• 1:11
  FOR ALL OF THOSE THAT ARE WATCHING
• 1:12
  THAT HAVE NEVER HEARD YOUR STORY, TAKE US BACK
• 1:15
  TO THE BEGINNING.
• 1:16
  NICK: YEAH.
• 1:17
  WHEN I WAS BORN IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA,
• 1:19
  I WAS BORN WITHOUT LIMBS.
• 1:21
  AND MANY PEOPLE LOOKED AT ME AND WONDERED,
• 1:23
  WHAT KIND OF LIFE AM I GOING TO HAVE?
• 1:26
  IS HE GOING TO WALK?
• 1:27
  AND IT WAS DEVASTATING FOR MY PARENTS AT THAT TIME.
• 1:30
  MY PARENTS ACTUALLY PLANTED A CHURCH
• 1:33
  11 MONTHS BEFORE MY BIRTH,
• 1:35
  AND I WAS THEIR FIRSTBORN SON.
• 1:36
  RACHEL: MAN.
• 1:37
  NICK: THEY HAD A SON AND DAUGHTER AFTER ME.
• 1:39
  BUT THEY TOOK ME HOME,
• 1:40
  THEY LOVED ON ME, AND THEY JUST KNEW THAT, OKAY,
• 1:43
  WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PLAN IS, BUT GOD DOES HAVE A PLAN
• 1:46
  BECAUSE HE SAYS SO.
• 1:47
  RACHEL: WERE THEY EVER NERVOUS OR SCARED ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
• 1:51
  HOW TO CARE FOR A CHILD WITH DISABILITIES?
• 1:53
  DID THEY EVER GIVE YOU INSIGHT INTO THOSE FIRST --
• 1:55
  NICK: YEAH. LOOK, EVEN AS NOW
• 1:56
  RACHEL: FEW MOMENTS?
• 1:57
  NICK: YEAH.
• 1:58
  FOR ME NOW, EVEN AS A PARENT OF FOUR,
• 2:00
  RACHEL: YEAH.
• 2:01
  NICK: YOU JUST FEEL OVERWHELMED.
• 2:02
  RACHEL: IT'S A LOT. IT'S A LOT.
• 2:03
  NICK: UNQUALIFIED.
• 2:04
  LIKE, HOW DO YOU DO THIS PARENTING THING,
• 2:06
  LET ALONE HAVING A LIMBLESS CHILD?
• 2:09
  I THINK MY DAD TOOK A LEAD AT HOME,
• 2:12
  IN ACCEPTING THE CIRCUMSTANCES QUICKER THAN MY MOM.
• 2:16
  MY MOM TOOK ABOUT FOUR MONTHS TO GO THROUGH THE,
• 2:19
  THE INCREDIBLE, INTENSE EMOTIONS.
• 2:22
  APRIL: YEAH.
• 2:23
  NICK: AS A MOTHER GOING THROUGH THAT, AND AS BELIEVERS,
• 2:25
  IT KIND OF RATTLES YOUR FAITH.
• 2:27
  LIKE, WHERE WAS GOD?
• 2:28
  WHAT HAPPENED?
• 2:29
  WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?
• 2:30
  WHERE IS HE?
• 2:31
  AND SO IT WAS DEFINITELY DIFFICULT.
• 2:33
  BUT THEY ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY FIRST AND FOREMOST,
• 2:37
  THEY HAD FAITH IN GOD.
• 2:39
  BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU STILL DON'T GO THROUGH
• 2:41
  DEPRESSION OR QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS.
• 2:44
  AND THE COMMUNITY AT THE LOCAL CHURCH AS WELL,
• 2:46
  AND THEIR BIG SERBIAN FAMILY AS WELL,
• 2:49
  REALLY CAME ALONGSIDE OF THEM AND DID WHAT THEY COULD
• 2:52
  TO ENCOURAGE THEM ALONG AS WELL.
• 2:53
  RACHEL: DID YOU EVER HAVE THOSE QUESTIONS ON THIS,
• 2:56
  YOU KNOW, JOURNEY OF LIKE, LORD, WHY?
• 2:58
  NICK: OH, YEAH.
• 2:59
  OH, YEAH.
• 3:00
  I THINK I WAS AGE SIX WHERE IT WAS KIND OF LIKE
• 3:04
  THE FIRST MOMENTS WHERE I KNEW I HAD NO LIMBS,
• 3:07
  BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS SUCH A BIG DEAL
• 3:09
  UNTIL I WENT TO SCHOOL.
• 3:10
  AND SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL,
• 3:12
  A LOT OF KIDS COME UP TO ME AND SAY, WHAT HAPPENED?
• 3:14
  I TELL THEM CIGARETTES.
• 3:15
  [ LAUGHTER ]
• 3:17
  AND I'D COME HOME AND I'D BE LIKE, MOM AND DAD,
• 3:19
  LIKE, WHERE'S GOD?
• 3:20
  LIKE, WHY WAS I BORN THIS WAY?
• 3:21
  AND THEY'RE LIKE, WELL, WE DON'T KNOW THE PLANS
• 3:24
  THAT GOD HAS, BUT HE DOES HAVE A PLAN.
• 3:26
  AND WHY DON'T YOU ASK HIM?
• 3:28
  SO I PRAYED AND NOTHING, AND PRAYED FOR LIMBS
• 3:30
  AND NOTHING.
• 3:32
  AND THEN THE HAUNTING THOUGHTS OF THE FUTURE,
• 3:35
  AM I GOING TO BE ALONE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE?
• 3:37
  AM I EVER GOING TO GET MARRIED?
• 3:38
  AM I EVER GOING TO HAVE A JOB,
• 3:40
  OR AM I JUST GOING TO BE A BURDEN TO MY PARENTS
• 3:42
  AND BULLIED FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE?
• 3:44
  RACHEL: MAN, YOU WERE HAVING THOSE THOUGHTS ALREADY
• 3:45
  AT SIX YEARS OLD?
• 3:47
  NICK: YEAH, BETWEEN AGES SIX, SEVEN, AND EIGHT,
• 3:50
  I ALREADY PROJECTED, HAD TO PROJECT FORWARD
• 3:53
  BECAUSE IT WAS A, IT WAS A FAST TRACK
• 3:55
  OF MATURITY BECAUSE I COULDN'T DO
• 3:56
  WHAT EVERYONE ELSE COULD DO.
• 3:58
  SO I'D BE CONTEMPLATING DEEPER ABOUT
• 4:00
  THE BIGGER QUESTIONS QUICKER IN, IN MY LIFE.
• 4:04
  AND ACTUALLY, IT CAME TO A BEGINNING OF A DEPRESSION
• 4:06
  AT AGE EIGHT.
• 4:08
  APRIL: WOW.
• 4:09
  NICK: WHERE I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW WHAT?
• 4:10
  IF THERE IS NO PURPOSE AND GOD'S NOT TALKING TO ME,
• 4:14
  AND NO ONE UNDERSTANDS, AND THIS IS JUST PAINFUL,
• 4:17
  I MIGHT AS WELL JUST CHECK OUT OF LIFE.
• 4:20
  AND SO AT AGE EIGHT, I STARTED THINKING
• 4:22
  AND CONTEMPLATING ABOUT SUICIDE.
• 4:24
  AND I DIDN'T ATTEMPT IT UNTIL AGE TEN.
• 4:27
  APRIL: OH, THAT'S SO SAD.
• 4:28
  RACHEL: TELL US --
• 4:28
  APRIL: YOU ATTEMPTED IT AT AGE TEN?
• 4:29
  NICK: I DID, YEAH.
• 4:30
  RACHEL: TAKE US BACK TO THAT MOMENT.
• 4:32
  NICK: YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER BEING TRIGGERED QUITE A LOT.
• 4:35
  WE WERE MOVING STATES AS WELL, WITHIN AUSTRALIA.
• 4:38
  AND SO THAT WAS KIND OF UNNERVING AWAY FROM
• 4:41
  OUR COMMUNITY, FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND CHURCH,
• 4:44
  BUT THEN HAVING TO GO TO A NEW SCHOOL
• 4:46
  AND ALL THAT KIND OF THING.
• 4:47
  IT WAS A LOT OF THAT, BUT JUST COMPOUNDED WITH
• 4:51
  THE LIES IN YOUR HEAD.
• 4:53
  RACHEL: YEAH.
• 4:54
  NICK: YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
• 4:55
  JUST GIVE UP.
• 4:56
  THE WORLD IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BULLY YOU
• 4:58
  UNTIL YOU'RE DONE.
• 5:00
  NO ONE'S GOING TO MARRY YOU.
• 5:02
  EVEN IF YOU GOT MARRIED, YOU CAN'T EVEN
• 5:03
  HOLD YOUR WIFE'S HAND.
• 5:05
  EVEN IF YOU HAD KIDS, YOU CAN'T EVEN HOLD YOUR KIDS
• 5:06
  WHEN THEY'RE CRYING.
• 5:07
  WHAT KIND OF A LIFE ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO HAVE?
• 5:10
  AND SO AT AGE TEN, I WAS TRYING TO
• 5:13
  DROWN MYSELF, CHOKING ON THE WATER IN MY BATHTUB,
• 5:16
  IN SIX INCHES OF WATER.
• 5:18
  AND AS I'M CHOKING AND TRYING TO SWALLOW WATER
• 5:21
  AND INHALE WATER AT THE SAME TIME,
• 5:24
  I WAS STOPPED BY ONE THOUGHT BY THE MERCY OF GOD,
• 5:27
  AND IT WAS A PICTURE OF MY MUM AND MY DAD
• 5:29
  CRYING AT MY GRAVE,
• 5:30
  WISHING THEY COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING MORE.
• 5:33
  AND AT THAT MOMENT I EALIZED THEY DON'T
• 5:35
  DESERVE THAT PAIN, AND I LOVE THEM MORE
• 5:38
  THAN I HATED MY PAIN.
• 5:40
  SO THAT WAS THE MOMENT WHERE I'M LIKE,
• 5:42
  YOU KNOW WHAT?
• 5:43
  ALL I CAN SEE AND FEEL ARE BROKEN PIECES,
• 5:46
  BUT I'M NOT GOING TO END IT.
• 5:48
  AND I REALLY HATED GOD.
• 5:51
  I ACTUALLY DIDN'T REALLY TALK TO HIM
• 5:53
  UNTIL AGE 13 OR 14.
• 5:55
  RACHEL: WELL, TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
• 5:56
  THAT TRANSFORMATION BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU WENT THROUGH,
• 5:59
  I MEAN, UNDERSTANDABLY SO, THIS DEEP DEPRESSION,
• 6:03
  THIS, YOU KNOW, ALMOST SUICIDE ATTEMPT.
• 6:06
  HOW DID YOU GET OVER THAT, YOU KNOW, BEING ANGRY AT GOD?
• 6:11
  NICK: YOU KNOW, IT WAS A JOURNEY WHERE HE HAD TO
• 6:14
  LET ME GO THROUGH THOSE DEEP, DARK VALLEYS ALONE
• 6:17
  AND SOMETIMES CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP.
• 6:22
  AND IN THAT WISHING AND HOPING AND JUST,
• 6:24
  GOD, WHERE ARE YOU? WHERE'S YOUR PLAN?
• 6:28
  I WANT TO KNOW YOUR PLAN.
• 6:29
  IF YOU TELL ME THE PLAN, THEN,
• 6:31
  THEN I'LL BELIEVE IN YOU.
• 6:32
  LIKE, I WANT TO BELIEVE IN YOU.
• 6:33
  I WANT TO BELIEVE IN HEAVEN.
• 6:34
  I WANT TO BELIEVE.
• 6:35
  BUT WHAT'S THE PLAN?
• 6:37
  AND I HAD NO FAITH.
• 6:40
  AND ANYWAY, I WAS PLAYING FOOTBALL, SOCCER,
• 6:44
  ONE DAY AND I HURT MY FOOT SO BAD
• 6:46
  I COULDN'T WALK FOR THREE WEEKS.
• 6:47
  AND I WAS IN BED LOOKING AT THE CEILING AND REALIZING
• 6:49
  I DO HAVE A CHOICE TO EITHER BE ANGRY
• 6:53
  FOR WHAT I DON'T HAVE, OR BE THANKFUL FOR
• 6:54
  WHAT I DO HAVE.
• 6:56
  APRIL: THAT'S GOOD.
• 6:56
  NICK: AND FOCUSING IN ON THAT.
• 6:59
  AND SO THAT WAS THE TURNING POINT
• 7:01
  OUT OF BITTERNESS AND HATRED, IF YOU WILL --
• 7:03
  RACHEL: A MINDSET SHIFT.
• 7:05
  NICK: YEAH.
• 7:06
  AND THEN AT AGE 15, I GAVE MY LIFE TO JESUS
• 7:08
  READING THE BIBLE.
• 7:10
  JOHN CHAPTER 9, A MAN WAS BORN BLIND.
• 7:13
  NO ONE KNEW WHY HE WAS BORN THAT WAY.
• 7:15
  AND THE BLIND MAN DIDN'T SAY, WHAT'S THE PLAN?
• 7:18
  AND JESUS DIDN'T SAY,
• 7:19
  THIS IS THE PLAN.
• 7:20
  APRIL: YEAH.
• 7:21
  NICK: HE JUST ALLOWED JESUS TO DO THE PLAN.
• 7:23
  APRIL: YEAH.
• 7:24
  NICK: AND THE WHOLE EPIPHANY AND REVELATION OF FAITH IS,
• 7:26
  DO YOU TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART
• 7:28
  AND LEAN NOT UPON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING,
• 7:30
  ACKNOWLEDGING HIM IN ALL YOUR WAYS AND LETTING HIM
• 7:33
  DIRECT YOUR PATHS?
• 7:35
  THAT'S MY BIGGEST DISABILITY.
• 7:37
  HELP MY UNBELIEF.
• 7:38
  APRIL: YEAH.
• 7:39
  NICK: SO IF HE ACTUALLY GIVES US A PLAN,
• 7:42
  THEN WE DON'T NEED FAITH.
• 7:43
  APRIL: YEAH.
• 7:44
  NICK: AND SO THE WHOLE REVELATION OF THAT IS LIKE,
• 7:47
  GOD, FORGIVE ME OF MY SINS.
• 7:50
  A BIGGER DISABILITY THAN THIS IS DEATH,
• 7:55
  AND SIN AND CONDEMNATION AND SHAME IN MY HEAD.
• 7:58
  I WANT LIFE, I WANT JOY.
• 8:01
  APRIL: YEAH.
• 8:02
  NICK: I WANT PEACE.
• 8:03
  I WANT PURPOSE MORE THAN ARMS AND LEGS.
• 8:06
  NOW, I HAVE A PAIR OF SHOES IN MY CLOSET
• 8:08
  JUST IN CASE GOD GIVES ME ARMS AND LEGS.
• 8:10
  RACHEL: AND NOW COWBOY BOOTS BECAUSE YOU'RE IN TEXAS.
• 8:12
  NICK: I DO.
• 8:13
  I HAVE COWBOY BOOTS AND DANCING SHOES,
• 8:14
  AND RUNNING SHOES.
• 8:15
  APRIL: YOU NEED A HAT, TOO, A COWBOY HAT.
• 8:16
  NICK: I DO HAVE A COUPLE HATS ALREADY,
• 8:17
  I ACTUALLY DO, YEAH.
• 8:18
  IT MAKES ME A LITTLE TALLER.
• 8:20
  BUT I WILL SAY THAT
• 8:23
  GOD IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL AND HE'S KIND.
• 8:26
  AND, YOU KNOW, ME AND MY WIFE, WE'VE BEEN MARRIED
• 8:29
  NEARLY FOR 15 YEARS.
• 8:30
  WE HAVE FOUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN.
• 8:32
  WE LIVE IN NORTH OF DALLAS AREA.
• 8:34
  AND NICK V MINISTRIES STARTED BECAUSE OF
• 8:37
  A JANITOR, REALLY, AT MY HIGH SCHOOL.
• 8:41
  THERE WERE PEOPLE ALONG THE WAY WHO ENCOURAGED ME
• 8:43
  AND SAID, YOU KNOW, ONE DAY YOU'RE GOING TO
• 8:44
  SHAKE HANDS WITH PRESIDENTS AND STUFF.
• 8:47
  AND I ENDED UP MEETING 37 PRESIDENTS AROUND THE WORLD,
• 8:49
  SPEAKING IN 89 COUNTRIES, IN FRONT OF 11 MILLION PEOPLE,
• 8:52
  SEEING 1.5 MILLION GIVE THEIR LIFE TO JESUS,
• 8:55
  AND 996 MILLION PEOPLE
• 8:57
  HEARING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IN 25 YEARS.
• 9:01
  APRIL: WOW.
• 9:02
  NICK: BUT THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT ALL OF THIS IS,
• 9:04
  ALL GLORY TO GOD, IS THE JANITOR,
• 9:08
  WHEN I WAS 17, I WAS A VICE PRESIDENT
• 9:11
  OF MY HIGH SCHOOL.
• 9:12
  I DID A SPEECH.
• 9:13
  MY PALMS WERE SWEATY, MY KNEES WERE SHAKING.
• 9:16
  AND THE JANITOR -- DID YOU GET THAT?
• 9:17
  APRIL: YEAH.
• 9:18
  NICK: THE JANITOR THEN SAID, HEY, I BELIEVE
• 9:20
  GOD'S GOING TO USE YOU
• 9:22
  AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE A SPEAKER AND YOU'RE
• 9:23
  GOING TO SHARE YOUR STORY.
• 9:24
  AND I SAID, I DON'T HAVE A STORY.
• 9:25
  HE SAYS, YES, YOU DO.
• 9:27
  AND THEN HE ACTUALLY ORGANIZED MY FIRST SPEECH,
• 9:30
  AND PEOPLE STARTED CRYING.
• 9:31
  AND THOSE COUPLE FIRST SPEECHES, I'LL NEVER FORGET,
• 9:35
  I WAS 19, AND A GIRL INTERRUPTED ONE
• 9:37
  OF THE SPEECHES BECAUSE SHE WAS CRYING THAT MUCH.
• 9:40
  AND SHE SAID, I'M SO SORRY.
• 9:41
  CAN I COME UP THERE AND GIVE YOU A HUG?
• 9:44
  AND IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, SHE HUGGED ME AND SHE SAID,
• 9:46
  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
• 9:48
  NO ONE'S EVER TOLD ME THAT THEY LOVE ME.
• 9:50
  NO ONE'S EVER TOLD ME THAT I'M BEAUTIFUL
• 9:52
  THE WAY THAT I AM.
• 9:53
  AND THAT'S WHY I'M LIKE, JESUS,
• 9:54
  IF I CAN JUST LET THE WORLD KNOW
• 9:58
  THAT YOU LOVE THEM, TOO, LET'S GO.
• 10:01
  RACHEL: YEAH.
• 10:02
  NICK: I'M ALL IN.
• 10:03
  RACHEL: I WAS TELLING HIM ON ANOTHER SHOW, APRIL,
• 10:04
  LIKE, HOW PROFOUND IT IS.
• 10:05
  LIKE, OFTENTIMES WE DON'T SEE THE GREATNESS INSIDE OF US
• 10:09
  BEFORE OTHER PEOPLE DO,
• 10:10
  AND HOW WONDERFUL IS IT THAT ON THE JOURNEY OF FAITH
• 10:14
  THAT PEOPLE CAN PULL THAT GREATNESS OUT OF US
• 10:17
  AND LIKE THE PERSON THAT YOU'D LEAST EXPECT
• 10:20
  LITERALLY HELPED PROPEL YOU INTO YOUR DESTINY.
• 10:23
  AND IT'S LIKE WILD TO THINK ABOUT, LIKE,
• 10:25
  WHAT HAPPENS IF HE DIDN'T SHARE THAT, LIKE, PROMPTING
• 10:28
  FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT, LIKE, HOW DIFFERENT YOUR LIFE
• 10:31
  COULD HAVE BEEN AND HOW MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES
• 10:33
  HAVE BEEN IMPACTED.
• 10:34
  NICK: PRAISE GOD.
• 10:35
  RACHEL: IT'S WILD TO THINK ABOUT.
• 10:36
  AND WE'RE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT YOUR NEW FILM
• 10:39
  THAT GIVES AN INSIDE LOOK, BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK
• 10:41
  INTO YOUR LIFE AND ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS
• 10:43
  THAT YOU'VE OVERCOME.
• 10:46
  WHAT WAS YOUR MAIN GOAL IN CREATING THIS FILM?
• 10:49
  NICK: YOU KNOW, I THINK THE WHOLE MESSAGE OF NOT
• 10:51
  JUST GOING THROUGH THINGS, BUT GROWING THROUGH THINGS,
• 10:54
  UNDERSTANDING THAT GOD WILL NOT WASTE YOUR PAIN
• 10:57
  AND EVEN CAUSE THE MOST DIFFICULT PARTS
• 11:01
  OF YOUR LIFE FOR GOOD.
• 11:03
  BUT IT'S UNDERSTANDING THE STORIES OF MY UNCLE,
• 11:06
  MY JANITOR, OUR FRIENDS, MY SIBLINGS, MY MUM.
• 11:12
  SHE WAS INTERVIEWED ON IT.
• 11:13
  MY DAD GRADUATED TO HEAVEN IN 2017,
• 11:16
  AND MY OTHER FATHER FIGURE, UNCLE BATA,
• 11:18
  ACTUALLY WAS INTERVIEWED ON THIS DOCUMENTARY.
• 11:25
  AND ABOUT 16 WEEKS LATER, HE ALSO WENT HOME.
• 11:29
  AND SO I LOST THREE FATHER FIGURES, INCLUDING MY DAD,
• 11:33
  IN A SPAN OF FIVE YEARS.
• 11:36
  AND IT'S JUST BEEN SURREAL, LIKE JUST TO SAY
• 11:39
  THANK YOU, GOD.
• 11:41
  THANK YOU FOR THE PEOPLE ALONG THE WAY
• 11:42
  THAT PLANTED THOSE SEEDS.
• 11:45
  AND THAT'S THE POWER OF THE FILM, WHERE EVERYONE
• 11:48
  CAN STAND UP FOR SOMEONE IN A SCHOOL AGAINST BULLYING.
• 11:51
  EVERYONE CAN BE A FRIEND TO SOMEONE ALONG THE WAY,
• 11:55
  AN ENCOURAGING PRAYER OR A LISTENING EAR.
• 11:59
  IT'S ALL MINISTRY.
• 12:01
  AND THE FACT IS THAT YOUR HISTORY IS HIS STORY.
• 12:05
  AND SO FOR AS LONG AS YOU'RE BREATHING,
• 12:07
  YOUR STORY AIN'T DONE YET.
• 12:09
  AND IF GOD CAN USE A MAN WITHOUT ARMS AND LEGS
• 12:12
  TO BE HIS HANDS AND FEET, TO STAND IN FRONT OF
• 12:15
  THE GATES OF HELL AND REDIRECT TRAFFIC,
• 12:17
  GOD CAN USE ANY WILLING HEART.
• 12:19
  AND WHEN YOU GO AND SIN NO MORE,
• 12:21
  AND YOU GO BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT,
• 12:22
  YOU PUT A G-O IN FRONT OF THE WORD DISABLED,
• 12:25
  IT SPELLS GOD IS ABLED.
• 12:27
  TO DO WHAT?
• 12:28
  EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER
• 12:30
  ASK, IMAGINE, OR ATTAIN.
• 12:32
  APRIL: I LOVE THAT.
• 12:33
  RACHEL: THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
• 12:34
  APRIL: YOU THINK LITTLE, EIGHT-YEAR-OLD NICK
• 12:36
  SAW YOU DOING THIS TODAY?
• 12:37
  [ LAUGHTER ]
• 12:38
  NICK: NO. I, I DIDN'T REALLY SEE A VISION
• 12:44
  THAT THE LORD HAD FOR ME AS A SPEAKER AROUND THE WORLD
• 12:47
  UNTIL AGE 19.
• 12:49
  APRIL: WOW.
• 12:50
  NICK: I MEAN, BACK THEN AS A TEENAGER,
• 12:52
  MY DAD PUSHED ME IN AND EXCELLED IN MATH AND CHESS.
• 12:58
  I WAS TRADING STOCK MARKET TRADES AT AGE 16,
• 13:01
  BOUGHT MY FIRST HOME AT AGE 19,
• 13:03
  AND I WENT TO COLLEGE TO ACTUALLY DO ACCOUNTING
• 13:06
  AND FINANCIAL PLANNING.
• 13:08
  SO THAT WAS THE RAIL, RIGHT?
• 13:09
  THAT WAS WHERE I WAS GOING.
• 13:11
  RACHEL: YEAH.
• 13:12
  NICK: LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT GOD WOULD SAY,
• 13:15
  YEAH, YOU'RE NOT. NAH, YOU'RE NOT.
• 13:17
  YOU'RE GOING TO GO AROUND THE WORLD.
• 13:18
  RACHEL: GOD HAD DIFFERENT PLANS.
• 13:20
  AND NICK'S STORY IS ONE OF INCREDIBLE RESILIENCE,
• 13:23
  AND A REFUSAL TO LET LIMITATIONS DEFINE HIM.
• 13:26
  LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE TRAILER

  BUT MAYBE SOMEONE THAT'S LOST HOPE THAT THEY CAN'T
• 21:22

• 21:30
  THAT GOD IS, IS WATCHING YOU.
• 21:32
  HE LOVES YOU.
• 21:33
  HE'S WITH YOU.
• 21:35
  I LOVE IN 2 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 12,
• 21:39
  WHERE APOSTLE PAUL ASKS GOD,
• 21:42
  GOD, TAKE THIS THORN FROM MY SIDE.
• 21:45
  AND GOD SAYS, NO.
• 21:46
  MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU.
• 21:49
  AND I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT GOD WILL CARRY YOU
• 21:52
  WHEN YOU CANNOT WALK.
• 21:55
  HE'LL USE EVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES
• 21:57
  YOU CANNOT IMAGINE, HOW HE COULD EVER BRING ANY GOOD.
• 22:02
  BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT JESUS IS WITH YOU.
• 22:06
  HE DIED FOR YOU.
• 22:07
  HE ROSE AGAIN.
• 22:09
  AND, YES, HEAVEN'S WAITING FOR US,
• 22:10
  BUT UNTIL THEN, GET TO KNOW HIM MORE.
• 22:13
  HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
• 22:14
  IT'S THREE THINGS.
• 22:15
  IT'S THE SAME THREE QUESTIONS I ASK MY WIFE
• 22:17
  AND MY KIDS, I ASK GOD.
• 22:20
  GOD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO STOP DOING?
• 22:22
  GOD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO START DOING?
• 22:25
  AND, GOD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO KEEP ON DOING?
• 22:27
  AND EVERY DAY I ASK HIM, HOW CAN I TAKE A STEP CLOSER
• 22:31
  TO GALVANIZE MY FAITH IN YOU?
• 22:33
  AND IN THAT RELATIONSHIP,
• 22:35
  HE HAS NEVER LET ME DOWN AND HE NEVER WILL.
• 22:39
  AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW HE LOVES YOU.
• 22:41
  RACHEL: THAT'S SO GOOD, SO PRECIOUS.
• 22:43
  NICK, I KNOW FOR YEARS YOU PRAYED FOR HEALING.
• 22:45
  NICK: YEAH.
• 22:46
  RACHEL: AND GOD DIDN'T GIVE YOU THE HEALING THAT
• 22:48
  YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU WANTED.
• 22:50
  HOW HAS YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF HEALING
• 22:52
  CHANGED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS?
• 22:53
  NICK: IT'S A BEAUTIFUL QUESTION.
• 22:55
  LOOK, I STILL PRAY FOR ARMS AND LEGS.
• 22:57
  I DO.
• 22:58
  LIKE, THE OLDER I GET, THE MORE I WANT IT.
• 23:00
  IT'S KIND OF WEIRD.
• 23:01
  LIKE I THOUGHT, I THOUGHT THAT, YOU KNOW,
• 23:03
  THE OLDER I GET, THE EASIER IT IS.
• 23:05
  IT ACTUALLY DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER.
• 23:07
  AND I LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, JONI ERICKSON TADA,
• 23:10
  AS ONE OF THE GREATEST HEROES OF THE FAITH
• 23:13
  WHEN IT COMES TO HEALING, WHERE, YOU KNOW,
• 23:15
  YOU WANT TO PRAY FOR ME, PRAY FOR ME.
• 23:17
  BUT, YOU KNOW, LIKE, I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S
• 23:19
  GOING TO DO IT, BUT GO FOR IT.
• 23:21
  BUT IN THAT, THE JOY OF KNOWING THAT HE CAN KEEP YOU
• 23:27
  IN PERFECT PEACE, IT GOES BEYOND THE CIRCUMSTANCE.
• 23:30
  IT'S A JOY AND STRENGTH THAT GOES BEYOND
• 23:32
  WAITING FOR GOD TO DO SOMETHING.
• 23:35
  AND IT CHALLENGES US EVEN TO A POINT TO SAY,
• 23:36
  OKAY, GOD, WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
• 23:39
  APRIL: YEAH.
• 23:40
  NICK: AND SO WHEN, WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT WHEN
• 23:44
  YOU DON'T GET A MIRACLE, YOU CAN BE ONE,
• 23:46
  I MEAN, I LOVE THAT SONG FOR KING AND COUNTRY,
• 23:49
  MIRACLE,AND WE'RE SO THANKFUL FOR KING AND COUNTRY

  THERE'S NOTHING GREATER THAN THE JOY OF THE LORD,
• 24:06
  AND THAT THEN BECOMING YOUR STRENGTH.
• 24:09
  APRIL: YOU KNOW, MY MOM HAD POLIO AND SHE HAD ONE LEG
• 24:12
  THAT WAS SMALLER THAN THE OTHER, AND SHE WORE
• 24:13
  TWO DIFFERENT SIZES OF SHOES.
• 24:14
  AND SHE BELIEVED HER WHOLE LIFE,
• 24:16
  91 AND A HALF YEARS, TO RECEIVE THAT MIRACLE
• 24:19
  OF A NORMAL LEG.
• 24:20
  AND SHE DIDN'T GET IT.
• 24:22
  AND I THINK ABOUT IN HEAVEN NOW,
• 24:23
  SHE'S GOT TWO PERFECT LEGS.
• 24:24
  BUT WHAT YOU JUST SAID, SHE DIDN'T STOP
• 24:26
  PRAYING FOR PEOPLE.
• 24:27
  JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR MIRACLE
• 24:29
  DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU CAN'T PRAY FOR OTHERS
• 24:30
  TO RECEIVE THEIRS.
• 24:31
  AND I LOVE THAT'S WHAT YOU DO, BECAUSE GOD
• 24:34
  IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS,
• 24:35
  AND WE CAN'T ALWAYS FIGURE IT OUT,
• 24:37
  BUT WE CAN'T DWELL ON THE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.
• 24:39
  WE JUST GOT TO SAY, GOD, I BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT,
• 24:42
  AND JUST KEEP BEING A MIRACLE, THE DELIVERER
• 24:45
  OF GOD'S HEALING POWER TO OTHERS, DON'T YOU THINK?
• 24:48
  WE DON'T JUST -- WE DON'T STOP PRAYING
• 24:49
  BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE OUR MIRACLE YET.
• 24:51
  NICK: AMEN.
• 24:52
  IF YOU'RE LACKING PURPOSE RIGHT NOW,
• 24:54
  LIKE, GO DOWN IN YOUR COMMUNITY
• 24:55

• 24:58
  VISIT A WIDOW, GO TO SOMEONE IN PRISON.
• 25:00
  LIKE, IF YOU'RE LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE, LIKE,

  WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT GOD WANTS ME TO DO.
• 25:04
  WELL, IT'S IN THE BIBLE.
• 25:05
  GO AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
• 25:07
  LISTEN, ON YOUR NEXT SUNDAY TO CHURCH,
• 25:09
  I KNOW THIS SOUNDS STRONG, BUT SERIOUSLY,
• 25:12
  WHEN YOU GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY,
• 25:14
  THOSE NEIGHBORS MAY NEVER COME TO CHURCH.
• 25:16
  APRIL: YEAH.
• 25:18
  NICK: BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T PREACH THE GOSPEL.
• 25:20
  APRIL: RIGHT.
• 25:21
  NICK: WE GET SO BUSY, B-U-S-Y, BEING UNDER SATAN'S YOKE.
• 25:24
  WE'RE SO DISTRACTED TO ACTUALLY REALIZE THAT
• 25:26
  WE'RE ALL PART OF THE GREAT COMMISSION,
• 25:28
  AND YOU'RE PART OF THE GREAT COMMISSION.
• 25:31
  AND IT TAKES TIME TO BREAK BREAD WITH SOMEONE
• 25:34
  AND SEE THEM EYE TO EYE AND OFFER A PRAYER,
• 25:37
  AND LISTEN TO THEIR STORY WITHOUT JUDGING THEM,
• 25:39
  WITHOUT INTERRUPTING.
• 25:41
  JUST BE QUIET.
• 25:42
  DON'T TRY TO EVEN RELATE TO THEM.
• 25:44
  AND THEN WHEN THEY'RE DONE, GUESS WHAT
• 25:45
  THEY'RE GONNA ASK YOU?
• 25:46
  WHAT'S YOUR STORY?
• 25:48
  AND YOU GET TO SHARE ABOUT YOUR STORY'S
• 25:50
  FAITH WALK WITH JESUS CHRIST.
• 25:52
  APRIL: YEAH, THAT'S SO GOOD.
• 25:53
  RACHEL: SO GOOD.
• 25:54
  YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO DO BETTER ABOUT REACHING OUT
• 25:57
  AND JUST SEEING PEOPLE WHERE THEY'RE AT.
• 25:59
  THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE EVERY DAY THAT WE HAVE THE
• 26:01
  OPPORTUNITY TO ENCOURAGE AND TO INSPIRE AND TO JUST
• 26:04
  EVEN IF IT'S A SMILE, YOU KNOW, IT COULD CHANGE
• 26:06
  SOMEONE'S ENTIRE DAY.
• 26:08
  AND I LOVE THAT YOU SAID THAT BECAUSE OFTENTIMES
• 26:10
  WE GO LOOKING TO HELP AND LIFT UP OTHER PEOPLE.
• 26:13
  AND IN THE PROCESS, THE LORD ACTUALLY HELPS
• 26:16
  AND UPLIFTS US.
• 26:18
  AND THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT,
• 26:20
  BECAUSE YOUR MINISTRY HAS ALWAYS POINTED PEOPLE
• 26:22
  TOWARDS JOY.
• 26:23
  HOW DO YOU FIND JOY IN THOSE DIFFICULT SEASONS?
• 26:26
  NICK: YOU KNOW, WE PERIODICALLY MAKE SURE
• 26:28
  THAT WE GO SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE
• 26:30
  A LOT LESS THAN US.
• 26:31
  AND I'VE IMMERSED OUR KIDS INTO THAT.
• 26:34
  FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT EVERY BLESSING YOU HAVE
• 26:36
  IS GIVEN BY HIS HAND.
• 26:38
  AND WE, OUR BREATH IN OUR LUNGS IS HIS MERCY AND GRACE.
• 26:44
  BUT TO, TO CALL PEOPLE AS WELL WHO, YOU KNOW, ARE
• 26:48
  GOING THROUGH SOMETHING AND JUST SIT WITH THEM,
• 26:51
  GO MOURN WITH THEM, GO BE WITH THEM.
• 26:54
  BE A FRIEND.
• 26:55
  WHERE YOU, YOU FOCUS OUTSIDE OF WHAT
• 26:57
  YOU'RE FEELING AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH
• 27:00
  AND JUST BEING THERE WITH SOMEONE.
• 27:03
  BUT YOU CAN'T DO IT IF YOU'RE EMPTY.
• 27:05
  YOU CAN'T GIVE OUT OF WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.
• 27:07
  AND SO THERE'S ALSO WISDOM AND ACCOUNTABILITY
• 27:11
  AROUND HOW HARD DO YOU GO WHEN YOU'RE RUNNING,
• 27:14
  WHEN YOU'RE GIVING AND FAMILY?
• 27:16
  RACHEL: IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'VE HAD TO EVALUATE
• 27:18
  BECAUSE YOU'RE, I MEAN, TRAVELING ALL THE TIME.
• 27:20
  NICK: YEAH.
• 27:21
  RACHEL: IT'S HARD.
• 27:22
  NICK: WE'VE HAD EBBS AND FLOWS AND PENDULUM SWINGS,
• 27:24
  BUT YOU KEEP ON FIGHTING FOR IT.
• 27:26
  YOU FIND THAT RIGHT BALANCE AND YOU KEEP ON
• 27:28
  GOING AND YOU ASK GOD FOR DOORS TO OPEN
• 27:30
  THAT MAKE SENSE WITHIN THAT.
• 27:32
  RACHEL: I'M SURE THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IMPACTED
• 27:35
  BY YOUR TALKS AND THE DIFFERENT CONFERENCES
• 27:38
  YOU'VE SPOKEN AT,
• 27:39
  BUT IS THERE ONE TESTIMONY
• 27:40
  THAT STANDS OUT TO YOU OF SOMEONE'S LIFE
• 27:43
  WHO WAS IMPACTED?
• 27:46
  NICK: THERE'S JUST SO MANY PEOPLE THAT STOP ME
• 27:48
  IN THE AIRPORT.
• 27:50
  I CAN'T EVEN THINK OF ONE, APART FROM THE LIMBLESS BOY
• 27:53
  THAT I ONCE MET,
• 27:55
  BUT WE'VE GONE THROUGH SO MANY COUNTRIES
• 27:57
  AND SO MANY STORIES AND SEEN SO MANY
• 27:59

  AND I'LL NEVER FORGET A GUY, JUST KNELT DOWN,
• 28:17
  JUST WEEPING, AND HE SAID, GOD USED YOUR STORY

  APRIL: WOW.

  NICK: WENT TO THE HOSPITAL.
