Are there people that don't? 66 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: Man, A lot of people do a lot of it, 67 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 2: even if it's just even if they don't think that 68 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 2: they're content creators. If you're taking pictures and posting them 69 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: on Instagram or Facebook. Your con that's content. 70 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: What about after midnight? Would you run an after midnight 71 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: radio show if I was dead? 72 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: I think that's up to Premiere. 73 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: We have a boss. We have a big boss that 74 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: would have to make that. 75 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: I've got a show done, can we we would play it. 76 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: We do talk about this. There are version there are 77 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: pieces of that show. That's a that's a different thing 78 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: because we I have so much dry voice of Granger 79 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: that I could pump that all into AI. We continue 80 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: to have. 81 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: Let's not get into a I we lost too long ago. 82 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: Have recently? Have you seen the interviews and it takes 83 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: me like twenty seconds to if it's real or not. 84 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: And then you'll see like a flag waving in the 85 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: background and it's kind of blurry and you're like, oh, 86 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: you already see smoke, and you recognize AI smoke right now? 87 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: You can still like, for instance, the reason I say 88 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: that is because there's so much Middle East missiles and 89 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: war and you're like, oh, it's not real. It's like 90 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: a city and missiles are coming and hitting it, people 91 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: are running, and you go, wait a minute, my algorithm. 92 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: My algorithm is a lot of fitness stuff. So I'll 93 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: see like a guy that's like obviously on steroids, oh, 94 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: like huge, and there's a reporter like interviewing him, like, 95 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: so what supplements do you take? Easy? 96 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 2: Oh? 97 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: I only take cretine and weight protein powder. That's it. No, 98 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: no steroids, no nothing. It's a I you're saying, it's yeah, yeah, 99 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: but it looks real. Have you seen the newscast? Newscasters 100 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,679 Speaker 1: down they're out like in a storm.

Right? The one that's really good? 108 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: I don't even know. 109 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: Something three A row three or whatever. I saw a 110 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 2: video on my YouTube pop up that said, oh one 111 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: was just released that completely kills that one, and that's 112 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 2: going to be the new video you see, Well, this 113 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 2: one kills the last one, kills the last one. 114 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: If you die there, there will be an AI version 115 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: if if the audience demands it in premiere is cool 116 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: with it and they'll send checks to Hamber of using 117 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: your likeness for sure. That's nuts, man, I mean would 118 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: be okay with it. I won't. I won't care. 119 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 2: No, But right now knowing that that right now, you know. 120 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: It provides for Yeah, if it provides provides for the 121 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: family and there get their meals paid for. Now, there 122 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: there's videos of President Trump that are like almost perfect 123 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: that that are fake. So yeah, I don't know. We're 124 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: entering in a world we've we've seen this coming. We 125 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: saw this coming a few years now. We're kind of 126 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: now entering the new era of a I don't even 127 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: know why we're talking about this. 128 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 2: The it's interesting. We've taught you say that we've talked 129 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 2: about it, but we've literally talked about it after midnight. 130 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 2: It's been topics and it's been a while. It might 131 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 2: be good to bring one of those back up, Yeah, 132 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 2: to see and replay some of the old ones, like 133 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: maybe two years ago AI conversations, because it is drastically changed. 134 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: When was the last time you used Google? Because all 135 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: I do is go to chat gubutino, I still do both. 136 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: I find myself trying to go to Google and I'm like, 137 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: what am I? 138 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: I I'll just ask. 139 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: Because sponsored sponsored, sponsor doesn't answer anything I asked, and 140 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: chat juts they're changing that Google's were changing. I'm sure 141 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: they're struggling. They're hurrying right now. I read that there's 142 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: like now the Defense Department just paid like four hundred 143 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: million dollars to open AI because they're gonna they're using 144 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: it for the defense Department. Ukraine evidently has drones that 145 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: are completely autonomous AI that could make decisions to fire 146 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: on an enemy on its own, its own decision, So 147 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: I terminators here. It's it's crazy, but I'm not worried 148 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: about any of this stuff. It's it's interesting. I don't 149 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: lose sleep over any of this. I just I'm kind 150 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: of watching with popcorn watch, just eating popcorn watching now 151 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: because well, because I'm a Christian, because i I my 152 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: hope is grounded in Christ, not in human yes, Sarah 153 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: Connor human civilization, because that that that will always fluctuate 154 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: and ebb and flow, and and my faith in Christ 155 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: will not. So there's that. But also it's kind of 156 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: it's kind of fun to see it as it unfolds 157 00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: and just think, wow, this is cool. You know. Let 158 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: me let me say this we just lost our grandmother 159 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: and we there are there there is an AI app 160 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: that I don't know if I've talked to you about 161 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: this before, but there is an AI app that will 162 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: take old photographs and make them come to life. Right, 163 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: So so yeah, so we we were doing that, playing 164 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: with pictures of my grandmother from the nineteen thirties, forties, fifties, 165 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: and she's it makes the picture come to life with 166 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: the people in the picture with them. And so that 167 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: that's just the beginning, because soon I'll say that we 168 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: will lose a loved one and you'll be able to 169 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: then either speak to a hologram with them or you'll 170 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: be able to watch that they'll be able to speak 171 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: at their own funeral. I know, I agree, Tyler. I 172 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: don't like it either, That's right, that's a point in AI. 173 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, because I've seen friends and if you 174 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: lose somebody just at which everybody has or will. Like 175 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: last night, for instance, I started thinking about our grandma, 176 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: and man, you can quickly go down a self you know, 177 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: or self pity, like feeling sorry for yourself, getting sad. 178 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: And I said, nope, I love many. I'm thinking of 179 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 1: something else immediately changing the thought process to positive. And 180 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: everybody's different, but I'm like, I'm not going to waste 181 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: the next thirty minutes thinking about sad memories. They're just 182 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: and some people might think that's cold or something, but 183 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: to your point, man, yeah, people are gonna just are 184 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: going to live with that hologram with on twenty four 185 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: to seven. It's like, that's a I'm looking forward is 186 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: my whole point. So I want to go to that. 187 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: I'm very grateful, but I want to double click on 188 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: what you just said. I'm looking forward, But I also 189 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: just want to touch one more time that the future 190 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: is coming where people will have a choice to have 191 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: the deceased level and speak at the funeral, to speak 192 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: to their children, to speak words of encouragement back to them. 193 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: It's very scary, but I think people will be tempted 194 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: to do that. And it's literally literally necromancy speaking to 195 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: the dead in a modern version of it, where you're 196 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: not speaking to the dead, You're you're speaking to a 197 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: mimicking echo of an algorithm that's representing that person. I 198 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: don't think this exists yet, but it's coming. 199 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: I guarantee it's been talked about. You talked about you know, 200 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 2: they're working on it. 201 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: You'll at the very least you'll be able to sit 202 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: at a funeral and watch on a screen as they say, 203 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: now a message from Grandma and she goes, hey, everybody, 204 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: don't stress, don't be sad. I'm in a better place now. 205 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: And Mike, thank you so much for everything you've done. 206 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: And like it's gonna be and everyone's gonna be crying 207 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: and they're literally watching AI. That's coming, if not a 208 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: hologram staying at a podium, you know, actually speaking, and 209 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: people will be talking for years, for decades. People already 210 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 1: have trouble moving forward in grief, they're gonna have a 211 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: lot of trouble if they literally they're talking to their 212 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: deceased spouse every day after they get off work. That's coming. 213 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: But let's talk about what you said, Toller. Why is 214 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: it that we look forward and man, after losing many 215 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: it's like a oh man, old the old grief, the 216 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: old friend grief comes back and you go, oh, there 217 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: it is again. There's that feeling of grief that we 218 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: get when we lose someone very close to us. It's 219 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: a very unique feeling that comes creeping back up into 220 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: the bottom your throat, you know. And there is something 221 00:11:53,640 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: about us humans that we love. We find a kind 222 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: of a sinister comfort in remembering and looking backwards at 223 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: a loved one and memory the good memories from that 224 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: loved one. And then we take it one step further 225 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: and we remind ourselves that that memory will never happen again. 226 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: We do that to ourselves in a very it's very 227 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: strange how the human brain does that. And I believe 228 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: that's because the brain was never created to understand to 229 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: comprehend death, because we weren't created for death as a 230 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: result of the fall. We were not created to end, 231 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: to end our being right. And so when it does 232 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: temporarily on this earth, and we see it from our 233 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: temporal eyes and our temporal brains, using ten percent of 234 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: our brains, we can understand how a person is no 235 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: longer existing. They're now six feet under the ground in 236 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: a wooden box, or they are ashes burned in an oven, 237 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: sitting in a little vase urn. We can't comprehend that, 238 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: and we especially for like I just talked to him yesterday, 239 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: or I have these memories on my iPhone, all these 240 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: videos of this person. How could they not be here? 241 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: And so then your brain, if you let it relax, 242 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: it goes backwards and all. It never looks forwards. It 243 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: always looks backwards at the good old times. I remember 244 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: Mannie waving from the from the porch as I went away. 245 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: I'll never see that again. I remember Mannie taking me 246 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: to the grocery store in the pickup truck and getting 247 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: some milk so we can make gravy. And I'll never 248 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: taste the gravy again. It's said of that, it's immediately, Wow, 249 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: I had a grandma that stood out there and waved. Wow. 250 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: I had a grandma that took the time to go 251 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: take me to the you know. And I'm not saying 252 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: I'm great at that, but it's like, immediately just switching 253 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: that to gratefulness. Man, Yeah, credible Grandma. The natural brain 254 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: doesn't go there. I know. Yeah, I struggle. We all 255 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: struggle with that. 256 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 2: I think for a lot too, that people struggle with 257 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 2: how much grief is too much? And you know, what 258 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 2: is what is healthy and what is not? And I 259 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 2: think that line is hard to hard to find. You know. 260 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 2: There was a particular guy I remember at EEE Fest 261 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 2: that came up and he was talking about his father 262 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: he had some like ashes or something, you know, in 263 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: a necklace or something, and it had been years and 264 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 2: he's an atheist and he's still mourning. 265 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, because there's no I think that's I think that's 266 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Man. I've had some losses in my family. Uh, 267 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: and this this is the first loss I've had as 268 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: a Christian. Mmmm, which I just realized as we're talking 269 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: about it and we're trying to filter through my grief process. 270 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: Even though you always start we grew up Christians, you know, 271 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: we grew up and see, I know what you're saying, 272 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: but just to clarify, for clarify, we've always thought we 273 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: were I've always on to church, We've always learned, we've 274 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: always understood the gospel born again Christian where I am 275 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: I am his and he is mine. I'm you know, 276 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: being being Christ's treasure. He's my treasure. Yeah, He's above 277 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: all else. He sustains me, he holds me in the 278 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: palm of his hand. So yeah, I'm just working through 279 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: this right now. But it's like this is the first 280 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: major loss with with Christ. And so yeah, I don't 281 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: know where I'm going with that, but it's makes sense. 282 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: There's a peace and a hope and a love and 283 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: not that I didn't have that with Dad and Riv, 284 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: but it's just in every every or your other grandparents 285 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: or yeah, her uncles lost her aunts. 286 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 2: What's your first one after being truly transformed? 287 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so And for context, she was an awesome grandmother, 288 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: Like if you could think of a good grandmother, she 289 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: was there. She was there. She was in the good category, 290 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, like very present with kids, just loved us 291 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: so favoritism left each in their own way. Yeah, it 292 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: just was always so present and and caring and serving 293 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: and really good cook and and so uh you got 294 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: incredible biscuits and gravy. And came from a generation where, 295 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, she's literally born into a home in West 296 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: Texas on a farm where they didn't have electricity or 297 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: running water and or a car. You know, it was 298 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: like it was a horse and buggy. So she's the 299 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: last generation, she's the most dynamic generation will we'll ever know. 300 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: I would imagine that's a I can make that statement, 301 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: going from horse and buggy, no electricity to the end 302 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: of her life AI. 303 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 2: Two different worlds. 304 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: I don't think there's been that big a change ever 305 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: in human history. I don't think in that amount of time, 306 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: because horse and buggy wouldn't have been that too different 307 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: from two hundred years before that or five hundred years 308 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: before that or eight hundred years before that. It wouldn't 309 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: be that different. 310 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: Was not that drastic. 311 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: What year was she born? Nineteen twenty six? 312 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's goodness. 313 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, but not just nineteen twenty six, but in West 314 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: Texas farm nineteen twenty six with her when her dad 315 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: was born in eighteen eighty six. Yeah. I don't know 316 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: if you said it, but she had a dirt Their 317 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: house was a dirt floor. Yeah, like dirt floor with 318 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: no electricity raised all their their they either grew their 319 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: food or their animals were their food. They're you know, 320 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: the town was you know many our buggy ride and 321 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: you go to town to get salt and sugar, and 322 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: that all their dresses were made of potato sacks, that 323 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: mama sod shoes. I have all this because I've recorded 324 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 1: a forty five minute thing. You're playing that the other 325 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: day fifteen years ago. I recorded this and put it together. 326 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: We could tell me the other day he goes Mini's 327 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: dancing in heaven with their potato sack on something like that. 328 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: She said that. She said, when she was a little girl, 329 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: they they wanted to be barefoot so bad that Mama 330 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: would put it on the calendar the day they could 331 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: finally go barefoot. That was the day's school let out. 332 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: They were looking forward to that more than other things 333 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: of summer. So they got finally get that day. No 334 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: more shoes until the fall. Oh, those crumby old shoes, 335 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: you know that they didn't they didn't want to deal 336 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: with so they would go all summer with those shoes. 337 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: That was That's the way she grew up. 338 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 2: What a year, because I'm not a Texas boy from Oklahoma, 339 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 2: what year did Texas become a state? 340 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: I'm eighteen thirty six? Was declaration of Independence? Yeah, I think, man, 341 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, eighteen am I. 342 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 2: Just super close to that, you know, I mean I 343 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 2: say super close, not if it was eighteen thirty six. 344 00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, and then it was only it was only 345 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: like or nine years later when they were annexed to 346 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: the United States. Okay, Yeah, they got their freedom from 347 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: Mexico and there was like a very short within a 348 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: decade time period when they were their own sovereign nation 349 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: and they were taken in. 350 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 2: I was like the man that and grew up in 351 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 2: the time where it's just I mean, you think about that. 352 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 2: It was not long after that, not long after it 353 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 2: became a state. Was she being raised in West Texas? 354 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, And then to that point, her dad eighteen eighty six, 355 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: she was born nineteen twenty six. That would have just 356 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 1: been a few decades after the comanches were cleared from 357 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: that land. No, not eighteen eighty he was born in 358 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: eighteen eighty six. Yeah, they were still that was the 359 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: very end of their their hardcore reign, like was seventies 360 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: and into the eighties. So yeah, her dad parents were 361 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: in it. 362 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 2: You know what I can't wait to see is the 363 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 2: comments on this one. Correct. Yeah, this is actually what 364 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 2: happened during that for you. 365 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. So all that to say, my point is to 366 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: Tyler's point about looking forward. What hit me hard the 367 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: other day was John twenty one, which just happened to 368 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: be in my daily reading. Read If you're going through 369 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: grief and you're a Christian, meaning you're born again, you 370 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: believe in Christ, you trust in Jesus for the forgiveness 371 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: of your sins, then read John twenty one again and 372 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: think about think about grief through the eyes of that chapter. 373 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: It's interesting to think of this because in that chapter, 374 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: in John twenty one, Jesus has resurrected. Peter says, I'm 375 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: going fishing. John and the brothers they say, we're going 376 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: to They're all out there fishing fish all day. Don't 377 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: catch anything. There's a man on the shore. He says, 378 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: you guys catch anything, No, Hey cast over to the right. 379 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: So they do net fills with fish. That the whole 380 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:04,719 Speaker 1: thing's weighing down. John goes, it's the Lord, which is interesting. 381 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: Right there, just if you pause right there, that's interesting. 382 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: He didn't know him. No one knows Jesus, the resurrected 383 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 1: Jesus until later, either it's revealed their eyes are opened, 384 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 1: or he speaks, or he says their name in the 385 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: case of Mary. But in different instances it's revealed to 386 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: them who he is, but they never they never recognize 387 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: him right away. It's the Lord, Peter. Peter sees it, 388 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: throws on his outer garment, dives into the water, swims 389 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: to him. They all get there and there he is, 390 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: and he's got a little charcoal fire. He says, hey, 391 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: put some of those fish you guys cut on here. 392 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: Let's eat, they sit around lounging at the fire and 393 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: have this conversation. Right, and and what's interesting if you 394 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: just think about that chapter and think about what's happening here, 395 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: Paul says. Paul writes that Jesus is the first from 396 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 1: the dead, meaning he's the first to get this new body, 397 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: the resurrected body, the renewed body that we know. We 398 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: don't know a lot about it, but we know it's 399 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: going to be perfect. We know it has no flaws. 400 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: We know we won't cry in this body. We won't 401 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: feel sorrow or sadness. We know that we won't have sickness. 402 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: It won't deteriorate or get old or malfunction. It'll be 403 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: perfect in that aspect. And we also know through this 404 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: chapter and through other chapters that it's not immediately recognizable. 405 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: Like if you saw me in my red my new body, 406 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: you wouldn't immediately go that's granger, but you would see 407 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: me as a human. Though, you would see me as 408 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: a person. You wouldn't think I'm an angel or a 409 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: ghost or a monster of any kind. 410 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 2: There's an apparition. 411 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not that, and I'm not I don't have 412 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: some weird glow to me or wings. You know I 413 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: am a human, you would wreck regnize me as a human, 414 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 1: just not necessarily granger. But we would also eat together. 415 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: Jesus eats in this new body, and it's not because 416 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: he's hungry, but because it's fellowship and it's good food. 417 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: And we would enjoy the food because it's delicious and 418 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: it glorifies God in the gift of eating and fellowship 419 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: and conversation. And we would rest not because we're tired 420 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: from the hard day, but because we enjoy resting with 421 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: our friends. And we would walk, and we would work, 422 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: not because we need to earn money because we're broke 423 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: or we need to pay a bill, but because we 424 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: love to work and use our hands and cultivate the 425 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: soil of what God has given us me. So there's 426 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: so many things you could take away from that chapter. 427 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: But what we should think about when we're grieving a Christian, 428 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: a fellow believer in Christ that's gone from this earth, 429 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 1: we should think, this is not the last time. All 430 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: those memories of looking backwards, I'll never see your wave, 431 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: I'll never see your cook biscuits and gravy. We'll never 432 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: walk around the park and have a conversation. Wrong, that's 433 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: not what we get from the Bible. We get that 434 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: we will actually have a. 435 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 3: Dinner party, and we will eat, and we'll talk, and 436 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 3: we'll walk, and we'll work, and we'll love, and we 437 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 3: will we will have a communication with another human, not 438 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,479 Speaker 3: in a weird celestial cloud apparition type way, you know, 439 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 3: Cupid sitting on sitting on a puffy cloud. 440 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: We will. We will say, hey, let's eat, let's set up, 441 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: tell me about your day, what's going on. We will 442 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: have conversations back and forth. It's hard to comprehend that, 443 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: but if you focus on that looking forward, then you 444 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: think the memories and the temporal earth start to fade away. Yeah. Also, 445 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: yes we will. That was a great way of explaining 446 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: that we will see them again. But also what I 447 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: got from that was which side of the boat do 448 00:24:58,640 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: you want to be looking on? Do you want to 449 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: be looking at the side of the boat without Jesus 450 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: where you're not catching anything, or do you want to 451 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: turn around and keep your eyes on Jesus and He's 452 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: going to give you everything far abundantly than you could 453 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: ever imagine. It's like, I want to be focused on 454 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: that side of the boat. Yeah, and that's a good 455 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: point because what you're saying we shouldn't, we shouldn't desire 456 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: heaven so that we could see Grandma right the wrong, 457 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: that's to your point. That's just an awesome perso. Man, 458 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: that's an extra perk. Yeah, we should we should desire 459 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: heaven because we're going to be with him, the One. Yeah, 460 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: literally fashioned and created what I didn't. You know what 461 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: I didn't realize until recently was I used to grow 462 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: up when I thought I was a Christian thinking I 463 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: can't wait to see Dad. Man, can't wait out, he 464 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: can't wait to hug him as soon as I get there, 465 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: and be like, no, it's I want to see Jesus first, 466 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: Like give me the One, yeah, the mad Dad. Yeah, 467 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: everything saves me. That shows me and got me out 468 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: of this world and said you were mine, Like let 469 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: me let me spend some time with him, And then 470 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: I imagine him going like this would be like local 471 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: and it's like Manny and Dad and rib mm hmm man. 472 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: That Yeah, that's so often we worship and idolize the 473 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: gifts and not the gift giver. Yeah, how how how 474 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: sad is it to to be so excited about the 475 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,959 Speaker 1: the the present, and not the gift giver of the present. 476 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: When the gift giver knows everything about the present, literally 477 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: made the present, loved you so much that he gave 478 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: you the present, you know. Yeah, and then when, but 479 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: when we get to heaven, we'll enjoy the presence with 480 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: the gift giver and we'll eat evidently fish, I like that, 481 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: drink wine. Evidently fish man. No time to waste. Whoever's watching, 482 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: repent and believe today is the day of salvation. The 483 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: best is yet to come. Man. Yeah, that's coming from 484 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: some that lost my grandma, and I was up with 485 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: the few days ago. 486 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 2: If you are grieving now, dear and now, dear brothers 487 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,719 Speaker 2: and sisters, we want you to know what will happen 488 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 2: to the believers who have died, so you will not 489 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 2: grieve like people who have no hope. For since we 490 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 2: believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, 491 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 2: he also believed that when Jesus returns, God will bring 492 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 2: back with him the believers who have died. We tell 493 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 2: you this directly from the Lord. We who are still 494 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 2: living when the Lord returns, will not meet him ahead 495 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 2: of those who have died. For the Lord himself will 496 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 2: come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the 497 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 2: voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. 498 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 2: First the believers who have died will rise from their graves. Then, 499 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 2: together with them, we who are still alive and remain 500 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 2: on the earth, will be caught up in the clouds 501 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 2: to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will 502 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 2: be with the Lord forever. Don't grieve like those who 503 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 2: have no hope. It's incredible first these alliance. 504 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: When Jesus says, no one who puts it puts his 505 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: hand on the plow and looks back, it's fit for 506 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God. There there is an implication of 507 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: of the the negative side of looking backwards and wishing 508 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: and grieving and and self deprecating like you were mentioning earlier. Yeah, 509 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: you're gonna you will get stuck. It is a it's 510 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: a dangerous quicksand to continue to look back as a Christian. Now, 511 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: if you're if you're an atheist or an agnostic and 512 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,479 Speaker 1: you don't know, you don't trust Christ, you might as 513 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: well look back. That's all you have. Yeah, yeah, might 514 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: as well. Dude, live it up. 515 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 2: Don't do that i'd really, you know, live it up really. Yeah, 516 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 2: here here what you've what you've heard, but. 517 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: You know, because this is all you have is yeah, 518 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: short time here on earth? Yeah, and it is short. 519 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 2: Even ninety nine years is short. 520 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, especially comparing to eternity. 521 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, not even a speck of sand. 522 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,959 Speaker 1: Got some questions, you want to jump into them? Yeah? 523 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: Have you lost all your grandparents? 524 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 2: They were most of them were all I had one. Now, 525 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 2: I had two grandmothers. Never had a grandfather while I 526 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 2: was alive, and it was close to both my grandmothers, 527 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 2: and so I lost them when I was young though, 528 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 2: either my my dad's MoMA lost when I was ten maybe, 529 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 2: and then my mom's and I think in my twenties, 530 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 2: early twenties. 531 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, we've now Tyler and I've lost all of them. 532 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: It's the pyramid of life, as is the tip. As 533 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: you get closer in the tip, you get less and 534 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: less people up there. It's less, yeah, less crowded up 535 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: at the up there. We're not there yet, but as 536 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: we get closer, as you should. Take many For example, 537 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: our grandmother we just lost. It was just her, I mean, 538 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: she lost all of her six siblings. Obviously, her mom 539 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: and dad, or all our grandparents, all her son. Yeah, 540 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: she lost a son, two husbands, a grandson, a great grandson. Yeah, 541 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: she's you know, she was pretty lonely up there besides us. 542 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: So that's just the natural course. Here's the question come 543 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: from Johann. 544 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 2: Johanneyeah, okay, Johann, maybe. 545 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: Johan hey Granger. So I am a born again Christian, 546 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: but my wife hasn't come to that point yet. How 547 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: do I go about not pushing it too hard? But 548 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: I'm not sure which way to go or how to lead. 549 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: We started going to church, but I can tell that 550 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: she doesn't want to, and I think that she just 551 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: goes because she doesn't want to look like that kind 552 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: of mom that doesn't go. How do I go about 553 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: loving her and guiding her in the right direction. She 554 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: doesn't like hearing too much about it from me, and 555 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: so I tried not to push. I'm not sure I 556 00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: got any advice. Patience, a lot of patience, a lot 557 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: of patience, a lot of prayer. And I think there's 558 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: a sense, Johan, there's a sense of not pushing. That's good. 559 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: That's a good thing because faith comes from hearing, hearing 560 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: the word of Christ. And if if she's heard from you, 561 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: then then the seed's planted, and now you're got to 562 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: live it. You'll let her live the gospel out in 563 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: front of her. I wouldn't pressure her to go to church. 564 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: Going to church doesn't save you. Having good spiritual disciplines 565 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: doesn't save you. Only faith in Christ saves you. And 566 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: going to church and spiritual disciplines, all that stuff is 567 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: a product of a heart that's changed and redeemed and 568 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: new and what now wants that? So, I mean, you 569 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: can make an argument that her going to church, she 570 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: could hear the gospel more, but I wouldn't push her 571 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: on that. I would love her like the Bible tells 572 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: you to love your wife, and I would. I would 573 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: her and care for her and pray for her, and 574 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: don't scold her for not going to church. When you 575 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: go to church, and tell the other families at church 576 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: the situation so they could be praying for you, and 577 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: so they could say, Hey, we want to invite your 578 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: family to dinner, and we want you to bring her 579 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: your wife, and and we'll just model this in front 580 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: of her. And to what we've been talking about. Sometimes 581 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: it's suffering, that's the switch, that's that snaps someone that 582 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: the Lord uses. So what do you guys think? 583 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 2: My thought is, I think the I have an older 584 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 2: daughter who's getting married next May, and so I mentioned before, 585 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 2: I'm doing the doing the ceremony. So I've been thinking 586 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 2: a lot about this and how to challenge them in 587 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 2: their future together. And I think my first thought here 588 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 2: is I wouldn't worry so much about the church part 589 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 2: of it. I wouldn't worry more about what you're doing 590 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 2: as the leader of your home, in your house. And 591 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 2: that's not pressure, that's not guilt trips, that's not being 592 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 2: an iron being an iron fist. It's what you said, 593 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 2: loving and caring and leading and guiding. And are you 594 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 2: reading together? Are you reading the Bible together? Are you 595 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 2: praying together? Are you encouraging her by what you're reading 596 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 2: and what you're learning from from your alone time with God? 597 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 2: That will speak way louder than a preacher that she 598 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 2: doesn't know is has no fellowship with has you know? 599 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 2: And I think and the reason I say that, I 600 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 2: think a lot of times, and I've been guilty of 601 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 2: this in the past, is I don't know how to 602 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 2: deal with it. If I take her to church, they'll 603 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 2: deal with it instead of that, reflect inward first and 604 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 2: ask God to expose those things in your heart that 605 00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 2: are not edifying to your marriage. He'll come those out 606 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 2: and start putting in the right stuff, and you can 607 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 2: lead your family to church rather than take them to church. 608 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: The church becomes a crutch, right, like Reial, he's especially here, 609 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,439 Speaker 1: especially here. Yeah, yeah, you did he say that he's 610 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,800 Speaker 1: became a believer, borning and believer after getting married. I 611 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: didn't say, well, okay, well, I was just going to say, y'all, 612 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: y'all summed it up. But I was going to say 613 00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: that God doesn't make any mistakes. This is part of 614 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: his plan, you know the fact that he is and 615 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: she isn't yet he doesn't make any mistakes. Just keep 616 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: trusting and praying. Yeah, that's good. Absolutely, don't use church 617 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 1: as a crutch. Also, on a side note, people do 618 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: that with their kids. Yeah, Like you're not teaching your 619 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: kid the Bible because that's what they're doing church Sunday school. 620 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: That's Sunday School's job, right or children's another danger. Yeah, 621 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: we got another question. Kenny says, Hello, grand Jo, I'm 622 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,879 Speaker 1: seventeen year old from Houston now from Houston now in Arizona. 623 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: I know this sounds weird coming from a teenager, especially 624 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,720 Speaker 1: a guy, but I want a wife and children so much. 625 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: It is something I often cry over when I'm talking 626 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: with the Lord, and I don't know why it is 627 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: and why this is something I feel so strongly about. 628 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 1: I know it's good to be a teenager, but I 629 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: wish I was older and had a family. How do 630 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: I wait? How do I prepare myself? I love the 631 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,919 Speaker 1: Lord and all that you do. Thanks bold. 632 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 2: When you're young, you want to be older. When you're old, 633 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 2: you want to be young. 634 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 1: I want to be older. 635 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 2: That's right. 636 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 1: Contentment, Yeah, that's a lack of contentment. It's a contentment problem. 637 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 638 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: Although I Kenny, I understand all of us say things 639 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: like that, but we hear you and been there. 640 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 641 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: And the mom says that those who wait for the 642 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with 643 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: wings like eagles, wait for the Lord. How do you 644 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,720 Speaker 1: do that? What do you do while you're waiting? 645 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 2: I'll say seven, I'm sorry, no, no, no, good at seventeen to 646 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 2: have that desire rather than some of the things you 647 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 2: can have at seventeen, like it's good like it's the 648 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 2: right track. It's like a horse, you know, with a bridle. 649 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 2: It's this thing can just run and go wherever. With 650 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 2: a bride's that power is restrained and directed. 651 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: Very mature for a seventeen year old. 652 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, at least that thought process for sure. So 653 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,800 Speaker 2: that part of it is not bad. Wanting a family 654 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 2: and wanting a wife and wanting you know, that's great 655 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 2: at seventeen, but for it to consume your life, you know, 656 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 2: I don't know, that's it's unbridled at the moment. 657 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, wait patiently for the Lord. Yeah, I don't. I 658 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: don't know. I respect that. I think that's awesome. But 659 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: when you're seventeen, I'm assuming he's in high school. I'm 660 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 1: assuming he doesn't have it's not in college. And it's like, yeah, 661 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: you need to be focused on focusing on Jesus, but 662 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,839 Speaker 1: focus on it yourself right now. Like I'm only saying 663 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: that just based on my personal experience and then also 664 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: based on watching Lincoln grow up. It's like, man, there's 665 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: so many things you need to be focused on besides 666 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: girls right now, because the chances of you marrying whoever 667 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,480 Speaker 1: you're with at seventeen are very slim, I know that 668 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: there's stories of that happening, but don't waste your time. 669 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: I think to that point that there's a danger here 670 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: with Kenny, because if that's this is as as crazy 671 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 1: as it is for him that he's even writing an 672 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: email to this podcast. I want a wife, I cry 673 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: over this, he says, So I would be careful that 674 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 1: this is not revealing a deeper problem of discontentment that 675 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: could be satisfied wrongly by the first girl that comes 676 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:51,439 Speaker 1: in the door. 677 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, very true. 678 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 1: Here she is. I got this is my wife. No 679 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: more crying for me. 680 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 2: I was praying, and look who showed up. 681 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 1: Look who showed up? Thank you Lord. And the problems. Yes, yes, 682 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: because you're not You're you aren't seeking Christ first. You're 683 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: seeking the idol of a wife first. And it could 684 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: easily may may not be I'm not accu accusing you 685 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: of that, but it may be the beginning seeds of 686 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: what could easily become an idol if it's just the 687 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 1: idea of a wife, or even worse, an actual girl 688 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: that comes in and she actually becomes the idol, and 689 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: then you're worshiping her. You're trying to do everything you 690 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: can to please her. And to satisfy her because not 691 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: not because you're actually selflessly serving her, but because that's 692 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: that's what's fulfilling you.
