Speaker 1: Hey, guys, what's happening and what is up? Hold out
Speaker 1: your glass because I'm about to feel it. A happy
Speaker 1: Resurrection Sunday. He is alive and he is risen.
Speaker 2: Amen.
Speaker 1: This is the most important day to the Christian faith.
Speaker 1: Paul said, if the resurrection is not true and our
Speaker 1: entire faith is in vain, I wanted to share with
Speaker 1: you guys a collaboration I did with four other gentlemen
Speaker 1: on YouTube. This was a live stream on Good Friday,
Speaker 1: So shout out to Harley from Bigfoot Reports in DNA,
Speaker 1: Drewski from Cryptid Warfare, and Riley from Midwest Mythos. This
Speaker 1: was a great conversation where we share some knowledge nuggies
Speaker 1: that most Christians don't know about this day.
Speaker 2: We share the importance of.
Speaker 1: The feast and the Holy days and how it correlates
Speaker 1: to Christ and how throughout the entire Old Testament was
Speaker 1: pointing toward this day and toward this event.
Speaker 2: This was a great episode and.
Speaker 1: Christ, actually the Holy Spirit shows up and shows out
Speaker 1: and we end up breaking out the guitar and have
Speaker 1: some praise and worship towards the end.
Speaker 2: So, since it is.
Speaker 1: Resurrection Sunday, this is a day that we sit back
Speaker 1: and we reflect. If you're sitting around with some downtime
Speaker 1: with your family.
Speaker 2: Give this episode a listen.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it will bless you and bless the people
Speaker 1: around you that you share it with. So sit back, relax,

Speaker 1: I might just rock them year round. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I posted some pictures today. Having a podcast and YouTube,
Speaker 1: it gives me excuse to spend money on stupid, childish things,
Speaker 1: and you can call it wardrobes and accessories.
Speaker 2: I bought one of these hats.
Speaker 1: I bought a toilet paper roll hat. But you might
Speaker 1: be able to see it. I put it just for now.
Speaker 1: I put it on my nepheline skull back here in
Speaker 1: the corner, but it's got the toilet paper hanging down
Speaker 1: over the shoulder.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think.
Speaker 1: I bought a Leprechaun hat, like a top hat had
Speaker 1: the red beard attached to it, a Christmas tree hat,
Speaker 1: the Santa Claus hat with the lights on it. So
Speaker 1: I got some really fest of attire that I'll be
Speaker 1: rocking in the future.
Speaker 3: There you go, that's awesome. Well, Harley will hop in.
Speaker 3: When Harley hops in, he's got the link. He had
Speaker 3: some con of issues they had to go take care
Speaker 3: of prior. But yeah, so we're here to talk about Jesus.
Speaker 3: The resurrection and all sorts of things surrounding it. And
Speaker 3: this kind of just came up one day. I was
Speaker 3: listening to some music at work or something that I
Speaker 3: just was like, I gotta do something for Easter. I've
Speaker 3: been planning on doing something for Easter, and honestly, the
Speaker 3: first two pop people top popped in my head for
Speaker 3: you two, and I was like, all right, I gotta
Speaker 3: hit Doc up and I got to hit Drew Skie up.
Speaker 3: I was like, we're going to do something for Easter.
Speaker 3: I'm not quite sure what it is yet. Then Harley
Speaker 3: came in later that night, and here we are, and really,
Speaker 3: I don't think any of us really know what we're
Speaker 3: bringing to the table, like we've given each other a
Speaker 3: brief idea. But I think it's gonna be a lot
Speaker 3: of fun. I really think the Lord's gonna move tonight
Speaker 3: in this.
Speaker 4: Be good man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it'd be fun.
Speaker 1: We can talk about you know what Easter truly is,
Speaker 1: and h I found a lot of cool connections with
Speaker 1: the Jewish feasts and Holy days. I think if people
Speaker 1: is not aware of that, will kind of leave you
Speaker 1: awe struck man and draw you closer to God and
Speaker 1: give it give it a whole lot more of a
Speaker 1: closer feel, you know, of this holiday and the importance
Speaker 1: of it. And and like you said too, where this
Speaker 1: is a live thing for the people that join us.
Speaker 1: I'd love to incorporate them and get some of their
Speaker 1: their stories and testimonies, and maybe we'll get some some
Speaker 1: touching Easter stories, and maybe we'll get a few funny
Speaker 1: ones too. I'm not prejudiced against good funny blooper stories.
Speaker 3: Either, exactly. You know one more thing I want to
Speaker 3: say too. I mean, everybody's welcome here. So like if
Speaker 3: you're listening right now and you got somebody thinks so
Speaker 3: maybe then you hear it a little bit of Jesus,
Speaker 3: or they need a good laugh tonight, or you just
Speaker 3: want to have fun, hang out on the chat and
Speaker 3: stuff like that. Hit them up right now. Everybody's welcome.
Speaker 3: I don't care if you're Christian or not. I don't
Speaker 3: It's gonna be fun regardless, and you're gonna learn something
Speaker 3: because even if you don't believe or anything, or they
Speaker 3: don't believe, guess what, it's still the biggest, honestly, the
Speaker 3: biggest series of three days throughout history. There's nothing that
Speaker 3: compares to it.
Speaker 2: So I got the hiccups.
Speaker 3: You're all good, but.
Speaker 1: No, I totally agree. I mean, and Paul said it best.
Speaker 1: You know, if you're a Christian, this is the most
Speaker 1: imp orton uh holiday or day of our faith. If
Speaker 1: the if the resurrection is not true, then our entire
Speaker 1: faith is in vain.
Speaker 3: Exactly. Well, all right, I guess we should start out
Speaker 3: with maybe the fact what it what's taking place thousands
Speaker 3: of years ago that we are here talking about today.
Speaker 3: I think we should give everybody kind of a well
Speaker 3: brief rundown of what happened.
Speaker 4: I'll do a little just basically on a bunch of
Speaker 4: notes I was thinking. So I'll kind of wrap it up,
Speaker 4: and then I guess Doc you can go right after
Speaker 4: and do your thing too. Uh, I wrote down is
Speaker 4: basically all right, guys, So we all know Easter, but
Speaker 4: I personally call like Resurrection Day. And just like Doc said,
Speaker 4: this is like our freaking anthem, This is our this
Speaker 4: is like our bread and butter. Guys, this is what
Speaker 4: it's all about, all right, guys.
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: Okay, So the crucifixion of Jesus Christ holds a profound
Speaker 4: significance in Christianity. Okay. It is through his sacrificial death
Speaker 4: on the cross that Jesus provided redemption and atonement for
Speaker 4: the sins of humanity, as it says in the Book
Speaker 4: of John three sixteen. For God so loved the world
Speaker 4: he gave his only begotten said, and whoever believes in
Speaker 4: him shall not perish to have everlasting life through his
Speaker 4: death and resurrections. And Jesus conquered sin and death, offering
Speaker 4: salvation and the promise of eternal life to all who
Speaker 4: believe in him. The crucifixion demonstrates god immense love and
Speaker 4: mercy for his creation, as Jesus willingly laid down his
Speaker 4: life to reconcile humanity back to God.
Speaker 1: Amen in all fates, Man, they want you to sacrifice
Speaker 1: and give blood to their God and our faith, our
Speaker 1: God comes to us and bleeds for us. I mean,
Speaker 1: how beautiful and significant is that from any other religion
Speaker 1: of the world.
Speaker 3: And true To add on top of that, not only
Speaker 3: did it happen, but there for thousands of years, depending
Speaker 3: who you ask, beforehand, there was prophecy. There were signs
Speaker 3: that this day was coming. They were talking about it
Speaker 3: in the well. The whole story of Isaac and Abraham
Speaker 3: is a similar just a preview of what God is
Speaker 3: doing with Christ on the cross, you know, take him
Speaker 3: out to the wilderness. Just gotta trust God, Gotta trust God.
Speaker 3: You gotta trust God. He's going to send him out
Speaker 3: there to kill a son as a sacrifice to God,
Speaker 3: and then God brings the lamb instead.
Speaker 4: I agree. What I love about the Bible, man, is
Speaker 4: that God always leaves bread crumbs and trails on what's
Speaker 4: coming Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: The thing that blew my mind was I was reading
Speaker 4: about when not Noah but Moses, when he came in
Speaker 4: and he confronted Pharaoh and all that, and on the last,
Speaker 4: basically on the last thing that God did when he
Speaker 4: told his people, Hey, I need you guys to get
Speaker 4: fresh lambs blood and put it over the posts of
Speaker 4: the doors and on the sides. Right, if you look
Speaker 4: at it, lamb's blood, right. And if you look at
Speaker 4: where they put it, the right post, the left post,
Speaker 4: and the top, well, if they drenched it in blood,
Speaker 4: there's a lot of blood that drips down. If you
Speaker 4: step back and look at it. The Angel of Death
Speaker 4: wouldn't go in the would not pass that right. So hypothetically,
Speaker 4: if you look at it. Where were the nails hit
Speaker 4: where was the crown at? The crown was on the
Speaker 4: top of the doorway, and you got your right and
Speaker 4: left nails and the bottom nail, and this is where
Speaker 4: the spikes landed at. I'm sure you guys can't see
Speaker 4: it because basically it's the picture of Jesus in the
Speaker 4: doorway like that, and death cannot prevail that anymore. I
Speaker 4: just I just thought that was just that just blew
Speaker 4: my mind.
Speaker 3: That's awesome. I never like thought about it like that.
Speaker 4: I'm literally going to send this to you in text
Speaker 4: right freaking now, dude.
Speaker 1: And you guys can do screen shairs too, Like if
Speaker 1: you've got pictures or something like that you want to show,
Speaker 1: you can hit that screen chair button and pull it
Speaker 1: up that way. But one thing I thought was an
Speaker 1: interesting concept too, regarding what you were talking about, Drew.
Speaker 1: A lot of scholars postulate that this because it says
Speaker 1: in Exodus, you know that they were to do this
Speaker 1: as a to mar their door posts as a sign.
Speaker 1: And the Jewish mark in the Hebrew alphabet was the tav.
Speaker 1: And when you look at the tav and you go
Speaker 1: back to the original writing, they called it Paleo Hebrew,
Speaker 1: a tav was a cross, and in some of the
Speaker 1: depictions the cross, you know, was straight, and then some
Speaker 1: of it was just kind of tilted a little bit,
Speaker 1: not quite an X, just kind of a tilted cross.
Speaker 1: So they postulated that, you know, it says to put
Speaker 1: this mark of blood on the door post, that it
Speaker 1: was a tav, so quite literally, you know, they postulate
Speaker 1: that it could have been a bloody cross that was
Speaker 1: on the door post. I thought that that was pretty
Speaker 1: pretty wild, you know, whether it's true or not, but
Speaker 1: either way, I mean, it was a possibility. So a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of foreshadowings with that, and even
Speaker 1: in Exodus. He was foreshadowing and pointing to this event
Speaker 1: all the way back in Exodus. And when you go
Speaker 1: to the instructions of the tabernacle and the encampment, like
Speaker 1: you said, Drew, the God leaves breadcrumb trails that only
Speaker 1: in hindsight you can look back and see the significance,
Speaker 1: even something as simple as the numbering of the encampments
Speaker 1: and how they laid it out. You know, God was
Speaker 1: very specific and he says, you know, this tribe was
Speaker 1: to be at the left of the camp. This tribe
Speaker 1: was to be at the right of the camp you know,
Speaker 1: and it was laid out to the tee with the tabernacle.
Speaker 1: The hole is the holies in the center. And when
Speaker 1: you do that, imagine God up in the heavens looking
Speaker 1: down and it's nighttime. There's the only light is the
Speaker 1: camp fires of the tents. So you have literally this
Speaker 1: burning cross on the desert floor, and Sinai with the
Speaker 1: holiest of holies in the dead center, and the four
Speaker 1: tribes that were listed to be on the north, south,
Speaker 1: east west corners in Jacob's blessings of his sons. Those
Speaker 1: four tribes were compared to animals. One was a snake,
Speaker 1: one was an eagle, one just all these different animals.
Speaker 1: And when you look at those animals that they were
Speaker 1: compared to in those blessings, they correlate with constellations in zodiacs,
Speaker 1: and they line up perfectly like a mirrored image north, south, east,
Speaker 1: and west of the four corners of the Babylonian zodiac.
Speaker 1: So you have another on earth as it is in
Speaker 1: heaven imagery. And when you go into the day of Atonement,
Speaker 1: this was the day that the blood was sprinkled on
Speaker 1: the mercy seat for the atonement of sins. That was
Speaker 1: another foreshadowing, and so he would go in and the
Speaker 1: priest would sprinkle the blood in the center, and on
Speaker 1: that day the priest would verbally say the hidden name
Speaker 1: the tetragrammaton of God, and.
Speaker 2: That is Jodhavovha.
Speaker 1: And once again with the Paleo Hebrew, that looks like
Speaker 1: an arm, a nail and an arm. And so when
Speaker 1: you read that symbolically, it says, behold.
Speaker 2: The hand, behold the nail.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you have this burning cross on the floor
Speaker 1: side and God looking down on the day of atonement
Speaker 1: sprinkling blood on the mercy seat saying behold the hand,
Speaker 1: behold the nail. I mean, it's beautiful. Synchronicities.
Speaker 2: Wow, I love it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, learning something new every day. Man, Oh, I love it.
Speaker 4: Love it man.
Speaker 3: So well.
Speaker 4: The trip is every year I always. I don't know
Speaker 4: if I sent this to you Riley or not, but
Speaker 4: just going off of what he was saying on the
Speaker 4: bread crumbs and stuff. But I looked this up like
Speaker 4: years ago, but every year on Good Friday. It's kind
Speaker 4: of funny how we call it good but it was. Ah,
Speaker 4: there's my boy, what's up, buddy? Okay, okay, hold on
Speaker 4: real quick, buddy, Yeah, take over, real quick, over back on.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right.
Speaker 3: So I was looking at some stuff. Man, it's just
Speaker 3: about because there's been a lot of depictions, especially with
Speaker 3: all the new stuff coming out, and I haven't watched it,
Speaker 3: and my wife's going to be mad at me for
Speaker 3: even bringing it up because I never want to sit
Speaker 3: down and actually watch it. Like The Chosen I don't
Speaker 3: know if you've ever watched that, but they're getting I
Speaker 3: believe they're at the crucifixion now, like that's where it's at.
Speaker 3: The last three weekends, they've been dropping the three final
Speaker 3: parts or something like that. I was just thinking about,
Speaker 3: like all the descriptions and depictions of the battering that
Speaker 3: Christ went through before he even had to carry the
Speaker 3: cross up the mount and just after going through the
Speaker 3: scripture and just listen to some people break it down.
Speaker 3: Even in media like Passion of the Christ, I think
Speaker 3: does the best depiction of how much he actually got beaten,
Speaker 3: flayed and everything before he had to bare the cross.
Speaker 3: But the fact that they they'll never be able to
Speaker 3: actually show what Christ went through before right before his crucifixion,
Speaker 3: I don't think they'll ever be able to depict that
Speaker 3: in media, that he was beaten so badly that they
Speaker 3: could not tell if he was man or woman. That
Speaker 3: he had chunks of flesh falling off of him, his bones, organs,
Speaker 3: everything was exposed. And I think one of the things
Speaker 3: that we do on this holiday and this holy day
Speaker 3: is we kind of take it for granted. At least
Speaker 3: I know I did. Early on in my family. I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, Jesus got whipped thirty nine times, you know,
Speaker 3: just thinking all, he got hit with whip thirty nine times,
Speaker 3: not truly thinking about, oh, man, he is getting chunks
Speaker 3: ripped out of him. He's got this crown of thorns
Speaker 3: on him, and now he's got to carry this which
Speaker 3: most people think it's not that far. He's carrying this
Speaker 3: thing for miles. I can't tell you the exact distance
Speaker 3: he had to go. I can't remember it off the
Speaker 3: top of my head, you know what people theorize.
Speaker 4: But well, it's funny you say that because I looked
Speaker 4: up the scientific death of Jesus. Yeah, yeah, do you
Speaker 4: want to go ahead and finish?
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's I just got a little bit more
Speaker 3: I looking at it and just thinking about it just
Speaker 3: taking everything in today is I don't know a single
Speaker 3: person who would do that, just take all that beating
Speaker 3: just for another person. Man, I don't I don't let
Speaker 3: alone all of mankind, every single person. I don't know
Speaker 3: anybody that would do that. But our Lord did it
Speaker 3: for us.
Speaker 4: We're only that too, Like, would you even give up
Speaker 4: your son for people you don't know?
Speaker 3: I like to, I like to tell myself I would.
Speaker 3: But the reality is, you know, as as the one
Speaker 3: who wants to live as closely to Christ as possible,
Speaker 3: you know, but the reality is, and he knows. Christ
Speaker 3: knows this. That's why he had to do it, that
Speaker 3: nobody else could bear that. That's truly Yeah. I think
Speaker 3: that's something that like everybody should reflect upon these next
Speaker 3: couple of days, is what Christ really really went through
Speaker 3: for us.
Speaker 1: And you have Oh sorry, I was just gonna say,
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be blind faith. It's something I
Speaker 1: talk about on the show all the time. A lot
Speaker 1: of us as Christians, as you said, Riley, we take
Speaker 1: things for granted, and we're told these stories and things
Speaker 1: since we know we're little kids growing up in Sunday School,
Speaker 1: and after a while they you know, I know this
Speaker 1: sounds terrible, but if we're being honest, I mean, it
Speaker 1: gets monotonous and it's like, you know, yes, I know
Speaker 1: Jesus died on the cross. Yes, I know he he
Speaker 1: died and came back three days later. And you know
Speaker 1: John three sixteen, you know all that. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: and you take it for granted. But these things are real.
Speaker 1: These are things you know. You can see, you can taste,
Speaker 1: you can feel, you can touch, and when you do,
Speaker 1: I mean, it solidifies your faith. It draws you closer
Speaker 1: to God. It gives you that blessed assurance. And not
Speaker 1: only does it make you feel all good and bring
Speaker 1: you closer to God, it sharpens your your theological sword.
Speaker 1: It makes you better to defend your faith. And you
Speaker 1: don't you don't fit that stereotype of that that dumb
Speaker 1: Christian that just believes in crazy things. Now you know,
Speaker 1: you may still be dumb, and you still may believe
Speaker 1: in crazy things, but you have your evidence and good
Speaker 1: reasoning and can back up and defend your faith.
Speaker 2: And one of those receipts.
Speaker 1: Is that the Shroud of tru And for me, a
Speaker 1: lot of people you know, think that that's not real
Speaker 1: or that's fague, you know, and you can believe you
Speaker 1: want to believe. But I actually had Barry Schwartz on
Speaker 1: my show before he died. I was blessed to speak
Speaker 1: with this man. And he is the man that went
Speaker 1: over there and studied this thing. He's had his hands
Speaker 1: on this shroud, He's examined it tooth and nail, and
Speaker 1: anybody's not seen that. I highly encourage you go to
Speaker 1: my channel find that look that up. This is a
Speaker 1: Jewish man, and he says it outright on my program.
Speaker 1: I went to prove this thing a fake and expose it,
Speaker 1: he said, because I'm Jewish, he said. Number one, you know,
Speaker 1: he said, we don't think Christ was the Messiah. He said,
Speaker 1: soh I have no emotional or religious ties to this thing,
Speaker 1: he said. And if I can prove it wrong, I
Speaker 1: can make my faith proud, he said. And I made it,
Speaker 1: he said, I made this really stupid comment before we went,
Speaker 1: he said, the CNN and all the big news organizations,
Speaker 1: he said, interviewed all of us that were going over there,
Speaker 1: he said. And I took it as an opportunity to
Speaker 1: grant stand he said, And I said, now I give
Speaker 1: us five minutes in the room. With this thing, and
Speaker 1: we'll prove it a fraud and we'll be back home
Speaker 1: before dinner, he said. So I went over there with
Speaker 1: ulterior motives to prove this thing wrong, he said, and
Speaker 1: I couldn't, he said. I come back, he said. Now
Speaker 1: I'm still professing Jew, he said. So I don't think
Speaker 1: you know he was the Messiah, he said, But I
Speaker 1: can tell you this, he said. I think that that
Speaker 1: cloth was the burial cloth of the historical man known
Speaker 1: as Jesus Christ that the scriptures are talking about, he said.
Speaker 1: And every single thing on that cloth documents and collaborates
Speaker 1: the gospels that we find the New Testament, he said,
Speaker 1: to the crown of thorns, to the lashes and stripes
Speaker 1: on his back, to his age, his description uh the
Speaker 1: piercing in the side, he said. Everything matches to the
Speaker 1: t he said, and even found pollens on it that's
Speaker 1: only indigenous to Israel, he said. There is not a
Speaker 1: doubt in my mind that this was the historically documented
Speaker 1: man known as Jesus of Nazareth.
Speaker 7: What's up, Early, Hey, I'm here, I'm here.
Speaker 8: I've learned fashionably like, fashionably like, but I'm glad to
Speaker 8: be here and be a part of this, you know,
Speaker 8: and just spread God's word. You know, it's it's just
Speaker 8: one of those things that you know, it's it's our
Speaker 8: mission as Christians, you know, to spread the Gospel and
Speaker 8: you know, if we can touch somebody's heart tonight, that's
Speaker 8: the biggest thing.
Speaker 4: I turned for on that man, going brother, going back
Speaker 4: to what you're saying, doctor, one hundred percent of grief
Speaker 4: you man, and just really digging into your words into
Speaker 4: the Bible. Also off of that too, just digging in,
Speaker 4: like I said, going back to the whole science of it.
Speaker 4: They had a lot of people that were working dead bodies,
Speaker 4: guys who are working morgues and stuff like that, and
Speaker 4: doctors that worked people who were dead. And they even
Speaker 4: pulled doctors from Israel and people who study Roman times
Speaker 4: right on how the crucifix worked on criminals and stuff.
Speaker 4: And this totally definitely made me in my heart. It
Speaker 4: definitely made me realize, like, you know what, Andrew you are,
Speaker 4: You are definitely slacking when it comes to I basically
Speaker 4: just making just not making this like a big deal.
Speaker 4: And anyways, you know, the whole scientific death that Jesus
Speaker 4: was okay, so at age thirty three, he was condemned
Speaker 4: to death. We all know that the crucifix and was
Speaker 4: the worst death possible. Okay. So each nail was six
Speaker 4: to eight inches long, okay, and it was driven into
Speaker 4: his risks okay, and his palms were commonly portrayed. But
Speaker 4: there's a tendon in your wrist that extends to your shoulder, okay,
Speaker 4: and the Roman guards knew that. So when the nails
Speaker 4: were being hammered into his wrist, the tendon would tear
Speaker 4: and break and force Jesus to use his back and
Speaker 4: muscles to support himself that he could breathe. And what's
Speaker 4: nuts is that his back was ripped open. We all
Speaker 4: know that it's defile. He just ripped open the splinters
Speaker 4: and everything that were just digging into him. With each
Speaker 4: breath he would take. He basically, in my opinion, he
Speaker 4: basically died of suffocation and blood loss and all that.
Speaker 4: But both of his feet were nailed. Thus he was
Speaker 4: forced to basically to support himself on a single nail
Speaker 4: that impaled his feet to the cross. And you know,
Speaker 4: Jesus couldn't support himself of course with his legs because
Speaker 4: of the pain you know that was forced between arch
Speaker 4: and his back and all that, and also Jesus endured
Speaker 4: the reality for over three hours, man, and that's nuts.
Speaker 4: And the whole time line of it from the last
Speaker 4: Supper all the way till he basically till he till
Speaker 4: he took his last breath, guys. And yeah, so that
Speaker 4: just totally just blew my mind. And going back to
Speaker 4: what you said, Harley on how long he carried the
Speaker 4: cross for all these were without mentioning that the humiliation
Speaker 4: he suffered after carrying his own cross for almost one
Speaker 4: and a half miles okay, while the crowd spat on
Speaker 4: his face, threw stones at him, and the cross was
Speaker 4: basically almost weighed in between like two hundred and three
Speaker 4: hundred pounds okay, and you know also like sorry, I'm
Speaker 4: amost done. And then Jesus endured the whole experience that
Speaker 4: way your sins and my sins can be washed away. Dude,
Speaker 4: this is a big deal, man, it is.
Speaker 3: And just throw a little thing out there. I had
Speaker 3: a pastor point out to me a while ago, was,
Speaker 3: you know, we think of and it's it's just because
Speaker 3: it's what we see all the time. We think of
Speaker 3: the cross us as you know, this is a metal
Speaker 3: one but you know it's that smooth, nice straight this wood.
Speaker 3: Jesus at this point already has his intestines hanging out
Speaker 3: of him, flesh everything, his genitals and stuff have been
Speaker 3: ripped off of him. Yes, and then that now he's
Speaker 3: got this two to three hundred pound cross made of
Speaker 3: splintered wood that is not only rubbing. I can't even
Speaker 3: I don't even know if you can call it being
Speaker 3: rubbed raw at that point when you're already stripped down
Speaker 3: to the bone, but he's carrying all this. People are,
Speaker 3: like you said, people are spitting at him, throwing stuff
Speaker 3: at him. The pain is any any mere mortal, anybody
Speaker 3: besides God himself in the flesh could not do that.
Speaker 3: I don't you could. You could take this strong man
Speaker 3: and you take Eddie Hall somebody like that. They wouldn't
Speaker 3: even be able to make it to lift up the cross.
Speaker 4: You know, Well, what was the trip was a Jim
Speaker 4: Cavisa was being interviewed and they he wore basically the
Speaker 4: guy who played Jesus on the Fashion He wore like
Speaker 4: this bodysuit and they literally used pretty close to like
Speaker 4: cat's cat, like a cattail with whatever, but a little
Speaker 4: piece kind of nicked his skin and that and that
Speaker 4: he said, he's like, dude, I freaking passed out because
Speaker 4: it hurt so bad. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And that was and what was crazy is
Speaker 2: the cruise.
Speaker 1: The crucifixion was you know, a very painful, slow death.
Speaker 1: It was designed for the worst of criminals, the worst,
Speaker 1: and all the people died that they died of suffocation.
Speaker 1: And it was a slow, painful death because you're you're
Speaker 1: laid up there and all your weight and everything is
Speaker 1: just collapsing on. Your lung was kinched over so that
Speaker 1: you can't even breathe, and like you said, Drew, to
Speaker 1: get a breath, you would have to put all the
Speaker 1: weight of your body on those nails in your feet
Speaker 1: and stand just to raise your body straight to take
Speaker 1: a breath. And that's why the Roman legion was so
Speaker 1: surprised that he died. You know, three hours. That's a
Speaker 1: long time to be sitting up there to us, But
Speaker 1: as far as a Roman crucifixion is concerned, that is
Speaker 1: very short. They you know, typically they would live three
Speaker 1: to four days. I think they even had documents where
Speaker 1: some of them lived close to a week. It was
Speaker 1: a slow painful death. Well, finally you just gave up
Speaker 1: the strength and will to stand up to take that breath.
Speaker 1: And he died within three hours because you know how
Speaker 1: scripture says, you know, no one took his life. He
Speaker 1: gave it and at the end he gave up the
Speaker 1: ghost as the scripture says exactly.
Speaker 8: That just that just unfathomable pain and suffering that he
Speaker 8: went through. And you know, it's just a lot for us,
Speaker 8: you know, because you know, yeah, we kind of take
Speaker 8: it for granted, you know, but at the end of
Speaker 8: the day, he bled and suffered and died for us
Speaker 8: and came back three days later.
Speaker 7: And that's just the.
Speaker 8: Biggest, the biggest thing, you know, that showed that the
Speaker 8: blood is alive.
Speaker 2: Mm. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And one thing I found too, guys, uh, that was
Speaker 1: really uh really powerful to me was again going back
Speaker 1: to Exodus. You know, this was a uh foreshadowing, and
Speaker 1: we we talked about that mark, you know, in the
Speaker 1: blood on the door and how that could have possibly
Speaker 1: been across you know, because the tav was that was
Speaker 1: that cross or that slightly tilted cross in the original
Speaker 1: Paleo Hebrew. But one thing that I had found was
Speaker 1: Exodus chapter four and verse seventeen. Uh, we see this
Speaker 1: the rod of Moses, and he's told to use this
Speaker 1: as a sign, the same you know word. And this
Speaker 1: Hebrew word is in English O w t because in
Speaker 1: the Hebrew you don't have you know, vowels, it's just
Speaker 1: a consonant language. And so that's alph vov toav in
Speaker 1: that scenario, aliph being the first letter of the alphabet,
Speaker 1: toav being the last. And many times he says in
Speaker 1: scripture that he is the first, he is the last.
Speaker 1: And when you get that into the Greek, that's where
Speaker 1: you get your alpha and omega, you know, the beginning
Speaker 1: and the end. But that passover, his people were commanded
Speaker 1: to take the passover Lamb's blood and mark the door posts,
Speaker 1: and it says specifically as we said earlier, but as
Speaker 1: a sign. But what's crazy is when you go back
Speaker 1: to the original languages that verse, that word is spelled differently.
Speaker 1: It's not alpha of tav or owt with the English
Speaker 1: and that scenario, it's alph tav. So when you go
Speaker 1: to the Paleo Hebrew, the alph was a bull, so
Speaker 1: it symbolized God. That was the symbol for God. And
Speaker 1: then you had tav, which was this cross so symbolically
Speaker 1: right there, This was God to the cross, even when
Speaker 1: they were talking about it in Exodus. So I thought
Speaker 1: that that was really powerful too, even singling Black back
Speaker 1: then that the blood of the Alpha in Omega would
Speaker 1: bring the redemption of the world. And then Revelation chapter twelve,
Speaker 1: verse eleven says they overcame by the blood of the lamb.
Speaker 7: Amen it is.
Speaker 1: It's all. It's all inspiring.
Speaker 3: It does.
Speaker 1: It just makes you just sit back and reflect.
Speaker 7: It definitely does. It does. That's wild. Thanks for that.
Speaker 8: Like that just puts a whole new context on everything
Speaker 8: you know. It makes you go even deeper into everything
Speaker 8: about it.
Speaker 5: Hm.
Speaker 1: And uh, if it'll let me, I want to do
Speaker 1: a screen share and show you this. This is another
Speaker 1: uh original language take back here. Let's see who do screen.
Speaker 2: H Uh, let's see.
Speaker 1: I'll just share this when this is my my getting
Speaker 1: to peek at my notes. So hopefully I can drag
Speaker 1: this over and of course I can't hang on. Let
Speaker 1: me try to close this if you'll let me exit
Speaker 1: full screen. There we go. Now I can drag it
Speaker 1: over all right, Oh, I ain't doing it. You can't
Speaker 1: see it, can you?
Speaker 2: My picture you.
Speaker 3: Might have to click it like the screenshare thing. Now
Speaker 3: that you have the other one open, it should like
Speaker 3: give you an option for both tabs.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see, let's stop. Now we'll do it again.
Speaker 1: Technology here it is.
Speaker 3: It can't deal without it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Now this is the name plate. So anytime they had
Speaker 1: a crucifixion, this was basically like your charge papers. They
Speaker 1: would place this plaque either at blow your feet or
Speaker 1: above your head, so that way people passing by could
Speaker 1: see what your name was and what your charge was.
Speaker 1: And the scripture tells us that it said Jesus of Nazareth,
Speaker 1: King of the Jews, and that it was written in Greek, Aramaic,
Speaker 1: and in Hebrew. That way, all the three major languages
Speaker 1: of that region were covered, and no matter what language
Speaker 1: you spoke, you knew what this guy's name was and what.
Speaker 2: His charges were.
Speaker 1: Well, the scripture tells us, and this is something that
Speaker 1: you look over if you're not steeped into the Jewish
Speaker 1: lore of the beliefs and just the culture of that time.
Speaker 1: So they had this thing where like in the Old English,
Speaker 1: the Old English Bibles, you have these drop caps, and
Speaker 1: that's the very first letter of a book, and it's
Speaker 1: usually really big. It has twisty, curly letters, and it's
Speaker 1: inside a box and it's really pretty in the Old English,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people just think that's decorative. Well
Speaker 1: that's not decorative. That they were copying the Hebrews. And
Speaker 1: what that was is that served as like a headline
Speaker 1: on a newspaper. So, for instance, the Book of Genesis,
Speaker 1: the very first Hebrew letter is a bet, and a
Speaker 1: bet looks like a squire box but twisting and curling
Speaker 1: into itself, And that Hebrew letter symbolized something, just like
Speaker 1: I talked about the bull symbolized God. The bet was
Speaker 1: a symbol for home. So anyone reading the Book of
Speaker 1: Genesis when they seen that bet really big at the
Speaker 1: very first of Genesis, it was like a headline of
Speaker 1: a newspaper. It was telling the reader, this book is
Speaker 1: about home. So that was very important. It was kind
Speaker 1: of like this encoded type culture thing. So when we
Speaker 1: read about this nameplate being made, we just kind of
Speaker 1: look over it because it says in there that when
Speaker 1: Pilot made the nameplate that the Jews and Pharisees immediately
Speaker 1: become upset and they said, no, no, no, you must
Speaker 1: change this, and the Pilot's like, what was the big deal.
Speaker 1: He's like, no, no, no, put rather that he said
Speaker 1: he was King of the Jews, or he claimed to
Speaker 1: be King of the Jews, and they were really upset
Speaker 1: about this. They you know, they pleaded with Pilots to
Speaker 1: change it, and Pilot just you know, basically looks at
Speaker 1: him and says, huh, I have written what I have
Speaker 1: written and walks away. So to us reading that today,
Speaker 1: we're like, I ain't no big deal. They just, you know,
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure that everybody knew he wasn't truly
Speaker 1: the king, you know, no big deal. But if you
Speaker 1: take that context that I just talked about with the
Speaker 1: drop caps, the first letter being a symbol for something
Speaker 1: so and they would use this also to encode things.
Speaker 1: So when you take this picture I just pulled up,
Speaker 1: look at the and Hebrew reads backwards. We read from
Speaker 1: left to right. They read from right to left. So
Speaker 1: what's this letter right here? That's a yode? What's this
Speaker 1: next one? Vov yo or hey sorry yode, hey vov hey.
Speaker 2: It's the Tetragramaton. It's the name of God.
Speaker 1: That's why they were so upset, because they were killing
Speaker 1: this man because he claimed to be God in the flesh,
Speaker 1: but even his name plate proclaimed him to be. Now,
Speaker 1: tell me that ain't mind blowingly amazing.
Speaker 7: Mh that just gave me goosebump. It's not gonna lie.
Speaker 3: Same here, same here.
Speaker 1: His cross proclaimed him to be God.
Speaker 3: M m m.
Speaker 7: That's that's amazing.
Speaker 1: I mean I've known about that for a while. I've
Speaker 1: talked about that for a while. That still gets me
Speaker 1: choked up.
Speaker 9: Man, I got goosebumps, a slap in the face of
Speaker 9: the ignorance of those people that have been waiting for
Speaker 9: God this entire time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and he was right there with them.
Speaker 1: Right there in their face, and they rejected him. And
Speaker 1: then he even had the I had the heart to say,
Speaker 1: why he's sitting there taking these last breaths, forgive them, Father,
Speaker 1: I don't know that what they do, Yea.
Speaker 3: That that does play so much more significance to that
Speaker 3: when he is crying out to the Father forgive them,
Speaker 3: for they know not what they have done.
Speaker 10: And it's yeah, wow, Yeah.
Speaker 7: That's that's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: One of the things that I was going to bring up,
Speaker 3: but actually it does tie into this is this is
Speaker 3: probably something people realize all the time, and it's just
Speaker 3: something that it came to me, because reality is, I've
Speaker 3: only believed in Christ for four years now. But the
Speaker 3: two the two men I'm crucified next to him, is
Speaker 3: really more than just two dudes crucified next to him.
Speaker 3: The man to his left who denies him, you know,
Speaker 3: if you're the Lord, if you actually are the Messiah,
Speaker 3: you know, bring us down and do whatever you need
Speaker 3: to to get us out of here and alive, you know,
Speaker 3: denying him and stuff. But then the man who is right,
Speaker 3: who's like you know, you are the Misside, you know,
Speaker 3: remember me when you get to your kingdom, is really
Speaker 3: just as well as I mean, I don't want to
Speaker 3: say this wrong and people like clip it out of context,
Speaker 3: but it's a metaphor in itself of our journeys in
Speaker 3: our relationship with Christ. Because we are born into sin,
Speaker 3: we so no matter what, like, we all have that
Speaker 3: point in us that denies Christ as the Savior, you know,
Speaker 3: whether we know it or not, you know, if we
Speaker 3: choose to acknowledge it or not, we are all we
Speaker 3: have all been that person. But if we profess that
Speaker 3: he is the Lord, they is, he will not only
Speaker 3: remember us in his kingdom, he will bring us into it.
Speaker 3: So it's will. I look at that, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: because people like to give the person on the left,
Speaker 3: I can't remember them. I'm awful with names, but they
Speaker 3: love to give Christian sure love to give that dude
Speaker 3: a lot of crap. And I'm not saying he you know,
Speaker 3: I don't know what happened to him, you know, I'm
Speaker 3: not Jesus, I don't know. I'm not the judge, you know.
Speaker 3: But people like to say, oh, this person is awful,
Speaker 3: and you know what they may be, you know, but
Speaker 3: he we've all been there, we are all in those shoes. Yes,
Speaker 3: we've all been there. But we can also be the
Speaker 3: ones that say, christ I forgive me and I want
Speaker 3: this relationship with you, and I want to be with
Speaker 3: you and your kingdom, especially when you bring it back,
Speaker 3: you know. So that's just something I like to think
Speaker 3: about and talk about every once in a while. Is
Speaker 3: that because as Doc and I have talked about when
Speaker 3: we did our little episode together, there's a lot of
Speaker 3: pair say Christians that like to throw the stones and
Speaker 3: don't let the stones being thrown back at them, or
Speaker 3: they don't want they don't want to think of people
Speaker 3: as being able to be saved. They don't believe this
Speaker 3: person can have salvation when reality is each and every
Speaker 3: one of us can achieve salvation, you know, through Christ.
Speaker 4: I agree. You know, Christ died for everybody, everybody. And
Speaker 4: that's one thing that my pastor brings up for all
Speaker 4: the military guys out there. This one kind of a
Speaker 4: law enforcement. This one put me in a check. Like
Speaker 4: Christ died for the pedophile. Christ died for the guys
Speaker 4: who are in Isis. Christ died for the guys who
Speaker 4: were in Alkaida stuff like that. You know, it's like,
Speaker 4: oh gosh, yeah he did. You know, what the hell,
Speaker 4: what the hell? What kind of Christians? I Western kind
Speaker 4: of Christian who thinks highly of himself. Dude, he Christ
Speaker 4: died for everybody, everybody.
Speaker 7: It's like a gang. Yeah, yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 4: That's a TOUGHI.
Speaker 7: It is, it is, it is.
Speaker 8: You know, it's you know, it's a God knows us
Speaker 8: before we're even born, you know, like we're all made
Speaker 8: in his image, you know, and it's up it's up
Speaker 8: to us, you know, to spread the gospel and spread
Speaker 8: the word, and especially this time of year, you know,
Speaker 8: it's it's so meaningful, you know, just just for.
Speaker 7: Those that just are you know, on the edge about
Speaker 7: all this.
Speaker 8: It's think of the pain and the suffering that happened
Speaker 8: to him, and you know, it's just it just eats
Speaker 8: me alive, man, because like people take it for granted,
Speaker 8: and it's like he bled and died for you, and.
Speaker 7: It's just it's it's it's powerful.
Speaker 8: It's a very very powerful event that happened in our time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And one of the things too is uh I
Speaker 2: did a show.
Speaker 1: Uh with Heidi Love.
Speaker 2: And uh uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Heidi Love Shout Out and uh uh with the
Speaker 1: Kevin with the Where the Wild Ones Are and Brad
Speaker 1: with the Awakened podcast and we did like a a
Speaker 1: deep dive on the history of Easter, and of course,
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about the all the pagan stuff
Speaker 1: associated with you know, astroots and a starte and Nanah
Speaker 1: the Queen of Heaven uh and how no matter where
Speaker 1: you go, it's the same story, same entity, just a
Speaker 1: different name to throw to it. And you know, during
Speaker 1: this time, this was you know, the spring equinox, when
Speaker 1: everything that was dead what was coming to life, and
Speaker 1: so it was a lot of fertility rituals and the
Speaker 1: sex rights of the temple prostitutes of starte getting pregnant
Speaker 1: and then taking their three month old babies and sacrificing
Speaker 1: them and using the blood to paint the eggs, and
Speaker 1: that's where we get the eggs from.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And there's always this unholy trinity, you know, mocking the
Speaker 1: heavenly Trinity. And with all of them, there's always a
Speaker 1: dying and resurrecting God. You know, some theologians call it
Speaker 1: the corn King because there's so many corn kings that
Speaker 1: you know, die in resurrect during the spring. And a
Speaker 1: lot of non believers and atheists will use that against
Speaker 1: our faith and against this holiday and say, well, here
Speaker 1: you go. You know, Jesus is just another corn king.
Speaker 1: You know, He's just another dying and resurrecting God. It's
Speaker 1: a carbon copy, just another version of it. So therefore
Speaker 1: your faith is bunk. And I think that that is
Speaker 1: a you know, just terrible theology, because if you go
Speaker 1: to the Bible, you know, what does it tell you.
Speaker 1: You know, Genesis sixth that the sons of God came
Speaker 1: down and bred with the daughters of men. They were
Speaker 1: kicked out of heaven and they traded their first estate
Speaker 1: and came down, and so of course you're going to
Speaker 1: get their story, their version they're telling first, because they
Speaker 1: were here first. They were kicked out first. The first
Speaker 1: of anything isn't the best. You know, if you take
Speaker 1: that theology, everybody would be driving around in Ford model
Speaker 1: t's right now. But you know, just because its first
Speaker 1: doesn't make it true. And if you go with the
Speaker 1: chronological timeline of the Bible, yeah, they were kicked out
Speaker 1: of heaven and left the first estate. So therefore, these
Speaker 1: quote unquote gods were here first, So you're going to
Speaker 1: get their story first. And I think that these guys
Speaker 1: knew part of the plan, but not the whole plan.
Speaker 1: So to try to get in front of it and
Speaker 1: do like a disinformation campaign imitated becoming Messiah to try
Speaker 1: and thwart his coming. And we see that with a demoniac.
Speaker 1: When Jesus was going up to that demon possessed man
Speaker 1: that had the demon called Legion because with them were many,
Speaker 1: he was freaking out. He knew who he was, and
Speaker 1: he said, if you come to cast us out before
Speaker 1: our time, So that shows you that they know the plan,
Speaker 1: they don't know all the details in the exact timing.
Speaker 1: But they know the plant, so they come down here
Speaker 1: and try to mess up that plan and thwart that plan.
Speaker 2: But God.
Speaker 1: Allowed them to do that because you know Romans ate
Speaker 1: I think it is. I know it's Romans for sure,
Speaker 1: but it says all bad things that they will try
Speaker 1: to use for harm. God turns for the glory of
Speaker 1: those who love him. And this ultimately they shot themselves
Speaker 1: in the foot. The thing they were trying to do
Speaker 1: to make other people be like, ah, this is another
Speaker 1: corn king. It sounds like all the other stories. So
Speaker 1: therefore I'm just going to reject it. No, it worked
Speaker 1: in God's favor because it was a more familiar story
Speaker 1: and they were more prone to accept it. So once
Speaker 1: again they shot themselves in the foot. Just as Paul
Speaker 1: said with the crucifier. He said, if they would have
Speaker 1: known killing the Lord of Glory would have done what
Speaker 1: it done, then they would not have crucified the Lord
Speaker 1: of Glory. And we see God go down and smear
Speaker 1: the victory in their faces. Because when you go into
Speaker 1: First Peter, what was it say about this event? It
Speaker 1: says when Christ died, he descended into Hell, and he
Speaker 1: proclaimed victory over the spirits in prison. And I know
Speaker 1: some people want to say, oh, well that was the
Speaker 1: patriarchs that died before the coming of Christ. No, it's
Speaker 1: talking about people in prison. He's proclaiming victory over them.
Speaker 1: And yeah, and in that same context it talks about
Speaker 1: the sins of Noah and the Great Flood. It's referencing
Speaker 1: these Genesis six fallen angels. So he's saying, yeah, you
Speaker 1: guys want veneration, and you want food laid out for you,
Speaker 1: and all these necromantic ritual was to try to resurrect
Speaker 1: you and get you out of here. Uh, you're stuck, daddy.
Speaker 1: You ain't going nowhere. But hey, hold my beer and
Speaker 1: watch this because in three days I'm getting out of here.
Speaker 4: Yeah into wine.
Speaker 2: You hold my wine.
Speaker 4: I'm a piggyback off of that what you said. Doc
Speaker 4: also too, man, they totally screwed up again. To me,
Speaker 4: it's almost like a chess match. God is like five
Speaker 4: steps ahead of these ahead of these punks, dude, you know,
Speaker 4: talking to talking to Gary Wayne and then Derek Gilbert too,
Speaker 4: they also brought it up. It was also like a
Speaker 4: DNA war too. They knew something was coming. So just
Speaker 4: like in Genesis six, you know, they raped the women
Speaker 4: had an FM talk them seven Sacred sciences. But what
Speaker 4: they were talking about was this was this was really cool,
Speaker 4: was that they figured, Hey, if we totally interject and
Speaker 4: we make these people basically worship us as gods also
Speaker 4: we interjected, we totally, we totally defiled the DNA of
Speaker 4: what God created into these people. By the time whoever
Speaker 4: He sends whoever down here, he can't be fully man
Speaker 4: So when God looked at Noah's family, of course you
Speaker 4: know they were they were followers of him, but they
Speaker 4: were also pure as well. So I just thought that
Speaker 4: was interesting.
Speaker 2: Oh, where's done.
Speaker 3: Cameras?
Speaker 7: Yeah, huishing cameras.
Speaker 4: There's one thing I want to bring up before I
Speaker 4: got to go off. I actually have to go put
Speaker 4: my son to bed. Talking to one of my buddies, Ishmael.
Speaker 4: He used to be in the IDF in israel I.
Speaker 4: I never knew this, but he's like, if you look
Speaker 4: at the scriptures and if you look at Israeli culture,
Speaker 4: he said, when Jesus folded his robes right when he
Speaker 4: left the tomb, okay, there's a little significance to that.
Speaker 4: According to Jewish culture. He said that if you're if
Speaker 4: it basically, if you're eating out somewhere, or if eating
Speaker 4: out of family member's place, right, according to Jewish culture,
Speaker 4: if you're done and you're not coming back, you basically
Speaker 4: crumble up your napkin and you throw it on your
Speaker 4: plate and you walk away.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: If you got to go to the bathroom and you're
Speaker 4: gonna come back, you fold your napkin and you put
Speaker 4: it on your plate. So it was a reference to
Speaker 4: Jesus a state and I'm coming back. I just was like,
Speaker 4: whoa ah, there's doc.
Speaker 1: Yeah, had to do somethanagling.
Speaker 4: Anyways. Yeah, but guys, that's all I got. I gotta
Speaker 4: go put my on the bed.
Speaker 7: So love you guys, and love you too. Brother. You drew.
Speaker 1: About to go squatching folks.
Speaker 4: All right, I'm out.
Speaker 1: Blew the lid off of it with all all four people.
Speaker 3: Watching, I hate I am one of the four. I'm
Speaker 3: my second monitor.
Speaker 1: I got on my phone too, So I think we
Speaker 1: got to. We probably truly got to. Sister Max is
Speaker 1: here with us. She's one of my rider dies man.
Speaker 7: Here.
Speaker 1: I told her, I said, it's a good thing you're
Speaker 1: not in Tennessee.
Speaker 2: Max. I would probably try to, uh wife you down.
Speaker 3: Oh you know what, let's take a second to acknowledge
Speaker 3: everybody that's been hanging out. You know, we got the
Speaker 3: Lost Sheep Ministry, thank you, thank you for coming hanging out.
Speaker 3: Got my wife, Erica, she's been hanging out, Gabrielle. That
Speaker 3: is true. When you think of all that he's done
Speaker 3: for us and still forgive our sins, it does make
Speaker 3: you appreciate everything you have ten times more. So, like
Speaker 3: with so part of I guess we can like through
Speaker 3: we said, we're going to throw our testimonies and stuff
Speaker 3: in here, a little bit here and there. So for
Speaker 3: those of you all that don't know, I was a
Speaker 3: hardcore atheist for ten years eleven years, like from nine
Speaker 3: ten to twenty, I was a hardcore atheist. I you know,
Speaker 3: y'all know me. I'm a pretty decent dude. I care
Speaker 3: about others. But you know, there's one thing that always
Speaker 3: made me mad, and that was Jesus. Whenever somebody would
Speaker 3: bring them off like I would just get red in
Speaker 3: the face. I would get angry, to start spitting in
Speaker 3: your face. Mad. You know. It was just awful. And
Speaker 3: I didn't have the easiest life growing up. I didn't
Speaker 3: have the hardest either. You know, I always have food
Speaker 3: in my belly. I had both my parents. I had
Speaker 3: good education, so I did have things that could have
Speaker 3: been a lot better. You know, Father that was an
Speaker 3: alcoholic and succumb to it. But he did find the
Speaker 3: Lord beforehand, so I pray that he's and hilling eavy
Speaker 3: with Jesus. You know. But when I finally came to
Speaker 3: faith and to accept Christ as my savior, I really
Speaker 3: did look back at everything. I was able to look
Speaker 3: at all those nights I spent crying, all those nights
Speaker 3: I spent fighting, just like all the times I thought
Speaker 3: about ending it all, and I looked back, I thought
Speaker 3: I was a good person and stuff. When I look
Speaker 3: back and realized Christ was number one. Christ was there
Speaker 3: walking by my side the whole entire time, throughout all
Speaker 3: of it, all the bad I did, all the struggles,
Speaker 3: I went through everything, and when I finally came to faith,
Speaker 3: I just lost it. I just broke down and cried
Speaker 3: all the time. I was never an emotional person. I
Speaker 3: didn't cry hardly at all. But once I found the Lord,
Speaker 3: you know, he just softened me. He broke me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And now I just look at everything and even the bad,
Speaker 3: I thank him for I think that he was by
Speaker 3: my side. I think all the time that he was
Speaker 3: by my side even though I did not believe in him,
Speaker 3: and I did everything in my power to convince people
Speaker 3: that he was not real. But he he never left me.
Speaker 3: And now I can look at this world, everything I'm
Speaker 3: going into and everything been I've been, and know that
Speaker 3: it is part of my testimony that I can use
Speaker 3: to spread people, to bring people to him, spread his gospels,
Speaker 3: spread his love, teach people how to build relationships with
Speaker 3: them and not walk down the same path that I have.
Speaker 3: And that's what you know. He calls all of us
Speaker 3: to make disciples, but he for my my job specifically,
Speaker 3: I am to go out and help those who are
Speaker 3: like what I once was. So it's you know, he
Speaker 3: can he can forgive anybody. He loves us. All. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: and yeah, I mean, I'm sorry I started rambling there,
Speaker 3: but but Gabriel said in the Channel'm just like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it makes you appreciate everything in life that you have
Speaker 3: ten times more. And that's the bare mint Like, I
Speaker 3: can't even describe how much more I appreciate everything. And
Speaker 3: I need to, you know, kick myself in the butt
Speaker 3: sometimes when I start taking thanks for granted, you know,
Speaker 3: And I think it's important to have the conversations like
Speaker 3: we're having right now to keep our face. Iron sharpens iron.
Speaker 3: And then also where two or more gather, he is there, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, he's right here in this conversation too. It's
Speaker 3: not like we're just talking about him and he's in
Speaker 3: vacation in Tahiti. No, he's uh, he's sitting here right
Speaker 3: here too, listening to us and inspiring us in our words.
Speaker 3: And I couldnot be more grateful. And that's what this
Speaker 3: this is about. This is why I wanted to do this,
Speaker 3: and why I wanted you guys here, because we all,
Speaker 3: from what I know of all y'all have the same
Speaker 3: mindset and the same heart to want to bring as
Speaker 3: many people to Jesus as possible.
Speaker 8: Absolutely absolutely, you know, because when the when the end
Speaker 8: does come, you know, and if you're not right with
Speaker 8: the Lord, you're going to spend an attorney in somewhere
Speaker 8: you don't want to spend eternity. And you know that's
Speaker 8: the biggest thing to me. You know, like if I
Speaker 8: have like real close friends, you know they're lost, you know,
Speaker 8: so to speak, and you know, if if I can
Speaker 8: steer somebody the right way and they not spend the
Speaker 8: attornity in hell, nice missions accomplished?
Speaker 1: Yeah, who has a bright candle and hides it under
Speaker 1: a rock. I've seen a guy talk. I don't remember
Speaker 1: his name, but I think he's like a famous magician
Speaker 1: or something. But he was talking about the faith and
Speaker 1: gospel and evangelizing and stuff. He said, how bad do
Speaker 1: you have to hate someone to not witness to them?
Speaker 1: To not talk about Christ? He said, if you believe
Speaker 1: what you profess you believe, and people that don't know
Speaker 1: Christ and where they're going to go, how bad do
Speaker 1: you have to hate someone to not tell them the
Speaker 1: good news? And how vain is it for you to
Speaker 1: be a soul journer in this you know, temporal place
Speaker 1: and be so concerned of what people think of you
Speaker 1: and how they perceive you over saving someone so from
Speaker 1: damnation for all eternity. Now, that really made me stop
Speaker 1: and think. It's like, how many times have you, you know,
Speaker 1: had a conversation with somebody in passing that you just
Speaker 1: met and not brought up Christ because either it just
Speaker 1: didn't cross your mind or you were worried about how
Speaker 1: they would perceive you. You know, if we truly believe
Speaker 1: what we believe, that that should be one of the
Speaker 1: first things come out of our mouth. At the very
Speaker 1: first of meeting somebody. You know, you got the lifeboat
Speaker 1: and the life vest, and every person you meet is
Speaker 1: theologically and symbolically drowning. The first thing you should do
Speaker 1: is ask them if they got their life jacket.
Speaker 8: Yep, if your name, ask them if their name is
Speaker 8: written them uh, lamb's buck alot.
Speaker 3: You know, Doc, It's it's funny that you brought up
Speaker 3: the worrying about what people think and stuff like that,
Speaker 3: because I know every single person struggled with that at
Speaker 3: least one point in their life. About a month ago,
Speaker 3: a month and a half ago, somebodies of mine from
Speaker 3: a church I help out with sometimes up in Michigan,
Speaker 3: we're like, hey, Riley, let's go to Sweetwater Music because
Speaker 3: it's only a few hour drive and they got so
Speaker 3: much sound equipment, musical whipment, stuff like that. So we're
Speaker 3: all musicians, played all the instruments. So we're just chilling
Speaker 3: in the acoustic guitar room and we're just playing just
Speaker 3: some random things. Then we all kind of pull up
Speaker 3: stools next to each other and just start playing some chords,
Speaker 3: just jamming out. And my buddy he started singing, and
Speaker 3: he started singing worship music. And I was like, I'm
Speaker 3: sitting there for a second, I'm like, man, what are
Speaker 3: you doing? What are you doing? And then I had
Speaker 3: to kick myself because I'm like, wait, why am I
Speaker 3: getting like nervous or afraid of possibly you know, somebody
Speaker 3: hears these lyrics and their lives are changed. Like why
Speaker 3: am I freaking out about playing Christian music in the
Speaker 3: middle of a guitar store when some like I said,
Speaker 3: somebody could be saved in that moment. And who knows,
Speaker 3: maybe somebody heard the lyrics and he was singing. And
Speaker 3: because once I kicked myself on the butt, I kicked
Speaker 3: in the high gear and was really like worshiping on
Speaker 3: a guitar just in the middle of a guitar store.
Speaker 3: And you know, God can move anywhere like that.
Speaker 8: We just have to be when the Holy Spare it moves,
Speaker 8: he moves, and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
Speaker 7: Nothing, absolutely nothing.
Speaker 8: You know, Demon's flee in seven directions and the mention
Speaker 8: of the name of Jesus. So there's power in the name,
Speaker 8: and there's the blood is very much alife, very much.
Speaker 8: It's when the when the Holy Spirit, when the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 7: Very very The very first time that.
Speaker 8: He touched me, I remember it like it was yesterday,
Speaker 8: as a sixth grade science class and there's a there's
Speaker 8: an old boy behind me. His name is Isaac and uh,
Speaker 8: you know, he was talking and he was big into
Speaker 8: the church and all that stuff, and growing up, you know,
Speaker 8: we would go to church, just not not every Sunday,
Speaker 8: but like every other Sunday. And like I was sitting
Speaker 8: around and he was he was telling me how he
Speaker 8: had got saved, and I was like, well, I don't.
Speaker 8: I don't think that I've ever been saved. And you know,
Speaker 8: for the rest of that day I was. And I
Speaker 8: remember getting in the vehicle and I was like, Mom,
Speaker 8: I'm not saved, and she's like, we you mean you're
Speaker 8: not saved.
Speaker 7: I was like by Jesus.
Speaker 8: And that evening and the neighbors at the time they
Speaker 8: had a church, and I went to their little grocery
Speaker 8: store called, uh it was at the time his name
Speaker 8: Nancy's Market and Delhi and I got saved in that
Speaker 8: little grocery store.
Speaker 7: So and just going on throughout life.
Speaker 8: You know, I meant I've slipped up and cussed and
Speaker 8: things like that, and you know, but at the end
Speaker 8: of the day, I know that I can get down
Speaker 8: on my knees and ask for forgiveness. And you know,
Speaker 8: our God is very, very merciful, you know. And that's
Speaker 8: the biggest thing.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 7: He's always there.
Speaker 8: He's everywhere, and he's there if you need to rant
Speaker 8: and ramble, and you know, you can ask your prayers,
Speaker 8: you know, and he's always listening. Don't ever think that
Speaker 8: he's not listening, because he always is listening. It just
Speaker 8: takes time for those prayers to be answered and they
Speaker 8: will be answered.
Speaker 3: Well, that's like Daniel and Daniel when the Angel came
Speaker 3: to him, he's like, I would have been here sooner,
Speaker 3: but I was fighting the Prince of Persia, the principality.
Speaker 3: He's like, he's stop, he was in my way. I
Speaker 3: got he got there. He came though it was an instant,
Speaker 3: you know. But Daniel didn't give up. He still kept
Speaker 3: on praying and the Angel came. God answered his prayer.
Speaker 3: It just took time. That's why people, when I love
Speaker 3: that you brought that up. Man because it's that's one
Speaker 3: thing I had to learn. God's not a vending machine.
Speaker 3: You can't just slip your prayer in and pop out.
Speaker 3: Your prayer's going to be answered. Sometimes it'll take you know.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it can be instant. Sometimes sometimes there's healing right
Speaker 3: on the spot, limbs grow, blindness is healed, the death
Speaker 3: will hear. But other times sometimes it takes a lifetime
Speaker 3: for that prayer to be answered. And sometimes the answered
Speaker 3: prayer is not how we want it. Because God knows
Speaker 3: what's best for us. We think we do in the flesh,
Speaker 3: but no, God knows what's best for us.
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. The spirit.
Speaker 8: Spirit spiritually is the biggest thing, you know, because we
Speaker 8: physically have body and we spiritually have a body, and
Speaker 8: you know our spiritual body can die, you know, so
Speaker 8: you have you have to keep the faith alive and
Speaker 8: going to be ready to go spirits, because when you die,
Speaker 8: your spirit is leaving your body and you'll be up
Speaker 8: there at those gates and your name better be written
Speaker 8: in that lamb's book of life.
Speaker 2: Right, I thought you said damn for a second written.
Speaker 7: I said, the land came out. That's getting a little
Speaker 7: gitter for a minute, man, Lord.
Speaker 3: Man, when when when the spirit starts flowing, man, we
Speaker 3: do I personally, I tend to get loud. They'll take
Speaker 3: the microw microphone away from me at church.
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, spirits starts moving through you.
Speaker 8: Man, I get a little roll up, you little tongue
Speaker 8: slur there for a minute.
Speaker 3: I have learned at this point, and thank God for
Speaker 3: it because my wife and I are the worship leaders
Speaker 3: at our church, and sometimes the Spirit will give us
Speaker 3: a word to give the congregation, and I'll slowly move
Speaker 3: my microphone to the side and all right, and then
Speaker 3: I'll start getting loud.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I can contain myself, but other times, no.
Speaker 8: Man, it hey, when it starts moving, man, you ain't
Speaker 8: nothing new to stop.
Speaker 3: It, and there's nothing I want to do to stop it. Man,
Speaker 3: when it's truly, truly, truly the greatest feeling in the world,
Speaker 3: you know it is. Back in the day, I used
Speaker 3: to think getting high and having sex with the greatest
Speaker 3: feeling in the world. But then when I met Jesus
Speaker 3: and he he's the best feeling in the world through him,
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, he changed my life. I was dude,
Speaker 3: I was addicted to porn. Bad. I'm not even gonna lie,
Speaker 3: I'll be honest, spending a lot of money on it.
Speaker 3: I was an electrician at the time, single was riting
Speaker 3: a place. It was only like three hundred and something
Speaker 3: bucks a month, so I had a lot of extra money,
Speaker 3: so you know. But then I knew the Lord, but
Speaker 3: I wasn't doing what I should And just one day,
Speaker 3: actually it is the day I got baptized. He showed me.
Speaker 3: Once I came down that water and almost got drug
Speaker 3: out to Lake Michigan, they joked, They're like, rather, we're
Speaker 3: gonna hold you down for an extra second, just joking.
Speaker 3: They're like, yo, you need it. And when I went under,
Speaker 3: a big old wave came in and pulled me out,
Speaker 3: but my pastor caught me by my pants. And but
Speaker 3: once I came out of that water, everything was clear
Speaker 3: to me. I was like, I don't need this no more.
Speaker 3: And I'm almost two years clean thanks to the Lord.
Speaker 3: It would not be possible without him. And he truly is, truly,
Speaker 3: truly is the greatest feeling in the world, and his love.
Speaker 3: And it's hard. Sometimes we get I'm not gonna lie, man.
Speaker 3: Sometimes the world gets to me. Sometimes the world the
Speaker 3: world's in it. But I know at the end of
Speaker 3: the day, like you said earlier, I can get down
Speaker 3: on my knees, pray for forgiveness and just ask him,
Speaker 3: the Lord, for his strength to pull me through.
Speaker 7: Yep, exactly right, exactly right.
Speaker 2: I just feet need to pull this thing out.
Speaker 1: Man. I swear I played in a long time.
Speaker 2: This thing was out of tune.
Speaker 1: It set for so long.
Speaker 2: But uh you.
Speaker 1: Uh you said you did praise and worship. I used
Speaker 1: to do praise and worship. Uh I thought I played
Speaker 1: a little song.
Speaker 2: Man do it?

Speaker 8: Yeah, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: So Cooper, welcome to the string.
Speaker 7: Yeah, welcome in, Welcome in.
Speaker 3: Man. You know, it's only because there's there's so much
Speaker 3: that came to mind when thinking about doing this, and
Speaker 3: I I was like, man, it would it sure would
Speaker 3: be nice to have like some worship or someone like that.
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't know about that. And then
Speaker 3: you pulled out your all the all together.
Speaker 7: It all just fell into place. Man, it just meant
Speaker 7: to happen.
Speaker 8: It was just you know, like I say, the starts moving, man,
Speaker 8: he starts moving and it happens.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 3: Man, it it's a weapon too. Man, it's it's not
Speaker 3: just singing and playing an instrument. It is it is
Speaker 3: a weapon. Look at Joshua and Jericho. Man, what did
Speaker 3: they do. They marched around Jericho. They're carrying the arc
Speaker 3: of the Covenant and they were worshiping the Lord for
Speaker 3: seven days. I think it was seven. Yeah, well seven days,
Speaker 3: wasn't it. I just read it the other day. I
Speaker 3: need to start writing stuff down. But you know, they
Speaker 3: were worshiping man. Boom, the walls crumbled down. It it's insane.
Speaker 3: Some of the some of the wildest moments I've ever
Speaker 3: seen took place during worship. You know. I had a
Speaker 3: moment where I got called out at a worship event.
Speaker 3: I was called up in there like, hey, I want
Speaker 3: you to go out to the audience and whoever the
Speaker 3: Lord points out to you, and I want you to
Speaker 3: just go pray for him. So it just so happened
Speaker 3: to be my wife's friend that she brought along, and
Speaker 3: I was like, hey, I don't know why but the
Speaker 3: Lord wants me to pray over you. But here's the thing,
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm supposed to pray over you. So
Speaker 3: follow me. And they had this giant wooden cross and
Speaker 3: me and her went down and I asked her. I
Speaker 3: was like, well, you a bow down in front of the
Speaker 3: cross with me, and we just got on her knees
Speaker 3: and we just both the second our heads hit the floor,
Speaker 3: we were just both bawling our eyes out and we
Speaker 3: just cried and cried for fifteen twenty minutes. I didn't
Speaker 3: even cry that hard when my father passed away, but
Speaker 3: I could just feel the chains and everything lifting up.
Speaker 3: And we got done. And keep in mind, we had
Speaker 3: hardly talked besides hey, follow me, and yes, I'll follow you.
Speaker 3: And we got up and she looks at me and
Speaker 3: she was like, you lost somebody a couple of days ago, too,
Speaker 3: didn't she? And I was like, yeah, one of my
Speaker 3: best friends drowned while fishing. And she had a friend
Speaker 3: or a family memver passed away. Didn't even talk about this,
Speaker 3: My wife didn't talk to her about it or anything
Speaker 3: like that. And we just laid down all our sadness,
Speaker 3: our hurt, everything, and the Lord just lifted both of
Speaker 3: us up, and we couldn't explain it other than that
Speaker 3: was the Lord taking all our burdens and taking them
Speaker 3: on his his own, and it truly and during that
Speaker 3: it was there was this worship going on. And we
Speaker 3: are me and the people I do worship with all
Speaker 3: the handful of churches that I helped bounce between, and
Speaker 3: we are very spirit led worship. So we have our
Speaker 3: you know, our set songs that we're going to do,
Speaker 3: but if the Lord tells us to play into something else,
Speaker 3: we'll just start playing something else. And they started singing
Speaker 3: that Our Father song. I don't know if you've ever
Speaker 3: heard that one, but the the bridge in it is
Speaker 3: just like, yours is the kingdom, Yours is the power,
Speaker 3: Yours is the glory forever and ever. And when they
Speaker 3: when my buddy started singing that, he just started belting
Speaker 3: it out and every like that's when everything just started happened.
Speaker 3: I was like, it is the Lord's kingdom, it is
Speaker 3: his power, and it is his glory forever and ever.
Speaker 3: And I just like I said, I felt everything just
Speaker 3: come off of me. And it was the spirit, but
Speaker 3: it was the people listening to the spirit as well
Speaker 3: and doing what he wanted to do, because our words
Speaker 3: are a double edged sword, you know, our words have power.
Speaker 3: And you know, worship isn't just hey, let's get up
Speaker 3: there and sing a song. No, it is us leading
Speaker 3: people to the throne room of.
Speaker 8: God, sharing our sharing, our testimonies and our experiences, you know,
Speaker 8: through what the Lord has done for us, you know.
Speaker 8: And you know our our testimonies can touch somebody, you know.
Speaker 8: I mean, God has everybody's purpose, you know, and our
Speaker 8: everybody's testimonies is to touch somebody else.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 8: It could just be a random person that we see
Speaker 8: at Walmart or you know, wherever the case may be.
Speaker 8: You know, we just have to walk up to that person,
Speaker 8: you know, and acknowledge them, you know. And that's the
Speaker 8: biggest thing, you know, we don't We shouldn't see anybody
Speaker 8: as a stranger because they are made the exact same
Speaker 8: way as we are in His image.
Speaker 1: I mean, and I just love how he uses it,
Speaker 1: you know, so many times we like with me anyway,
Speaker 1: I look back at all the all the stuff that
Speaker 1: I did, and even even now, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: some of the things I do just rotten, you know, and.
Speaker 2: Selfish, and.
Speaker 1: You do, you kind of get this imposture syndrome and
Speaker 1: you're like, you know, the devil gets the names, like,
Speaker 1: you know, who are you to talk about God? Who
Speaker 1: are you to talk about salvation and righteous? And I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not nobody, But that's what God uses. God
Speaker 1: uses nobody's And if you look back, I mean David,
Speaker 1: he was a murderer, he was an adulterer, but he
Speaker 1: was known as a man after God's on heart. Uh
Speaker 1: you know, Marry what was was remembered to be a prostitute? Uh,
Speaker 1: you had thieves, tax collectors.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: None of those guys were qualified, but they were chosen.
Speaker 1: And God doesn't choose the qualified, but he qualifies the called.
Speaker 1: And he wants those ones that are just just wild,
Speaker 1: wild at heart and wild in spirit, because he knows
Speaker 1: those are the people that's going to reach the people,
Speaker 1: and those are the people that's gonna ride through the
Speaker 1: gates of hell with him. And if you do it right,
Speaker 1: just unapologetically and unashamed talk about how dirty you are,
Speaker 1: how messed up you are, and the wondrous works that
Speaker 1: God is doing through you. He uses that as a
Speaker 1: tool to pull people out that are currently in that
Speaker 1: situation now because you are relatable to that person and
Speaker 1: they know you're real and they know that you know
Speaker 1: the hurt and you know the pain and you know
Speaker 1: what they're going through. And the keys is to use
Speaker 1: it for God's glory. And it's just a beautiful thing
Speaker 1: and it's come as you are, and it's uh, you're
Speaker 1: never going to be perfect. You're not going to protect yourself,
Speaker 1: but it's it's a journey and you have to show
Speaker 1: people not just where you are, but where you come from.
Speaker 3: Mhm.
