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

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

00:01:54,520 --> 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 -->

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

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

--> 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 -->

00:52:03,080 --> 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
