Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of the Todd Herman Show.
Story number one, the next target in the War on
Families is discussed that story number two JD Vance hit
the European elites right where it hurts them, and that
is their souls. And story number three how to destroy
in Megachurch. Talk about this with the help of Know
Your Risk Radio dot com and reminder, we can't do
anything of eternal value without God Almighty, Thank you Lord.
Speaker 2: But Todd Herman Show is one disapproved by big pharma
technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of Free American.
Here's the Emerald City exime Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is a day the Lord has made and these
are the times which God has decided we shall live.
New phrase courtesy of Alex who actually have to look
it up as well. It's a gen Z phrase. It's
called crashing out, and we're gonna talk about the next
war on families, next target in that war. The War
on families has been ongoing and the crash outs part
of that. It's a classroom crash out. A teacher whigs
and a student steps in to try to be helpful. Now,
how is this say Warren families. Well, obviously, on the
teaching level, there is a massive attempt to have government
schools become just that. And in fact, in the separate
country of Washington State, they have recently passed legislation that
takes all all curricula and makes it private. So the
schools you fund that the government runs with your money
are still called public schools. But if you want to
go see the curriculum, even math curriculum, they do not
have to show it to you. It is none of
your business where your kids are being taught. Then, in
the same time, in those schools made it impossible to
fire teachers who teach gender ideology. In other words, if
you want to keep your job forever, teach gender ideology.
They also refused an amend them and attend them to
a bill. Amendment to a bill that would have made
its a requirement that schools inform parents if their kids
are being had been sexually abused by a teacher. They
didn't want to have to report that immediately if they
wanted to be able to wait, So Democrats voted no.
Now that's about the government schools, but that's not the
next target. The next target has been brewing for many
many years in California on a national basis before praise God,
President Trump got in the office. But it starts with
the schools because there's a lot of reasons that parents
might look at a school like this and say, I
don't think I want my kid in this. The only
thing that bothers me more than him is all the
Republican senators and congressmen who just keep going along with it.
Speaker 3: It's not because they believe in it.
Speaker 4: You gotta know.
Speaker 3: They don't believe in it.
Speaker 4: They don't believe in any of it.
Speaker 5: They're just afraid that he's going to talk smack about.
Speaker 1: Them on truth social and then they're gonna lose their
job in an election.
Speaker 6: So they're just doing them in every set, which is
the worst possible.
Speaker 5: Thing, because that's call entctatorship.
Speaker 7: Do you see that.
Speaker 5: I'm not kidding when I say wipe that smile up.
Speaker 4: I don't care if there's a detention.
Speaker 1: I just wrote you are referralmentally, you going to detention
for bringing up politics and class you want to go
for to.
Speaker 5: Excuse me?
Speaker 2: Excuse me after all put up with you for the
last two years.
Speaker 5: And pop you up and stood your back when they read.
Speaker 1: You, you want you say, what what.
Speaker 5: Are you serious treating even that disrespect? Are you serious?
Speaker 3: Are you serious?
Speaker 5: Are you serious? If I can take that your letter
of recommendation.
Speaker 7: From college right now? I would you talk to.
Speaker 1: Me like that?
Speaker 5: After everything I've done for you?
Speaker 1: Are you kiddidate?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: Detention?
Speaker 3: Don't ever talk to me again personally. You can ask
questions in.
Speaker 1: Class, you say anything in class without raising your hand.
You go to detention, bro me from.
Speaker 3: Now on, disrespect me like that.
Speaker 5: You got your letter, so now everything's good.
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 5: You got your high grade on the midturn, so everything's good.
Speaker 1: Now you can treat me like that?
Speaker 5: After all I stood up for you.
Speaker 1: You pup? You really gonna do that to me?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I see why they call it a crash out. And
by the way, you see the implied threat. Can't take
the letter of recommendation back. But you got a good
grade on your midterm but not necessarily on future assignments.
Is that cause for that teacher to be drawn out
of the classroom for a little while and maybe given
an opportunity to work on parking lot cleaning as a career.
We all make mistakes. I get it. I've actually worked
in the government schools where teachers have crashed outs. I've
had to go in between students and teachers before I
get it. This stuff happens. But on politics, of course
it does, because the government schools have become a political
indoctrination program, and we all get this. So people are homeschooling,
which is going to bring us to the state of
Illinois in just a second. Because the next target in
the war on families is not just churches. The enemy
is all over the churches. The government's been funding fake
Christian churches through USAID. You have been funding fake heretical churches.
But now they're going after parents who've made the decision
to say I'm not putting my kids into a position
like that. Parents are making good, reasonable decisions, so we
can't have that. I anticipate a big war coming as
people are making other decisions. If RFK Junior actually does
ever begin actual reform. I know he just got into office,
I know him being unfair, but I'm so anxious to
see farmer reforms. If he ever really goes and does this,
I think there's going to be a massive, massive pushback.
So maybe that's why he's being careful, But I also
remember an attempt to shut down products like native path
antarctic curl. Do you remember this? This was in recent
history that the FDA wanted you to have to get
a prescription for nutritial supplements like this that are simply
fatty acids Omega threes. Well, I shouldn't say simply Native
path Antarctic crow comes from seventy three miles off the
Antarctic coast. Those are, by the way, the purest and
cleanest waters in the world. These are not easy to get,
so why do it? Why not just use fish based
omega three oils well? Because these are one percent more
absorbable than the than the competitors fish oil. And I'm
a pescatarian guys, I eat fish about three times a day,
basically a pescatarian, So why even take omega three's well?
Because they help boost your metabolism, they help boost blood flow,
so those are all good things. But what do you
feel for me? Native path antarctriccrill destroyed inflammation in my body?
And it did that because it makes the blood flow better,
et cetera. But I also know this one test showed
this reduced blood clots by sixty eight percent. Another side
by side study showed joint pain going down by twenty
eight percent. This is the stuff that got me off
of iberprofen, and I used to eat a lot of iberprofen,
which is, by the way, very very bad for your liver,
really toxic for the liver at high amounts, and it
causes inflammation. Native path Architectriccrill stun me. And how good
it is doing away with inflammation. So go to getcrill

I'm gonna let this lady explain. It's been tried in California.
It's been tried in the separate country of Washington. I'll
tell you what they tried to do after you hear
from her. The next target in the war on families,
she says, is HB two eight two seven in the
state of Illinois.
Speaker 5: Hi everybody.
Speaker 4: Shannon Edcock here with Awake Illinois. It is Monday, February tenth,
and I wanted to bring to your attention something that
we are grassroots lobbying opposition for right now here in
the state of Illinois, and that is House Built two
eight two seven. You guys, this is a really terrible
assault on parental rights and education freedom. And really since
the fall, we've had many homeschool groups and organizations ask
us if push comes to shove that we would help them,
and certainly we're on board to do just that. We're
big champions of parental rights and education integrity, and unfortunately,
the state of Illinois is trying to pass this bill
which will effectively put homeschool families on government surveillance. And Illinois,
since nineteen fifty we have had some of the most
free laws on the books protecting homeschool families and liberty,
and unfortunately this bill is going to try and get
government tentacles on homeschool children and effectively require all homeschool
families to register with their government, their government schools, with
the regional district or their local district, and families are
very worried about this. Additionally, if a family does not
submit registration, they will be considered quote truant with penalties applied. Now,
what they're going to do is try and get to
tug on the heart streams and try and get people
to vote yes to this bill in the state legislature
because they're using a really terrible incident of child abuse
where the family said that they were homeschooling the child
and they weren't, and there was an incredible case of abuse,
and that that's horrible. Nobody wants to see that. But
to assume that every homeschool family in the state of
Illinois is abusing their children and we're not educating them
is wrong. It is a terrible basis for this bill.
And when you look at the three sponsors of this bill,
you have Terra Costa, Howard, Kelly Cassidy, and Michelle Mussman.
Take a look at who funds their campaigns. Take a
wild guess, you got it, the teacher unions. And so
we're very worried that the special interest groups are leading
the way on this. They are assuming that all homeschool
families are not educating their children. That is wrong, and
families want to have independence from government. We do not
co parent with government Illinois, and so we're encouraging people
to go to our website www dot wakeil dot com
slash fight, and.
Speaker 1: People should do that. In the state of Illinois, registration
precedes what confiscation. They made an effort to try to
get people to register their home gardens. Do you remember
that the FDA wanted you to go to a websites
register your home garden and admit what you they were growing. Why?
Because they intend to control these things. In the separate
country of Washington State, they've made a consistent effort to
require church based schools to teach the pornographic and perverse
education that dominates the government schools there un godly and
they're trying to insert it into godly church schools. They've
made consistent efforts to allow your local school employees to
come a knocking to observe your homeschooling of your kids,
because of course they're the perfect experts who know exactly
how to do that. Now, that's a state where education
spending has skyrocketed and grades have plummeted, But we need
to have them come by and check on your work.
This is a pre event warning. President Trump took office
Praise God. We're seeing a whole bunch of efforts to
move school choice bills. Texas, Florida, ceter are getting very
aggressive on this. President Trump is talking about this National
Education Association is Panics. The Department of Education is in
Trump's hands. It's already banned some of the shots or
the mandates for some of the shots. They can also
empower homeschooling by simply shifting how the monies are used
and make the Department of Education a clearinghouse for parents
to apply to use moneies or to get money to use.
Just send it to the parents. Better yet, abolish it
and have this happen at the state level. The next
war on families is a war against homeschooling, because the
numbers in the government schools have dropped significantly since the lockdowns,
and many parents are perfectly happy to have their kids
outside of there. Remember, raise a child up in what's right.
That is the word of God, and as they grow old,
they'll come back to that. They'll not depart. They're going
to have their periods of time where their prodigals most
of us do. But teach them up in what's right
from the beginning. That's the word of God, and they'll
come back to it. They just want to make sure
it's harder and harder and harder to teach what's right
to our kids. Story number two. So you remember when
Jade Vance last week went over to Europe and he
talked to them about free speech. He lectured them, he
said a great line, if you are running in fear
from your own voters, there's nothing the United States can
do to help you. He shared some very specific instances
of free speech abuses, such as a man who went
to jail because he went on a block where there
is an abortion clinic. He stood behind a tree with
his back turn to the clinic and he stood there silently,
and then some police officers so called, came up and
asked him what he was doing, and he honestly admitted,
I'm praying, praying in his own mind, and asked him
what he was praying for. He said that he was
praying for his deceased son that he and a former
wife or girlfriend had decided to terminate. He was arrested,
and that arrest was upheld. So jd Vance called out
circumstances like this. He made that great joke, if we
can survive all these years of Gernath Thornberg lecturing us
about so called climate catastrophe, you can survive four years
of Elon Musk. And he's also mentioned on separate locations,
in separate times that the same European Union has tried
to put Elon behind bars or to attack him or
find him for a free speech such as it used
to be on Twitter. It's still is far better than
it used to be. Well, a German defense minister has
responded to this. I got to show you how he responded.
This is the least of the ones. This is actually
a guy at least speaks. Another dude cried, actually fell
into tears about this. I'll show you this in just
a second. Regulation and this is what the your opinion
wants to do or your union has to do to everything.
Regulation is needed in some ways, certainly, but when there's
such clear evidence that the regulation is just protectionism, can
we just stop pretending I shouldn't have to do what
I'm going to do in a couple months, which is
go get on an airplane, fly from where I live
or in North Idaho, fly down to Dallas, have a
long wait over, and then fly into Port of Art
to Mexico, and I love it down there. I love
the city, I love the people. It's a new resort.
I haven't been to this one. I've seen it in pictures.
It's just across the street from renewed Dot Healthcare. I'm
going to go down there and get another stem cell treatment.
I shouldn't have to do that. I should be able
to drive up the street and get stem cells and instantly.
Of course, I would never use stem cells from abortions.
It's unthinkable to me, never ever do that. This is
medical waste. In our country. Placentas and umbilical cords are
treated as medical waste. Not by renew They contact parents
and they pay for the childbirthing process all the way
through it. They monitor the health of the mother and
the baby or baby throughout that process and afterwards to
make sure that the babies and mothers are healthy. Therefore,
highest quality stem cells they take tom Mexico and they
culture them those stem cells. The magic is this, they're
building cells. They're just sitting there teeming with energy to
build cartilage, muscle, tendon. They fight inflammation, they destroy inflammation,
and when they're putting your body into a specific location,
they help you heal. They can even prevent surgery. Given
what I do in the gym and outside the gym,
I'm gonna go down and get my shoulders looked at,
my little or back looked at, and I'm no one
going to get some of that treatment. You can too,
even if you are in a serious situation like traumatic
brain injuries. Yes, I've seen people go into renew paralyzed,
hemispherically paralized and walk out. If they're that good, go
to renew dot Healthcare. It's r E n U E
dot Healthcare. R E n U E dot Healthcare. Tell
me you're part of the Todd Hermanshaw family. This is
the German defense Minister Boris Pastorius, part of a country
that radically, radically regulates speech. Speaking of regulation. Responding to JD.
Vange's speech and listen to the end, and it might
be a little bit annoying in that it's his voice
with a translator over the top, a female translator.
Speaker 2: Here you go.
Speaker 3: This is why I cannot just ignore what we heard before.
I cannot not comment on the speech we heard by
the US Vice president. We fight for your right to
be against us. That is the motto one of the
mottos of the BUNDESLH and it stands for our democracy,
this democracy that was just called into question by the
Hughes vice president, or not just the German democracy, but
Europe as a whole. He spoke of the annulment of
democracy and if I understood him correctly, he compares the
condition of Europe with the condition that prevails in some
auto authoritarian regimes. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not acceptable.
Speaker 2: Oh they like that.
Speaker 1: Did you hear that line? This is not acceptable? But
they're all about the free speech, but this is not
acceptable well accepted. Bud jd Van says free speech. We
are a free speech loving country that our own speech
has been under attack. So Jdvance has spoken about this
in our country. They're targeting, going after the censorship industrial
complex here. So it's not like he's just picking on Europe.
But you are living in a country in a European
Union that just recently did this. There was a guy
who made the decision to go out and burn a Quran,
not something I do, but something he decided to do. Now,
I think the Kuran is I think Islam is a
false faith. In fact, I think it's Satanic but I
don't think it had occurred to me to go to
burn a Kuran. This guy did so. Yep, it's provocative.
It's going to anger people, gonna it really angered a
guy who decided to rush out of his house with
a knife and try to on the street or a
pardon me, try to make him unlive. So when that occurred,
there was a guy there with a camera. Then the
guy wielding the weapon went after that guy. You tried
to unlive him. He called that out and he returned
to the guy burned the Kuran and them in the
face and beat them, but bladly didn't. Now Shockingly, that
guy who came out with a weapon was arrested, So
was the guy who burned the Kuran. Take a wild
guess of who was still in jail a few days later.
Not the guy with the weapon, the guy who burned
a book. This is the European Union. We are questioning
your democracy because it's questionable because you're not cherishing free speech,
far from it. You're trying to get access to people's
private text messages. You've been trying to do this for years.
You've gone to Apple and said you want to backdoor
into their encryption software because you want to be able
to read our messages. You've even had police chiefs talk
about extraditing Americans who criticized the Crown. There was a
police chief in England who said this, you criticize the
crown and what we're doing. You criticize our immigration policies,
We'll extradite you from the United States and bring here
is sand charges. Okay, come and try that. You guys
tried that with us once and it didn't work. This
extends into the Green Party. Germans Vice chancellor and Green
Party leader Hebeck attacked Vice President Vance mind your own business.
I love this. This is from Zla Levant, a guy
who started and run Rebel News. US taxpayers pay for
fifty thousand US troops to be stationed in Germany at
forty different air bases. I'm afraid you are America's business.
Speaking of JD. Vance, I noticed this and hadn't yet
really brought this to your attention. He's a different sort
of VP. That was a great speech. I looked later
and there was a teleprompter, but he didn't need it.
He was just glancing at it. He is a sharp intellect.
He's also a guy who absolutely doesn't stand on all
the hoity toity tradition. If you're not watching the videolet
makes crime it. This is jd Vance coming out of
a sandwich shop, sweatshirt, jeans, laid back and yep, guess
what his entire security detail gets to do that. If
you know what you're looking for, you know what you're seeing.
Secret Service can dress down when they're with Jade Vans.
And as he walks around smiling people, waving at people
simply walking through town. Think of how often we watched
doctor Jill Biden. Did you know she's a doctor, not
really going around town being escorted by her well dressed
Secret Service stations. Very very different approach. Praise God. See
there is a humility to that. And I think there's
a humility in Jdvance to be able to criticize our
country in the free speech policies here and go to
Europe and do the same thing. The Europeans were paying attention.
He was even more gentle on them than he's been
on us. And I say, again, God is pro free speech.
How can I prove that? Because we can speak. He's
also a pro accountability. He warns us about the tongue
that the tongue is a two edged sword that we
need to be care with it. That same tongue with
which we praise the Lord Jesus, we turn around and
call people names, is that really praising him? So he's
also pro accountability. Mean, yes, it's one thing to say
you follow the Lord Jesus, but if you say it
and don't do it, he has a special special warning
on that. God himself is pro free speech. The European
Union is not. That should tell you something. When people
are trying to shut down speech, it's not because they're
afraid of lies. It's because they're afraid of truth. It's
the soul that Jadvan said, because the soul of these
people they still have them are crying out. God is truth.
When you're fighting against speech, you're fighting against truth. And
when you're fighting against truth, truth is not just a theory,
it's a person. It's God. Almighty Jesus said, I am
the Way, the Truth, and the life. No one gets
to the Father, but through me they're fighting God. Story
number three. If you wanted to go out and take
a well attended megachurch and destroy it, I think this
would be a very very good way to do this,
and people ask me all the time, did you reach
out to these pastors? Did you do the Matthew thing?
And I admit I am not, And maybe that makes
me just as bad as they are. Almost certainly does.
So maybe I'll just make these attempts, even though I
know they're not going to say yes, I'll make the attempts.
What they did. We got this from our friends at
protest to you dot com. A so called pastor named
Ali Patterson made an interesting decision on a way of
sharing God's word. She decided to kick the Bible to
punt the Bible. Now, this was around the Super Bowl,
but tell me what you think of this.
Speaker 5: And each quarter praisers will be given a random phrase
that they must effectively work into their message.
Speaker 3: And my understanding is these are completely random.
Speaker 5: They have never seen them before.
Speaker 7: Seriously, you know, hey, folks, time to meet our players.
Speaker 1: Let's head down to the field for today's starting line up.
This is the super Bowl of preaching the.
Speaker 3: Legend.
Speaker 5: Bryan, come, wow.
Speaker 1: That's costly, you know, production, that's costly, right? Explosions dry ice.
Speaker 7: That's like a ww ethan, I guess.
Speaker 1: That an explosion dry ice popping out lighting. Well done,
super expensive stage licensed music. That's expensive.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 5: No, we'll just call it when it lands, call it
in the air, tell.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's just go with tails. Would you like the
kicker received the Bible?
Speaker 7: Gosh?
Speaker 1: Okay, So they're all in football uniforms. That guy who's
doing the coin toss is dressed as a referee. They're
on a fake football field. And that's also, man, some
money here. They're taking God's word and they're going to
place the Bible on the floor, and this woman is
going to kick the Bible. They said punt. This is
a place kick. They're really going to do this.
Speaker 5: I'm back with the kick.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, she kicks it off stage.
Speaker 6: Get a touch Baptist time in eighteen years, there's a
touchback for the kickoffs.
Speaker 1: Now did this ruin the church?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh no, they're still well attended. Tell me where in
that there is any any reverence. And megachurches are often
called out for this, and look, I get it. We
have people come into our church and say, I just
can't stand the worship music. I need hymns, and I
need the old music, and I need organs. Okay, but
I don't think you can make an argument that is
not reverent. It's just louder. God spent a lot of
our time. He doesn't need time with that book. Just
think of it this way. If you came home one
day and your kids had taken a beloved family photo album.
Let's say you and your wife's wedding album with pictures
of you know, the kids in there and the day
they were born, the whole family album, the wedding, the burths,
the graduations, and you've got this family album. He looked
in the backyard and your kids were playing football with it,
kicking it. Your response is the parent would be what exactly?
God is the perfect parent. I don't think I can
think like God, but I sure know that he loves
his word. How do I know that in the beginning
was the word. The word was with God, and the
word was God. Jesus had been called the word. That's
pretty significant. Did it ruin the church? Well, what's the
purpose of the church to teach any form of reverence?
Turns out that once this went up on protestia dot com,
some people were upset. So I'm going to show you
a response from one of the people at the church
who took protesta dot com to task for this, as
if Protestia dot Com did anything wrong by simply highlighting
something these guys put up online. Share that in a
second God is reverence for all forms of human life.
He does. We are reminded time and time and time
again that God knit us together in our mother's womb.
He counted every hair on our head. He gave us,
of course, the very breath of life. He gave us
of source, his son in a monumental active sacrifice, to
pay a debt that we could not pay, so that
on judgment Day, when we're on our knees, if we're
asked how we plead, we can begin with will Lord
I begin by pleading the blood of Jesus. It's a
pretty good start. He also expects us to honor his
reverence for life with our own, to care for the
least of these. This is one of the reasons why
I love working with Alan Soaps, because, yeah, it's a
soap company. The soap is incredible, It's made in America
with three generations of soap making expertise. It's all natural,
zero chemicals. The fragrances are totally unique because those fragrances
come from the mind of a young kid named Alan.
He is, in many people's eyes, the least of these,
but then again, to God, we're all the least of these.
Why would he be Alan? Because he's thirteen, he's been
through but eighteen operations. You are not going to be
able to understand him if you ever get the joy
of meeting him. He is effectively nonverbal. It's very, very
difficult to understand what he's saying. If he has to talk,
he uses an iPad and it's still pretty difficult. His
mom can interpret. None of this means he's stupid. Far
from it. He's a very brilliant kid. He just can't speak,
and he moves in a unique way, given the eighteen
operations he's been through. He used to be the only
employee at Alan's. That's why Alan Soaps exist to employ him.
His dad, John created the company for that. It's not
that way anymore now. It's Ian. His brother works there,
also impacted by autism, and Amy works there. She has
late onset autism. All three of them work there. That
is the mission of the company. So you conjoin it.
Clean your body with great natural soap made in America,
no chemicals, and at the same time prove that all
lives matter, even the least of these go to Alan
Soaps dot com slash todd. That's Alan Soaps dot com
slash todd. So there is a response to protesting dot com.
Our friend's David Morell over there to their simply taking
the video that this church wanted to be online because
they put it online and showing it to people.
Speaker 6: Now, I think the reason is because you and I,
deep inside of us, we have this thing that makes
us deeply suspicious. Whenever we see what looks like sustained
success aka favor, we assume there's something fishy going on.
So what we say about the chiefs, it's the Kansas
City Chiefs, not the chiefs, And it's the rafts.
Speaker 5: That's why Roger Goodell wants them to get ahead. That's
what we say about them.
Speaker 6: It doesn't just apply to the chiefs, by the way,
anybody or anything that's successful.
Speaker 5: We take this stance with We hear it all the time.
Speaker 6: Roads all the time, not new at all, but did
explode last year went to a whole entirely different level.
Speaker 5: And it's this accusation that we're just about the show.
Have you ever heard that is just about the show, which,
if you're brand new today one welcome pumpture here. Number two.
Want to be very very clear on this point. Please
please hear me.
Speaker 6: Yes, we're about the show today.
Speaker 5: Yes, of course we hope it's awesome.
Speaker 6: But we're not just about the show. We're about you
experiencing Jesus. We're about you meeting him.
Speaker 7: So we're clear.
Speaker 1: There is no cross behind this pasture. There is an
X to B and a false football stage. It's really
well done stage, but there's no Cross of Christ at all.
Speaker 6: But every chain in your life breaking and you experiencing
a life changing power that only comes through His word.
Speaker 5: That's what we're about. It's why we do the big
dumb show.
Speaker 6: It's actually why we started Crossroads twenty nine years ago
as a place where it doesn't matter what you believe,
doesn't matter if you've given up on church, if you're
interested in what God can do in your life.
Speaker 5: That's why we're here.
Speaker 6: And we started this thing the Super Bowl preaching on
the weekend that was the least attended church weekend of
the year, and we flipped it on its head and
we've made it this thing that's now this giant party
that connects literally has got to tens.
Speaker 5: Of thousands of people. To Jesus, It's absolutely incredible. And
for that, do you know what we get?
Speaker 1: Hated?
Speaker 5: Absolutely hated. Like I said, it exploded last.
Speaker 6: Year thanks to one online article that accused us of
kicking a bible.
Speaker 7: It accused you, sorry, it accused you, but you did
kick a bible.
Speaker 1: Huh? Is it very false witness when you say that
you didn't do what you did and suggests that the
person who said you did it is lying, even though
they showed a video.
Speaker 6: It went to a highly different level, got thousands of
emails and complaints, tax everything for people all over the
country just telling us how much.
Speaker 5: They hate us, how bad we are. It reached such
a bad level that.
Speaker 6: One of us up here actually had to have private
security for us and our kids for weeks due to
a death threat. Still it follows us around My kids
at school just in the past week. If each had
somebody come up to them and say, you know, Crossroads is.
Speaker 5: A fake church because you hate the Bible.
Speaker 7: You kick the Bible.
Speaker 6: Which, just for the record, I just want to be
really clear. This is a book cover, okay.
Speaker 5: And this is phone inside, but it's always been in there.
It's not a Bible.
Speaker 1: Oh oh neat so it was a fake Bible. It
doesn't get better. And of course I do not want
these people to get death threats. Of course this is
something for which you concern the other cheek. And of
course they've got a lot of people sitting in the
stands the stand but on a stage with Noll Cross
in a setting where you admit it's about the show,
in a setting where you made it appear you were
kicking a Bible, you're not showing any reverence. Now, maybe
there's different sermons where you do this. You've been very,
very successful, but you're always making disciples of something. Is
it truly Jesus which you're making disciples or is it
of entertainment. You can get to a point where the
show is so entertaining, so good that people might risk
going home and going what was that verse again? Whereas
sometimes in preaching the show should hurt. Sometimes in preaching
in church, you should have a quarter or more of
your audience really uncomfortable, really feeling convicted. If you've never
felt convicted in church, you've never had the Holy Spirit
call you out. We've never gone through seasons where you
don't want to go to church lest you might hear
the word of God, I would suggest to you that
your pastor may not be in the Bible, or might
just be kicking a Bible, well, a fake Bible for
entertainment sake. This is the Todd Hermann Show. Please go,
be well, be strong, be kind, and please make every
effort to walk in the light of Christ.
