We understand. It's like wow, 100 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: it's amazing, And there's so much freedom in us to 101 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: be able to say that out loud, because there's a 102 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: pressure where we need to like, oh, we need to 103 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: we have to do this. We got to pay the bills, 104 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: we got to make sure that this launch performs well. 105 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: Instead we just we let it go and we go, Hey, 106 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: we understand, if money's tight, don't buy a single thing. 107 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: Take care of your family. That's that's horrible advertising from 108 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: a marketing standpoint, but I think it's just really good honesty. 109 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we do launches every month, and so like, 110 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: if you're buying from us every single month, like that's 111 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 2: a lot of money.

My wife twenty six and I twenty 146 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: seven right now are considering IVF. We have been trying 147 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: for almost a year to conceive and have recently found 148 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: out that I, U, I or IVF. Maybe you're only 149 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: not option due to some medical issues. We attend an 150 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: SBC church and regularly serve in the worship ministry. I 151 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: am worried that we might be pushed out of our 152 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: church were we to where we have grown deep relationships 153 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: with the pastor and other partitioners. Given the Southern Baptist 154 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: Convention's recent vote to oppose IVF, I'm interested to hear 155 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: your thoughts on this, giving your experience with IVF and 156 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: your connection to the SBC. God bless Tyler, Arkansas. Hey Tyler, 157 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: thanks for the question, man. It's a great one, and 158 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: it's this is a fresh wound that the band aid 159 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: has just come off of with the SBC as they 160 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: have voted. It was just as I'm reading this, it's 161 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: only two weeks ago that the Southern Baptist Convention voted 162 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: against the approval or the endorsement of IVF and IVF 163 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: in mutual fertilization comes really with two camps, and this 164 00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: is the argument at the SBC. There's two camps of 165 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: opposition of IVF. One is the people that say IVF 166 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: is okay, as long as you don't make as long 167 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: as you I'll put it this way, as long as 168 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: you don't leave embryos extra. That's the most non medical 169 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: way I could say it. And then the other way 170 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: is don't do it at all. It shouldn't be done. 171 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: It's immoral. So I am a Southern Baptist seminarian. So yes, 172 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: I am closely tied with the SBC. I go to 173 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: SBC's church. I'm an SBC seminarian. I'm friends. I'm actually 174 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: friends with the two leading advocates against IVF. I'm friends 175 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: with those guys. They're both professors at at Southern. So 176 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: on top of that, we have a beautiful baby boy 177 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: downstairs right now, he's almost three, who is an IVF baby. 178 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: Let me, I need to I need to walk through 179 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: some a couple of things. This will probably take a 180 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: whole podcast if I did. But I understand where you're 181 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: coming from, Tyler, very much. I walked in your shoes. 182 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: And to be honest, I also understand the sentiment of 183 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: the SPC. I think IVF can be it can't be 184 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: a dangerous thing. There are a lot of embryos that 185 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: are that are left over. I think there's hundreds of thousands, 186 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: maybe millions. Don't quote me on that, but there's hundreds 187 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: of thousands of believe embryos that have been left over 188 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: that were conceived but not implanted or transferred, I think 189 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: is the right word. And what do you what do 190 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: we do with this? This is a moral dilemma and 191 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: we can't be irresponsible with this. When we were going 192 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: through this ourselves. If I wrote the book Like a River, 193 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: I had a had a really emotional moment with if 194 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: in a discussion with Lincoln, my son. That's in the 195 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: book Like a River. It's the tree conversation. If you remember, Daddy, 196 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: does God make all the trees and man make some 197 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,599 Speaker 1: of the trees. It was that conversation. So if you 198 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: haven't read Like a River, Tyler, check that out. And 199 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: then Amber and I decided we were convicted that we 200 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: felt like this may be wrong, and so we decided 201 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: that we would implant every single embryo we had, and 202 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: as it turned out, all of them died, including a miscarriage, 203 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: leaving us all the way just down to just one 204 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: last one and it ended up being Maverick. Now that's 205 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: my story, and that doesn't make IVF right just because 206 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: I did it. And it also, even if it is wrong, 207 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't make Maverick wrong because God uses he always 208 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: has used sin and for his own glory, for his 209 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: own good, he's done. There's countless stories about that. So 210 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: it's never the baby's fault. Certainly not Maverick's fault, and 211 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: Mavericks certainly not an accident or but but just because 212 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: Mavericks exists, and he's beautiful, and he's loved, and he's purposed, 213 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: and he's he is in the image of God. Just 214 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: because of all all that. There also co exists another 215 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: idea that maybe Amber and I were wrong in considering IVF. 216 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: You could tell that I have have struggled over the 217 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: years with it, and if we were going to do 218 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: it all over again, I don't think we would do IVF. 219 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: And that's not because all can now because now the 220 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: SBC is voting against it, et cetera, et cetera. It's 221 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: not because of that. I just believe as we've been 222 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: sanctified as Christians more and more, I think it becomes 223 00:12:52,360 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: more problematic. Why because look at the fruit of IVF clinics. Hey, 224 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: we we've getten we get emails from the clinic that 225 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: Maverick was conceived in those aren't they aren't good emails 226 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: that we get? And what they're promoting. What are they 227 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: The emails we get from the clinic where MAV came 228 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: from aren't God honoring emails. They aren't God glorifying emails. 229 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: You give them my drift what they're promoting and what 230 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: they're using IVA for and what they're endorsing because they 231 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: they have IVA of what they're what they're saying that 232 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: they can do. It's not It's not a couple like 233 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: Tyler Sure from Arkansas saying we've struggled and we're we've 234 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: been we go to church and we've been praying and 235 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: we trying to conceive a baby. That's not what these 236 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: clinics are promoting. 237 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 3: So is the should the reform be on no pun intended? 238 00:13:59,480 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 3: I promise. 239 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 5: Is it throwing the baby out with the bathwater to 240 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 5: say no IVF at all? 241 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 3: Or is it saying the way IVF is done right 242 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 3: now is wrong. You said you used all three embryos. 243 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: Well we did, and there was also there were seven 244 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: more that died before we even got a chance to 245 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: use them. I just think in hindsight we look back 246 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: on it and we go, hey, I don't think we 247 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: are quite as sanctified as we are now in this situation. 248 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think we would have done 249 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: it the same. That doesn't make me regret doing it 250 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: or regret Maverick, of course not. But will I now 251 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: stand forward and endorse it and actually go against my 252 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: colleagues in the SBC. I don't think so. I think 253 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: the men and women that have prayed over this and 254 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: studied this for a long time, I don't think they're 255 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: wrong in thinking, Hey, we need to hit the brakes 256 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: on this, We need to think about this because the 257 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: implications of the future. Where's this going? What are the 258 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: fruits of this? And I'll tell you what the fruits are. 259 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: I see, I see the emails, I see their their 260 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: Instagram page and what they're promoting, and it's awful. 261 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 3: Stuff, unbelievable. 262 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 5: That's why you know this this could be well, probably 263 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 5: should be a bunch of longer conversations. It's a longer 264 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 5: conversation with other people, people who have been effected on 265 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 5: both sides of it. 266 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: I hate to give you the answer, Tyler that you 267 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: don't want to hear, but adoption is a beautiful thing. 268 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. 269 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: Adoption is a for sure, beautiful, beautiful thing. And there's 270 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: so many babies that need a home, and you're saying 271 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: how great or how could you say that when you 272 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: you did the opposite. Well, maybe Amber and I need 273 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: to adopt to We'll leave it there.

Next question comes from Glenn. It 366 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: says the Cowboy church I attend and support has for 367 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: a long time had five minute teachings every Sunday morning 368 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: on biblical giving. The teaching about giving is more than 369 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: just about money and includes Biblical teaching of giving one's 370 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: self first, and that the giving of tides and offerings 371 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: is a reflection of giving oneself first. The teaching is 372 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 1: then followed by those to come forward and place their 373 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: offering in a bucket and then prayed over. When I 374 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: started going to this church, it was already an established 375 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: part of the service. I am the person asked by 376 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: the pastor to do this teaching. Nearly everyone does it 377 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: without question or complaint. But there is one individual who 378 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: has personally disagreed with the public display of giving tithes 379 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: and offerings because it might offend or compel someone to 380 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: come forward in order to remain in conspicuous, and they 381 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 1: have made it known to the pastor, but not personally 382 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: to me. My question is, do you see anything wrong 383 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: with giving tides and offerings and a public display of 384 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: coming forward as opposed to passing the offering plate. I'd 385 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: love to hear your answer. Sincerely in Christ, Glenn Tate. Glenn, 386 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: thank you for the question. It's an interesting one. Do 387 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: I see anything wrong? Let me see? How about how 388 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: about Matthew six's three four? But when you give, do 389 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: not let your left hand know what your right hand 390 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: is doing, so that your giving may be in secret 391 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: and your father, who sees you in secret, will reward you. 392 00:21:53,920 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: There's that. Yeah, I'd be cautious about this. I'd be 393 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: cautious really in the tone of this, because because we're 394 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: kind of we're kind of thinking that this person, this 395 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: one person is crazy and they're actually this one person 396 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: is actually biblical? 397 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 3: Is the one biblical? 398 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like and we're kind of looking at 399 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: this one. 400 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 3: Look. 401 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with people wanting 402 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: to get up and give in public. That people are 403 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: just gonna do that. But I think what's wrong is 404 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: saying that this is the way we do it, and 405 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: if you disagree with it, you're strange. That's kind of 406 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: what this email sounds like. 407 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, is that what you feel? 408 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, it is is the hope that because I see 409 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 5: someone else, is this what they're thinking. If the rest 410 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 5: of the congregation sees this many people giving, they'll be 411 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 5: encouraged to. 412 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: Give to I think that's what they're thinking. 413 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 4: You know. 414 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: Marshall said something when he was on here earlier that 415 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: I loved a couple of weeks ago, said that him 416 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: and the elders of the church they don't even know 417 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 1: who gives. They don't look and they're not allowed to 418 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: see the names. Because you have the danger as a 419 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: pastor of it creating favoritism. It does, for sure, even 420 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: if you're as solid as a rock. It's really hard 421 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: not to think, but this person gives the most of 422 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: the congregation, it's really hard not to give them extra 423 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: favor or to do what they are suggesting. It's very difficult. 424 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: So to protect yourself against that you don't know. And 425 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: when you have a public display like that, everyone's getting up, 426 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: you know, you know the pastor sees it, everyone sees it. 427 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, I would speak against this. I know cowboy 428 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: churches do stuff like this. I know that even passing 429 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: the offering plate is starting to become less and less 430 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 1: at a mais, we don't do it. We're not as 431 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: old school and so we don't do it at all. 432 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: It's only online. 433 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 5: How about that see, we do both, but it's also 434 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 5: kind of become tailored, like they'll they'll come up to 435 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 5: the edge of your row and just kind of look 436 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 5: conceive if anybody because you know, people will hold it 437 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 5: up or whatever, and then they'll pass the plate down. 438 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 3: But it doesn't just automatically go by you. 439 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're it used to and there's nothing wrong with that. 440 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: Every church I've ever known has done that. And and 441 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: may as we have a box in the back, so 442 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: if like here, you don't do online banking or whatever, 443 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: then you could put you could put it. 444 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,719 Speaker 3: In you want to throw a twenty in. 445 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: But I think for that person that throws a twenty 446 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: in the box without anyone seeing, it's blessed. 447 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, agreed, I mean it's biblical agreed. 448 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, back to. 449 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 5: Your point that you're saying that Marshall said is that 450 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 5: I've seen it in action before. Of they'll carefully consider 451 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 5: what someone who has who said something or asked to 452 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 5: do something, they'll think of them and consider it differently 453 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 5: because they know, man, if we don't do that and 454 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 5: they get mad, that's a big chunk of money that 455 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 5: leaves our church. 456 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 3: That's their thought process. I've seen it happen inactionable. 457 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, so dangerous man. 458 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 3: Good. 459 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: Next question comes from Jaden Hey Grangeer. First, I want 460 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: to thank you for the virtual meet and greet back 461 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: in April twenty twenty A while anyway, My question is 462 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: do I let my girlfriend know that I want to 463 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: propose without actually telling her? Or do I just not 464 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 1: tell her and just do it? That's a very simple question. 465 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 3: How would you like to be proposed to? Sweetheart? 466 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: That Jay not two parts of that question one one 467 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: part says, hey, man, you know you got to make 468 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: sure that she actually is agreeing that she wants to 469 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: get married to. 470 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 3: You know, that's a good conversation. 471 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a conversation where you just say you 472 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: tell her in some kind of form. Surely you have, Hey, 473 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: I one of these days I want to get married 474 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: and I love you, and you're you're exactly the kind 475 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: of girl I want to marry. So you're kind of 476 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: building it up without saying will you marry me? And 477 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 1: you wait for her reaction because if she says, oh, 478 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: I didn't know where going this fast, then there's a problem. 479 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: And if she goes me too, you're the kind of 480 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: guy that I would love to marry and then and 481 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: then you kind of move on, but you just store 482 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: that away that Okay, this is good, this is good. 483 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: You're planning seeds, and you have the conversations about children 484 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: and about her faith and things like that, things that 485 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: are unreconcilable once you are married. If she's you get 486 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: married and you're you're expecting four kids and she wants none, 487 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: that's a question in a conversation you probably should have 488 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: had before you're even engaged. If you have a strong 489 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: faith and she doesn't at all, it's a conversation you 490 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: probably should have had or vice versa before you even 491 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: get engaged. If all that's taken care of, then you 492 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: go to the second part of my answer.

Cool. I going 556 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: to go back to the question here, back to the 557 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: email podcast at grangersmith dot com if you want to 558 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: hit me up, and the question from Cody says, Hi, 559 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: granger recently met a guy who is so bright and 560 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: caring and giving. We met riding motorcycles and have rode 561 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: together other almost every day since. He caught feelings for me, 562 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: and it wasn't It was already breaking my heart to 563 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: tell him that I don't like him too, But now 564 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: everything is caving in on him, and I don't know 565 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: how to love him without hurting him more by giving 566 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: him hope of a relationship. His family is Messy's sister 567 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: in prison, to autistic brothers, threatening grandpa, irresponsible parents, an 568 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: uncle who died in a motorcycle crash right after we met, 569 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: an injured aunt from the same crash, and an uncle 570 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: who raped his knees. He's twenty five and taking custody 571 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: of his knees to protect her. And he has already 572 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: held custody of his nephew since he was eighteen. He 573 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: beat thyroid cancer two years ago, and he's coming back 574 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: right now, just as strong. He's in pain. He's depressed. 575 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: He's selling all of his bikes that we have been 576 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: and which have been his only outlet and escape from 577 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: everything he's got going on. He's acting like he's giving up. 578 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: He met me three weeks ago and he wants to 579 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 1: give his He wants to give me his favorite bike, 580 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: and I can't even like him back. Three of his 581 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: biker friends crashed this week alone, and he is there 582 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: for every single one of them. Though he is suffering, 583 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: he is trying to go to church and have faith, 584 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: even though he hasn't for a few years. I know 585 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: sin is why there is suffering, but God didn't cause it. 586 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: But he can't stop it. God, Why are there people 587 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: like me who have such an easy life when he 588 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: is going through hell every day. I am undeserving and bitter, 589 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: but get to be healthy and okay when he is 590 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: loving and in so much pain? How is that fair. Okay, 591 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: what an email Cody? Okay, indeed, that's deep. There's two 592 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: different answers that come right to my mind right away. One, 593 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: you're not responsible for this guy. You've known him for 594 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: three weeks. You're not responsible for his happiness. There's nothing 595 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: you could do to make him happy, and there's no 596 00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: decision you could make, there's no agreeent that you can 597 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: make to make him You're not responsible for his happiness. 598 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: I'm not responsible for Amber's happiness. You're not responsible for 599 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: Ashley's happiness. Ant man that this is a misconception that 600 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: we as humans are responsible for other people's happiness, and 601 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: you are saying that about this guy that you just 602 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: met three weeks ago, who's got his life is falling apart. 603 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean you can't love him and encourage him 604 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: and be there for him and be a friend and 605 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: listen to him and share time with him. It doesn't 606 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: mean all that. It just means that you can't be 607 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: responsible for his happiness, especially if you don't like him 608 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: in a romantic way, so that you might violate that 609 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: just to make him happy. That's wrong. That's the first 610 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: part of my answer. My second part says, I want 611 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: you know where I want to go. I want to 612 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: go to this part that says, I know that there 613 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: is I know that sin is why he's suffering, and 614 00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: God didn't cause it, but can't he stop it? And 615 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: then my mind goes, Okay, Isaiah forty five might disagree 616 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: with you, Cody. It says Isaiah forty five six and 617 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: seven says, I am the Lord, and there is no other. 618 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: I form light and create darkness. I make well being 619 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: and create calamity. I am the Lord who does all 620 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:25,959 Speaker 1: these things. That is much different than a God who 621 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: says I didn't cause it and I don't know if 622 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: I could stop it. In fact, that's not a God at. 623 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 3: All, not a very big one anyway. 624 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: That's just that's an idle god, lowercase gees that we 625 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: have created for our own comfort, so that so that 626 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: we could be comfortable in our little lives, knowing that 627 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: we are stuck in our lives. And it's definitely not fair. 628 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: It's not my fault and it's not fair. That's what 629 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: we want to say all the time. Yeah, And to 630 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: that is always the Gospel is always the Cross of 631 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: Christ glaring back at this unfairness that says all of 632 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 1: us are sinned. None of us are good, No, not one. 633 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: All of us have rejected God and the world that 634 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: was made that was good. In our rebellion, in our sin, 635 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: he made a way to reconcile us, to forgive us 636 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: of our sins. And it's not by anything we could do. Instead, 637 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 1: it's with his son that he sent to die for us, 638 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: to be the substitute to take, to be the replacement 639 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: for the punishment that we deserved. Christ takes that on himself, 640 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,879 Speaker 1: in his body on the cross and says, whoever looks 641 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: at me and believes in this final sacrifice, this ultimate sacrifice, 642 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: you will be forgiven, not in anything you've done, but 643 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: what have I done. That's where fairness comes from. That's 644 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: where the judgment is satisfied. And then you go, how 645 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,320 Speaker 1: is that fair? Is Christ dying on the cross? Is 646 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: the man, the God Man, the perfect one, scent, sinless, 647 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: without without flaw, without fault, that lives the perfect life, 648 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: and he goes and we murder him? Is that fair? 649 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: That's where That's where, That's where this all gets mixed 650 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: up here. So Cody, I think that's all I have 651 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: to say. Where do you got to end? 652 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 5: Got a few more comments from uh from the life. 653 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 5: Love doing this and love seeing your comments in the 654 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,240 Speaker 5: moment too, and love those.

And 683 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,280 Speaker 1: so I would go to a good, solid Bible teaching church. 684 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: That's where you're gonna find godly men. And that's when 685 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna throw a godly lure. And that is with 686 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: a godly woman. 687 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 3: I was gonna say, the only thing only difference is 688 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 3: you're the lure. But you have to be real and 689 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 3: he can't be fake. 690 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you gotta be a live meno exactly. 691 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 3: So does that help you at all? 692 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 5: If equated dating fishing, that's what you get on there. 693 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: It's either dating to fishing, or it's either fishing or 694 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,399 Speaker 1: football or the two analogies I go to all the time. 695 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 3: That time you want to do one more email. 696 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: Yep, I only have two lefts.

Women as pastors. 698 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 1: Wow here, man, we're just hitting them all, aren't we. 699 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: You did this to me, man, you did get over 700 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: there laughing. Women as pastors seem to be a controversy 701 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 1: with churches. I don't understand why. Is the Bible is 702 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: very clear. I do not attend I do not attend 703 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:57,360 Speaker 1: my church because of this comments. Thank you and blessings, Kristin. Hey, Kristin, 704 00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I believe the Bible is is 705 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: very clear that the the biblical eldership leadership in a 706 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: church is for men. I am a complementarian, meaning that 707 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: when men and women have very both of us, very 708 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: important and very distinct roles that we need to carry 709 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: out in the church, and when when those distinct roles 710 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:32,439 Speaker 1: are blurred, trouble begins in the church. I think we 711 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: see this. I think there's no doubt that we see 712 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:41,760 Speaker 1: the the result of either way. I'm not an egalitarian, 713 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,879 Speaker 1: meaning men and women are equal in every way and 714 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: and and that's not my opinion, Like we have to 715 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: get that clear too. That's that's not just what my 716 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: heart says or my gut says, or what you know 717 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: what I want to be. That's just what the Bible says, 718 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 1: and so believe it. And then I see the from 719 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: it acted out correctly, and I go, oh wow, that's 720 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 1: women are so much better when they're following the Biblical standard. 721 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 1: Men are so much better when they're following the Biblical standard. 722 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: Kids are so much better when they're following the Biblical standard. 723 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,839 Speaker 1: And it's the marriages are so much better when they're 724 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: following the Biblical standard. Grief is so much more hopeful 725 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 1: when following the Biblical standard. I could just go on 726 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,959 Speaker 1: and on and on, but all the attributes and characteristics 727 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 1: and identities of people and our feelings and our emotions 728 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 1: are just better when carried out according to the Biblical standard. 729 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,719 Speaker 1: And so I don't want to break apart from that 730 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 1: because it hurts if we do it, it doesn't work right, 731 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,240 Speaker 1: and it creates struggle and strife, and so yes, so Christen. 732 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: The one thing I want to say in your email 733 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 1: that I don't like about your email is that you 734 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 1: said I do not attend my church because of this. 735 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: I would say, then it's not your church, find you one. 736 00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 1: There's so many in fact, in order, my buddy, Caleb 737 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: Brasher has a great church there called the Grove, and 738 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: please please, I'm gonna look it up right now.
