WEBVTT - I have to be honest about this

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Granger. My name is Mallory. I'm from Pennsylvania. I heard

0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>you and Amber on a rise and you're talking about

0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>how you believe in Calvinism. Can you talk more about

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>what you believe surrounding that. Thank you so much for

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>answering this. I love watching your family logs and pray

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.599
<v Speaker 1>for your family often. You're so inspiring. Man, I just

0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 1>walked into it. You told me to pick that. Know,

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I usually I usually vet these pretty good, but I

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:33.840
<v Speaker 1>actually just walked into a hornet's nest and I'm gonna

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>have to answer it because we don't edit this podcast.

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:49.480
<v Speaker 1>We just go straight through it. What's up, guys, Welcome

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>to the podcast Special Treat. Today, Bernie texted me he

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 1>actually had car trouble's alternator went out in his truck.

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Hate it when that happens. Yes, had to call and

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>go through the repair process, and so he texted me

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:07.399
<v Speaker 1>kind of last minute and said, hey, man, I'm not

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to make it, so we rescheduled

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>for next week. So the next episode, well you I

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>think Chad's next anyway, He'll be soon. But special guest Amber,

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I repeat from last week, we get to do this again.

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm back I am the backup. So sorry, guys. If

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you guys we're wanting Bernie, I like, you're not a backup.

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>You're a good You're a really really good guest. Everyone

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>loves you. And what's cool about this is where you

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>did the podcast last week. We put these out every Monday,

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.120
<v Speaker 1>and some of the questions we didn't get to last week,

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>we'll now get to see them on this episode. So, guys,

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>what we do on this podcast, if you're new, is

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>we're going to read your questions and we're going to

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>walk through them with you, as if you're sitting in

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the room with us, as if there's three of us

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and you say, hey, can I talk to you about something.

0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>We don't have notes, we don't have books, we don't

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>have preparation. In fact, Amber has never seen any of

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>these questions, and I only skimmed them. I didn't I

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>usually read the first couple of sentences and then I

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>can categorize them. If you have a question, email granger

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:16.920

<v Speaker 1>up to me and my guests to help you walk

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>through it. And I want to give a shout out

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>to our Spotify listeners. I know we have a lot

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>on Spotify. Yeah. Shout out to the YouTube listeners and watchers.

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.079
<v Speaker 1>Dress up for you guys on YouTube. Yeah. Apple, Apple

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>podcast app shout out to you guys. That's my preference.

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I listen on Apple podcast. What do you listen on Apple?

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>You do? Yeah? Yeah? So I have kind of my

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>choice podcast. I watched this one though on YouTube. You

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 1>watched this one? I watch. I watch all your podcasts.

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I sometimes will listen to this one in one and

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>a half speed. Oh yeah, to look for the cool

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>spots in it. And I like hearing myself. I don't

0:02:59.919 --> 0:03:01.799
<v Speaker 1>like carry myself talk regular speed. I like me, you're

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>talking real fast. Which that's funny because that's how I

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>do books. I do books at one point five, and

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 1>you don't. You read them at one on Audible. It

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>depends on the book. It depends because if it's a

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>really in depth book, I listen to it at one

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 1>because my brain can't comprehend something fast. If it's like

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>a news podcast, like I listened to Albert Mohler The

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Briefing every single morning, and that's like my world news.

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I take in at one and a half speed because

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 1>like if you listen to news really fast, Yeah, because

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I can kind of tune in, tune out who else

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>who we shout out there's are there anybody else any

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>other way of listening to that? I don't know. I

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I think you cover them all. Yeah, well,

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 1>shout out to my over the road truckers. I know

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>we have some over the road truckers, my early work commuters.

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 1>If you listen on Monday mornings, my listeners while you're working,

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, give a shout outs to that. Some tractor cabs.

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I know we listen to that. Yeah, we just speaking

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>of We just announced EEE Radio so exciting. So that's

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.800

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>And it streams twenty four to seven. Yeah, I got

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.359
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to my mom yesterday and she's we

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:31.600
<v Speaker 1>got to hear it a little bit like it was

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>out before people, Yeah, before you announce it, before we

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>announced it, and she heard Matchbox twenty, so I heard

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.839
<v Speaker 1>that was put on there for me. Oh Fair said that. Yeah.

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Ant Man, who's been programming radio stations for like thirty years,

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>is partners with me in this and Tyler, and so

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>he programs it, so he actually brings the radio mind

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.919
<v Speaker 1>to it. So it's a legit radio station and we

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>have big plans for it, but we're excited. So whenever

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you hear this podcast, just know that right now, if

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 1>you download it, you're gonna hear or Earl working on it.

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like a bunch of sound effects of Earl working

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>on the building, the app, building the radio station, excuse me.

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 1>And then on July second, at ten am Central, it's

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna boom, open up, and you want to hear it

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:18.479
<v Speaker 1>at ten am Central because that's when the app starts

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>for the first time, the station, the radio station starts

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.280
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna want to hear the funny little thing

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>that we built, the skit that we built for Earl

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>to launch to kick this thing off. And then we're

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:33.000

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>streaming on UE Radio. Awesome. Yeah yeah, make sure you

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>tell your friends. So, going to these questions that you

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>guys have asked, and I've categorized them a little bit,

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna start with one that the subject line says,

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>easy warm up question. Okay I did. I was reading

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the comments last time and somebody said, could we read

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.479
<v Speaker 1>the date that they were sent in? I guess just

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>to see how long it's been or this one was

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 1>sent Monday? Okay, says Hey Granger. My name is Kyle

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.359
<v Speaker 1>from San Antonio. I've had the honor of meeting you

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>a few times around in San Antonio and Austin area.

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>First saw you way back at Chigarfest and always bring

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>it up when I meet you. Love everything you stand

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.040
<v Speaker 1>for in all of your music. Thank you, Kyle. I

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 1>remember Tigarfest very well. It was crazy, says My question

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 1>is what's the story behind the arrowhead you wear on

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>your neck? I love arrowheads and recently began looking for

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.159
<v Speaker 1>them at our ranch. I've had some success in finding

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>broken ones, but haven't found that perfect one yet. Did

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 1>you find one? Did you find the one that you

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>wear or was it passed down. It says, ps, if

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.679
<v Speaker 1>you have that black and gold arrowhead ye ye shirt

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.839
<v Speaker 1>you wore Whitewater Amphitheater and new bronfles in an excel,

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll take it off your hands. Thank you, God bless Kyle.

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate you. Kyle, thanks so much. Man. I'm glad you

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>liked the black and gold T shirt. That's going to

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:50.920
<v Speaker 1>be an exclusive and I think Matt's going to start

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:52.840
<v Speaker 1>selling it at our merch table. So maybe next time

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>you see us, maybe July fourth and Leander, if you

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 1>go to that, I'm pretty sure Matt at our merch

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:01.280
<v Speaker 1>table will have them. Like this question. I don't get

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.280
<v Speaker 1>it a lot. The arrowhead I wear around my neck

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>for most of my shows, I found well, I don't

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 1>know if I found it. Let me explain me. Dad,

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Tyler and Parker have searched for arrowheads as a hobby

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>as a pastime at mom and Dad's house in central

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Texas outside of Clifton, Texas. And it's a very arrowhead

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>fertile country. They're everywhere, and so it's been such a

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>good family bonding time. Like we'll go for Thanksgiving and

0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll eat Thanksgiving dinner and we'll literally go outside and

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>hunt for arrowheads for hours. You can't really do it

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>in the summer it's too hot, but Thanksgiving's perfect and

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 1>you could walk around the kids do it, and the

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 1>kids could find little pieces and they say, is this

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>an arrowhead? And it's just such a cool bonding experience.

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.600
<v Speaker 1>And so at one point Tyler and I realized, after

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Dad died, it would be really cool to make a

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 1>couple of necklaces out of the ones that we found.

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 1>So that's why I say, I don't know if I

0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 1>found it. I feel like I remember that one though,

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>because it's pretty pretty perfect, and I feel like it

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>was after your dad passed and we found that and

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody I don't know who, I think it was you.

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 1>It might looked straight down and it was just right

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 1>at your foot. Yeah, perfect, this perfect arrowhead. I found several,

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>so I don't remember which is which, but the one

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I wear around my neck, either it's that one you're

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about, or Tyler Parker or Dad found it. And

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a really cool thing when you find an arrowhead

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:31.720
<v Speaker 1>and you look at and you say, the last person

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 1>that touched this, who was that man, who was that woman?

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 1>What were they doing? What tribe were they in, and

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.960
<v Speaker 1>it's just it's such a really neat thing. I love them.

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>And with that mentality, Tyler decided to make these necklaces

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>and we actually gave we've only given two of them away,

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and that was to Brian and Tyler with what Georgia

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Lyne Like. In twenty sixteen, we did a long tour

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 1>with them throughout Canada and the Northwest and we gave

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.840
<v Speaker 1>them two necklaces with those arrowheads as a thank you.

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>That's on sounds like a weird bucket list item. I've

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>never found one, and that's been like I always want

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 1>to find them because they find them all the time,

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and for some reason, I just haven't found one yet,

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 1>but I will. I'll find one out of Yenger. That's

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 1>so cool. I didn't know that. So when you do,

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:23.559
<v Speaker 1>and you're so analytical, you're very observant, so you seem

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>like you would. But when you that first one, it's

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>really special because it's just like, yeah, I want to

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>find one so bad. Yeah, Okay, well, good question, Kyle.

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate your brother. I hope to see you fourth

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 1>of July and the Leander I'm going to hit another.

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>I saw another and easy softball. In here, it says, hey, grade,

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>your My name is Destiny Campbell from Crawford, Texas. Speaking

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.160
<v Speaker 1>of that's not too far from Clifton. Crawford has a

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.079
<v Speaker 1>lot of arrowheads. So I have a question for you.

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Where would you and your family go for vacation. I'm

0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>not expecting your reply, but I hope you see this.

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>You've inspired me so much. Thank you, Destiny. This email

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 1>came January seventeenth, twenty one. We Amber and I have

0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 1>been to Mexico the River or Amayas eight or nine times,

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>starting with our honeymoon. Ye, and we we like to

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:26.480
<v Speaker 1>do an all inclusive where you go, it's it's relatively cheap,

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 1>and you can get a Southwest flight to Cancun from Austin, Texas,

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 1>and you can go get an all inclusive for three

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>or four days and you don't even have to have

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.320
<v Speaker 1>your wallet with you. All food and drink and everything

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 1>is paid for, especially a couple's trip. Yeah, so we

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:49.280
<v Speaker 1>usually do like a couple's trip. Other than and I

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 1>love I just love Mexico, and I love the culture,

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>and I love the food, and I love the people.

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Other than that, we like to go to the mountains,

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 1>We haven't done that big family mountain trip in the

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>summer yet, like I've wanted to, but the kids have

0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.880
<v Speaker 1>been a little too young. They would complain too much.

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.000
<v Speaker 1>But when they get a little bit older, I cannot

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 1>wait to take them to the mountains in the summer,

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>which I get to see a lot in touring. I'll

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>see it in July. We're gonna go to Montana and Utah,

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Cherry Peak and Bozeman, so I'll always hit the mountains

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 1>during tour season. Also Boise we go over, We go

0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 1>over to the mountain and Boise. We'll do that this year.

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.200
<v Speaker 1>But we like to go skiing with the family, which

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 1>we skipped because of COVID, but we went to two

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>years before that and the kids were just starting to

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 1>really like it. Yeah, Lincoln really loves it. Yeah, Lincoln

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 1>loves the mountains. London's more of a beach girl. Probably

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>she gets out their too sickness. Yeah, but so yeah,

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the beach and mountains. That's probably the most common answer

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>to any vacation question. Beach mountain. We want to take

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 1>them to Europe, though, I would love to take them

0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 1>where we got engaged and we just don't know if

0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.079
<v Speaker 1>they're too younger appreciated right now. Yeah, that's that. That's

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 1>probably my favorite vacation. Yeah, we don't do it as

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>much because that's much more expensive than the other two options. Yeah,

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 1>on twice, right, just for our engagement. Yeah, twice, Yeah,

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.720
<v Speaker 1>together as a couple, and then I've been several times

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>with friends. But yeah, so Europe. I love the history.

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I love touring. Uh, I love backpacking. I love the food,

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>the food, coffee, everything. Yeah, thank you, Destiny. Let's see

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 1>what we got here. We're gonna get we have time,

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 1>and we're to start getting deep here. I'm going to

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>leave them up to you. We have a subject called

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.840
<v Speaker 1>what should I Do? I have a subject called church Speak.

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>We have I need some advice we need. We have

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>one called the Artist and the Peacemaker. We have one

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:50.320
<v Speaker 1>called the Lord podcast question and yeah, there we go.

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's do church speak. Yeah, church speak, it's different, says

0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Hey Granger. I've been following your podcast and because of

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 1>your your personality and ideals, I even gave country music

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a try. That's awesome, he says. I've been a serious

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 1>pickle in my life, and your Christian testimony an example

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.080
<v Speaker 1>of life, brings me joy in Christ and helps me

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 1>trust in the Lord more and more. My question to

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.320
<v Speaker 1>you is this In a podcast with you and Amber,

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.199
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned that you were invited to speak at a

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>church in Granger, Indiana. Did you do it? If it

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.839
<v Speaker 1>is still happening in a future date, we would ask

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 1>that you would record it and put it on your podcast.

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to hear what you share in a church environment.

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Not saying that it's something that you share on a podcast,

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.360
<v Speaker 1>but just think would be an interesting episode. Ye yee

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Thank you, Bruno. And that's this

0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:54.319
<v Speaker 1>came February sixteenth. Was it online when you spoke? Yeah, Granger, Indiana. Yeah,

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 1>you can probably search it. It's called the Granger Community Church.

0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 1>We did it skype because I was during COVID interesting

0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>enough and I haven't reached out to them, but we're

0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be touring sixty miles from there coming up

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>soon in on a Sunday, so I might hit him up. Yeah,

0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 1>but where do you want to start with this one?

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Because this is an in depth Bruna doesn't know it's

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 1>in depth, but it is an in depth question here, Well,

0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.360
<v Speaker 1>what is it? He's basically just asking if you could

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 1>post it online, right, and I know, but it's deeper

0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.440
<v Speaker 1>than that, okay, because we have a lot more to

0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>say about that. First of all, I'm sure that's got

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 1>to be online. But second of all, Amber and I

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 1>have actually been speaking to church a lot more and

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 1>we haven't talked about it really on socials. Amber spoke

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 1>last night. I did at a big women's group. I

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.440
<v Speaker 1>spoke a couple of weeks ago at a big men's group.

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Both of us were nervous for those that was my

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 1>first time was two weeks ago. You've done it before

0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.240
<v Speaker 1>by yourself, right, not by myself. I've led table, but

0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 1>I've never gotten up and spoken to the whole group.

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 1>So I did as Amen's besides with you. Yeah, I

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 1>did a men's group and it was at seven am

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:17.200
<v Speaker 1>a couple fridays ago, and my topic was leading yourself

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.520
<v Speaker 1>through pain, and so I prepared and I built a

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:25.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty five minute sermon, and I was practicing an on

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 1>tour like in hotel rooms. I was literally putting trash

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 1>cans on top of coffee tables to create a podium,

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 1>and putting my little iPad on top of the the

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:43.720
<v Speaker 1>ottoman and practicing and so I practiced and practice and

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.760
<v Speaker 1>built this sermon and then delivered it on at church

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 1>and was nervous. I don't know if it went that good.

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it went great. You sent it to me,

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and everyone that I talked to at church said it

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 1>did too. But I think we're really hard on ourselves

0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 1>because when I spoke last night, I didn't feel like

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I did the same thing you. I practiced and practiced

0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 1>and had everything down that I wanted to say, and

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 1>then the Holy Spirit just takes over sometimes and what

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 1>you planned is not what God lead you to do.

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 1>And so sometimes the enemy can come in and tell

0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>us that we didn't do good. But yeah, I know

0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 1>that there's many, many more in the future. How do

0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I know that because I want to. I really want to.

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I've written another sermon. I've written two in my life

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>back to back, and there were both in the last

0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:31.080
<v Speaker 1>couple of months. The second one I plan on. It's

0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:34.240
<v Speaker 1>a Sunday morning type sermon, so I plan on somebody

0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.160
<v Speaker 1>that will invite me to their church on a Sunday morning.

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 1>And I've delivered it to the dogs and the Cat

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.680
<v Speaker 1>and then Amber at separate times in the barn. I've

0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:48.120
<v Speaker 1>said the sermon. So when I get my first invitation

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 1>for a Sunday morning somewhere at some church and some

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:55.920
<v Speaker 1>city and some time, I'll say it to the world. Yeah,

0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 1>and then maybe Bruno, I'll think about putting it on

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:07.240
<v Speaker 1>my channel. Yeah yeah cool, Okay, what should I do?

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I need some advice artist and the peacemaker, the lord

0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:18.600
<v Speaker 1>artist and the peacemaker. M Remember, we can't pick times

0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 1>just because they're fancy, because then it takes away from

0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the people that say podcast question. Yeah, so this one says,

0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Hey Granger, I recently got married, and you graciously sent

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.600
<v Speaker 1>my husband a cameo the morning of our wedding, encouraging

0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.920
<v Speaker 1>him and giving him great advice. He ugly cried when

0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.719
<v Speaker 1>he realized that it was you. Picture attached. Let's look

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>at the picture. That is a very pretty picture of

0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:47.919
<v Speaker 1>an ugly cry. He said it was one of his

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:51.479
<v Speaker 1>top three moments of the day. Wow, because the cameo.

0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I love cameo for that reason, and I've got I've

0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:57.720
<v Speaker 1>gotten to love cameo more and more over the years,

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.880
<v Speaker 1>knowing that it actually ends up being played in some

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 1>really intimate environments. People will play the cameo so we

0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.320
<v Speaker 1>get messages all the time about Hey, can you send

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 1>so and to a birthday message? So just search search

0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 1>him on cameo and we could send you any kind

0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:17.879
<v Speaker 1>of message. So moving on, Rachel says, since we've gotten married,

0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:22.160
<v Speaker 1>we've been more interested in each other's eneogram numbers. They've

0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.639
<v Speaker 1>helped us better understand and love one another. My question

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:28.320
<v Speaker 1>is do you know yours and Amber's aneograham numbers? What

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.359
<v Speaker 1>are they and how have they helped you create a

0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:35.879
<v Speaker 1>better union with one another? Thanks Rachel from Kansas City, Missouri.

0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Parentheses not Kansas. We did this. We took this test

0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:45.639
<v Speaker 1>in bed what a month ago or so? And I

0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 1>don't remember. You're three another three? You're three and I'm

0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:50.879
<v Speaker 1>a nine. What does that mean? You are the achiever,

0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I believe, and I am the peacemaker. I think, oh,

0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 1>that explains the title. Yeah, okay, the subject. So you're

0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 1>your three and we looked up what we are together

0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.240
<v Speaker 1>as a couple, and it fits really well together. The

0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:07.679
<v Speaker 1>nines really helped the threes, and the threes really help

0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:13.399
<v Speaker 1>the nines. I support you and encourage you, and you

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.600
<v Speaker 1>do the same for me. I read something on my

0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 1>rise about both of us, so we should look it

0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:20.119
<v Speaker 1>up real quick on the nine and the three and

0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:24.600
<v Speaker 1>how we mesh well together. But just look up an

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:30.840
<v Speaker 1>nine and a three couple ship enneagram. Okay, he's very

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:38.479
<v Speaker 1>driven and I'm kind of more laid back. So a

0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:45.439
<v Speaker 1>three the achiever says success oriented, pragmatic type, adaptive, excelling, driven,

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:51.440
<v Speaker 1>and image conscious. Yes, and nine says the peacemaker, easygoing,

0:19:52.200 --> 0:20:00.159
<v Speaker 1>self ficing type, receptive, reassuring, agreeable, and complacent. So if

0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:01.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys want to read, I mean, we probably don't

0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:03.080
<v Speaker 1>have time to look it up. But if you guys

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 1>want to read what we are together, just google like

0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:07.879
<v Speaker 1>nine and a three couple ship together. But it fits

0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.199
<v Speaker 1>really well together and it works with our personalities, and

0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.159
<v Speaker 1>I think it fits us pretty good to a t

0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:14.960
<v Speaker 1>what our enneagram numbers are. Yeah, So it's a fun

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 1>little personality test if you want to try it. Only you,

0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:20.880
<v Speaker 1>as a guest would have remembered what mine is, and

0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.120
<v Speaker 1>there's no way I remembered three. I'm actually a nine

0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 1>wing one. But what a nine wing one? You're normally

0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:30.760
<v Speaker 1>something and then you have a wing of another one.

0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:36.359
<v Speaker 1>So I'm a partly a little bit of nine wing one. Okay,

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:41.000
<v Speaker 1>So we have what should I do. We have Graindeer,

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I need some advice. We have the Lord, and we

0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:49.200
<v Speaker 1>have podcast question, Podcast question boom. It says, Hey Granger,

0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:52.399
<v Speaker 1>my name is Mallory. I'm from Pennsylvania. I heard you

0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and Amber on a rise and you're talking about how

0:20:56.000 --> 0:21:00.520
<v Speaker 1>you believe in Calvinism. Can you talk more about what

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 1>you believe surrounding that? Thank you so much for answering this.

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.199
<v Speaker 1>I love watching your family logs and pray for your

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:11.320
<v Speaker 1>family often. You're so inspiring. Man, I just walked into it.

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:15.240
<v Speaker 1>You told me to pick that, you said, don't know.

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I usually I usually vet these pretty good, but I

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:22.400
<v Speaker 1>actually just walked into a hornet's nest and I'm gonna

0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:24.960
<v Speaker 1>have to answer it. Yes, we don't edit this podcast.

0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 1>We just go straight through it. And we're going to

0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:32.080
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of backlash for it. Yeah, people, some

0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:35.200
<v Speaker 1>people are gonna start hating me right now. I do

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:40.800
<v Speaker 1>it's tulip. Yeah, I learned that from from r C yesterday.

0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:49.520
<v Speaker 1>My heart's actually beating right now. Yeah, so people are

0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:57.960
<v Speaker 1>going to start hating me, and thank you. I'll just

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll just dive into it. Calvinism comes from a man

0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.639
<v Speaker 1>named John Calvin. These were his doctrines, his ideas that

0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:15.240
<v Speaker 1>he derived from the Bible, and it it is a

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:18.280
<v Speaker 1>what is it? What? What? How do I say it

0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:23.120
<v Speaker 1>without getting so much hate on the Internet and from

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.480
<v Speaker 1>people not listening to my podcast anymore after I say it.

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:28.960
<v Speaker 1>But it's a it's a way of understanding the Bible.

0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 1>It's not a religion. It's it's I don't even want

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 1>to say it's a form of Christianity, because it is Christianity.

0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:42.240
<v Speaker 1>It is the essence of Christianity, and it's based on Scripture,

0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's as as we all know, there's different denominations.

0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Calvinism is actually not a denomination. It's just a form

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:53.120
<v Speaker 1>of doctrine within the denomination. So you could be Baptist,

0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:56.720
<v Speaker 1>you could be Methodist, you could be Episcopalian, and you

0:22:56.720 --> 0:23:03.679
<v Speaker 1>could still be Calvinist. It's it's a way, basically. The

0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:06.359
<v Speaker 1>best way to say is it centers around grace, the

0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:09.919
<v Speaker 1>grace of God and what grace means. And before we

0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:12.639
<v Speaker 1>started this podcast we actually just started talking about it.

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:14.840
<v Speaker 1>The best way to describe Calvinism to me is the

0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:19.840
<v Speaker 1>song Amazing Grace, Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound that

0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:24.639
<v Speaker 1>saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but

0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:30.000
<v Speaker 1>now I'm found. Was blind, and now I see. That

0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:34.359
<v Speaker 1>is the essence of Calvinism. It's it's I had no

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:41.240
<v Speaker 1>hope dead in my transgressions. God's grace alone saved me.

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 1>It was irresistible. I had no hope. It was irresistible.

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:54.920
<v Speaker 1>And because of that, I have the highest maximum human

0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:58.119
<v Speaker 1>level of gratefulness because of it, because I'm no better

0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:03.119
<v Speaker 1>than anyone. No, I'm not smarter than anyone. I didn't

0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:07.480
<v Speaker 1>figure out a mystery past anyone. I was saved by

0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:12.080
<v Speaker 1>pure grace. I was a wretch. I was a wretch.

0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:19.800
<v Speaker 1>So the five points of Calvinism is total depravity, unconditional election,

0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:25.840
<v Speaker 1>limited atonement, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints. And

0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:31.919
<v Speaker 1>this is getting deep. And like I said, I I

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:36.439
<v Speaker 1>don't like to talk about this in a public forum

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:43.119
<v Speaker 1>because people will hate this idea. Yeah, but I believe

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 1>it with all of my heart. I believe it because

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I've lived it. I feel it. I've lived it. And

0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:52.880
<v Speaker 1>more importantly than what I feel and what I live,

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:55.679
<v Speaker 1>more important than all that, I see it over and

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:59.880
<v Speaker 1>over in the scriptures. Every morning, I get up before

0:24:59.880 --> 0:25:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the the son comes up, and I pull out my Bible,

0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:07.159
<v Speaker 1>and I pray for understanding, and I pray for repentance,

0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and I pray for my family. And then I open

0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 1>up the book and I have a reading plan, so

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I pick up where I left off the morning before,

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:18.679
<v Speaker 1>and I read and I see the truth, and I

0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:22.280
<v Speaker 1>see sovereignty in the scriptures, and I see peace, and

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:25.639
<v Speaker 1>I see hope, I see love, I see God's wrath.

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:30.639
<v Speaker 1>And let me try to explain these these five points.

0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:35.359
<v Speaker 1>Total depravity means I had no hope. I had no hope.

0:25:35.760 --> 0:25:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I was dead. I could not have fixed it myself.

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:46.159
<v Speaker 1>Unconditional election means that God knew that before the beginning

0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:50.440
<v Speaker 1>of time. And you know, we've read through the Bible,

0:25:51.000 --> 0:25:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'm now I'm reading through it my second time,

0:25:53.080 --> 0:25:55.879
<v Speaker 1>and now I'm going through and highlighting specific words in

0:25:55.920 --> 0:26:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the Bible election, adoption, predestination, and those are words that

0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:03.280
<v Speaker 1>people don't like to share. These people are going to

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:06.920
<v Speaker 1>hate us, but it's in the scripture that's right there.

0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:09.639
<v Speaker 1>You have a lot if you don't believe in unconditional election,

0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you have a lot of explaining to do with so

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 1>many scriptures over and over and over. Then it just

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:17.480
<v Speaker 1>means that before the beginning of time, before you were

0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:21.440
<v Speaker 1>formed in the womb, God chose you and people. But

0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:25.240
<v Speaker 1>here's the key. He didn't choose everybody. Yeah, and that's

0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the problem. That's the problem people have, right. They say,

0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:30.359
<v Speaker 1>it's not well, that's not fair. How can you? And

0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:34.040
<v Speaker 1>it might Who am I to decide what's fair? Right?

0:26:34.440 --> 0:26:37.119
<v Speaker 1>Who can never know the mind of God? Yeah? So

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:40.640
<v Speaker 1>the third is limited atonement, and this is another big one.

0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Limited atonement means Jesus didn't die for every human. He

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:50.840
<v Speaker 1>only died for his chosen people. Who are we to

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:53.159
<v Speaker 1>know the chosen? We don't. That's why you just have

0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:55.320
<v Speaker 1>to live your life in a way. He picks all

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:58.600
<v Speaker 1>different kinds of people, from all different races, in all

0:26:58.640 --> 0:27:02.320
<v Speaker 1>different societies, and all different income levels, in all different

0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:08.160
<v Speaker 1>mental capacities, in all different ages. He picks them, and

0:27:08.280 --> 0:27:11.560
<v Speaker 1>he died for them. Why do we know Jesus didn't

0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:16.480
<v Speaker 1>die for everybody? Because Jesus also said not everyone is saved,

0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and he mentions, I'm not praying for the world, I'm

0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 1>praying for those who you sent me. Talking to the

0:27:23.000 --> 0:27:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Father John seventeen. The whole prayer is really about this.

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:33.160
<v Speaker 1>The fourth is called irresistible grace. That means God's grace

0:27:33.240 --> 0:27:36.960
<v Speaker 1>is so powerful you cannot stop it from hitting you.

0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 1>It's irresistible. You can't choose, you can't choose. The grace

0:27:41.320 --> 0:27:44.520
<v Speaker 1>is so powerful it's going to overcome you. If you're reborn,

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:47.680
<v Speaker 1>it's going to overcome you, and you have no way

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:50.680
<v Speaker 1>to stop it. You just go, Okay, I'm in. That's

0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:52.600
<v Speaker 1>what we were just talking about before the podcast, about

0:27:52.600 --> 0:27:55.480
<v Speaker 1>how we are completely different people and that's what we

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:59.440
<v Speaker 1>should be. The last piece of Calvinism is called perseverance

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 1>of the Saints, and that means that once you're chosen,

0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:07.640
<v Speaker 1>or once you come to know that you're chosen and saved,

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:11.359
<v Speaker 1>you're always chosen and is saved and nothing, nothing you

0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:14.560
<v Speaker 1>could do, will stop it. That's another big hot item

0:28:14.760 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 1>because hot topic because people don't like the idea of

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:19.679
<v Speaker 1>what are you gonna do? Just murder somebody and you're

0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:24.080
<v Speaker 1>still good. No. The idea is, once you're saved, you

0:28:24.119 --> 0:28:27.560
<v Speaker 1>don't want to You're not going to anybody because you

0:28:27.600 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 1>feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit. You feel that

0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:33.720
<v Speaker 1>conscience that's weighing down on you so heavily that you

0:28:33.920 --> 0:28:36.800
<v Speaker 1>just want to be better because you feel better by

0:28:36.880 --> 0:28:40.000
<v Speaker 1>being better. It's not a it's not a handcuff. You

0:28:40.040 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 1>know that you're just stuck. No, it's a freedom. It's

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:44.960
<v Speaker 1>a freedom. It's the opposite. And the Bible says, no

0:28:45.000 --> 0:28:47.640
<v Speaker 1>one can take them from my hand. The Bible says

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 1>that no one can take them, take them from me.

0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 1>So and that includes themselves. They can't ruin that. So

0:28:56.760 --> 0:28:58.720
<v Speaker 1>that this is a hot topic. A lot of people

0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 1>hate it. If you google Calvinism, the other kind of

0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Christianity is Armenianism, and the idea is both sides are saved,

0:29:10.120 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 1>both sides are a Christian Both sides ghosts could sit

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:16.240
<v Speaker 1>next to each other in the same view, in the

0:29:16.240 --> 0:29:24.959
<v Speaker 1>same church. But Calvinism is is a form that I

0:29:25.000 --> 0:29:29.080
<v Speaker 1>believe because I believe that I was totally depraved, and

0:29:29.160 --> 0:29:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I believe that by realizing that that when I get

0:29:32.680 --> 0:29:36.120
<v Speaker 1>to heaven and face God, he's going to say, why

0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:38.240
<v Speaker 1>are you here. I'm going to say, because of your grace,

0:29:39.480 --> 0:29:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and he's going to go, then why did why did

0:29:42.600 --> 0:29:44.880
<v Speaker 1>the other person in your church not end up here?

0:29:45.400 --> 0:29:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say, I didn't. I didn't do anything,

0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:54.120
<v Speaker 1>you did everything. There's nothing I could do to brag

0:29:54.200 --> 0:29:59.040
<v Speaker 1>about being saved. There is no way to boast nothing.

0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:02.080
<v Speaker 1>It's the idea. I'll say this last thing. It's the

0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:06.960
<v Speaker 1>idea of the man in the ocean. There's there's two

0:30:07.000 --> 0:30:10.880
<v Speaker 1>ways of looking at the word saved, sa veed saved.

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 1>There's two ways of looking at it. Here's the first one.

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:17.000
<v Speaker 1>You're in the ocean. You've been paddling, you've been dog

0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:20.960
<v Speaker 1>paddling forever, and you're getting so tired you can't do

0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:23.840
<v Speaker 1>it anymore. And God comes to you, sees you in

0:30:23.920 --> 0:30:29.040
<v Speaker 1>your you're tired, depraved way, and he throws you a

0:30:29.360 --> 0:30:32.920
<v Speaker 1>life preserver and you swim to it and you climb.

0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:34.560
<v Speaker 1>You put on the life preserver and climb up on

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:36.920
<v Speaker 1>the raft and you lay on the raft and you

0:30:36.960 --> 0:30:41.720
<v Speaker 1>go God, you saved me. The other way, the Calvinist way,

0:30:41.840 --> 0:30:46.080
<v Speaker 1>is you're dog paddling, you're tired, you can't do it anymore.

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:50.720
<v Speaker 1>You sink to the bottom. You die dead, dead in

0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:57.160
<v Speaker 1>your transgressions, totally depraved, unable to do anything. God comes

0:30:57.200 --> 0:30:59.960
<v Speaker 1>at the bottom of the ocean, picks you up, take

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:03.840
<v Speaker 1>you to the beach, breeze life back in you. You

0:31:03.880 --> 0:31:09.400
<v Speaker 1>open your eyes, revived, reborn, renewed, and you look at God,

0:31:09.400 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 1>and you go, you saved me. That's a very different

0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:18.360
<v Speaker 1>way of saying saved, kind of you saving yourself versus

0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:21.160
<v Speaker 1>God saving you, like you didn't reach for that life preserver.

0:31:21.800 --> 0:31:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Bring on the comments. Here we go. We're open to

0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're open. Sorry, I'm sorry, just the deep

0:31:28.920 --> 0:31:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the deepest parts of my soul. Just I just see it.

0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I see it, guys, and I'm un ashamed to say it.

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:45.760
<v Speaker 1>So we'll take a break and we'll come back. Podcast

0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Today is brought to you, guys by Athletic Greens. This

0:31:48.760 --> 0:31:52.560
<v Speaker 1>is a company that started endorsing this podcast. They sent

0:31:52.600 --> 0:31:54.880
<v Speaker 1>me a sample of their product. I went through the

0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:57.200
<v Speaker 1>whole sample. I liked it so much. I went back

0:31:57.240 --> 0:32:00.480
<v Speaker 1>to the website athletic Greens dot com. I used my

0:32:00.880 --> 0:32:04.400
<v Speaker 1>access code, my discount code, and I bought my own

0:32:04.480 --> 0:32:06.640

0:32:06.680 --> 0:32:10.200
<v Speaker 1>big testimony to this company. With so many stressors in life,

0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:14.200

<v Speaker 1>bodies the nutrients that it needs to thrive. Busy schedules,

0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:21.440

<v Speaker 1>tastes really good, So I started liking it a lot.

0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:14.960
<v Speaker 1>My name is Corea from Georgetown, Texas. I'm nineteen years old, Georgetow.

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I've been working full time for two years. The job

0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I currently have is not the career I want to

0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:22.360
<v Speaker 1>go in. How do I find the perfect career for me?

0:35:23.080 --> 0:35:28.240
<v Speaker 1>This was sent May thirty, first, twenty twenty one, and

0:35:28.280 --> 0:35:33.919
<v Speaker 1>there is no name on here. Okay, nineteen years old,

0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:36.799
<v Speaker 1>working full time for the last two years. Current job

0:35:36.840 --> 0:35:40.440
<v Speaker 1>is not the career. Yeah, that's yeah, that's understandable. You're nineteen.

0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:45.680
<v Speaker 1>It's understandable to see that the job you want is

0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:48.000
<v Speaker 1>not the job you have when you're nineteen. I didn't

0:35:48.080 --> 0:35:51.800
<v Speaker 1>what were you doing your nineteen just graduated college? I

0:35:51.840 --> 0:35:56.319
<v Speaker 1>think I was waiting tables. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh I'm sorry,

0:35:56.320 --> 0:36:02.960
<v Speaker 1>just graduated high school? So yeah, right right, yeah, so yeah,

0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I was far. I was either you know, I'm working

0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:09.120
<v Speaker 1>for a paint contractor. I think that's what I was doing.

0:36:09.160 --> 0:36:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I was nineteen, ye I was waiting tables. Most painting

0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:16.560
<v Speaker 1>houses and plan get really bad gigs. And we knew

0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:18.839
<v Speaker 1>that was what wasn't our life goal of what we

0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:20.640
<v Speaker 1>want to do. It's just something to make money on

0:36:20.680 --> 0:36:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the weekends to go out with your friends, you know. Yeah,

0:36:23.520 --> 0:36:27.520
<v Speaker 1>So I would say, first, there's no worry you're nineteen.

0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:30.440
<v Speaker 1>If you're forty nine, this would be a different question.

0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:34.399
<v Speaker 1>How do I find the perfect career for me? It's

0:36:34.400 --> 0:36:36.520
<v Speaker 1>hard because we don't know what his passion is, what

0:36:36.600 --> 0:36:38.399
<v Speaker 1>he likes to do. So we just got to take

0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:41.960
<v Speaker 1>a broad stroke at it, and it would say the

0:36:42.080 --> 0:36:47.960
<v Speaker 1>first first question is do you need an education for

0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:51.440
<v Speaker 1>what you need to go into? So say, you know,

0:36:51.440 --> 0:36:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I really want to go into diesel mechanics. Okay, well,

0:36:57.160 --> 0:36:59.120
<v Speaker 1>there's a tech school for you that you need to

0:36:59.120 --> 0:37:02.320
<v Speaker 1>go to You need go to the trade school according

0:37:02.360 --> 0:37:04.480
<v Speaker 1>to what you want to do. Nineteen is the perfect

0:37:04.520 --> 0:37:06.399
<v Speaker 1>age to go to a trade school. If you say

0:37:06.440 --> 0:37:08.359
<v Speaker 1>I want to be a lawyer, Okay, now you need

0:37:08.400 --> 0:37:12.400
<v Speaker 1>to go to a major university or a community college

0:37:12.440 --> 0:37:14.880
<v Speaker 1>that you can then get into a major university. And

0:37:14.880 --> 0:37:17.040
<v Speaker 1>then you need to start thinking about saving up money

0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:19.239
<v Speaker 1>so then you can go to law school. And you

0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:22.680
<v Speaker 1>need to be thinking about that path. You want to

0:37:22.680 --> 0:37:25.319
<v Speaker 1>be a doctor, same thing. Yeah, I was going to say,

0:37:25.320 --> 0:37:28.160
<v Speaker 1>if you need to, if you know exactly kind of

0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:30.279
<v Speaker 1>where you want your career path to go, find a

0:37:30.320 --> 0:37:33.960
<v Speaker 1>place in that field that does internships and volunteer or

0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:35.799
<v Speaker 1>intern and still keep your same job if you can,

0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and just work a few hours interning at that location.

0:37:38.360 --> 0:37:40.279
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing wrong to with taking a stab at a

0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:42.520
<v Speaker 1>couple of different careers that you think might be interesting

0:37:43.040 --> 0:37:45.719
<v Speaker 1>and then you find out, you know, I hate this,

0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't like it. If you want to go to

0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:50.759
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement or EMT or anything like that, there's a

0:37:50.880 --> 0:37:52.960
<v Speaker 1>clear path for you to get a law enforcement or

0:37:54.080 --> 0:38:00.400
<v Speaker 1>EMT school. There's a clear path to do that fire school.

0:38:00.760 --> 0:38:04.920
<v Speaker 1>If you want to be an entrepreneur. Then you the

0:38:04.960 --> 0:38:07.680
<v Speaker 1>perfect path is what Amber said. You go to you know,

0:38:07.840 --> 0:38:09.960
<v Speaker 1>as you said, Georgetown, Texas. So they're like, there's Yetti.

0:38:10.360 --> 0:38:13.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, you go to YETI Coolers in Austin and

0:38:13.320 --> 0:38:14.560
<v Speaker 1>you go in there and you go have I want

0:38:14.560 --> 0:38:16.839
<v Speaker 1>to apply for an internship to work for you guys.

0:38:16.880 --> 0:38:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I think this is a cool outdoor company, and I

0:38:19.840 --> 0:38:22.439
<v Speaker 1>would love to see just how you work through things,

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:25.160
<v Speaker 1>and you work your way up from there. First form

0:38:25.320 --> 0:38:28.399
<v Speaker 1>in Saint Louis, Missouri, they sell supplements. Really cool group

0:38:28.440 --> 0:38:32.480
<v Speaker 1>of guys and girls, and they they take on interns

0:38:32.480 --> 0:38:35.239
<v Speaker 1>that then turn into shippers in their warehouse that then

0:38:35.320 --> 0:38:38.839
<v Speaker 1>turns into some kind of management role and just keep

0:38:38.880 --> 0:38:41.920
<v Speaker 1>working up the ladder. A lot of companies do that, Yeah,

0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:43.640
<v Speaker 1>And it's okay if you don't, if you don't quite

0:38:43.680 --> 0:38:44.800
<v Speaker 1>know what you want to do. I don't think I

0:38:44.880 --> 0:38:46.640
<v Speaker 1>knew exactly what I wanted to do at nineteen. I

0:38:46.760 --> 0:38:48.680
<v Speaker 1>changed when I did go to college. I changed my

0:38:48.800 --> 0:38:52.439
<v Speaker 1>major about four times. And you already are getting something

0:38:52.480 --> 0:38:54.400
<v Speaker 1>good for your resume right now. You have two years

0:38:54.760 --> 0:38:57.040
<v Speaker 1>working in the same company that shows loyalty. So just

0:38:57.160 --> 0:38:59.680
<v Speaker 1>pray about it. Pray if you don't quite know. Pray

0:38:59.719 --> 0:39:01.560
<v Speaker 1>for guys to open up some doors for you, or

0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:04.120
<v Speaker 1>search your heart for what you might desire to be doing,

0:39:04.640 --> 0:39:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and just keep doing what you're doing until something, and

0:39:07.440 --> 0:39:10.440
<v Speaker 1>still something kind of sparks your interest or sparks what

0:39:10.480 --> 0:39:14.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to do. I have a suggestion to this guy, Corey.

0:39:15.719 --> 0:39:17.680
<v Speaker 1>It's his name right there, Corey. Why did I say it?

0:39:17.760 --> 0:39:19.440
<v Speaker 1>No name? It's in the first sentence. I don't know

0:39:19.920 --> 0:39:23.000
<v Speaker 1>my name is Corey Corey. I got a suggestion for you,

0:39:23.280 --> 0:39:26.200
<v Speaker 1>not knowing you, not knowing anything about you. I only know.

0:39:26.640 --> 0:39:28.560
<v Speaker 1>The only thing I know from you is four sentences

0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:32.640
<v Speaker 1>that you wrote. You're nineteen, you live in Georgetown, you've

0:39:32.680 --> 0:39:34.880
<v Speaker 1>been working for two years, and it's not where you

0:39:34.920 --> 0:39:40.720
<v Speaker 1>want to be. I have a suggestion. Marine Corps. Huh yeah.

0:39:41.400 --> 0:39:48.280
<v Speaker 1>The Marine Corps could offer the motivation that you need

0:39:48.800 --> 0:39:53.080
<v Speaker 1>to build your resume, to build your network, to build

0:39:53.080 --> 0:39:57.319
<v Speaker 1>your work ethic, to build your discipline that then can

0:39:57.360 --> 0:40:04.120
<v Speaker 1>catapult you into a host of other careers. That's probably

0:40:04.200 --> 0:40:06.880
<v Speaker 1>if I didn't have music, that's what I would have done.

0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:09.439
<v Speaker 1>I was in the court A and M. Everybody else

0:40:09.440 --> 0:40:13.000
<v Speaker 1>around me was going into the Marine Corps. So that's

0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:15.759
<v Speaker 1>and then I went to Iraq and performed. And when

0:40:15.760 --> 0:40:17.319
<v Speaker 1>I was with the Marines, I just felt at home.

0:40:17.560 --> 0:40:19.879
<v Speaker 1>So no offense to anybody else in Navy or air

0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:25.319
<v Speaker 1>Force or army, but I would say, you go to

0:40:25.360 --> 0:40:30.440
<v Speaker 1>your Marine Corps recruiter here in Georgetown, Texas and just

0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:32.720
<v Speaker 1>ask them do you don't have to commit to anything.

0:40:32.800 --> 0:40:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Just walk in there one day and just go. You know,

0:40:35.080 --> 0:40:36.840
<v Speaker 1>there'll be a guy, a sergeant sitting in there at

0:40:36.880 --> 0:40:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the recruiting office and just say, hey, my name is Cory,

0:40:40.680 --> 0:40:43.960
<v Speaker 1>just wondering what that maybe the Marines could offer for me. Yeah,

0:40:44.280 --> 0:40:46.960
<v Speaker 1>it's good, and and he'll go, all right, let's sit down.

0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:48.880
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna be a cool guy. He's in he's in

0:40:48.960 --> 0:40:52.040
<v Speaker 1>recruiting for a reason. He's a good talker probably, and

0:40:52.080 --> 0:40:55.080
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna go, man, do you like you like aviation?

0:40:55.280 --> 0:40:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Do you like mechanics? Computers? Do you like computers? Do

0:40:58.400 --> 0:41:01.719
<v Speaker 1>you do you like some action? You know what? Do

0:41:01.760 --> 0:41:05.959
<v Speaker 1>you like jumping out of airplanes? And and the cool

0:41:05.960 --> 0:41:07.799
<v Speaker 1>thing about the Marine Corps. I don't even know why

0:41:07.840 --> 0:41:10.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm pitching this so hard. I have no idea why,

0:41:10.320 --> 0:41:13.399
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea why I'm feeling this right now.

0:41:13.440 --> 0:41:15.799
<v Speaker 1>But the cool thing about it, man, is it's like

0:41:16.000 --> 0:41:20.120
<v Speaker 1>zero financial investment. It doesn't matter how much you have

0:41:20.160 --> 0:41:22.480
<v Speaker 1>in the bank account. It doesn't matter what grades you

0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:25.440
<v Speaker 1>got in high school, it doesn't matter anything that you

0:41:25.719 --> 0:41:28.040
<v Speaker 1>have going on right now. It doesn't matter. You go

0:41:28.120 --> 0:41:30.560
<v Speaker 1>that Marine Corps recruiter and he could send you off

0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:34.239
<v Speaker 1>to San Diego next week, and you're on an airplane

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:38.200
<v Speaker 1>and you're going to San Diego or wherever, and that's

0:41:38.840 --> 0:41:41.120
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty exciting if you don't have a you know,

0:41:41.239 --> 0:41:43.759
<v Speaker 1>a wife and kids right here, and you're looking for

0:41:43.880 --> 0:41:47.319
<v Speaker 1>direction and you're looking looking for the perfect career. I

0:41:47.360 --> 0:41:49.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know why on this podcast I'm telling you this.

0:41:49.760 --> 0:41:55.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why. But Georgetown, Texas Recruiting Office, Oh rah,

0:41:56.400 --> 0:42:02.880
<v Speaker 1>there you go. I need some advice, and we have

0:42:02.960 --> 0:42:05.239
<v Speaker 1>the Lord. If two more, we're probably gonna have time

0:42:05.239 --> 0:42:06.759
<v Speaker 1>for another one. After that, Son, I'll go back to

0:42:06.800 --> 0:42:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the drawing board. Okay, I need some advice. Hey, mister Smith.

0:42:11.440 --> 0:42:15.400
<v Speaker 1>My name is Amber. I'm from Southern Indiana. I absolutely

0:42:15.440 --> 0:42:19.480
<v Speaker 1>love your music. And second, I need some advice. They

0:42:19.560 --> 0:42:23.239
<v Speaker 1>say God won't put you through anything you can't handle. Well,

0:42:23.280 --> 0:42:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure. I could handle what is going on

0:42:25.160 --> 0:42:27.800
<v Speaker 1>in my life right now. My grandmother was rushed to

0:42:27.880 --> 0:42:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the hospital for emergency surgery in August of twenty nineteen. Well,

0:42:32.239 --> 0:42:35.120
<v Speaker 1>while she was in there, my grandpa got sick and

0:42:35.160 --> 0:42:38.759
<v Speaker 1>about a week later my birthday. On my birthday, my

0:42:38.800 --> 0:42:42.719
<v Speaker 1>grandpa was diagnosed with cancer. Sadly, he passed that January.

0:42:43.040 --> 0:42:45.920
<v Speaker 1>All the while my grandma was in the hospital slash

0:42:45.960 --> 0:42:49.239
<v Speaker 1>rehab and having more surgeries than In June, my dad

0:42:49.320 --> 0:42:53.279
<v Speaker 1>was diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully it was they were able

0:42:53.320 --> 0:42:56.520
<v Speaker 1>to remove it all with surgery. Then this past December,

0:42:56.719 --> 0:43:00.239
<v Speaker 1>my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. Do you have any

0:43:00.239 --> 0:43:02.799
<v Speaker 1>advice on how I can handle all of this? God

0:43:02.840 --> 0:43:06.480
<v Speaker 1>bless you and your family? And ye he that comes

0:43:06.480 --> 0:43:11.200
<v Speaker 1>from Amber in February. Hi, Amber, first, just want to say,

0:43:11.719 --> 0:43:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot for anyone to handle. And I know

0:43:14.640 --> 0:43:16.600
<v Speaker 1>people all the time say God doesn't give you more

0:43:16.600 --> 0:43:18.480
<v Speaker 1>than you can handle. And I've said this for so

0:43:18.640 --> 0:43:20.880
<v Speaker 1>long that I think that he does. I think He

0:43:21.000 --> 0:43:23.120
<v Speaker 1>gives us more than we can handle because we're not

0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:25.680
<v Speaker 1>meant to carry it alone. We are meant to lay

0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:28.080
<v Speaker 1>everything at his feet, and we are never alone because

0:43:28.120 --> 0:43:30.040
<v Speaker 1>He is walking with us. So I just want to

0:43:30.080 --> 0:43:32.400
<v Speaker 1>say that. I think the Bible says you won't be

0:43:32.520 --> 0:43:36.319
<v Speaker 1>tempted right beyond what you can handle. Butt. It says

0:43:36.480 --> 0:43:39.080
<v Speaker 1>anything about you will have you won't have as much

0:43:39.120 --> 0:43:41.000
<v Speaker 1>trouble as you can handle. It doesn't say that. Now,

0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:44.719
<v Speaker 1>that's still like an old wives tell See they say

0:43:44.800 --> 0:43:46.840
<v Speaker 1>God won't put you through anything you can handle. It

0:43:46.840 --> 0:43:49.280
<v Speaker 1>doesn't say that that's the world. That's what the world's

0:43:49.320 --> 0:43:53.200
<v Speaker 1>telling you. The Bible says it won't tempt you beyond

0:43:53.200 --> 0:43:57.759
<v Speaker 1>what you can handle. Yeah, that's different. And I want

0:43:57.800 --> 0:44:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you to say, what because one situation her grandfather went home.

0:44:03.120 --> 0:44:05.560
<v Speaker 1>The other situation, her dad was healed. And I love

0:44:05.640 --> 0:44:09.759
<v Speaker 1>what we saw the other day that it gave me

0:44:09.840 --> 0:44:11.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of peace and a lot of a comfort

0:44:12.480 --> 0:44:16.480
<v Speaker 1>from losing our son. Was that some sicknesses, some accidents,

0:44:16.680 --> 0:44:21.600
<v Speaker 1>some cancers, some things are not meant for healing. They're

0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:25.319
<v Speaker 1>meant for homecoming. And I love that word homecoming. Yeah.

0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:30.600
<v Speaker 1>And Second Kings thirteen fourteen, it says, now Elisha had

0:44:30.640 --> 0:44:35.720
<v Speaker 1>fallen sick with an illness of which he was to die.

0:44:36.000 --> 0:44:38.839
<v Speaker 1>So I think about that for a second. Now, Elisha

0:44:39.239 --> 0:44:42.160
<v Speaker 1>had fallen sick with the illness of which he was

0:44:42.360 --> 0:44:45.000
<v Speaker 1>to die. Second king is thirteen fourteen. Now here's the deal.

0:44:45.360 --> 0:44:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Elishah was a prophet. He divided rivers, he undid poison,

0:44:49.719 --> 0:44:52.640
<v Speaker 1>he'd made axe handle's float, he caused oil to flow.

0:44:52.840 --> 0:44:56.560
<v Speaker 1>He healed leprosy, he raised the dead. But now God

0:44:56.640 --> 0:45:04.360
<v Speaker 1>says this sickness is for homecoming, not healing. I just

0:45:02.760 --> 0:45:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I love that tweet us all because yes, God can

0:45:08.640 --> 0:45:11.359
<v Speaker 1>perform miracles, and God will heal certain people, but other

0:45:11.440 --> 0:45:15.279
<v Speaker 1>times it's meant for homecoming. He's calling you home, and

0:45:15.320 --> 0:45:17.839
<v Speaker 1>I pray that you're a grandmother and grandfather had a long,

0:45:17.960 --> 0:45:20.719
<v Speaker 1>beautiful life, you know, and I pray that you got

0:45:20.719 --> 0:45:22.279
<v Speaker 1>to spend so much time with them, and I'm so

0:45:22.360 --> 0:45:24.920
<v Speaker 1>glad that you have your dad. I know it doesn't

0:45:24.920 --> 0:45:28.320
<v Speaker 1>take away the pain. It hurts, and it doesn't seem fair.

0:45:29.000 --> 0:45:31.600
<v Speaker 1>But we always talk about renewing our mind and changing

0:45:31.600 --> 0:45:33.279
<v Speaker 1>the channel in our mind, and I hope that you

0:45:33.320 --> 0:45:36.759
<v Speaker 1>can try to flip it to that perspective and know

0:45:36.840 --> 0:45:38.799
<v Speaker 1>that if you are a follower of Christ, you will

0:45:38.840 --> 0:45:43.040
<v Speaker 1>see them again and they're home. And I love that

0:45:43.080 --> 0:45:44.640
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't want to come back to this earth even

0:45:44.680 --> 0:45:48.280
<v Speaker 1>if they could. I was in a meet and greet recently,

0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:50.360
<v Speaker 1>and there was a guy telling me something similar. He

0:45:50.400 --> 0:45:52.000
<v Speaker 1>had a lot going on in his life and he

0:45:52.120 --> 0:45:54.080
<v Speaker 1>was just pouring it on me in the meet and

0:45:54.080 --> 0:45:55.759
<v Speaker 1>greet and he just said, I just have so much

0:45:55.840 --> 0:45:57.680
<v Speaker 1>and I just don't know how I could handle it.

0:45:58.040 --> 0:46:00.640
<v Speaker 1>And I said, well, you don't have to handle it

0:46:00.640 --> 0:46:03.319
<v Speaker 1>for five years. You don't have to handle it for

0:46:03.360 --> 0:46:06.560
<v Speaker 1>ten years. You don't have to handle it for one month.

0:46:07.280 --> 0:46:10.520
<v Speaker 1>You just have to handle it today. Yeah, that's all

0:46:10.560 --> 0:46:13.839
<v Speaker 1>you have to do, just today. If today's too much

0:46:13.880 --> 0:46:19.040
<v Speaker 1>for you, just this hour. Yeah, just handle it this hour, man,

0:46:19.080 --> 0:46:22.080
<v Speaker 1>that's too much. Okay, this minute, Just handle it for

0:46:22.120 --> 0:46:24.799
<v Speaker 1>sixty seconds. You can do anything for sixty seconds. That's

0:46:24.840 --> 0:46:28.160
<v Speaker 1>too much. Breath by breath. And I've been there in

0:46:28.200 --> 0:46:30.399
<v Speaker 1>my life. I've been in a place in my life

0:46:30.880 --> 0:46:34.719
<v Speaker 1>where I couldn't handle an hour. So I had to

0:46:34.719 --> 0:46:37.759
<v Speaker 1>just deal with the next breath and guess what it came,

0:46:38.320 --> 0:46:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and the next one after that came, and that turned

0:46:41.040 --> 0:46:42.799
<v Speaker 1>into a minute, and then that turned into an hour,

0:46:43.440 --> 0:46:46.600
<v Speaker 1>and then it turned into months and then turn into years.

0:46:47.080 --> 0:46:49.680
<v Speaker 1>That's all we could do, guys. We're not built to

0:46:49.800 --> 0:46:53.400
<v Speaker 1>handle all this for a long period of time. Now,

0:46:53.719 --> 0:46:57.080
<v Speaker 1>we're not built. That's why we're being renewed day by day.

0:46:57.160 --> 0:47:00.439
<v Speaker 1>That's why the mercies are new every morning. Are only

0:47:00.480 --> 0:47:06.680
<v Speaker 1>built to handle it one days. It's like what I

0:47:06.680 --> 0:47:09.720
<v Speaker 1>said in the Men's sermon, It's like a Tesla car.

0:47:10.520 --> 0:47:12.879
<v Speaker 1>The battery has to be recharged every day. I don't

0:47:12.960 --> 0:47:16.040
<v Speaker 1>personally know. I don't drive a Tesla, but you have

0:47:16.120 --> 0:47:20.240
<v Speaker 1>to recharge the battery every day. On your cell phone.

0:47:20.640 --> 0:47:22.760
<v Speaker 1>The cell phone that's not made to last for months,

0:47:23.000 --> 0:47:25.520
<v Speaker 1>you got to go back and charge it every day.

0:47:25.880 --> 0:47:28.239
<v Speaker 1>So that's like us. We got to go back, and

0:47:28.280 --> 0:47:30.320
<v Speaker 1>we got to go back to the source of our power,

0:47:30.800 --> 0:47:33.759
<v Speaker 1>which is Christians. We believe it's God and the Word

0:47:33.800 --> 0:47:35.480
<v Speaker 1>of God. And we go go back. We open our

0:47:35.480 --> 0:47:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Bibles and we open them and we look at it

0:47:39.360 --> 0:47:42.080
<v Speaker 1>and we go, God, I can't can't do this. I

0:47:42.160 --> 0:47:44.719
<v Speaker 1>got too much going on. I got there's sickness, and

0:47:44.760 --> 0:47:46.839
<v Speaker 1>there's death, and there's cancer going on in my life.

0:47:46.880 --> 0:47:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Or can't do it. And God goes, yeah, I know

0:47:49.480 --> 0:47:52.000
<v Speaker 1>you can't, because I made you. I know you can't.

0:47:53.040 --> 0:47:55.319
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going to sustain you just enough to where

0:47:55.320 --> 0:47:57.239
<v Speaker 1>you have to keep coming back to me and I'll

0:47:57.320 --> 0:48:00.480
<v Speaker 1>keep powering you. I'll keep recharging that battery, giving you

0:48:00.680 --> 0:48:03.600
<v Speaker 1>that motivation. I'll give you just enough why so that

0:48:03.680 --> 0:48:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you keep coming back to the refilling station. Yeah. And

0:48:07.160 --> 0:48:09.360
<v Speaker 1>his power is made perfect in our weakness. We're not

0:48:09.400 --> 0:48:12.000
<v Speaker 1>meant to try to be strong. And it's not some

0:48:12.560 --> 0:48:14.560
<v Speaker 1>power hungry god that goes on knew due to come

0:48:14.560 --> 0:48:17.600
<v Speaker 1>to me. He knows because he made us. That is,

0:48:17.719 --> 0:48:20.640
<v Speaker 1>if we keep coming back to him daily, then he's

0:48:20.680 --> 0:48:22.920
<v Speaker 1>going to give us enough energy and then then that

0:48:22.960 --> 0:48:26.759
<v Speaker 1>gives us peace and hope and love. And that's what

0:48:26.800 --> 0:48:30.040
<v Speaker 1>we need, that's what we crave. And so and Paul sayes,

0:48:30.480 --> 0:48:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the light momentary afflictions, Yeah, are preparing us. These light

0:48:34.200 --> 0:48:37.600
<v Speaker 1>momentary afflictions are preparing us for an eternal weight of glory.

0:48:38.360 --> 0:48:42.200
<v Speaker 1>They're preparing, they're doing something. This affliction you're going through,

0:48:42.239 --> 0:48:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Amber is doing something for you and for your soul

0:48:48.200 --> 0:48:50.239
<v Speaker 1>and for your happiness and for your peace and for

0:48:50.280 --> 0:48:53.360
<v Speaker 1>your love to do. It's working for you, that's what

0:48:53.400 --> 0:48:55.560
<v Speaker 1>it's doing. So when you asked me in your last

0:48:55.560 --> 0:48:58.640
<v Speaker 1>sentence any advice on how do I handle all this?

0:48:58.880 --> 0:49:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I say you can't. You can't, not alone, not alone. Yeah,

0:49:04.239 --> 0:49:09.319
<v Speaker 1>And there's so much peace in that. Yeah. And just

0:49:09.320 --> 0:49:11.120
<v Speaker 1>one more thing I think you said in the second

0:49:11.200 --> 0:49:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to last sentence. This past December, my other grandmother was

0:49:14.120 --> 0:49:20.480
<v Speaker 1>diagnosed with cancer. So enjoy every moment you have with her,

0:49:21.160 --> 0:49:23.279
<v Speaker 1>and be in this present moment, like Granger said, take

0:49:23.320 --> 0:49:25.480
<v Speaker 1>it hour by hour, minute by minute, spend as much

0:49:25.480 --> 0:49:28.520
<v Speaker 1>time with her as you can, and pray for healing.

0:49:28.680 --> 0:49:30.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, we can pray for healing, but we also

0:49:30.280 --> 0:49:32.600
<v Speaker 1>have to pray for God's will and for strength to

0:49:32.719 --> 0:49:36.320
<v Speaker 1>make it through whatever we're facing. But enjoy that time together,

0:49:36.920 --> 0:49:39.399
<v Speaker 1>spend those extra moments with her. Yeah. And then none

0:49:39.440 --> 0:49:42.440
<v Speaker 1>of this means that you don't research doctors and research

0:49:42.480 --> 0:49:46.239
<v Speaker 1>hospitals and try to help them with their diet. None

0:49:46.239 --> 0:49:48.520
<v Speaker 1>of that. Of course, you're going to try your best

0:49:48.560 --> 0:49:50.680
<v Speaker 1>to do. That's part of That's part of God's will

0:49:50.719 --> 0:49:54.239
<v Speaker 1>for you as well. But through it, don't let it

0:49:54.239 --> 0:49:57.640
<v Speaker 1>start affecting you so much that you can't function, you

0:49:58.600 --> 0:50:02.560
<v Speaker 1>get paralysis. Don't don't let that happen because you can't

0:50:02.719 --> 0:50:06.600
<v Speaker 1>handle it all by yourself. And just remember that advice

0:50:06.640 --> 0:50:08.920
<v Speaker 1>that people gave you, that say God won't put you

0:50:08.960 --> 0:50:12.000
<v Speaker 1>through anything you can't handle, is not true. It's not

0:50:12.120 --> 0:50:18.400
<v Speaker 1>real advice. It's about temptations that's misunderstood. So when it

0:50:18.440 --> 0:50:21.080
<v Speaker 1>gets heavy, and when when it seems like it's stacking on,

0:50:21.680 --> 0:50:24.080
<v Speaker 1>that just means your your battery's going out. It's time

0:50:24.120 --> 0:50:26.759
<v Speaker 1>to recharge. It's time to take a Tesla back to

0:50:26.840 --> 0:50:29.319
<v Speaker 1>the to the garage. I wish there was a good

0:50:29.320 --> 0:50:32.759
<v Speaker 1>pickup truck analogy for that, because Tesla's we'll just use gasoline,

0:50:32.840 --> 0:50:35.920
<v Speaker 1>but diesel. It's like when you're driving down in the

0:50:35.960 --> 0:50:38.440
<v Speaker 1>county road and you're in the middle of nowhere and

0:50:38.520 --> 0:50:42.600
<v Speaker 1>your your your little needles on empty and you can't

0:50:42.600 --> 0:50:45.640
<v Speaker 1>see it a station. You how how much anxiety do

0:50:45.680 --> 0:50:49.080
<v Speaker 1>you have in that moment? You're so worried, and you

0:50:49.160 --> 0:50:51.640
<v Speaker 1>got the windows down and you're turning off the air

0:50:51.640 --> 0:50:54.560
<v Speaker 1>conditioner and you're just you don't know what to do.

0:50:55.239 --> 0:50:57.080
<v Speaker 1>But then you go over the hill and you see

0:50:57.080 --> 0:51:01.359
<v Speaker 1>that Texico station, that excellent station, and you pull in

0:51:01.400 --> 0:51:04.240
<v Speaker 1>there and you start refilling that diesel in your truck,

0:51:05.040 --> 0:51:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and what do you get. You get, Oh, there goes

0:51:07.960 --> 0:51:10.799
<v Speaker 1>all the anxiety. It's gone. It's relief and peace, and

0:51:10.840 --> 0:51:13.399
<v Speaker 1>you just go, I made it. This is where I needed,

0:51:13.440 --> 0:51:16.080
<v Speaker 1>This is what the truck needed it needed to refuel.

0:51:16.800 --> 0:51:19.920
<v Speaker 1>You can't run on your fumes, so don't try to amber.

0:51:19.960 --> 0:51:23.080
<v Speaker 1>You're not. This is look through human history. You can't

0:51:23.080 --> 0:51:25.480
<v Speaker 1>do it. You can't this this time. This type of

0:51:25.480 --> 0:51:29.760
<v Speaker 1>stuff leads to depression and anxiety and anger and anger

0:51:29.960 --> 0:51:33.440
<v Speaker 1>and guilt, and you can't function like that. You can't.

0:51:34.280 --> 0:51:37.640
<v Speaker 1>So thanks for the email. I hope this helped a

0:51:37.640 --> 0:51:39.799
<v Speaker 1>little bit. And I'm not trying to make it sound

0:51:39.840 --> 0:51:42.120
<v Speaker 1>like what you're going through isn't hard, because it sounds

0:51:42.360 --> 0:51:45.719
<v Speaker 1>sounds so hard, and it sounds like you're handling it

0:51:45.719 --> 0:51:50.480
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of gray stuff. Thanks for emailing. One

0:51:50.520 --> 0:51:52.920
<v Speaker 1>more here and the little group that I brought, and

0:51:52.920 --> 0:51:55.480
<v Speaker 1>then we can go get more if we need. This

0:51:55.520 --> 0:51:59.080
<v Speaker 1>one is called the Lord says Hey Granger. My name

0:51:59.160 --> 0:52:01.359
<v Speaker 1>is Nate from coll Colorado. Have been following her music

0:52:01.360 --> 0:52:03.719
<v Speaker 1>since two thousand and eight. Haven't stopped since. I've been

0:52:03.800 --> 0:52:08.440
<v Speaker 1>to every single show in Colorado and Wyoming since twenty thirteen.

0:52:09.360 --> 0:52:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I've been dating this girl for four years. Here it comes,

0:52:13.680 --> 0:52:16.560
<v Speaker 1>and both of our first priorities were to build our

0:52:16.600 --> 0:52:19.880
<v Speaker 1>relationship on the foundation of God. The problem is she

0:52:20.000 --> 0:52:23.000
<v Speaker 1>loves her big church in the city and I love

0:52:23.080 --> 0:52:26.320
<v Speaker 1>my small church in the country. He didn't say country.

0:52:26.320 --> 0:52:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted those say Earl dibbles. I love my

0:52:28.760 --> 0:52:32.959
<v Speaker 1>small church. I've been attending for fifteen years. She came

0:52:33.000 --> 0:52:36.040
<v Speaker 1>to me recently saying that if I can't bring myself

0:52:36.080 --> 0:52:38.600
<v Speaker 1>to switch to her church, it just won't work out

0:52:38.640 --> 0:52:40.680
<v Speaker 1>in the long run. I don't know how to go

0:52:40.760 --> 0:52:43.680
<v Speaker 1>about this because I love my church and the people

0:52:43.680 --> 0:52:45.879
<v Speaker 1>that go there, and her only reason to not come

0:52:45.920 --> 0:52:48.719
<v Speaker 1>to mind is because she feels being like she's being

0:52:48.800 --> 0:52:52.759
<v Speaker 1>judged by the small town atmosphere. I hope you could help.

0:52:52.800 --> 0:52:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I love your music and your beautiful family. I'll be

0:52:55.080 --> 0:52:58.319
<v Speaker 1>a fan till I die as a fan. Before you

0:52:58.400 --> 0:53:03.759
<v Speaker 1>met me, Nate is say how old? No, he is

0:53:03.840 --> 0:53:09.080
<v Speaker 1>a lifer man, lifer, EVI nation or brother you were,

0:53:09.520 --> 0:53:13.080
<v Speaker 1>You're my dude. This email came in January. Okay, so

0:53:13.760 --> 0:53:16.160
<v Speaker 1>it's been a few months since he said it. It's

0:53:16.200 --> 0:53:20.879
<v Speaker 1>been in the queue. What's your first reaction. My first

0:53:20.880 --> 0:53:22.359
<v Speaker 1>reaction when you were reading that was I was trying

0:53:22.400 --> 0:53:24.960
<v Speaker 1>to put both of us in that situation, and my

0:53:25.840 --> 0:53:29.160
<v Speaker 1>gut reaction would be for us to go to both

0:53:29.960 --> 0:53:32.560
<v Speaker 1>with each other, both of us go to the small one.

0:53:32.600 --> 0:53:33.799
<v Speaker 1>Both of us go to the big one. I know

0:53:33.800 --> 0:53:35.839
<v Speaker 1>what time constraints and schedules and all that that might

0:53:35.880 --> 0:53:39.279
<v Speaker 1>not work. But when you're trying to build a relationship,

0:53:39.600 --> 0:53:44.279
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot of give and take and compromise and communication.

0:53:44.800 --> 0:53:47.319
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like if you felt so strongly, but

0:53:47.440 --> 0:53:49.640
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like you both do. But if you came

0:53:49.680 --> 0:53:51.359
<v Speaker 1>to me and said, I really love my small church,

0:53:51.360 --> 0:53:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I really want to keep going, I would go with you,

0:53:53.800 --> 0:53:56.600
<v Speaker 1>and vice versa. You know, what was your first impression.

0:53:57.360 --> 0:54:01.200
<v Speaker 1>There's a couple of things here. One there's great, there's

0:54:01.320 --> 0:54:04.920
<v Speaker 1>great news. They're not married. Yep, if you're married, this

0:54:05.040 --> 0:54:07.600
<v Speaker 1>is a different conversation. This is a much harder email

0:54:07.719 --> 0:54:13.560
<v Speaker 1>to talk about. Here's the discouraging part. Four years, been

0:54:13.600 --> 0:54:17.200
<v Speaker 1>dating for four years? Yeah, you've been in four Have

0:54:17.239 --> 0:54:19.200
<v Speaker 1>you ever been in a four year relationship? Besides now?

0:54:20.239 --> 0:54:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I haven't. Yeah, I've been maybe like three's kind of max,

0:54:24.760 --> 0:54:32.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, so, Nate, I would say, dude, first, why

0:54:33.040 --> 0:54:35.439
<v Speaker 1>why are you still dating this girl after four years

0:54:35.440 --> 0:54:37.759
<v Speaker 1>and you haven't pulled the trigger? Why? Why haven't you?

0:54:38.719 --> 0:54:43.759
<v Speaker 1>Why haven't you popped the question? Is it because you're

0:54:43.800 --> 0:54:46.720
<v Speaker 1>too young? Is it because you lived in different cities.

0:54:46.880 --> 0:54:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Is it because you're unsure, you're afraid to commit? And

0:54:52.640 --> 0:54:55.600
<v Speaker 1>any guys girls, let me say as girls, if you're

0:54:55.600 --> 0:55:00.399
<v Speaker 1>guys too afraid to commit, that just means he's he's

0:55:00.440 --> 0:55:03.520
<v Speaker 1>not all in. He's not all in, because there is

0:55:03.560 --> 0:55:06.480
<v Speaker 1>no such thing as afraid to commit. If you're all in,

0:55:06.719 --> 0:55:08.759
<v Speaker 1>you're just like, I don't care, I'll commit. I'm all

0:55:08.800 --> 0:55:10.279
<v Speaker 1>in in this girl. I want to spend the rest

0:55:10.280 --> 0:55:12.239
<v Speaker 1>of my life with the girl. I don't care. I'm in.

0:55:12.840 --> 0:55:15.839
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter what kind of commitment worries you've had

0:55:15.880 --> 0:55:19.040
<v Speaker 1>in the past, So I kind of worry about that, Like,

0:55:19.080 --> 0:55:21.759
<v Speaker 1>why are you else dating? It's been four years and

0:55:21.800 --> 0:55:26.080
<v Speaker 1>there's people listening right now that are probably disagreeing. Yeah.

0:55:26.160 --> 0:55:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Another thing that was a little discouraging is she said

0:55:28.640 --> 0:55:30.520
<v Speaker 1>if I can't bring myself to switch to her church,

0:55:30.560 --> 0:55:34.040
<v Speaker 1>then it won't work out. Bye goodbye. Like that means

0:55:34.040 --> 0:55:38.719
<v Speaker 1>she's just cutting it down, Nate, goodbye. Yeah, if that's

0:55:38.760 --> 0:55:40.680
<v Speaker 1>the deal breaker, like you won't switch the church, So

0:55:40.680 --> 0:55:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm done with our I'm throwing our whole four years away,

0:55:43.000 --> 0:55:46.600
<v Speaker 1>You're out. That's kind of discouraging. I hope she's not

0:55:46.640 --> 0:55:49.200
<v Speaker 1>a podcast listener or maybe she could maybe maybe only

0:55:49.320 --> 0:55:57.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe she is Nate get out. This is episode ninety,

0:55:58.080 --> 0:56:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Episode ninety for eighty nine episodes. I've been softer and

0:56:03.520 --> 0:56:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting harder and harder. But hey, man, I build

0:56:06.880 --> 0:56:11.120
<v Speaker 1>this up. That build these podcasts up, like like we're friends.

0:56:11.719 --> 0:56:14.680
<v Speaker 1>And Nate he's my dude. Man, he's a Yuege nationer

0:56:14.760 --> 0:56:17.160
<v Speaker 1>since two thousand and eight. He's been to almost every

0:56:17.160 --> 0:56:21.160
<v Speaker 1>show in Colorado and Wyoming since twenty thirteen. We have

0:56:21.440 --> 0:56:25.719
<v Speaker 1>a bond. My shows in Colorado and Wyoming are crazy.

0:56:25.800 --> 0:56:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Those people not because of us, but because the people.

0:56:28.480 --> 0:56:32.680
<v Speaker 1>We have a bond. Nate is my bro, and so

0:56:32.840 --> 0:56:36.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna sugarcoat this for him when I know

0:56:36.840 --> 0:56:38.680
<v Speaker 1>he's a life for a Yege Nation or I'm not

0:56:38.719 --> 0:56:41.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna sugarcoat this if I was in there, if I

0:56:41.160 --> 0:56:44.360
<v Speaker 1>was sitting with him and we're sitting there in a

0:56:44.360 --> 0:56:47.920
<v Speaker 1>campfire and he dumped this on me, but I'd say, bro,

0:56:48.080 --> 0:56:52.520
<v Speaker 1>get out, because that's weird. It's a weird way for

0:56:52.560 --> 0:56:55.680
<v Speaker 1>her to say this is not gonna work out. If

0:56:55.719 --> 0:57:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I can't, you can't switch churches. That's just weird, right well,

0:57:00.640 --> 0:57:02.360
<v Speaker 1>And it's good that they're, like you said, they're not

0:57:02.400 --> 0:57:04.200
<v Speaker 1>married and they don't have kids involved. Because if you

0:57:04.200 --> 0:57:06.080
<v Speaker 1>do get married and you guys haven't resolved this, it's

0:57:06.080 --> 0:57:07.720
<v Speaker 1>going to cause a lot of friction in your marriage

0:57:07.719 --> 0:57:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and with your kids and how you raise them. Yeah,

0:57:09.960 --> 0:57:13.719
<v Speaker 1>let me rephrase. It's not weird, it's actually normal if

0:57:13.719 --> 0:57:17.400
<v Speaker 1>you're not totally in love. Yeah. I would have said

0:57:17.400 --> 0:57:20.080
<v Speaker 1>something weird like that to a girl if I wouldn't

0:57:20.080 --> 0:57:22.080
<v Speaker 1>totally end he or I might have said, like, you know,

0:57:22.160 --> 0:57:24.520
<v Speaker 1>this might just not work out if you can't do this.

0:57:25.200 --> 0:57:28.320
<v Speaker 1>So man, I just there's a lot of pride going

0:57:28.320 --> 0:57:33.160
<v Speaker 1>on and kind of on both sides. Or maybe maybe

0:57:33.440 --> 0:57:37.000
<v Speaker 1>she's she is way into him, but she's mad that

0:57:37.040 --> 0:57:40.200
<v Speaker 1>it's been four years and he hasn't off the question. Yeah,

0:57:40.240 --> 0:57:43.919
<v Speaker 1>maybe that because of another thing. But regardless that, Nate,

0:57:44.080 --> 0:57:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you would have done it by now

0:57:45.920 --> 0:57:50.000
<v Speaker 1>if you were totally in As much as we read

0:57:50.000 --> 0:57:51.720
<v Speaker 1>comments on these podcasts, now, I can just hear them

0:57:51.760 --> 0:57:54.680
<v Speaker 1>ringing at me right now, like, yeah, dare you say

0:57:54.720 --> 0:57:59.400
<v Speaker 1>that about them? That's my situation. But that's just not

0:58:00.160 --> 0:58:03.240
<v Speaker 1>that's not a good enough reason. There's there's a marriage

0:58:04.240 --> 0:58:06.760
<v Speaker 1>is a compromise and you're not married, but you're in

0:58:06.800 --> 0:58:10.000
<v Speaker 1>a long term relationship and there's a compromise that has

0:58:10.040 --> 0:58:15.880
<v Speaker 1>to happen. And if Amber, if Amber's right, hey, let's

0:58:15.880 --> 0:58:19.320
<v Speaker 1>go to both. Then what do you say to that, Nate?

0:58:19.560 --> 0:58:23.240
<v Speaker 1>If that's what, how much are you holding back? Nate?

0:58:23.280 --> 0:58:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I should say that, how much are you resisting? Like?

0:58:26.200 --> 0:58:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Maybe maybe this is a good cop backcop Maybe you

0:58:30.120 --> 0:58:32.160
<v Speaker 1>have told her the same thing, but you're not mentioning

0:58:32.160 --> 0:58:34.560
<v Speaker 1>it on the semol Maybe you've told her I ain't

0:58:34.600 --> 0:58:38.520
<v Speaker 1>going to your big city church. And yeah, and we

0:58:38.560 --> 0:58:40.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know how often have you, guys both been to

0:58:40.560 --> 0:58:42.600
<v Speaker 1>each other's I guess she said she feels judged when

0:58:42.600 --> 0:58:45.680
<v Speaker 1>she goes. Maybe you nix both churches and find a

0:58:45.720 --> 0:58:48.600
<v Speaker 1>new church home. Idea, find a new church home together,

0:58:48.680 --> 0:58:50.880
<v Speaker 1>start from scratch. That's a good idea to meet new people.

0:58:51.000 --> 0:58:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's hey, babe, I can't go to your church. I

0:58:55.480 --> 0:58:57.480
<v Speaker 1>just don't feel comfortable. You can't go to mind you

0:58:57.480 --> 0:58:59.520
<v Speaker 1>don't feel comfortable. Let's find a new one that we

0:58:59.520 --> 0:59:02.920
<v Speaker 1>both agree on. Yeah, and if you can't agree on one, bye,

0:59:04.080 --> 0:59:09.120
<v Speaker 1>that's like there you go, that's your son. Yeah, Okay,

0:59:09.640 --> 0:59:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I still think Nate needs a dumper. I do. That's

0:59:14.360 --> 0:59:17.280
<v Speaker 1>my The female perspective is like, let's compromise, let's work. Yeah,

0:59:17.440 --> 0:59:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Nate needs a dumper. And just because he's my boy,
