00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.400
<v Speaker 2>tired of hearing it. But I know, I know I'm partial,

<v Speaker 2>But got a just a banger line up for you guys.

27
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.120
<v Speaker 2>This is a well researched woman. This is a woman

28
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.519
<v Speaker 2>with some pedigree. Where's lots of hats, big brain Gal

29
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:35.439
<v Speaker 2>grew up cutting my teeth listening to her and her

30
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 2>father and her brother. We've had her brother on. But

31
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to welcome to the show for the first time,

32
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:43.519
<v Speaker 2>hopefully the first of many, Donna Howell. Donna, thank you

33
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 2>so much for joining us.

34
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, thank you very much. It's actually a pleasure of

35
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 3>mine to be here.

36
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's awesome. Yeah, I was talking to your brother.

37
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.640
<v Speaker 2>We've had a couple of conversations on the show. I'm like,

38
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Mahn SkyWatch. That is something that when I was just

39
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 2>a I was a grown man, but I was an

40
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.280
<v Speaker 2>infant Christian, you know, seeing this whole you know, thing

41
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>of the Bible and this ancient world and a whole

42
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 2>new light, and you guys were kind of my training wheel.

43
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.800
<v Speaker 2>So I definitely appreciate the work that you guys do.

44
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:14.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, thank you very much.

45
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.039
<v Speaker 5>I think that the work that we do is It's

46
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 5>funny because my father, he would always shy away from

47
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:21.159
<v Speaker 5>the word prophet.

48
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:22.719
<v Speaker 3>He'd say, no, don't call me a prophet.

49
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 5>And that's because that term is really, really heavily misused

50
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:29.400
<v Speaker 5>in today's church. But what he was bringing about back

51
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.840
<v Speaker 5>in the nineteen eighties, he's saying, why does everybody say

52
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:36.400
<v Speaker 5>that the Bible doesn't have anything to say about, you know,

53
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.319
<v Speaker 5>aliens and what demons are up to today and what.

54
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 3>Our world is going to look like politically soon.

55
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 5>And he was like dealing with all those SkyWatch type

56
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.800
<v Speaker 5>Inachian worldview figures and facts way back in the eighties,

57
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 5>and everybody was like, this guy is absolutely nuts, But

58
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 5>to me, he was just dad.

59
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 3>So fast forward.

60
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 5>SkyWatch is born out of this what most people are

61
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 5>calling it, prophetic vision of.

62
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 3>Tom And now what now the whole world is going?

63
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 5>Could Jesus be an alien? What's the Vatican up to?

64
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 5>What is the Antichrist going to do tomorrow? And there's

65
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 5>like all these works that are lined up.

66
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 3>So that's great.

67
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:13.759
<v Speaker 5>I'm actually very glad to hear that it's reaching young

68
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 5>people as well.

69
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Well. Yeah, and just don before we get too deep

70
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 2>into our conversation today for those that maybe are new

71
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.439
<v Speaker 2>to this space, new Christians or something like that, and

72
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 2>they've not been introduced to you, just kind of give

73
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 2>an introduction. You know, who you are, what you do,

74
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 2>fields of speciality, just kind of give everybody a feel

75
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>of who Donna is.

76
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, for sure, So I actually have I'm the best

77
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.960
<v Speaker 5>selling author. I have written books that you may or

78
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:42.759
<v Speaker 5>may not have heard of before.

79
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 3>Genesis is one where we dealt with everything from the

80
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:47.039
<v Speaker 3>gap theory.

81
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 5>It kind of just goes through the whole cosmological story

82
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:52.800
<v Speaker 5>of how the world came to be and what happened

83
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 5>in the earliest days. And it does something I've never

84
00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:00.560
<v Speaker 5>seen any other Christian media do, and that is that

85
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:06.479
<v Speaker 5>it takes Old Earth views science and theistic evolution and

86
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 5>Young Earth views, and it kind of looks at all

87
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 5>the different things and it pulls out what does harmonize

88
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.400
<v Speaker 5>with scripture and what doesn't harmonize with scripture, And at

89
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 5>the end of the day, it says, there's a way

90
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 5>of looking at this that you never even imagined. And

91
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 5>when the angels fell, which we know they did, the

92
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 5>Bible is clear about that the earth was their domain.

93
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.439
<v Speaker 5>Luciferian Earth that there is no biblical doubt about that

94
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 5>it became a place of waste, and that's where we

95
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.800
<v Speaker 5>pick up in Genesis one. But what happened before is

96
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:41.279
<v Speaker 5>also hinted at throughout scripture. Very fascinating narrative of that

97
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 5>actually finally brings the ancient Earth the Young Earth. All

98
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 5>the evidence is true in this view, and it marries

99
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.519
<v Speaker 5>itself into a place that's also biblical and scripture.

100
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 3>It is very cool. It was a cool project.

101
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:56.680
<v Speaker 5>It also explains a lot of what was going on

102
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 5>in those ancient ruins like Go.

103
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 3>Beckley Tepe Bailback. So it's a really neat project.

104
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.480
<v Speaker 5>That was one of the things that I was known for,

105
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 5>But just a lot of other books that you know,

106
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker 5>I've kind of helped contribute to or written on my own.

107
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:15.879
<v Speaker 5>I wrote Handmaiden's Conspiracy, which deals with the woman's biblical

108
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.680
<v Speaker 5>right to teach, preach, be a leader in the church.

109
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.920
<v Speaker 5>I also did Destination Earth, which systematically breaks down the

110
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:31.639
<v Speaker 5>incompatibilities between Jesus's nature and the nature of extraterrestrial life.

111
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.120
<v Speaker 5>Since there appears to be a rise in the et

112
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.079
<v Speaker 5>religion crowd that believes that Jesus Christ might have been

113
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:40.879
<v Speaker 5>some kind of extraterrestrial intelligence. So there's all kinds of

114
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:46.040
<v Speaker 5>what some people would very endearingly call the fringe type.

115
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.759
<v Speaker 3>Work that I've done. And so that's kind of where

116
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:48.199
<v Speaker 3>I've been.

117
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:52.399
<v Speaker 5>And I also host the Donna Howell Show on YouTube

118
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 5>Roku all the different places related to SkyWatch, and yeah,

119
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.079
<v Speaker 5>just a part of the SkyWatch team.

120
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome. And for those that's not read that book

121
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>on Genesis, that was an amazing book. I really really

122
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.959
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed the I got the audible on that when I

123
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.040
<v Speaker 2>was listening to it at work, but I absolutely loved that.

124
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.120
<v Speaker 2>And like you said, it just ties together everything so

125
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.040
<v Speaker 2>beautifully in a pretty bow. And when you do that,

126
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:22.279
<v Speaker 2>it gets rid of the red line for faith and science,

127
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:24.959
<v Speaker 2>because you know a lot of the Young Earth creationists

128
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.120
<v Speaker 2>they draw that red line and say, oh, that's the

129
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 2>secular view, it doesn't correlate to the Bible. But when

130
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.680
<v Speaker 2>you do that, man, those two just kind of go

131
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.079
<v Speaker 2>hand in glove. So it's really nice to see people

132
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.879
<v Speaker 2>with different points of view and be able to reconcile

133
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 2>the word with science because I believe God is a scientist.

134
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.360
<v Speaker 2>He's the greatest scientist.

135
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:46.800
<v Speaker 3>The master scientist.

136
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and just to collapse because there's this is definitely

137
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.519
<v Speaker 5>not a show that we're going to do before Genesis.

138
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:54.839
<v Speaker 5>That is definitely a loaded show for another day, and

139
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 5>I'm open minded to that.

140
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.199
<v Speaker 3>But to collapse it because you might have people.

141
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.639
<v Speaker 5>Saying, how can the earth be old and young at

142
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.759
<v Speaker 5>the same time. Well, that is what is known as

143
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.920
<v Speaker 5>the restitution theory or the restoration theory, and it essentially

144
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:10.759
<v Speaker 5>says that God originally created something wonderful and good.

145
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.160
<v Speaker 3>The angels originally way before Genesis.

146
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.720
<v Speaker 5>The fallen angels destroyed what was there.

147
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.040
<v Speaker 3>God recreated it in the time of Adam.

148
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.199
<v Speaker 5>So we have a new kind of a new earth

149
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 5>layer over the top of the old earth layer. And

150
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.120
<v Speaker 5>if a person sitting there going on is the most

151
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 5>insane thing I've ever heard, why would God make a

152
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.439
<v Speaker 5>new Earth? Well he does it again in Revelation. So

153
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.160
<v Speaker 5>it's kind of a cyclical thing we're saying, So not

154
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.839
<v Speaker 5>that unbelievable, especially when you take the scripture into two account.

155
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 3>But again, you and I we had probably heard about

156
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.879
<v Speaker 3>this for an hour and loose focus. I apologize. That's

157
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:46.800
<v Speaker 3>the book in a nutshell.

158
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, But one thing that we're going to dive into

159
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.560
<v Speaker 2>today is actually really excited to hear your thoughts and

160
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.079
<v Speaker 2>point of view on this. And I'll be honest, I've

161
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.399
<v Speaker 2>resisted getting on SkyWatch TV and looking up discussions and

162
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 2>you talking about this because I wanted it to be

163
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.120
<v Speaker 2>fresh to me and my listeners at the same time.

164
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:12.399
<v Speaker 2>But it's honestly something that's correlating to I wouldn't say,

165
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:14.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, prophetic messages, but just what God has been

166
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:16.720
<v Speaker 2>putting on my heart and the message that I've been

167
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>given for like the past year is you know, I'm

168
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.319
<v Speaker 2>a really rough guy. I'm a rough I'm a rough

169
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:25.120
<v Speaker 2>round the edges guy. You know, I've covering tattoos and

170
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:29.279
<v Speaker 2>facial hair, and I don't fit into that little square

171
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.679
<v Speaker 2>peg of you know, Christianity as some people like to

172
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 2>put it, uh, And I've caught a lot of flack

173
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.519
<v Speaker 2>over it. People tell me that, you know, you do this,

174
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:40.720
<v Speaker 2>you look like that, you shouldn't be talking about the

175
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Word of God, and you call yourself a Christian all

176
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.399
<v Speaker 2>those sorts of things. And I've told people, I'm like,

177
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, in the very least, I believe God has

178
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:53.600
<v Speaker 2>put me in this position to reach the rough around

179
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:57.440
<v Speaker 2>the edges people like and because when you look through

180
00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the Bible, Peter or Paul, these guys were tax collectors,

181
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.360
<v Speaker 2>they foiled prostitutes. These were the rough around the edges

182
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.080
<v Speaker 2>people because they would go beyond what they were asked

183
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:09.440
<v Speaker 2>to do.

184
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.360
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely no, we have had what I'm referring to as

185
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 5>the messy ones from the very beginning. Now, that's what

186
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.039
<v Speaker 5>I call this message every time I preach, it is

187
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:19.919
<v Speaker 5>the messy ones.

188
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.399
<v Speaker 3>And I want to be really really clear.

189
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.399
<v Speaker 5>That when I say that, I'm using it because historically

190
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.679
<v Speaker 5>there was a moment where the Jesus freaks, remember them

191
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.279
<v Speaker 5>from the Jesus People movement in the sixties and seventies.

192
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:37.279
<v Speaker 5>They were rough around the edges and they walked around barefoot,

193
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.759
<v Speaker 5>and it was like every time you saw them. I mean,

194
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.279
<v Speaker 5>it's even a cliche in modern media that when you

195
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.799
<v Speaker 5>see them in a movie, you almost expect a character

196
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.879
<v Speaker 5>to be like, get a job, get a haircut, you hippie,

197
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:52.600
<v Speaker 5>you know, make something of your life. You bum all

198
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:55.799
<v Speaker 5>of this because they just did have an alternative lifestyle,

199
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.399
<v Speaker 5>and so they looked messy to the pretty people, the

200
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.440
<v Speaker 5>perfect people in the church, right well, the Church of

201
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.000
<v Speaker 5>the pretty People cyclically.

202
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 3>Dies What I mean by that is it goes in

203
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:06.840
<v Speaker 3>a loop.

204
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.720
<v Speaker 5>You have a generation that appreciates, you know, moral upstanding.

205
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.440
<v Speaker 5>They fix a lot of what's wrong in their culture

206
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:17.279
<v Speaker 5>and their society, and they stand for what is right

207
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.080
<v Speaker 5>or whatever, and their children kind of inherit this place

208
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.080
<v Speaker 5>and it's the prettier that we know the right way

209
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:23.679
<v Speaker 5>to live, and it becomes.

210
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:24.759
<v Speaker 3>A little bit of an arrogant thing.

211
00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:30.480
<v Speaker 5>And then later on there comes another another generation underneath

212
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.720
<v Speaker 5>that that kind of doesn't understand completely what was built

213
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.399
<v Speaker 5>by the blood, sweat and tears of their parents, and

214
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:38.120
<v Speaker 5>they just inherit this beautiful world.

215
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:39.440
<v Speaker 3>See I was one of those.

216
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.039
<v Speaker 5>I inherited the beautiful world that the baby boomers in

217
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.200
<v Speaker 5>my parents' generation built from me. They did all of

218
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.360
<v Speaker 5>the proper voting, they did, they stood up for what

219
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 5>was right. They built a beautiful America, and I just

220
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.480
<v Speaker 5>inherited it. I'm actually one of the old older sisters

221
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:56.120
<v Speaker 5>of the millennial generation.

222
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:59.279
<v Speaker 3>By two months, I'm a millennial by two months.

223
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:00.919
<v Speaker 5>Otherwise I would have I've a bit a little bit

224
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:02.120
<v Speaker 5>too old to be the millennial.

225
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:04.320
<v Speaker 3>So I'm kind of a big sister of the millennial generation.

226
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.159
<v Speaker 5>And I can see this cyclical process because a lot

227
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.279
<v Speaker 5>of the people that were my age grew up with.

228
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 3>This entitlement mentality.

229
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.879
<v Speaker 5>We are conservative, you know, Evangelical Christians, so we are

230
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.919
<v Speaker 5>better and prettier than those people over there who are messy,

231
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:19.159
<v Speaker 5>And don't we look amazing?

232
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:20.120
<v Speaker 3>And don't we look beautiful?

233
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 5>The Church of the pretty People is the one I

234
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:25.000
<v Speaker 5>grew up in, and it made me sick because I

235
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:27.240
<v Speaker 5>was reading scripture and my dad taught me right.

236
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:28.000
<v Speaker 3>That's another thing.

237
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.320
<v Speaker 5>The great Tom Horn of SkyWatch TV, the best selling author,

238
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:34.840
<v Speaker 5>the guy who was not afraid to deal with the

239
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:39.000
<v Speaker 5>weird questions, the fringe questions, the questions that his generation's

240
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:44.279
<v Speaker 5>messy ones were asking. Was this was the man who

241
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:48.080
<v Speaker 5>raised me and said, look, if the minutes you think

242
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:49.120
<v Speaker 5>you're prettier.

243
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:50.720
<v Speaker 3>Than someone else are better than someone else, then you

244
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:53.159
<v Speaker 3>need to be convicted. You've got to grow up.

245
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:55.879
<v Speaker 5>That is the moment that you have arrived at a

246
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.279
<v Speaker 5>place where conviction's the only thing that can save you,

247
00:11:58.320 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 5>because at that point you.

248
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.840
<v Speaker 3>Are just lost in your own arrogance spiel.

249
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:06.799
<v Speaker 5>So this is why I call it the messy ones

250
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.840
<v Speaker 5>are coming because I want to I almost want to

251
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:14.000
<v Speaker 5>do something that's kind of approaches from a weird angle

252
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:15.279
<v Speaker 5>that nobody sees coming.

253
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:17.240
<v Speaker 3>But it came to me in the moment. I was

254
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:18.679
<v Speaker 3>preaching a sermon live.

255
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:21.000
<v Speaker 5>And I said, we think we're so beautiful, we think

256
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:23.759
<v Speaker 5>we've got it all figured out. But there's a generation coming.

257
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.360
<v Speaker 5>They don't look like us, they don't talk like us.

258
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:31.320
<v Speaker 5>They're going to walk in with dreadlocks, gauged piercings, tattoos,

259
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.039
<v Speaker 5>all the things.

260
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:36.320
<v Speaker 3>And there is going to be an entire generation of Christians.

261
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.240
<v Speaker 5>Young people that look at that and go cool.

262
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:39.799
<v Speaker 3>I relate to that.

263
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:42.279
<v Speaker 5>But all the old suits are going to be left

264
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.279
<v Speaker 5>behind in the dust. They're going to be the ones

265
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:48.279
<v Speaker 5>calling these people the messy ones. Well listen, they might

266
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:51.279
<v Speaker 5>be called the messy ones by the pretty people. So

267
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:54.080
<v Speaker 5>the messy ones are coming. But this is the moment

268
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.600
<v Speaker 5>in time, and this is what I'm so passionate about.

269
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.879
<v Speaker 3>This is the moment in time where the old suit

270
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:04.879
<v Speaker 3>have a choice. We can accept, embrace, mentor love, or

271
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:08.159
<v Speaker 3>we can be kicked out of the church by the

272
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.759
<v Speaker 3>next generation that's taking over. It is going to be

273
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:15.320
<v Speaker 3>a radical fire. There's a great awakening coming. We already are.

274
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.440
<v Speaker 5>In the beginning phases of it. I see it again.

275
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:21.399
<v Speaker 5>I study cyclical history. I see the patterns, every single trigger.

276
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:22.879
<v Speaker 3>The writing is on the wall.

277
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:25.240
<v Speaker 5>We are getting ready to see a radical movement of

278
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:27.559
<v Speaker 5>God inside and outside of the church, which we can

279
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.240
<v Speaker 5>talk about the differences that that implies.

280
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:33.080
<v Speaker 3>In a minute. But when this happens, there is going

281
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:34.799
<v Speaker 3>to be droves.

282
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.320
<v Speaker 5>Of people, young people who come from a completely different

283
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:42.639
<v Speaker 5>line of life, a different walk of life than we

284
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.240
<v Speaker 5>pretty people in the church can even relate to. So

285
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.799
<v Speaker 5>now is the time to make the decision. When they come?

286
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.679
<v Speaker 5>Will you relate to them when they come? Will you

287
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.720
<v Speaker 5>mentor them when they come? Will you love on them,

288
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:58.120
<v Speaker 5>hold them and bring them into the fold and be

289
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:02.919
<v Speaker 5>there as an older of steadiness and support and scriptural knowledge,

290
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:03.559
<v Speaker 5>dividing the.

291
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:04.759
<v Speaker 3>Word of God rightly?

292
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.559
<v Speaker 5>Or are you going to stand there and go I

293
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.000
<v Speaker 5>don't know. These young people are messy. I don't get it.

294
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:13.240
<v Speaker 5>Because we might call them the anointed ones, but God

295
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:15.919
<v Speaker 5>is going to call them. We might call them the

296
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.960
<v Speaker 5>messy ones, but God is going to call them his anointed,

297
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:21.639
<v Speaker 5>and He is going to say, touch not my anointed.

298
00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:24.440
<v Speaker 5>They're coming, whether we like it or not. The Christian

299
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:27.200
<v Speaker 5>Church is not going to look the way it did before,

300
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.320
<v Speaker 5>with every single woman in a skirt and santan ylons

301
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:33.440
<v Speaker 5>and every guy in a suit and tie. It's just

302
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.559
<v Speaker 5>not The sermons are not going to be delivered in

303
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.600
<v Speaker 5>the same rhythm and the same motion. They're going to

304
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.519
<v Speaker 5>be what an older generation would look at and consider

305
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:47.200
<v Speaker 5>having messy subjects in a sermon because of the fact

306
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.200
<v Speaker 5>that they're dealing with They're dealing with all kinds of

307
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.240
<v Speaker 5>dirt and grit that we normally would never even have

308
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:55.279
<v Speaker 5>to deal with in my generation, You're going to be

309
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:58.720
<v Speaker 5>dealing with drug addict sermons. How do we save how

310
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.759
<v Speaker 5>do we reach the drug addict? Well, you can't reach

311
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:04.000
<v Speaker 5>them unless you know what they're going through. You can't

312
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:07.200
<v Speaker 5>reach them or even connect with them unless you understand

313
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:10.279
<v Speaker 5>what their testimony is, which means there's going to be

314
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.799
<v Speaker 5>things that are spoken in a corporate setting from the

315
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:17.159
<v Speaker 5>pulpit that are going to be shocking to an older generation.

316
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:20.600
<v Speaker 5>That the church used to be the place where a

317
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:23.279
<v Speaker 5>person could bring their baggage and display it and say

318
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:26.480
<v Speaker 5>I need help. Now the church has become a place

319
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:30.080
<v Speaker 5>where the person with baggage, the person with hurt, the

320
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.919
<v Speaker 5>person with scars and internal turmoil, says I already feel

321
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.720
<v Speaker 5>bad enough about myself, why would I go to church?

322
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.279
<v Speaker 5>You see how that flipped and became its own opposite. Okay,

323
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.759
<v Speaker 5>so church has become the contronym of the century. It's

324
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.080
<v Speaker 5>no longer the place where a person can come in

325
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.120
<v Speaker 5>with their hurt and their pain and be reached. It

326
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:51.000
<v Speaker 5>is now the place where a person with pain has

327
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:54.399
<v Speaker 5>to avoid completely. And that is where we have completely

328
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.480
<v Speaker 5>lost everything that we've lost sight of everything. If a

329
00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:00.919
<v Speaker 5>sermon needs to deal with some really mess see subjects,

330
00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:03.399
<v Speaker 5>it can be done in a tactful way, but it

331
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:04.519
<v Speaker 5>needs to deal with them.

332
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.039
<v Speaker 3>This is the generation that's coming. So that's that is.

333
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:09.799
<v Speaker 5>The basis, and we could We've got a lot of

334
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:11.919
<v Speaker 5>different places we could go with that in the next hour.

335
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.360
<v Speaker 2>M amen, she's on fire. I don't even want to

336
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:19.440
<v Speaker 2>interrupt that. But you were talking about the different the

337
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 2>generations and the uh you know, the the Jesus Freak

338
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.840
<v Speaker 2>movement and things like that. That's something that really stood

339
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:27.919
<v Speaker 2>out to me when I when I watched that show,

340
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:31.000
<v Speaker 2>It's like, man, these total outsiders just came in and

341
00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:34.519
<v Speaker 2>just turned this whole thing upside down and set the

342
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:38.519
<v Speaker 2>fields on fire. But in a good way. Uh. But

343
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.360
<v Speaker 2>with the generational gaps that you know that we see

344
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.840
<v Speaker 2>far as you know, the uh, the pretty ones and

345
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:50.519
<v Speaker 2>the messy ones. Uh, what kind of you know, stigmas

346
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:54.480
<v Speaker 2>or social programming or just social norms. What is the

347
00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:58.080
<v Speaker 2>difference between those two that is just making this huge chasm?

348
00:16:58.120 --> 00:17:01.080
<v Speaker 2>And is there a way to to you.

349
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:04.400
<v Speaker 5>Not the two there's a generational gap, but a lot

350
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:08.079
<v Speaker 5>of times generational gaps can actually be successfully closed by

351
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.359
<v Speaker 5>both sides. Okay, it's not just the duty of the

352
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:14.000
<v Speaker 5>older generation to try to connect with the younger, but

353
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:16.319
<v Speaker 5>that's the first step that should be taken. And if

354
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:19.119
<v Speaker 5>the older generation wants to consider itself more mature than

355
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:20.839
<v Speaker 5>come on, let's rip the band aid off and call

356
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:21.480
<v Speaker 5>it what it is.

357
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:23.319
<v Speaker 3>They need to be the one to make the first move.

358
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:26.880
<v Speaker 5>But it is also necessary for a younger generation to

359
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.240
<v Speaker 5>try to meet in the middle and mature understanding the

360
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:32.279
<v Speaker 5>things that can cause a generational gap.

361
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:33.279
<v Speaker 3>So you're talking.

362
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.079
<v Speaker 5>About the things that today's young people are going through

363
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:39.400
<v Speaker 5>that the older generation can't even fathom. I've got a

364
00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:42.119
<v Speaker 5>list here, and this is, by the way, just a

365
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:44.359
<v Speaker 5>short list. If I was to write a book on this,

366
00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.359
<v Speaker 5>which I'm considering doing. But if I was to write

367
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.640
<v Speaker 5>a book on this, this list would be so much longer.

368
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.759
<v Speaker 5>This is just the bare minimum they are. Today's young

369
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.079
<v Speaker 5>people are the most fatherless generation in history.

370
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely fathers out of the picture.

371
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:03.519
<v Speaker 5>So many people have not even necessarily made the choice

372
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:07.359
<v Speaker 5>to have children, but that happened because they made relationship

373
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:09.799
<v Speaker 5>decisions and now there's a child brought into it and

374
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:14.920
<v Speaker 5>the father books it. So today's generation is also thanks

375
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:20.079
<v Speaker 5>to uptakes in substance abuse and a lot of different

376
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.200
<v Speaker 5>kinds of relationship dysfunction dynamics that we're dealing with on

377
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.200
<v Speaker 5>the daily, as well as a culture that puts so

378
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:31.279
<v Speaker 5>much emphasis on feeling romance instead of making decisions that

379
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:35.000
<v Speaker 5>are well rounded about the person that you think you

380
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:38.319
<v Speaker 5>should be with long term. Now we are also looking

381
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:41.279
<v Speaker 5>at what might be the most motherless generation. And I

382
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:43.160
<v Speaker 5>say that because, yeah, the mother is still in the

383
00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:46.640
<v Speaker 5>picture a lot of times, but she's usually a or

384
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:50.279
<v Speaker 5>she's often a single mom. She's a trying to work

385
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:52.839
<v Speaker 5>several different jobs, and at the end of the day,

386
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:55.359
<v Speaker 5>if she's allowed anything, she might go out with their

387
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:58.920
<v Speaker 5>girlfriends and try to bring home another boyfriend. We're dealing

388
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:02.799
<v Speaker 5>with a young generation that is not only the most

389
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:05.720
<v Speaker 5>fatherless generation humanity's ever known, or at least the Western

390
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.480
<v Speaker 5>world has ever known, we're looking at what is also

391
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.400
<v Speaker 5>ironically the most motherless generation. Because she might be there,

392
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.200
<v Speaker 5>but she's not there. She might be present, but she's

393
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:20.279
<v Speaker 5>somewhere else, and Grandma's and Grandpa's and that may not

394
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.519
<v Speaker 5>always be a bad thing. By the way, that Grandma's

395
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:25.160
<v Speaker 5>and Grandpa's might be a little bit more interactive with

396
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.680
<v Speaker 5>the grand babies too, So keep that in mind. If

397
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:30.000
<v Speaker 5>you're an older person you're thinking about that, this could

398
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.799
<v Speaker 5>be your chance to really connect with a child that

399
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:36.359
<v Speaker 5>maybe could be considered parentless, even if not directly.

400
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:41.000
<v Speaker 6>Most days don't look like an emergency. That's why most

401
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:45.839
<v Speaker 6>people never think about what they're carrying. We do because

402
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:50.599
<v Speaker 6>preparedness isn't about looking the party, it's about being ready anyway.

403
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:55.000
<v Speaker 6>Comfort isn't a luxury. It's what keeps you moving when

404
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.039
<v Speaker 6>the day goes longer than planned. That's why every Squatch

405
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:03.279
<v Speaker 6>survival pack is made here start to finish. Squatch builds

406
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.000
<v Speaker 6>packs for people who don't assume the day will stay easy.

407
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:12.559
<v Speaker 6>Ruguru Mofman built to last your missions and be passed

408
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:16.880
<v Speaker 6>down when you're done squatch survival gear ready for the

409
00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:20.599
<v Speaker 6>next one.

410
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:26.599
<v Speaker 5>There are all kinds of identity dysphoria ideologies around now. Listen,

411
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:28.480
<v Speaker 5>people hear me say that, and they think they know

412
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:31.960
<v Speaker 5>which one I'm talking about. Trust me, No, it's not

413
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:34.720
<v Speaker 5>just this one cute little thing that Christians like to

414
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.799
<v Speaker 5>point out and say, Well, you know, there's ideologies about

415
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:42.440
<v Speaker 5>dysphoria and identity going on over here. There's many, many, many, many,

416
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:46.119
<v Speaker 5>many dysphoria ideologies that are perpetuating the idea that we

417
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:49.119
<v Speaker 5>should question who we are and what we are before

418
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:51.720
<v Speaker 5>we've even gotten too kindergarten, so much to the point

419
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:56.440
<v Speaker 5>that we have already listen to this, we've already psychologically

420
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:03.440
<v Speaker 5>entered a pattern of internal identity crisis before we've ever

421
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 5>even got to about.

422
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:05.960
<v Speaker 3>The second grade.

423
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:09.119
<v Speaker 5>Now, this could be scientifically psychologically backed up.

424
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:11.319
<v Speaker 3>There's all kinds of things that prove this.

425
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.640
<v Speaker 5>So if this is where the evidence leads, we're looking

426
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.720
<v Speaker 5>at the idea that a second or third grader today

427
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:22.319
<v Speaker 5>might be, depending on their circumstances and depending on who's

428
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:23.359
<v Speaker 5>pouring into them or not.

429
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:25.880
<v Speaker 3>At home, dealing with an identity crisis.

430
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:28.119
<v Speaker 5>That somebody wouldn't have dealt with until they're mid thirties

431
00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:32.359
<v Speaker 5>to late forties. I mean, that is such an unbelievable

432
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:33.680
<v Speaker 5>psychological anomaly.

433
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:35.039
<v Speaker 3>We've never seen that before.

434
00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:37.400
<v Speaker 5>But it's thanks to the fact that the West has

435
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:39.839
<v Speaker 5>this ideology that continues to perpetuate.

436
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:41.720
<v Speaker 3>We need to question who we are what we are.

437
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.240
<v Speaker 5>You can't just come in and stand on something solid

438
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:47.319
<v Speaker 5>long enough to later ask those questions when it's more appropriate.

439
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:53.240
<v Speaker 5>That is the identity movements confusing everybody. We've got many,

440
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.920
<v Speaker 5>many young people being raised by or heavily on tech devices.

441
00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Now, this is a big one.

442
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:03.720
<v Speaker 5>Estimated sixty of young people around or under the age

443
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:08.359
<v Speaker 5>of twelve right now twelve are considered so many hours

444
00:22:09.160 --> 00:22:11.519
<v Speaker 5>in their own little world with a tech device, a phone,

445
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:14.759
<v Speaker 5>a tablet, whatever. That that is what we are considering

446
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.400
<v Speaker 5>an estimated approximate sixty percent of young people completely raising

447
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:25.000
<v Speaker 5>themselves on digital device. Okay, Now that also puts us

448
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.759
<v Speaker 5>in a position where we are dealing with what will

449
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:32.359
<v Speaker 5>be the most unbelievable trends in pornography. I'm not going

450
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:34.960
<v Speaker 5>to go into detail. I will not say I want

451
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.119
<v Speaker 5>tell else. I don't want to give anybody any ideas here,

452
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.160
<v Speaker 5>but we will be dealing with pornography in a way

453
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:42.039
<v Speaker 5>that is instant access to.

454
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:44.519
<v Speaker 3>People of all ages, people of all.

455
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:48.160
<v Speaker 5>Any walk of life. They've got their phone in their pocket, They've.

456
00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:49.359
<v Speaker 3>Got access to pornography.

457
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:53.440
<v Speaker 5>We've got artificial intelligence creating all kinds of strange things,

458
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:58.000
<v Speaker 5>everything from deep fake to complete Sora identified one AI

459
00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:01.880
<v Speaker 5>generated imagery that trends informed that we've never eaten.

460
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:05.640
<v Speaker 3>We can't even possibly prepare for this. We're there. So

461
00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:08.240
<v Speaker 3>we're looking at a generation that's going to be affected

462
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.119
<v Speaker 3>by that trend. Do you want to say something?

463
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yeah, one present and one thing I was want

464
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:19.119
<v Speaker 2>to say too, is just all the little nuanced programming

465
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:22.279
<v Speaker 2>things that they put into these children's shows. I can't

466
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:24.599
<v Speaker 2>count the times that I've seen parents, you know, do

467
00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:28.240
<v Speaker 2>a short or a TikTok reel or something and show,

468
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:31.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, like a ten or twelve second clip inside

469
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:35.759
<v Speaker 2>of their kids. I can't remember that something Pig Peggy

470
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:38.200
<v Speaker 2>the Pig or something like that show. And there's a

471
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:42.319
<v Speaker 2>homosexual act there, yes, And just all these different shows

472
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:44.680
<v Speaker 2>they keep putting all these you know, homosexual acts and

473
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:48.319
<v Speaker 2>little things in there to try to precondition and program

474
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:51.640
<v Speaker 2>and desensitize these children, and they think that it's normal.

475
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:54.759
<v Speaker 2>And then you have these superstars that you know, they're

476
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:59.039
<v Speaker 2>liberal and they raise their children and they'll have three children,

477
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:02.119
<v Speaker 2>and three of them will I'll be gay and trance.

478
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:05.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what is the probability of that? Know, these

479
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:09.200
<v Speaker 2>parents are pushing these things on their children.

480
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:09.960
<v Speaker 3>You know.

481
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, and here's the thing, I'm probably I'm probably more

482
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:19.640
<v Speaker 5>conservative in my stance theologically about a lot of these

483
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:23.119
<v Speaker 5>kinds of ideologies that you're talking about. So in case

484
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:24.960
<v Speaker 5>somebody is listening to me and they're wondering if I

485
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:28.480
<v Speaker 5>take a more liberal theological stance, I do not. However,

486
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:32.559
<v Speaker 5>I will say that even if somebody wanted to make

487
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:36.759
<v Speaker 5>the very secularistic argument, the very secular argument, that these

488
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:37.680
<v Speaker 5>are questions.

489
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:39.720
<v Speaker 3>We should be asking, you know, who am I? What

490
00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:42.319
<v Speaker 3>am I? What am I attracted to? What? You know?

491
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:45.960
<v Speaker 3>What does it or does not do it for me?

492
00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:48.920
<v Speaker 5>Intellectually speaking, when I'm having a conversation with the person,

493
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.359
<v Speaker 5>all these different things that lead to the question of

494
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:57.240
<v Speaker 5>integrity and intelligence of a person, all the things related

495
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:01.799
<v Speaker 5>to identity. When those questions are brought up, a person

496
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:04.119
<v Speaker 5>might say, with the very secular minds that we should

497
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:07.839
<v Speaker 5>be asking those things because everything else is blind acceptance

498
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:09.119
<v Speaker 5>of what society has told us.

499
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:12.799
<v Speaker 3>That's a big leading narrative, right, Okay, Even if that were.

500
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:19.039
<v Speaker 5>True, psychology, secular psychology, having nothing to do with Christianity

501
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:22.359
<v Speaker 5>or theology, has identified that those questions are now being

502
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.480
<v Speaker 5>asked way too young, that we need to instead go

503
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:29.400
<v Speaker 5>back to a time where young people were brought in

504
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 5>and being told, look, this is what you were born as.

505
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:35.839
<v Speaker 5>If you want to change that or question that, stand

506
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:38.839
<v Speaker 5>on what you are for a bit, lean into what

507
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:41.640
<v Speaker 5>you are for a bit. If you're already rejecting what

508
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:43.200
<v Speaker 5>you were born to be by the time you are

509
00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:46.200
<v Speaker 5>a kindergartener, then you never gave what or who you

510
00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:50.000
<v Speaker 5>were ever a chance, And you surelee never gave a

511
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:53.799
<v Speaker 5>chance to what God might have to say about what

512
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:56.160
<v Speaker 5>He created you to be and be brought into the

513
00:25:56.200 --> 00:26:01.200
<v Speaker 5>greatness of what is His divine plan for you. You know,

514
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:03.039
<v Speaker 5>one of the things that kind of just irks me

515
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:05.759
<v Speaker 5>a little bit. We get this verse all messed up,

516
00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:08.440
<v Speaker 5>messed up in the church, that God will give you

517
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 5>the desires of your heart. Listen, I have studied that

518
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.359
<v Speaker 5>verse all the contributing languages, all the etymological roots of

519
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:18.559
<v Speaker 5>every single word. I have parsed that verse a million

520
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:22.200
<v Speaker 5>times and looked at every single time that the historical greats.

521
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:25.759
<v Speaker 5>I'm talking the scholars, the commentators, I'm talking to church fathers,

522
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.279
<v Speaker 5>the historians, all of the greats throughout history that have

523
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:32.319
<v Speaker 5>said what this verse means and cross references to other

524
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:35.920
<v Speaker 5>moments in the Bible that are relevant to parsing its meaning.

525
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:40.359
<v Speaker 5>It does not mean this selfish thing that the Western

526
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:42.240
<v Speaker 5>world has made it, where God is going to give

527
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.359
<v Speaker 5>me what I want. Much to the contrary, once you

528
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:47.079
<v Speaker 5>really break it down.

529
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:51.240
<v Speaker 3>That verse means this God from birth gave you.

530
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:55.839
<v Speaker 5>Something that is a gift that is used for his purposes,

531
00:26:55.880 --> 00:26:59.359
<v Speaker 5>and you will want for that thing in the deepest

532
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:02.200
<v Speaker 5>of your soul and the subconscious of your mind and

533
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.839
<v Speaker 5>your heart of hearts. You will want for that and

534
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:07.960
<v Speaker 5>hunger for that way to connect with the Divine and

535
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:09.960
<v Speaker 5>use that gifting for his purposes.

536
00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:12.039
<v Speaker 3>And he gave it to you already.

537
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:15.920
<v Speaker 5>So if you're not using that gift for the Lord,

538
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:20.119
<v Speaker 5>then you are already going to experience a never ending

539
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:22.440
<v Speaker 5>hunger and thirst. You're never going to be happy with

540
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:25.039
<v Speaker 5>who you are, So how backwards have we gotten this?

541
00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:27.359
<v Speaker 5>God will give you the desire of your heart. He

542
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:30.519
<v Speaker 5>already has. He instilled it within you before you were

543
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.640
<v Speaker 5>ever born. He instilled it within you before you had

544
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:36.799
<v Speaker 5>physical hairs to count on your head, of which he

545
00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:40.000
<v Speaker 5>has counted everyone before you ever entered your mother's womb.

546
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:42.880
<v Speaker 5>The Lord had a plan for your life Jeremiah twenty

547
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:45.680
<v Speaker 5>nine to eleven. The Lord has a plan for you

548
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:48.039
<v Speaker 5>to prosper and not to fail in what he has

549
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:49.920
<v Speaker 5>called you to do. So, the Lord will give you

550
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:53.720
<v Speaker 5>the desires of your heart. Yes, he already did. Get

551
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:55.839
<v Speaker 5>in touch with what he has called you to be,

552
00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:59.400
<v Speaker 5>and then take that gift and use it for his purposes.

553
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:02.839
<v Speaker 3>Get close to the divine. It's gonna unlock something within you. Listen.

554
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.279
<v Speaker 5>It's not new age madness. It's not there's no formula.

555
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:09.559
<v Speaker 5>We're talking about a young generation that is going to

556
00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:12.440
<v Speaker 5>be so broken that what I just said that full run.

557
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:15.480
<v Speaker 3>And I'm sorry if I'm just preaching, But if you get.

558
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:18.359
<v Speaker 5>That and hand it to a young person and get

559
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:21.640
<v Speaker 5>that to sink in to all past all the pain,

560
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:25.720
<v Speaker 5>past all the heartache, past all of the hurt, that

561
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:28.759
<v Speaker 5>can we just be honest I think church has had

562
00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:31.440
<v Speaker 5>a lot to do with that, the hurt and the

563
00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:36.279
<v Speaker 5>religious abuse, the judgmentalism the old suits. Not only that,

564
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:38.480
<v Speaker 5>but the church has also become a place that young

565
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:40.640
<v Speaker 5>people they can't rely on biblical teaching.

566
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:43.079
<v Speaker 3>They can't it's like they can see past it.

567
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:46.759
<v Speaker 5>They don't necessarily have one hundred percent knowledge of what

568
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:50.359
<v Speaker 5>the Bible says. But when they enter a place of

569
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:55.119
<v Speaker 5>worship and the sermon is very superficial, and the worship

570
00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:57.519
<v Speaker 5>is very MEMI mean, gimme, gimme, I want, I want,

571
00:28:57.599 --> 00:28:59.319
<v Speaker 5>I need, I want, and it's all about me, and

572
00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:01.240
<v Speaker 5>we're just kind of saying flowery words.

573
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:03.559
<v Speaker 3>When the worship is.

574
00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:09.880
<v Speaker 5>Pancake thin and the sermon is pancake thin, and the

575
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:12.640
<v Speaker 5>church becomes a social club. Listen, you don't have to

576
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:15.160
<v Speaker 5>know what the Bible says. A young person can feel

577
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:21.920
<v Speaker 5>superficiality and it tastes like bile to them. Meanwhile, we

578
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:23.920
<v Speaker 5>want to look down at them and be the pretty people.

579
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:26.759
<v Speaker 5>So there's judgmentalism from the old suits. There's a lack

580
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.720
<v Speaker 5>of true biblical teaching. There is an over emphasis on

581
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:33.680
<v Speaker 5>love or sin. By the way, this is referred to

582
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:38.119
<v Speaker 5>as Antinomianism versus legalism in theology, and it's a big deal.

583
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:40.960
<v Speaker 3>We have to find that sweet spot in the middle.

584
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:44.960
<v Speaker 5>Legalism is, you know, we're going to hold you accountable

585
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:47.559
<v Speaker 5>like the Pharisees did. Did you wash your hands right?

586
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:49.880
<v Speaker 5>Did you put the cap back on the toothpaste bottle right?

587
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:55.400
<v Speaker 5>Whereas Antinomianism is God is so loving and all loving

588
00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:57.799
<v Speaker 5>and all love, love, love, love, that we can do

589
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:00.599
<v Speaker 5>all kinds of things and just come to Him for

590
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:02.960
<v Speaker 5>his forgiveness and grace because he's just cool like that.

591
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:03.519
<v Speaker 3>Bruh.

592
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:05.680
<v Speaker 5>Well, the thing is is that even Paul said God

593
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:08.559
<v Speaker 5>forbid that he would work that way, then no, no,

594
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:11.240
<v Speaker 5>we should not sin more abundantly so that his grace

595
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.160
<v Speaker 5>can abound. This is a sweet spot in the middle.

596
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:17.680
<v Speaker 5>We've got a hit and young people need that boundary.

597
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:18.119
<v Speaker 3>Watch this.

598
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:21.079
<v Speaker 5>You take a child, you take away all of their boundaries,

599
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:22.359
<v Speaker 5>give them anything they want.

600
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:23.279
<v Speaker 3>What are they gonna do.

601
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:26.000
<v Speaker 5>They're gonna live on McDonald's and candy. They are going

602
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:27.920
<v Speaker 5>to scream every time they don't get what they want.

603
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:29.559
<v Speaker 5>I could go on this list, but I don't need to.

604
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:32.720
<v Speaker 5>Your listeners are intelligent enough to understand a child without

605
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:37.240
<v Speaker 5>boundaries as a child out of control. Societally, a young

606
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.119
<v Speaker 5>generation without boundaries is a young generation out of control.

607
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:44.359
<v Speaker 5>They are going to continue to feel entitled to everything

608
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:46.440
<v Speaker 5>and throw fits when they don't get what they want.

609
00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:48.400
<v Speaker 3>So they need boundaries. No, you can't have that.

610
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:51.079
<v Speaker 5>Yes, this is a sin. No you can't do this

611
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:53.880
<v Speaker 5>to yourself. It's going to have consequences later. Do the

612
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:56.359
<v Speaker 5>smart thing, be wise. These are the things we need

613
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:58.319
<v Speaker 5>to pour into them. But if we go too far,

614
00:30:58.359 --> 00:31:01.000
<v Speaker 5>we've hit that legalistic mark. We don't like you because

615
00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:04.000
<v Speaker 5>you have tattoos. Please go smoke your cancer sticks fifteen

616
00:31:04.039 --> 00:31:05.480
<v Speaker 5>feet more away from the building.

617
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:11.079
<v Speaker 3>Hello. Somewhere in the middle is a sweet spot. And

618
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:12.319
<v Speaker 3>I do.

619
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:15.920
<v Speaker 5>Feel like there's a lot of very superficial Christians right

620
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.000
<v Speaker 5>now that are saying, I just I can't bring myself

621
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:19.319
<v Speaker 5>to care.

622
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:19.559
<v Speaker 3>Now.

623
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:21.960
<v Speaker 5>On the outside, they're going to do all the flowery things.

624
00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:24.319
<v Speaker 5>They're going to give you the line, oh praise Jesus.

625
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:26.039
<v Speaker 5>I want them to come to our church. I love

626
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:28.799
<v Speaker 5>I hope that we need our church to grow, you know,

627
00:31:28.839 --> 00:31:30.559
<v Speaker 5>and we need to be there for Sally Sue blah

628
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:32.160
<v Speaker 5>blah blah. But at the end of the day, They're

629
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:34.480
<v Speaker 5>going to do a lot of very irritating things, things

630
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:36.440
<v Speaker 5>that I believe, and I don't want to speak for God,

631
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:40.440
<v Speaker 5>things that I believe the Lord will personally find very irritating.

632
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Like a prayer request.

633
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:46.519
<v Speaker 5>That's a prayer request, but really it's just gossip shrouded

634
00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:47.880
<v Speaker 5>as a prayer request.

635
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:49.480
<v Speaker 3>We need to be there for sister Susi.

636
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:51.519
<v Speaker 5>And by the way, now that we're talking about Sister Susie,

637
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:52.039
<v Speaker 5>here's all the.

638
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:52.599
<v Speaker 3>Things she did.

639
00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:55.599
<v Speaker 5>It's just like, we need to find that place where

640
00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:59.480
<v Speaker 5>true humility and true love meets with that next generation.

641
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:02.240
<v Speaker 5>And boy, when we do, we're not going to just

642
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:06.720
<v Speaker 5>see a revival. We are going to see a great awakening.

643
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Mmm. Well, you already chipped into the next thing I

644
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:16.359
<v Speaker 2>was going to ask, because even with me, you know,

645
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:19.480
<v Speaker 2>we we've talked about revival quiet a bit, and then

646
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:26.640
<v Speaker 2>you've mentioned great awakening. Just by the adjective great, I

647
00:32:26.640 --> 00:32:30.640
<v Speaker 2>assume that that is bigger, something more broad with those

648
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:33.839
<v Speaker 2>two terms. I mean, what exactly is the difference? I

649
00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:38.359
<v Speaker 2>know when that term is used. A name that pops

650
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:40.920
<v Speaker 2>into my mind is like Billy Graham. You know, he

651
00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:44.359
<v Speaker 2>was traveling the nation and preaching, doing the tent revival stuff.

652
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.640
<v Speaker 2>But I could be wrong, but that's what pops in

653
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:47.599
<v Speaker 2>my head when I hear that.

654
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:54.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, okay, so there's a merry war going between different society.

655
00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Societal groups that would say that the Billy.

656
00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:59.720
<v Speaker 5>Graham era was or was not a great awakening because

657
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:03.519
<v Speaker 5>and here's the big stipulator, it didn't necessarily spread beyond

658
00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:07.839
<v Speaker 5>the US, because that's what would consider something great. But listen,

659
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:12.559
<v Speaker 5>let's put technical terms aside for a minute, just based

660
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:15.519
<v Speaker 5>on what the actual words are describing from when they

661
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:16.400
<v Speaker 5>were first coined.

662
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:19.599
<v Speaker 3>We have three terms here and I'll hit them real quick.

663
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:24.440
<v Speaker 5>Revival, great awakening, and then we've got a third one reformation. Okay,

664
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:29.599
<v Speaker 5>now a revival. They all match their words. This is

665
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:31.880
<v Speaker 5>how you can remember because they're literally named after what

666
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:35.039
<v Speaker 5>I'm about to say. A revival is a reviving of

667
00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:38.559
<v Speaker 5>the saints. That means those who are already saved, the

668
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:41.720
<v Speaker 5>people who are already believers, they get revived in the spirit,

669
00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:45.759
<v Speaker 5>They get excited about God again, they get real about

670
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:47.799
<v Speaker 5>being in the presence of God, and they say, let's

671
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:50.440
<v Speaker 5>reach this next generation. Okay, So a revival and a

672
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:53.759
<v Speaker 5>great awakening often happened hand in hand and one usually

673
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:56.599
<v Speaker 5>will spawn the other, and it's usually revival then great awakening.

674
00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:59.960
<v Speaker 5>We're all you could say that there's already a revival happening.

675
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:03.599
<v Speaker 5>It's just happening outside the church. I see more Bible

676
00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:08.119
<v Speaker 5>studies happening in tattoo parlors right now and cigar smoke

677
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:12.199
<v Speaker 5>filled bars than I do in church. These people are

678
00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:14.519
<v Speaker 5>radical about Jesus. They just know that in most of

679
00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:17.039
<v Speaker 5>the cases they can't find Jesus in church, so they

680
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:19.440
<v Speaker 5>go elsewhere to find him. So there is a little

681
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:21.960
<v Speaker 5>bit of a revival happening. It's just that we're not

682
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:26.880
<v Speaker 5>seeing it, but we are seeing the movement occurring. Okay,

683
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:31.840
<v Speaker 5>that's revival. Great awakening. Great awakening is when, as the

684
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:38.320
<v Speaker 5>name implies, it's great meaning massive meaning far spread, usually

685
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:43.320
<v Speaker 5>global into some degree at least semi global, over many, many,

686
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:46.519
<v Speaker 5>many territories and regions, and it's an own awakening. Now,

687
00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:49.639
<v Speaker 5>the difference between a revival and an awakening in that

688
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:52.760
<v Speaker 5>term is that an awakening awakens a person to the

689
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.599
<v Speaker 5>presence of God who's never known him before. So it's

690
00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:01.119
<v Speaker 5>essentially a saving of the unsaved, a reaching of the unsaved.

691
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:02.719
<v Speaker 3>End mass all over.

692
00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:06.480
<v Speaker 5>So a revival, a reviving of the saints. The saints

693
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:08.920
<v Speaker 5>get excited. The people who already believed in God, they're

694
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:09.800
<v Speaker 5>all about it again.

695
00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:11.440
<v Speaker 3>They're excited.

696
00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:15.920
<v Speaker 5>They can't be stopped preaching the word of God, meeting

697
00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:19.000
<v Speaker 5>the needs of younger people, the messy ones, meeting the

698
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:21.000
<v Speaker 5>needs of the people who aren't the pretty people in

699
00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:23.840
<v Speaker 5>the church that look and talk like them, Meeting them

700
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:26.880
<v Speaker 5>at the altar with true love and true acceptance, an

701
00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:31.119
<v Speaker 5>understanding of this person's situation, a true interest in helping

702
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:35.119
<v Speaker 5>to disciple them beyond just the Antinomianism, all.

703
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:37.320
<v Speaker 3>God is love or the legalism.

704
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:41.039
<v Speaker 5>God is waiting to throw a strike at you from

705
00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:42.119
<v Speaker 5>his heavenly position.

706
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:44.159
<v Speaker 3>This is what a great awakening does.

707
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:47.480
<v Speaker 5>People who have never known the Lord before come en

708
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:50.599
<v Speaker 5>massed to know of him all right now. A reformation

709
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:54.400
<v Speaker 5>is a theological and technical term. What it means is

710
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:59.639
<v Speaker 5>when revival and a great awakening occur, that is an

711
00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:03.280
<v Speaker 5>exciting meant It's an individualistic thing. God is pouring himself

712
00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:07.159
<v Speaker 5>into the hearts of individuals. But a reformation that cleans

713
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:10.239
<v Speaker 5>up the church, the theology that is bad goes out

714
00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:14.360
<v Speaker 5>the window. We start to reject and mass reject sermons

715
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:17.079
<v Speaker 5>that simply don't don't care, don't care whether or not

716
00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:20.960
<v Speaker 5>offends people. If they do not fit the word of God,

717
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:23.559
<v Speaker 5>if they don't follow the word of God, that teaching

718
00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:24.199
<v Speaker 5>goes out.

719
00:36:24.440 --> 00:36:26.280
<v Speaker 3>We look at the hierarchy.

720
00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:29.360
<v Speaker 5>Who's in charge here, who's the biggest voice, who's the

721
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:30.880
<v Speaker 5>one that's the most influential.

722
00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Are they actually preaching the word of God or not?

723
00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:34.119
<v Speaker 3>If they're not, they're out.

724
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:36.880
<v Speaker 5>That's a reformation, just like Martin Luther did with the

725
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:41.920
<v Speaker 5>Catholic Church in case your your audience is not aware

726
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:44.719
<v Speaker 5>of what it is to sell or purchase.

727
00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:47.679
<v Speaker 3>An indulgence at that time of Martin Luther's time.

728
00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:50.880
<v Speaker 5>Essentially that was to simplify it, and this is a

729
00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:54.960
<v Speaker 5>gross oversimplification, but to simplify it. If I were to say,

730
00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:57.920
<v Speaker 5>if you, you know, give give me or my priest

731
00:36:58.039 --> 00:37:02.400
<v Speaker 5>you know, such and such thousand dollars for the upraising

732
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:07.880
<v Speaker 5>or the building of Saint Peter's Square, the Basilica, and

733
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:11.199
<v Speaker 5>we will, then I can guarantee you and my priest

734
00:37:11.239 --> 00:37:13.159
<v Speaker 5>will even speak the words over you that your great

735
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:15.039
<v Speaker 5>aunt Mary is going to get a better afterlife, or

736
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:17.840
<v Speaker 5>you will, or you know, all of these different things.

737
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:21.119
<v Speaker 5>But it was an afterlife promise in exchange for the

738
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.599
<v Speaker 5>sale of an indulgence, which essentially just put money in

739
00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:27.320
<v Speaker 5>the Catholic Church's pocket. Well that was what led to

740
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:30.400
<v Speaker 5>the Reformation. So now you understand what the word reformation means.

741
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:33.119
<v Speaker 5>Because just as Martin Luther looked at the church and went,

742
00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:36.559
<v Speaker 5>this is sinful, this is unbiblical. There's nothing about this

743
00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:39.280
<v Speaker 5>that aligned with any verse in the Bible anywhere. This

744
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:42.440
<v Speaker 5>needs to be thrown out, and it fractured the church

745
00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:46.079
<v Speaker 5>and returned a lot of people back to the square root.

746
00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:48.400
<v Speaker 5>What do we see in church? I mean, what do

747
00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:52.079
<v Speaker 5>we see in the word. That is what Martin Luther did.

748
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:55.239
<v Speaker 5>That is what a reformation is. Bad theology is going

749
00:37:55.280 --> 00:37:57.239
<v Speaker 5>out the window. This is in our very near future.

750
00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:00.679
<v Speaker 5>I'm so excited about this, Yeah.

751
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:02.440
<v Speaker 2>One hundred percent. I mean we can already see it

752
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:06.480
<v Speaker 2>starting to happen, just from conversations like from people like

753
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:09.639
<v Speaker 2>your dad and doctor Michael Hayeser getting rid of some

754
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:14.199
<v Speaker 2>of these you know, whitewashed make you feel good, you know,

755
00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:17.320
<v Speaker 2>theology itching ear type stuff and just letting you see

756
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:20.800
<v Speaker 2>what the texts say. Yeah, but one thing I was wanted,

757
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:24.519
<v Speaker 2>I want to get your opinion on was all these

758
00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:26.639
<v Speaker 2>greats that we look at, you know, like I mentioned

759
00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:29.519
<v Speaker 2>Billy Graham earlier, and Martin Luther King Junior and some

760
00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:32.039
<v Speaker 2>of these you know Christian just big name people that

761
00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:36.320
<v Speaker 2>we look up to. It seems like we really put

762
00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:39.000
<v Speaker 2>these people on pedestals and that they were just saints

763
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:42.400
<v Speaker 2>and it never did any wrong. But I'd heard you

764
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:45.119
<v Speaker 2>mentioned that you kind of looked into these people and

765
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:47.400
<v Speaker 2>these were the rough ones of that generation.

766
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:50.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, every single one of them were. Well, you know,

767
00:38:50.840 --> 00:38:56.719
<v Speaker 5>I mentioned Martin Luther, and even today, to this very day,

768
00:38:57.119 --> 00:38:59.880
<v Speaker 5>depending on what side of the Catholic or Protestant line

769
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:02.760
<v Speaker 5>that you're on, you'll hear people still refer to him

770
00:39:03.039 --> 00:39:06.920
<v Speaker 5>as just this guy. He was depressed. You couldn't reason

771
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:10.400
<v Speaker 5>with him. He was haughty. He was He would march

772
00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:12.920
<v Speaker 5>into a place and he would just start, you know,

773
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:15.159
<v Speaker 5>tearing the walls down. He was so mad, he was

774
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:18.519
<v Speaker 5>out of control. Listen, all of that is true. If

775
00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:23.239
<v Speaker 5>you read you know, the shiny geographical account or the

776
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:27.760
<v Speaker 5>shiny biographical account of Martin Luther, you're going to read

777
00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:31.159
<v Speaker 5>that he was this devout man who always sought after

778
00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:31.559
<v Speaker 5>the Lord.

779
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:35.280
<v Speaker 3>Listen. He was that too, that's the point.

780
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:40.880
<v Speaker 5>Every leader that we've ever had had what we can

781
00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:44.119
<v Speaker 5>look back on now as really impressive marks.

782
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:49.039
<v Speaker 2>With the price of eggs and bread slowly approaching a

783
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:53.559
<v Speaker 2>day's wages, it's more important than ever than to secure

784
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the value of your dollar. One thing that has remained

785
00:39:57.000 --> 00:40:01.000
<v Speaker 2>steady is gold and silver throughout the ages. Back in

786
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Roman times, a piece of gold would get you a

787
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:09.559
<v Speaker 2>toga that's the equivalent of three thousand dollars today. That

788
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:13.000
<v Speaker 2>still remains true to this day. For a full suit

789
00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:17.440
<v Speaker 2>shoes tie, you're looking at about three thousand dollars because

790
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:21.599
<v Speaker 2>gold and silver holds its value. So if you're tired

791
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:25.480
<v Speaker 2>of watching the value of your dollar go down every

792
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:29.800
<v Speaker 2>single day, it's time to get off your hands and

793
00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:34.079
<v Speaker 2>make a move. I recently teamed with Cornerstone Asset Medals.

794
00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Reach out to those guys for all of your financial needs.

795
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:42.320
<v Speaker 2>It's time to trade in that forever devaluing dollar into

796
00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:45.599
<v Speaker 2>hard assets that you can hold like gold and silver.

797
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Be sure and check the link down in the description

798
00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:50.760
<v Speaker 2>with the number on the screen, and hey, tell them

799
00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:51.559
<v Speaker 2>Doc Brown sent you.

800
00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:54.400
<v Speaker 3>They sought the Lord.

801
00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:58.159
<v Speaker 5>They wanted scriptural integrity, including Billy Bramt.

802
00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:00.840
<v Speaker 3>They had things that we would look at. Go. Really,

803
00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:04.239
<v Speaker 3>I did not see that coming from that guy. Dwight

804
00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:05.519
<v Speaker 3>Moody was illiterate.

805
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:09.960
<v Speaker 5>Dwight Moody, we're talking the greatest, in my opinion, the

806
00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:15.519
<v Speaker 5>greatest of all great Awakening preachers. He couldn't even read

807
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:18.000
<v Speaker 5>the Bible. He had to have it read to him. Now,

808
00:41:18.199 --> 00:41:21.440
<v Speaker 5>in his later life he did eventually learn. But the

809
00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:24.760
<v Speaker 5>thing is is that throughout that wonderful moment where he's preaching,

810
00:41:25.159 --> 00:41:29.280
<v Speaker 5>he's preaching so hard and so on fire, right that

811
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:34.440
<v Speaker 5>the balcony in a building with so many pounds allowed

812
00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:39.360
<v Speaker 5>in this structured balcony collapses. And then people wanted to

813
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:41.440
<v Speaker 5>They wanted to come to him.

814
00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:43.079
<v Speaker 3>And give their hearts to the Lord. Right.

815
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:46.199
<v Speaker 5>Well, we're talking about a guy who literally went from nineteen.

816
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:48.559
<v Speaker 5>I got to talk to you for a second about

817
00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:50.599
<v Speaker 5>White Moody because he's just so cute, and you'll understand

818
00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:52.320
<v Speaker 5>what I mean about him being a messy one.

819
00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:56.400
<v Speaker 3>He was went through his own little rebel phase. Right,

820
00:41:56.559 --> 00:41:58.079
<v Speaker 3>He didn't know what to make of the Lord.

821
00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:00.280
<v Speaker 5>He goes to his shoe store, gets a job, it

822
00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:03.360
<v Speaker 5>gets saved. That shoe store to this day still has

823
00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:05.280
<v Speaker 5>the plaque or this is the building where Dwhite mood

824
00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:05.760
<v Speaker 5>he got saved.

825
00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Is very adorable. But he goes on not even being

826
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:09.599
<v Speaker 3>able to read.

827
00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:14.360
<v Speaker 5>He wants to serve the Lord so much with whatever

828
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:18.039
<v Speaker 5>he's got that he just takes the gospel message to

829
00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:21.239
<v Speaker 5>the streets of Chicago. A street in Chicago, by the way,

830
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:25.360
<v Speaker 5>that is literally so riddled with gang activity that at

831
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:27.840
<v Speaker 5>the time in history it was called Little Hell Chicago.

832
00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:31.199
<v Speaker 5>But he goes into this old abandoned train car and

833
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:33.599
<v Speaker 5>he starts jumping up and down all excited.

834
00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:34.199
<v Speaker 3>I got a.

835
00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:36.079
<v Speaker 5>Message for you, guys. I can't wait to share it

836
00:42:36.079 --> 00:42:39.440
<v Speaker 5>with you. And we're talking crossing the switchblade era. All

837
00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:42.440
<v Speaker 5>these you know, people are reaching for their switchblades and

838
00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:46.159
<v Speaker 5>they're reaching for their pocket knives, and the story is incredible.

839
00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:49.840
<v Speaker 5>He's standing there, jumping up and down like a lunatic,

840
00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:53.320
<v Speaker 5>talking about the love of Jesus, and all these gangsters

841
00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:55.480
<v Speaker 5>come in and they are going to kill this guy.

842
00:42:55.519 --> 00:42:57.159
<v Speaker 5>They are going to take him down. And by the

843
00:42:57.280 --> 00:42:59.440
<v Speaker 5>end of the night most of them were saved, and

844
00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:02.679
<v Speaker 5>the other one went home confused. And the Lord had

845
00:43:03.039 --> 00:43:07.239
<v Speaker 5>already planted a seed of curiosity about himself within these minds.

846
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:10.199
<v Speaker 5>They became his greatest disciples, and they were taking the

847
00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:13.519
<v Speaker 5>Gospel all over the world. Dwight Moody became one of

848
00:43:13.559 --> 00:43:16.119
<v Speaker 5>the largest preachers of the Great Awakening.

849
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:18.559
<v Speaker 3>He was speaking to ten thousand people at a time.

850
00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:21.079
<v Speaker 5>There were times that he went into a church or

851
00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:23.760
<v Speaker 5>a gathering, even outdoors. It was so big they had

852
00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:26.400
<v Speaker 5>to take it outdoors and he would speak as loud

853
00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:27.119
<v Speaker 5>as he could.

854
00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:28.840
<v Speaker 3>And so many hundreds of people back.

855
00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:30.960
<v Speaker 5>They had to turn around and tell the next people

856
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:33.159
<v Speaker 5>what they were saying because we didn't have pa systems

857
00:43:33.239 --> 00:43:35.800
<v Speaker 5>or any kind of an amplification at the time.

858
00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:37.679
<v Speaker 3>This is how big this guy became.

859
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:40.760
<v Speaker 5>And he couldn't even read the Word of God until

860
00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:41.559
<v Speaker 5>his later life.

861
00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:43.119
<v Speaker 3>We are looking at.

862
00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:47.119
<v Speaker 5>A time where all of these Great Awakening preachers. By

863
00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:50.320
<v Speaker 5>the way, Billy Graham once said it's adorable. It's in

864
00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:53.719
<v Speaker 5>one of his biographical books. He once said, I don't

865
00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:55.639
<v Speaker 5>ever want to preach. I don't ever want people to

866
00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:57.599
<v Speaker 5>look at me. I don't ever want to speak in public.

867
00:43:57.639 --> 00:43:59.800
<v Speaker 5>I just want to run a farm. And look at

868
00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:02.960
<v Speaker 5>what became of him. I mean, every one of these

869
00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:06.559
<v Speaker 5>people had this moment where they said, I am not

870
00:44:06.760 --> 00:44:09.679
<v Speaker 5>cut out for this God I don't want any part

871
00:44:09.719 --> 00:44:09.920
<v Speaker 5>of it.

872
00:44:10.519 --> 00:44:12.239
<v Speaker 3>Use me in a back room, or use me for

873
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:15.039
<v Speaker 3>this over here, use me for that. I don't want this.

874
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:18.199
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna do it. I won't do it. And

875
00:44:18.239 --> 00:44:19.400
<v Speaker 3>then God finally gets a.

876
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:21.559
<v Speaker 5>Hold of them, and when they bring what they have,

877
00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:25.920
<v Speaker 5>what tiny little thing they have, when they finally bring

878
00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:28.320
<v Speaker 5>it and say yes Lord, with what the Lord has

879
00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:31.599
<v Speaker 5>given them, he does something that is so mysterious that

880
00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:35.239
<v Speaker 5>even aristocrats at the time of Dwight Moody said, I

881
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:36.159
<v Speaker 5>don't get this guy.

882
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:37.960
<v Speaker 3>He's unarticulate.

883
00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:41.559
<v Speaker 5>He doesn't even know half of the scriptures, and he's

884
00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:43.880
<v Speaker 5>up there and he's preaching, and he's so excited that

885
00:44:43.920 --> 00:44:46.440
<v Speaker 5>people are coming in droves to give their heart to

886
00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:47.760
<v Speaker 5>the Lord end mass.

887
00:44:48.239 --> 00:44:49.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't understand him.

888
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:53.400
<v Speaker 5>And one man, Lord Shaftesbury, a well known aristocrat at

889
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:56.119
<v Speaker 5>the time of Moody, even said, I guess the only

890
00:44:56.199 --> 00:45:00.079
<v Speaker 5>explanation I can give for Dwight Moody is that the

891
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:03.400
<v Speaker 5>the Lord uses the foolish things to confound the wise.

892
00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:08.239
<v Speaker 5>We're talking about an entire generation of messy ones are coming.

893
00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:11.320
<v Speaker 5>The messy ones are coming. Are we going to see

894
00:45:11.360 --> 00:45:14.280
<v Speaker 5>them or not? Jonathan Edwards didn't know what to do.

895
00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:17.800
<v Speaker 3>He was just the grandson of mister Stoddard.

896
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:19.599
<v Speaker 5>We're talking about, you know, some guy who was a

897
00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:22.280
<v Speaker 5>big deal preacher in his small town. Around the time

898
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:27.920
<v Speaker 5>that even people within Jonathan Edsward's family were being massacred,

899
00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:30.280
<v Speaker 5>at the time that the Native Americans and the early

900
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:33.079
<v Speaker 5>people who stole land from the Native Americans were going

901
00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:34.760
<v Speaker 5>to war and everybody.

902
00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:35.280
<v Speaker 3>Was scalping each other.

903
00:45:35.320 --> 00:45:38.519
<v Speaker 5>He lost some of his own personal family to those conflicts,

904
00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:39.519
<v Speaker 5>and he's.

905
00:45:39.360 --> 00:45:41.440
<v Speaker 3>Just sitting there, going, God, who are you? I don't

906
00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:43.199
<v Speaker 3>even know. I'm so confused.

907
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:46.599
<v Speaker 5>My family, half of them are dealing with this never

908
00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:50.400
<v Speaker 5>ending heartbreak that you caused, or the heartbreak that you

909
00:45:50.519 --> 00:45:54.679
<v Speaker 5>allowed to happen rather and grandfather's in there and he's

910
00:45:54.760 --> 00:45:55.840
<v Speaker 5>just screaming, too high Heaven.

911
00:45:55.920 --> 00:45:57.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I don't want nothing to do with this.

912
00:45:57.679 --> 00:45:58.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm completely confused.

913
00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:01.719
<v Speaker 5>And he becomes the Great Awakening, leader of the first

914
00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:06.360
<v Speaker 5>Great Awakening, along with a crazy eyed, literally born, cross

915
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:10.440
<v Speaker 5>eyed George Whitefield, who was so offensive in his theatrics.

916
00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:12.360
<v Speaker 3>He'd walk into a church and he'd get.

917
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:14.440
<v Speaker 5>So excited to see today, we'd see this as a

918
00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:16.440
<v Speaker 5>good thing. But he'd walk into a church, and he

919
00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:18.760
<v Speaker 5>would get so excited at the pulpit that he would

920
00:46:18.760 --> 00:46:19.840
<v Speaker 5>act out the scenes.

921
00:46:20.039 --> 00:46:20.920
<v Speaker 3>So here's no end.

922
00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:22.960
<v Speaker 5>He'd run over to this part of the stage and

923
00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:24.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, the rain is coming down and.

924
00:46:24.840 --> 00:46:25.400
<v Speaker 3>Blah blah blah.

925
00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:29.159
<v Speaker 5>He'd get so excited and theatrical and he would pound

926
00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:32.960
<v Speaker 5>the pulpits that people literally started kicking him out of church.

927
00:46:33.280 --> 00:46:37.000
<v Speaker 5>This is why he became known George Whitefield, officially known

928
00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:39.760
<v Speaker 5>look it up as the outdoor Preacher. Why because he

929
00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:42.360
<v Speaker 5>kept getting kicked out of church. So he said, all right,

930
00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:45.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm unstoppable. Let's go outside. You want me to leave,

931
00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:47.079
<v Speaker 5>here we go. And he'd walk a one hundred feet

932
00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:48.480
<v Speaker 5>from the building. If you want to hear what I

933
00:46:48.519 --> 00:46:50.239
<v Speaker 5>have to say, I'm over here, and people just kept

934
00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:53.280
<v Speaker 5>leaving the church to go follow him. All of these

935
00:46:53.360 --> 00:46:57.079
<v Speaker 5>people had the following things in common. They were not perfect,

936
00:46:57.280 --> 00:46:59.719
<v Speaker 5>They were the messy ones of their day. They looked

937
00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:02.519
<v Speaker 5>weird to the church. The church didn't like them. All

938
00:47:02.639 --> 00:47:04.599
<v Speaker 5>of these things. Do you see what I'm seeing. It's

939
00:47:04.599 --> 00:47:09.679
<v Speaker 5>a cyclical pattern. It's wonderful. I'm sorry, I just keep rambling,

940
00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:12.719
<v Speaker 5>but it's so exciting to me. They had the shared

941
00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:16.800
<v Speaker 5>traits of a deep passion for justice, fighting the corruption

942
00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:20.320
<v Speaker 5>in both religious hierarchy and political government. They had a

943
00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:24.320
<v Speaker 5>deep passion for scriptural integrity. They didn't like it when

944
00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:27.800
<v Speaker 5>you took a scripture out of its context to justify

945
00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:31.559
<v Speaker 5>something you're doing with your lifestyle. They had vehement opposition

946
00:47:31.599 --> 00:47:35.840
<v Speaker 5>to the twisting of scripture. They had an intrinsic commitment

947
00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:38.800
<v Speaker 5>to prayer. You didn't have to ride them every day

948
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:40.920
<v Speaker 5>and say, remember it's your Christian duty. They were on

949
00:47:41.039 --> 00:47:44.159
<v Speaker 5>their face before God every day, pouring their heart out

950
00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:47.000
<v Speaker 5>and saying, Lord, we need guidance from you. This is

951
00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:48.760
<v Speaker 5>the thing that they had in common. And all of

952
00:47:48.760 --> 00:47:51.519
<v Speaker 5>this builds up to an unwavering zeal.

953
00:47:52.480 --> 00:47:55.239
<v Speaker 3>It reminds me of Psalm sixty nine to nine, for

954
00:47:55.400 --> 00:47:57.000
<v Speaker 3>the zeal of the Lord.

955
00:47:56.760 --> 00:48:00.280
<v Speaker 5>Hath eaten them up. You can't you can't ignore. It

956
00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:04.400
<v Speaker 5>comes to life in you. It breathes life into you

957
00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:07.639
<v Speaker 5>for you to fight the good fight. And once you

958
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:11.079
<v Speaker 5>see what you've been, what God has placed in you.

959
00:48:11.679 --> 00:48:14.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't care about your tattoos. I don't care if

960
00:48:14.039 --> 00:48:16.079
<v Speaker 5>you used to smoke cigarettes. I don't care if you

961
00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:18.360
<v Speaker 5>still smoke cigarettes. I don't care if you think you

962
00:48:18.400 --> 00:48:20.400
<v Speaker 5>need to lose twenty pounds before God.

963
00:48:20.199 --> 00:48:23.320
<v Speaker 3>Can use you. Watch this and listen.

964
00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:25.320
<v Speaker 5>If you haven't heard anything else I've said, hear me

965
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:29.519
<v Speaker 5>when I say this. God will not use you despite

966
00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:33.599
<v Speaker 5>what you have been through. Your scars, your battle scars,

967
00:48:33.639 --> 00:48:37.360
<v Speaker 5>your pain, your baggage. He will use you because of

968
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:44.559
<v Speaker 5>those things, because listen. Perfect doesn't relate. So you join

969
00:48:44.599 --> 00:48:47.159
<v Speaker 5>a church, you make yourself look like the pretty people.

970
00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:50.239
<v Speaker 5>You finally get there. You've graduated to perfection.

971
00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:51.039
<v Speaker 3>Good for you.

972
00:48:51.159 --> 00:48:53.880
<v Speaker 5>Now you don't relate to anybody else that needs you.

973
00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:54.800
<v Speaker 3>You see what I'm saying.

974
00:48:55.039 --> 00:48:58.440
<v Speaker 5>It's only in our imperfection that we can be relatable

975
00:48:58.639 --> 00:49:01.679
<v Speaker 5>to the people who needs you, Jesus the most. So No,

976
00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:04.599
<v Speaker 5>it's not despite what you've been through that God will

977
00:49:04.679 --> 00:49:07.599
<v Speaker 5>use you. It's because of what you've been through that

978
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:08.519
<v Speaker 5>God will use you.

979
00:49:08.639 --> 00:49:10.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't care. I don't care what you look like.

980
00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:12.719
<v Speaker 3>I don't care what you've done. Come to Jesus, man,

981
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:16.320
<v Speaker 3>he's got such an incredible plan. The messy ones are coming.

982
00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:18.800
<v Speaker 3>You better prepare. It's so good.

983
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh amen, amen. It reminds me of this phrase that

984
00:49:23.199 --> 00:49:25.119
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember where I first heard it, but the

985
00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:27.639
<v Speaker 2>first time I heard it. Man, it was tattooed on

986
00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:30.760
<v Speaker 2>my brain. I'll never forget it. But it was the

987
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:33.599
<v Speaker 2>same kind of situation. You know, who am I I'm

988
00:49:33.639 --> 00:49:36.639
<v Speaker 2>not fit to have a podcast talking about God and

989
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:38.639
<v Speaker 2>the word. I mean, look at all the stuff I've done,

990
00:49:38.760 --> 00:49:40.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, look what I'm still doing. Look how screwed

991
00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:44.719
<v Speaker 2>up I am. But you know God, how today word it? It

992
00:49:44.719 --> 00:49:49.519
<v Speaker 2>said God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

993
00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:53.639
<v Speaker 2>And that just resonated with me so so much. And

994
00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:56.079
<v Speaker 2>then I heard another guy talk about the gem with

995
00:49:56.159 --> 00:49:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the church. He said, he keeps saying, oh, well, when

996
00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:01.159
<v Speaker 2>I start living right, I'll go to church, you know,

997
00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:03.280
<v Speaker 2>or when I get this lined up, I'll start going

998
00:50:03.280 --> 00:50:06.199
<v Speaker 2>to church, you know. He said, you got to look

999
00:50:06.239 --> 00:50:08.599
<v Speaker 2>at it like the gym. He said, if you wait

1000
00:50:08.639 --> 00:50:11.039
<v Speaker 2>to your fit enough to go to the gym, you're

1001
00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:13.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna never need the gym, he said, So the same

1002
00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:14.599
<v Speaker 2>thing with church.

1003
00:50:14.679 --> 00:50:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Man.

1004
00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:17.280
<v Speaker 2>He said, if you wait to your perfect to go

1005
00:50:17.320 --> 00:50:19.480
<v Speaker 2>to church, then that means you're never going to need God.

1006
00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:24.800
<v Speaker 2>He said. It's a continuation, a lifestyle, continuation of cleansing

1007
00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:28.119
<v Speaker 2>yourself and bettering yourself and getting closer to your creator.

1008
00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:30.039
<v Speaker 3>Amen.

1009
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:34.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, absolutely, I know there was a time just like

1010
00:50:34.719 --> 00:50:38.280
<v Speaker 5>you know, oh, probably every other human being that's ever lived.

1011
00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:40.960
<v Speaker 5>That I told my dad back when he was asking me,

1012
00:50:41.519 --> 00:50:42.880
<v Speaker 5>you know, will you help me write this.

1013
00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Book, or will you come on this show with me?

1014
00:50:45.159 --> 00:50:48.719
<v Speaker 5>Or will you you know whatever? I used to tell

1015
00:50:48.760 --> 00:50:50.800
<v Speaker 5>my dad, and I did this for many years. Joe

1016
00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:53.480
<v Speaker 5>will even tell you this is true, Dad. I will

1017
00:50:53.480 --> 00:50:55.320
<v Speaker 5>do whatever you asked me to do. I'm talking about

1018
00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:58.159
<v Speaker 5>the great tom Horn of SkyWatch right. I'll do whatever

1019
00:50:58.199 --> 00:51:01.880
<v Speaker 5>you asked me to do. I'll write an entire book

1020
00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:05.719
<v Speaker 5>for you. I will write up all of your sermon notes.

1021
00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:07.480
<v Speaker 5>I'll do whatever you asked me to do. But will

1022
00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:09.559
<v Speaker 5>I put my face out there? Will I put my

1023
00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:11.119
<v Speaker 5>name on that book? The answer is no.

1024
00:51:11.199 --> 00:51:14.079
<v Speaker 3>I want anonymity. I want to work in the back room.

1025
00:51:14.159 --> 00:51:17.360
<v Speaker 5>In fact, part of my own personal testimony that's kind

1026
00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:22.679
<v Speaker 5>of fun, is that early on I said, I know what.

1027
00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:24.119
<v Speaker 3>Part of the body I want to be.

1028
00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:26.639
<v Speaker 5>You know how Paul writes about the different parts of

1029
00:51:26.679 --> 00:51:30.239
<v Speaker 5>the body, and if all were the eye, then where

1030
00:51:30.320 --> 00:51:32.840
<v Speaker 5>is the hearing? And so on and so forth. I said,

1031
00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:34.199
<v Speaker 5>you know what, I know what I want to be.

1032
00:51:34.280 --> 00:51:36.199
<v Speaker 5>I know what part of the body I want to be.

1033
00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:39.320
<v Speaker 5>I want to be the appendix. And here was my

1034
00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:42.480
<v Speaker 5>reasoning for this. Nobody knew what it did. It could

1035
00:51:42.480 --> 00:51:44.360
<v Speaker 5>be in a back room, and as long as it's

1036
00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:50.119
<v Speaker 5>just generally supporting in some kind of mysterious way.

1037
00:51:48.760 --> 00:51:51.559
<v Speaker 3>Nobody needed to expect anything from it. That was the

1038
00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:52.880
<v Speaker 3>part of the body I wanted to be.

1039
00:51:53.039 --> 00:51:55.360
<v Speaker 5>The other reason was because if the appendix burst, you

1040
00:51:55.400 --> 00:51:58.159
<v Speaker 5>remove the appendix, but the body continues to function, and

1041
00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:00.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, dude, I might really screw jumped them up here.

1042
00:52:01.199 --> 00:52:04.039
<v Speaker 5>So as long as we're like relying LONDONA, just let

1043
00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:05.159
<v Speaker 5>me be the appendix.

1044
00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:06.360
<v Speaker 3>I want to work from a back room.

1045
00:52:06.440 --> 00:52:09.760
<v Speaker 5>Okay, hardy har right, because here we are thirty years

1046
00:52:09.800 --> 00:52:12.800
<v Speaker 5>later and I'm in all of the different things.

1047
00:52:12.559 --> 00:52:15.320
<v Speaker 3>That I'm doing. Now, I'm doing shows, I'm preaching. I

1048
00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:16.719
<v Speaker 3>talked really fast.

1049
00:52:16.800 --> 00:52:20.320
<v Speaker 5>Now I've been told that I need to slow way

1050
00:52:20.440 --> 00:52:23.920
<v Speaker 5>down for certain platforms.

1051
00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:26.480
<v Speaker 3>That I've been on. I get too passionate. I've had people.

1052
00:52:26.639 --> 00:52:28.920
<v Speaker 5>I had one lady even tell me on her show,

1053
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:31.719
<v Speaker 5>You're just too perky. So it's like, you know, we

1054
00:52:31.800 --> 00:52:34.199
<v Speaker 5>never really stop being our messy one. But the bottom

1055
00:52:34.239 --> 00:52:36.719
<v Speaker 5>line is, what do you have in you that God

1056
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:39.119
<v Speaker 5>can use And are you or are you not willing

1057
00:52:39.199 --> 00:52:41.440
<v Speaker 5>to give the Lord your yes when he comes calling,

1058
00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:45.880
<v Speaker 5>because the called ones will be qualified as he deems fit.

1059
00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:47.480
<v Speaker 5>So I love that you brought it that way. But

1060
00:52:47.559 --> 00:52:50.920
<v Speaker 5>here's what my dad said to me. He said, if

1061
00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:53.920
<v Speaker 5>not you, who, and if not now when? Because I

1062
00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:55.960
<v Speaker 5>kept on saying one of these days, I'm not sure.

1063
00:52:56.280 --> 00:52:58.159
<v Speaker 5>So that was the one that got me. And that's

1064
00:52:58.199 --> 00:53:01.159
<v Speaker 5>not even a Bible verse. That's just like you know,

1065
00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:06.079
<v Speaker 5>modern day philosopher Tom Horne and the moral conviction that followed.

1066
00:53:07.039 --> 00:53:11.480
<v Speaker 3>Now here's the fun thing. Consider this. We're talking about

1067
00:53:11.480 --> 00:53:11.960
<v Speaker 3>all these.

1068
00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:14.760
<v Speaker 5>Historical great awakenings and the leaders of those awakenings right

1069
00:53:15.639 --> 00:53:19.519
<v Speaker 5>what the outside of them and them giving their yes

1070
00:53:19.639 --> 00:53:25.039
<v Speaker 5>to the Lord? What societal patterns or triggers have we

1071
00:53:25.280 --> 00:53:29.320
<v Speaker 5>historically been able to document that leads the culture the

1072
00:53:29.360 --> 00:53:35.320
<v Speaker 5>society at large toward an end mass acceptance of a

1073
00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:40.000
<v Speaker 5>higher power aka Jesus coming in and fixing what is

1074
00:53:40.079 --> 00:53:44.440
<v Speaker 5>broken in our lives, the moral decline and corruption end.

1075
00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:49.360
<v Speaker 5>Mass Historically, awakening has always occurred when society was deeply

1076
00:53:49.400 --> 00:53:54.000
<v Speaker 5>corrupt and morally bankrupt, from everything from the church to

1077
00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:58.039
<v Speaker 5>the government. All right, and all the way down to schools.

1078
00:53:58.280 --> 00:54:00.360
<v Speaker 5>Right I don't even want to go in to what

1079
00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:03.480
<v Speaker 5>we are teaching our children in public schools right now,

1080
00:54:04.639 --> 00:54:07.280
<v Speaker 5>but I mean one word sex ad. I don't know

1081
00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:10.159
<v Speaker 5>that's probably two words, but sex ad. That that one

1082
00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:14.559
<v Speaker 5>phrase right there, that one term represents things that I've

1083
00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:18.239
<v Speaker 5>probably could consider maybe the most least godly thing I've

1084
00:54:18.280 --> 00:54:21.079
<v Speaker 5>ever heard right now and had to pull my own

1085
00:54:21.159 --> 00:54:21.760
<v Speaker 5>kids out of it.

1086
00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:24.920
<v Speaker 3>Deep civil unrest.

1087
00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:30.519
<v Speaker 5>We're talking about social and political divisions fueled throughout different

1088
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:34.480
<v Speaker 5>cyclical patterns. They always create a longing for change and

1089
00:54:34.559 --> 00:54:38.840
<v Speaker 5>for reform, so this is another one of those major patterns.

1090
00:54:39.199 --> 00:54:43.400
<v Speaker 5>And spiritual hunger. A generation seeking meaning. Okay, they come

1091
00:54:43.400 --> 00:54:45.679
<v Speaker 5>into the world being told through the whisper, whether it's

1092
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:48.280
<v Speaker 5>Hollywood or their mom and dad or grandma and grandpa, whatever,

1093
00:54:48.760 --> 00:54:51.360
<v Speaker 5>they are told that there's this thing called spirituality and

1094
00:54:51.400 --> 00:54:53.320
<v Speaker 5>there's a hunger that we all have for it into

1095
00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:56.960
<v Speaker 5>being communication with the Divine And regardless of what that

1096
00:54:57.119 --> 00:54:59.239
<v Speaker 5>you know, whisper sounds like to them, whether it's a

1097
00:54:59.239 --> 00:55:05.440
<v Speaker 5>different religion, a spiritual hunger. A generation seeking spiritual hunger

1098
00:55:05.480 --> 00:55:09.679
<v Speaker 5>and meaning often turned to God after watch this, realizing

1099
00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:15.440
<v Speaker 5>that materialism and human institutions fail.

1100
00:55:15.239 --> 00:55:16.519
<v Speaker 3>To satisfy the spirit.

1101
00:55:17.199 --> 00:55:20.079
<v Speaker 5>So that's the way you're kind of collapsing them all

1102
00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:23.679
<v Speaker 5>in a broad way so that people kind of understand

1103
00:55:23.679 --> 00:55:26.320
<v Speaker 5>what I'm about to talk about. Present day triggers that

1104
00:55:26.440 --> 00:55:31.119
<v Speaker 5>match the past economic collapse. You got a lot of

1105
00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:33.519
<v Speaker 5>poor people and they don't know where their next meal

1106
00:55:33.639 --> 00:55:34.320
<v Speaker 5>is coming from.

1107
00:55:34.840 --> 00:55:37.880
<v Speaker 3>You have a large homeless population. Those are the kinds.

1108
00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:40.000
<v Speaker 5>Of things that lead people to go, we need to

1109
00:55:40.119 --> 00:55:43.840
<v Speaker 5>change right. We've got that happening everywhere. Our economy is

1110
00:55:44.519 --> 00:55:46.840
<v Speaker 5>toast compared to what it used to be. In the

1111
00:55:46.840 --> 00:55:52.360
<v Speaker 5>Western world. Political division, all the little governmental sub biparties

1112
00:55:52.400 --> 00:55:55.079
<v Speaker 5>and everybody are arguing over what politics we need to have.

1113
00:55:55.280 --> 00:55:57.320
<v Speaker 3>That leads to a great awakening because.

1114
00:55:57.159 --> 00:56:00.440
<v Speaker 5>Across the board, everybody realizes we need something bigger than ourselves,

1115
00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:01.599
<v Speaker 5>higher than ourselves.

1116
00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:02.800
<v Speaker 3>To fix this mess.

1117
00:56:03.239 --> 00:56:05.360
<v Speaker 5>And we also, whether we admit it or not, and

1118
00:56:05.400 --> 00:56:09.119
<v Speaker 5>we normally don't, we also realize what I want politically

1119
00:56:09.320 --> 00:56:12.719
<v Speaker 5>and what she wants politically, there's actually good reasons for both.

1120
00:56:13.039 --> 00:56:15.280
<v Speaker 3>So who's right? And my writer is she right? Well?

1121
00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:17.960
<v Speaker 5>I guess because I've got pride and I'm a human,

1122
00:56:18.079 --> 00:56:19.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to say that what I want is the best,

1123
00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:22.519
<v Speaker 5>even though I secretly I kind of understand where that

1124
00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:24.000
<v Speaker 5>where susie Q is coming from.

1125
00:56:24.320 --> 00:56:26.280
<v Speaker 3>We see that, and in our heart.

1126
00:56:26.079 --> 00:56:28.559
<v Speaker 5>Of hearts, whether we openly admit it or not, we go, oh,

1127
00:56:28.599 --> 00:56:31.239
<v Speaker 5>my goodness, we need something bigger than ourselves to fix

1128
00:56:31.280 --> 00:56:36.400
<v Speaker 5>this political division. Religious compromise is another trigger every time

1129
00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:41.559
<v Speaker 5>we see people, I mean very important people compromising scripture

1130
00:56:41.920 --> 00:56:47.599
<v Speaker 5>to justify all kinds of sub movements Christian theology branches

1131
00:56:47.599 --> 00:56:49.800
<v Speaker 5>that don't make sense and do not align with the

1132
00:56:49.800 --> 00:56:52.039
<v Speaker 5>Word of God, especially as it was written in Greek

1133
00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:54.480
<v Speaker 5>and Hebrew. I'm not saying a person needs to know

1134
00:56:54.559 --> 00:56:57.280
<v Speaker 5>Greek and Hebrew in order to understand the Bible, No

1135
00:56:57.400 --> 00:56:59.800
<v Speaker 5>God forbid, that's why it was translated, and that itself

1136
00:56:59.920 --> 00:57:03.880
<v Speaker 5>was movement of God. But the idea that we would

1137
00:57:03.920 --> 00:57:06.559
<v Speaker 5>read something in English, interpret it in our modern eye

1138
00:57:06.559 --> 00:57:09.400
<v Speaker 5>and say boom, that's what the word means. That's how

1139
00:57:09.480 --> 00:57:12.800
<v Speaker 5>we silence women. That's how we silence women based on

1140
00:57:12.800 --> 00:57:17.079
<v Speaker 5>only two verses. The whole of scripture. The whole of Scripture,

1141
00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:23.599
<v Speaker 5>including Deborah Forward, celebrates and identifies the idea that God

1142
00:57:23.599 --> 00:57:24.159
<v Speaker 5>would call.

1143
00:57:24.199 --> 00:57:25.159
<v Speaker 3>Women as leaders.

1144
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:29.079
<v Speaker 5>And we get to a point where because of two

1145
00:57:29.239 --> 00:57:33.440
<v Speaker 5>verses in English, not even in Greek. In English, we

1146
00:57:33.559 --> 00:57:37.199
<v Speaker 5>completely have created this whole movement to silence that people

1147
00:57:37.239 --> 00:57:39.760
<v Speaker 5>get tired of that kind of religious compromise and they

1148
00:57:39.760 --> 00:57:44.440
<v Speaker 5>fight against it. Rising hostility toward faith is another one,

1149
00:57:44.480 --> 00:57:46.599
<v Speaker 5>including censorship or shadow banning.

1150
00:57:47.079 --> 00:57:48.679
<v Speaker 3>The more we get loud with.

1151
00:57:48.679 --> 00:57:52.639
<v Speaker 5>Our Christianity and our true praise Jesus' voice, the more

1152
00:57:52.679 --> 00:57:55.199
<v Speaker 5>there are very powerful people in government that want to

1153
00:57:55.239 --> 00:57:55.880
<v Speaker 5>squash that.

1154
00:57:56.239 --> 00:57:58.280
<v Speaker 3>But watch this. You squash that, and.

1155
00:57:58.239 --> 00:58:01.800
<v Speaker 5>The people who see that get squashed, silenced and censored.

1156
00:58:01.760 --> 00:58:04.480
<v Speaker 3>They get mad, so they get loud. So just you know,

1157
00:58:04.639 --> 00:58:05.360
<v Speaker 3>you see what I mean.

1158
00:58:05.440 --> 00:58:08.000
<v Speaker 5>It's just every time we think we found a reason

1159
00:58:08.320 --> 00:58:11.559
<v Speaker 5>to find bad news, there's good news in the bad news.

1160
00:58:11.840 --> 00:58:15.800
<v Speaker 5>I've got a few more. Crisis of cultural identity. That's one,

1161
00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:17.599
<v Speaker 5>and that sounds like it's coming out.

1162
00:58:17.440 --> 00:58:18.760
<v Speaker 3>Of today's history book.

1163
00:58:19.320 --> 00:58:22.960
<v Speaker 5>A crisis of cultural identity. And here's the next one

1164
00:58:23.000 --> 00:58:27.039
<v Speaker 5>on the list, a crisis of individual identity that has

1165
00:58:27.159 --> 00:58:30.320
<v Speaker 5>happened in every single grade awakening. It just doesn't look

1166
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:34.199
<v Speaker 5>the way that our ideological Western shifts look today, but

1167
00:58:34.280 --> 00:58:35.239
<v Speaker 5>that has happened.

1168
00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:37.159
<v Speaker 3>That's a past trigger that now is.

1169
00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:42.039
<v Speaker 5>Like it sounds like it's a today trigger persecution and censorship.

1170
00:58:42.039 --> 00:58:46.440
<v Speaker 5>I already mentioned that global war and or conflict, all

1171
00:58:46.519 --> 00:58:50.280
<v Speaker 5>kinds of you know, squabbling with different foreign policies and

1172
00:58:50.320 --> 00:58:55.519
<v Speaker 5>foreign international affairs at a generational shift, meaning this generation

1173
00:58:55.679 --> 00:58:58.760
<v Speaker 5>cannot connect with that generation. So this generation down here

1174
00:58:58.800 --> 00:59:01.079
<v Speaker 5>is going to have to find God for themselves.

1175
00:59:01.159 --> 00:59:04.400
<v Speaker 3>They get seeking, they get hungry, they get thirsty. These

1176
00:59:04.440 --> 00:59:09.280
<v Speaker 3>are all triggers that have been in the past every time.

1177
00:59:09.039 --> 00:59:12.400
<v Speaker 5>We've had a great awakening, that also applied today. Now

1178
00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:16.320
<v Speaker 5>here's the thing. We've got two new ones and they're biggies.

1179
00:59:18.119 --> 00:59:23.079
<v Speaker 5>Technological overload and AI fears. We're talking about people that

1180
00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:26.280
<v Speaker 5>are being raised on devices that's never happened in human history.

1181
00:59:27.280 --> 00:59:29.559
<v Speaker 3>People who have AI companions.

1182
00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:32.519
<v Speaker 5>They are closer to the bot living in their phone

1183
00:59:32.599 --> 00:59:35.079
<v Speaker 5>than they are to their parents, their sisters, their siblings,

1184
00:59:35.079 --> 00:59:37.199
<v Speaker 5>their community mentors.

1185
00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:39.000
<v Speaker 3>We've never had that before.

1186
00:59:39.760 --> 00:59:42.199
<v Speaker 5>That's going to add a whole layer that could be

1187
00:59:42.239 --> 00:59:45.880
<v Speaker 5>an entire show by itself, a whole layer of loneliness

1188
00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:49.000
<v Speaker 5>and internal searching for something that is real, something that

1189
00:59:49.079 --> 00:59:51.840
<v Speaker 5>feeds the spirit that you're never going to find it.

1190
00:59:51.880 --> 00:59:54.840
<v Speaker 5>An AI companion, we've got that. That's a trigger that

1191
00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:58.719
<v Speaker 5>we've never even had for a great awakening. And here's

1192
00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:02.880
<v Speaker 5>the last one on my list. Unstable truth, postmodernism.

1193
01:00:03.239 --> 01:00:03.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm talking.

1194
01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:06.559
<v Speaker 5>Your truth is your truth, My truth is my truth.

1195
01:00:06.639 --> 01:00:09.679
<v Speaker 5>So we're going to consider truth to be this fluid thing,

1196
01:00:10.360 --> 01:00:13.760
<v Speaker 5>a subjective truth. What happens again, I go back to

1197
01:00:13.840 --> 01:00:20.440
<v Speaker 5>the child without any boundaries, models of subjective truth, and

1198
01:00:20.519 --> 01:00:24.159
<v Speaker 5>the rejection of absolutism, the idea that there is an

1199
01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:27.599
<v Speaker 5>absolute truth. The sky is blue, the flag of the

1200
01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:31.480
<v Speaker 5>American flag is red, white, and blue. Your hoodie right

1201
01:00:31.519 --> 01:00:33.920
<v Speaker 5>now is red. The fact that I can drink coffee

1202
01:00:33.960 --> 01:00:37.760
<v Speaker 5>and call it coffee. There's absolute truths all around us,

1203
01:00:37.800 --> 01:00:39.920
<v Speaker 5>and yet we get to a certain moment and we

1204
01:00:40.000 --> 01:00:43.920
<v Speaker 5>go but not that that's a subjective thing.

1205
01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:46.000
<v Speaker 3>There is absolute truth.

1206
01:00:46.039 --> 01:00:50.199
<v Speaker 5>And ironically, when culture and government and society fail to

1207
01:00:50.280 --> 01:00:54.320
<v Speaker 5>provide limits and boundaries and absolute truth, people demand them

1208
01:00:54.760 --> 01:00:58.920
<v Speaker 5>because they need boundaries, and they usually choose to demand

1209
01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:05.280
<v Speaker 5>them through religious and social reform, seeking a nostalgic innocence.

1210
01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:08.679
<v Speaker 3>That their generation has never even known. And that brings

1211
01:01:08.760 --> 01:01:13.280
<v Speaker 3>us back to this. What fuels a great awakening, mass discontentment.

1212
01:01:13.719 --> 01:01:17.679
<v Speaker 5>That's the first one, longing for stability and morality, that's

1213
01:01:17.719 --> 01:01:21.960
<v Speaker 5>the next one and three, bold voices willing to shatter

1214
01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:23.079
<v Speaker 5>the silence.

1215
01:01:23.320 --> 01:01:26.360
<v Speaker 3>The only thing left is God's timing. So now we're

1216
01:01:26.360 --> 01:01:27.719
<v Speaker 3>in that. We've got the first three.

1217
01:01:28.079 --> 01:01:31.360
<v Speaker 5>We've got people that are seriously discontent with the way

1218
01:01:31.360 --> 01:01:34.119
<v Speaker 5>that the world is and their spirituality. We've got people

1219
01:01:34.199 --> 01:01:37.719
<v Speaker 5>that are longing for stability and morality, for an innocence

1220
01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:40.119
<v Speaker 5>their generation has never known. They see it on leave

1221
01:01:40.159 --> 01:01:42.360
<v Speaker 5>it to Beaver, and something deep within them says, you

1222
01:01:42.360 --> 01:01:45.159
<v Speaker 5>know what, that was the good old days. Your uncle

1223
01:01:45.280 --> 01:01:48.719
<v Speaker 5>wasn't thinking those thoughts. Your teacher didn't have that agenda.

1224
01:01:48.920 --> 01:01:52.440
<v Speaker 5>There wasn't this constant pressure for you to sin just

1225
01:01:52.519 --> 01:01:53.639
<v Speaker 5>to impress somebody.

1226
01:01:53.840 --> 01:01:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Those were the good old days. You want that back.

1227
01:01:56.719 --> 01:01:59.800
<v Speaker 5>It's breathing into them that this is an attainable thing,

1228
01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:01.920
<v Speaker 5>and that history says it happened before.

1229
01:02:02.320 --> 01:02:04.079
<v Speaker 3>The only thing left is God's timing.

1230
01:02:04.360 --> 01:02:06.960
<v Speaker 5>And I think we're about to see that blow up

1231
01:02:07.079 --> 01:02:07.679
<v Speaker 5>big scale.

1232
01:02:07.920 --> 01:02:10.880
<v Speaker 3>That's the message, man. So the messy ones are coming.

1233
01:02:11.320 --> 01:02:14.559
<v Speaker 3>Are we going to be ready for them? I love it? Right,

1234
01:02:14.760 --> 01:02:16.639
<v Speaker 3>that's good, thank God news.

1235
01:02:17.039 --> 01:02:19.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, we're already here, man, We're lined up at

1236
01:02:19.599 --> 01:02:22.000
<v Speaker 2>the finish line. We're just waiting for the shotgun go off.

1237
01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:24.159
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

1238
01:02:25.760 --> 01:02:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Uh, well, Donald, thank you so much. And uh, I

1239
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:31.960
<v Speaker 2>don't care what that woman told you. You don't turn

1240
01:02:32.039 --> 01:02:35.440
<v Speaker 2>down your brightness for nobody. Girl, I love you. You're amazing,

1241
01:02:35.519 --> 01:02:40.079
<v Speaker 2>You're on fire. And I was greatly blessed by this message,

1242
01:02:40.119 --> 01:02:42.480
<v Speaker 2>and I know my listeners will be too, So yeah,

1243
01:02:42.519 --> 01:02:45.320
<v Speaker 2>you shine on, girl. You don't turn that down for nobody.

1244
01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:47.400
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much.

1245
01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:49.760
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think that a great movement of God is

1246
01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:52.599
<v Speaker 5>coming in a holy fire and ripped jeans, and I

1247
01:02:52.679 --> 01:02:55.199
<v Speaker 5>think it's gonna look unlike anything we've ever seen.

1248
01:02:55.880 --> 01:02:59.199
<v Speaker 3>And I preach this everywhere I go. I'm so excited

1249
01:02:59.199 --> 01:02:59.559
<v Speaker 3>about it.

1250
01:02:59.559 --> 01:03:01.880
<v Speaker 5>So thank you again for giving me another platform to

1251
01:03:01.920 --> 01:03:03.039
<v Speaker 5>do so appreciate it.

1252
01:03:03.079 --> 01:03:03.320

01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:16.920

1258
01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:19.039
<v Speaker 2>a lot of my listeners put this on while they're

1259
01:03:19.039 --> 01:03:21.039
<v Speaker 2>doing laundry or dishes or something like that and they

1260
