16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: Well. Operation Epic Fury appears to be going to the

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: next level. President Trump says Iran was getting ready to

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: attack America. He went on to say this we really

19
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: had no choice. Just about everyone except the lunatics said

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: we had to get it done. He also said there

21
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: was a dark cloud hanging not over just Israel. Within

22
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: a week, they were going to attack the United States.

23
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Through Operation Epic Fury, we are destroying Iran's nuclear and

24
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: ballistic missile capabilities and weakening the regime's ability to threaten

25
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: the world with terror. Lindsa Graham went on to say

26
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: this none of this would have been possible without our

27
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: Commander in Chief, his cabinet, and our brave men and

28
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: women in uniform. This week, all oyes were glued to

29
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: a special moment of honoring a hero. Vice President jd. Vance,

30
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and General Dan Kine all

31
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: attended the dignified transfer of Sergeant Benjamin Pennington, who was

32
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: killed in Operation Epic Fury. Since the beginning of the operation,

33
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty service members have been wounded, and

34
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: the American death toll, I think, is now at seven.

35
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: Pray for our war fighters and all in harms way.

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: Pray for the families of those who have lost loved

37
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: ones and those wounded in combat.

38
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: Freedom isn't free.

39
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: There's a growing concern also over radicalized terrorist activity now

40
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: and terror cells being activated in New York City. Over

41
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: the weekend, two ISIS supporters were charged with attempting to

42
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: detonate explosive devices during protests outside of Gracie Mansion. Hey.

43
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: In the midst of all this, the President hosted faith

44
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: leaders in the Oval Office for a time of prayer

45
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: in the White House. In times like these, we know this,

46
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: our hope, our strength comes from the Lord. Here's a

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: great verse to hold on too this week from the Bible.

48
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: It's Matthew six, verse thirty three. But seek ye first

49
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these

50
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: things will be added unto you. Let's pray, we'll get started,

51
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: goid our conversation be in the midst of all of this.

52
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: Thank you for your faithfulness, your goodness and grace. Hi,

53
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: pray this is this strong name of Jesus. Amen, Let's

Speaker 1: Joys now is Bishop Calvin Coberis. He currently serves as

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,000

Speaker 5: Good morning, Doctor Klink, Thank you for having me.

64
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: Bishop. We get started in the midst of everything that's

65
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: going on in the world. There's a few things going on.

66
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: President Donald J. Chump invited faith leaders into the Oval

67
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: Office for a time of prayer. We had some conversation, Bishop,

68
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: we've got to pray over the President, just some reflections

69
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: on our time together there.

70
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 5: I mean, doctor Clinton, you and I have been blessed

71
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 5: to have access to the over Office on many occasions,

72
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 5: but this occasion was most significant because while we're in

73
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 5: the midst of war and conflict, and the President coming

74
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 5: out of the Situation room, he was greeted by his

75
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 5: pastors and he was overjoyed, and I saw a piece

76
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 5: of contentment come over him. To see us in the

77
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 5: room and to have the opportunity to share encouragement with

78
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 5: him and to pray over him and to see his

79
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 5: reception was just absolutely awesome and incredible.

80
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, the way to the world, when you think about

81
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: it's literally resting on his shoulders. It's a time to

82
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: pray for discernment, wisdom, clarity, moral clarity, more. Bishop. It

83
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: was Yeah, he seemed to calm himself. There, had a

84
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: lot of fun, had a lot of conversation, going back

85
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: and forth with people talking about issues and more, Bishop,

86
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: what struck you most about the many issues and challenges

87
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: that we were talking about.

88
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 5: I think what struck me most is President Trump's courage

89
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 5: is second to none. And while this man is a

90
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 5: man of courage, he is still human. So I know

91
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 5: that he still feels the weight of that responsibility and

92
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 5: the weight of him being the leader to stand up

93
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 5: to darkness and face the enemies of the nations and

94
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 5: knowing that that can cost him and it's already cast

95
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 5: him in big ways. And it compelled me more as

96
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 5: a minister that has access you and I to him,

97
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 5: to not only pray in his presence, but to intensify

98
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 5: our prayer for him because we know that the atmosphere

99
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 5: and eye enemies are very upset right now, you.

100
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: Know, Bishop, there was some conversation about Iran and what

101
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: was going to happen. Yeah, and there's been some social

102
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: media blow up about you know, you know, the Israel

103
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: was pressuring the president to do this or that. Right,

104
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: everybody who knows President Donald J. Trump, he's gonna be

105
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: pressured to do anything he want to do. He gonna

106
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: do what he thinks is right, and he's going to

107
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: make a move Bishop, and he did talk to about

108
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: how serious it was that Iran was getting ready to attack.

109
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: We couldn't just sit back, quote on our hands, and

110
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: I saw peace out there where he said this. We

111
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: really had no choice. Just about everybody except lunatics, he said,

112
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: said we had to get it done. There was a

113
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: dark cloud hanging not only over Israel. Within a week

114
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: or so, they were going to attack the United States.

115
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: That's a pretty strong statement.

116
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 5: Right, And I think that's what the United States does

117
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 5: not realize. This is not just about Israel. The big

118
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 5: snake to Iran is the United States. They want to

119
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 5: take us out. And our president is on his on

120
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 5: coint endness, intelligence and in this direction to face the

121
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 5: enemy and to deal with something that no other leader,

122
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 5: no other president has in history. And so we're praying

123
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 5: for him as he takes on this enemy.

124
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: Bishop. My dad was a part of what Tom Brocow

125
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: called the greatest generation ever World War Two veterans. He

126
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: taught us. My dad, who was a pastor by the

127
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: way for over fifty years in the hills of central Pennsylvania,

128
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: tell us that freedom wasn't free. This week, we saw

129
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: a moment where we were honoring a hero Vice President JD. Van,

130
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and General Dan Caine actually attend,

131
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: if attended the dignified transfer of Sergeant Benjamin Pennington, killed

132
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: in Operation Epic Fury, but one hundred and forty service

133
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: members have been wounded since the start this operation. The

134
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: death tolls now at seven. Bishop, the President indicated, probably

135
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: going to be a little bit more that's going to happen.

136
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: This is serious, This is sober stuff, you know that.

137
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: And I always appreciate honor, you know, especially in these

138
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: kinds of situations, especially for families who lose loved ones.

139
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: Freedom isn't free, yes, and.

140
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 5: I honor all of those who are served, who serve

141
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 5: and are serving presently. I called them our heroes and

142
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 5: deathly those families of the Folham Heroes, that God would

143
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 5: be with them and comfort them. But we thank them

144
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 5: for their service. And in the midst of this conflict,

145
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 5: we have to cover our servicemen and women because they

146
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 5: are putting theirself and their lives up for the cause

147
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 5: of our liberty. As you say it, freedom is not free, Bishop.

148
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: In the midst of it, people get concerned that maybe

149
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: some radical terror cells activity is going to start happening.

150
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: We're hearing a little bits and pieces of it. Over

151
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: the weekend, two is of supporters were charged with attempting

152
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: to detonate exposive devices during protests outside of what was

153
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: called Gracie Mansion there in New York City. According to

154
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: DJ Now, Bishop, fear is what starts happening in the

155
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: hearts of people. You know that. And if people are

156
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: going to shake up the country, yeah, that's that kind

157
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: of activity is going to quote, you know, really sound

158
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: the forefire alarm, if you will. Bishop, Just your thoughts

159
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: on how you keep people calm in the midst of

160
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: this kind of a storm.

161
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 5: Well, one, I understand that people are concerned. We're human,

162
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 5: and out of concern, amidity can rise because we've had

163
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 5: attacks from the inside years ago during September eleventh, and

164
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 5: that's what people are concerned about, that we have enemies

165
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 5: already position here in America waiting at any opportunity to

166
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 5: attack us. But I said it to a group last night,

167
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 5: these words, when David took out the Life, he had

168
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 5: five smooth stones. Why did he have five smooth stones?

169
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 5: Because of course, when you take out the Life, the

170
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 5: liath has brothers and I want us to understand that

171
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 5: instead of having fear, we need to operate in faith.

172
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 5: And faith calls us to be aware. It calls us

173
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 5: to be strategic and to be on point, to not

174
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 5: be caught off God, but to even expect the opposition

175
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 5: to grow of the enemy, but to know that greatest

176
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 5: He that is in us, that He that is in

177
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 5: the world. And as we remain faithful in prayer, remain

178
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 5: faithful in our stance and our courage, we leave the

179
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 5: rest to God to protect and to keep us and

180
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 5: to empower us to make it through this moment in time.

181
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: Bishop, in the midst of it, I think everybody again

182
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: is recognizing, everyone's acknowledging that faith is back in America.

183
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

184
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this thing is surging people everywhere. They're done

185
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: with this transgender ideology being railroaded, shoved down everyone's throat.

186
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: They're done with all the insanity they're seeing online. They're

187
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: done with all of this craziness that's going on. You know,

188
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: you heard the President make that statement in his State

189
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: of Union address. These people are crazy. Bishop, at the

190
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: end of the day, just boil it all down. We're

191
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: talking about biblical principles, just simple things to stand on

192
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: and the messaging in they're trying to quote say, the

193
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: Bible says that, the Bible says that Jesus did this,

194
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: Jesus didn't do that. How do you shake this whole

195
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: thing down? Bishop? And how and what should we be

196
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: praying and think about as we again move towards summer

197
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: May seventeenth, that rededication service of America and so much more.

198
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 6: You know, with all of the pluralism and dealism and

199
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 6: all of these different isms that we have rising against

200
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 6: truth today, we have to stand our ground and maintain

201
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 6: our truth and not be moved by I think we

202
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 6: need apologetics training in churches like never before to be

203
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 6: able to defend our faith and to not cower and

204
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 6: back down because of the lies that are coming from

205
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 6: those who are trying to dismount to truth.

206
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 5: And I believe that faith is back, and I thank

207
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 5: God for a commander in chief that is under God's

208
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 5: command and realize that in order for America to be

209
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 5: great and to be great again, we've got to go

210
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 5: back to the foundation of judio Christian values to uphold them,

211
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 5: to seek God, to rededicate our nation back to God

212
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 5: so that the people would realize that the power and

213
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 5: the prosperity that we enjoy today all came from the

214
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 5: foundation and the alignment and the association with our faith

215
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 5: and in the alignment with the principles of God. So

216
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 5: we've got to remain and stick to that.

217
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: Bishop, We're seeing a lot of courage, but ultimately comes

218
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: back by the backbones that are being stiffened, if you will,

219
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: because of conviction. We're getting it pushed to quote know

220
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: what we believe and to stand bold for what we believe.

221
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: And it's on God's word that we do that very thing.

222
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: Bishop Kelvin Coberts, always great to have you. Thank you

223
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: for joining me.

224
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 5: Thank you.

225
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: Coming up next, he's the president of American Values and

226
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: senior vice president of public Policy for the Doctor James

227
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Dobson Family Institute. Gary Bauer is with us. Do people

228
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: ever come to you asking for help? Maybe hope?

229
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: How about prayer?

230
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: Do you ever wish you understood the issues better that

231
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: people are wrestling with, or how to use the Bible

232
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: more effectively and caring for people? If so, I'd love

233
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: to get a copy of our Care and Council Bible

234
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: in your hands, featuring one hundred and sixteen topics written

235

Speaker 1: by some of the world's best mental health and ministry experts.

236
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: I think you'll love it topics like discouragement, abuse, depression, divorce, anxiety, abortion,

237
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: and more. So you can learn more about these issues

238
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: and how to use the Bible more effectively, how to

239
00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: share passages of scripture with others, maybe even yourself as

240
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: you're sitting down over a cup of coffee. You know

241
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: what I love most about this Bible is that it's

242
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: so easy to use. You can find right up front

Speaker 1: and so much more to go to so you can

245
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: use the Bible more effectively in caring for other people.

Speaker 4: It's great to be widget.

261
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 5: Tim.

262
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 4: We were together pretty recently at a special time with

263
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 4: the President, so it's good Jay.

264
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: I want to talk about our time together in the

265
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: midst of all that is going on. There's a few

266
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: things going on around the globe, and the president has

267
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: the weight of the world literally riding on his shoulders.

268
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: But Gary, he took time out to meet with fate

269
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: leaders and to pray. It was a big deal. Gary,

270
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: you had a chance to address the president personally, share

271
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: a little bit about what you talked with him about

272
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: and your reflections on our time together.

273
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 4: Well, you know, Tim, we all kind of had this

274
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 4: theme that was put on the table a number of

275
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 4: times for the President that he's defending Western civilization, Judeo

276
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 4: Christian civilization.

277
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 5: People.

278
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 4: Lov Hi, it's the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of America,

279
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 4: and I mentioned several times over the time we were

280
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: at the White House that two hundred and fifty years ago,

281
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 4: almost to the day, the Continental Congress passed a resolution,

282
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 4: and the resolution itself was a prayer. It called for

283
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 4: a day of prayer that would happened a couple months later,

284
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 4: but the resolution itself was a prayer, and it prayed

285
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: for the armies of goodness. And I think the President

286
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 4: heard a number of things about that. I can't think

287
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 4: of a better thing for him to hear, because what

288
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 4: our men and women in uniform are doing right now

289
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 4: is just unbelievable, and future generations will benefit from it.

290
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 4: But it's all because we have a commander in chief

291
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 4: that's willing to make big moves for faith, family and

292
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 4: freedom and protecting our country.

293
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: I know our initial conversation with him, he talked about

294
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: Iran and Gary, I want to go there, basically said

295
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: we had no choice. Of course, they were going to

296
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: attack Israel, but within a week there we're going to

297
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: tack to the United States of America. And he was

298
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: making a decision about America first. In other words, this

299
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: was important, and this was calculated, it was measured. They

300
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: debated it back and forth in the cabinet, etc. Gary,

301
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: but he made the call because he felt it was

302
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: the right thing and the necessary thing to do in

303
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: this moment, which, by the way, Gary, he had to

304
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: weigh the costs too, with the election, midterms coming up,

305
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: and everything else. It was all on the table. Yet

306
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: he decided to pull the trigger, so to speak.

307
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 4: You know, Tim, the last thing you just said and

308
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 4: that question may have been the most important thing, because

309
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: we've seen over and over again for a good number

310
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: of years, is one of the reasons I think Americans

311
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 4: have sometimes lost faith in our leadership and where we're

312
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 4: going as a country. We've seen people sitting in the

313
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 4: Oval office with their finger up in the air, trying

314
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 4: to figure out which way the wind's blowing, and instead

315
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 4: of making decisions to protect our country, they're worried about

316
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 4: the next poll and they're thinking, well, maybe I can

317
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 4: let that go for the next president. This president gets

318
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 4: up every day asking himself what he can do to

319
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 4: make a safer, freer, more prosperous. And I know, I

320
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 4: know he gets carped at, but I know he prays

321
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 4: about that and he asks God for the energy and

322
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 4: the strength to continue to do that work.

323
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: Gary, I know in his heart he desires peace.

324
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:23,719
Speaker 4: Uh.

325
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: Operation Epic fury is all about what basically looking at

326
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: this evil regime and saying, stop what you're doing. You're

327
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,719
Speaker 1: not gonna do these things. You're not gonna do it.

328
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: Let me let you know how serious I am. Say uncle,

329
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: say uncle, stop this stuff. Say come to the table

330
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: and say uncle, and then let's go forward. Gary. It's

331
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: unbelievable though, just holding on, you know what I'm saying.

332
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: And hey, they're gonna they've got some serious, serious stuff

333
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: come in their way if they don't get this thing

334
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: dialed in quickly.

335
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 4: You're you're absolutely right, you know. One of the failures

336
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 4: of our media, Among many of those failures, is that

337
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 4: they're not telling the American people or reminding the American

338
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 4: people that we're not fighting the old Persians. We're fighting

339
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 4: a country that's been taken over by radical Shiite Islamists,

340
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 4: and they are the particular group running Iran. Believe that

341
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 4: the twelfth Inman, the Madhi, is going to come out

342
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 4: of a well and a city in Ran, and the

343
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 4: way we will be able to recognize him is that

344
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 4: he will immediately begin to slaughter Christians and Jews, Israel

345
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 4: and Americans right, and they believe they can help him

346
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 4: to arrive earlier than was expected by how they killed

347
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 4: the Infidel. So President Trump doesn't talk about that, but

348
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 4: he understands it. I think our military leaders understand it.

349
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 4: I wish the American media would do their job and

350
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 4: help expel to the American people. You can't let people

351
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 4: that believe that have accessed the weapons of mass destruction

352
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 4: Gary elections.

353
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: You have consequences, period. My goodness, come on, People Save

354
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: America Act. This is a big time issue. I think

355
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm hearing that it might come up before the Senate

356
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: next week. I think Thoon is saying that how important

357
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: is this thing?

358
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 5: Gary?

359
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, the president is I

360
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: mean absolutely, I mean he is banging on the door

361
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: on this thing.

362
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 4: I can't think of anything more important. Because if we

363
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 4: can't make sure that our elections are secure, legitimate, without

364
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 4: any kind of cheating going on, then people loose trust

365
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 4: in the Republic. But also we end up losing elections

366
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 4: to people like this guy down in Texas as well

367
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 4: as in congressional districts around the country. So this has

368
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 4: to be brought up for a vote. But I would

369
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 4: argue that it's got to go further than that. Thoom

370
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 4: I don't know. We'll wait and see toom maybe thinking well,

371
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 4: we're going to have a vote on whether to shut

372
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 4: off debate and that will be the vote on the bill.

373
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 4: Those are two separate things. I really think that Senator

374
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 4: Thoom needs to at the very least, if there's going

375
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 4: to be a filibuster, make it be a filibuster as

376
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 4: it was conceived by the senators that started this tactic

377
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 4: many years ago. That means you got to come to

378
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 4: the floor of the Senate and keep talking. If you

379
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 4: stop talking, then there's a call for a quorum, and

380
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 4: if that call is not handled correctly, then the bill

381
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 4: comes up immediately for a vote. The actual piece of

382
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 4: legislation I won every Senator and every House member on

383
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 4: the record. Do you think that only US citizens should

384
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 4: be allowed to vote? That answer ought to be a

385
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 4: res yes, and anybody that won't do that ought to

386
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 4: be turned out of office.

387
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: Gary. At the end of the day, if you look

388
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: at all of the research on it, the American people

389
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: are with this Save America Act. I mean, how do

390
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: you get eighty eighty five percent of Americans behind something

391
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: and then Congress or whatever the Senate is not going

392
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: with the people. It's it's unbelievable, you know that. Gary.

393
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, we've got to pray

394
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: a butt God peace in here, you know that, and

395
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: we need to do our part. Gary closing thought, what's

396
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: your prayer right now as we look to the summer

397
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: and toward fall.

398
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 4: I would my main prayer, Tim is that the church

399
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 4: discovered discernment. We have got to be Christian citizens, but

400
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 4: we got to be Christian citizens that are serious about

401
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 4: examining things and looking about where people stand and not

402
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 4: fall for the propaganda the you know, million dollar ad buys.

403
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 4: And I'm telling you, all of our brothers, it's just

404
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 4: in Christ out there. If you do that, it's going

405
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 4: to be very clear what you need to do this November.

406
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 4: First of all, you need to show up. If you

407
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 4: don't show up, your place will be taken by people

408
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 4: who want to do things in America completely the opposite

409
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 4: of what you want.

410
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: Well, Gary, Ay, we all can do one thing together,

411
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: and that's what we talked about when we went into

412
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: the Oval office. We can pray and ask the Lord

413
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: of Hosts to guide us and to show himself at

414
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: this hour. So I've got to see you, my friend,

415
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:33,960

00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,560

460

00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 3: for him. The thing I love about this president it's

469
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 3: never scripted, you know. He hasn't had somebody write out

470
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 3: exactly what we're going to do and what he's going

471
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 3: to say. But he is as forward as he is

472
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 3: is Brillon, as he is, as strong opinionated as he is.

473
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 3: He is very very open to those that he really

474
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 3: believes walks with God and really cares for the country,

475
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: and we care for him, We care for his family.

476
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 3: So to be able to be there to pray to

477
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 3: encourage to say way to go, or mister President, how

478
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 3: can we pray? It's just it's a great, great honor,

479
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 3: so to see all those denominations represented from all over

480
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 3: the country, and some of us have been privileged to

481
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 3: be around since even before two sixteen. So it's really

482
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 3: become a band of brothers and sisters, men and women

483
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: of God.

484
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: But it's a highlight, Jay, operation epic fury, the United

485
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: States and Israel together trying to deal with this insanity

486
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: in Iran, praying for the people of Iran to hopefully

487
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: get to a place of freedom, but this evil regime

488
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: over there and the challenge there. One of the things

489
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: the President talked about was they had to do something.

490
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: I know social media is blowing up saying that Israel

491
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: forced the President into this whatever. Nothing could be further

492
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: from the truth. President Donald J. Trump makes his call

493
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: based on what's best for America. At the same time, Jay,

494
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: the operation does have a collaborative effort going on. But

495
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 1: just some thoughts about what's happening there and maybe some

496
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: of your pushback, if you will, on some of the

497
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: social media stuff that's going down.

498
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 3: Well, two things tell them, as you well know, the

499
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 3: President's not pushed very much. You know, he really looks

500
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 3: at the situation and feels strongly. And if he feels strongly,

501
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 3: he gets the best advice he can get. But then

502
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 3: he's very decisive by the way. I don't think he's

503
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 3: going to get pushed around by an ally or a foe,

504
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 3: and especially when it comes to defending our country. And

505
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 3: you know he had taken such a bold step earlier

506
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 3: when they really made an effort to stop all this,

507
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: how close they were to a nuclear weapon. I've been

508
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 3: to Israel one hundred and five times. We were just

509
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 3: there with a thousand pastors. As you know, I'm telling

510
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 3: you the whole region, and I've spent fifty years in Jordan, Egypt,

511
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 3: all over the Middle East. The shadow of Iran, the

512
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 3: e of Iran, is felt by every Arab nation and

513
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 3: certainly by Israel. And make no mistake about it, Iran,

514
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 3: the minute they would have been in a position to

515
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 3: annihilate Israel, they would do it in the blink of

516
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: an eye. And what we need to remember is America

517
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 3: according to Iran, for all these years, when we look

518
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 3: at all the body count of the young men and

519
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 3: young women we've lost because of Iran. But they have

520
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 3: already called it. We're the great Satan and Israel's the

521
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: little Satan. So they had one objective. They felt they

522
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 3: were on a mission to destroy America and destroy Israel.

523
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 3: And we had a president that said, I don't think so,

524
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 3: not on my watch. And I'm so excited, and especially

525
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 3: after we watched Tim all those thousands of of Iranians

526
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 3: who were protesting in the streets, you know, for just

527
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: the basics of life, the essentials of life in a

528
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 3: little bit of freedom, and what did they do. They

529
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 3: killed all their own people. And so it's a butcher

530
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 3: over there. And the president. The first thing that happened

531
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: was all of a sudden, the iatola was gone, you know,

532
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 3: he was given a time out permanently. And it was

533
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: a very decisive action. And I'm thrilled to see the

534
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 3: United States and Israel, two very powerful, the most powerful

535
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 3: forces on the planet, worked together. And it's been measured.

536
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 3: It's been primarily to protect the Iranian people, but deal

537
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 3: with the cancer that is called that radical form of Islam.

538
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: And so I think the president has been anointed. I

539
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 3: think he's been bold, I think he's been decisive. Israel

540
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 3: has been amazing and the United States of America has

541
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 3: shown its power and we're protecting all the Middle East.

542
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: One last thing to him. I just went to an

543
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: event that had some eight or nine Arab ambassadors to America,

544
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 3: and I heard from them firsthand that how grateful they

545
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 3: are in the entire Middle East for the action of

546
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: the United States and what American and Israel are doing.

547
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 3: So this sounds like armageddon to some people, you know,

548
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 3: but it is a preemptive thing, I believe, and I

549
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 3: believe we're very close to something we've all dreamed about,

550
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 3: peace in the Middle East.

551
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: Jay, I want to close this way go back to

552
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: your time in the White House with the President recently

553
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: and a prayer together, a time together reflecting and asking

554
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: God for wisdom, guidance, moral clarity, conviction, favor. This is

555
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: a moment, Jay, And as we look to the midterms,

556
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: we know this all hell if you will will break

557
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: loose and come against anything and everything that smacks of

558
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: righteousness and culture.

559
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: You know, when you look at how careless so many

560
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 3: politicians are being about our whole future, and you look

561
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 3: at how they attack faith, you look at how they

562
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 3: attack the family, You look at how they undermine the president.

563
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 3: I understand there's two parties and then there's independence. That's

564
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 3: one of our strengths, but it's never quite in my life.

565
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 3: I've been in ministry fifty years now, I've never seen

566
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 3: our country like this, and to see so many working

567
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 3: hard against some of the great opportunities and advances we've

568
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 3: made so the future of our children and grandchildren. I'm

569
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 3: not trying to be melodramatic, but I believe this election cycle,

570
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 3: these mid term elections, could be one of the most

571
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 3: important election cycles we've had in my lifetime. So we

572
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 3: have a great We have a president who's strong with

573
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 3: the faith community, Catholic Evangelicals, the Jewish, are Jewish brothers

574
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 3: and sisters here in the United States. He is welcome faith,

575
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 3: people of faith, and he's encouraged us to stay strong.

576
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 3: And when you look at Israel, you look at the

577
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: United States, you look at kind of leadership we have

578
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 3: right now. I believe this is a moment. And remember,

579
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 3: blessed are the peace makers. Peace doesn't just happen. Somebody's

580
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 3: got to pay the price, and I believe we have

581
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 3: the leadership now that's trying to do that. And Tim,

582
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 3: you're very involved. You've been one of the core members

583

Speaker 3: of the Faith Advisory Group, and it's one of the

584
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 3: great honors to be a part of that.

585
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: Well, God be with us, guide us, and we certainly

586
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 1: pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We pray for peace

587

622
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: to go to the White House spend some time with

623
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: the president. Faith leaders coming in in the midst of

624
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 1: everything that's going on. President seemed to be I think

625
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: really encouraged by our time there just some reflections from you.

626
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: You had a moment to speak and say a few words,

627
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: But to the president, what'd you share on your heart

628
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: and what are your thoughts?

629
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 8: You know, Tim, You know, God has given all of

630
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 8: us as Christians the ministry of encouragement, you know, And

631
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 8: that's really what we wanted to do that day in

632
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 8: the Oval office with the President. Sure did we have

633
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 8: a list of things that we wanted to you know,

634
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 8: to talk about, absolutely, but what we really wanted to

635
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 8: do more than anything. Number one on the list was

636
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 8: we wanted to make sure that he knew that we

637
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 8: had his back, that we had his six, that that

638
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 8: that the people of God stand behind him, and what

639
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 8: he's doing with Israel, the Iran war. We just wanted

640
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 8: to let him know that moves that he has made,

641
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 8: even in the immigration side of things, is that you know,

642
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 8: we're behind him, and you know, in a fishbowl that

643
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 8: he's in with turbulent waters, it's good just to have

644
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 8: some people come in not asking for anything, not taking

645
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 8: from him, but simply want to deposit into him.

646
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 7: And that's what we were able to do last.

647
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: Week There's been a lot of kind of stir up

648
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: on social media about Israel and the United States that

649
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 1: somehow they were twisting the president's arm to get involved

650
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: in the war, et cetera. The President made his own decision.

651
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: He calculated everything with his administration, and I know they

652
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: went back and forth, and you know, at the end

653
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: of the day, he's his own man, Todd. In the

654
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: midst of it, Israel has been a strong ally. This

655
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: is a kind of a joint operation and they bring

656
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: a lot to the table in terms of technology, security,

657
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: certainly a spiritual connectedness here. Todd, just some thoughts. You've

658
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: been to Israel a lot, You've been doing a lot

659
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: of humanitarian aid type work there. You understand the trauma

660
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: affiliated with being there. You're talking about a nation that,

661
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: in terms of land size about the size of New Jersey,

662
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: yet like the epicenter of the world. Take us in

663
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 1: and what do you see and what do you hear,

664
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: and just some of your reflections on it all.

665
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 8: You know, there's one of the things that you've said

666
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 8: many times over when you and I have traveled the country,

667
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 8: and that is, you know, relationships are key. When you're

668
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 8: in the foxhol you know, and you just want to

669
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 8: know that there's someone there with you. And that's how

670
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 8: I view the United States as relates to Israel. They're

671
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 8: in the foxhole, you know, three hundred and sixty five

672
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 8: days a year, twenty four hours a day. I mean,

673
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 8: it's it's constant, you know, war at some point in

674
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 8: time on on one or all of seven fronts.

675
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 7: And so you know, they need to know.

676
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 8: That that that America has their back and their best interests. Now,

677
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 8: make no mistake about it. God's going to protect Israel,

678
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 8: you know. But last I checked, Genesis chapter twelve, verse

679
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 8: three is still in the book. And it's so important

680
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 8: for us to be able to, you know, quite frankly,

681
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 8: uh live out that verse as a nation. And God

682
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 8: has blessed us, I believe because of that, and because

683
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 8: I believe of the stance that this president has taken.

684
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 7: But to know that you've got someone like the most

685
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 7: powerful country in the world ever.

686
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 8: That has your your your backside and is flying wing

687
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,959
Speaker 8: to wing with you over the sky's in the Middle

688
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 8: East to to bring peace and also say this tim

689
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 8: you know, and you know we heard the President say

690
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 8: this in the Oval office that you know he listened

691
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 8: to his advisor Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who he

692
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,439
Speaker 8: sent to broker a deal, and they were there too

693
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 8: broke a deal, and they wanted to brok her a

694
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 8: piece deal.

695
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 7: Tim.

696
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 8: Iran was so brazen when they came to the table.

697
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 8: In fact, they were so blatant in their they were

698
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 8: so arrogant. They even shared with Witkough and Kushner how

699
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 8: many kilograms of.

700
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 7: Enriched urduranium?

701
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 4: They have?

702
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 8: Four hundred and sixty kilograms. And understand this from in Tim,

703
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 8: So you wonder why the President acted when he did.

704
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:52,439
Speaker 8: The reality is twenty five kilograms of uranium enriched ninety

705
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 8: percent uranium enriched or uranium is that's weapons grade. Twenty

706
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 8: five can go into a ballistic missile.

707
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 7: So they had enough at sixty percent.

708
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 8: That's not weapons grade yet it's going to get to

709
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 8: ninety percent, but it only takes three to four days

710
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 8: to go from sixty to ninety percent per missile.

711
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 7: I mean.

712
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 8: So when he said he had to act, the reality

713
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 8: is he had to act immediately because they were on

714
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 8: the cusp of getting to ninety percent enrich uranium.

715
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: And you're talking about Iran that they were it was imminent.

716
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: They were going to attack Israel the United States, he said,

717
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: The President said he had to make a move.

718
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, one hundred percent.

719
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 8: You know, they don't have the missiles that could could

720
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 8: go the uh you know, seventy five hundred miles to

721
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 8: the US, but they certainly have the missile capability to

722
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 8: go to.

723
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: How many countries over there in the Middle East.

724
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 8: You've got Guitar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, all of those have

725
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 8: the UAE, all of those military installations, and you know

726
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 8: that they would go after our people.

727
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I stand back and think about elections have consequences.

728
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: You look back at the last administration and what did

729
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: we see transgender ideology being railroaded. We had problems with

730
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: men and women's sports and showing up in girls' bathrooms

731
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: and things like that, Todd. We had the craziness of

732
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: people of faith being targeted by the left. We had

733
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, White House days where there were just godless

734
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: stuff everywhere. And I just think about the American people,

735
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 1: people who have values, people who you know, really are

736
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: committed to religious liberty and freedom to worship God as

737
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: we please and so much more. How in the world

738
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: do people go there no wonder there's such intensity around

739
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: safe and fair elections and the Save America Act becomes

740
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: critical in this hour. Todd, it's like a throwdown, it

741
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: really is. It's like this stuff is not slowing down.

742
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: The concern is battle fatigue. People get tired of all

743
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: of it. They get tired of being up on the

744
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: social media, they get tired of being browbeaten end quote,

745
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: the fake news media and then the progressive right now

746
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: just jumping on the bandwagon and you know, trying again

747
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: to splinter, to create division and chaos. Todd, just some

748
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: closing remarks on in the middle of all that. It's

749
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: some calm in the storm, if you will.

750
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 8: You know, Paul had this admonition for his understudy Timothy,

751
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 8: where he told them to contend for the faith. You know,

752
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 8: it's so important for believers today to stand up, to

753
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 8: take their place and to stand their ground.

754
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 7: You know when when you have.

755
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 8: Under Biden's administration, you had someone leading it that that

756
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 8: had push up bra and now we have someone leading

757
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 8: AHHS that does push ups, you know, I mean, the

758
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 8: difference is just astounding, you know between the two administrations.

759
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 8: And listen, we're not doing this for you or for me.

760
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 8: I'm doing this for my four children, my ten grandchildren.

761
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 8: We're going to be okay, Tim, And this is what

762
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 8: people need to understand. People of faith need to understand

763
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 8: that it's not about you, but it's about your generational legacy.

764
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 8: It's about what you're going to leave behind. And that

765
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 8: causes us. You know, I don't think any of us

766
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 8: like like a fight, but the reality is.

767
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,479
Speaker 7: When you contend for the faith, when you.

768
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 8: Resist the devil, as the Bible tells us to do

769
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 8: in James, then there's going to be there's going to

770
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 8: be some friction and we're going counterculture to the world. So,

771
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 8: dear children of God, keep the faith, stay prayed up,

772
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 8: stay stay r up in the world, and get your

773
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,720
Speaker 8: shoes on, put on your backpack because we've got places

774
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 8: to go.

775
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, Todd Lafeer. Always great to have you, my friend.

776
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:09,759

Speaker 1: I want to say this in closing again, these are

810
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: unprecedented times. They're challenging times, they're confusing times. But I

811
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: know this. Ultimately, God's in control, He's at work. I

812

Speaker 1: hope you're pressing close to Him in his alright. Know

814
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: Our hope, our strength comes from the Lord. Here again

815
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: is an encouraging verse from the Bible to hold on

816
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: to this week, Matthew six thirty three. But seek you

817
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: first the Kingdom of God and all of his righteousness,

818
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: and all these things will be added unto you.

819
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 2: Hope you know.

820
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: Also that you can look to God for wisdom and

821
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,720
Speaker 1: direction in your every day life. But let me also

822
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: say I've learned as a professional counselor that wow, it's

823
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: normal to have some fear, concern, or worry, especially when

824
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: life isn't the way it's supposed to be. If you

825
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: aren't careful, it can begin to consume you. It'll control you.

826
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: For some you even feel like you might have lost hope.

827
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: It can get so dark. Some would even feel like

828
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: life would be better off without them. I say this

829
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: every week. You don't have to live like that. Simply

830
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: taking a step reaching out for help. It's often really

831
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: the gateway to a new day or a new you.

832
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 1: And if you, or so.

833
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 2: Many love, is struggling, reach out for help.

844
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 1: your life. Simply praying a prayer from your heart. That

845
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 1: is something like this. You could repeat it after me.

846
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, I need you. I know I'm a sinner.

847
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: I believe you died for my sins. I want to

848
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: turn from those ways and invite you to come into

849
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 1: my heart and life. I want to trust and follow

850
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: you as my Lord and save you. Thank you for

851
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,240
Speaker 1: loving me, for giving your life for me on the cross.

852
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: Thank you for the gift of grace, for forgiveness, the

853
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: gift of eternal life. I pray all this in Jesus's name.

854
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 5: Amen.

855
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: I believe God heard you prayer. And you know what

856
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: the Bible says in John three point sixteen, for God

857
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,240
Speaker 1: so loved the world that he gave us only begotten

858
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: a son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish,

859
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: but have everlasting life. And in Romans ten to nine,

860
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: it says if you confess with your mouth that Jesus

861
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised

862
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: him from the dead, the Bible says you will be saved.

863
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: Best thing you can do now if you prayed that

864
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: prayer is go serve the Lord for the rest of

865
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: your life. He'll give you the strength to do it.

866
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: Tell someone about the decision you just made. If you're

867
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: struggling with hopelessness, I say, Tim, it's dark, just I

868
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: feel lost and stuck. Pick up the phone, start a

869
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:23,919
Speaker 1: conversation with someone. The suicide hotline out there. It's nine

Speaker 1: other people. If so, I hope you'll consider being a
