<v Speaker 2>you with us today.

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Susan, thank you, I love being here with.

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, we have a great partnership. Yes, we do,

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 2>and we've been working together. But first I would like

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 2>for you to share with our audience a little bit

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 2>about how you became dean. I know you knew Pat

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 2>Robertson and you say there would tell that story before

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 2>we share and talk'd be happy to.

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Well. The background is that I was in the very

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:46.559
<v Speaker 1>first law school class at Regent University. This goes back

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>to nineteen seventy nine, the very first year they had

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the law school. So I was completely sold on the

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>university because they combined both high academics with high biblical

0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>worldview and that was exactly where I wanted to be

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 1>and it was probably the best legal education I could

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>even imagine. So I'm very proud of the school. And

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>then from there I went on. I practiced as a

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>lawyer and went into government and that kind of was

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the track that God put me on. And then later

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Pat Robertson called me and kind of closed the circle

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:19.799
<v Speaker 1>and he asked me if I would come and be

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.519
<v Speaker 1>dean at the University of the law school or i'm sorry,

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>of the government school. And I told him, you know,

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I highly recommend you don't hire me. I don't even

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>know what a dean does. I haven't spent ten seconds

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.080
<v Speaker 1>in higher ed since I graduated. And he said, no,

0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 1>you're the one. You're the one we want, and so

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I went by faith, and it's been just wonderful because

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>the university is so open to new ideas and so

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>open to the new relevant things that are happening. So

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>on my heart was to start a PhD program, and

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I had learned that about thirty thirty five years before

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>the university wanted to start one, and they hadn't, so

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 1>we launched one. You were one of the first people

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:05.519
<v Speaker 1>who came to my office, doctor Susan Michaels, and you

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>already had curriculum. You so encouraged my soul. My soul

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>just saying when you came in and sat on the

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>college in my office. So we began the PhD program,

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>and we've now welcomed four classes of PhD students, fifteen

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 1>students each year. We've already had our first pH PhD

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:31.119
<v Speaker 1>student graduated from the school. And now we also launched

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>the Israel Institute, so we have five master's degree programs

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>to teach about a biblical worldview perspective on government. We

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>have our PhD program on government. But now we've launched

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the Israel Institute because we've seen so many young people

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>don't have the basic understanding of Israel that maybe we

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>did when we were younger, and so now we're bringing

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>those students in. We want to get to everyone, and

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>not just people at region. We want to get the

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>knowledge of Israel every word, to other universities, to other students,

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to churches, to high school groups, college groups. So that's

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 1>our vision. It's a big vision. And I want to

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>thank you for your participation early on in the school.

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 2>It's so critical and so strategic. I just want to

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>share the story with the audience. You know, I absolutely

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 2>love Pat Robertson and what an honor for you to

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 2>have known hill.

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I have been a part of the.

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Initial class, but everything he started has been such a

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 2>strategic and very impactful work, from CBN to Operation Blessing

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 2>shar Regate University and so I went to Regent University.

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 2>This is two and a half years ago now, I think,

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.159
<v Speaker 2>and I said, you need to raise the Israel flag. Yes,

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 2>you need to have an Israel study program and take

0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 2>the leads because we're losing a lot of our Christian

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 2>college as we are, and their support of Israel and

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 2>their understanding of Israel. And you said, we want to,

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 2>we want to. We've been talking about it, and I said, well, here,

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 2>here's here's the first curriculum.

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.919
<v Speaker 1>An actually you helped with the first Seed money as well. Yes,

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>because you can't you can't fly a rocket ship without fuel,

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>and that's what you got put that and we're very great.

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 1>That was a good thing. But you know, it's interesting.

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.679
<v Speaker 1>Pat Robertson, he was a tremendous student of the Bible,

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and you can't read the Bible and not see that

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 1>Israel permeates Genesis to Revelation, and so he understood that

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>and he saw that. As a matter of fact, the

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>very first CBN broadcast, God put it in Pat Robertson's

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>mind to launch the first satellite into space to bring

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.479
<v Speaker 1>the Gospel around the world twenty four to seven, and

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 1>he launched that satellite from Jerusalem, Israel. The very first

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.920
<v Speaker 1>program was in nineteen seventy nine, and so Israel has

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>always been on his heart. And so really, when we

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>launch this PhD in the Israel Institute, this is just

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>the next step in the line of what Pat Robertson

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>in the ministry has done from the very beginning with

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>the seven one hundred Club and the Christian Broadcasting Network

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and now of course his son Gordon Robertson is continuing

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>that legacy. Everything is about Israel, and we now have

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 1>CB and Israel. So you'll love this, Susan. We're taking

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>our first trunch of students to Israel in about two

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.279
<v Speaker 1>weeks time. We're taking them over and we're taking them

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:36.839
<v Speaker 1>on the Ambassador of Israel's tour, Danny Dennan. We're taking

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.159
<v Speaker 1>them to Auschwitz first, the death Camp, and then we're

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 1>taking them to Israel. And for your audience who've been

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>to Israel, they know once you go to Israel you

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>are forever changed because there's two things happen. For one,

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.240
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you're home. If you're a believer, you

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 1>just feel like you're at home. And the second thing

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 1>is you know that the Bible is true. You knew

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the Bible was true before, but you really have it

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 1>in your heart the Bible is true, and you're never

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the same again. So if you haven't gone to Israel,

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 1>it's not too late go. This is the time to go.

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>And this is why I find it so exciting because

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I was one of those I was a nineteen year

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 2>old student when I got to go to Israel for

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.160
<v Speaker 2>a study program. It's exactly the lately to treat with

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>life and it affected the rest of my life. I'm

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 2>so glad I went when I was so young. Yes,

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 2>how my parents let me, I'm not sure because I

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.239
<v Speaker 2>kind of went alone and met up with a group

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 2>over there.

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>So what it was worth doing? And I did a

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>broadcast together. You and I did a podcast together, and

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 1>my story was like yours. I went at age eighteen

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>and lived and worked at Kiwitzpery and then was back

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen seventy four. I thank God for that baseline experience.

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>It turned and directed the course of my entire life,

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>just like your story. That's why it's so important to

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 1>get our young people. It changes their life for the better.

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and so you know, I just want to share

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:09.679
<v Speaker 2>that if anybody wants to seed money into the next

0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 2>generation of Christian leaders. Recent university, the Robertson School of Government,

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>they are preparing Christians getting a PhD in government with

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 2>an emphasis in Israel. We've set up a scholarship fund

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 2>there and if you're interested in seeding, please contact us.

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 2>We'll have links in the show notes for today.

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 1>We would love to do it because we have undergrad masters,

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>the PhD, the Israel Institute to reach everyone. And I

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 1>know Susan has been extremely generous to seed that money,

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 1>but we need more because I'll tell you one reason

0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 1>why students choose to go to another school is because

0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 1>they don't have scholarship money. And here's the big, little

0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 1>dirty secret. Katar is out there funding scholarships at universities

0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>all across America for students. We need scholarship money for

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 1>our students too, and when they come to our school,

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>you can be assured they will have a biblical background

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 1>that is pro Israel with high academics. That's what we

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>offer the students. And when they go to these other

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.959
<v Speaker 1>schools that are maybe funded by Qatar, they're getting a

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>pro Islamic view that is anti Biblical. And so there's

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.640
<v Speaker 1>a real divide here, and so thank you for bringing

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 1>that up. A lot of people don't realize that suits

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:32.720
<v Speaker 1>the universities. They are being funded by Islamic nations that

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.800
<v Speaker 1>don't have American interests at heart, much less Israel's. So

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.439
<v Speaker 1>that's why we're here Regent to advance the pro biblical

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.199
<v Speaker 1>view of Israel and Pat.

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.959
<v Speaker 2>Robertson would be so, he'd be thrill, he would be

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 2>through he said it. I'm so blessed I have been

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 2>a part of that story. Oh, and to be partnering

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:56.320
<v Speaker 2>with you. So let's talk a little bit about current events,

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 2>like in the young people regent, your students and all.

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Do you see a certain trend or a lack of

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 2>knowledge or do you see something that's influencing them that

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.600
<v Speaker 2>you could share with us for prayer and for greater

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>understanding of the next generation.

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'd be happy to. There is a real difference.

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>The students are still sweet, wonderful, you know, they profess

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:26.319
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Christ. But the difference is they lack discipleship. They

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 1>lack a basic knowledge of the Bible. And the more

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Bible knowledge you have, the more pro Israel you are.

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>And so if you don't have that background, basic discipleship,

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 1>you tend to not have Israel, that understanding of Israel. So,

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 1>for instance, when October seventh occurred, we just assumed all

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 1>the students would know what's going on, But they didn't

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>know what's going on. They didn't really understand. In fact,

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>their world is TikTok, and so on their phone. It's

0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:01.960
<v Speaker 1>seventeen anti Israel messages for every pro Israel message. So

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 1>we immediately started showing pro Israel movies. We do one

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 1>pro Israel event a week on average during the school year,

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>not just one event a year on average, almost every week.

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 1>So we movies, uh plays, books, speakers, authors, zoom, we

0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 1>zoom people and because we have we give us a

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>regular diet to our students of reality because they're hearing

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 1>lies on their social media. So that's the difference that

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>we see. We are very intentional now, and so we're

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 1>intentional not only with our region students. We have a

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:46.119
<v Speaker 1>wonderful cooperation with the local Jewish community, and Pat Robertson

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.240
<v Speaker 1>is the one who is wise enough to see that.

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>So we cooperate with them, and so we let them

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.920
<v Speaker 1>know we're here because we want to support you. So

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 1>we'll take students and we'll go to the local passover

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 1>or the local feast dinner, and we're trying to foster

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:06.560
<v Speaker 1>those relationships between Jews and Christians because we serve the

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.720
<v Speaker 1>God of the Bible, the God of Israel.

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 3>Let's take a break and hear a message from one

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 3>of our sponsors. Welcome back to the Out of Zion

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 3>podcast with Susan Michael.

0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's so interesting you're mentioning movies and plays and

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 2>this kind of thing, because one of the difficulties for

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 2>us reaching the young generation is that it's actually your professor,

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 2>doctor A. J. Neltik. Do I heard say this. He's

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 2>the director of the Israel Institute. He said that we

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.720
<v Speaker 2>are now in a post literate generation, not that they can't.

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Read, but that they don't read. They take in their information, images.

0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.680
<v Speaker 2>And videos and all on their phone. So that has

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 2>to be very challenging for you at the university.

0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, that is because there's an adaptation on teaching people,

0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and yet we have standards. We have very high standards,

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.439
<v Speaker 1>and so we have to push people toward reading, and

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:11.680
<v Speaker 1>we do. We do very effectively. Doctor aj Nolty, he's

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:15.319
<v Speaker 1>completely blind and he's the director of our Israel Institute.

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Just an absolutely fabulous person. We have an incredible faculty,

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 1>a faculty that understands Israel and gets Israel. I used

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 1>to be in Congress, and what I saw when I

0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.959
<v Speaker 1>was in Congress, Susan, is that a lot of the

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 1>top credential people didn't understand Israel. What they understood was

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 1>a very biased view they got during their PhD training.

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.040
<v Speaker 1>And if you're pro Isra, a lot of times you're

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 1>blacklisted from even getting in these programs. And so that's

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 1>why we need people to come in. We need to

0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 1>train them, we need to get them credential so that

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 1>they can get out and work in the intelligence community,

0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:54.439
<v Speaker 1>the Pentagon, the entire bureaucracy of the United States, because

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the reason why you have anti Israel policies in our

0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 1>government is because you have people who have been trained

0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.439
<v Speaker 1>to be anti Israel through their education and then they

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 1>go into government. So we're trying to be a part

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>of the solution, just like you are with your organization.

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>We're partnering together to be pro Israel. Pope to be

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.720
<v Speaker 1>pro Israel's to be pro Biblical. God is pro Israel.

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Jesus was pro Israel. So we're just trying to be

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>in alignment with the word of God.

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, a man, Well, it's got to be very fulfilling

0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 2>to it is that I wonder to know that you

0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 2>are mentoring the next generation.

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.120
<v Speaker 1>It is and we're taking our first tronch of students

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>now over to Israel, and I can't wait. I'm praying

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 1>already into that trip because I know, just like you

0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>when you were nineteen and me when I was eighteen,

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 1>our eyes were open and forever change. And I'm asking

0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:50.560
<v Speaker 1>God to be present and open their eyes of their

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 1>part so they will see what we saw. And he will.

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 1>He will to every generation. Yes, you know he will.

0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 2>So what is something else, like major misunderstanding that you

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 2>encounter a lot with the students that you're working with.

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think a major misunderstanding is they are very

0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 1>sympathetic to the terrorists who killed Jews. They're very sympathetic,

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and they see that the terrorists are victims. Now, this

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 1>is almost impossible to believe, but this shows how twisted

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>and how Satan has gotten into the messaging to show

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 1>that the people who seek actually the extermination of Jews,

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the death of Jews. We can't even believe that people

0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 1>would think that, but they've actually gotten Christians to be

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 1>sympathetic to the point of view of those who want

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.680
<v Speaker 1>to kill Christians. And so we have to go into

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:50.720
<v Speaker 1>that world and that understanding and explain that the true

0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 1>victims have been the Jews since twenty twenty three. Well,

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 1>does mean that.

0:15:56.240 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 2>They got that in high school? And in in the

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.280
<v Speaker 2>school before they actually end well.

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely. Oh and at the youngest ages now today, it's

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 1>since they got their phones. People got their phones in

0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.400
<v Speaker 1>about what two thousand and nine, So for students that

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.800
<v Speaker 1>are in college right now, that's only ten years ago.

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 1>So they've you know, they grew up on their phone.

0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 1>That's right. They've had phones, i'd say, in their possession

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.000
<v Speaker 1>for about ten years, that's what I mean to say,

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 1>usually their parents, but some parents give phones to their

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 1>children when they're five. I think it's a terrible mistake,

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.920
<v Speaker 1>but they their entire life. They don't know their life

0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 1>without phones, so they're getting lies. That's what we need

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:43.040
<v Speaker 1>to understand. But the good thing is truth prevails over lies.

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.560
<v Speaker 1>So it's nothing to be discouraged about or despair over.

0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 1>It's just a challenge. And so at the university level,

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Veritas Truth. That's what we teach, Regent, and so the

0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:58.720
<v Speaker 1>truth does overcome lies. And so but we have to

0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.720
<v Speaker 1>be intentional. We can't assume they're going to get it,

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.800
<v Speaker 1>or we can't assume that they come in knowing truth.

0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 1>And that's the partnership that we've had with you. Because

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.800
<v Speaker 1>your curriculum is excellent. It teaches truth.

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, I say always say Pat Robertson was

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 2>a man of destiny and what he built there at

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Regent University is just so.

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 1>It's it's incredible. You're over thirteen thousand students now in many, many,

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:29.679
<v Speaker 1>many degrees, and what people have accomplished, the alumni of

0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.560
<v Speaker 1>our school are phenomenal. With they've accompliled.

0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.640
<v Speaker 2>I want to say, you also are a woman of destiny,

0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:37.879
<v Speaker 2>and he knew it and that's why he chose you.

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:41.320
<v Speaker 2>And no one is more perfect than you with your

0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:46.119
<v Speaker 2>background in Israel from young age to your of course

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.080
<v Speaker 2>that you were of that first law class there at Regent,

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:53.119
<v Speaker 2>and your time in Congress, and now you're able to

0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:57.040
<v Speaker 2>bring all of that experience and knowledge and expertise to

0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:00.880
<v Speaker 2>these young people. And I just want to honor you

0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.760

<v Speaker 2>did about a year ago, where she tells more of

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.320
<v Speaker 2>her story at that eighteen years old when she went

0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:48.080
<v Speaker 2>to Israel, lived there in that Gaza border area in

0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Israeli kibbutz that became the center of the October seventh attack.

0:18:54.000 --> 0:18:57.120
