1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody. Welcome to the Grangersmith podcast. This is

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: episode two hundred and thirty one, and it's a special

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: one for me because this is actually also live right now,

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: and so thank you guys for tuning in live if

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: you are, and we're trying out something. Ant Man's actually

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: sitting here in the studio with me right now, and

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: we're trying something special because if we could start incorporating

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: some live podcast into the normal recorded podcast, and we

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: could start taking your questions live, and because that's what

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: I do on this podcast, I answer your questions. In fact,

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: if you want to email me, if you're listening later

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: and you want to email me, just email podcast at

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: grangersmith dot com. If you're watching live, then you could

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: comment right ant but you could just calm it away.

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: This is opening up an opportunity perhaps down the road,

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: where we could actually do this at other places. We

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: can go to theaters, we can go to any kind

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: of auditorium or a convention center, right and do that.

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: So ant Man and I could do it, we could

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: bring guests in and I think this could be this

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: could be the beginning of something very special.

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, and i'd encourage you to comment, because if you comment,

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: we can throw your comments like a stinger.

24
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: PK. Yeah, here we go. What's up, stinger, And so

25
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: we'll put your comment on the screen here live. Good morning,

26
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: jan thanks for being here. And other than this, other

27
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: than all these cool features, this is not going to

28
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: be any different than any other podcast. We're just going

29
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: to read your questions and we're going to talk about

30
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: them as if we're sitting in the cap of a

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: truck or sitting around a campfire. I don't always have

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: the right answers, but I could at least walk through

33
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: these questions as if you're a good friend of mine.

34
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: So good morning everyone. I say, we've got Alaska, we

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: got Houston, we've got northern Minnesota, we've got Japan in

36
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: the house live today. I should. It is also worth

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: saying that simultaneously, right now, the EEE Spring launch has

38
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: now gone live. And so right here I'm looking at

39
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: my phone and there it is EEE dot Com. It's live. Ultimately,

40
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: what I think what I would want is for you

41
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: to be having that open on your phone and this

42
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: podcast open on your phone, and you're kind of listening

43
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: to the podcast while you're shopping for your latest spring

44
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: launch apparel from ee. Let's jump into this ant I'm

45
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: gonna get. Let's see the first question here and once again,

46
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: if you have a question, you could email me podcast

47
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: at grangersmith dot com, or you could actually comment on

48
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: the live first question comes from Jacket says, Hey Granger,

49
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: my name is Jack. I'm a freshman in college. I

50
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: know I'm young, but the way I was raised, I

51
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: just have an old soul. I've always yearned to marry young. However,

52
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: I find it hard in this time to find a good, faithful,

53
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: hardworking woman of God. I know this takes time and patience.

54
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: I've been praying a lot and reading my Bible. However,

55
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: sometimes I find myself doubting my patience and doubting it

56
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: will pay off. Looking for some advice on patience and

57
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: your thoughts on finding a good faithful woman today as

58
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: a young man. Thanks for your consideration, Love your podcast

59
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: and your music. All right, what's up, Jack? Thanks for

60
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: the question. Brother, you're a freshman in college. I'm assuming eighteen,

61
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: nineteen years old, maybe twenty. The thing is, first of all,

62
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: I need to say, if you're a friend of mine,

63
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: it puts you in a little bit of a predicament

64
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: almost a dangerous situation if you are saying that you

65
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: are the kind of person that will want to marry young,

66
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: because that automatically opens the door to you're just gonna

67
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: settle because you have established your identity as a kind

68
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: of person that marries young with that out having the

69
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: person that you're going to marry ready. And I think

70
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: that's a problem. And if you're a friend of mine,

71
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: we're sitting in the cab of a truck, I'd say, Jack,

72
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: pump the brakes a little bit. Hold your horses. You

73
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: you are saying you're doubting your own patience. You're a

74
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: man of God, first of all, I do need to say.

75
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: Prayer would be something that's going to help build your patience.

76
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: And so it's you know, every day in your prayer

77
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: it's like, God, build my patience. But you have to

78
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: be careful with that prayer because when you start praying

79
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: for patience, that means God puts things in your life

80
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: that you have to wait for, because how else would

81
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: you learn it. So you don't say, God teach me

82
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: patience and he gives you things that you want it

83
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,119
Speaker 1: like that would be self defeating. A good father would

84
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: not do that. If my son Lincoln said, Dad, will

85
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: you show me patience, I'd say, all right, let's go

86
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: out and we're going to go. We're going to go

87
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: fish at a place that has very little fish. That's

88
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: going to teach patience. And so speaking of fish, jack

89
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: an analogy I always like to look at and think

90
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: about when you're talking about finding a wife. So after

91
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: all that said, if you're looking for like you said,

92
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: it's you're having trouble finding a faithful, hard working woman

93
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: of God. I would say, if you're having trouble with that,

94
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: you might want to consider your fishing in the wrong pond.

95
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: And this happens all the time you go. And first

96
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: of all, you might not even be fishing. You might

97
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: not even have a line in the water. Right, So

98
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: you're sitting on you're sitting on your couch playing video games,

99
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: maybe you're reading your Bible, you're eating chicken nuggets, and

100
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: you're going, where are all of the faithful, hard work

101
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: and women of God. It's like you don't even have

102
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: a line in the water to catch a single fish.

103
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: So think about what are the ponds that you would

104
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: fish for that, for that, for that kind of cat

105
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: Where would you go to find a good, faithful, hard

106
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: working woman of God. Where would you go? Just logically,

107
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: I want you to think through that kind of thing, Jack,

108
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: and I think the first thing all of us would

109
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: think about is you're going to go to a good faithful,

110
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: Bible preaching church with a lot of different demographic there.

111
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: You got some old people, you got some young people,

112
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: you got some babies, you got some fresh out of

113
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: college kids, you got some young couples. You get a

114
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,559
Speaker 1: good variety. And I'd say that's a pretty good pond

115
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: to be fishent. Yeah, nice question comes from Mary. And

116
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: by the way, we are alive, so if you have

117
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: a question, keep them coming. And I appreciate all you guys.

118
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: My email is podcast at grangersmith dot com and you

119
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: could also just comment right here on the live We

120
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: might do this soon in the future. We're working out

121
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: trying to get some better cameras in here. Right now

122
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: we're just working off the laptop camera. But we do

123
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: have ant Man graciously given us this time. He produces

124
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: this podcast. He also produces After Midnight with Me. Next

125
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: question from Mary says, Hello, Granger, I want to say

126
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: thank you for all the Smith videos. I recently found

127
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: out about you, and I've enjoyed many of the podcast

128
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: by Granger Arrives with Amber, and I've gone back to

129
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: the beginning of The Smiths and I'm working my way

130
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: through them. They're all so inspiring. I also really enjoyed

131
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: the anniversary in Europe episodes of The Smiths. One thing

132
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: that I find myself looking at and trying to figure

133
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: out is that big tattoo on Granger's upper arm with

134
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: the Roman numerals. Could you explain keep sharing your videos.

135
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: It's amazing the work God has done in your lives

136
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: and how He is using you to bless others. Well,

137
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: I think most people that are watching the live right

138
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: now could probably answer that. I know jan who's watching

139
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: right now, could answer, what is that tattoo with the

140
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: Roman numerals on my upper arm? And it is my

141
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: kids birthdays? So there's four Roman numerals and it is London,

142
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: Lincoln River and Maverick. I thought it was going to

143
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: be three when I had when I thought I had

144
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: my life planned out, and ended up needing space for

145
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: one more little caboose Maverick and hey, and don't don't

146
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: put it past me that I'm not going to sit

147
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: here again and tell you that now that tattoo is complete,

148
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: you never know, it could be an adoption in the future.

149
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: I think biologically we're done. But I'm smart enough now

150
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: at least to say I I'd no longer decide when

151
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: things in my life are finished are not.

152
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: That's smart because it goes to, like, you know, the

153
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: last question. I tend to put God in a box

154
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: when you start off, you don't feel like it, yeah,

155
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 2: because you're like, so I'm going to get married young.

156
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: You just said God, here's my parameters.

157
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: Oh that's so good. Yeah, that's good, and soame with

158
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: the same with your tattoos. Jack, take that tattoo advice

159
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: that I that I have learned. It took me a

160
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: long time. But but what ant Man's saying is when

161
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: you go to God and you go, hey, God, I'm

162
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: a young soul. I mean I'm a young man with

163
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: an old soul, and I'm the kind of person that

164
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: marries young Where is the hard working worm? You just

165
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: told God who you think you are to him who

166
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: created you? And it gets it gets a little shady there.

167
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: So here's a here's a question that we had come

168
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 3: in comments where we take a break here kind of

169
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 3: goes along with this one.

170
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: All right, So Michelle says, good morning from upstate New York.

171
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: How many more videos of your Israel trip are coming.

172
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: I've been so blessed by the eight that have been

173
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: seen so far. So we have one more video that's

174
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: on site there that makes nine by and so that'll

175
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: be our last day in Israel, and that'll be coming

176
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: out Lord Willing Tuesday. Paul. It's been working so hard

177
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: to get these put out, and I've been very happy

178
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: with these Israel videos. But I left that ninth video.

179
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: I ended it talking with Amber a little bit about

180
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: what we saw and kind of thinking about the last

181
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: eleven days. But I left it open ended because I

182
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: wanted to come back home and really be able to

183
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: unpack it all in my mind. And so Michelle, there

184
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: will be ten, but the tenth one will be Amber

185
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: and I sitting here, which I have not filmed yet.

186
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: We'll be sitting here in the house, looking back and

187
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: thinking about all the comments that came in, all the hate.

188
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: I got so much hate on not only the Smith's videos,

189
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: but mainly on my Instagram post when I said we

190
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: went to Israel an unbelievable amount of hate. A lot

191
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: of it I had to hide on Instagram because it

192
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: was very hurtful, So I might be able to walk

193
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: through a little bit of that too. So that's a

194
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: long way of saying ten videos, and so Tuesday and

195
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: Thursday of next week we'll wrap this thing up and

196
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: then we'll go back to normal scheduled Smith's videos, which

197
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: I haven't filmed in a long time. I've been taking

198
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: a little break so I'll be able to get into

199
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: that and then talk about this book coming out up

200
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: towards the Light on April the second, and ye e

201
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: day we'll start talking about that. So yeah, we're gonna

202
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: take a break and we'll be right back. A long

203
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: time ago, when I started grangersmith dot com, I think

204
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: an online store was the furthest thing from my mind.

205
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: And now here we are with not only grangersmith dot com,

206
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: but Eeye dot com and selling is what we do.

207
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: But now it's become so easy, and that's all because

208
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: I use Shopify. Shopify is the global commerce platform that

209
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: helps you sell at every stage of your business, from

210
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: your launch your own line shop stage to the first

211
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: real life store stage, all the way to man did

212
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: we just hit a whole bunch of order stage. Shopify

213
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: is there to help you grow. Whether you're selling scented

214
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: soap or outdoor apparel like we do at EE. Shopify

215
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: helps you sell everywhere, from their all in one e

216
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: commerce platform to their in person POS system. Wherever or

217
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: whatever you're selling, Shopify has got you covered. And I

218
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: know this sounds fancy, but what they do is they

219
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: turn your browsers into buyers. And that's because they have

220
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: the internet's best converting checkout thirty six percent better on

221
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: average compared to other leading commerce platforms. That's really good.

222
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: You could sell more with less effort thanks to shopify Magic,

223
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: that is your AI powered all star Listen. I don't

224
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: like to do this kind of stuff. I don't like

225
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: to get technical and in the weeds. I'm not a

226
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: graphic designer or a code writer. So that's why Shopify

227
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: comes in. Allows me to be creative with the actual

228
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: apparel or whatever selling at EE, and I don't have

229
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: to worry about the technical aspect of actually people clicking

230
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: and taking their credit card and selling through that platform.

231
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about it all because Shopify

232
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: has got me covered in fact they have most people covered.

233
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: Ten percent of all e commerce platforms in the entire

234
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: US use Shopify. Outside of the US, it's also just

235
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: an a measly one and seventy five countries. That is crazy.

00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: years old. I've been listening to the podcast for over

299
00:16:55,520 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: a year now. I've been I've been having concerns about

300
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: what I'm going to do after high school, mainly because

301
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 1: I want to either be a fire watcher or a

302
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: truck driver, but both of these jobs consist of long

303
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: periods of isolation. I want to get married and if

304
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 1: kids one day. I'm not sure how I could do

305
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: that with these two professions. And then he goes on

306
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: to say I'm stumped right now and any advice would

307
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: help me. I mean, what is firewatcher? What's a firewatcher?

308
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 2: When I read that email, I bought the same thing.

309
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 2: But he said it so confidently in the email. It

310
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 2: wasn't like a misspelling or something like that. Yeah, Oh,

311
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: that's a specific job. Is it like maybe when they're

312
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: burning brush or doing controlled burns?

313
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: Does somebody comment below if you know what firewatcher is?

314
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 3: This is as good as mind on that.

315
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm not totally sure, but I'm assuming it's something where

316
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: you need to go on twenty four on twenty four

317
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: off seventy two on something like that, worre similar to

318
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: a firefighter where you're living in a station, then he's

319
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: going to be away. So so Anonymous, it's interesting. This

320
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: is similar to Jack's question earlier where you're you are

321
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: giving parameters to God? Did you get an answer? Firewatcher

322
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: is someone on a lookout tower that watches for fires. Thanks, Jeremiah,

323
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: Man this live, This live podcast is awesome, good instant answers. Jeremiah,

324
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: you're the man, okay, So similar to a firefighter, uh,

325
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: living in a location where he's watching. So to Anonymous,

326
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: You're you're giving these parameters to God. You're going, Hey, God,

327
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: I don't know how this is gonna work because my

328
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: identity is a firefighter or a truck driver firewatcher. And

329
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm also I don't know how that's gonna work with

330
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: my future life that hasn't happened yet, with my future

331
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: wife and kids that I haven't met yet. I'm not

332
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: sure how this works. And so you're really My counsel

333
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: to you, Anonymous, is that you are at a time

334
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: right now, this is the only time, if Lord willing,

335
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: you do get this family this is the time right

336
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: now to be the truck driver, to be the firewatcher,

337
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: and you committing to that. So you commit to a company,

338
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: a truck driving company, and you go out and you say, look,

339
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you all my time right now

340
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: because I could drive, and I'm going to get my permit,

341
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: and I don't have a family, I don't have kids,

342
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: so I'm ready to go out on the road. That's

343
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 1: something you might not be able to offer in the future.

344
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: So do it now when you still have a chance.

345
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: And then when you meet the wife lord willing. If

346
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: you do, then you go, hey, I'm gonna now that

347
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: I've seen what the road's like, that's out of my system.

348
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a truck driver anymore. Or

349
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: you go, you know what, I love trucking so much

350
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: that now I'm going to take my wife with me

351
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: and she's going to co drive with me, and I

352
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: think we're going to see the country together. So my

353
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 1: point is I don't know the answer, and you don't

354
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: either until you commit to something. So follow that right now,

355
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: because the only thing you can do since you don't

356
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: have a wife and family is do the firewatcher or

357
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: truck gig right now, it's not going to hurt anything,

358
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: and then you'll know that really the point of this podcast,

359
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: it's not for me to ever give you right answers.

360
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: It's for me to help you sink through, like let's

361
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: let's think together so that we could learn to critically

362
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: think with a biblical worldview through these these you know,

363
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: common questions and move on. Should we move on to

364
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: Madison here? Yeah? Yeah, Madison says, Hey, Granger. My husband

365
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: and I run our own business and it is physically demanding,

366
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: seven days a week and long hours. We've worked over

367
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: twelve years and have made a lot of sacrifices to

368
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: get here. My husband is my rock, an amazing dad.

369
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: He works so hard yet still takes time for our kids.

370
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: He is so solid most of the time, but when

371
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: a bad day, he shuts me out, won't hardly talk,

372
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: so I guess selfishly I tend to get upset because

373
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 1: I'm worried about him and I want to fix it.

374
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: His hard days are always work related, burnout, wondering why

375
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 1: we're even doing this, physically and mentally drained. On a

376
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,959
Speaker 1: side note, we've both grown up in Christian families. His

377
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 1: Mormon and mind Lutheran. We've both struggled with faith, feeling

378
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 1: like it was an image thing and struggling to understand

379
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: the point of the messages. Most times, it's so hard

380
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: to sacrifice working to sit in church and not get

381
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: much from it. So two questions for you. Number one,

382
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: how do I handle or support my husband on his bad,

383
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: stressed out days? Number two, how do you know if

384
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: it's time to essentially throw away everything you've worked and

385
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: dreamed of for doing something else. Our work does allow

386
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: us to live in a beautiful place and raise our

387
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: kids the way we want to, but I desire to

388
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: have a stronger relationship with God. I feel so very

389
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: lost and confused. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Madison. Well,

390
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: this question is totally loaded, and there's so much in

391
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: this question. I mean, really, we could divide this question

392
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: to like four parts and it would be it could

393
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: be literally its own episode. And Madison, I appreciate your

394
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: vulnerability and appreciate you you open it up on something

395
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: that's it's probably difficult for you to discuss because you

396
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: have this life that you've built in a beautiful place,

397
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: raising your kids, as you say, the way we want to,

398
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: but you have this pull, this this desire. This is

399
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: something's not right, something is tearing you apart on the inside.

400
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: You can't quite settle it. It's like, I don't understand

401
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: why I have everything I want in the place I

402
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: wanted to have it. I've got the husband, yeah, he

403
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: has good and bad days. I've got the kids. Yeah

404
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: it could be a struggle. But for the most part,

405
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: this is what I sign up for. And yet don't

406
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: feel content and I'm not sure what it is right.

407
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: So that's what I want to talk about. I want

408
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: to dig into that feeling, Madison. I want to talk

409
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: about why you might be having that feeling. And number one,

410
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: right off the bat, you're not going to be able

411
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: to work seven days a week, long hours and then

412
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: have time to also have time for God and go, oh,

413
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: that's enough. I feel rest, I feel peace with God,

414
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: I feel like my faith is growing, and yet I

415
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: work seven days a week, long hours. That's absolutely impossible.

416
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: No matter who you are, and no matter what denomination

417
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: you are, Okay, no matter how you worship. That's a fact.

418
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: And then the other glaring thing we have to clarify

419
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: here is you being Lutheran and your husband being Mormon.

420
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: Those are not two different denominations that actually can work together.

421
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: And I have so many LDS friends that I love.

422
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,239
Speaker 1: I actually have a lot of Lutheran friends that I

423
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: dearly love. But those two are not denominations. In fact,

424
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: Lutherans are, but the LDS Church is a separate religion.

425
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: And listen, I love the LDS Church. I said, I

426
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: have so many friends. I've spend so much time that

427
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: the elders here in Georgetown are over at Amber and

428
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: I's house in my house quite a bit. So I understand.

429
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: I have a book of Mormon, I understand the doctrine,

430
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: but we need to understand that they are They're not

431
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: inherently Christian, even though they say they are. And I

432
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: say that with love, and I say this to my

433
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: Mormon friends. A Christian, inherently, an orthodox Christian is believing

434
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: that Jesus is the Son of God and the second

435
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: person of the Trinity. And if you don't affirm that,

436
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: then inherently you're not what we define as Christian. And

437
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: that's going to be a big problem when you're in

438
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: church and you're saying, I'm not getting anything out of it,

439
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: and your husband's go and I'm not either. And there's

440
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: this glaring elephant in the room that that we're talking

441
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: about a different God altogether. Now, this is a deep,

442
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: deep conversation, and I would be happy to get into

443
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: the nuts and bolts of this, of what I mean here,

444
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: And I promise you I'm not I'm not misunderstood. I'm

445
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: not missing something I haven't I'm not misinformed. I haven't

446
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: been taught wrong. I've studied a lot about this, and

447
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: and so, with all due respect, Madison, you're not It's

448
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: not gonna work this way. It's just not gonna work

449
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: this way, especially if you are saying, you know, I'm

450
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: so busy with work. I have long hours at work,

451
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: and I I'm kind of wondering if i should go

452
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: to church at all, because I'm not getting anything out

453
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: of it and I would rather spend that time working more.

454
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: You know, like that mentality is rushing you. And if

455
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: you don't, if you don't recognize that this is crushing

456
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: you right now, if you don't recognize that your spiritual

457
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: disciplines are completely out of shape, out of whack, then

458
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: I would go so far to say I don't think

459
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: you're Christian. I think you might just say you are.

460
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 1: And those of y'all that know me know that this

461
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: is something I preach from the heart all the time.

462
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: People that say they're Christians because of a heritage or

463
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: a culture, or because it's the right thing to do,

464
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: or because that's what you were raised to say, and

465
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: that's what people around you say. But when you go

466
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 1: to the Bible and you actually start reading what it

467
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: means to be a disciple, a follower of Jesus, you go, oh,

468
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that's me, especially the me that works

469
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: seven days a week, long hours and has a husband

470
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 1: from a different faith. Now, there is redemption in all

471
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: of this for both you and your husband, and neither

472
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: one of y'all are in a worse position than the

473
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: other from what it sounds like. But there is redemption,

474
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: and there is hope and there's restoration. There's healing in

475
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: all of this. But it will start with you emailing

476

490
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: She says, good morning, blessings from Dominican Republic. That's so cool,

491
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: Thank you, Anne Mendoza. Aunt said something really interesting when

492
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: we took that break, and I wish you would have

493
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: said it on the air, and so I'm gonna make

494
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: you say it on the air. But to my what

495
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: we call what I did, we would call that a

496
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: rebuke and a if you took that rebuke as offensive, Madison, right,

497
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 1: what'd you say if you were If your immediate response

498
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: is being offended, that might be your first sign that

499
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: what what Granger just said to you is true.

500
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: Because right now, of Granger, you looked at me and

501
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: said and I don't think you're a Christian.

502
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: First i'd know why we talk.

503
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: About it, and I'd be like, but you don't know.

504
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: What I had.

505
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: There's been a conversation, there's been many, many conversations between

506
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 2: me and christ and I've accepted and you go through

507
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: it's not yeah, there's a defense that pops up and

508
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 2: that's not offended. No, great shore I actually have. I've

509
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: accept now I might be wrong in this situation. That

510
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: might be true. Yeah, let's work through that, but it

511
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: doesn't mean I'm not saved.

512
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and right, And so that's the same for me.

513
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm open to rebuke as well from anybody, including the

514
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: comments right now. If you're like, hey, Granger, you're wrong.

515
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: If my first response to you're wrong is offense and

516
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm mad, then that's a huge red flag. Instead, I

517
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: should say, huh, let's dig. Let's dig into this, because

518
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: if you say I'm wrong, then I want to I

519
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: actually want to figure this out. You know, you guys

520
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: are amazing. Paul is actually watching. He said, this is awesome,

521

Speaker 1: has done. And you appreciate you, Bruce, Thank you man.

534
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: Mason says, is there any must stop places near Georgetown

535
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: when I'm there for ee E Day? Oh? That's cool.

536
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: So we talked about this on the Yee Apparel Live

537
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: a few days ago. It was two days ago. We

538
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: talked about the Red Poppy Fest is going on in

539
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: Georgetown at the time at the same time, so people

540
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: that come in from out of state to go to

541
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: Yee Day on April twenty sixth could make a weekend

542
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: of it and go to downtown Georgetown. They're going to

543
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: be having Red Poppy Fest easton Corbin's playing. It's a

544
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: free concerts, a free event, so you have to walk

545
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: around in the square. You kind of see our little town.

546
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 2: If you've watched the Israel videos, you'll know something special

547
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 2: about Red Poppy Fest in Georgetown's right?

548
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: And how about I don't want to give it away?

549
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 3: Wy don't you just go watch the Israel videos?

550
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was episode seven, I believe, Yes, Yeah, David

551
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: and Goliath was sick. Okay, Yeah, that's interesting. So yeah,

552
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: that's a good question, y'all? Answer? Should we jump into another?

553
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: Go for it? I guess this comes from Mary, and

554
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: Mary says, I just want to say how much I've

555
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: appreciated your book Like a River. It spoke volumes to

556
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: my heart. I'm going to order your book your other

557
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: book also as I love the tree scenario you told

558
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: in Like a River Love dismiss Arise in your podcast

559
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: two questions number one do you think you'll ever record

560
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: a gospel album? And number two where the name Wildflower

561
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: come from? So yeah, I'll answer number one. Number one,

562
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: I will never record a gospel album ever in my life.

563
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: And if you know anything about what I've been saying

564
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: this whole podcast is I am way past the kind

565
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: of person that begins to conclude that my life has definitives.

566
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: In fact, that Star Wars. For any Star Wars fans,

567
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: only a sith speaks in ebsolutes. I always tell Lincoln that,

568
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: He's like, I never want to do that, Dad, Like,

569
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: only a sith speaks in absolutes.

570
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 2: And this is the only place you can get quoted

571
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 2: Bible scripture and quoted movie.

572
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, see Star Wars quotes. You know, I think me

573
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: recording a gospel album is definitely on the table. It's

574
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: not like I'm not currently working on it, but I

575
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: am currently thinking about it. And Marshall and I have

576
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: talked a lot about it my pastor, and I think

577
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: that's that's absolutely something that that you might see from

578
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: me one day. But it would be probably in a

579
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,719
Speaker 1: way that you don't expect it, and it would probably

580
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: be in a way of reviving some old hymns that

581
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: are not as much talked about anymore, but the lyrics

582
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: are amazing and I bring them back in a new way.

583
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: Will Earl be on that? Maybe Earl next question. We

584
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: need to get Earl saved, right, That's what that's what

585
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: marv Oys tells me. We need to get Earl saved.

586
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: And then the name Wildflower, there's nothing special from that.

587
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: Actually didn't name that bus. And just like a ship.

588
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: Although I don't believe in luck, you guys know, I

589
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: don't believe in luck. You're not supposed to be bad

590
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: luck to rename a ship or an airplane or evidently

591
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: a tour bus as well. So when the bus is bought,

592
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: it's brand new. That person that buys it brand new.

593
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: And I believe this is the same with the ship

594
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: that first owner names it, or the same with an

595
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: airplane or a boat that first owner names it, and

596
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: then when you sell it, that name needs to go

597
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: with it, and then second owner should never change it.

598
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: That'd be bad. So Wildflower came from who's the guy

599
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: aunt that sings picking wildflowers? Anderson? Yep, that's what I've

600
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: got my head too, Keith Anderson. He had that song

601
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: picking wildflowers? That was his bussy bought at brand new

602
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: and probably went into extreme dead if I buying a

603
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: brand new bus like Wildflower, and then I got it

604
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: for about a tenth of the price that he probably

605
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: paid for it brand new. So that's where it came from.

606
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 1: We got a question here. Wait wait, that's not done.

607
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: It says one more thing. I missed it. It had

608
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: to scroll down. It says one more thing. The feet

609
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: of your little boy's rive and math must be as

610
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: tough as shoe leather. I cringe as they run through

611
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: sticks and rocks. Allright, what we're gonna say?

612
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: We got a yeah question here? Comments and remember you can.

613
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 3: You can just drop a comment with your question.

614
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: I will tell it here. Ye, life is still on here.

615
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: That's so cool. I thought those guys would be busier

616
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: than this. But but yeah, Chris says here, he says, hello.

617
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: The past three years, I've had a big life change,

618
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: and I've been leaning on a higher power and seeing

619
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: a positive positive in morning and nightly prayer, but struggling

620
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: to learn to learning more in religion. Any help? Yeah, man, Chris.

621
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to say, it's really cool

622
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: to answer a question when I know you're actually listening

623
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: right now this moment, Because in two hundred and thirty

624
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: episodes of doing this, I've always wondered, is the person

625
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: listening to me right now? Because they wrote this email

626
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: at another time, and Chris, I know you're listening to

627
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: me right now. And I would say this, if if

628
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 1: you believe that there is there is a higher power

629
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: and a higher religion that you could pray to, then

630
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: you would expect that that higher power, if you're praying

631
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: anonymously into the sky, he's not listening to you. Let

632
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: me say that with as much clarity as I can.

633
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: If you're praying to a sky god in the sky

634
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: with a big beard sitting on a cloud, the old

635
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: man upstairs, and you're throwing up a prayer saying, if

636
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: you're up there, old man that I don't know, anonymous

637
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: sky daddy, high power, will you answer me? He's not

638
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: listening to you. And I say that with so much respect.

639
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is, I don't mean

640
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: to say, get out of here, Chris. What I mean to.

641
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 2: Say is, Buddy, I want you to know that there's.

642
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: So much more, and that there is a personal God

643
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: and intimate God that's also creator, the King of Kings,

644
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: Lord of lords, sovereign over everything, providential, over all the

645
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: all the outer realms of the universe, and he seeks

646
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: to have an intimate relationship with you. And his name

647
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: is Jesus. It is not higher power or uh head

648
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: of all you know, the president of the Religion Association.

649
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: It is Jesus. There is one, and he is. He

650
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: is listening to you and your specificity to him. So

651
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 1: how do you know how do I know this? Well,

652
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: go to Chad, pat take and read podcona. I'm just

653
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: kidding them. What happened? I would say, Uh, Chris, go

654
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: to I would go to one of my sermons. Jan

655
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: can help you. Jan watches all the sermons. She can

656
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: help you in this chat here, if anyone could suggest

657
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: to Chad, maybe I could use you. Guys, suggest to

658
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: Chad a sermon that I have done in the past

659
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: that speaks to who God is and why it's important

660
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: to know who he is specifically. Instead of a higher power,

661
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: which is what AA teaches alcoholics, Anonymous teaches higher power spirituality,

662
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: King of religions type of thing.

663
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 3: There's Chad, female is that right?

664
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: Yeah? There? It is right there. So Chad will help

665
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: you with this question. He'll also help you find a

666
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: good local church in your area. Knowing who God is,

667
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: I'll say this last thing, knowing who God is is

668
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: is revealed. He has revealed who he is in the Bible.

669
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: So you can't really know who he is outside of

670
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: when the fact, that's for sure, you cannot know who

671
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: he is outside of the Bible at all. And so

672
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: whether that's a Bible, somebody's preaching it to you, or

673
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: you're hearing a sermon with Bible, or you're reading it,

674
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: or you're listening to it yourself, but there is no

675
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: way to know who he is other than the way

676
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: he has already revealed himself in his word. So we

677
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: moved to another one. This is so fun, guys doing

678
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: this live right now, and this will release on Monday

679
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,359

Speaker 1: ready to go. Here's a comment.

690
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 2: There's a lot eased that you like the.

691
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: Lives Yeah, another Chris says my fiancee. Fiance and I

692
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: are getting married on April thirteenth, twenty twenty four. Any

693
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: advice you can give us and also to me to

694
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: be a great husband. I'm nervous and scared that I'm

695
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: gonna mess something up somehow. Thanks again, Love from Indiana.

696
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: All right, April thirteenth, That is it's coming up quick, Okay.

697
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 1: So it goes without saying that to give you random

698
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: thirty second advice on how to be a great husband

699
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: is nearly impossible. But it is also impossible to be

700
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 1: a godly husband without treasuring Christ as your identity. So

701
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: here's what. Let me say this in the easiest way possible.

702
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: It's impossible to really understand marriage unless you're in a

703
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: relationship with the one who invented marriage himself. It's impossible

704
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: to be able to know what to do with your

705
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: heart without consulting the one that created your heart. And

706
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: that's just the simplest way to say it, Chris. If

707
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: you seek, if you seek God, you seek Christ, the

708
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: originator of marriage. Then going to him on how to

709
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: be that godly husband, that great husband, and you could

710
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 1: find as He's revealed in his word. Once again saying

711
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: this twice in a row. As you find how he

712
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: has revealed marriage and godly husband's in his word, you

713
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: follow that. You listen to where the Bible talks about

714
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 1: a godly husband, you follow that. Peter's a great example.

715
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: Peter's letters talks about being a godly husband. You follow

716
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: that to a t. You won't mess this up, and

717
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: there's nothing to be nervous about. You get outside of that,

718
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: you're in no man's land.

719
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 2: You hear that in I agree, Yeah, absolutely, I mean

720
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 2: you can get married. But you were asking about a

721
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 2: successful marriage and how to have a long lasting marriage,

722
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 2: and you absolutely have to know the source.

723
00:41:55,680 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, let's go this email. We have time for

724
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: an email, or you want to take a break. No,

725
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: let's be good. Adriana says, Hey, Granger Monk, fiance and

726
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,479
Speaker 1: I are getting married this August. Here we go. Both

727
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: of us are twenty or we're both twenty one. He'll

728
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: be twenty two by then, so in this day and

729
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: age standards, we're still pretty young to be getting married.

730
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: My question is how can we as a young Christian

731
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: couple prepare for our marriage aside from taking premarital counseling

732
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: that we are doing with my pastor. Additionally, what's some

733
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: advice you could give? Wow, this is like the same

734
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: question twice in a row. Thank you so much, love

735
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 1: the podcast. Ee ps, do you do private concerts? It

736
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,280
Speaker 1: would be so awesome to have you at my wedding.

737
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: I cannot promise that, Adriana, but I could tell you

738
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 1: that I think it's incredible that you're doing this premarital

739
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: counseling with your pastor. There's all kinds of premarital counseling

740
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: out there, but you want to do it with the

741
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: one who will be walking with you through the marriage itself.

742
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: And that's why people say, Granger, can you marry us? Granger,

743
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 1: can you baptize us? I'm like, I don't think that's

744
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: helpful because I don't get to walk with you in

745
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: life and affirm and be there in the struggles and

746
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: be there in the joys. So having your local pastor,

747
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: which if you don't have one, great time to start

748
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 1: at the beginning of a marriage or this time of year,

749
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: and then he gets to walk through years and babies

750
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: and other babies, lord willing and marital problems that will arise.

751
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: He gets to walk through that with the other elders,

752
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: and that way, you don't have to do this alone.

753
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: You could do it as you're being affirmed with the

754
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: local body as the way it was attended intended, you

755
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: get to you get to walk as a community. So

756
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: instead it's like Grader, I don't know, I'm gonna all

757
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: boy myself out here. I'm saying, you don't have to

758
00:43:52,480 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: do it by yourself. Well what do you think, an

759
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: We're we're a lot time to wrap it up in it. Yeah,

760
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: because I saw all the emails I have, it's a

761
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,200

793
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: to build this into where we could actually do it

794
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,080

795
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,480

796
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 1: we're like taking live questions and we have a live

797
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,279

802
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City is a good hub because it allows everyone

822
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: going through applications of the trucks that have applied for

823
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: the mud box, and he'd go boom and he put

824
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:29,479
Speaker 1: it up on the screen and we were like, oh,

828
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: competing in the mud box. It's going to be so fun.

829
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: That's really inspired by that, inspired all by MAV. I

830
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: remember sitting there with Maverick watching these mud bogs because

831
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: he loves to watch tractors and trucks and the mud.

832
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: Imagine that that's just like it's in his DNA and

833
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: he's watching this mud bog, and I was like, we

834
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: should do this ye day, Like enough of this, you know,

835
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 1: doing doing donuts in the field. We had actually do

836
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: a competition, so That's where all this came from.
