00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:29,320
This is Jimmy and Annette and we are super excited to be with you.
2
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,040
Oh I always need to mention Mr. Chevy because he's with us as well.
3
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,040
He is.
4
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:39,440
In his total, I'm looking at, I'm sorry, I'm looking at the look on my dog's face.
5
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,120
He's looking at me like this is my favorite place ever to be.
6
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,880
He's totally chilled out.
7
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:46,880
He was super excited.
8
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,960
I set this up like two hours ago.
9
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,960
And then we stopped because I said, wait, I heard a sermon today that you have to hear
10
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:55,960
by Willie Robertson.
11
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,360
Yeah, Willie Robertson.
12
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,920
From Duck Dynasty.
13
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,840
And I said, let's stop and go watch this.
14
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:04,840
And you know what?
15
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,280
I mean, I was just watching you cry just now.
16
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,280
You were sobbing.
17
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,440
I was like, okay, when we start this podcast, I need, I need you to be a little up instead
18
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,440
of down.
19
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,400
No, I'm totally up because it was so powerful.
20
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,120
But you were up, but it was just, you know, when you're crying, you just, it takes it
21
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,080
all out of you and you were bawling your eyes out.
22
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,560
I turned and looked at you and you were just bawling.
23
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,080
You said, are you asleep?
24
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,480
I said, no, I'm crying.
25
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,120
I saw your eyes shut and I thought he's asleep.
26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:38,120
But now you were, your eyes were shut because you had tears in your eyes and it was moving
27
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,480
to watch Jimmy.
28
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,480
It was so moving.
29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,640
That's what I love about you.
30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,240
I love your sensitivity to the spirit.
31
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,520
It is, it is, it's, it's very sexy.
32
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,520
I'm just saying.
33
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,520
I know.
34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,520
Well, I have to say that.
35
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:53,520
Pause, edit.
36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,520
I'm just kidding.
37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:01,800
I mean, it's what woman does not love to see a sensitive, caring, loving husband who is
38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,960
so sensitive to the spirit that he cries.
39
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,880
I mean, you cry a lot, not just at hallmark shows.
40
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,680
I, you know, I know you do that commercials, but you really do cry when you hear the word
41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,880
of God spoken and it really resonates with you.
42
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,920
And that, that's amazing.
43
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:21,640
Thank you.
44
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:22,640
That's why I married you.
45
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:23,640
Wow.
46
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:24,640
I mean, wow.
47
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:25,640
Thank you for saying that.
48
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:27,800
You know, there was a time in my life I couldn't cry.
49
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:28,800
I know, I know.
50
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,240
It was very broken and very hard and angry.
51
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,320
This young person, new Christian, young baby Christian.
52
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:44,160
And I didn't thought about this in years, but I was at a church service and it was like
53
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,160
a Sunday night.
54
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,720
Remember church, Sunday night church.
55
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:47,720
People used to do Sunday nights.
56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,280
I like Sunday night, but it really was cool.
57
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,960
I liked it too, um, cause you just kind of went really casual and there was just a sweet
58
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,440
spirit is more about the fellowship and connection.
59
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,440
Right.
60
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,440
Missed that.
61
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,760
Um, so I was there on a Sunday night and the pastor, um, just started to had a microphone
62
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,120
start passing around and say, Hey, does anybody have a testimony?
63
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,840
I've been at those services.
64
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:17,000
They are people started sharing it as other people were sharing about their faith and
65
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,440
what God was doing in their life.
66
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,320
I just begin to weep and I hadn't weep.
67
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,800
I hadn't cried in two years.
68
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,800
How old were you?
69
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,120
I had to be like 21 by that point.
70
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:31,160
Um, my parents had gone through a divorce when I was 17 and I was angry.
71
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,040
Was it after your mother passed away?
72
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,040
No, no, no, no, no.
73
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,040
My parents were both alive.
74
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,040
Okay.
75
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,040
She said they went through a divorce.
76
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,240
I was shattered by it, but you know, I'm a guy, so I didn't act like I was shattered
77
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,240
by it.
78
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:47,280
So it's all cool with me, you know, but inside I was devastated and, um, didn't talk about
79
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,280
it and have anybody.
80
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,040
So wait a minute back up.
81
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,040
Yeah.
82
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,240
Your parents got a divorce when you were in high school, high school.
83
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,400
So this is your 21, right?
84
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,720
And it's hitting you.
85
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:57,720
Yeah.
86
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,000
I mean, well, it dawned on me.
87
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,000
I haven't cried.
88
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,080
I've never, I haven't been tender because I was so angry.
89
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,560
I had the shield just held.
90
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,880
It was a shield around my heart and in my mind, even I love God, man, I was growing
91
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,540
in Christ, love God.
92
00:04:13,540 --> 00:04:17,040
So these people start sharing their testimonies and these are all old, young.
93
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,200
I mean, just multi-generational and I'm listening and all of a sudden something happens.
94
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,760
There's a, something breaks in me because I'm hearing about what God's doing in other
95
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,760
people's lives.
96
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,920
Now he's moving in mine too big time, but I'm listening to other people and for whatever
97
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,560
reason it struck a chord in my heart.
98
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,960
And it's like a, it's like all this stuff that was built up, it broke.
99
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:41,960
Wow.
100
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,880
It's like a dam breaking and all this water behind it.
101
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,880
It's been waiting to be released and I just began to sob.
102
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,640
It was embarrassing kind of, but, but it was beautiful too.
103
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:59,840
I call it, it was brutal, brutal at the same time.
104
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:03,200
It was brutal and I just was a cleansing for you.
105
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,320
She even remembering that's making my heart.
106
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,320
Wow.
107
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,440
So, um, I actually stood up and said, can I have the microphone?
108
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,280
They brought it over to me and I gave a testimony.
109
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:18,600
I said, ever since my parents divorced at that point, three, three years ago, I haven't
110
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,080
cried a tear until tonight hearing all you amazing people share about your walk with
111
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,080
God.
112
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:30,600
And even while I was talking, I could barely get the words out and I was just so thankful
113
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,400
that my heart was tender again.
114
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,200
And ever since then, right.
115
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,600
I've been married to you for 30 years.
116
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:37,600
Very tender, very tender.
117
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,440
And you know, I never apologize for it.
118
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,400
I'm not ashamed of it.
119
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:49,320
I am grateful because when you've not been able to feel and when you've been numb and
120
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:55,000
then God opens your heart again to be tender and trusting and open, there's nothing like
121
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
it.
122
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,560
It's life changing, totally life changing, changing.
123
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,600
Before we talk about change, that's going to be one of our topics today.
124
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:08,280
We, we want to talk about the power of a changed life.
125
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:10,120
We use the words transformed.
126
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,880
That means the form is trans.
127
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:12,880
It's changed.
128
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,640
Of course, trans is a big word right now, but we're talking about the good way.
129
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,920
We're talking about the transformation of a human heart that gets touched by the spirit
130
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:21,920
of God.
131
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,680
But before we get dive into that, we are going to dive into it.
132
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,560
We have other things I want to cover first.
133
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,240
First of all, we want to welcome you to the show.
134
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,100
We are Jimmy and Annette.
135
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:32,800
We are pastors at Bridge Church in Fredericksburg, Texas.
136
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,120
We've been here about seven and a half years at this point.
137
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,480
And we want to welcome you to living up in a down world.
138
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,480
That is our heart.
139
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,640
That is our passion, not only for us, but for you.
140
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,960
I mean, we've got, if you've been with us on this journey, we're in, can you believe
141
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,960
it episode 24?
142
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,540
That's mind boggling.
143
00:06:52,540 --> 00:06:53,540
There it is.
144
00:06:53,540 --> 00:06:54,540
Yeah.
145
00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:55,600
24 episodes.
146
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,920
And so we've told some of our stories about just what God has done and some of the hard
147
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:06,080
stuff, trauma, what we've had to overcome, pain, suffering, all these things.
148
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,760
And yet we always end it with a, but God Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
149
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,080
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
150
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:18,760
All the King's horses, all the Kings men couldn't put Humpty together again, but God can.
151
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:19,760
That's really our heart.
152
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,360
And that's why we call this living up in a down world, because we want to help you in
153
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,760
spite of what is going on in this crazy world.
154
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,200
It does feel like chicken little was right.
155
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,560
The sky seems to be falling.
156
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,400
I know, but you know what?
157
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,400
I'm not fearful.
158
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,400
No, I'm not either.
159
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,720
Because I still know who I am and I know God.
160
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,360
I know even if something did happen, I know where I'm going.
161
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,640
It's a better place.
162
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,040
I just refuse to live in fear.
163
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,040
I just refuse.
164
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,040
I just can't do it.
165
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,040
Girl, I'm so with you.
166
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,400
And when it begins to come in, because you know, the enemy's real.
167
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,400
No doubt.
168
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,640
I just, I just tear it down with the word of God.
169
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,080
How does that work?
170
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,480
Well, I mean, you speak the word of God, but you got to know what the word of God says.
171
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:06,720
When you speak the word of God to the enemy and you just, you just speak back what God's
172
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,600
word says to him and he has to flee.
173
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:15,840
And you know, I just, I have to, that's something I've had to work on most of my Christian life.
174
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:16,840
I hear you.
175
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,560
I mean, because of those echoes, those tapes, it's like tapes run in your mind from the
176
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,360
past until you, you're no good.
177
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,440
You're a loser.
178
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,140
This isn't going to work out.
179
00:08:26,140 --> 00:08:27,920
You're not going to make it.
180
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,560
And so those tapes and those are lies from the enemy.
181
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,360
Those are absolute lies.
182
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,080
And so you got to replace those tapes.
183
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,760
You got to, you got to overwrite the tapes.
184
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,480
You're back in the day with cassettes, right?
185
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,400
You'd have your favorite mix tape, right?
186
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,160
You're rocking to the, to the seventies, your mix tape.
187
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,520
You know, you got air supply and little river band and all this stuff going, I know I'm
188
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:48,520
going way back.
189
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:49,520
I'm thinking high school.
190
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,840
You got your favorite mix tape and then you accidentally record over it and you're like,
191
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,880
oh my gosh, I can't believe I lost that.
192
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,680
That was like my favorite mix tape.
193
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:03,840
We got to rewrite and overwrite the tapes that the enemy keeps bringing up.
194
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,340
Don't you remember what you did?
195
00:09:05,340 --> 00:09:07,800
Don't you remember what a terrible mistake you made?
196
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,520
Oh, you're so bad.
197
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,660
You're not changed.
198
00:09:10,660 --> 00:09:11,660
You're no different.
199
00:09:11,660 --> 00:09:15,000
And you've got to replace that with the truth of God's word.
200
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,080
Word said, yes, you have to.
201
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,080
Yeah.
202
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,880
That's what brings change.
203
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,600
So we're here to help you do that.
204
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,960
That's our passion for you.
205
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,880
God has done so much in our lives, but we're still on the journey.
206
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,480
I mean, we're, we're kids at this thing, right?
207
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:35,560
We're only absolutely young, always in progress, always, always ever learning, ever grown.
208
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:38,520
We won't have attained it until we're with Jesus.
209
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,520
It's right.
210
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,700
It just, we won't, but we, but we're here and we have an assignment here.
211
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:49,040
And I, that's brings me to exactly where I want to talk to our listeners about because
212
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,720
our assignment in doing a podcast, this isn't work for us by the way it's work.
213
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,160
But if it's not, if it's something fulfilling and you love it and you can't wait to do it,
214
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,160
then it's not work.
215
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,160
Exactly.
216
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,160
Exactly.
217
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:08,720
And we love this because we know that man, because of just God's providence and, and
218
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,160
podcasting being an option and opportunity.
219
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:18,360
Thank you, Adam Curry and your friend that developed this, what 19 years ago, because
220
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,920
this platform has been created, I believe by God's heart.
221
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,960
It's an avenue to get God's word out to the world.
222
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,600
And that's our heart.
223
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,760
I looked at a, on rss.com, it's our hub, you know, where everything goes through.
224
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:35,160
They have an analytics page and it shows that our podcast is going all over the world.
225
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,840
And so for those of you that are listening, wherever you are, I'm not talking about America,
226
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,720
I'm talking about the world.
227
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,200
We want you to know something.
228
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,200
God loves you.
229
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,000
He has an amazing plan for your life.
230
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,280
We want to encourage you in that and help you live up in a down world.
231
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:58,600
I do love the newsletter that you got out yesterday because I saw that you took a picture
232
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:05,640
of our little studio here with the cross in the background and you had it highlighted.
233
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,440
That was beautiful because you really set it up that this is the whole point of the
234
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,840
podcast.
235
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,840
This is our why.
236
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:13,840
Yeah.
237
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:19,480
This is not just about you and I, although I mean, God's using us and our stories, I
238
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:26,560
believe to help people, but all our whole point is to point people to Jesus.
239
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:27,560
Period.
240
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:32,360
If we don't, then we've, then we're not, we're not fulfilling the purpose.
241
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:38,800
I believe that God has for us is about bringing a message to people of hope, a message of
242
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,800
life.
243
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,600
And you do it every Sunday.
244
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,800
I don't have that opportunity like you do.
245
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,800
So this is my opportunity to do what I believe God's called me to do.
246
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:54,360
I love it girl and my goal is to tee up the ball, hand you the driver swing for it.
247
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,800
Just, just give it a, just rip grip it and rip it girl.
248
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:03,320
If you, if you remember for years, I ran a women's ministry for years and years and years,
249
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:10,440
and I've just not had that opportunity here, even though it's our church, it's just, um,
250
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,440
the opportunity hasn't presented itself for me to do that.
251
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:19,560
And so it's really good for me now looking back, I didn't want to do this because I,
252
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:27,280
I didn't know the purpose of this when we first began and God began to just infuse purpose
253
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,280
into this way.
254
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,780
I see it is you have a voice and you have something to say and God has provided this
255
00:12:32,780 --> 00:12:36,160
platform for me to hopefully set you up.
256
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,720
I'm just turning knobs and sliding stuff and stuff like this.
257
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:40,720
Oh wow.
258
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:41,720
I'm applauding for you.
259
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:42,720
Oh, is that what you're doing?
260
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:43,720
Oh, I appreciate it.
261
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,680
Actually, this is more about, yeah, that's it.
262
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:48,680
That's it.
263
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:49,680
That's my heart for you.
264
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:50,680
But really it is.
265
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:52,640
I so want you to have this platform.
266
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,280
And so anyway, let's dive into what we're going to be talking about today.
267
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,840
Again, thank you for listening.
268
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:58,840
Thank you for supporting.
269
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,640
We'll talk, we'll get some shout outs here at the end, but, uh, I gotta talk about one
270
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,880
thing though that was really special for me this last week.
271
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,800
It's going to sound weird.
272
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:14,120
And uh, so Adam and I, Adam Curry, who's become just one of my truly dearest friends on the
273
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,120
planet.
274
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,760
He's probably one of the best friends you've ever had since, since I've known anybody else.
275
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,280
Cause I've had some amazing people in my life.
276
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,160
God's been so gracious, but there's something, something amazing.
277
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,280
It's happening here and I don't want to get all weird about it, but that sounds really
278
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,200
rude when it's talkless away, but we had a bro date.
279
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,040
I know a bro date last week.
280
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,480
We gave Tina and I a chance to have retail therapy.
281
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,880
Oh my gosh, this is going to get expensive.
282
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,120
I know that, but I gotta tell you, we went out and we just made, we went to this great
283
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,320
restaurant here in town.
284
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,040
We live in Fredericksburg, Texas, which is like amazing place to live.
285
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,640
We love living here.
286
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,560
And so we went out to this great steak house.
287
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:54,920
It's relatively new.
288
00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:01,760
I think the second time I've been there and we just had an evening of conversation and
289
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:09,920
great food and just this exchange of life between healthy men, who are confident in
290
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:15,880
who they are, who are growing in their faith, growing in their friendship and this exchange
291
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,880
across the table.
292
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,480
And I gotta say, I noticed, I don't know if Adam noticed this or not, there were people
293
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:22,760
all around us listening.
294
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:23,760
They were totally eavesdropping.
295
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,760
Oh, I love that.
296
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:25,760
We were talking about God.
297
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:26,760
We were talking about world events.
298
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:27,760
We were talking about technology.
299
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:28,760
We were talking about podcasting.
300
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,400
We were talking about all these amazing things.
301
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,600
And I noticed, and he may or may not have, but I noticed people were listening.
302
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,600
Yeah.
303
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,640
Well, there's also a light that shines through both of you because you have Jesus in you.
304
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,040
So when you're, wherever you are, people are going to be drawn to that light.
305
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:51,720
So I believe exactly what you said, that people were, they wanted to listen to you because
306
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:58,640
you have something to say and maybe they weren't sitting at your table, but I believe God was
307
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,360
in that conversation, in that restaurant where they could hear what you were saying.
308
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,360
I believe that.
309
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:05,360
No doubt.
310
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,200
Just by two guys going to a restaurant is a witness to the world.
311
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,200
We're not weird.
312
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,200
We're not gay.
313
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,200
I mean, we're just dudes.
314
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,200
We're bros, brothers.
315
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:17,600
And we're doing life together and we're iron sharpening iron and we're growing.
316
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,760
And I think it's the coolest thing.
317
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,320
And so we're like, dude, this has got to be a regular thing.
318
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,600
Although we've got to put a cap on the girl's spoon, but it's going to be a regular thing.
319
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:26,600
It's okay.
320
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:27,600
It wasn't that bad.
321
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:28,600
I know.
322
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,520
And while me and Adam are doing a bro date, what were you and Tina?
323
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,280
Well, we were just girl shopping, you know, lock and Tara over in San Antonio.
324
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,280
Yes.
325
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,280
And it was good.
326
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,280
I mean, I always enjoy spending time with her because like I said, iron sharpens iron
327
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,680
and I'm doing a Bible study with her every week.
328
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:45,680
That's cool.
329
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,160
Call the God I never knew, which is Holy spirit.
330
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,160
Pastor Robert Morris.
331
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,160
Right.
332
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:56,200
So we have, we just have, you know, we've, we've only known each other less than a year.
333
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,400
So we're both in our, you know, sixties, which I hate saying.
334
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,400
So we have a lot of catching out to do.
335
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:03,400
I know.
336
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,240
I need to embrace this.
337
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:06,240
I know.
338
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,320
So we have a lot of catching up to do.
339
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,320
And so it's amazing.
340
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:19,160
Our conversations have been so amazing because we're seeing, they're seeing how God was in
341
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,100
their relationship from the beginning.
342
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:22,280
They met eight years ago.
343
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,440
They've been married four.
344
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:31,280
But how God instigated all these things to happen to get them to where they are today.
345
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,280
You have a great story.
346
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,280
What a great story.
347
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,760
And so your story, which was great because this weekend when we had Pastor Brian, a former
348
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:45,000
youth pastor and his wife from Nashville here, we had huge conversations this weekend with
349
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000
them.
350
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:52,840
And I loved hearing Adam's story and Tina's story about how they came to know Christ.
351
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,800
It's all about the shoes.
352
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,600
It started with the shoes, Tina's shoes.
353
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,360
She rocks some amazing shoes.
354
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,440
Oh my God.
355
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,440
There's your trick.
356
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:06,920
But you know, but the story, not their story of how they met, but the story of how they,
357
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,800
how they came to terms with they need Jesus.
358
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:16,600
And to hear that story again, which is why I love when we introduce them to other people,
359
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,240
because they get to share that over and over and over.
360
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,200
I will never get tired of hearing their journey of faith.
361
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,200
I will never either.
362
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,200
It's beautiful.
363
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,800
There's something compelling and powerful about a testimony of people who have come
364
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:33,840
from a place of just not, not being against God at all, just not knowing Him and getting
365
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:34,840
to know Him.
366
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,440
But what's beautiful about their journey is they decided to do it together.
367
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,440
Yes.
368
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,440
That's powerful.
369
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,360
Her and I were talking about that on our walk today about how powerful.
370
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:47,280
Naomi had said the same thing to her.
371
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:54,640
And when she was visiting with her yesterday at church, she said, most couples don't come
372
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,840
to that realization together.
373
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,560
And I know that from experience from church.
374
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:06,760
Typically it's the female and the male is follows along or does eight feet behind.
375
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:07,760
Yeah.
376
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:08,760
Right.
377
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,360
Their story is so powerful because they were together on this.
378
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:16,740
And you know, to me and Tina and I were talking about this too.
379
00:18:16,740 --> 00:18:22,320
The older you get, the more set in your ways and where you don't think you need a savior.
380
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,560
When you're young, you know, you hear music and you get kind of low.
381
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:34,800
It's a, it's a, it can be a draw to you and you get, you hear a sermon and you cry.
382
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,680
But when you're older, it's, it's harder for older people to come to know Christ.
383
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,680
They're sad.
384
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:41,680
They're sad.
385
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:42,680
They're sad in their ways.
386
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,680
They've lost their dreams.
387
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,920
They're disappointed and disappointment, disillusionment to a degree where they blame,
388
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:48,920
they could, right.
389
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:49,920
Right.
390
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:50,920
A little harder.
391
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,920
They don't have that.
392
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:52,920
Correct.
393
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:53,920
It's beautiful.
394
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,920
And I'm never going to get tired of it.
395
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:56,920
Exactly.
396
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,660
There, if you think about it, Jimmy, you know, what we talked about that we're going to talk
397
00:19:00,660 --> 00:19:03,160
about a little bit is a, as a changed life.
398
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,160
Yeah.
399
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:10,400
They're the epitome of a changed life, not a life that changed, right.
400
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,160
But a changed life.
401
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,360
Cause there are great people before Christ entered in.
402
00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:23,200
And yet when the Holy spirit came and they accepted Christ, there was just their trajectory
403
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,400
accelerated exponentially.
404
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:31,000
And so to watch that and I feel like we've got a 50 yard seat at the game.
405
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Yes.
406
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,000
We're 50 yard line.
407
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,000
I don't know what that means.
408
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Cause I don't watch football.
409
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,000
That's when you're the best seat in the house.
410
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,000
I know I'm kidding.
411
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,920
But getting to watch that and, and my heart and I know yours is, is to this fire that's
412
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,160
burning in them is to keep pouring.
413
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,160
We're the cheerleaders on the sideline.
414
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,160
Totally.
415
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,160
If you want to use football.
416
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,160
Oh wait, no, that's, that's gay.
417
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,160
Okay.
418
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,160
Well, well I'm the cheerleader on the sideline.
419
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,160
I think of Will Farrell and Sarah.
420
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,160
Oh my gosh.
421
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,160
Of course you would.
422
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,160
Of course.
423
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,160
I'm not a cheerleader.
424
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,160
I'm coach.
425
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,160
Coach.
426
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,360
You're the coach on the sideline and I'm the cheerleader because I'm, I'm just watching
427
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:07,040
their story play out.
428
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,120
We get the privilege of watching the story play out every day.
429
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:13,560
And then to, okay, cheer them on.
430
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:14,560
Right.
431
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,560
Yes.
432
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,200
But also to coach and to say, man, you're doing so good and so proud of you.
433
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,200
Keep doing it.
434
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,200
Keep doing it.
435
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,200
Absolutely.
436
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,200
Keep running through the tape.
437
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,200
Keep those legs.
438
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,200
Tell us what books you're interested in reading because some people might send them a book
439
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:34,720
that might not be the, they mean well, beautiful people supporting them more new age crew,
440
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:35,720
you know, or something.
441
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,960
So we were, that's how we coach them.
442
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,440
So the heart of what we're talking about is not just about Adam and Tina, but it's the
443
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,140
power of a change in life.
444
00:20:44,140 --> 00:20:50,480
So speaking of cool people and change lives, Renee, Dan and Renee Seacrest, we went out
445
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:51,480
with them.
446
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:52,480
Oh my gosh.
447
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,200
Just the coolest people.
448
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,960
Dan is, uh, uh, he worked for a Boston market for years.
449
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,400
He was one of their, one of their top guys in Boston markets.
450
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,880
I used to love that place by the way that we loved it when we were in California.
451
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,400
We ate there all the time.
452
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,400
You don't hear about it.
453
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,600
Yeah, not so much, but he's moved on and he's doing a lot of other things.
454
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:19,320
Semi retired doing consulting, just the coolest couple who loved Jesus passionately, who,
455
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,960
who were, who love us, which was so evident.
456
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,680
I love our relationship with him.
457
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,960
He came and talked to me at church and just thanked me and said, we had such a wonderful
458
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:28,960
time with you guys.
459
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,040
We went out to dinner in Bernie, Texas, by the way, it's not Bernie as in B E R it's
460
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,240
a German name.
461
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:40,520
B O E R N E I Bernie, just any, any, you're right.
462
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:41,520
German.
463
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,120
And, uh, we had this amazing steakhouse with them.
464
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:51,720
But again, it was another evening of iron sharpening iron, building one another up,
465
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,920
sharing our stories, sharing our lives of transformation.
466
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,880
By the way, he's a killer musician as well.
467
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:02,960
He's on our worship team, great bass player, great keyboardist, but also just a great man
468
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:03,960
of God.
469
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,920
I'm watching God grow him exponentially.
470
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:06,920
Yes.
471
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:07,920
That's it.
472
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:08,920
That's that was wonderful time.
473
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:09,920
Wonderful, wonderful time.
474
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:15,880
Brought them back to the house, just rocked some amazing desserts from high street cafe
475
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,360
out of comfort, Texas.
476
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:18,360
Okay.
477
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:19,360
I'm kind of deserted out.
478
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:20,840
That sounds kind of crazy.
479
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,000
But wow, we've had all these guests we've had all week.
480
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,720
It's been one dessert after another.
481
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,960
So as we enter into our sabbatical, we probably need to enter into a fast, you know what?
482
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:32,960
Bad word.
483
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,880
I know, but I am considering that I am so much more spiritual than I know.
484
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,880
I know.
485
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,560
But I think it might be good for us.
486
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,840
But anyway, I just want to give a shout out to Dan and Renee because they are just precious
487
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:45,840
people.
488
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:46,840
They listened to our podcast.
489
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:47,840
Yeah.
490
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:48,840
She's listened to every one of them.
491
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:49,840
Oh my gosh.
492
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:50,840
Said I just started listening.
493
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:51,840
I love these guys.
494
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,640
And, uh, so yeah, they're quality quality.
495
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:55,640
You're wonderful.
496
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,640
Great people.
497
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:57,640
Yeah.
498
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,440
So thanks for an amazing, amazing evening.
499
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,720
And let's talk a little bit about Brian and Naomi Mandel.
500
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,680
I mean, you talk about some cool people.
501
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:06,680
Yes.
502
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,200
He was our, he was our youth pastor for years in Abilene.
503
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:17,360
Then when we moved to Nashville, we brought him there and they've just, um, so he's been,
504
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:23,640
so he was a youth pastor for eight years and then this weird fortuitous situation came
505
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,840
along with what's called the escape games.
506
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,560
I've probably heard of there's 35 locations.
507
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,880
They're in very prime, prime property locations all over America.
508
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,040
And he has been the one of the developers of that company.
509
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,200
He's a senior.
510
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,200
Very well.
511
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,960
And, uh, and God's doing some cool stuff.
512
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,960
These guys, they're on fire for Jesus.
513
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,960
They are.
514
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:47,960
Goodness.
515
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,200
Boy, this weekend, Naomi is a rock star.
516
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,520
She just, she, she, it was as if she was in our living room and she had a pulpit in front
517
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,400
of her and she was just preaching to Tina and Adam and they were just lapping it up.
518
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,200
You know what I love about life or friends?
519
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,200
I call them lifers.
520
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:06,320
There's a few people that fit in that category lifers, lifers are the kind of people that
521
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:11,200
you might not see them for a few years or talk to them, but every once in a while, but
522
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,840
when you're together, it's like literally right where you left off.
523
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,280
Those are lifers and Brian and Naomi are lifers.
524
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,280
Yes.
525
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,680
It was really cool having them.
526
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,240
We had them Friday noon through last night.
527
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,240
Yeah, exactly.
528
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,760
I mean, and yet I never, man, it was so good.
529
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,400
We talked the whole time about Jesus, what God's up to in the kingdom, right?
530
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,400
Yes.
531
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,400
It was absolutely.
532
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,800
We had Adam and Tina over, so they got to meet them and get some hang time with them.
533
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:46,680
We had our kids over, our daughter, Faith and her new husband, Brandon, so proud of them.
534
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,280
And, and we just had these amazing God conversations.
535
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:57,120
I feel so full because all we've done is had God conversation after God conversation after
536
00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:58,800
God conversation.
537
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,600
And it just, it is, I feel like this is going to be really a bad thing, except I feel like
538
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,160
a tick who is full.
539
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,640
I know when I'm going to pop.
540
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:07,640
I know.
541
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,640
Didn't see that coming.
542
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:09,640
I know.
543
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:10,640
I've heard that somewhere.
544
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,680
You've probably said it in a sermon in the past.
545
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:13,680
Oh, I'm sure I have.
546
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:19,360
But I just feel so full of the word and just the love of God.
547
00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:20,600
Just being around people.
548
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:21,960
I never get tired.
549
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,640
This is how you, this speaking of change lives, this is how you know a life is transformed
550
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,560
is you never get tired of talking about the things of God.
551
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,840
And I never tire of it.
552
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,280
Let's have a conversation.
553
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,160
Let's talk about what God's up to.
554
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,160
Amen.
555
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,160
Yes.
556
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,160
Yes.
557
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,160
Hey man, so I got preaching.
558
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,160
You did.
559
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,160
Well, totally not in church.
560
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,160
We're in your, totally.
561
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,720
We're in your little office studio.
562
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,020
So tell us, okay.
563
00:25:47,020 --> 00:25:50,880
So you listen to, we went to this on Mondays.
564
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,960
We practice Sabbath.
565
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,300
We don't take a Sabbath.
566
00:25:54,300 --> 00:25:56,220
We receive a Sabbath from the Lord.
567
00:25:56,220 --> 00:25:57,680
It's a gift.
568
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:02,680
And so today, and we always, one of our things we like to do after a really long weekend,
569
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:08,600
preaching, teaching, I played on the worship team, two services, two services, and then
570
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,260
we hosted all weekend.
571
00:26:10,260 --> 00:26:11,380
So we were a little tired.
572
00:26:11,380 --> 00:26:12,840
We woke up this morning, right?
573
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:13,840
Let's be honest.
574
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,000
So you decided to go for a four mile walk through the hills.
575
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,240
You and Tina are machines and you are not human.
576
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:26,880
So anyway, I stayed in my office and played my guitar for a solid hour worship God on
577
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:27,880
my guitar.
578
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:28,880
I liked your guitar.
579
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,280
I was rocking the strap this morning.
580
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,800
So then we left and went straight to the gym.
581
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,440
Straight to the gym for your second workout.
582
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,440
You're a machine.
583
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,820
And I love to lift weights.
584
00:26:39,820 --> 00:26:42,680
And so that's another one of my favorite things to do.
585
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,600
And so we've been doing this, we met in a gym and doing this for 30.
586
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,360
I listened to about 30 minutes of no agenda.
587
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:53,760
Adam Curry's amazing podcast and got it.
588
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,000
May have super stoked.
589
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,000
So I can't wait to jump in.
590
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,120
I got to listen to all over it, but I'm keyed up about it.
591
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:05,160
So, and then as we're, as we're starting to hit home, I said, what did you listen to?
592
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:11,000
And you said, I listened to Willie Robertson and he was, I've never heard him.
593
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,240
I knew he was a Christian.
594
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,440
I know the whole little snippet.
595
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:20,200
I know about Sadie, his daughter and all that, but I've never heard him personally preach
596
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,160
and it was phenomenal.
597
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,000
And I said, let's, before we do a podcast, we got to go just watch it.
598
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,400
Cause I listen to it online.
599
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,320
We sat down, I put my headphones on.
600
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,680
You said, wait a minute, no, we got to go.
601
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:32,960
We need to go listen to this.
602
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,480
And I was like, ah, I'm ready to record.
603
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,640
And then we go in there and I cried through the whole thing.
604
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:44,160
And I said, I knew you need to listen to this because it was, he, he, he, it was about a
605
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:50,800
life change versus a, um, wait, hold on.
606
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,560
Say help me say it.
607
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,840
A, a life change versus a change of life.
608
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:57,840
Okay.
609
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:58,840
Okay.
610
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:06,080
And so do we have just a life change and we don't have the transformation or are we going
611
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,440
to live a changed life?
612
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,440
That continues.
613
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:16,400
And so that just, it just, again, another thing that just hit me hard.
614
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:23,040
It was like, I want to be known as the one who lives a life that's changed.
615
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,680
I gotta say something.
616
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,200
When you get spiritual, I know what it does to you.
617
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,880
I mean, we're doing a podcast, so be careful what you say.
618
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,520
But I'm just, I just look at you and I, this is the girl I'm married.
619
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:40,240
This is the girl that I saw, you know, when we first got together and I was like, she's
620
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,600
so hungry for God.
621
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:48,360
So when I hear you talk about the things of God and I just, I honestly, I, I wish and
622
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:54,720
pray that people could have the kind of relationship we have where when we both start talking about
623
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,200
the Lord, there's something that elevates.
624
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,200
Yes.
625
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,440
So I had to pause, had to press pause on you.
626
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,880
Sorry to distract, but I'm just like, wow.
627
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,520
So why did it make you cry?
628
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,760
Cause you were crying so much and, and I, and we started to talk about it and I said,
629
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,680
no, let's go straight in there and record.
630
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,120
I don't want to talk.
631
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,120
You becoming a podcaster.
632
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,120
Well, I am.
633
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,680
I've learned from the best Tina and Adam, this is what they say.
634
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,120
So tell me what was it that made you cry?
635
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:32,840
I think part of it is that, uh, when really was talking and he's talking at gateway church,
636
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:33,840
right?
637
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:40,880
The heart of very affluent Dallas Fort worth, no knock on that just is what it is.
638
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:41,880
Right?
639
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,760
I mean, he's in the heart of that and here he is in a headband.
640
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,640
His hair is all jacked up.
641
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:51,600
He's wearing the old like Levi's five Oh one jeans and tennis shoes that are no name, no
642
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,100
brand.
643
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:54,100
He's just himself.
644
00:29:54,100 --> 00:30:01,400
And yet he is talking about being consumed with the love of God for people.
645
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,400
Yes.
646
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,840
And he's telling story after story of just these people who don't know who he is.
647
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,080
Jordan, Peterson met him and said, Oh, what are you doing at the conference?
648
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,440
He said, I'm actually one of the keynote speakers yet.
649
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,440
Really?
650
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:18,200
You know, like looking him up and down, looking him up and down, like you're a speaker, you
651
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,200
know?
652
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:27,200
So I love the fact that this, this family, the Robertson family have received the mantle
653
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:33,720
that God gave to them in the call to evangelize, to share their faith, to be bold in their
654
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:34,720
faith.
655
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:35,720
Absolutely.
656
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:36,720
We all know it's duck dynasty, right?
657
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:37,720
A lot of drama.
658
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:38,720
It's funny.
659
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:44,840
It's a great hilarious show and they're rough around the edges and yet there's this life
660
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,600
that emanates out of them.
661
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:47,600
Exactly.
662
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:48,600
It's light.
663
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:54,020
And so as I was listening to him tell stories about sharing his faith with people and baptizing
664
00:30:54,020 --> 00:31:00,880
a guy in a cow pond and a stock tank, stock tanks, I didn't know what a cow pond was until
665
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,520
he described it as a tank.
666
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:07,260
That's a manmade little tiny lake or pond and it's for the cattle.
667
00:31:07,260 --> 00:31:08,260
It's literally ranch.
668
00:31:08,260 --> 00:31:10,320
That's where they go.
669
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,320
They poop.
670
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,320
They drink water.
671
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,920
I mean, it's, it's the deer come, the cows come, whatever else comes.
672
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,280
So, so I get that because I grew up in West Texas.
673
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,080
So he baptized someone.
674
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:27,760
And that guy, it was really shallow and you have to really, really want to do that.
675
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:28,760
I got a bat.
676
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:29,760
I got to get you all wet.
677
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,680
So 18 degrees outside, 18 degrees outside there on a deer hunt.
678
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:37,960
This guy gets born again, gives his heart to Christ and says, man, I want to be baptized
679
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,960
right now.
680
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:39,960
And Willie's like, for real?
681
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,800
Like right now he's a, yeah, he's it's 18 degrees.
682
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:43,800
This could kill you.
683
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,840
Cause yeah, I know the old man has today.
684
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,560
No, it can literally kill you.
685
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:48,960
It's hilarious.
686
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,920
But I can totally picture that because growing up where I grew up, we had stock takes that
687
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,160
we had one on our property.
688
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,200
We, we had cows and all that stuff.
689
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,760
And so I know what a stock tank is.
690
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,840
I know what's inside of it.
691
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:01,840
It's gross.
692
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,320
I've never even been in the presence of a cow.
693
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,320
Yeah.
694
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,320
You don't swim in a stock tank.
695
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:06,320
I grew up in the city.
696
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,320
I don't, I'm not a, yeah.
697
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:09,640
So this guy wants to be baptized.
698
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,480
He's like, man, I'm ready to be baptized.
699
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,400
I want to, I want to follow Jesus.
700
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:19,440
The beauty of that struck me because I know what's in the stock, gross.
701
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:20,440
That's why you're crying.
702
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:21,440
No, part of it.
703
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,880
I mean, just part of the fact that that guy didn't care.
704
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,760
He just wanted Jesus and he wanted to follow the Jesus and believers baptism.
705
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,360
He said, I don't care if it's in a church.
706
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:37,640
I don't care if it's in a warm hot tub and he saw it and he said, let's just do it right
707
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:38,640
now.
708
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:39,640
Right here.
709
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:40,640
I mean, love that.
710
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:41,640
That is powerful.
711
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:42,640
It's the heart.
712
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,640
It's the real deal.
713
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:49,560
And you're like, well, you know, it's dude in a church where it's really the warm water
714
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,520
and Adam Curry, we have neon lights and fog machines.
715
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:53,760
I'm just kidding.
716
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:58,440
So you know, but it's all the convenience is comfort and somebody's waiting with the
717
00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:59,440
towel.
718
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,160
No, this is 18 degrees on a deer hunt.
719
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,560
That was, he says, I want to be baptized right now.
720
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,480
The purity of that cameraman who was with him, he said, of course the cameraman follows
721
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:12,480
Willie Roberts all the time.
722
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:13,480
Right.
723
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:19,080
And he said, well, I'm not going to do it there, but can we go back to the person's
724
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,880
house and let's do it in the bath.
725
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,880
Did it in a bathtub with all the guys.
726
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:23,880
I just think so.
727
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:30,600
All these dudes watching him in a bathtub in a bath in a bathtub, get baptized.
728
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:31,880
How beautiful is that?
729
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:32,880
Absolutely.
730
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:37,080
You know, all that really struck me, but it also conjured up some, some memories that
731
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,080
I have.
732
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:45,320
So I was youth pastor for many years and because I wasn't raised in church, I didn't become
733
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,880
a Christian until I was 18, almost right.
734
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,760
19 really, really, really more into 19.
735
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,040
And so not going to youth camp, not being raised in a church.
736
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,520
I mean, I was really raw and rough around the edges.
737
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,680
I mean, all I ever wanted to do is play, play guitar in a band and be on a stage.
738
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:03,680
I mean, rock and roll.
739
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:08,240
I mean, I grew up in classic rock era and now we call it classic rock.
740
00:34:08,240 --> 00:34:09,760
Wasn't in.
741
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:10,760
So that's all I wanted.
742
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,520
And I just didn't have a lot of ambition about life.
743
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,840
And then God grips my heart.
744
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:21,800
And suddenly, not suddenly, but over a period of time, I find myself being at a Bible school,
745
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,160
learning about ministry.
746
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:30,460
And then now I get invited to be a youth minister at a church and I'm in this beautiful, wonderful
747
00:34:30,460 --> 00:34:36,460
church and Comanche, Texas, of all places, central Texas, little bitty town, central
748
00:34:36,460 --> 00:34:37,460
Texas.
749
00:34:37,460 --> 00:34:40,840
And I loved getting to be a part of that church.
750
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,400
And I was there for four years and I was the youth minister.
751
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:49,360
And then I became the associate pastor later with Pastor Don Longoria, wonderful man of
752
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:50,780
God.
753
00:34:50,780 --> 00:34:54,840
Still consider him a pastor and a mentor in my life from a distance.
754
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:59,520
So here I was as a youth pastor, but I was still rough, long hair, plain and...
755
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:00,520
You're still rough right now.
756
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:01,520
I know.
757
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:02,520
I'm playing in a Christian rock band.
758
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,680
We had this great band.
759
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,320
We did all these youth events.
760
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:12,200
And so naturally, guess what kind of young people, kids in high school were attracted
761
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,840
to me because I'm a guitar, I'm a lead guitar player.
762
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,080
I've still got long hair.
763
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,720
I still wear rock and roll t-shirts.
764
00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:20,160
And here I am in a Baptist church.
765
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,520
Not a fit, but I was a misfit if there ever was one.
766
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:25,580
But here I was.
767
00:35:25,580 --> 00:35:28,160
And so we did these big youth events.
768
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,160
We'd fight the whole community out.
769
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,440
We'd see a lot of kids come out for what we call fifth quarter rallies.
770
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,920
Our band would rock and jam out in the parking lot with big lights.
771
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,520
And it was a magical time, honestly, in youth ministry.
772
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:50,120
And what happened was a bunch of skaters and kids that were jamming on Metallico, the black
773
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,360
album, they were all into it.
774
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,040
They were coming to our meetings because they loved the music and then they knew I was rough
775
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,320
around the edges.
776
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,160
We started drawing all these young people that were really rough around the edges.
777
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:05,200
Of course, our church was like, oh my gosh, these are the wrong kind of kids.
778
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,880
I'm like, no, this is who Jesus is going after.
779
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,280
I still don't understand that.
780
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,360
Why would a church want to turn away people that don't look like them?
781
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:14,960
In their defense, they just didn't.
782
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,360
Honestly, they didn't know any better.
783
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,360
I know, I just don't get that.
784
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,400
I have great compassion for that and great grace for that.
785
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,840
So it was shocking.
786
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,320
But God was drawing these rough kids, especially the skater crowd.
787
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,520
Man, I love the skater guys.
788
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:29,520
They were raw.
789
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:30,520
They were honest.
790
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:31,520
They were intellectual.
791
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:32,520
They were sharp.
792
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:37,560
And I had these great conversations just sitting on the tailgate of a pickup out in the parking
793
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,880
lot at night with these guys.
794
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:46,960
And I remember someone let me know, they came by the church and they said, look, this group
795
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,600
of guys, and these are guys that had given their hearts to Christ.
796
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,320
Man, I was helping them, was discipling them.
797
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:59,480
He said, they're over in another town, it's like 20, 30 minutes away, and they're drunk.
798
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,400
They're just smashed to other minds.
799
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,400
And it just got all over me.
800
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,760
I jumped in my 72 Volkswagen Bug.
801
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:07,760
I know.
802
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,040
Had a great cassette player though.
803
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,040
Oh my gosh.
804
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:14,400
And I drove over to this other town and I found them.
805
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,200
I hunted them.
806
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,800
I prayed the whole way.
807
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,840
Lord God, these guys just gave their lives to Jesus.
808
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,320
And here they are drinking and partying.
809
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,860
And I was that kid too.
810
00:37:26,860 --> 00:37:28,920
So I knew exactly what was going on.
811
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,600
I said, God, somehow help me find them.
812
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,960
And I felt like the Lord led me to drive to the downtown.
813
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,560
There's a drag, you know, every town in Texas has a drag.
814
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,360
I went down on the drag.
815
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:42,560
Sure enough, I found them.
816
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:43,720
I pull up behind them.
817
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:50,120
I'm flashing my lights in my Volkswagen and we pull over in a parking lot and I just,
818
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,360
they're all, they're smashed.
819
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,360
And I get it.
820
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:54,600
I was that kid.
821
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:59,880
So we get out and I just said, man, guys, I'm not here to berate you.
822
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,320
I'm not here to put you down.
823
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,240
I'm not here to call you out.
824
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:04,960
I'm here to call you up.
825
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:11,960
And I'm here to tell you, I love you so much that I drove from Comanche to get over here
826
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,640
to just tell you, I love you.
827
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,640
But more importantly, God loves you.
828
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,680
And I just, I broke in front of these guys.
829
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,400
I just started to cry and it wasn't a weird cry.
830
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,240
It was just a, it was pure and it was passionate.
831
00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:26,760
It was from the heart.
832
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,200
And I said, watch these guys break right in front of me.
833
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,680
All three of them, there's three of them.
834
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:37,640
And man, they were just like repentant and sorry and apologize.
835
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,800
We all drove back to Comanche in a little, little train.
836
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,120
I mean, they were in a car and I was in the car and I said, let's just go home.
837
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:45,760
And I went home that night and you know what?
838
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:50,720
Those guys became faithful in our youth group and some of them did, some of them didn't,
839
00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:52,180
some of them went on.
840
00:38:52,180 --> 00:39:00,400
And yet I just will never forget the overwhelming feeling that no matter what I've got to drive,
841
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,120
I'll go wherever I need to go to reach these young people.
842
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:09,120
I'll never forget it because it imprinted my heart and gave me such a love for these
843
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,120
young people.
844
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:15,920
It imprinted a seed and who knows what who's watered that seed over time.
845
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:20,160
I will say this crazy enough on social media, every once in a while I hear from one of them.
846
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:21,160
Really?
847
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,160
It's really cool.
848
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,160
That's awesome.
849
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,200
God's worked and God's done a work in that, in that one young man's life.
850
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,200
And they'll never forget you.
851
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:37,280
I'll never forget the, the Stoney school teachers that spent multiple hours with me every week
852
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:43,120
discipling me, teaching me from the age of 10 till I was about 13 in a church.
853
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,920
I'll never forget them.
854
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:52,200
So you have to ask the question, what motivates a person to give away an evening, a day, an
855
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:58,760
afternoon to sit with another person, to simply say, I'm not here for me.
856
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,160
I'm here for you.
857
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,240
And I'm here because God put this on my heart to be with you.
858
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:07,880
It's understanding a calling that we all have.
859
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,040
That's a change to life.
860
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,400
That's a change to life.
861
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:11,400
It sure is.
862
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,400
I know I've noticed a crop in doing this 38 years.
863
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:23,440
I'm not exactly a newbie and I've seen so many people get excited about God, get excited
864
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,240
about Jesus, step over the line, get baptized.
865
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:27,280
Oh my gosh.
866
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:33,000
Their front row, then six months later, eighth row, then their 20th row, and then they're
867
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,000
out.
868
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,000
They're out the door.
869
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,000
It's like, what is it?
870
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:45,520
Life happens, but they don't have the foundation to withstand when the tornado comes or the
871
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:46,520
wind blows.
872
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,600
I think there's a couple of things going on.
873
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,040
It's not even just that.
874
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,200
Cause a lot of people blame the church.
875
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:53,960
Well, the church didn't disciple them.
876
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,640
The church didn't take care of them.
877
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:56,640
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
878
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:57,960
Wait a minute.
879
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:06,440
When I was a young new Christian, I was so self motivated because I knew God saved me.
880
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,000
You were really saved.
881
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,000
It makes you wonder if some were not saved.
882
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,280
That's what I wonder about.
883
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,920
I'm just throwing that out there for thought.
884
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:23,380
I think there are a lot of people who are, what's the right word?
885
00:41:23,380 --> 00:41:28,120
They're in a dangerous place because they think they are and they may not be.
886
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,920
Jesus said that you must be born again.
887
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,640
You must be born from above.
888
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,600
And then he said this, you must be born of the spirit.
889
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,520
This is all John chapter three.
890
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,640
You must be born of the spirit.
891
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:45,600
I think there are a lot of people who they get an adrenaline pump.
892
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,560
They get a dopamine dump and they're like, I feel so good.
893
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:54,480
And then when the good wears off, the adrenaline wears off, the dopamine wears off, the pump
894
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:55,480
wears off.
895
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,320
Then it's like, wait a minute, this is going to cost me something.
896
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,600
Wait, I got to give up something.
897
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,720
I got to lay my life down for this.
898
00:42:02,720 --> 00:42:03,720
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
899
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:05,080
That's not what I signed up for.
900
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,080
And they bail.
901
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,720
And I'm not mad at those people.
902
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:14,260
I have a massive compassion heart because I'm like, oh, you are so close to the kingdom
903
00:42:14,260 --> 00:42:16,040
of God.
904
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:21,720
Because there is a dying to self that has to happen, a giving up of your life before
905
00:42:21,720 --> 00:42:27,080
transformation comes, before change, a changed life.
906
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:31,840
So just from your perspective, Annette, because we come from different backgrounds, similar
907
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:32,840
but different.
908
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:40,000
We come from the same area, West Texas, but we had vastly different backgrounds and stories.
909
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,400
What does it mean for you?
910
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,160
What does a changed life really mean?
911
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:46,160
A changed life.
912
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,040
See, when I get up in the morning, the first thing I think about is the Holy Spirit.
913
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,920
So I say, good morning, Holy Spirit.
914
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,200
I want to get in a devotion first thing.
915
00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:00,040
Sometimes I'll get sidetracked because I'm not perfect.
916
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,700
I'm one of those not perfect people, no perfect people allowed kind of in our church.
917
00:43:04,700 --> 00:43:09,920
And I'll go, you know, I'll look at an email or something and I have to just sit there
918
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,860
and go, wait a minute, I need to start my day with Christ.
919
00:43:13,860 --> 00:43:16,100
And so I do my little devotion.
920
00:43:16,100 --> 00:43:21,160
The thing is for me is he's with me all day long.
921
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,240
You know, we have this dialogue that goes on.
922
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:27,320
You know, we talk to ourself all the time.
923
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:32,320
And instead of me just talking to myself, I turn that dialogue into talking and conversing
924
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,920
with God because we all do that, right?
925
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,880
We all talk to ourselves.
926
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:38,880
It's an inner monologue.
927
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,400
It's an inner monologue.
928
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:46,440
And so now I have this, and I call it dialogue because I'm listening to what he's saying.
929
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:51,060
So it's not just a monologue to, you know, I'm not just the only, I'm just not just talking
930
00:43:51,060 --> 00:43:52,060
to God.
931
00:43:52,060 --> 00:43:53,060
I'm listening.
932
00:43:53,060 --> 00:44:00,400
And I go through my life really seeking him daily.
933
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:05,840
And as a Christian, that's what it's all about is to seek him.
934
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:09,480
He gives us an assignment and it's the person you walk with.
935
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:10,860
It's the person you live with.
936
00:44:10,860 --> 00:44:12,960
It's the person you work with.
937
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,680
It's the person you play with.
938
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:21,240
You know, we have an assignment to be the light so that we're drawn, people are drawn
939
00:44:21,240 --> 00:44:22,240
to us.
940
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:26,520
We don't have to go up and ask every single person if they know Christ.
941
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:32,640
We should be, people, we should be so compelling that people want to know what is it that makes
942
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:33,640
you smile?
943
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,380
What is it that makes you have a good day?
944
00:44:35,380 --> 00:44:36,380
What is it?
945
00:44:36,380 --> 00:44:37,380
You know what I'm saying?
946
00:44:37,380 --> 00:44:38,380
Absolutely.
947
00:44:38,380 --> 00:44:39,380
And I love that.
948
00:44:39,380 --> 00:44:40,380
It's wonderful.
949
00:44:40,380 --> 00:44:43,640
There's a scripture that I learned as a young Christian, a new Christian, actually I was
950
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:49,560
shared the youth minister, Ricky Ketron back in the day said, man, you need to learn this
951
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:50,560
verse.
952
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:55,380
And so I looked it up and he shared it with me and I remember laying on my bed in a duplex
953
00:44:55,380 --> 00:44:58,680
in the, in the total tech ghetto of Lubbock, Texas.
954
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,520
It called it the tech ghetto.
955
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,800
Now it's like really nice, but back then it was a ghetto and I'm laying on my bed.
956
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:10,920
I'm reading this verse out of my first real Bible and it stuck with me and it's it's second
957
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,560
Corinthians five 17.
958
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:13,560
Oh yes.
959
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:14,560
I love it.
960
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:19,840
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
961
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,720
All things have passed away.
962
00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:25,160
Behold all things are new, have become new.
963
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:26,160
Isn't that powerful?
964
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:27,160
Yes.
965
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,160
A new creation.
966
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:32,320
It's an, it's what one person termed a new creation reality.
967
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:37,840
When I love this goes along with what we talked about last week, which in Jude one, one, we
968
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:44,580
are called that we are loved and we are kept and you literally preached on that this Sunday
969
00:45:44,580 --> 00:45:47,240
because we thought about it every day.
970
00:45:47,240 --> 00:45:50,960
You were just like, not, not preach on what I was going to.
971
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:51,960
This is it.
972
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:53,560
I have to, I even posted about it.
973
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:58,720
I did a devotional today, which is on our website, living up and down world.com shameless
974
00:45:58,720 --> 00:45:59,720
plug.
975
00:45:59,720 --> 00:46:00,720
Yeah, go there.
976
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:06,440
I have devotional that I brought them every day or on there, but I could not not talk
977
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:07,440
about that.
978
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,440
Right.
979
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:15,320
It is so imprinted me one of the most powerful scriptures I've read and I can't even tell
980
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:21,400
you how long it, it, it just, it, it just rings so loud in me.
981
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,320
Every day you shared it with a girl.
982
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:25,320
You are the catalyst.
983
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,440
Oh, I just remember you're the talent.
984
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:28,440
I'm just the producer.
985
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,540
No, that's a, that's a Tina Adam.
986
00:46:30,540 --> 00:46:34,760
But it's still the same and I'm tweaking and pushing sliders here and doing stuff, you
987
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,760
know, stuff like that.
988
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:43,160
But, um, you, you shared that with me again after a workout on a Monday, wasn't it?
989
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:47,800
That's why I like to have a cast after a Monday because I'm rocking out during a workout and
990
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,600
then here you are listening to the word of God.
991
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,800
Maybe I'm a little more spiritual than you.
992
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,800
Oh no, I'm just kidding.
993
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:54,800
Wow.
994
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:55,800
Wow.
995
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:56,800
Okay.
996
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,800
You set off.
997
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:05,480
Well, I just, that's, uh, uh, sometimes I listen to music, but these days, I'm in a
998
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:06,480
season.
999
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:11,600
I just have to hear it's the only thing that helps me get up in a down world.
1000
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:12,600
I hear you.
1001
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:17,280
But what I love is that you get in the word of God and then you like filter it to me.
1002
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:18,280
I get the Cliffs notes.
1003
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,000
I tell you all about it in the car.
1004
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:25,520
And then we watch it and you know, so, and it's, it can be random.
1005
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:30,000
Sometimes I'll just pull up YouTube and I'll just put a name in and it'll come up and I'll
1006
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,600
listen and it's just what I need in the moment.
1007
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:37,960
Isn't that what a relationship is about is like God speaks into one of us.
1008
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,280
And then we're like, you gotta hear this.
1009
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:41,400
You've got to listen to this.
1010
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:42,400
And I do that too.
1011
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:43,400
We, it works both ways.
1012
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,120
It's a beautiful exchange.
1013
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:47,560
And uh, I love that.
1014
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:52,960
And so when you brought up Jude one and we looked at that scripture, I was, I was, I
1015
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,520
was slaying to you as it did to me slayed by it.
1016
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:57,520
Yes.
1017
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:03,000
I mean, and then you told called into this podcast and then he read the book of Jude.
1018
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,480
He was like, Oh my gosh, this and fat.
1019
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:06,480
Okay.
1020
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:07,480
That's the whole point of this podcast.
1021
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:08,480
There you go.
1022
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:13,120
Point you to the word to Jesus himself.
1023
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:14,120
And that's it.
1024
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:15,120
Yeah.
1025
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,160
So let's just go ahead and give up while we're doing this.
1026
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:18,760
This is our why.
1027
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:27,680
Our why is that we want you to know the person of Jesus Christ, not religion, not just church,
1028
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,600
but the person of Jesus Christ.
1029
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,720
Go to church.
1030
00:48:31,720 --> 00:48:32,720
Exactly.
1031
00:48:32,720 --> 00:48:36,200
Does not make you, it doesn't make you a Christian no more than going to McDonald's makes you
1032
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:37,200
a Big Mac.
1033
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:38,200
Exactly.
1034
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,040
I loved Big Macs growing up.
1035
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,040
I'm weird.
1036
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:42,040
I loved them.
1037
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,160
But anyway, I'm suddenly hungry.
1038
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,760
But anyway, we haven't had dinner and it's like eight o'clock.
1039
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:47,760
Yeah.
1040
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:54,480
So anyway, our whole point of doing this is because we, our heart is to point you to Jesus.
1041
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:59,320
And I want to say thank you for, they've had many people write in and say, you know what?
1042
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,320
I'm, I'm stepping back into my faith podcast.
1043
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:08,280
And also because of what Adam and Tina are doing with a curry and the keeper, they, they
1044
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,080
continue to share their faith journey and share what God's doing.
1045
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,320
People are coming saying, you know, I'm coming back.
1046
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,280
I'm so excited.
1047
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,720
This is the whole point of podcast period.
1048
00:49:19,720 --> 00:49:22,000
It started with the God casters.
1049
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,560
It's going to end with the God cast.
1050
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:25,560
Come on now.
1051
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,760
I mean, God dropped this into Adam's heart.
1052
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,520
19 didn't even know why.
1053
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:34,200
Didn't know for sure, but look what God's doing.
1054
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:35,840
So we want to thank you for listening.
1055
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,760
And I just kind of do some shout outs.
1056
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:42,440
I mean, my gosh, we could preach for hours, but I'm going to do some shout outs.
1057
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:43,440
Listen to this.
1058
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:44,440

1059
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,440

1072

It could be through simply on PayPal through living up in a world.com or, or, or emails.

00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,200
It's just a way of saying thank you for what you're doing.

00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:26,200
So thank you.

We appreciate you and thanks for encouraging us and supporting us.
1111
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:57,800
It means a ton.
1112
00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:58,800
It really does.
1113
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:03,080
It makes what we're doing just so worthwhile and then we can bless it forward.
1114
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:04,080
Exactly.
1115
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:05,080
Which is so our heart.
1116
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:10,680
And one more shout out to Mr. Adam, the pod father, Curry for being our founding donor.
1117
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:11,680
He is.
1118
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:12,680
Boom.
1119
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:13,680
He was our first one.
1120
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:14,680
I know.
1121
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,720
Thanks brother for the encouragement and the support.
1122
00:52:16,720 --> 00:52:18,520
We love you and family.
1123
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,920
We want you to know we love you and our heart for you is Jesus.
1124
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,000
Our heart for you is the good news.
1125
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,760
It's very simple by the way.
1126
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,200
It's simply this.
1127
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:33,160
Jesus lived the life we should have lived and he died the death.
1128
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,560
We should have died in our place.
1129
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:41,840
And then after he died, three days later, he was raised from the dead, proving that
1130
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:45,280
he's the son of God and proving his love for you.
1131
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:52,240
And that he says this, that if anyone would believe in him, he would come into our lives.
1132
00:52:52,240 --> 00:52:55,760
He would forgive us of our sins and he would be with us forever.
1133
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,000
The scripture says we will not perish.
1134
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:00,880
That is our heart for you.
1135
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:01,880
God bless you.
1136
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:03,760
Thank you for listening today.
1137
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:04,760
We are so.
1138
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:05,760
Oh my God.
1139
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:06,760
I love you.
1140
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:07,760
Hey, blessings to you our friends.
1141
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:08,760
We love you.
1142
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:09,760

1144
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:11,760
We'll see you next week.
1145
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:12,760
God bless you.
1146
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:32,240
Bye bye.
