1 00:00:02,439 --> 00:00:05,839 Speaker 1: But Todd Herman show is one hundred percent disapproved. But 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:14,080 big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains 3 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:22,079 of Free America. Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman. 4 00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 2: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these 5 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,359 are the times to which God has decide which shall live. 6 00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:40,119 For a very long time, we've been conned into thinking 7 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:45,560 about national security from a perspective of weapons only and 8 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,359 from military readiness only, and those are obviously important tools 9 00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:54,679 for national security. So our secrets and intelligence officials who 10 00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:57,000 are actually looking out for our best interests, not for 11 00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:00,759 their own, and not running color revolutions our own shores, 12 00:01:00,799 --> 00:01:04,000 and for that matter, not doing it elsewhere. God can't 13 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,239 continue to bless those activities. He can't continue to bless 14 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,560 that sort of deception, in my mind. But it is 15 00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:14,599 a con to think about national security absent where security 16 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,040 actually begins, of course, at home. And it's not just 17 00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:22,000 about the family. Clearly, solid families and solid foundation and 18 00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:27,000 faith creates a solid nation. And that's been seeing time 19 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,879 immemorial that a nation with the solid faith foundation, a 20 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,799 nation then with a solid family foundation built and anchored 21 00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:38,680 around that faith, is harder to shake ideologically, which is 22 00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:42,079 of course why the leftists and those who tend to 23 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,000 attack our country are attacking minds and souls. But there's 24 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,439 also biological security, not just against bioweapons. China has pledged 25 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,319 to be the biggest and best purveyor a biological and 26 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,640 chemical warfare in the world their total war promise. But 27 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,879 there are are these bases that God gave us, these 28 00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:06,200 common blessings because we need them to live. So it 29 00:02:06,239 --> 00:02:08,719 begins with air. You can live well, it's a couple 30 00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:11,879 of minutes without oxygen most people. Other people can go 31 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,120 longer if they train for it, but probably tops ten minutes. 32 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,840 And then there's water, and without water, most people die 33 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,039 within about three days, and I think tops maybe five days. 34 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,240 Maybe food it depends on how much fat you have 35 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,240 in your body. You can last I don't know, thirty 36 00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:32,639 days to ninety days, again depending on how much fat 37 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,400 you have and how much movement you have to do. 38 00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:40,560 But it's very very finite. So national security begins with 39 00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:45,240 a couple of items, obviously air and air quality, access 40 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,719 to water, quality food, and then if you want to 41 00:02:48,759 --> 00:02:52,840 be really safe and secure, then energy. President Trump is 42 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,639 very very serious on the energy policy about returning us 43 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,159 to the position of being a net exporter of energy 44 00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:02,319 and a dominant net exporter. That makes us safer, harder 45 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,879 to take down because we're generating our own fuel to 46 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,240 cook food and to purify water. But it's on the 47 00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:13,199 basis of water and food that we've been conned and 48 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,800 right behind our backs. So some of us have been 49 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,759 talking about this for years, and maybe it's because we 50 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,439 grew up around farms, or we worked on them when 51 00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:22,759 we're young, or we live in a rural area that 52 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,360 we see it and reminded of it. The insanity of 53 00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:32,080 allowing Chinese Communist Party backed companies to own American farmland 54 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,439 is just that. It's insanity. It's a decision to decide 55 00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:39,400 to allow one of your biggest geopolitical foes to own 56 00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:42,639 your water rights, or at least great portions of your 57 00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:48,080 water rights. It's also flats questionable, not necessarily insane, to 58 00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:51,080 allow people like Bill Gates to a massive amounts of 59 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,719 farmland that he doesn't intend to farm. He intends to 60 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:01,520 buy and seize to drive up prices of core food 61 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,159 items to make his fake food or affordable. It's the 62 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,319 same exact thing they've done with core energy They want 63 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,240 gas and diesel to a peer expensive, so there's a 64 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,839 market for solar. They want gas in diesel to appear expensive, 65 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,319 so there's a market for electric cars. It's all about 66 00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:24,360 causing the problem and then selling you the solution. It's 67 00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:31,680 again time immemorial. President Trump did something very very important 68 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,879 in his speech. It did not get enough credits, and 69 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,959 I'll share that with you in just a second. It's 70 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,959 about these power bottlenecks. We've talked about this, these kill shoots, 71 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,319 the kill shoot behavior of driving us towards fake food, 72 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:50,439 plastic meat, et cetera. That's not the way God designed things. 73 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,240 And President Trump took this on. We'll talk to about that. 74 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,439 We'll talk about something RFK Junior said in a build 75 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,480 up to that. And if you don't like bottleneck behaviors, 76 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,920 I don't blame you. They ring the COVID lockdowns, right. 77 00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:05,720 There was a bunch of bottleneck behavior, bottle deck behaviors 78 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,759 like limiting access to certain medicines hydroxy chloroquin and ivermectin. 79 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,680 We know about that. Those bottleneck behaviors cost people a 80 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,480 lot of lives and at least a lot of health. 81 00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:21,720 So there were brave pharmacies like All Family Pharmacy that 82 00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:25,079 were speaking out, then why are we limiting access to this? 83 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,680 They never played that game. They didn't have to because 84 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,240 they're family owned. It's actually two brothers who own this pharmacy. 85 00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:34,279 Their mom works there, but that's who you likely talk 86 00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:36,560 to if you go and talk to them. There's a 87 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,439 lot of places that you can get these days ivermectin hydroxychloroquine, 88 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,920 but most of them are just marketing firms. All they 89 00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:46,920 do is collect your name and email and address, and 90 00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:50,519 then they sell it to this doctor or that pharmacy, 91 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,720 and then they send you the drugs. But you don't 92 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,800 end up with anybody you can call or talk to 93 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,959 if you have questions about dosage is or actually want 94 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,319 to talk to the prescribing physician. You probably don't have 95 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,680 their names. All Family Pharmacy is different. You'll buy directly 96 00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:07,720 from them, and what I like most about them is 97 00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:10,360 the personality that the people who work there.

Here's RFK 104 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,759 Junior talking about something vitally important, and I think the 105 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,000 President is listening. If we're to believe what President Trump 106 00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:41,639 said during his speech is a. 107 00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 3: Bait and switch. This is a way of destroying small farmers. 108 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,399 And if we want to have democracy, we need a 109 00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:54,240 broad ownership of our land, you know, a wide variety 110 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,560 of yeoman farmers, each with a stake in our system. 111 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,560 That's what Thomas Jefferson said. And wiping out the small 112 00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:06,759 farmers and giving control of food production to corporation is 113 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,639 not in the interest of humanity. You know, we need 114 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,480 to help those farmers transition off the addiction that we 115 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,360 imposed upon them in the first place. 116 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,519 Speaker 2: When he's talking about the addiction, he's talking about government 117 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,519 moneies and price rigging and market rigging, and that has happened. 118 00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:27,120 We rig markets for milk, rig markets against things like 119 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,959 raw milk, and where I live, you can go around 120 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,279 the corner and buy raw milk. People just don't involve 121 00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:35,399 the federal government in this. And funny thing no one 122 00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:38,519 here's dropping dead. Maybe that's just us. Maybe Idaha has 123 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,839 a special immunity to raw milk illness. When RFK Junior 124 00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:45,639 talks about this, he's talking about corporations as if all 125 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,920 corporations are equal. They're not. But we do have the 126 00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:53,720 ability to provide tax incentives for small farms, and we should. 127 00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:56,240 And maybe those tax incentives are simply things like this, 128 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,839 being able to pass on a family farm without a 129 00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:02,000 wealth tax, without an inherent's tax. Maybe it's things like 130 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,240 allowing more write offs for personal vehicles if they're used 131 00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:06,839 in the farm. There's a ton of things we could do. 132 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,680 Maybe it's in fact encouraging. They're hooking up of small 133 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,199 businesses together. Maybe they should be given the ability to 134 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,680 create a government sponsored co op these small family farms, 135 00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:21,040 so long as they remain small, they're not purchased by 136 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,959 corporate dentities. And the other reason I'm against these corporate 137 00:08:24,079 --> 00:08:27,160 entities is so many of them are seeking efficiencies over nutrition, 138 00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:31,360 and those efficiencies are landing us in a situation where 139 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,159 we're making tons of American six through highly highly processed 140 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,279 foods or meats that are going to be injected with 141 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,279 this or that they do this sometimes after the cat, 142 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,480 after the cattle is killed. Did you know that they 143 00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:47,559 inject the meat products afterwards so they can say, oh, 144 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,360 it was grown free of this stuff. Is it free 145 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,320 of it now when you eat it. President Trump was 146 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,279 speaking about trade policy. He was speaking about tariffs, but 147 00:08:57,399 --> 00:09:01,679 in speaking about this, he's also really speaking about national security. 148 00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 1: An. 149 00:09:02,039 --> 00:09:03,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a way of selling as tariffs. I 150 00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:05,879 get that. I'm not blind. I'm not someone who goes 151 00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:09,360 around saying President Trump is always playing fifteen layer chess. 152 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,559 But he makes a very strong point, particularly in relation 153 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,240 to small family farms. 154 00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:17,399 Speaker 4: A new trade policy will also be great for the 155 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:18,480 American farmer. 156 00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:25,799 Speaker 2: I love the farmer who will now be selling into 157 00:09:25,879 --> 00:09:27,039 our home market, the. 158 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 4: USA, because nobody is going to be able to compete 159 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:35,879 with you, because there's goods that come in from other 160 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,759 countries and companies. They're really, really in a bad position 161 00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:46,159 in so many different ways. They're uninspected, they may be 162 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:48,879 very dirty and disgusting, and they come in and they 163 00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:52,279 pour in and they hurt our American farmers. The tariffs 164 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:57,159 will go on agricultural product coming into America and our 165 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,840 farmers starting on April second, be a little bit of 166 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,320 an adjustment period. We had that before when I made 167 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,399 the deal with China fifty billion dollars of purchases, and 168 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,360 I said, just bear with me, and they did. They did. 169 00:10:10,919 --> 00:10:13,879 Probably have to bear with me again, and this will 170 00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:16,759 be even better. That was great. The problem with it 171 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,480 was that Biden didn't enforce it. He didn't enforce it. 172 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,120 Fifty billion dollars of purchases and we were doing great, 173 00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:26,759 but Biden did not enforce it, and it hurt our farmers. 174 00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:29,360 But our farmers are going to have a field day 175 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,840 right now. So to our farmers have a lot of fun. 176 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 2: I love you too. 177 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,039 Speaker 4: I love you too. 178 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 2: It's all gonna have some other things that and so again, 179 00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:45,039 once again the Democrats can't stand up for family farms. 180 00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:48,519 And I get it, that's the game. But something else 181 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,799 that the Republicans could do is help family farms get 182 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,279 into the exporting business. It doesn't need to be just 183 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,639 the great, big agra companies that do this if family 184 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,200 farmers want to export, far better, though, I think to 185 00:11:02,279 --> 00:11:05,279 keep family farms local far better to get away with 186 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,720 the from the idea that it makes sense for us 187 00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:11,440 to truck our salary over from New Jersey into Idaho. 188 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,360 It doesn't make sense. It makes sense to create local 189 00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:19,480 efficiencies and through tax write offs, et cetera, and incentives 190 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,320 help family farms stay family. But the attack is global. 191 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,600 There is an attack against family farms. It's been very 192 00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:29,279 clear for anyone who watched Netherlands, anyone who's seen what's 193 00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:32,879 going on in Scotland, anyone who's watching Irish farmers, told 194 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,399 you have to get rid of this farmland because the 195 00:11:35,399 --> 00:11:37,879 newcomers need a place to live. And this is what 196 00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:41,840 they're being told in many, many cases. Caro Starmer, who 197 00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:44,840 is the conflicted and utterly corrupt Prime Minister of the UK, 198 00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:48,559 incidentally has quickly become the least popular UK Prime minister 199 00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:53,600 in history. In twenty twenty three he promised to support 200 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,919 family farms. That is not what he's done. 201 00:11:56,159 --> 00:11:59,519 Speaker 5: Every day seems to bring a new existential risk to 202 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,960 British bombing. Losing a farm is not like losing any 203 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,879 other business. It can't come back. That's why the lack 204 00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:11,960 of urgency from the government, the lack of attention to detail, 205 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,480 the lack of long term planning is not on. You 206 00:12:16,519 --> 00:12:17,559 deserve better than that. 207 00:12:17,919 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 2: And clearly he was lying because in the UK he's 208 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,080 one of the guys who's pushing a tax scheme that 209 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,600 will make it impossible for families to hold on to 210 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,879 their farms. In Netherlands it was brute force, and the 211 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,720 Dutch farmers and ranchers, particularly ranchers, were told, you have 212 00:12:36,759 --> 00:12:41,240 to call your entire herds or you'll never begin allowed 213 00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:44,960 to ranch in Europe. If you don't kill these pigs 214 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,679 and these cows, you'll no longer be allowed to do that. 215 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,360 And why well, because of emissions. And I just shared 216 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,279 earlier a chart that seems to indicate that the Earth 217 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:02,320 has gotten cooler again February through February. And in Netherlands 218 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,440 they were told, oh, it's the emissions from the cattle. 219 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,879 In the UK, the scheme has been a tax scheme 220 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,840 that makes it impossible for family farms to hold on 221 00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:15,480 to being family assets. In the United States, it's brute force, 222 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,240 with foreign backed companies going through the heartland of the 223 00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:22,399 United States five key states and being allowed to use 224 00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:26,639 eminent domain to seize farms in order to create carbon 225 00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:31,320 dioxide pipelines and carbon dioxide see questering facilities to take 226 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,200 everything we exhale, everything we're told is killing the planet. 227 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,960 Carbon dioxide, to capture it from the air, pipe it underground, 228 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,759 and store it in massive containers. All of this done 229 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,080 through the middle of farmland, not along the highways, not 230 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,360 alongside the farms, through the middle of them, and then 231 00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:53,639 having been seized, the farmers are told you no longer 232 00:13:53,639 --> 00:13:56,200 get to grow crops on top of that land, even 233 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,759 though the pipeline is thousands of feet below. Why because 234 00:14:00,799 --> 00:14:05,480 the seaquestration of the carbon dioxide into these pipelines is 235 00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:09,559 the sequestration of an asset that these companies are going 236 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,440 to use to build high rise buildings that stack up. 237 00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:17,960 All the methods for creating fake meat, all of it there, 238 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:20,960 not on farmland, and all of it done at a 239 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,000 scale and a scope that only big companies can do, 240 00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:27,679 all too often backed by foreign governments. We've been conned 241 00:14:27,799 --> 00:14:30,960 in this country into believing that national security is just weaponry. 242 00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:34,840 In fact, it starts with air, water, food, and then 243 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,240 the energy to process those things. I think President Trump 244 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:44,759 gets this. Praise God story number two. Lady Gaga apparently 245 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:51,080 thinks we are all very, very stupid, or she's really stupid. 246 00:14:51,519 --> 00:14:53,840 I don't know. I don't know she's successful. 247 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 5: I don't know. 248 00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 2: To let you rise to that level of fame without 249 00:14:56,159 --> 00:14:59,879 having some smarts or at least some cleverness. Then again, 250 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,879 Satan himself is very, very clever. She has a new 251 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,000 song out that, due to the insanity of copyrights, we 252 00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:08,799 could kind of share here, but they're not on audio platforms, 253 00:15:08,799 --> 00:15:10,240 and if we share it here then my face has 254 00:15:10,279 --> 00:15:12,440 to be in it, and then it screws up the video, 255 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,399 and if it's on the audio podcast and we can't 256 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,799 have the music, and it's all madness, because it's all 257 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,879 really just a review of a song. This is part 258 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,759 of the lyrics to her song called Garden of Eden. 259 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,240 You'll get your friends and meet me on the floor. 260 00:15:25,559 --> 00:15:27,679 You're out of candy. I can get you a mor 261 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,440 you started slearn, I started the squeal. I'm falling over 262 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,559 on my nine inch sheels, Okay, so what, it's party 263 00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:34,120 girl stuff. 264 00:15:34,159 --> 00:15:34,399 Speaker 1: So what. 265 00:15:35,279 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 2: I could be your girlfriend for the weekend. You could 266 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,919 be my boyfriend for the night. My excuse to make 267 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,440 a bad decision. Bodies getting closer under the lights. I've 268 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,679 been feeling this familiar feeling, like I've known you my 269 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,080 whole life. Take you to the Garden of Eden. Poison Apple, 270 00:15:49,159 --> 00:15:53,000 take a bite you're turning green from the adrenaline. This 271 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,279 chicks a machine, but a friend is way more fun. 272 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,320 But you can hear her with the music on, Oh, 273 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,600 you can't hear her with music on say yes and 274 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,600 then the party's on. I get it. It's rock and roll. 275 00:16:03,679 --> 00:16:05,399 I've been in rock and roll my whole life. I 276 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,879 used to play in rock bands. I worked in Los 277 00:16:07,919 --> 00:16:11,519 Angeles and entertainment. It's a story that's very, very old, 278 00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:13,759 but it's also a story that's very very new if 279 00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:16,440 you're looking with new eyes at the world. She's not 280 00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:19,000 talking about taking you to the garden of Eden. She's 281 00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:22,320 talking about keeping you out of it. She's talking about 282 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,600 keeping you in a state of sin, a state of 283 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,440 removal from God. And if we look at the work 284 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,200 of hollywoods and what Hollywood's fruits have borne, what do 285 00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:35,840 we see. We see an industry that abhors violence but 286 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,440 markets it. We see an industry that says to believe 287 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,360 all women, but then doesn't when it comes to topics 288 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,600 that are inconvenient to the party. We see an industry 289 00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:49,480 that's all in it for protecting the children, unless it's 290 00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:53,759 from certain harms that they tend to applaud. That point, 291 00:16:53,799 --> 00:16:56,919 they make these things virtue. It's against racism, but it 292 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,000 markets racism. All of the fruits of Hollywood, at least 293 00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:02,360 most of the fruits of Hollywood, relate to things like 294 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:10,240 greed and lust, coveting, anger, violence, and besmirching, if not vandalizing, 295 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,240 the word of God in ways like this. Everything that 296 00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:15,680 comes out of Hollywood seems to have the taint of this, 297 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,759 a taint of rebellion against God. And there are certain 298 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,559 highlights movies that are in fact godly and they tend 299 00:17:21,559 --> 00:17:23,599 to do very well, but not in the award shows. 300 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,200 Why because the awards are given because Hollywood still thinks 301 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,799 they're in the business of shocking. But are you really shocked? 302 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,759 I saw this piece that Saturday Live did with Gaga, 303 00:17:35,839 --> 00:17:38,319 and I was shocked. It's very difficult for me to 304 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,079 be shocked, but it truly shocked me, not because of 305 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,720 what they did, but because they did it. I'll explain 306 00:17:46,759 --> 00:17:50,920 here in a second. Our world is filled increasingly with corruption, 307 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,680 and it's very very important that you get very very 308 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,680 good at seeing it. And in this corrupt state of 309 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,039 a world, nothing is more corrupt than money access to money, 310 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,559 and in fact, what's going on in our country right 311 00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:08,039 now with President Trump and the battle over the future 312 00:18:08,039 --> 00:18:11,519 of our economy is probably the most important thing you're 313 00:18:11,519 --> 00:18:15,000 ever going to face in your retirement lifetime, because if 314 00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:19,359 the people who oppose President Trump win and the party 315 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,680 continues to steal money and continues to hand out fraudulent checks, 316 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,000 then I don't think we'll ever get a second bite 317 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,440 at the apple, so to speak. Haha, gaga. But if 318 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,440 he does win, we could see a massive, massive increase 319 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,319 in our economic power, our economic freedom. Your retirement could 320 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,680 change precipitously for good or for bad. My friend Zach Abraham, 321 00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:45,400 Chief Investments for Bulwark Capital Management, is putting on a 322 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,079 free live webinar.

Truck twenty five Desh one three seven. I'm shocked, 338 00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:40,400 and it's difficult to shock me. It's not what they did, 339 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,279 it's that they did it. This is Saturday Live and 340 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,599 Lady Gagab who isn't taking you to the Garden of 341 00:19:46,759 --> 00:19:49,240 Eden but keeping you locked out of it? And the 342 00:19:49,279 --> 00:19:53,119 point of this play, this skit is what exactly. Oh 343 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,559 I think I know, but I'm shocked that they actually 344 00:19:55,559 --> 00:19:55,880 did it. 345 00:19:56,599 --> 00:20:00,839 Speaker 6: When you lie about a birthday and release you the 346 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:18,000 ultimate price, Sin Sin Sin. Behold behold the mast. 347 00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 2: Lot so demonically themed seen red background, pizza place and 348 00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:32,720 sort of normal people at the table, all shocked. The 349 00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:35,920 demonic drumming in the background, the Sin Sin Sin, the 350 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,440 satanic theme. That's not what shocks me. I expect this 351 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,000 from Gaga I expect this from Hollywood. I expect them 352 00:20:43,039 --> 00:20:48,319 to pretend, Oh gosh, we don't really worship Satan, not us. Oh, 353 00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:50,880 it's all a joke. It's all a fun joke. Let 354 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,400 me go to those events and we pretend to be 355 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,279 eating human beings. It's all a fun joke. It's just us, 356 00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:58,359 thumb in the nose, it's just us having a little 357 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,480 bit of a laugh at your expense. That's not what 358 00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:08,319 shocks me. Great. Now they summon LaMarsh too. 359 00:21:10,079 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 7: Now, drag drink of the blood of Lamas too. 360 00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:19,559 Speaker 1: Guys, just drink the blood, Jenny, it's free, relaxed. 361 00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 7: Drink. 362 00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: Drink. 363 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 7: No, you are ready baptized by the mother of Beasts, 364 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:29,839 the Mistress of. 365 00:21:29,839 --> 00:21:33,519 Speaker 2: The n She's taking blood out of a gold urn 366 00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:35,680 was supposed to be blood and smearing it on the 367 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:41,079 girl's face. Rebaptized. How many times on a programer we 368 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,000 talked about another form of inverse baptism. But again, they're 369 00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:48,440 just joking. They're not really Satanists. This is all just 370 00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:50,440 fun and fun, fun games in sanity. 371 00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 7: The magician Pazuzu cannot save you. Now, the demon dog, 372 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:10,000 how do they what a check of it's someone's birthday, you. 373 00:22:13,799 --> 00:22:20,079 Speaker 2: Did anyone find anything funny? Was anything in that close 374 00:22:20,079 --> 00:22:25,279 to funny? I heard the laughter. I also know how 375 00:22:25,319 --> 00:22:28,240 it works on the set of Saturday Night Live with 376 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,559 the laughter signs. I also know that staffers are told 377 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,000 you are going to start the laughing because laughter is contagious. 378 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,960 Did anyone seriously find anything funny about that? No? So 379 00:22:42,039 --> 00:22:47,279 why was it there? Because Lady Gaga thinks we're stupid 380 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,640 to immunize yourself from charges of being against God by 381 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,720 putting on little skit like this when it's all just 382 00:22:54,759 --> 00:22:57,160 fun and games, when there's not a thing fun about 383 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,400 it and not a thing funny about it. I'd love 384 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,279 to hear from you. Hit me up in the comment 385 00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:04,559 sections or go to the Todd Herman Show dot com 386 00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:07,000 and tell me there and what a specific elect to 387 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,160 hear is you actually found something in that funny or 388 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:16,559 the skit? Defensible story number three. There is a great 389 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,400 thing happening in social media in relation to young people 390 00:23:20,519 --> 00:23:25,680 and God, a great and risky thing. The amount of 391 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:31,400 searches for phrases like is Jesus real? Did Jesus Live? 392 00:23:32,759 --> 00:23:37,000 Are extraordinary, particularly on the YouTube platform. And we do 393 00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:39,440 this on YouTube and to get pretty well rewarded when 394 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,440 we talk about faith. And the only reason I do 395 00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:44,440 this show is to work God's word into news happenings. 396 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,640 That's otherwise I could do other things. There's also, though, 397 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,319 this risk, and it's where people develop a great, big, 398 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:56,920 huge platform, particularly on TikTok, and they're just amateur Theolosians. Now, look, 399 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,920 I'm an amateur Theolosian. A lot of people amateur Theolore. 400 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,400 But when you're going to hear someone present the community 401 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:10,359 college philosophy one on one first day argument against faith, 402 00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:14,960 and people unarmed to answer this take it as oh 403 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,240 my gosh, this guy's discovered the hardest, toughest questions about 404 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,920 the Christian faith that if ever existed. They don't take 405 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,319 the time to go read the Bible. They certainly don't 406 00:24:24,319 --> 00:24:26,839 take time to study the Bible or to reach out 407 00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:29,920 to Christians more mature from them or them, or to 408 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,240 Christians at all. They simply take this and it seems 409 00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:38,279 so air tight, this case against God, that they don't 410 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,880 understand that all of it's answered in the Bible, beginning 411 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,640 with human wisdom. One such video got shown at our church. 412 00:24:46,799 --> 00:24:49,640 A great young pastor named Bill Krast Junior played this 413 00:24:50,519 --> 00:24:53,880 as a jumping off point to talk about apologetics, the 414 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,440 explanation for the Christian faith. So I'll show you TikToker 415 00:24:57,519 --> 00:25:00,799 theologian's view of God and pain. And this could be 416 00:25:00,839 --> 00:25:02,799 answered by reading any number of books like The Problem 417 00:25:02,799 --> 00:25:05,440 of Pain by C. S. Lewis that answers it really, 418 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,039 really well. I'll show you this in just a second. 419 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,359 If you're dealing with a lot of pain in your life, 420 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,200 there's a lot of ways to deal with this, particularly 421 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,640 if it's biological pain, that is your body hurting. If 422 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,119 your body's hurting from lack of sleep, there's something called 423 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,519 sleep Breakthrough. This comes from my friends at Bioptimizers. You 424 00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:23,720 get ten percent off all their products. There. Matt and 425 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,200 Wade work with their own lab. They have their own 426 00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:29,079 lab and lab technicians. They do their own research or 427 00:25:29,079 --> 00:25:31,920 pay third party groups to do it. Rather, sleep Breakthrough 428 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,000 stack with magnesium. Breakthrough doesn't just help you sleep, It 429 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,519 helps you relax throughout the day. It helps you remain 430 00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:40,519 regular and instantly. Lack of regularity puts a ton of 431 00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:42,759 stress on your organs. It also causes you to drink 432 00:25:42,799 --> 00:25:45,000 a lot more water without the effect that you'd want 433 00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:49,640 water to have. There's also mass Simes. Mass Simes produces 434 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,559 in your body about sixteen hundred times more amino acids 435 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,839 then you would get without that. Why is that important 436 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,279 Because it's not protein that builds muscle, it's the resulting 437 00:26:01,319 --> 00:26:04,960 amino acids that build muscle. And this is what mass 438 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,119 Simes is perfect at doing. See, you know your body, 439 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,039 You know your pain, lack of sleep, losing muscle, being irregular, 440 00:26:12,599 --> 00:26:15,960 all these things are addressed at bibptemisius dot com slash todd. 441 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,720 You get ten percent off all their products when you 442 00:26:18,759 --> 00:26:20,960 subscribe to the products that work for you.

So here's this gentleman's take on faith, on 449 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,960 God and pain. And imagine this from the head of 450 00:26:45,039 --> 00:26:47,839 someone who's never read a Bible and they exist. I 451 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,359 talk to a young lady of the day in a 452 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,640 restaurant who is serving us, and she heard us talking 453 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,519 about faith. It was with a young man, I mentor, 454 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,000 and we were talking about faith and praying, and I 455 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,400 actually asked her, have you ever read the Bible? She said, no, 456 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,880 not ever, and yet she judges it to be untrue 457 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,359 having never read it. And by the way, she's not stupid, 458 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,319 she's a smart young lady on the way to starting 459 00:27:07,319 --> 00:27:09,920 her own business. She's just never thought there'd be any 460 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,960 reason to read a document that's not true. 461 00:27:13,079 --> 00:27:16,279 Speaker 8: If evil exists in the world, the monotheistic conception of 462 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,839 God cannot exist. If a perfect God exists, it is 463 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,039 all powerful, all knowing, and all good. If God is omnipotent, 464 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,960 then God has the power to eliminate all evil. If omniscient, 465 00:27:29,759 --> 00:27:34,240 then it knows when evil exists. If omnib benevolent, God 466 00:27:34,319 --> 00:27:37,440 has the desire to eliminate all evil. Yet evil does 467 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:42,079 in fact exist in the world. If God and evil coexist, 468 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,240 then either God doesn't have the power to eliminate all evil, 469 00:27:45,759 --> 00:27:49,200 God doesn't know that the evil is existing, or God 470 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,599 doesn't have the desire to eliminate all evil, and so, 471 00:27:52,839 --> 00:27:57,759 in conclusion, God doesn't exist if evil does. This simple 472 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,960 argument is famously called the problem of evil and Christians 473 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:07,319 have developed many strategies for answering this problem. They're called theodices. 474 00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:10,359 But as long as children suffer, I won't believe in 475 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,640 God awesome? 476 00:28:13,319 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 2: Where does suffering start? Paper cuts hurt? Should we eliminate books? 477 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,079 Falling down and skinning your knee hurts? Shall we eliminate running? 478 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,400 Breaking an ankle hurts? Shall weinate jumping on trapolines or 479 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:38,400 skiing or riding a bike? Breaking up with your first 480 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:43,880 girlfriend or boyfriend hurts? Should we eliminate love? See? This 481 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,039 is where this comes to. It comes to this, what 482 00:28:47,079 --> 00:28:50,799 does God actually want from us? He is free to 483 00:28:50,839 --> 00:28:53,680 make statements like that because God has given him free agency. 484 00:28:53,759 --> 00:28:58,279 And yet what he said hurt people. There are people 485 00:28:58,279 --> 00:29:01,839 who watch that and it hurt them mentally and they 486 00:29:01,839 --> 00:29:06,039 got over it. There are young kids raising Christian homes 487 00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:10,119 watching this wise graybeard old man tell them that their 488 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,400 faith is false, and it hurt them. So he's hurting 489 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:20,279 kids to a degree. When God created the garden of Eden, 490 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,440 and he placed first Adam in there, and then Eve 491 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,880 from Adam, what were the rules tend the garden? 492 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 4: Well? 493 00:29:29,079 --> 00:29:33,799 Speaker 2: What if it's hard tend the garden? Walk with me? 494 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,720 Eat from any of the plants here except that one. 495 00:29:38,839 --> 00:29:41,480 That tree belongs to me. That's the tree of the 496 00:29:41,519 --> 00:29:47,160 knowledge of good and evil. Evil existed as content. God 497 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,119 knew it was there. He said to Adam and Eve, 498 00:29:50,319 --> 00:29:53,519 don't go over there. Don't eat that fruit, because then 499 00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:59,400 you're going to know good and evil. At that point, 500 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,440 they knew God, but they didn't know good because they'd 501 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:08,799 never seen evil. They hadn't made a choice. They were 502 00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:12,720 created in the garden of Eden. They never knew a 503 00:30:12,759 --> 00:30:15,720 time where they didn't walk with God. Where they didn't 504 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,799 know a time where they couldn't just say, Hey, God, 505 00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:20,720 I got a question for you. They didn't know a 506 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,160 time where He didn't look upon their face and they his. 507 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:30,599 And then, because God wanted to be loved, their free 508 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,480 will was taken advantage of by an evil spirit that 509 00:30:34,519 --> 00:30:39,799 God knew would do what he did, and mankind shows 510 00:30:40,319 --> 00:30:45,279 to know evil, and they got to know it, just 511 00:30:45,319 --> 00:30:49,599 as God promised. God always knew this would happen, but 512 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,880 he didn't want robots. God laid out a series of 513 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,480 choices for us when he removed us from the garden. 514 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,000 Just before we left, he stopped us and wrapped us 515 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,480 an animal skins. Why because we were going to be cold. Cold, 516 00:31:02,519 --> 00:31:06,400 what's that? Well, you're about to find out hungry? What's hungry? 517 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,599 You're about to find out pain. What's pain? You're about 518 00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:14,559 to find out. And each step along the way, God 519 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,640 reminded us of ways to reduce the pain. Rely not 520 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,039 on your own wisdom, but on every word that proceeds 521 00:31:23,039 --> 00:31:25,200 from the mouth of God. Fear of the Lord is 522 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,759 the beginning of wisdom. If Adam and Eve had truly 523 00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:31,440 feared the Lord, truly feared him, would they have made 524 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,200 the decision they did. God gave us choices throughout time. 525 00:31:36,279 --> 00:31:40,960 He created prophets. He didn't bind us to their words. 526 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,079 When the prophet spoke and they warned people, Hey, here's 527 00:31:44,079 --> 00:31:45,799 what's going to happen when you have a human king. 528 00:31:46,559 --> 00:31:48,200 They're going to steal from you. They're going to take 529 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,880 your kids, they're going to take your vineyards. You're going 530 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,920 to put your daughters into concubines. The people said, but 531 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,480 we want a king because everybody else as kings. And 532 00:31:56,519 --> 00:31:58,880 God said, Okay, I told you what's going to happen. 533 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:04,240 Here's what's happening. Every step along the way he gave 534 00:32:04,279 --> 00:32:09,160 people choices, is giving people choices to this moment to 535 00:32:09,279 --> 00:32:12,839 reject Jesus or to accept Jesus. And Jesus told us, 536 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,359 do not be surprised when you have troubles in this 537 00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:18,599 life or in this world. You're going to have troubles. 538 00:32:19,039 --> 00:32:22,640 What is God's ultimate goal with us? Is it that 539 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,400 we're happy all the time, that we don't get a 540 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,119 paper cut, that we don't skin our knee, that we 541 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,079 don't break up, that we don't have the pain of 542 00:32:28,119 --> 00:32:33,759 an ended family relationship or an ended friendship. How can 543 00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:38,240 we know pure goodness if we don't have knowledge of 544 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,920 evil or pain? What's God's ultimate goal for the new 545 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,480 Heaven and the New Earth, the new Earth, for his kingdom, 546 00:32:48,039 --> 00:32:51,000 for the people who are there? What's his goal? Does 547 00:32:51,039 --> 00:32:55,359 he wanted to be exactly like Earth? No? Why would 548 00:32:55,359 --> 00:32:57,880 he create the new heven and the New Earth? Why 549 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,039 would he limit who gets in there? Because he doesn't 550 00:33:01,079 --> 00:33:03,319 want it to be like this? Because he doesn't want pain, 551 00:33:04,359 --> 00:33:07,279 He doesn't want children to hurt it, doesn't want paper 552 00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:13,880 cuts or skin knees, or breakups or insults or racism. 553 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,960 So he gives us the opportunity to become sanctified. That means, 554 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,440 to become more holy. The first step is to admit 555 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,480 our brokenness, to repent of our sins, the way we 556 00:33:26,519 --> 00:33:30,119 have hurt others and sinned against God, and then to 557 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,799 accept him as our lord and savior, and to ask 558 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:37,079 him to change us and to allow it to happen. Sanctification, 559 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,920 like exercise, isn't always fun. If you're starting an exercise 560 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,200 regimen and you haven't trained in a long time, leg 561 00:33:42,279 --> 00:33:44,359 days flat gonna suck, I'm here to tell you that. 562 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,759 And in about a year, when you're two hundred leg 563 00:33:48,839 --> 00:33:51,640 days into, it doesn't suck anymore. It actually becomes kind 564 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:58,279 of fun. Sanctification hurts because God is returning us to 565 00:33:58,559 --> 00:34:02,359 a state cl to the way we were designed before 566 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,400 we took advantage of a choice that a God who 567 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,480 loved us allowed. I'm willing to bet that the guy 568 00:34:08,519 --> 00:34:12,039 who made that video is probably not in favor I'm 569 00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:15,800 taking human beings and locking them in padded houses with 570 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:20,119 access to water and liquid meals so that they never 571 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,800 choke on a solid food. I'm willing to bet that 572 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,920 he's not in favor of locking people away in those 573 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,280 padded houses where there's nothing to climb on lest they 574 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,039 brank an ankle. I'm willing to bet that he's not 575 00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:36,519 in favor of isolating human beings from each other so 576 00:34:36,559 --> 00:34:41,119 that they never experience an argument or mental pain. I'm 577 00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:44,480 willing to bet all of these things because he's a 578 00:34:44,519 --> 00:34:47,599 guy who really doesn't understand what he's saying. He's just 579 00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:52,239 repeating some simplistic phrases, as if God doesn't have the 580 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:57,079 ability to heal all pain. In the New Heaven and 581 00:34:57,119 --> 00:35:01,119 the New Earth, people who chose Jesus, walked with him, 582 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:07,840 abided with him. I become sanctified, will exist forever painfree 583 00:35:08,199 --> 00:35:13,599 because they made a choice. This is the Todd Herman Show. 584 00:35:13,639 --> 00:35:17,039 Please go, be well, be strong, be kind, and please 585 00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:19,719 make every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
