"Culture Wars and Lordship Challenge"
Join Jimmy and Annette as they engage culture from a biblical worldview and issue a challenge to a new level of making Jesus the Lord of you life and not the addendum or add-on. It's a fast and furious ride, so fasten your seatbelts!
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
and now we're going to play
2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Don't get down when you're seeing the worst
3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Because the last will be the first
4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
What a day I'm telling you
5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
All things will be new
6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Livin' up in a down world
7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Yeah, we're livin'
8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Yeah, we're livin'
9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Livin' up in a down world
10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
This is Jimmy Internet
11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Great news, somebody is back on the show with us today
12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
And it's not Brian Mandel
13
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
It's not Master Brian
14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,000
It's Chevy
15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Mr. Chevy is back
16
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
When you said that he poked his head out
17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
I know, he's like, get to be on
18
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
I know, so we're doing a, this is sort of a different approach
19
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Different tack, so to speak
20
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Because it's show number 63, want to welcome you to
21
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Livin' up in a down world
22
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
This is Jimmy and Annette Pruitt
23
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Pastor Jimmy and Day Manette as Adam so affectionately calls you
24
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
It's funny
25
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Adam Curry, our dear friend and executive producer
26
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
He will only let me call him that if the sound is good
27
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,000
So hopefully it's good
28
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,000
So we hope it's good
29
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Yeah, he'll let me know
30
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
So we, this is Monday which is our Sabbath day
31
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
But we've been traveling a lot
32
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
We didn't get to do the podcast last week
33
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Because we were literally gone early Monday morning
34
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Right
35
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Through Thursday
36
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
And it was a wall to wall week
37
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Is Mr. Chevy standing up in his chair?
38
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000
He's standing up
39
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
He is scratching my back
40
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Oh, there you go, I bet that feels good
41
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,000
He's good about that
42
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
We're excited to have Mr. Chevy
43
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
And the reason is it's Monday our Sabbath
44
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
And so we knew because we're traveling again tomorrow
45
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
We're heading to Gateway Church up in Southlake
46
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Dallas, Fort Worth area
47
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Got some training things that our production director
48
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
A.K.A. daughter Faith is going to be going through with him
49
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
We couldn't let her go by herself
50
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Because she can't rent a car without it being outrageous
51
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Because she's underage
52
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Exactly, so we're going to be
53
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
So darn we have to go
54
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
We're going to be mommy and daddy again this week
55
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
But this is funny
56
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
We're in our pajamas
57
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
I am
58
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,000
I'm not
59
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,000
I'm in my workout gear
60
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000
I am in my pajamas
61
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
We drove from our house
62
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
When Jimmy said we need to go do it now
63
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
I'm like I'm not changing
64
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,000
So I'm in my pajamas
65
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000
I'm in my office
66
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,000
You have a hoodie on
67
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000
We snuck in
68
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000
I have a hoodie on
69
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,000
We snuck in the church
70
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
And we brought Mr. Chevy
71
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000
And brought Mr. Chevy
72
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
And we saw one person and said we're not really here
73
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,000
You don't see us
74
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
We're just going straight to our office to do a podcast
75
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,000
It was hilarious
76
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Yeah, it is
77
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
We had some major, major rain today
78
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
And we came up on
79
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Okay, we were driving
80
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
We live what 16 miles out?
81
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Yes
82
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
We live 16 miles out
83
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
We're driving in
84
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
And we came up on a two-rex
85
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Yeah, one
86
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
One happened probably seconds before I drove up on it
87
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
And this guy in a Lexus SUV, a small one
88
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
He rolled it
89
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Fortunately, other people had already stopped
90
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000
And were helping rendering aid
91
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
So I didn't feel like I needed to stop
92
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
But no, cops can come because they're all
93
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
They're all
94
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
The other wrecks
95
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
So yeah, so a few miles down the road
96
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
We come up on another bad wreck
97
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,000
It was bad
98
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
The one, this guy was out of the car
99
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000
He seemed to be fine
100
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000
He was walking
101
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000
The one that was rolled
102
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Yeah, he was walking
103
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,000
But the other one, we don't know
104
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
We don't know
105
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
We heard it was a van
106
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
It was badly
107
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Demolished
108
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Badly demolished
109
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000
And in a truck
110
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Badly demolished
111
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Yeah, so anyway, just heart went out to that
112
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
But boy, that'll put you on edge
113
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,000
And it did put us on edge
114
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,000
But the thing is, is every time it rains
115
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
And you're traveling on the 87
116
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Which is the road that comes out of our neighborhood
117
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
To get to anywhere
118
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
You know, Fredericksburg, San Antonio, Burnie
119
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,000
There's always wrecks
120
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Always wrecks on that road
121
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Tina's like, I wish y'all didn't live out there anymore
122
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Please move
123
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
But you know, if we take the back roads
124
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Which we ended up turning around and taking a back road
125
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
I think we just should, when it rains
126
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Just automatically take the back road in
127
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000
It's just too dangerous
128
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
And it's no traffic and whatnot
129
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000
So anyway
130
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
So we got here a little unnerved
131
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Yeah, we were a little on edge
132
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
I mean, I almost said, let's just go back home
133
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,000
But you did
134
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
You stopped and I said, no, we're doing this
135
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,000
No, no, we're gonna do it
136
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
So we're glad to be with you
137
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
And sorry we missed last week
138
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
It's just, we're in the very busy travel season
139
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
We've got more trips coming up
140
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000
We got this one this week
141
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Three more
142
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,000
And then we've got
143
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
We're doing the K-Love Awards show
144
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
On the 25th, 26th
145
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Yeah, that's gonna be great
146
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
It's gonna be exciting
147
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000
But we'll be out then
148
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
In fact, Adam, the Podfather Curry
149
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Is actually not podcasting that week
150
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,000
And going with us
151
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,000
This is, okay
152
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Miracles still happen
153
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,000
They still happen
154
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,000
God is still on the throne
155
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,000
You're so funny
156
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Parting the Red Sea
157
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Yes
158
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
That's a big deal for him to take a step back
159
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,000
From his show
160
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000
It's a big deal
161
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
But this is important
162
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
And I think this is good for him
163
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Based on what he's doing in the industry
164
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
The music industry
165
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
And what he's trying to provide for them
166
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
And getting to see this K-Love Awards
167
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
And all the Christian artists
168
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
That he could be helping along the way
169
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
I think it's just gonna be
170
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Really good information for him
171
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,000
I do too
172
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,000
I think it's educational for him
173
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
We'll have a little meetup
174
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000
While we're there with a handful of people
175
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Yes
176
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Which will be cool
177
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Seeing people who are fans of No Agenda
178
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,000
And Currie and the Keeper
179
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,000
And hopefully
180
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Living up in a down world
181
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
And us
182
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Pastor Jimmy DeManette
183
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,000
And Mr. Chevy
184
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
And so, Sir Brian with an I
185
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
I want you to be encouraged
186
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Because you have been brutal on us
187
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Because Mr. Chevy has not been on the show
188
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Well, he's here now
189
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
So he's here now
190
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000
And it was easy
191
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,000
I think bringing him
192
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
It's like, oh wait, we can do this
193
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Because all he wants to do is just sit in our lap
194
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,000
I know
195
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,000
And we can work
196
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,000
He's in your chair right now
197
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000
So yeah, we're good to go
198
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Okay, so then we have one more trip
199
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Where we're going
200
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Is that the Colorado trip?
201
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,000
The Colorado trip
202
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
We were blessed with a
203
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000
A week
204
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
A week at a timeshare in close to Vail
205
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
I keep saying Aspen
206
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
But it's close to Vail
207
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
It's about 15 minutes from Vail, Colorado
208
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
That is a rest trip
209
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Yes, finally
210
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
All these others are working trips
211
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
I think we'll be fine
212
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000
To either record the podcast earlier
213
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,000
And have it ready
214
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Or bring our equipment
215
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,000
I'll think about that
216
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Because we're TSA approved
217
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,000
So we don't have to
218
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000
That's true
219
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,000
That makes it a lot easier
220
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000
To get through
221
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,000
So anyway, we might do that
222
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Because we might have some things to say
223
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
While we're there
224
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Yeah, that's true
225
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Because what are we going to do for a week?
226
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,000
I mean really
227
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000
I can bring the small mic stands
228
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Okay, you got me thinking already
229
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Yeah
230
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Okay, all right
231
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
We may do that
232
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
I mean I think it's going to be great
233
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Because I've never been to this part of Colorado
234
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Yeah
235
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
So I'm excited to see the beauty
236
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
And I heard there could actually still be snow
237
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
And I'm like, really?
238
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Wow
239
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Someone said that to me
240
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Wow
241
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,000
You might actually see snow
242
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,000
It's already
243
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,000
And you know I've said this
244
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000
On the podcast before
245
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
I don't go to Colorado and not see snow
246
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,000
So all right, Lord
247
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,000
You're listening to me
248
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,000
I need some snow
249
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,000
I don't have to play it
250
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,000
It could happen
251
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,000
I mean we're coming at the end
252
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Of an 11-year warming cycle
253
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Which is typical
254
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
And we're moving into a cooling cycle
255
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
All the climate activists are going to lose their mind
256
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Because the temps are going to drop
257
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,000
That's a joke anyway
258
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,000
So they're going to be freaking out
259
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,000
It's a scam
260
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000
It's a scam
261
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,000
It's a total global scam
262
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,000
It's a poli-
263
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Okay, I better not
264
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Okay, now you're going to get political
265
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,000
I'm about to run down a road here
266
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Yeah
267
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,000
I mean you need to just get on
268
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
No agenda with Adam
269
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
I think that's your new shows
270
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,000
Man
271
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,000
If something happens to John
272
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Now it's Jimmy and Adam
273
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,000
I can just see it now
274
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Jimmy D
275
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
He'll be like
276
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,000
That'll be the only way you'll listen to me
277
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,000
I'm like
278
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,000
But you're three hours
279
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
It is long
280
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
It is long
281
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,000
But it's awesome
282
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,000
It's so full of information
283
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,000
I'm going to ask him
284
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,000
This is what I'm going to ask him to do
285
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
I want you to stay at the church
286
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
All pre-services and listen to us
287
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
And you tell me how you can do it
288
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Yeah
289
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000
I think he can
290
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,000
He can't do it
291
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Because he has a show
292
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Yeah, because of no agenda
293
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000
So, yeah
294
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000
By the way, y'all should check out
295
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,000
No Agenda
296
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
That is total media deconstruction
297
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Which they need to be deconstructed
298
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
On an ongoing basis
299
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000
And there's so much low-hanging fruit
300
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Because the world is losing its mind right now
301
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
So really three and a half hours
302
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Isn't a stretch for those guys
303
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Think about it
304
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
It's given them a show
305
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,000
No doubt
306
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
If the media wasn't corrupt
307
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
And just totally off on all of their reporting
308
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
There would be no reason for no agenda
309
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
So no agenda is happening
310
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Because the media is corrupt
311
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000
They just have to turn to
312
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Currying the Keeper
313
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,000
And turn it into a three-hour show
314
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Right
315
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
No, she would never do that
316
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,000
And that's another great show
317
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,000
We always want to recommend
318
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Currying the Keeper
319
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
We love Adam and Tina
320
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Some of our dearest friends on the planet
321
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Their wedding renewal
322
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,000
This is a big deal
323
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Vowel service this Sunday night
324
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000
That we get to be a part of
325
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000
I'm so excited about it
326
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Because of their newfound faith
327
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000
And it happening with Bridge Church
328
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
And so I think it's just going to be beautiful
329
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Yeah, we've got folks coming from all over the place
330
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000
That are going to come celebrate with them
331
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
They thought maybe 15 people would be there
332
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
And they invited all these people from all these other states
333
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,000
And they're all going
334
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,000
We're coming
335
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Yeah, we're showing up
336
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
It's Adam Curry and Tina Curry
337
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,000
It's going to be cool
338
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Oh my goodness
339
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
A Currying the Keeper wedding
340
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Renewal
341
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
I told her you have to give them something
342
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
A reason why they're there
343
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
I mean you've got to go all out
344
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
I mean just spend a little bit of money
345
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000
But treat them with the best
346
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Because they deserve it
347
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
For spending their own money to come out there
348
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
To come and celebrate
349
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
It's going to be beautiful
350
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
What she's doing is top notch
351
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
It's only what Tina and Adam would do
352
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,000
And I'm excited too
353
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Because I get to officiate
354
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000
I get to actually lead
355
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
And she told me if it was my real wedding
356
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
You would be my maid of honor
357
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,000
And I wanted to say, well I can still stand up there with you
358
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000
You're funny
359
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,000
You're funny
360
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,000
I've never been a maid of honor
361
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,000
In my whole life
362
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Well
363
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,000
I know
364
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
It's sad
365
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
No, you don't understand
366
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
I'm sorry
367
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,000
That's something that I've missed out on
368
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Is this triggering you?
369
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Maybe I was a maid of honor at my sister's wedding
370
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,000
That was in the 70s
371
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
I was 10 years old
372
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
I wouldn't even know
373
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Wow
374
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,000
I know
375
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000
It is triggering me
376
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,000
So let's go back to them
377
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Okay
378
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
I'm just super excited for them
379
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,000
It's going to be beautiful
380
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000
And what I love is that now that they are totally in Christ
381
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
And walking with Jesus
382
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000
As Adam says, I'm a Jesus freak
383
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
I mean just call it what it is
384
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,000
I'm a Jesus freak
385
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
And I love that
386
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
And God's really using both of them
387
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
And what their story, their testimony
388
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Is so powerful and compelling
389
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
But what's happening is
390
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Or what happened is they got married
391
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
And I think they did a rent a priest or something
392
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Kind of thing
393
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Rent or an officiant
394
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
They didn't have a relationship with God
395
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000
So it was just a contractual marriage
396
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
And now this is going to be covenantal
397
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
So such a beautiful thing
398
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
And I thought it was just a great idea
399
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
And so I'm just thrilled and honored
400
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
That we get to be a part of it
401
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
And celebrate with our dear friends
402
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
What's happening in their lives
403
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
So congratulations you two
404
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000
We love you and are excited and honored
405
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000
To walk with you through this journey
406
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Yes, absolutely
407
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
So show number 63
408
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
I mean we're rolling right along
409
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
We've had a few breaks here and there
410
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Our life is insane right now
411
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
And we got invited to go on another trip
412
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
What?
413
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Well yesterday with Rick Green
414
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Oh, yeah
415
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Patriot Academy
416
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
And when I looked at the schedule
417
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
I'm like okay well it's in between this trip and this trip
418
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,000
But the first night is the night that you're doing
419
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,000
A presentation with Liberty Moms
420
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,000
So that's how
421
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
I'm speaking at an event
422
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
So I'm going to have to decline
423
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000
But we'll have to take him up on the next trip
424
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Yeah, Liberty Moms
425
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,000
These ladies are amazing
426
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,000
They're just going into their school system
427
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,000
And they're not fighting the school system
428
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,000
They're fighting some of the forces behind
429
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
What's driving putting porn books
430
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,000
In the libraries
431
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,000
In the libraries
432
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
In elementary, middle school, high school
433
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
And they've had some success
434
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
And now they've been stalled out
435
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
And so we're just there to support and encourage them
436
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000
It's happening all over this
437
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Everywhere
438
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Even in Little Low Fredericksburg, Texas
439
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Yeah, where you would think it wouldn't happen
440
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,000
It's unbelievable
441
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
There's just a lot of evil out there
442
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000
There's a lot of ignorance too
443
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Because most people don't believe it
444
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Or they don't
445
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,000
And then when you show them excerpts
446
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Of the actual books that kids are checking out
447
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
And we know they're checking them out
448
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Because you can see they're checking out
449
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Yes
450
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,000
It's pornography
451
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000
But the thing is
452
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Straight up pornography
453
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Even the school board
454
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,000
When someone gets up to read off what's in the books
455
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,000
They're like stop, stop
456
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,000
It's so offensive
457
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,000
I'm like wait
458
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,000
You don't want to hear it
459
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Right
460
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Because it's offensive
461
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000
But it's okay for a 6 year old
462
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,000
An 8 year old
463
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,000
A 12 year old
464
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,000
A 15 year old
465
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,000
To read that
466
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,000
It's okay
467
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000
And what is their thinking
468
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Well they have the opportunity anyway
469
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Because of the internet
470
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
I know
471
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,000
But not in school
472
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,000
This is education
473
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
We're supposed to be educated
474
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Not indoctrination
475
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Yes
476
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Not grooming
477
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Sexually grooming kids
478
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,000
That's what public schools
479
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
I thought it was reading, writing, arithmetic
480
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,000
What happened to that?
481
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,000
I know
482
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Public school has turned into
483
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000
And there are so many good public school principals
484
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,000
I was going to say
485
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000
There are great teachers
486
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,000
People working in that field
487
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000
And I feel bad for them
488
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
And their hands are cuffed
489
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Yes
490
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000
They are trapped into a system that's broken
491
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,000
It's not their fault
492
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,000
And it's their livelihood
493
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000
That's what breaks my heart
494
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
We need to pray for them
495
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
We have Scott in our church
496
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,000
He's a principal
497
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
He's of the middle school
498
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Middle school
499
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Great guy
500
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
And we have a lot of teachers
501
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
We have great teachers
502
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000
The Sivingtons
503
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,000
And they do the best they can
504
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Houston
505
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Yes
506
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,000
To navigate it
507
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
There are standards that they have to teach
508
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
And I feel bad for them
509
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
We have one who will go unnamed
510
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Who came to us and just said
511
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
I can't do it anymore
512
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,000
I'm done
513
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,000
I'm done
514
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
I've got to quit
515
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,000
I've got to walk away from it
516
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,000
And not everybody has that opportunity
517
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,000
He wanted to be in it
518
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
To help people
519
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,000
And to really encourage the next generation
520
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,000
But he's so trapped in his particular field
521
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Yes
522
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,000
And area
523
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Don't need to say what it is
524
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000
No
525
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Don't want to identify him
526
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,000
But he's caught in it
527
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000
He's got nothing he can do
528
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
So he's like I've got to get out
529
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
I've got to get out
530
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
I can't with a good conscience do that
531
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,000
So anyway
532
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Our heart breaks for that
533
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
So this Moms for Liberty
534
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000
These ladies are their mama bears
535
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,000
And they're all over the United States
536
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,000
And they get vilified
537
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
They get smashed in the press
538
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
The liberal left agenda
539
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Marxist agenda slams them constantly
540
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000
And they just get put down in the paper
541
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,000
And there's so much propaganda
542
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
And they're lying about things they're saying
543
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Oh they're lying about them
544
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,000
It's horrible
545
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,000
And they're harassing them
546
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Literally calling, hanging
547
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
I mean just silly like prank stuff
548
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,000
So anyway
549
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000
I said I would be glad
550
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Honored to open in prayer
551
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
And say something to encourage
552
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
And so we've got that event
553
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
That we'll be part of
554
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
I'm looking forward to many many more opportunities
555
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
To speak about our liberties
556
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,000
That are eroding
557
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000
And how we get God back into this thing
558
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Because we've got to get God back in the culture
559
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000
I mean we've got to get back to our original documents
560
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
America was founded on the principles of the Bible
561
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Absolutely
562
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,000
And we've walked away from it
563
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000
And our current administration wants to take God
564
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Out of every area of life
565
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Yeah, speaking of
566
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Listen to this
567
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000
This is from a little document
568
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Called the Declaration of Independence
569
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
You may have heard of it
570
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,000
I don't know
571
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Most people haven't these days
572
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Especially the next generation
573
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Because they're not being taught
574
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,000
They're taking it out
575
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Yeah
576
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Revisionist history is destroying our foundations
577
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,000
But listen to this
578
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Declaration of Independence
579
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Drafted in 1776
580
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Ratified I believe in 89
581
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
So it was a few years later
582
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,000
We hold these truths to be self-evident
583
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
That all men are created equal
584
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
That they are endowed by their creator
585
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Let me repeat that
586
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Yeah
587
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,000
By their creator
588
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,000
With certain unalienable rights
589
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
That among these are life, liberty
590
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
And the pursuit of happiness
591
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
That to secure these rights
592
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Governments are instituted among men
593
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Deriving their just powers from
594
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Let me just say this again
595
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Who this is from
596
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Not from ruling oligarchy
597
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Or ruling dictators or emperors
598
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,000
We are a constitutional republic
599
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Not a democracy
600
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,000
We're moving towards socialism
601
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Super fast
602
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Super fast
603
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,000
And we're trying to put the brakes on that
604
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Deriving their just powers from
605
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
The consent of the governed
606
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Government
607
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,000
No, not the government
608
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,000
I mean the governed
609
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
The consent of the governed
610
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,000
That's us
611
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000
We the people
612
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,000
We the people
613
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Yes
614
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000
And we are
615
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,000
I mean
616
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
We are the people who have considered the ignorant masses
617
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,000
They've taken us out of it
618
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,000
They've taken God out of it
619
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000
They have put themselves
620
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,000
It's an anarchy
621
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,000
It is
622
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Well, no
623
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Well, no
624
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,000
It is
625
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,000
They're trying to create anarchy
626
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Yeah, they're creating division and chaos
627
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Yes
628
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,000
They're creating it
629
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000
But they want to be the leaders
630
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
And dominate everything
631
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
And lead all of us deplorables
632
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,000
And they're dumbing us all down
633
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Stupid people
634
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
They're dumbing us down
635
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000
In education
636
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
And taking out everything
637
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000
That we grew up in history knowing
638
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
So the kids of today don't know anything
639
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Oh, yeah
640
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,000
And so they only know what they're being taught
641
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Literally editing history
642
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Editing history so that the founding fathers
643
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Who were Christians and pastors
644
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,000
And deacons and elders in their churches
645
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Are being edited out
646
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Their statements, their quotes
647
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Are being withheld and dumbed down
648
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000
So that the next generation doesn't even know
649
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000
We were founded on biblical principles
650
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Unless their parents are teaching them
651
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
And the sad thing is their parents don't know either
652
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,000
They don't know
653
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
So we've got to get back to our original documents
654
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,000
This generation
655
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Yeah
656
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Earlier generations
657
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000
But I wouldn't know to teach my daughter that
658
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
I would think that the school's teaching her
659
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
I had, and this is what happened
660
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,000
COVID happened
661
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000
And then school was having to be
662
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Taught
663
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Online
664
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,000
At home
665
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Parents having to supervise
666
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Parents are seeing
667
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Because they're at home because they can't go to work
668
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Because of what the government did with this pandemic
669
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
And so they're sitting there with their children
670
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,000
They're having to
671
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
The children's asking questions
672
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Because they don't know how to
673
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,000
You know
674
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Or mom's looking over Junior's
675
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Shoulder
676
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
And seeing this going what?
677
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Yeah
678
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,000
And now
679
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,000
It was a wake up call
680
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
People are waking up
681
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,000
But not enough people
682
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Not enough and it's too slow
683
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
And so if you're listening to this podcast
684
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,000
We need you to join
685
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Jump in
686
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
I mean we need people to be informed
687
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,000
We need people
688
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
I want you to do something
689
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
I want you to go to PatriotAcademy.com
690
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Patriot Academy
691
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,000
You can look it up
692
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Just Google Patriot Academy
693
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Rick Green
694
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,000
They have lots of information
695
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000
They are biblically based
696
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Rick, Kara, and his family
697
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Attend our church
698
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
They've moved over here from Dripping Springs
699
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
To set up their academy here
700
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,000
They're building it all out right
701
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
It's an amazing campus
702
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
They teach and equip the next generation
703
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
How to go into their schools
704
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
They take that gap year
705
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
And they go in and they're equipped
706
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,000
To answer questions
707
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
And they're equipped to call out
708
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Their history teachers who are faking it
709
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
And teaching lies and propaganda
710
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
And they're equipped to deal with that
711
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
So they teach them and ground them
712
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,000
In the Word of God
713
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
And in our original documents
714
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
And so it's an amazing organization
715
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,000
They have great
716
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
And Rick has a great podcast
717
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Called The Tavern
718
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
We're actually taking a course
719
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Adding another thing to our plate
720
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Tonight at 7 o'clock
721
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
We start our first class
722
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Biblical Citizenship
723
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,000
With Kurt Cameron
724
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Yes, Kurt Cameron will be the speaker tonight
725
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000
So that's going to be great
726
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,000
And then we're going to host it here
727
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
In our church as well
728
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
So anyway, that's another one
729
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Another one is wall builders
730
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Just look up wall builders
731
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,000
David and Tim Barton
732
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Those guys have miles of information
733
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000
It's unbelievable how much volumes of information
734
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
But we just need to get back to our basic stuff
735
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Read the Declaration of Independence
736
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Just read that
737
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Read the Bill of Rights
738
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Check it out
739
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,000
And I'm re-educating myself
740
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
So much of this I had in school
741
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
In high school and in Poli Sci
742
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000
As an Academy of Freedom student
743
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,000
At Howard Payne University
744
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,000
And a Bible major
745
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,000
So I did both Poli Sci and Bible
746
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
And I'm re-acquainting myself
747
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,000
With our original documents
748
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Okay, I'm going to land the plane
749
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Because I could really keep going on this
750
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,000
You sure could
751
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,000
But part of the reason is we spent last week where?
752
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,000
We spent our last week in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
753
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:15,000
For four days of a fire hose just being poured out on us
754
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
With this information of what's happening
755
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000
In the government right now
756
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,000
What's happening in America
757
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,000
And helping us understand our constitutional rights
758
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
What is actually said and what is actually being done
759
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Which is going against everything that laws were made for
760
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
A literal Marxist agenda that's been happening for decades
761
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000
This isn't anything new
762
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
But what's happening is coming to fruition now
763
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
It started many decades ago
764
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,000
And now it is culminated into just total chaos
765
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Things like anti-Semitism, pro-Hamas
766
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Protests on over 200 schools
767
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000
I say over 50 schools
768
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,000
But I think it's actually accelerated from there
769
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,000
And all this is fueled by organizations
770
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000
That connect back to George Soros, Rockefeller, all these guys
771
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Obama
772
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
And yeah, just say it
773
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Let's just say it
774
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,000
All these go back to and tie into a full on
775
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Declared Marxist agenda
776
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Not just something
777
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,000
And nothing is hidden here
778
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
This is all very much in the open
779
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Sorry, I'm making noise
780
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Antifa
781
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:35,000
All these organizations are actually supplying these kids with signs
782
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,000
And it's just unbelievable
783
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,000
And they don't even know what they're doing
784
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,000
They're just being told
785
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,000
They don't even know
786
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,000
You need to get in on this
787
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
And they're going, okay, just give me a sign
788
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
And then a reporter asks them
789
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,000
What's this about?
790
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,000
And they're like, I don't know
791
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
I don't know why I'm here
792
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,000
But boy, is this fun
793
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Man, I'm telling you
794
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,000
What's happening too is finally people are beginning to crack down on these
795
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
And they're telling these kids, you're done
796
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Your education is useless now
797
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Because you will not be hired
798
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,000
I'm very glad about that
799
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000
You might go over to the east and get a job somewhere in Iran
800
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
But you're not getting a job here
801
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,000
And I think it's good
802
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:18,000
They're actually going to crack down on these crack pots basically
803
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
They don't even know what they're doing
804
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Freedom of speech isn't so that you can be belligerent and violent and hateful towards people
805
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
That's not the point of freedom of speech
806
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,000
No
807
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:37,000
If that freedom of speech is damaging and hurting and literally creating violence
808
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
And creating dissension and division
809
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000
That has to stop
810
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000
That's not what free speech is for
811
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
That's not the point of it
812
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000
We've pushed the envelopes on these things
813
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,000
We've overinterpreted many of them
814
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,000
And gone way beyond the scope of what our founding fathers meant
815
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Anyway, I'm glad some schools are reeling that back in
816
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,000
Some of them are just total sellouts anyway
817
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
They're just a part of the system
818
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Moving right along
819
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,000
What else is going on?
820
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,000
We were in Milwaukee
821
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
By the way, beautiful city
822
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,000
I did not realize it
823
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000
There were some beautiful areas we were in
824
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,000
And the weather was rainy
825
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000
It's rainy everywhere right now
826
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Raining here
827
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,000
So Milwaukee last week, we'll be in Dallas, Fort Worth this week
828
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Just for a few days
829
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,000
It'll be a real quick trip
830
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
And get to connect with some people that we love and care about
831
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,000
In our church world
832
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
And then we're back and then...
833
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Then Colorado, like I said
834
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,000
That's it
835
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,000
No, Nashville
836
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Nashville
837
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Yeah
838
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Yeah, so anyway
839
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,000
So we had a really beautiful, beautiful Mother's Day yesterday
840
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Because this is Monday
841
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,000
And we had this brainstorm in our staff meeting about two weeks ago
842
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,000
That I wasn't included in
843
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
It's kind of a mutiny
844
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
You might call it a loving, a benevolent mutiny
845
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,000
You think so
846
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,000
If there is such a thing
847
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Benevolent manipulation
848
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,000
It was a benevolent mutiny
849
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Where one of our staff said,
850
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Pastor Annette
851
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,000
No
852
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Dame Annette
853
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,000
First off, they asked,
854
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Pastor Jimmy, what are you going to preach on this Sunday?
855
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Because we always talk about what you're going to preach on
856
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
And I think it was you that said
857
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Was it you who said,
858
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,000
No, I think Annette should preach
859
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,000
That was some way said,
860
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Oh, by the way, two weeks, week and a half, Mother's Day is coming up
861
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,000
And that's when I said,
862
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Oh, well Annette should preach
863
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,000
And when I said it, the whole staff jumped in
864
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
And they were like, yes, yes
865
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,000
They mutinied on me
866
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,000
They totally mutinied
867
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,000
You were so outvoted
868
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,000
7 to 1
869
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Okay
870
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,000
And so
871
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,000
There's a good reason for that
872
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Well, there's two reasons
873
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,000
One
874
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,000
Tell us
875
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Well, there's two reasons
876
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000
One, it's Mother's Day
877
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Nobody ever feels like they're a good enough mother to preach on Mother's Day for sure
878
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:56,000
But also, I haven't been in the pulpit in years and years and years and years
879
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
And so that just gave me a little pause
880
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000
But thirdly, let's just say there's three things, not just two
881
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,000
But thirdly, I take it very seriously
882
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:13,000
The weight of preaching the Word of God and dividing His Word out to people
883
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000
That's a serious thing
884
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
So just to be caught off guard like that was
885
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
It was not fair
886
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,000
It was not fair to me
887
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,000
But you know what?
888
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,000
You handled it with grace and you said, you know what?
889
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,000
I'll think about it
890
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,000
I'll think about it
891
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
I'll let you know
892
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
When you said you'll think about it, you were done
893
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Because everybody was all over it
894
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,000
I was like, oh Lord
895
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
And so then the next day
896
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
I was in my devotions
897
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
I was doing a you version devotion
898
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
And it came upon this scripture
899
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000
And it just jumped off the page
900
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,000
And I felt like it was God saying
901
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,000
You can do this
902
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
But you're not going to do it in your own strength
903
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,000
You're going to do it in mine
904
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Because you're weak
905
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Because you're weak
906
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
And it was
907
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,000
I was like, I can't do this
908
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,000
I'm just too
909
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
And God said, no, you're going to do it in my strength
910
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
And it was the scripture of the day
911
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000
And I just began to read that passage
912
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000
You always look at the context of the passage
913
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,000
And it was a passage that Paul was talking about too
914
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,000
To the church, I think in Rome
915
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
And so I was like, okay
916
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,000
I can do this
917
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
So I called Tina and I said, I'm going to do this
918
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,000
And she was like, really?
919
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,000
So you're going to preach on that?
920
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,000
I'm like, I don't know
921
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
I don't know if this is just for me
922
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Or if I'm supposed to preach on this
923
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,000
I really don't know
924
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,000
But it's Mother's Day
925
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
How do you bring mother into that?
926
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,000
And so God totally laid it all out
927
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
While we were in Milwaukee
928
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,000
And wrote my sermon Saturday
929
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,000
No, Friday
930
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,000
I wrote it Friday morning
931
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Spent all day in the kitchen just writing
932
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
And the Lord just given me all these scriptures
933
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,000
And just things that I was supposed to say
934
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,000
And I felt extremely confident that this was the word of the Lord
935
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
And I did something I've never done
936
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000
You know, we talk a lot about our lives
937
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Especially on this podcast
938
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Everybody knows all about my life
939
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
But I never shared about my mother
940
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:08,000
And what the transformation in her life
941
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Before Christ and after
942
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
That literally changed the trajectory of all of our lives
943
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Especially my father who came to know Christ
944
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Basically within a couple of weeks of him dying
945
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,000
And it was because of the seeds my mother planted
946
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
And myself and my sister I believe
947
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,000
But I was able to use the message
948
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
And talk about her being sold out 24-7
949
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,000
And how we need to walk in Lordship
950
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:41,000
And I said the best gift a mother can give their family
951
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Is to really walk in 24-7 Lordship
952
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Where you're giving everything
953
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
And what was the question I posed
954
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Before, during, and after my sermon?
955
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Do you remember?
956
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,000
I do
957
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000
I wrote it down because it was so powerful
958
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,000
What part of your life is Jesus not the Lord over?
959
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,000
And that was the whole premise of my message
960
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,000
And I said it over and over and over
961
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:12,000
So for our listeners, what part of your life is Jesus not the Lord over?
962
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Drop the mic
963
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Even as we were driving in and praying
964
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:23,000
You said there is an area that I think we need to give to the Lord
965
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,000
And we talked about it, I'm not going to talk about it
966
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,000
It's personal but it's not sinful
967
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,000
It's not anything
968
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
It's just one little area
969
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
And I'm like you know what?
970
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,000
I love that even preaching that and studying it
971
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
The Lord showed us something
972
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,000
I think he's always going to show us something
973
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Where are you going?
974
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,000
You're leaving
975
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000
You're what?
976
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Okay
977
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,000
And so I feel like this is what I love about the Word of God
978
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Is that we're always learning
979
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,000
And we should, okay let me put it this way
980
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,000
We should always be learning and growing
981
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,000
And when you preach a message, if it's not for you first
982
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
I don't even know if you should preach it
983
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
You know what I'm saying?
984
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Either you preach it because you're learning it or you have learned it
985
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Right
986
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Do you know what I'm saying?
987
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,000
So I felt so strongly about this one
988
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,000
And so I preached three services
989
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Okay now I get it
990
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
And I had high heels on
991
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Okay you and Brian don't wear high heels
992
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,000
I had like four inch high heels on
993
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Don't try to diminish our suffering
994
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,000
We do it every weekend
995
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,000
I know
996
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
I did sit down some during worship just to preserve my feet
997
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,000
I actually didn't get really really tired until the very end
998
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,000
But it was amazing
999
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000
I had a great time
1000
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,000
But this is what I kept telling people
1001
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,000
I don't want this to just be a good message
1002
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Oh we heard a good message
1003
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Or it was okay, it was an okay message
1004
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000
I want it to be convicting
1005
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000
To me if a church, if you walk out and you just say that was good
1006
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,000
You didn't learn anything, you're not going to apply anything
1007
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000
It's just a message, it's just nothing, it's just talk
1008
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000
But a message should be convicting
1009
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Can I give you an example of that?
1010
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Yes
1011
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Let you rest for a sec
1012
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Okay
1013
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
So we were in Milwaukee
1014
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Yes
1015
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,000
They do a presentation
1016
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Yes
1017
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
One hour of drinking from a fire hose
1018
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Showing how Marxism has crept into our schools
1019
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Starting back in the early 1900s
1020
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Back with Rockefeller and all the funding to dumb people down for the factory lines
1021
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,000
They wanted to create good factory workers
1022
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:50,000
So they shaped education to basically teach them not to be critical, independent thinkers
1023
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Because they needed to be able to be subservient and obedient
1024
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,000
And so that started a whole new kind of education
1025
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Just beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic
1026
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,000
We drink from the fire hose
1027
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:10,000
We hear books and lists of statistics of how bad things are right now in our schools
1028
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
And in our general world
1029
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:17,000
And the host gets up and goes, well how did everybody enjoy that?
1030
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,000
And I'm sitting here going, I didn't enjoy that at all
1031
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000
I'm thinking, I need to do something about this
1032
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000
What is my role?
1033
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:30,000
What am I supposed to do with this hard information I just heard?
1034
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:35,000
And so I thought to myself, that was the wrong question to ask
1035
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000
And I went up to the presenter
1036
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Because he ended up standing right over where we are
1037
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,000
And you said that to him
1038
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,000
And I walked over to him and I said, thank you so much for sharing
1039
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:48,000
And I said, Paul, who was the host, I said, Paul asked the wrong question
1040
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,000
He goes, what do you mean?
1041
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
I said, he asked, how did you all enjoy that?
1042
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000
And I said, I'll let you know in a week or two after I've processed this
1043
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
He said, I get what you're saying
1044
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
He understood what I meant
1045
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:04,000
But it should be, when truth is presented
1046
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:09,000
It should cross cut anything in our lives that is not under the Lordship of Christ
1047
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Right
1048
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
And we all have something
1049
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Some things
1050
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Yes, we all have many things
1051
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Some things God is working on with us
1052
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000
And it's not always big and epic
1053
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:26,000
It's typically little nuanced things, little habits you fall into
1054
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,000
It could be gossip, it could be negative talk, it could be coarse talking
1055
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
It could be cussing, it could be
1056
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Gosh, I mean I'm thinking little things
1057
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,000
I know, it could be a thousand things
1058
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,000
It's not these big things
1059
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Right, nuanced things
1060
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000
And so that's what I was hoping
1061
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,000
And so of all the
1062
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,000
I've gotten so many emails and texts from preaching
1063
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,000
And I appreciate them so much
1064
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,000
But the ones that meant more to me, I don't want to say more
1065
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Because they all meant something, they all did
1066
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:03,000
But the ones that I took notice of were the ones that said
1067
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,000
You caused me to think
1068
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,000
There you go
1069
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,000
That's what every preacher, every speaker
1070
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,000
That's our goal, that's our objective
1071
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,000
When we're speaking, we're preaching, we're teaching, whatever
1072
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,000
School teacher, we've provoked people to think
1073
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
And that's a conviction
1074
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,000
That's a, oh
1075
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,000
That's something the Holy Spirit can work with
1076
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,000
When you have to think about something
1077
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Even if it's provocative
1078
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,000
I'm not intentionally provocative, but truth cuts
1079
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
And when you bring the truth
1080
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
And you do it because you love people
1081
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
The Bible says that we're to speak the truth in love
1082
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,000
That's a primary preposition, the word in
1083
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000
And it literally means because, by or with
1084
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000
So we speak the truth because we love
1085
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Not just in love
1086
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
If you just keep it in that place
1087
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaking the truth in love, that's like
1088
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Oh, you need to dumb it down
1089
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Because it's not loving to say something that causes
1090
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Consternation in somebody
1091
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
That causes disruption
1092
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,000
And that's not true
1093
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
No, no, if it makes them uncomfortable
1094
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
That's not, that can't be love
1095
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
No, we do it because we love them
1096
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000
If the bridge is out, I have responsibility because I love you
1097
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,000
To warn you, to be a watchman on the wall
1098
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,000
To be Paul Revere who rode through
1099
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,000
And let them know the British are coming
1100
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,000
It's that, you've got to be that one who's sounding the alarm
1101
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
And that's what truth does
1102
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,000
It sounds an alarm against sin
1103
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,000
And against rebellion
1104
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000
And against when we're going against God
1105
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,000
And I'm not talking political
1106
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,000
I'm not talking government
1107
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000
I'm talking about you being a self-governor
1108
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Of your own soul
1109
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Right, right
1110
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000
And one of the things
1111
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Obviously, the title of my message was
1112
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Is Jesus your Sunday habit?
1113
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,000
No, you left out a word
1114
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Is Jesus just your Sunday habit?
1115
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Just your Sunday habit
1116
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Which means do you only hear about him, think about him
1117
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,000
See him on Sunday morning
1118
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,000
But then you don't think, see, hear about him during the week
1119
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
And we used an illustration
1120
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,000
I say week because you and I talked about it
1121
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
About a former employee
1122
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Who worked with our youth
1123
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,000
As a volunteer
1124
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
But she was an employee
1125
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000
And she made this statement
1126
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
In one of our staff meetings
1127
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,000
That she separates her Christian life from her personal life
1128
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,000
And I'm just going...
1129
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Notice the word former employee?
1130
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Yes
1131
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,000
She didn't last long
1132
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000
No, but the sad thing is...
1133
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Say again what she said
1134
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Okay, she separates her Christian life from her personal life
1135
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Okay, this bothers me because how often
1136
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
And she would tell the children that
1137
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Youth
1138
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Youth
1139
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000
How often did she tell them that?
1140
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
How much of that did they hear
1141
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000
And how much are they doing because of what she said?
1142
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000
How much damage did she do?
1143
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Oh my gosh, there are scriptures about people
1144
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,000
That lead children away from the Lord
1145
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Like a millstone tire on your neck thrown into the ocean
1146
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
And I'm just like what?
1147
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,000
That is antithetical to the gospel
1148
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,000
But what happens is then they see their parents doing the same thing
1149
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,000
They see their parents live one way, talk another way
1150
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,000
Which is something I've seen in my life
1151
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
In a former life
1152
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,000
And so I'm just...I was so appalled
1153
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,000
To remember that she did that
1154
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
And it made me think
1155
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,000
There are so many people out there
1156
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,000
That have separated their lives
1157
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,000
And you're either a Christian, you're all in Christian
1158
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Or you're not a Christian at all to me
1159
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000
You cannot have it both ways
1160
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
You just cannot have it
1161
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Even the Bible talks about you can't live in the world
1162
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,000
And be spiritual
1163
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
You just can't
1164
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000
We're in the world but we're not of the world
1165
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,000
And so it's...I spoke this message
1166
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000
And I highlighted my mother a lot
1167
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Because she was the one who really impacted my life
1168
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:09,000
I got to see the difference in her
1169
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Before she was a Christian and after she was a Christian
1170
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,000
The transformation was just unbelievable
1171
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
She still had her quirks
1172
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,000
She got into legalism and all that
1173
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000
But that doesn't matter
1174
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
It's what I saw before and after
1175
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
I was talking to Faith about it today
1176
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
And she said, yeah I didn't see Mammal like that
1177
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
I said, but you didn't see her before
1178
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,000
So you have no idea
1179
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
You don't know the contrast
1180
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000
And she said, yeah you're right
1181
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,000
And Pawpaw died before I was born
1182
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,000
I said yes
1183
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000
And that was what she had to deal with
1184
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,000
With my father for 50 years
1185
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,000
She overcame the fear that was happening in our home
1186
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Because of what Christ did for her
1187
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,000
And she lived for Christ
1188
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,000
She didn't live for what was going on at home
1189
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,000
She didn't allow that fear of my dad
1190
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:02,000
Constantly bringing curses against us
1191
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,000
And physical attacks against my mom
1192
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
She didn't live with that
1193
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,000
She allowed God to take over her life
1194
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
And give her peace in the midst of that
1195
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
She just began to lock her own door
1196
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Because dad moved into another bedroom
1197
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,000
I mean she just learned how to live with God
1198
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,000
100% of the day 24-7
1199
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
So to me she was Mammal
1200
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,000
And Mammal was sold out to Jesus
1201
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Mammal, which is funny because she was my mom
1202
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Not my grandmother
1203
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
But she could have been because she was
1204
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,000
She was older when they had you
1205
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
We were older than her when we had faith
1206
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
But we're a little bit more...
1207
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000
I don't know
1208
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Are we cooler?
1209
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
I almost said progressive, but I don't like that word
1210
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
That's a bad word right now
1211
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000
We're just young
1212
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,000
We're young minded
1213
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,000
Young minded, there we go
1214
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,000
And able bodied
1215
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Yes, but she lived for the Lord
1216
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Everything she did was for the Lord
1217
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,000
She did
1218
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,000
I mean she was
1219
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Everything
1220
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Everything
1221
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,000
She served her church
1222
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
She was revered in her church
1223
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,000
Because she started ministries
1224
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000
She ministered to individuals
1225
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,000
She prayed with people
1226
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Hundreds of people came to Christ because of my mother
1227
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Led people to Jesus
1228
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,000
I mean she really was
1229
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,000
And she was very quirky
1230
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,000
And it's easy with people
1231
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Especially family
1232
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,000
To get focused on the quirks
1233
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,000
And miss the gold in the hills
1234
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,000
And miss the jewels that are right in front of you
1235
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,000
And looking back
1236
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000
I think there were times when we were distracted
1237
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,000
By the quirkiness
1238
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Because with family, quirk is always amplified
1239
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,000
It's mom
1240
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,000
It's always amplified
1241
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Mom and their daughters
1242
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,000
There's something about mom and their daughters
1243
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
And if Faith and Alicia listen to this
1244
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Which they don't really listen to our podcast
1245
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Our kids don't listen to our stuff
1246
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,000
But if they listen to it
1247
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,000
They would understand
1248
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Because there is this thing with mom and daughters
1249
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,000
And not everybody
1250
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,000
I know some mom and daughters that are so
1251
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Just have this beautiful relationship
1252
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
But not everybody has that
1253
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,000
And we tend to look only at the negative
1254
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000
And the Lord in writing this sermon
1255
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Said I want you to take the gold
1256
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,000
That was in y'all's relationship
1257
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,000
The gold that you saw
1258
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,000
I love that you did that
1259
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Because he sees that
1260
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,000
I need to see it
1261
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,000
And you know what?
1262
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,000
I have never done this before
1263
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,000
If I have ever spoken out on Mother's Day
1264
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Even if it was just to a small audience
1265
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,000
Women or whatever
1266
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,000
I never have in church that I know of
1267
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Or don't remember
1268
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,000
I always use
1269
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Or if I ever speak
1270
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
And I want to say anything about a mom
1271
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
I always talk about my daughter Alicia
1272
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Being my hero
1273
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Because she gave us our daughter Faith
1274
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:50,000
But I have never ever spoken about my mother
1275
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Unless it was a negative
1276
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,000
And I repent for that
1277
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,000
And I think the Bible talks about
1278
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,000
You honored her
1279
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Honoring our mom and dad
1280
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,000
And that we will live a long life
1281
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000
If we honor our parents
1282
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,000
And I want to live a long healthy life
1283
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Not a long sickly life for sure
1284
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,000
And we want to remember the good
1285
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,000
We want to remember the things
1286
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000
I don't want to be remembered for my mistakes
1287
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Or my quirks
1288
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Exactly
1289
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Or my shortcomings
1290
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,000
And my mother wouldn't want that either
1291
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,000
No, no one would
1292
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
And I don't want that either
1293
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,000
We honor where honors do
1294
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:27,000
It was an honor to preach on Mother's Day
1295
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,000
And be able to share that story
1296
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,000
But really bring in why
1297
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Why do we need to live 24-7?
1298
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Because this world is so fallen
1299
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,000
And things are happening around us
1300
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,000
And we need Jesus to get us through it
1301
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,000
He's our only hope
1302
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,000
And how cool was it that the day you got to preach
1303
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Was a record-setting attendance day
1304
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,000
We had 700 people
1305
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:55,000
We've never had 700 on a regular Sunday
1306
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Other than Christmas and Easter
1307
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,000
So we were on this growing trend
1308
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Which is exciting
1309
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,000
And it's not because we're being sweet and nice
1310
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
We're bringing things hard
1311
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,000
We're going really hard
1312
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,000
We're trying to raise the bar of discipleship
1313
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,000
To say if time is truly short in this world
1314
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,000
And I think if you're looking around and a bit perceptive
1315
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,000
You'd realize things are winding down or up
1316
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Whichever way you look at it
1317
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,000
We're accelerating
1318
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Time is short
1319
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000
And so we don't have time to be nice
1320
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,000
We don't have time to patty cake
1321
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,000
We don't have time to coddle Christians
1322
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000
We've been coddled for too long
1323
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,000
That's why we're weak and anemic
1324
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,000
There's too many preachers out there
1325
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000
That are just tickling the ears of people
1326
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,000
And then they're leaving going, oh, that was a good message
1327
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,000
And then they go have lunch
1328
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,000
And they meet someone
1329
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,000
They go, oh, what did they talk about?
1330
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,000
I don't know
1331
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,000
But I felt good
1332
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,000
But I felt good when I left
1333
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,000
It was good
1334
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Well, there's something wrong there
1335
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Yeah
1336
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,000
There's something wrong
1337
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,000
The Bible says our responsibility is to equip the saints
1338
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,000
For the work of ministry
1339
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Work, work, work
1340
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,000
Which means work and ministry
1341
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Where they live, where they work, where they play
1342
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,000
And so we made a decision as a team
1343
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Yes
1344
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
And I led the charge
1345
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,000
But everybody jumped in and said, we've got to raise the bar
1346
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000
So from our children, our little babies and kids
1347
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,000
By the way, we had a baby dedication service
1348
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,000
13 families
1349
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,000
13 babies, 13 families
1350
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,000
I mean, our stage wasn't big enough for everybody
1351
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,000
So good things are happening
1352
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Need a bigger building and a bigger stage
1353
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,000
The thing is though, since we started raising the bar
1354
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:33,000
And really calling people to step up and speak out for Christ
1355
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,000
And be the change agent in their sphere of influence
1356
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,000
The church started growing
1357
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,000
And we started blowing up
1358
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,000
Because people are ready for truth
1359
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,000
They're ready to be challenged
1360
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,000
And called out
1361
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Not in a bad way
1362
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,000
This is not mean-spirited
1363
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,000
This is because of love
1364
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,000
Right
1365
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,000
It's a love thing
1366
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,000
And you have repented to the church for your apathy
1367
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,000
Yeah, well for being
1368
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Really what I repented of was for being too passive
1369
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Right
1370
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Instead of really challenging them to go all in with Jesus
1371
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Not that I haven't
1372
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,000
Yes
1373
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,000
But this is another level
1374
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,000
It's a whole other level
1375
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,000
It's a whole other thing
1376
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,000
And I did the same thing yesterday
1377
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,000
I apologized
1378
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,000
And cultural engagement
1379
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,000
And said that if you want a church
1380
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,000
That's just going to pat you on the back
1381
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,000
And just let you hear what you want to hear
1382
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Then this might not be the church
1383
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,000
You're in the wrong place
1384
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,000
And if we have 10 people next week
1385
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Then God's given us 10 people
1386
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,000
And we'll see what happens next week
1387
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,000
I've been saying that for months
1388
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,000
And we're up 200 and something people
1389
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,000
It's crazy
1390
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Since New Year
1391
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,000
But I felt like too
1392
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,000
I wanted to repent as a staff member
1393
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,000
Just as for our part
1394
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,000
Because I really feel like God's saying
1395
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,000
The time is near
1396
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:45,000
And I need you to accelerate what I'm doing
1397
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,000
And so help everyone understand
1398
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:52,000
Because as we're gaining this revelation
1399
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,000
It's not for us
1400
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,000
It's for everybody
1401
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,000
That's right
1402
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,000
That's right
1403
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,000
So what we're doing
1404
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,000
It's our job
1405
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,000
We're calling people to go deeper in
1406
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000
In their walk with Jesus
1407
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,000
And to understand the power of lordship in your life
1408
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,000
Jesus has to be Lord
1409
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,000
If He's not Lord overall
1410
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,000
He's not Lord at all
1411
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,000
And so we're calling people to go into a deeper level
1412
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,000
Of obedience and saying yes Lord
1413
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Get up in the morning
1414
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,000
Good morning Holy Spirit
1415
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,000
Good morning Abba Father
1416
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,000
Lord Jesus
1417
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,000
Lord Jesus
1418
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,000
What do you want me to do today?
1419
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,000
Yes, absolutely
1420
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,000
What is my assignment?
1421
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,000
And so we're really drilling that in right now
1422
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:31,000
And what's happening and also that spills over into
1423
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Your sphere of influence out in the culture
1424
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Yes
1425
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,000
We call it cultural engagement
1426
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,000
We've been silent for too long
1427
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,000
The church has capitulated
1428
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,000
There's your word
1429
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,000
I love that word
1430
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,000
The church has capitulated
1431
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,000
Yes
1432
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,000
We have stepped back
1433
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Yes
1434
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,000
We have withdrawn ourselves from the public square
1435
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,000
We're no longer relevant
1436
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,000
We're no longer invited to pray before city council meetings
1437
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,000
That happens in some towns occasionally here
1438
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,000
But we're no longer invited to the table
1439
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,000
In terms of bringing
1440
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,000
A scriptural biblical worldview
1441
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Into a city planning meeting
1442
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,000
Or into the mayor's chambers
1443
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,000
Pastors used to be the leaders
1444
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,000
They were the leaders
1445
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:15,000
Of their wherever they're living
1446
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:19,000
Their cities, their states
1447
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,000
We were known as the leaders
1448
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,000
Not anymore
1449
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,000
No
1450
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:25,000
We've been marginalized
1451
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,000
But here's the thing
1452
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,000
Totally
1453
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,000
We really marginalized ourselves
1454
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,000
And that's the thing we want to own
1455
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,000
Even though it wasn't my generation
1456
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,000
As now as I'm getting older
1457
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Now I'm responsible for what I know
1458
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,000
And so I'm responsible to not be quiet
1459
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,000
And I can't
1460
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,000
I've counted the cost
1461
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,000
We've had these conversations
1462
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,000
There is a cost
1463
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,000
No matter what happens
1464
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,000
Yes
1465
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,000
We will stand
1466
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,000
No matter what happens
1467
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,000
Our mantra down the road
1468
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Probably will not comply
1469
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,000
We're not going to be knuckled under by tyranny
1470
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,000
We're going back to the original documents
1471
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,000
And saying this is what our Constitution says
1472
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,000
This is what the declaration
1473
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,000
This is our Bill of Rights
1474
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,000
And we're saying this is what we operate by
1475
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Because they're founded on God's Word
1476
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,000
Absolutely
1477
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,000
I'm so proud of you
1478
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,000
You stepped up to the plate
1479
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Swung for the fence
1480
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,000
A triple header
1481
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
I can't believe I pulled it off
1482
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,000
Back to back
1483
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,000
You did a fantastic job
1484
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,000
The video of the second one
1485
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,000
You can go online
1486
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,000
Bridge Church
1487
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,000
FBG
1488
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Is it Bridge Church?
1489
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,000
BridgeFBG.com
1490
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,000
I don't even know
1491
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,000
And you can watch that message
1492
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,000
It's not your typical Mother's Day message
1493
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,000
It's a challenge to step up to the plate
1494
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,000
And I'm so proud of you
1495
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,000
Also check out our website

You can find all
1498
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,000
Which will be 63 after I post
1499
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Yeshevi moved over to me
1500
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,000
He's in my lap
1501
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,000
Curled up in a little ball
1502
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000
And I'm just loving on him and petting him
1503
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,000
It's good to have you with us today
1504
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,000
So LivingUpAndAndDownWorld.com
1505
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,000
We've got all of our podcasts on there
1506
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,000
It'll be 63 after I upload this one
1507
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,000
And you can go back in those archives
1508
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,000
You can see the titles
1509
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,000
What the content is
1510
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,000
And also right, right
1511
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Let us know what you're up to
1512
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,000
Let us know what's on your heart
1513
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,000
Let us know how you're engaging the culture
1514
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,000
And your sphere of influence
1515
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,000
What are you doing to make a difference?
1516
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,000
Let us know if you're challenged by what we're saying
1517
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,000
Let us know how we can pray for you
1518
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Because that's an honor to stand with you in prayer
1519
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Absolutely
1520
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,000
And we appreciate your prayers for us
1521
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,000
Because we have put ourselves over the enemy's target
1522
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,000
By stepping up, speaking out
1523
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,000
We're watching our back a lot now
1524
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,000
Head on a swivel, right?
1525
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:46,000
And we upped our security at the church
1526
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,000
When you start addressing cultural issues
1527
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,000
You get the enemy's attention
1528
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,000
You have to pay the price
1529
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,000
So yeah
1530
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,000
So I've got some folks to thank
1531
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:58,000
And one of the ways that you can encourage us
1532
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,000
Besides writing in or letting us know what's going on in your life
1533
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,000
Is if you listen on any podcast 2.0 platform
1534
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,000
I particularly like Fountain the best
1535
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,000
You can actually do boostograms
1536
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,000
You can support us
1537
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,000
It's called Value for Value
1538
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,000
And my dear friend, best friend, Adam Curry
1539
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,000
Developed this along with a group of other folks
1540
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,000
But it's really his brain
1541
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,000
He was the brainchild of it
1542
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:22,000
And what it is
1543
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,000
If you like what you're hearing
1544
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,000
If this is encouraging you, inspiring you, motivating you
1545
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Provoking you even
1546
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Then you can show
1547
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,000
And if you're getting value out of it
1548
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Then you can kindly return that value
1549
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,000
By giving us a boostogram
1550
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,000
Or go onto our website
1551
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,000
We have PayPal opportunity there
1552
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,000
And you can send in and encourage
1553
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:43,000
So it just helps us
1554
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Let's us know you're there
1555
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,000
Let's us know you're listening
1556
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,000
The boostograms are really great
1557
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,000
For Value for Value
1558
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,000
So we'd love to hear from you
1559
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,000
In fact, speaking of boostograms
1560
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:53,000
I got a few here
1561
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,000
So I want to read these off
1562
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,000
I'll start with the highest one
1563
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:01,000
77,777
1564
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000
You probably don't know who this is
1565
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,000
I wonder who
1566
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,000
This would be our executive producer
1567
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,000
Adam, the podfather, Curry
1568
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,000
He says, boosting in celebration
1569
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Of Dame Annette's Mother's Day message
1570
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,000
Oh
1571
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,000
So he just boosted before we even
1572
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,000
Yeah, he did this today
1573
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,000
You crushed it, girl
1574
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,000
And then we have Sir Brian with an I
1575
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:26,000
3,777 sats
1576
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,000
I love Sir Brian
1577
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,000
He's our friend from Austin
1578
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,000
He says, what an excellent discussion
1579
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,000
We'll see him this weekend
1580
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,000
We will?
1581
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,000
At the vow renewal
1582
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Oh yeah, you're right
1583
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,000
He is definitely not going to turn that one down
1584
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,000
We got so much going
1585
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,000
I can't keep it all straight
1586
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,000
He says, what an excellent discussion
1587
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,000
Between Pastor Jimmy and Pastor Brian
1588
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,000
But when are the Mandels going to start
1589
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,000
Doing their own show?
1590
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,000
Nudge, nudge, I'd love to listen
1591
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,000
Hey, that is not completely out of the question
1592
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,000
No, we've got him working too hard
1593
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,000
We've got him doing too much
1594
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,000
He doesn't have time
1595
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,000
I'll drag him in here
1596
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,000
When Annette's not feeling it
1597
00:50:58,000 --> 00:50:59,000
We'll bring him in
1598
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,000
I think once a month is good
1599
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,000
For Brian to come in
1600
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,000
Because I like listening to what he has to say
1601
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,000
Oh gosh, he is so strong
1602
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,000
And he's right there with us on cultural engagement
1603
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,000
He and Nomer's, too, his wife
1604
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,000
They're amazing
1605
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,000
Here's another one
1606
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,000
This is from Pocket Parley, boosted 3000 sats
1607
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,000
Thank you so much
1608
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Always enjoy the show
1609
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,000
But this episode was so good
1610
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,000
That I had no choice
1611
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,000
But to send it to everyone that will listen
1612
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,000
Being bold in the Lord is so freeing
1613
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Way to go, Pocket Parley
1614
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,000
Proud of you
1615
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,000
And do send these out
1616
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,000
I mean, this is not a time to be silent
1617
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,000
This is not a time to withdraw
1618
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,000
It's not a time to be quiet
1619
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,000
It is a time to shout it from the rooftops
1620
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,000
And do not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
1621
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Don't be ashamed of who you are as a child of God
1622
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,000
The government wants to silence us
1623
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,000
And we're not going to
1624
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,000
No way, no way
1625
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,000
Loud and proud
1626
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:58,000
Not arrogant, not boastful, not brazen
1627
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,000
But bold and courageous
1628
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,000
And because we love
1629
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,000
We're telling people the bridge is out
1630
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,000
We're telling Marxist people the bridge is out
1631
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,000
We're telling those who want to make this a socialist country
1632
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,000
The bridge is out
1633
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,000
The bridge is out
1634
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,000
And if they keep going down the road they're going
1635
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,000
They're going to run off the cliff
1636
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,000
And so thank you so much, Pocket Parley
1637
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,000
Also, Katty Kitt boosted 1,000 sats
1638
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,000
She wrote, wow, what a great listen
1639
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Thank you so much
1640
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,000
And thank you, Katty Kitt, for boosting
1641
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,000
And for listening
1642
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,000
And for that encouraging word
1643
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,000
And then we got another boost, 500 sats from Sandy Beaches
1644
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,000
Thank you for your powerful words midweek
1645
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Enjoy listening to encouraging words for today
1646
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Blessings to you and Fred
1647
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,000
And blessings to you, Sandy Beaches
1648
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:45,000
Thanks for listening
1649
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,000
Thanks for being a part
1650
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,000
We also have several folks that are supporting us
1651
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:50,000
On an ongoing basis
1652
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,000
Through our website
1653
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,000
Livingupandadowndworld.com
1654
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,000
And they've done a recurring gift
1655
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,000
And so big thanks
1656
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:58,000
David Wickers won
1657
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,000
There's several
1658
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,000
And I don't have their names right in front of me
1659
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,000
I'm sorry
1660
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,000
But for those of you that are supporting us
1661
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,000
Thank you so much
1662
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,000
It means a ton to us
1663
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:11,000
It just means that it just shows us the value
1664
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:12,000
That you're getting
1665
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,000
And so thank you so much for doing that
1666
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Annette, do you have any final words as we wrap up?
1667
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,000
Randall Black
1668
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,000
Randall Black
1669
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,000
Randall Black, thank you so much
1670
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,000
And again, looking forward to seeing some of our friends
1671
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,000
From Living Up and a Down World, Curry and the Keeper
1672
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,000
Coming up at the wedding
1673
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,000
At the wedding renewal vow
1674
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,000
That's going to be fun
1675
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,000
Super excited about that
1676
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,000
All right, guys, we love you
1677
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:39,000
And we have got to get moving along
1678
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,000
Any last words, Dane, Annette?
1679
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:44,000
I think I've said plenty in the last 24 hours
1680
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,000
Have you talked out?
1681
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,000
I'm talked out
1682
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:47,000
All right, hey, we love you guys
1683
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,000
Have an amazing week on purpose
1684
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,000
Keep living up and a down world
1685
00:53:51,000 --> 00:54:19,000
And we are out of here
1686
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Thank you
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
and now we're going to play
2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Don't get down when you're seeing the worst
3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Because the last will be the first
4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
What a day I'm telling you
5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,000
All things will be new
6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Livin' up in a down world
7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Yeah, we're livin'
8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Yeah, we're livin'
9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Livin' up in a down world
10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
This is Jimmy Internet
11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Great news, somebody is back on the show with us today
12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
And it's not Brian Mandel
13
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
It's not Master Brian
14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,000
It's Chevy
15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Mr. Chevy is back
16
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
When you said that he poked his head out
17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
I know, he's like, get to be on
18
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
I know, so we're doing a, this is sort of a different approach
19
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Different tack, so to speak
20
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Because it's show number 63, want to welcome you to
21
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Livin' up in a down world
22
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
This is Jimmy and Annette Pruitt
23
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Pastor Jimmy and Day Manette as Adam so affectionately calls you
24
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
It's funny
25
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Adam Curry, our dear friend and executive producer
26
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
He will only let me call him that if the sound is good
27
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,000
So hopefully it's good
28
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,000
So we hope it's good
29
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Yeah, he'll let me know
30
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
So we, this is Monday which is our Sabbath day
31
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
But we've been traveling a lot
32
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
We didn't get to do the podcast last week
33
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Because we were literally gone early Monday morning
34
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Right
35
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Through Thursday
36
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
And it was a wall to wall week
37
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Is Mr. Chevy standing up in his chair?
38
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000
He's standing up
39
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
He is scratching my back
40
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Oh, there you go, I bet that feels good
41
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,000
He's good about that
42
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
We're excited to have Mr. Chevy
43
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
And the reason is it's Monday our Sabbath
44
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
And so we knew because we're traveling again tomorrow
45
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
We're heading to Gateway Church up in Southlake
46
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Dallas, Fort Worth area
47
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Got some training things that our production director
48
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
A.K.A. daughter Faith is going to be going through with him
49
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
We couldn't let her go by herself
50
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Because she can't rent a car without it being outrageous
51
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Because she's underage
52
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Exactly, so we're going to be
53
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,000
So darn we have to go
54
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
We're going to be mommy and daddy again this week
55
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
But this is funny
56
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
We're in our pajamas
57
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
I am
58
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,000
I'm not
59
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,000
I'm in my workout gear
60
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000
I am in my pajamas
61
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
We drove from our house
62
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
When Jimmy said we need to go do it now
63
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
I'm like I'm not changing
64
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,000
So I'm in my pajamas
65
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000
I'm in my office
66
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,000
You have a hoodie on
67
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000
We snuck in
68
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000
I have a hoodie on
69
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,000
We snuck in the church
70
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
And we brought Mr. Chevy
71
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000
And brought Mr. Chevy
72
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
And we saw one person and said we're not really here
73
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,000
You don't see us
74
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
We're just going straight to our office to do a podcast
75
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,000
It was hilarious
76
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Yeah, it is
77
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
We had some major, major rain today
78
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
And we came up on
79
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Okay, we were driving
80
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
We live what 16 miles out?
81
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Yes
82
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
We live 16 miles out
83
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
We're driving in
84
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
And we came up on a two-rex
85
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Yeah, one
86
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
One happened probably seconds before I drove up on it
87
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
And this guy in a Lexus SUV, a small one
88
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
He rolled it
89
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Fortunately, other people had already stopped
90
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000
And were helping rendering aid
91
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
So I didn't feel like I needed to stop
92
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
But no, cops can come because they're all
93
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
They're all
94
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
The other wrecks
95
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
So yeah, so a few miles down the road
96
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
We come up on another bad wreck
97
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,000
It was bad
98
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
The one, this guy was out of the car
99
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000
He seemed to be fine
100
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000
He was walking
101
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000
The one that was rolled
102
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Yeah, he was walking
103
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,000
But the other one, we don't know
104
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
We don't know
105
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
We heard it was a van
106
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
It was badly
107
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Demolished
108
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Badly demolished
109
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000
And in a truck
110
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Badly demolished
111
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Yeah, so anyway, just heart went out to that
112
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
But boy, that'll put you on edge
113
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,000
And it did put us on edge
114
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,000
But the thing is, is every time it rains
115
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
And you're traveling on the 87
116
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Which is the road that comes out of our neighborhood
117
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
To get to anywhere
118
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
You know, Fredericksburg, San Antonio, Burnie
119
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,000
There's always wrecks
120
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Always wrecks on that road
121
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Tina's like, I wish y'all didn't live out there anymore
122
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Please move
123
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
But you know, if we take the back roads
124
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Which we ended up turning around and taking a back road
125
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
I think we just should, when it rains
126
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Just automatically take the back road in
127
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000
It's just too dangerous
128
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
And it's no traffic and whatnot
129
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000
So anyway
130
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
So we got here a little unnerved
131
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Yeah, we were a little on edge
132
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
I mean, I almost said, let's just go back home
133
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,000
But you did
134
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
You stopped and I said, no, we're doing this
135
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,000
No, no, we're gonna do it
136
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
So we're glad to be with you
137
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
And sorry we missed last week
138
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
It's just, we're in the very busy travel season
139
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
We've got more trips coming up
140
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000
We got this one this week
141
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Three more
142
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,000
And then we've got
143
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
We're doing the K-Love Awards show
144
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
On the 25th, 26th
145
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Yeah, that's gonna be great
146
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
It's gonna be exciting
147
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000
But we'll be out then
148
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
In fact, Adam, the Podfather Curry
149
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Is actually not podcasting that week
150
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,000
And going with us
151
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,000
This is, okay
152
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Miracles still happen
153
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,000
They still happen
154
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,000
God is still on the throne
155
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,000
You're so funny
156
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Parting the Red Sea
157
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Yes
158
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
That's a big deal for him to take a step back
159
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,000
From his show
160
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000
It's a big deal
161
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
But this is important
162
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
And I think this is good for him
163
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Based on what he's doing in the industry
164
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000
The music industry
165
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
And what he's trying to provide for them
166
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
And getting to see this K-Love Awards
167
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
And all the Christian artists
168
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
That he could be helping along the way
169
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
I think it's just gonna be
170
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Really good information for him
171
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,000
I do too
172
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,000
I think it's educational for him
173
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,000
We'll have a little meetup
174
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000
While we're there with a handful of people
175
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Yes
176
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Which will be cool
177
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Seeing people who are fans of No Agenda
178
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,000
And Currie and the Keeper
179
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,000
And hopefully
180
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Living up in a down world
181
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
And us
182
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Pastor Jimmy DeManette
183
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,000
And Mr. Chevy
184
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
And so, Sir Brian with an I
185
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
I want you to be encouraged
186
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Because you have been brutal on us
187
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Because Mr. Chevy has not been on the show
188
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Well, he's here now
189
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
So he's here now
190
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000
And it was easy
191
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,000
I think bringing him
192
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
It's like, oh wait, we can do this
193
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Because all he wants to do is just sit in our lap
194
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,000
I know
195
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,000
And we can work
196
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,000
He's in your chair right now
197
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000
So yeah, we're good to go
198
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Okay, so then we have one more trip
199
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Where we're going
200
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Is that the Colorado trip?
201
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,000
The Colorado trip
202
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
We were blessed with a
203
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000
A week
204
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
A week at a timeshare in close to Vail
205
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
I keep saying Aspen
206
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
But it's close to Vail
207
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
It's about 15 minutes from Vail, Colorado
208
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
That is a rest trip
209
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Yes, finally
210
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
All these others are working trips
211
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
I think we'll be fine
212
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000
To either record the podcast earlier
213
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,000
And have it ready
214
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Or bring our equipment
215
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,000
I'll think about that
216
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Because we're TSA approved
217
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,000
So we don't have to
218
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000
That's true
219
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,000
That makes it a lot easier
220
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000
To get through
221
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,000
So anyway, we might do that
222
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Because we might have some things to say
223
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
While we're there
224
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Yeah, that's true
225
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Because what are we going to do for a week?
226
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,000
I mean really
227
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000
I can bring the small mic stands
228
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Okay, you got me thinking already
229
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Yeah
230
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Okay, all right
231
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
We may do that
232
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
I mean I think it's going to be great
233
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Because I've never been to this part of Colorado
234
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Yeah
235
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
So I'm excited to see the beauty
236
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
And I heard there could actually still be snow
237
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
And I'm like, really?
238
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Wow
239
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Someone said that to me
240
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Wow
241
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,000
You might actually see snow
242
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,000
It's already
243
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,000
And you know I've said this
244
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000
On the podcast before
245
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
I don't go to Colorado and not see snow
246
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,000
So all right, Lord
247
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,000
You're listening to me
248
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,000
I need some snow
249
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,000
I don't have to play it
250
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,000
It could happen
251
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,000
I mean we're coming at the end
252
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Of an 11-year warming cycle
253
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Which is typical
254
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
And we're moving into a cooling cycle
255
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
All the climate activists are going to lose their mind
256
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Because the temps are going to drop
257
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,000
That's a joke anyway
258
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,000
So they're going to be freaking out
259
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,000
It's a scam
260
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000
It's a scam
261
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,000
It's a total global scam
262
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,000
It's a poli-
263
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,000
Okay, I better not
264
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Okay, now you're going to get political
265
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,000
I'm about to run down a road here
266
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Yeah
267
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,000
I mean you need to just get on
268
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
No agenda with Adam
269
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
I think that's your new shows
270
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,000
Man
271
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,000
If something happens to John
272
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Now it's Jimmy and Adam
273
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,000
I can just see it now
274
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Jimmy D
275
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
He'll be like
276
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,000
That'll be the only way you'll listen to me
277
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,000
I'm like
278
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,000
But you're three hours
279
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
It is long
280
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
It is long
281
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,000
But it's awesome
282
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,000
It's so full of information
283
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,000
I'm going to ask him
284
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,000
This is what I'm going to ask him to do
285
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
I want you to stay at the church
286
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
All pre-services and listen to us
287
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
And you tell me how you can do it
288
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Yeah
289
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000
I think he can
290
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,000
He can't do it
291
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Because he has a show
292
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Yeah, because of no agenda
293
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000
So, yeah
294
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000
By the way, y'all should check out
295
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,000
No Agenda
296
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
That is total media deconstruction
297
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Which they need to be deconstructed
298
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
On an ongoing basis
299
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000
And there's so much low-hanging fruit
300
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Because the world is losing its mind right now
301
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
So really three and a half hours
302
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Isn't a stretch for those guys
303
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Think about it
304
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
It's given them a show
305
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,000
No doubt
306
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
If the media wasn't corrupt
307
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
And just totally off on all of their reporting
308
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
There would be no reason for no agenda
309
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
So no agenda is happening
310
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Because the media is corrupt
311
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000
They just have to turn to
312
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Currying the Keeper
313
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,000
And turn it into a three-hour show
314
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Right
315
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
No, she would never do that
316
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,000
And that's another great show
317
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,000
We always want to recommend
318
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Currying the Keeper
319
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
We love Adam and Tina
320
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Some of our dearest friends on the planet
321
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Their wedding renewal
322
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,000
This is a big deal
323
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Vowel service this Sunday night
324
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000
That we get to be a part of
325
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000
I'm so excited about it
326
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Because of their newfound faith
327
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000
And it happening with Bridge Church
328
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
And so I think it's just going to be beautiful
329
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Yeah, we've got folks coming from all over the place
330
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000
That are going to come celebrate with them
331
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
They thought maybe 15 people would be there
332
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
And they invited all these people from all these other states
333
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,000
And they're all going
334
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,000
We're coming
335
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Yeah, we're showing up
336
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
It's Adam Curry and Tina Curry
337
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,000
It's going to be cool
338
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Oh my goodness
339
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
A Currying the Keeper wedding
340
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Renewal
341
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
I told her you have to give them something
342
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
A reason why they're there
343
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
I mean you've got to go all out
344
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
I mean just spend a little bit of money
345
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000
But treat them with the best
346
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Because they deserve it
347
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
For spending their own money to come out there
348
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
To come and celebrate
349
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
It's going to be beautiful
350
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
What she's doing is top notch
351
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
It's only what Tina and Adam would do
352
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,000
And I'm excited too
353
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Because I get to officiate
354
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000
I get to actually lead
355
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
And she told me if it was my real wedding
356
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
You would be my maid of honor
357
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,000
And I wanted to say, well I can still stand up there with you
358
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000
You're funny
359
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,000
You're funny
360
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,000
I've never been a maid of honor
361
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,000
In my whole life
362
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Well
363
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,000
I know
364
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
It's sad
365
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
No, you don't understand
366
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
I'm sorry
367
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,000
That's something that I've missed out on
368
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Is this triggering you?
369
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Maybe I was a maid of honor at my sister's wedding
370
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,000
That was in the 70s
371
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
I was 10 years old
372
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
I wouldn't even know
373
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Wow
374
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,000
I know
375
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000
It is triggering me
376
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,000
So let's go back to them
377
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Okay
378
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
I'm just super excited for them
379
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,000
It's going to be beautiful
380
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000
And what I love is that now that they are totally in Christ
381
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
And walking with Jesus
382
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000
As Adam says, I'm a Jesus freak
383
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
I mean just call it what it is
384
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,000
I'm a Jesus freak
385
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
And I love that
386
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
And God's really using both of them
387
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
And what their story, their testimony
388
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Is so powerful and compelling
389
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
But what's happening is
390
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Or what happened is they got married
391
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
And I think they did a rent a priest or something
392
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Kind of thing
393
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Rent or an officiant
394
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
They didn't have a relationship with God
395
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000
So it was just a contractual marriage
396
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
And now this is going to be covenantal
397
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
So such a beautiful thing
398
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
And I thought it was just a great idea
399
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
And so I'm just thrilled and honored
400
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
That we get to be a part of it
401
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
And celebrate with our dear friends
402
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
What's happening in their lives
403
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
So congratulations you two
404
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000
We love you and are excited and honored
405
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000
To walk with you through this journey
406
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Yes, absolutely
407
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
So show number 63
408
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
I mean we're rolling right along
409
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
We've had a few breaks here and there
410
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Our life is insane right now
411
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
And we got invited to go on another trip
412
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
What?
413
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Well yesterday with Rick Green
414
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Oh, yeah
415
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Patriot Academy
416
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
And when I looked at the schedule
417
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
I'm like okay well it's in between this trip and this trip
418
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,000
But the first night is the night that you're doing
419
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,000
A presentation with Liberty Moms
420
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,000
So that's how
421
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
I'm speaking at an event
422
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
So I'm going to have to decline
423
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000
But we'll have to take him up on the next trip
424
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Yeah, Liberty Moms
425
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,000
These ladies are amazing
426
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,000
They're just going into their school system
427
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,000
And they're not fighting the school system
428
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,000
They're fighting some of the forces behind
429
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
What's driving putting porn books
430
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,000
In the libraries
431
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,000
In the libraries
432
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
In elementary, middle school, high school
433
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
And they've had some success
434
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
And now they've been stalled out
435
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
And so we're just there to support and encourage them
436
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000
It's happening all over this
437
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Everywhere
438
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Even in Little Low Fredericksburg, Texas
439
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Yeah, where you would think it wouldn't happen
440
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,000
It's unbelievable
441
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
There's just a lot of evil out there
442
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000
There's a lot of ignorance too
443
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Because most people don't believe it
444
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Or they don't
445
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,000
And then when you show them excerpts
446
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Of the actual books that kids are checking out
447
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
And we know they're checking them out
448
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Because you can see they're checking out
449
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Yes
450
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,000
It's pornography
451
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000
But the thing is
452
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Straight up pornography
453
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Even the school board
454
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,000
When someone gets up to read off what's in the books
455
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,000
They're like stop, stop
456
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,000
It's so offensive
457
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,000
I'm like wait
458
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,000
You don't want to hear it
459
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Right
460
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Because it's offensive
461
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,000
But it's okay for a 6 year old
462
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,000
An 8 year old
463
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,000
A 12 year old
464
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,000
A 15 year old
465
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,000
To read that
466
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,000
It's okay
467
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000
And what is their thinking
468
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Well they have the opportunity anyway
469
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Because of the internet
470
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
I know
471
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,000
But not in school
472
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,000
This is education
473
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
We're supposed to be educated
474
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Not indoctrination
475
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Yes
476
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Not grooming
477
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Sexually grooming kids
478
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,000
That's what public schools
479
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
I thought it was reading, writing, arithmetic
480
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,000
What happened to that?
481
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,000
I know
482
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Public school has turned into
483
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000
And there are so many good public school principals
484
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,000
I was going to say
485
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000
There are great teachers
486
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,000
People working in that field
487
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000
And I feel bad for them
488
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
And their hands are cuffed
489
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Yes
490
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000
They are trapped into a system that's broken
491
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,000
It's not their fault
492
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,000
And it's their livelihood
493
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000
That's what breaks my heart
494
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
We need to pray for them
495
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
We have Scott in our church
496
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,000
He's a principal
497
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
He's of the middle school
498
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Middle school
499
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Great guy
500
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
And we have a lot of teachers
501
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
We have great teachers
502
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000
The Sivingtons
503
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,000
And they do the best they can
504
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Houston
505
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Yes
506
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,000
To navigate it
507
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
There are standards that they have to teach
508
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
And I feel bad for them
509
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
We have one who will go unnamed
510
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Who came to us and just said
511
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
I can't do it anymore
512
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,000
I'm done
513
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,000
I'm done
514
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
I've got to quit
515
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,000
I've got to walk away from it
516
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,000
And not everybody has that opportunity
517
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,000
He wanted to be in it
518
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
To help people
519
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,000
And to really encourage the next generation
520
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,000
But he's so trapped in his particular field
521
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Yes
522
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,000
And area
523
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Don't need to say what it is
524
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000
No
525
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Don't want to identify him
526
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,000
But he's caught in it
527
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000
He's got nothing he can do
528
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
So he's like I've got to get out
529
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
I've got to get out
530
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
I can't with a good conscience do that
531
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,000
So anyway
532
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Our heart breaks for that
533
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
So this Moms for Liberty
534
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000
These ladies are their mama bears
535
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,000
And they're all over the United States
536
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,000
And they get vilified
537
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
They get smashed in the press
538
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
The liberal left agenda
539
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Marxist agenda slams them constantly
540
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000
And they just get put down in the paper
541
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,000
And there's so much propaganda
542
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
And they're lying about things they're saying
543
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Oh they're lying about them
544
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,000
It's horrible
545
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,000
And they're harassing them
546
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Literally calling, hanging
547
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
I mean just silly like prank stuff
548
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,000
So anyway
549
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000
I said I would be glad
550
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Honored to open in prayer
551
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
And say something to encourage
552
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
And so we've got that event
553
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
That we'll be part of
554
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
I'm looking forward to many many more opportunities
555
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
To speak about our liberties
556
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,000
That are eroding
557
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000
And how we get God back into this thing
558
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Because we've got to get God back in the culture
559
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,000
I mean we've got to get back to our original documents
560
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
America was founded on the principles of the Bible
561
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Absolutely
562
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,000
And we've walked away from it
563
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000
And our current administration wants to take God
564
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Out of every area of life
565
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Yeah, speaking of
566
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Listen to this
567
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000
This is from a little document
568
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Called the Declaration of Independence
569
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
You may have heard of it
570
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,000
I don't know
571
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Most people haven't these days
572
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Especially the next generation
573
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Because they're not being taught
574
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,000
They're taking it out
575
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Yeah
576
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Revisionist history is destroying our foundations
577
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,000
But listen to this
578
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Declaration of Independence
579
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
Drafted in 1776
580
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Ratified I believe in 89
581
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
So it was a few years later
582
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,000
We hold these truths to be self-evident
583
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
That all men are created equal
584
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
That they are endowed by their creator
585
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Let me repeat that
586
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Yeah
587
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,000
By their creator
588
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,000
With certain unalienable rights
589
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
That among these are life, liberty
590
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
And the pursuit of happiness
591
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
That to secure these rights
592
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Governments are instituted among men
593
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Deriving their just powers from
594
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Let me just say this again
595
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Who this is from
596
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Not from ruling oligarchy
597
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Or ruling dictators or emperors
598
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,000
We are a constitutional republic
599
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Not a democracy
600
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,000
We're moving towards socialism
601
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,000
Super fast
602
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Super fast
603
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,000
And we're trying to put the brakes on that
604
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
Deriving their just powers from
605
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
The consent of the governed
606
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Government
607
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,000
No, not the government
608
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,000
I mean the governed
609
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
The consent of the governed
610
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,000
That's us
611
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000
We the people
612
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,000
We the people
613
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Yes
614
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,000
And we are
615
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,000
I mean
616
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
We are the people who have considered the ignorant masses
617
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,000
They've taken us out of it
618
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,000
They've taken God out of it
619
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000
They have put themselves
620
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,000
It's an anarchy
621
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,000
It is
622
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Well, no
623
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Well, no
624
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,000
It is
625
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,000
They're trying to create anarchy
626
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Yeah, they're creating division and chaos
627
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Yes
628
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,000
They're creating it
629
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000
But they want to be the leaders
630
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
And dominate everything
631
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
And lead all of us deplorables
632
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,000
And they're dumbing us all down
633
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Stupid people
634
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
They're dumbing us down
635
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000
In education
636
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
And taking out everything
637
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000
That we grew up in history knowing
638
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000
So the kids of today don't know anything
639
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Oh, yeah
640
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,000
And so they only know what they're being taught
641
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Literally editing history
642
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Editing history so that the founding fathers
643
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Who were Christians and pastors
644
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,000
And deacons and elders in their churches
645
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Are being edited out
646
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Their statements, their quotes
647
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Are being withheld and dumbed down
648
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000
So that the next generation doesn't even know
649
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000
We were founded on biblical principles
650
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Unless their parents are teaching them
651
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
And the sad thing is their parents don't know either
652
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,000
They don't know
653
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
So we've got to get back to our original documents
654
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,000
This generation
655
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Yeah
656
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Earlier generations
657
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000
But I wouldn't know to teach my daughter that
658
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
I would think that the school's teaching her
659
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
I had, and this is what happened
660
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,000
COVID happened
661
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000
And then school was having to be
662
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Taught
663
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Online
664
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,000
At home
665
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Parents having to supervise
666
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Parents are seeing
667
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Because they're at home because they can't go to work
668
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Because of what the government did with this pandemic
669
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
And so they're sitting there with their children
670
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,000
They're having to
671
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
The children's asking questions
672
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Because they don't know how to
673
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,000
You know
674
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Or mom's looking over Junior's
675
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Shoulder
676
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
And seeing this going what?
677
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Yeah
678
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,000
And now
679
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,000
It was a wake up call
680
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
People are waking up
681
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,000
But not enough people
682
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Not enough and it's too slow
683
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
And so if you're listening to this podcast
684
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,000
We need you to join
685
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Jump in
686
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
I mean we need people to be informed
687
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,000
We need people
688
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
I want you to do something
689
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
I want you to go to PatriotAcademy.com
690
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000

Just Google Patriot Academy
693
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Rick Green
694
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,000
They have lots of information
695
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000
They are biblically based
696
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000
Rick, Kara, and his family
697
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Attend our church
698
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
They've moved over here from Dripping Springs
699
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
To set up their academy here
700
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,000
They're building it all out right
701
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
It's an amazing campus
702
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
They teach and equip the next generation
703
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
How to go into their schools
704
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
They take that gap year
705
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
And they go in and they're equipped
706
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,000
To answer questions
707
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
And they're equipped to call out
708
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Their history teachers who are faking it
709
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
And teaching lies and propaganda
710
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
And they're equipped to deal with that
711
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
So they teach them and ground them
712
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,000
In the Word of God
713
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
And in our original documents
714
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
And so it's an amazing organization
715
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,000
They have great
716
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
And Rick has a great podcast
717
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Called The Tavern
718
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
We're actually taking a course
719
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Adding another thing to our plate
720
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Tonight at 7 o'clock
721
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
We start our first class
722
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Biblical Citizenship
723
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,000
With Kurt Cameron
724
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Yes, Kurt Cameron will be the speaker tonight
725
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000
So that's going to be great
726
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,000
And then we're going to host it here
727
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
In our church as well
728
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
So anyway, that's another one
729
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Another one is wall builders
730
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Just look up wall builders
731
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,000
David and Tim Barton
732
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Those guys have miles of information
733
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000
It's unbelievable how much volumes of information
734
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
But we just need to get back to our basic stuff
735
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000
Read the Declaration of Independence
736
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Just read that
737
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Read the Bill of Rights
738
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Check it out
739
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,000
And I'm re-educating myself
740
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
So much of this I had in school
741
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
In high school and in Poli Sci
742
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000
As an Academy of Freedom student
743
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,000
At Howard Payne University
744
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,000
And a Bible major
745
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,000
So I did both Poli Sci and Bible
746
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
And I'm re-acquainting myself
747
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,000
With our original documents
748
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Okay, I'm going to land the plane
749
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Because I could really keep going on this
750
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,000
You sure could
751
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,000
But part of the reason is we spent last week where?
752
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,000
We spent our last week in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
753
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:15,000
For four days of a fire hose just being poured out on us
754
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
With this information of what's happening
755
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000
In the government right now
756
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,000
What's happening in America
757
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,000
And helping us understand our constitutional rights
758
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
What is actually said and what is actually being done
759
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Which is going against everything that laws were made for
760
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
A literal Marxist agenda that's been happening for decades
761
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000
This isn't anything new
762
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
But what's happening is coming to fruition now
763
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
It started many decades ago
764
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,000
And now it is culminated into just total chaos
765
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Things like anti-Semitism, pro-Hamas
766
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Protests on over 200 schools
767
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000
I say over 50 schools
768
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,000
But I think it's actually accelerated from there
769
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,000
And all this is fueled by organizations
770
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,000
That connect back to George Soros, Rockefeller, all these guys
771
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Obama
772
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
And yeah, just say it
773
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Let's just say it
774
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,000
All these go back to and tie into a full on
775
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Declared Marxist agenda
776
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Not just something
777
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,000
And nothing is hidden here
778
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
This is all very much in the open
779
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Sorry, I'm making noise
780
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Antifa
781
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:35,000
All these organizations are actually supplying these kids with signs
782
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,000
And it's just unbelievable
783
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,000
And they don't even know what they're doing
784
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,000
They're just being told
785
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,000
They don't even know
786
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,000
You need to get in on this
787
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
And they're going, okay, just give me a sign
788
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
And then a reporter asks them
789
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,000
What's this about?
790
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,000
And they're like, I don't know
791
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
I don't know why I'm here
792
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,000
But boy, is this fun
793
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Man, I'm telling you
794
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,000
What's happening too is finally people are beginning to crack down on these
795
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
And they're telling these kids, you're done
796
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Your education is useless now
797
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Because you will not be hired
798
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,000
I'm very glad about that
799
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000
You might go over to the east and get a job somewhere in Iran
800
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
But you're not getting a job here
801
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,000
And I think it's good
802
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:18,000
They're actually going to crack down on these crack pots basically
803
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
They don't even know what they're doing
804
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Freedom of speech isn't so that you can be belligerent and violent and hateful towards people
805
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
That's not the point of freedom of speech
806
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,000
No
807
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:37,000
If that freedom of speech is damaging and hurting and literally creating violence
808
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
And creating dissension and division
809
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000
That has to stop
810
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000
That's not what free speech is for
811
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
That's not the point of it
812
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000
We've pushed the envelopes on these things
813
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,000
We've overinterpreted many of them
814
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,000
And gone way beyond the scope of what our founding fathers meant
815
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Anyway, I'm glad some schools are reeling that back in
816
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,000
Some of them are just total sellouts anyway
817
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
They're just a part of the system
818
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Moving right along
819
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,000
What else is going on?
820
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,000
We were in Milwaukee
821
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
By the way, beautiful city
822
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,000
I did not realize it
823
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,000
There were some beautiful areas we were in
824
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,000
And the weather was rainy
825
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000
It's rainy everywhere right now
826
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Raining here
827
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,000
So Milwaukee last week, we'll be in Dallas, Fort Worth this week
828
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Just for a few days
829
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,000
It'll be a real quick trip
830
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
And get to connect with some people that we love and care about
831
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,000
In our church world
832
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
And then we're back and then...
833
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Then Colorado, like I said
834
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,000
That's it
835
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,000
No, Nashville
836
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Nashville
837
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Yeah
838
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Yeah, so anyway
839
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,000
So we had a really beautiful, beautiful Mother's Day yesterday
840
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Because this is Monday
841
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,000
And we had this brainstorm in our staff meeting about two weeks ago
842
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,000
That I wasn't included in
843
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
It's kind of a mutiny
844
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
You might call it a loving, a benevolent mutiny
845
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,000
You think so
846
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,000
If there is such a thing
847
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Benevolent manipulation
848
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,000
It was a benevolent mutiny
849
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Where one of our staff said,
850
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Pastor Annette
851
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,000
No
852
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Dame Annette
853
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,000
First off, they asked,
854
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Pastor Jimmy, what are you going to preach on this Sunday?
855
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Because we always talk about what you're going to preach on
856
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
And I think it was you that said
857
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Was it you who said,
858
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,000
No, I think Annette should preach
859
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,000
That was some way said,
860
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Oh, by the way, two weeks, week and a half, Mother's Day is coming up
861
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,000
And that's when I said,
862
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Oh, well Annette should preach
863
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,000
And when I said it, the whole staff jumped in
864
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
And they were like, yes, yes
865
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,000
They mutinied on me
866
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,000
They totally mutinied
867
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,000
You were so outvoted
868
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,000
7 to 1
869
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Okay
870
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,000
And so
871
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,000
There's a good reason for that
872
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Well, there's two reasons
873
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,000
One
874
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,000
Tell us
875
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Well, there's two reasons
876
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000
One, it's Mother's Day
877
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Nobody ever feels like they're a good enough mother to preach on Mother's Day for sure
878
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:56,000
But also, I haven't been in the pulpit in years and years and years and years
879
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
And so that just gave me a little pause
880
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000
But thirdly, let's just say there's three things, not just two
881
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,000
But thirdly, I take it very seriously
882
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:13,000
The weight of preaching the Word of God and dividing His Word out to people
883
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000
That's a serious thing
884
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,000
So just to be caught off guard like that was
885
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
It was not fair
886
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,000
It was not fair to me
887
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,000
But you know what?
888
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,000
You handled it with grace and you said, you know what?
889
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,000
I'll think about it
890
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,000
I'll think about it
891
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
I'll let you know
892
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
When you said you'll think about it, you were done
893
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,000
Because everybody was all over it
894
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,000
I was like, oh Lord
895
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
And so then the next day
896
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
I was in my devotions
897
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
I was doing a you version devotion
898
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
And it came upon this scripture
899
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000
And it just jumped off the page
900
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,000
And I felt like it was God saying
901
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,000
You can do this
902
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
But you're not going to do it in your own strength
903
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,000
You're going to do it in mine
904
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Because you're weak
905
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,000
Because you're weak
906
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
And it was
907
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,000
I was like, I can't do this
908
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,000
I'm just too
909
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
And God said, no, you're going to do it in my strength
910
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
And it was the scripture of the day
911
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,000
And I just began to read that passage
912
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,000
You always look at the context of the passage
913
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,000
And it was a passage that Paul was talking about too
914
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,000
To the church, I think in Rome
915
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
And so I was like, okay
916
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,000
I can do this
917
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
So I called Tina and I said, I'm going to do this
918
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,000
And she was like, really?
919
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,000
So you're going to preach on that?
920
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,000
I'm like, I don't know
921
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
I don't know if this is just for me
922
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Or if I'm supposed to preach on this
923
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,000
I really don't know
924
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,000
But it's Mother's Day
925
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
How do you bring mother into that?
926
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,000
And so God totally laid it all out
927
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
While we were in Milwaukee
928
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,000
And wrote my sermon Saturday
929
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,000
No, Friday
930
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,000
I wrote it Friday morning
931
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Spent all day in the kitchen just writing
932
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
And the Lord just given me all these scriptures
933
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,000
And just things that I was supposed to say
934
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:51,000
And I felt extremely confident that this was the word of the Lord
935
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
And I did something I've never done
936
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000
You know, we talk a lot about our lives
937
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Especially on this podcast
938
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Everybody knows all about my life
939
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
But I never shared about my mother
940
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:08,000
And what the transformation in her life
941
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Before Christ and after
942
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
That literally changed the trajectory of all of our lives
943
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Especially my father who came to know Christ
944
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Basically within a couple of weeks of him dying
945
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,000
And it was because of the seeds my mother planted
946
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
And myself and my sister I believe
947
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,000
But I was able to use the message
948
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
And talk about her being sold out 24-7
949
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,000
And how we need to walk in Lordship
950
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:41,000
And I said the best gift a mother can give their family
951
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Is to really walk in 24-7 Lordship
952
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Where you're giving everything
953
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
And what was the question I posed
954
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Before, during, and after my sermon?
955
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Do you remember?
956
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,000
I do
957
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000
I wrote it down because it was so powerful
958
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,000
What part of your life is Jesus not the Lord over?
959
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,000
And that was the whole premise of my message
960
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,000
And I said it over and over and over
961
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:12,000
So for our listeners, what part of your life is Jesus not the Lord over?
962
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Drop the mic
963
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Even as we were driving in and praying
964
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:23,000
You said there is an area that I think we need to give to the Lord
965
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,000
And we talked about it, I'm not going to talk about it
966
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,000
It's personal but it's not sinful
967
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,000
It's not anything
968
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
It's just one little area
969
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
And I'm like you know what?
970
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,000
I love that even preaching that and studying it
971
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
The Lord showed us something
972
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,000
I think he's always going to show us something
973
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Where are you going?
974
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,000
You're leaving
975
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000
You're what?
976
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Okay
977
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:55,000
And so I feel like this is what I love about the Word of God
978
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Is that we're always learning
979
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,000
And we should, okay let me put it this way
980
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,000
We should always be learning and growing
981
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,000
And when you preach a message, if it's not for you first
982
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
I don't even know if you should preach it
983
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
You know what I'm saying?
984
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Either you preach it because you're learning it or you have learned it
985
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Right
986
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Do you know what I'm saying?
987
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,000
So I felt so strongly about this one
988
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,000
And so I preached three services
989
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Okay now I get it
990
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
And I had high heels on
991
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
Okay you and Brian don't wear high heels
992
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,000
I had like four inch high heels on
993
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Don't try to diminish our suffering
994
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,000
We do it every weekend
995
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,000
I know
996
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
I did sit down some during worship just to preserve my feet
997
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,000
I actually didn't get really really tired until the very end
998
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,000
But it was amazing
999
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000
I had a great time
1000
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,000
But this is what I kept telling people
1001
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,000
I don't want this to just be a good message
1002
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Oh we heard a good message
1003
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Or it was okay, it was an okay message
1004
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,000
I want it to be convicting
1005
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,000
To me if a church, if you walk out and you just say that was good
1006
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,000
You didn't learn anything, you're not going to apply anything
1007
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000
It's just a message, it's just nothing, it's just talk
1008
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,000
But a message should be convicting
1009
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Can I give you an example of that?
1010
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Yes
1011
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Let you rest for a sec
1012
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Okay
1013
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
So we were in Milwaukee
1014
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Yes
1015
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,000
They do a presentation
1016
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Yes
1017
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
One hour of drinking from a fire hose
1018
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Showing how Marxism has crept into our schools
1019
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Starting back in the early 1900s
1020
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Back with Rockefeller and all the funding to dumb people down for the factory lines
1021
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,000
They wanted to create good factory workers
1022
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:50,000
So they shaped education to basically teach them not to be critical, independent thinkers
1023
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Because they needed to be able to be subservient and obedient
1024
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,000
And so that started a whole new kind of education
1025
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Just beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic
1026
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,000
We drink from the fire hose
1027
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:10,000
We hear books and lists of statistics of how bad things are right now in our schools
1028
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
And in our general world
1029
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:17,000
And the host gets up and goes, well how did everybody enjoy that?
1030
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,000
And I'm sitting here going, I didn't enjoy that at all
1031
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000
I'm thinking, I need to do something about this
1032
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000
What is my role?
1033
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:30,000
What am I supposed to do with this hard information I just heard?
1034
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:35,000
And so I thought to myself, that was the wrong question to ask
1035
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,000
And I went up to the presenter
1036
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Because he ended up standing right over where we are
1037
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,000
And you said that to him
1038
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,000
And I walked over to him and I said, thank you so much for sharing
1039
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:48,000
And I said, Paul, who was the host, I said, Paul asked the wrong question
1040
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,000
He goes, what do you mean?
1041
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
I said, he asked, how did you all enjoy that?
1042
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000
And I said, I'll let you know in a week or two after I've processed this
1043
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
He said, I get what you're saying
1044
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
He understood what I meant
1045
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:04,000
But it should be, when truth is presented
1046
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:09,000
It should cross cut anything in our lives that is not under the Lordship of Christ
1047
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Right
1048
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
And we all have something
1049
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Some things
1050
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Yes, we all have many things
1051
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Some things God is working on with us
1052
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000
And it's not always big and epic
1053
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:26,000
It's typically little nuanced things, little habits you fall into
1054
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,000
It could be gossip, it could be negative talk, it could be coarse talking
1055
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
It could be cussing, it could be
1056
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Gosh, I mean I'm thinking little things
1057
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,000
I know, it could be a thousand things
1058
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,000
It's not these big things
1059
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Right, nuanced things
1060
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000
And so that's what I was hoping
1061
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,000
And so of all the
1062
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,000
I've gotten so many emails and texts from preaching
1063
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,000
And I appreciate them so much
1064
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,000
But the ones that meant more to me, I don't want to say more
1065
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Because they all meant something, they all did
1066
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:03,000
But the ones that I took notice of were the ones that said
1067
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,000
You caused me to think
1068
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,000
There you go
1069
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,000
That's what every preacher, every speaker
1070
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,000
That's our goal, that's our objective
1071
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,000
When we're speaking, we're preaching, we're teaching, whatever
1072
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,000
School teacher, we've provoked people to think
1073
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
And that's a conviction
1074
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,000
That's a, oh
1075
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,000
That's something the Holy Spirit can work with
1076
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,000
When you have to think about something
1077
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Even if it's provocative
1078
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,000
I'm not intentionally provocative, but truth cuts
1079
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
And when you bring the truth
1080
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
And you do it because you love people
1081
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
The Bible says that we're to speak the truth in love
1082
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,000
That's a primary preposition, the word in
1083
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,000
And it literally means because, by or with
1084
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000
So we speak the truth because we love
1085
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Not just in love
1086
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
If you just keep it in that place
1087
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaking the truth in love, that's like
1088
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Oh, you need to dumb it down
1089
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Because it's not loving to say something that causes
1090
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Consternation in somebody
1091
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
That causes disruption
1092
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,000
And that's not true
1093
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
No, no, if it makes them uncomfortable
1094
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
That's not, that can't be love
1095
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
No, we do it because we love them
1096
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000
If the bridge is out, I have responsibility because I love you
1097
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,000
To warn you, to be a watchman on the wall
1098
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,000
To be Paul Revere who rode through
1099
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,000
And let them know the British are coming
1100
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,000
It's that, you've got to be that one who's sounding the alarm
1101
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
And that's what truth does
1102
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,000
It sounds an alarm against sin
1103
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,000
And against rebellion
1104
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000
And against when we're going against God
1105
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,000
And I'm not talking political
1106
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,000
I'm not talking government
1107
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000
I'm talking about you being a self-governor
1108
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Of your own soul
1109
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Right, right
1110
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000
And one of the things
1111
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Obviously, the title of my message was
1112
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Is Jesus your Sunday habit?
1113
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,000
No, you left out a word
1114
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Is Jesus just your Sunday habit?
1115
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Just your Sunday habit
1116
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Which means do you only hear about him, think about him
1117
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,000
See him on Sunday morning
1118
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,000
But then you don't think, see, hear about him during the week
1119
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
And we used an illustration
1120
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,000
I say week because you and I talked about it
1121
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
About a former employee
1122
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Who worked with our youth
1123
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,000
As a volunteer
1124
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
But she was an employee
1125
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000
And she made this statement
1126
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
In one of our staff meetings
1127
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,000
That she separates her Christian life from her personal life
1128
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,000
And I'm just going...
1129
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Notice the word former employee?
1130
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Yes
1131
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,000
She didn't last long
1132
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000
No, but the sad thing is...
1133
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Say again what she said
1134
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Okay, she separates her Christian life from her personal life
1135
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Okay, this bothers me because how often
1136
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
And she would tell the children that
1137
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Youth
1138
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Youth
1139
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000
How often did she tell them that?
1140
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000
How much of that did they hear
1141
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000
And how much are they doing because of what she said?
1142
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000
How much damage did she do?
1143
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Oh my gosh, there are scriptures about people
1144
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,000
That lead children away from the Lord
1145
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Like a millstone tire on your neck thrown into the ocean
1146
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
And I'm just like what?
1147
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,000
That is antithetical to the gospel
1148
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,000
But what happens is then they see their parents doing the same thing
1149
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,000
They see their parents live one way, talk another way
1150
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,000
Which is something I've seen in my life
1151
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
In a former life
1152
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,000
And so I'm just...I was so appalled
1153
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,000
To remember that she did that
1154
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
And it made me think
1155
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,000
There are so many people out there
1156
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,000
That have separated their lives
1157
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,000
And you're either a Christian, you're all in Christian
1158
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Or you're not a Christian at all to me
1159
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000
You cannot have it both ways
1160
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
You just cannot have it
1161
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,000
Even the Bible talks about you can't live in the world
1162
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,000
And be spiritual
1163
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
You just can't
1164
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000
We're in the world but we're not of the world
1165
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,000
And so it's...I spoke this message
1166
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000
And I highlighted my mother a lot
1167
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Because she was the one who really impacted my life
1168
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:09,000
I got to see the difference in her
1169
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Before she was a Christian and after she was a Christian
1170
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,000
The transformation was just unbelievable
1171
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
She still had her quirks
1172
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,000
She got into legalism and all that
1173
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,000
But that doesn't matter
1174
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
It's what I saw before and after
1175
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
I was talking to Faith about it today
1176
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
And she said, yeah I didn't see Mammal like that
1177
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
I said, but you didn't see her before
1178
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,000
So you have no idea
1179
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
You don't know the contrast
1180
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000
And she said, yeah you're right
1181
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,000
And Pawpaw died before I was born
1182
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,000
I said yes
1183
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000
And that was what she had to deal with
1184
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,000
With my father for 50 years
1185
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,000
She overcame the fear that was happening in our home
1186
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Because of what Christ did for her
1187
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,000
And she lived for Christ
1188
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,000
She didn't live for what was going on at home
1189
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,000
She didn't allow that fear of my dad
1190
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:02,000
Constantly bringing curses against us
1191
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,000
And physical attacks against my mom
1192
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
She didn't live with that
1193
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,000
She allowed God to take over her life
1194
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
And give her peace in the midst of that
1195
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
She just began to lock her own door
1196
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Because dad moved into another bedroom
1197
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:21,000
I mean she just learned how to live with God
1198
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,000
100% of the day 24-7
1199
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
So to me she was Mammal
1200
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,000
And Mammal was sold out to Jesus
1201
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Mammal, which is funny because she was my mom
1202
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Not my grandmother
1203
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
But she could have been because she was
1204
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,000
She was older when they had you
1205
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
We were older than her when we had faith
1206
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,000
But we're a little bit more...
1207
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000
I don't know
1208
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Are we cooler?
1209
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
I almost said progressive, but I don't like that word
1210
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
That's a bad word right now
1211
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000
We're just young
1212
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,000
We're young minded
1213
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,000
Young minded, there we go
1214
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,000
And able bodied
1215
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,000
Yes, but she lived for the Lord
1216
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Everything she did was for the Lord
1217
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,000
She did
1218
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,000
I mean she was
1219
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Everything
1220
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Everything
1221
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,000
She served her church
1222
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,000
She was revered in her church
1223
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,000
Because she started ministries
1224
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000
She ministered to individuals
1225
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,000
She prayed with people
1226
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Hundreds of people came to Christ because of my mother
1227
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Led people to Jesus
1228
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,000
I mean she really was
1229
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,000
And she was very quirky
1230
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,000
And it's easy with people
1231
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,000
Especially family
1232
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,000
To get focused on the quirks
1233
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,000
And miss the gold in the hills
1234
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,000
And miss the jewels that are right in front of you
1235
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,000
And looking back
1236
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000
I think there were times when we were distracted
1237
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,000
By the quirkiness
1238
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Because with family, quirk is always amplified
1239
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,000
It's mom
1240
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,000
It's always amplified
1241
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Mom and their daughters
1242
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,000
There's something about mom and their daughters
1243
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
And if Faith and Alicia listen to this
1244
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Which they don't really listen to our podcast
1245
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Our kids don't listen to our stuff
1246
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,000
But if they listen to it
1247
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,000
They would understand
1248
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Because there is this thing with mom and daughters
1249
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,000
And not everybody
1250
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,000
I know some mom and daughters that are so
1251
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Just have this beautiful relationship
1252
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
But not everybody has that
1253
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,000
And we tend to look only at the negative
1254
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,000
And the Lord in writing this sermon
1255
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,000
Said I want you to take the gold
1256
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,000
That was in y'all's relationship
1257
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,000
The gold that you saw
1258
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,000
I love that you did that
1259
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Because he sees that
1260
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,000
I need to see it
1261
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,000
And you know what?
1262
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,000
I have never done this before
1263
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,000
If I have ever spoken out on Mother's Day
1264
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Even if it was just to a small audience
1265
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,000
Women or whatever
1266
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,000
I never have in church that I know of
1267
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,000
Or don't remember
1268
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,000
I always use
1269
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
Or if I ever speak
1270
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
And I want to say anything about a mom
1271
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
I always talk about my daughter Alicia
1272
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Being my hero
1273
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Because she gave us our daughter Faith
1274
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:50,000
But I have never ever spoken about my mother
1275
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Unless it was a negative
1276
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:56,000
And I repent for that
1277
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,000
And I think the Bible talks about
1278
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,000
You honored her
1279
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Honoring our mom and dad
1280
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,000
And that we will live a long life
1281
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000
If we honor our parents
1282
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,000
And I want to live a long healthy life
1283
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Not a long sickly life for sure
1284
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,000
And we want to remember the good
1285
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,000
We want to remember the things
1286
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,000
I don't want to be remembered for my mistakes
1287
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Or my quirks
1288
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,000
Exactly
1289
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Or my shortcomings
1290
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,000
And my mother wouldn't want that either
1291
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,000
No, no one would
1292
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
And I don't want that either
1293
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,000
We honor where honors do
1294
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:27,000
It was an honor to preach on Mother's Day
1295
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,000
And be able to share that story
1296
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,000
But really bring in why
1297
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Why do we need to live 24-7?
1298
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Because this world is so fallen
1299
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,000
And things are happening around us
1300
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,000
And we need Jesus to get us through it
1301
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,000
He's our only hope
1302
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,000
And how cool was it that the day you got to preach
1303
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Was a record-setting attendance day
1304
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,000
We had 700 people
1305
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:55,000
We've never had 700 on a regular Sunday
1306
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Other than Christmas and Easter
1307
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,000
So we were on this growing trend
1308
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:02,000
Which is exciting
1309
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,000
And it's not because we're being sweet and nice
1310
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
We're bringing things hard
1311
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,000
We're going really hard
1312
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,000
We're trying to raise the bar of discipleship
1313
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,000
To say if time is truly short in this world
1314
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,000
And I think if you're looking around and a bit perceptive
1315
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,000
You'd realize things are winding down or up
1316
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,000
Whichever way you look at it
1317
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,000
We're accelerating
1318
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Time is short
1319
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000
And so we don't have time to be nice
1320
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,000
We don't have time to patty cake
1321
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,000
We don't have time to coddle Christians
1322
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000
We've been coddled for too long
1323
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,000
That's why we're weak and anemic
1324
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,000
There's too many preachers out there
1325
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000
That are just tickling the ears of people
1326
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,000
And then they're leaving going, oh, that was a good message
1327
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,000
And then they go have lunch
1328
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,000
And they meet someone
1329
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,000
They go, oh, what did they talk about?
1330
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,000
I don't know
1331
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,000
But I felt good
1332
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,000
But I felt good when I left
1333
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,000
It was good
1334
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Well, there's something wrong there
1335
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Yeah
1336
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,000
There's something wrong
1337
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,000
The Bible says our responsibility is to equip the saints
1338
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,000
For the work of ministry
1339
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Work, work, work
1340
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,000
Which means work and ministry
1341
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Where they live, where they work, where they play
1342
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,000
And so we made a decision as a team
1343
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Yes
1344
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
And I led the charge
1345
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,000
But everybody jumped in and said, we've got to raise the bar
1346
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000
So from our children, our little babies and kids
1347
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,000
By the way, we had a baby dedication service
1348
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,000
13 families
1349
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,000
13 babies, 13 families
1350
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,000
I mean, our stage wasn't big enough for everybody
1351
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,000
So good things are happening
1352
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Need a bigger building and a bigger stage
1353
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,000
The thing is though, since we started raising the bar
1354
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:33,000
And really calling people to step up and speak out for Christ
1355
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,000
And be the change agent in their sphere of influence
1356
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,000
The church started growing
1357
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,000
And we started blowing up
1358
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,000
Because people are ready for truth
1359
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:43,000
They're ready to be challenged
1360
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,000
And called out
1361
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Not in a bad way
1362
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,000
This is not mean-spirited
1363
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,000
This is because of love
1364
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,000
Right
1365
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,000
It's a love thing
1366
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,000
And you have repented to the church for your apathy
1367
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,000
Yeah, well for being
1368
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Really what I repented of was for being too passive
1369
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,000
Right
1370
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Instead of really challenging them to go all in with Jesus
1371
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Not that I haven't
1372
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,000
Yes
1373
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,000
But this is another level
1374
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,000
It's a whole other level
1375
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,000
It's a whole other thing
1376
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,000
And I did the same thing yesterday
1377
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,000
I apologized
1378
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,000
And cultural engagement
1379
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,000
And said that if you want a church
1380
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,000
That's just going to pat you on the back
1381
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,000
And just let you hear what you want to hear
1382
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,000
Then this might not be the church
1383
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,000
You're in the wrong place
1384
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,000
And if we have 10 people next week
1385
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Then God's given us 10 people
1386
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,000
And we'll see what happens next week
1387
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,000
I've been saying that for months
1388
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,000
And we're up 200 and something people
1389
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,000
It's crazy
1390
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Since New Year
1391
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,000
But I felt like too
1392
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,000
I wanted to repent as a staff member
1393
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,000
Just as for our part
1394
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,000
Because I really feel like God's saying
1395
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,000
The time is near
1396
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:45,000
And I need you to accelerate what I'm doing
1397
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,000
And so help everyone understand
1398
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:52,000
Because as we're gaining this revelation
1399
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,000
It's not for us
1400
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,000
It's for everybody
1401
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,000
That's right
1402
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,000
That's right
1403
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,000
So what we're doing
1404
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,000
It's our job
1405
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,000
We're calling people to go deeper in
1406
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000
In their walk with Jesus
1407
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,000
And to understand the power of lordship in your life
1408
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,000
Jesus has to be Lord
1409
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,000
If He's not Lord overall
1410
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,000
He's not Lord at all
1411
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,000
And so we're calling people to go into a deeper level
1412
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,000
Of obedience and saying yes Lord
1413
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Get up in the morning
1414
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,000
Good morning Holy Spirit
1415
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,000
Good morning Abba Father
1416
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,000
Lord Jesus
1417
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,000
Lord Jesus
1418
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,000
What do you want me to do today?
1419
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,000
Yes, absolutely
1420
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,000
What is my assignment?
1421
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,000
And so we're really drilling that in right now
1422
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:31,000
And what's happening and also that spills over into
1423
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Your sphere of influence out in the culture
1424
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Yes
1425
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,000
We call it cultural engagement
1426
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,000
We've been silent for too long
1427
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,000
The church has capitulated
1428
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,000
There's your word
1429
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,000
I love that word
1430
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,000
The church has capitulated
1431
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,000
Yes
1432
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,000
We have stepped back
1433
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Yes
1434
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,000
We have withdrawn ourselves from the public square
1435
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,000
We're no longer relevant
1436
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,000
We're no longer invited to pray before city council meetings
1437
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,000
That happens in some towns occasionally here
1438
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,000
But we're no longer invited to the table
1439
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,000
In terms of bringing
1440
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,000
A scriptural biblical worldview
1441
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Into a city planning meeting
1442
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,000
Or into the mayor's chambers
1443
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,000
Pastors used to be the leaders
1444
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,000
They were the leaders
1445
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:15,000
Of their wherever they're living
1446
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:19,000
Their cities, their states
1447
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,000
We were known as the leaders
1448
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,000
Not anymore
1449
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,000
No
1450
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:25,000
We've been marginalized
1451
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,000
But here's the thing
1452
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,000
Totally
1453
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,000
We really marginalized ourselves
1454
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,000
And that's the thing we want to own
1455
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,000
Even though it wasn't my generation
1456
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,000
As now as I'm getting older
1457
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Now I'm responsible for what I know
1458
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,000
And so I'm responsible to not be quiet
1459
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,000
And I can't
1460
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,000
I've counted the cost
1461
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,000
We've had these conversations
1462
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,000
There is a cost
1463
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,000
No matter what happens
1464
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,000
Yes
1465
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,000
We will stand
1466
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,000
No matter what happens
1467
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,000
Our mantra down the road
1468
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Probably will not comply
1469
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,000
We're not going to be knuckled under by tyranny
1470
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,000
We're going back to the original documents
1471
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,000
And saying this is what our Constitution says
1472
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,000
This is what the declaration
1473
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,000
This is our Bill of Rights
1474
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,000
And we're saying this is what we operate by
1475
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Because they're founded on God's Word
1476
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,000
Absolutely
1477
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,000
I'm so proud of you
1478
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,000
You stepped up to the plate
1479
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Swung for the fence
1480
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,000
A triple header
1481
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000
I can't believe I pulled it off
1482
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,000
Back to back
1483
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,000
You did a fantastic job
1484
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,000
The video of the second one
1485
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,000
You can go online
1486
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,000
Bridge Church
1487
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,000
FBG
1488
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Is it Bridge Church?
1489
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,000
BridgeFBG.com
1490
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,000
I don't even know
1491
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:37,000
And you can watch that message
1492
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,000
It's not your typical Mother's Day message
1493
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,000
It's a challenge to step up to the plate
1494
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,000
And I'm so proud of you
1495
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,000

You can find all
1498

Which will be 63 after I post
1499
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Yeshevi moved over to me
1500
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,000
He's in my lap
1501
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,000
Curled up in a little ball
1502
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000
And I'm just loving on him and petting him
1503
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,000
It's good to have you with us today
1504
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,000
So LivingUpAndAndDownWorld.com
1505
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,000
We've got all of our podcasts on there
1506
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,000
It'll be 63 after I upload this one
1507
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,000
And you can go back in those archives
1508
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,000
You can see the titles
1509
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,000
What the content is
1510
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,000
And also right, right
1511
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Let us know what you're up to
1512
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,000
Let us know what's on your heart
1513
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,000
Let us know how you're engaging the culture
1514
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,000
And your sphere of influence
1515
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,000
What are you doing to make a difference?
1516
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,000
Let us know if you're challenged by what we're saying
1517
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,000
Let us know how we can pray for you
1518
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Because that's an honor to stand with you in prayer
1519
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Absolutely
1520
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,000
And we appreciate your prayers for us
1521
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,000
Because we have put ourselves over the enemy's target
1522
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,000
By stepping up, speaking out
1523
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,000
We're watching our back a lot now
1524
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,000
Head on a swivel, right?
1525
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:46,000
And we upped our security at the church
1526
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,000
When you start addressing cultural issues
1527
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,000
You get the enemy's attention
1528
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,000
You have to pay the price
1529
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,000
So yeah
1530
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,000
So I've got some folks to thank
1531
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:58,000
And one of the ways that you can encourage us
1532
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,000
Besides writing in or letting us know what's going on in your life
1533
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,000
Is if you listen on any podcast 2.0 platform
1534
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,000
I particularly like Fountain the best
1535
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,000
You can actually do boostograms
1536
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,000
You can support us
1537
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,000
It's called Value for Value
1538
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,000
And my dear friend, best friend, Adam Curry
1539
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,000
Developed this along with a group of other folks
1540
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,000
But it's really his brain
1541
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,000
He was the brainchild of it
1542
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:22,000
And what it is
1543
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,000
If you like what you're hearing
1544
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,000
If this is encouraging you, inspiring you, motivating you
1545
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Provoking you even
1546
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,000
Then you can show
1547
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,000
And if you're getting value out of it
1548
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Then you can kindly return that value
1549
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,000
By giving us a boostogram
1550
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,000
Or go onto our website
1551
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,000
We have PayPal opportunity there
1552
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,000
And you can send in and encourage
1553
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:43,000
So it just helps us
1554
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Let's us know you're there
1555
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:45,000
Let's us know you're listening
1556
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,000
The boostograms are really great
1557
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,000
For Value for Value
1558
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,000
So we'd love to hear from you
1559
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,000
In fact, speaking of boostograms
1560
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:53,000
I got a few here
1561
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,000
So I want to read these off
1562
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,000
I'll start with the highest one
1563
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:01,000
77,777
1564
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000
You probably don't know who this is
1565
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,000
I wonder who
1566
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:07,000
This would be our executive producer
1567
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,000
Adam, the podfather, Curry
1568
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,000
He says, boosting in celebration
1569
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Of Dame Annette's Mother's Day message
1570
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,000
Oh
1571
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,000
So he just boosted before we even
1572
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,000
Yeah, he did this today
1573
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,000
You crushed it, girl
1574
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,000
And then we have Sir Brian with an I
1575
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:26,000
3,777 sats
1576
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,000
I love Sir Brian
1577
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,000
He's our friend from Austin
1578
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,000
He says, what an excellent discussion
1579
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,000
We'll see him this weekend
1580
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,000
We will?
1581
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,000
At the vow renewal
1582
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Oh yeah, you're right
1583
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,000
He is definitely not going to turn that one down
1584
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,000
We got so much going
1585
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,000
I can't keep it all straight
1586
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,000
He says, what an excellent discussion
1587
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,000
Between Pastor Jimmy and Pastor Brian
1588
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,000
But when are the Mandels going to start
1589
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,000
Doing their own show?
1590
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,000
Nudge, nudge, I'd love to listen
1591
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,000
Hey, that is not completely out of the question
1592
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,000
No, we've got him working too hard
1593
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,000
We've got him doing too much
1594
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,000
He doesn't have time
1595
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,000
I'll drag him in here
1596
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,000
When Annette's not feeling it
1597
00:50:58,000 --> 00:50:59,000
We'll bring him in
1598
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,000
I think once a month is good
1599
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,000
For Brian to come in
1600
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,000
Because I like listening to what he has to say
1601
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,000
Oh gosh, he is so strong
1602
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,000
And he's right there with us on cultural engagement
1603
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,000
He and Nomer's, too, his wife
1604
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,000
They're amazing
1605
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,000
Here's another one
1606
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,000
This is from Pocket Parley, boosted 3000 sats
1607
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,000
Thank you so much
1608
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Always enjoy the show
1609
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,000
But this episode was so good
1610
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,000
That I had no choice
1611
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,000
But to send it to everyone that will listen
1612
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,000
Being bold in the Lord is so freeing
1613
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Way to go, Pocket Parley
1614
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,000
Proud of you
1615
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,000
And do send these out
1616
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,000
I mean, this is not a time to be silent
1617
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,000
This is not a time to withdraw
1618
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,000
It's not a time to be quiet
1619
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,000
It is a time to shout it from the rooftops
1620
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,000
And do not be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
1621
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Don't be ashamed of who you are as a child of God
1622
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,000
The government wants to silence us
1623
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,000
And we're not going to
1624
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,000
No way, no way
1625
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,000
Loud and proud
1626
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:58,000
Not arrogant, not boastful, not brazen
1627
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,000
But bold and courageous
1628
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,000
And because we love
1629
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,000
We're telling people the bridge is out
1630
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,000
We're telling Marxist people the bridge is out
1631
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,000
We're telling those who want to make this a socialist country
1632
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,000
The bridge is out
1633
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,000
The bridge is out
1634
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,000
And if they keep going down the road they're going
1635
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:15,000
They're going to run off the cliff
1636
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,000
And so thank you so much, Pocket Parley
1637
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,000
Also, Katty Kitt boosted 1,000 sats
1638
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,000
She wrote, wow, what a great listen
1639
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Thank you so much
1640
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,000
And thank you, Katty Kitt, for boosting
1641
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,000
And for listening
1642
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,000
And for that encouraging word
1643
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,000
And then we got another boost, 500 sats from Sandy Beaches
1644
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,000
Thank you for your powerful words midweek
1645
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Enjoy listening to encouraging words for today
1646
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,000

There's several
1658
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,000
And I don't have their names right in front of me
1659
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,000
I'm sorry
1660
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,000

Thank you so much

00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,000
It means a ton to us
1663
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:11,000
It just means that it just shows us the value
1664
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:12,000
That you're getting
1665
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,000
And so thank you so much for doing that
1666
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Annette, do you have any final words as we wrap up?
1667

Any last words, Dane, Annette?
1679
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:44,000
I think I've said plenty in the last 24 hours
1680
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,000
Have you talked out?
