11:34 am
vent. last year we held revive us and 160,000 people attended right before the presidential election, and i like to call a family meeting when we're at a critical time in our nation's history, and it seems that now we're more divided than we've ever been. we're divided over everything. it seems race divides us. politics divides us, gender, money, so many things and we need unity and a path to get there desperately. so i'm calling an, vent that will be broadcast from the museum of the bible pulling together some of my most brilliant and faithful friends to talk about how we bring hope and healing to a divided nation. >> so tell us about those faithful friends that you've invited to speak and how do you find solutions to some of these problems that seem just so insur mountable. >> the friends that will be joining me is dr. ben carson. he came last year. also robby

11:36 am
common denominator, some common ground that we can build on, and often that turns into nothing more than a cat fight after a little while. people holding their ground. i think they need a highest common denominator between us and if we can find that, and i think that begins with faith in god, the god that made us and loves us. i think we can find a much more positive and productive path forward. >> so we grew up watching you on tv, of course. >> yeah. >> you've spent most of your adult life a lot of it dedicated talking about your faith. tell me about that decision and what made you pursue that path. >> you know, i remember as a young man about 18 years old my minister pastor had said to me, kirk, when people ask you how did you find god. i just want you to remember one thing, this was so smart. he said you didn't find god. he wasn't lost. you were and he found you, and that's so true
11:37 am
with the help of people who cared about me, and i think it sent me on a path that made me want to live my life with integrity and gratitude and wanting to serve other people and really live for an audience of one. it served me well, and i'm here talking with you about projects that i'm passionate about, and so i'm really grateful. >> con graj lagds on your success. before we go, tell us how to get more information about revive us and get tickets. >> revive us.com and type in your zip code. there's your theater right on the screen and get your tickets and join us tomorrow. >> kirk cameron, thanks so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> great to talk to you. >> and she thinks of him as mike seaver. >> i do! >> it was a foggy start to the day and storm team 4 is tracking rain, when it arrives and
