1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm Granger, I am the Aman, I'm Tyler, I'm Parker.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 2: This is the ninety nine for one podcast. Thank you

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 2: all for being here. We get together on Tuesdays or

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 2: record these things, and we don't always know what we're

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: going to talk about before we get into it. Last

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: week we're talking about war. I'm laughing because we said

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: that discussion. I saw last week's video that we recorded

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 2: and talked about war, and you're like, so we're in

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: World War three? In my face, I looked at Jego. Oh,

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, we're such brothers. We are. We have

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: three brothers by the way, and then ant Man's brothers, and.

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 3: But you are starting to look at me like that.

13
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 3: I want to say things so I should feel accepted.

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: Right. Do you have the comment somebody said about Tyler

15
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: last week? They said, I want it, that's great. Where

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: was it said? I want to live I want to

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: live under the rock that Tyler lives under. Being so

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: far removed to not hear about war. That sounds so peaceful.

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: Where's this rock located?

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 4: It kind of goes into what I guess we're talking

21
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 4: about today, which is what you fill your mind with, what.

22
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: You consume right, It's exactly right. I just I consume

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: if we could all live under the rock Tyler's living,

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: the peaceful rock that Tyler's living under, we could we

25
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: would do better to deal with passages like Romans twelve

26
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: to two. This is so important and I think we should.

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: This is a good idea to dive into this today,

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: because I think it's not often talked about in the

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: modern Christian life, and we've I'm not I'm not talking

30
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: about the specific verse. I'm talking about the implications of it.

31
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: The verse Romans twelfth two says, do not be conformed

32
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of

33
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: your mind. And it goes on to say that by

34
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: testing you made discern what is the world of God,

35
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: what is good and acceptable and perfect. And Paul starts

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: that chapter by saying, I appeal to you, therefore, brothers,

37
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 2: by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as

38
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is

39
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: your spiritual worship. What does holy mean? We should think

40
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 2: about that for a second, because that's a word that's

41
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: been lost and in modern culture.

42
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a word that came up when we started

43
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: talking about cussing, because it's been it's been hijacked for sure.

44
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been hijacked. That and the word saint kind

45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: of which, interestingly enough, in the Latin those are those

46
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: are those are similar words santos sanctos, you know, thinking

47
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: thinking about Spanish holy sanctified is in that same category.

48
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: But these we are to be set apart because God

49
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: is set apart. So God is set apart from us,

50
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: and we should be set apart from the world when

51
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 2: we are, when we when we receive the gift of

52
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit, when we are reborn, when we are

53
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: born again, when we become Christians. It's like the guy

54
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: Mikey from Louisiana that always hangs out with this last week.

55
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: He never says Christian. He says when I became a

56
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: born again Christian, When I became a born again Christian.

57
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: He never says, since it's been as Christian or just

58
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: Christian's when I became a born again Christian.

59
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: I was listening to Travis the other day and he said,

60
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: that's why he says he doesn't say when did you

61
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: become a Christian? Just because of in our cultural context

62
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: that that that word has lost its weight entirely. If

63
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: you if you ask someone in Nigeria right now, or

64
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: like in another country where that's persecuted, that would be

65
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: a big deal. When did you become a Christian?

66
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: Brother? Yeah?

67
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: But here it means nothing. And so that's Travis that

68
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: he ask people when did you decide to start following

69
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: the Lord? And it's like, ah, that is is has

70
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: a little more weight because it implies, it implies something active.

71
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: And I would one up. I would one up that

72
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: by saying the deeper. The deeper idea is when did

73
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: the Lord save you? Because deciding to follow the Lord,

74
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: which is totally accurate, is something that people can manipulate

75
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: in their own mind. I decided when I was seven,

76
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: or I decided when I was four years old, And

77
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: because then I would say, what else did you decide

78
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 2: as a four year old?

79
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: If I was going to be a firefighter? You know

80
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: that was going to be a cop, and it.

81
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: Was like the app between apple juice and peanut butter

82
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: or you know. So anyway that the idea of when

83
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: did the Lord save you? It goes it cuts a

84
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: little deeper.

85
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: Well, that's going to be really controversial though, because then

86
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: you're implying that there's no personal responsibility in salvation. You

87
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: don't take it. No one makes a choice.

88
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: There's absolute responsibility. Of course, we we believe that there's responsibility.

89
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: This is good, this this podcast already going. We have

90
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: decided earlier we're just going to record you know this,

91
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: like we should just do it because we do this

92
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: all the time, Kate.

93
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: And if you can get two or three out of this,

94
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: one would be good.

95
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: Okay. We always we have we maintain the responsibility to

96
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: respond to the Lord. And that's why we pray that

97
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: someone that if you have an unbelieving friend, you pray

98
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: for them that the Lord saves them. Oh God, please

99
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: save Mike. You know he's lost, he's he's an atheist,

100
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: and what Lord would you save Mike? And so that's

101
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 2: so then it's Mike's responsibility to respond to that to

102
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 2: the call. But but that's why I say, if we

103
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 2: start the question with when did the Lord save you,

104
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: it's a direct it's coming directly from the idea that

105
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: we pray for people to be saved, that the Lord

106
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: would do it.

107
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: Because Jesus's own words said, no one can come to

108
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: me unless the Father draws them. So we pray that

109
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: the Father would draw them to Jesus.

110
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: Lord, please draw Mike to yourself. Open his eyes like

111
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: the blind man that said, I don't know who he is.

112
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: All I know is I was blind and now I

113
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 2: see And he did it. He's the one that did it.

114
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: So anyway, to the topic of Christian living and to

115
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: the topic of what do we do? What do we

116
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: do when we are when the Lord has opened our eyes?

117
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: When we did, when we did decide to follow Jesus,

118
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: when we when we were blind, and now we see?

119
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 2: What do we do now? We look at John fourteen? Right?

120
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: What what are his commandments? Yeah? What does he want?

121
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: Who is he? Who is this God? Yeah? That's right. Yeah,

122
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: if anyone would come after me, let him deny himself.

123
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: Or if anyone loves me, he'll keep my word. Or

124
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: right here in Romans twelve, do not be conformed to

125
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.

126
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: So what does it mean to be conformed to the world?

127
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: And how do we not? How do we not do that?

128
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: It's it's it's easier now, I think to say that

129
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: than it was in the Middle Ages or in the

130
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: Dark Ages, when there there wasn't a lot of conforming

131
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: going on to the to the farmer in the in

132
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: in France, in the Middle Ages. You know, he just

133
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: wakes up every day, he's got his plow and he

134
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: goes back out there. The world is was not that

135
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: close to him as it is to us.

136
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: If you're not I'm struggling a little bit with this.

137
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: If how to how to say this? But if if

138
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: you're not already conformed to the world, there's no need

139
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 3: to be transformed. So it kind of tells me that

140
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 3: you are conformed. But no, law, don't continue to go

141
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 3: down the path of being conformed.

142
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: Say that one more time for my brain.

143
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 3: There would be no need to be transformed. If you

144
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: weren't already conformed. Yeah, I'm gonna say these so many

145
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: times they're gonna lose their meeting. Yeah, yeah, you ever

146
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: do that? You say words so many times, you're like,

147
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 3: I forgot what I was saying. Now, So if it

148
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: which I think this to me this and tell me

149
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 3: if this is wrong. But there's like almost like a

150
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 3: missing word, don't continue to be conformed to this world?

151
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: Like the way Paul is phrasing and is implying that

152
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: they are conformed. Yea, they should be transformed. Yes, I

153
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: could see that.

154
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 2: We we are always being conformed to something.

155
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.

156
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, there's there's a book called You Are What

157
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: You Love. I remember reading. It's a pretty recent book.

158
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: But is that our book today? Do you have one

159
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 2: that's coming later? Okay, that's coming later. But you you

160
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 2: are what you love? Meaning show show me what you're doing,

161
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you what you love. Yeah, because your calendar. Yeah,

162
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: show me what you're watching, and I'll tell you what

163
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: you're interested in. Show me what podcast you're listening to,

164
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you where your where your heart is,

165
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: show me your friends, and I'll show you a mirror

166
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: to yourself. So all of those things I said, or

167
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: none of those things are bad. But but it's your choice. Now,

168
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: who who do you want to conform you? What do

169
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: you want to conform you? Paul saying, don't let it

170
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: be the world. That's what he's that's what he's saying.

171
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: So to your original question, what does it look like

172
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: if you are conformed to this world? I guess what

173
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: would be some character sticks of the world? And then

174
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: what would be the characteristics of somebody who's set apart

175
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: from that.

176
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, So this world is, Paul says, transient, temporal, fleeting,

177
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: fading away. It's it's changing in the term, in the

178
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: in the way to think about social culture. Trends are

179
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: always changing, styles are always changing, and so to be

180
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: conformed to something that's always changing means you also are

181
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: You're you're just tossing in the wind. So if you

182
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: are watching the latest trends on Netflix constantly, you will

183
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: start to reflect the latest trends on Netflix. If you're

184
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 2: listening to pop forty, country, top forty, whatever it might be,

185
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: and that's that's what you listen to always, you will

186
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: start to speak that language. Will you will start to

187
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: look like that. And if you're a concert goer all

188
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: the time, you could go to lots of concerts. I'm

189
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: saying things that are dear to me because because of

190
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: my living it so long. You go to concerts long enough,

191
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: you're gonna start looking like the band.

192
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: Just seeing people dress like you, dressed like the band,

193
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 3: does they come to the shows?

194
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it worked for me too. People would start

195
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: to dress like us if they came to enough concerts,

196
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: they would start to dress like us. But we were

197
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: already dressing like them. Oh funny, we were already dressing

198
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: like each other. It's always funny. When we would hire

199
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: a new crew guy or a band member, they would

200
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: always come in looking different because they came from whatever

201
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: camp they come from. You know, they had their own style.

202
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: But of what that's long enough on a tour bus

203
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: and you start they start wearing the same, They start

204
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: getting tee shirts from Tyler, and they start, you know,

205
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: wearing boots that are soda.

206
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 4: And then when they leave like Nards with practice and

207
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 4: Keith now and like he fits in with them.

208
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: He goes starts to conform back to that. So my

209
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: point is conforming is not always bad, but you will

210
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 2: be conformed. No one is immune from being conformed. So you,

211
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 2: whatever you love, you will be conformed to Christ is

212
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: saying be conformed to me, be conformed in my image,

213
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: which is.

214
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 4: And possible. We strive for that. But my point is,

215
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 4: and it's kind of a question, is like all of

216
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 4: us born again believers fong the Lord. Everybody is conformed

217
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 4: to some degree to this world? Am I wrong?

218
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: And right?

219
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 4: Even the strongest believer, you know, it's conformed in some

220
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 4: way to the world, but because I live in it.

221
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: God's will for your life is sanctification, right, the Bible says,

222
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: and so, And the Bible also says, for sean, one

223
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: day you'll be like him, so when.

224
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: You see, we won't until we're with him.

225
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: When you're glorified, you'll be like him. So, but that

226
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: there's a slope upward in your life to get to

227
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: that point.

228
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 4: And the I'm closer to Christ today than I was

229
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 4: three years ago.

230
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see that in you, which is an argument

231
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: for the local church. The local church comes along side you,

232
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 2: lives with you. You start to doubt yourself, the local church,

233
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 2: your brothers and sisters said, no, I've seen you the

234
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: last three days more like Christ than you overwere three

235
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: years ago. Still impossibly far away, if that makes sense,

236
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: which is a good mentality to think. You should we

237
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: should always think we have impossible amount to go. And

238
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 2: God says, yes, it is in possis, but nothing is

239
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 2: impossible with God. For you, it's impossible, but not for me.

240
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: But sanctification comes in in waves. Sometimes the Lord sanctifies steep.

241
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's a it's a slow sandpaper, And sometimes you've

242
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: got to shovel just digging into you. And that happens

243
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: through seasons of life. It happens in all different ways.

244
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: But we're talking a lot of this conversation here is

245
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: the is the sandpaper Because God takes a shovel to you,

246
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: an excavator to you through deep suffering.

247
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 4: Do you think that you got an excavator to you?

248
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

249
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 4: In your personal situation, yeah, have you have? I have

250
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 4: I had an excavator?

251
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: Have you felt the excavator? I don't know.

252
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 4: I'm just trying to think in all of our situations,

253
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 4: if it's more sandpaper with you with a deep loss,

254
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 4: sandpaper is always going and then quitting music that was

255
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 4: pretty extreme.

256
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: Sandpaper is always going, right, And I think everyone will

257
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: will meet the shovel one day for sure. So I'm

258
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: not saying that I'm any different than any other Christian.

259
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: Everyone's going to meet the excavator one day, but the

260
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: sandpapers always going. So take the word humble. We see

261
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: the word humble throughout the Bible, right, So we see

262
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: in the Bible the Lord will humble you, The Lord

263
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: will humble you, and we know this, that is just

264
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: something that's going to happen, Like sanctification God will humble

265
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: you on this earth. But the Bible also says, humble yourselves.

266
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: Peter says, humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,

267
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: so that the proper time He may exalt you, cast

268
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: all your anxieties on him because he cares for you.

269
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: So there's this idea that God will humble you and

270
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: humble yourself.

271
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 4: I wonder if you had to more than normal people

272
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 4: humble yourself. Like I'm thinking about your truck in that

273
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 4: instance in your new book. I'm wondering if the Lord

274
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 4: obviously humbles all of it, But I wonder if you

275
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 4: humbled yourself more because your platform was you were in

276
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 4: the spot, you're, you know, the singer that you know,

277
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 4: living doing a job that nobody else, the one percent,

278
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 4: gets to do. I mean, I'm the most humble. I

279
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 4: wonder if you took that. I wonder if you took

280
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 4: that and you're like, man, I gotta humble myself. I

281
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 4: can't have this sweet ninety thousand dollars truck. I need

282
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 4: to go get a twelve thousand dollars demax, Like to

283
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 4: humble yourself, yeah, the Lord, Yeah, because everybody's different, Like

284
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 4: I don't feel the need in that regard to like

285
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 4: like Parker traded his truck into though and got dad's.

286
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: You're right, though everyone left with us. Everybody's different.

287
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: I did that because I didn't have any money.

288
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: I need to sell it. Yeah, but that's still that's

289
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: that's the way that God humbles you, you through no money,

290
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: and then you humble yourselves when you do have money

291
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 2: and you say, I don't need this. Could I buy it? Yeah?

292
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: I could buy it. Do I need it? No, I

293
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 2: don't need it, So I'm not going to. I still

294
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: think that word humbled is one of the most misused

295
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: words in the English vernacular. When people stand at a

296
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: podium with an award and they go, oh, first place,

297
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 2: I am so humbled up here, Like wait, what no

298
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 2: humbled is when you no one even acknowledged you and

299
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 2: didn't even nominate you for the thing that you're going

300
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 2: to get.

301
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, to be humbled is to be brought low, to

302
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: recognize your dependence on something other than yourself.

303
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: That's right. So so to this thing about conforming, so

304
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: Tyler there, we're always everyone's different at different levels of it.

305
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: But but at some at some point, we have to

306
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: take into account everything that's everything that's in our sphere

307
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: around us, whether it's what we're listening to, what we're watching,

308
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: who we're hanging out with, where are we gathering, where,

309
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: where's our where are we gathering to worship on Sundays.

310
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 2: It's take into account every single thing in our lives

311
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 2: because it's all a liturgy. Well, the world is a liturgy.

312
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 2: So when we build our church service, for instance, the

313
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 2: liturgy is the order of the service and all the

314
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: things in it, and we order it in a specific way,

315
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 2: and the world orders it in a specific way. Back

316
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: to this book, I don't even mean to talk about this,

317
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,719
Speaker 2: but I forgot the guy's name Smith something. His name

318
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: is last name Smith. You are what you love. But

319
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 2: he talks about how a shopping mall when he wrote

320
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 2: it in the time, malls were huge. Malls are like

321
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 2: cathedrals with the peak ceiling, the high ceilings and the

322
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: you know, the way that you walk in through the

323
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: entrance and you and then it expand and it gets

324
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: big and there's music playing. You can hear the echo

325
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 2: and then you could see the lights and the colors

326
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 2: and the you know, the food court, and the world

327
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: orients itself as as a liturgy. That's speaking into your life,

328
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 2: that's conforming you, that's softening certain parts of you and

329
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: hardening certain parts of you. This is the same thing

330
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 2: the Word of God does. And so Paul saying, your

331
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: choice conform the world transformed by the renewal of your mind.

332
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 2: And back to the making the decision versus God saves.

333
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: These are two parallel lines that only intersect in heaven.

334
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: God's will for your life and man's responsibility to respond

335
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: to that will. Those two things. There's a tension that

336
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: it exists between those two things, and they that they

337
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 2: both run parallel, and they're both in necessity seen most

338
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 2: prominently at the cross. There's two things that we must believe.

339
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: One Christ went to the cross to die for sinners,

340
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: and God predestined that before time as the plan to

341
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 2: redeem a people. God did it. Then on the other side,

342
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: man and his sin murdered the Christ, rejected him, they

343
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 2: like they did the prophets, and hung him on that cross,

344
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 2: sending nails through his hands and feet, sending a spirit

345
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: through his side. They murdered him, the guilty murdered the

346
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: innocent man. Both of those truths coexist at the same time.

347
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: So God says, my will for you is to be sanctified,

348
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 2: So be sanctified. My will for you to is you

349
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 2: to be humbled, humble yourselves.

350
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: It literally says it in our text, be transformed. Yeah,

351
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: and so it's like be transformed, like take action and

352
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: then like to be transformed. It is like implying that

353
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: it's like being done to you right by the renewal

354
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: of your mind. It's kind of interesting. Yeah, how do

355
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: you renew your mind? Yeah, that's interesting, Uh, renew, Like

356
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: it's too renew your mind. I'd have to think, like

357
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: what does that word renew mean? Is that like similar

358
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: to redeem, like to set it back to its original purpose?

359
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: To make new again?

360
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, to make new again almost like our minds are

361
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: corrupted and sick, and they there's like a sense in

362
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: which they need to go back to their original purpose.

363
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: And so I think that the answer would have to

364
00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: be through reading and thinking about God's word revealed in scripture.

365
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: So I know there's a lot there's a verse coming

366
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: to mind.

367
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 2: If you're gonna be well, all I'm gonna do is

368
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: just take us to the next verse in Romans twelve.

369
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: So the next verse. Listen now, because if the Bible

370
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 2: must always be read in context anyway, which is why

371
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 2: we would we would discourage taking verses and taking them

372
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: out of the context of the of the Bible itself

373
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: and putting it on a wooden sign and putting putting

374
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 2: it in your kitchen. Nothing wrong with doing that, but

375
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: living your life for that verse out of the context

376
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 2: of the verses around it becomes dangerous. For an instance,

377
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: we could start to think that, how do you conform

378
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: your mind? What's all on you? Whence we read the canon,

379
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: we know that what's never on you. Are you responsible? Yes,

380
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: but you do it by the power of the Holy Spirit.

381
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 2: Always there's always an indication. So Romans twelve three, as

382
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 2: he goes on for by the grace given to me,

383
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 2: I say to everyone among you think, do not think

384
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 2: of himself more highly than he ought to think, but

385
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure

386
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: of faith that God has assigned. So you see the tension.

387
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 2: It's throughout the entire Bible. But there it is again. Hey,

388
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: don't think of yourself more high than you should think

389
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: about yourself, but think with sober judgment according to the

390
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: faith that God gave you. To think with right.

391
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. It reminds me of Philippians where

392
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: he says, so fear God, for it is he who

393
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: works in you both to will and work for his

394
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: good pleasure. Yeah. So it's like, do this because he's

395
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: the word working in you, both, working your desires and

396
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: your actions for his glory.

397
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 2: I'm so glad we started this whole conversation with the

398
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: Lord saving making a decision thing because those two things

399
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 2: must exist, you know, and that tension is it seems

400
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 2: to be what we're talking about today that the the

401
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 2: wrong teaching is to stick with only one of those

402
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: two things. The wrong teaching is do it. It's all

403
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 2: up to you, So do it. Stop sinning, it's all

404
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 2: up to you. That's wrong teaching. The other wrong teaching.

405
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: God does it. God will fix you. Christ died for sins.

406
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: You have no responsibility.

407
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: Christ out of the cross. It's grace man, you have forgiven.

408
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: All your sins are forgiven. So essentially, don't worry about it.

409
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 2: I mean, God's gonna fix you. God's going to patch

410
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 2: up all your Like churches use the term wounds and scars.

411
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: I don't like those terms because they hide the deeper

412
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: term of sin, but both of the things exist at

413
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: the same time. Yes, do it stop sinning. Jesus says,

414
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 2: sin no more, Sin no more. And then the flip

415
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 2: side is it's always by grace that you're inn to

416
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 2: stop sinning Romans eight thirteen. So that that tension is

417
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: important and for the for the For this particular podcast,

418
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 2: we're talking about the responsibility of man two don't be

419
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: conformed to the world. So it goes back to practical measures.

420
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting to think about. Sorry you finishing thought,

421
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: but uh, it reminded me of h first John two.

422
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: Or it kind of explains what this world is. For

423
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: all that is in the world, the desires of the

424
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: flesh and the desires of the eyes, and the pride

425
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: of life is not from the Father, but is from

426
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: this world. So if you kind of break down those

427
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: three things so that we could think about what is

428
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: the world? What is the thing that we're supposed to avoid.

429
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: You think about desires of the flesh, the desires of

430
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: the eyes, and the pride of life, do you think like, okay,

431
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: the desires of the flesh would be like those innate

432
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: desires of passion within us that are sinful, whether that

433
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: be like lust or adultery or greed. You have the

434
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: desires of the eyes and like craving like what you see,

435
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: of like coveting or envying what another man has. And

436
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: then the pride of life is like that pride that's

437
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: within us, of like the hardening of heart, of like

438
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: desiring to be feared by men, that status, that desire

439
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: for notoriety. That's like all everything that the world teaches

440
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: you that you should seek after, is like do whatever

441
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,719
Speaker 1: makes you happy. Your purpose of your life is to

442
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: have as many pleasurable experiences as possible, regardless of what happens.

443
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: Just follow your.

444
00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: Heart, destroy your competition, be the best. Girls want you

445
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: and guys want to be you. That's your goal in life.

446
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: And then be grow a company or a career so

447
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: big that that people wish they could be you. And

448
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: so you have as much influence as possible, and it

449
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: all revolves around you. You're the main character at your story.

450
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: And what I used to pray and still do occasionally,

451
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 2: but I used to pray every day for EE Apparel.

452
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 2: The same prayer that I actually prayed for this very

453
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: podcast this morning, was Lord, would you grow this company

454
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: if it's for your glory, And if it's not, will

455
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: you destroy it? What brings you glory? Lord? Does this

456
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: podcast bring you glory? Then? Lord, will you magnify that

457
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 2: you didn't.

458
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 4: Come talk to me about that? My pride in my

459
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 4: ego to be a part of that too. You know, Lord,

460
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 4: if ye and a hail ship ain't going down, because

461
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 4: I got everything to do with it.

462
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: When when it was, everything was changing for us and

463
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: our company and with the Brothers. I remember one time

464
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 2: we played a show on the last on the Farewell tour.

465
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 2: It was absolutely pouring down rain. I don't remember where

466
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: it was. I feel like it was in Pennsylvania. It

467
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 2: was pouring down rain and the the the it was

468
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: already a sold out outdoor festival, so the people were

469
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 2: pouring out to go to their cars. But there was

470
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: also a group of people that were excited because now

471
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: they got to go to the concert because they were

472
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: left out of the gate. So there it was simultaneously

473
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 2: people were pouring out and another group was pouring in,

474
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: and Dusty and I were looking out of the window

475
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: this whole thing and filming. It was hilarious looking. But

476
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 2: there was a time when our company was like that,

477
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: when my social media was like that, like, it's still

478
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 2: my social media I think is the same number since

479
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: when I left touring, because so many people have left

480
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: me and a new group has come in. And so

481
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 2: I would pray, Lord, if ye apparel is something that

482
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: reflects your glory or our shows Christ to the world, Lord,

483
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:31,719
Speaker 2: will you will you exalt that company and and and

484
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: grow it? But if it's not, destroy it, kill it, Lord,

485
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 2: wipe it off the face of the earth. And I said,

486
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: I said the same prayer for this very podcast this

487
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 2: morning nine nine for one podcast. It's it's still new.

488
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: What episode is this ten? Yeah? Or episode ten? God,

489
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: if this is if this is something, if this is

490
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 2: if this would be a platform that shows people Jesus

491
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: and magnifies his glo or will you grow it while

492
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: keeping us humble with it? But if it's not, will

493
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 2: it just go away forever? You just bury it? And

494
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: after you say a prayer like that, you go back

495
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 2: to work. You go back and work your butt all right,

496
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: with a ton of peace. But with a ton of peace.

497
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah that's good.

498
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's uh. As long as you can

499
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: pray that earnestly. I think it's not that I have

500
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: it all together by any means or that we do.

501
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: But if you can pray that, if you're listening, and

502
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: you can pray that earnestly about really anything that's temporal

503
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: in this world, if you can hold it. Remember Chad

504
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: Warren one time he was like, it's the difference between

505
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: holding something with a closed fist and an open hand

506
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: that God's given you. And so he like, put a

507
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: knife in my hand. We're eating lunch, and he gave

508
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: me like a butter knife or whatever. He said, hold

509
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: out your fist facing down and clenched. That would be

510
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: something that got the Lord's given you, that you're you've

511
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: clung onto too tightly. And then he said, not open

512
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: up your hand. Each each circumstance, you are holding the

513
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: thing that the Lord's given you, but in two completely

514
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: different postures, and so slowly over time, like anything the

515
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: Lord's given me. Sometimes I can just feel my hand

516
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: just slowly start to grab it and turn, and I

517
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: just feel my heart getting tethered to it, and I

518
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: just have to pray, Oh God, keep my hand open,

519
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: so I could be content without this thing. I don't

520
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: need this thing. Just to pray that over my family

521
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: and my career, my bank account.

522
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 4: If you ever want to fill that with ye life,

523
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 4: just let me know me and Grange will.

524
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 2: Take over for you. It's a pretty successful channel when

525
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 2: when someone says something like that. You know what American

526
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: Christianity says a lot of times in response to what

527
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 2: you just said, They go, amen, brother God and family

528
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 2: over everything. But you see what they did. You see

529
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: what that? You see the distinction? Amen, brother boy, I

530
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: just keep the only things in my fist that's closed

531
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: is my family and my God. But you just made

532
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: your family an idol. But what you said, you didn't

533
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 2: say that. You said everything, including your family, must be

534
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 2: held with an open hand. And I say that as

535
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 2: a father who's lost a son. You know that's held

536
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 2: a dead son. Hey, you have to hold everything with

537
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: an open hand. The Lord gives, the Lord takes away.

538
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: If you don't do that, your own idol will eat

539
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 2: you alive and it will crush you. I was looking

540
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 2: on in this passage because if you haven't read Romans,

541
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 2: if you're listening right now and you haven't read romans,

542
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 2: that are really any of the Bible, but specifically today

543
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: we're looking at Romans. That man, it's just it never ends.

544
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: It never ceases to be. The next paragraph is something

545
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 2: you'll want to know, Parker. You were saved. The Lord

546
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 2: saved you by Romans. You like? You? Like how I

547
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 2: said that Lord saved you by reading Romans? Right? What chapter?

548
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,479
Speaker 2: Do you remember? What chapter? What part? Uh?

549
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you told me. You told me in twenty twenty

550
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: one to read to read Romans. I said, I'm a Christian,

551
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: but we should do a video on it each of

552
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: our testimonies at some point. But I said I'm a Christian.

553
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: I just I don't. I don't desire to read the Bible.

554
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: I can't read half the page without falling asleep. It's like,

555
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm a Christian, but I'd rather go get bottle service

556
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: on the weekend and go to church, but like find

557
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: God in my own place. And then actually I started

558
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: like pushing a little bit more towards Jordan Peterson's theology

559
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: of well, maybe Jesus was just the highest construct of

560
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: good and that we should all just desire to be

561
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: like that and he just rappers anyway. But that's a

562
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: long that's a long road. But Peterson would take the

563
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: Bible was a true myth, at least back in twenty

564
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: nineteen when I used to listen to him very regularly.

565
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: I know his wife converted to Catholicism, But yeah, I

566
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 1: started to think that the Bible was like a true myth,

567
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: meaning that it taught true things, but it wasn't. It

568
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 1: didn't actually happen. And now I just see how stupid

569
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: that is because of how historically reliable the scriptures are

570
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: and now they've just proven themselves over and over again.

571
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: But yeah, so Granger told me to read the Book

572
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: of Romans. I read Romans one and it said they

573
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: exchanged the truth about God for a lie, worshiping and

574
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: serving created things rather than the Creator. And for the

575
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: first time of my life, I was like this is interesting,

576
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: Like I'm not like really bored all of a sudden.

577
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: And then I read the little footnote and said they

578
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: knew God, but they didn't want God, and I was

579
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: like in that moment, I was like wait a second,

580
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: Like you can believe in God and still be going

581
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 1: to hell, like acknowledging God's existence doesn't save you. And

582
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I should keep reading this. And

583
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: then I just like read about all these sins and

584
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: Romans and I was like, you check, check, that's all

585
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 1: me Yeah, that's all me. Wow, I think I really

586
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: overlooked something in this. Uh so, yeah, Romans. Romans is

587
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: crazy when.

588
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 2: You're reading like you're talking about and you get to

589
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 2: you know, one, two, three, chapter four, and you get

590
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 2: to chapter five and you see what we're saved from,

591
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 2: which is often that you know, people think about saved

592
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 2: from ourselves or saved from the devil, and it's actually

593
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 2: not what what Romans five ten says. We were enemies.

594
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 2: It says, so if while we were enemies with God,

595
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: we're reckon where if we enemies, we were reconciled to

596
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 2: God by the death of the Son, much more than

597
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 2: now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by

598
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 2: his life? It says been in Romans five to one. Therefore,

599
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 2: since we have been justified by faith, we have peace

600
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 2: with God. We have peace with God. Which is crazy

601
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 2: to think that all this time, as an unbeliever, you're

602
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 2: out of peace with God and you're an enemy.

603
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: With him, which is why the primary message of evangelism

604
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: can't be only that Jesus loves you.

605
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 2: We can't listen Romans not enemy of God. Since therefore

606
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 2: we've been now justified by His blood talking about Christ.

607
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: Much more, shall we be saved by him from the

608
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 2: wrath of God. He stepped in and took our place

609
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 2: as an enemy. He became an enemy in that sense.

610
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 2: He became a sinner in that sense, he became unrighteous

611
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 2: in that sense. He became the acute, the accused, and

612
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 2: took on the punishment another word for punishment in the

613
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 2: Bible that we see a lot as chastisement. He was chastised,

614
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 2: he was punished, it's a legal term. And he was punished, abused,

615
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 2: treated as guilty, treated as an enemy, and the wrath

616
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 2: of God poured on to him. I mean the wrath

617
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 2: of God poured onto him so that he could stand

618
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 2: in our place and take it so that we could

619
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 2: walk free. Nothing else could set us free, but the

620
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: perfect son of God. The longer you meditate on that,

621
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 2: then you see the love of Jesus. That's where the

622
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 2: love of Jesus comes from, not because he's sweet and

623
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 2: accepting of anything you do. It's because he stepped in

624
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 2: your place and took all those little sweet things that

625
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 2: you did that were sin on his own body. Because

626
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 2: he loves you. That's where the love comes in, right,

627
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 2: That's the gospel. So do you guys have anything in

628
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 2: your life recently that you feels like you're pulling away

629
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 2: from the conforming of the world and you're cutting it

630
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 2: off and moving towards the trans transforming of your mind.

631
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: People are gonna think, We're like, that's so extreme. I

632
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: feel exactly what I want them to think.

633
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 2: I do. I want people to go, what is wrong

634
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 2: with these guys?

635
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:40,919
Speaker 1: Like no one's in my head, Like, no one's gonna

636
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: listen to this podcast Grangers talking about stopping listening to

637
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: country music out here he's telling me to not go

638
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: to country concerts. Like even what I was about to

639
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: say about like yeah, I just feel like, yeah, what

640
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: do you say? Well, I was the first thing that

641
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: comes to mind is I've like literally actively been praying

642
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: God make me care less about college football this season.

643
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: She just sounds like Jays laughing, Like it sounds so ridiculous.

644
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: It's like it's just football, what are you talking about?

645
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 2: And like it's a liturgy of the world.

646
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: There's been several times recently where I felt something start

647
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:31,479
Speaker 1: to like uh, I Like, for instance, I was playing

648
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: Battlefield six. There's nothing wrong with playing video games, right

649
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: If video games are not inherently sinful, depending on like

650
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: the type of game that you're playing. So I was

651
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: playing Battlefield six like pretty much every day in the

652
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: office on my lunch break, and I just felt it

653
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: get to a point where I was like, oh, it

654
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: was like it just like what we were talking about earlier.

655
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: I could just felt feel like it was just like

656
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: kind of hearty in my heart, and like, do I

657
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 1: feel like caring for church members?

658
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 2: Literally?

659
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: Well, right after I play this, or am I just

660
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: kind of pissed off because like I just died a

661
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: bunch of times, and like I just remember specifically praying

662
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: in the last few weeks. God helped me to like

663
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: not care about video games as much as I used to,

664
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: and like boom, like that very next week, it was

665
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: just like yeah, no, I feel like you just like

666
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: immediately answered that prayer. So that's an example of something

667
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: that and then like that's I just feel like I

668
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: have these idols and then like it's like, all right,

669
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 1: what's next on the list? What's something that I could

670
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: ask right that he at your right hand is fullness

671
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: of joy? What am I finding joy in more than you?

672
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: That's just actually kind of distracting and like not pulling

673
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: me closer to you. So for me that was like

674
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: video games and then like potentially college football as that's

675
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: this season comes up, like help me enjoy it, like

676
00:40:55,120 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: a good godly person can just enjoy college football and

677
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 1: not be sinful. But if I can't, then just take

678
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 1: it away from me and help me not care. And

679
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: he's like been faithful to answer that prayer with lots

680
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: of things.

681
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 2: I love that man, and I want people to listen

682
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 2: to this and go, these guys are going too far.

683
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 2: You remember when we had Easy on Aunt and he

684
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 2: Easy from Living Waters had such a great illustration and

685
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 2: he said, the society's like this. If you if you're

686
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 2: a smoker your whole life, and you could get that,

687
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 2: you can get the picture of your lung, what looked,

688
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 2: what it looks like. You know what a smoker's lung

689
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 2: looks like. And you decide to quit smoking, and you

690
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: do it, whatever system you do, maybe it's cold Turkey.

691
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 2: And then you go thirty days and you go to

692
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 2: people and you say, man, I quit smoking. It's been

693
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 2: thirty days. I feel good, I feel healthier. And people

694
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 2: hear that and they go, dude, congratulations, I'm so happy

695
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 2: for you. But if you go, guys, I quit college football.

696
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 2: He was becoming an idol in my life was taken over.

697
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 2: I didn't feel like I could serve my church after

698
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 2: being absorbed in the you know, the anxiety of it.

699
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: So I quit spend thirty days. People would go, you

700
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 2: have lost your mind because we've prioritized these sins depending

701
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 2: on how they affect us on the outside. Smoking obviously

702
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 2: affects your body on the outside, and and and any

703
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 2: other idol affects you from the inside. So you know,

704
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: playing a video game might be crushing you on the inside,

705
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 2: but you're not a smoker. So the world applauds you, like,

706
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 2: good job on eating less carbs and not smoking. And

707
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 2: then you go back and you're playing video games and

708
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 2: it's it's destroying you. That's why the world goes this

709
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 2: podcast is ridiculous, you know.

710
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just reminds me of like Paul saying, like

711
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: all those things can be lawful, but not all of

712
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: them are helpful, and so it's like not so much

713
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: like is this particular thing sinful could be, but is

714
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: it helpful? And so like choose what's more, Just choose

715
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: what's more helpful, And then just like ask God to

716
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: just continue to change, like literally renew your mind. What

717
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: am I thinking about? What brings me like pleasure? Like

718
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: renew my mind to the things that are just more helpful,

719
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: so that I would desire to do that, so that

720
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: I could be that vessel for honorable use like he

721
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: talks about in second Timothy, so that I could just

722
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: be more useful of my time here on earth.

723
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 2: You guys got something something Lord's working on you with.

724
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I stopped reading the Bible. That's a good thing

725
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 3: to get all the way all the way through in

726
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 3: one year. I want to hear you finish. I didn't

727
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 3: purpose for dramatic effect stop reading it all the way

728
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 3: through in one year. I've done it twice now, which

729
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 3: is great. But I was reading it to get to

730
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 3: the end result starting on this date, ending on this date.

731
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 3: Cool accomplished. And so now I'm going through like I

732
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 3: even did it. Today we were talking about another verse,

733
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 3: and so I'll go in and I'll start doing research

734
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 3: on the setting. Now you know, we don't pull screen

735
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 3: like particular passages out of context. I've now tried to

736
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 3: do that with a whole chapter. Let's let's set the

737
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 3: whole chapter in context, what happened before, what happens after?

738
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 3: Where were they and who they were, who were they

739
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,919
Speaker 3: talking to? What was what was going on in their

740
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 3: life and their situation that he you know that that

741
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 3: poll's writing into. And so that's kind of how I've

742
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 3: been reading now, So I only read I read much

743
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 3: fewer chapters every day. I now read two instead of four,

744
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 3: So read two. But it's actually ends up being longer

745
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 3: in time because there's like there's a whole reading before

746
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 3: I get into the chapter, and then off times I'll

747
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 3: go back into a specific First, there was one today

748
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 3: in so that I was reading. I was like, I

749
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 3: don't know what that means, So let's go look up

750
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 3: what would this whole line mean? What does this whole

751
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 3: verse mean? And then it's this dissertation basically you know,

752
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 3: it's like two paragraphs of what was going on here?

753
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 2: And so you're telling me your sanctification is so far

754
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 2: advanced that what you're what you're dealing with right now

755
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 2: is the amount of Bible you're reading. I want to

756
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 2: be man, No, that's that's definitely, But I got to

757
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 2: I got to like, man, I'm like, I'm giving up

758
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 2: video games. What are you giving up I'm I'm giving

759
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 2: up the old system of reading the Bible.

760
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: Well, no, but I was going to say what I

761
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 1: love about what you said, Parker.

762
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 3: Is I think that that is the living, tangible example

763
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 3: of what we read at the beginning of renewing your mind.

764
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 3: That's a constant renewing of your mind. Renewing your mind

765
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 3: doesn't happen one time. It's not a magic spell. It's

766
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 3: not something you repeat one time and oh cool, mine's dude,

767
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 3: move on about your life.

768
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: It's that it's a constant renewal of your mind.

769
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 3: What is taking the place of the Lord and his

770
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 3: purpose in my life right now?

771
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 2: Is it the love of college football? Cool?

772
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: Let's address that? Is it the love of this video game?

773
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:15,919
Speaker 2: Cool?

774
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: Let's address that? Is it what I'm eating? Cool? Let's

775
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: address that. Is it smoking? Is it dipping? Is it drinking?

776
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: What is it?

777
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 3: Let's find those and I think that is that's I

778
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 3: think it's a tangible walking out. Hey, look at this

779
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 3: as an example of when somebody asked, what is renewing

780
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 3: your mind?

781
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: This?

782
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,879
Speaker 3: But this on the long term, this this year, this month,

783
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 3: this this week.

784
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 2: And to speak to what you're talking about your sanctification

785
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 2: with your Bible. Reading your disciplines could become an idol

786
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 2: to you, sure, because you rely on your disciplines and

787
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 2: not on the goal of the discipline itself.

788
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: My discipline was a McShane plan. Cool, did it all

789
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: the way through?

790
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

791
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 3: But what did I get out of it? Well, I've

792
00:46:57,520 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 3: read the Bible all the way through? Do you know anything?

793
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 3: What it's Do you remember? Like when I I thought

794
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 3: of that the second time I read it, I was like,

795
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 3: I don't remember reading this. I clearly read it because

796
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 3: I did it all the way through last time. And

797
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 3: then when I read it the second time, I'm look,

798
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 3: I don't remember this, And now that I'm digging deeper,

799
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't remember this.

800
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 2: About you?

801
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did the same thing Mickshange planned, and I

802
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 4: felt the same way.

803
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 2: And it's great you.

804
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's great.

805
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: If you've never read all this.

806
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 4: It's ad because with me, I was like almost dreading

807
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:32,879
Speaker 4: it because I was like, man, I just can't wait

808
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 4: to be done because this is so long, so much.

809
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, this isn't how I need to be

810
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 4: reading it. So after that I went straight to like

811
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 4: just reading one of the Gospels, like one verse at

812
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 4: a time and like rereading it, cooking stuff.

813
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 2: That's where I started the gospel. Right now, I'm doing.

814
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 4: Proverbs with some buddies and I love it, man, just

815
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 4: like it's and I'm reading Psalms on my morning time, yeah,

816
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 4: paired with like you know, right now it's First Corinthians

817
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 4: and I just did Romans. But it's song fifty six

818
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 4: was my thing this morning. It's like short, sweet adjustable.

819
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:05,280
Speaker 4: I was like, man, that's awesome.

820
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 2: So last week you and I were talking about war

821
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 2: and Iran and you were like war, you know, But

822
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 2: over this last week that's actually become a really big discussion.

823
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 2: Is it war or is it not war? Should we

824
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 2: call it a war? You know, Vietnam War, the Golf War,

825
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:32,800
Speaker 2: the war on drugs? Like when do we use that word? Anyway,

826
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 2: that's a side note, but I thought it was funny

827
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 2: that the little discussion you and I had was actually

828
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 2: a huge discussion because Trump's saying war, and a lot

829
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 2: of other people were saying, this is not a war,

830
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 2: it's a conflict.

831
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 1: A conflict, yes, because war is declared by it.

832
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 2: So what should we talk about next week? Comment below

833
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 2: on this video. What we should talk about next week, Parker,

834
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 2: would you pull up?

835
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 1: I was just looking up what an actually taler said

836
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 1: reminded me of a quote. I can find the exact quote.

837
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: I think it was one of the Puritans that said,

838
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: somebody says that they understand a portion of Scripture, but

839
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: it's not driving them to love God or love others more,

840
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: and that they have not understood it. And so it's

841
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: the temptation to like say, I want to read these

842
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: four chapters of scripture of scripture this morning, boom did it.

843
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: But if it hasn't driven you to like think about

844
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: your relationship with God and who he is and his

845
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: characteristics until driven you to literally love him more and

846
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: then to turn and love others more, probably haven't gotten

847
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 1: out of it what God intended for you two. So

848
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: like I'd rather read one verse a day if it

849
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 1: actually is impacting my heart.

850
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, verse for the people.

851
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 4: So I'm fifty six y three, I read this morning

852
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 4: when I'm afraid I would trust in you.

853
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 2: Love that verse. So I think this we could do

854
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:57,359
Speaker 2: another episode at some point about the sanctification or about

855
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 2: the physic you know, like more of I'm checking the

856
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 2: Netflix ratings now before I watch it. I think we

857
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 2: could have more specific discussion, but this one is just

858
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 2: kind of opening up the idea that the Christian walk is,

859
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 2: it is a daily dying to self. And if if

860
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 2: there's comments about this, I would love to see comments

861
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 2: on this. I think instead of a book giveaway, I

862
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 2: would like to keep for people to read Romans in

863
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,919
Speaker 2: its entirety. If you're gonna, if you if you're gonna

864
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 2: engage with us and be willing to read a book,

865
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 2: read the Book of Romans and and watch the arc

866
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 2: of the the argument that Paul makes in these in

867
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 2: in this book. And so that being said, comment below,

868
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 2: how should I say this? I loved last week. I

869
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 2: love going to the video last week and seeing we

Speaker 2: need biblical men and iron. Yeah that was so cool. Yeah,

871
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 2: you know, if you haven't heard the podcast, and that's all,

872
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 2: especially if you forget all these people are saying that,

873
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 2: so we need, we need, we need to read. We

874
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 2: should all read the Book of Romans again, something like that,

875
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 2: a comment like that, we should all read the Book

876
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 2: of Romans again. You do that and we will sign

Speaker 2: to unpack as the Crazy Christian Podcast.

892
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 3: Shout out to Jill in Virginia, great informative episode. I

893
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 3: learned a lot. Thank you, Jill, appreciate you. Laurie, great podcast.

894
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 3: Ye Ye from Ontario, Canada, Jason said, I was looking

895
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 3: for a movie to watch on Pure Flicks and came across.

896
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 1: Your movie Moonrise.

897
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 3: Watched that it was really cool and then discovered a

898
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 3: whole there's it's a it's like three paragraphs, but it was.

899
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 3: It was a great comment on there, Rachel said, thank

900
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 3: you for being at a group of biblically sound men

901
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 3: for my husband and so many others around the world

902
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 3: to listen to. Yeah, if you've got somebody you think

903
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 3: this podcast would be greatful, be awesome if you shared

904
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 3: it with.

905
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 2: Them, it'd be crazy to do. Yeah. Yeah, we clearly

906
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 2: we don't want everyone to have a gospel conversation go

907
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 2: by without the gospel. And but we clearly did that

908
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 2: in this episode. We say by grace through faith, and

909
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:02,959
Speaker 2: this is not our own doing. It is the gift

910
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 2: of God, not a result of work, so that no

911
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 2: man may boast in Christ debt on the cross. And

912
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 2: if you read the Book of Romans, like my assignment

913
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 2: would be to you, the gospels all over it. That's

914
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 2: all we got. If you.

915
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: Are watching on YouTube, you'll knows. Tyler shirt actually is

916
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: a shirt that just released in our spring launch with EEE.

917
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: So we just did our EEE Apparel spring launch and

918
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: the one Tyler has on right now, it's got four

919
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,760
Speaker 1: symbols on it. And so our desire was to create

920
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: something that would be able to subtlely share the gospel

921
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: or to provoke conversations. So it has a crown, a

922
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: man across in like an arrow representing God man Christ's

923
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: response and So that's a really good way to be

924
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: able to share the gospel. And then our hope is

925
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:55,879
Speaker 1: that those shirts will sell thousands and that they will

926
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: provoke Gospel Center conversations with people as they wonder what

927
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: those symbols are. And it's just a good way to

928
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: remember it because sharing the gospel can be intimidating. We

929
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: have a ton of people that ask about this hat too. Yeah, no,

930
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: those is in it right?

931
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

932
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: So the hat I'm wearing this is Jesus Lord Tyler designed.

933
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: It's really cool camo, and the one ant Man's holding

934
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: is our nine nine one hat, which is actually much

935
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: more on brand for the podcast, Thank you, ant Man,

936
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: Tyler created this real tree hat that says nine to

937
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: nine four one on it's that's really cool. So that

938
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: just released too. Hopefully it's still in stock when you're

939
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 1: watching this.

940
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's going to go out of stock quick. Huh.

941
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 2: That's such a cool hat you can put your mind.

942
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,760
Speaker 2: People either ask about that hat or why I don't

943
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 2: do the Smiths anymore? Those are like the two main comments.

944
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: Why don't you do the smith anymore?

945
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 2: There's no real reason besides just been busy writing and

946
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 2: you didn't get burned down time with my family.

947
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 4: And I mean maybe a little bit also because the

948
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 4: views dropped, didn't they.

949
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 2: It's always it's always motivating to see a lot of views.

950
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 2: But it was about the same at the end. It

951
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 2: just yeah, I guess it was more so that you

952
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 2: didn't see the growth. It just was years and years.

953
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 2: But it's the channel's not done. We're just it's hard

954
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 2: to be motivated.

955
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was thinking about your kids are older now.

956
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 2: It's like I don't want to.

957
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 4: I might be embarrassed if I was fourteen my dad,

958
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 4: come on, you know what I mean.

959
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 2: So maybe that's a reason. No, that those are all

960
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 2: the reasons. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, but it's not dead.

961
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 2: It's just I've been busy and part of the business

962
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: is hanging out with my family and joining them. That's

963
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 2: part of the business. Even I don't like that. We

964
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 2: all know. I don't like that word. I prefer to

965
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 2: say fool. It's been full. So is that is that

966
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 2: we got recover everything? Yeah, Kaden, just making sure we

967
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 2: don't have the good conversation. We stop recording this time.

968
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 2: We have a habit of stopping recording and then having

969
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 2: the deep conversation. So let's pretend like we're finishing and

970
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 2: Tyler's about to say some really profound thing, and I was.

971
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 4: Just gonna say my thing conforming to this world I

972
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 4: think as girls. I was just trying to work through

973
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 4: it in my head, though I didn't I didn't know

974
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 4: if it was, you know, applicable to this conversation. But again,

975
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 4: I just like, you think that you're getting far and

976
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 4: like your sanctification or like oh I'm over that sin

977
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:12,240
Speaker 4: or I'm over that that lustful thought or something. Then

978
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 4: literally yesterday I found myself about to text this girl

979
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 4: and I was like, what are you doing? You know

980
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 4: she's not a believer. Why are you Why are you

981
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 4: doing this?

982
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 2: Oh?

983
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I just deleted her number, like I have

984
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 4: no delete, like flee from you know, flee run from

985
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,879
Speaker 4: sexual immorality. It's like, Lord, please continue to like that's

986
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 4: the flesh in me and like the sin and me

987
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 4: coming up. And it's only because of the Lord that

988
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 4: I'm able to that he allows me to delete. That

989
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 4: is such a great example and such a great story

990
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 4: of God did it, and you crushed it. You crushed

991
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 4: it because God did it. Say whatever word you want,

992
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 4: God's sovereignty over your life, Tyler, your mind, I've redeemed

993
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 4: you now sin no more and through the power of

994
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 4: the Holy Spirit, you kill it. Yeah, and that's dude,

995
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 4: that's so freeing and so like, you know, like if

996
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 4: he does have somebody for me, it's like it's all

997

Speaker 4: I'm open, like if I'm cool and content or whatever.

999
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 4: But it's like when you you know, because in the
