Speaker 1: Money, money, money smell that fresh money news is being served.
Speaker 1: This is the Boomburn money minute on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: Alrighty, we say good morning to Dan Schwartzman, of course,
Speaker 2: a pride of Ohio University and appens Ohio.
Speaker 3: How are you, young man? Hopoll's well with you this morning?
Speaker 4: Ah, fantastic, It's great getting up at two forty five
Speaker 4: in the morning.
Speaker 2: There is no question, a feeling like no other. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: two budget airlines could be merging soon.
Speaker 4: That's right, Tom sources telling Bloomberg that Spirit Airlines is
Speaker 4: holding talks with rival Frontier about a possible airline merger.
Speaker 4: A transaction could be announced as soon as this month,
Speaker 4: although discussions could end up without a deal. A merger
Speaker 4: with Frontier would mark a significant step for Spirit, which
Speaker 4: is bankrupt for the second time in a year. It
Speaker 4: comes as ultra low cost carriers are struggling with rising
Speaker 4: costs and fierce competition from larger airlines, and it.
Speaker 2: Looks like Ford will continue its move away from EV's.
Speaker 4: Ford that's right canceling a six and a half billion
Speaker 4: dollar agreement to purchase batteries from LG after the automaker
Speaker 4: roll back its electric vehicle ambitions. The move comes after
Speaker 4: Ford announced it would take close to twenty billion dollars
Speaker 4: in charges tied to a major overhaul of its EV business,
Speaker 4: while also saying you would end plans to make an
Speaker 4: electric F series truck after struggling for years to make
Speaker 4: it profitable. So for it's saying, let's take a step
Speaker 4: back from this EV stuff right now, all right, Danny
Speaker 4: in the futures this morning, still in the green down,
Speaker 4: not really moving much. It's still up two tenths of
Speaker 4: one percent, SMP's up about a third to one percent,
Speaker 4: and Nasseak currently is up four tens a one percent
Speaker 4: from Bloomberg. Dan Schwartzman on news Radio seven hundred.
Speaker 2: WLW already eight oh nine on the morning show seven
Speaker 2: hundred WLW for those if you weren't with us earlier.
Speaker 2: I was out doing a little Christmas shopping over the
Speaker 2: weekend and just happened to run into our guest who
Speaker 2: is a native Buckeye, if you will, Karen Laverty. She
Speaker 2: worked in the financial world for a many, many many years,
Speaker 2: and she chose to start a financial blog dedicated to women,
Speaker 2: which led to writing two financial books for women, and
Speaker 2: one is called a woman's place is in the market.
Speaker 2: The other called the Little Black Dress of finance, and
Speaker 2: Karen Laberty joins us. Now, Karen, good morning, How in
Speaker 2: the world what made you decide you wanted to write
Speaker 2: books specifically dedicated to women about investments and money.
Speaker 5: Good morning, Tom.
Speaker 6: How are you doing?
Speaker 3: I'm doing great? How you doing?
Speaker 5: I do really good? So thanks for having me on.
Speaker 5: As far as why did I write the books? I actually,
Speaker 5: you know, once again, just like you said, I worked
Speaker 5: for Fidelity for over thirteen years. Then I did a
Speaker 5: financial blog to help women and so forth. It led
Speaker 5: me to writing two books. So why write the books
Speaker 5: and things? I actually they approached it from two different angles.
Speaker 5: First of all, we had a daughter at the time
Speaker 5: that was graduating college, you know, and you know, herself
Speaker 5: and her friends and so forth. They're all graduating, getting
Speaker 5: jobs and things, and I wasn't really sure. You know,
Speaker 5: do they know what a four one K is? Do
Speaker 5: they know what a general broker's account is? Do they
Speaker 5: know how to get started in life with their finances?
Speaker 5: Getting started, having some knowledge, getting off on the right
Speaker 5: track and so forth is incredibly important. Then on the
Speaker 5: other end of the spectrum, my mother in law and
Speaker 5: missus celebrity. She was one of the nicest people you'd
Speaker 5: ever meet. I say it all the time that if
Speaker 5: she's not in heaven, I don't stand a chance. But
Speaker 5: it's so true though. She was an incredibly nice person.
Speaker 5: But her husband did all their finances well. He passed
Speaker 5: away first. So, you know, being her daughter in law
Speaker 5: and in the business and so forth, I offer to help.
Speaker 5: It's like being a detective, you know, and it really
Speaker 5: made me feel protective of her. That left her very vulnerable.
Speaker 5: She didn't know where the money was. She didn't know
Speaker 5: how she was getting her income, didn't know what it
Speaker 5: was invested in, you know, didn't know the rambifications if
Speaker 5: you took it out of one account versus another one.
Speaker 5: So both ends of the spectrum, my daughter's just getting
Speaker 5: out of school, her and her friends, you know, getting
Speaker 5: started in life. And then on the other end, my
Speaker 5: mother in law.
Speaker 2: You know, I found it, though, in our conversation, very interesting.
Speaker 2: And this is basically in a nutshell, but you found
Speaker 2: yourself oftentimes, you know, you might go to a Christmas party,
Speaker 2: you might go to a Fourth of July party and
Speaker 2: the guys are standing around and they're talking about stocks,
Speaker 2: all the terminology, money, investments, et cetera, et cetera, and
Speaker 2: you notice that a lot of women are just kind
Speaker 2: of off to the sidelines.
Speaker 3: Is that accurate, Oh, without a doubt.
Speaker 5: It's the same with you know, I worked at FIDELDI
Speaker 5: and a number of different capacities. Started out as a trader,
Speaker 5: you know, and at the time the internet, you couldn't
Speaker 5: trade on the internet, so everybody was calling in and yeah,
Speaker 5: it's all the guys calling in. And it was right
Speaker 5: before the dot com bubble burst, so they're all trading
Speaker 5: this and that and so forth. And the women seem
Speaker 5: very intimidated.
Speaker 7: It.
Speaker 5: Even when I met with couples in my office and things,
Speaker 5: the women were never involved. They just that I know,
Speaker 5: there's a lot of acronyms in this, there's a lot
Speaker 5: of you know, is it an EFT or an ATF.
Speaker 5: You know, there's a lot of terminology that can seem
Speaker 5: very intimidating. You know, they just don't want they're afraid
Speaker 5: of things. But really, women actually are very good investors.
Speaker 5: They're a little bit more on the costas side, So
Speaker 5: I would encourage them to take a little bit more
Speaker 5: risk than they're comfortable with. But I want to make
Speaker 5: sure that women are empowered and they need to know this.
Speaker 5: You don't have to be an expert. You don't have
Speaker 5: to be you know, writing uncover book contracts or day trading,
Speaker 5: but you do need to know a general general knowledge
Speaker 5: of investing, different account types, investing types. It's very important.
Speaker 2: You know, what's interesting is and I had a conversation
Speaker 2: with a business owner about this, a business owner that
Speaker 2: has to do with people who have a decent amount
Speaker 2: of money, and you know, with sharing with me that
Speaker 2: in reality, and you've forgotten more about this stuff than
Speaker 2: I'll ever know. But in reality, in most households, not all,
Speaker 2: but in most households, the women are the ones that
Speaker 2: are either a in charge of the family finances, whether
Speaker 2: it's paying bills, et cetera, or they're the ones that
Speaker 2: are making big decisions on how to spend the money.
Speaker 2: So it would only make sense that women would get
Speaker 2: more involved in what we're doing with some of these
Speaker 2: money and what we're going to need down the road.
Speaker 5: Without a doubt. I mean a lot of times women
Speaker 5: are very transactional with it. They're the ones paying the bills,
Speaker 5: they have to check book and things and then but
Speaker 5: they kind of delegate the investing part of it, you know,
Speaker 5: whether they have somebody manage their money, or their husband
Speaker 5: does it, their dad does it, their brother does it,
Speaker 5: and so forth. But it ain't a different world. Women
Speaker 5: make more money, yep, you know, they're out in the workforce.
Speaker 5: It's a different world, and it's very important for them
Speaker 5: to have a knowledge of this. Once again, it's okay
Speaker 5: to have somebody else manage your money, but you have
Speaker 5: to know what you own. You have to know what
Speaker 5: account types you need to know, you know, take the
Speaker 5: money out of this? Is there a tax contract? Are
Speaker 5: there rules on the account? What account benefits me the best?
Speaker 5: You know, these are very important things to know.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: What I find interesting is and I wish that you
Speaker 2: would have written this book, these books when my mom.
Speaker 2: I grew up in a single parent household, my mom
Speaker 2: working two jobs. She didn't know anything about this stuff.
Speaker 2: But like you said, I mean even the most basic things.
Speaker 2: And I'm assuming that in the book you cover basically
Speaker 2: two or three of the most important things that a
Speaker 2: woman without a ton of education can simply learn what
Speaker 2: to do and how.
Speaker 7: To do it.
Speaker 5: Oh, definitely, And you know, what I come from kind
Speaker 5: of the same world that I come from a family
Speaker 5: full of men. My dad had five boys. There's five
Speaker 5: boys in his family and one girl. And all the
Speaker 5: boys are the one all the men are the ones.
Speaker 5: They all handle the money. None of my aunts knew
Speaker 5: anything about me, which once again, it leaves them very vulnerable.
Speaker 5: You know, their husbands, if their fast has passed away,
Speaker 5: they don't know anything. Why is that a good thing?
Speaker 5: Why is that's not a good plan? You know? For
Speaker 5: all the men that think that you know, I'm helping
Speaker 5: my family, I'm doing the planning, I'm doing the investing.
Speaker 5: You need to involve your spouse in this as well,
Speaker 5: and women, you need to get engaged in it without
Speaker 5: a doubt.
Speaker 2: And your books can be found on Amazon. The Little
Speaker 2: Black Dress of Finance and A Woman's Place is in
Speaker 2: the market. Both of those you can find on Amazon.
Speaker 2: And tell me about Karen Laverty And by the way,
Speaker 2: Karen is spelled with a C C A r E
Speaker 2: N Laverty l A V E r t y dot com.
Speaker 2: What would one expect to find at Karen Laverty dot com?
Speaker 8: You know what?
Speaker 5: I tried to make this well? At my blog you
Speaker 5: can read little sections of the book and so forth,
Speaker 5: and you can also purchase my book on my website.
Speaker 5: But the thing that I try to do is make
Speaker 5: this very approachable for women. And you will find the
Speaker 5: books are not long, very easy to read. There's like
Speaker 5: eighty pages, and you will find that I have a
Speaker 5: shoe fetish. I try and use shoes as example a
Speaker 5: lot of times in the books. I try to make
Speaker 5: this as easy as I possibly could. You know, for women,
Speaker 5: it's very approachable.
Speaker 2: Well, you're speaking their language, right, I mean, men and
Speaker 2: women speak the same language in some ways, but you're
Speaker 2: speaking their language specifically, which is a huge, huge plus.
Speaker 5: Definitely. I mean my daughter actually helped me write some
Speaker 5: of the passages as well as my son. And you know,
Speaker 5: my son is now a wealth advisor at marri Lynch.
Speaker 5: But it was fun to go through some of it,
Speaker 5: especially when I use shoes as an example with my daughter,
Speaker 5: you know, I go true. Yeah, some examples like dividing
Speaker 5: your expenses between essential expenses and discretionary expenses, and you know,
Speaker 5: Valentino Rockstead shoes made the essential expenses in her mind exactly.
Speaker 2: Well, Karen, I can't thank you enough for your time.
Speaker 2: It was a pleasure to meet you the other day.
Speaker 2: A Merry Christmas to you and your family, and I
Speaker 2: hope you have a great holiday season.
Speaker 5: Well likewise, and thank you so much for having me on.

Speaker 4: news now, though isn't as rosie as a number two
Speaker 4: home builder, Lenar is forecasting fewer homes sold this quarter
Speaker 4: than the market was expecting. The company points to affordability

Speaker 2: in Newtown along the banks of the Little Miami River.
Speaker 3: Pastor Chad, good morning to you, sir. I hope you're well.
Speaker 7: Good marn Tom, I'm doing great.
Speaker 3: How about so doing great?
Speaker 2: No complaints? You know Christmas and you and I have
Speaker 2: talked about this. We talked about it right before Thanksgiving
Speaker 2: on how holidays can can be very very.
Speaker 3: Stressful to people.
Speaker 2: But yes, you suggest that actually Christmas time can help
Speaker 2: us deal with stress, Well.
Speaker 7: Definitely can.
Speaker 8: And even if you have a cursory knowledge of Christmas
Speaker 8: and the story of you know what God did at Christmas.
Speaker 8: It's a story that God came and adapted himself to us.
Speaker 7: So think about God as a multi.
Speaker 8: Dimensional being beyond time and space, and he was willing
Speaker 8: to come in the form of a child, and just
Speaker 8: think if that's true. Right, I believe it's true, But
Speaker 8: if someone doesn't, if it was true that the God
Speaker 8: who made all the universe and holds all the planets
Speaker 8: and all the atoms, adapted to you in such a
Speaker 8: dramatic way, then you might say, wow. I mean, if
Speaker 8: God did that for me, then maybe I could adapt
Speaker 8: slightly to my crazy uncle or my cousin or my
Speaker 8: relative is driving me crazy. So it's kind of a
Speaker 8: call to adapt, which is, if God adapted to me,
Speaker 8: maybe I can adapt to others. It's also call for reconciliation,
Speaker 8: where you think about what family doesn't need a little
Speaker 8: bit more reconciliation. Somebody not to hold some bitterness, somebody
Speaker 8: to maybe get over something significantly happened, but it's time
Speaker 8: to move on. Well, the whole story of Christmas is
Speaker 8: the story of reconciliation. God wanted to reconcile with us. Honestly,
Speaker 8: we weren't taking the first step, so He took the
Speaker 8: first step. I had that I haven't talked to my
Speaker 8: sister in law for fifteen years after a big conflict
Speaker 8: that happened. I'd reconciled with my brother, as we mentioned,
Speaker 8: four or five months ago, but not my sister in
Speaker 8: law and my wife and I decided, you know what,
Speaker 8: this is the year we're going to do it, and honestly,
Speaker 8: because it's the right thing to do, not quite the
Speaker 8: motivation we needed. It'll be good for you. Maybe what
Speaker 8: really motivated us to hit FaceTime video and have that
Speaker 8: conversation was, you know what, God adapted and God reconciled
Speaker 8: with us when we did a whole lot worse to him.
Speaker 7: Let's do it.
Speaker 8: And so after about an hour conversation, for the first
Speaker 8: time in fifteen years, you know, we've now got a
Speaker 8: full path for families to get together again for Christmas.
Speaker 7: And it was tough.
Speaker 8: It was a tough conversation, and yet we felt like
Speaker 8: the spirit of Christmas is I want to do unto
Speaker 8: others what God did to me.
Speaker 2: I want to tackle a couple of well known actors
Speaker 2: that you've talked about recently in some of your sermons
Speaker 2: here and around Christmas. Let's start with Jimmy Stewart and
Speaker 2: his father who sent him Psalm ninety one when he
Speaker 2: went off to war. And then Jimmy Stewart talking about
Speaker 2: why he got so cheerful during the filming of Its
Speaker 2: Wonderful Life.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know Jimmy Stewart.
Speaker 8: We know him often from Its Wonderful Life and of
Speaker 8: those other wonderful movies. He was a brigadier general as
Speaker 8: well and disembombing in World War Two, and he had
Speaker 8: a lot of PTSD, so that you know shows up
Speaker 8: in some of the movies. But when he went off
Speaker 8: to war, his father was a real strong Christian believer
Speaker 8: in God in the Bible, and so he sent a
Speaker 8: little personal note that said, Hey, in the middle of
Speaker 8: this madness, I want you to know you can trust
Speaker 8: God to be your tower, your refuge, and the one
Speaker 8: that will guide you in the midst of this. He
Speaker 8: saved the sem a copy of Psalm ninety one as
Speaker 8: kind of the source of strength you would have in
Speaker 8: the middle of the madness of war. But after his
Speaker 8: filming of its Wonderful Life is that moment he gets
Speaker 8: real cheerful. He's crying out God and I need your help.
Speaker 8: If you're really up there, I just need you to
Speaker 8: step in. And he later Jimmy Stewart said he just
Speaker 8: felt in that moment the hearts of so many who
Speaker 8: feel like in life, let alone Christmas time, that they're
Speaker 8: having one to turn to, the real sense of emptiness
Speaker 8: and real sense of what's meaning, what's purpose, and that
Speaker 8: in that moment he felt like he was channeling those
Speaker 8: who didn't have access to that purpose and really felt
Speaker 8: that and he realized that's really the call of Christmas,
Speaker 8: is that we all are calling out for God to
Speaker 8: be with us. And even one of Jesus' nicknames is Immanuel,
Speaker 8: which means God with us. If you're going through grieving
Speaker 8: this Christmas and you need some comfort, God with us,
Speaker 8: He'll be your comfort. If you're looking for someone who
Speaker 8: can take the manure of life, and life certainly throws
Speaker 8: a plenty of manure at us and turn into fertilizer
Speaker 8: for new growth.
Speaker 7: And that's a story of Christmas.
Speaker 8: And he's even born into a cave or an animal's stall.
Speaker 7: With the newer everywhere.
Speaker 8: And look at the incredible story of purpose and meaning
Speaker 8: that he brings out of the manure that he's born into.
Speaker 2: You know, recently, Kevin Koshner, he just released a documentary
Speaker 2: on Christmas where he talks about his faith and you
Speaker 2: can find this on Disney Plus, but basically talk about
Speaker 2: how he walked through the entire Christmas story from start
Speaker 2: to finish.
Speaker 7: Yeah, really interesting.
Speaker 8: He begins, it's a documentary and the Nancy's talking.
Speaker 7: There's some scenes that things are acted out and in
Speaker 7: general is really good. One.
Speaker 8: He begins by talking about his first acting debut. Let's
Speaker 8: playing an angel or playing with a wiseman in a
Speaker 8: Nativity scene. In one big line, hark, and he missed
Speaker 8: it because his turbine kept falling over his head. He
Speaker 8: said his love of acting began there. And he kept
Speaker 8: just periodically through the play saying hark again again, because
Speaker 8: you know, I missed the big moment.
Speaker 7: But he kind of walks through that.
Speaker 8: Many people have thought that Christmas is a.
Speaker 7: Is a miss or is a nice.
Speaker 8: Story, like a long time ago in a galaxy far
Speaker 8: far away. He kind of roots it in the history
Speaker 8: and shows this really happened. It happened in the facts.
Speaker 8: He shows you kind of what was going on during
Speaker 8: that time period. One of the things he highlights is
Speaker 8: King Herod, and King Herod is like a footnote in
Speaker 8: the Christmas story, and yet King Herod is probably one
Speaker 8: of the most powerful men who've ever lived. They did
Speaker 8: a great job of describing this historic figure. If you've
Speaker 8: ever been to Israel or heard of Israel, you know
Speaker 8: the Jewish Temple is built on this giant mount that
Speaker 8: was built by King Herod, the guy trying to.
Speaker 7: Kill Jesus Masada.
Speaker 8: Have you ever heard of or seen pictures of Masada
Speaker 8: massive rocket by the dead sea. The guy built eleven
Speaker 8: swimming pools and a fully functional sauna in the middle of.
Speaker 7: A desert at six pc.
Speaker 8: Guy was an unbelievable engineer. He ran this spice factory.
Speaker 8: I've been to this Herod's spice factory and actually the
Speaker 8: wise men would have gone right past that spice factory
Speaker 8: as part of the trade route up. He also built
Speaker 8: this massive place called Ceser and maritime. Bottom line is
Speaker 8: they did a great job of describing him and showing
Speaker 8: the evidence of Herod as a historic figure, that Jesus
Speaker 8: was born to the days of that was the most
Speaker 8: powerful man in the world, probably next to the Caesar
Speaker 8: at the time, probably one of those wealthy people who
Speaker 8: ever lived. And he's the one trying to kill Jesus.
Speaker 8: And then they kind of get into his mania and
Speaker 8: all historians show what a maniac he is.
Speaker 7: So scared somebody's going to take his.
Speaker 8: Kingdom from him, he killed off his son. They got
Speaker 8: a scene in the documentary where it shows him killing
Speaker 8: off his son in in the hot tub together, which
Speaker 8: he killed many of his sons and many of his wives.
Speaker 8: And what of his wives throws herself off I think
Speaker 8: it's Masada and kills herself rather than stay with her husband.
Speaker 7: That's also an active there.
Speaker 8: They want you to see this guy who's going after
Speaker 8: Jesus was tyrannical and was suspicious and paranoid. So when
Speaker 8: those wives men show up and say, hey, good news,
Speaker 8: there's a new king.
Speaker 9: In town, this is like the worst guy could ever
Speaker 9: say that too, And they also show that, you think
Speaker 9: in the Christmas story we kind of have all this
Speaker 9: nostalgia around it, but there's a lot of tragedy.
Speaker 8: I mean, he then kills off all the boys in
Speaker 8: Bethlehem trying to get after Jesus.
Speaker 7: So I thought they did a mess.
Speaker 8: This incredible job of showing that God was born into
Speaker 8: this world with pain and suffering and difficulty, he's on
Speaker 8: the run from Herod and in the middle that God
Speaker 8: enters into our pain and shows that he's willing to
Speaker 8: not watch.
Speaker 7: From a distance.
Speaker 8: But as John Osborne used to say in her song,
Speaker 8: you know what, if God was one of us, he
Speaker 8: became the story. And so then you get to see
Speaker 8: Mary and Joseph kind of what was like in their
Speaker 8: lives during those days. It gives you a little cultural
Speaker 8: feel for what it was like for their patrol the period.
Speaker 8: How devastated Joseph was when he heard the news and
Speaker 8: the angel piers him. The really great historic and inspirational
Speaker 8: pieces to it, and quite frankly, toward the end, Kevin
Speaker 8: Costler says, many people believe that he died rose from
Speaker 8: the dead to I'm one of those, So I was surprised,
Speaker 8: and how are how kind of happed there he was
Speaker 8: and articulating his belief in faith in Jesus' birth, his death,
Speaker 8: and his resurrection.
Speaker 2: We know for those who are non believers, and look,
Speaker 2: there are a lot of them out there driving around
Speaker 2: right now that might roll their.
Speaker 3: Eyes and all that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: But one thing that cannot be disputed is that Jesus
Speaker 2: was a real person who walked this earth just like
Speaker 2: you and I. And if you just read about the
Speaker 2: way he lived his life, and he really only ministered
Speaker 2: of his thirty three years on this earth, he really
Speaker 2: only ministered I think for about three years. So even
Speaker 2: if you don't believe in let's say the resurrection, okay,
Speaker 2: and you think a lot of this stuff is just
Speaker 2: total nonsense.
Speaker 3: It's a fairy tale.
Speaker 2: What cannot be disputed is that Jesus did live in
Speaker 2: this world and the things that he did while he
Speaker 2: was here. All of us, believer or non believer, can
Speaker 2: take a lot out of it, especially during this time.
Speaker 3: Of the year.
Speaker 8: Well without a doubt. And if you're just a fact person. Again,
Speaker 8: I see myself as a philosopher and a fact guy.
Speaker 8: You know the Great Isaiah Scroll, We have a copy
Speaker 8: of that because it does he scrolls at one hundred
Speaker 8: and twenty five BC.
Speaker 7: We know it's.
Speaker 8: Everything written in Isaiah written at seven hundred BC, but
Speaker 8: we have a complete copy of one twenty five BC.
Speaker 7: That's a fact of history.
Speaker 8: And in that book, one hundred years before Jesus, we
Speaker 8: have a copy of it. It predicts he will be
Speaker 8: born into the land of Zebulin enof Tally, that's the
Speaker 8: area need of ser Galley.
Speaker 7: That's where I'm side would come, where he's going to live.
Speaker 8: How he's going to be born, born of a virgin
Speaker 8: predicted one hundred years in advance. Who's going to come
Speaker 8: visit him? Rulers and kings from a non Jewish nations,
Speaker 8: bringing specific gifts of gold and of frankinsense that happens. Specifically,
Speaker 8: he'll be died by being pierced, you know, crucifixion, He'll
Speaker 8: be killed between other criminals. All of these are very specific,
Speaker 8: very detailed predictions. We have the and the facts of
Speaker 8: where he's going to live, how he's going to die,
Speaker 8: what he's going to talk, how he's going to talk,
Speaker 8: what his message is going to be. So I would
Speaker 8: just say, if you're a person who's into puzzles or
Speaker 8: archaeology or facts, this is more than just a story.
Speaker 8: There are actual concrete evidence that one can look at
Speaker 8: and one can say, wow, not only do you live
Speaker 8: an inspiring life, the life I wish I could be
Speaker 8: capable of living, but also the facts of history push
Speaker 8: me to look at the preponderance of evidence and say,
Speaker 8: I need to wrestle with whether or not this really happened,
Speaker 8: because how in the world do you predict in that
Speaker 8: level specificity that many details about any one human being
Speaker 8: hundreds of years in advance.
Speaker 2: Well, it's just so inspiring this time of year, and
Speaker 2: all of us have the things we have to deal with.
Speaker 2: Whether it's as you mentioned earlier, somebody in the family
Speaker 2: that we've had issues with and we're concerned about what
Speaker 2: might happen around the dinner table, or what might happen
Speaker 2: if we get into a discussion about this or that,
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be. But but you know this
Speaker 2: is this is just such a wonderful conversation to have
Speaker 2: this time of year and really every day of every year.
Speaker 2: So I wish you and your family, Pastor Chad, a very,
Speaker 2: very merry Christmas and can't wait to be with you
Speaker 2: on Christmas Eve.

Speaker 2: there's no doubt about it that the holiday season there
Speaker 2: is a lot going on, a lot of hustle and
Speaker 2: bustle packed with activities. But maybe your energy is drained.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's time to feel festive when it can be
Speaker 2: tough to feel festive, and that could be a sign
Speaker 2: of low testosterone. And this happens to every guy, every
Speaker 2: single one of us out there. Starting in our thirties,
Speaker 2: we lose two to three percent of our testosterone production
