1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: What's up. I'm Granger Smith, I.

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 2: Mean man, I'm Tyler and I'm.

3
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Parker and this is the ninety nine for one podcast

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: where our goal is to seek the one and equip

5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: the ninety nine to do the same Episode one. Oh no,

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: we did pretty good going around the circle and introducing ourselves.

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: We're off to a pretty good start. Admittedly it took

8
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: us two times. We had to go around and learn

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: that we're going clockwise, but this is what we're gonna

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: do every episode, so this is cool. We prayed right

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: before we started, recognizing that because this is episode one,

12
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: potentially a lot of people will go backwards in time

13
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: and from the future and go back to hear what

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: where it all started in episode one, which makes this

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: one extra special. I do that, at least I go backwards.

16
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: Do you guys do that?

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 3: If it's really good, I will like if especially if

18
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 3: well and it's more of the ones that have stories

19
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: in them, and go oh, I need to go back

20
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: and listen.

21
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: To the podcasts with YouTube channels definitely well with podcasts.

22
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: It's like with podcasts, I want the most recent, up

23
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: to date, you know, yeah, episode because it's topical for instance,

24
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: like investing our real estate stuff. It's like what they're

25
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 2: talking about three years ago doesn't apply today. Try to

26
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 2: avoid that because it's a completely different market and cycle. Now.

27
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: You couldn't pull like you go back and listen to

28
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: a few old ones to pull some nuggets out of it.

29
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: No, it's just not worth my time. That's personal. But

30
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: with YouTube, yeah, it's always fun to go see where

31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: did mister B start, Like, I want to see what

32
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 2: he looked like and what he was talking about.

33
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: Then.

34
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting because this is actually the combination of

35
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: two different podcasts, the Granger Smith podcast. So it's what

36
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean is it's not essentially brand new the Granger

37
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: Smith podcast that I've done for for many years, and

38
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: then the EEE podcast which we did together as brothers,

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: and those two we have dissolved those two and combined

40
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: them into what is now this ninety nine for one podcast.

41
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you were doing the ee podcast where they're

42
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 3: conversations there with the three of you going what if

43
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: you guys what we just did this all together all

44
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: the time.

45
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, so unlike real estate podcast, hopefully we're going to

46
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: be speaking gospel truth every episode and that will never expire. Okay,

47
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: So let's go around and introduce you guys, and we'll

48
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: start with you a man. As long as we've done

49
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: this podcast together, the Grander Smith Podcast together, and after midnight,

50
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: people will still comment on YouTube on the Granger Smith

51
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: podcast and say, who is that guy? Who's that man?

52
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: Who's your guest? I should say so.

53
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: I'm Anthony, Yeah exactly, I'm Anthony Lay. And a long

54
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: time ago, a guy in radio that I was working

55
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 3: with just started calling me ant Man. And it was

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: long before ant Man or aunt Man and Wasp or

57
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: any of the Marvel stuff came out. There may be

58
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: a comic book and I had never heard of it,

59
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 3: but he started calling me ant Man and that's pretty

60
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: much just stuck.

61
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: Then.

62
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 3: That's been almost thirty years ago, so it's almost just become.

63
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: And you're part of the Freedom Lay Empire.

64
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,160

65
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,320

87
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: Man, the best way to sum it up is, honestly

88
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: is like, I'm just a child of God. That's the

89
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: most important and that's the only like we could all

00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: sit here for like who I was, what I did,

91
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,720

92
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,360

97
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: on Instagram and TikTok, it's been super encouraging for me.

98
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,600

Speaker 1: Gives really good relationship advice. Hopefully we're gonna get some

101
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: of that advice right here on this on this podcast

102

Speaker 1: in the future. Relationship advice from you godly relationship advice.

103
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: It became that just because that's what went viral people

104
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: the most views, I was like, I guess this is

105
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 2: the lane that I'll because it really apparently was helping

106
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: people and like really really help open people. So I

107
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: was like, man, if this is what the Lord wants

108
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: me to just keep talking on. Yeah, you know. I

109
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: never was like the great consistency though, Yeah, that's the key, man.

110
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: It's really really good.

111
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: Is consistency with anything you do?

112
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: How many of those do you knock at it one time?

113
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: Man? I knocked out twelve last week, which is the

114
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: most I've ever done, So I'm good for two weeks.

115
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: But uh, typically I like to get like at least five,

116
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: so I'm good for the week and actually change. It's

117
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: funny because I check the wind every day, like the

118
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: week of like what that is, and so today's day

119
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: because it's like gust is five, but the wind miles

120
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: per hour is two this evening, so I'm like, oh,

121
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: I gotta knock them out.

122
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: So when you're filming this godly biblical relationship advice and

123
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: the sun is setting beautifully behind you, do you ever

124
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: feel the pressure of like, I gotta hurry up and

125
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: film this, like the sun is perfect in the sky

126
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: right now. I gotta film this right now.

127
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 4: No.

128
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: I did at the beginning, but these no, no, now

129
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: it's just the wind. And then in the editing and

130
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: stuff when you do it, you can like adjust the

131
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: contrast or the saturation or whatever, and like Brian has

132
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: kind of helped me out a little.

133
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: Bit with that, So okay, And then we have a

134
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: megastar with us as one of the hosts of this podcast.

135
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 5: Parker Smith. I'm the youngest of the Smith brothers, and

136
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 5: I run EE Apparel and the EE Life YouTube channel.

137
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: Did you go through his agent get this all set up?

138
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 2: His agent is right here in the blue shirt. You

139
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: know what's funny about Parker, and I'll let him speak.

140
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: He didn't like speaking for him, so and that's been

141
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: my job, my job for so long to pump you

142
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: up and now to pump him up. But for so

143
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: many years we worked together in like all these press

144
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: promo sheets and like what do they called him blank?

145
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: And we haven't done one in a while, but like

146
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: all the boyip one sheets the bullet points of your career,

147
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: he has billions more views than you ever had in

148
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: your entire career, in your twenty year career. He's he's

149
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: exceeded that in less than six months.

150
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,119
Speaker 1: So for context, you have managed me and my music

151
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: stuff since you know, like two thousand and eight, and

152
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: then as that continued and I ended up walking away

153
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: from music touring, you continue to manage me and all

154
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: the different things we do, like for instance, book like

155
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: you manage my book writing and book publishing and stuff

156
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: like that. And then when Parker started having success on

157
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,240

Speaker 1: to speak for you.

167
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 5: It started happening a little bit more recently in public

00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 5: it so it's like maybe once a week or something.

169
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: I also want to know why you're so engaging in

170
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: funny on your YouTube channel, but you come on a

171
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: podcast like this in your talk real monotone, like.

172
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 5: Just like with anything, I guess you just have to

173
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 5: turn it on, like when you're that's like that's like

174
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 5: me asking you like when you're performing, Like that's Earl Dibbles. Yeah,

175
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 5: that's like a show, like when the camera comes from

176
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 5: Earl Dibbles.

177
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: So your your your channel's called yee Life and basically

178
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: you shoot things. What's your what's your tagline for that?

179
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah?

180
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 5: I usually just say minus Park, Welcome to you life

181
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 5: where we take anything and everything and we shoot it

182
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: with guns and we see what happens. So the like

183
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 5: brief story is about a year and a half ago

184
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 5: with you stepping down for music. We were thinking of ways

185
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 5: for us to make EE help YEE continue to bring

186
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 5: people into the fold of what YE is. And I

187
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 5: saw a guy talking about like he was like, only

188
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 5: nobody can be you like you can. So just think

189
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 5: about what different things uh God has placed in your

190
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 5: life that you can utilize to your advantage as a

191
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 5: competitive advantage of in the business world. And so I

192
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 5: was just thinking, we had land and then we had

193
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 5: the we had that the gun range in the Berm

194
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 5: and I had been helping behind the scenes with videos

195
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 5: with you with earldbls for whatever six seven years, and

196
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 5: so I knew a little bit about and had I

197
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 5: had my own TikTok at the time where I would

198
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 5: just do funny videos, and so just thought maybe I

199
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 5: could combine those and we were friends with a lot

200
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 5: of gun tubers and it's like, maybe we should just

201
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 5: try to try to do this ourselves, and it just

202
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 5: kind of took off and we just continued to build

203
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 5: on it.

204
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: Well, not that you were doing exactly what this other

205
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: guy was doing, but it also kind of coincided with

206
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 3: a big gun guy YouTube gun tuber, so leaving left

207
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 3: and you had already started taking.

208
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: A demo mat Yeah, yeah, yeah.

209
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 5: Demolition Ranch, who had reached out to Granger in like

210
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 5: twenty twenty and I had become a good friend of

211
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 5: ours and really like a mentor in the YouTube space,

212
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 5: stepped down and was kind of he had been doing

213
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 5: it like ten years and was ready to kind of

214
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 5: be done with that phase of his of his journey.

215
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: And I'll brag on you just for a little bit.

216
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: You know. I talk to other people who will sometimes

217
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: ask me, like, what's your brother doing these days? And

218
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: I'll try to explain it. I'll say, well, you know,

219
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: he's got a YouTube page and he shoots things, and

220
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: inevitably they'll say something like, oh, so he's like trying

221
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: to do the demo Matt thing, And then you know

222
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: deep inside him thinking, oh, he's he's not trying to

223
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: he is doing it. Well, what you just have to

224
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: tell people is like there's a website called social blade

225
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: dot com and it ranks all the YouTube channels in

226
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: the entire world. Parker's ranked like number six hundred. He's

227
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: the number one channel that does guns. He's like mister

228
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: Beast's number one. Parker's six hundred in the entire world

229
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: on YouTube.

230
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: Like there's not. There's only like five hundred that are

231
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: bigger than him any channel. It's crazy.

232
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 3: Wow.

233
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: To put in perspective, he's not trying to do it.

234
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: He's literally like the point zero zero zero zero one

235
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: percent of all YouTube channel.

236
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 5: The reason it's like that, though, is because of our

237
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 5: YouTube shorts, like our long videos, Like there's still plenty

238
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 5: of guys that are way bigger and better than me,

239
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 5: Like we just we were able to we were able

240
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 5: to nail down like the sixty second not in your

241
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 5: TikTok version of not in.

242
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: Your lane of long form.

243
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: Well, so let me look and see what you're right

244
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: right now? I mean, your your page is growing like crazy.

245
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: What are you at six million? Six million subscribers?

246
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 3: What's wild? We were watching me and the family over

247
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 3: Christmas were watching one and it was before you got

248
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: to six, and it was like five and like five

249
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 3: point two or something like that. And as I'm telling Granger, hey,

250
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: we watched it yesterday, he goes, oh, he's at almost

251
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: six now, as what is it is? Like, where is

252
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: it right now?

253
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: Six oh seven?

254
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 3: So it was I said it was five point two,

255
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 3: And next day I talked to him and it was

256
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 3: at five point six.

257
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: So here's a perspective. In the last seven days, he's

258
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: gotten one hundred and seventy three thousand, three hundred and

259
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: seventy three Wow subscribers in seven days.

260
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 3: That's wild, that's wild.

261
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, averages like one hundred click a week.

262
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a it's a really big channel. Okay, So

263
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: that's our intro. What do we what do we have

264
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: on tap today?

265
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 3: And man, well, we ended the Granger Smith podcast last

266
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 3: week said goodbye wasn't clickbait although it was funny. Somebody

267
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 3: said it totally was clickbait because you're not leaving, you're

268
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 3: going to a new podcast. But it wasn't. It was

269
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: the end of that pot. If you notice today this

270
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: podcast is not on that channel. Yeah, this podcast is

271
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: on a brand new channel. But you know, was you know,

272
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 3: I think we're going to talk about what was leading

273
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 3: country music worth it? Yeah?

274
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: So I think it would be appropriate as we as

275
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: we start this new podcast in episode one and we

276
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: think back on the last two years or so since

277
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: I walked away from music touring, we could ask the

278
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: question together with the brothers and with Amen, was it

279
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: worth it?

280
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 3: You know?

281
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: Because you know, like like in many ways. It's crushed

282
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: our family, it's crushed. It's crushed just financially, it's crushed.

283
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: Ye ye, it's hurt. It's hurt us in many ways.

284
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if it wasn't for for Yee Life taking

285
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: off the way it is with Parker, that's kind of

286
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: been a lifeline for the brand in some ways. And

287
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: so I think it's worth it. It's worth a discussion.

288
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: There's a biblical answer that I can't wait to get

289
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: to do this. That's what we'll always do in this podcast,

290
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: but I want to discuss it for now well.

291
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 3: As we get a lot of questions, a lot of comments.

292
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 3: In fact, there was one that came on the last

293
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 3: one that was like, don't don't don't forget about why

294
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: this became popular because of the music. Don't do away

295
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: with the music. And like you have, I don't think

296
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 3: you've been watching the last year or a year and

297
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 3: a half or whatever, because that that is gout. You know,

298
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: there's not new music coming out, do you is was

299
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: there a way for you in your mind to be

300
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 3: able to do Oh?

301
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, I think I tried that for years.

302
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 3: What was the biggest hurdle?

303
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: You have my my own pride because you know when

304
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: you when you think about how the Lord radically saved

305
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: me and turned it around for him. And you see

306
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: this in other believers as well. You see people that

307
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: share the same story and you, oh, yeah, yeah, we

308
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: have the same father because I could recognize that that

309
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: kind of story. But when when someone has radically changed,

310
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: and you know they the Lord puts that hook in

311
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:38,359
Speaker 1: their mouth language that Isaiah uses, there is a noticeable

312
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: difference in that person with what matters in their life.

313
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: You start to think, does this matter anymore to me?

314
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: Like things that once mattered to me matter less now

315
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: that's that's that's one of the things that starts to

316
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: happen in your soul. And you know, this could be

317
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: a test for any of us as we, for instance,

318
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: think it's think about your deathbed when we fall sick

319
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: with the illness of which we are to die, which

320
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: is what happened to Elisha in the Bible, and we

321
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: could look back from our deathbed, look back on life

322
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: at the things that actually mattered, and we will notice.

323
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: I believe that the things that matter don't always correlate

324
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: with things that we wanted to do or things that

325
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: were fun at the time. For instance that this past year,

326
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: when we lost my grandmother, I went to visit her

327
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: in hospice and I didn't really want to do that.

328
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone wants to see someone at

329
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: the end of their life that they love. But I

330
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: did it because it mattered. And that wasn't because I

331
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: wanted to, but because I knew it mattered and I

332
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: needed to. And that's what began to happen with country music.

333
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: It's like I want to do it. I think I

334
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: want to keep touring, but it just doesn't matter anymore.

335
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't feel like it's it matters to me? Right?

336
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: Do you think it's because God changed your desires? Because

337
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 3: it's just, you know, I think for some people would

338
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 3: argue that it does matter. You mattered you, you said it,

339
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 3: you know, you on stage singing and and even proclaiming

340
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: the word from the stage mattered to them. And so

341
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 3: how can you say it doesn't matter when it mattered

342
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: to me?

343
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: Yes, And that's what I want to talk about because

344
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: everybody's different and everyone everyone's walk with the Lord is different.

345
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: And that's why we said before we started recording this

346
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: podcast this morning, we said, what if I was talking,

347
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: for, for instance, Josh Turner, who has used his platform to

348
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: speak about the Lord and sing about the Lord and

349
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: country music, and he would if he would say, I

350
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: need to be in country music. It matters for me

351
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: to be in country music because this is my platform

352
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: to proclaim the gospel. And I feel that to my core,

353
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: I would say, amen, brother, And I haven't specifically talked

354
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: to Josh about this, but I would say amen, and

355
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: thank the Lord for that kind of conviction of what

356
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: matters most in your soul. Yeah, So to your point,

357
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: I haven't felt that. And a lot of times when

358
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: we're seeking the Lord with all of our heart, he

359
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: begins to give us new desires like you're talking about.

360
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 3: Amen.

361
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 1: And so to the Josh Turner story, I would say,

362
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: that's not me. I don't have that desire. And for

363
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: whatever reason, the Lord started reshaping my desires. And I

364
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: felt in my core that ultimately country music was becoming

365
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: and was and idle to me. And so then for

366
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: the people that say, but grandeur with music, you could

367
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: have reached so many more people, I say, well, then

368
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: then comes in the name of this podcast right ninety

369
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: nine for one, And we used to think about this

370
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: a long time ago. Taller we would be with the

371
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: band and we'd be in a production meeting and we

372
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: would think about this way in music. We would think,

373
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: we would pray before show that that we would be

374
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: able to impact the one. We would forget about the thousands,

375
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: and we would impact the one because we knew that

376
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: that's what mattered. And we didn't know, you know, theologically

377
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: as much what that meant, but but we felt in

378
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: our soul that that it was it would be the

379
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: one person that mattered. And and so that that's kind

380
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: of where we are with this podcast. And so we've

381
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: we've told ourselves that no matter the views we get

382
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: or the listens, because we're inevitably going to go and

383
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: look and see how's the podcast doing, how many people

384
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: are looking at it. And we've decided as we started

385
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: this that that will not matter to us. We will

386
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: we will seek the one and equip the ninety nine

387
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: to do the same well.

388
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: And if I can, I'm want to set the stage

389
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 3: a little bit because I want to ask you, Tyler,

390
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 3: when it when it came this revelation and two of

391
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 3: God to Granger, it changed a lot of stuff for you.

392
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: What did it change for you specifically, and how did

393
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 3: it affect you so much?

394
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's say the Lord saved me through it, for one,

395
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 2: but I kind of before I forgot to don't pass

396
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 2: that real quick? How Why why did he say me? How?

397
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 3: Yeah? What was the What was that time different than

398
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 3: every other time that you heard the word? Well?

399
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: I think the underlying theme is, to you know, is

400
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 2: Proverbs three four through six, trusting the Lord with all

401
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: your heart and not lean not on your own understanding.

402
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,479
Speaker 2: I was trusting in myself, very long story shore. I

403
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 2: was trusting in myself. I was making good money. I

404
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: was idolizing the lifestyle I was. I was putting everything

405
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 2: on my shoulder, saying, I'm doing all of this, I'm

406
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: creating all this, I'm thinking about all this, I'm doing

407
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: all this. And then Granger decided to leave touring. Parker

408
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: decided to leave to go to Washington, d C. It's

409
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: like a lot of different moving parts here, but Parker left, Ye,

410
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: so I had to run yuee myself. Granger was leaving music,

411
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: and so, you know, I had to deal with that,

412
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 2: and I was like, all right, cool, I'm just gonna

413
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: get up earlier. I'm gonna work out harder. I'm gonna

414
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 2: do three workouts. I'm gonna, you know, time block all this.

415
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 2: And then I just broke down and I was like, Lord,

416
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: the Lord broke me down. I broke down. The Lord

417
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: save me. I can't do this, I thought I could.

418
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 2: I need you. And that's the day that he saved me.

419
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: So with with with Granger leaving, it shook up your

420
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: security that wasn't in the Lord.

421
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there was one thing I wanted to say.

422
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 2: I think you said something about the music. Some fans said, yeah,

423
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 2: don't forget that the and I just thought of something

424
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 2: that it was never the music. It was always and

425
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: let's be honest, Granger was not and is not the

426
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 2: Lebron James a vocal seeing would you agree with that?

427
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: Of course, Like let's say a Chris Stapleton, I for

428
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: like we do a guitar pool, It's like, wow, that

429
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 2: guy's voice is incredible. Granger was just a product of

430
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 2: like good enough to get into the NFL, right, you.

431
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: See, it's nice to have your brother as a manager.

432
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: He just.

433
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 3: You don't have to promote you anymore.

434
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 2: Granger's good enough get get into the NFL. And like

435
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 2: anybody would say, hey, talent, like hard work beats talent.

436
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: Every day, Granger would work harder. Here's the compliment. Granger

437
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 2: would work harder than anybody in the industry just by

438
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 2: sheer force.

439
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 5: The white slot receiver in the NFL.

440
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 2: Yeah he got in. But uh, the music was always

441
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: like a subset or a byproduct of everything we were doing.

442
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 2: We we created earld dibbles, you know, that propelled us

443
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: into record label and viral videos, and you know we

444
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: had a little success tiny with music, but we have.

445
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 2: So that's like we're to the answer that guy's question.

446
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: We created ye life, we created this new podcast. Like,

447
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 2: so my whole point here is just always be and

448
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: what we've all we've always done is we've we've used

449
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 2: our brains, uh and and through it all, it's like

450
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: it's cool to see what the Lord to trust him

451
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 2: and his plan, because would we want to still be

452
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: in music right now? The Lord like we could still

453
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: be just like white knuck on it, maybe get another

454
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 2: number one, maybe have some success. Maybe, But it's like, man,

455
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 2: like what I've like bird's eye view, like pulling out

456
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: from this is like just given me such more like

457
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 2: deeper trust in the Lord. You know, does any of

458
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: this make sense?

459
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, absolutely. I think that there are there are

460
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: a few people on this earth and we could name

461
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: them on one hand that you could hear their voice

462
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: and you go, you areted beyond belief. Like you, the

463
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: Lord has given you a gift that it would be foolish,

464
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: it would be sinful to not use that gift. People

465
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: like Auverley Mario.

466
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 2: We had to we you and I had to work

467
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: really hard to break into the industry.

468
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so and Chris Tapldon might be another one

469
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: where you know, somebody like Chris Tapldon starts to back

470
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: out of music and you go, hang on a second.

471
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: You know, the Lord is blessed you in a way

472
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: that that's beyond any anybody else that sings. You can't

473
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: make that saying our argument with me and to Tyler's point,

474
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: I think that that's why music never defined us, and

475
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: we were we were different in that way. We were

476
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: we were more about growing together as a brand and

477
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: and finding different ways and different different talents to engage people.

478
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: And I think anytime you have this kind of discussion,

479
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: it always leads back to do like the comment any

480
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: man of someone saying, but Granger, you left music, you

481
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: could have reached so many more people. And to that,

482
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: I say, God doesn't need me to reach more people.

483
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,719
Speaker 1: In fact, he doesn't need anybody to reach more people.

484
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: He reaches his people. That's what he does, and he

485
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: will reach his people by any means that he does.

486
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: And so we should never think of ourselves as we

487
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: are growing the kingdom. The Lord, in his kindness, uses

488
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: broken sinners like us to grow his kingdom, and he

489
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: does it by reaching the one. And so before we

490
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: go any further, I could I read a quote from

491
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: this guy. Y'all heard of this guy, David Brainerd. He

492
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: was a missionary in the eighteenth century. Fantastic story, incredible story,

493
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: but it goes to this. It goes to the idea

494
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: of are we growing the kingdom or is God growing

495
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: the kingdom? And here's his quote. This is from his journal.

496
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: David brainer says, I was constrained and yet chose to

497
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: say farewell all friends and earthly comforts, the dearest of them, all,

498
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: the very dearest. If the Lord calls for it, I do.

499
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: I'll spend my life to my latest moments in caves

500
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: and dens of the earth. If the Kingdom of Christ

501
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: may thereby be advanced. I found extraordinary freedom at this

502
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: time in pouring out my soul to God for his cause,

503
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: and especially that His kingdom might be extended among the Indians,

504
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: talking about Native Americans. This was in America, far remote,

505
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: he says, and I had a great and strong hope

506
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: that God would do it. I continued wrestling with God

507
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: in prayer. I longed to be as a flame of fire,

508
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: continually growing in the divine service, preaching and building up

509
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: christ Kingdom. To my latest, my dying moment. He was

510
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: preaching to the Indians, Native Americans. And the story goes

511
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: that there was no real fruit from this. There was

512
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: no real success, earthly success like from human terms. You

513
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: would have looked at David Brainerd and thought, man, he

514
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: did nothing really mattered. He died by tuberculosis at age

515
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: twenty nine. In a lot of ways you could you

516
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: can go wasted life. Look at this guy. He foolishly

517
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 1: went out and went after the one, you know, and

518
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 1: nothing really came of it. But after he died, his

519
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: journal was found, and it's so inspired so many people

520
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: like Jonathan Edwards who found his journal and republished it,

521
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: and millions read it. After that, including guys like me

522
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: and missionaries were inspired and during that time to go

523
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: into the ends of the earth, all because of the

524
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: spirit that the Lord gave David. This zeal for reaching

525
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: the One was given a David, and he didn't have success,

526
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: but the Lord grew it way later.

527
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 3: You know.

528
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: That's that's incredibly encouraging.

529
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

530
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you could look at David's life and

531
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: you can go, man, this guy he could have been

532
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: a businessman and made a lot of money and then

533
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: invested that money back into ministry, and he could have

534
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: they could have bought a new church building because of

535
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: you know, his work and the financial growth that he had,

536
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: and he could have given it all back to the Lord.

537
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: And in fact, you didn't do any of that, David.

538
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: You just went and got tuberculosis and died in a cave. Man.

539
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: That's that's unwise. You know, you could.

540
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 3: Easily say that quick break, real quick. I want to

541
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: ask you about something that I saw parkert eee dot com,

542
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 3: and that was everything you guys know about women. They're

543
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 3: cold and they like ice coffee, and you're you're at

544
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 3: least solving one of those problems with buy one, get one, right, now.

545
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, we saw a real problem out there and

546
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 5: that was that girls kept taking their eyes hoodies and jackets. Yes,

547
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 5: and it was time that we did something about it.

548
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 5: And girls are always cold, and so we decided for

549
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 5: a limited time that we were going to do a

550
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 5: buy any women's jacket, you get another women's jacket for free.

551
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,239
Speaker 5: So we would buy one, get one completely free right

552
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 5: now at ee dot com now through the end of

553
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 5: the month, to hopefully just warm some of these ladies up.

554
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and guys, get some of your clothes back. Pretty cool,

555
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 3: yeee dot com right now. Well, at the same time

556
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 3: that God is calling you to leave to please him

557
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 3: and get out of music, it changes stuff for Tyler

558
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 3: and he God grabs a hold of you and saves you.

559
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: And at the same time it's also shaken up the business.

560
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 3: Not only Granger leaving, but you're going basically to intern

561
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 3: right in DC, Is that right, Parker?

562
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, in twenty twenty three, I went to DC for

563
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 5: six month internship under a pastor there, just to learn

564
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 5: and grow in faith with the intention of coming back

565
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 5: and resuming my role. But yeah, I tell people all

566
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 5: the time that Tyler felt the cost of Christ of

567
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 5: following Christ very heavily, really more than Granger or I,

568
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 5: because he lost in Granger's conversion and in my conversion,

569
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 5: he lost all of his money and he got all

570
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 5: of the burden of run of running a apparel company

571
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 5: day to day. And so it was like this like

572
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 5: twofold of the Lord taking something away, adding this burden,

573
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 5: and he's just stuck by himself on the farm.

574
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 3: And but it's in those.

575
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: Things representation of the Lord saying I will break you,

576
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: no matter how stubborn you think you are.

577
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 5: And you know, that's all you can see in a

578
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 5: lot of people's conversions. God's hand, his loving hand gets

579
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 5: heavier and heavier on them because it's the only thing

580
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 5: that will wake us up from the trance that this

581
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 5: world puts us in.

582
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good.

583
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 3: There's a I was looking for something, well, and I say,

584
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 3: I'm looking for something. I wasn't actively. I wasn't going, man,

585
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 3: what is going to be my thing for twenty twenty six? Right?

586
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 3: But it was like it was kind of like running

587
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 3: into a brick wall. Was like, oh, that's it when

588
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: I heard it, and it was and it fits here,

589
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 3: I think because while you could have stayed in music.

590
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 3: Would you be pleasing the Lord with staying in music, Yes,

591
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 3: you'd be reaching, But he wasn't calling you to reach

592
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 3: like you said. It wasn't calling to reach the ninety nine.

593
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 3: He was calling you to reach the one. So I

594
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 3: want you to get out of this. And it's going

595
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 3: to be it's going to be a change in your life.

596
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: It's going to be hard in some areas and it's

597
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 3: going to be hard in some areas. It's gonna be

598
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,959
Speaker 3: hard in some areas for you, Parker, but it ultimately

599
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 3: what it it led to you. It's leading and still

600
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 3: in some areas, leading you into a place where you are.

601
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 3: It's not good. It's pleasing. It pleases him. And for

602
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 3: some reason, when I heard this the other day, it

603
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 3: just me because I was like, I'm living and I'm

604
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 3: doing and I'm trying, But am I pleasing? And when

605
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 3: Jesus gets baptized, this is my son whom I love.

606
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 3: But I don't just love him. I am pleased, pleased.

607
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: I'm not just pleased well pleased.

608
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 3: So can I do that? And we can? In Proverbs

609
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 3: Proverbs sorry in Philippians in chapter two, Therefore, my beloved,

610
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 3: as you have always obeyed so now not only as

611
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 3: in my presence, but it's much more in my absence.

612
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 3: Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for

613
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 3: it is God who works in you, both to will

614
00:31:52,560 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 3: and to work for his pleasure. I was praying for

615
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 3: this podcast before we started. Been a week since we

616
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 3: really you know, Okay, this is the end of this one.

617
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 3: I want this to be pleasing to you. And that's

618
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: been my prayer up through today, and I hope it's

619
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 3: our prayer this year because it applies to everything that

620
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: we do, is that we can be good in it,

621
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 3: or we can be acceptable, but are we pleasing to Him? Yeah?

622
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: Because inevitably, when this comes out, we're gonna have some

623
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: kind of conversation about how many people viewed it.

624
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 3: Right, of course we will.

625
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: And I'll say it again, before we started this podcast,

626
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: even at just the idea of the concept, we knew

627
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: we had to be resolute that it could not be

628
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: about the performance of the podcast or the views or

629
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: the mentions or the you know, it just can't be

630
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: that because that might fuel us for six months or

631
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: a year or two years. And we've all done this

632
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: in different ways, but eventually it will not be enough.

633
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: There needs to be more. There needs to be a greater.

634
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: Why then, because it's it gets a lot of views,

635
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: we must act as though it is truly a podcast

636
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: about reaching the one and equipping the ninety nine to

637
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: mobilize for the one. And so to add to build

638
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: upon what you said in Philippians two, Hey man, we

639
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: should rightly go to Philippians three, right because I think

640
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: this would be the perfect answer to the continuation of

641
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: what you said, and the perfect answer to our title,

642
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, was leaving country music worth it. Everything has

643
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: been lost, and that statement's true. I mean, we had

644
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: momentum and we lost it. We had rising success and

645
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: we lost it. We had chart positions and we lost it.

646
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: We had a booming apparel company and we lost it.

647
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: We lost all of what that was. We had employees

648
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: and we lost them. A band we lost them. We

649
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: had buses and a semi truck, we lost it. So

650
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: what then, does the apostle Paul say to these things

651
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: that are lost? Let's read three. He says down in

652
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: verse seven, but whatever gain I had, I counted as

653
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything

654
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ,

655
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: Jesus my Lord. For his sake, I have suffered the

656
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, as garbage,

657
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: as trash, in order that I may gain Christ and

658
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my

659
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: own that comes from the law, but that which comes

660
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 1: through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends

661
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: on faith. That I may know Him in the power

662
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: of his resurrection, and may share in his sufferings, becoming

663
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: like him in his death, that by any means possible,

664
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: I may at obtain the resurrection from the dead. This

665
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: is the heartbeat of what we're saying, is this is

666
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: the heartbeat of this podcast that I am not the

667
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: apostle Paul. And I can't say this with true genuineness,

668
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: you know I can't. I can't say these verses and

669
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: go that's me, me and Paul. You know I can't.

670
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: But because this is the word of God, I can

671
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: look at this and I go, this is for me,

672
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: and this is this, Oh God, let this be my

673
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: heart position. Let this be what I want. Let Paul's

674
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: desire here and Paul's understanding about what he's gained in

675
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: the world is now rubbish to him. Lord, let that

676
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: be me, Make that be be my desire as well.

677
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: I can say that because this is written. This is

678
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: written by the Spirit too, children that the Spirit has

679
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: his board witness with this is this is about me.

680
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: So Lord, fulfill this, fulfill this promise that you've have made.

681
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: That the apostle expresses, fulfill this desire in me.

682
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 5: And it's not from some kind of willpower that you

683
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 5: mustered up in yourself because you're super disciplined to tie

684
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 5: it to what Aunt said that ants versus so crazy,

685
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 5: because it's for it is God who works in you

686
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 5: both to will and work for his good pleasure, implying

687
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 5: that the desire to do something for God doesn't come

688
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 5: from you. God is working in you so that you

689
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 5: would want to work for his for his pleasure. So

690
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 5: God works in Granger to actually desire different things all

691
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 5: for God's glory, and Granger is just the vessel that

692
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 5: has his heart and desires changed.

693
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great.

694
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 5: One of the things that you said initially was you

695
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 5: felt like you had a tiny little AC unit, like

696
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 5: a window ac unit, and you were just blowing it

697
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 5: out to the backyard and you're like, I have all

698
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 5: this zeal and you're just this little, like sputtering AC

699
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 5: unit just going out into like one hundred and five

700
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 5: degree Texas backyard. You say you could continue to preach

701
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 5: from a stage for seventy thousand people, but you just

702
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 5: felt like You're like, I need, I need to concentrate

703
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 5: this this cold air into a room of a few

704
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 5: people that I can pour into. And I felt like

705
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 5: that isn't that kind of what you say?

706
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? And I was thinking as you're saying that what

707
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: happens to a small AC unit that you run on

708
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: high at all times?

709
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 3: It burns out yeah, quickly. Yeah.

710
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: And so we even have a couple of guys with

711
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: us from the church right now, Dylan and ji Uh.

712
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 1: And I hope that this podcast could be a place

713
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: where we always have guys, guys in our immediate realm,

714
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: where we're we are pouring into and discipling guys, and

715
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: and so that that AC unit is not just dumping

716
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: out into the backyard. We're containing it here, you know,

717
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: right here, and even in this very room, we're containing

718
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: the zeal of our of our AC unit. And to

719
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: that point that you know, I I've had these impactful moments,

720
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: there's there's certain ones that just with you, you know. And

721
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: early on in my going out and preaching and speaking

722
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: different groups, somebody said something that stuck with me. And

723
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: as I was going out and speaking to these different

724
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: groups across the country and loving it, you know, I

725
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: loved doing that, but I recognized something. I recognized that

726
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: the hard part was not the speaking, but it was

727
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: afterward talking to people. And people would come up to

728
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: me afterwards and they would they would pour their hearts

729
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: out to me, and they would they would tell me

730
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 1: things going on in their lives. And I remember this

731
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: this one time there was a there was a guy

732
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: in Oklahoma and he came up to me and he

733
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: just he just looked dead on the outside. You know,

734
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: his face was white, his eyes were just glazed over,

735
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,959
Speaker 1: and he was like a zombie. And I said, hey, brother, brother,

736
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: what's going on? And he said, I've been struggling. Last year,

737
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,720
Speaker 1: I ran over my little boy with the tractor with

738
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: with the with the attachment. I had to pull him

739
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: out of it. And what do you what do you

740
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: say to something like that? But there is no quick fix.

741
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 1: So you could just see it all over this guy.

742
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: That a horrific story. You could see it on him.

743
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: He's coming to me because maybe I could empathize with him.

744
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: And what do you say to that? There is no

745
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 1: quick fix, there is no well there's a line behind you, guys.

746
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: And I've got about an hour before I got to

747
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: get out here and get a flight. There's nothing I

748
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: could say for him that in that moment. And what

749
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: do you do? I just pray, Lord, You're gonna have

750
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: to bring somebody to disciple this man because I can't

751
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: do it. I'm leaving here shortly. And you know, I

752
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: got that guy's number, I got his phone number, and

753
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: I've done this a thousand times, and you know, we

754
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: keep in touch a little bit. But eventually, if I'm

755
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: not walking alongside him, if I'm not taking him to

756
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: coffee and lunches and being there with him on Sunday mornings,

757
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: if he's not in my church really or in a

758
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 1: partner church with us, then it fizzles out. It always does,

759
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: because I can't be what he needs me to be

760
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: is someone pouring into him. And I remember telling the

761
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: story to another guy, and these are count the countless

762
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: stories of mine meeting people like this, and it was

763
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: expressing my pain in this to another guy and he

764
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: just quite simply said, Oh, that's because you have a

765
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: pastor's heart, and it really cleared everything up. Yeah, not

766
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: in a there's different kinds of people. The Spirit gives

767
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: different gifts to different people. An evangelist like a Billy

768
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: Graham could go out and speak to thousands and thousands

769
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: of people faithfully and go to the next town and

770
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: do it again faithfully, and then there's other people like

771
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: me that can't. I can't do it. I can't sleep

772
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 1: at night because I'm thinking about the one guy who

773
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: told me the story that now I can't be with him.

774
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: And that doesn't make me any better or worse than

775
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 1: an evangelist, for instance, But it's just different. They're different

776
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: members of the body serve different purposes. So there's the

777
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: evangelist that could proclaim the gospel faithful, and then then

778
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: there's another group guys like me, that the Lord says,

779
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: I want you to be the follow up of the

780
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: gospel proclaimed. So the gospel is gonna get proclaimed, maybe

781
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 1: by you, but but either way, you are the follow up.

782
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: You're the one walking the life with the person. And

783
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: that's that's what mattered to me. And you know, guys,

784
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: where I could say, what are you doing Tuesday? You know,

785
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 1: what do you what are you doing for lunch Friday?

786
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: How's how's the thing going? You know, the thing that

787
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: we talked about that, how's that going? Let's get back together,

788
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: you know. Let let come and come and sit in

789
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: my podcast, you know when we record it, sit with me.

790
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: How's it going? And for some reason, that's just the

791
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: way the Lord built me. And so do you know

792
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: part of this is the Lord, through his desires and

793
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: through giving me desires, showed me more satisfaction one thing

794
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: and less satisfaction in another thing. And so that's not

795
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: me telling anyone else that they need to stay in

796
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: country music and they need to do this a certain

797
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: way to the commoners.

798
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 2: This is what the Lord has.

799
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: Done to me. And if you're seeking the Lord, this

800
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: goes for everybody. If you're seeking the Lord, he is

801
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: going to crush you in certain areas and give you

802
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: peace in other areas, and you will redirect according to

803
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: the peace right. So what about you, guys, do you

804
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: guys relate to this at all?

805
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say briefly, I think certain people

806
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 5: are in shadows that God is calling, you know, into

807
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 5: a position that is like a little bit more in

808
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 5: the limelight to potentially maybe share the Gospel with more

809
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 5: people or for whatever reason. And then certain people are

810
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 5: out there that you feel like the Lord is calling

811
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 5: you into more of a life of just like one

812
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 5: on ones and a life of obscurity.

813
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 3: And don't think because he called June to those one

814
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 3: on ones that it's any more insignificant than the one

815
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 3: he's calling into the limelight.

816
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, and in many ways it could be even more

817
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 5: rewarding to be able to be the follow up guy

818
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 5: again that this gets to see the transformation over five, ten,

819
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 5: fifteen years of like some of the guys that we know,

820
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 5: rather than just going and you you speak at a

821
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 5: conference to whatever another fifteen hundred guys and you don't

822
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 5: see any of them ever again.

823
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: You know. And to that point, I remember meeting with

824
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: a guy and we had met several times and he

825
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: was it's kind of repeating this verse out of the

826
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: Bible that he was applying to himself, and he was

827
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: over and over he would talk about the disappointments in

828
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: his life and he would repeat that verse over himself.

829
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: And I, you know, like everything in my spirit was

830
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: screaming at me that he was using this verse out

831
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: of context, and he was forgetting the next, the very

832
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: next part of the verse. He was forgetting that he

833
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: was that part, not the first part. It was an

834
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: Old Testament passage. And I remember sitting there with him

835
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 1: and just kind of pausing for a second and reminding

836
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,399
Speaker 1: him that he wasn't the first part of the verse,

837
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: he was the second part. He was using it out

838
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 1: of context all this time. And when I said that,

839
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: the Spirit just overwhelmed him and I saw just the

840
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: tenseness in his face just relax his shoulders kind of

841
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 1: sat back, and he was revived, you know, by biblical truth.

842
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: The Lord revived him through the scripture, through my brain

843
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: and out of my mouth and into his ears. And

844
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: when I saw him just pull back and have peace,

845
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: I just thought, Oh, I love this. I love this.

846
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: This took an hour in my time that mattered. You know,

847
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 1: I could have been in front of twenty thousand people,

848
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 1: but this is the moment that mattered, and I felt

849
00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: it in my core.

850
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 3: I think it's fitting that you you have the nine

851
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 3: ninety four one on your cap. It's in this in

852
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 3: this podcast. It's it's not the spelled out words it's

853
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 3: the actual numbers, and one is the last of those

854
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 3: four numbers, but it's the one that the focus is on,

855
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 3: the one.

856
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: Does anybody want to read that? Luke fifteen? I mean,

857
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: we've we've been talking about it for quite a bit

858
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: and here I'll turn to it. We've been talking about it,

859
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,439
Speaker 1: and people might be like, what is he talking about?

860
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 1: Ninety nine? For one, Well, it's in. It's in the

861
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: Gospel of Luke and the fifteenth chapter. Jesus, starting verse one, says,

862
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: now the task collectors and sinners were all drawing near

863
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: to him. This is Jesus, And the Pharisees and the

864
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: scribes grumbled, saying, this man receives sinners and eats with them.

865
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: So he Jesus told them a parable, what man of you,

866
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them,

867
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: does not leave the nine in the open country and

868
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: go after the one that is lost until he finds it.

869
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: And when he has found it, he lays it on

870
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 1: his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home he calls

871
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, rejoice

872
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 1: with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.

873
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: Just so I tell you, there will be more joy

874
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety

875
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: nine righteous persons who.

876
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 4: Need no repentance. So beautiful, you know, the the image

877
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 4: of him, of Jesus laying the lamb on his shoulder,

878
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:43,280
Speaker 4: the Shepherd, the Great Shepherd, laying the lamb on his shoulders,

879
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 4: is such a sight. It reminds me of like a

880
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 4: Sunday school class where you have the painting, the old

881
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 4: painting with the frame, and you see the Christ and

882
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 4: a lamb over his shoulders. That's that's where it comes from.

883
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 5: I was reading a children's book to my son at

884
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 5: church the other day. I took him down and we

885
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 5: were in Washington, d c obvious that the took him

886
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 5: down to the library innerneath and we were reading the

887
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 5: like some of the little kid's books, and one of

888
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 5: them was called The Missing Sheep and it's by Karen

889
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 5: McKenzie and it's a little kid's book of that parable

890
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 5: and just like the simplicity of this kid's book with

891
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 5: Jesus like looking for his lost sheep and explaining that

892
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 5: to David for the first time as he's like processing

893
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 5: there's a sheep and then its owner I just like

894
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 5: had tears streaming down my eyes, just kind of reliving it,

895
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 5: like from a child's perspective for the first time.

896
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: Well, do you want to read some comments? He man.

897
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: I think that there's a couple of routine things that

898
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: I want to do on this show, and I think

899
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: reading comments from the last Granger Smith podcast of the

900
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: final episode, maybe we could read some comments from that,

901
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: and then we will read comments next episode, will read

902
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: comments from this one from the YouTube page, and then

903
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: after that I want to do a book giveaway. I

904
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: think that would be something we should do every episode

905
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: where and this goes for everybody, all four of you guys,

906
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: all three of you guys. If you think of a

907
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: book you want to give away, bring it with you

908
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about it and mail it out. So

909
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: here's the here's the first book I kind of want

910
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 1: to give away. It's called The Mortification of Sin. This

911
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: is a Puritan Puritan John Owen. I thought, you know,

912
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: episode one of this podcast, if we could get people

913
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: to start reading Puritans, what a what an encouraging thing

914
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 1: that would be. And this is Puritan John Owen. It's

915
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: it's a very short book. It's you know, besides the

916
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: prologue and the outro or whatever. It's around one hundred pages,

917
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: super easy read. So this book John Owen Pureton, he

918
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: read a book on Romans eight thirteen. Let me find

919
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: that real quick. This, this whole book is basically on

920
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: Romans eight thirteen. And this idea of us the necessity

921
00:48:54,920 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: of killing our sin, as Christians are are our commandment

922
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: to kill sin. This is Romans eight thirteen. We find

923
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 1: it real quick. For if you live according to the flesh,

924
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 1: you will die. But if by the spirit you put

925
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

926
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: He writes this book in a very practical way and

927
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: yet devotionally like a like a Puritan that he was,

928
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: and it is so encouraging.

929
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 5: Fifteen seconds.

930
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 2: What's a Puritan?

931
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: Well, how about you? You spent a lot of time

932
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 1: in Washington, DC studying Puritans.

933
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 5: I'm asking you, man, I don't think I would have

934
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 5: like a definition that would be as accurate as what

935
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 5: you know.

936
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 2: What Thanksgivings based off of Oh, that's Pilgrims.

937
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 1: Well, actually not too far removed from the Pilgrims. The

938
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: Pilgrims were an offshoot from the Puritans, but the Puritans

939
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: were a group a product of the Reformation and after

940
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:56,240
Speaker 1: the Reformation, the Church of England reformed from the Roman

941
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: Catholic Church, and the Puritans were a group that believed

942
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: they weren't reformed enough, and that that word Puritan actually

943
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: comes from it's a derogatory term. They were the Puritans.

944
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 1: They were kind of looked upon, They were frowned upon

945
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: as people that that were holier than everybody else. That

946
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: that's that was the kind of the perception. But but

947
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 1: truly they were trying to be as as aligned to

948
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: Scripture as possible. They they they believed in preaching faithfully.

949
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 1: They they believed in in salvation by faith alone, by

950
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: grace alone, Christ alone. They they they were a group

951
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 1: that was highly persecuted and they wrote a lot.

952
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 2: This is.

953
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: This is a group that they wrote thousands and thousands

954
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: and thousands of books and sermons and journals and notes

955
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,280
Speaker 1: that we could now have Like if if you're reading

956
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: Puritans now, and if you're you're reading Puritan prayers and

957
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,080

958
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: sit there and read the entire volumes of it, but

959
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: if you read Pureton's just devotionally in small doses.
