How you doing, sir? 58 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: I'm you know so so man, I'm have my phone, 59 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: I phone with all my interviews, but the fact that 60 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: I've been looking at your face man for like I 61 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: think a secutive episode. That's how riveteen, that's how I laughed. 62 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna just tell you about to see it. It 63 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: was dramatic. It was the ladies were empowered. I'm talking 64 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: about the female characters were empowering. Uh. And and it 65 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: just led me to believe that there's something a different 66 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: writing style. Kim Fields was she the primary director. She 67 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: directed a prominent amount of episodes. Kim Fields the actress 68 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: Kim Fiels. She directed four episod Deuce Deuce also directed 69 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: two episodes, and Matt Barnes directed two episodes. So we 70 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: had a great plethora of different visions that all came 71 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: together to make this like cohesive, you know, beautiful masterpiece. Absolutely, 72 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: you hear nothing negative you about this. I'm teaching my laugh. 73 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: I thought that, Uh, I thought Eva, who was the 74 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: star of this show? She is madam? Uh you know. 75 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: I remember I was growing up. It was a movie 76 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: I saw called A Truck Turnup. It was an old 77 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: star like Hayes and and it was a character kind 78 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: of like Mattive. It was played by Lieutenant Hurro from 79 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: Star trek. She was the lead character. I mean she 80 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: didn't take no groulf man. I mean she talks Mack 81 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: and she cuts you out, and it was like it's 82 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: so different from her character, but it was like the 83 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: first time I ever saw a character where a woman 84 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: was like, you know, had a place and showed strength. 85 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: And this let's talk about the mattive character because she 86 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: she's introduced very early on in series, because you meet 87 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: the upfront, talk about that relationship and also your character 88 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: from the standpoint of developing it and being able to 89 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: carry it through this arc. Okay, so that that it 90 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: was first and almost all. I always say to even 91 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: that we have such a great chemistry on camera, and 92 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: um I believe that's because once we got our work 93 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: and we understood what was going on in the entire series, 94 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: we realize that these two characters are more bonding on 95 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: the commonality of pain, meaning that we're both ostracized from 96 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: our families. And the Madam character is such a vital 97 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: and strong character because she's you see a woman where 98 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people in society don't really get to 99 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: see a woman running a business and also be and 100 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: also be a caretaker. And um I always say, the 101 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: beautiful part about this show is that it's not a 102 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: strip of show. It's a show based on humanity. And 103 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: society has this taboo upon non exoetic dancing, and they 104 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: have a taboo on you know, just how certain people 105 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: may get their money, which Madam does. But at the 106 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,119 Speaker 1: same time there's an integrity to Madam when it comes 107 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: to humanity, you know, just really taking not judging people, 108 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: and and taking them in. And I always say the 109 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,679 Speaker 1: silent character of the show is club eating. Club beating 110 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: is a safe haven where all of these social misfits 111 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: come with no judgment and hold each other down. And 112 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: Madam has supplied that, and myself as coming in as 113 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: her um, her nephew, am um. The casting process, it 114 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: was written first and foremost, I have to shout out 115 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: Christian Keys. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Christian Keys, 116 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: because it's based on his book Ladies nighte Um. If 117 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: you didn't know, and Christian wrote all the queens men, 118 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: I think, um, I don't. I don't want to miss 119 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: quote the amount of years, but he wrote it pretty 120 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: probably think about roughly ten years ago. For and the 121 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: Amp character was supposed to be Christian's breakout role. And 122 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: Kristin actually plays the concinerge on All the Queen's Men, 123 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: and he's also executive one of the executive producers, so 124 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: he wrote this character and he told me, he said, 125 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: once I saw your audition tape, that's a that's a 126 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: He's like, it's like, he got it. You understood it. 127 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: And I really did at that time when I auditioned 128 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: for Ampler far audition for Assistance and UM. At that time, 129 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: I wasn't in the one bedroom apartment with two other people, 130 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: and I just understood the circumstances of this kid ruling 131 00:07:54,480 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: to get out of you have have a chance at life, 132 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: like half his piece of the pie. And I did 133 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: not know what went into prison for based on the 134 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: audition side, but what I did, I said, there's something 135 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: about because in the first probably ten minutes of the 136 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: show he runs to apologize, why is he doing that? 137 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: That obviously showed to me that that's not a bad kid. 138 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: That's not a bad kid. That was a kid that 139 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: felt victim the circumstances. So I built this whole back 140 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: story on twenty years old, and all I knew was 141 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: that he came out of prison after nine years I said, 142 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: this is not a bad kid, and and getting this 143 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: series and getting the rest of the scripts, it wasn't. 144 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: He is actually a victim of circumstance from one bad choice. 145 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: And and he's actually an upper class and upper class um, 146 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: upper middle class kid, probably upper class upper class in Atlanta. 147 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: And you know, Atlanta is built on it's the South Um, 148 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: It's built on black x Linson and um. You know, 149 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: a certain level of moral, upper level, moral decorum in 150 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: certain circles. And that is where it comes from. And 151 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: and became a victim of his father's ambition. And a 152 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: lot of times, and a lot of times, as young 153 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: black men or even black man period, we're not allowed 154 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: to feel. We're not allowed to be vulnerable. We're not 155 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: allowed to say, hey, I don't feel okay. We have 156 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: to mask it and we have to just make it work. 157 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: And so amp was always just trying to a piece 158 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: of parents, make his dad proud of him. He's in 159 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: my mind, he was an athlete, a D one athlete, 160 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: coming out of school, high school, full ride, everything, But 161 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: he had a drinking problem. He had a drinking problem. 162 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: That point right there, because of the fact that I 163 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: don't want to veer too much. I want people gotta 164 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: watch you. You're a good talk with that. Scott vest 165 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: the Black.

And the club is filled 172 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: with male dancers. And if you're if you're a fan 173 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: of Magic Mike, you know this is the same thing, 174 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: but it's just African Americans who are The lead character 175 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: is a female, not a male, okay, and her bodyguard 176 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: is a female not a male, okay.

It's 178 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: an empowering show from that standpoint. And this is why 179 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: I really like this series. And this is why because 180 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: I'm older than you and I've been able to see 181 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: television grow from a different perspective, like you know, like finstance, 182 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: mafia movies have always seen to cross over and be accepted. 183 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: You know, the violence, the wholness, the the slickness, the 184 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: family you know, always was brought into And what we've 185 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: seen since power has come on is that now they're 186 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: allowing us to tell our stories. I'm talking about the 187 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: general public, even black people, allowing us to tell our 188 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: stories from a standpoint of pop Okay, I'm sorry, Okay. 189 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: So now they're allowing us to tell our story. And 190 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: that's why I really like this because it has credibility 191 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 1: to it. This is this is no different than you know, 192 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: when when when when when I s Q did players 193 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: long time ago, okay with Bernie Mac But it's but 194 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: it's it's the credibility and the crafting and the styling, 195 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: and the fact that now we don't have precedents, we 196 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: can see things that are like Okay, I can I 197 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: can buy into this. And that's why I really enjoyed Scud. 198 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: I really enjoy your role and enjoy the characters and 199 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: the fact that, man, this is, like you said, it 200 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: is a club filled with misfits, but they're relatable misfits. 201 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: But because they all caught up into a world that 202 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: they kind of trapped in. They can leave, but they trapped. 203 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and and and because people care for them too. Yeah, 204 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: it's it's it's like a family atmosphere. And I'll go back. 205 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: I'll go back to what you said. Um, as far 206 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: as you know, Madam being Madam and being Am usually 207 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: the kid comes out.

And that 336 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: one line shows you who am bigs. He really, really, 337 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: really is a goal getter and he's gonna make it happen. 338 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: But he still has this underlying just morality thing like 339 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it, but going to do it by enemies, necessary, 340 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,239 Speaker 1: gonna sacrifice, and I want to do it right right. 341 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: But she also asked you. She also comes back and 342 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: ask you, this is what you really want? Okay? Yeah, 343 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: she challenges you because she said, once you get in, 344 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: you're not gonna want to go back, and there's a 345 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: lot of work. She reminds you that there is still work. 346 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: It looks good. It's it's work to entertain, it's work 347 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: to make them develop this clientele. That's the beauty of 348 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: this whole conversation is that no matter what you do 349 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: in life. That's why I was able to take portions 350 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: of the story and applied. If you want to be 351 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: a banker, if you want to be an engineer, you 352 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: want to go to college, it's if that's what you 353 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: want to do, you you point your life in that direction, 354 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: work is tied to it.

Despite setbacks, being homeless three times, being 356 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: in a place with living with two people and on 357 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: one bed room, which are similar to the halfway house, 358 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: or you had no problem with somebody is sleeping in 359 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: the room with you because that was a familiar consciousness. 360 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: That's why I feel comfortable with your character now that 361 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: it is out.

So it was incredible. I personally, 454 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: I like that way. I don't want to come back 455 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: to the way that well, you know, the thing about 456 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: watching your character, watching you develop and uh, first of all, 457 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna do my duty, you know, and tell 458 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: im I'm anna feature on my Motivational Monday segment because 459 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: your story is a as a dancer and h ballet 460 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: training with Mr Copeland U the famous ballet living based 461 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 1: out of New York, you know, being able to share 462 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: the state the lime lights already have been there. But 463 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: I want to just talk about making that transition because 464 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 1: sometimes we get focused in this is what I do, 465 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: and then somebody comes along into your life and say, 466 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: you know you can do more, and then but sometimes 467 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: that doubt comes into our lives and say why are 468 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: you are well? Because that means that you're you're going 469 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: into an unknown and that's what stops people in the unknown. Part. Now, 470 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: Debbie Allen came into your life and push you talk 471 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: about that, and so people who are listening and watching 472 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: the show, can I understand the value of people seeing 473 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: a person's greatness and then asking them to act on it. Yeah. So, um, 474 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: some years ago when I um, when I used to 475 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: ask a rid carry Mrs Allen was the artistic director 476 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: and choreographer and even before that I had does I 477 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: work with her? And she slipped at me and she said, honey, 478 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: you're an actor. I'm gonna make you an actor. And 479 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: I said, now, you're not. That's not me. She said, honey, 480 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: you don't know who you are yet, and she was 481 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: so right, and she literally from the beginning, she took 482 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: me under her wing and she gave me parts in 483 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: her stage plase, and it was it became this kind 484 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: of like, oh, this is cool. But then with the 485 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: training and everything like that, I started to find this 486 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: kind of I'll be honest, it became an obsession for me. 487 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: And sometimes I always put God first, and that's just me. 488 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to surrender to what you think you 489 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: want and follow what will God has for you in 490 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: your life. And I always say when I pray, specifics 491 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: matter because I remember being a kid and I was like, 492 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: I want to be on TV. I want to be 493 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: a star, I want to do it up and actually 494 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: I wanted to sing. But when I prayed, I prayed, 495 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: I said, I want to be on TV and that 496 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: was my destiny.

When I moved to Los 640 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: Angeles and I walked down and so the Chinese Man Theater, 641 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: and so the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and then the 642 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: Santa Monica Beaches, it is so resonated in my life 643 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 1: that it had an emotional pool to me, and I 644 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 1: went wow. I didn't realize how much it had an 645 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: effect on me. And I only say that because being 646 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: a man who preaches the word of God and then 647 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: it shares these blessings and come in some words, that 648 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,040 Speaker 1: allows us to understand these blessings by to your teachings. 649 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:42,800 Speaker 1: Going to Israel has to have an amazing emotional pool 650 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 1: to you correct, well, absolutely. In fact, what we're trying 651 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: to do is get people to join me and the 652 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 1: experience that I and my family had when we were there. 653 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,760 Speaker 1: I mean, you're watching the Bible come off the page 654 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: and become a living experience in your life. It's one 655 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: thing to know about the Lord, it's another thing to 656 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: experience the Lord. And this this documentary was designed to 657 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: bring people into a visual experience of the Lord, where 658 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,960 Speaker 1: he did what he did, where he lived, where he 659 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,360 Speaker 1: demonstrated his glory, where he did his miracles, where he 660 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 1: taught his lessons, so that you are entering into the 661 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: moment and it becomes a dynamic reality rather than a 662 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: theoretical informational session. Well, you know, it's like one of 663 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: my favorite shows of TV is Aerial America. You know 664 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 1: that show that shows the world from a visual uh 665 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: from the ten thousand square feet high in the air. 666 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: You look down, you get a perspective of the power 667 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: of of of the world that we don't appreciate sometimes. 668 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: And when I when from the very opening. I went wow, 669 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,279 Speaker 1: I felt a strong presence to this series. What was 670 00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 1: what was the story you was trying to tell visually? 671 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: Dr Tony Evans with Journey with Jesus, Because there are 672 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,320 Speaker 1: two stories. There's an oral story, but the visual story 673 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,439 Speaker 1: I think play of important role to tell us about that. Well, 674 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: what we tried to do is combine the sites with 675 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:14,879 Speaker 1: the sound. You know, when you look at the TV, 676 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 1: you don't just want to hear the hear the sound. 677 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: You want to picture, but you don't want to picture 678 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 1: without the sounds. We want to site and sound. So 679 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: what we tried to do with show where Jesus was 680 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: what happened there give you the truth of scripture, while 681 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: we gave you the visual context of where that particular 682 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,760 Speaker 1: passage or that particular truth took place. So you're seeing 683 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: what you're hearing and not just hearing what you're hearing. 684 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: And so we did that with each of the sites. 685 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: Many people have never been to Israel, uh and you 686 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: can't go right now very easily, and so this way 687 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: they can, they can go onto Jesus Journey and join us. 688 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 1: As we went on to Jesus Journey, we talked about 689 00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: seven people with us who went on the journey with us. 690 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: I thought was, but why limit this the seven hundred? 691 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 1: Why don't we film it so people who can't go 692 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 1: Heaven gone, or need to need to go again can 693 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: can join the Evans clan in this journey. And so 694 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,879 Speaker 1: it was an exciting thing to be able to give 695 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: people what we were seeing and let them see it 696 00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: at the same time we were seeing it. Well, you know, 697 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,720 Speaker 1: let's talk about that whole journey, because it's an emotion. 698 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: It was. It was funny when I watched you always 699 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: looked like you were stepping down into something. You was 700 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: always stepping down, you know. Is that the way just 701 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,839 Speaker 1: the natural the natural architect or high everything is laid 702 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 1: out because you was always going down, down, stepping down 703 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: into into some hollow chamber until some some room or 704 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 1: some some some space. So talk about that whole architecture. 705 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: Dr Tony Evans. Well, of course you have a lot 706 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: of rolling areas in the in the Holy Land, and 707 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:56,320 Speaker 1: then of course in many places they built monuments to 708 00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 1: what happened or what is believed to have happened on 709 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,880 Speaker 1: Mathotis to the site, and then giving a space for 710 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 1: people to gather, they created steps for you to enter 711 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 1: into that area because over time things have been uh, 712 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: things have been built up. So this allows you to 713 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 1: to to to flow with the topolophy in the land 714 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,360 Speaker 1: while at the very same time being in a place 715 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: where you can gather large groups of people to hear 716 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,240 Speaker 1: the teaching that's taking place, uh relative to the site 717 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: and location in which you are focusing on. How many 718 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,760 Speaker 1: times have you been there? Because I, let's heard Priscilla 719 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: said one other time you win and when you first 720 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,200 Speaker 1: day you came back and just told the family your 721 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,360 Speaker 1: experience and all that time. How many times have you 722 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 1: been to Israel? Dr Tony Evans, I've been there about 723 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 1: five times. We uh we lead a group on a 724 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 1: semi regular base history throughout National Ministry, the Urban Alternative 725 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 1: and uh people who want to go with us and 726 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: hear the teachings and see the sites and so so yeah, 727 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: this was but each time is a fresh experience and 728 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 1: each time there is new inspiration that comes because you 729 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: are you, you know, you in the spot there. Well 730 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: you know I know it. You know that, Like I 731 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: said that when I when I think about it, I 732 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: remember when I was in New York, I was going 733 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,879 Speaker 1: up to be a stand up comedian, and like I came, 734 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,800 Speaker 1: I was. I came out of the subway of forty 735 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 1: second and I came out of that subway knowing this 736 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: is what I wanted to be, knowing this the place 737 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: I wanted. I just felt power. I felt this rush 738 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 1: of emotion that Wow, I'm actually here and I'm fulfilling 739 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 1: my dreams. And so going to Israel for the very 740 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 1: first time for you had to be fulfilling the dream 741 00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 1: as well. Dr Tony Evans talk to us about that 742 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 1: very first time because each time you your eyes see more, 743 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, because things slow down. But that first time 744 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: it's all emotion, and then you when you get back, 745 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,880 Speaker 1: you start recollecting and say, I wish I would have 746 00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 1: done this. Talk about that first time you'll visit to Israel. Well, 747 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:05,399 Speaker 1: the first time is exciting anticipation because you know where 748 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: you're going, but you don't know all that you're gonna see, 749 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 1: and you don't know how it will affect you. But 750 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 1: you know because you've never been that it is something 751 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:20,280 Speaker 1: to look forward to. So there's great anticipation that first time. 752 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,800 Speaker 1: So you kind of get hit with a while bang 753 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,240 Speaker 1: you know, you you know, everything becomes an aha moment. 754 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 1: You're in the first experience. But it's like studying the Bible. 755 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 1: When you go back to the passage that you've preached before, 756 00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,319 Speaker 1: new things emerged that you didn't see the first time 757 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: you studied it or preached from it. So the first 758 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 1: time I visited Israel bam. But now every time afterwards, 759 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,359 Speaker 1: I'm trying to go deeper, see more experience, more so 760 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 1: that I can build on top of that first time 761 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 1: layers of excitement about who Jesus is, what he did, 762 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 1: and what he still can do. Right, You're interesting talking 763 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,840 Speaker 1: about because you know, when you talk about God, you 764 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 1: talk about Jeez, you talk about anything that's historical or biblical. 765 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 1: Television and movies have their own versions of it, and 766 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 1: so their own versions can be big, overwhelming, and so 767 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: like I remember when I went to France and I 768 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,839 Speaker 1: went to London and I started, I said, that's not 769 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 1: that big. How many people didn't get in this little 770 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,279 Speaker 1: small area? Did any of the the ay that the 771 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:29,240 Speaker 1: dimensions of the size where events were held, uh become 772 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,400 Speaker 1: understated When you actually was there live you went, Wow, 773 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,960 Speaker 1: this is not what I expected, but you still were 774 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,319 Speaker 1: inspired by it. Well, yeah, number that first of all, 775 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,840 Speaker 1: the land of Israel is very compact. People are living 776 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: very close together, you know. You know, you you think 777 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna be driving a long way and you're going 778 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: across the street and you're a whole another you know. Uh. So, 779 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 1: so that is a lot of it. Some places of 780 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: further than others, but a lot of it's come back. 781 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: So that that caught my attention. And then when you 782 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 1: look at the sites, for example, when we went to 783 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 1: Peter's house, because they are the architecture, uh and the 784 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 1: archaeological digs came to Peter's Peter's home and they were 785 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 1: able to identify it. And so when you when you 786 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 1: went there and you saw what what a house structure 787 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,799 Speaker 1: would look like back then it you know, and you 788 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,839 Speaker 1: didn't have a picture of that before. It just said 789 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,800 Speaker 1: the Bible just tells you Peter's house. They don't describe 790 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,319 Speaker 1: Peters house. So then you get to see it and 791 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it shows you how different our 792 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,320 Speaker 1: lives are the day from what they were experiencing back 793 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 1: two thousand years ago. So yes, you you you you 794 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: get a lot of surprises. But because of the inspiration 795 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:51,320 Speaker 1: tied to the surprise, you are you are invigorated a 796 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 1: fresh each time. You know. Interesting thing. I come from Houston, Texas, 797 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 1: like I said earlier, born in the inner city. You know, 798 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 1: a fear for you know. So six sisters, two brothers. 799 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,759 Speaker 1: Father was a truck driver, a third grade education. Mom 800 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,319 Speaker 1: graduated from high school. So well, we didn't, but they 801 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 1: were very important in my life because they made sure 802 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 1: we stayed focused and uh and also enable us to 803 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: live the life that they felt that we could if 804 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,240 Speaker 1: they if they, if we all did the right things. 805 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,839 Speaker 1: And in this and in this visual sermon, I like 806 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 1: to call it journey, the journey with Jesus because it's 807 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,839 Speaker 1: so beautiful and it and you get to hear Dr 808 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 1: Tony Evans preach, You get to hear from his family, 809 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,359 Speaker 1: his amazing the children, and see his wife. You know 810 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 1: that it is too Daddy and that's the nickname for 811 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 1: your father in Baltimore. And it talks about how early 812 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:47,359 Speaker 1: on things can be shaped and that shape can lead 813 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,640 Speaker 1: to a different paths. I would say we live a 814 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,359 Speaker 1: fork and a roll, and everybody lives in the fork. 815 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,479 Speaker 1: I always say that to myself. Then we all lives 816 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:54,839 Speaker 1: in the fark and a world left the right because 817 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 1: You can never just stay down in the middle. You 818 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,840 Speaker 1: have to make a decision. And your father made the 819 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,800 Speaker 1: decision for you. Talked about how that impacted you because 820 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,040 Speaker 1: it's discussed in Journey with Jesus, and I'm sure it's 821 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,440 Speaker 1: relatable to a lot of people who would see for 822 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: the very first time. Well, yeah, my father came to 823 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:16,239 Speaker 1: faith when he was about thirty years old, and and 824 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 1: that forever changed the trajectory of our home. He brought 825 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,840 Speaker 1: he brought Jesus Christ and every element of our family. It, 826 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: I mean, our family was turned inside out. He transferred 827 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,439 Speaker 1: that faith to his children, to to my mother first 828 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 1: and then to his children. We adopted that faith as 829 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,800 Speaker 1: our own. That gave us a foundation as a family 830 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,399 Speaker 1: that was fraying before then that was now being solidified 831 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:48,800 Speaker 1: and becoming solid. And so now his grandchildren, his great grandchildren, 832 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,840 Speaker 1: and now his great great grandchildren have seen that faith 833 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,160 Speaker 1: transferred to them. And it shows our one man who 834 00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:00,279 Speaker 1: makes the right commitment as a legacy that can last 835 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,000 Speaker 1: hundreds of years. And so we hope to just keep 836 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,799 Speaker 1: that legacy rolling and going and uh. And that's what 837 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 1: we need, particularly from men today in our culture, because 838 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 1: too many families don't have a legacy to build on, 839 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 1: and that is because of the absentee is too many fathers. 840 00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,400 Speaker 1: So I have the privilege of having a father grounded 841 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,399 Speaker 1: in faith and who was not ashamed to transfer. We'll 842 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: be right back with more money making conversation with the 843 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 1: founder and pastor of Oak Clip Bible Fellowship, Dr Tony Evan. 844 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 1: Adoption of teams from foster care is a topic not 845 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,440 Speaker 1: enough people know about, and we're here to change that. 846 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 1: I'm April Denuit, the host of the new podcast Navigating Adoption, 847 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,880 Speaker 1: presented by adopt Us Kids.

This is Roshan McDonald. Welcome back to 869 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,880 Speaker 1: money making conversations. As I continue my conversation with founder 870 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,280 Speaker 1: and Pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, Dr Tony Evidence, 871 00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,680 Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about that legacy. You know, because two 872 00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 1: of your children, you know, I've had the privilege of 873 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:20,440 Speaker 1: interviewing your son, Anthony Evans Junior, tremendous singer performed on 874 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:24,120 Speaker 1: the Voice. And Priscilla Shire, you know she was I 875 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,480 Speaker 1: interviewed when she was doing the movie The Overcomer. Now 876 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 1: you know, very good actress, great motivational speaker, and it 877 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 1: was it was funny because hey, Loupe, Loupe, I love it. 878 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,320 Speaker 1: I love it. I love it and uh and and 879 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,319 Speaker 1: and so the beauty of that because that was an 880 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 1: emotional moment because I saw the movie and uh and 881 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,080 Speaker 1: role in it, and and I realized that you guys 882 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,440 Speaker 1: moved forward with as a family. But I wanted to 883 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:59,239 Speaker 1: bring that up because relationships make people do things. And 884 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,840 Speaker 1: it's a very signior thinking matter my having a relationship, 885 00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 1: whether it's interviewed or Anthony, we relate through food. And 886 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 1: Loopy's restaurant was our bond and and we laugh about it. 887 00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,400 Speaker 1: I brought it to you off are you go, yes, Loupe, Loope, 888 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,680 Speaker 1: that's our place. That is what life is about, bonding 889 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:19,120 Speaker 1: people together. That's what the ministry is about, bonding people 890 00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:23,359 Speaker 1: together and making things relatable. Is am I correct? Oh? Absolutely? Uh. 891 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 1: One of the goals of the of doing the film 892 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 1: was not only to connect us closer with the Lord, 893 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,680 Speaker 1: but to connect us people closer with each other. And 894 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,480 Speaker 1: family is the first place of connectivity. And so families 895 00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,160 Speaker 1: can have a shared faith, they can have a shared anchor, 896 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 1: and when that anchor is lost and the frame starts, 897 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,279 Speaker 1: then the repercussions of a negative legacy begins to take 898 00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,439 Speaker 1: place rather than a positive legacy. So if this film 899 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 1: can be used to bring people strengthen their faith but 900 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 1: strengthen their connectivity around their faith, then becomes a double 901 00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:01,239 Speaker 1: win all the way around. Absolutely absolutely, And you know, 902 00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,200 Speaker 1: you know for people who see his own podcast and 903 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,240 Speaker 1: also played out on YouTube and visual, you know, Priscilla 904 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 1: came into the picture. You know, she did the same 905 00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 1: thing and the documentary she walks on stage. No, she 906 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 1: has no business being on the stage. So she used 907 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,960 Speaker 1: to just popping in and in and feed with the 908 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:22,760 Speaker 1: float of everything. So but that makes all right, Dr Tony, 909 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:28,000 Speaker 1: That's how she rolls, right. Well, now she's featured a 910 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,799 Speaker 1: lot from a start, almost like a co host in 911 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,560 Speaker 1: some ways, Priscilla is in this process. Why was that 912 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,360 Speaker 1: important to have her voice because it allowed her to 913 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:41,400 Speaker 1: pull certain emotions, pull certain answers out of it, especially 914 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 1: uh certain areas that you guys were speaking talking about 915 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,719 Speaker 1: her role in this particular documentary, Journey with Jesus, which 916 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:53,399 Speaker 1: was filmed in Israel. Well, her role was to walk 917 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:57,040 Speaker 1: with me because we didn't want to have that family connectivity. 918 00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,879 Speaker 1: We wanted this not to be me, but we wanted 919 00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:03,480 Speaker 1: to show relationally. I mean, my late wife was there. 920 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,960 Speaker 1: You know, Anthony did the music, So there was a 921 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,880 Speaker 1: bonding that took place, and so we wanted to show 922 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,360 Speaker 1: pieces of that as part of the documentary so that 923 00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 1: people would see our faith is personal, but it should 924 00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 1: be shared on a familial level. And so uh so 925 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:27,759 Speaker 1: she likes to talk. No, no, you don't like she 926 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:29,520 Speaker 1: got it from doc. I got it from your doc. 927 00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,200 Speaker 1: Come on, now, I got it from you. Apple doesn't 928 00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,600 Speaker 1: fall from from the tree. What can we say? I like, 929 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,800 Speaker 1: I say, it's a beautiful thing. Now, this whole process, 930 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,360 Speaker 1: and I just want to be um. I wanted to 931 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,719 Speaker 1: have fun with this interview. I wanted to be how 932 00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna be an honest intervise that's how you roll. 933 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,080 Speaker 1: But more importantly, you get to see if the Bible 934 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,920 Speaker 1: come to life. I can am I saying that accurately 935 00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:56,359 Speaker 1: about this journey. The Bible is not just a word 936 00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,760 Speaker 1: about God. It is the voice of God in print. 937 00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 1: But whenever the verbal can become visual, sever you can 938 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:08,839 Speaker 1: see what you're learning, it then establishes itself in your 939 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,720 Speaker 1: mind and heart. At a deeper level. So we wanted 940 00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:15,319 Speaker 1: to help the Bible to become alive in the experience 941 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 1: of the of the reader by giving them a visual 942 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 1: to go alongside with the verbal. I'm gonna ask you 943 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:27,320 Speaker 1: a question. Maybe maybe it is. It's a thing about 944 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,359 Speaker 1: finding yourself. You know, Like I always tell people are 945 00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 1: all my life, Dr Tony Evans. People always said I 946 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,920 Speaker 1: was special, I was unique. I was and I really 947 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,279 Speaker 1: didn't understand what they was talking about that And I 948 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,040 Speaker 1: always tell people went into my authorities that I accepted, 949 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,399 Speaker 1: I accepted responsibilities of being who I was. For Sean 950 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 1: McDonald that things that would happen if we wasn't luck. 951 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 1: It was tied to hard work. It was tied to, 952 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:54,120 Speaker 1: you know, understanding the value of my responsibilities. I found 953 00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,480 Speaker 1: out who I was and I started to live my life. 954 00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 1: Can you answer this question, this is the question that 955 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:03,319 Speaker 1: can be ansid. What do you think Jesus realized he 956 00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:08,920 Speaker 1: was Jesus, Well, you have you have the dynamic of 957 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,840 Speaker 1: what we call it theology, the hypostatic union, which is 958 00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:17,040 Speaker 1: two natures in one person, unmixed forever. So Jesus went 959 00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,560 Speaker 1: through the natural growth. The Bible says he grew in 960 00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:24,920 Speaker 1: statue and grew in learning. So that was the human 961 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,800 Speaker 1: growth of his humanity like any child would have, but 962 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,960 Speaker 1: it was married to deity. So you have two things 963 00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,800 Speaker 1: always happening at the same time in the life of Jesus. 964 00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 1: Natural humanity perfectly developing, while deity is forever formed. So 965 00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,320 Speaker 1: both are happening at the same time. Because his nature 966 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,319 Speaker 1: has never got mixed. They stayed distinct, but within the 967 00:55:53,360 --> 00:56:00,120 Speaker 1: same person. Wow, deepo in there you you go. Indeed, Well, 968 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 1: all I'm saying is that when you're going the Journey 969 00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,320 Speaker 1: with Jesus, well this documentary, they're gonna be in the 970 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,080 Speaker 1: theater No. Fifteen through seventeen, They're gonna be a whole 971 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,480 Speaker 1: lot of people talking at that theater thinking deep sir, 972 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:13,280 Speaker 1: because I'm ibould tell you, never tell you why, because 973 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,920 Speaker 1: you know, I the popularity of my show is that 974 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 1: I just do real, natural interviews. I have no agenda. 975 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 1: I'm learning. I asked questions. I think that everybody wants 976 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,640 Speaker 1: to ask questions when they sit down and talk to you, 977 00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,200 Speaker 1: just like I said when when the Jesus realized he 978 00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 1: was Jesus. Because it's through life, you know, we always 979 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:31,279 Speaker 1: try to come to a point where we have to 980 00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 1: accept the responsibility for what we what we are. And 981 00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,840 Speaker 1: when you talk about the Bible, you're talking about good news, 982 00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,879 Speaker 1: and then we talk about gospel, and then we talked 983 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 1: about good news. So what is good news and what 984 00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:50,000 Speaker 1: is gospel? Well, the good news for the world gospel 985 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,760 Speaker 1: Greek word is uh hugh on gillian, which means good news, 986 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,480 Speaker 1: and the gospel is good news against the backdrop of 987 00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,759 Speaker 1: bad news. The bad news is need to appreciate the 988 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 1: good news, you gotta to understand the bad news. The 989 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,560 Speaker 1: bad news is that sinful men are separated from a 990 00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:11,799 Speaker 1: holy God. And all mankind were sinful at various expressions 991 00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,360 Speaker 1: of it. But we all have fallen short of God's 992 00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,920 Speaker 1: standard of perfection. That's the bad news. It's really bad 993 00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:22,240 Speaker 1: news because God can't accept imperfection in his presence. So 994 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:26,840 Speaker 1: that makes the good news awesome news because God has 995 00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,320 Speaker 1: come up with a way to grant us a credit 996 00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 1: report of perfection. What happens when the person comes to Christ. 997 00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,840 Speaker 1: They get to piggyback on Jesus's credit report and says, 998 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:42,760 Speaker 1: Jesus's credit report is perfect credit. When you accept Jesus, 999 00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,120 Speaker 1: you get a perfect credit score. Even though you and 1000 00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:48,880 Speaker 1: I are imperfect, because God allows the righteousness of Christ 1001 00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,360 Speaker 1: to be transferred to us. And that makes good news, 1002 00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,920 Speaker 1: awesome news for all who are willing to respond to well, 1003 00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,040 Speaker 1: you know, the beauty of family. And I will bringing 1004 00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 1: this up a because I, you know, Atlanta have a 1005 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,960 Speaker 1: business and I have a one daughter. She goes to 1006 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,840 Speaker 1: the University of Houston and she was in turning this 1007 00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:11,320 Speaker 1: summer and I was every day she walked in and 1008 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:13,960 Speaker 1: went home where I was happy. I was proud because 1009 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 1: she was. You know, you want to create legacies. You 1010 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,040 Speaker 1: want to want to your children to live the life 1011 00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,080 Speaker 1: and respect the things that you're doing. To have your 1012 00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:25,800 Speaker 1: children work on this project. Just just slow it down 1013 00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:30,160 Speaker 1: and just talk about how that reacted to you now 1014 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:34,360 Speaker 1: that your wife and their mother's gone, and how it 1015 00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:36,440 Speaker 1: was important that they was they were a part of 1016 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,720 Speaker 1: We talked about Priscilla being the co host and Anthony 1017 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,080 Speaker 1: he's doing the music, but the fact that they were 1018 00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:46,240 Speaker 1: there were important on this journey. Talk about well, you know, 1019 00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,000 Speaker 1: family is a big deal. It's a big deal in 1020 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,480 Speaker 1: the Bible, it's a big deal in history, and it's 1021 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:54,440 Speaker 1: a big deal for culture. Uh, you know, whoever owns. 1022 00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,960 Speaker 1: The family owns the future. The saga of a nation 1023 00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,360 Speaker 1: is the saga of his family's written large. You down 1024 00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 1: the family, you destroyed the society. So the fact that 1025 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:07,000 Speaker 1: we could do this as a family allowed us to 1026 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:13,480 Speaker 1: understore visually how critical family is to the legacy of faith. 1027 00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:15,560 Speaker 1: We didn't just want to preach it and say it. 1028 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,480 Speaker 1: We wanted people to see it. So it's very critical. Well, 1029 00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:22,400 Speaker 1: you know, Jesus walked on water. You were preaching on water. Uh. 1030 00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:30,480 Speaker 1: You you were preaching on and uh and just being creative. 1031 00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,960 Speaker 1: The whole process of being able to pull that together. 1032 00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 1: You know, you guys are producers. You have uh people 1033 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:40,360 Speaker 1: out there that just to make sure everybody got that experience, 1034 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,240 Speaker 1: because like you said, it was seven d eight hundred 1035 00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,720 Speaker 1: people who came on this journey with you guys, and 1036 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,840 Speaker 1: you got to do uh sermons and certain very historical 1037 00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:52,560 Speaker 1: locations and things like that. Talk about that experience. And 1038 00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:56,400 Speaker 1: we're talking with Dr Tony Evans Journey with Jesus documentary 1039 00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,440 Speaker 1: and over the fifteenth to the seventeen and being selected theaters. 1040 00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,680 Speaker 1: But more importantly, as I asked these questions with him, 1041 01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,360 Speaker 1: I moved by the fact that the movie moved me. 1042 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,400 Speaker 1: It allowed me to see things I had never seen 1043 01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,280 Speaker 1: in my life. Dr Tony Evans. It allowed me to 1044 01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 1: slow down and appreciate my life. Dr Tony Evans. And 1045 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:21,680 Speaker 1: more importantly, God, you share some good news with me. Well, 1046 01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:25,800 Speaker 1: the good news, the good news of Jesus Christ is hope. 1047 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 1: You sir, open time and hope for eternity. That's that's 1048 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:35,160 Speaker 1: twice hold, you know, and we understand the hope that 1049 01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,200 Speaker 1: comes in Christ in spite of the realities of circumstances. 1050 01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:40,480 Speaker 1: And when you're able to experience that yourself and then 1051 01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:43,640 Speaker 1: bring your loved ones into that, then it creates a 1052 01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:47,000 Speaker 1: whole new perspective of how you move in the future. 1053 01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 1: And so much confusion today, so many pandemics today, so 1054 01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 1: much conflict today. People need to see some hope. And 1055 01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,400 Speaker 1: so it is I hope that the journey with Jesus 1056 01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 1: will give people a sense that all is not lost 1057 01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 1: in spite of how bad things look, because what comes 1058 01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:08,080 Speaker 1: with Jesus is a whole bunch basket full. Oh well, 1059 01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:10,000 Speaker 1: you know, first of all, I like everybody, this is 1060 01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:15,400 Speaker 1: not a a touristy movie. Uh. This is uh, this 1061 01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 1: is a journey and that's a that's different terminology. And 1062 01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,160 Speaker 1: but one thing that I always know that um, I 1063 01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,080 Speaker 1: mean when I went to South Africa, because you always 1064 01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:28,040 Speaker 1: have these images of black people, even black people, skinny 1065 01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,240 Speaker 1: black people, flies, just just just a darkness that sits 1066 01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:34,400 Speaker 1: over Africa. And so when you see on TV look 1067 01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,480 Speaker 1: at it Israel, you think about this bombings and and 1068 01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,800 Speaker 1: danger and talk about that experience because I felt a 1069 01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:43,680 Speaker 1: sense of calm and your journey. I didn't fee any 1070 01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:48,280 Speaker 1: I didn't sense any fear on uncertainty. But that's what 1071 01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:52,840 Speaker 1: we get on TV. Absolutely well. You know that's what 1072 01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,560 Speaker 1: makes news. You know, the all the negatives stuff, and 1073 01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:00,200 Speaker 1: there's reality into a lot of the negative stuff. That's see, 1074 01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,160 Speaker 1: that's the beauty that when we journeyed with Jesus, we 1075 01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:07,200 Speaker 1: journeyed in peace. Yes, in a country where there is 1076 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:12,960 Speaker 1: conflict and and uh and and and people coming at 1077 01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,600 Speaker 1: each other, we were in a place of peace. So 1078 01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:19,040 Speaker 1: guess what Jesus says. He says, uh, in me, you 1079 01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:22,800 Speaker 1: in the world, you're gonna have tribulation. In me, you 1080 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,720 Speaker 1: will have peace because I've overcome the world. That's what 1081 01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,960 Speaker 1: the journey of Jesus gives you. A whole bunch of peace. 1082 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:32,040 Speaker 1: His new documentary explores the ministry of Christ is called 1083 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,680 Speaker 1: Journey with Jesus, shot on location in Israel.
