Here 14 00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:05,439 was the Emerald City, exime God to her Man. 15 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,359 Speaker 1: Today is today the Lord has made, and these are 16 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,519 the times to which. 17 00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: God has decided we shall live. 18 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: Dear friend of mine, friends since I think best friends 19 00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:26,000 since eighth grades, and not kind of a brother, I 20 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,879 mean as much of a blood brother as I can 21 00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:35,280 ever have. He's a very strict Catholic, and he made 22 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:42,319 a mistake. He and his girlfriends dash fiancee. They had 23 00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:46,560 sexual relations before they got married, and man, it shocked 24 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,719 me because this is a guy who didn't do that 25 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:50,760 through all of high school. 26 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 2: And it wasn't like he didn't have opportunities. He was 27 00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:56,200 very popular with girls. 28 00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:58,599 Speaker 1: And it wasn't like I didn't go on double dates 29 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,760 with him out to Lake Cabin is where we had 30 00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:04,799 overnight to do that, you know, each with her own girlfriend, 31 00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:09,719 and he didn't do it. So I remember when they 32 00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:17,000 found out his girlfriend desh Fiance was pregnant, and it 33 00:02:17,759 --> 00:02:19,439 just crushed. 34 00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: My friend. And he called me and I remember him 35 00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:24,360 weeping of the phone. 36 00:02:24,719 --> 00:02:31,599 Speaker 1: My life is over and I've screwed up my girlfriend 37 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:38,159 desh Fiance's life. I've just it's over. And if you 38 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:43,159 look at him today and ask him, what is what 39 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,120 is your role? What has God given you? And he 40 00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:53,840 would say the unspeakable gift of seven children. And at 41 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,639 that time, my friend's obsession was being a world renowned 42 00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:04,759 pop star, dash recording star. We used to write songs together, 43 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,400 and he can't relate to that person anymore. He looks 44 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,400 at his old CDs that he put out and the 45 00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:16,319 tours he was on. He looks at pictures of himself 46 00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:19,680 warming up for these big bands and these huge recording 47 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,520 studios in Los Angeles. 48 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: And why. 49 00:03:24,719 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: Why did I ever take even an hour to focus 50 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,919 on this rather than focusing on my family. Now he 51 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,599 still plays, he writes symphonies. He's a brilliant musician, but 52 00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:42,479 he writes them all in service of the church. He's 53 00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:45,240 a Catholic, and he's had a lot of his work 54 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,879 played in churches, never with his name. 55 00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:53,879 Speaker 2: Doesn't care. But God took this mistake and turned it 56 00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:54,159 to good. 57 00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: Now he would be the first to tell you, and 58 00:03:56,479 --> 00:04:02,000 he would tell you he's paid a cost. Right, there's greatness, 59 00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:07,080 great family, Still married to his wife, fruitfully so. But 60 00:04:07,159 --> 00:04:08,879 he'd be the first to tell you. You can choose 61 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:14,879 your sin, but not your accountability, and he's he's paid. 62 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,959 We all do when we sin, might not be right away. 63 00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:22,079 Speaker 2: Sometimes the sin. 64 00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: Is struggled, extra struggle that you should not have or 65 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,399 would not have had. 66 00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:27,639 Speaker 2: In the case of. 67 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,199 Speaker 1: King David in the Bible, when he sinned with Bathsheba, 68 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,279 not that he wasn't sinning before with a concubine, but 69 00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:36,439 when he sinned with Bathsheba in such an open and 70 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,759 defiant way, it destroyed his household forever. There was never 71 00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:43,000 again peace in King David's home. His own sons sought 72 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,600 his death, attempted to steal his kingdom. One of his 73 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,519 sons was so angry, so defiant, so filled with hatred, that, 74 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,480 having kicked his father out of the castle, he then 75 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,879 had sex with his father's wife on a rooftop for 76 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,680 all of the city to see. 77 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 2: David paid a kaf. 78 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,319 Speaker 1: There's a company that I became aware of called Bisible 79 00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:10,240 and Visible is an organization started by a guy named 80 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,920 Brian mckechney. And Brian noticed that most business owners do 81 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,399 not know that they can create corporate credit, which actually 82 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,759 separates them from their identity. 83 00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:23,639 Speaker 2: Here's what I mean. 84 00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:27,079 Speaker 1: As you build corporate credit for your small business or 85 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,319 medium sized business, you have it. You have your own 86 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,600 credit rating that it's just now by the way, you 87 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,959 might not know it, but you have one. Now, it's 88 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,800 probably not a good one if you don't know you 89 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,759 have one, but you have one. 90 00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: And what Brian Bisible and his team do. 91 00:05:40,519 --> 00:05:43,439 Speaker 1: Is they'll help you take that credit rating and make 92 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,839 it a rock star credit rating. And for businesses, as 93 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,480 you pay off your credits every month, you actually get 94 00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:52,360 a higher and higher limit, very very quickly. Now, you 95 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,079 don't want to go out and spend that. And I'm 96 00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:56,439 not advocating that you go get in debts. And neither 97 00:05:56,519 --> 00:06:00,160 is Visible that you can use this for cash flow purposes, 98 00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:04,040 for payroll purposes, you can use this for expansion purposes, 99 00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:05,079 for safety purposes. 100 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,879 Speaker 2: If God forbid something bad happens. 101 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: You do have a line of credit, but it's not 102 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,800 tied to your home, it's not tied to your retirement account, 103 00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:19,120 it's not tied to you at all. Your banks will 104 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,199 not tell you how to do this because they want 105 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:29,000 your business to actually be tied to your retirement account. 106 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,199 So if God forbid something bad happens, that the business 107 00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:32,879 they can go after your house. 108 00:06:33,959 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 2: That's not the way big business does it. 109 00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:40,399 Speaker 1: And with a software as a service system, Visible will 110 00:06:40,399 --> 00:06:45,959 help you establish this corporate credit in seven easy steps. 111 00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:49,800 They'll do ninety percent of it for you, but there's 112 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,839 ten percent of the things you don't want them doing 113 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,519 for you, So they'll show you how to do it 114 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,199 on this easy website.

It's very similar. 123 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,959 It's a mistake my dear friend made.

Sounded like a missile was 171 00:10:04,759 --> 00:10:07,559 firing bullets metal at my car, everyone else's car. Under 172 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,840 he recalled, you see a car on fire? A man 173 00:10:09,879 --> 00:10:13,159 walking on fire? Was just crazy. He immediately backed up 174 00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:15,759 his car while his son, Trey, covered his little sister, 175 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:16,600 protecting her. 176 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 2: A little boy did that. 177 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: I turned around and he has metal coming out of 178 00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:28,440 his head, under described. 179 00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 2: He said. 180 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,639 Speaker 1: He used socks in another man's shirt to try to 181 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,519 stop the bleeding. A police officer rushed them to the hospital, 182 00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:40,000 where Trey had emergency brain surgery that night. Andre says 183 00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:41,919 the family was told it was a strong chance he 184 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:49,080 might not survive.

Andre told ABC News that his 189 00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:07,879 first his son's first real words. 190 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,159 Speaker 2: Were about the super. 191 00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:14,639 Speaker 1: He asked me a daddy, was today Monday? Okay, wait, 192 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,519 we don't play. We didn't play yesterday? 193 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:16,879 Speaker 6: Did we? 194 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:25,519 Speaker 1: No, you didn't miss a Super Bowl. Next thing he asked, Daddy, 195 00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:34,120 did ha saved my sister? He did, a clump of 196 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:40,000 cells went out and saved another clump of cells, and 197 00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:42,879 then two far older clumps of cells could celebrate their 198 00:11:42,879 --> 00:11:52,320 clumps of cells. God knit you together in your mother's womb, 199 00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:57,200 and he's counted every hair in your head, and he 200 00:11:57,279 --> 00:12:01,759 has very specific plans for you. And those plans are 201 00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:05,799 something you can act upon when you decide to follow 202 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,720 the Lord Jesus and allow him to take the bad 203 00:12:08,759 --> 00:12:09,799 in your life and turn. 204 00:12:09,639 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: It for good. Praise God. 205 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: Story number two, Pete Hegseeth came out and said it. 206 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:20,440 I mean, he's giving the left exactly what they want. 207 00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:24,159 He hates diversity, just loves it. 208 00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 2: Now. Personally, I love me some diversity. I used to love. 209 00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: One of the things I miss about living in big 210 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,960 cities was the opportunity to go immerse yourself, even temporarily, 211 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,879 into different culture in the separate country of Seattle, within 212 00:12:40,919 --> 00:12:44,200 the separate country of Washington, there's a really vibrant place 213 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:49,320 that everyone in the world calls Chinatown, although the tyrannical 214 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,600 authorities are very very insistent that we start to call 215 00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:53,720 it the International District. 216 00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:56,039 Speaker 2: But it's not an international district. It's Chinatown. 217 00:12:57,639 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: And I used to love to go there because you 218 00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:04,039 could eat Chinese food that you couldn't identify. My friend Matthew, 219 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,639 dear dear brother of mine, he is fascinated with Chinese culture. 220 00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:09,440 He has been the China multiple times as a tech 221 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,080 executive and even speaks a little bit of the language. 222 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,120 So he would take me to these places where no 223 00:13:14,159 --> 00:13:18,279 one spoke English. There are no white people, and man, 224 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,440 you get the stink eye, the corner eye when you 225 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,120 walk in there, because what are you doing in here? 226 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,159 There are the sort of americanized places. No place down 227 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,559 there is really really Americanized, but this is the corner 228 00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:32,840 of the wall sort of places. And when Matthew would 229 00:13:32,879 --> 00:13:36,000 come in and speak a little bit of Mandarin and 230 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,919 asking the menus, everything changed. We was sitting down and 231 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,759 I had food I'd never had before. It's fungus soup 232 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,879 and it's it's preparations of ducks. There is a place 233 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,039 down there called, Oh Gosh, you never forget the name 234 00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:52,480 of it, that they make a Bardi green noodle. You 235 00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:57,679 want to eat about four hundred billion grams of carbs 236 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:58,919 in a setting and love it. 237 00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 2: It's just this fresh barley in this. 238 00:14:01,879 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: Green form that they make. You could watch them do 239 00:14:04,279 --> 00:14:08,200 this and it tastes like you're eating butter. And I 240 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,759 used to love it when I lived in Washington, d c. 241 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,559 Because it could take a quick train ride down to 242 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,399 New York and you could go from the orthodox Jewish 243 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,279 section of town, you could go to an Hispanic section 244 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,039 of town. You could go through the downtown, the business 245 00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:23,679 corridor that you could just experience all these cultures. I 246 00:14:23,759 --> 00:14:28,759 missed that, But Pete Haigseth hates diversity, and he even 247 00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:29,360 admitted it. 248 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 7: A single missed phrase in military history is our diversity 249 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,879 is our strength. I think our strength is our unity, 250 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,480 Our strength is our shared purpose, regardless of our background, 251 00:14:44,679 --> 00:14:47,360 regardless of how we grew up, regardless of our gender, 252 00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:50,679 regardless of our race. In this department, we will treat 253 00:14:50,799 --> 00:14:55,159 everyone equally. We will treat everyone with fairness, We will 254 00:14:55,159 --> 00:14:58,320 treat everyone with respect. And we will judge you as 255 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,440 an individual by your marriag and by your commitment to 256 00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:06,120 the team and the mission. That's how it has been, 257 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:11,039 that's how it will be. Any inference otherwise is meant 258 00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:15,120 to divide or create complications that otherwise should not and 259 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,039 do not exist. 260 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,559 Speaker 1: He's talking, of course, about what military units need to 261 00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:23,440 be able to be to be a unit. Now, I've 262 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,000 never served, I don't know that I've ever had the 263 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,080 capacity to serve. In the tiny, little, small, minuscule joke 264 00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:32,279 like sample, I got of this if my twelve hours 265 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,159 seal fit before my kidneys gave out, I noticed well 266 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:40,120 dressed the same. No one had a first name, and 267 00:15:40,159 --> 00:15:42,519 you always had a swim buddy with you. And if 268 00:15:42,559 --> 00:15:44,960 you failed to take your swim buddy with you to 269 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,399 the bathroom to get something to eat on a penalty run, 270 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,639 that was one of the worst things you could ever 271 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,720 ever do, and you would pay a huge cost if 272 00:15:56,759 --> 00:16:03,600 you were ever alone. Regardless, this is the reason, because 273 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:10,440 they were making us a unit. Story number two. Pete 274 00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:13,720 Hegseth came out and said it. I mean, he's giving 275 00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:17,720 the left exactly what they want. He hates diversity, just 276 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:24,200 loves it. Now personally, I love me some diversity. I 277 00:16:24,279 --> 00:16:26,320 used to love. One of the things I miss about 278 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,679 living in big cities was the opportunity to go immerse yourself, 279 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,639 even temporarily, in a different culture. In the separate country 280 00:16:34,679 --> 00:16:37,679 of Seattle, within the separate country of Washington, there's a 281 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,399 really vibrant place that everyone in the world calls Chinatown, 282 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,679 although the tyrannical authorities are very, very very insistent that 283 00:16:46,679 --> 00:16:48,360 we start to call it the International District. 284 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: But it's not an international district. It's Chinatown. 285 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: And I used to love to go there because you 286 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:58,639 could eat Chinese food that you couldn't identify. My friend Matthew, 287 00:16:58,679 --> 00:17:02,200 dear dear brother of mine, he is fascinated with Chinese culture, 288 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,599 has been the China multiple times as a tech executive, 289 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,640 and even speaks a little bit of the language. 290 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 2: So he would take me to these places. 291 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: Where no one spoke English, there are no white people, 292 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,799 and man, you get the stink eye, the corner eye 293 00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:15,599 when you walk in there. 294 00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 2: Because what are you doing in here? 295 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,759 Speaker 1: There are the sort of americanized places. No place down 296 00:17:20,799 --> 00:17:24,119 there is really really Americanized, but this is the corner 297 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,440 of the wall sort of places. And when Matthew would 298 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,599 come in and speak a little bit of Mandarin and 299 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,519 asking the menus. Everything changed. We was sitting down and 300 00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:37,359 I had food I'd never had before. It's fungus soup, 301 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,480 and it's it's preparations of ducks. There is a place 302 00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:42,599 down there called, Oh Gosh, you never forget the name 303 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,359 of it, that. 304 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 2: They make a Bardi green noodle. 305 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you want to eat about four hundred billion 306 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,519 grams of carbs in a setting and love it. 307 00:17:53,519 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 2: It's just this fresh barley in this green form that 308 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,519 they make. You could watch them do this and it takes. 309 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: Like you're eating butter. And I used to love it 310 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,920 when I lived in Washington, d C. Because it could 311 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,640 take a quick train ride down to New York and 312 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,880 you could go from the Orthodox Jewish section of town, 313 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,440 you could go to an Hispanic section of town. You 314 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,519 could go through the downtown the business corridor that you 315 00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:18,079 could just experience all these cultures. 316 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 2: I missed that. But Pete Hegseth hates diversity, and he 317 00:18:23,079 --> 00:18:23,960 even admitted it. 318 00:18:24,319 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 7: A single missed phrase in military history is our diversity 319 00:18:30,039 --> 00:18:35,480 is our strength. I think our strength is our unity. 320 00:18:35,559 --> 00:18:39,079 Our strength is our shared purpose, regardless of our background, 321 00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:41,920 regardless of how we grew up, regardless of our gender, 322 00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:45,279 regardless of our race. In this department, we will treat 323 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,720 everyone equally.

That's how how it has been, 327 00:19:01,279 --> 00:19:05,599 That's how it will be. Any inference otherwise is meant 328 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,720 to divide or create complications that otherwise should not and 329 00:19:09,759 --> 00:19:10,599 do not exist. 330 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: He's talking, of course, about what military units need to 331 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,000 be able to be to be a unit. Now, I've 332 00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:19,559 never served, I don't know that I've ever had the 333 00:19:19,599 --> 00:19:24,680 capacity to serve. In the tiny, little, small, minuscule joke 334 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,839 like sample I got of this of my twelve hours 335 00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:29,519 at seal Fit before my kidneys gave out, I noticed 336 00:19:29,559 --> 00:19:33,440 well dressed the same, no one had a first name, 337 00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:36,799 and you always had a swim buddy with you. And 338 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,079 if you failed to take your swim budy with you 339 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,200 to the bathroom to get something to eat on a 340 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,640 penalty run, that was one of the worst things you 341 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,559 could ever ever do, and you would pay a huge 342 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,279 cost if you were ever alone regardless of the reason, 343 00:19:57,599 --> 00:20:02,880 because they were making us a units. The first part 344 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,039 of seal Fit was to make us focus on ourselves 345 00:20:07,079 --> 00:20:09,079 and forget the fact that we're a team, and they 346 00:20:09,079 --> 00:20:10,799 were doing everything they could to divide us. And there 347 00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:13,519 were even guys who'd been through Sealfit before saying, guys, remember, 348 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,759 they're trying to divide us. It wasn't until we jeled 349 00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:18,480 as a team where things started to work. So you're 350 00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:22,799 going to see in Pete Hegseth the difference. He's already 351 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,359 proving the difference. You had Lloyd Austin dress up in 352 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,599 that ridiculous veil with his ridiculous black suit to march 353 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,839 ridiculously around with our enemies, separating himself economically and from 354 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,920 a perspective of power and lording his power for others. 355 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:40,839 General white rage. 356 00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 2: The same thing. 357 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,279 Speaker 1: All the metals on the chest, guys who've never won 358 00:20:44,279 --> 00:20:46,400 a war, people who are metals on their chest. For 359 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:52,279 diversity and employing diversity to hr Pete Haigseth showed he 360 00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:55,960 is the man who absolutely means we're going to treat 361 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,559 everybody the same. 362 00:20:56,599 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 2: And he did it in a really, really important way 363 00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,599 with physicality. 364 00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: That's a language people who serve in the military can 365 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,440 understand physicality. 366 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 2: There's a clarity in your body and it's very very clear, 367 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,759 particularly from men of any age. We want to have muscle. 368 00:21:13,759 --> 00:21:14,279 Women too. 369 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: Mean percentage of muscle in your body is a great 370 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,519 predictor of your longevity and your health overall. If you 371 00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:23,319 don't want to lose muscle, first step is to keep 372 00:21:23,319 --> 00:21:27,319 the muscle you have. Mass symes from Bioptimizers will help 373 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:27,839 you do that. 374 00:21:28,279 --> 00:21:30,559 Speaker 2: There's a myth. The myth is that protein builds muscle. 375 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:31,160 It doesn't. 376 00:21:31,759 --> 00:21:35,279 Speaker 1: Protein has to be broken down into amino acids, specifically 377 00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:40,839 branch chain aminos. They build muscle. That's what happens. Bioptimizers 378 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,559 product mass symes. In a side by side test from 379 00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:48,640 Birch International University in Bosnia showed that people who take 380 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,200 mass symes, people like me, produce sixteen hundred times more 381 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,119 amino acids in their bodies than people who don't take it, 382 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,880 people maybe like you. At the age of fifty eight, 383 00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:03,680 my body fat percentage is about nine point nine percent 384 00:22:04,319 --> 00:22:06,640 and my muscle's pretty high, and I credit a lot 385 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,000 of that to mass simes, and of course working out 386 00:22:09,079 --> 00:22:12,480 and eating properly go to Boptimizers dot com slash Todd 387 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,480 promo code Todd, get mass simes at a ten percent 388 00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:18,119 discount and keep the muscle you have and maybe even 389 00:22:18,519 --> 00:22:19,720 earn more muscle. 390 00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, earn it. 391 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: Boptimizers dot com slash Todd promo code tod get ten 392 00:22:24,039 --> 00:22:26,119 percent off all the products and subscribe to the products 393 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:26,400 you need. 394 00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:27,599 Speaker 2: Just take that special hint. 395 00:22:30,279 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: So the secur Defense Pete Hegseth, unlike General white Rage 396 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,640 who couldn't do it. Unlike General Austin, who couldn't do 397 00:22:38,759 --> 00:22:43,839 it because they stopped being military men and became fat politicians, 398 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,799 Pete Hegseth decided to go work out with the. 399 00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 7: Troops A point to do KT and tenth through this 400 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:53,559 morning on very lowly. 401 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,079 Speaker 4: Why was it so important for you to do this? 402 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,200 And tell us about the work out. 403 00:22:58,039 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 7: I did do PT with the troops this morning, so 404 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,240 it's not that long ago that I was right there 405 00:23:04,319 --> 00:23:08,160 with them. I probably no offense general. I probably connect 406 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,279 more with those guys than I do with four star generals. 407 00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:12,160 But now I get the chance of working with four 408 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,160 stars and others who are committed to the troops. But 409 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,160 when I can get down do pushups and dead lifts, 410 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,720 with the troops and just hear from them what's working, 411 00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:26,799 what is it? How do you see your mission set? 412 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,480 I love that, so there was never a doubt, even 413 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:30,640 though we got in it too in the morning, that 414 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,680 we were getting up a couple hours later. 415 00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:33,799 Speaker 2: To go deep DoPT. 416 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,759 Speaker 7: It's a reminder that you guys the press in Washington 417 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,079 might think I'm young, but in military terms, I'm old. 418 00:23:42,519 --> 00:23:45,240 And that showed this morning with these young guys who 419 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,200 ran circles. 420 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 2: Around me in that parking lot. 421 00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: If you lose touch of the people you're commanding, and 422 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,720 you no longer hear their voices or see their faces 423 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,279 or have them have an opportunity to speak in to you, 424 00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:59,079 you're losing touch with the battlefield. You're losing touch. Then 425 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,240 with the enemy, you lose in touch with the engagement. 426 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,839 You are entering into the world of theory. You're no 427 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,119 longer impacted by this because you don't see the faces 428 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,160 of the men and women who are iimpacted by it, 429 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,640 the ones who have to actually carry out the orders. 430 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,880 That's an important part of diversity. He's the sec death 431 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:23,119 and he subjects himself to early morning workouts without a 432 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,440 lot of sleep, and by the way, I don't think 433 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,359 the military is making sure that everybody gets good, solid 434 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:29,119 eight hours of sleep. 435 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 2: I don't think that's the lifestyle. 436 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: If you lose that form of diversity, you're losing any 437 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:42,480 of the capability to relate in a diversified way. So 438 00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:45,279 haig Seth considered a table with forestar generals and say, 439 00:24:45,319 --> 00:24:49,359 that's a great theory, but I've. 440 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,519 Speaker 2: Talked to the troops. That doesn't work. 441 00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: By the way, this is hag Seth recovering from the workout, 442 00:24:55,079 --> 00:24:59,400 shaking hands. It's a cool facility, and you know, I 443 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:04,519 know that's meaningful to those guys that the boss of bosses. 444 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 2: Came in and killed it with them. 445 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: Imagine how foot it is for them to murder him 446 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,359 in a workout euphemistically speaking. 447 00:25:09,559 --> 00:25:11,519 Speaker 2: And a guy who enjoys that and gets a kick 448 00:25:11,519 --> 00:25:11,960 out of it. 449 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,279 Speaker 1: And is going to go in knowing he doesn't train 450 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,119 three times a day like these guys, he's going to 451 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,039 get his head handed to him. Is a guy who 452 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:23,119 has some humility. This is a different sect death. So 453 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:31,519 he doesn't hate diversity. It doesn't belong in a team setting. Now, 454 00:25:31,519 --> 00:25:34,000 we all have different gifts and different skills, but in 455 00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:36,720 a team setting like this in the military sometimes you 456 00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:38,880 have to do their dirty job. And there's pastors who 457 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,839 use this example. They're all given gifts by God. And 458 00:25:42,839 --> 00:25:45,400 I'm talking about spiritual gifts because that's divisive, and there's 459 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,720 people who think that spiritual gifts no longer exist and 460 00:25:47,759 --> 00:25:51,519 spiritual gifting doesn't happen. But you could say, for instance, 461 00:25:51,519 --> 00:25:53,640 pastors will tell this story like, you know, hey, pastor, 462 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,000 I want to serve in the church. 463 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:56,559 Speaker 2: I'm coming here for a while. 464 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: I realize they don't serve. So what's a place I 465 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,440 could serve? I really, you know, whatever it is, I 466 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,839 want to do it all right. You know what, we 467 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:11,279 are really short on people to uh, to shovel snow. 468 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's not my gifting. 469 00:26:17,759 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: I you know, I'm I'm really gifted at leadership and 470 00:26:21,799 --> 00:26:26,039 at you know, at leading, I'm gifted at you know, 471 00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:30,440 beat a boss. And so that's not and I want 472 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,920 to do something that that is aligned with my gifting. 473 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:40,480 Oh like when Jesus refused to wash feet because he 474 00:26:40,519 --> 00:26:49,079 was gifted. Interesting view of serving, interesting view of diversity, 475 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:49,599 isn't it. 476 00:26:51,079 --> 00:26:51,839 Speaker 2: Jesus, with all. 477 00:26:51,759 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: Those skills, chose to do the least popular job. Oh 478 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,880 and on the topic of diversity. We're told that skin 479 00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:04,079 color decides everything, but apparently it doesn't. There's some people 480 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,759 who are willing to look at the performance of someone 481 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,839 and then make a judgment, such as this lady talking 482 00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:15,480 about her Kamala regrets and understand farmers working at a 483 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,000 pill for this that can help you get over the 484 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,240 farmer regrets or the Kamala regret. It has some side effects, 485 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,039 but don't gonna tell you about those. 486 00:27:22,319 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 8: Listen, let me be one of the first black women 487 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,359 that was a part of the ninety two or the 488 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,759 ninety three percent that voted for Kamala to come out 489 00:27:29,799 --> 00:27:32,359 and just say it. I regret voting for Kamala. 490 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 2: I really do. 491 00:27:33,559 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 4: I regret voting for her. 492 00:27:36,839 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 8: Already into Trump's presidency, not even a full month, and 493 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,039 this man is already secured borders, He's already signing bills 494 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:52,240 that are taking place that are uplifting this country. Me 495 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,960 not doing my history and really, you know, being investigative 496 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,680 and seeing all the things that has done and now 497 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,599 having an eye opener and really looking at this man 498 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,880 and seeing exactly how this man works has really put 499 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,160 something on my heart. And I don't know what I 500 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,279 was thinking going in there voting for Kamala in the 501 00:28:16,319 --> 00:28:17,480 first place. I'm glad. 502 00:28:17,759 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 4: I'm glad of the results. 503 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,319 Speaker 8: Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that I'm saying that 504 00:28:21,319 --> 00:28:25,440 I'm glad that Trump is in there, but me being 505 00:28:25,519 --> 00:28:31,200 so lost and participating into the whole Kamala run and 506 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,480 now taking a step back looking at how this president 507 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,200 here is really running things and it hasn't even been 508 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:39,160 a whole month. 509 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 4: It's something that I do think about. 510 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 8: So, you know, I advise people that are on the 511 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,880 Democratic that are in the Democratic Party myself. 512 00:28:49,559 --> 00:28:50,599 Speaker 4: To do your research. 513 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 8: Really do your research, Okay, because I can definitely say 514 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,640 that as a black woman, a part of the ninety 515 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,759 three percent I made era, I can admit that I 516 00:29:01,759 --> 00:29:03,440 can take accountability and admit. 517 00:29:03,319 --> 00:29:09,319 Speaker 1: That that's almost like washing feet. Humility is hard and 518 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:15,440 admitting something like that is hard. And diversity, actual diversity, Man, 519 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,000 it's cool some settings where it has to be unity 520 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:27,160 above that. Story number three. So there's this guy who's 521 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:32,000 an adventist pastor and cool name. How come I can't 522 00:29:32,039 --> 00:29:35,480 have the name Delbert. My name is a sound, it's 523 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,960 an utterance. You can you can say my name by mistake. 524 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,759 You hit your knew top. Yeah, I'm grateful for no, 525 00:29:42,839 --> 00:29:45,240 I'm not. I was gonna say I'm grateful for my name. 526 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:45,519 Speaker 2: I'm not. 527 00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: I wish my parents would name me something else. I 528 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,960 tried to rename myself a bunch of times, and it 529 00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:55,640 never stuck. Delbert Snell was thinking through the reason that 530 00:29:55,759 --> 00:30:00,920 Babylon became the most powerful nation in Biblical times, and 531 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,680 I'll show you what he came up with here in 532 00:30:02,759 --> 00:30:05,119 just a second, because man, it took some thinking. 533 00:30:06,039 --> 00:30:08,119 Speaker 2: It took some thinking.

In Karendine 562 00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:33,480 Future Results Truck twenty five Dash one three seven, here's 563 00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:38,319 the pastor talking about Babylon. The Babylonian Empire was. They 564 00:31:38,359 --> 00:31:42,039 went throughout the regions, they took people captive. 565 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,559 Speaker 2: They built up their nation this way. 566 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,039 Speaker 1: Very famously in the Bible, they went and took captive 567 00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:51,359 some young Jewish boys, among them Daniel and his friends. 568 00:31:51,519 --> 00:31:53,680 The Book of Daniel came from him. He was giving 569 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,079 prophetic powers by God. 570 00:31:55,839 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 2: He ended up being one. 571 00:31:56,799 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: Of the guys who advised the king. But there some 572 00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:04,240 things he never did, and I don't think the pastor 573 00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:07,119 addresses this well. 574 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 9: The different medals represent the strength of the different kingdoms, 575 00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:15,960 so that the goal the kingdom would be the best 576 00:32:16,039 --> 00:32:18,279 one and each one would. 577 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 6: Be inferior to it. 578 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 9: And what God is telling Daniel is that Babylon, the 579 00:32:25,079 --> 00:32:28,799 head of Gold, would be the most powerful nation in 580 00:32:28,839 --> 00:32:34,039 the succession. So then the question should be what would 581 00:32:34,119 --> 00:32:36,279 make Babylon so great? 582 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,119 Speaker 6: I'm glad you asked. 583 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,759 Speaker 9: You just read it there in Daniel chapter one. Do 584 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:49,440 you realize that for all of Nepukanezar's eccentricities, he had one. 585 00:32:49,599 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 6: Good civil practice. 586 00:32:51,559 --> 00:32:56,839 Speaker 9: What made Babylon stand out was they instituted a diversity, 587 00:32:57,039 --> 00:33:00,160 equity and inclusion program. 588 00:33:00,599 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: Okay, can we pause please? Nebukenezer wasn't eccentric. He was Satanic. 589 00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:16,039 He worshiped false gods, he burned people to death, he 590 00:33:16,119 --> 00:33:20,039 forced people to poison themselves, he built temples for sex ceremonies. 591 00:33:22,079 --> 00:33:25,680 And no, he did not practice diversity. Only in the 592 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,759 case of Daniels and his friends, do we see that 593 00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:33,119 when the king tried to force them to deny their diversity. 594 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,039 They were Jewish Men, and they refused to turn their 595 00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:41,759 back on the God of the Bible. They refused to 596 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,920 engage in diversity. They wouldn't even eat the king's foods. 597 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,039 They were told, you have to eat the king's foods. 598 00:33:48,039 --> 00:33:51,160 They said, we can't, and we won't. This is not 599 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,400 a Dei program. Secondly, they were captives who, by the 600 00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,519 way tradition tells us, they were also frustrated. 601 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, y'all, y'all too slow with me today? Did you notice? 602 00:34:04,319 --> 00:34:04,880 It was there? 603 00:34:05,039 --> 00:34:10,199 Speaker 9: And Daniel chapter one, so that what a Babylon did 604 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,480 was every captured nation they would take individuals from that group, 605 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,320 and they would train them in the science and literature 606 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,760 of Babylon and put them to work in the king's service. 607 00:34:24,119 --> 00:34:26,760 Speaker 1: And they would take their names away from them, and 608 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,960 they would rename them, and they would steal their face, 609 00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:32,239 and they would be forced to kneel before. 610 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 2: The king to treat him as a god. 611 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,199 Speaker 1: And Daniel and his friends said, no, we will not 612 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,360 worship you. We worship the God of the Bible only. No, 613 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,920 we will not eat your foods. We'll learn your science, 614 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,079 we'll learn your language. We'll even let you call these 615 00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:51,239 made up names, but we will not become part of 616 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:56,519 your diversity program that forces us to kneel to you. Amazing, 617 00:34:56,559 --> 00:34:58,960 this man can take this view, and I actually wonder 618 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,199 if he really takes this view. 619 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,519 Speaker 2: First paid to take this view. 620 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:06,519 Speaker 9: And some believe that Neptia Kaneszar learned from his father, 621 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:13,000 Nabo Palaisa, that any kingdom that has a homogeneous cabinet 622 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,280 is going to have a lead in its prosperity. In 623 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:22,079 other words, nephtiw Kanneszer knew that if your cabinet is homogeneous, 624 00:35:22,199 --> 00:35:25,559 if your military looks the same, if all of those 625 00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:29,920 in leadership think the saying, guess what, your blind spots are. 626 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,159 Speaker 6: Going to be permanent. 627 00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:34,679 Speaker 9: And the only way to get a three hundred and 628 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:39,360 sixty degree view of wisdom is to have people from 629 00:35:39,519 --> 00:35:44,039 every nation represented in the leadership of government. 630 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: Nebukanezer went nuts. He thought he was a cow, and 631 00:35:52,079 --> 00:35:56,360 Daniel was given the gift of understanding the king's dreams. 632 00:35:57,159 --> 00:35:59,280 None of his advisers understood him. The king was putting 633 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,119 people to death because they couldn't explain his dreams. Daniel 634 00:36:02,119 --> 00:36:04,199 could explain them, and Daniel made cleared them. No, no, it's 635 00:36:04,199 --> 00:36:07,360 not me, it's my God. I'm not doing this. You 636 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,519 tried to kill us in a lion's den. That didn't work. 637 00:36:09,559 --> 00:36:11,239 You tried to burnish to death, that didn't work. Our 638 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:16,199 God is protecting us. God took the evil of captivity 639 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,199 and used it for Daniel. 640 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 2: To witness to Nebeconezer, that was his wisdom for periods 641 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:25,239 of time. 642 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 1: Nebucanzer said, you know what, no one criticized the God 643 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:33,400 of Daniel. That great wisdom this guy's talking about. He 644 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,400 went through crawling through the fields on his hands and knees, 645 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,679 eating grass because he thought he was a cow, just 646 00:36:38,679 --> 00:36:43,719 like Daniel said he would. God took people who had 647 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,039 been taken captive and preserved his word and in fact 648 00:36:47,159 --> 00:36:52,639 witness to people who never would have believed him had 649 00:36:52,639 --> 00:36:57,519 they simply been talking about conquered territories. The story of 650 00:36:57,639 --> 00:37:00,400 Daniel and the fact that they couldn't kill him spread 651 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,039 throughout the kingdoms. There were people who inadvertently went and 652 00:37:04,079 --> 00:37:05,840 evangelized the God of the Bible. 653 00:37:07,199 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 6: That's not diversity. 654 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,760 Speaker 1: That's God taking evil and making it good, using it 655 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:18,719 for good. My goodness, gracious, I want to pray for 656 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,119 that pastor and the people who are taken by these 657 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,239 false teachers. Bible was so very clear about the penalty 658 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,760 for false teachers. Man, pastor, polease repent. This is a 659 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,280 Todd Hermann Shaw. Please go, be well, be strong, be 660 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,800 kind to please make every effort to walk in the 661 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:35,519 light of Christ.
