00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Don't get down when you're seeing the worst,
2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
cause the last will be the first.
3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
What a day I'm telling you,
4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
all things will be new.
5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Living up in a down world.
6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Yeah we're living, yeah we're living,
7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
living up in a down world.
8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Oh!
9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
This is Jimmy DeNette and we are excited that you are here with us today
10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,000
on living up in a down world.
11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
And we just want to welcome you to episode number 75.
12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
How are you doing over there? Gorgeous?
13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,000
I'm doing great. How are you?
14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Oh you look amazing with your new glasses.
15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,000
You got new specs.
16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
I know.
17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Yeah, they look fantastic. You look smart.
18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
I didn't think I would ever buy any glasses and wear them,
19
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
but this is kind of a, I don't know, Tina says they're sassy.
20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
So I decided I want to be sassy this week.
21
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
But I am going to wear my contacts a lot too.
22
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
But I'm going to be outside some this afternoon
23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
and these are transitions, which I like.
24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
I like that too. In fact, I'm going to order some too.
25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
I did have to go get my glasses redone because
26
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
they actually messed up on the width of my eyes.
27
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Which is weird.
28
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Well when I talk to them, you know how it is,
29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
they tell you, okay, you need to wear these for a week
30
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
because you've got to get used to them.
31
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
It was giving me a literal splitting headache
32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
because my eyes, I kept thinking,
33
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
okay, I'm going to get used to these.
34
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
You never could.
35
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
I'd stumble over things because everything was real warbly.
36
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
That's the best word.
37
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
That's what was wrong with you.
38
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Literally, I would just drag my feet on the carpet
39
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
because I had no perception of depth because my eyes,
40
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
anyway, took them back.
41
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
I put them in a drawer out of frustration.
42
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
For months.
43
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
I paid a lot of money for these.
44
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
I put them in five months later.
45
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
They were like, yeah.
46
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,000
They re-measured.
47
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
They said, oh, yeah, these are off.
48
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
I'm like, thanks.
49
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,000
They said, hey, no charge.
50
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,000
We got you covered.
51
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Anyway, should get them back maybe today.
52
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Tomorrow we'll see.
53
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Then you ordered another pair.
54
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Warby Parker.
55
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
How many pairs are you going to have now?
56
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
I have a bunch because I've got one from six years ago.
57
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
I only have two now.
58
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Which is good.
59
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
It's a transition thing because that's in and out of the sun.
60
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,000
We travel.
61
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,000
We're in car a lot.
62
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Our son-in-law and Adam both have transitions.
63
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
I didn't even realize Adam's were transitioned
64
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000
until they were in our house.
65
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
I was like, maybe I should try that.
66
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
He loves them.
67
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Brandon loves them.
68
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
You're liking yours so far.
69
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
You've had them a few days.
70
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
By the way, they just look fantastic on you.
71
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
I know they're different.
72
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
I like them though.
73
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
You said they make me look smart.
74
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Smart.
75
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,000
You go, girl.
76
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Do I want to look smart or do I want to look sexy?
77
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
You said smart is sexy.
78
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000
My glasses have just arrived.
79
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000
I just got a text.
80
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Oh, wow.
81
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000
As we're talking.
82
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Yay me.
83
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,000
I'm super stoked.
84
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Hey, we've got to get this over with.
85
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Oh, so you can run to them.
86
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000
No, I'm kidding.
87
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,000
I'm kidding.
88
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Welcome to our podcast.
89
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
We're glad you joined us today.
90
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,000
You didn't hear what I just said either.
91
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
No, say it again.
92
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
I said I...
93
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Sorry.
94
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000
I know.
95
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000
You got so excited.
96
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
I was off to the races.
97
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Off to the races.
98
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
You cannot do two things at once.
99
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
That's true.
100
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
No, I said you said they made me look smart.
101
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
I said, well, I don't know if I want to look smart.
102
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
You said, well, smart is sexy.
103
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,000
I'm like, oh, okay.
104
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
If smart is sexy, then I want to look smart.
105
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Oh, absolutely.
106
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Isn't that funny?
107
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,000
I know.
108
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000
I know.
109
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Anyway, yeah, I'm stoked.
110
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
I'm super shy.
111
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
I'll run over there after this.
112
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000
I cannot believe that you've got to text the minute we go on.
113
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Literally, while we're talking about it, what are the odds?
114
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Because usually you have to call them.
115
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Yeah, a lot of times they're not good about calling.
116
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000
They'll be in for a week and then go, oh, yeah, they just came in.
117
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Yeah, right, they've been in for a week.
118
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Totally pumped.
119
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Yeah, it gives me something to look forward to besides just having a great day.
120
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,000
Then we can check your prescription and send it to Warby and get you some transition.
121
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Super pumped about that.
122
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
You're high maintenance.
123
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Wait, we are high maintenance?
124
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,000
No, you're high.
125
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Wow.
126
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Like I said, four, I think four pairs of glasses.
127
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000
My mom used to say that's the pot calling the kettle black.
128
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Oh, wow.
129
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,000
That was her saying.
130
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000
I'm as high maintenance as you are.
131
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
My parents had lots of isms and I picked up on a lot of them.
132
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Yeah.
133
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Living up in a down world, that's what we're doing here today.
134
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:30,000
In terms of developments of a week, the only weird thing that I would say is kind of newsworthy this week is what happened last night,
135
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
which was the debate between Kamala and Trina.
136
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,000
I did not watch because I knew we would get enough information on Facebook from our friends.
137
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,000
I couldn't watch because the cringe factor for both of them is so high.
138
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
I was like, I can't stand an hour, hour and a half of cringe.
139
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Well, it's not going to change who I'm voting for anyway.
140
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Not at all.
141
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000
I read a post from a friend.
142
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:57,000
I won't name her name, but she wrote, okay, after watching the debate, who are you going to vote for now?
143
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
I'm like, why would that have – why would that change?
144
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
I don't want to call your friend dumb, but that's not a great question.
145
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000
No, it wasn't because I'm like, why would it change who you're voting for?
146
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
At the end of the day, we're not voting for a person.
147
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,000
We're voting for a platform and the 5,000 to 8,000 appointments that will happen.
148
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:22,000
So, you're voting for a whole spectrum of platform that's most aligned with biblical and godly values.
149
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Well, I wanted to write back and say, why would that change who I vote for?
150
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Because I'm not voting because they were good at debating.
151
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Because for one, Kamala Harris is a politician. She knows how to debate.
152
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
She was very well rehearsed.
153
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
She was trying to be coached. Yeah, rehearsed.
154
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Whereas Trump is a businessman, probably – and we know he's not good at debating.
155
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
And he's a straight shooter. He's a straight shooter.
156
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
He's not even playing around. So, yeah, it's going to be different.
157
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
And he's so busy always defending himself.
158
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Yeah.
159
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Well, he's so busy doing 44 interviews since Kamala came out to say she's running for office.
160
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
And she's not done –
161
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
She's spoken to the press seven times total.
162
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Oh, okay. I didn't thought it was zero.
163
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
No, not even interviews. Just little –
164
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Somebody caught her walking somewhere seven times, 44 times because he's so engaged.
165
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000
And he's actually campaigning. He's actually out on the campaign trail, packing arenas
166
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000
without having to bus and ship people in to make it look like everybody's for you.
167
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000
So, it's true. Okay, so all I'm going to say on that.
168
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Let's keep moving forward.
169
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000
I want to get bogged down on this because I'm really excited about our topic today.
170
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000
And it's this. Well, first of all, a couple of things.
171
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000
We're going to ask you to go to our website, livingupinadownworld.com.
172
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,000
We've had some emails come in this week. Super encouraging.
173
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Some of our personal nature. So, I don't want to – you know, I mean, we appreciate that.
174
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000
We're here for you. We want to encourage you and pray for you.
175
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Every time you write us, it's a reminder to pray for you by name.
176
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,000
So, keep them coming. We want to hear from you.
177
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,000
And we've had some great donations come in.
178
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Yeah, oh, praise God.
179
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,000
From several people. Cole, he just gave again.
180
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Thank you, Cole.
181
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,000
And Julie's given and Martha's given and several are giving.
182
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000
And it's just – it's blessing us.
183
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,000
It really is.
184
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
And we know that we are blessed to be a blessing.
185
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000
And so, they will be blessed because they were a blessing to us.
186
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Absolutely.
187
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,000
It's just beautiful and we want to thank you so much for all of your kind – kind givings.
188
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,000
And then, of course, we always have a Straper Boost from Adam.
189
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Not yet. Not yet. He's slow on a draw.
190
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,000
He didn't do it last week.
191
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000
It's because they traveled and been in Mexico.
192
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Yeah, that's true.
193
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,000
So, he hasn't been thinking.
194
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,000
We can't even do the Straper Boost.
195
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
I can't even do the Straper Boost. Adam, you're too slow.
196
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Yeah, I'm too slow.
197
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Slow to the party.
198
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
199
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
No Straper Boost for Adam Curry.
200
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,000
So, I'm going to do a pre…
201
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,000
No.
202
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Okay, I won't do.
203
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,000
A pre-stra –
204
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,000
I'm going to do a pre-strapper.
205
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,000
No, don't do it.
206
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,000
No.
207
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Because I know he's going to hear this and lose his mind.
208
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,000
No, you got to wait until next week.
209
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Okay, you heard that Adam.
210
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
Mama A, Damonette has spoken.
211
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Yeah.
212
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Nose dropper boost for you.
213
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Nose dropper boost.
214
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
So, go to our website, livingupinadoworld.com.
215
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
By the way, go to the blog section.
216
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,000
It's listed across the top.
217
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000
You just click on blog.
218
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
I do have a daily post there.
219
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:17,000
And it's just a little short, about five to six sentences, encouragement from the Word
220
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,000
of God.
221
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,000
And it's just my way of encouraging you on your journey.
222
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000
And, so go check those out.
223
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,000
They're up there every day.
224
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
You can go back in the archives.
225
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Read today's because it's important.
226
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Thank you.
227
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Because of what today is.
228
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Thank you, thank you.
229
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Now, that's different.
230
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,000
I didn't post that.
231
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,000
That's not my blog.
232
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,000
That's just one thing I did.
233
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Okay.
234
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,000
I did two things.
235
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,000
I did my actual – it's called the daily grind or the morning grind.
236
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
I saw the one about what today represents.
237
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000
You saw the one.
238
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Okay.
239
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000
So, let's talk a little bit about that because I think that's really important.
240
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Yes, it is.
241
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Today is called Patriot Day, not Patriot's Day because Patriot's Day is another federal
242
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,000
holiday.
243
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Patriot Day is not a federal holiday.
244
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Which should be, really.
245
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,000
But it was a day – George W. back in 2002 declared this day, September 11th, Patriot
246
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Day, to remember those who lost their lives at 9-11, ground zero.
247
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,000
And that was – that day will always go down in history.
248
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000
It's just a marker for my generation.
249
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Well, and last week we watched the Netflix series on 9-11 and in depth.
250
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Powerful.
251
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:36,000
And it really – for those of you who don't really know what happened, it's a great series
252
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
to go watch on Netflix because it will enlighten you.
253
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,000
It's good.
254
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000
This new generation doesn't know about 9-11.
255
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
I remember –
256
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
For our generation it's a reminder.
257
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,000
For the next generation it's this is what happened and why you have to go through TSA
258
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
at the airport.
259
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
I remember talking to a –
260
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000
A lot of different things have changed.
261
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,000
I remember talking to a family member and they told me that another family member was
262
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
married to someone who was home schooled their whole life.
263
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:12,000
But that was never brought up, that event, which marked why we have extra security at
264
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000
the airport, why you have to take off your shoes, why you have to take out your computer.
265
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,000
If you were raised post-9-11, it's normal for you to go through TSA security and all
266
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000
that.
267
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Yes.
268
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000
But our generation is like, really?
269
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
We've got to do this again?
270
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Yes.
271
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
But it's because of 9-11.
272
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000
It is.
273
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,000
I think it's important for people to know our history and what's happened.
274
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,000
So yes, for sure.
275
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Let me let –
276
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Adam, that is not our noise gate.
277
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,000
That's our producer I'm talking to, our executive producer.
278
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
That's Annette's phone.
279
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,000
My phone just went off.
280
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Right next to her microphone.
281
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Yeah.
282
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Last week he said, you need to cut your threshold on your noise gate.
283
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000
You're popping a little bit.
284
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,000
I'm popping a little bit.
285
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,000
And I did that by the way.
286
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Because we're at work, people at work are needing me and I'm like, podcast.
287
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Podcast, podcast.
288
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000
We actually have an on-air sign outside of our office, but nobody ever looks at it.
289
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Our intercom, because our offices are all spread out throughout the building, or our
290
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,000
phones, so people call.
291
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000
That's true.
292
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
And so I have some podcasts.
293
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000
So 9-11 was very enlightening.
294
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,000
So let's go back to that day, because we both remember where we are.
295
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,000
And today is the anniversary.
296
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,920
Today is the anniversary, so we call it Patriot Day.
297
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,400
We were in Midland.
298
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:32,200
We had just come to Midland to work as you were running a foster care agency.
299
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:37,200
Kind of took a hiatus from, you've taken a couple hiatus from ministry, but did ministry.
300
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,200
From church ministry.
301
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,200
From church ministry.
302
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,200
But your ministry never changed.
303
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,200
Right.
304
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,200
It just, who you minister to changed.
305
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,200
Whether it was a church or being employed by a faith-based organization.
306
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:53,120
I think it's important that pastors have an interest in business, and realize that that
307
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,120
is ministry, not always.
308
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,720
Real-world experience, not just church.
309
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,320
Yeah, you can relate to people.
310
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,680
Wow, that's so helpful.
311
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:02,000
That are not in ministry, because you've lived it.
312
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,280
And so I think a lot of pastors just go from school right to that, and they don't know
313
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:14,240
how to relate to the business world, because they don't understand how taxing their life
314
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,240
is.
315
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,720
And for me, that was really good for us.
316
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:25,320
But we took about a year and worked in Midland, and I remember, I don't know if someone told
317
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,320
us to turn the TV on.
318
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,320
No, I think I was...
319
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,320
We were probably...
320
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,960
No, remember, okay, in my office, because I worked out of my home at that point, we
321
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,300
had not reopened the new office.
322
00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:38,160
So I actually had the luxury of being at home with my baby daughter, which was amazing for
323
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,160
that first year.
324
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,560
And I was home with you, because I worked with you.
325
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,560
So Faith, who's 24 now, was a year old.
326
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:44,560
A year old.
327
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:50,880
So I had a little tiny TV, little black and white TV that was in my office, and I didn't
328
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,000
always keep it on, but for whatever reason, it was on.
329
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,320
Or maybe I was online and somebody texted me or something, or I saw it.
330
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,660
But I turned the TV on.
331
00:13:00,660 --> 00:13:07,440
The first plane had hit Building 1, and we were watching it horrified.
332
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,760
And the media was thinking this was just a twin-engine plane, so we were like...
333
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:12,760
At first.
334
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:19,720
But then when we heard what was actually happening, we turned our big TV on, went in the living
335
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,640
room, and I think we were in there for 12 hours watching.
336
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,640
All day long.
337
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,640
All day long.
338
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:26,640
All day long, glued to the TV.
339
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:27,640
I don't know what Faith was doing.
340
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,640
I mean, she was a year old.
341
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:29,640
What were we doing with her?
342
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:30,640
I'm sure we were taking turns, but...
343
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:31,640
Oh my gosh.
344
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,320
It was one of those days where it just marks your life.
345
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,320
It does.
346
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:40,320
You just know in that moment, because we watched the second plane fly in live, we saw that.
347
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,320
We were just in shock.
348
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,200
We were in Building 2.
349
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,280
And then we heard about there's another something going on in Pennsylvania.
350
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,080
Oh no, a building's hit the Pentagon.
351
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,480
And we thought, uh-oh, we're having World War III.
352
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:54,480
We thought full-scale invasion.
353
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:55,480
War, War III invasion.
354
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,120
It felt like... Remember the movie with Patrick Swayze, Red Dawn?
355
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,760
You may not remember that movie, but it was about an invasion, Chinese invasion.
356
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:04,760
I know.
357
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,640
I want to watch that again, because it's been so long.
358
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:14,480
It was one of those movies where you always wonder in the back of your mind, we've had
359
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,560
it so good in America for so long.
360
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:21,000
Our shores have been quite secure until they opened the borders up during the last presidential
361
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,880
administration and put us all in danger.
362
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,240
Now we're living with an invasion from within.
363
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,520
And listen, that may not be your issue where you live, but we live three hours from the
364
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:31,520
border of Mexico.
365
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:32,880
So let me tell you something.
366
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:33,880
It's an issue here.
367
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:34,880
It is an invasion.
368
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:35,880
It is.
369
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:41,000
I was in the parking lot, just caveat here for a moment, to drop off those products at
370
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Goodwill.
371
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:47,080
And there were two guys walking and they were looking in cars in the parking lot.
372
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,960
They were just going by cars, glancing down.
373
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,680
I watched them.
374
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,840
I'm certain they were illegal aliens.
375
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:53,840
Oh my gosh.
376
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,240
Aliens, because of the clothes they were wearing and the look they had.
377
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,480
And they were carrying their phones.
378
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,160
They were walking from Walmart over to the AT&T store.
379
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,560
And in Texas, they're probably looking for guns because people...
380
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,560
Or anything, just an open car.
381
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:06,560
But they...
382
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:07,560
Stuff, anything.
383
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,920
But people do keep their guns there.
384
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:14,480
So I watched them and I didn't get out of my car until they had gone past because I'm
385
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,240
like, my car's running.
386
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,960
I'm dropping this stuff off at Goodwill.
387
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,960
And you don't know if you...
388
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:19,960
I'm not leaving my car.
389
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:20,960
Yeah.
390
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:21,960
Isn't that weird though?
391
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:22,960
Because we've never had to think like that before.
392
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,720
I've never had to be, live so self-aware and have situational awareness like I do now.
393
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,400
And for those of you who, again, don't live around the border, maybe you're not seeing
394
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,360
this, or maybe you live in another country that's listening to this, but I'm telling
395
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,760
you, we're being invaded from the inside out.
396
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,920
Which is why I don't even go get gas for my car anymore.
397
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,160
I won't even let you do that.
398
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,520
I won't let you go to a gas station by yourself.
399
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,040
It's like, you hardly drive by yourself anymore.
400
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,520
Because thankfully, we work together so we can do that.
401
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,440
But it is a different world.
402
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,320
And listen, this is all post 9-11.
403
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,960
So back to that, 9-11 has marked us.
404
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,920
And what it did, an interesting thing.
405
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,880
We were talking about this yesterday, because we were talking about revival and spiritual
406
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,160
awakening.
407
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,920
And we talked about how after 9-11 for about a month.
408
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:10,920
Oh my goodness.
409
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:11,920
The whole country was in unity.
410
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,920
The world was crying out for Jesus.
411
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:14,920
Yes.
412
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,160
The nation was unified.
413
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:21,560
Even all the countries, because of what was happening, they were unified with us.
414
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,600
It was interesting, because remember they would say, you know, the Prime Minister of
415
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,480
England called, or whoever, and they're praying for you.
416
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,480
Yes.
417
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,120
I don't think I've ever heard God in prayer mentioned more than in that first month.
418
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,120
And then it just went away.
419
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,560
Went silent.
420
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,120
It was like when everything kind of, okay, we're not really under attack.
421
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,240
We're not under invasion.
422
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,720
When everybody felt like it was okay, things went back to normal.
423
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:45,840
And it was not good normal.
424
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:46,840
Other than the airlines.
425
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:47,840
That's the only thing that changed.
426
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:48,840
Yeah, other than those kinds of things.
427
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:56,040
But I'm just saying in terms of people's awareness of God, and desire for God, and need for God.
428
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,680
I really thought this could really begin the third great awakening.
429
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,800
That we would see God move in amazing ways.
430
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,120
And we did for a short time.
431
00:17:04,120 --> 00:17:06,440
And then the window closed.
432
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,440
I think our response was...
433
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,720
And now you think most people don't even remember today.
434
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,400
Or they don't, they haven't kept it in the forefront of their mind.
435
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,560
I think the further away we get from it, the more distractions we have with current events
436
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,800
and what's going on in our world today.
437
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:25,240
I think it just becomes a little blip on the screen as opposed to...
438
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:26,720
This changed.
439
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,640
This fundamentally changed America.
440
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,640
It did.
441
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:30,640
It did.
442
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,640
And the world too.
443
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,840
Because people have always thought America is so secure.
444
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,240
And then boom, we weren't.
445
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:47,360
Which tells us that with our borders open, and we know what happened at 9-1-1 with these
446
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:52,340
people, these evil people coming in from another country.
447
00:17:52,340 --> 00:17:57,360
It's like, why would you even consider having your borders open?
448
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:01,040
It's like our administration has forgotten.
449
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,960
It's like, do you not realize what happened?
450
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,760
It was just another day for them.
451
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,040
And so it's just unbelievable.
452
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,400
The Constitution of the United States guarantees our right to protect our borders.
453
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,480
And we've in Texas have had to fight for the right.
454
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:24,200
We've had to fight our own federal government for a constitutional right to secure our borders.
455
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,960
It has been the most...
456
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,120
It's like the Constitution of the United States, we are a constitutional republic.
457
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:31,740
We are not a democracy.
458
00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:34,200
Let me clarify that for anybody listening.
459
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:40,160
When you hear people say, they're a danger against a threat to our democracy.
460
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,600
We're not a democracy.
461
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,600
Never have been.
462
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,060
We are a representative, a constitutional republic.
463
00:18:46,060 --> 00:18:48,120
We operate by the rule of law.
464
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:51,280
And our rule is based out of the Constitution of the United States, which by the way is
465
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,280
based 34% of the Word of God.
466
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,720
So those are facts.
467
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:01,320
Which the administration and the DOJ, they're like dismissing all that.
468
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,320
They're ignoring it.
469
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:11,120
A friend of mine that was testifying in a DOJ trial against a J6 person was told, and
470
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:12,840
he's a constitutional expert.
471
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:13,840
Lawyer.
472
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,480
And he was told he could not quote the Bill of Rights, he could not quote the declaration,
473
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,640
he could not quote the Constitution.
474
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,280
As a witness on the stand, they objected to him and shut him down.
475
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,880
He could not even refer to our original documents.
476
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,760
Which to me is against the law for them to even say that.
477
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:35,320
How can a court of law tell you, you cannot go back to our original documents, which that
478
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:40,800
court of law by default is based upon?
479
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:45,480
So anyway, I get real fired up talking about this because there's a lot of insanity happening.
480
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:53,440
But 9-1-1 was a trigger that started this freefall of strange events.
481
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,680
Mind you, things were happening before that.
482
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:02,220
But this attack on our shores in the seat of our nation, which at the time in terms
483
00:20:02,220 --> 00:20:07,400
of business and economy was New York City, the World Trade Center.
484
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,840
All of that just was a massive wake-up call.
485
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,000
Life went sort of back to normal for a lot of people.
486
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:21,080
And now I look up all these years later and I'm like, we are no better off now than we
487
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,080
were.
488
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,080
Did we learn anything?
489
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,040
No, we're actually worse off now than we were.
490
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,040
I think we are too.
491
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,040
Yeah.
492
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,040
I think we are too.
493
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,040
Yeah.
494
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:34,240
I think we're back in the days of Noah, where every man did what was right in his own eyes,
495
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,240
the Scripture says.
496
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,280
But on another note, last night, as we were...
497
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,280
Don't wait, there's more.
498
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,280
Well, as we were...
499
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:46,120
I got to have a sip of my JB, my Just Black Riffle coffee.
500
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:48,960
While we were looking at YouTube trying to figure out...
501
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:57,000
Because we usually listen or watch a preaching or a small clip from a preacher because we
502
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,960
love hearing from other preachers.
503
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,400
But I saw, I think you were outside getting our burgers grilled.
504
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,440
Getting the grill ready.
505
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,440
Our pit boss, which is amazing, and getting our burgers grilled.
506
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,160
And I saw...
507
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,520
Someone had told us about Russell Brand being on Tucker Carlson.
508
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,520
I've seen little clips here and there.
509
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,480
Tucker Carlson is doing a 2024 tour.
510
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:28,880
He's touring and he brought Russell Brand and apparently they're really good friends.
511
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:34,400
And I thought, somebody said something about him praying there and getting on his knees.
512
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,320
And I thought, well, I want to see this and I want to hear this because a lot of times
513
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:48,000
when people just become a Christian and we elevate them as a Christian and we put them
514
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,120
in the media and ask them to do all that, they're not ready.
515
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:55,280
Oh my goodness.
516
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,680
So I was skeptical.
517
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,400
Pretty skeptical of where Russell Brand is.
518
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:07,120
And the things that came out of his mouth, the Word of God that came out of his mouth
519
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:09,480
was so...
520
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,000
It reminded us obviously of Adam and Tina and their...
521
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Accelerated growth.
522
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Acceleration.
523
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,280
But Russell was quite impressive.
524
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:26,000
And even, he spoke for a good 45 minutes and then at the end, Tucker said, I'd never do
525
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,800
this, but would you end us with prayer?
526
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:35,240
Of course, the whole room, the whole time he was preaching, he was preaching.
527
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,240
He was an evangelist.
528
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,240
No doubt.
529
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,240
Straight up.
530
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:44,360
But the whole time, every time he would bring up our relationship with Jesus Christ or Scripture,
531
00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:47,240
the whole place, and I don't know exactly where they were.
532
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,820
I don't recall.
533
00:22:49,820 --> 00:22:50,820
Do you recall?
534
00:22:50,820 --> 00:22:52,440
They said where they were.
535
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,160
We'll have to look it up.
536
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,960
It'll hit me when I'm not thinking about it.
537
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,600
But the whole place would just erupt.
538
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:05,920
And it was like, are all these people Christians that are coming to hear Tucker and Russell?
539
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,240
But his prayer, oh my gosh.
540
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,520
I was like...
541
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,960
And he got on his knees and he's so sincere.
542
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,680
He's passionate.
543
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:22,440
And I know he's a comedian and actor and all that, but I felt like he was totally genuine.
544
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,640
And he is transformed because the things that were coming out of his mouth before the prayer
545
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:27,640
were just...
546
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,560
I was like, Jimmy, he is preaching the Gospel.
547
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:31,560
Oh, strong.
548
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,320
He's a better preacher than a lot of preachers out there in churches.
549
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:42,080
And I was quite impressed because I always get skeptical when they put someone on a platform
550
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,080
that is brand new.
551
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,080
We've seen it before.
552
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,080
We've seen it before.
553
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,320
Even Adam Curry when he was on Joe Rogan, he felt compelled to bring up his faith.
554
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,520
But he was even in his interview said, I'm new to this.
555
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,240
I still have a lot to learn.
556
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,240
That transparency was powerful.
557
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,880
And I love that because too many people get up and they try to say...
558
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,960
And it's off.
559
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,920
It's not even the Gospel.
560
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,960
Russell Brand, I got saved yesterday.
561
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,400
I'll just say, just watching him.
562
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,400
It's about time.
563
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,400
I've been praying for you.
564
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,720
I would suggest people go and watch that interview.
565
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,640
It was quite enlightening.
566
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:25,280
But it really showed me, he might've got saved recently, but you could tell he was studied
567
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:30,360
for a long time before he made the commitment.
568
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:33,000
Much like Jordan Peterson.
569
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,920
He is very studied in the Word.
570
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:41,360
And Jordan's not making a step to say I'm a full on believer in Jesus Christ until he
571
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:44,400
knows that he will never go back.
572
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,400
Part of me respects that.
573
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:50,200
Part of it means, yeah, but sometimes you got to take a leap of faith.
574
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:55,880
But he studied and once he does, because I heard Jordan Peterson's wife did step over
575
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:56,880
the line.
576
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,800
But once Jordan does, it's going to be even more powerful.
577
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:09,240
But I love the fact that he's really studied many years before he comes out as a...
578
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,920
But Jordan Peterson had Russell Brand on there too.
579
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,440
So I have to watch that.
580
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,600
I have to watch that.
581
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,960
Because it was so refreshing.
582
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,480
Because this is my take on this.
583
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:27,960
When celebrities come to know Christ and it's real and it's not just superficial, they're
584
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:34,200
going to be so influential in this world as people who look up to them.
585
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,640
And instead of these people like Taylor Swift and others that people look up to, but they're
586
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:44,360
living their life for Satan, Russell Brand.
587
00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:45,360
What are you doing?
588
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:46,840
I'm looking at you.
589
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,200
I'm hearing you just on fire.
590
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:54,520
And I want to say to every wife who listens to this podcast, you want to be hot for your
591
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,000
husband.
592
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,760
Just get in and be on fire for Jesus.
593
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,240
And just straight up saying it.
594
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,240
That gets two hearts today.
595
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,360
I don't have my earbuds on so I didn't know what you were doing.
596
00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:05,360
I was like, what are you doing?
597
00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:06,360
Oh my gosh.
598
00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:07,360
I'm like, no.
599
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:08,360
Now you interrupted my thought.
600
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:09,360
I'm so good.
601
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:10,360
I had to do that.
602
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:16,960
No, but what I'm saying is the influence that celebrities like Adam Curry, like Russell
603
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:24,280
Brand and others that have a large base of influence, they're the ones who are going
604
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,160
to help lead people to Christ.
605
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:31,720
And then hopefully those people will come to our churches, the churches that preach
606
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,200
Jesus and get disciple.
607
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,080
And so I get excited.
608
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,640
We watched Dennis Quaid.
609
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:45,920
He was on TBN apparently it was a few weeks ago right before the movie Reagan came out.
610
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:52,400
And that was beautiful watching him tell the story of that movie and how this is the best
611
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:59,080
movie he's ever done and how it was Reagan's faith that stood out to him the most about
612
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,080
Reagan.
613
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,360
Which I loved what Matt and Lori did because Matt said, that's great.
614
00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:06,520
We want to hear about Reagan, but our listeners want to know more about you.
615
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:12,000
And he shared about his faith and how his mother has played such a role in his faith
616
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,720
journey because she's a praying mama and strong.
617
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,160
And it was just beautiful to hear Dennis Quaid talk about his faith, his walk.
618
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,760
He says a relationship with Jesus Christ.
619
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:24,760
That's the key.
620
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:25,760
That's the key.
621
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,560
I don't like it when people say I'm religious.
622
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,560
No.
623
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:29,560
They mean well.
624
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,800
Religious means you follow these rules and rules of law.
625
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,360
No, it's a relationship.
626
00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:47,640
I really do believe, I think we as Christians need to start looking up to people of faith
627
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:53,040
that are willing to put it out there and not these celebrities that are all about Satan
628
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,320
and they're bringing in what they believe.
629
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,400
Do you see that it's getting more extreme?
630
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:59,400
Yes.
631
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,120
You've got people that are all in with Jesus.
632
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:02,280
Let me just give a list.
633
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,920
I wrote down some of these names.
634
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,800
I'm thinking about people like Mark Wahlberg, Rob Schneider, the comedian, Chris Pratt,
635
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:14,000
John Snyder, the actor, John Rich Country, our own Adam Curry.
636
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,720
You've got all these athletes coming out.
637
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,560
Sorbo, Kevin Sorbo and his wife.
638
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,560
Kevin Sorbo.
639
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,600
I mean the list can go really long because there are a lot of actors and actresses and
640
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,720
people that are in the celebrity and entertainment world who are just straight up saying I'm
641
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:28,720
in with Jesus.
642
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:29,720
Kirk Cameron.
643
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:30,720
Oh, I love Kirk.
644
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:31,720
He gave up.
645
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,720
And his sister, Candice Cameron-
646
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,880
They gave up or Kirk did.
647
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:37,880
Were willing to lose.
648
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:44,160
Doing any movies or dramas that aren't Christian oriented which I appreciate because now I
649
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:49,320
know when they're in a movie and I know it's going to be solid.
650
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,880
It's not going to be something that I'm...
651
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,680
We're not going to have to get up and walk out of the theater which we've done.
652
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,920
And lately every time we try to watch a movie we're like, nope.
653
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,760
We tried one show on the other day.
654
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,080
Within five minutes we were out.
655
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,080
We turned it off.
656
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,080
We were out.
657
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,080
We both looked at each other and said, no way.
658
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,840
We're not going down this track.
659
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:11,400
But all this to say is that one of our conversations was...
660
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,080
And by the way the third one we watched was Alice Cooper.
661
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,080
That was so good.
662
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,920
Man, Alice Cooper being interviewed by Pastor Greg Laurie.
663
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,960
Who was one of the best interviewer I've ever heard.
664
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,080
He's a phenomenal interviewer.
665
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,080
Great questions.
666
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,080
Set him up.
667
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,080
And to hear Alice-
668
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:33,320
It was neat to hear Alice's story because I knew he was a Christian but to hear how
669
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,920
God healed him from drugs and alcohol.
670
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,800
He says, I was not cured of alcoholism.
671
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,240
I was healed of alcoholism.
672
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,080
Because Jesus did it, he said.
673
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,720
Even his own doctor said, you were so severe.
674
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,120
You're such an addict.
675
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,520
And it was alcohol more than drugs for him.
676
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,480
He said, you'll be back here and it will kill you.
677
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:53,480
It will kill you.
678
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:54,480
You will die.
679
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:55,480
You'll die like Kurt Cobain and others.
680
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,960
He said within a month, he said you're not going to make it.
681
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,400
He started throwing up blood.
682
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,680
This was back during his hardcore days.
683
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,320
And he knew Jesus before that.
684
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,200
He was raised in church.
685
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,760
He was raised in Texas down in Houston.
686
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,040
Yeah, in Houston.
687
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,960
And what he does on the stage is total performance, total acting.
688
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:17,960
It's a character.
689
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,280
He said that he even...
690
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:22,720
Is this something I should step away from?
691
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,640
And God told him no.
692
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,600
I've called you to do this.
693
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,320
You're going to be a light in a dark place.
694
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,320
You're going to be a voice.
695
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:34,560
But he said that one part of his lyrics of every song always has to...
696
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:39,440
He always, even going further back, he said some of the songs that people think are the
697
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,000
rowdiest and wild have elements of the gospel in them.
698
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,400
And that his character, Alice Cooper, that he plays on stage, because it's theatrical
699
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,240
rock, always ends with redemption.
700
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,240
Always.
701
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,240
And I never thought about that.
702
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:54,240
His show basically is this.
703
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,240
Alice is dark evil.
704
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,240
Evil versus good.
705
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,120
All the songs are about macabre and all that.
706
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,320
It's all theater.
707
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,720
And then the shows always have where he gets his head cut off in a guillotine.
708
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,000
And everybody's like, oh my gosh, rock and roll.
709
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,000
But he comes back in a white tux with a top hat.
710
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000
And the ending song, the end of concert always ends with redemption.
711
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Which I never thought about.
712
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,880
He said, I've done that on purpose for years.
713
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,040
Not everybody catches it, but a lot have.
714
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,800
But the cool thing, it's not something we're going to go watch because we're not into
715
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:27,800
that.
716
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:28,800
Oh, I don't know.
717
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:29,800
I might take that one.
718
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:30,800
Take that one.
719
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:31,800
Alice Cooper concert.
720
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:32,800
Okay, well you can do that.
721
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,920
But the thing is, there's people that are dark.
722
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,760
That love this kind of stuff.
723
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:38,760
Drawn to it.
724
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:39,760
And they're drawn to it.
725
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,040
But now there's a twist.
726
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:48,600
And he said many people have come to Christ because of his song.
727
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:49,600
And I'm like, wow.
728
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:50,600
I know.
729
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:51,600
That is impressive.
730
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:56,040
But to me, when I'm looking for authentic revival, I'm looking at the fruit.
731
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,200
I'm like, I don't care what you say.
732
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,360
I don't care what you look like.
733
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:00,360
I don't care what you do.
734
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,000
I don't care what kind of ministry you have or how large your church is.
735
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,120
I'm looking at the fruit of your life.
736
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:11,700
Are people in your orbit, people in your circle of influence, your sphere, are they coming
737
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:12,880
closer to Christ?
738
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,160
Are they drawn to Jesus?
739
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,160
Or they just want to be your friend?
740
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,160
They just want to be your buddy?
741
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,880
They're riding your coattails.
742
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,440
And I look for that.
743
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,160
And so you and I have had a lot of conversations about authentic revival lately.
744
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,760
And I've got something I want to throw out and we'll end with this.
745
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,360
And a lot of times, and I've been praying for a long time for revival, spiritual awakening.
746
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,440
A lot of people are, right?
747
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:40,040
And we keep hearing about all these outbreaks of small revivals like a college or a seminary
748
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,440
like Ohio State.
749
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:46,360
Ohio State University football team recently passing out 10,000 Bibles on campus.
750
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:51,480
They're wearing t-shirts around campus called, say, Jesus Strong on it.
751
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:52,880
They're leading people to Christ.
752
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:53,880
They're baptizing.
753
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:54,880
So you've got this.
754
00:32:54,880 --> 00:33:00,040
We had an outbreak down in Corpus Christi, Texas at Texas A&M Corpus where nearly 100
755
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,960
students baptized and they're passing out Bibles on campus.
756
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:03,960
It's unbelievable.
757
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,520
So we've got these outbreaks happening all over.
758
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:13,400
Football teams, not just colleges, but actual NFL teams that are on fire for Jesus or refusing
759
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:20,560
to bend like the Texas Rangers say, no, we're not going to celebrate homosexual day or transsexual
760
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:21,560
day.
761
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,240
We're not going to celebrate that and taking a stand.
762
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:32,840
But then you've got also all kinds of businesses, churches having these revival outbreaks all
763
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,040
over America.
764
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,800
They're popping up everywhere and you're getting reports.
765
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,840
I just got a couple more last night.
766
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:44,200
Let me see if I clip those for my thing because I wanted to keep it.
767
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,040
One of them is, oh, where was that?
768
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,880
It was a revival that happened.
769
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,000
Oh, I don't have it.
770
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,080
I thought I captured that, but it's not there.
771
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,080
Oh, there it is.
772
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,840
A revival in Brazil's Amazon in the Amazon jungle.
773
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:08,000
Listen to this, 14,500 people baptized recently in Northwestern Brazil in the Amazon.
774
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,200
That is moving all over the world right now.
775
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:11,560
Oh, look at Iran.
776
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,240
It has surpassed China.
777
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:16,160
Iran is on fire for Jesus.
778
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:24,000
Listen to this, the scripture says we're sin abounds, grace abounds, all the more.
779
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,600
It's like the darker things get, the more the gospel spreads.
780
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,120
I've always said it, you've heard me say it this way.
781
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,280
I told a couple yesterday, a ministry couple we met with, when I was in high school, I
782
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:40,840
took a whole little container of mercury and poured it out on one of those slate lab class
783
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,960
tables, thinking it would just... I didn't know what it would do, and it went everywhere.
784
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,960
You made a huge mess for yourself.
785
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,640
I made a terrible toxic... That stuff's toxic too.
786
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,640
That's what's wrong.
787
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,440
I created a hazard, no doubt.
788
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,560
It wasn't the first time in lab class, but I poured that out.
789
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,240
I just remember seeing it scattered into a billion pieces.
790
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:06,680
The picture for me now when I think about revival is that the harder something hits,
791
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,120
the more it scatters.
792
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:14,760
The harder things get, and the more difficult... Listen, we have people who listen to our
793
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:21,640
podcasts in Nepal, in Indonesia, Malaysia, all over the world in hard places.
794
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,960
I was looking at where our podcasts are being listened to and downloaded from.
795
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,760
You know what number one download lately is?
796
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:28,760
Nepal.
797
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:29,760
Nepal.
798
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:30,760
Which is unbelievable.
799
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,120
It's harder, hard, hard, hard situations.
800
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,880
That's where the gospel's exploding.
801
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:41,160
Here in America, my prayer has been, Lord, I see all these outbreaks, but like a Texas
802
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:47,240
thunderstorm, you can have scattered showers, but when those storm systems come together,
803
00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:51,240
they converge, they come together, that's when they get powerful.
804
00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:54,320
I've been praying for a long time, Lord, bring them together, bring them together.
805
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,080
I feel like... I didn't hear an audible voice.
806
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,080
I don't hear that.
807
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,960
I wish I did, but I don't.
808
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:07,760
I don't get that level of clarity, but I feel like, I think, and I'm saying it this way,
809
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:13,120
and I'm beginning to believe this, that God is not letting it all coalesce into one big
810
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:19,520
movement because in the past, when revivals have coalesced, man has gotten in and they've
811
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:20,520
monetized it.
812
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:26,240
They start writing songs about it and selling CDs, and the music industry gets involved.
813
00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:29,320
They start packaging sermons and sending them out.
814
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,680
People in Pensacola, Florida, here's the sermon series, and all of a sudden, it turns into
815
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:34,680
an industry.
816
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:40,400
I mean, even at Asbury, as it began to grow, people began to flock there by the thousands,
817
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:46,960
and the young people at Asbury and some of the... had the presence of mind to tell celebrities
818
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:47,960
to stay away.
819
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:48,960
Stay away.
820
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,720
Even the big celebrity preachers like others who were actually asked to come said, I'm
821
00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:57,820
not going to come because it's just a grassroots movement.
822
00:36:57,820 --> 00:36:59,680
It's happening with young people.
823
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:00,680
We're old.
824
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:01,680
We'd mess it up.
825
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:06,760
And so, there is a sense where I believe that God is staying His hand in terms of converging
826
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,480
all these movements.
827
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,320
I think- Well, we have thought that it was never going to look like it used to.
828
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,320
Exactly.
829
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,320
I've said this for years.
830
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,080
I believe we're in the third great awakening right now.
831
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,120
Because you read, and we actually heard Tim Barton-
832
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,720
Tim Barton from Wall Builders.
833
00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:25,720
He was talking to Rick Green on his show, and he said, no.
834
00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:28,080
He was talking to Alan- Pastor Alan Jackson.
835
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:33,400
Pastor Alan Jackson on his show, and he said, the people that were in the first and second
836
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,440
great awakenings didn't even know it was a great awakening until later.
837
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,440
Didn't even know.
838
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:39,440
Didn't even know.
839
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,720
So, we're probably in it and don't know.
840
00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:41,720
I think we are.
841
00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:42,720
I really believe that.
842
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:44,560
And only as few people do recognize it.
843
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,600
Well, when I share this with people, they have an aha moment.
844
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,840
They go, oh my gosh, I see it.
845
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,200
But unless somebody kind of says it, unless you have a template for it, I was thinking
846
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,360
that before I heard Tim Barton say it.
847
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:57,360
For me, that was confirmation.
848
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:58,360
It was confirmation.
849
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,360
Right.
850
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,360
I'm like, I so agree.
851
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,000
He was saying it from a historical perspective.
852
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,960
I'm saying it from a spiritual practical perspective.
853
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,440
So, wherever you are in the world right now, I want you to open your eyes because there
854
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:14,240
is a great awakening happening across the globe right now, and we need to celebrate
855
00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:16,680
it and be thankful for what God's doing.
856
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,360
Let me interject this.
857
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,600
I believe Dallas Jenkins with the Chosen is part of this because of-
858
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,160
Oh, catalytic for sure.
859
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:29,400
He's bringing, he's getting the gospel out to where people can actually see it instead
860
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,920
of just read it.
861
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,160
Movies like The Forge, we went to see The Forge last Friday.
862
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:36,160
Powerful.
863
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,160
Amazing movie.
864
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,160
Powerful.
865
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,240
Nobody in there, but maybe what, six of us in the-
866
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:42,240
Yeah, the whole theater.
867
00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:44,040
Of course, it was a Friday at 2.30.
868
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,040
Right.
869
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,520
But it was a powerful movie.
870
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,640
We were actually going to see Reagan, which we haven't got to see.
871
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:51,640
Go see The Forge.
872
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,520
And it was sold out, and I said, let's see The Forge.
873
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,720
It should have been sold out because it was phenomenal.
874
00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:01,000
It was phenomenal.
875
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:06,920
So I would encourage you, but I love that the Kendrick Brothers, Dallas Jenkins and
876
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:15,480
others, Kevin Sorbo and others, D.R. White are making movies that are really quality,
877
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:26,040
good movies, and hopefully they're drawing the non-Christians in to show, hey, being
878
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,400
a cross follower is a good thing.
879
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:29,400
Yes.
880
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:30,400
It's a fun thing.
881
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:31,400
It's a game changer.
882
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,280
It's not rigid with laws and do's and don'ts.
883
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:43,720
It's about living a fully devoted life that is, yeah, we have our heartaches just like
884
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:48,760
everybody else because he said we would have tribulation, but we can overcome because he's
885
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:49,760
overcome.
886
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:54,320
But I love the fact that there's some good movies out there, really good.
887
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:59,600
Our message to you today is take a pause today, start to look around.
888
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,360
A good source for this news is go to CBNnews.com.
889
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:04,840
I think it's dot com.
890
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:05,840
CBN News.
891
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,080
You can Google that.
892
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,400
And they are tracking these outbreaks all over the place.
893
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:11,960
These football teams, these colleges.
894
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,960
That's where I get most of my information.
895
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:20,960
This was a CBN article on revival gripping the Amazon, Brazil's Amazon, 14,500 people.
896
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,960
I mean, they're just getting started.
897
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,360
These are happening all over the place.
898
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,280
So celebrate what God's doing.
899
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,360
Instead of being, oh no, the sky's falling.
900
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,840
Oh no, what if my candidate doesn't get elected?
901
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,160
I'm done with that.
902
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,840
I mean, I'm going to participate.
903
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:35,840
I'm going to push.
904
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:41,560
I'm going to charge everybody to go vote, especially here in America.
905
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:42,560
Participate in the process.
906
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:43,560
Do your part.
907
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:44,560
Do your due diligence.
908
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,040
But at the end of the day, I'm more excited about revival.
909
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,200
I'm more excited about spiritual awakening that people are coming to Jesus Christ.
910
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,520
Not just celebrities, everywhere, everybody.
911
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:55,520
Everywhere.
912
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:56,520
God is on the move.
913
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:57,520
So we're going to end with that.
914
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:58,520
That's a good note to end on.
915
00:40:58,520 --> 00:40:59,520
