WEBVTT - God's Favor 0:00:00.350 --> 0:00:04.430 Coming to you from the Morning Star Mission sponsored studio. 0:00:04.460 --> 0:00:08.390 This is Carl and crew on Moody Radio. 0:00:08.510 --> 0:00:10.940 Oh, I long for you to get a taste of this, 0:00:10.940 --> 0:00:14.000 I really do. One who modeled the way for me 0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:16.579 on this. And I give glory to God for giving 0:00:16.579 --> 0:00:20.239 me my dad. Goodness sakes. How long has dad been 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:21.919 gone now, guys? A year and a half. 0:00:21.950 --> 0:00:23.750 It's been a I think. Yeah, a year and a 0:00:23.750 --> 0:00:24.560 half for a couple of years. 0:00:24.590 --> 0:00:28.580 Yeah, couple of years. I was driving down the road 0:00:28.580 --> 0:00:31.010 the other day. It's so wild. So. And my dad's funeral. 0:00:31.010 --> 0:00:35.540 I didn't cry a lot. And have you ever been 0:00:35.540 --> 0:00:37.430 in a situation where you didn't cry a lot and 0:00:37.430 --> 0:00:40.669 you felt you should have? Yeah, that's a weird feeling. 0:00:40.700 --> 0:00:42.980 It is a weird feeling. And it stinks because there's 0:00:42.979 --> 0:00:45.200 not a there's not a you should or you shouldn't. 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:46.880 It's just you do or you don't. 0:00:46.909 --> 0:00:51.500 Yeah, and I didn't. And I started actually I was 0:00:51.500 --> 0:00:53.449 kind of ruminating on that a little bit. And then 0:00:53.450 --> 0:00:55.910 the Lord just hit me with, and really, the Spirit 0:00:55.910 --> 0:00:57.860 of God spoke to me and said, listen, this is 0:00:57.860 --> 0:01:01.660 just you. don't grieve as others who don't have Christ. 0:01:01.690 --> 0:01:03.670 You grieve as one who has Christ, knowing that you're 0:01:03.670 --> 0:01:06.069 going to see your dad again. I mean, if there's 0:01:06.069 --> 0:01:08.290 one thing my dad ingrained into my head is I'm 0:01:08.290 --> 0:01:12.700 going to see him again. And God is so rich 0:01:12.730 --> 0:01:20.319 in faith. So my dad understood grace. Grace is unmerited favor. 0:01:20.950 --> 0:01:24.729 But something that people lose a lot and never take 0:01:24.730 --> 0:01:31.600 hold of is that it's unlimited power. It's God. Yeah. 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:35.500 The one who hung Polaris in space, the North Star, 0:01:36.430 --> 0:01:40.179 and dangled a few other around it to represent a ladle, 0:01:40.209 --> 0:01:47.950 a dipper. That's God. That's what he did. That God 0:01:47.950 --> 0:01:53.260 wants to give you grace today. So inspired by my dad, 0:01:53.260 --> 0:01:54.790 one of the greatest gifts he gave me as a 0:01:54.790 --> 0:01:57.900 kid growing up is he always pointed to God's grace, 0:01:58.770 --> 0:02:03.840 always in the funniest ways. When he got his PhD 0:02:03.870 --> 0:02:06.510 at Arizona State University, I was in the sixth grade. 0:02:06.510 --> 0:02:09.000 We went down there from Alaska. He took half a 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:13.440 salary cut to go get some more education, and he 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:18.119 super duper excelled. In fact, his doctoral dissertation was so noted, 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.780 it was held in every public library in the capital city, 0:02:21.780 --> 0:02:23.040 of every state in the Union. 0:02:23.460 --> 0:02:25.440 Really? Yeah. Didn't know that. 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:30.750 It was untested measurements. Real captivating title. It was basically 0:02:30.750 --> 0:02:34.440 how to how to quantify how kids are learning in 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:39.660 a way that helps teachers and administration alike measure outcomes. 0:02:39.690 --> 0:02:40.470 That's really cool. 0:02:40.470 --> 0:02:42.150 And he was he was on the front edge of 0:02:42.150 --> 0:02:48.299 that stuff. Brilliant guy. Great man. But he would always 0:02:48.300 --> 0:02:53.040 say after anything that he did that he felt like 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.990 it was beyond his capacity, Capacities say, man, God's grace 0:02:57.020 --> 0:03:00.230 is good. Eva, he'd say to my mom, isn't God's 0:03:00.230 --> 0:03:06.590 grace good? And I remember sitting in a hot apartment 0:03:06.590 --> 0:03:11.389 in Tempe, Arizona, and that that PhD program was wrapping 0:03:11.389 --> 0:03:16.820 up and my dad's talking to my mom. Eva boycotts. 0:03:16.820 --> 0:03:21.290 Grace is good. I only got that PhD done by 0:03:21.290 --> 0:03:28.760 God's grace. And he'd start to cry. Isn't that something? 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.580 I love it. That's a man who's in tune with 0:03:31.580 --> 0:03:33.860 what God is doing all the time. Not just in 0:03:33.860 --> 0:03:35.990 the crazy big stuff, but the little things, too. 0:03:36.050 --> 0:03:38.720 Yeah. I mean, he'd work on his cars. He'd be 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:42.320 doing a brake job and having some problems getting, you know, 0:03:42.350 --> 0:03:45.680 something unstuck or getting the brake calipers to work out. Right. 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.780 Or something like that. And he'd come out from under 0:03:47.780 --> 0:03:50.360 the car and grease all over his hands, and we 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.120 had that. Gojo. Isn't that the name of the stuff? Go, Joe. 0:03:53.150 --> 0:03:53.660 Go, Joe! 0:03:53.870 --> 0:03:56.120 Goo goo that you put on your hands to get 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.220 the grease off. And my dad would look at me 0:03:58.220 --> 0:04:02.510 and he'd say, Carl, that was the grace of God 0:04:02.510 --> 0:04:07.040 that I got that figured out. No joking man. I 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.800 love it. We built a home together and I was 16. 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:14.300 And my dad would say every morning and every night, boy, 0:04:14.300 --> 0:04:16.970 it's the grace of God we're getting this done. And 0:04:17.330 --> 0:04:19.520 that one I believed him on because it was just 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.859 me and his 16 year old son. And I'm like, yeah, 0:04:21.860 --> 0:04:24.170 I think this is the grace of God, dad. Amen. 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.890 So I just need you to know something this morning. 0:04:29.180 --> 0:04:32.450 Our God has all the grace you need. And I'm 0:04:32.450 --> 0:04:36.680 going to tell you how to get it. Unmerited favor 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:41.000 and unlimited power. I'm going to tell you how to 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:45.890 get it. James, the brother of Jesus, says God opposes 0:04:45.890 --> 0:04:53.470 the proud, but he gives grace to the humble. Humility 0:04:53.470 --> 0:04:56.830 is not making pitiful little of you. It's actually knowing 0:04:56.860 --> 0:05:01.659 actually who you are in Jesus and getting positioned under him, saying, 0:05:01.660 --> 0:05:08.320 that's my dad, that's my dad, and allowing him to 0:05:08.350 --> 0:05:12.640 irrigate your soul with his power and mercy and love 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.969 in such a way that out of humility, you look 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:21.460 at something you do that you can't explain on your own, 0:05:23.350 --> 0:05:27.970 not in your own strength. And you say, well, you 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:32.170 find those EVAs in your life. You go, Eva, God 0:05:32.170 --> 0:05:37.510 gave me the grace to do that. I don't know 0:05:37.510 --> 0:05:41.110 what you're up against today, but I want to encourage you. 0:05:41.110 --> 0:05:45.670 It's a choice. It is a privilege. We can choose 0:05:45.670 --> 0:05:49.960 to humble ourselves today under God's mighty hand. Put pride 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.680 on a shelf. You know this. This is not a 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.950 good time for you to be cock sure of yourself. 0:05:57.820 --> 0:06:05.080 That ain't good, man. But humility opens a portal to 0:06:05.110 --> 0:06:13.839 unmerited favor from God. An unlimited power. And I wonder 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.380 what God wants to do in your life today. That 0:06:17.380 --> 0:06:21.339 if you would just but humble yourself under his mighty hand, 0:06:21.370 --> 0:06:28.450 he would move. I wonder what it is. We don't 0:06:28.450 --> 0:06:31.270 have to wonder anymore. We can go out and get 0:06:31.270 --> 0:06:39.250 it today. I had a good model for a dad. 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.159 He's in the front row of the cloud of witnesses, 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:49.640 I know it. He was always big into cheering. He 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.799 cheered for me. He cheered for others. He cheered for 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:58.280 the down and outers like nobody's business, man. And he 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:03.919 would even say that's the grace of God. So you 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:10.010 want grace? Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God. Today, 0:07:11.060 --> 0:07:13.190 I don't want you to be cocky about the money. 0:07:13.190 --> 0:07:16.910 You have, the position you have, the place you have. 0:07:19.490 --> 0:07:24.290 Who you think you are, but who God is. And 0:07:24.290 --> 0:07:28.610 it's going to carry you far. It's funny. God's grace 0:07:28.610 --> 0:07:31.040 comes in a lot of packages. Sometimes it comes in 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.670 a package of a dad who sacrifices to get you 0:07:34.670 --> 0:07:38.960 a little thing called a camcorder, and the rest is history. 0:07:38.990 --> 0:07:41.510 Is that the grace of God? It often is. And 0:07:41.510 --> 0:07:44.030 we got a story to prove it. Coming up. 0:07:44.060 --> 0:07:46.990 You can take him out of Alaska, but you can't 0:07:46.990 --> 0:07:50.980 take Alaska out of him. Carl is in the crew. 0:07:51.010 --> 0:07:53.890 It's Carl and crew on Moody Radio. 0:07:53.950 --> 0:07:57.520 So, young Thunder, you done any gimbal shooting with your iPhone? 0:07:57.670 --> 0:07:58.810 What is gimbal shooting? 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.450 Well, you got this little gyroscopic little device that you 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.130 hold up, and it will follow you around, and it 0:08:03.130 --> 0:08:04.900 doesn't shake the camera and all that, you know? 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:06.190 Oh, no. No. 0:08:06.220 --> 0:08:07.750 I got one of those. It doesn't work very well. 0:08:07.780 --> 0:08:08.590 You have one of those? 0:08:08.620 --> 0:08:11.020 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My team said you 0:08:11.050 --> 0:08:12.520 got to have one of these. And I'm like, how 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.010 do you work this stupid thing? I need some help. 0:08:15.010 --> 0:08:17.650 I got the man right now, John Irwin. He's the man. 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.800 Why ain't my gimbal working, bro? Something's going on here. 0:08:20.950 --> 0:08:25.090 Just keep trying. You know, we use them all the time. And, 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:26.500 of course, you know, I say I know how to 0:08:26.530 --> 0:08:28.990 use a gimbal. I have, like, camera teams of five 0:08:28.990 --> 0:08:31.090 people that give me. You're like me, you know, you're 0:08:31.090 --> 0:08:31.510 like me. 0:08:31.540 --> 0:08:34.420 You don't. You couldn't work it either. John, John Irwin 0:08:34.420 --> 0:08:37.390 is with us. Boom crew. He started off as an 0:08:37.390 --> 0:08:40.930 ESPN cameraman. When did God give you a vision for 0:08:40.929 --> 0:08:42.760 shooting feature films? 0:08:42.790 --> 0:08:45.960 Well, you know, I think just like the story I'm telling, 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.330 the story of David right now, you know, on Amazon. 0:08:48.330 --> 0:08:50.670 And one of the great themes of the story, I think, 0:08:50.670 --> 0:08:53.640 is that it was, you know, years and years before 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.770 there was ever a crown on David's head after he 0:08:55.770 --> 0:08:58.589 was anointed king. And I think that it's okay to 0:08:58.620 --> 0:09:01.470 have long seasons of preparation and try to get really 0:09:01.470 --> 0:09:03.510 good at what you do. And for me, I started 0:09:03.510 --> 0:09:06.930 at age 15 as a cameraman for ESPN. Someone got 0:09:06.929 --> 0:09:09.600 sick and I was interning for a cameraman at my church, 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.939 and I took their place at the last minute and 0:09:11.940 --> 0:09:15.000 had the time of my life. And about a week later, 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:16.740 a crewing agent called me and said, are you a 0:09:16.740 --> 0:09:19.469 freelance camera operator in Birmingham, Alabama, which is where I 0:09:19.470 --> 0:09:21.300 was raised. I didn't know if that was. I didn't 0:09:21.300 --> 0:09:22.350 know what that was. I didn't know if it was 0:09:22.350 --> 0:09:25.020 three jobs, one job. So I was just like, I 0:09:25.020 --> 0:09:26.760 got my deepest voice and I'm like, well, yes, I 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.670 do that. I'm a professional at that. And, uh, and 0:09:29.670 --> 0:09:32.640 so I did that all through my teenage years and 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.310 early 20s, and my dad bought me a camera with 0:09:35.309 --> 0:09:37.979 money he didn't have when I was 16. And we 0:09:38.010 --> 0:09:40.410 went to Israel together, and that's when I started dreaming 0:09:40.410 --> 0:09:42.470 of bringing reading the Bible to life, but it was 0:09:42.470 --> 0:09:44.360 really I was. My brother and I were music video 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:48.380 directors for many years, and it wasn't until I, um, 0:09:48.410 --> 0:09:51.380 went and directed second unit on a film by the 0:09:51.380 --> 0:09:54.530 Kendrick brothers called courageous. I directed the action sequences to 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.460 that film and had a great time. And Alex asked me, John, 0:09:58.460 --> 0:10:00.199 what's your purpose and the purpose of your work? It 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.480 was like the first question out of his mouth, and 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.220 I really couldn't answer it. And not only could I 0:10:04.250 --> 0:10:06.080 not answer it, I couldn't stop thinking about it. And 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.050 that really gave me the courage to jump off the 0:10:09.050 --> 0:10:13.550 ledge and kind of fuse a career with a life's calling. 0:10:13.550 --> 0:10:15.350 And you'll never have more fun if you if you 0:10:15.350 --> 0:10:17.540 take the time to get, you know, really good at 0:10:17.540 --> 0:10:20.240 something and then do it, you know, for a purpose 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.820 bigger than yourself and for God's glory instead of your own. 0:10:22.820 --> 0:10:24.709 And that was that was 15 years ago. 0:10:24.740 --> 0:10:29.150 Beautiful. Listen, boom crew with me. John Irwin, director and 0:10:29.150 --> 0:10:33.290 executive producer of a brand new project, House of David, 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:37.460 on Amazon Prime. I had a chance to preview this 0:10:37.460 --> 0:10:41.240 a couple days before it was launched. It is epic. 0:10:41.270 --> 0:10:44.420 You know, I'm old enough to remember when Christian. I'm 0:10:44.420 --> 0:10:47.300 using that in air quotes films came out and I'm like, 0:10:47.330 --> 0:10:51.979 oh man, great story. Production quality, not great. But boy, 0:10:51.980 --> 0:10:54.440 they started going up, up, up. Boom. I got to 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.470 tell you right now, I have not seen better production 0:10:57.470 --> 0:11:00.679 quality ever in my life. And I'm not stretching it 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.140 because I love this guy and I'm not stretching it 0:11:03.140 --> 0:11:06.199 because it's the story of David. Straight up. This is 0:11:06.230 --> 0:11:10.880 astounding work and I can't cheer for you enough. John. 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:14.000 Every Christ follower needs to be tuned in. Are you 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.030 blown away that Amazon hosted this? I mean, they're promoting 0:11:17.030 --> 0:11:17.990 it big time, aren't they? 0:11:17.990 --> 0:11:22.040 John, can you believe this? That Amazon is funding it, 0:11:22.070 --> 0:11:24.350 sending it all over the world. But we are in 0:11:24.350 --> 0:11:28.310 absolute creative control. That was a non-negotiable in our as 0:11:28.309 --> 0:11:30.440 we were doing the deal. And they wanted us to 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.290 have it because they realized that, you know, we represent 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.170 a huge, underserved audience and our voice has been so 0:11:36.170 --> 0:11:39.160 loudly heard, Whether it's the success of the films that 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.110 I've been a part of, like Jesus Revolution or I 0:11:41.110 --> 0:11:43.839 Can Only Imagine or, you know, the phenomenon that Dallas 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.449 has created that's become The Chosen. Our voice has been 0:11:46.450 --> 0:11:50.380 so loudly heard that doors are just, you know, exploding 0:11:50.380 --> 0:11:53.410 open that were never open before. So I really do 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.830 consider this a new Romans Road, if you think about it. 0:11:56.830 --> 0:12:00.670 Christianity went out on the Roman road. We didn't build roads. 0:12:00.670 --> 0:12:02.679 Rome did. They weren't built for the gospel. They were 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:04.930 built for the military expansion. But they were there and 0:12:04.929 --> 0:12:07.959 we used them. Mass entertainment really is like the new 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:11.109 Roman road. And the louder we get our voice, the 0:12:11.110 --> 0:12:13.630 more we unify our voice together, the more we support 0:12:13.630 --> 0:12:16.870 these things. Triggers this amazing thing called FOMO, which is 0:12:16.870 --> 0:12:19.900 the fear of missing out. And algorithms do their thing, 0:12:19.900 --> 0:12:24.220 and all of a sudden it just goes on global autopilot. 0:12:24.220 --> 0:12:27.340 And in fact, in just the first 17 days of 0:12:27.340 --> 0:12:30.700 House of David, it blew past everyone's expectations. It was 0:12:30.700 --> 0:12:34.900 over 22 million viewers worldwide, which is about as many 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.500 movie tickets as I've ever sold in my career. To 0:12:37.530 --> 0:12:39.870 put it in perspective. In total and in total. And 0:12:39.870 --> 0:12:42.660 it's just an unbelievable moment. And it's been in the 0:12:42.660 --> 0:12:45.900 top five of Amazon since it launched, and it's just 0:12:45.929 --> 0:12:47.970 an amazing moment. And when you compare that to the 0:12:47.970 --> 0:12:49.950 fact that The Chosen is about to be in theaters, 0:12:49.950 --> 0:12:52.830 it really is this year of the Bible. I mean, 0:12:52.830 --> 0:12:55.680 it's it's a watershed moment. It's like the wall is 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.780 falling down right in front of us, and it's exciting 0:12:57.809 --> 0:13:00.030 to play any role in that, in that journey. 0:13:00.059 --> 0:13:02.819 The first episode in House of David. I'm not going 0:13:02.850 --> 0:13:08.370 to be a spoiler here, but you introduce this in 0:13:08.370 --> 0:13:13.470 a way that was so profoundly impactful to everyone that 0:13:13.470 --> 0:13:17.220 was previewing this. He caught us off guard, and I 0:13:17.220 --> 0:13:21.300 love that, because then you go into the storyline or 0:13:21.300 --> 0:13:24.750 really the the life situation, the sits and Laban of 0:13:24.750 --> 0:13:28.170 David and you start to mine things. And how did 0:13:28.170 --> 0:13:30.750 you put it? You said the full text that you're 0:13:30.750 --> 0:13:33.770 uncovering is X, but you have to go into the 0:13:33.770 --> 0:13:38.540 historical cultural understanding of that time. And you had some biblical, 0:13:38.540 --> 0:13:42.200 I really believe, biblically accurate flavor to this. How are 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:47.569 you guided in your direction? Production of this House of David? 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:49.940 Well, what I've heard it said, you know, if a 0:13:49.940 --> 0:13:52.520 turtle is on a on a, you know, a fence post, 0:13:52.550 --> 0:13:54.260 you know, he had help getting up there, you know. 0:13:54.290 --> 0:13:56.870 And I think I've just got a ton of people 0:13:56.870 --> 0:13:59.569 that are helping. I mean, there's nearly 700 people working 0:13:59.570 --> 0:14:02.930 on the show, but when it comes to the scripts themselves, 0:14:02.990 --> 0:14:06.110 you know, I've got a wonderful friend and collaborator in Dallas, Jenkins. 0:14:06.110 --> 0:14:09.140 And so I it's wonderful to be second, you know, 0:14:09.170 --> 0:14:12.260 in the water when it comes to biblical, you know, adaptations. 0:14:12.350 --> 0:14:15.349 Series adaptations. And the lead writer of The Chosen, Ryan. 0:14:15.350 --> 0:14:18.559 Very helpful to me. And then, uh, Jesse, who's the 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.680 biblical scholar that helps with the chosen. He was influential 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.180 with this as well. And then we had many, many 0:14:23.180 --> 0:14:25.910 scholars and and then wonderful friends, you know, that just 0:14:25.910 --> 0:14:28.010 sat beside the project. And, you know, what I tell 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.979 people is this is not scripture. It's important to remember that, 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.220 but it's a love letter to Scripture, and it's meant 0:14:34.220 --> 0:14:36.979 to be a gigantic billboard to Scripture. You know, I 0:14:36.980 --> 0:14:39.650 don't know about you. I just feel as a dad 0:14:39.650 --> 0:14:42.500 that getting my kids aware of or interested in the 0:14:42.500 --> 0:14:46.160 Bible is nearly impossible. And so I love this verse 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.470 where Paul says of David in acts that he served 0:14:48.470 --> 0:14:50.930 the purposes of God in his generation. And I think 0:14:50.930 --> 0:14:53.570 that's all of our jobs. You think about Moody Radio, 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.900 you know, you think about the journey of harnessing technology 0:14:56.900 --> 0:14:59.840 and using it to get the gospel around the world. 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.180 I think films and television shows are just another way 0:15:02.180 --> 0:15:04.070 to do that. So this is like a painting or 0:15:04.070 --> 0:15:07.520 poetry or music, you know, this is any art that 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.820 is meant to reflect, you know, the Bible itself, you know, 0:15:10.850 --> 0:15:12.620 is meant to be seen that way. But we take 0:15:12.650 --> 0:15:14.990 about three chapters of the Bible, which could be read 0:15:14.990 --> 0:15:18.210 in 15, 20 minutes, and we extrapolate them into eight 0:15:18.210 --> 0:15:21.200 hours of storytelling. And we really ask the question, what 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.450 must this have been like for these people? These were 0:15:23.450 --> 0:15:26.120 real people. They didn't know what was going to happen 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:27.680 in the next chapter, you know. 0:15:27.710 --> 0:15:27.980 Right. 0:15:28.010 --> 0:15:31.050 And they had real lives and families and fears and problems. 0:15:31.050 --> 0:15:34.410 And so it really is illuminating to me as I 0:15:34.410 --> 0:15:37.020 make the show like I'm reading the Psalms more than 0:15:37.020 --> 0:15:39.150 I ever have, and I'm reading them in a whole 0:15:39.150 --> 0:15:42.660 new way because of, you know, we're dramatizing the life 0:15:42.660 --> 0:15:44.730 of this character, and I hope that that's the same 0:15:44.730 --> 0:15:46.590 journey that the audience goes on as well. 0:15:46.590 --> 0:15:49.680 You will. And listen. Boom, crew. I'm asking you to 0:15:49.710 --> 0:15:52.590 spread this far and wide all across the United States. 0:15:52.620 --> 0:15:56.250 This I want you to do for your benefit.

All right, John, I've got a special request 0:16:22.890 --> 0:16:25.020 and I've got you here. I've got a captive audience. 0:16:25.020 --> 0:16:29.090 I'm begging you to do my favorite King Josiah story someday. 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.430 Dude, a lot of times the Old Testament is like 0:16:31.430 --> 0:16:34.130 flying through a theme park in a jet, and there's 0:16:34.130 --> 0:16:36.260 these incredible stories. 0:16:36.290 --> 0:16:36.770 Pop outs. 0:16:36.980 --> 0:16:40.220 That are that are briefly mentioned. Josiah would be one 0:16:40.220 --> 0:16:41.900 of them. I was reading Nehemiah the other day. It's 0:16:41.900 --> 0:16:44.300 such a short book, but it's in first person. And, 0:16:44.330 --> 0:16:48.140 you know, there's these incredible stories, and my dream is 0:16:48.140 --> 0:16:50.270 to be a part of bringing as many of them 0:16:50.270 --> 0:16:53.270 to the screen as possible. You know, big screen, little 0:16:53.270 --> 0:16:56.720 screen doesn't matter. And it's amazing to see, you know, 0:16:56.750 --> 0:16:59.600 what happens when people watch them, and then they get 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.730 curious about the book that can change their life. I 0:17:01.730 --> 0:17:04.280 remember when some of the Amazon executives read them. They 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:05.959 said they're like, we really like these scripts. I'm like, 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:07.940 it's based off of best seller. It'll change your life. 0:17:07.940 --> 0:17:09.830 You should check it out. It's the best selling book 0:17:09.830 --> 0:17:11.960 of all time for a reason. Yeah. You know, and 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.389 so that's that's the dream is that these works of 0:17:14.390 --> 0:17:17.030 art push people back to the Bible again. 0:17:17.060 --> 0:17:20.150 Yeah. Josiah, we got to get Josiah, man. 0:17:20.180 --> 0:17:22.640 Let's do it. Let's put it in the queue, man. It's. 0:17:22.670 --> 0:17:25.430 There are so many stories to tell. I mean, you really, 0:17:25.460 --> 0:17:28.070 it's unbelievable when you think about the Bible being written 0:17:28.070 --> 0:17:32.540 over thousands of years, and yet it's this one cohesive story. 0:17:32.540 --> 0:17:35.090 It's beautiful. And yet you have all of these individual 0:17:35.090 --> 0:17:38.510 stories and characters, and there's so much to tell. And 0:17:38.510 --> 0:17:41.120 these stories echo through the centuries for a reason. I mean, 0:17:41.150 --> 0:17:43.850 it is really a book that's alive and powerful. So 0:17:43.850 --> 0:17:45.590 I'll put it on the list, man. Let's do it. 0:17:45.619 --> 0:17:48.470 All right, John Irwin, everybody.

So. 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:48.859 So what was your best experience at Moody? 0:20:48.890 --> 0:20:52.879 Oh, my best experience.

Yeah. 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.889 Excellent. Okay. This is really cool. I want to thank 0:21:51.890 --> 0:21:54.470 you for popping in here. Got a little pop up 0:21:54.470 --> 0:21:57.230 window here for you guys and wherever you are, and 0:21:57.230 --> 0:22:02.000 I really. Boy, how do I spike this? My experience. 0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:04.310 I was kind of at the moody of the West Coast. 0:22:04.310 --> 0:22:07.550 It was called Multnomah Bible College. But I gotta tell you, 0:22:07.550 --> 0:22:12.560 it was one of the most transformational experiences going. And 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:16.109 we got a manager here, Matt McNeely. His son is 0:22:16.109 --> 0:22:20.940 on campus and I know he's gobbling it up. And 0:22:20.940 --> 0:22:23.100 this might be something that the Spirit of God is 0:22:23.100 --> 0:22:27.780 prompting you with. I do want to say, this is 0:22:27.780 --> 0:22:31.260 a place where a kid who's got saving faith in 0:22:31.260 --> 0:22:35.760 Christ and really wants to get guided, wants to give 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:40.230 their life away, but doesn't know exactly where. This is 0:22:40.230 --> 0:22:42.900 a great place to figure it out because God's doing 0:22:42.900 --> 0:22:45.510 a great work here at Moody Bible Institute, so I 0:22:45.510 --> 0:22:50.280 want you to check it out. Experience Moody. And no 0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:52.409 matter where you are, by the way, it's these. This 0:22:52.410 --> 0:22:55.420 Friday isn't the only date we've got. Looks like April 0:22:55.420 --> 0:22:59.100 25th and May 2nd as well. So pretty cool, Sydney, 0:22:59.100 --> 0:23:01.260 that you've got these things. Do you find a lot 0:23:01.290 --> 0:23:03.540 of fruit coming out of these? When kids get a taste, 0:23:03.540 --> 0:23:05.790 then they then they say, I want more. 0:23:05.820 --> 0:23:09.060 Yeah, definitely. We definitely see them just wanting to engage 0:23:09.060 --> 0:23:12.240 so much more and they're just so excited once they're here, 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:16.460 which definitely moves people once they see it, they're really 0:23:16.460 --> 0:23:18.109 seeing what Moody is all about. 0:23:18.109 --> 0:23:19.550 So yeah, love it. 0:23:19.580 --> 0:23:21.080 What do you say, Young Thunder? 0:23:21.109 --> 0:23:22.790 Well, I'll say, you know, I was a student at 0:23:22.820 --> 0:23:26.510 Moody as well, and I learned more about Moody through 0:23:26.540 --> 0:23:30.080 my experience Moody visit and really, yeah, I did. And 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:32.480 so that was one of the convincing factors for me 0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:35.180 to come in here was getting to see the campus, 0:23:35.210 --> 0:23:37.460 you know, on my own and tour it and get 0:23:37.460 --> 0:23:39.950 to go to a class and, and go to chapel. 0:23:39.950 --> 0:23:42.080 And it is a great experience.

You get to renovate it home. 0:31:48.070 --> 0:31:49.930 Stay on the horn. I can't renovate your home, but 0:31:49.930 --> 0:31:52.450 I got a Carl and crew prize pack.

Good dream. 0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:11.650 That's a that's a messy barn, though. By the end 0:32:11.650 --> 0:32:12.160 of the day. 0:32:12.190 --> 0:32:13.270 Oh, yeah. It's a barn. 0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:16.300 See the help with the money. 0:32:16.540 --> 0:32:16.660 Is. 0:32:16.660 --> 0:32:17.740 There?

No, man. You and 0:32:27.640 --> 0:32:30.640 my wife, Sandy. She'd love to get more rescue cats. 0:32:30.670 --> 0:32:32.500 We got two of them. We tried a third one, 0:32:32.500 --> 0:32:36.010 but the. But the first one here decided she didn't 0:32:36.010 --> 0:32:38.920 like that one, so that didn't. We had to find 0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:42.850 her another home. That one didn't work. Stay on the horn. Okay. 0:32:42.880 --> 0:32:44.950 There's method to this, and I'm going to break it 0:32:44.950 --> 0:32:48.430 for you right now. Have you ever had things that 0:32:48.430 --> 0:32:52.720 you're like, yeah, I wish I had that, but I 0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:57.420 can't afford it. And I'm turning this on a super 0:32:57.420 --> 0:33:00.870 serious note, because some of you got up today and 0:33:00.870 --> 0:33:03.990 you feel like, I wish I had a little more 0:33:03.990 --> 0:33:09.360 favor going on in my life and a little more power. 0:33:10.770 --> 0:33:15.090 And I want you to know, regardless of who you are, 0:33:15.120 --> 0:33:19.140 what you've done in the past or in the present, 0:33:19.650 --> 0:33:24.810 or where you find yourself today, God has it for you. 0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:34.560 And I'll tell you how unlimited favor. And unlimited power 0:33:36.330 --> 0:33:40.020 is found in the grace of God. And let me 0:33:40.020 --> 0:33:45.570 tell you how you get it. This is so important, guys. 0:33:47.430 --> 0:33:51.740 We find in James chapter four verse six. But God 0:33:51.740 --> 0:33:58.070 gives more grace. Therefore it says God opposes the proud 0:33:58.070 --> 0:34:02.390 but gives grace to the humble, and there is no charge. 0:34:02.930 --> 0:34:04.940 You know what I love about the grace of God? 0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:08.120 I was up really early this morning just reading through 0:34:08.120 --> 0:34:11.960 the book of James, and I hit upon this and 0:34:11.960 --> 0:34:20.150 I thought, my goodness. This incredible favor and this unlimited power, 0:34:20.150 --> 0:34:22.400 which is God's grace to do in us what we 0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:26.509 can't do in ourselves. It's astounding. And God has it 0:34:26.510 --> 0:34:30.529 for you. All you have to do is humble yourself 0:34:30.530 --> 0:34:34.460 under his mighty hand. And today God brings his hand 0:34:34.460 --> 0:34:38.870 to you and says, take my grace is for you. 0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:44.420 Humbling yourself under God's mighty hand isn't saying I'm too little, 0:34:44.420 --> 0:34:49.399 I'm too small. But God, you are so great. Humble yourself. 0:34:49.489 --> 0:34:50.299 No cost.
