Speaker 1: how you believe in Calvinism. Can you talk more about

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,120

Speaker 1: I usually I usually vet these pretty good, but I

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: actually just walked into a hornet's nest and I'm gonna

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,440

00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: have preparation. In fact, Amber has never seen any of

35
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: these questions, and I only skimmed them. I didn't I

36
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: usually read the first couple of sentences and then I

37
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: can categorize them. If you have a question, email granger

00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: through it. And I want to give a shout out

42
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: to our Spotify listeners. I know we have a lot

43
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: on Spotify. Yeah. Shout out to the YouTube listeners and watchers.

44
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: Dress up for you guys on YouTube. Yeah. Apple, Apple

45
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: podcast app shout out to you guys. That's my preference.

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: I listen on Apple podcast. What do you listen on Apple?

47
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: You do? Yeah? Yeah? So I have kind of my

48
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: choice podcast. I watched this one though on YouTube. You

49
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: watched this one? I watch. I watch all your podcasts.

50
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: I sometimes will listen to this one in one and

51
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: a half speed. Oh yeah, to look for the cool

52
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: spots in it. And I like hearing myself. I don't

53
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: like carry myself talk regular speed. I like me, you're

54
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: talking real fast. Which that's funny because that's how I

55
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: do books. I do books at one point five, and

56
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: you don't. You read them at one on Audible. It

57
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: depends on the book. It depends because if it's a

58
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: really in depth book, I listen to it at one

59
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: because my brain can't comprehend something fast. If it's like

60
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: a news podcast, like I listened to Albert Mohler The

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: Briefing every single morning, and that's like my world news.

62
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: I take in at one and a half speed because

63
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: like if you listen to news really fast, Yeah, because

64
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: I can kind of tune in, tune out who else

65
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: who we shout out there's are there anybody else any

66
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: other way of listening to that? I don't know. I

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: don't know. I think you cover them all. Yeah, well,

68
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: shout out to my over the road truckers. I know

69
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: we have some over the road truckers, my early work commuters.

70
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: If you listen on Monday mornings, my listeners while you're working,

71
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, give a shout outs to that. Some tractor cabs.

00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: I know we listen to that. Yeah, we just speaking

Speaker 1: that was put on there for me. Oh Fair said that. Yeah.

88
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: is partners with me in this and Tyler, and so

89
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: he programs it, so he actually brings the radio mind

90
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: to it. So it's a legit radio station and we

00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: guys have asked, and I've categorized them a little bit,

107
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with one that the subject line says,

108
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: easy warm up question. Okay I did. I was reading

109
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: the comments last time and somebody said, could we read

110
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: the date that they were sent in? I guess just

111
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: to see how long it's been or this one was

112
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: sent Monday? Okay, says Hey Granger. My name is Kyle

113
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: from San Antonio. I've had the honor of meeting you

114
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: a few times around in San Antonio and Austin area.

115
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: First saw you way back at Chigarfest and always bring

116
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: it up when I meet you. Love everything you stand

117
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: for in all of your music. Thank you, Kyle. I

118
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: remember Tigarfest very well. It was crazy, says My question

119
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: is what's the story behind the arrowhead you wear on

120
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: your neck? I love arrowheads and recently began looking for

121
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: them at our ranch. I've had some success in finding

122
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: broken ones, but haven't found that perfect one yet. Did

123
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: you find one? Did you find the one that you

124
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: wear or was it passed down. It says, ps, if

125
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 1: you have that black and gold arrowhead ye ye shirt

126
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: you wore Whitewater Amphitheater and new bronfles in an excel,

127
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: I'll take it off your hands. Thank you, God bless Kyle.

128
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: Appreciate you. Kyle, thanks so much. Man. I'm glad you

129
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: liked the black and gold T shirt. That's going to

130
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: be an exclusive and I think Matt's going to start

131
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: selling it at our merch table. So maybe next time

132
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: you see us, maybe July fourth and Leander, if you

133
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: go to that, I'm pretty sure Matt at our merch

134
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: table will have them. Like this question. I don't get

135
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: it a lot. The arrowhead I wear around my neck

136
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: for most of my shows, I found well, I don't

137
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: know if I found it. Let me explain me. Dad,

138
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: Tyler and Parker have searched for arrowheads as a hobby

139
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: as a pastime at mom and Dad's house in central

140
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: Texas outside of Clifton, Texas. And it's a very arrowhead

141
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: fertile country. They're everywhere, and so it's been such a

142
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: good family bonding time. Like we'll go for Thanksgiving and

143
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: we'll eat Thanksgiving dinner and we'll literally go outside and

144
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: hunt for arrowheads for hours. You can't really do it

145
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: in the summer it's too hot, but Thanksgiving's perfect and

146
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: you could walk around the kids do it, and the

147
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: kids could find little pieces and they say, is this

148
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: an arrowhead? And it's just such a cool bonding experience.

149
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: And so at one point Tyler and I realized, after

150
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: Dad died, it would be really cool to make a

151
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: couple of necklaces out of the ones that we found.

152
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: So that's why I say, I don't know if I

153
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: found it. I feel like I remember that one though,

154
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: because it's pretty pretty perfect, and I feel like it

155
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: was after your dad passed and we found that and

156
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: somebody I don't know who, I think it was you.

157
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: It might looked straight down and it was just right

158
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: at your foot. Yeah, perfect, this perfect arrowhead. I found several,

159
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: so I don't remember which is which, but the one

160
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: I wear around my neck, either it's that one you're

161
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: talking about, or Tyler Parker or Dad found it. And

162
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: it's a really cool thing when you find an arrowhead

163
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: and you look at and you say, the last person

164
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: that touched this, who was that man, who was that woman?

165
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: What were they doing? What tribe were they in, and

166
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: it's just it's such a really neat thing. I love them.

167
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: And with that mentality, Tyler decided to make these necklaces

168
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: and we actually gave we've only given two of them away,

169
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: and that was to Brian and Tyler with what Georgia

170
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: Lyne Like. In twenty sixteen, we did a long tour

171
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: with them throughout Canada and the Northwest and we gave

172
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: them two necklaces with those arrowheads as a thank you.

173
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: That's on sounds like a weird bucket list item. I've

174
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: never found one, and that's been like I always want

175
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: to find them because they find them all the time,

176
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: and for some reason, I just haven't found one yet,

177
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: but I will. I'll find one out of Yenger. That's

178
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: so cool. I didn't know that. So when you do,

179
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: and you're so analytical, you're very observant, so you seem

180
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: like you would. But when you that first one, it's

181
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: really special because it's just like, yeah, I want to

182
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: find one so bad. Yeah, Okay, well, good question, Kyle.

183
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate your brother. I hope to see you fourth

Speaker 1: You've inspired me so much. Thank you, Destiny. This email

192
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: came January seventeenth, twenty one. We Amber and I have

193
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: been to Mexico the River or Amayas eight or nine times,

194
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: starting with our honeymoon. Ye, and we we like to

195
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: do an all inclusive where you go, it's it's relatively cheap,

196
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: and you can get a Southwest flight to Cancun from Austin, Texas,

197
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: and you can go get an all inclusive for three

198
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: or four days and you don't even have to have

199
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: your wallet with you. All food and drink and everything

200
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: is paid for, especially a couple's trip. Yeah, so we

201
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: usually do like a couple's trip. Other than and I

202
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: love I just love Mexico, and I love the culture,

203
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: and I love the food, and I love the people.

204
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: Other than that, we like to go to the mountains,

205
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: We haven't done that big family mountain trip in the

206
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: summer yet, like I've wanted to, but the kids have

207
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: been a little too young. They would complain too much.

208
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: But when they get a little bit older, I cannot

209
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: wait to take them to the mountains in the summer,

210
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: which I get to see a lot in touring. I'll

211
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: see it in July. We're gonna go to Montana and Utah,

212
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: Cherry Peak and Bozeman, so I'll always hit the mountains

213
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: during tour season. Also Boise we go over, We go

214
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: over to the mountain and Boise. We'll do that this year.

215
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: But we like to go skiing with the family, which

216
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: we skipped because of COVID, but we went to two

217
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: years before that and the kids were just starting to

218
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: really like it. Yeah, Lincoln really loves it. Yeah, Lincoln

219
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: loves the mountains. London's more of a beach girl. Probably

220
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: she gets out their too sickness. Yeah, but so yeah,

221
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: the beach and mountains. That's probably the most common answer

222
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: to any vacation question. Beach mountain. We want to take

223
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: them to Europe, though, I would love to take them

224
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: where we got engaged and we just don't know if

225
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: they're too younger appreciated right now. Yeah, that's that. That's

226
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: probably my favorite vacation. Yeah, we don't do it as

227
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: much because that's much more expensive than the other two options. Yeah,

228
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: on twice, right, just for our engagement. Yeah, twice, Yeah,

229
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: together as a couple, and then I've been several times

230
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: with friends. But yeah, so Europe. I love the history.

231
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: I love touring. Uh, I love backpacking. I love the food,

232
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: the food, coffee, everything. Yeah, thank you, Destiny. Let's see

234
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: and we're to start getting deep here. I'm going to

235
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: leave them up to you. We have a subject called

240
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: Let's do church speak. Yeah, church speak, it's different, says

241
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 1: Hey Granger. I've been following your podcast and because of

242
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: your your personality and ideals, I even gave country music

243
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: a try. That's awesome, he says. I've been a serious

244
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: pickle in my life, and your Christian testimony an example

245
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: of life, brings me joy in Christ and helps me

246
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: trust in the Lord more and more. My question to

247
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: you is this In a podcast with you and Amber,

248
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: you mentioned that you were invited to speak at a

249
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: church in Granger, Indiana. Did you do it? If it

250
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: is still happening in a future date, we would ask

251
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: that you would record it and put it on your podcast.

252
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear what you share in a church environment.

253
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: Not saying that it's something that you share on a podcast,

254
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: but just think would be an interesting episode. Ye yee

255
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Thank you, Bruno. And that's this

256
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: came February sixteenth. Was it online when you spoke? Yeah, Granger, Indiana. Yeah,

257
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: you can probably search it. It's called the Granger Community Church.

258
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: We did it skype because I was during COVID interesting

259
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: enough and I haven't reached out to them, but we're

260
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: going to be touring sixty miles from there coming up

261
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: soon in on a Sunday, so I might hit him up. Yeah,

262
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: but where do you want to start with this one?

263
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: Because this is an in depth Bruna doesn't know it's

264
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: in depth, but it is an in depth question here, Well,

265
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: what is it? He's basically just asking if you could

266
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: post it online, right, and I know, but it's deeper

267
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: than that, okay, because we have a lot more to

268
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: say about that. First of all, I'm sure that's got

269
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: to be online. But second of all, Amber and I

270
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: have actually been speaking to church a lot more and

271
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: we haven't talked about it really on socials. Amber spoke

272
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: last night. I did at a big women's group. I

273
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: spoke a couple of weeks ago at a big men's group.

274
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: Both of us were nervous for those that was my

275
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: first time was two weeks ago. You've done it before

276
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: by yourself, right, not by myself. I've led table, but

277
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: I've never gotten up and spoken to the whole group.

278
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: So I did as Amen's besides with you. Yeah, I

279
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: did a men's group and it was at seven am

280
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: a couple fridays ago, and my topic was leading yourself

281
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: through pain, and so I prepared and I built a

282
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: twenty five minute sermon, and I was practicing an on

283
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: tour like in hotel rooms. I was literally putting trash

284
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: cans on top of coffee tables to create a podium,

285
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: and putting my little iPad on top of the the

286
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: ottoman and practicing and so I practiced and practice and

287
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: built this sermon and then delivered it on at church

288
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: and was nervous. I don't know if it went that good.

289
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: I think it went great. You sent it to me,

290
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: and everyone that I talked to at church said it

291
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: did too. But I think we're really hard on ourselves

292
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: because when I spoke last night, I didn't feel like

293
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: I did the same thing you. I practiced and practiced

294
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: and had everything down that I wanted to say, and

295
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: then the Holy Spirit just takes over sometimes and what

296
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: you planned is not what God lead you to do.

297
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: And so sometimes the enemy can come in and tell

298
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: us that we didn't do good. But yeah, I know

299
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: that there's many, many more in the future. How do

300
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: I know that because I want to. I really want to.

301
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: I've written another sermon. I've written two in my life

302
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: back to back, and there were both in the last

303
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: couple of months. The second one I plan on. It's

304
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: a Sunday morning type sermon, so I plan on somebody

305
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: that will invite me to their church on a Sunday morning.

306
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: And I've delivered it to the dogs and the Cat

307
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: and then Amber at separate times in the barn. I've

308
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: said the sermon. So when I get my first invitation

309
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: for a Sunday morning somewhere at some church and some

310
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: city and some time, I'll say it to the world. Yeah,

311
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: and then maybe Bruno, I'll think about putting it on

312
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: my channel. Yeah yeah cool, Okay, what should I do?

313
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: I need some advice artist and the peacemaker, the lord

314
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: artist and the peacemaker. M Remember, we can't pick times

315
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: just because they're fancy, because then it takes away from

316
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: the people that say podcast question. Yeah, so this one says,

317
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: Hey Granger, I recently got married, and you graciously sent

318
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: my husband a cameo the morning of our wedding, encouraging

319
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: him and giving him great advice. He ugly cried when

320
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: he realized that it was you. Picture attached. Let's look

321
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: at the picture. That is a very pretty picture of

322
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: an ugly cry. He said it was one of his

323
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 1: top three moments of the day. Wow, because the cameo.

324
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: I love cameo for that reason, and I've got I've

325
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: gotten to love cameo more and more over the years,

326
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: knowing that it actually ends up being played in some

327
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: really intimate environments. People will play the cameo so we

328
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: get messages all the time about Hey, can you send

Speaker 1: him on cameo and we could send you any kind

331
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: of message. So moving on, Rachel says, since we've gotten married,

332
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: we've been more interested in each other's eneogram numbers. They've

333
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: helped us better understand and love one another. My question

334
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: is do you know yours and Amber's aneograham numbers? What

335
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: are they and how have they helped you create a

336
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: better union with one another? Thanks Rachel from Kansas City, Missouri.

337
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: Parentheses not Kansas. We did this. We took this test

338
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: in bed what a month ago or so? And I

339
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: don't remember. You're three another three? You're three and I'm

340
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: a nine. What does that mean? You are the achiever,

341
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: I believe, and I am the peacemaker. I think, oh,

342
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: that explains the title. Yeah, okay, the subject. So you're

343
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: your three and we looked up what we are together

344
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: as a couple, and it fits really well together. The

345
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: nines really helped the threes, and the threes really help

346
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: the nines. I support you and encourage you, and you

347
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: do the same for me. I read something on my

348
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: rise about both of us, so we should look it

349
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: up real quick on the nine and the three and

350
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: how we mesh well together. But just look up an

351
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: nine and a three couple ship enneagram. Okay, he's very

352
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:38,479
Speaker 1: driven and I'm kind of more laid back. So a

353
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: three the achiever says success oriented, pragmatic type, adaptive, excelling, driven,

354
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: and image conscious. Yes, and nine says the peacemaker, easygoing,

355
00:19:52,200 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: self ficing type, receptive, reassuring, agreeable, and complacent. So if

356
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: you guys want to read, I mean, we probably don't

357
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: have time to look it up. But if you guys

358
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: want to read what we are together, just google like

359
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: nine and a three couple ship together. But it fits

360
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: really well together and it works with our personalities, and

361
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: I think it fits us pretty good to a t

362
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: what our enneagram numbers are. Yeah, So it's a fun

363
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: little personality test if you want to try it. Only you,

364
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: as a guest would have remembered what mine is, and

365
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: there's no way I remembered three. I'm actually a nine

366
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: wing one. But what a nine wing one? You're normally

367
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: something and then you have a wing of another one.

368
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: So I'm a partly a little bit of nine wing one. Okay,

369
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: So we have what should I do. We have Graindeer,

370
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: I need some advice. We have the Lord, and we

371
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: have podcast question, Podcast question boom. It says, Hey Granger,

372
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: my name is Mallory. I'm from Pennsylvania. I heard you

373
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: and Amber on a rise and you're talking about how

374
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: you believe in Calvinism. Can you talk more about what

375
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: you believe surrounding that? Thank you so much for answering this.

376
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: I love watching your family logs and pray for your

377
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: family often. You're so inspiring. Man, I just walked into it.

378
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: You told me to pick that, you said, don't know.

379
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: I usually I usually vet these pretty good, but I

380
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: actually just walked into a hornet's nest and I'm gonna

381
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: have to answer it. Yes, we don't edit this podcast.

382
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: We just go straight through it. And we're going to

383
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: get a lot of backlash for it. Yeah, people, some

384
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: people are gonna start hating me right now. I do

385
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: it's tulip. Yeah, I learned that from from r C yesterday.

386
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: My heart's actually beating right now. Yeah, so people are

387
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: going to start hating me, and thank you. I'll just

388
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: I'll just dive into it. Calvinism comes from a man

389
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: named John Calvin. These were his doctrines, his ideas that

390
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: he derived from the Bible, and it it is a

391
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: what is it? What? What? How do I say it

392
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: without getting so much hate on the Internet and from

393
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: people not listening to my podcast anymore after I say it.

394
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: But it's a it's a way of understanding the Bible.

395
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: It's not a religion. It's it's I don't even want

396
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: to say it's a form of Christianity, because it is Christianity.

397
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: It is the essence of Christianity, and it's based on Scripture,

398
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: and it's as as we all know, there's different denominations.

399
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: Calvinism is actually not a denomination. It's just a form

400
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: of doctrine within the denomination. So you could be Baptist,

401
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: you could be Methodist, you could be Episcopalian, and you

402
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: could still be Calvinist. It's it's a way, basically. The

403
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: best way to say is it centers around grace, the

404
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: grace of God and what grace means. And before we

405
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: started this podcast we actually just started talking about it.

406
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: The best way to describe Calvinism to me is the

407
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: song Amazing Grace, Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound that

408
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but

409
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: now I'm found. Was blind, and now I see. That

410
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: is the essence of Calvinism. It's it's I had no

411
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: hope dead in my transgressions. God's grace alone saved me.

412
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: It was irresistible. I had no hope. It was irresistible.

413
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: And because of that, I have the highest maximum human

414
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: level of gratefulness because of it, because I'm no better

415
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: than anyone. No, I'm not smarter than anyone. I didn't

416
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: figure out a mystery past anyone. I was saved by

417
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: pure grace. I was a wretch. I was a wretch.

418
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: So the five points of Calvinism is total depravity, unconditional election,

419
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints. And

420
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: this is getting deep. And like I said, I I

421
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: don't like to talk about this in a public forum

422
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: because people will hate this idea. Yeah, but I believe

423
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: it with all of my heart. I believe it because

424
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: I've lived it. I feel it. I've lived it. And

425
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: more importantly than what I feel and what I live,

426
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: more important than all that, I see it over and

427
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: over in the scriptures. Every morning, I get up before

428
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: the the son comes up, and I pull out my Bible,

429
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: and I pray for understanding, and I pray for repentance,

430
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: and I pray for my family. And then I open

431
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: up the book and I have a reading plan, so

432
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: I pick up where I left off the morning before,

433
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 1: and I read and I see the truth, and I

434
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: see sovereignty in the scriptures, and I see peace, and

435
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: I see hope, I see love, I see God's wrath.

436
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: And let me try to explain these these five points.

437
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: Total depravity means I had no hope. I had no hope.

438
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: I was dead. I could not have fixed it myself.

439
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: Unconditional election means that God knew that before the beginning

440
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: of time. And you know, we've read through the Bible,

441
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: and I'm now I'm reading through it my second time,

442
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: and now I'm going through and highlighting specific words in

443
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: the Bible election, adoption, predestination, and those are words that

444
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: people don't like to share. These people are going to

445
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: hate us, but it's in the scripture that's right there.

446
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: You have a lot if you don't believe in unconditional election,

447
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: you have a lot of explaining to do with so

448
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: many scriptures over and over and over. Then it just

449
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: means that before the beginning of time, before you were

450
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: formed in the womb, God chose you and people. But

451
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: here's the key. He didn't choose everybody. Yeah, and that's

452
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: the problem. That's the problem people have, right. They say,

453
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: it's not well, that's not fair. How can you? And

454
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: it might Who am I to decide what's fair? Right?

455
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: Who can never know the mind of God? Yeah? So

456
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: the third is limited atonement, and this is another big one.

457
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: Limited atonement means Jesus didn't die for every human. He

458
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: only died for his chosen people. Who are we to

459
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: know the chosen? We don't. That's why you just have

460
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: to live your life in a way. He picks all

461
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: different kinds of people, from all different races, in all

462
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: different societies, and all different income levels, in all different

463
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: mental capacities, in all different ages. He picks them, and

464
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: he died for them. Why do we know Jesus didn't

465
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: die for everybody? Because Jesus also said not everyone is saved,

466
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: and he mentions, I'm not praying for the world, I'm

467
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: praying for those who you sent me. Talking to the

468
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: Father John seventeen. The whole prayer is really about this.

469
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: The fourth is called irresistible grace. That means God's grace

470
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: is so powerful you cannot stop it from hitting you.

471
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: It's irresistible. You can't choose, you can't choose. The grace

472
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: is so powerful it's going to overcome you. If you're reborn,

473
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: it's going to overcome you, and you have no way

474
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: to stop it. You just go, Okay, I'm in. That's

475
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: what we were just talking about before the podcast, about

476
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: how we are completely different people and that's what we

477
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: should be. The last piece of Calvinism is called perseverance

478
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: of the Saints, and that means that once you're chosen,

479
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: or once you come to know that you're chosen and saved,

480
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: you're always chosen and is saved and nothing, nothing you

481
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: could do, will stop it. That's another big hot item

482
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: because hot topic because people don't like the idea of

483
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Just murder somebody and you're

484
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: still good. No. The idea is, once you're saved, you

485
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: don't want to You're not going to anybody because you

486
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit. You feel that

487
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: conscience that's weighing down on you so heavily that you

488
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: just want to be better because you feel better by

489
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: being better. It's not a it's not a handcuff. You

490
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: know that you're just stuck. No, it's a freedom. It's

491
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: a freedom. It's the opposite. And the Bible says, no

492
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: one can take them from my hand. The Bible says

493
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: that no one can take them, take them from me.

494
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: So and that includes themselves. They can't ruin that. So

495
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: that this is a hot topic. A lot of people

496
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: hate it. If you google Calvinism, the other kind of

497
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: Christianity is Armenianism, and the idea is both sides are saved,

498
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: both sides are a Christian Both sides ghosts could sit

499
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: next to each other in the same view, in the

500
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:24,959
Speaker 1: same church. But Calvinism is is a form that I

501
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: believe because I believe that I was totally depraved, and

502
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: I believe that by realizing that that when I get

503
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: to heaven and face God, he's going to say, why

504
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: are you here. I'm going to say, because of your grace,

505
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: and he's going to go, then why did why did

506
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: the other person in your church not end up here?

507
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, I didn't. I didn't do anything,

508
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: you did everything. There's nothing I could do to brag

509
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: about being saved. There is no way to boast nothing.

510
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: It's the idea. I'll say this last thing. It's the

511
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: idea of the man in the ocean. There's there's two

512
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: ways of looking at the word saved, sa veed saved.

513
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: There's two ways of looking at it. Here's the first one.

514
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: You're in the ocean. You've been paddling, you've been dog

515
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: paddling forever, and you're getting so tired you can't do

516
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: it anymore. And God comes to you, sees you in

517
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: your you're tired, depraved way, and he throws you a

518
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: life preserver and you swim to it and you climb.

519
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: You put on the life preserver and climb up on

520
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: the raft and you lay on the raft and you

521
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: go God, you saved me. The other way, the Calvinist way,

522
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: is you're dog paddling, you're tired, you can't do it anymore.

523
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: You sink to the bottom. You die dead, dead in

524
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: your transgressions, totally depraved, unable to do anything. God comes

525
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the ocean, picks you up, take

526
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: you to the beach, breeze life back in you. You

527
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: open your eyes, revived, reborn, renewed, and you look at God,

528
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: and you go, you saved me. That's a very different

529
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: way of saying saved, kind of you saving yourself versus

530
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: God saving you, like you didn't reach for that life preserver.

531
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: Bring on the comments. Here we go. We're open to

532
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, we're open. Sorry, I'm sorry, just the deep

533
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: the deepest parts of my soul. Just I just see it.

534
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: I see it, guys, and I'm un ashamed to say it.

535
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: So we'll take a break and we'll come back. Podcast

536

Speaker 1: Today is brought to you, guys by Athletic Greens. This

537

Speaker 1: is a company that started endorsing this podcast. They sent

538
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: me a sample of their product. I went through the

539
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,200

596
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: I've been working full time for two years. The job

597
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: I currently have is not the career I want to

598
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: go in. How do I find the perfect career for me?

599
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 1: This was sent May thirty, first, twenty twenty one, and

600
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 1: there is no name on here. Okay, nineteen years old,

601
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: working full time for the last two years. Current job

602
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: is not the career. Yeah, that's yeah, that's understandable. You're nineteen.

603
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: It's understandable to see that the job you want is

604
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: not the job you have when you're nineteen. I didn't

605

Speaker 1: what were you doing your nineteen just graduated college? I

606
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: think I was waiting tables. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh I'm sorry,

607
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: just graduated high school? So yeah, right right, yeah, so yeah,

608
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: I was far. I was either you know, I'm working

609
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: for a paint contractor. I think that's what I was doing.

610
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: I was nineteen, ye I was waiting tables. Most painting

611
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: houses and plan get really bad gigs. And we knew

612
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: that was what wasn't our life goal of what we

613
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: want to do. It's just something to make money on

614
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: the weekends to go out with your friends, you know. Yeah,

615
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: So I would say, first, there's no worry you're nineteen.

616
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: If you're forty nine, this would be a different question.

617
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: How do I find the perfect career for me? It's

618
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: hard because we don't know what his passion is, what

619
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: he likes to do. So we just got to take

620
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: a broad stroke at it, and it would say the

621
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: first first question is do you need an education for

622
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: what you need to go into? So say, you know,

623
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 1: I really want to go into diesel mechanics. Okay, well,

624
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: there's a tech school for you that you need to

625
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: go to You need go to the trade school according

626
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: to what you want to do. Nineteen is the perfect

627
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: age to go to a trade school. If you say

628
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: I want to be a lawyer, Okay, now you need

629
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: to go to a major university or a community college

630
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: that you can then get into a major university. And

631
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: then you need to start thinking about saving up money

632
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 1: so then you can go to law school. And you

633
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: need to be thinking about that path. You want to

634
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: be a doctor, same thing. Yeah, I was going to say,

635
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: if you need to, if you know exactly kind of

636
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: where you want your career path to go, find a

637
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: place in that field that does internships and volunteer or

638
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: intern and still keep your same job if you can,

639
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: and just work a few hours interning at that location.

640
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong to with taking a stab at a

641
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: couple of different careers that you think might be interesting

642
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: and then you find out, you know, I hate this,

643
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: I don't like it. If you want to go to

644
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: law enforcement or EMT or anything like that, there's a

645
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: clear path for you to get a law enforcement or

646
00:37:54,080 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: EMT school. There's a clear path to do that fire school.

647
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: If you want to be an entrepreneur. Then you the

648
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: perfect path is what Amber said. You go to you know,

649
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: as you said, Georgetown, Texas. So they're like, there's Yetti.

650
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: You know, you go to YETI Coolers in Austin and

651
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: you go in there and you go have I want

652
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: to apply for an internship to work for you guys.

00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: I think this is a cool outdoor company, and I

654
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 1: would love to see just how you work through things,

655

Speaker 1: in Saint Louis, Missouri, they sell supplements. Really cool group

657
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: of guys and girls, and they they take on interns

658
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: that then turn into shippers in their warehouse that then

659
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: turns into some kind of management role and just keep

660
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: working up the ladder. A lot of companies do that, Yeah,

661
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: And it's okay if you don't, if you don't quite

662
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: know what you want to do. I don't think I

663
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: knew exactly what I wanted to do at nineteen. I

664
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: changed when I did go to college. I changed my

665
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 1: major about four times. And you already are getting something

666
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: good for your resume right now. You have two years

667
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: working in the same company that shows loyalty. So just

668
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: pray about it. Pray if you don't quite know. Pray

669
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: for guys to open up some doors for you, or

670
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: search your heart for what you might desire to be doing,

671
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: and just keep doing what you're doing until something, and

672
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: still something kind of sparks your interest or sparks what

673
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 1: you want to do. I have a suggestion to this guy, Corey.

674
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: It's his name right there, Corey. Why did I say it?

675
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: No name? It's in the first sentence. I don't know

676
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: my name is Corey Corey. I got a suggestion for you,

677
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: not knowing you, not knowing anything about you. I only know.

678
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: The only thing I know from you is four sentences

679
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: that you wrote. You're nineteen, you live in Georgetown, you've

680
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: been working for two years, and it's not where you

681
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 1: want to be. I have a suggestion. Marine Corps. Huh yeah.

682
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: The Marine Corps could offer the motivation that you need

683
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: to build your resume, to build your network, to build

684
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: your work ethic, to build your discipline that then can

685
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: catapult you into a host of other careers. That's probably

686
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: if I didn't have music, that's what I would have done.

687
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 1: I was in the court A and M. Everybody else

688
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: around me was going into the Marine Corps. So that's

689
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: and then I went to Iraq and performed. And when

690
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: I was with the Marines, I just felt at home.

691
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: So no offense to anybody else in Navy or air

692
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: Force or army, but I would say, you go to

693
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: your Marine Corps recruiter here in Georgetown, Texas and just

694
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 1: ask them do you don't have to commit to anything.

695
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: Just walk in there one day and just go. You know,

696
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: there'll be a guy, a sergeant sitting in there at

697
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: the recruiting office and just say, hey, my name is Cory,

698
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: just wondering what that maybe the Marines could offer for me. Yeah,

699
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: it's good, and and he'll go, all right, let's sit down.

700
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a cool guy. He's in he's in

701
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: recruiting for a reason. He's a good talker probably, and

702
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna go, man, do you like you like aviation?

703
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: Do you like mechanics? Computers? Do you like computers? Do

704
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: you do you like some action? You know what? Do

705
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,959
Speaker 1: you like jumping out of airplanes? And and the cool

706
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: thing about the Marine Corps. I don't even know why

707
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: I'm pitching this so hard. I have no idea why,

708
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 1: I have no idea why I'm feeling this right now.

709
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: But the cool thing about it, man, is it's like

710
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: zero financial investment. It doesn't matter how much you have

711
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: in the bank account. It doesn't matter what grades you

712
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: got in high school, it doesn't matter anything that you

713
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: have going on right now. It doesn't matter. You go

714
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: that Marine Corps recruiter and he could send you off

715
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 1: to San Diego next week, and you're on an airplane

716
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: and you're going to San Diego or wherever, and that's

717
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: that's pretty exciting if you don't have a you know,

718
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: a wife and kids right here, and you're looking for

719
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: direction and you're looking looking for the perfect career. I

720
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: don't know why on this podcast I'm telling you this.

721
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:55,879
Speaker 1: I don't know why. But Georgetown, Texas Recruiting Office, Oh rah,

722
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: there you go. I need some advice, and we have

723
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: the Lord. If two more, we're probably gonna have time

724
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: for another one. After that, Son, I'll go back to

725
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: the drawing board. Okay, I need some advice. Hey, mister Smith.

726
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: My name is Amber. I'm from Southern Indiana. I absolutely

727
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: love your music. And second, I need some advice. They

728
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: say God won't put you through anything you can't handle. Well,

729
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I could handle what is going on

730
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: in my life right now. My grandmother was rushed to

731
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: the hospital for emergency surgery in August of twenty nineteen. Well,

732
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: while she was in there, my grandpa got sick and

733
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: about a week later my birthday. On my birthday, my

734
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: grandpa was diagnosed with cancer. Sadly, he passed that January.

735
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: All the while my grandma was in the hospital slash

736
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: rehab and having more surgeries than In June, my dad

737
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: was diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully it was they were able

738
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: to remove it all with surgery. Then this past December,

739
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. Do you have any

740
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: advice on how I can handle all of this? God

741
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: bless you and your family? And ye he that comes

742
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: from Amber in February. Hi, Amber, first, just want to say,

743
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: that's a lot for anyone to handle. And I know

744
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: people all the time say God doesn't give you more

745
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: than you can handle. And I've said this for so

746
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: long that I think that he does. I think He

747
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: gives us more than we can handle because we're not

748
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: meant to carry it alone. We are meant to lay

749
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: everything at his feet, and we are never alone because

750
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: He is walking with us. So I just want to

751
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: say that. I think the Bible says you won't be

752
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: tempted right beyond what you can handle. Butt. It says

753
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: anything about you will have you won't have as much

754
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: trouble as you can handle. It doesn't say that. Now,

755
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: that's still like an old wives tell See they say

756
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: God won't put you through anything you can handle. It

757
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 1: doesn't say that that's the world. That's what the world's

758
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: telling you. The Bible says it won't tempt you beyond

759
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: what you can handle. Yeah, that's different. And I want

760
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: you to say, what because one situation her grandfather went home.

761
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: The other situation, her dad was healed. And I love

762
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: what we saw the other day that it gave me

763
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: a lot of peace and a lot of a comfort

764
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: from losing our son. Was that some sicknesses, some accidents,

765
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: some cancers, some things are not meant for healing. They're

766
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: meant for homecoming. And I love that word homecoming. Yeah.

767
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: And Second Kings thirteen fourteen, it says, now Elisha had

768
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:35,720
Speaker 1: fallen sick with an illness of which he was to die.

769
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 1: So I think about that for a second. Now, Elisha

770
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: had fallen sick with the illness of which he was

771
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: to die. Second king is thirteen fourteen. Now here's the deal.

772
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: Elishah was a prophet. He divided rivers, he undid poison,

773
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: he'd made axe handle's float, he caused oil to flow.

774
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: He healed leprosy, he raised the dead. But now God

775
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: says this sickness is for homecoming, not healing. I just

776
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: I love that tweet us all because yes, God can

777
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: perform miracles, and God will heal certain people, but other

778
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: times it's meant for homecoming. He's calling you home, and

779
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 1: I pray that you're a grandmother and grandfather had a long,

780
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: beautiful life, you know, and I pray that you got

781
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: to spend so much time with them, and I'm so

782
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: glad that you have your dad. I know it doesn't

783
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: take away the pain. It hurts, and it doesn't seem fair.

784
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: But we always talk about renewing our mind and changing

785
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: the channel in our mind, and I hope that you

786
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: can try to flip it to that perspective and know

787
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: that if you are a follower of Christ, you will

788
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: see them again and they're home. And I love that

789
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: they wouldn't want to come back to this earth even

790
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 1: if they could. I was in a meet and greet recently,

791
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: and there was a guy telling me something similar. He

792
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: had a lot going on in his life and he

793
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: was just pouring it on me in the meet and

794
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 1: greet and he just said, I just have so much

795
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: and I just don't know how I could handle it.

796
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: And I said, well, you don't have to handle it

797
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: for five years. You don't have to handle it for

798
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: ten years. You don't have to handle it for one month.

799
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: You just have to handle it today. Yeah, that's all

800
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: you have to do, just today. If today's too much

801
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: for you, just this hour. Yeah, just handle it this hour, man,

802
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: that's too much. Okay, this minute, Just handle it for

803
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: sixty seconds. You can do anything for sixty seconds. That's

804
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: too much. Breath by breath. And I've been there in

805
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 1: my life. I've been in a place in my life

806
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: where I couldn't handle an hour. So I had to

807
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: just deal with the next breath and guess what it came,

808
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: and the next one after that came, and that turned

809
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: into a minute, and then that turned into an hour,

810
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: and then it turned into months and then turn into years.

811
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: That's all we could do, guys. We're not built to

812
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: handle all this for a long period of time. Now,

813
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: we're not built. That's why we're being renewed day by day.

814
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,439
Speaker 1: That's why the mercies are new every morning. Are only

815
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: built to handle it one days. It's like what I

816
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,720
Speaker 1: said in the Men's sermon, It's like a Tesla car.

817
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 1: The battery has to be recharged every day. I don't

818
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: personally know. I don't drive a Tesla, but you have

819
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 1: to recharge the battery every day. On your cell phone.

820
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,760
Speaker 1: The cell phone that's not made to last for months,

821
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: you got to go back and charge it every day.

822
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: So that's like us. We got to go back, and

823
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: we got to go back to the source of our power,

824
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: which is Christians. We believe it's God and the Word

825
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: of God. And we go go back. We open our

826
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: Bibles and we open them and we look at it

827
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: and we go, God, I can't can't do this. I

828
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: got too much going on. I got there's sickness, and

829
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: there's death, and there's cancer going on in my life.

830
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 1: Or can't do it. And God goes, yeah, I know

831
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: you can't, because I made you. I know you can't.

832
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 1: So I'm going to sustain you just enough to where

833
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: you have to keep coming back to me and I'll

834
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: keep powering you. I'll keep recharging that battery, giving you

835
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: that motivation. I'll give you just enough why so that

836
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: you keep coming back to the refilling station. Yeah. And

837
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: his power is made perfect in our weakness. We're not

838
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: meant to try to be strong. And it's not some

839
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: power hungry god that goes on knew due to come

840
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: to me. He knows because he made us. That is,

841
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: if we keep coming back to him daily, then he's

842
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: going to give us enough energy and then then that

843
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: gives us peace and hope and love. And that's what

844
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: we need, that's what we crave. And so and Paul sayes,

845
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: the light momentary afflictions, Yeah, are preparing us. These light

846
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: momentary afflictions are preparing us for an eternal weight of glory.

847
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: They're preparing, they're doing something. This affliction you're going through,

848
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: Amber is doing something for you and for your soul

849
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: and for your happiness and for your peace and for

850
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 1: your love to do. It's working for you, that's what

851
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: it's doing. So when you asked me in your last

852
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: sentence any advice on how do I handle all this?

853
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: I say you can't. You can't, not alone, not alone. Yeah,

854
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: And there's so much peace in that. Yeah. And just

855
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: one more thing I think you said in the second

856
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 1: to last sentence. This past December, my other grandmother was

857
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: diagnosed with cancer. So enjoy every moment you have with her,

858
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: and be in this present moment, like Granger said, take

859
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: it hour by hour, minute by minute, spend as much

860
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: time with her as you can, and pray for healing.

861
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: You know, we can pray for healing, but we also

862
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: have to pray for God's will and for strength to

863
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: make it through whatever we're facing. But enjoy that time together,

864
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,399
Speaker 1: spend those extra moments with her. Yeah. And then none

865
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: of this means that you don't research doctors and research

866
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: hospitals and try to help them with their diet. None

867
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: of that. Of course, you're going to try your best

868
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: to do. That's part of That's part of God's will

869
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: for you as well. But through it, don't let it

870
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: start affecting you so much that you can't function, you

871
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: get paralysis. Don't don't let that happen because you can't

872
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: handle it all by yourself. And just remember that advice

873
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: that people gave you, that say God won't put you

874
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: through anything you can't handle, is not true. It's not

875
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 1: real advice. It's about temptations that's misunderstood. So when it

876
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: gets heavy, and when when it seems like it's stacking on,

877
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 1: that just means your your battery's going out. It's time

878
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: to recharge. It's time to take a Tesla back to

879
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 1: the to the garage. I wish there was a good

880
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: pickup truck analogy for that, because Tesla's we'll just use gasoline,

881
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: but diesel. It's like when you're driving down in the

882
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: county road and you're in the middle of nowhere and

883
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: your your your little needles on empty and you can't

884
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: see it a station. You how how much anxiety do

885
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: you have in that moment? You're so worried, and you

886
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: got the windows down and you're turning off the air

887
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: conditioner and you're just you don't know what to do.

888
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: But then you go over the hill and you see

889
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: that Texico station, that excellent station, and you pull in

890
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,240
Speaker 1: there and you start refilling that diesel in your truck,

891
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: and what do you get. You get, Oh, there goes

892
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: all the anxiety. It's gone. It's relief and peace, and

893
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 1: you just go, I made it. This is where I needed,

894
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: This is what the truck needed it needed to refuel.

895
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: You can't run on your fumes, so don't try to amber.

896
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: You're not. This is look through human history. You can't

897
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: do it. You can't this this time. This type of

898
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:29,760
Speaker 1: stuff leads to depression and anxiety and anger and anger

899
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 1: and guilt, and you can't function like that. You can't.

900
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: So thanks for the email. I hope this helped a

901
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: little bit. And I'm not trying to make it sound

902
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: like what you're going through isn't hard, because it sounds

903
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: sounds so hard, and it sounds like you're handling it

904
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: with a lot of gray stuff. Thanks for emailing. One

905
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: more here and the little group that I brought, and

906

Speaker 1: then we can go get more if we need. This

907
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: one is called the Lord says Hey Granger. My name

908
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,359
Speaker 1: is Nate from coll Colorado. Have been following her music

909
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: since two thousand and eight. Haven't stopped since. I've been

910
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 1: to every single show in Colorado and Wyoming since twenty thirteen.

911
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: I've been dating this girl for four years. Here it comes,

912
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: and both of our first priorities were to build our

913
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: relationship on the foundation of God. The problem is she

914
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: loves her big church in the city and I love

915
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 1: my small church in the country. He didn't say country.

916
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: I just wanted those say Earl dibbles. I love my

917
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:32,959
Speaker 1: small church. I've been attending for fifteen years. She came

918
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: to me recently saying that if I can't bring myself

919
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: to switch to her church, it just won't work out

920
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: in the long run. I don't know how to go

921
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: about this because I love my church and the people

922
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,879
Speaker 1: that go there, and her only reason to not come

923
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: to mind is because she feels being like she's being

924
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: judged by the small town atmosphere. I hope you could help.

925
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: I love your music and your beautiful family. I'll be

926
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 1: a fan till I die as a fan. Before you

927
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 1: met me, Nate is say how old? No, he is

928
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: a lifer man, lifer, EVI nation or brother you were,

929
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: You're my dude. This email came in January. Okay, so

930
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: it's been a few months since he said it. It's

931
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 1: been in the queue. What's your first reaction. My first

932
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:22,359
Speaker 1: reaction when you were reading that was I was trying

933
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: to put both of us in that situation, and my

934
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: gut reaction would be for us to go to both

935
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: with each other, both of us go to the small one.

936
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 1: Both of us go to the big one. I know

937
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 1: what time constraints and schedules and all that that might

938
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: not work. But when you're trying to build a relationship,

939
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 1: it's a lot of give and take and compromise and communication.

940
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: And I feel like if you felt so strongly, but

941
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: it sounds like you both do. But if you came

942
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 1: to me and said, I really love my small church,

943
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: I really want to keep going, I would go with you,

944
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: and vice versa. You know, what was your first impression.

945
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: There's a couple of things here. One there's great, there's

946
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 1: great news. They're not married. Yep, if you're married, this

947
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: is a different conversation. This is a much harder email

948
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: to talk about. Here's the discouraging part. Four years, been

949
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: dating for four years? Yeah, you've been in four Have

950
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: you ever been in a four year relationship? Besides now?

951
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: I haven't. Yeah, I've been maybe like three's kind of max,

952
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: you know, so, Nate, I would say, dude, first, why

953
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,439
Speaker 1: why are you still dating this girl after four years

954
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: and you haven't pulled the trigger? Why? Why haven't you?

955
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: Why haven't you popped the question? Is it because you're

956
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,720
Speaker 1: too young? Is it because you lived in different cities.

957
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: Is it because you're unsure, you're afraid to commit? And

958
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: any guys girls, let me say as girls, if you're

959
00:54:55,600 --> 00:55:00,399
Speaker 1: guys too afraid to commit, that just means he's he's

960
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: not all in. He's not all in, because there is

961
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: no such thing as afraid to commit. If you're all in,

962
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 1: you're just like, I don't care, I'll commit. I'm all

963
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: in in this girl. I want to spend the rest

964
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: of my life with the girl. I don't care. I'm in.

965
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what kind of commitment worries you've had

966
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: in the past, So I kind of worry about that, Like,

967
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: why are you else dating? It's been four years and

968
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: there's people listening right now that are probably disagreeing. Yeah.

969
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: Another thing that was a little discouraging is she said

970
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: if I can't bring myself to switch to her church,

971
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: then it won't work out. Bye goodbye. Like that means

972
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 1: she's just cutting it down, Nate, goodbye. Yeah, if that's

973
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: the deal breaker, like you won't switch the church, So

974
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm done with our I'm throwing our whole four years away,

975
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: You're out. That's kind of discouraging. I hope she's not

976
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: a podcast listener or maybe she could maybe maybe only

977
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 1: maybe she is Nate get out. This is episode ninety,

978
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: Episode ninety for eighty nine episodes. I've been softer and

979
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: I'm getting harder and harder. But hey, man, I build

980
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: this up. That build these podcasts up, like like we're friends.

981
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: And Nate he's my dude. Man, he's a Yuege nationer

982
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 1: since two thousand and eight. He's been to almost every

983
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: show in Colorado and Wyoming since twenty thirteen. We have

984
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: a bond. My shows in Colorado and Wyoming are crazy.

985
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: Those people not because of us, but because the people.

986
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: We have a bond. Nate is my bro, and so

987
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sugarcoat this for him when I know

988
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: he's a life for a Yege Nation or I'm not

989
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: gonna sugarcoat this if I was in there, if I

990
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 1: was sitting with him and we're sitting there in a

991
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: campfire and he dumped this on me, but I'd say, bro,

992
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 1: get out, because that's weird. It's a weird way for

993
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: her to say this is not gonna work out. If

994
00:56:55,719 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: I can't, you can't switch churches. That's just weird, right well,

995
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 1: And it's good that they're, like you said, they're not

996
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: married and they don't have kids involved. Because if you

997
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: do get married and you guys haven't resolved this, it's

998
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:07,720
Speaker 1: going to cause a lot of friction in your marriage

999
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,880
Speaker 1: and with your kids and how you raise them. Yeah,

1000
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: let me rephrase. It's not weird, it's actually normal if

1001
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: you're not totally in love. Yeah. I would have said

1002
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: something weird like that to a girl if I wouldn't

1003
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: totally end he or I might have said, like, you know,

1004
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: this might just not work out if you can't do this.

1005
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: So man, I just there's a lot of pride going

1006
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: on and kind of on both sides. Or maybe maybe

1007
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: she's she is way into him, but she's mad that

1008
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: it's been four years and he hasn't off the question. Yeah,

1009
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,919
Speaker 1: maybe that because of another thing. But regardless that, Nate,

1010
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: I feel like you would have done it by now

1011
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: if you were totally in As much as we read

1012
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: comments on these podcasts, now, I can just hear them

1013
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: ringing at me right now, like, yeah, dare you say

1014
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 1: that about them? That's my situation. But that's just not

1015
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 1: that's not a good enough reason. There's there's a marriage

1016
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: is a compromise and you're not married, but you're in

1017
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 1: a long term relationship and there's a compromise that has

1018
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: to happen. And if Amber, if Amber's right, hey, let's

1019
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 1: go to both. Then what do you say to that, Nate?

1020
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: If that's what, how much are you holding back? Nate?

1021
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: I should say that, how much are you resisting? Like?

1022
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe this is a good cop backcop Maybe you

1023
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: have told her the same thing, but you're not mentioning

1024
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: it on the semol Maybe you've told her I ain't

1025
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: going to your big city church. And yeah, and we

1026
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: don't know how often have you, guys both been to

1027
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: each other's I guess she said she feels judged when

1028
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: she goes. Maybe you nix both churches and find a

1029
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: new church home. Idea, find a new church home together,

1030
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: start from scratch. That's a good idea to meet new people.

1031
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 1: Let's hey, babe, I can't go to your church. I

1032
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: just don't feel comfortable. You can't go to mind you

1033
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: don't feel comfortable. Let's find a new one that we

1034
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: both agree on. Yeah, and if you can't agree on one, bye,
