"This is Their Super Bowl"
Join Jimmy and Annette and they discuss and unpack what it means to Live Up in a Down World.
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Don't get down when you're seeing the worst
2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Cause the last will be the first
3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
What a day I'm telling you
4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
All things will be new
5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Living up in a down world
6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Yeah we're living, yeah we're living
7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Living up in a down world
8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Oh!
9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
This is Jimmy and Annette and we are coming to you
10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
from the heart of our, well we always say the Texas Hill country
11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
but I don't want to sound just like Adam
12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
We're coming from the heart of Bridge Church, Fredericksburg, Texas
13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Literally the heart, we're right in the office, right in the studio
14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,000
That's right
15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
How are you this morning?
16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000
I am good, I'm a little tired because I didn't sleep well
17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
I think I was thinking about the election
18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
So in the middle of the night I would, is I would wake up
19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
I would look at my phone and just see
20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
and then I'm like oh wait I can't see
21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
You did that in the middle of the night?
22
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
I did while you were sleeping
23
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Wow I was out of it
24
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,000
You were out
25
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,000
I slept good last night
26
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
And then finally I woke up about 6.10 I was like
27
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Your alarm did not go off
28
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
I thought it was probably 4 or 5
29
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
And so I tried to wake you up when I saw that Trump won
30
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
and I literally, I just lost it
31
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000
I just started bawling
32
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
I know, you were crying
33
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
I was trying to wake you up, I'm in a total dead sleep
34
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
I was crying because I felt like, not because he won
35
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
but because God won
36
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
because His mercy allows us to have another four years
37
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,000
of trying to turn this, what this other administration has done
38
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,000
to America and turn it back to how it's founded
39
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
and I believe that Trump can do that
40
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
He's not our Savior obviously
41
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000
but I just cried out of gratitude that God heard our prayers
42
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
We've worked hard over the last year and a half here at the bridge
43
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
I mean the thing is I can't affect Washington DC
44
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
but I can impact my sphere of influence
45
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
and this goes for anybody
46
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
and I love what Adam says and others say
47
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Rick Green says it too and others
48
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,000
talk about the fact that the real power for change is local
49
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
it's where you live, it's where you work and where you play
50
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000
and so sometimes we get so bent out of shape about what's going on up in DC
51
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
and forget the real critical pieces right where you live
52
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
right at home and starting at your own kitchen table
53
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
As you put it this morning, you coached our church well
54
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Well I didn't say it that way
55
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
I didn't say I coached our church well
56
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Okay, what did you say?
57
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Well like that, but you were able to give them good advice
58
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
That sounds like I'm patting myself on the back
59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
No, no, no, no, you were guiding them
60
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:57,000
and helping people see what's really going on in America
61
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
and where we came from, how far we've gone
62
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
and I believe that's what a good coach does though
63
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Thank you
64
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
You're not taking credit but you learn things
65
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
and then you were able to disclose those things to our people
66
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
I mean when you look around at our church, when you took a poll
67
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
to see how many people had already voted
68
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,000
and we would say probably 90-95% of our people before election day
69
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
it was unbelievable, unbelievable
70
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
I'd say two weeks ago I took that poll, informal of course
71
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
I just asked for a show of hands in both services
72
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
How many of you have already voted?
73
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
So two weeks ago, two Sundays ago, it was about 80%
74
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
I ask others, what did you see?
75
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
I'm seeing from up there and everyone I talked to said it had to be 80%
76
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
We did it this Sunday and it had to be over 90%
77
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,000
It had to be
78
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000
I literally didn't see anybody not raise their hand
79
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
I turned around and I saw a couple of people
80
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000
and I don't think they're people that wouldn't vote
81
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000
I think they just believe strongly in voting on the day
82
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
There were people who waited until the day
83
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,000
With what happened in Arizona in the last election
84
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
where guys like Charlie Kirk who's such a big voice
85
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
and such a massive influencer was told he couldn't vote
86
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
because the machines were glitching
87
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000
I'm going to eat your summer sausage
88
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
You go right ahead, you enjoy yourself
89
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Wow, yeah, we'll hear everything you're doing right now
90
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,000
I'm hungry
91
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
You are starving, you're eating on our podcast
92
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Adam and Tina, drink on theirs
93
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
I'm eating and having coffee
94
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
I'm going to drink coffee for sure
95
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000
We had such a sweet evening last night
96
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Let's just talk a little bit about that
97
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000
We got to hang out with our best friends
98
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Our best friend, you can't even talk, you've got a full mouth
99
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,000
I do
100
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Tina and I and a lot of the girls from church
101
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
all decided to go out to dinner
102
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000
just to kind of get our mind off so that we're not just glued to the TV
103
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
and talk girl stuff and it was just wonderful
104
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
and you and Adam went out and had a nice dinner at Hill and Vine
105
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000
and enjoyed yourself
106
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Then we came back, we met each other back about 8.30
107
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Normally we'd go home
108
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
but this was kind of a big day for America
109
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000
I kind of think it was
110
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,000
but we only watched a little bit
111
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
and that was the first time I had seen anything all day
112
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,000
because I didn't watch
113
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
I didn't look at anything all day yesterday
114
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
because when you're looking at the news
115
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
there's so much optics and posturing and chest beating
116
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
and just ridiculous
117
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:43,000
so I had an actually really peaceful and really God-oriented day yesterday
118
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
I want to tell a little bit about what happened yesterday morning
119
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
but I want to finish this conversation
120
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
but first of all just to say how blessed we are to have Adam and Tina in our lives
121
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000
our friends
122
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
and just that we can go through hard things together
123
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
hard things in our country together
124
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
and keep each other encouraged
125
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,000
keep each other looking up
126
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
instead of always just getting down on the negative and seeing the hard stuff
127
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
because there are hard things happening around the world right now
128
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
and yet we're able to encourage one another
129
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000
enjoy an evening out
130
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
we ate steaks, that was amazing
131
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Rabbi, thank you
132
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000
and Whitney was a jewel who waited on us at Hill and Vine
133
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
we love Hill and Vine and appreciate them
134
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
but just such a good time
135
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
I thought the restaurant would be empty
136
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
I thought it would be like a home football game
137
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000
where nobody's in the restaurant during the football game
138
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
I literally thought
139
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
but the place was packed
140
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,000
I was surprised
141
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,000
she was surprised
142
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,000
I think people
143
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
a lot of people just wanted to wait until a little bit later
144
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000
because really you don't know anything before then
145
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,000
it's all speculation
146
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,000
and it's just listening to newscasters do their thing
147
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Tina was right
148
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
she made a comment that I thought was really funny
149
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
she said this is like the Super Bowl for newscasters
150
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
and for news programs and news outlets
151
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,000
whereas hurricanes are like the Super Bowl for Joe Cantori
152
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
meteorologists
153
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
the weather channels like losing their mind
154
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,000
they're so excited
155
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
they're trying to not look like they're excited about it
156
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
but it comes through
157
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,000
and it's the same way
158
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
so we were at Adam's
159
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,000
and Tina's they pulled up
160
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Adam pulled up on TV
161
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,000
we bounced back and forth from Fox to CNN to MSNBC
162
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
just to see the mood and the tone
163
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
it was fascinating
164
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
it's such a sociological study in human behavior
165
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
looking at the different slants and vents
166
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Fox was all hyper and excited
167
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
and then all the way on the other end of the spectrum
168
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,000
MSNBC
169
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,000
they were all depressed
170
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
you could tell around their panel
171
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,000
their countenance was so different
172
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
it was a giveaway
173
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000
they were like
174
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000
this doesn't look good for us
175
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,000
it was obvious
176
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
but it was really cool though
177
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000
hanging out with people who have a good footing
178
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
their heads not in the clouds
179
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Adam and Tina
180
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
they're both sound good thinkers
181
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
and then to be able to process
182
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
what we were seeing early on
183
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
we went home
184
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
and I was so tired
185
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
because I had an emo day
186
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,000
an emotional day
187
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,000
but it was good
188
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,000
but it was heavy
189
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
so I went home very tired last night
190
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,000
and I was like out
191
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
you were
192
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000
I mean boom
193
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
I was in La La Land quickly
194
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000
you were
195
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,000
I went to sleep fairly quickly after you did
196
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,000
but then my mind just kept going
197
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
I would wake up
198
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,000
and just start thinking
199
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
okay I wonder what's going on
200
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,000
I wonder what's going on
201
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,000
because you know
202
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
four years ago
203
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
it was quite a different story
204
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,000
very much so
205
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,000
and it looked like he was going to win
206
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
and everybody just goes to bed and thinks
207
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,000
oh and then
208
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
woo things change at the last minute
209
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000
so we just didn't want that to happen again
210
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000
and then I remember the prior four years
211
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,000
you know waking up
212
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
and hearing that Trump won
213
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000
and that was
214
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000
it was such a wonderful feeling to know
215
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
that's how I felt this morning
216
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
yeah
217
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,000
you know one of the slogans
218
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
that was being thrown around
219
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,000
which I actually liked was
220
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
too big to rig
221
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000
yes I heard that quite often
222
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,000
it's just got to be too big to rig
223
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
and that's exactly what happened
224
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,000
so it's going to be interesting
225
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
I mean I woke up praying for safety
226
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
over the whole team
227
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000
me too
228
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000
over all of them
229
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,000
all of the
230
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,000
not just Trump and his own family
231
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
but everyone around that
232
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,000
but there would just be safety
233
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000
and just
234
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
you know a healthy transition
235
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000
I mean
236
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
we got a couple of months here to kind of
237
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
wade through some hard waters
238
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000
but still
239
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
the future looks bright
240
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000
and things look hopeful
241
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,000
at least for the next four years
242
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
we have a life raft
243
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
but our work has just begun
244
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000
to me this is the kickoff
245
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
it's just begun
246
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
because we need to
247
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
help people win graciously
248
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
we need to help them understand that
249
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000
this is
250
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,000
we're not done here
251
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,000
this is just the beginning
252
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
God has given us a chance to
253
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
turn America around
254
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000
and we need to live by Biblical principles
255
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
and it doesn't mean we just kind of let our
256
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,000
guard down
257
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
that means we need to keep our guard up
258
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,000
because there is a real enemy that wants to take us all out
259
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
and take Donald out
260
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
which that's where I'm praying
261
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,000
you mean President Trump
262
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
President Trump sorry
263
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
just like you said
264
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,000
we need to pray for them
265
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
but we also need to pray for
266
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,000
this is where I've been all week
267
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
is praying for the administration
268
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000
period
269
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000
for salvation
270
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
whether it's Biden, Harris
271
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000
you know, Waltz
272
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,000
absolutely agree
273
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
anybody
274
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
we need their eyes to be opened
275
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,000
and them to be awakened to who Christ is
276
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,000
and continue to pray for Donald Trump
277
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
because he needs to
278
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
I heard that he said
279
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
I'm not your savior
280
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,000
there is only one savior
281
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,000
and it's Jesus Christ
282
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000
I didn't hear that
283
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
but when I heard several people say that
284
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,000
to me
285
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
that blessed me so much
286
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
and we just need him to keep that posture
287
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000
because he is not our savior
288
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000
but he is going to make some policies
289
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000
that I believe God will be proud of
290
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,000
and so
291
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
but we need to continue to pray for him
292
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
something I totally agree
293
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
then we need to cover
294
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
cover all the administrations
295
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
everything in prayer
296
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
I said something on Sunday
297
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,000
I think is really important
298
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
and it was a repeat of something
299
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
one of my football coaches said years ago
300
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,000
or maybe it might have been
301
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Coach Reynolds in basketball
302
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,000
but he said this
303
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,000
he said
304
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
when we win
305
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
we win with class
306
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,000
and when we lose
307
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
we lose with class
308
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
and I've been coaching and teaching our church
309
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,000
listen
310
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
see you're using the word coach
311
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,000
it's okay
312
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,000
no, no
313
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,000
coaching
314
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,000
that wasn't what I was saying
315
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
you said
316
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
I said I coached our church well
317
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,000
I did not use that word
318
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,000
well you didn't say it like that
319
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
I never want to come off as
320
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,000
no, you won't say that
321
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,000
but I will say it
322
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
well thank you
323
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,000
I can say it
324
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,000
I appreciate it
325
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000
because you did
326
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000
I receive it as a compliment
327
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,000
you helped
328
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
open the eyes of the people
329
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
whose eyes may have been shut
330
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000
you know I just said that
331
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Mike True just wrote
332
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,000
I love Mike
333
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,000
he's new to our church
334
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,000
he said
335
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,000
he just wrote me
336
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000
winning with class
337
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,000
feels pretty darn great
338
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
praise God
339
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,000
for his infinite grace
340
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
my phone has been blowing up
341
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
is blowing up as we speak
342
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
just off the chain
343
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,000
but these are people
344
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000
that we've walked with
345
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000
for years together
346
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,000
some of them
347
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,000
well Mike's do
348
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,000
we've all been praying
349
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,000
but we've all been praying
350
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,000
and they've walked through
351
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,000
this season of praying
352
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,000
for our nation
353
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
and the whole heart of this
354
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
in fact let me just write
355
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000
this is something I shared
356
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
with a group of Remnant Alliance pastors
357
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
I'm on a text group with them
358
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,000
and I wrote this
359
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,000
our pulpits will thunder
360
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000
with gratitude
361
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
and the resolve to roll up our sleeves
362
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
stay the course
363
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
and get on with the hard
364
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
and joyful work of restoration
365
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000
and returning to our foundations of faith
366
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
and our founding fathers
367
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,000
original intent
368
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
we get to do this
369
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000
and that's really
370
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,000
that's kind of what
371
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,000
you were getting to
372
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,000
we don't just drop our guard
373
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,000
in fact
374
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
I've learned this the hard way
375
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000
as I've gotten older
376
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
is that
377
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000
we tend to be most vulnerable
378
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,000
after a win
379
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,000
that's true
380
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
and the enemy loves to come in
381
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000
after a win
382
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
and just
383
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
just wreak havoc
384
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,000
and because we kind of drop our guards
385
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,000
we're like oh
386
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
we worked so hard
387
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
we won the game
388
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
but to me
389
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
we didn't win the game yet
390
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000
this is the kickoff
391
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,000
this is like the coin
392
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,000
the elections
393
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000
the coin toss
394
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
the kickoff will be January
395
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,000
when he actually steps in
396
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,000
and takes office
397
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
that's the kickoff
398
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000
and he's making the policies
399
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
he promises he'll make
400
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,000
which we know he'll do
401
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
which he did before
402
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
so we don't have a record of him
403
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
breaking his promises
404
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,000
so we're
405
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
we just need to continue to pray
406
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,000
you know
407
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,000
I think for me
408
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
for him
409
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,000
because of his age
410
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,000
we need to pray
411
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000
for his mind
412
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,000
yes
413
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
and that it will stay sharp
414
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,000
and that
415
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000
yeah
416
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,000
because that
417
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
it is kind of nerve wracking
418
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
to have
419
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
you know
420
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
an older president like this
421
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,000
but
422
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
so we need to
423
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
we have history now
424
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000
with Joe Biden
425
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,000
and I'm not putting Joe Biden down
426
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000
when I even say
427
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,000
or President Biden
428
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,000
when I say
429
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,000
and talk
430
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,000
I try not to be disparaging
431
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000
because there's a part
432
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
it can come across that way
433
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000
it can come across
434
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
just because of how we all feel
435
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
about this administration
436
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000
but there's a very real part of me
437
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,000
that feels sorry for him
438
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,000
in the sense that
439
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000
there are things slipping
440
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
and even more so lately
441
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,000
even though he made
442
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,000
the comment about
443
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000
you know
444
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,000
anyone who votes for Trump
445
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,000
is garbage
446
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000
he's not even in his right mind
447
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,000
which is sad
448
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
because we have two more months
449
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,000
you know Ronald Reagan
450
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
the same thing happened to him
451
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000
and towards the end of his presidency
452
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
and he began to falter
453
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,000
and have memory loss
454
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,000
and have issues
455
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,000
with his thinking
456
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,000
and you know it's a tragedy
457
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,000
it's hard
458
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,000
it's hard
459
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,000
and so anyway
460
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,000
I don't wish ill will
461
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
I'm praying for the salvation
462
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
for even those that I've been
463
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000
verbally frustrated about
464
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,000
in terms of saying
465
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,000
this platform is dark
466
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
and even in some cases evil
467
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,000
but I will not cease to pray for them
468
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,000
we have to
469
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000
and pray for good things
470
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
I mean the Bible talks about
471
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,000
praying for our enemies
472
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
and they really are our enemies
473
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,000
they talk
474
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000
talk and try
475
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,000
talk and trash
476
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
a lot of garbage
477
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,000
about us
478
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,000
but we
479
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,000
you know
480
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,000
instead of talking back
481
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
that way to them
482
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,000
or about them
483
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,000
we have got to come to the terms
484
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,000
that we're not going to go
485
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,000
that low
486
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
that we have to be Christians in this
487
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,000
and Christians
488
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,000
you know
489
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
have to turn the other cheek
490
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,000
it doesn't mean you vote
491
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,000
for someone like that
492
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,000
it means you turn the other cheek
493
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000
and you pray for them
494
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,000
you know
495
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Rebecca Alonzo was here this weekend
496
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,000
yeah talk a little bit about
497
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,000
about the Wibbitt's Conference
498
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
because that was amazing
499
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000
it was phenomenal
500
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,000
she wrote a book
501
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
an autobiography
502
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
many years ago
503
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
called The Devil in Pew number 7
504
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,000
we talked about it
505
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,000
I believe on our last show
506
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,000
that she was coming
507
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000
we had about 130 women there
508
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
and she talked about
509
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
what happened in her life as a child
510
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,000
when she was 7 years old
511
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,000
for 4 or 7 years of her life
512
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000
her first 7 years
513
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,000
a man in the church terrorized her family
514
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000
because her mom and dad
515
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,000
her dad was a pastor
516
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,000
he was an evangelist
517
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,000
who became a pastor of a church
518
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,000
in Sellers Town
519
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
and he harassed
520
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
he set bombs around their house
521
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,000
he shot out windows in their house
522
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,000
well I shouldn't say he did
523
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
he had his goonies
524
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
is how she puts it
525
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
because he was very wealthy
526
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,000
he was the commissioner
527
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,000
yeah he would hire
528
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
of the town
529
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
and he pretty much owned the whole town
530
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000
and he would lend money to farmers
531
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,000
for their needs
532
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,000
and if they couldn't pay him back
533
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
he would take their whole farm from them
534
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
he was just a cruel and mean man
535
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
but what I love about her story
536
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,000
is her parents
537
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
instead of leaving the town
538
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
after 7 years of terrorism
539
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
instead of leaving
540
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
they prayed for him
541
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,000
and two of his kids
542
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
I think she said he had 9 kids
543
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
two of his kids actually got saved
544
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
and they had vacations together
545
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
with those two kids
546
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
which is absolutely crazy
547
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,000
older kids
548
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
but they ended up praying
549
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
well the tragedy was
550
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000
there was a woman in their church
551
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000
that was best friends with Rebecca's mom
552
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000
and she was being abused by her husband
553
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
and she came to Rebecca's mom
554
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
and wanted to stay with them
555
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
actually Rebecca's mom offered her
556
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
to come stay with them for safety
557
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
which I don't think I would have thought
558
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,000
that would have been a safe place
559
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
knowing bombs were going off
560
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000
but she loved Rebecca's mom
561
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,000
and chose to do that
562
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
well this man, Mr. Watts
563
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,000
got a word that the husband
564
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,000
his wife came and lived with them
565
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
and so he planted a seed in there
566
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000
that you should go kill them
567
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
because he knew he was an alcoholic
568
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000
he knew he was violent
569
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,000
and so he did
570
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
and he went and he literally shot
571
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Rebecca's mom to death
572
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000
and shot her dad
573
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
he ended up living
574
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
but he had PTSD
575
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
and major mental illness from it
576
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
what I learned from her story though
577
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000
is the power of forgiveness
578
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
and the power of praying for people
579
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,000
who are not in their right mind
580
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
they're cruel
581
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
they don't make right decisions
582
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
and because she was here this weekend
583
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,000
before the election
584
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,000
I began to think about this election
585
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
which is when I kind of started to change
586
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
my views about things
587
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
yeah am I upset about the way things
588
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,000
have happened for four years
589
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000
yes, do I agree with all the policies
590
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000
no, but in hearing her story
591
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
it reminded me that God forgave us
592
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
when we were not in our right minds
593
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000
no doubt
594
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,000
you know what I'm saying
595
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,000
yes
596
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,000
and here even though this man
597
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,000
used other people to do his work
598
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
which was to kill this family
599
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
they chose to forgive
600
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
and even Rebecca and her brother
601
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
who were the only ones left
602
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,000
the dad ended up dying seven years later
603
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,000
you've got to get this book
604
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000
The Devil and Pew Number 7
605
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,000
it's fabulous
606
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,000
but they chose to walk in forgiveness
607
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
the result of it
608
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,000
the result was Mr. Watts
609
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,000
when Rebecca was a teenager
610
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
called her and said
611
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
and she had to go to trial at eight years of age
612
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000
and talk about everything that had happened
613
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000
but the result was Mr. Watts
614
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,000
contacting Rebecca and her brother
615
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
and asking
616
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000
he said I have one question for you
617
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,000
and she thought he was in prison
618
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
but he had just gotten out
619
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
he had only gone to prison for one year
620
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
for what he did which was sad
621
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,000
but he said will you forgive me
622
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000
he said all those years of going to church
623
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000
and harassing your dad
624
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000
I didn't know Jesus
625
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,000
but I go to prison and I found Jesus
626
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
would you forgive me
627
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,000
I'm going to cry
628
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:24,000
because that's a result of them walking out forgiveness
629
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000
and she said Mr. Watts
630
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000
we forgave you a long time ago
631
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000
he ended up going to heaven
632
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000
a little bit later
633
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,000
and I'm thinking wow
634
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
and she even called
635
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000
she even said
636
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,000
I'm sure my parents are welcoming him in heaven
637
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000
because even though they died
638
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,000
from the bullets that he produced
639
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000
they prayed for him
640
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000
and so for them it was a win
641
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,000
even though it wasn't a win physically at home
642
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
that just literally tore me
643
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,000
I've heard her story
644
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,000
I've traveled with her as she has told this story
645
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
I've read the book over and over
646
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,000
but for some reason this weekend it really got to me
647
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:20,000
and then Dr. Phil's office called Rebecca
648
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000
and asked if she and her brother
649
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,000
would come on the show
650
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
because the man who actually killed her mom
651
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000
he was going to have him on the show
652
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,000
and he wanted them to talk together
653
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,000
and Rebecca and her brother went to the show
654
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
and they had a Bible
655
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000
they bought a Bible
656
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,000
they inscribed and engraved with his name on it
657
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,000
and gave it to him after the show
658
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
and forgave him
659
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000
and it just to me
660
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
if they can forgive
661
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
and they've lost both their parents
662
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
they've lost their childhood
663
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
I think her brother was like three years old or something
664
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000
and she was eight
665
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
give me a break
666
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
they've lost everything
667
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000
that are dear to us
668
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000
and yet they forgave
669
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,000
we have to forgive this administration
670
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
that has done this to America
671
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,000
and we have to live as Christians
672
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,000
we need to pray
673
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,000
and not cease in praying
674
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
for those that are not awakened yet
675
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
that's kind of what I got out
676
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
in fact she asked all of the women that were there
677
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
to write down on a piece of paper
678
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000
who we need to forgive
679
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,000
what we need to forgive
680
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,000
I couldn't think of anything until afterwards
681
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,000
I couldn't think of anyone that I have not literally walked
682
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,000
in forgiveness with
683
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
until afterwards when she left
684
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
and the Lord said
685
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
you need to talk
686
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
you need to pray about this administration
687
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,000
and all those people that need Jesus
688
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
don't stop praying just because a new
689
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
if a new administration comes in
690
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
keep them
691
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
before me
692
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
do you know what I'm saying?
693
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
to me that's
694
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,000
it sounds biblical
695
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,000
it does
696
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,000
can I share the scripture?
697
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,000
yes absolutely
698
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
so you can get a drink of your coffee there
699
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Matthew 5 43 to 45
700
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Jesus says this
701
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
you have heard that it was said you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy
702
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
but I say to you
703
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,000
love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you
704
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,000
so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven
705
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,000
I mean come on
706
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
it doesn't get any clearer than that
707
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,000
exactly it's clear
708
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000
but the problem is too many Christians
709
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,000
they don't know the Bible
710
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,000
and they
711
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
so they don't know how to walk that out
712
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
or they know it but they can't
713
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,000
because the enemy has just put a filter
714
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
you know on their mind and their heart
715
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,000
and have hardened their hearts towards people who
716
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000
have hurt or persecuted us
717
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,000
and I literally that's what I walked away with
718
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
because I said Lord
719
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
is there anyone that I have not forgiven
720
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
that I'm just walking in hatred that I feel
721
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
this contempt for
722
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
I couldn't I literally couldn't think of anybody at the time
723
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000
that's freedom
724
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000
it is
725
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,000
that is freedom
726
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
because I've walked through freedom so much
727
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
I've had to walk through forgiveness because
728
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,000
I had
729
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
I had to come to a realization
730
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000
of my own state
731
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
when God forgave me
732
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,000
and I could I could
733
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000
I can't even describe
734
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000
the gratitude I feel for what he's done for me
735
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,000
and what he wants to do for everyone
736
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000
everyone
737
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,000
absolutely
738
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000
he wants everyone will be calling on the name of the Lord
739
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,000
when he comes back
740
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,000
everyone
741
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
whether they repent
742
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000
and say and really believe he is Lord
743
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,000
but everyone will know he is Lord when he comes back
744
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
and so
745
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,000
so to me
746
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,000
I felt like
747
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000
her timing of coming was
748
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000
I need to up my prayers for
749
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,000
the administration for the current
750
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,000
the new one coming in for anyone that is running our government
751
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,000
making decisions for America
752
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,000
that their eyes will be open that they will turn to Christ
753
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,000
because he is king
754
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
and here's another piece of that that I want to add to that
755
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000
because I think you're this is where you start right
756
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
because those are the ones that are more obvious and blatant
757
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,000
because
758
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,000
there are people driving platforms
759
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:42,000
that that are so contrary to our biblical worldview
760
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,000
so they that tends to alienate us
761
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000
yes but not only that there
762
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
we have neighbors in our neighborhood
763
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
we have people that we
764
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
I've been praying for those neighborhood
765
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000
those neighbors that have the Harris
766
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
signs
767
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
one in particular on our block
768
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
praying for their eyes to be open
769
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000
because I love them I don't hate them
770
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
and that's the thing I'm resisting right now
771
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000
is being angry with
772
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
because if you listen to all the new stuff
773
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,000
and you just feed on this negativity
774
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
you can begin to just
775
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
you see a sign that's not the color of yours
776
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
and you just have this reaction this this visceral reaction
777
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
I am so trying to fight that
778
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
because I do not
779
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000
you know one nation under God right
780
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000
right we're supposed to be one nation under God indivisible
781
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
you know and these not dividable
782
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000
because you know
783
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,000
divided we I mean
784
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,000
divided we fall
785
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
united we stand divided we fall
786
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
yes I mean if we cannot do this thing together
787
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,000
and so one of my prayers over this next term
788
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000
is of course there's going to be reactions
789
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,000
in the short term right we know that's going to happen to some degree
790
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000
I think less than what people are expecting but we'll see
791
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,000
whatever that is I hope we can all get past that
792
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,000
I just I know the divide is intentional
793
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000
the enemies you know tactic is divide and conquer right
794
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,000
it is so our prayer let me read this Jesus said in Luke 23 34
795
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,000
and Jesus said father forgive them
796
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
for they don't know what they're doing
797
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Mark 11 25 whenever you stand praying if you have anything against anyone
798
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:29,000
forgive him that your father in heaven may also forgive you
799
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,000
your trespasses
800
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Romans 12 14
801
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
bless those who persecute you
802
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
bless and do not curse them
803
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000
I mean it just goes on and on Ephesians 432
804
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,000
and be kind to one another tender hearted forgiving one another
805
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000
even as God in Christ forgave you
806
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,000
and there's endless there's so many scriptures about this
807
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,000
and it's so the heart of God
808
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000
and for Jesus to be hanging on a cross
809
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,000
beaten bloodied and knowing that his own disciples
810
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,000
were going to be beaten and bloodied and knowing
811
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,000
the future of the early church especially the persecution
812
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,000
they were going to endure he still says father forgive them
813
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,000
they don't even know what they're doing
814
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,000
and we're supposed to imitate him
815
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
we're supposed to the whole point of
816
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:22,000
of knowing Jesus is about a relationship
817
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,000
I know the closer I get to my friends
818
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
the more I kind of act like them
819
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,000
you know what I'm saying
820
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
it's like we go back to junior high middle school
821
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000
we began to like the same things we buy
822
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,000
they're the same clothes
823
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Tina I'll just say this every time
824
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
you know Tina and I go shopping we both like the same thing
825
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
we end up buying a lot of the same things
826
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,000
I was buying on her jacket last night going
827
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,000
I want this jacket
828
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,000
I've got it
829
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000
and I was like just give it to me
830
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,000
she goes no it's too big for you
831
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,000
I'm like okay well I have to have it
832
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,000
but that's how we are
833
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,000
when we get close to someone we begin
834
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
I mean like you and I we're so close
835
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
we almost look alike now in a way
836
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
I'm just kidding it's a joke
837
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,000
it's a joke
838
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,000
because it was funny because Rebecca
839
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
when she was sitting next to me at church
840
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
and I was sitting really close to you
841
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,000
and I was kind of getting closer
842
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,000
and she was like okay do y'all need to get a room or something
843
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
it was hilarious
844
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
I nearly snorted my coffee when you said that
845
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,000
but it's because we're so close
846
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,000
we think alike
847
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,000
you've become you went from the gray area
848
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
to the black and white area
849
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,000
that is true
850
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,000
you used to be all gray
851
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000
I'm much more black and white than I used to be
852
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,000
all black and white
853
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,000
no kidding
854
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
now I'm getting a little bit more gray
855
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
but you're getting a little bit more black and white
856
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
because we spend time together
857
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,000
this is the evidence
858
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,000
of when we spend time with Christ
859
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
we will imitate Him
860
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,000
the evidence of it is we will look like Him
861
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,000
so we need to learn about Jesus
862
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,000
I say read everything Jesus wrote in the New Testament
863
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000
so you can know who Jesus is
864
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,000
so the way I put it and I've always said this
865
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000
read the red and pray for the power
866
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,000
exactly
867
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,000
spend time
868
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,000
I read a proverb a day
869
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,000
that's become such a just my go-to
870
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000
but I actually was thinking
871
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,000
I need to read the Gospels again
872
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,000
I need to balance that out with the Gospels
873
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
so I'm going to start going back through the Gospels
874
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
probably start with the Gospel of John
875
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,000
I know you're going to say John
876
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000
you always tell people start with John
877
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,000
gosh I've really grown fond of Luke
878
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,000
by going through the book of Acts
879
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,000
it's really gotten me
880
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,000
so I may do Luke
881
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,000
probably Luke
882
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,000
maybe that is how you get to know who He is
883
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
and then we imitate Him
884
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000
and when we don't
885
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,000
when we get in our flesh
886
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000
and we begin to go back to the way we used to do things
887
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
before salvation
888
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000
I just think He weeps for us
889
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000
like gosh they forgot
890
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,000
they don't remember
891
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,000
and He's trying to change our heart
892
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
because that's the whole point of salvation
893
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000
is we are a new creation, a new creature
894
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
which is the greatest miracle
895
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
to me that's a bigger miracle
896
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
than legs growing out
897
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
or knees being healed
898
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
that is the biggest miracle
899
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
the transformation of the human heart
900
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
that we don't as the church
901
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,000
see that as the biggest miracle
902
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,000
too many churches think that you need the other signs and wonders
903
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,000
and to me that's the biggest
904
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,000
and not just one time
905
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,000
people walking out there for salvation
906
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000
learning and keeping His word in their heart
907
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
that's the biggest miracle
908
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,000
because it says narrow is the road
909
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
narrow, narrow
910
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000
yeah and in Psalm 119 verse 11
911
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,000
you just reminded me
912
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000
your word have I hid in my heart
913
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
that I might not sin against you
914
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000
the power of the word being hidden
915
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
you reading it, taking it in
916
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
not only you reading the Bible
917
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,000
but the Bible reading you
918
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000
it's reading us at the same time
919
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,000
and when that happens
920
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,000
there's a massive great exchange that happens
921
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,000
and we are transformed
922
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000
from glory to glory the scripture says
923
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
one level of glory to another
924
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,000
that's when this thing gets fun
925
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
I was telling Adam at dinner last night
926
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
our discussions are basically
927
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
God, the world and other things
928
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000
literally that's the order
929
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
God, the world and other things
930
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
that's how our conversations go
931
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,000
that's why I love him as a best friend
932
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,000
because that is what our conversations center around
933
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,000
and I was saying just how
934
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
I lost my train of thought
935
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,000
I just totally bounced it
936
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000
how old are you? You're about to be
937
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,000
sorry I had to do that
938
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,000
no, anyway
939
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
it was just one of those conversations
940
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,000
where we were talking about
941
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
God, how He works in us and through us
942
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
and what a privilege it is
943
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
that we get to
944
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
oh, I realized
945
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000
being its back
946
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,000
I'm here
947
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,000
I said isn't this a great adventure?
948
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000
I love the song by Stephen Curtis Chapman
949
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
the great adventure
950
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,000
when you said that that's what came to my mind
951
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,000
I just heard that on Hello Fred
952
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,000
I mean literally
953
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,000
oh, he played it
954
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,000
yeah, it's on there
955
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,000
because I sent it to him
956
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,000
so let's talk a little bit about Hello Fred
957
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,000
because I love this idea
958
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,000
of talking about forgiveness
959
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,000
it brings freedom
960
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,000
and when you're truly forgiving people
961
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,000
and you have released that
962
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,000
it sets you free
963
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
but what does it set you free for?
964
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
it sets you free to live
965
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,000
it sets you free to be on an adventure with God
966
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,000
that's where the train of thought was going that way
967
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
so you're going to segue into Hello Fred
968
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
because this is something
969
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000
I love what Tina said
970
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000
she said I've never seen Adam this excited
971
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,000
well, and she didn't
972
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000
none of us understood what he was putting together
973
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,000
until he put it together
974
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
I did because he had been dropping it all night
975
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Tina and I didn't
976
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:56,000
and I absolutely love this project
977
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,000
we're listening to it 24-7
978
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,000
I get up in the morning
979
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000
we don't turn anything else on
980
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
it's that good
981
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,000
so explain what it is
982
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
so Hello Fred is a
983
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
for lack of a better term
984
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,000
it's like a built-in player
985
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,000
that you drop into your website
986
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,000
like if you've got
987
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,000
for example
988
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,000
you can go to bridgefbg.com
989
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,000
scroll down the page
990
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,000
and you'll see the player
991
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
and it says Godcaster
992
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,000
so he's calling it the Godcaster
993
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,000
and Hello Fred is actually a local station
994
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,000
that he's producing
995
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,000
that has all the music that we've chosen
996
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,000
I've had input on it
997
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
you had input through me on it
998
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,000
a lot of friends
999
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,000
had input on the best songs
1000
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,000
and it's also news bits
1001
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,000
things that are happening around our local community
1002
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,000
what God's up to
1003
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,000
and then he's taking clips
1004
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,000
from Pastor Brian and myself
1005
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,000
and doing those
1006
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,000
and then I'm also doing
1007
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Tina calls them Godshots
1008
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,000
I call them my daily grind
1009
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,000
the daily grind
1010
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,000
it's my daily Devo
1011
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,000
and he's running those
1012
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000
and it's all sprinkled in
1013
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,000
into this one 24-7 stream
1014
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
it's like turning on the radio
1015
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,000
to your favorite station
1016
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
and listening to all your songs
1017
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,000
and every now and then
1018
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,000
you'll get a little 22nd Devo
1019
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,000
but it's all local
1020
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,000
it's localized
1021
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:21,000
and he's playing some excerpts of our podcast
1022
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Curry and the Keeper
1023
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Curry and the Keeper
1024
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,000
her Godshots
1025
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,000
it's amazing
1026
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,000
I absolutely love it
1027
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
the only thing I asked
1028
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,000
if he was going to do
1029
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,000
which he hasn't done yet
1030
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000
but it's in the works
1031
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,000
is like when you're in the car
1032
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
and you're listening
1033
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,000
you want to know what song that is
1034
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000
yeah it's hard to shazam it
1035
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
yeah and so he is going to have the song
1036
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,000
and the writer on there
1037
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
so we're the prototype
1038
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,000
yeah I was going to say
1039
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,000
we're the guinea pig
1040
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,000
that's another nice way to say beta testers
1041
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,000
we're guinea pigs
1042
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000
so I want you to go to
1043
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
bridgefbg.com
1044
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,000
scroll down the home page there
1045
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000
and you'll see the Godcaster player
1046
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,000
and then you can click on
1047
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Hello Fred
1048
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000
and just let it run
1049
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,000
it is so cool
1050
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,000
I let it run in the background
1051
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,000
while you're working or driving
1052
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,000
and listen to it
1053
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
but we've also added some podcasts
1054
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
that are relevant to our church
1055
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
and to our faith walk
1056
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,000
and so you'll see those on there
1057
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000
we're actually adding some more
1058
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
we're going to do Jack Hibbs
1059
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,000
and Alan Jackson
1060
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,000
their podcast
1061
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
there's Kurt Kamerins is on there
1062
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,000
I love his and what he's doing
1063
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,000
and he ended up calling you recently
1064
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,000
yeah he called me and left a message
1065
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,000
which is really nice
1066
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,000
I haven't got back to him yet
1067
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
but he called me because
1068
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
I quoted his book
1069
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,000
his new book
1070
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,000
and put a slide up with his quote
1071
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,000
every week you've been doing this
1072
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,000
I know I've been using his quote
1073
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,000
because he wrote a book called
1074
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Born to Be Brave
1075
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000
fantastic book
1076
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,000
and I highly recommend it
1077
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000
but Rick Green's friends with him
1078
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,000
and Rick took a snapshot and said
1079
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,000
hey Pastor Jim
1080
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,000
he's talking about your book
1081
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
and he sent the kindness message
1082
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,000
he said give me his phone number
1083
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,000
I want to contact him
1084
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,000
super cool
1085
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000
I missed his call but anyway
1086
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000
he left a really lengthy message
1087
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,000
I was really
1088
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,000
I was very heartfelt
1089
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,000
I really appreciate it
1090
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,000
so I'm looking forward to calling him back
1091
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
or getting in touch with him
1092
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000
I want to bring him here
1093
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,000
I want to bring him here
1094
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
to talk about his book
1095
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,000
even talk about the monument
1096
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000
the way he talked about the monument
1097
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
on the biblical citizenship class
1098
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,000
how impactful that was
1099
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,000
was so impactful
1100
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
we got in our car and drove
1101
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
we got in our car and drove to the airport
1102
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,000
we flew
1103
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,000
we drove to the airport
1104
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,000
so back to the Godcaster
1105
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,000
so this is a project that
1106
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,000
that Adam's working on
1107
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,000
with two other friends of his
1108
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Dave and Gordon
1109
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,000
and they put together this amazing tool
1110
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,000
I mean if you're a business owner
1111
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
you can actually run it in your business
1112
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
and it's going to have local announcements
1113
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,000
and local news
1114
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,000
and you know
1115
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,000
hey here's what's coming up
1116
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,000
here's a community calendar
1117
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,000
it's got all of that
1118
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000
it's programmable
1119
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,000
and it is phenomenal
1120
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,000
I cannot not listen to it right now
1121
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,000
I can't either
1122
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,000
so go to Bridge
1123
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,000
and it's odd to hear your
1124
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,000
wait hold on
1125
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,000
it's odd as we're
1126
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,000
as I'm getting ready
1127
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,000
and I'm hearing
1128
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,000
you're in there
1129
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,000
getting ready with me
1130
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,000
and I'm hearing you on the radio
1131
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,000
it's unbelievable to me
1132
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,000
but it's beautiful because
1133
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,000
a radio station can use it
1134
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,000
as a widget in there
1135
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,000
on their website
1136
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
and have 24-7 things running
1137
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,000
because local radio
1138
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,000
this is sad
1139
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,000
but local radio
1140
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,000
for the most part
1141
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,000
it's going away
1142
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
but we don't want Matt Long's show to go away
1143
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,000
I know we love Matt
1144
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,000
it's beginning to fade
1145
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,000
but you know what
1146
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Matt's a show that we could
1147
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000
probably put in here as a podcast
1148
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,000
because any podcast you can actually have
1149
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,000
loaded into the player
1150
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000
so there's lots of possibilities
1151
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000
so we've loaded several things
1152
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,000
that are dear to us
1153
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,000
so you can go to bridgefbg.com
1154
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,000
scroll all the way down
1155
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000
and you can listen to
1156
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Hello Fred Live
1157
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
for 24 hours
1158
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,000
or you can listen to one of the podcasts
1159
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
so it's still in beta development
1160
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,000
so we're finding glitches
1161
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,000
or little things
1162
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000
we're fixing along the way
1163
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,000
I say we
1164
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
I'm just transferring information to Adam
1165
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,000
and he with his geniuses
1166
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,000
they do all that
1167
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000
but we're just helping by running it constantly
1168
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,000
I'm listening to it as much as possible
1169
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,000
and if I ever hear anything
1170
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,000
I just shoot him a text
1171
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
so it's really cool
1172
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000
even in the week that he's
1173
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,000
from the week when he started it to today
1174
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,000
it's like a thousand percent improved
1175
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,000
but already
1176
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,000
I mean it's amazing
1177
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,000
I'm super proud
1178
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,000
He's a genius
1179
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,000
I'm proud of Adam
1180
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,000
I'm proud of my friend
1181
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,000
I love
1182
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,000
It's for the kingdom
1183
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,000
It's for God's glory
1184
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000
I love hearing his voice throughout
1185
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,000
He'll say Hello Fred
1186
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,000
This is Hello Fred
1187
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,000
and I love that
1188
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,000
I love hearing him
1189
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,000
It does remind me of the MTV days
1190
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Does it?
1191
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,000
It really does
1192
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,000
because of his voice
1193
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,000
has it changed
1194
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,000
but it just
1195
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
when I hear him on it
1196
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,000
when I hear you
1197
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,000
when I hear Tina
1198
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,000
I'm on it
1199
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,000
You're on it?
1200
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000
I don't really like that part
1201
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,000
but I just get giddy hearing us
1202
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,000
knowing that people are going to hear
1203
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,000
the little God shots that we're all giving
1204
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
and it's just beautiful
1205
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,000
It's another way for us to get the gospel out
1206
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,000
There it is
1207
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Good news
1208
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,000
I learned the gospel through music
1209
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Living up in a down world is good news
1210
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Music is how I was drawn to the Lord
1211
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Me too
1212
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
and I love that we're using music
1213
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,000
and other things to draw people to the Lord as well
1214
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,000
I think this thing is going to go big
1215
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,000
really big
1216
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,000
He's got another meeting this morning
1217
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,000
the one yesterday
1218
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,000
with other radio stations who are starting to pick it up
1219
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Will he name it like whatever city has it
1220
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Hello Cincinnati or whatever
1221
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Well they can do what they want with it
1222
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,000
because it will be there
1223
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,000
so they can customize it to there
1224
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,000
They can put their 24 hour radio stream on it
1225
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,000
or whatever
1226
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
So he named ours Hello Fred
1227
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000
because we're in Fredersburg
1228
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,000
Because of Fred
1229
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,000
I love it
1230
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000
I'm super excited about it
1231
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,000
and just proud of him
1232
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,000
I'm proud
1233
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
It's fun to see him lit up
1234
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,000
We were both saying
1235
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,000
I've never seen him like this
1236
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
He just turned a big 6-0
1237
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,000
He leveled up
1238
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,000
I'm 62
1239
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,000
and we were just talking last night
1240
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,000
about how we feel so youthful
1241
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,000
We feel so
1242
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
We're so excited about what God's doing
1243
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
in each of our spheres of influence
1244
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,000
and what we can do together
1245
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,000
and we're talking about doing a podcast together
1246
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,000
We're starting to
1247
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,000
It's in development
1248
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Well Tina I've been talking about for a year
1249
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,000
and it hadn't happened
1250
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,000
That's on y'all
1251
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,000
You'll have to decide when you're going to do it
1252
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,000
We're waiting for God's perfect timing
1253
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,000
because the right thing at the wrong time
1254
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,000
is still the wrong thing
1255
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,000
We want it to be the right thing at the right time
1256
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,000
So it's all percolating right now
1257
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,000
and it's starting to develop
1258
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,000
but we're not rushing anything
1259
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,000
It's like God's timing is perfect
1260
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,000
So we'll be doing something
1261
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,000
probably God the world and other things
1262
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
I don't know
1263
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,000
That's for sure
1264
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Who knows
1265
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Well listen as we land the plane today
1266
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,000
First of all
1267
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Wow I think we didn't have very much energy
1268
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,000
at the beginning
1269
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,000
and then we end with all this
1270
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Well I think this is my second cup of coffee
1271
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Oh me too
1272
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,000
I just finished mine
1273
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,000
And it kicked in
1274
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,000
It did
1275
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,000
So boom I'm alive
1276
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Yeah you had a lot more energy than me
1277
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,000
I'm just going okay
1278
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,000
I'm still trying to wake up
1279
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Well I think I got really excited
1280
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,000
when you talked about Hello Fred though
1281
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:47,000
because I've never been so excited about a project as this
1282
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,000
I think it's just genius
1283
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,000
I do too
1284
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,000
I just love that
1285
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,000
I'm super fired up
1286
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Hey go to livingupinadownworld.com
1287
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,000
and if you have not signed up for our newsletter
1288
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,000
sign up for it
1289
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,000
that way we get the word out
1290
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,000
and let you know when the next podcast is coming
1291
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,000
We didn't do a podcast last week remember
1292
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Was it last week?
1293
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Yeah
1294
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,000
No we did it
1295
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,000
We did?
1296
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,000
Yes we did
1297
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,000
We skipped a week
1298
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,000
I guess we did it last week
1299
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Yeah
1300
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,000
It was the week before
1301
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Wow a lot has happened in the last week
1302
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,000
But anyway I want to say thank you to all of you
1303
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Those of you who have been contributing
1304
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Those who have been doing Boostergrams
1305
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,000
We want to say thank you
1306
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,000
Adam Curry you're always big time on the Boostergrams
1307
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,000
There's a stop at Boostergrams
1308
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,000
He always rocks our world with 77,000 sats
1309
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,000
and so appreciate that
1310
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
But also those of you that are using PayPal
1311
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,000
on our website and donating to the cause
1312
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,000
Thank you
1313
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,000
It just means the world to us
1314
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,000
We love to hear from you
1315
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,000
Write us a note
1316
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Send us
1317
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,000
You don't have to be along
1318
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,000
Don't write a book
1319
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,000
Just send a note
1320
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,000
We love to hear from you
1321
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,000
We're just excited about what God's up to
1322
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Of course we're in a good mood this morning
1323
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,000
because something we've been praying about so hard
1324
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,000
has come to pass
1325
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
but I go back to this
1326
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,000
We forgive
1327
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,000
We also win with class
1328
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,000
And we also are humbly grateful
1329
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,000
for what God's up to
1330
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,000
We feel like the future is so bright
1331
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,000
We just got to wear shades right?
1332
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
We have four years of a life raft
1333
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Well I would say four years of an opportunity
1334
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,000
You can use a life raft as good
1335
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:17,000
But I say an opportunity to turn this nation back to God
1336
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Which means the work just begins
1337
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Yeah MAGA to me means Make America Godly Again
1338
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,000
That's what we're going to do
1339
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Well God bless you
1340
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,000
We love you
1341
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,000
And we just want to say thanks for listening today
1342
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,000
And we're out of here
1343
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Have an amazing week on purpose
1344
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Go to Hello Fred on our website
1345
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,000
And check it out
1346
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,000
I know you're laughing at me
1347
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,000
When you said go to Hello Fred
1348
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,000
You know what my mind went to
1349
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,000
You are hilarious
1350
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,000
I know
1351
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,000
You're strange
1352
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,000
I love you and you're beautiful by the way
1353
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Thank you
1354
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,000
Stunning and gorgeous
1355
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,000
I think I'm ready for another cup of coffee
1356
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,000
It's starting to work
1357
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,000
Wow
1358
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Hey we love you family
1359
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Talk to you soon
1360
00:43:52,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Bye bye
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Don't get down when you're seeing the worst
2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Cause the last will be the first
3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
What a day I'm telling you
4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
All things will be new
5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Living up in a down world
6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Yeah we're living, yeah we're living
7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Living up in a down world
8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Oh!
9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
This is Jimmy and Annette and we are coming to you
10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
from the heart of our, well we always say the Texas Hill country
11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
but I don't want to sound just like Adam
12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
We're coming from the heart of Bridge Church, Fredericksburg, Texas
13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Literally the heart, we're right in the office, right in the studio
14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,000
That's right
15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,000
How are you this morning?
16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000
I am good, I'm a little tired because I didn't sleep well
17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
I think I was thinking about the election
18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
So in the middle of the night I would, is I would wake up
19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
I would look at my phone and just see
20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
and then I'm like oh wait I can't see
21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
You did that in the middle of the night?
22
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
I did while you were sleeping
23
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Wow I was out of it
24
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,000
You were out
25
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,000
I slept good last night
26
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
And then finally I woke up about 6.10 I was like
27
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Your alarm did not go off
28
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
I thought it was probably 4 or 5
29
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
And so I tried to wake you up when I saw that Trump won
30
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
and I literally, I just lost it
31
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000
I just started bawling
32
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
I know, you were crying
33
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
I was trying to wake you up, I'm in a total dead sleep
34
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
I was crying because I felt like, not because he won
35
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
but because God won
36
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
because His mercy allows us to have another four years
37
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,000
of trying to turn this, what this other administration has done
38
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,000
to America and turn it back to how it's founded
39
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
and I believe that Trump can do that
40
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
He's not our Savior obviously
41
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000
but I just cried out of gratitude that God heard our prayers
42
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
We've worked hard over the last year and a half here at the bridge
43
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000
I mean the thing is I can't affect Washington DC
44
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
but I can impact my sphere of influence
45
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
and this goes for anybody
46
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
and I love what Adam says and others say
47
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Rick Green says it too and others
48
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,000
talk about the fact that the real power for change is local
49
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
it's where you live, it's where you work and where you play
50
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000
and so sometimes we get so bent out of shape about what's going on up in DC
51
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
and forget the real critical pieces right where you live
52
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
right at home and starting at your own kitchen table
53
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
As you put it this morning, you coached our church well
54
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Well I didn't say it that way
55
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
I didn't say I coached our church well
56
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Okay, what did you say?
57
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Well like that, but you were able to give them good advice
58
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
That sounds like I'm patting myself on the back
59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
No, no, no, no, you were guiding them
60
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:57,000
and helping people see what's really going on in America
61
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
and where we came from, how far we've gone
62
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
and I believe that's what a good coach does though
63
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Thank you
64
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
You're not taking credit but you learn things
65
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
and then you were able to disclose those things to our people
66
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
I mean when you look around at our church, when you took a poll
67
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
to see how many people had already voted
68
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,000
and we would say probably 90-95% of our people before election day
69
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
it was unbelievable, unbelievable
70
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
I'd say two weeks ago I took that poll, informal of course
71
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
I just asked for a show of hands in both services
72
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
How many of you have already voted?
73
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
So two weeks ago, two Sundays ago, it was about 80%
74
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
I ask others, what did you see?
75
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000
I'm seeing from up there and everyone I talked to said it had to be 80%
76
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
We did it this Sunday and it had to be over 90%
77
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,000
It had to be
78
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000
I literally didn't see anybody not raise their hand
79
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
I turned around and I saw a couple of people
80
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000
and I don't think they're people that wouldn't vote
81
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000
I think they just believe strongly in voting on the day
82
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
There were people who waited until the day
83
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,000
With what happened in Arizona in the last election
84
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
where guys like Charlie Kirk who's such a big voice
85
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
and such a massive influencer was told he couldn't vote
86
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
because the machines were glitching
87
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000
I'm going to eat your summer sausage
88
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
You go right ahead, you enjoy yourself
89
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Wow, yeah, we'll hear everything you're doing right now
90
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,000
I'm hungry
91
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
You are starving, you're eating on our podcast
92
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Adam and Tina, drink on theirs
93
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
I'm eating and having coffee
94
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
I'm going to drink coffee for sure
95
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000
We had such a sweet evening last night
96
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Let's just talk a little bit about that
97
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000
We got to hang out with our best friends
98
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Our best friend, you can't even talk, you've got a full mouth
99
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,000
I do
100
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Tina and I and a lot of the girls from church
101
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
all decided to go out to dinner
102
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000
just to kind of get our mind off so that we're not just glued to the TV
103
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
and talk girl stuff and it was just wonderful
104
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
and you and Adam went out and had a nice dinner at Hill and Vine
105
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000
and enjoyed yourself
106
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Then we came back, we met each other back about 8.30
107
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Normally we'd go home
108
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
but this was kind of a big day for America
109
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000
I kind of think it was
110
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,000
but we only watched a little bit
111
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
and that was the first time I had seen anything all day
112
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,000
because I didn't watch
113
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
I didn't look at anything all day yesterday
114
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
because when you're looking at the news
115
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000
there's so much optics and posturing and chest beating
116
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
and just ridiculous
117
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:43,000
so I had an actually really peaceful and really God-oriented day yesterday
118
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
I want to tell a little bit about what happened yesterday morning
119
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
but I want to finish this conversation
120
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
but first of all just to say how blessed we are to have Adam and Tina in our lives
121
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000
our friends
122
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
and just that we can go through hard things together
123
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
hard things in our country together
124
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
and keep each other encouraged
125
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,000
keep each other looking up
126
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
instead of always just getting down on the negative and seeing the hard stuff
127
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
because there are hard things happening around the world right now
128
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
and yet we're able to encourage one another
129
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000
enjoy an evening out
130
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
we ate steaks, that was amazing
131
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Rabbi, thank you
132
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000
and Whitney was a jewel who waited on us at Hill and Vine
133
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
we love Hill and Vine and appreciate them
134
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
but just such a good time
135
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
I thought the restaurant would be empty
136
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000
I thought it would be like a home football game
137
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000
where nobody's in the restaurant during the football game
138
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
I literally thought
139
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
but the place was packed
140
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,000
I was surprised
141
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,000
she was surprised
142
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,000
I think people
143
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
a lot of people just wanted to wait until a little bit later
144
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000
because really you don't know anything before then
145
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,000
it's all speculation
146
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,000
and it's just listening to newscasters do their thing
147
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Tina was right
148
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
she made a comment that I thought was really funny
149
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
she said this is like the Super Bowl for newscasters
150
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
and for news programs and news outlets
151
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,000
whereas hurricanes are like the Super Bowl for Joe Cantori
152
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
meteorologists
153
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
the weather channels like losing their mind
154
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,000
they're so excited
155
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
they're trying to not look like they're excited about it
156
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
but it comes through
157
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,000
and it's the same way
158
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
so we were at Adam's
159
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,000
and Tina's they pulled up
160
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Adam pulled up on TV
161
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,000
we bounced back and forth from Fox to CNN to MSNBC
162
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
just to see the mood and the tone
163
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
it was fascinating
164
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
it's such a sociological study in human behavior
165
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
looking at the different slants and vents
166
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Fox was all hyper and excited
167
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
and then all the way on the other end of the spectrum
168
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,000
MSNBC
169
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,000
they were all depressed
170
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
you could tell around their panel
171
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,000
their countenance was so different
172
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
it was a giveaway
173
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000
they were like
174
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000
this doesn't look good for us
175
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,000
it was obvious
176
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
but it was really cool though
177
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000
hanging out with people who have a good footing
178
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
their heads not in the clouds
179
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Adam and Tina
180
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
they're both sound good thinkers
181
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
and then to be able to process
182
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
what we were seeing early on
183
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
we went home
184
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
and I was so tired
185
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
because I had an emo day
186
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,000
an emotional day
187
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,000
but it was good
188
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,000
but it was heavy
189
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
so I went home very tired last night
190
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,000
and I was like out
191
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
you were
192
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,000
I mean boom
193
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
I was in La La Land quickly
194
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000
you were
195
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,000
I went to sleep fairly quickly after you did
196
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,000
but then my mind just kept going
197
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
I would wake up
198
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,000
and just start thinking
199
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
okay I wonder what's going on
200
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,000
I wonder what's going on
201
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,000
because you know
202
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
four years ago
203
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
it was quite a different story
204
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,000
very much so
205
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,000
and it looked like he was going to win
206
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
and everybody just goes to bed and thinks
207
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,000
oh and then
208
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
woo things change at the last minute
209
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,000
so we just didn't want that to happen again
210
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000
and then I remember the prior four years
211
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,000
you know waking up
212
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
and hearing that Trump won
213
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,000
and that was
214
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000
it was such a wonderful feeling to know
215
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
that's how I felt this morning
216
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
yeah
217
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,000
you know one of the slogans
218
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
that was being thrown around
219
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,000
which I actually liked was
220
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
too big to rig
221
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000
yes I heard that quite often
222
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,000
it's just got to be too big to rig
223
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
and that's exactly what happened
224
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,000
so it's going to be interesting
225
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
I mean I woke up praying for safety
226
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
over the whole team
227
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000
me too
228
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000
over all of them
229
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,000
all of the
230
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,000
not just Trump and his own family
231
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
but everyone around that
232
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,000
but there would just be safety
233
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000
and just
234
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
you know a healthy transition
235
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000
I mean
236
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
we got a couple of months here to kind of
237
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
wade through some hard waters
238
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000
but still
239
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
the future looks bright
240
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000
and things look hopeful
241
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,000
at least for the next four years
242
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
we have a life raft
243
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
but our work has just begun
244
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000
to me this is the kickoff
245
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
it's just begun
246
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
because we need to
247
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
help people win graciously
248
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
we need to help them understand that
249
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000
this is
250
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,000
we're not done here
251
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,000
this is just the beginning
252
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
God has given us a chance to
253
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
turn America around
254
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000
and we need to live by Biblical principles
255
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
and it doesn't mean we just kind of let our
256
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,000
guard down
257
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,000
that means we need to keep our guard up
258
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,000
because there is a real enemy that wants to take us all out
259
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
and take Donald out
260
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
which that's where I'm praying
261
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,000
you mean President Trump
262
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
President Trump sorry
263
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
just like you said
264
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,000
we need to pray for them
265
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
but we also need to pray for
266
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,000
this is where I've been all week
267
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
is praying for the administration
268
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000
period
269
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000
for salvation
270
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
whether it's Biden, Harris
271
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000
you know, Waltz
272
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,000
absolutely agree
273
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
anybody
274
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
we need their eyes to be opened
275
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,000
and them to be awakened to who Christ is
276
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,000
and continue to pray for Donald Trump
277
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
because he needs to
278
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
I heard that he said
279
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
I'm not your savior
280
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,000
there is only one savior
281
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,000
and it's Jesus Christ
282
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000
I didn't hear that
283
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
but when I heard several people say that
284
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,000
to me
285
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,000
that blessed me so much
286
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
and we just need him to keep that posture
287
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000
because he is not our savior
288
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000
but he is going to make some policies
289
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000
that I believe God will be proud of
290
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,000
and so
291
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
but we need to continue to pray for him
292
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
something I totally agree
293
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
then we need to cover
294
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
cover all the administrations
295
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,000
everything in prayer
296
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
I said something on Sunday
297
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,000
I think is really important
298
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
and it was a repeat of something
299
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
one of my football coaches said years ago
300
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,000
or maybe it might have been
301
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Coach Reynolds in basketball
302
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,000
but he said this
303
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,000
he said
304
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
when we win
305
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
we win with class
306
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,000
and when we lose
307
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
we lose with class
308
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
and I've been coaching and teaching our church
309
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,000
listen
310
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
see you're using the word coach
311
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,000
it's okay
312
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,000
no, no
313
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,000
coaching
314
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,000
that wasn't what I was saying
315
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
you said
316
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
I said I coached our church well
317
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,000
I did not use that word
318
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,000
well you didn't say it like that
319
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
I never want to come off as
320
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,000
no, you won't say that
321
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,000
but I will say it
322
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
well thank you
323
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,000
I can say it
324
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,000
I appreciate it
325
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000
because you did
326
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000
I receive it as a compliment
327
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,000
you helped
328
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
open the eyes of the people
329
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
whose eyes may have been shut
330
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000
you know I just said that
331
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Mike True just wrote
332
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,000
I love Mike
333
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,000
he's new to our church
334
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,000
he said
335
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,000
he just wrote me
336
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000
winning with class
337
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,000
feels pretty darn great
338
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
praise God
339
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,000
for his infinite grace
340
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
my phone has been blowing up
341
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
is blowing up as we speak
342
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
just off the chain
343
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,000
but these are people
344
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000
that we've walked with
345
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,000
for years together
346
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,000
some of them
347
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,000
well Mike's do
348
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,000
we've all been praying
349
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,000
but we've all been praying
350
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,000
and they've walked through
351
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,000
this season of praying
352
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,000
for our nation
353
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
and the whole heart of this
354
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,000
in fact let me just write
355
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,000
this is something I shared
356
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
with a group of Remnant Alliance pastors
357
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
I'm on a text group with them
358
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,000
and I wrote this
359
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,000
our pulpits will thunder
360
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000
with gratitude
361
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
and the resolve to roll up our sleeves
362
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,000
stay the course
363
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
and get on with the hard
364
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
and joyful work of restoration
365
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000
and returning to our foundations of faith
366
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
and our founding fathers
367
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,000
original intent
368
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
we get to do this
369
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000
and that's really
370
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,000
that's kind of what
371
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,000
you were getting to
372
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,000
we don't just drop our guard
373
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,000
in fact
374
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
I've learned this the hard way
375
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000
as I've gotten older
376
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000
is that
377
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000
we tend to be most vulnerable
378
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,000
after a win
379
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,000
that's true
380
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
and the enemy loves to come in
381
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,000
after a win
382
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
and just
383
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,000
just wreak havoc
384
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,000
and because we kind of drop our guards
385
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,000
we're like oh
386
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000
we worked so hard
387
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
we won the game
388
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
but to me
389
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
we didn't win the game yet
390
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000
this is the kickoff
391
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,000
this is like the coin
392
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,000
the elections
393
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000
the coin toss
394
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
the kickoff will be January
395
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,000
when he actually steps in
396
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,000
and takes office
397
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
that's the kickoff
398
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000
and he's making the policies
399
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
he promises he'll make
400
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,000
which we know he'll do
401
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
which he did before
402
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
so we don't have a record of him
403
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
breaking his promises
404
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,000
so we're
405
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
we just need to continue to pray
406
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,000
you know
407
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,000
I think for me
408
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
for him
409
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,000
because of his age
410
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,000
we need to pray
411
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000
for his mind
412
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,000
yes
413
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
and that it will stay sharp
414
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,000
and that
415
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000
yeah
416
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,000
because that
417
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,000
it is kind of nerve wracking
418
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
to have
419
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,000
you know
420
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
an older president like this
421
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,000
but
422
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
so we need to
423
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
we have history now
424
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000
with Joe Biden
425
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,000
and I'm not putting Joe Biden down
426
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000
when I even say
427
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,000
or President Biden
428
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,000
when I say
429
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,000
and talk
430
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,000
I try not to be disparaging
431
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,000
because there's a part
432
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
it can come across that way
433
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000
it can come across
434
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
just because of how we all feel
435
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
about this administration
436
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,000
but there's a very real part of me
437
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,000
that feels sorry for him
438
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,000
in the sense that
439
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000
there are things slipping
440
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
and even more so lately
441
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,000
even though he made
442
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,000
the comment about
443
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000
you know
444
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,000
anyone who votes for Trump
445
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,000
is garbage
446
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000
he's not even in his right mind
447
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,000
which is sad
448
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
because we have two more months
449
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,000
you know Ronald Reagan
450
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
the same thing happened to him
451
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000
and towards the end of his presidency
452
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,000
and he began to falter
453
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,000
and have memory loss
454
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,000
and have issues
455
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,000
with his thinking
456
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,000
and you know it's a tragedy
457
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,000
it's hard
458
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,000
it's hard
459
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,000
and so anyway
460
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,000
I don't wish ill will
461
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
I'm praying for the salvation
462
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000
for even those that I've been
463
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,000
verbally frustrated about
464
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,000
in terms of saying
465
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,000
this platform is dark
466
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
and even in some cases evil
467
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,000
but I will not cease to pray for them
468
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,000
we have to
469
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000
and pray for good things
470
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
I mean the Bible talks about
471
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,000
praying for our enemies
472
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
and they really are our enemies
473
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,000
they talk
474
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000
talk and try
475
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,000
talk and trash
476
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
a lot of garbage
477
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,000
about us
478
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,000
but we
479
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,000
you know
480
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,000
instead of talking back
481
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
that way to them
482
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,000
or about them
483
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,000
we have got to come to the terms
484
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,000
that we're not going to go
485
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,000
that low
486
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
that we have to be Christians in this
487
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,000
and Christians
488
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,000
you know
489
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
have to turn the other cheek
490
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,000
it doesn't mean you vote
491
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,000
for someone like that
492
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,000
it means you turn the other cheek
493
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000
and you pray for them
494
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,000
you know
495
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Rebecca Alonzo was here this weekend
496
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,000
yeah talk a little bit about
497
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,000
about the Wibbitt's Conference
498
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
because that was amazing
499
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000
it was phenomenal
500
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,000
she wrote a book
501
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
an autobiography
502
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
many years ago
503
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
called The Devil in Pew number 7
504
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,000
we talked about it
505
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,000
I believe on our last show
506
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,000
that she was coming
507
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000
we had about 130 women there
508
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
and she talked about
509
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000
what happened in her life as a child
510
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,000
when she was 7 years old
511
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,000
for 4 or 7 years of her life
512
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000
her first 7 years
513
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,000
a man in the church terrorized her family
514
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000
because her mom and dad
515
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,000
her dad was a pastor
516
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,000
he was an evangelist
517
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,000
who became a pastor of a church
518
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,000
in Sellers Town
519
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
and he harassed
520
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
he set bombs around their house
521
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,000
he shot out windows in their house
522
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,000
well I shouldn't say he did
523
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
he had his goonies
524
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
is how she puts it
525
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
because he was very wealthy
526
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,000
he was the commissioner
527
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,000
yeah he would hire
528
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
of the town
529
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
and he pretty much owned the whole town
530
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,000
and he would lend money to farmers
531
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,000
for their needs
532
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,000
and if they couldn't pay him back
533
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
he would take their whole farm from them
534
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
he was just a cruel and mean man
535
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
but what I love about her story
536
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,000
is her parents
537
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
instead of leaving the town
538
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
after 7 years of terrorism
539
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,000
instead of leaving
540
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
they prayed for him
541
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,000
and two of his kids
542
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
I think she said he had 9 kids
543
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
two of his kids actually got saved
544
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
and they had vacations together
545
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
with those two kids
546
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
which is absolutely crazy
547
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,000
older kids
548
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
but they ended up praying
549
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
well the tragedy was
550
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,000
there was a woman in their church
551
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000
that was best friends with Rebecca's mom
552
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,000
and she was being abused by her husband
553
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000
and she came to Rebecca's mom
554
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
and wanted to stay with them
555
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
actually Rebecca's mom offered her
556
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
to come stay with them for safety
557
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
which I don't think I would have thought
558
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,000
that would have been a safe place
559
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000
knowing bombs were going off
560
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000
but she loved Rebecca's mom
561
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,000
and chose to do that
562
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
well this man, Mr. Watts
563
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,000
got a word that the husband
564
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,000
his wife came and lived with them
565
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
and so he planted a seed in there
566
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000
that you should go kill them
567
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
because he knew he was an alcoholic
568
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000
he knew he was violent
569
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,000
and so he did
570
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
and he went and he literally shot
571
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Rebecca's mom to death
572
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,000
and shot her dad
573
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
he ended up living
574
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
but he had PTSD
575
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
and major mental illness from it
576
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
what I learned from her story though
577
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000
is the power of forgiveness
578
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
and the power of praying for people
579
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,000
who are not in their right mind
580
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
they're cruel
581
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
they don't make right decisions
582
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
and because she was here this weekend
583
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,000
before the election
584
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,000
I began to think about this election
585
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
which is when I kind of started to change
586
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
my views about things
587
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
yeah am I upset about the way things
588
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,000
have happened for four years
589
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000
yes, do I agree with all the policies
590
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000
no, but in hearing her story
591
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
it reminded me that God forgave us
592
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
when we were not in our right minds
593
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000
no doubt
594
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,000
you know what I'm saying
595
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,000
yes
596
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,000
and here even though this man
597
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,000
used other people to do his work
598
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
which was to kill this family
599
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
they chose to forgive
600
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
and even Rebecca and her brother
601
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
who were the only ones left
602
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,000
the dad ended up dying seven years later
603
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,000
you've got to get this book
604
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000
The Devil and Pew Number 7
605
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,000
it's fabulous
606
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,000
but they chose to walk in forgiveness
607
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
the result of it
608
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,000
the result was Mr. Watts
609
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,000
when Rebecca was a teenager
610
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
called her and said
611
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
and she had to go to trial at eight years of age
612
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000
and talk about everything that had happened
613
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000
but the result was Mr. Watts
614
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,000
contacting Rebecca and her brother
615
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
and asking
616
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000
he said I have one question for you
617
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,000
and she thought he was in prison
618
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
but he had just gotten out
619
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
he had only gone to prison for one year
620
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
for what he did which was sad
621
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,000
but he said will you forgive me
622
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000
he said all those years of going to church
623
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000
and harassing your dad
624
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000
I didn't know Jesus
625
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,000
but I go to prison and I found Jesus
626
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
would you forgive me
627
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,000
I'm going to cry
628
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:24,000
because that's a result of them walking out forgiveness
629
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000
and she said Mr. Watts
630
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000
we forgave you a long time ago
631
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000
he ended up going to heaven
632
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000
a little bit later
633
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,000
and I'm thinking wow
634
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
and she even called
635
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000
she even said
636
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,000
I'm sure my parents are welcoming him in heaven
637
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000
because even though they died
638
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,000
from the bullets that he produced
639
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000
they prayed for him
640
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000
and so for them it was a win
641
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,000
even though it wasn't a win physically at home
642
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
that just literally tore me
643
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,000
I've heard her story
644
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,000
I've traveled with her as she has told this story
645
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
I've read the book over and over
646
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,000
but for some reason this weekend it really got to me
647
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:20,000
and then Dr. Phil's office called Rebecca
648
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000
and asked if she and her brother
649
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,000
would come on the show
650
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
because the man who actually killed her mom
651
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000
he was going to have him on the show
652
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,000
and he wanted them to talk together
653
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,000
and Rebecca and her brother went to the show
654
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
and they had a Bible
655
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000
they bought a Bible
656
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,000
they inscribed and engraved with his name on it
657
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,000
and gave it to him after the show
658
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
and forgave him
659
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,000
and it just to me
660
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
if they can forgive
661
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
and they've lost both their parents
662
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
they've lost their childhood
663
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
I think her brother was like three years old or something
664
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000
and she was eight
665
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
give me a break
666
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
they've lost everything
667
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000
that are dear to us
668
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000
and yet they forgave
669
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,000
we have to forgive this administration
670
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
that has done this to America
671
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,000
and we have to live as Christians
672
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,000
we need to pray
673
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,000
and not cease in praying
674
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
for those that are not awakened yet
675
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
that's kind of what I got out
676
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
in fact she asked all of the women that were there
677
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
to write down on a piece of paper
678
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000
who we need to forgive
679
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,000
what we need to forgive
680
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,000
I couldn't think of anything until afterwards
681
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,000
I couldn't think of anyone that I have not literally walked
682
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,000
in forgiveness with
683
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
until afterwards when she left
684
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
and the Lord said
685
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
you need to talk
686
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
you need to pray about this administration
687
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,000
and all those people that need Jesus
688
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
don't stop praying just because a new
689
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
if a new administration comes in
690
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
keep them
691
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
before me
692
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
do you know what I'm saying?
693
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
to me that's
694
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,000
it sounds biblical
695
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,000
it does
696
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,000
can I share the scripture?
697
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,000
yes absolutely
698
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
so you can get a drink of your coffee there
699
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Matthew 5 43 to 45
700
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,000
Jesus says this
701
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
you have heard that it was said you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy
702
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
but I say to you
703
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,000
love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you
704
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,000
so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven
705
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,000
I mean come on
706
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
it doesn't get any clearer than that
707
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,000
exactly it's clear
708
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000
but the problem is too many Christians
709
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,000
they don't know the Bible
710
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,000
and they
711
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
so they don't know how to walk that out
712
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
or they know it but they can't
713
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,000
because the enemy has just put a filter
714
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
you know on their mind and their heart
715
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,000
and have hardened their hearts towards people who
716
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000
have hurt or persecuted us
717
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,000
and I literally that's what I walked away with
718
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
because I said Lord
719
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
is there anyone that I have not forgiven
720
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
that I'm just walking in hatred that I feel
721
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
this contempt for
722
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
I couldn't I literally couldn't think of anybody at the time
723
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000
that's freedom
724
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000
it is
725
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,000
that is freedom
726
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
because I've walked through freedom so much
727
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
I've had to walk through forgiveness because
728
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,000
I had
729
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
I had to come to a realization
730
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000
of my own state
731
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
when God forgave me
732
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,000
and I could I could
733
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000
I can't even describe
734
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,000
the gratitude I feel for what he's done for me
735
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,000
and what he wants to do for everyone
736
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000
everyone
737
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,000
absolutely
738
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000
he wants everyone will be calling on the name of the Lord
739
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,000
when he comes back
740
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,000
everyone
741
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
whether they repent
742
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000
and say and really believe he is Lord
743
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,000
but everyone will know he is Lord when he comes back
744
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
and so
745
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,000
so to me
746
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,000
I felt like
747
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000
her timing of coming was
748
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000
I need to up my prayers for
749
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,000
the administration for the current
750
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,000
the new one coming in for anyone that is running our government
751
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,000
making decisions for America
752
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,000
that their eyes will be open that they will turn to Christ
753
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,000
because he is king
754
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
and here's another piece of that that I want to add to that
755
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000
because I think you're this is where you start right
756
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
because those are the ones that are more obvious and blatant
757
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,000
because
758
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,000
there are people driving platforms
759
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:42,000
that that are so contrary to our biblical worldview
760
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,000
so they that tends to alienate us
761
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,000
yes but not only that there
762
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
we have neighbors in our neighborhood
763
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
we have people that we
764
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
I've been praying for those neighborhood
765
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000
those neighbors that have the Harris
766
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
signs
767
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
one in particular on our block
768
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
praying for their eyes to be open
769
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000
because I love them I don't hate them
770
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
and that's the thing I'm resisting right now
771
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000
is being angry with
772
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
because if you listen to all the new stuff
773
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,000
and you just feed on this negativity
774
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
you can begin to just
775
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
you see a sign that's not the color of yours
776
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
and you just have this reaction this this visceral reaction
777
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
I am so trying to fight that
778
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
because I do not
779
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000
you know one nation under God right
780
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000
right we're supposed to be one nation under God indivisible
781
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
you know and these not dividable
782
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000
because you know
783
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,000
divided we I mean
784
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,000
divided we fall
785
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
united we stand divided we fall
786
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,000
yes I mean if we cannot do this thing together
787
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,000
and so one of my prayers over this next term
788
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000
is of course there's going to be reactions
789
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,000
in the short term right we know that's going to happen to some degree
790
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000
I think less than what people are expecting but we'll see
791
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,000
whatever that is I hope we can all get past that
792
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,000
I just I know the divide is intentional
793
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000
the enemies you know tactic is divide and conquer right
794
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,000
it is so our prayer let me read this Jesus said in Luke 23 34
795
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,000
and Jesus said father forgive them
796
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
for they don't know what they're doing
797
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Mark 11 25 whenever you stand praying if you have anything against anyone
798
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:29,000
forgive him that your father in heaven may also forgive you
799
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,000
your trespasses
800
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Romans 12 14
801
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
bless those who persecute you
802
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
bless and do not curse them
803
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000
I mean it just goes on and on Ephesians 432
804
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,000
and be kind to one another tender hearted forgiving one another
805
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000
even as God in Christ forgave you
806
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,000
and there's endless there's so many scriptures about this
807
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,000
and it's so the heart of God
808
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000
and for Jesus to be hanging on a cross
809
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,000
beaten bloodied and knowing that his own disciples
810
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,000
were going to be beaten and bloodied and knowing
811
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,000
the future of the early church especially the persecution
812
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,000
they were going to endure he still says father forgive them
813
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,000
they don't even know what they're doing
814
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,000
and we're supposed to imitate him
815
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
we're supposed to the whole point of
816
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:22,000
of knowing Jesus is about a relationship
817
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,000
I know the closer I get to my friends
818
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
the more I kind of act like them
819
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,000
you know what I'm saying
820
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
it's like we go back to junior high middle school
821
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000
we began to like the same things we buy
822
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,000
they're the same clothes
823
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Tina I'll just say this every time
824
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
you know Tina and I go shopping we both like the same thing
825
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
we end up buying a lot of the same things
826
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,000
I was buying on her jacket last night going
827
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,000
I want this jacket
828
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,000
I've got it
829
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000
and I was like just give it to me
830
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,000
she goes no it's too big for you
831
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,000
I'm like okay well I have to have it
832
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,000
but that's how we are
833
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,000
when we get close to someone we begin
834
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
I mean like you and I we're so close
835
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
we almost look alike now in a way
836
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
I'm just kidding it's a joke
837
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,000
it's a joke
838
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,000
because it was funny because Rebecca
839
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
when she was sitting next to me at church
840
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
and I was sitting really close to you
841
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,000
and I was kind of getting closer
842
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,000
and she was like okay do y'all need to get a room or something
843
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
it was hilarious
844
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
I nearly snorted my coffee when you said that
845
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,000
but it's because we're so close
846
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,000
we think alike
847
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,000
you've become you went from the gray area
848
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
to the black and white area
849
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,000
that is true
850
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,000
you used to be all gray
851
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000
I'm much more black and white than I used to be
852
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,000
all black and white
853
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,000
no kidding
854
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
now I'm getting a little bit more gray
855
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
but you're getting a little bit more black and white
856
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
because we spend time together
857
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,000
this is the evidence
858
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,000
of when we spend time with Christ
859
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
we will imitate Him
860
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,000
the evidence of it is we will look like Him
861
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,000
so we need to learn about Jesus
862
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,000
I say read everything Jesus wrote in the New Testament
863
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000
so you can know who Jesus is
864
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,000
so the way I put it and I've always said this
865
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000
read the red and pray for the power
866
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,000
exactly
867
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,000
spend time
868
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,000
I read a proverb a day
869
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,000
that's become such a just my go-to
870
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000
but I actually was thinking
871
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,000
I need to read the Gospels again
872
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,000
I need to balance that out with the Gospels
873
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
so I'm going to start going back through the Gospels
874
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
probably start with the Gospel of John
875
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,000
I know you're going to say John
876
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000
you always tell people start with John
877
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,000
gosh I've really grown fond of Luke
878
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,000
by going through the book of Acts
879
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,000
it's really gotten me
880
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,000
so I may do Luke
881
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,000
probably Luke
882
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,000
maybe that is how you get to know who He is
883
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
and then we imitate Him
884
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000
and when we don't
885
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,000
when we get in our flesh
886
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000
and we begin to go back to the way we used to do things
887
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
before salvation
888
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000
I just think He weeps for us
889
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,000
like gosh they forgot
890
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,000
they don't remember
891
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,000
and He's trying to change our heart
892
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
because that's the whole point of salvation
893
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000
is we are a new creation, a new creature
894
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
which is the greatest miracle
895
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
to me that's a bigger miracle
896
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
than legs growing out
897
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
or knees being healed
898
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
that is the biggest miracle
899
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
the transformation of the human heart
900
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
that we don't as the church
901
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,000
see that as the biggest miracle
902
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,000
too many churches think that you need the other signs and wonders
903
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,000
and to me that's the biggest
904
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,000
and not just one time
905
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,000
people walking out there for salvation
906
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000
learning and keeping His word in their heart
907
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
that's the biggest miracle
908
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,000
because it says narrow is the road
909
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
narrow, narrow
910
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000
yeah and in Psalm 119 verse 11
911
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,000
you just reminded me
912
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,000
your word have I hid in my heart
913
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
that I might not sin against you
914
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000
the power of the word being hidden
915
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
you reading it, taking it in
916
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
not only you reading the Bible
917
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,000
but the Bible reading you
918
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000
it's reading us at the same time
919
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,000
and when that happens
920
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,000
there's a massive great exchange that happens
921
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,000
and we are transformed
922
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000
from glory to glory the scripture says
923
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
one level of glory to another
924
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,000
that's when this thing gets fun
925
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,000
I was telling Adam at dinner last night
926
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,000
our discussions are basically
927
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
God, the world and other things
928
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000
literally that's the order
929
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
God, the world and other things
930
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
that's how our conversations go
931
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,000
that's why I love him as a best friend
932
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,000
because that is what our conversations center around
933
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,000
and I was saying just how
934
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
I lost my train of thought
935
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,000
I just totally bounced it
936
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000
how old are you? You're about to be
937
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,000
sorry I had to do that
938
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,000
no, anyway
939
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
it was just one of those conversations
940
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,000
where we were talking about
941
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
God, how He works in us and through us
942
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
and what a privilege it is
943
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
that we get to
944
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
oh, I realized
945
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000
being its back
946
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,000
I'm here
947
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,000
I said isn't this a great adventure?
948
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000
I love the song by Stephen Curtis Chapman
949
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
the great adventure
950
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,000
when you said that that's what came to my mind
951
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,000
I just heard that on Hello Fred
952
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,000
I mean literally
953
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,000
oh, he played it
954
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,000
yeah, it's on there
955
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,000
because I sent it to him
956
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,000
so let's talk a little bit about Hello Fred
957
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,000
because I love this idea
958
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,000
of talking about forgiveness
959
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,000
it brings freedom
960
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,000
and when you're truly forgiving people
961
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,000
and you have released that
962
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,000
it sets you free
963
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
but what does it set you free for?
964
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
it sets you free to live
965
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,000
it sets you free to be on an adventure with God
966
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,000
that's where the train of thought was going that way
967
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
so you're going to segue into Hello Fred
968
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
because this is something
969
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000
I love what Tina said
970
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000
she said I've never seen Adam this excited
971
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,000
well, and she didn't
972
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000
none of us understood what he was putting together
973
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,000
until he put it together
974
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
I did because he had been dropping it all night
975
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Tina and I didn't
976
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:56,000
and I absolutely love this project
977
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,000
we're listening to it 24-7
978
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,000
I get up in the morning
979
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000
we don't turn anything else on
980
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
it's that good
981
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,000
so explain what it is
982
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
so Hello Fred is a
983
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
for lack of a better term
984
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,000
it's like a built-in player
985
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,000
that you drop into your website
986
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,000
like if you've got
987
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,000
for example
988
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,000
you can go to bridgefbg.com
989
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,000
scroll down the page
990
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,000
and you'll see the player
991
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
and it says Godcaster
992
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,000
so he's calling it the Godcaster
993
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,000
and Hello Fred is actually a local station
994
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,000
that he's producing
995
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,000
that has all the music that we've chosen
996
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,000
I've had input on it
997
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
you had input through me on it
998
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,000
a lot of friends
999
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,000
had input on the best songs
1000
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,000
and it's also news bits
1001
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,000
things that are happening around our local community
1002
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,000
what God's up to
1003
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,000
and then he's taking clips
1004
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,000
from Pastor Brian and myself
1005
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,000
and doing those
1006
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,000
and then I'm also doing
1007
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Tina calls them Godshots
1008
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,000
I call them my daily grind
1009
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,000
the daily grind
1010
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,000
it's my daily Devo
1011
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,000
and he's running those
1012
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000
and it's all sprinkled in
1013
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,000
into this one 24-7 stream
1014
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
it's like turning on the radio
1015
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,000
to your favorite station
1016
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
and listening to all your songs
1017
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,000
and every now and then
1018
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,000
you'll get a little 22nd Devo
1019
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,000
but it's all local
1020
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,000
it's localized
1021
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:21,000
and he's playing some excerpts of our podcast
1022
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Curry and the Keeper
1023
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Curry and the Keeper
1024
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,000
her Godshots
1025
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,000
it's amazing
1026
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,000
I absolutely love it
1027
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
the only thing I asked
1028
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,000
if he was going to do
1029
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,000
which he hasn't done yet
1030
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,000
but it's in the works
1031
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,000
is like when you're in the car
1032
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
and you're listening
1033
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,000
you want to know what song that is
1034
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000
yeah it's hard to shazam it
1035
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
yeah and so he is going to have the song
1036
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,000
and the writer on there
1037
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
so we're the prototype
1038
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,000
yeah I was going to say
1039
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,000
we're the guinea pig
1040
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,000
that's another nice way to say beta testers
1041
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,000
we're guinea pigs
1042
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000
so I want you to go to
1043
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
bridgefbg.com
1044
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,000
scroll down the home page there
1045
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000
and you'll see the Godcaster player
1046
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,000
and then you can click on
1047
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,000
Hello Fred
1048
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,000
and just let it run
1049
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,000
it is so cool
1050
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,000
I let it run in the background
1051
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,000
while you're working or driving
1052
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,000
and listen to it
1053
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
but we've also added some podcasts
1054
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
that are relevant to our church
1055
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
and to our faith walk
1056
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,000
and so you'll see those on there
1057
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000
we're actually adding some more
1058
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
we're going to do Jack Hibbs
1059
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,000
and Alan Jackson
1060
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,000
their podcast
1061
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
there's Kurt Kamerins is on there
1062
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,000
I love his and what he's doing
1063
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,000
and he ended up calling you recently
1064
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,000
yeah he called me and left a message
1065
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,000
which is really nice
1066
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,000
I haven't got back to him yet
1067
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
but he called me because
1068
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
I quoted his book
1069
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,000
his new book
1070
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,000
and put a slide up with his quote
1071
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,000
every week you've been doing this
1072
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,000
I know I've been using his quote
1073
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,000
because he wrote a book called
1074
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Born to Be Brave
1075
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000
fantastic book
1076
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,000
and I highly recommend it
1077
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000
but Rick Green's friends with him
1078
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,000
and Rick took a snapshot and said
1079
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,000
hey Pastor Jim
1080
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,000
he's talking about your book
1081
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
and he sent the kindness message
1082
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,000
he said give me his phone number
1083
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,000
I want to contact him
1084
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:50,000
super cool
1085
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000
I missed his call but anyway
1086
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000
he left a really lengthy message
1087
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,000
I was really
1088
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,000
I was very heartfelt
1089
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,000
I really appreciate it
1090
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,000
so I'm looking forward to calling him back
1091
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
or getting in touch with him
1092
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000
I want to bring him here
1093
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,000
I want to bring him here
1094
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
to talk about his book
1095
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,000
even talk about the monument
1096
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000
the way he talked about the monument
1097
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
on the biblical citizenship class
1098
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,000
how impactful that was
1099
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,000
was so impactful
1100
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
we got in our car and drove
1101
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
we got in our car and drove to the airport
1102
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,000
we flew
1103
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,000
we drove to the airport
1104
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,000
so back to the Godcaster
1105
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,000
so this is a project that
1106
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,000
that Adam's working on
1107
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,000
with two other friends of his
1108
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Dave and Gordon
1109
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,000
and they put together this amazing tool
1110
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,000
I mean if you're a business owner
1111
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
you can actually run it in your business
1112
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
and it's going to have local announcements
1113
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,000
and local news
1114
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,000
and you know
1115
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,000
hey here's what's coming up
1116
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,000
here's a community calendar
1117
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,000
it's got all of that
1118
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000
it's programmable
1119
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,000
and it is phenomenal
1120
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,000
I cannot not listen to it right now
1121
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,000
I can't either
1122
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,000
so go to Bridge
1123
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,000
and it's odd to hear your
1124
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,000
wait hold on
1125
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,000
it's odd as we're
1126
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,000
as I'm getting ready
1127
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,000
and I'm hearing
1128
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,000
you're in there
1129
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,000
getting ready with me
1130
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,000
and I'm hearing you on the radio
1131
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,000
it's unbelievable to me
1132
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,000
but it's beautiful because
1133
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,000
a radio station can use it
1134
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,000
as a widget in there
1135
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,000
on their website
1136
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
and have 24-7 things running
1137
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,000
because local radio
1138
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,000
this is sad
1139
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,000
but local radio
1140
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,000
for the most part
1141
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,000
it's going away
1142
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
but we don't want Matt Long's show to go away
1143
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,000
I know we love Matt
1144
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,000
it's beginning to fade
1145
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,000
but you know what
1146
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Matt's a show that we could
1147
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000
probably put in here as a podcast
1148
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,000
because any podcast you can actually have
1149
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,000
loaded into the player
1150
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000
so there's lots of possibilities
1151
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000
so we've loaded several things
1152
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,000
that are dear to us
1153
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,000
so you can go to bridgefbg.com
1154
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,000
scroll all the way down
1155
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,000
and you can listen to
1156
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Hello Fred Live
1157
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,000
for 24 hours
1158
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,000
or you can listen to one of the podcasts
1159
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
so it's still in beta development
1160
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,000
so we're finding glitches
1161
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,000
or little things
1162
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000
we're fixing along the way
1163
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,000
I say we
1164
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
I'm just transferring information to Adam
1165
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,000
and he with his geniuses
1166
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,000
they do all that
1167
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000
but we're just helping by running it constantly
1168
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,000
I'm listening to it as much as possible
1169
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,000
and if I ever hear anything
1170
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,000
I just shoot him a text
1171
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
so it's really cool
1172
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000
even in the week that he's
1173
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,000
from the week when he started it to today
1174
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,000
it's like a thousand percent improved
1175
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,000
but already
1176
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,000
I mean it's amazing
1177
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,000
I'm super proud
1178
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,000
He's a genius
1179
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,000
I'm proud of Adam
1180
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,000
I'm proud of my friend
1181
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,000
I love
1182
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,000
It's for the kingdom
1183
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,000
It's for God's glory
1184
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000
I love hearing his voice throughout
1185
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,000
He'll say Hello Fred
1186
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,000
This is Hello Fred
1187
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,000
and I love that
1188
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,000
I love hearing him
1189
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,000
It does remind me of the MTV days
1190
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Does it?
1191
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,000
It really does
1192
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,000
because of his voice
1193
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,000
has it changed
1194
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,000
but it just
1195
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,000
when I hear him on it
1196
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,000
when I hear you
1197
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,000
when I hear Tina
1198
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,000
I'm on it
1199
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,000
You're on it?
1200
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,000
I don't really like that part
1201
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,000
but I just get giddy hearing us
1202
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:41,000
knowing that people are going to hear
1203
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,000
the little God shots that we're all giving
1204
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
and it's just beautiful
1205
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,000
It's another way for us to get the gospel out
1206
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,000
There it is
1207
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Good news
1208
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,000
I learned the gospel through music
1209
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Living up in a down world is good news
1210
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Music is how I was drawn to the Lord
1211
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Me too
1212
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
and I love that we're using music
1213
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,000
and other things to draw people to the Lord as well
1214
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,000
I think this thing is going to go big
1215
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,000
really big
1216
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,000
He's got another meeting this morning
1217
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,000
the one yesterday
1218
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,000
with other radio stations who are starting to pick it up
1219
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Will he name it like whatever city has it
1220
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Hello Cincinnati or whatever
1221
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Well they can do what they want with it
1222
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,000
because it will be there
1223
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,000
so they can customize it to there
1224
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,000
They can put their 24 hour radio stream on it
1225
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,000
or whatever
1226
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
So he named ours Hello Fred
1227
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,000
because we're in Fredersburg
1228
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,000
Because of Fred
1229
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,000
I love it
1230
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000
I'm super excited about it
1231
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,000
and just proud of him
1232
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,000
I'm proud
1233
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,000
It's fun to see him lit up
1234
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,000
We were both saying
1235
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,000
I've never seen him like this
1236
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
He just turned a big 6-0
1237
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,000
He leveled up
1238
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,000
I'm 62
1239
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,000
and we were just talking last night
1240
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,000
about how we feel so youthful
1241
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,000
We feel so
1242
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000
We're so excited about what God's doing
1243
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
in each of our spheres of influence
1244
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,000
and what we can do together
1245
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,000
and we're talking about doing a podcast together
1246
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,000
We're starting to
1247
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,000
It's in development
1248
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Well Tina I've been talking about for a year
1249
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,000
and it hadn't happened
1250
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,000
That's on y'all
1251
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,000
You'll have to decide when you're going to do it
1252
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,000
We're waiting for God's perfect timing
1253
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,000
because the right thing at the wrong time
1254
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,000
is still the wrong thing
1255
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,000
We want it to be the right thing at the right time
1256
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,000
So it's all percolating right now
1257
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,000
and it's starting to develop
1258
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,000
but we're not rushing anything
1259
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,000
It's like God's timing is perfect
1260
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,000
So we'll be doing something
1261
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,000
probably God the world and other things
1262
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,000
I don't know
1263
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,000
That's for sure
1264
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Who knows
1265
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Well listen as we land the plane today
1266
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,000
First of all
1267
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Wow I think we didn't have very much energy
1268
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,000
at the beginning
1269
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:28,000
and then we end with all this
1270
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Well I think this is my second cup of coffee
1271
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Oh me too
1272
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,000
I just finished mine
1273
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,000
And it kicked in
1274
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,000
It did
1275
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,000
So boom I'm alive
1276
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,000
Yeah you had a lot more energy than me
1277
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,000
I'm just going okay
1278
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,000
I'm still trying to wake up
1279
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Well I think I got really excited
1280
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,000
when you talked about Hello Fred though
1281
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:47,000
because I've never been so excited about a project as this
1282
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,000
I think it's just genius
1283
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,000
I do too
1284
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,000
I just love that
1285
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,000
I'm super fired up
1286
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,000

and let you know when the next podcast is coming
1291
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,000
We didn't do a podcast last week remember
1292
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Was it last week?
1293
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Yeah
1294
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,000
No we did it
1295
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,000
We did?
1296
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,000
Yes we did
1297
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,000
We skipped a week
1298
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,000
I guess we did it last week
1299
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Yeah
1300
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,000
It was the week before
1301
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Wow a lot has happened in the last week
1302
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,000
But anyway I want to say thank you to all of you
1303
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Those of you who have been contributing
1304
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Those who have been doing Boostergrams
1305
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,000
We want to say thank you
1306
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,000
Adam Curry you're always big time on the Boostergrams
1307
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,000
There's a stop at Boostergrams
1308
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,000
He always rocks our world with 77,000 sats
1309
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,000
and so appreciate that
1310
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
But also those of you that are using PayPal
1311
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,000
on our website and donating to the cause
1312
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,000
Thank you
1313
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,000
It just means the world to us
1314
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,000
We love to hear from you
1315
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,000
Write us a note
1316
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Send us
1317
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:42,000
You don't have to be along
1318
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,000
Don't write a book
1319
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,000
Just send a note
1320
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,000
We love to hear from you
1321
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,000
We're just excited about what God's up to
1322
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Of course we're in a good mood this morning
1323
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,000
because something we've been praying about so hard
1324
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,000
has come to pass
1325
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
but I go back to this
1326
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,000
We forgive
1327
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,000
We also win with class
1328
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,000
And we also are humbly grateful
1329
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,000
for what God's up to
1330
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,000
We feel like the future is so bright
1331
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,000
We just got to wear shades right?
1332
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
We have four years of a life raft
1333
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Well I would say four years of an opportunity
1334
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,000
You can use a life raft as good
1335
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:17,000
But I say an opportunity to turn this nation back to God
1336
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Which means the work just begins
1337
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Yeah MAGA to me means Make America Godly Again
1338
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,000
That's what we're going to do
1339
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Well God bless you
1340
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,000
We love you
1341
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,000
And we just want to say thanks for listening today
1342
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,000
And we're out of here
1343
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Have an amazing week on purpose
1344
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,000
Go to Hello Fred on our website
1345
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,000
And check it out
1346
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,000
I know you're laughing at me
1347
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,000
When you said go to Hello Fred
1348
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,000
You know what my mind went to
1349
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,000
You are hilarious
1350
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,000
I know
1351
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:43,000
You're strange
1352
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,000
I love you and you're beautiful by the way
1353
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Thank you
1354
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,000
Stunning and gorgeous
1355
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,000
I think I'm ready for another cup of coffee
1356
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,000
It's starting to work
1357
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,000
Wow
1358
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Hey we love you family
1359
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,000
Talk to you soon
1360
00:43:52,000 --> 00:44:20,000
Bye bye
