Product placement

TBN+ app: Acts - it is a platform for watching sermons and other religious content. Removing it would change the destination of the CTA. Joyce Meyer: Appears - she is the speaker in the video. Removing her would change the content of the video, but not the product being promoted. TBN: Appears - it is the creator of the content and the owner of the TBN+ app. Removing it would not change the product being promoted.

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GO ANYWHERE WITH GOD, YOU BETTER GET OVER WHOEVER YOU'RE MAD AT. AND SOME OF YOU ARE DUG IN. YOU'RE LIKE, "I'M NOT FORGIVING THEM." WELL THEN YOU'LL JUST STAY WHERE YOU'RE AT. THE FIRST THING THAT ANYBODY HAS TO DO THAT'S BEEN HURT— IF THEY WANT TO BE HEALED—IS FORGIVE. "WELL, THAT'S JUST TOO HARD. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEEN DONE TO ME." YOU KNOW WHAT? GOD NEVER TELLS US TO DO SOMETHING WE CAN'T DO. AND HE TELLS US TO FORGIVE. AND IT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE BIBLE, BECAUSE YOUR PRAYERS CAN'T BE ANSWERED IF YOU'RE HOLDING UNFORGIVENESS IN YOUR HEART. AND YET WE JUSTIFY. WE JUSTIFY WHAT WE DO, AND WE AVOID TAKING RESPONSIBILITY BY BLAMING WHAT WE DO ON OTHER PEOPLE.
