SID: Hello! Sid Roth here. I have to tell you I am so excited about our new format Something More! Why? If you liked It’s Supernatural! television you’ll love Something More! And two of my favorite teachers, Lisa and John Bevere, I have on the telephone right now and I have heard Lisa’s testimony. In one day went from a heathen to saved, spirit-filled and healed of an amazing healing. And John, that was your first date! Where do you go from there? (LAUGHING)
JOHN: You get married, Sid!
LISA: That’s a first date with John Bevere! That’s right. (LAUGHING)
SID: Real, real quick, John. Tell me what happened to Lisa.
JOHN: Well Lisa when I laid eyes on her I had not gone out with a girl for a year and a half. And I told God, cause I had gotten saved in college, and I said I’m not going out with another girl However when I laid eyes on Lisa I said within myself that is the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on in my entire life. And I prayed. I said God, please let my wife look like that. So I started pursuing and when I started pursuing I realized she was an alcoholic. She was crazy wild. One guy said she was the wildest girl on campus so I kind of immediately lost interest. But then she came up to me and said I think my mom’s in a cult which her mom wasn’t. And I brought her to a Bible Study and she ended up getting saved that night, filled with the Holy Spirit and healed of that disease. And I was so in love with her. And the good news is she actually loved me and I am one happy man being married to Lisa Bevere!
SID: And according to my notes you’ve been married for 30 years. You have four sons and three grandchildren. Congratulations! But you know everyone knows about John and Lisa Bevere. You’re both best-selling authors. I mean just I don’t even know the number of books. I think I, maybe you’ve lost number that are in print from both of you. And when I heard how rough you two had it in your marriage in the early years I have to tell you I believe that this is going to give so much hope to people that are like Hollywood types. They go to church. They act like they’re happily married but their life is coming apart at the seams. And but tell me really in your heart of hearts, Lisa, why did you two publically expose the history of all the problems you two had?
LISA: Well I found that so many people, Sid, they feel isolated. They feel accused. They think nobody else is wrestling with anything. They think we are the only two people that have ever talked bad, wrestled with I mean seriously we like looked like WWF wrestling the first 4 years of our marriage before we had children.
SID: [LAUGHS]
LISA: And realized we needed to stop it. It was ridiculous. And but we just found out that if people actually find out when you’re honest that there’s hope. And so we’ve been married 33 years. First four years were ridiculously strifeful, wrestling, arguing, locking people out of the house, throwing plates. I mean that kind of stuff. And then year 4 through 8 we had to kind of live in the aftermath of that. And then in year 8 on we started to rise and build. And we really do not think that people should have to learn the hard way what we already learned the hard way. And most of the marriage stuff that we read they were pretty amazing, healthy, normal people and John is that but I was not that so we were dysfunctional before it was popular.
