1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Welcome into Real America's voice news. This is Sunday The

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Road Forward. This week, the Senate passed the Big Beautiful Bill,

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: with the Vice President Jadavan's casting the deciding vote, which

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: pushed the bill by the way back to the House

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: for final ratification. And the University of Pennsylvania decided to

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: ban trans athletes from women's sports. This was after a

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: federal investigation into Leah Thomas. The University of Pennsylvania will

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: now enforced Trump's men date to ban men from women's sports.

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: This strips Thomas of his records, titles, and other recognitions.

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: A big, huge win for women everywhere and what amazing

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: weekends we celebrate America. All this and more on this

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: edition of Sunday The Road Forward has always had a

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 1: word of hope and encouragement for you and those you love.

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm doctor Tim Clinton. I'll be your host our special

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: guest joining us this week. He's best selling author, popular

16
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: conference speaker, and senior pastor of the Great Presleywood Church

17
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: in Plano, Texas.

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: Doctor Jack Graham's with us.

19
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: He's the President of American Values and Senior vice president

00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: for public Policy for the doctor Jamie Stobson Family Institute.

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: Gary Bauer's back. He is a consultant for the United

22
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: States and Israeli relations. Jurie Steinberg is with us and

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: she's a mega popular author, speaker, and podcaster. Howdie Saint

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: John is back. Thanks for watching.

25
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: Head by God.

26
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: This week, the University of Pennsylvania has agreed to write

27
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: its wrongs, restore records to female athletes, and issue an

28
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: apology to the women impacted by the man Leah Thomas

29
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: they allowed to compete as a woman. Also, the Supreme

30
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: Court shut down government in doctrination, siding with parents who

31
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: refused radical gender ideology in schools. Bottom line, parental rights

32
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: are non negotiable. You cannot override parents deeply held beliefs

33
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: or force their children into radical gender ideology. This week,

34
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: the Senate passes the Big Beautiful Bill, with the Vice

35
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: President Jade Vance casting the deciding vote, which pushed the

36
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: bill back again to the House for final ratification. Stephen

37
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: Miller said this, I'm sick and tired of the lies

38
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: about the bill. This is the most conservative bill in

39
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: my lifetime. It went on to say, tax cuts, defense,

40
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: border security, homeland security, welfare reform, and the largest spending

41
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: cut in one bill that's ever been enacted. Hey, and

42
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: President Trump is brokering peace around the world as we

43
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: celebrate America. While America is a perfect she's still the

44
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: greatest nation in the world. As people of faith, we

45
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: know that our rights don't come from government. That come

46
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: from God. Our hope, our strength, by the way, comes

47
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: from the Lord. Here's a great verse to hold on

48
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: to this week.

49
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 4: Psal.

50
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: I'm thirty three, Verse twelve.

51
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Get

52
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: ready as we jump headfirst into our discussions here on

53
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,920

54
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: of platforms, but if you're watching up on social media,

00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: hope you'll like and share the program with family and friends.

56
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: Let them know what God's doing. Ine and through this broadcast,

57
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to pray. We're going to get started. God,

58
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: bless our time together. Thank you for this opportunity, use

59
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: it for your glory. Thank You for our great country.

60
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: As we celebrate this weekend, God lead us, go before us,

61
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: and may we be a shining city on a hill.

62
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: I pray all this in the strong name of Jesus.

63
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: Amen. Let's get started.

64
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, I'm doctor Tim Clinton and you know how

65
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: important this is. It's my phone, it's my lifeline. It

66
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: connects me with loved ones and business throughout the day,

67
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: keeping informed about the world around us. And that's why

68
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: my self service and data they're so important to me.

69
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: They have to be reliable, safe, secure, and that's why

70
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: I use Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is leading the way

71
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: as America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, and you can

Speaker 1: enjoy nationwide coverage with access to all three major US networks,

73
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,800

Speaker 1: The folks at Patriot they've got four core values centered

77
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: on defending God and country and supporting our military and

78
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: the sanctity of life. I appreciate that switching it's easy.

00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: God has raised up for such a time as this. Jack,

103
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: welcome back, Thank you for joining me.

104
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 5: Always good to be with you, Tam, Great to see you.

105
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, happy forth our weekend, Jack. All over the country

106
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 1: people are celebrating the fourth of July. Hey, what's happening

107
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: at the Great Preston Wood Church this weekend? I know

108
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: America is not perfect, but we're still the greatest nation

109
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: in the world.

110
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: And God's doing something.

111
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 5: No doubt about it. And at our church we are

112
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 5: very patriotic, and for example, we have a Veterans ministry

113
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 5: that is working tirelessly to impact the lives of veterans

114
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 5: and their families, reach veterans for the Gospel of Christ.

115
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 5: That's a very important one, but we've already in fact,

116
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 5: we jumped out ahead. We always do the fourth of

117
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 5: July spectacular patriotic service God and country, however you want

118
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 5: to describe it. The Sunday before the fourth so we

119
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 5: pay our respects to the armed forces and seeing their anthems,

120
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 5: and have military come in, we sing God bless America.

121
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 5: And that's not all that unusual. But today sometimes that

122
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 5: gets challenged and people want to say, well, you're mixing

123
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 5: religion with government or you're overly patriotic. Well, we love Jesus,

124
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 5: he is our king, He's first and foremost. But because

125
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 5: we love Jesus, we love our country. And I believe

126
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 5: we're better citizens because of Christ, and so I believe

127
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 5: we should and I always encourage pastors to appropriately honor

128
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 5: the country and to pray for our leadership and to

129
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 5: be a part of the future of America, not just

130
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 5: the past.

131
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: Jack, my father was a pastor for nearly sixty years

132
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: in the hills of Central Pennsylvania. He was a World

133
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: War Two veteran served in the South Pacific on the

134
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: USS Pennsylvania kissed the ground when he got back to

135
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: state side. He said, Tim, I was so happy, and

136
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: I promised God I'd served him for the rest of

137
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: my life. But Jack, he loved God and country, flew

138
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: a flag in our yard till the day he died.

139
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: My perspective on the flag changed. One day, Jackie was

140
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: at my dad's funeral when they gave him military honors,

141
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: and they folded the flag up, and they gave the

142
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: flag to my older brother Jimmy. I'll never forget that moment.

143
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: It reminded me that we stand on the shoulders of

144
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: those who are bold and courageous. Jack, you have a

145
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: lot in your heart to honor those who fight for

146
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: our freedoms, especially our religious liberty.

147
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 5: Exactly, and it's one of the most important, I believe,

148
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 5: the most outside of national security itself, religious freedom, and

149
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 5: it is freedom that is given by God, not government.

150
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 5: But religious freedom is the key issue for America in

151
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 5: these days, and I'm so grateful for President he gets that,

152
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 5: he understands it. You know that we've worked with him.

153
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 5: He has given us everything we have asked for in

154
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 5: terms of our freedom to speak and to strike down

155
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 5: those who would limit the freedom of speech and religious

156
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 5: speech in particular, and the freedom of religion. Without that

157
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 5: First Amendment, we're not a country, but we're a great

158
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 5: country because it is built on the foundations of faith,

159
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 5: and specifically faith in Jesus Christ. And we need to

160
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 5: teach that to our children. You know, next year is

161
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 5: the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of America, and our

162
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 5: church is going to go all in. In fact, we

163
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 5: launched it this fourth of July. We are going to

164
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 5: be all in on teaching biblical foundations, on highlighting our history,

165
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 5: praying for America, working on the issues of America. We're

166
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 5: going to spend the next three hundred and sixty five

167
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 5: days from July fourth today or on July fourth, da

168
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 5: year to July fourth in twenty twenty six, and I

169
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 5: would really encourage pastors and churches to think about this

170
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 5: and not miss this opportunity. And again we're going to

171
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 5: do it appropriately. We're not going to turn the church

172
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 5: over to government issues, but we are going to talk

173
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 5: about morality issues and religious freedom issues. We're going to

174
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 5: have a major service at God and Country next year

175
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 5: with Michael W. Smith and others. So it's a great

176
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 5: time as Christians. We have a window here. We have

177
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 5: an opportunity, with the current atmosphere and environment, led by

178
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 5: President Trump, to truly be a light in the world

179
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 5: and to shine that light on a hill that Ronald

180
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 5: Reagan talked about Jack.

181
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: This week, there was a white House call with National

182
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: Faith Advisory Board leaders and Jack was pretty impressive. President

183
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: Trump had to fight through some craziness upfront with AT

184
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: and T who couldn't get the thing to work, but

185
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: everybody stayed on. The President stayed in there, and Jack,

186
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: it was moving. I wanted some takeaways from you about

187
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: from that call itself.

188
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 5: When you listen to President Trump or when you are

189
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 5: with him, as some of us have had the privilege

190
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 5: of being with him, he is truly a friend of

191
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 5: the faith family in America. He's one of us. I

192
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 5: truly believe. People ask me, I'm sure you all the time.

193
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 5: Is President Trump a Christian? Well, he certainly professes his

194
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 5: faith in Jesus, and his life, of course, was dramatically

195
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 5: impacted by the near assassination. I believe that drew him,

196
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 5: as he has stated, even closer to the Lord. So

197
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 5: when we're with him, when we first met him, what

198
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 5: eight ten years ago, and I've known him since I

199
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 5: was pastor down in West Palm Beach, the Palm Beach area,

200
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 5: but you know, he didn't know us very well. But

201
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 5: now he knows us and he respects us and his

202
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 5: team around him. That's the other thing. We have to remember,

203
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 5: the team from the Vice President Marco Rubio and others,

204
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 5: his press secretary. You can go on and on. These

205
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 5: people are followers of Jesus, and the whole administration is

206
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 5: welcoming to people of faith. And so the call was

207
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 5: just another example of his willingness to know us, to

208
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 5: express his love and for the Lord and for our country,

209
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 5: and to support our churches and people of other religious

210
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 5: faiths as we talk about religious freedom, whether it was

211
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 5: rabbis or others. So it was a great call. It

212
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 5: was epic, but just another example. And I don't know

213
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 5: how you felt about it, Tom, but again, he just

214
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 5: seems so at ease with us now, I'll use those words.

215
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 5: He is at ease with us, he understands us, and

216
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 5: he's willing to be our president.

217
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: And Jacket, what I really appreciate about him is he's

218
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: willing to listen and have that kind of meaningful conversation,

219
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: dialogue and more. And he, like you said, he is

220
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: a friend, a real friend of the faith community. Open arms, Jack.

221
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: That uh was really evident with the Faith Office being

222
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: positioned inside the White House itself there in the West Wing,

223
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: and then establishing that Religious Liberty Commission, and then that

224
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: anti Christian biased task Force and more. He's serious about it.

225
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: He wants to protect faith in America. You go back

226
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: a few years ago, Jack, things are looking pretty pretty

227
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: dark for faith leaders. I mean, weaponizing the systems of government.

228
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: You're talking about targeting our religious groups and more. It

229
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: was serious, Jack, We were, we were we were in

230
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: a spin.

231
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 5: It was dark, Yeah, we were. We were spiraling for sure.

232
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 5: But it just shows that God is in control. Right.

233
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 5: We honor President Trump, and we certainly give him credit

234
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 5: for for so much of this, But I believe God

235
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 5: is not finished with America, and that God is moving

236
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 5: among Christians and churches. We see it with young people.

237
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 5: Bible sales among young people are up up, not only

238
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 5: here but in the UK as well at other places

239
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 5: around the world. It's an opportunity. We have a window,

240
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 5: and I believe God is expecting us to step up

241
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 5: courageously to the challenge. Just as an aside, we have

242
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 5: a Pastor's conference here at Prestonwood that I'm leading in

243
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 5: October of this year of twenty twenty five October twenty

244
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 5: one and twenty two, and the title of the conference

245
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 5: is Strong and Courageous, because I want us to challenge

246
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 5: pastors and church leaders at this conference to be strong

247
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 5: and courageous in the light of the opportunities that we

248
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 5: are given in these days. So anyway you can help

249
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 5: us pass the word about this conference, We would love

250
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 5: to have senior pastors along with associate pastors and ministry

251
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 5: leaders and church leaders here at Prestonwood on site in

252
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 5: the Dallas Fort Worth area October twenty first and twenty second,

253
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 5: because pastors need to lead the way and we need

254
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 5: to challenge one another to step up to the opportunity

255
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 5: and the responsibility that we have.

256
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,840

Speaker 2: Gary, welcome back. Good to see you, my friend.

273
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 7: Thank you, Tim. Great to see you too.

274
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: Happy forth of July.

275
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: Gary, I was reading one hundred and fifty million hot dogs.

276
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: That's how many hot dogs were eaten on the fourth

277
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: of July. They say between Memorial Day and Labor Day,

278
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: seven billion hot dogs are consumed. Gary, did you have

279
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: a hot dog? I don't know I had. I think

280
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: I had two.

281
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 7: I got to watch my cholesterol, Tim, So the hot

282
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 7: dogs I can eat are they're not worth eating? But

283
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 7: at any rate, I understand the spirit of it though.

284
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: You know, hey, Gary, bold and courageous leadership. I was

285
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: reflecting on the fourth and what it must have been

286
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: like back in July fourth, seventeen seventy six, and the

287
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: courage again, the character, the boldness of those leaders willing

288
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: to band together and stand against the tyranny they were facing.

289
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: Gary.

290
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: But as you reflect on I know your historian, and

291
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: you love this and you love our country. But just

292
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: some takeaways from you as we go through this weekend.

293
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 7: Well, Tim, you know we're both patriots, we both love America.

294
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 7: I always get a little emotional on the fourth of

295
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 7: July because it's such a wonderful thing to be blessed

296
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 7: by God to be born here. There's so many places

297
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 7: around the world where one could be, but to be

298
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 7: born in this country is to get a great head

299
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 7: start in life. I also have I get said too,

300
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 7: on the fourth of July, because we've got a lot

301
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 7: of young people and there's a lot of research about this.

302
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 7: They haven't been taught the great wonder of America. They

303
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 7: don't know how unique the country is and how our

304
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 7: founding documents when they were written were saying things that

305
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 7: people around the world had never heard before things that

306
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 7: would make us shining city upon a hill. So I

307
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 7: have a lot of mixed emotions, but one of the

308
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 7: things I know we both care about is this effort

309
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 7: by President Trump to reinvigorate American education in order to

310
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 7: teach our children why they're living in a great country

311
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 7: and why it's worth defending our country.

312
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: Gary, think of the brilliance that was there with those

313
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: founding fathers as they put together the Declaration of Independence.

314
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: You think of our Constitution, the Bill of Rights so

315
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: much more, and no wonder there was such an effort

316
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: to erase history, if you will, and to like you say,

317
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: almost in doctrinate our kids, take them away from just

318
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: a general understanding about what freedom is all about, what

319
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: religious liberty is all about, why it's so important to

320
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: the backbone of our country.

321
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 7: Gary, Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. Look, the central idea

322
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 7: of America is in the second paragraph of the dekclo

323
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 7: rat of Independence. It's about twenty two words. And the

324
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 7: left today hates these words. We hold these truths. Now.

325
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 7: See they don't like the word truth. That's a problem

326
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 7: for them right there. The left claims there is no truth.

327
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 7: Everybody has their own truth, but It goes on, obviously,

328
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 7: to say we hold these truths to be self evident,

329
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 7: that all men it means all mankind, that all men

330
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 7: are created equal and endowed by their creator, not by

331
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 7: their government, by their creator, and that's God, the God

332
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 7: of the Bible. They don't like that either, endowed by

333
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 7: their creator with certain unalienable rights. It means rights you

334
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 7: can't give up and they can't be taken away. And

335
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 7: among these are the right to life, liberty, and the

336
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 7: pursuit of happiness. That's the central idea of America. It's

337
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 7: been an indictment of tyrants everywhere. I don't believe you

338
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 7: could be an American child, even if you were born here,

339
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 7: let alone came here as an immigrant. I don't believe

340
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 7: you could be an American child unless you know there's

341
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 7: twenty two words and understand what they mean.

342
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: Gary.

343
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: Through the years, we've heard so much about separation of

344
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: church and state, just ridiculous that nauseum, you know, and

345
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: completely misinterpreting what was really meant by all that. But Gary,

346
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about today there are some out there who say, yeah,

347
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: not celebrate our country in our churches, you know. On

348
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: the fourth of July, weekend or something. And we understand

349
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: that our rights, like you said, come from God. But

350
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: my goodness, Gary, people want to brandish people as Christian nationalists,

351
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: all this insanity, etc. But just kind of some words

352
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: from your heart to pastors and to Christian leaders out

353
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: there to stand bold and courageous and unashamed of God

354
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: and country.

355
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 7: That's it's a great question. Tim. Look, if you're astor

356
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 7: and you're watching or you're listening, none of us want

357
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 7: you to worship America in your church service. We want

358
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 7: you to worship God. That's what the church is for

359
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 7: and his son, Jesus Christ. But you are a church

360
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 7: and a pastor in America in a country that you

361
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 7: don't have to worry about the secret police coming into

362
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 7: your church and dragging you out of the congregation. You

363
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 7: can preach what you want. This is a wonderful gift

364
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 7: as Christians we've been given to be in America. Now,

365
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 7: if somebody gives you a new car, would you let

366
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 7: it get dirty and never clean it? Would you not

367
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 7: protect it from damage? Would you let somebody mess it up?

368
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 7: You'd be an ingrate if you allowed a wonderful gift

369
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 7: of a new car to be harmed in that way. Well,

370
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 7: if you don't remind your congregation of the blessing of

371
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 7: America of how America's founding ideas are biblical ideas, well,

372
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 7: that would make you an ingrade. And I don't think

373
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 7: any pastor wants to be an ingrade. If you love America,

374
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 7: by the way, and you love Jesus, that's a description

375
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 7: of about ninety percent of America for an entire history

376
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 7: of our country. So that doesn't make you a Christian nationalist.

377
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 7: It just makes you a patriotic American Christian.

378
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: Gary, When I reflect on the Founding Fathers again, and

379
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: they wanted to get away from that tyranny themselves, and

380
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: they were pursuing religious liberty and more. You fast forward

381
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: to what we experienced over the last few years, and

382
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: it was pretty rough, weaponizing systems of government. You saw

383
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: people of faith being targeted by the government, brandishing them

384
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: as wanting to silence, shame them, put people in prison, etc.

385
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: Gary, that's awful.

386
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: Contrast that with this past week, President Trump joined a

387
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: call with faith leaders here in our country and openly

388
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: a friend of people of faith and standing staunchly for

389
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: and with religious liberty in this country, making sure that

390
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: we never go back into that kind of insanity all

391
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: over again.

392
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: Gary, that's a big deal. People need to understand how

393
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: big of a deal it really is.

394
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 7: No question about it. Tim. Look, this president is the

395
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 7: most pro religious liberty president in modern American history. And

396
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 7: it wasn't that many years ago, a little maybe around

397
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 7: a decade, when it was it was impossible to count

398
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 7: five votes on the Supreme Court that would uphold religious liberty. Well,

399
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 7: Donald Trump has three appointees on the Court, and now

400
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 7: it's easy to count six, a solid majority on the

401
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 7: Supreme Court to uphold religious liberty in all sorts of ways.

402
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 7: He's getting to bereocracy to examine their own actions, to

403
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 7: weed out any anti Christian sentiments in the federal government.

404
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 7: He's put believers all over the federal government. There are

405
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 7: Bible studies that take place in every government agency. Not mandatory,

406
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 7: of course, but we have multiple members of the cabinet

407
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 7: are Bible believing Christians and they invite people to their

408
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 7: office to study the Bible together. The list just goes

409
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 7: on and on and on. So this is a dramatic

410
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 7: change from what we just had a couple of years ago,

411
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 7: when the previous administration was sending FBI agents into church

412
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 7: services to monitor what was being preached. I say that

413
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 7: now it's even hard to imagine that that happened in

414
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 7: the United States of America.

415
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: Always great to see you, my friend. Go easy on

416
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: the hot dogs, haha. Bless you Gary, Thank you for

Speaker 1: and Israeli relations. Jurie Steinberg is with us.

Speaker 1: served as Israeli's Tourism Commissioner for North America. He currently

447
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: works as a consultant connecting Israeli and American faith based organizations.

448
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: He also serves as director of City Serve Israel, a

00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: branch of the Global Church Humanitarian network City Serve International.

450
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 2: You're what ad like to have you. Thank you for joining.

451
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 4: Us, Thank you so much, Thanks for having me, Doctor Clinton.

452
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: As we get started.

453
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: Your responsibilities there with Israel over the last few years,

454
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: tell us about that and now this new position with

455
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: City Serve Israel. Obviously there's a lot going on in

456
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: the Middle East, and we have talking a lot about

457
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: your personal journey, but just professionally, some people know who

458
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: you are and your role and function.

459
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 4: Sure, I guess I was called to some extent to

460
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 4: be a conduit, be a connector between the Jews here

461
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 4: in Israel and in America and the Christian world. We've

462
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 4: been living in a society where Christians and Jews have

463
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 4: been a part for too long, and I think it's

464
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 4: up to us two people like me and others two

465
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 4: be sure we create those bridges after many years of misconceptions,

466
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 4: many years of being a part. So I'm honored to

467
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 4: serve in various roles and try to be this conduit

468
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 4: and try to be this mediator and get us closer together. Obviously,

469
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 4: the last two years since October seventh have been quite

470
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 4: a test, and I can say that I'm super proud

471
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 4: to be working with pastors, with leaders with time and

472
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 4: time again in the last two years, I have proven

473
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 4: that their love for Israel, their love for the Jewish

474
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 4: people is above and beyond. So obviously we'll speak about

475
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 4: the challenges of here being in Israel, but I think

476
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 4: this is just a renaissance for Christian and Jewish relations,

477
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 4: unfortunately due to these circumstances. And yet it's incredible to

478
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 4: see how pastors and leaders are stepping up urad.

479
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: Over the last few weeks, all lives have gone to

480
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: the Middle East is and everything that's been going on

481
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: over there. Of course with Iran and President Trump pulling

482
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: off that incredible secretive but the successful military exercise where

483
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: they went in and bombed the Israel Iranian nuclear sites.

484
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: But hey, back and forth and the missiles, and we're

485
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: constantly seeing up on social media pictures of quote, you know,

486
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: this happening, that happening, and the stories of running into

487
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: bomb shelters and more.

488
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 2: You live in Tel Aviv.

489
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you on a personal level, what's

490
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: it been like for you and your family?

491
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 4: You know, I think we're all very tired. Right even

492
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 4: before Iran started, My kids have been going through this

493
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 4: reality of being in danger from the hoodies, from ramas,

494
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 4: from Risbola for the last almost two years. So I

495
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 4: think there is a there is a level of you know,

496
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 4: people are are fatigued and are looking to start something new,

497
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 4: and then and then we had Iran. But what you know,

498
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 4: on one hand, I think we are obviously we're afraid.

499
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 4: We understood that this is a whole new ballgame. You know,

500
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 4: Iran is not from us. And there was a level

501
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 4: of definitely, you know, being frightened running down to the

502
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 4: shelter several times a day and during the night. That

503
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 4: definitely takes a toll. You know, there's and there's no

504
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 4: doubt that kids, we will need some time to recover

505
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 4: from it. And yet there is something that you see

506
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 4: time and time again, which is the incredible resilience of

507
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 4: the people here in Israel. And you know how people

508
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 4: step up for each other, whether it's in your own

509
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 4: building and your own community, just neighbors that you don't

510
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 4: even know that are reaching out and to help people.

511
00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 4: So there's something extremely frustrating about going on run, having

512
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 4: a family and living a quote unquote normal life in

513
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 4: an unnormal situation where you have to explain to your

514
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 4: kids why do they hate me so much? And it's

515
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 4: not an easy discussion to have. At the same time,

516
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: you know, my heart bursts from how proud I am

517
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 4: of my family, of my community and my people of

518
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 4: being so resilient and honestly winning this hatred and this

519
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 4: evil around us.

520
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: You're we're fighting time a little bit here. But the

521
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: City Serve International Israel position that you have and the

522
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: humanitarian efforts that are going on over there quite impressive.

523
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: You talk to us about what you're doing for people

524
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,479
Speaker 1: who are displaced, how you're helping children, and you're building

525
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: a sports complex and more. But God's doing some amazing things,

526
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: and you've got a lot of people coming around you

527
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: wanting to support your efforts.

528
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 4: Yes, you know. After October seventh me and I'm about

529
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 4: my buddy. A pastor told Lamfair from Faith Advisory Board,

530
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 4: we came to Israel and we knew we need to

531
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 4: act and act fast, and we decided to take a

532
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 4: sliver of the Pie community that was three miles away

533
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 4: from Gaza, more than thousand people that were as refugees

534
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 4: in a hotel, and we decided to adopt this community.

535
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 4: And for the last almost two years, we've been helping

536
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 4: with so many projects and one of the main questions

537
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 4: that we've asked is what's your priority? What is the

538
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 4: number one thing that you guys want us to help.

539
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 4: And what we got back was very firm, and there

540
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 4: was no doubt about that. We need to help bring

541
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 4: our kids back to normalacy. We need to make sure

542
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 4: that this entire area that was hurt in October seventh

543
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 4: feels that it's okay to go come back. And we

544
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 4: do it through bringing kids back to play and that's

545
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 4: you know, play therapy. That's the way for kids to

546
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 4: get back and being kids again after such horrific times.

547
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 4: And I'm so proud that we were able to help

548
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 4: this community in so many different ways. And now what

549
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 4: seems to be are in the main pillar of our

550
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 4: activity is building a sports complex, pure and simple, three

551
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 4: miles away from Gaza, new pickable courts that are full

552
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 4: every night, basketball, soccer, tennis, ninja training facility. And what

553
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 4: he does it really elevates the spirit of the people.

554
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 4: And what it also does other communities nearby And you know,

555
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 4: are you talking about a community mile two miles down

556
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 4: the road are taking part of that And you know,

557
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 4: it's another piece of the puzzle. If a family says,

558
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 4: should I come back to this home all right? That

559
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 4: was attacked on October seven. Having a place where your

560
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 4: kids can go out, having a place where you can

561
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 4: register your kid for a tennis lesson is just another

562
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 4: one of those missing pieces of normalcy. And what people

563
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 4: have decided in this in this region, and I'm so

564
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,239
Speaker 4: proud that they're seeing Christians by their side helping them

565
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 4: out is they're choosing life, and they're choosing to go

566
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 4: back and to rebuild their life stronger and better. And

567
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 4: when they see pastors and it's the first time that

568
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 4: they've seen pastors in their life coming to them every month,

569
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 4: hugging them, loving them, donating to them, you know, the

570
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 4: impact that he does is just out of this world

571
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 4: and it's rebuilding this area in Israel that really needs love,

572
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 4: that really needs attention these days, and it fills their

573
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 4: heart with a lot of pride.

574
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: If people want to learn more about that project URI,

575
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: where can they go City Serve International slash Israel.

576
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 4: City Serve dot Us. We're on the homepage or Cityserve

577
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 4: dot Us slash Israel. You can learn all about what

578
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 4: we're doing there. Unfortunately, these days, we're also in a

579
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 4: position that we need to help out a lot of

580
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 4: the families in the center of Israel that are now

581
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 4: evacuated because of these massive Iranian rockets that have hit

582
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 4: their houses. So you have, just in Tel Aviv, you

583
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 4: have two thousand families that are out and about. So

584
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 4: we're sending them food, We're sending them toys, we're sending

585
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 4: them hygiene products. So that's another kind of front that

586
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 4: we're operating on as well.

587
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: Jerry, what I'd like to have you, We'll pray for

597
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 2: He's been wild week or so.

598
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 1: Here all eyes went to the Middle East President Trump, massive,

599
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean secretive and incredible military response with those strikes

600
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: on those nuclear facilities there and I ran, but HATI

601
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: it's just been an amazing whirlwind. But you know, there's

602
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: some real pluses in this thing. Just for a moment,

603
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: think about the military strength and people are talking about

604
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: how America is back.

605
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 2: America is back.

606
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 10: Well, we're respected in the world again. We just saw

607
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 10: this at the United Nations recently. World leaders who were

608
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 10: mocking President Trump just three months ago now are having

609
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 10: to admit that man, his leadership on the world stage

610
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 10: is actually needed and the world is safer today as

611
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 10: a result of American of the Americans engaging in what's

612
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 10: happening in the Middle East.

613
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 9: Listen, we've been on the receiving end of the bullies

614
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 9: of Tehran.

615
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 10: For forty years, and every president for the last several

616
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 10: administrations in my lifetime that I can think of, I said, oh,

617
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 10: we're going to do something about this, We're going to engage,

618
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 10: and they simply don't do it. President Trump was the

619
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 10: only president to have the courage and the moral fortitude

620
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 10: to do what needed to be done, and he did

621
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 10: it with precision and strength and courage. What a time

622
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 10: to be an American. Really, I'm proud of him.

623
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: HETI we learned it on the playground as kids. You know,

624
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: when you have a bully, the best thing he understands

625
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: is a good punch in the nose. You hear what

626
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: I'm saying, You got to go right at him. I

627
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 1: just want you to address this whole issue of peace

628
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: through strength. A lot of people's talking about it, but

629
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 1: from your perspective, what does it mean? What do you

630
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: think it means to Mama Bears and people over the country.

631
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 9: Well, I think it.

632
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 10: Means that we instead of acting on our emotions, we

633
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 10: act on our convictions. We act with moral courage and

634
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 10: moral fortitude. We saw Barack Obama. You know, they were

635
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 10: bullying when Barack Obama was the president, and his solution

636
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 10: was to give him money. Well, what happens when you

637
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 10: give a bully on the playground what they want, when

638
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 10: you give them the sucker of the kid that they're terrorizing,

639
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,240
Speaker 10: They're just going to come back and ask for more

640
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 10: the next time. And Barack Obama knew that. And we

641
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 10: know that in the last administration, Joe Biden knew you

642
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 10: couldn't do anything. That guy couldn't even tie his own shoes.

643
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 10: And so now we're seeing what it means to lead

644
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 10: through strength. Now Iran knows if you mess with the

645
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 10: United States, if you threaten death to America, we are

646
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 10: going to take out your nuclear capabilities. On the news,

647
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 10: I heard President Trump say if you do this again.

648
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 10: If you try to enrich uranium again, the results will

649
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 10: be devastating. And guess what now they believe him. Now

650
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 10: they believe him. And so I think we are going

651
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 10: to see a time of extraordinary movement in the Middle

652
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 10: East toward freedom for the Iranian people, beautiful people over

653
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 10: in Iran who have been terrorized by the Islamic regime

654
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 10: there now for many, many decades. And I think finally

655
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 10: we're seeing hope because the United States is leading through

656
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 10: strength Heidi.

657
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: In the miss of it, the President made a move

658
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: to broker a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran. Well,

659
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: there's been some bumps in the road, ere etc. Probably

660
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: some rogue military personnel, et cetera. But this thing, you know, hey,

661
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: we're praying that God will let this thing stick, you

662
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and that something meaningful will come

663
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: about in the Middle East. Hodey, just your take on

664
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: You've got some naysayers inside our country who really going

665
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,760
Speaker 1: after Israel. You know, they say in the Maga group,

666
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: was you know, being split down the middle over all

667
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. But just your take on where

668
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 1: you think God wants and how people of face should

669
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: be thinking about Israel and more.

670
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 9: Well, the Bible is really clear, and it's astonishing to me.

671
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 10: I was just at my friend, Pastor Jack Hibbs church

672
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 10: in Chino Hills recently and we were having this conversation

673
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 10: over lunch, and it's astonishing to me the turn of events,

674
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 10: especially in the Maga movement here in the United States,

675
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 10: as it relates to evangelical Christians who really should know better.

676
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 9: And the Bible is very clear.

677
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 10: You know, God's words says I'm going to bless those

678
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 10: who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel.

679
00:39:58,800 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 9: This is I do not.

680
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 10: See subscribe to replacement theology Israel. When God said Israel,

681
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 10: he meant it, and he didn't replace Israel with the Church.

682
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 10: Today we have been grafted in according to the word

683
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 10: of God because of the sacrifice of Jesus, and so

684
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 10: as believers, we need to pray for the peace of Israel.

685
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 10: We need to pray for the salvation of Israel, and

686
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 10: we need to support Israel. It doesn't mean that we

687
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 10: support everything that.

688
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 9: The Israeli government does.

689
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 10: Just like as a United States citizen, I don't support

690
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 10: everything that my government does.

691
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 9: For goodness sake, in the United States.

692
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 10: We have abortion legal in this country up until forty

693
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 10: weeks and I don't support that. But I love my

694
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 10: country and I pray for my country, and I pray

695
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 10: that it would come back to the Lord. That is

696
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 10: what we should be praying for Israel. We should be

697
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 10: supporting Israel, praying for Israel. And President Trump is standing

698
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 10: in the gap where Christians used to be and President's

699
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 10: Trump is standing in the gap for Israel right now,

700
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 10: and I'm praying for there to be a change. We

701
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 10: are seeing a rise of anti Semitism, and honestly, I

702
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 10: mean this is part of our discussion day.

703
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 9: I've been talking to friends all over the country about this.

704
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 10: I think the war in Ukraine has really soured Americans,

705
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 10: as it rightly should have on our interventionist activity overseas,

706
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 10: particularly as it relates to where we send our money

707
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 10: and our men. But I think the Ukraine war has

708
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 10: really made people We're just tired. People are tired of it,

709
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 10: and not all wars are the same. And I think

710
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 10: we need to look at Israel through a biblical lens

711
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 10: and also through what they are only real ally in

712
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 10: the Middle East, and we need to be careful how

713
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 10: we talk about Israel.

714
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 9: And how we respond to them.

715
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 10: I frankly, I'm encouraged by what I say happening with

716
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 10: President Trump, who stood up against the MAGA movement, which

717
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 10: a lot of them folded like a cheap dollar bill.

718
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 10: It was amazing to watch, really amazing.

719
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: How do you say, John, thank you so much for

Speaker 1: but I know this, God's in control and he's at work.

Speaker 1: your life. I hope our strength comes from the Lord.

764
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: Even as a nation. There's a great encouraging verse to

765
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: hold onto this week Psalm thirty three, verse twelve. Blessed

766
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,919
Speaker 1: is the nation whose God is the Lord.

767
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 10: Up.

768
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: You know also that you can look to God for

769
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: wisdom and direction in your everyday life. Let me also

770
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: say this, I've learned as a professional counselor that is

771
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 1: normal to have concern, maybe some fear or worry, especially

772
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: when life's not the way it's supposed to be. I've

773
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: also learned too that if you're not careful, it can

774
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: begin to consume you, control you. It's pretty easy to

775
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: lose perspective, maybe even hope. It can get so dark

776
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: for some they would feel like life would be better

777
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,880
