Bishop, big time, 83 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: important date on the Christian calendar. In particular, Bishop, we've 84 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: talked a lot about the spirit stirring in America and 85 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: what's happening around the world. Just wanted to get some 86 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: reflections on you as you approach this Easter Sunday. 87 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 4: Well, Doctor Clinton, I called this weekend the Christian super Bowl, 88 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 4: And like any super Bowl, you get prepared for the 89 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 4: big weekend. And as we just reflect upon what Christ 90 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 4: did for us, His birth is life and now as 91 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 4: we celebrate commemorate the death and resurrection, that's the epitome 92 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 4: of salvation and how people get back to God. And 93 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 4: I truly see an excitement about the things of God 94 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 4: and God all around America today. 95 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: Bishop, you and I've had some personal conversations, and I 96 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: know you have. 97 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: A deep love for God. Yeah, a lot of people. 98 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: They talk about God, they don't necessarily have a relationship 99 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,239 Speaker 1: with Him. When you have a relationship with God, Bishop, 100 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: it brings hope into your life. It brings purpose and meaning. 101 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: There's something about what it means to be loved by God. 102 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:03,239 Speaker 3: Bishop. 103 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: When did you come to know Christ? And when did 104 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: you When did all that stuff kind of piece its 105 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: way together? And in the midst of a lot of challenges, 106 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: you have said to me many times you found him faithful. 107 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 4: Well, Doctor Clinton, I gave my life to Christ. At 108 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 4: the age of five years old. I remember going up 109 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 4: to my home church altar telling my pastor I want 110 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 4: to be saved, and he prayed the prayer and led 111 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 4: me through it, and then he said, what would you 112 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 4: like to do in the church? I told him I 113 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 4: want to preach? And everybody start laughing in the church. 114 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 4: What's this little boy talked about? He wants to preach? 115 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 4: But my pastor had a tear shared down his eye 116 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 4: and he began to say to me, I'm going to 117 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 4: raise this young man up and he's going to be 118 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 4: a great voice in the nation one day. And I 119 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 4: remember it clear as day. From that day, my pastor 120 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 4: took money his tutelage and he taught me the word 121 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 4: of God himself. He allowed me to be a hands 122 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 4: on student minister under him as my childhood. And then 123 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 4: in that same home church, I was the youngest ever 124 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 4: licensed minister in our denomination at fifteen and a half 125 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 4: years old. And then he made me his assistant when 126 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 4: I was sixteen years of age. Sixteen year olds of 127 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 4: getting licensed to drive, I was also getting licensed to 128 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 4: preach and to help lead a sixteen hundred member church. 129 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 4: So was that very point when I gave my life 130 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 4: to Jesus Christ, that Jesus was letting me know that 131 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 4: your life does not belong to you. Your life is mine, 132 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 4: and I'm going to use the rest of your life 133 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,679 Speaker 4: to be an example of my love and my witness. 134 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 5: Wow. 135 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: Bishop, this is the week that people spend time in 136 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: passages like Isaiah fifty three, how he was bruised for 137 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: our iniquities and wounded for our transgressions, and by his 138 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: stripes we are healed and so much more. And people 139 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: often go back and maybe they watched the Passion of 140 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: the Christ that movie that filmed, and then begin to 141 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: think and ask questions like why did Jesus really have 142 00:07:53,800 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: to die? And did he really die? And did he 143 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: did he did he raise from the dead? 144 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 3: And why? And what is all the significance of that? Bishop? 145 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: You know, just as a pastor and you preach the gospel. 146 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: Paul said, I'm not ashamed of the gospel. And by 147 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: the way, one Corinthians fifteen is that great Resurrection chapter. 148 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: You know that how Christ yes is risen from the dead, 149 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: and he was seen by Cephist, by Peter and others. 150 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: You know that, and all that becomes really important. What's 151 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: the personal side of that bishop? 152 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 2: Why? 153 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 3: And what was it about? 154 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: Is it because God simply loved me? 155 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 4: Yes, while we were yet sinners, Christ died. Who in 156 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 4: the world would die for someone who's already constantly rejecting them, 157 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 4: already constantly saying that I don't exist. But yet he 158 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 4: looks beyond the fault of humanity and said, Father, forgive them, 159 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 4: for they know not what they're doing. And he yet 160 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 4: purposed to die so that he could draw us to 161 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 4: him and to make that personal. It's personal to me 162 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 4: because yet, yes, we have evidence that Christ died by yeah, 163 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 4: you go to his two he's not there, and the 164 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 4: other scholars that have come with archaeology and different things 165 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 4: that says suggests that Christ rose from this place, etc. 166 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 4: But the greatest witness of his resurrection, if Christ be 167 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 4: not risen, everything that we do right now, according to Paul, 168 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 4: would be in vain. This old podcast, our witness, our 169 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 4: gospel that we preach, and the lives that we lead, 170 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 4: and the idea that God has personally transformed my life 171 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 4: and given me a heart to show people love and 172 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 4: to bring people together so that they can experience His 173 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 4: love even more personal witness of me knowing that Christ lived, died, 174 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 4: and he rose again, because He's alive in my life today. 175 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: Bishop, recently you went to Israel with over a thousand pastors. 176 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: You were able to go to some special places. The 177 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: empty tomb so much more Bishop, as you were over 178 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: there and you experienced that what A do inside of you. 179 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 4: Every time I go to Israel and I walk where 180 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 4: Jesus walk, I stood where Jesus stood, and I began 181 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 4: to try to visualize in that moment what Jesus was 182 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 4: feeling and experiencing at that moment, and what the people 183 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,479 Speaker 4: there that were witnessing that. It reminds me that who 184 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 4: I serve and who I follow is real because when 185 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 4: you look at the evidence of Scripture and you make 186 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 4: it applicable to how we live today and see how 187 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 4: we experience and get through the conflict of the world 188 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 4: that we live in, it's a reminder of the concon 189 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 4: of who Jesus is in my life. His love and 190 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 4: being on that soil reminds me of that. It gives 191 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 4: me more confidence in that, and that's why I defend 192 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 4: is real so much, because if you love God and 193 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 4: you love his word, you have to defend his people, 194 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 4: and that's what it's all about. So that trip is 195 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 4: always a surreal moment for me. 196 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: Bishop, this week, you and I were together in Washington, 197 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: d C. We serve as a part of a commission 198 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: really around faith, Faith Advisory Board, religious leaders from all 199 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: over the country, Franklin Graham, Jensen, Franklin, Jonathan Folwell, so 200 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: many people were there, a lot of dignitaries in the room. 201 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: We were at the invitation of President Donald J. Trump 202 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: and the Faith Office led by Paula White, Jenny Korn, 203 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: so many others. But it's this message that we're committed 204 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: to that we just want a country where we're free 205 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: to worship the God. 206 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 3: We love, the God we serve. 207 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: And Bishop, it was pretty momentous, seriously, even the President, 208 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: and we're grateful for the invitation. Of course we're going 209 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: to come and pray with the President. Of course we're 210 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: going to quote, you know, serve and pray for our 211 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: nation and so much more. But really there was a 212 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: lot of honor towards Christ in that moment. 213 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 3: Just your thoughts. 214 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 4: Live in a time where the President of the United 215 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 4: States his opening statements would be Jesus and him crucified 216 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 4: I am just excited about that, and I'm excited about 217 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 4: President Trump being a man after God's on heart enough 218 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 4: to acknowledge his existence and to acknowledge his need for 219 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 4: his presence in his life right now, and to hear basically, 220 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 4: President Trump give a humbly about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 221 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 4: It was just an honor to be in that room 222 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 4: and an honor to be a part of this significant 223 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 4: time in America. 224 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, people like doctor Robert Jeffris and Ralph Reid and 225 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: so many others praying earnestly contending. I mean, these are 226 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: tumultuous times. There's a lot going on in the world, 227 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 1: and we don't need less God. We need more God, 228 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: more than ever. And I'm so encouraged by all of that. Bishop, 229 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: just closing thoughts from you, it seems like faith is back. 230 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: Something's really happening. There's a stirring going on. But we've 231 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: got work to do, Bishop, and we don't need people 232 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: sitting on the sidelines. 233 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 3: So we need engagement. 234 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: We need people standing up, showing up, speaking up, getting 235 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: it done. 236 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 4: I agree. I mean, I believe faith is back, and 237 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 4: I believe that God has given the finest hour now 238 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 4: for his church that even in the most conflicting and 239 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 4: dark times is the time where light needs to shine 240 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 4: the most. And I believe that the church needs to 241 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 4: take her proper place in this moment and lift up 242 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 4: the name of Jesus Christ, lift up the hope that 243 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 4: only comes through Jesus Christ, and continue to speak and 244 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 4: share the gospel, because the only good news is that 245 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 4: not only did he die, not only did he get up, 246 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 4: not only did he as sin, but soon he will 247 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 4: return to change all of this and there will be 248 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 4: no more conflict because we'll live. 249 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 5: We live with him forever and ever and every bisious. 250 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: As you were talking, I was thinking about the words 251 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: of the apostle Paul in Romans one sixteen. 252 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 3: For I am not ashamed. Yes of the gospel. 253 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: Yes, for it is the dunamas, the power of God 254 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: under salvation to all that belief special.

It's interesting today's generations seem to be turning 307 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: to God like never before. They're showing up too at church. 308 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: I mean, they're asking a lot of hard questions. People 309 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: are saying, I want God in my life. You're seeing 310 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: college campuses, revivals happening all over the country. 311 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 3: Ted. 312 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: You know you're out there beating the street if you will, 313 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: you speak all over the country. 314 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 3: You're in churches everywhere. What's your sense? What's your feel 315 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 3: about all of it? 316 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 6: Well, it's part of the message that gets lost a 317 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 6: little bit. I love the research out of the Institute 318 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 6: of Family Studies that say seventy eight percent of couples 319 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 6: who regularly attend church together report that they're very happy 320 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 6: or extremely happy in their marriage. I see this revival 321 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 6: breaking out as going to solve a lot of our 322 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 6: marriage problems, our family problems, our work problems, our economy problems. 323 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 6: I see the Lord working in all these areas. I 324 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 6: can feel it in counseling and coaching, and I work 325 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 6: with couples not just around the country, but here at 326 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 6: our church in Branson, Ted. 327 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: I think an estimated two billion people around the world 328 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: are commemorating and celebrating the death. 329 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 3: Bury on resurrection of Jesus. 330 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: Here on Resurrection Sunday, it's also a time where people 331 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: talk a little bit more openly about their faith. They 332 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: begin to ask maybe questions like why did Jesus come, 333 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: Why did he have to die? Did he really die? 334 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: Is the resurrection true? Just some thoughts or reflections from you. 335 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: I know you serve people every day, and I know 336 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: you face those kind of questions instantly. 337 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 4: Yeah. 338 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 6: I always coming to Good Friday each Holy Week. I 339 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 6: think of the words of Jonathan Edwards, who Charles Spurgeon 340 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 6: used the same idea that the unconverted man is hanging 341 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 6: over the mouth of hell but a thread. We're all 342 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 6: deserving of wrath. But this is the cup that Jesus 343 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 6: is talking about when he prays for it to be removed, 344 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 6: but says, but it's not my will, but the Father's will, 345 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 6: and I'm going to follow it. When Peter takes off 346 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 6: the ear, Jesus looks at him and says, shall I 347 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 6: not drink from this cup? And the cup is Jesus 348 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 6: on the cross at that point where he says says, 349 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 6: my God, my God, why have you forsaken me that 350 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 6: many talk about the suffering of Jesus being the most 351 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 6: intense part, but it. 352 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 7: Was that. 353 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 6: Temporary separation from the Father that Martin Luther calls the 354 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 6: Great Exchange, where Jesus takes on the sins of man 355 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 6: and he gives us his righteousness. And then we get 356 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 6: to Easter, and this is the message we proclaim Sunday 357 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 6: that if you will confess with your mouth Jesus's Lord 358 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 6: and believe in your heart that he has been raised 359 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 6: from the dead, you will be saved. And that's the 360 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 6: message of Easter that we celebrate every year. 361 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: Ted some people struggle with the difference between what religion is, 362 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: and people often say that Christianity is not a religion. Really, 363 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: it's a relationship. And what does it mean to have 364 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: a relationship with God? I mean, I just in the 365 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: simplest terms. 366 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, So I every day when I get up, before 367 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 6: my feet hit the floor, I do what Adrian Rodgers 368 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 6: taught us to do. I take my hands like this, 369 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 6: I empty myself. I turn my hands like this and say, 370 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,479 Speaker 6: Lord fill me. I don't know what's going to come 371 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 6: about today. I have plans for today. I have a 372 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 6: schedule for today. But in my walk with You, lead 373 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 6: me to people, lead people to me. As I walk 374 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 6: with you, let me share the good news of the 375 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 6: Gospel with others. And for me, a relationship with God 376 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 6: is being in tune with his work in my life 377 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,479 Speaker 6: each and every day, walking with him knowing that his 378 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 6: plans for me are far greater. And I want to 379 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 6: I'm more of the spontaneous type personality anyway, But my 380 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 6: wife gives me a hard time all the time when 381 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 6: she's at the car as we come out of a 382 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 6: restaurant a store and I'm still in the parking lot 383 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 6: talking to some tourist I've met from Minnesota. I just 384 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 6: I always picture Jesus walking along the way with the 385 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 6: disciples and try to have that image in my head 386 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 6: each and every day as well, like I am walking 387 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 6: with the Lord, who knows what's going to happen today, 388 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 6: who knows what he's going to call me to do. 389 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 6: But I want to be sensitive to his leading in 390 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 6: my life. 391 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: And ted in this journey of life, knowing that God 392 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: is there and that he loves you, that he had 393 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: a play. Really what held Christ on the cross? We 394 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: talk about Good Friday and what happened on Good Friday 395 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 1: was you. 396 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 3: It was you and me. 397 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: Ted was all about us, and it's an expression of 398 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: the love of God, because the Bible is really a 399 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: story of a sacred romance. It's the love of God 400 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: toward us, and so that while we were yet sinners, 401 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: Christ died for us. You're right, He paid our debt 402 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 1: in full, and so as a result, that relationship is everything. 403 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 3: Ted. 404 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: You also traveled the country really trying to strengthen marital relationships, 405 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: and I know you're in the Love and Laughter Tour. 406 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: You bring a lot of comedy into and levity into 407 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: events that probably a little tough because I don't think 408 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: people like showing up necessarily because all you're getting is 409 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: the elbow. 410 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 2: We're in the deal. 411 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 3: That's you, that's us. 412 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: We don't have a healthy marriage. But nevertheless, Ted, in 413 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: the midst of it, while you break down those barriers, 414 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: get people laughing about maybe some of their life journey 415 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: and the insanity of all of it. Ultimately, there's this 416 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: connectedness piece that brings us back in this wiring that says, 417 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: my relationship with God profoundly influences my love and my 418 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: everyday experience with you as my lover and my friend Tim. 419 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 6: I start every event now the same way I start 420 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 6: every counseling session. I don't know how you start counseling sessions, 421 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 6: but I usually ask for what their goals are, like 422 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 6: our time today, at the end, what are you hoping 423 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 6: to get out of it? But I say these same 424 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 6: three things now at the beginning of every event and 425 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 6: every session. Jesus is your source. Satan is your enemy. 426 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 6: Your spouse is your companion. And if you want to 427 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 6: experience high levels of marital satisfaction, don't confuse any of 428 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 6: those three. Don't treat your spouse like the source. Your 429 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 6: marriage has an enemy, make no mistake, it's just not 430 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 6: your spouse. And that's what I love the word picture. 431 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 4: That we have. 432 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 6: Martin Luther said God could have taken a bone from 433 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 6: Adam's head, implying women would rule over men, or a 434 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 6: bone from his foot, implying men. 435 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 3: Would rule over women. 436 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 6: But I love the beautiful word picture of a bone 437 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 6: from his side, this mutual respect to quality. But I 438 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 6: love this word picture, and I picture it every day. 439 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 6: In my marriage with Amy, I'm walking side by side 440 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 6: with her through the grind of light, through the toilsome 441 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 6: labor through difficult seasons and stages, and I refuse to 442 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 6: turn her into my source or to make her the enemy. 443 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 3: Ted. 444 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: I know there are books, volumes of books and all 445 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: kinds of events talking about the culprits, the little foxes 446 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: that spoil our love and relationships. I want I want 447 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: you to talk a little bit about repair and hope. 448 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 3: Ted. 449 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: As we go, we're fighting the clock a little bit. 450 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 1: But I mean a lot of people think, you know what, 451 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: we just aren't. 452 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 3: We aren't made for each other. Hey, we all hit 453 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 3: the wall. 454 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: If you own our relationships, and we've all been staring 455 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: up at the ceiling wondering what in the world have 456 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: I done maybe, or what's happened to us? Ted, talk 457 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: to us about the repair side, the hope side, what. 458 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 6: Was natural early on you need to be intentional with 459 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 6: later on. And this is why a couple married two 460 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 6: three years. They're like, why this worked when we were 461 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 6: first dating, the same thing I say, the same thing 462 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 6: I do. 463 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 3: This brought us together. 464 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 5: This works. 465 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 3: Why is it no longer working? Why? 466 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 6: Because the seasons and stages of life changes, Bills. 467 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 3: Change you, jobs change you. 468 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 6: Chi children will suck the very life right out here right. 469 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 6: I mean all of this changes us. One friend of 470 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 6: mine and minister says, over the course of your marriage, 471 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 6: you're going to be married to five to seven different people, 472 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 6: so as your spouse changes. 473 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 2: Makes sense. 474 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, you just be intentional and tim you know this 475 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 6: my passion for Ecclesiastices nine to nine. 476 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 3: Enjoy life with your wife. I rarely you, rarely hear. 477 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 6: Me say marriage is hard, it's difficult, it's painful. I 478 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 6: remind people marriage requires you to be intentional because it 479 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 6: was like breathing early on in early romantic relationship for 480 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 6: the sparks, the tingles. But after you've been married ten, 481 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 6: twenty thirty forty years, you have to be intentional and 482 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 6: we know this. Do the right thing and feelings will follow. 483 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 6: And that's why I also don't say love is a decision, 484 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 6: not a feeling. I say love is more than a feeling. 485 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 6: It's a decision because there's going to be plenty of 486 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 6: times you're not feeling it, and that's when you got 487 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 6: to lean on the decision. 488 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: Happy you, sir, to you and Amy Ted.

You know, Meg, 530 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: family traditions. My dad, who was a pastor, he loved 531 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: Easter weekend. We made a big deal out of it, 532 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: you know, we had Easter baskets and everything else. And Meg, 533 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: we always had a big Easter dinner and we sat 534 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: down together as a family. 535 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 3: This idea of faith in families, it's so important. 536 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: That we come tother Meg. You've been doing this, You've 537 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: been having these conversations for a long time. Just your 538 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: reflections on Easter and maybe faith and how it should 539 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: impact our families and strengthen our hearts and homes. 540 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 7: Well, Easter's my favorite holiday, and I think it's my 541 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 7: husband's favorite holiday as well. Easter's the one time, aside 542 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 7: from Christmas, when all of our kids get together. It's 543 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 7: very interesting. It isn't for birthdays, but Easter is a 544 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 7: big deal for us. Lent is a big deal. We 545 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 7: spend a lot of time in prayer, reflecting, and so 546 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 7: our kids always knew that Easter was extremely important to us. 547 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 7: We are very solid in our Christian faith. My husband 548 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 7: talks to our kids a lot about scripture and teaching 549 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 7: and what Jesus has done in his life. And I've 550 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 7: tried to do the same thing. 551 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 5: But we do. 552 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 7: Easter is a big deal where we all come together, 553 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 7: we have a lovely meal. Of course, we do the 554 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 7: egg hunts. Sometimes we leave a few of the eggs 555 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 7: empty because when you open up when the kids, we 556 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 7: teach the kids that when you open up an egg 557 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 7: that's empty, it's because the tomb was empty, and so 558 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 7: we emphasize that you know, in the tomb there isn't 559 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 7: always a jelly bean or a dime. You know, often 560 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 7: it's empty because it reminds us that Christ emptied the 561 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 7: tomb for us. So it's a very joyful holiday for us. 562 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 7: And all day we all walk around going, he has 563 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 7: risen And then the response is he's risen in all 564 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 7: day long with anybody in the house. 565 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: Meg, I think I'm gonna add that empty Easter egg 566 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: thing to our Easter egg hunt on Sunday. Yes, yes, 567 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: that'll be That'll be awesome. 568 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 3: Meg. 569 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: You know, in the midst of all this, you have, 570 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: through the year's been a strong voice advocate for that 571 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: relationship between a parent and a child. Yes, dads and 572 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: moms and kids, and that relationship is everything. It really 573 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: affects the trajectory of kids. There's so much and parenting 574 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: isn't for cowards, as doctor Dobson taught both of us 575 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: through the years, and we stand with him on all that. 576 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: But you know, May is Mental Health Awareness month. We're 577 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: coming out with a brand new program on spiritual and 578 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: psychological first aid for youth. But I was just thinking, 579 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: you know, our kids are really getting hammered, decimated. You know, 580 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: this online world is just it's targeting our kids, our daughters, 581 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: and our granddaughters in particular. I mean, they're suffering from 582 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: persistent sadness, even suicidality as a result of all of it. 583 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: This this comparison culture, so much as there meg talk 584 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: to us about the anxiety, the depression, even the suicidality 585 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: you're seeing even in your pediatric care, and some reflections 586 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: on what maybe we should be doing to help save 587 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: our kids. 588 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 7: You know, it's a great concern of mine, and I've 589 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 7: been doing this long enough to have seen this escalation 590 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 7: in both anxiety and depression, not just in teenagers, but 591 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 7: in youngsters ten nine years of age. Our culture has 592 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 7: added a lot to our kids, a lot of challenges. 593 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 7: Social media get they get auditorily and visually bomb barded 594 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 7: every day with messages and ideas and so many things. 595 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 7: And yet so we've added a lot to their lives, 596 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 7: which is bad. But we've also and more importantly, taken 597 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 7: a lot away time with family. Kids don't spend enough 598 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 7: time with their parents face to face. Parents are busy, 599 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 7: kids are busy. We farm them out to a lot 600 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 7: of activities. They don't need activities, they need time with us. 601 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 7: Because it's really the parents who develop their identity and 602 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 7: their character. So if you take time away from parents 603 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 7: for kids, you empty them out. We've also taken faith 604 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 7: away from our kids, not intentionally, but even Christian parents 605 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 7: now are so caught up in making sure that their 606 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 7: kids get enough experience with the sports and the arts 607 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 7: and extracurricular activities that even those who have a strong 608 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 7: faith will leave God behind and allow their kids to 609 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,479 Speaker 7: leave God behind and launch into things that they feel 610 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 7: are important for the kids to keep up with their peers. 611 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 7: And this is an enormous mistake and we need to 612 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 7: really reverse this. So it's really the combination of adding 613 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 7: a lot of bad stuff and noise to our kids' 614 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 7: lives that causes them anxiety and depression and loneliness. But 615 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 7: we've also taken away the various things that counteract all 616 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 7: of those things, and that's time with parents, real solid 617 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 7: relational time. 618 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: Hey, before you go, I know you were part of 619 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,479 Speaker 1: a documentary that released here in the month of March 620 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: this year. He calls me daughter. It was really a documentary, 621 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: faith based documentary exploring how women heal from absent or 622 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: broken earthly father relationships, finding identity and healing through the 623 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: relationship with God as a loving father. Meg special piece 624 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: of work. 625 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 3: Unbelievable. 626 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,719 Speaker 1: It's such a big issue out there. You had a 627 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: very significant part in all this. Talk to us about 628 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: that real quick. 629 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 7: I think that the difficulty that many Christian women have 630 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 7: in relating to God and Christ is his maleness, and 631 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 7: they can't articulate it. They don't want to articulate it 632 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 7: because it makes them look like they don't have a 633 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 7: strong faith. But those women who've been deeply wounded by 634 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 7: a father or a brother during their growing up years 635 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 7: have a mental and spiritual block against relating to God 636 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 7: because of his maleness. And he's very clear he's the Father. 637 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 7: So how do we do with that? I am so 638 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 7: thrilled that this movie came out and was developed because 639 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 7: in my experience, I see thousands of Christian women who 640 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 7: really struggle with a deep intimate relationship with God the 641 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 7: Father because of their history with their own fathers. So 642 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 7: it helps break them free from the pain they carry 643 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 7: from their own fathers, but also opens them up to 644 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 7: the freedom of really experiencing deep intimacy and love with God. 645 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: Well it's not at the box office right now, but 646 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: it is up on streaming right so you can is 647 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: it up streaming on Angel or something. 648 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 7: Right now, it's streaming on Angel. 649 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: Yes, powerful tool brings a lot of help and healing 650 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: to the lives of women who again have been on 651 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: that journey.

And you know, as 696 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 8: a pastor, you have to gear up because we preach 697 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,879 Speaker 8: a whole bunch of services at all of our locations. 698 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 8: And you know, I think spiritually speaking, it really is a. 699 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 5: Moment where we get to do two things. 700 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,879 Speaker 8: Number One, we celebrate the passover, what Christ has done 701 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,479 Speaker 8: by dying on the cross for us I loved him. 702 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 8: In my Eastern message, I always include it is finished 703 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 8: and he has risen together because the resurrection is so 704 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 8: tied into the death of Jesus on the cross, and 705 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 8: it really is the victory. One of the things I 706 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 8: realized years ago is a lot of Christians, Man, we're grateful, 707 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 8: we're forgiven, but we don't realize that the power of 708 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 8: the risen Christ is on the inside of us as believers. 709 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 5: And so man, this is this is. 710 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 8: Probably my favorite week end of the year. So I'm 711 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 8: looking forward to it. And I'm rested up too. 712 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 5: I'm resting there you go. 713 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: A lot of people are saying that faith is back. 714 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: Faith is back in America. There's such a stirring that 715 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 1: seems to be going across the land. Bible cells are up, 716 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 1: We're seeing revivals on college campuses, Steve, what do you 717 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: hear from everyday people? 718 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 3: Where are they? What are what's in their hearts? 719 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 4: Yeah? 720 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 8: I think tim when people came out of COVID, particularly 721 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 8: the younger generation, there was such confusion. There was such 722 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 8: a lack of clarity and unknowns, and people are looking 723 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 8: for something solid, looking for something strong and in the 724 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:08,760 Speaker 8: Holy Spirit. 725 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 5: I believe that revival tide is rising. 726 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 8: We in our own church, our youth and our young adults, 727 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 8: we've seen a surge record attendance, and you're hearing it 728 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 8: all over the world. 729 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 5: In England, we're hearing. 730 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 8: About the Silent Revival and college campuses here in the 731 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 8: United States, and I really believe that God is doing 732 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 8: something unique among young people. 733 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 5: There's a hunger. They're bringing their Bibles, even kids that 734 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 5: look at it on their phones. They're like bringing physical bibles. 735 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 8: I remember when I got saved in the eighties, man, 736 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 8: we'd bring our Bible to church. 737 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 5: They're bringing their notebooks. 738 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 8: There is an unpreceded and hunger for biblical truth. We're 739 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 8: seeing it in our church and I think it's just 740 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 8: characteristic of what God's doing in the earth. 741 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,960 Speaker 5: We're glad to be part of it. As an older person. 742 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 5: I just don't want to mess it up, man. 743 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 8: I want to see these younger people flowing what God's 744 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 8: got going on. 745 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 3: So see if everybody knows too. Though, we've got real. 746 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: Brokenness in culture, especially with our kids, soaring rates of anxiety, depression, 747 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 1: even suicidality. The CDC came up with a report that 748 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: said fifty seven percent of our daughters and granddaughters were 749 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: persistently sad. The CDC also reported up to thirty percent 750 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 1: of her daughters and granddaughters had seriously contemplated suicide. The 751 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: brokenness is profound. We're in a mess. We don't have 752 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: a mental health crisis, we have a mental health disaster. 753 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:32,760 Speaker 1: And Steve, it's also showing up across the board seriously 754 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: and even in leadership. Steve, that's kind of a niche 755 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,839 Speaker 1: of yours. God's called you to something special. But you've 756 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: written a very personal book. It's profound. 757 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 3: I love it. 758 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: It's called Sole Leadership, Rebound from Crisis, Grow in resilience, 759 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 1: and Live from wholeness. Steve, talk to us about the 760 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: message in this book and the timing of it, because 761 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: I think this all comes together as we talk about 762 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 1: the church and faith in culture. 763 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 5: You know, Tim, I really I wrote this book. It 764 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 5: was really an intersection of three parts in my life. 765 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 8: Number one, my own personal trauma story, both prior to 766 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 8: pastoring and then in the pastor. And I think that's 767 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:15,280 Speaker 8: a silent problem with so many leaders that experiencing trauma. 768 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 8: They don't know what it is, they don't know how 769 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 8: to get out of it, how do they navigate it? 770 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 8: And the mental health the crisis that I personally experienced 771 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 8: too walking with leaders, like you said, just pastoring people 772 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 8: walking with leaders, and the fallout, the moral fallout, all 773 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 8: the levels that we see and the unprocessed pain and 774 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,839 Speaker 8: trauma that people have. In three, I did my dissertation 775 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,280 Speaker 8: a number of years ago under a friend of yours, 776 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,879 Speaker 8: doctor coach Tom Mullens, who we. 777 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 5: All love to. 778 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 3: I saw Tom this week. Yeah, yeah, we were hugging 779 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:45,399 Speaker 3: at each other. 780 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 8: He's amazing and so he was my doctoral mentor and 781 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,279 Speaker 8: I remember sitting down with him one day and he said, see, 782 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,360 Speaker 8: why don't you write on you have a passion for leadership, 783 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 8: but in trauma and your own story and how you 784 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 8: walked with so many leaders. And so Tim, really sole 785 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 8: leadership was my doctoral dissertation and I was speaking at 786 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 8: the Bible Museum and John Maxwell, who's a mentor of mine, 787 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 8: and I know that we'll talk a little bit about John, 788 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 8: but he said, see, this needs to be a book. 789 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 8: We want to help you do it for the popular 790 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 8: leadership audience. And there is a crisis. To him, there's 791 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 8: a mental health crisis. And I talk about a statistic 792 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,280 Speaker 8: in there, the high percentage. So much of the mental 793 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 8: health crisis that we're dealing with today is because of 794 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 8: unprocessed trauma. And so I dove right into it into 795 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 8: this book with sole leadership, Steve in. 796 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,879 Speaker 1: At you unpacked trauma and identified what some ninety three 797 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:42,320 Speaker 1: plus percent of leaders have trauma in there in their journey. 798 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: By the way, your past isn't your past if it's 799 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,240 Speaker 1: still affecting your present. 800 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I'm saying. So in the midst 801 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 3: of that, Steve, take us back. You said it was 802 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 3: personal too. 803 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: What starts happening when we carry our pain, our unresolved pain. 804 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll tell you what happened with me. 805 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,240 Speaker 8: Our church exploded in growth for the first six years 806 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 8: from nineteen ninety nine two thousand and five, and we 807 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 8: went through a little storm. I'm speaking a little bit sarcastically. 808 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 8: A big storm, Hurricane Katrina. I didn't realize I know now, 809 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 8: Tim what I didn't know then, but THETSD and what 810 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,360 Speaker 8: it is and how it affects the brain. 811 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 5: I ran for one year on. 812 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 8: Adrenaline in relief recovery, helping people. My own house was affected, 813 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 8: my own personal things were affected. But yet I was 814 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 8: doing what leaders do, high adrenaline, running on it. And 815 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 8: then in two thousand and eight we lost half the church. 816 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 8: Then two thousand and eight we went into a big, 817 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 8: ambitious building campaign. People had come back, big forty million 818 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:49,360 Speaker 8: dollar building campaign. The financial crisis took place, the loan 819 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 8: was pulled. Twenty ten, I'm preaching one Sunday, and it's like, 820 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 8: my gosh, this is what happens when people they have 821 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 8: a breakdown, and I literally preaching. 822 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 5: I thought I can't do that anymore. And I remember 823 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 5: walking to. 824 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 8: The side telling our executive pastor between services, say, man, 825 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 8: I'm done. There's nothing moral. I'm not any ethical lapse. 826 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 8: I just I was emotionally done. They sent me, our 827 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,920 Speaker 8: elder sent me to a counselor in another state. I 828 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 8: guess I didn't want anybody to know you know where 829 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 8: I was living, you know, I don't know, but good men, 830 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 8: my wife was a strong support in that time, and 831 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 8: I began to unpack and that council began to underpack 832 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 8: the cumult of the five year cumulative impact of trauma 833 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 8: in my life and how it had resulted really in 834 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:39,719 Speaker 8: acute stress disorder diagnosis at the time and PTSD as 835 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,360 Speaker 8: well after that. And so it's kind of a I 836 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 8: didn't realize it, Tim, I do now know how many 837 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 8: leaders are dealing with unprocessed trauma. 838 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 5: Again. 839 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 8: That began a journey for me of awareness, symptomology, what's 840 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 8: going on, and all of that became the passion for 841 00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 8: this book Sold. 842 00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,200 Speaker 1: Leadership, Steve, I've always believed this, if you haven't any 843 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 1: value for God, all hell will be against you. If 844 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: your marriage has any value for God, all hell is 845 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 1: going to be against you. If your kids have any 846 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 1: value for God, all hell is going to be against you. Seriously, 847 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,359 Speaker 1: and this is a throwdown. We're in a pulsive we're 848 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 1: in a fight, We're in a war. At the end 849 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 1: of the day, what's amazing here is is you can 850 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 1: learn to become resilient. You can learn about these neuropathways 851 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: and develop healthy brain running if you will, and in 852 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: ways that absolutely change and rewire everything about you and 853 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 1: how you approach life, and so much more by the way, 854 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 1: impacting your relationships everyone around you. That's why leaders Man 855 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 1: is this is so powerful. I can see why John 856 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 1: Maxwell is consumed with it because it makes sense. 857 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:50,399 Speaker 3: It just does. 858 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: Healthy leaders create healthy environments, healthy outcomes, and so much more. Steve, 859 00:44:56,239 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 1: we were at that place here where how to people 860 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,319 Speaker 1: we'll learn more about you and possibly I got this 861 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 1: book sitting on my desk right here. But how can 862 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 1: they get a copy of something like this and we're 863 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:07,839 Speaker 1: a little more about you? 864 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, they can go to Steve Robinson dot com and 865 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,239 Speaker 8: of course you can order that book anywhere books are sold.

It took me about two or three 869 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:22,080 Speaker 5: days to go through it. 870 00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 8: I had a lot of re edits and going back 871 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 8: and back and forth, and so super excited about it. 872 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 5: Tim super excited. What helps some people? 873 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:33,719 Speaker 1: The books Exploding Sole Leadership, Rebound from Crisis, Growing Resilience, 874 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: Live from Holness, Doctor Steve Robinson, Yeah, you need to 875 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 1: get a copy of this, Steve we've got to have 876 00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,280 Speaker 1: you back. We've got to spend some time together unpacking 877 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:47,759 Speaker 1: resilience and post traumatic growth. That area of research is profound, 878 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,240 Speaker 1: and I think it's going to take the church by storm. 879 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 3: Hey, what did you like to have you? Happy Easter, 880 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 3: my friend? Thank you for joining me. 881 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,240 Speaker 5: Thank you, Tim, Come. 882 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:13,040 Speaker 2: Call us Christ by Love's worthy. 883 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 1: Boy, Andy closing, let me say this. What held Christ 884 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 1: on the cross was you. 885 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 3: He loves you. 886 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 1: God wants to have a relationship with you. That's really 887 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,880 Speaker 1: what the Bible is all about. Therefore, the most important 888 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,799 Speaker 1: question in life is simply this, what do you think 889 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:44,279 Speaker 1: of Christ? How you answer that question is everything, whether 890 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,320 Speaker 1: or not you'll spend eternity in heaven with him or 891 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 1: in hell. John three point sixteen says, for God so 892 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,919 Speaker 1: loved the world that he gave as only the godden son, 893 00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: whosoever believeth in him would not perish, but have everlasting life. 894 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 1: And I love what the apostle Paul wrote in Roman, say, two, 895 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 1: he who spared not his own son, how shall he 896 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 1: not with him freely give us all things? 897 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 7: You know. 898 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,120 Speaker 1: The Bible also says this in Hebrews eleven six. So 899 00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,320 Speaker 1: those who come to God must first believe that he 900 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,960 Speaker 1: is and that he's a rewarder of those who diligently 901 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 1: seek him. On this Easter Sunday. If you've never said 902 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: yes to Jesus, why don't you do that right now? 903 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,880 Speaker 1: I want to invite you to know him and to 904 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 1: accept him into your life. The Bible says, whoever calls 905 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,560 Speaker 1: on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Now 906 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,320 Speaker 1: you could do that right now. You simply pray this 907 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,440 Speaker 1: prayer after me, right where you are, Lord Jesus. 908 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 3: I need you. 909 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 1: I know I'm a sinner. I believe you died for 910 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,040 Speaker 1: my sins. I want to turn from my ways and 911 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 1: invite you to come into my heart my life. I 912 00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: want to trust you and follow you as my Lord 913 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 1: and savior. Thank you for loving me, for giving your 914 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 1: life for me.

I pray all this in Jesus' name. 916 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:03,800 Speaker 5: Amen. 917 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,480 Speaker 1: You know what the Bible says Romans ten nine. If 918 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 1: you confess with your mouth that Jesus Lord, and believe 919 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,319 Speaker 1: in your heart that God raised him from the dead. 920 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:16,879 Speaker 1: The Bible says this, you will be saved. The best 921 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 1: thing you do right now if you prayed that prayers 922 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 1: go serve him for the rest of your life.
