin.
• 1:37
  Can you say, have faith? Have faith. Let it begin. Let it begin. Yeah!
• 1:44
  A show with motivational topics, inspirational stories, and personal testimony
• 1:49
  set out to change the world.
• 1:52
  A weekly show all about faith. Welcome to Have Faith. Let it begin.
• 1:58
  Here's your host, Angel Santana. Three, two, one.
• 2:05
  Hello, everyone. And right next to me, the man of the hour. He's back.
• 2:11
  He's looking amazing. This will be a video format because I think all of you
• 2:15
  want to know what he looks like. The title of the pictures.
• 2:18
  Clinton, God bless you, my good friend. I am so happy to see that you're home.
• 2:23
  I don't want to get too detailed because we start telling the story.
• 2:26
  But how are you, my friend?
• 2:28
  I'm wonderful. I feel great. I mean, I feel younger. I feel renewed.
• 2:32
  I feel refreshed. I just feel amazing.
• 2:36
  And I know that you know that all of our listeners here have been praying for you.
• 2:41
  And I know that you wanted to say a couple of words about that.
• 2:43
  So I'll leave that for you to do that.
• 2:45
  But as far as I am concerned, as your friend,
• 2:49
  as somebody that, you know, has been there with your storytelling and has grown
• 2:54
  to have so much respect for you, there's no words to describe how honored I
• 2:58
  am that you allowed me to pray with you,
• 3:01
  after the surgery and that you sought me out on the way to the hospital.
• 3:06
  I haven't told you that at all in the recording because I wanted to tell you
• 3:10
  that in person about that on this show. I do believe in prayer.
• 3:15
  And as you know, a day without prayer is a day without power.
• 3:18
  So I'll let you say what you have to say to the Half-Faith Let It Begin family.
• 3:22
  But thank you for thinking about me and trusting in me to pray with you.
• 3:25
  No problem. First thing I want to say, good morning to
• 3:28
  everybody thank you i can't there's no
• 3:31
  there's not enough words in the in the english language to
• 3:34
  say how much i appreciate all the prayers and the love and the respect and everything
• 3:39
  like that as i said i'm doing great i get up every day i'm home as angel said
• 3:46
  yes and that's a great thing so i'm getting back to life i'm getting back to
• 3:50
  being the me i used to be actually the new me i mean.
• 3:55
  I don't know how to explain it, but I'm not. How could you be the same person
• 3:59
  you were before after receiving a heart? It's not.
• 4:03
  It's just something changes, and this time it's going to change for better.
• 4:07
  I mean, not that it was bad last time, but it's going to get even better.
• 4:10
  I've realized now that, as you all know, I had one transplant.
• 4:15
  Now I've had another. So to be given the gift to live life three times and still
• 4:23
  be here at 40, I'm going to be 41 next month, there's a reason.
• 4:27
  And I thought I knew what the reason was, and apparently I don't.
• 4:31
  But there's definitely a reason, and I'm going to figure it out,
• 4:34
  and I'm going to make it happen.
• 4:36
  First off, I think I'm here to inspire people. I'm here to tell my story so
• 4:41
  that people can get through what they're going through.
• 4:44
  Because, yes, every sickness and illness is different, but getting over it is not.
• 4:52
  Getting through it is not. You have to have strength. You have to have positivity.
• 4:57
  You have to have love. You have to have good faith.
• 5:01
  And speaking about faith, if you haven't heard the first set of my story,
• 5:06
  the first story, you definitely need to go listen to it.
• 5:10
  And then after that, start listening to the second part.
• 5:14
  This is different. We're here on Have Faith, and so we're going to talk about faith a little bit.
• 5:19
  My faith has been tested over the last 16 years. It was there.
• 5:24
  It wasn't there. It was there. It wasn't there. It was dark.
• 5:27
  It was gloomy, and then it got better.
• 5:31
  I have to say I need to thank Angel a lot because since meeting him,
• 5:35
  Angel has definitely shown me a different light,
• 5:39
  And he mentions a message that I sent him On my way to the hospital that night
• 5:44
  And since then I've decided that,
• 5:48
  For a little while now Not to get away, for a little while I've been struggling
• 5:52
  with where I wanted to leave my faith And in the end it's all in the same thing
• 5:57
  It's just different religions And I wasn't sure which way I wanted to go.
• 6:02
  But I do know that After my second transplant And after all that I've been through
• 6:08
  with Angel I definitely want God in my life because without him,
• 6:14
  I wouldn't be here today.
• 6:15
  Also, I can't forget this, but without my donor, I wouldn't be here today.
• 6:21
  And I wouldn't have a donor if it wasn't for God, obviously.
• 6:24
  I wouldn't be given a second chance at life, third chance at life,
• 6:28
  if it wasn't for God, obviously.
• 6:30
  So I'm going to, I plan to work with Angel and strengthen my faith even more
• 6:37
  than what it is, because he has definitely made it stronger than what it was.
• 6:41
  I appreciate that. No problem. Any other questions for you?
• 6:45
  No, I think that, you know, I wanted to bring you on for two reasons.
• 6:48
  Number one, because I know that our listeners needed to hear your voice.
• 6:53
  Sometimes you know I think that in life we talk about prayer we talk about prayer
• 6:57
  and very rarely we hear a fast outcome sometimes prayers can take longer sometimes
• 7:03
  prayers you know we think that they're not answered but in your situation it's amazing and to be.
• 7:12
  To be along with you for the ride, so to speak, has been such an eye-opener
• 7:16
  for me, especially since being in ministry school. So we're here to say the following.
• 7:21
  This is to announce to all of you that Personal Testimonies returns and it's back.
• 7:29
  We have personally pre-recorded chapter two, and we're going to be talking about
• 7:35
  where we left off from chapter one of the eight episodes, eight plus episodes.
• 7:39
  So I encourage all of you that if you haven't had a chance, you may want to
• 7:44
  go back because we're about to start chapter two, which basically explains the
• 7:50
  aftermath of chapter one of his first heart transplant,
• 7:53
  but how we segue back into this crazy,
• 7:57
  unbelievable story that you needed another heart transplant and then how fast it came around.
• 8:03
  And it all starts this week We're not going to waste time So you're hearing
• 8:10
  this because quite frankly We're going to air personal testimony.
• 8:16
  Wednesday, which is today So you're getting a double whammy Almost a triple
• 8:21
  whammy But we're airing it I say today, I should say really it's tomorrow Because
• 8:25
  we're airing this episode on Tuesday Which is really, you know,
• 8:29
  the real It's April 1st So, by the way, this is not an April Fool's joke by
• 8:34
  any means. Absolutely not. No.
• 8:35
  So, we're waving all that out of the way. Please, this is not.
• 8:39
  We're going to abolish April Fool's and say that today we're promising you that
• 8:44
  tomorrow he starts Chapter 2, Episode 1.
• 8:48
  And I can tell you now, as a teaser, it is called Chapter 2,
• 8:53
  very simple, with Clinton.
• 8:55
  And then we still have, coming up the following week, episodes that I can't
• 9:00
  tell you what the titles are.
• 9:01
  So clinton you get the last word and then we'll close out with a prayer and
• 9:05
  then Get them ready to go for tomorrow.
• 9:09
  Again, I just want to say thank you to everybody for your love and your prayers and your support.
• 9:13
  And then if I can say anything, the only thing I feel like I should say and
• 9:19
  can say right now is have faith and let it begin.
• 9:22
  Amen to that. Heavenly Father, we thank you for being here today with us.
• 9:26
  Thank you for continuing to be a shining light to Clinton. And Lord,
• 9:30
  if you put me in his path to be that shining light, then God knows that what
• 9:35
  I've always wanted to do on this show has really been a culmination because
• 9:40
  all I want to do is touch one life each day.
• 9:42
  And if I'm doing that right now through Clinton or others, it's all because of you, Lord.
• 9:48
  But more importantly, it's because you all believe in me and this show.
• 9:51
  So for that, I thank each and every one of you. And I close out with the following.
• 9:56
