1 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 2: I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 2: fighting for the future of our republic. 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 2: you're gonna end up miserable. 7 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: But if the most important. 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 2: Thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is 9 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 2: a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids 10 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 2: to college. You should get married as young as possible 11 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 2: and have as many kids as possible. Go start at 12 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 2: turning point, you would say college chapter. Go start aturning 13 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 2: point youould say high school chapter. Go find out how 14 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 2: your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. 15 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: I gave my. 16 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 2: Life to the Lord in fifth grade, most important decision 17 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 2: I ever made in my life, and I encourage you 18 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: to do the same. 19 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: Here I am Lord, Use me. 20 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show 21 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver 22 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: experts and the only precious metals company. I recommend to 23 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 2: my family, friends and viewers. I really want to focus 24 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 2: on the five things I learned in the fifteen days 25 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: to slow the spread, which has been a whole year 26 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 2: and it's been very interesting. But one thing I've heard 27 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: a lot of pastors say that don't want to get 28 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: involved is they say, well, it's separation of church and state. 29 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 2: We don't do politics around here. First of all, that's 30 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 2: not biblical, it's not constitutional, it's not moral. But let's 31 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: take their unbiblical, unconstitutional and moral phrase at face value. 32 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: Let's just pretend they're right for a minute. Why don't 33 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: we keep the state out of the church. Then why 34 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 2: don't we say hold on, the government has no business 35 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: what happens in here, because under their own belief they've 36 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,279 Speaker 2: always been worried about the church taking over the state, 37 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: when reality, the threat has always been the state taking 38 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: over the church. And so that's what I want to 39 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: focus on here, and just so everyone has a little 40 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: bit of a baseline, I am an evangelical Christian, a 41 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 2: Bible believing Christians is the most important thing in my life. 42 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: For those people that are here that have never been 43 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: in a church before, welcome, and I encourage all of you, 44 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: and throughout this speech, I'm going to hopefully make a 45 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: case that you need Jesus in your life. There's a 46 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: God who made you in his image, and he wants 47 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: to get to know you, and he wants to get 48 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: in a relationship with you. And why I do what 49 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: I do at turning point, why I speak at churches 50 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: is of course to spread the gospel. But I believe 51 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: that's the most important thing you can do. But if 52 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 2: you don't have the freedom to spread the gospel, we're 53 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: all going to be sharing the gospel from prison. And 54 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: I am not exaggerating, and has happened time and time again. 55 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: That pattern replicates itself. And so the Gospel in four words, 56 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: as Jesus took my place. In three words, it's Him 57 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: for me. In two words, is substitutionary atonement? One word grace, justice, mercy, grace, 58 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 2: what's the difference. Justice you get what you deserve. Mercy 59 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: you get less of what you deserve. Grace someone serves 60 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: the punishment for what you deserve so you can live free. 61 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: That's what we believe. 62 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 2: That's what gets us into action every single day. So 63 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: one thing I'm called to do is to try to 64 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: activate churches and Christians to stand up in this moment. 65 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: It's achiros moment. It's a Greek word for action point. 66 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 2: It's a biblical word. So what are five things I 67 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: learned in the last year of the fifteen days to 68 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: slow the spread? First of all, Number one, science, reason 69 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: are dying, if not dead. One of the most pathological 70 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: things we have seen in the last year is people 71 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: say trust the science, and in reality they have no 72 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 2: business whatsoever ever caring about the science. I'll prove it 73 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: to you science. I believe the more we explore the 74 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: scientific world, the more it actually proves the word of God. 75 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: Thomas Aquinas was the first person that actually wrote about this. 76 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: For example, a spherical earth quarantining the sick not the 77 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 2: healthy are all biblical ideas. You could find that in Leviticus, 78 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 2: the idea of life beginning at conception. All of these 79 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 2: things are in the Bible thousands of years ago before 80 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 2: the scientific discoveries were ever done. The more we learn 81 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 2: the scientific realm, the more we realize that belief in 82 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 2: the world around us without an intelligent creator takes far 83 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 2: more faith in that than faith and believing that there 84 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: was actually an intelligent creator that created you in his image. 85 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 2: I don't have enough faith to be an atheist. So 86 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: science and reason trust the science. They say, they never 87 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: believe that what they're really saying, is trust the scientists 88 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: that we put on television that are wrong about everything. 89 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 2: Doctor Fauci should be fire immediately. 90 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: It's true. 91 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: I'm not going to get into his personal character. I 92 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: don't know the man, but he has no wisdom zero. 93 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 2: This is one of the greatest disservices that we have 94 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: ever done to young people. We fill them with convenient 95 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: facts that fit a narrative, yet there's no wisdom. Why 96 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: where does wisdom begin? What does it tell us? And 97 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 2: proverbs the fear of the Lord, then you get wisdom. 98 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 2: There's no God in our schools. There's no wisdom, and 99 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 2: doctor Fauci is a perfect representation of it. There's no 100 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 2: wisdom in that man, zero, just power, fear mongering and 101 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 2: what I call safety ism. 102 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: So let me prove it to you. 103 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: Trust the science, they say, Okay, if you've already had 104 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: the Chinese coronavirus, why do you have to get vaccinated. 105 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: It's a simple question. I have the antibodies. They say. 106 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 2: First they say masks don't work. Then they say wear 107 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: a mask when you shower. Then they say wear two masks. 108 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 2: And by the way, I am mask agnostic. I don't 109 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 2: mean if you're wearing. I really am no. I mean 110 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: this non sarcastically. And there's people here wearing masks, and 111 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 2: there's people not wearing masks, and I mean this. We 112 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: should never insult people that wear masks. I say that 113 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: non sarcastically, because we believe in liberty. If you believe 114 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: they work, then wear a mask. If you don't believe 115 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 2: they work, then don't wear a mask. It's really not 116 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 2: that hard. 117 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: It's not hard. 118 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 2: What I came up against is the mask mandates that 119 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 2: you're going to go into a private place of worship 120 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 2: or enterprise and say I'm going to. 121 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: Force you to do something. 122 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 2: Which is so incredibly philosophically ironic for the people that say, 123 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: my body, my choice. Reason and revelation, the mixture of 124 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 2: both built Western civilization. Reason is our capacity to solve 125 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: problems in an chaotic natural world. Math, yes, science, what 126 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: is the scientific method? Are we using it? We're using 127 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: the opposite. We're using an unchallenged, unquestioned premise at all costs. 128 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: And so I understand the initial the first two weeks 129 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: where we slowed down, we said, we don't know what 130 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 2: we're dealing with here. What is this virus or the 131 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 2: mentality rates, the infectious rates, who's most at risk. But 132 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: when two weeks became a month, and it became two months, 133 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 2: and we realized who is at risk, what we needed 134 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 2: to do to protect those people, provide services for those people. 135 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 2: Every school in the country should have opened instantaneously. And 136 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 2: so what ended up happening under the guise. 137 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: Of well, trust the science. 138 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: You see, that's a conversation ender because no one ever 139 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 2: wants to be. 140 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: On the wrong side of science. 141 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 2: But science is always about constant and persistent inquiry, always 142 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 2: so Galileo Fray Again, our children don't learn any of 143 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: this stuff. They learn about like Angela Davis or Nicole 144 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: Hannah Jones or Frank Marshall Davis, Galileo who challenged the 145 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: predominant view of the heat of the of the gravitational 146 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: how the Earth or the Sun interacts. Who's are we 147 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 2: the son of the universe? Is is the Sun the 148 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 2: center of our galaxy? And he challenges a heliocentric theory 149 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 2: and he was actually imprisoned for it. And the idea 150 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 2: of challenging something that is dogma is always the right 151 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 2: thing to do. Now, what's amazing is the more you 152 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 2: challenge the truth of the Bible. The mower, it actually 153 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 2: proves itself to be true. We should never be afraid 154 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 2: of inqorey of the Bible. I tell people all the time, 155 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 2: go find me a cheerful, successful, happy person that is 156 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 2: not living consistent with the tone and ten or the Bible. 157 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 2: They might not be saved. But the truths of the 158 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 2: Bible are always true. But there is a God that 159 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 2: created you in his image, and he wants to get 160 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 2: back in a relationship with you, and he sent an 161 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 2: intermediary for you to make that possible so that you 162 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 2: might have eternal life, because we are broken and you're 163 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 2: not going to get there on your own. 164 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 3: You know, we spend a lot of time on this 165 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 3: show talking about culture, about why strong families matter, why 166 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 3: values matter, why faith matters. But here's something practical. If 167 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 3: you actually want to build a strong family someday, you 168 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 3: have to start by meeting someone who shares those same convictions. 169 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 3: And in today's dating culture, that's not always easy. A 170 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 3: lot of apps are built around casual connections, instant gratification, 171 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: no long term vision, and that's just not what many 172 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 3: of you are looking for. Let's be honest. That's why 173 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 3: I like what Upward is doing. It's a dating app 174 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 3: designed around faith and shared values people who care about commitment, integrity, 175 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 3: marriage and family. You're starting from common ground instead of 176 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 3: trying to negotiate your core beliefs three months into a relationship. 177 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 3: That kind of clarity matters if faith is central to 178 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 3: your life, or even if it's something that shaped how 179 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 3: you were raised and how you see the world. Upward 180 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 3: connects you with people who take that seriously. If you're 181 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 3: tired of the confusion and you're ready to date with intention, 182 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 3: with marriage and family in mind, download Upward and start 183 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 3: building on the right foundation. Because strong relationships don't just 184 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 3: happen by accident. They start with shared values. 185 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 2: Upward and so instead the idea of challenging what is 186 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 2: said on TV from fauci or from our public health officials. 187 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 2: And I say this completely honestly. I don't remember your 188 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 2: governor's name because she's not worthy of remembering her name. 189 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: I mean, no, it's actually true. 190 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 4: It's true. 191 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 2: So if you study the Bible, names mean a lot. 192 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: Simon Peter ruck Right, one who struggles with God. I 193 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 2: don't care about her name because she has not done 194 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: anything wise or moral for me to remember it. So 195 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 2: the tyrant who runs your state. But that's how she 196 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 2: will be referred to for the next couple of days. 197 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 2: And I hope she's watching, and I hope her public 198 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: health office is watching. 199 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: I hope they're all watching. 200 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 2: Everyone about Steve is loving all this. By the way, 201 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 2: you could just tell her she will have to answer 202 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: for what she did for the children of this state 203 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 2: by keeping schools closed. She will have to answer for 204 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 2: the drug overdoorses. She will have to answer for the 205 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 2: suicide rate increases. She will have to answer for the 206 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: forty percent of small businesses that will never open again. 207 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 2: She will have to answer for that. And her whole 208 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: team of people that say trust the science. Now here's 209 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 2: how you know that they actually don't believe what they 210 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 2: are saying because they constantly violate their own ordins. They 211 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: eat at French laundry with all of their friends. Like 212 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, he keeps restaurants closed and then he dines 213 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: amongst his other friends. If they actually believed in the 214 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: mandates they were putting forward, they would live by them. 215 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: This goes to number two. And I have to stay 216 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 2: on schedule here because usually around like forty minutes, I 217 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 2: just start to get warmed up. So I got to 218 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 2: work with in the framework here. Okay, number two, the 219 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 2: difference between states matters more than I ever realized. And 220 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 2: I come here to New Mexico and you guys are 221 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 2: a victim of this. And I don't like saying people 222 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: are victims. It's actually against one of my main messages. 223 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: But it's unmistakable that you have been abused by your 224 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: governor and your government in the state. Truly, Other states 225 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 2: like Florida, with the second oldest population in the country, 226 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: have lower hospitalization rates, virus death rates, right, rates are 227 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 2: more important than total macro number. I was arguing with 228 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 2: someone on the left and they said, well, Florida has 229 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 2: more deaths than New Mexico, and I said, well, yeah, 230 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 2: because they have ten times the population. It's a little 231 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 2: bit of a again wisdoms not exactly total attempting. So 232 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 2: and this state has failed the test it has. You're 233 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 2: seeing increases in crime, carjackings, violent crime, teenage issues, the 234 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: likes of which that will take a generation to solve. 235 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 2: Where other states have decided the New Mexico Californi in 236 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: a New York Illinois model, they remain shuttered. What about 237 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: states that are open? The Florida is a great example. 238 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 2: South Dakota is another example. Texas opening, no masks, no 239 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 2: social distancing, no orders. And I know this hurts in 240 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: New Mexico, but let me tell you how it could 241 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 2: be worse. Imagine the whole country was New Mexico. Now, 242 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 2: I know this is a very important point. The states 243 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 2: created the federal government. The federal government did not. 244 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: Create the states. 245 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: We are a federation of states that give up our 246 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: sovereignty to a federated governments. The German model, the Belgian model, 247 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 2: the French model, the Italian model. 248 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way. 249 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 2: When an order comes from the centralized government, everyone follows it. 250 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 2: The provinces have no say whatsoever. So Liberal Justice Louis 251 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 2: Brandeis talked about the laboratories of democracy, the differences between states, 252 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 2: and so now hopefully this is a great teaching lesson 253 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 2: to a lot of your friends here in New Mexico. 254 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: The fact that you have not had a republican legislature 255 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 2: in ninety years. I think since you officially became a state, 256 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 2: that elections have consequences. That you pay all this in 257 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: property taxes, You pay all this in sales tax for 258 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 2: shuttered schools, declining education rates. Meanwhile, your neighboring states have 259 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 2: opened schools and open businesses. 260 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: And lower virus death rates. 261 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 2: And I would hope this is an awakening moment for 262 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: the people in New Mexico. I hope this is a 263 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: moment where we say we're not going to take this 264 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 2: any longer. And I want to actually, I want to 265 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: build on that point, which is people have said that 266 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 2: Steve and your church is in violation to the governor's orders. 267 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 2: In fact, one of the other pastors here, who runs 268 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 2: a cavalry chapel, he's a complete fool. I must say, 269 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 2: he really is. No, he's a total fool. And I 270 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: read what he wrote, and he has no wisdom because 271 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 2: he attacked your pastor for opening and he says, how 272 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: dare you violate the governor's orders? I say, hold on 273 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: a second. The governor is violating his freedom and your freedom. 274 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: You got it all wrong. 275 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: The idea that the sovereign is somehow the government is 276 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: so backwards. It really shows, and I'll get into this 277 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 2: in a second, that too many pastors in this country 278 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 2: have no idea why we were founded, our foundational ideas 279 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 2: how exceptional this country is, how it actually is a 280 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 2: gift from God, the greatest experiment in civil government in 281 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: world history. 282 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: So to believe something like. 283 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 2: That, you must believe that the governor is in charge 284 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: and you're the subject. What makes the American model different 285 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: is that the citizens are in charge and the government 286 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: works for us. 287 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: It's completely different. 288 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: Therefore, and this is why the Constitution is the greatest 289 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 2: political document ever written in the history of the world. 290 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 2: It says, it comes from the belief that you, naturally 291 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: made in God's image, have rights, a right to consciousness, 292 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,479 Speaker 2: right to movement, a right to speech or right to protection, 293 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 2: a right to buy and own property. And the biggest 294 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 2: concern the founding fathers had was not, first and foremost, 295 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 2: what you would do with that freedom. And the first concern 296 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 2: they had is what would happen if someone tried to 297 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 2: take your freedom away. So, therefore, the compact that we 298 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 2: have in this country, the partnership, if you. 299 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: Will, the way it was designed and. 300 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 2: A way a pastor should articulate it is they took 301 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: the teachings of the Bible, the revelations of the Enlightenment 302 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 2: articulated them in a document where the governor has absolutely 303 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 2: no right to come into a private religious assembly and 304 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 2: tell you what you have to do with your own assembly. 305 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 3: Hi, folks, Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to tell you 306 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 3: about my friends over at why Refine.

If everything in 326 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 2: life was about sacrificing liberty for safety, then we must 327 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 2: have a very different conversation of what we have in 328 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: our country. I wrote a sarcastic piece that actually, unfortunately 329 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 2: satire is quickly becoming reality doctor Seuss's band, No Men, 330 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 2: No Women, Men and women's sports at Jemima, Gone with 331 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 2: the Wind. No, it's like things that would have been 332 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 2: sarcasm five years ago. I cannot tell if I'm reading 333 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 2: the New York Times or the Youngions. Sometimes I mean 334 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: that it's true. And so something I wrote sarcastically that 335 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 2: I guarantee you will be pushed by somebody is if 336 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 2: we were serious about saving lives and liberty is not 337 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 2: a value we care about, let's get rid of driving seriously. 338 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 2: And though they will argue this because of the environment, 339 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 2: because of climate change, all these things, fifty thousand people 340 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 2: die on the road every single year, fifty thousand people. 341 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: But no rational or reasonable people that has actually benefited 342 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 2: from motorized transport the liberty of having such would argue 343 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 2: that the abolition of all transportation is something that a mature, 344 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 2: wise society would do. Instead, we'd say, well, let's figure 345 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 2: out a safer way to transport ourselves. Seat belts, airbags, 346 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 2: traffic lights, removing licenses from people that get multiple Accidentsy, 347 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 2: that's what a mature society does. Yet our handling of 348 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: the pandemic or what just happened here was the exact opposite. 349 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 2: It was as if at all costs we must embrace 350 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 2: a belief of safetyism, that freedom and liberty does not matter. 351 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 2: And this is a very difficult thing to tell you. 352 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 2: Liberty comes at a price. When you have liberty, here's 353 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 2: the promise. 354 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 1: People will abuse it. 355 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 2: There will be consequences, there will be things you might 356 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 2: not like. But however, we accept all of that because 357 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 2: the benefits far outweigh any of the costs. 358 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: The same with gun ownership. 359 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 2: We love the Second Amendment, right, We make this argument 360 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 2: all the time that private gun ownership, there will be 361 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,479 Speaker 2: people that abuse that technology, but the benefit of owning 362 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 2: it and having it far outweighs the potential cost. And 363 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 2: we have lost that altogether, which I find so amazing. 364 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 2: For all the people on the left that are constantly 365 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 2: arguing for drug legalization and all the other things, they say, oh, 366 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 2: we should be allowed to do whatever we want to do. 367 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: Whenever we want to do it. But you must wear 368 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 2: a mask when you're inside, like at some point the 369 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 2: Leviathan government implodes upon itself. Okay, I have to stay 370 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: on schedule. Over the last one hundred years, who has 371 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 2: been more successful American Christians or American Leftists? American leftists? 372 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: And it's not even close. The fastest growing religion in 373 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 2: America's Leftism. It's not even close. People say, really, yes, 374 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 2: do you see how many churches are embracing BLM incorporated? 375 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 2: You see how many Christian pastors are embracing this sort 376 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 2: of belief Over the last one hundred years, we are 377 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 2: now seeing the secularization of America. If you don't believe 378 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 2: in God, then right and wrong is merely an opinion. 379 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 2: This drives atheist nuts when I say it, so I 380 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 2: will repeat it for emphasis. If you do not believe 381 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 2: in God, right and wrong is merely an opinion, And 382 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 2: people say, well, I know what's right through life experience. 383 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: You see. 384 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 2: This is exactly This is a huge missed opportunity by 385 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 2: the American church. You ask most college kids. You go 386 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: to University of New Mexico and you ask someone there 387 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 2: and you say, do you believe people naturally are basically 388 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 2: good or basically bad. They will say people are basically good. 389 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 2: You must have gone to a college to believe something 390 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 2: as foolish as that it's true. You see, if you 391 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 2: grow up in a wealthy, generous, benevolent society as America, 392 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 2: where things generally work, it's easy to get desensitized to 393 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: the belief that people are just naturally generous to each other. 394 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: This is the exception. We know this. 395 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 2: The Bible tells us this clearly original sin, distance from God. 396 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 2: It's who we are naturally, and I can prove it 397 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 2: to you. 398 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: Do you have to teach goodness to a three year old? Yes? 399 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 2: Do you have to teach a three year old to lie, steel, cheat, 400 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 2: or manipulate to get what they want? No, it's built 401 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 2: into their DNA. They figured it out. We have all 402 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 2: schools and academies, repetition and discipline to teach goodness to 403 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 2: our children. Why because creating good people is hard and 404 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 2: most countries. 405 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: Have not been able to do that. 406 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 2: In the nineteen forties and fifties, we used to teach 407 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 2: young people you are the problem and America is awesome. 408 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 2: Now we teach young people you're awesome and America is 409 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: the problem where now young people, students are not told 410 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 2: you might have to improve your life. Instead go destroy 411 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: the country around you and that will create a better place. 412 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 2: No gratitude for what came before them. But the point 413 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 2: I really want to make here, which is the more 414 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 2: condensed point, and I asked about the religion of Leftism 415 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 2: and Christianity, and Christianity in America, this church aside has 416 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 2: grown weak, complacent, and quite honestly complicit with some of 417 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 2: the most sinister political movements that I could possibly put. 418 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: My finger on. The church. 419 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,239 Speaker 2: And this is a tough realization is far weaker than 420 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 2: I thought. 421 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 1: It really is. The Church founded this country. It's that simple. 422 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 2: People say this is this country is not founded on 423 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: video Christian principles. Anyone who said that has no understanding 424 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 2: whatsoever of Blackstone, of John Locke, of the writings of 425 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 2: Thomas Jefferson, the belief of the founders George Washington, regular 426 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 2: church attending, god fearing, Bible inspired courageous men and women, 427 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 2: Abigail Adams. But we should be unafraid to say men 428 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 2: without having to qualify it. So courageous men, I think 429 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 2: that's an okay thing to say, right and so this 430 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 2: is going to be a deciding moment for the church. 431 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 2: So Rick Warren, who played an impact on my life, 432 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 2: and some pastors don't like the fact I call it 433 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 2: these pastors by name tough Rick Warren who runs a church, 434 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 2: Saddleback Church, and he had a really big impact on 435 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 2: my life on finding Jesus in the gospel. But he 436 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 2: is failing the test currently, unbelievably. So Rick Warren comes out, 437 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: and this is so unbiblical it's hard to even unpack. 438 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 2: In the sixteen minutes I have remaining where Rick Warren 439 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 2: says God does not care how you vote. In fact, 440 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 2: he said there's no difference between each side. Now, I'm 441 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 2: not here just doing to say that Republicans are awesome 442 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: and Democrats are awful. 443 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it. 444 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 2: I'll get close to it, but I'm not gonna say 445 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 2: that specifically, right. 446 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: No, But the second part of it, the. 447 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 2: Point is God cares about everything you do. What does 448 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 2: God not care about what you do? God cares about 449 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 2: what you say, who you marry, how you act, what 450 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 2: you eat, where you travel, what work you participate in. 451 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: This kind of. 452 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 2: Idea that God somehow gives a permission slip a moral 453 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 2: pass to any one of your actions is completely antithetical 454 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 2: to the idea of an omniscient, omnipotent creator that cares 455 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 2: about everything you do. More importantly, voting is a reflection 456 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 2: of your values. Voting is you getting into the public 457 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 2: square and saying, this is what I believe, and I 458 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 2: want to at least have a singular moment where I 459 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 2: can reflect that. 460 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 3: Imagine being a young woman just finding out that you're pregnant, 461 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 3: not knowing where to go or what to do, not 462 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 3: even knowing exactly what is going on in your body, 463 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 3: while the whole world tells her it's just a clump 464 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 3: of cells. You and I we both know the truth. 465 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 3: We know it is a baby. And once she has 466 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 3: an ultrasound that you provide and she sees the truth 467 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 3: of the baby growing inside of her, you help her 468 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 3: choose life. When you join us in providing ultrasounds with 469 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 3: preborn and she sees her baby and here's her baby's heartbeat, 470 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 3: you will double the likelihood that she will choose life. 471 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 3: And one hundred percent of what you give goes to 472 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 3: providing ultrasounds one hundred percent Preborn separately fundraises for administrative 473 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 3: cost two hundred and eighty dollars can save ten babies, 474 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 3: twenty eight dollars a month can save a baby a month, 475 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 3: all year long. And a fifteen thousand dollars gift.

So some pastors like Rick Warren will come out, 487 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 2: or Andy Stanley from Georgia, they'll come out and they'll say, well, 488 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,439 Speaker 2: Christian should not be involved in politics. Who's heard this before? 489 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 2: This is the enemy whispering in your ear. It's unbiblical. 490 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 2: Daniel Mordecai, Esther, Jeremiah, Neemiah, Joseph. What are we supposed 491 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 2: to do with God's people influencing secular government for his purpose. 492 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 2: What are we supposed to do about that?

And Daniel, Daniel 495 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 2: was a counselor to the king. That is the role 496 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 2: of Christians counselor to the king. Remember that, we're always 497 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 2: supposed to say, there's a sovereign government. We are the sovereign. 498 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 2: We have given our permission to this government. We should 499 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 2: be influencing that government for God's purpose. We should be 500 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 2: running for office, we should be voting, We should be 501 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 2: running candidates, we should be participating, watching broadcasts. We should 502 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 2: always be influencing secular government for God's purpose. 503 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: So how did your pastor pass his Daniel moment? 504 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 2: Well, in Daniel, I think it's Daniel six the king 505 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 2: who he was a counselor to multiple kings. I think 506 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 2: it was Nebachenezer said, basically, you're not allowed to follow 507 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 2: the traditional Jewish law. 508 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: You can't pray. 509 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 2: So you know what Daniel did, went home and opened 510 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 2: up his window to the city and say, watch me, 511 00:29:50,200 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 2: that's your pastor passing the Daniel moments. So this is 512 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 2: the moment. It's this simple, and I'll get to it 513 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 2: and my final one. But the church built this country. 514 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 2: The left, the secularists, the nihilists, the people that believe 515 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 2: there's no difference between men and women, the people that 516 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 2: want your borders open, the people that want to keep 517 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 2: you shut down. You know what they fear more than 518 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 2: anything else is an active church. They fear it. This 519 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 2: is why they try to, like snakes, come into the 520 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 2: church and say, don't get involved in politics. There's no 521 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 2: difference between the two parties. Abortions not that important, you 522 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 2: don't have to do that. And they just say, calm 523 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 2: down your involvement. And you know what, some pastors says, 524 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 2: I only. 525 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: Care about the Gospel. So do I. 526 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 2: That's why I care about politics. For example, the gospel? 527 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 2: What does it mean good news? If all of a 528 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 2: sudden the church is deemed non essential, how exactly are 529 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 2: we supposed to spread the good news? And they always 530 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 2: come for the church. Now understand, they first come for 531 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 2: the churches they don't like. You see the Calvary chapel 532 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 2: down the street with the pastors who name I forget, 533 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 2: who writes bad things about your pastor. 534 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: Who attacks your pastor, they won't touch him. 535 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 2: It's hilarious. They actually find him for doing the candlelight thing. 536 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 2: But they'll touch you first. They want the disagreeable church 537 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 2: to be silenced. Here's why is they know the only 538 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 2: thing between them and their power grab is people that 539 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 2: spend thirty minutes worshiping something that isn't government. You just 540 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 2: spent thirty minutes admitting. Whether you realize that or not, 541 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 2: if you participated in that worship, is you governor don't 542 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 2: matter as much as my lord. Therefore I take my 543 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 2: orders from them and not from the governor. 544 00:31:50,040 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 4: True, thank you. 545 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 2: So this is a great opportunity for the church. I'm 546 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 2: gonna blitz through the last two. Number four. 547 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: It's a little bit of. 548 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 2: A depressing, more philosophical one. I'm going to build this 549 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 2: out in the next services. So if you guys want 550 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 2: to come, we're doing three of these tomorrow. 551 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: Right. 552 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do this one really quick, which is people 553 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 2: don't want to be free. 554 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: It's a tough one. 555 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 2: I could prove it to you biblically ready, Moses, who 556 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 2: God used for his purpose, the minister of the law 557 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 2: liberates God's chosen people. This is zero lights. They were 558 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 2: working as slaves, They were literally slaves. You want to 559 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 2: talk about slavery, the liberation of slaves. They're in the wilderness. 560 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: What do they do? 561 00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 2: Like two chapters later, they start complaining and they say, 562 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 2: take us back to Egypt because at least we had meat. 563 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: I could you not? 564 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 2: They said, we prefer comfortable slavery over dangerous freedom. 565 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: It's right there. Freedom is hard, really is? 566 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 2: Freedom and responsibility are directly tied together. What a lot 567 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 2: of students say that I care about freedom is like, 568 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,959 Speaker 2: maybe you do. But if your perception of freedom is 569 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 2: just putting whatever substance you want into your body, what 570 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 2: making any moral decision you want, and somehow that is 571 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 2: going to bring you to a place of peace, You're 572 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 2: going to be a slave to that entire process. What 573 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 2: makes Christ so different, even just from and obviously I 574 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 2: believe Jesus is the son of God and an equal 575 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 2: part of the Trinity, but just from a purely philosophical point, 576 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 2: is that everything Christ stood for was about liberating you 577 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 2: from your past choices. It's unbelievable when you think about it. 578 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 2: There's nothing else like that. It's always about like self improvement, 579 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 2: all that stuff is great. Proverbs can be applied to 580 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 2: most of it. But what really you want to torture somebody? 581 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 2: You know what the purest form of torture is dwelling 582 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 2: on a past mistake that you have made and never 583 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 2: getting redemption. Think about that. There's nothing worse. Jesus says, 584 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 2: I will liberate you from that decision. I will liberate 585 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,919 Speaker 2: you from that. I will set you free from the sin. 586 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 2: But however, that word free is a difficult word for 587 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 2: some people. So we as Christians understand freedom in a 588 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 2: different level. Right, most of the rest of the world 589 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 2: isn't ready for that. Therefore, they would rather be taken 590 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 2: care of, and so we have to understand. 591 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 1: That. 592 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 2: In order to communicate what we believe in, we must 593 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,919 Speaker 2: say that free freedom is a value. Dennis Prager talks 594 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 2: about this is a provocative thing. Freedom is not natural. 595 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 2: Left to their own devices, people will be terrorized or terrorists. 596 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 2: They'll be slaves and there will be masters. They will 597 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 2: be oppressors and oppressed. It's Western civilization that changed all 598 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 2: of it. So freedom must be taught. You have to 599 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 2: tell a three year old that you must demand freedom, 600 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 2: but you also you must make good choices or else 601 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 2: you're going to be a slave to your decisions. 602 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 3: Hi, folks, Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to tell you 603 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 3: about my friends over at why Refy.

If you or 606 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 3: someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt, 607 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 3: take my advice and give them a call. Maybe you're 608 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 3: behind on your payments, maybe you're even in default.

Why Refy 610 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 3: will provide you a custom payment based on your ability 611 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 3: to pay. They tailor each loan individually.

Just go to wyrefi dot com. 617 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 3: That's the letter why then refi dot com. And remember, 618 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 3: y Refi doesn't care what your credit score is. Just 619 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,919 Speaker 3: go to yrefi dot com and tell them your friend 620 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 3: Andrews sent you. 621 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 2: You know what else is a value children. This is 622 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 2: a very We don't talk about this enough. Having children 623 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 2: is a value. Do you know that we're on pace 624 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 2: to have five hundred thousand less children this year than 625 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 2: last year. Every expert was wrong, go figure, so they 626 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 2: figured this. They said, a lot of people at home, 627 00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,000 Speaker 2: not a lot to do. We're gonna see a baby 628 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 2: boom opposite. Why because children's not a value? Why would 629 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 2: I have children if I don't believe in the need 630 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 2: to replicate my values? Why have children? All participate in 631 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 2: the act of having children. But we have the technology 632 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 2: to allow me, technology to allow me not to have children, 633 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 2: so I'll choose not to. So we are on the 634 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 2: verge of a population collapse. Why because we have not 635 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 2: properly communicated the need to have children. Thankfully, we as 636 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 2: Christians have a pretty easy answer to that. It's biblical 637 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,359 Speaker 2: to have children and to multiply. But for the rest 638 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 2: of the world, they'll say, why do I need to 639 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 2: recreate myself? This world is so broken, it's terrible. If 640 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 2: I believed what the left believed, which is this is 641 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 2: the worst country ever, We're going to die of global warming. 642 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,439 Speaker 2: Everything's racist. Why would I have children? I mean, that's 643 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 2: what a terrible place to have kids. Why would you 644 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 2: want to bring another life into this broken world? We say, 645 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 2: you know what, no commanded to do it. You must 646 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 2: replicate your values, You must pass down your ideas, and 647 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 2: we will be fruitful and multiply. You see, everything is 648 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 2: a value. We take so much for granted. And you're 649 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 2: going to see twenty years from now, all of a sudden, 650 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 2: they're gonna be like the Earth's population is decreasing, not increasing. 651 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 2: Remember they said, oh it's gonna be a population boom. 652 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 1: No, no no. 653 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 2: If you do not have a reason to multiply, people 654 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 2: will not same with same with freedom. Okay, last point 655 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 2: is this, This is the biggest point for the Church, 656 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 2: for America, for all of us. 657 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: This is either the beginning or it's the end. It's 658 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:36,800 Speaker 1: really that simple. 659 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 2: So almost every institution that came before us has been 660 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 2: completely delegitimized in the eyes of America. I don't trust 661 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,280 Speaker 2: any news service basically anymore. I don't trust the tech companies. 662 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,760 Speaker 2: I don't trust the colleges. I don't trust the teachers 663 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 2: that teach our kids. There's some great teachers out there, 664 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 2: but generally I don't trust the curriculum A lot of 665 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 2: the churches have gone astray. 666 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: Okay, what does that mean? 667 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 2: What's the biblical thing to do in a time like 668 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 2: this when God scatters, when all of a sudden there's 669 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,800 Speaker 2: chaos and confusion, do we hide and retreat? 670 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:14,959 Speaker 1: And we kind of wait? 671 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 2: And so some people have a firm belief eschatologically that 672 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 2: Jesus is coming next Thursday. 673 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: You might be right, that is not an excuse for inaction. 674 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 2: Some people, and I'm going to be this as loving 675 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,399 Speaker 2: as I can, they use eschatology as an excuse not 676 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 2: to contest in the public square. And there's a lot 677 00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 2: of robust debate in there. I don't get into any 678 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 2: of it, to be honest, Here's what I do know. 679 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 2: People say, the house is on fire, we got to 680 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 2: get the kids out, protect our own little circle. How 681 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,839 Speaker 2: about you put out the fire. How about you put 682 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,799 Speaker 2: out the fire and you build new And that's what 683 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,240 Speaker 2: we must do in this moment. So, in this moment, 684 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,680 Speaker 2: we are at a time where people are going to 685 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 2: be looking for truth more than ever. This will either 686 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 2: be the moment where the church where Christians or even 687 00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,240 Speaker 2: people that have never come to a church before, people 688 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 2: that love freedom or a country will be courageous and bold, 689 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 2: or will be fearful and cowardly. So what does that 690 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 2: look like? People say, well, then what do I do? 691 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 2: What's the action step? Because I don't like just getting speeches? 692 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 2: And then people like, well, why that was nice, But 693 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 2: what exactly do I do? Here's the action step. We 694 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 2: got to start taking terrain. You got to run for 695 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 2: school board, you got to run for mayor's races. You 696 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 2: got to start taking terrain. Number two, you have to 697 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 2: take the education of your children unbelievably seriously. If you 698 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 2: can homeschool, if you're retired, help a homeschooling parent, If 699 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 2: there's a private school that's doing a good job, like 700 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 2: your academy, then maybe volunteer, do whatever you can to 701 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 2: help the education. Education comes from the Latin word to 702 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 2: lead forth? Are we leading forth? 703 00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:58,839 Speaker 1: Well? Right now? 704 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 2: No, what happens on college campuses will soon happen in 705 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 2: the halls of Congress and in corporate boardrooms. And so 706 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 2: if we do not reverse the educational decay in our country, then. 707 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:10,479 Speaker 1: Nothing will get solved. 708 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 2: But here's the other thing that I think is so 709 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 2: exciting is and it's the Genesis eleven principle. And you 710 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,879 Speaker 2: guys would understand this better than anyone else. They are 711 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 2: pushing the boundaries of what God has allowed human beings 712 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,839 Speaker 2: to do on this planet. God will scatter them like 713 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 2: he did the Tower of Babel. 714 00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: He will. The question is will we. 715 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,399 Speaker 2: Be hiding in our caves and our catacombs, or will 716 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:41,320 Speaker 2: we be contesting and occupying, building new companies, starting new endeavors, 717 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 2: getting married and having families and having children, and yes, 718 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,280 Speaker 2: being unafraid of whatever the local tyrant might say, because 719 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 2: you're hosting a religious service, and here's what's going. Here's 720 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 2: the amazing thing is that when you step into that 721 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 2: public square, the ecclasea. The ecclaca is a biblical word 722 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 2: where if I said, Jesus said to his disciples, on 723 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 2: this rock, build my and we say church right, the 724 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 2: word is ecclaca. What is an ecclaca? And ecclaca was 725 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:15,280 Speaker 2: a Greek word for a political gathering where they unified 726 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 2: around two other Greek words Eleutheria is sonomia, freedom, inequality. 727 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 2: So Jesus used the word on this rock, build my 728 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,919 Speaker 2: public square, engagement center, on this rock, build my go 729 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:33,399 Speaker 2: forth in every sector. This idea of compartmentalized Christianity has 730 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 2: got to stop. 731 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: We should have comprehensive. 732 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 2: Christianity where we're saying, you know what, I don't like 733 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 2: the music my kids listening to, I'm gonna go support 734 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 2: a Christian artist, or I'm gonna do it myself. I 735 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 2: don't like the education of my kids. I'm gonna step 736 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 2: up and do it myself. Where we're not going to 737 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 2: just be spectators, but we're gonna be participants in the 738 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 2: culture of what's happening right now. 739 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 1: And so. 740 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 2: This is a great moment, it really is. I know 741 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,399 Speaker 2: a lot of people are down. I know a lot 742 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 2: of people are feeling depressed, but we are on the 743 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 2: precipice of what can be not just a great awakening 744 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 2: in this country, but a revival the likes of which 745 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 2: we've never seen before. 746 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:12,760 Speaker 1: But it's only going to happen. 747 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 2: It's only going to happen if we step into that 748 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 2: public square. And so for those of you that are 749 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,800 Speaker 2: here and you just came for a political speech, you 750 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 2: got some of that too, But I encourage you this. 751 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 2: And maybe you're you haven't been to church in a while, 752 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 2: maybe you don't go to a church, maybe you don't. 753 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 1: Believe in God. 754 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,880 Speaker 2: I could tell you that the most fulfilling thing that 755 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 2: a human being can do is to come in a relationship. 756 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 1: With your creator. 757 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 2: After that, everything starts to make more sense. 758 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:46,520 Speaker 1: And so. 759 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 2: The Bible is the greatest book ever written in history 760 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:52,320 Speaker 2: of the world. 761 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 1: It is the Word of God. 762 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 2: Read Proverbs, read John if you have never opened up 763 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 2: the Bible before, but be courageous this time for us. 764 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,720 Speaker 2: And so if I could just give one shameless plug, 765 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 2: if that's okay, some of you guys listen to our podcast, 766 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 2: and some of you guys, thank you for that.
