All of us know that we're going to die someday, but how many of us are actually living today
while we have it?
Welcome to Skywatch TV, a special broadcast for Monday, April 24th, 2017.
I'm Derek Gilbert, joining me in studio today, the co-host of My Life and the co-host of
Sci-Fri on Skywatch TV, our science advisor and my best friend, my wife, Sharon Gilbert.
Hi, sweetie.
I'm the man behind the scenes here at Skywatch TV, Joe Artis Horne.
Hi, Derek.
And the author of a forthcoming book, it'll be out in early June.
And a woman we're happy to call now a new friend.
She is the executive producer of Freedom Today Television and the national director of regions
for Christian women and media.
The book, No Regrets, How Loving Deeply and Living Passionately Can Impact Your Legacy
Forever.
We welcome Robin Bertram, at Skywatch TV.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's nice to be here.
Thank you for having me.
We have discussions, and she will be a guest in a couple of upcoming episodes in Skywatch
TV, so watch our listings at the website for those, because you're going to want to see
those programs.
Our legacy, first of all, I guess just in a nutshell, how do we define our legacy?
Our legacy is what we choose to pass forward and leave in this earth, something that we
leave here.
People will know us by our legacy.
They're not going to know us by what we have or don't have.
They will know us by the life that we choose to live, and it's that life will speak volumes
to the next generation.
So it's more than just the collection of stuff, the size of the estate that we leave behind.
Yes, absolutely.
The legacy that you are leaving for your future generations, your children, grandchildren,
how was that impacted by a rather traumatic event that led to the book, No Regrets?
First of all, for viewers, what was the event, and how did that change your approach toward
that legacy?
I had a health crisis, and in that health crisis, I was given a diagnosis with the potential
of two years to live.
No treatment, no medication, no hope.
And during that year and a half, Derek, I really started to do some introspection, and
I started to look at, Lord, what am I going to leave for my children?
What am I going to leave behind if I'm not here?
And thoughts went through my head, what are my children going to do?
What's my best friend going to do?
You think of, who's going to put the Christmas tree up?
Who's going to fix Thanksgiving dentals?
All those things that you've done for year after year, and so I started to really think
about that, and it's a thought process that will really awaken your spirit to the importance
of legacy.
And so I started thinking about the work that I've done for the Lord, my Bible studies
that I've written over the years, I've spent 30 years studying the Bible.
I wanted to make sure that my children had that in their hand.
So I got that organized and put together, and I started thinking of family photos that
I wanted to display in a certain way and wanted to preserve and really looking at the important
homes in my life and how I could pass that on to my children and my grandchildren.
And then I thought one of the most important things is the way I've lived my life.
That's going to speak more powerfully than words will ever speak.
So my children, I want them to know me as the mother that loved the Lord.
I want them to know me as a prayerful person.
I want them to know me as a woman of faith.
And they certainly got to see that walk, that walk.
When I went through the trials and I didn't know whether I was going to make it or not,
my children saw me walk in faith believing that I was going to come out of this.
Now that's an odd thing to say when the doctors give you no hope at all.
It's an odd thing.
Because our faith is our miracles only as big as our faith.
What size miracle do you need today?
What size miracle?
And I started really thinking about that.
How big is my faith?
Is my faith big enough to face this mountain that stood in front of me?
Because Jesus said if you have the faith, the size of a mustard seed, you can move a
mountain, are those words or are those real life in our everyday existence?
And I'm telling you like never before, when you sit in that kind of darkness, when you
face death, when you look at the potential of not living and your faith is going to be
tested, Robin, do you believe what you've taught for 30 years?
Robin, do you believe what you've been saying?
Do you really believe it?
And you either believe it or you don't believe it.
When people tune in to your updates, they're usually looking for the commentary on the news.
There are so many dark things going on in the world today.
As a mom, as a sister, as a daughter, as an aunt, how do women and men, how do we help
to help to our kids and those around us to understand that they need not fear the headlines,
that there is so much beauty and so many miracles around us that God is in every moment and
He's got it.
Yes.
Sharon, I remember 9-11.
I don't know if you remember where you were when 9-11 occurred.
I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing.
I was having practice, I led worship for our church Sunday night worship and I was in
practice that morning.
It was in the summer.
The kids were out of school.
No, it was not, I'm so sorry.
They were in school.
They had just gone back.
They had just gone back, that's right.
And we were in practice in church.
We got the call to go to the school and get the children.
So I remember, Joe, walking in that school, my children were small and I saw fear on the
faces of all the women there that had come to pick up the children.
And my friend and I, who had just come from worship, walked in with such peace and comfort
on our hearts and part of that was knowing God is in control and we didn't feel fear.
The rest of the world, you could see fear on their faces.
And I thought to myself, this is speaking volumes to our children because we taught
them, even though this crisis is going on right now, God is still in control.
And when you know that in your spirit, you know things are going to work out one way
or the other for good because God says He works all things together for those who are
called according to His purposes.
So it doesn't matter what's going on in the world when we put our faith in God.
We can walk confidently knowing, not necessarily liking it, not necessarily comfortable, but
an assurance that things are going to work out.
We don't have time in this daily to totally unpack this like we will in a few weeks when
your broadcast programs play.
But after you got this diagnosis, basically, you were told by your doctor, go home and
wait.
There's nothing we can do.
There's no medication.
Basically, here's your death sentence.
That was when God started to show you a new level of faith, and He's completely healed
you?
Yes.
Yes.
It's a completely miraculous intervention.
Yes.
I mean, get that.
I mean, that's healed from an incurable disease for which there is no treatment.
Lou Gehrig disease, so-named because he was the first prominent figure in American history
and contracted it.
But it is fatal 100% of the time, usually.
What did your neurologist say after 18 months of checking every six months?
What did your neurologist respond?
My Mayo Clinic was astounded.
I mean, they were shocked and astounded.
My neurologist shook his head, and he said, just come back if you ever need us again.
I was like, I hope to never need you again.
And you told him that you believed it was your breast.
Yes.
And he agreed with you.
Yes.
But the prayer is really what I believe God miraculously healed me through faith in His
Word, quoting day after day.
And I did it every day.
I quoted healing scriptures.
I listed everyone I could find in scripture, and I would speak them out loud, and I would
speak them with confidence, and I would remind God, God, your covenant with me is real.
It's true, and it's solid foundation.
That's what I'm standing for.
I feel like that widow that went to the judge day after day after day.
And I did.
Yes, I did.
Your book, No Regrets, is the product of an experience that most of us have not had to
endure, and I pray that if God's got a message for me, He's not going to use that direct
and approach.
But there are folks out there who deal with chronic pain issues.
In fact, we work with a young man who deals with it with a spirit of joy that is, I don't
know that I would be able to bring that to what he is contended with for his young life.
How do we, who have not suddenly had our life sort of laser focused the way yours was, adopt
that approach toward each day to appreciating the little things that we take for granted?
You know, life is a struggle at times for all of us.
We all have different struggles.
It might not be a health struggle.
It might be a wayward child, or, you know, it might be a financial burden that is so
heavy you can't see your way out of it.
Whatever the struggle is, God doesn't change.
His word is true.
And what this book encourages the reader to do, start to search out in Scripture, start
to look at what God's promises are, what His, He has the answer for all of our problems,
whether it's financial or physical or spiritual, He has the answers written in His word.
And part of this book is about intentional living for Christ.
So what you have to do, you have to be intentional.
You can't wait for something just to happen to make it better.
You have to go to the Scriptures.
You have to search out what the word tells you to do.
You have to be prayerful and look for the answers through the power of the Holy Spirit
to lead and guide and direct you.
He will give you wisdom far beyond your own capability, far beyond your intellect that
will bring answers that will astound you.
I've watched Him over years of my life.
My son was sick as a small child and had hip issues where we were told he would be in
a wheelchair for the rest of his life at that time.
At that time, they thought he had the lung disease that children died at age eleven.
We had tremendous health issues with my son.
And at that time, it was a very similar scenario, I cried out to God, God, we need your help.
We need your help.
And when he went back at his sixth month, the doctor said, it's as though nothing had
ever happened.
And so I think why God has built faith for healing in me, he's given me a lot of practice
over the years.
But that comes, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
And you can't take that casually.
You have to be intentional.
You have to listen.
You have to study.
You have to read.
I think sometimes people think, if I show up at church on Sunday, I've done my duty
and I'm a good Christian.
Well, that's fine if you never have a life issue, if you never have a struggle, if you
never have a problem.
But when you have real problems, you have to search out your answers and be intentional.
It's called a Christian walk for a reason, not a Christian sleep, Christian napping.
Christian power chair.
I put in the book, Pillars of Abundant Living all through, scattered throughout the book,
and there are scriptures that I relied on, that I stood on in faith, knowing and believing
that God was going to move on my behalf.
And this is a book for men and women.
Don't think, because this is a female author, that, oh, well, I'll buy this for my sister
or mom.
Your dad, your brother, your husband, they need this book.
How to prioritize, how to cultivate an appreciation for the everyday blessings in life, how to
develop a faith walk and keys to actually and truly forgiving others, which we are called
to in scripture, forgive others that the Lord may forgive you.
What a concept.
Yeah, what a concept.
Easier said than done, especially in this internet age where lashing out at others is
so easy to do.
The book is No Regrets, How Loving Deeply and Living Passionately Can Impact Your Legacy
Forever.
It will be out in early June from Robin Bertram from the Carisba House Publishing.
