00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: which works out great. Another cool thing that's going on

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: today is the EEE Apparel military launch, first ever time

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: we've ever done at gee we've done a military launch,

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: and we thought it'd be appropriate right before Memorial Day

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: to put out this new military gear from ye And

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: in fact, we're gonna we're gonna go over there to

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: the Yege farm right now and talk to Tyler Parker

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: to brothers there they are. If you're watching what's up fellas'.

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: So man, what's going on?

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: So tell us about this military launch for the first time.

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, like six months ago people were reaching out saying

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 3: they wish we had more military stuff and realized that

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 3: we'd never done a military launch before, and I figured

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 3: May the more all day weekend could be a good

25
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: time to do it. And so we were able to

26
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 3: partner with Folds of Honor and give a portrait proceeds

27
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: back to them. So we designed five new shirts through

28
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 3: new Hats, a bracelet three pack, and I'm excited.

29
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: This is this is one of those those cool.

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 3: Launches that supporting a good cause and like aligns with

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 3: with what our people wanted.

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, me and Tyler are wearing a shirt from it

33
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: right there.

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: This is good.

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: It's good stuff, man, it's cool stuff. Todd Parker, were

36
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: you the one that designed these shirts? Because I wasn't

37
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: part of it.

38
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: Actually, Tyler and I both usually come up with a

39
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: bunch of different concepts and then Tyler's usually win, so

40
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: most of them were him. And then I think the

41
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,639
Speaker 3: red shirt, the red sh sure it was me, Okay,

42
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: design the hat I have on Todgers in the design

43
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: the hat he has on.

44
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: Stranger.

45
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 4: Why don't you tell people a little bit about your military,

46
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 4: your love for the military, and what you've done in

47
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 4: the past. It's kind of a long time coming that

48
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: we finally did a launch. But as far as your

49
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 4: tours in Iraq when you did in music, they were

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 4: their documentary, The boot Walk, all that good stuff.

51
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: It's a little strange that we haven't done a military

52
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: launch yet. I mean, we've given back Gee's given back

53
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: to a bunch of different organizations that support our military.

54
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: But it is strange because really it is the first,

55
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: I guess you could say, the first philanthropy that we

56
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: were involved with, not just at EEE, but before ee

57
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: AS when it was just Granger Smith music we were

58
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: going to we were taking tours in Iraq, and those

59
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: are when people ask me so many times they say

60
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: what is your either your favorite memory from being a

61
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: musician or the best concert you ever played. It's very difficult,

62
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: and we've played concerts all over the world, all fifty states.

63
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: We've seen so many beautiful things, so many beautiful people,

64
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: so many incredible venues. But it's really hard for me

65
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: not to say, well, probably one of the fobs in Iraq.

66
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: And that really set a tone for me, seeing the

67
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: way that these men and women were serving. When the

68
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: first time I went in seven, and then in eight

69
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: I went for Christmas and New Year's and I went

70
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: twice in two thousand and eight and nine and seven.

71
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: So to see these men and women working, especially during

72
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: Christmas when December to the twenty fifth was like a

73
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: normal day.

74
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: It was.

75
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: There was nothing different in Iraq and that fob, that

76
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: little fob we went to and it wasn't like a

77
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: Toby Keith tour where we had, you know, massive stages

78
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: and massive groups of people. It was very small fobs

79
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: with with the no bathrooms, no running water, and so yeah,

80
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: it was.

81
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: It was an.

82
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: Incredible experience just to see men and women that have

83
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: served us so well.

84
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: I wish you guys could have gone.

85
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 4: Actually in Tynset, I remember that conversation we had at

86
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 4: your old house and college station. It's either a conversation

87
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: we had that you were going or it's the last

88
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 4: time we saw you before we went. Mom and Dad

89
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 4: were pretty worried because we were at war and you

90
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: were going to all those bases right on the front lines.

91
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: So I saw I saw Chad who Chad played with

92
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: me in that first tour in Iraq in two thousand

93
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: and seven, and he now plays for Carrie Underwood. And

94
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: I went recently to that church in Franklin, Tennessee, Carrie

95
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: Underwood's church for Carrie's husband Mike, and Mike is known

96
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: for a bunch of things, not just being carrious husband.

97
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: So I hate to say it that way, but I

98
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: saw Chad there and Chad, Chad was like, man, I'll

99
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: never forget that first tour and I rack with you.

100
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: In two thousand and seven, and I.

101
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: Suddenly remembered, I thought, because he said there are things

102
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: I still haven't told my mom about. And I was like, oh, Chad,

103
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: I keep forgetting that.

104
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: Me and you.

105
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of people I still hang out

106
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: with today that remember the stories of those.

107
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 4: The Blackhawks were locked on like missiles locked on, and

108
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 4: y'all had to like divert and there.

109
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: Were crazy times that there. There was one specific time,

110
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: I mean we many times we had to hit a

111
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: bunker because we had to get into the bunker because

112
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: mortar rounds were hitting the base of the concert we

113
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: were playing. So we were playing a concert several times.

114
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know how many, but several times, and

115
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,119
Speaker 1: mortar hit the building we were playing in the middle

116
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: of the concert where we had to stop playing the concert.

117
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: The quick reaction force, uh jumped it all out of

118
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: the concert hall or you know, the basketball court or

119
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: wherever we were and went running out the door to

120
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: go respond. Everyone else went into the bunker with us,

121
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: these big concrete bunkers, and we would stay there until

122
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: we get a call of all clear, and sometimes that

123
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: would take an hour to get the call of all

124
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: clear because they were you know, searching to see what

125
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: damage was done or if anyone was lost, and if

126
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: any more mortars were coming, if this was an attack

127
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: or not. So there was those several concerts, and then

128
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: one time in a black Hawk. The black Hawk flights

129
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: were always crazy because we're going fob to FOB and

130
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: that's the main form of transportation there. That's like the

131
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: Greyhound bus in Iraq at the time. And one particular time,

132
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: we were flying right at sunset and we're going over

133
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: a pretty hostile area and an RPG locked onto our

134
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: black Hawk, the one we were in, and the guy

135
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: the pilot just did these maneuvers to get away from

136
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: the RPG let out the flares and I never knew

137
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: we probably you guys. We lived close to Fort Hood,

138
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: the Fort Cavasos. The the black Hawks fly over quite

139
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: a bit.

140
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: We see them.

141
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: They just look like these big black you know, transport helicopters,

142
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: but those things can maneuver like never before. I mean

143
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: we were completely vertical, we were completely sideways, we were

144
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: completely in ninety degrees the other side, we were going

145
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: straight up again. I was holding all of us were

146
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: holding a backpack in our arms, and all the backpacks

147
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: went to the roof and just stayed on the roof

148
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: and we were just flying like upside down, sideways, back

149
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: just full. I mean, like a throttle that I have

150
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: never felt in any roller coaster or any race car, our,

151
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: monster truck, mega truck I've ever sat in. I've never

152
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: felt anything like it. And then when we finally leveled,

153
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: all our backpacks fell down into our laps at the

154
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: same time, and we were like what. And then all

155
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: of a sudden we were way out in the middle

156
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: of the desert. We were going over this little village

157
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: in Iraq, and then all of a sudden, we're in

158
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: the middle of the desert and it was all clear,

159
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: and we're flying really close to the ground. These helicopters

160
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,559
Speaker 1: have no doors or windows, so I was on the edge,

161
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: just buckled in. And so the times we would go

162
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: sideways that it's just me and the desert and the

163
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: and the you know, some white Toyota truck below me,

164
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: and it was like no six flag dride I have

165
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: ever been on. We get home or excuse me. We

166
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: land at the landing zone and the place we were going,

167
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: and that those helicopters, it was always two, one that

168
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: the band rode in and then one that our our

169
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: music equipment rode in. They landed, we jumped out. It

170
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: was dark by now, and they just took off and

171
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: went right back where we came from, like back to work,

172
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: and we didn't even know where and were We told

173
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: our the commanding officer with us, We said what happened?

174
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: And he said, RBG locked on happens all the time,

175
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: like no big deal. And they were going those two

176
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: guys were flying right back into it again, just back

177
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: to work.

178
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 4: So why didn't they Why didn't the RPG locked on?

179
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 4: Why didn't they shoot just because it got out of

180
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 4: you got out of range in time or something or what.

181
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: No, they were shooting at us. They were shooting small

182
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: arms and sh they were shooting rockets at us.

183
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 4: And the were you equipped with anything like any kind

184
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 4: of gun or anything, or.

185
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: There's two gunners, fifty cow guns, machine guns on either

186
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: side like you see in that like a B twenty four.

187
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: So there's two gunners with either a two forty Bravo

188
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: or a fifty Cow depending on the aircraft and those

189
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: So those guys were firing and on either side, and

190
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: they have to fire every time we fly, at least

191
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: in the desert, just to make sure they're not jammed.

192
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: So there those two guys or girls are on either

193
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: side of the black Hawk in the open doors, and

194
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: but the flares drop out and intercept the heat seeking

195
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: missiles of any kind. I mean, I can't, I can't

196
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: even make these stories up. But I just I'll never

197
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: forget when we got out looking back me not even

198
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: knowing what just happened. I just rode the craziest ride

199
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: of my life. And to them, their faces were normal.

200
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: They weren't like, oh oh that was crazy. They were

201
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: just like, flew back off, just back back the same

202
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: direction we just came. So yeah, wild stuff, man, And

203
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: that's just stories. We don't ever hear, No one talks

204
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: about it.

205
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

206
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: And so usually what happens was some there was some

207
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: terrorist group. We won't say their name on live on YouTube,

208
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: but they were most likely tracking the army would change

209
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: their flight plans constantly to try to always fool the enemy,

210
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: but sometimes the enemy would get a correct intelligence from

211
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: some kind of inside source and they would know two

212
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: black Hawks are flying over here at fifty fifty feet.

213
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: They'll be coming over the east side at so and

214
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: so coordinates, and they'd have a couple of guys.

215
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: Up on a roof with RPG's ready to shoot.

216
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 4: Did you ever see later some of those guys, like

217
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 4: some of those pilots on stories like that, in situations

218
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: like that, did you ever see them years later, like

219
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 4: back home in the US at a show.

220
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a lot a lot of times they still do,

221
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: Like sometimes they'll come to a sermon, but they used

222
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: to come to concerts all the time and say I

223
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: saw you at five war Horse in two thousand and eight,

224
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: and I'm like, ah, man, those crazy times. But those

225
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: black Hawks would also get shot down a bunch. And

226
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: I used to think that if a Blackhawk got shot down,

227
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: then we would hear about it on the news, and

228
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: the reality is we don't. They actually get shot down

229
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: quite a bit. I don't know about now. I'm so

230
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: out of the loop now, but that was back in

231
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: the Iraqi days. So anyway, that's so, it's nat full

232
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: circle military launch.

233
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: Yet today you know, it just means more. It means more.

234
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: Are we showing any at all? Or oh yeah, sure?

235
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: So what you got?

236
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: Have somebody in the back throw you some stuff? We

237
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: might as well.

238
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 4: This is one of the hats, which is really cool.

239
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 4: We've never actually done a hat like this. If you're listening,

305
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 3: like people who ask for left handed golf clubs and

306
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: then you make them, and then one buys them, and

307
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,520

00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: See you guys eeee so y'all see you guys. You know,

322
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: when I first started this crazy music thing, having an

323
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: online store was like the last thing on my mind.

324
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: I just wanted to write songs and play concerts. The

325
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: irony in me now is that I no longer play concerts,

326
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: but I still have an online shop. That's what pays

327
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: the bills, and thank goodness that so long ago it

328
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,920

Speaker 1: to get into the weeds of actually the mechanics of

344
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: selling with an online store. I just I want to

345
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: make a product. I want to be creative. I want

346
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,879

Speaker 1: called me right before we did this and he's like,

407
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: should we.

408
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 2: Be doing this? Yeah? I think so. Yeah.

409
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: Jimmy Krat said, I believe Red Fridays have been a

410
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: thing for some years now. Glad you has jumped on board. Yeah,

411
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: thank you, Jimmy.

412
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: Stuff.

413
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 5: You want to hit an email, We've got several, and

414
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 5: I've got a few for this show.

415
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: Let's do it first one here, says Grainger. Podcast two

416
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: thirty nine was great and so.

417
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 2: Informative, which I don't know which one that was.

418
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: He says, I think it would be great and helpful

419
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: to others to see a dedicated podcast on how to

420
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: serve others from a biblical perspective. I grew up on

421
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: a farm helping and serving my family, and I still

422
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: do to this day. But now being in my twenties

423
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: and having other opportunities to serve, it can be difficult

424
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: to decide where I am best needed. It's hard for

425
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: me to say no to turn things down, so that

426
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: often leads to relationships stressed with me and my girlfriend.

427
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: I would like to thank you all for doing what

428
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: you do through the name of the Lord. From a

429
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: fellow brother in Christ.

430
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: Chase. Yeah, Chase, I appreciate you. Man.

431
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what your question is. Besides, you're

432
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: just kind of commenting on sometimes it's difficult to serve

433
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: from a biblical perspective because when you serve anything, I

434
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: guess we could say it this way, when you serve

435
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: anybody or anything, someone's getting left out, in this case

436
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: maybe the girlfriend. And that's a problem. I would say

437
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: if your girlfriend, if you are wholeheartedly serving someone or

438
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: some organize or some cause or church, and your girlfriend

439
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 1: is stressed or it's putting stress on your relationship because

440
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: you are serving. That's interesting, and maybe we should check

441
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: our hearts on that one and wonder if this is

442
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: the right relationship to be in. That's kind of what

443
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: that's kind of where I would start this. Maybe we

444
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: should out of everything you said, maybe we should be

445
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: thinking more. If you and I were riding in the

446
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: cab of a truck and having this conversation, I would say,

447
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: maybe we should be questioning this relationship a little bit more.

448
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: Although it doesn't necessarily have to be bad, and I

449
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: know that you could.

450
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: You could. You could serve too much.

451
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the the airplane theory I have

452
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: when an oxygen masks drop out of the airplane, you

453
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: got to put the mask on yourself first before you

454
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: could then put the mask on the others. That's sometimes

455
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: in the same way of serving that sometimes if we

456
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: become over servers, then the things closest to us around

457
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: us get neglected, in this case, this relationship. So we'll

458
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: keep thinking through this, and I want you to think

459
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: about Romans twelve two whenever you're thinking through this, really

460
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: meditate on that verse.

461
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 2: We had another one.

462
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, okay, it says my wife and I We're

463
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: watching a sermon, and the pastor said, when we are

464
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: born again, we are given a new spirit, but have

465
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,719
Speaker 1: the same mind. Interesting, I just said Romans twelve to two.

466
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: Let's read that with this too as well. Philippians four

467
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: to eight was his reference. We are to fix our minds.

468
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: God doesn't fix it for us. It is our opportunity

469
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: to take authority of captivity any thought that exalts itself.

470
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: God doesn't change the past. We move forward. Jesus said,

471
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: let the dead bury the dead and follow me. Past

472
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: is unchanged, sees today our past thoughts and way can

473
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: hinder our walk. These are just observations here. And then

474
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: he says, is it possible to acknowledge Christ with your

475
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: mind but never receive them in your heart? It appears

476
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: to me they are separate. I love Jesus and I

477
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: know He's in my heart, and I'm being too relaxed?

478
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: Am I being too relaxed with my loved ones who

479
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: may acknowledge in their mind but looks to have not

480
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: surrendered their heart?

481
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 2: Okay?

482
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean your first question is is it possible to

483
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: acknowledge Christ with your mind but never receive them in

484
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: your heart? Absolutely? Yeah, Jesus. Jesus talked about that all

485
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: the time. That was the Pharisees, and so outward understanding,

486
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: intellectual understanding of who God is and how we are

487
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: reconciled through His son is. You know, Satan knows that

488
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: Satan understands that right, and so you could absolutely acknowledge

489
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: him with your mind, but never receive him in your heart.

490
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: You need to understand that the very first thing you

491
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: said talking about being born again, you'd have to you'd

492
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: have to go to John three and listen to Jesus's

493
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: conversation with Nicodemus, and Nicodemus is saying, what are you

494
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: talking about born again?

495
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: Could?

496
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: How could be born again? Well, I've already I've already

497
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: been born, And she just says that you're once from

498
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: water and another time from the spirit, and the time

499
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: you're born with the spirit, you don't know. You don't

500
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: have any control over that, and you could look at

501
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: this is way you're in control of your first birth

502
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: and you're not in control of your second. The spirit

503
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: comes like the wind. You don't know where it comes from,

504
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: and you don't.

505
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 2: Know where it's going.

506
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: And so we have to be careful not to say

507
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: that not to say I know I could capture I

508
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: could take captive thoughts in my mind, but I also

509
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: can captive emotions with my heart. We have to be

510
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: careful with that, because if you're talking about being given

511
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: a new heart, you can't give yourself a new heart.

512
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: So these are things for.

513
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 2: You to meditate.

514
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: The Bible is very clear about this, and so I would.

515
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: I would walk through stuff like Aphesians two.

516
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 5: Ephesians Fourians four talks about the spirit of your mind.

517
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll pull it up here, assuming that you.

518
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 5: Have heard about him and we're taught, uh, we're taught

519
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 5: in him as the truth in Jesus. To put off

520
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 5: your old self, which belongs to your former manner of

521
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 5: life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be

522
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 5: renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put

523
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 5: on the new self.

524
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, so put on the new self when you've received

525
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: a new heart. And so John six, John ten, John seventeen.

526
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: Thepheesians two Ephesians four, Romans eight and nine, go there,

527
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: go there and just lap it up.

528
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 2: Just lap it up. Man.

529
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: Thank you for the email. Actually we hit another one.

530
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: What do you want to do?

531
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 5: I think we got time for one more and we

532
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 5: uh maybe take a break, a quick break.

533
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: Okay, hey Grangeer, I'm Wyatt, sixteen years old. I'm a Christian.

534
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: There there's this girl. You know so many years my

535
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: podcast has started with those those words. There's this girl

536
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: at church in my youth group, and I'm good friends

537
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: with her, and she loves the outdoors and I would

538
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: love to get to know her more and maybe go

539
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: out on a date, but go about it in a

540
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: group setting, in a Christian way, He says, do you

541
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: have any advice or suggestions on how to go about this? Oh,

542
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: Wyatt to be sixteen.

543
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 2: I read so many of these that come into you. Yeah,

544
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: I know you, yeah, I mean, but it's.

545
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 5: And it's funny how this is obviously why we also

546
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,479
Speaker 5: talked about going to doing the topics, because we can

547
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 5: address a lot of people at one time. But pulling

548
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 5: up Wyatt's was a thought incast. A lot of emails

549
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 5: that came in before and after Wyatts that talked about,

550
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 5: I mean, almost to the letter, the exact same thing.

551
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, these questions, this, this line of questioning is called

552
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: there's this girl.

553
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so.

554
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: Why you're sixteen and there's this girl in your youth

555
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: group and you're good friends with her. She loves the outdoors.

556
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: I get it, and you want to get to know

557
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: her more, and you maybe go out on a date

558
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: with her, and you want to do it in a

559
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: in a good, respectable way, which is in a group setting,

560
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: which I agree with. It's dangerous to be alone with

561
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: this with this girl. Why risk that kind of temptation?

562
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: So so, man, I think you're doing all the right things,

563
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: and I think I think so many times life just

564
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: plays out with just vulnerable conversation. And so you go

565
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: out in the group and there's no like right way

566
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: to approach this, and there's no special pickup line. But

567
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm always a fan of being vulnerable. And you know,

568
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: you go up to her and you're in this group setting,

569
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: which I think is courageous and.

570
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: Right, it's good, and you just say I'm Wyatt.

571
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if we've officially met or not, but

572
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: I just think you're a really neat person. And I

573
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: love that you like the outdoors like I do. And

574
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: this is kind of embarrassing for me, but I just

575
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,239
Speaker 1: really like you, and I just really wanted to get

576
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: to know you a little bit more, And I just

577
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: think I just think being vulnerable like that with her

578
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: is the best way to do it, because if you

579
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: stumble and you go I just really wanted to get that.

580
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm stuttering right now. I just think when

581
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: you stutter and when you mess up and when you

582
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: trip over your words, all of it's okay in that setting.

583
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: But if you're trying to be cool, you're trying to

584
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: say the right thing, and then you stutter, then it's

585
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: really stupid. So Wyatt, You've got a lot of life

586
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: ahead of you, and this is the first, probably the

587
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: first of many times you'll have this feeling until it's

588
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: the last time and you get married and Lord willing

589
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: you spend the rest of your life with a woman,

590
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: and this is practice until that. But I say, be vulnerable,

591
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: open up to her in a group setting.

592
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 2: That's great.

593
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: You know, I heard about this company recently and I

594
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: was happy that they were going to sponsor the podcast.

595
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: It's the Wellness Company. So here here's the deal. You

596
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: wake up. We've all done this, wake up with with

597
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: like a scratchy, sore throat, congestion, running nose, and you think,

598
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: I know what this is I'm getting sick. So what

599
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: are your choices at that point? You could just tough

600
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: it out, get sick it, let it run its course

601
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: and take all the time off work. Or you could

602
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: hope to see that doctor. You know. No one wants

603
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: to do that. It might take four weeks to get in.

604
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: Or you can go to the urgent care clinic. It's

605
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: expensive and you got to sit in the room with

606
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: all those sick people. Nobody wants any of those things.

607
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: So here's the other option. Open up your medical emergency kit,

608
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: match your symptoms to the doctor recommended prescription, start on

609
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: the right meds, and nip this in the butt right now.

610
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: Doesn't that sound good? Your medical emergency kit is not

611
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: a first aid kit. It comes with doctor prescribed meds

612
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: to treat over thirty nine medical issues. It's got strong

613

614
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: and so much more. Plus a doctor's easy guide so

615
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: you'll know exactly what and when to take this stuff.

00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: No waiting to see the doctor, no waiting at the pharmacy.

617
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: It's all right there. I'm telling y'all. Every home should

Speaker 1: reasonable hour in a reasonable city where I can get there,

633
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: you know, like on Southwest Airlines or something, and a

634
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,680

637
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm thinking like Kansas City for one.

638
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 2: That's a good one. And just say everybody's going to

639
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 2: say my city.

640
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: I know, I know, so you know, we go to

641
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: Kansas city that's kind of the bottom of the Midwest.

642
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: And then we go up to maybe like Minnesota, you know,

643
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: the Tri Cities, or maybe the Chicago area that gives

644
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: the upper Midwest, Michigan, Michigan. Yeah, it kind of covers that.

645
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: And then we go out west and we do something

646
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: like I don't know, you guys help me here.

647
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 2: We do either.

648
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: Portland area somewhere, yeah, And then we go out east

649
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: and we do or we would do too and each

650
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: of these places. And so like one week we would

651
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: do say Kansas City and Des Moines or our Lincoln

652
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: or Omaha or something like that, and then the next

653
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: week we would do Portland and Seattle or Portland and Sacramento,

654
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: and then we would go do Chicago and Minneapolis, and

655
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: then we would go do Boston and Charlotte you know, I.

656
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 2: Don't know, yeh. And then then we hit southeast and.

657
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: Then we need to cover we need to do like

658
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: Tampa and Atlanta, and then then we'd have to hit

659
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: Texas and he just keeps going right. But but see

660
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: if anyone wants to comment on this, if they would

661
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: show up, and what we would do is we would

662
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: sit there, we'd have some we'd set up like either

663
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: in a church or a theater, and we would set

664
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: up some couches and mics just like this, and you

665
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: and I would do just what we're doing a different

666
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: city as we could bring.

667
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: Like Marshall yeah, Bernie, yeah, Parker.

668
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: The guys that have done the podcast for a long time. Amber, yeah,

669
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: and then we would announce it and like Marshall's going

670
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: to this group of cities.

671
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 5: And we can we just have mav in the background

672
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 5: with the with the gator driving around on the stage.

673
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 2: Just make it all put some money in there. Yeah.

674
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: In fact, maybe Amber could go to a lot of

675
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: these cool So yeah, yeah, let's let's start brainstorming everybody

676
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: on what where we would go, you know, say two

677
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: cities a week for three or four weeks. I think

678
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: that'd be cool. The other announcement I need to make

679
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: is we're gonna do a live We're putting out a

680
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: live album of the last tour.

681
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, very cool.

682
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: It's it's off at mastering now Grizz has been working

683
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:50,040

687
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: of capturing that.

688
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 5: So we could pour some beer on the ground and

689
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,360

Speaker 1: Okay, This next one says, Hey Grandeur, my name is Andrew,

705
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: and lately I've been feeling called to ministry, but not

706
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: sure if I really am. I'm not sure if God

707
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: is really calling me or just my feelings. My question is,

708
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: how do you know it's really God calling me?

709
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 2: Thanks?

710
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: I love your music in your podcast. Thanks Andrew. Hey,

711
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: great question, buddy. I'm so glad you asked this, And

712
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: I'll answer this every week if I have to, because

713
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: it's interesting I've been saying lately. You said, how do

714
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: I know if it's really God or just my feelings?

715
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: I would add or my indigestion. You know, when people

716
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: say God called me, I'm like, are you sure it

717
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: wasn't the beans you ate last night? Right, that's funny

718
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: but actually a legitimate question.

719
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 2: If it is, you'll be tested very very quickly, and

720
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 2: you will know. Yeah. So well the.

721
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: Answer, Andrew, I mean, it's really it's easy. The calling

722
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: you feel in your feelings, that's important. That is a

723
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: very important first step.

724
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: That's what opens the door.

725
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: That's like saying I want to be a country singer

726
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: and I really like singing, and I really want to

727
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: be a country singer. Great, that's the first qualification really

728
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: for anything. You're in radio for many years at the

729
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: first qualification to be in radio is to want to.

730
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 2: Be in radio.

731
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: Right, I think you can say that in every like

732
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: in every hobby and every career, in every relationship, the

733
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: first step in a relationship is you got a like her.

734
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, and two you, I don't think that. I don't

735
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 5: think if you can't draw, you go I want to

736
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 5: be an artist. It's something you kind of already have

737
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 5: in innate ability to do. That's something that's borning you

738
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 5: that God's given you. You asked me when we were

739
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 5: in Israel. You know, we were there three days. I

740
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 5: think he's like, has the bug bit you? And I

741
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 5: ask what the missionary bug? I was like, I don't know,

742
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 5: let's see maybe because I'm enjoying this. And then we're

743
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 5: another three days went by and I'm like, maybe support

744
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 5: is my thing?

745
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: You said, Hey man, I don't think the missionary bug

746
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: has bit me.

747
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, So let me ask you questions. What would you do?

748
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 5: Well, what does the person do that is not called

749
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 5: to be a missionary? How does he help missionaries?

750
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah? Like, because I do think that.

751
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 5: That kind of well, kind of like doing this, doing

752
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 5: this as a podcast is not my strength, but supporting

753
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 5: and producing you is okay, you know, and I love

754
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 5: I enjoy this. Came over and we rewired the room.

755
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did. No, who has that idea and thinks

756
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 2: that that's fun.

757
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: We did so, Andrew, I want to get I want

758
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: to get to what you're asking here because I think

759
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: it's it's actually simpler than you think.

760
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 2: So I love that you're you feel called.

761
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to tell you that you're not

762
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: feeling because feelings are real. You're experiencing that. And so

763
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna tell you is the next step is

764
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: to get plugged in. If you're not already. If you're

765
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: not already, that's that's a huge problem. But you should

766
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: get plugged in with your local church, and you should

767
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: tell you your leadership in the church this feeling. Say hey,

768
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: i'm guys, I'm feeling called to ministry, and then they say, fantastic.

769
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: Let's begin a discipleship program of some kind. Education very

770
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: important is important here. Some kind of Bible college is

771
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: a good beginning, or a seminary degree is a is

772
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,919
Speaker 1: a good It is a good step here. A one

773
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: on one discipleship program that's that's intentional from your pastor

774
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:21,760
Speaker 1: is important here. Ways to get you to get some reps,

775
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: and actually teaching is important here. And then what happens

776
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: is you stop relying on your feelings. At that point

777
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: you stop relying on is God calling or not?

778
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: Is you or not?

779
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: Then now you've handed it over to the leadership in

780
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: your local church where they can then collectively affirm you

781
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: together and say, you remember when we had this conversation

782
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: several years ago about you feeling called. We all have

783
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: been collectively talking and we want to affirm your calling.

784
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: And that is that that there's so much assurance in

785
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: that knowing I've been affirmed through my wise counsel and

786
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: leadership around me to my ca It's the same thing

787
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: in any other hobby, our sport, our radio, our country music,

788
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, essentially getting a record deal with a bunch

789
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:13,240
Speaker 1: of executives affirming you are now ready for major radio

790
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: and we want to invest in you.

791
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: We see something, we see.

792
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: Something, we want to put your song on major radio

793
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: that we are collectively affirming. You don't get to decide

794
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: if you're on major radio by yourself. You get to

795
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: decide if you want to be, but you don't get

796
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: to decide if you're going to be on there. And

797
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: why would ministry be any different? Ministry is so much

798
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: more important than a song on the radio, where there's

799
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: so much more at stake, and we have to be

800
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: as ministers. We have to be judged for what we say,

801
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: and if our teaching is right or not, we will

802
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 1: be strictly judged.

803
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 2: Why would we.

804
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 1: Want to risk that? So, Andrew, I'd say, stay involved

805
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: with this podcast, but most importantly, go and tell everyone

806
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: at your local church this is where you want. This

807
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: is the path you want to start on. It's like

808
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: candy Land the game. This is your first square. Yeah,

809
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: here you are good.

810
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 2: Let's see if you can get to the end.

811
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 5: Got a couple comments from what you proposed just moments ago.

812
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 2: If you'd like to hit some.

813
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's hit that. David says, the whole

814
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: idea of live in person Q and A sounds great cool.

815
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: Andrew said that'd be fun. Lindsay says, come to Delaware.

816
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 2: Please. When was the last time you were in Delaware?

817
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: We played the Delaware State Fair a couple of years ago,

818
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: three years ago. It's hard with COVID, I forget for years.

819
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: And then we played quite a bit. We played Dewey

820
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: Beach several times. We played Dewey Beach, which is a

821
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: beautiful place in the summertime in Delaware. Yeah, Terry says,

822
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: anywhere within two hours of Myrtle Beach would be great. Okay,

823
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 1: so I think that's Charlotte. I said, Charlotte, right, maybe

824
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: maybe that maybe three or four hours. Tasha says, Kansas City, please,

825
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: pretty please. He's I'll cook for you like I do

826
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: for butcher Bowl for great and God we nailed it

827
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: with with Kansas City.

828
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep that one started. There's there's some cooking

829
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 2: in there. Yeah.

830
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 1: And that says come to Atlanta. So that was another

831
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: city I thought it would be a good hub. I'm

832
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: thinking like Charlotte, Columbia, Tampa, Atlanta, Austin, Phoenix, oh ye,

833
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: Portland the winter in the winter, yeah, and Kansas City,

834
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: Des Moines or Omaha, Chicago and Minnesota, Minneapolis. It's kind

835
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: of shooting from the hip here.

836
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: You may have just routed everything. Yeah.

837
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: Oh and I forgot to say probably Boston. That would

838
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: cover Dewey Beach, Delaware, and I don't know, maybe maybe

839
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 1: d C or that might be too close to Charlotte.

840
00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: Maybe probably a Jersey area Boston. Yeah, we'll be thinking

841
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: about this. Everybody be thinking about this. What you gonna

842
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: do now?

843
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 2: What we've I mean, we've we've been in this for

844
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 2: forty five.

845
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: We are just rocking. Let's do one more. Do we

846
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: have any questions on here or do you want to

847
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: go to the back to them?

848
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's che We've got a few, but it is

849
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 5: a good thing. There's a lot coming in. There's either

850
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 5: comments or and there's a couple of questions. Ah okay,

851
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 5: well check this question out, see what you think.

852
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: About it, Big Bobby, says Granger. Do you ever consider

853
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: hosting a car show with ye Yee name in the Northeast?

854
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: It would be so great to put the word of

855
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: God into my streets here at home or even at

856
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: a car show. Yeah, man, that's definitely consideration. We've considered

857
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: doing a car show at the next Yee day actually,

858
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: so that'd be good too.

859
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 2: Very nice.

860
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, more comments just just saying hi, and they want

861
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 5: you to come to their towns.

862
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 2: So's there's a lot of those.

863
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 5: But we'll keep these and sort of them because one

864
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 5: might ring a bell that you haven't thought.

865
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:01,399
Speaker 1: You waning to grab one real quick?

866
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 2: Here?

867
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey friend Andy from Australia here, love listening to

868
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: your words while I work away. I'm blessed to have

869
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: a father of beautiful seven year old boy girl twins,

870
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: seven year old boy girl twins. Their mother left me

871
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: for a woman six years ago. I have an amazing relationship,

872
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: and I think and I thank her for giving me

873
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 1: the most amazing, beautiful, healthy children. I go to church

874
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: with my children on the weeks that they are with me,

875
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: But I'm scared about their mother's relationship and how that's

876
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: going to impact their relationship with God and what the

877
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: Bible speaks. Your opinion on how I could approach this

878
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: and protect them from from our very judgmental Christian brothers

879
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: and sisters. Jesus is King thanks to Andy. Okay, so two,

880
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: it sounds like two parts to your question here, Andy.

881
00:44:50,160 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: One is how to raise them. I'm scared of how

882
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: they're No, that's not your question. Your question really, the

883
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 1: only one you've asked is how to approach this and

884
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 1: protect them from a very judgmental Christian from very judgmental

885
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: Christian brothers and sisters. Well, this is such a tough

886
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: nuance here, Andy, but you're gonna this. You're just gonna

887
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: have to trust God in this because ultimately, back to

888
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,959
Speaker 1: that conversation we had earlier in the podcast about being

889
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 1: reborn and being born of the spirit. The same is

890
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: going to go for your kids.

891
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 2: And so.

892
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,760
Speaker 1: Although the environment that they're around will will significantly impact

893
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: their understanding of who God is, their heart is in

894
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: His hands. And this is going to require incredible amount

895
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,919
Speaker 1: of patience from you, incredible amount of prayer and some

896
00:45:56,239 --> 00:46:02,959
Speaker 1: really really intimate converse stations that you have with them,

897
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 1: specifically walking through Bible. And I would for anyone listening,

898
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: I would highly recommend family worship time in your own families.

899
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: And what that might look like, Andy is especially with

900
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: with seven year old boy girl twins. You're looking at

901
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: about ten minutes Max, and during this ten minutes and

902
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: I want I want you to do this every day

903
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: that they're with you, every single day. I want to

904
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 1: see a portion of it reading through the Bible, not

905
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: picking parts, but actually moving through. So my family and

906
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: I write currently we're in the Book of Mark, and

907
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: so we just we every night we pick up where

908
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: we left off the night before.

909
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: In Mark. It could be.

910
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes I read to them one paragraph. Sometimes I read

911
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: to the end of a thought or a to the

912
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: end of a scene in the Book of Mark, and

913
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: that might be three, four, five paragraphs. It might be

914
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: a whole page, but it just depends on where's the

915
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: scene start and where's the scene end. And I want

916
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: you to do that, estimating that this reading time is

917
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 1: about three to four minutes long. And after you finish,

918
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: have a brief discussion on what we just read. And

919
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: then I would ask what I do is I ask

920
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: my kids to pray specifically, not anything else, but just

921
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: that passage. So let's pray based on what we just read.

922
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: So Lincoln, what could you what could we pray for

923
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 1: what we just read? And he goes, I'll thank Jesus

924
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: that he opened the eyes of the blind man with

925
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: the mud and that he works miracles. You know. He'll say,

926
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: like the simplest idea from what we just read. And

927
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: then London will usually go a little deeper and she'll say, Lord,

928
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: will you give us the faith to be able to

929
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: see even when when we're struggling and we and our

930
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,879
Speaker 1: minds don't have a sign in front of us, will

931
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: you you make us believe? And then Amber will go

932
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: even deeper, and then I'll finish the prayer and then

933
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: with our time left, we'll sing a song together and boom,

934
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: there's ten minutes and that's the family worship that Andy,

935
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: that will impact these kids more than your judgmental Christian

936
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters, more than what they learn in school.

937
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: They'll remember what they do with Dad and what you

938
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: want to do. The goal is to reveal to them

939
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: who God is through how He has revealed himself in

940
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: the living, breathing Word of God. And you will if

941
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: you do this consistently, you'll find yourself walking.

942
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 2: Through book after book after book.

943
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: And the Bible, and after a few years you'll you'll

944
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: you will have made it a significant way through the Bible.

945
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: That is, that is where I would lean Andy all

946
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: day long, and for anyone else that's listening in a

947
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: different kind of situation, that's where I would go.

948
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 5: Man, you reminded me of something when you were just

949
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 5: talking about that, and that is because he's asking one question,

950
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 5: how do you a one on one battle with this?

951
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 5: Instead of filling up your time with that. We talk

952
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 5: a lot about filling up our vessel. What will you

953
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 5: fill up your time with? What do you fill up

954
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 5: yourself with uh Word of God? Or is it you know,

955
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 5: the word of the world. If you if you filled

956
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 5: your your your kids up, there's no room for the

957
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 5: battle between what you're concentrating on right now, if that

958
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 5: makes sense. Yeah, there's not time or room for that,

959
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,760
Speaker 5: because you're already full of his word, of his worship,

960
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 5: of the time together that you don't have to worry

961
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 5: about actually facing those things that battles already won.

962
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,439
Speaker 2: And it's such good stuff. Amen.
