Speaker 1: How are you doing? By the way, before we get

17
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: into this, good thirteen years old? Like thirteen years and

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: almost two months? Yeah, just rocking it. Yeah, looking at fourteen,

19
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: you're ready for fourteen?

20
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 2: Not yet?

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, you're just gonna enjoy thirteen as much as

22
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: you can. Have a school going good? Yeah, are you

23
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: been manipulated by the state?

24
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: What?

25
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: That's what? Probably? Now you're in a private school, so

26
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: that's kind of impossible. You like school?

27
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: Not really?

28
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: What's your best subject? What does that mean?

29
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: It's English language art. So it's like reading and writing.

30
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: And stuff you like to read and write. Imagine that

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, Mama has a new book that she finished

32
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: comes out. Do you know when it comes out? Summer

33
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: of next year? Yeah, probably, or like end of next year.

34
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, I read it on the plane the

35
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: other day. Her original manuscript. Has she accid it? Yeah?

36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: Bill, I want to read it when it's all done.

37
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: Okay, it's probably good. First question comes from Riley. Hello,

38
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: mister Smith. My name is Riley. I'm sixteen year old.

39
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm a boy from Cabot, Pennsylvania. Throughout the past few months,

40
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: I've been trying to get closer to God. I was

41
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: really doing good with reading my Bible going to church

42
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: every Sunday. I get busy at work in school and

43
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: had no motivation to go to church or read my Bible.

44
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: Now I've been feeling a lot of sadness and regret

45
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: for doing so, and I'm not sure how to find

46
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: the motivation. Recently, I've had a lot of problems with

47
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: my stepfather. We have arguments every time we talk, and

48
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: it's been very bad recently. It's been like this the

49
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: past few years. I get along great with my father

50
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: and my stepmom. But it's hard with my step father.

51
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: I have prayed a lot for my stepdad, but it

52
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: never seemed to change. Is it possible for someone to

53
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: be so far gone that they can't be saved? I

54
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: know this is a lot. Thank you for your time.

55
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: Please come back to Butler. Pa. Do you kind of

56
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: got Riley's story here? Yeah, it's a tough situation. Do

57
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: you have friends that are in split families like this?

58
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: It's always tough, isn't it to see it? And it

59
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: seems like so many times there is a step one

60
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: of the step mom or stepdad that there's the problem, right. Yeah,

61
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: in this case Riley's case, it's the step dad. So

62
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: do you have any thoughts for Riley? Before? Before I

63
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: jump into his question, I'll let you.

64
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: I'll you go and then I'll go out.

65
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll start at the beginning. He said he's been

66
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: trying to get closer to God. He was doing really well.

67
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: He was reading his Bible, going to church every Sunday,

68
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: and then he got busy at work in school, and

69
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: now he has no motivation to go to church or

70
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: read his Bible. And he's been feeling a lot of

71
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: sadness and regret for doing this. So well, that's like

72
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: the first part of this question. Then the step the

73
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: stepdad's the second part. So what usually happens, and this

74
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: is very normal, Riley. You're going through seasons and there

75
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: are times when we feel very close to God, and

76
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: there's times we feel further away. Sometimes the closest not always,

77
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: but sometimes the closeness with God is through trials are suffering.

78
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: People look back at the time you lost a loved one,

79
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: say you lose a grandparent, and you look back on

80
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: that season and you say, I was really sad that I

81
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: was going through a lot, but I was really close

82
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: to God. My prayers were really intimate, and I was

83
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: constantly thinking about God and constantly crying out to Him.

84
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: And so we see that in the Bible too, that

85
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: people are closer to God and suffering. They're also closer

86
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: in like times like I did a couple weeks ago

87
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: when I went out to the desert and spent five

88
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: days out there, fasting, reading, praying. No one was around,

89
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: so I was intentional about it. So I felt really

90
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: close to God there too. But here's the key feel.

91
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: I felt close to God. I felt close and suffering.

92
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: I felt close in the desert. That's how I feel.

93
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: You think God moves closer or further away from his people, No,

94
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't.

95
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we meet, we moved closer further away.

96
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, our perception of it. We don't really move.

97
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: It's our perception. God's like the island and we're on

98
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: a canoe around the island. I think I've said that

99
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: on this podcast. And so we kind of float around

100
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: the island, and he's the island. He doesn't go anywhere.

101
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: He's always right there, and sometimes we can't see him

102
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: because there's fog, But does that make him not there

103
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: or further away? And sometimes it's a sunny day and

104
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: we're just laying on the beach right there on the island,

105
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: and we feel closer than ever, But that doesn't make

106
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: him any further away when we're in the fog. So

107
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: a lot of times it's just it's about how we feel.

108
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 1: And that's what's going on with Riley, except for here's

109
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: and then he adds another thing. He's also not reading

110
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: his Bible and going to church every Sunday. So that's

111
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: another thing. Reading your Bible and going to church every

112
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: Sunday doesn't bring God in closer to you. It's the island, remember,

113
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: but it does create fog if you're not there, because

114
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: you're not around His people. And so many times we

115
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: see God and we feel his presence, and through the

116
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: gifts of his people, he's acting with human agency. That

117
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: means God uses people many times to give his blessings,

118
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: or to give his wisdom, or to give his warnings

119
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: or his encouragement. He uses people. Hey, I don't think

120
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: I don't think you should be doing that. That could

121
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: be Godly wisdom coming through one of his people to you.

122
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: Happens all the time in the Bible. Or I just

123
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: want to tell you what a joy it is to

124
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: be around you. You're so encouraging to me. That could

125
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: be a godly wisdom coming, Godly encouragement coming from one

126
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: of his people to you. And if you're away from

127
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: His people, specifically the church, the gathering of people. By

128
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: the way, that's what that word church means. Ecclesia, that

129
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: means the gathering. The word church and so many times

130
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: I say it on this podcast doesn't mean a building.

131
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: Do you know at a maus where we go to church.

132
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: You know what they say at the beginning when we

133
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: get there, they say, welcome to this gathering of a

134
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: mais church. Yeah, so it's not welcome to the church,

135
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: thanks for walking into the church. It's welcome to this,

136
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: to today's gathering of us, our body, the body of Christ.

137
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: So when you're away from that, you're like a little

138
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: sheep out on a hillside, away from the flock and

139
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: away from the shepherd, and you're hungry, you're lonely, you

140
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: could be sick, you could be in trouble, and the

141
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: flock doesn't know, and the shepherd's not there. The shepherd

142
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: meaning pastor, that's what that word means. Pastor means shepherd, right,

143
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: So you don't have a shepherd, a pastor. I'm talking

144
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: about lowercase B, not our lowercase s. Lowercase shepherd, not

145
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: the shepherd. But you're the human pastor. That's part of

146
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: your gathering in the flock. When you're away from that,

147
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: you are you're lost sheep. And then he says he's

148
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: also not been reading his Bible. The Bible is a

149
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: word of God, that is God speaking. When you disconnect

150
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: that once again, the island doesn't move away. But now

151
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: the fog is thick. You can't hear him. You don't

152
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: know what he's saying. And so that's exactly why he

153
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: feels sad. He feels like he's further away talking about

154
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: Riley here. So this is interesting to think about, what

155
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: why why is Riley not finding motivation? He knows that

156
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: I'm going to say this on the podcast. He knows

157
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: that I would say, Riley, you got to be reading

158
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: your Bible. You've got to be gathering with the body,

159
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: which is the Church. You need to be with him

160
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday, you need to be with him during the

161
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: week too. He knows I'm going to say that, But

162
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: yet he says, I don't have motivation. Why does he

163
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: not have motivation?

164
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: I've heard some people say that, like sometimes going to

165
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: church feels more like a chore than something that like

166
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 2: you want to do. And and also, since he knows

167
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: that this is going to be on the podcast, a

168
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: lot of people, if he's talked to other people about it,

169
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: will probably have told him, like, just go read your Bible,

170
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: It'll be good for you, like all that stuff. But

171
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: I know going to school is good for me, but

172
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: I don't want to do it.

173
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,599
Speaker 1: Well, there's a key there's a key sentence that he

174
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: said right here, and you kind of hinted at it.

175
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: He says, I got busy at work in school and

176
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: had no motivation to go to church or read my Bible.

177
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: So there's a cause and an effect. The cause is

178
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: I got busy at work in school. The effect now

179
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm not motivated to go to church or read my Bible.

180
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: So that was the cause. The cause is getting busy

181
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: with the world. And so what's happening. And the reason

182
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: he has no motivation is because he's now he's in

183
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: a crowd of people, and this is this is speaking

184
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: to everyone. He's in a crowd and everyone is shouting.

185
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: Imagine you and I we go to a train station, Nah,

186
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: there's not one in Austin an airport. We go to

187
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: an airport and it's time to fly, and you there

188
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: is a There is hundreds of hundreds of people in

189
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: this terminal, and you don't know where I am, and

190
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: I don't know where you are. Let's let's let's say

191
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: that again. You don't know where I am, but I

192
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: know where you are. Let's put it in the perspective

193
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: of God. I know where you are, you don't know

194
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: where I am, and I call it to you. I

195
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: say London, and everyone's talking, everyone's talking, talking, talk, and

196
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: here you don't know, you can't here. It's distracting. I say, London,

197
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: you can't hear. That's this is where Riley is right now.

198
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: There are too many voices in the world speaking, and

199
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: sometimes you have to shut the voices off. And when

200
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: you get to a place where you say, I have

201
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: no motivation, I am saddened by this. I don't want

202
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: to go to church. I don't want to read my Bible.

203
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: You should go. Why I what do I have right

204
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: now in the world. That's an extra voice that I

205
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: need to stop. I need to stop. And I promise

206
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: you it's not work in school. There's more. There's more

207
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: stuff if it's not just work in school, because everyone

208
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: needs to work and every kid needs to go to school.

209
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: So we're not saying rather you should skip school or

210
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: you should not work. We're saying everyone, me included. Everyone

211
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: has a job and they work and they find time.

212
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: So there's other voices coming in. It's the in between stuff.

213
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: It's the shows he's watching, the songs he's listening to.

214
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: It's the text that he's sending, it's the things he's

215
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: looking up. These are these extra voices. So now let's

216
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: get to the second part of the question. And he's

217
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: having trouble now. He said, life is coming at him hard.

218
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: He's on the island in a canoe. The waves are crashing,

219
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: and he's it's completely foggy, you can't see the island.

220
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: And when that's going on, now he's has this stepfather problem.

221
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: And the stepfather comes in and and and Riley's thinking,

222
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: is it possible for someone? He says, is it possible

223
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: for someone to be too far gone to be saved?

224
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 2: How do you answer Riley on that too far gone

225
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: to be saved?

226
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: Or could any human be too far gone to be saved? No?

227
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: But because that would just mean if you put it

228
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: like how you're saying the island, that would just mean

229
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: you're boat's drifting away, but you can drive it back.

230
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: Like okay, if Paul he was soul before and he

231
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: was killing Christians and that's a terrible thing. And then

232
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 2: God came to him and he was like, how many

233
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: books in the wild did he write?

234
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: Thirteen? About three fourths of the New Testament. So I

235
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: don't know if it is thirteen. I don't I'm not

236
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: exactly sure. Maybe you know that.

237
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: I think it is so I don't think anyone can

238
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: be too far.

239
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: Pause, pause what you said? Go back to the story.

240
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: You said, Saul was killing Christians. Okay, then then start.

241
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: Again, Saul was killing Christians.

242
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: What do you mean, repeat what you said earlier? I

243
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: want to I want to make you repeat what you

244
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: said earlier.

245
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: Saul was killing Christians and then God came to him.

246
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: And you see what happened? What Saul was doing that?

247
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: And then what God came to him?

248
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, what did what did Saul do in that scenario? Nothing?

249
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: God came to him. So the answer is no, no

250
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: one could be too far gone. No one could be

251
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: too far gone. So it doesn't matter if you're if

252
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: you're a murderer, a blasphemer, whatever you've done in your life,

253
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: no one could be too far gone. Now, it's it's

254
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: a human responsibility to avoid hardening of the heart, because

255
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: because not believing always comes from as a result of

256
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: hardening of the heart. And so you can go further

257
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: and further, and God gives you up to your passions.

258
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: The Book of Roman says, who's another Paul letter? God

259
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: gives you up to your passions. So we want to

260
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: avoid at all costs being given up to our passions.

261
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: So we stop, we repent. We believe in Gospel. We

262
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: believe that Jesus died for sins, and we trust Him

263
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: for the total forgiveness of our sins, and we're saved

264
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: by grace through faith. This is not anything that we've

265
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: done right, and so we don't want to be hardened

266
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: in that way. But at the end of the day,

267
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: God is sovereign, and like you said, said, God came

268
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: to him, so no, no one could be too far gone.

269
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: I think that's it. I think that's a pretty good

270
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: I think that's it for Riley Go. Another one said

271
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: another one subject heartbreak, Hey Granger, how do you prepare

272
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: for a heartbreak? A person just gave me a sign

273
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: that could be bad, also could be nothing. I'm not

274
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: trying to expect bad, but trying to prepare, asking myself

275
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: how could I say what the person meant to me

276
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: without breaking down? How I'd leave on happy terms. I've

277
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: been praying every day to God, over fully trusting in

278
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: his plan, giving him full control, and knowing everything is

279
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: for the greater good. I've been diving into the word

280
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: in my community. I'm struggling. I'm in the cab of

281
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: a truck. Give it to me straight. I appreciate all

282
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: you do. This comes from d Oregon, twenty three years old.

283
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: You understand the question I think I do. I think

284
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: I do. I think too.

285
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: I just don't know what they said, so it's kind

286
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: of hard.

287
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: It's a girl, right, yeah, Okay, what's the name D.

288
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: It's just like a nickname. Oh, I honestly don't know.

289
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: Let's just say it's a girl just for the sake

290
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: of conversation. Okay, So it's a girl, and I believe

291
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: she is preparing for a heartbreak because her boyfriend gave

292
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: a sign something, maybe said something, did something, didn't do something,

293
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: and D is overthinking it and thinking this could be

294
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: really bad or it could be nothing. But then that

295
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: makes D kind of look at herself and think maybe

296
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: I should prepare for the worst. And I don't think

297
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: I could think about this person without breaking down. I'd loved.

298
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: I don't know how i'd leave on happy terms. And

299
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: then I'm praying to God that I would be fully

300
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: trusting in his plan. It sounds like he's a worrier

301
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: a little bit, and it sounds like the way that

302
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: this is worded. I don't know a lot about it.

303
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: So we're in the cab of the truck. I need

304
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: to ask more questions. But I think this boyfriend has

305
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: started to become an idol to D. There's a worship

306
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: element here. I don't know how I could talk about

307
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: this person without breaking down. I don't know how I

308
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: could be happy. Really, it's what D's saying, I don't

309
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: know how it could be happy away from this person.

310
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: And then the very next sentence, I've been praying every

311
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: day to God over fully, trusting in his plan, giving

312
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: him full control. First of all, the God already has

313
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: full control. That's an interesting thing to think about. It's like,

314
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: I want to give God full control. God's like, oh,

315
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 1: did you think you had any Did you think you

316
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: had You thought you had controlled that you were going

317
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: to give to me. I am God. We could read

318
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: this in the Book of Job. Read the back half

319
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: of the Book of Job. If anyone's wondering about this.

320
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: God is certainly in full control and doesn't need us

321
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: to give him any We don't have any and and

322
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: so it's his world we're living in it. He's got

323
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: the whole world in his hands. And he is not

324
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: in our hands at all. D. A. Carson has written

325
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: a lot about this. J. I. Packer has written a

326
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: book called Knowing God that's just fantastic, but understanding who

327
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: God is. God doesn't need any more control. He already

328
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: has it all. So what what you mean? And I

329
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: think D what you what you're saying is you're wanting

330
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: to submit to his full control. Surrender maybe is the

331
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: word to his full control. So what does D do?

332
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: We think the boyfriend's an idol struggling with trusting God?

333
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: What does D do?

334
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 2: Does it in the Bible say you can't have two idols? Yeah,

335
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 2: maybe talk to the boyfriend.

336
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: I think that's a great idea.

337
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: Just like just sort of ask them what's going on

338
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: or if they meant what they said, and just tell

339
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 2: them how you feel. And if they don't, if they

340
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 2: don't like understand or if they don't yeah, I guess understand, then.

341
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: I think that's a really good idea. Honesty, vulnerability, just

342
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: open up, just say hey, I think I got a

343
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: bad sign. It could be nothing, but did you mean this?

344
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: And is this where this is going? And if the

345
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: boyfriends may give them a chance to say, yeah, that

346
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: was and then okay, well then I'm gonna I'm gonna

347
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: move on. The's asking how do you prepare for a heartbreak?

348
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: You prepare for a heartbreak outside of marriage by not

349
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: fully giving your heart, protecting your heart, protect your heart,

350
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: d protect your heart at all costs. Protect it. How

351
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: do you protect it? By not going too far? And

352
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: so many different things emotionally, spiritually, physically, don't go too far,

353
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: guard your heart, have tough conversations. So you know, I

354
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: really like you, but this is I'm going to guard

355
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: my heart in this situation. Don't go ahead.

356
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 2: Sorry, I was thinking. This is actually happened to me

357
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: before with a friend. And you don't have to give

358
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 2: them one hundred percent, and you don't have to make

359
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 2: them your number one because they'll take advantage of it.

360
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: First of all, because you can't give they can't be

361
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: number one. Yeah, that's God. And second of all, you

362
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: can't give them one hundred percent because you're not married.

363
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

364
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: A lot of times people approach me wanting to start

365
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: their own business and they ask about EE Apparel, and

366
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: they ask about the e commerce side of things and

367
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: the website and how we do that, and I usually

368
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: say it was very difficult. Before we used Shopify, Me

369
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: and my brothers said, eee, there was a time when

370
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: we had to build all that stuff ourselves with web

371
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: designers so that you could go in and enter your

372
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: credit card number and have a checkout place and add

373
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: to KRT and all that stuff. We build it from scratch.

374
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: It was difficult because there was always something wrong with it,

375
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: or someone would have a problem, or their shopping cart

376
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: wasn't working, or it didn't take their credit card or

377
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: their address right, and we had to focus on that

378
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: instead of the creative side. Now that doesn't happen anymore.

379
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: We get to focus all on the creative side because

380
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: we use Shopify. And it's not just us. Thousands of

381

388
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: It's Riley, but this is a different Riley. This is

389
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: our y L e Y Riley from Montana sixteen years old,

390
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: and Riley says, my question is how do I commit

391
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: to Christ? Because I can't seem to do it? Also,

392
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: how do I cut all the things that I find

393
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: important that truly aren't important in the grand scheme of things?

394
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate it? Riley, that's a good, honest question for

395
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: Riley from Montana. Where was the other Riley from do

396
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: you remember Oregon? No? That was d do I don't know.

397
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: This is the second Riley on the podcast. So do

398
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: you have an answer? How do you commit to Christ?

399
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: Because I'm trying so hard and I can't do it?

400
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: You start, Okay, Yeah, let me start with the back

401
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: half of the question. How do I cut all out

402
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: all the things that I find important that truly aren't important.

403
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: I think I think what you're saying, Riley is I've

404
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of stuff going on. I've got a

405
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: lot of distractions. I got a lot of shiny things

406
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: that I'm chasing, and I want to and I want

407
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: to embrace the truth of the Gospel fully fully surrendered

408
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: to Christ. I think that's what you're saying. And we

409
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: have to be careful sometimes to get rid of the

410
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: idea that it's up to us to give a certain

411
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: percentage of ourselves to Christ. When Jesus says I want

412
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: all of you, and we can't let it become a

413
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: work that we work to give him all of us,

414
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: because it's a surrender as it's the opposite of working,

415
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 1: it's releasing. Right. So instead of how can I do

416
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: more things? How can I read my Bible enough times

417
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: or show up show up at church enough times to

418
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: be fully committed, I want to be all in. Instead,

419
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit works through us when we release everything,

420
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: and then the Holy Spirit fills us with the desire

421
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: to read the Bible, fills us with the desire to

422
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: have a meaningful relationship with the Church. It fills us

423
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: with the desire to repent or turn away from our sin.

424
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: And this is a lot for sixteen years old, but

425
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: you're thirteen and so we could talk about it in

426
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: this asp. Typically, when I see something like this, how

427
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: do I commit to Christ? But I can't do it?

428
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: I say, you can't do it. That's why Jesus did it.

429
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: Christianity is not about doing. It's about It's not about

430
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: what we do, it's about what Christ did. So once

431
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: we once we understand once we have a right understanding

432
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: of God incarnate, the son of God incarnate, God became flesh,

433
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: the outward working of his word. When when God speaks

434
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: creation into existence, he speaks with a word. And in

435
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: John One, John says, in the beginning was the word,

436
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: and the word was with God, and the word was God.

437
00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: The word became flesh. John says, So Jesus is the

438
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: outward working of God himself, the triune God. Yahweh's the

439
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: it's the outward working of God. Is Jesus came to

440
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: earth as a baby. That idea we're closing in on

441
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: Christmas time right now. I will never fully unpack God incarnate,

442
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: God Emmanuel with us. God entered his own creation. And

443
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: how did he do it? As a king as we

444
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: know kings, no a baby and a manger, son of

445
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: a carpenter, earthly son. He spoke a God that speaks

446
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: life into existence, spoke with a a northern accent, Northern

447
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: Judean accent. That just doesn't It's like would be like

448
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: it would be like a world leader with a Georgia accent.

449
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: It's like hard to it's hard for anyone to take

450
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: that seriously. And they were like from Nazareth. I hear

451
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: the way you guys talk, Man, you are from Nazareth.

452
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: That would be like, where are you all from Georgia?

453
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: Or it's hard to take you seriously. So everything that

454
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: happened in the incarnation, meaning God became flesh was it

455
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: came in it in a form of humility, like it's

456
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: not about what you think it's about. So God comes

457
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: in the flesh, and he lives a perfect life, sinless,

458
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: sinless life. He goes to the cross and dies on

459
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: the cross, taking on sins of the world, taking on

460
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: the sins on his own body. And here's the This

461
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: is called the Great Exchange. He takes your sin on

462
00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: his body on the cross, and you get you take

463
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: his righteousness, you guys exchange. God in the Sun, in

464
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: the person of the Sun, gives you, gives you his righteousness,

465
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: and you give him your sin. And he takes your sin,

466
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: and he says, I will remember it no more. He

467
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: becomes the sacrifice, that the sacrificial lamb, the perfect, spotless

468
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: lamb for all time. He takes it on himself and

469
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: he says, I give you my righteousness. So now when

470
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: God sees you, you're already you were imperfect. You're flawed

471
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: in every way, sinful, rebellious. And now God looks at

472
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: you and goes, I see perfect righteousness, not because you

473
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: did it, not because you're trying to commit it to it,

474
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: but because He did it on the cross and gave

475
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: it to you. That is unbelievable. That's the gospel. And

476
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: to embrace that. We believe with faith that that's what

477
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: He did for us, and we trust that our sins

478
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: are forgiven. And then the last part we repent, we

479
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: turn away from Why would we live in a sin?

480
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: Why would we live in any kind of sin knowing

481
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: that Jesus took it on his own body. Why would

482
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: we do that? We wouldn't. We said, I don't want

483
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: that anymore. I don't want the sin that that was

484
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: taken onto the body of my Lord. I don't want

485
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to be you know, I don't want

486
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: any part of that anymore. That's the great exchange. It's

487
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: called imputed righteousness. Now that's a big word. Have you

488
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: heard that word imputed? His righteousness was imputed to you.

489
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: This is this is the breakthrough that Martin Luther had.

490
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: You know, Martin Luther, you studied Martin Luther. This is

491
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: the breakthrough he had. He understood it was by faith.

492
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: It was it was a gift through faith. It was

493
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: not his righteousness. He couldn't do it. He couldn't be

494
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: good enough for God, he couldn't be good enough for Heaven. Instead,

495
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: it was a gift from Jesus on the cross for

496
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: those who believe. So, Riley, if that takes root in

497
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: your heart, if that gospel message takes a hold of you,

498
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: and you could be like the thief on the cross

499
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: next to Jesus and say, will you remember me when

500
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: you go into your kingdom? And Jesus looked and said,

501
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: today you will be with me in Paradise. It's like

502
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: the old thing where that Alister Begg said, one of

503
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: my favorite pastors, he did this thing and went viral.

504
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: But he said he did this thing about the man

505
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: on the middle cross. Have you heard that the man

506
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: on the middle Cross. It's basically, you get to heaven

507
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: and imagine this hypothetical situation and there's the Angel at

508
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: the gates of heaven and you show up and he says,

509
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: why should I let you in? And you say, it

510
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: wasn't anything I've done, and the Angel says, do you

511
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: know the doctrine of atonement, No, sir. Do you know

512
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: the doctrine of election? No, sir. Do you know the

513
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: doctrine of whatever could be anything? No? Sir? Then why

514
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: are you here talking to the thief on the cross,

515
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: the man on the middle cross that I could come?

516
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: That's it. That's the gospel. The man on the middle

517
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: cross so that I can come. He invited me, and

518
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: the Angel says, come into paradise. That's faith, belief, repentance,

519
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: all of it put into one. And Riley, that's you.

520
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: How do I commit to Christ because I can't see

521
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: him to do it? Stop doing it? Jesus already did it.

522
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: Tyler has the next one. Tyler Cape says, Hey, mister Granger,

523
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: I love your podcast. I'm sixteen years old. What is

524
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: the deal? Oh my goodness, just because you're here, that's crazy.

525
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: I didn't plan this. I love your podcast. I'm sixteen

526
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: years old. I'm trying to figure out how to date

527
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,479
Speaker 1: the right way. Could you talk about this on one

528
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: of your podcasts please? I am a leader at my

529
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: school high school FCA, and we absolutely would love it

530
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: if you come speak at one of our devotions. I

531
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: understand you're very busy, but I just thought i'd ask,

532
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: thanks so much. Tyler Cape trying to figure out how

533
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: to date the right way? Can you help him? How

534
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: do you date the right way?

535
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: I have no idea because I have no experience, but

536
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: I would say give God one hundred percent first, like you,

537
00:33:52,160 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 2: like we were saying, find a godly woman, and.

538
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good start. It's a good start. I

539
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: think how they're finding finding a girl that loves Jesus.

540
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: First of all, I think sixteen is too young to date.

541
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: So we'll just say that likes nothing to do. You

542
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: have nothing, no business dating at sixteen, there's nothing good

543
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: to do. I didn't say. I didn't say you can't

544
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: like a girl. It's like for you, I'm not going

545
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: to say you can't like a boy. How that's impossible.

546
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: That's like saying you can't breathe air until you're eighteen.

547
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: Don't breathe air, London. It is impossible. You might, I

548
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: don't know. Hopefully it'd be a while, but you might

549
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: one day start liking a boy and I would never

550
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: tell you can't like him. But dating is different. Dating

551
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: is the is action. It's planning it's it's going, it's

552
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: going steady exclusively. It's all that stuff that's that's unnecessary.

553
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: It seems to necessary, but it's not. And the more

554
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: you do it, the more it is necessary, because you

555
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: start to get attached. At the very beginning, it's like,

556
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think we're going to date yet.

557
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: I really like you, but I'm not going to take

558
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: that next step into dating until you do that. Whenever

559
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: you actually start dating, then you get addicted to it,

560
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: and then you need it, and then one day it

561
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: leads to two and three and ten fifty, and then

562
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: months go by and you you need it. But right

563
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: now you just say, hey, I'm gonna I'm not going

564
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: to date. And then if you're saying how do I

565
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: date the right way, eventually you're going to find a

566
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: girl that loves Jesus and you're going to date with

567
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: the intention to marry. Not casual dating, not sport dating,

568
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: not dating because you're trying to learn about yourself or

569
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: about the other person. You're dating with the intention to marry.

570
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: If you're not ready to marry, don't start dating.

571
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 2: Not dating just to say you're.

572
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: Dating, especially that right you know that, Yeah, So there are.

573
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: It's pretty distinct. You say, you know, I'm in a

574
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: position to get married. Like Brianna was pretty young, your friend,

575
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: my friend, and they're families, dear friends of ours, both

576
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: sides of the family, both you know, husband and wife.

577
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: They got married. She's super young, eighteen now super young.

578
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: But they were they were dating with the intention to marry.

579
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: They weren't like, hey, let's just see how this goes

580
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 1: for a while.

581
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 2: They always talked about getting married.

582
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, with dating with the intention to marry. So I think, Tyler,

583
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: I would think, if you can get those things right, wait,

584
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: find a girl that loves Jesus and dated with the

585
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 1: intention to marry her. That would be the right way.

586
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: And you save yourself physically completely until marriage. That's the

587
00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: right way. I had another one. Okay, this is interesting.

588
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: The subject says no desire for marriage, dear granger. When

589
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: I was in college, my parents got divorced and it

590
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: was not a clean breakup. It took years and it

591
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: made me and my three siblings miserable. My last relationship

592
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 1: was when I was in college, and it was terrible

593
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: to me, emotionally abusive and controlling. I've developed a misindependent

594
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: lifestyle I take myself on dates, I go to church alone.

595
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 1: I enjoy doing what I can when I want. Between

596
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: a negative example of a marriage and being single for

597
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: almost ten years now, how could I have any desire

598
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: to get married. I'm also twenty nine, and so my

599
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: time is running out, thanks Courtney. First of all, Courtney,

600
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: twenty nine.

601
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 2: Is not two times not running.

602
00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: Your time's not running out. So there's that. But there's

603
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: this idea that you know, all your friends are now

604
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: married and you got little baby, they all have babies,

605
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 1: and because they got married at twenty five, twenty six

606
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: and you're twenty nine, you're like, this is way too late.

607
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: So it's not the the negative example of marriage and

608
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 1: your family. You're gonna have to beat that. That's there's

609
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: no there's no other way to say it. Besides, you're

610
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to break that generational curse. You're gonna have

611
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: to say that happened to me, but it's not happening

612
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: to me currently, and I will break that curse and

613
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen to me. I'm gonna date to

614
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: to I'm gonna date to marry, and I'm gonna marry

615
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: for life and until death do us part and sickness

616
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: and health. That's that's the way that the old Anglican

617
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: Prayer Book said, and that's the way I'm gonna do

618
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: it till till death do us part and make that decision.

619
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: And today in this world, we don't make decisions like that.

620
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: We base our we base marriage, like anything else, on

621
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: what makes us happy. I'm going to marry until it

622
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: doesn't make me happy anymore. Then I'm gonna get out.

623
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: And no one says that in a vow.

624
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 2: No one says un till I don't feel like it anymore.

625
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: Doing this part, Yeah, till I don't feel like it anymore,

626
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: till you stop making me happy anymore, and then we

627
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: might get a divorce. No one says that in the

628
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: wedding vow. But that's what they do. That's how people

629
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 1: live their lives. They live their lives with what makes

630
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: them happy, and marriage is no different. And so misindependent Courtney,

631
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to understand that that when it comes

632
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: to dating to marry, and when you finally do get married,

633
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: and I think you probably will, then it's for life

634
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: and you're not gonna You're not get a divorce like

635
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: your parents did. How do you do that. You make

636
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: a decision that even through tough times, through rough arguments,

637
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: through financial problems, through sickness, through any amount of problems,

638
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: you're going to stick it out and you're going to

639
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: find somebody that agrees and goes, yeah, we're gonna stick

640
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: it out together. It's not always going to be easy.

641
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes its gonna be tough. Sometimes I'm going to be

642
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: really mad at you, but we're going to stick it out.

643
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: Because marriage is for life. That's the way God intended,

644
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: and marriage is sacred. That's what God intended. And marriage

645
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: is a government covenant under God. That's what he intended.

646
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: That's a sacred covenant. So we don't break it. So

647
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: you make that kind of decision, Courtney, that's something. If

648
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: you figure that out, now, that's great. You don't meet,

649
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: you don't meet somebody, and then later decide that's maybe

650
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: something that you want to do. You go, I'm not

651
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: going to even date at twenty nine until I find

652
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: somebody where I go I would make this kind of

653
00:40:55,040 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: commitment to them for life. And then you also decide

654
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: that maybe if I don't find that someone, I just

655
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: won't get married. I don't think that's gonna happen, But

656
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: you go, I would be fine if I don't get

657
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: married instead of getting in something without making a full commitment.

658
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: Now take what I just said lightly, because, like I said,

659
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: I think you will, and I think there's something at

660
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: some level you need to step into the world and

661
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: find a husband. Thin You got to make yourself available.

662
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm not saying go hide in the corner and disappear.

663
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: So what do you say to miss independent?

664
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 2: Miss independent?

665
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,720
Speaker 1: She goes to church alone, she takes herself on dates.

666
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 2: I think that's good, and I think that you just

667
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 2: need to wait and be patient because God has a

668
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 2: plan in his His plan is perfect for you and

669
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 2: just how he intended it to be, and he's going

670
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 2: to bring that guy along. He's going to bring that

671
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 2: lucky guy along, and y'all will get married in his time.

672
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: Perfect well said. And I think Courtney, to wrap this up,

673
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: you say, you say, basically you're saying I don't have

674
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: a desire to get married. That's basically what you're saying

675
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: at the end, I don't have a desire to get married.

676
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: And I say, why would you. You haven't met him yet,

677
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: But when you meet him, you'll go, oh, that's funny.

678
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: I suddenly have a desire to get married because you

679
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: met the one that you desire to marry. I think

680
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: it's as easy as that. So to not have a

681
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: desire before you've met him. I think that's totally normal.

682
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: Your history being single for ten years change the generational curse.

683
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: And if you find a guy for the right reasons

684
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: and make that commitment, that desire will create itself and

685
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: you will desire to get married. Thank you for being here. Yeah,

686
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna go. Of course, we're gonna go eat dinner,

00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,719
