Join Jimmy and Annette as they discuss what it means to be born to be brave in a scary culture. This is our time to shine!

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
We'll be right back.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Don't get down when you're seeing the worst.

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Because the last will be the first.

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,000
What a day I'm telling you.

5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000
All things will be new.

6
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Living up in a down world.

7
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Yeah we're living, yeah we're living.

8
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Living up in a down world.

9
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Oh!

10
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
This is Jimmy and Annette and we are coming to you live from the

11
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Living Up in a Down World Studio.

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
You said it right.

13
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
I said it right.

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Livingupinadownworld.com

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
We're not live though.

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Well we're not technically live.

17
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
We're alive right now.

18
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
We're alive, well barely.

19
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
We've had a rough weekend.

20
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
It's very early right now.

21
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
I have my deep morning voice.

22
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Are you on your second or third cup?

23
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
No, I'm just starting my

24
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
second cup of Black Rifle coffee.

25
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
And you're like, we're doing this now!

26
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
I know, well because

27
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
we had a little faux pas this morning

28
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
because you didn't look at your phone to go pick up Faith.

29
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
And I was already at the church.

30
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
I didn't know I was supposed to pick up Faith.

31
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
So we were running and gunning.

32
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
No.

33
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
I had a low tire.

34
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
And when you're driving and you see

35
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
low tire as a female,

36
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
that's like fear

37
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
comes into me. Like wait, what if we have

38
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
So what I had to do is

39
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
I held on to the

40
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
steering wheel because I thought if something were to happen

41
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
I need to have my hands

42
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
tightly gripped.

43
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Bless your little old heart.

44
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
I've seen people that just go out of control

45
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
because we're on a highway driving in.

46
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
So luckily it was just one pound low.

47
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
No big deal.

48
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Because we got

49
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
a rental car

50
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
last year and we started

51
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
to get in it and we saw a flat tire.

52
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Which they should have caught that.

53
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Hello. It was literal.

54
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
So that was going through my mind.

55
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
So I'm thinking, okay.

56
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
So I didn't look at my phone

57
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
because you know why?

58
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Because I'm a careful defensive

59
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
driver.

60
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
I know you're laughing.

61
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
I am. I'm trying to be

62
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
aware of

63
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
my surroundings.

64
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Just aware of my surroundings because

65
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
too many accidents on

66
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
our big highway that we have

67
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
to drive every day.

68
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
All of that to say. We were going to come in

69
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
and go, okay we got 30 minutes.

70
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000
We're going to record. We have 30 minutes.

71
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
And then it was like, oh somebody's

72
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
got to go pick up Faith. Oh I'll do

73
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000
it. Oh take my car.

74
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
I need to get some stuff done.

75
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
So anyway, that was our morning.

76
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
We're here. We're here.

77
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
And I am pumped up.

78
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
I'm so excited about what God's up to.

79
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Revival is not coming. Revival is

80
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
here. We're seeing God move

81
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
on so many levels.

82
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Not just in our church but in people all

83
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
around us and other situations and

84
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
scenarios. Even across the United

85
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
States, across the world. As

86
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Lynn, SCS Lewis Wright,

87
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
is on the move. And we're

88
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
moving with Him. That's what's exciting about

89
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000
being a follower of Jesus.

90
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Is that you actually get on board

91
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
with Him. We don't generate the waves.

92
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
We just catch them as they come by

93
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
so to speak. So it's not like you're gritting

94
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
your teeth and trying harder. It's

95
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
literally you're just getting in

96
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
you're joining God in His work.

97
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Henry T. Blackaby from the

98
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
great study Experiencing God

99
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
says that we watch to see where

100
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
God's working. And when you do see the

101
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
activity of God, it's His invitation

102
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000
to join Him in

103
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000
His work. And so you realign

104
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
yourself with Him and you join Him

105
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
in His work. That's how simple it is

106
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
to know the will of God.

107
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Well and I love that

108
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
we have redefined

109
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
revival.

110
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Because in the past, revival

111
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
has always been you have these

112
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
revival services and then you hope

113
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
people are revived. And they're

114
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
they are for the moment but it doesn't

115
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
last. And what we are seeing

116
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
is people are reviving

117
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
their heart individually.

118
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
And then it becomes collective.

119
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
And so we're seeing

120
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
people that were

121
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
nominal Christians, very

122
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
complacent, on

123
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
fire all of a sudden and just

124
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
saying I'm willing to do whatever

125
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
it takes now. And I think it's exciting.

126
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Well and you look at our world

127
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
and you have one of

128
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
two choices. You either join

129
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
the world and you be in

130
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
fear and you

131
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
be in constant stress

132
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000
or you say you know what?

133
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
What about Jesus?

134
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
What can He do? And what can

135
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
He do for me? And what can I do

136
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
for Him? And that it's changing

137
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
people's lives. I love that

138
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
because what it does it actually

139
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
rises above. It goes above

140
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000
and beyond what's going on in

141
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
the current circumstance. Right. Like

142
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
whatever the political, whichever

143
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
way the political winds are blowing

144
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
and my gosh they're swirling right now.

145
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Two weeks from yesterday.

146
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
No, three weeks from yesterday. Three weeks from yesterday.

147
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Two weeks from Tuesday. Pivotal

148
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
election for the United States and for our

149
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
friends that are in all other nations

150
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
and other places. Pray

151
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
for us. Pray for America.

152
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
America really is the last

153
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
bastion of freedom and if we lose

154
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
this, a lot of those freedoms

155
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
are going to go away. And where

156
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
will people go? Where do

157
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
you go? If you desire

158
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
freedom, you desire free enterprise,

159
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
you desire the ability to

160
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
own your own car and your own property.

161
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
If that all goes away, where does

162
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
anyone go? People

163
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
aren't trying to get in and out of Russia right now.

164
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
They're not trying to cross the border into

165
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Russia or into

166
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Ukraine or

167
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Brazil.

168
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
I mean they are trying to get into

169
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
America and unfortunately our border

170
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
situation is pretty dire right now.

171
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
But anyway, back to the back. You keep touching a book.

172
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Yeah, yes. It's a Kirk Cameron's book.

173
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
So I'll switch gears for a sec.

174
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Kirk Cameron just released a book

175
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
called Born to Be Brave.

176
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
What does it mean?

177
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
He says this. He actually uses

178
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
the Lion King

179
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
story.

180
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Where Mufasa,

181
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
the father,

182
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000
the lion, the great lion,

183
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
has a son and his son actually

184
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
ends up going off to another

185
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
place and is raised apart

186
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
from a kingdom that's in war.

187
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
And there's an evil

188
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
villain

189
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
lion that's trying to

190
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
fight to win. Sounds interesting.

191
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Oh, it's very, very

192
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
parallel to the Gospel story.

193
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
It sure is. In the Bible.

194
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Well, C.S. Lewis. Hello.

195
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
The key thing is that

196
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Simba, the young lion,

197
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000
he doesn't even know who he is.

198
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
He doesn't even know

199
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
that he's the son of a king.

200
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
And that he's actually an heir

201
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
to a kingdom. But he doesn't

202
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
know it until a prophetic

203
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
monkey comes along.

204
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
I say prophetic. Kirk Cameron says

205
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
the monkey figure is kind of like

206
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
a prophet. He comes and says

207
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
you don't know who you are, do you?

208
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
That sounds like Toy Story. It does. It sounds like a lot

209
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
of stories. It's a story arc.

210
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
It's a familiar story arc and

211
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
narrative. But I love the way Kirk

212
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
mines that out. It was just such a reminder

213
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
as I was reading chapter one

214
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
this morning of how

215
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
we sometimes forget

216
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
that we're the son of a king.

217
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
We're the daughter of a king. We're the

218
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
children of a king. We're

219
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
king's kids. It was such a

220
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
reminder. So born to

221
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
be brave, he uses that

222
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
story to say this young lion

223
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
was actually born to be a king.

224
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Born to be brave. So it's time

225
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
for us to step up. Absolutely.

226
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
As followers of Jesus, when we begin

227
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
to understand our true identity,

228
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
we are born to be brave.

229
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
And what a time to be brave,

230
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
right? In a time when our freedoms

231
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
are being threatened.

232
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000
As Christians in

233
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
America, we're being marginalized.

234
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Many times we've marginalized ourselves.

235
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
We've pulled ourselves out of

236
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
the public square, to use your favorite word,

237
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
capitulated.

238
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
We've capitulated and given

239
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
over to the enemy

240
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
and just said, oh you know what, we're just

241
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
going to go over here and have our little Bible studies.

242
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
We're going to go over here and have our

243
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
church. And keep everything to ourself.

244
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
And you do your stuff and we'll do ours.

245
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
And get fat as a tick.

246
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Wow.

247
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
You used to give that

248
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
illustration a lot. I know.

249
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
And what happens though? Touch your boy.

250
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
What happens with a tick? They blow up.

251
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
They blow up. Yep.

252
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
It's a bloody mess. It is.

253
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
But that's what happens with Christians.

254
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
We marginalize ourselves. We take ourselves out

255
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
of the public square. We're no longer involved.

256
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
You know what this sounds like? Hitler

257
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
told one of the

258
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
top pastors in Germany

259
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
right before he became

260
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Chancellor. He was saying, hey you

261
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Christians go over there.

262
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
I'll go over here. Just keep to yourself.

263
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
We're going to let you be. We're not going to mess with you.

264
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
We're glad you're here.

265
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
And then it all changed afterwards.

266
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
And when that pastor came back

267
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
to talk with Hitler after

268
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
he became Chancellor and the Third Reich

269
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
came into power

270
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
and began to dominate Germany and then

271
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
began to take in other countries,

272
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
he sat down with him and

273
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Hitler said, who do you think you are?

274
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
I mean totally flipped.

275
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000
It was a total lie.

276
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Well obviously Hitler was

277
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
mentally ill. But he

278
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
also knew what he was doing because he

279
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000
planned it. Right. And so

280
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
yeah. All that to say the church

281
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
lost their voice. They capitulated.

282
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Because he said, if you'll stay

283
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
over there and run in your lane, we'll

284
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
stay over here and run in our lane. We

285
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
don't mind each other's business.

286
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Which reminds me of the

287
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000
movie. Well the movie,

288
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000
I don't know if you call it a movie,

289
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
we watched. Cory Tim Boom.

290
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Oh the play. It was kind of a play

291
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
adapted for the screen.

292
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
It was a play adapted for the screen.

293
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000
The person who played

294
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Cory Tim Boom

295
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000
was on Alan Jackson's podcast.

296
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Fantastic podcast.

297
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
We started to watch the podcast when

298
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
she was talking. Yes, she was talking

299
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
about her role and

300
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
what it meant to her

301
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
to play Cory Tim Boom.

302
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
If you don't know who that is,

303
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
go online and read her story.

304
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Well the short version is... Well wait.

305
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Let me say this first. But

306
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
we were so enamored

307
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
by the things she was saying

308
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
at the beginning of this podcast.

309
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
She did make a statement

310
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
that there was

311
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
you could get it on

312
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
streaming. The

313
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
actual play. And so we

314
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000
watched that on

315
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Apple TV the other night.

316
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
And we were both just crying.

317
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
And then

318
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
we finished the podcast because we

319
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
wanted to see what she was talking about.

320
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
It was so good.

321
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
When Nan switched into her Danish voice

322
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
and quoted

323
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Cory Tim Boom in that voice.

324
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Talk about who she is

325
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
and what she did.

326
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Well Cory Tim Boom,

327
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
she was a watchmaker. Her dad,

328
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
she came from a long line of

329
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
watchmakers. Her family ran

330
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
a watch store in

331
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
the Netherlands.

332
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
For a hundred years.

333
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Her father was aged.

334
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
He was in his

335
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
80s.

336
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000
What happened was when the Third Reich,

337
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Hitler invaded the Netherlands

338
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
in what 1930 I believe it was.

339
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
When that happened,

340
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000
or the 30s, when that happened

341
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
their whole

342
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
life changed.

343
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
And as followers of

344
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Jesus they felt like we

345
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
have a responsibility to take care of the

346
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Jewish people.

347
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
They loved the Jews.

348
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
They loved people and they loved God's

349
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
people. And they began

350
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
to, they created what they called The Hiding

351
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Place. And it was a false

352
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
wall. And there is a movie from 1975 called

353
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000
The Hiding Place. You can actually rent it.

354
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Her autobiography is called The Hiding

355
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Place. It's a famous book.

356
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Great book. Tells her whole story.

357
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
I want to go back and watch that. I want to go read the book

358
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
actually. Her original book.

359
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
So, her

360
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
family housed

361
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Jewish people who were being chased

362
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
down by the Gestapo,

363
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
by the Third Reich police trying to

364
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
they were trying to eliminate and

365
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000
eradicate. They were taking them off to

366
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
these horrific places.

367
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
These camps. And that's

368
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
a nice name for them. They were death camps.

369
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
What was remarkable is they

370
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
hid over 800

371
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Jews in a two year period.

372
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
In their little house.

373
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
The room that they were hiding them in.

374
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
So, like they always had

375
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
hosted people. So, their home

376
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
and their shop, which was

377
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
connected to their home, was a revolving

378
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
door. So, it wasn't unusual to see

379
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
people coming and going at the

380
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
at the

381
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
at their household. And

382
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
so, the ten booms.

383
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
The ten boom household. T-E-N-B-O-O-M.

384
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Two words. It's kind of an odd

385
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
name. So,

386
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
so, the Gestapo

387
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000
didn't think that much about it because it was just typical.

388
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
But, turns out they were Jewish

389
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
people that they were housing. And they called

390
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
them watches. Yeah, yeah. Are the watches

391
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
here? When are the watches coming?

392
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Or they'd get a phone call and it'd be

393
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
I have some unusual watches

394
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
for you. She'd say, well, send them

395
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
on over. And so, and then

396
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
her brother would take them

397
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
to another safe house.

398
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
To try to get them out of the country.

399
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
And to safety. Over

400
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
800 were saved. I can't even imagine.

401
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
What a remarkable story.

402
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
But, to hear Nan

403
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Gurley talk about playing

404
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
her. She studied her since she was a

405
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
teenager. Since she was 20, she said.

406
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
And Nan's probably in her 50s, 60s,

407
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
I'd say 60s right now. Probably.

408
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
But played her in this play. She's an actress.

409
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
She's phenomenal. And phenomenal.

410
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
And it's powerful. So,

411
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
we highly recommend

412
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
you rent it. Right now, I think the only place you can

413
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
get the movie is Apple TV.

414
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
It's $14.99. We don't even have Apple TV,

415
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
but we got the trial version.

416
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
I did the 90 day trial just so we could

417
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
watch it. And it was

418
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
powerful. And so, we

419
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
encourage you to do that. Also, you can go to the

420
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Alan Jackson's podcast, Culture

421
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
and Christianity. And it's

422
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
with Nan Gurley.

423
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
That gives you the short version. Oh my

424
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
gosh. So powerful. Nevertheless, it's just as powerful.

425
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000
And beautiful. But I

426
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
would encourage you to get, watch the movie.

427
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Because it is,

428
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
it's so enlightening. And it was

429
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
so well done. We were both looking at

430
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
each other going, man. Because this

431
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
is a play. It's like going

432
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
and sitting and watching a Broadway play.

433
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
But

434
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
adapted for the screen. And it was

435
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
just beautiful. And it was,

436
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
it was so moving. Like

437
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
I said, we both cried and cried at the

438
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
end. And it was, it was powerful.

439
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
I would definitely encourage you.

440
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
And Pastor Alan Jackson, we're talking about

441
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
suffering and adversity

442
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
and pain and how. Yeah, we don't

443
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
have any idea. We as American Christians,

444
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
we've had it so convenient and so

445
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
easy for so long. So comfortable

446
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
that we're shocked when

447
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
something's not comfortable. We're shocked when

448
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000
something doesn't work right. The electricity

449
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
goes off for an extended period of time. We don't

450
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
know what to do. Internet goes down. Oh my

451
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
gosh. Shuts the whole world down.

452
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
So, she was talking about adversity

453
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000
and trials. And how

454
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
that's all these people do.

455
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
So,

456
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Cory Ten Boom, Cory and her sister

457
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
Betsy, well the whole family

458
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
got taken into

459
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
a death

460
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
camp. The dad died after

461
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
10 days of being

462
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
in that death camp. The

463
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
sister died after

464
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
nine months and then 10 days

465
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
later Cory was

466
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
released because of a clerical

467
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
error.

468
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
A miracle.

469
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
It was a miracle. She wasn't supposed

470
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
to be released. What she did

471
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
afterwards was

472
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
I don't even think we want to tell

473
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000
everything that she did because you want

474
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000
people to listen. But I will say

475
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
she went around the world for the rest of her

476
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
life telling the stories and

477
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
talking to people and the Christians

478
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
about faith

479
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
and about the cost of discipleship,

480
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
the cost of faith and being

481
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
willing to stand and trust God. And she died in

482
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
I think 1983

483
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
at the age of 91 is what I remember.

484
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Remarkable, remarkable woman.

485
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Danish woman.

486
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Tough, tough as a boot kind of.

487
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
But she was strong

488
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
and led many, many,

489
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
many, many people to Jesus.

490
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
What's so scary, Jimmy, is that

491
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
if we keep going as a nation

492
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
as we're going, we could end up

493
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
in similar circumstances

494
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000
because of

495
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Marxism coming in.

496
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
And it might not look the same, but it

497
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
will feel the same.

498
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Do you know what I'm saying? I do.

499
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000
And it's scary to think

500
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
that it could happen. I mean that happened.

501
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
In a neutral

502
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
country, they declared neutrality.

503
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
We're not in this thing.

504
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
And the Third Reich,

505
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Hitler came in and took them over

506
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000
and began to deport all because they were doing

507
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
what they called the final solution

508
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
which was to get rid of all the Jewish people.

509
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
They were trying to literally eradicate them from their earth.

510
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
But right now, they want to eradicate Christians.

511
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
No doubt. I mean it's

512
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
so obvious they want to take us out.

513
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
So many things have tilted against believers.

514
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
You know what I love though?

515
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
When you come against the Church of God

516
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
and the Church of Jesus Christ,

517
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000
the Church gets stronger.

518
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,000
People begin to rise up.

519
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Now people fall away because maybe they weren't even

520
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
real Christians to begin with. They probably weren't all in.

521
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Maybe they weren't operating

522
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
out of a second birth.

523
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
They brought the world to God's way.

524
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Exactly. And so they give up.

525
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
They give in

526
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
to the demands. But what

527
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
I'm seeing right now is Christians

528
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000
stepping up and standing up. There's a

529
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
move of God. I was talking to

530
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
a friend yesterday

531
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
who said there is a move of God right

532
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000
now around the world. And it is

533
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000
shocking almost.

534
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Talk to our international bishop friend,

535
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Dr. Bill.

536
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
The Bishop Bill, the good Reverend

537
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Dr. He's got so many titles it's unbelievable.

538
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
He's raising up

539
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
leaders

540
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
to be pastors in unreached

541
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
and dangerous places. That's all

542
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
I'm going to say about it. And

543
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
he reached out yesterday. We were talking

544
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
and he said God is moving

545
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
all over the world right now. We are in

546
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
revival. History will look back

547
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000
on this period of time. And they

548
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
may report on the political scene. They may

549
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
report on what's going on with NATO and

550
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
all over the world. And Ukraine and Russia

551
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
and China and North Korea.

552
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
But at the end of the day

553
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
there's going to be stories come out of heroes

554
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
and heroines who stood for

555
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Jesus Christ in the face of persecution

556
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000
and trials. And they

557
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
stood their ground. They were born

558
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000
to be brave in the words of Kirk Cameron.

559
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
I recommend that book by the way.

560
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
I'm getting a lot out of it. You're carrying it

561
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
everywhere you go. I know. I've got it sitting right

562
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
here in front of me because I can't put the book

563
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
down. It's one of those that grips you hard. Which is so

564
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
unusual because you've never been

565
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000
really a Kirk Cameron fan. I was

566
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
when I watched Growing Pains.

567
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
I didn't know anything about him.

568
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Well I think when he was with

569
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Ray Comfort he

570
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000
had a little different bent

571
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
in his speaking.

572
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
And so it kind of

573
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000
was very harsh. But now

574
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
you can see it's bravery.

575
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
It's what it is. No doubt.

576
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,000
It's like we've changed

577
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000
and now we understand

578
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
where he comes from because of what we're seeing

579
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
in the world. He caught my attention.

580
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
I started listening to his podcast,

581
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
American Revival Podcast.

582
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
And he's doing like

583
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
I think a couple of times

584
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000
a week leading up to the election.

585
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
He's doing these little fireside chats. He's got

586
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
one of his pastors on with him right now. It's been

587
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000
really good. But what he caught

588
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
my attention when he said this, what if the present

589
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
cultural setback is

590
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
really a divine set up

591
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
for a spiritual comeback

592
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
led by the family of faith. Well those are words

593
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
I've used. It's a phrase I've used for years.

594
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
For about 20 years. Yeah. I mean

595
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
sometimes what looks like

596
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
a setback is actually a set up for

597
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
a comeback. And I've said that for years

598
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
and years. So he caught my attention with that. I actually

599
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
want to ask him and probably reach out to him through

600
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Rick Green and say

601
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
where did you get that? Because I'm

602
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
curious if we got it from the same place.

603
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000
But listen to this. He says that

604
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
maybe things that

605
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
today are making us disgusted about

606
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
our society aren't merely the way it is.

607
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000
An unfixable brokenness

608
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000
created by people's poor

609
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
choices. Maybe God has secretly

610
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
been at work within our

611
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
cultural turmoil embedding an

612
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
opportunity few can see.

613
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
It's not about one political

614
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
philosophy prevailing over another

615
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
because if that were so a political party would be

616
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
all that's needed to bring about

617
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
change. Instead this is

618
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
here's that word again, an opportunity

619
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000
custom made for the family

620
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000
of God and dependent

621
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
on the miracle power of God.

622
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
A renewal that's potentially

623
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
bigger than any ever witnessed

624
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000
in our lifetime. Transforming

625
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000
not just hearts but the entire

626
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
culture might be

627
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
nearer than we've ever considered

628
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
possible. This could be

629
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
the family of faith's

630
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
finest hour. I keep hearing

631
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
this from spiritual leaders. Steve Maxwell

632
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
and others have said this is our finest

633
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000
hour. This is our time to shine.

634
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000
But we have to step up

635
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
and shine. Yep, we have to be brave.

636
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
We have to be brave. We have to be willing

637
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
to stand out. Speaking of bravery,

638
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Sunday morning service.

639
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000
I know we don't have

640
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
a whole lot of time but I think

641
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
you need to talk about where you got

642
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
your message from and

643
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000
why it was important to give it

644
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
this weekend. Well,

645
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
first of all I was inspired to do it because

646
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Pastor Paul Blair out of Oklahoma

647
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,000
reached out to a bunch of guys.

648
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
We're called Liberty Pastors, Black Road Regiment.

649
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
You know,

650
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Remnant Alliance. These are pastors

651
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000
who are stepping up in their pulpits

652
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
and engaging the culture. It's not

653
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
just politics. The only reason we're

654
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
engaging politics because we're not chasing

655
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
politics. Politics are chasing us.

656
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
And we're in the middle of an election. They've come to our

657
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
front door. So we're just answering

658
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
questions and dealing with what's going on.

659
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000
When the

660
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,000
political thing settles down and we

661
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
get past the election, we'll continue to engage

662
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
culture. It just may be at a different

663
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
focus. But right now

664
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
that's the focus. He reached out to pastors

665
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
and said, would you please take this

666
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Sunday, we're three weeks out from the election,

667
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
a pivotal election, would you take

668
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000
time this Sunday and

669
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000
speak to your congregations and challenge

670
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
them to vote, to use

671
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
their power, their voice. And so

672
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000
that's exactly what we did. And

673
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,000
I preached a lesson,

674
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
a message called

675
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Vote Like Jesus. It's

676
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
actually the title of a book by Pastor Mark

677
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Driscoll. Which is,

678
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
it's got to be, we haven't read the book,

679
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
but from what... I didn't have to read the book.

680
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Well, and we didn't have to,

681
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
but we also watched him

682
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000
preach this message. Part of it.

683
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
And we were

684
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
sold. So I borrowed from

685
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
many sources actually to do

686
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
this message. I mean, I literally

687
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
listed out all these

688
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
sources because there were so many

689
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
people I drew this message from. For example,

690
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
I'll just give you the list because it was

691
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Paul Blair, Mark Driscoll,

692
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Josh Howerton, Jack Hillegos,

693
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
David and Tim Barton, Alan Jackson,

694
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Rick Green, Jack Hibbs, and Greg

695
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Lowry. I used

696
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
pieces of... because I just

697
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
took all these amazing

698
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000
statements and I rolled

699
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
them up into one service called

700
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Vote Like Jesus.

701
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
And then challenged our church

702
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
in the area of family, in the area

703
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
of church, but also that God established

704
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000
government. God established

705
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
the state to give us boundaries

706
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
and the rule of

707
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
law. And I proved all that from

708
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
scripture. And it was just so important

709
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
to

710
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
challenge our people

711
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
that you're not voting

712
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,000
for a platform. No.

713
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
No, you're not voting for an individual.

714
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Thank you. I'm sorry. My thoughts are getting ahead

715
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
and I'm rushing because of our time.

716
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
But I

717
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
challenged our people that

718
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
forget Kamala Harris,

719
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
forget Donald Trump. You're voting

720
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
for the platform that most aligns

721
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
with a biblical worldview.

722
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
You take what you believe about God's

723
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
word, what it says about life

724
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
and birth.

725
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
What it says about borders

726
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
and boundaries. What it says

727
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
about

728
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000
our freedoms. What it says about

729
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
we've been

730
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
born for freedom.

731
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
So in liberty, what it says

732
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000
about various issues

733
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
and then ask which platform

734
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
most closely aligns

735
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
with that.

736
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
I know you wrote that

737
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
on a blog yesterday and someone responded,

738
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
well none of them do. Well, which one

739
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
most aligns? Exactly.

740
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
And here's why I said that. A vote

741
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
is not a valentine. Yes.

742
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000
It's just not. A vote is not a valentine.

743
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
It's not your favorite person. You're not trying to woo a girl.

744
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Or woo a dude.

745
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
You're literally not voting

746
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
for the most popular. You're saying

747
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
that this person

748
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
happens to represent a platform

749
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000
doesn't mean they're perfect. Doesn't mean they have it all

750
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
together. A ballot box is

751
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
not a mailbox for you to send a message

752
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
to Washington D.C. Well, and we need

753
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
to know what the Bible says in order to

754
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
know how to vote. Exactly. This is the

755
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
problem. That's more important than knowing the political

756
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
scene. It is. But this is the problem

757
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
is we are illiterate

758
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
as Christians.

759
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000
And

760
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
we're babies.

761
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
The Bible says that we're babies and we need

762
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
we're drinking

763
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
milk and we need the meat of the word.

764
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000
And if you don't know what the Bible says

765
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,000
about those issues you won't know

766
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
who to vote for so you just won't vote at all.

767
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
That's right. If you don't know what the Bible

768
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000
says about for example things like

769
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
pro-life or pro-death

770
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
pro-securing our borders or pro-open

771
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
borders, pro-peace or pro-war

772
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
pro-freedom or

773
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
pro-dependence on nations

774
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
that hate us and want to take us out. And the government

775
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
is controlling

776
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
every area of our lives. Pro-parental

777
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000
rights or pro-child choice

778
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
who says at 11 years old I want to

779
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
be a boy but I want to be a girl.

780
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000
And so my parents disagree

781
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
so I'm going to tell my counselor

782
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
and they're going to make sure that I

783
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
start the process. Waltz Minnesota

784
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
already has

785
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
the right to take a child out of a

786
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
home if the parents will not affirm

787
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
their gender choice. Now I heard

788
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
and I may be wrong

789
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
that there are 17 states

790
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000
that are already in agreement with that. Is

791
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,000
that right? I don't remember how many. I thought

792
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000
it was 10 but I don't know that

793
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000
right number. But that could easily

794
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
become 50 states. That could be

795
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
50 states if

796
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
a certain

797
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000
regime holds

798
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000
power. We're in trouble.

799
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
And so we have

800
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
I just want to say prepare

801
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
to vote. 30 to

802
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000
40 million Christians

803
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
stayed home in the 2020

804
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
election and it's projected

805
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
and Barna did a study on this

806
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
and I shared all of that information

807
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
that it is projected

808
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
that 30 plus

809
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
million evangelical Christians

810
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
will stay home again

811
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
because of ambivalence

812
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
and they don't trust the system.

813
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000
And they don't like either one.

814
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
But the problem is when you don't

815
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
vote you're actually giving a vote

816
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
to the other side of what you don't believe.

817
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
So by not showing up

818
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
you vacate your responsibility

819
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000
and where there's a vacuum of leadership

820
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
the enemy will always

821
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
come in and fill that void.

822
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
He'll back fill

823
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
our apathy, our

824
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
laziness, our misunderstanding

825
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
of what it is. Do you know

826
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
that when you cast a vote you're

827
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
not voting for a president.

828
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
You're voting for a platform and

829
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
5 to 8000

830
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
appointments that go along

831
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
with that platform that can tip

832
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
the scales towards a

833
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
more biblical world

834
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
view or a more

835
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
demonic world view, a more Marxist

836
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
world view and you have to choose

837
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
so you get out of your

838
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
mindset that I'm voting for Donald Trump

839
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
or I'm voting for Kamala.

840
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Forget that. You're not voting for a

841
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
personality, it's not a valentine.

842
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Also your selection

843
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
is not a sacrament.

844
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000
This isn't a holy thing

845
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
in terms of I'm taking communion

846
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
and everything has to be pure and ceremonially

847
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
washed. Listen, there is

848
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
unless Jesus is on

849
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
the ballot you will always

850
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
vote for the lesser

851
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
of two evils and just

852
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
get it in your mind and when you accept

853
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
that you realize okay I'm going to participate in the

854
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
process and if you don't participate

855
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000
and you don't vote forget

856
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000
complaining to anybody about what's going on

857
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
because it's on you. It's

858
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
on your watch. Listen, I'll

859
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
dismiss you if you need a role.

860
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
I do. I have a bunch of women waiting

861
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
on me. I want to land the plane with some thanks and I want

862
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
to talk about Adam and Tina Curry.

863
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Tina just got back from a

864
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
big big trip and

865
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
a big hiking trip up in Tennessee

866
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
and so they'll be talking about that.

867
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,000
So have a great meeting. Love

868
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
you. Talk to you later baby girl.

869
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Alright, it's just us right now.

870
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
And I want to encourage you in something

871
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
we've got some dear friends, Adam and Tina Curry

872
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
and they've got a great podcast called

873
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
The Keeper. Adam also does another

874
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
podcast called No Agenda. I recommend

875
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
both of those. No Agenda especially

876
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
right now where they are doing media

877
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
deconstruction, talking about the election,

878
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
talking about what all's going on

879
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
and really just pulling apart all

880
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
of the propaganda, all the media

881
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000
lies and stories and narratives,

882
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
the cultural narratives. They do a great job

883
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
of pulling those apart so you can see

884
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
the truth between the lines because it's not obvious.

885
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
And so they do a great job of that.

886
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
John Dvorak and Adam Curry.

887
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
And speaking of

888
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
thanks and people I want to

889
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
thank, I've got some people I want to thank

890
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
right now. First of all, and this has

891
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000
to do with a really

892
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000
nice comment

893
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
that was made on Fountain from

894
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Comic Strip blogger

895
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000
on Curry and the Keeper's

896
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000
podcast.

897
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
And he writes this, today I'd like to

898
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000
recommend a podcast that can be found

899
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,000

900
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
or by searching for

CSB, that's Comic

906
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Strip Blogger. Comic Strip Blogger, thank

907
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
you for giving us a shout out.

908
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
I was actually boosting

909
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Adam and Tina yesterday at Curry and the Keeper

910
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
when I saw your comment.

911
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,000
I really appreciate that. Also got

912
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
some comments on last week's

913
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
podcast called There's More

914
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
to the Story.

915
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Adam Curry supercharging Tina's

916
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,000
mini striper boost

917
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
with 77,777

918
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
sats.

919
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
That's a striper boost. He says

920
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
we love the full name

921
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Living Up in a Down World. That was when Annette and I were

922
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
going back and forth on, should we just call

923
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
it Living Up? Because she really wanted to shorten it

924
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
and I'm like, no, I like Living Up in a Down World

925
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
because it's descriptive. So, Living Up in

926
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
a Down World wins out. We will not change the

927
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
name of the podcast. Thank you Adam Curry.

928
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Also, we have a mini striper boost

929
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
from Sir Brian with an I.

930
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
He says very powerful testimony

931
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
from Dame Annette. Thank you for sharing

932
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
your story and thank you for saying

933
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
thanks Sir Brian. We love you.

934
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000
Then the Keeper wrote another

935
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
mini striper boost.

936
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
He said a reason, a season, and a lifetime.

937
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
What a blessing you two are to me and

938
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Adam. Love you lots. We love you too

939
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Keeper. Miss Tina.

940
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
By the way, that was a comment that

941
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
I made. Mike Smith, who's

942
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
the producer of Out of Shadows

943
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
and Into the Light, two great

944
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000
documentaries I highly recommend you

945
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,000
watch. We had he and his wife

946
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Wendy as a guest at our church and man, they

947
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
just did a great job. Knocked it out

948
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
of the park. But he and I were on the phone

949
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
the next day just talking, catching up.

950
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000
And he said, you know what? He said,

951
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
how can you remember the context of the

952
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000
conversation? We were talking about God, the world, and other things.

953
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
And he said this, people come

954
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000
into your life for a reason,

955
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
a season, or a lifetime.

956
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000
And sometimes you've got to just put

957
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
people in those categories because sometimes

958
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
they don't stay and you wonder, how could

959
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
I thought we were going to do life together for the rest of our lives?

960
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Well, it might have just been a reason.

961
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
And value the reason that they were in your life

962
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
and don't despair because they're not

963
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000
there now. Same way with the season.

964
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000
But then there are those few that come along

965
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
and they come along for a lifetime.

966
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
You know, lifers are the kind when you

967
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
cannot talk for four years, you

968
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
get on the phone and it was literally like yesterday.

969
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
So, anyway, big kudos

970
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
out to Mike Smith for that.

971
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Adam Curry also, he says

972
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
we love the full name

973
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
and then he wrote, Green Bubble Fail.

974
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Love it Adam.

975
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
And then Keeper, another

976
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
mini Striper boost from

977
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
the Keeper. Very many.

978
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
777 sets.

979
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000
Mini, mini Striper boost

980
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
so Annette knows I listen to the show.

981
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
That's

982
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
hysterical. We love those guys.

983
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
We're looking forward.

984
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
Man, we got to have some time with them last week.

985
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Actually, me and Adam did a bro date

986
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,000
last week and it was amazing.

987
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,000
We went and ate at one of our favorite places

988
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000
called Friedhelm's. Here,

989
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
it's a Bavarian restaurant

990
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000
and it's just one of our go-tos.

991
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
It's old school. It's like stepping

992
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
back in a time capsule.

993
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
And one of the things I love about being in

994
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Fredericksburg, small town, America, Texas.

995
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
And so we had a great time

996
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,000
together. And again, when Adam and I get

997
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
together, it is God first,

998
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
the world and other things. That's how

999
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
it goes in that order. So really enjoyed

1000
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
my time. Well, listen, we love you guys.

1001
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000
So thankful for you.

1002
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,000

00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
