Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, definitely for children of
Speaker 1: all ages. Welcome to this edition.
Speaker 2: Of Let's Get Biblical with your host, a man from
Speaker 2: the entertainment realm of over twenty years. Formally you got
Speaker 2: that right as a stand up comedian and more and now.
Speaker 1: Turned evangelist for Christ. Here he is your host, my host,
Speaker 1: our host, please KD. Thank you mister movie phone, and
Speaker 1: thank you for listening to another episode of Let's Get
Speaker 1: Biblical right here on your favorite podcasting platform, whether it's Spotify, Speaker, Apple, iTunes,
Speaker 1: and more. Thank you for listening to us in seventeen
Speaker 1: countries worldwide. And what is Let's Get Biblical? You may
Speaker 1: be thinking, maybe you're a believer, maybe you're a non believer,
Speaker 1: maybe you're an atheist. You come on in because we're
Speaker 1: about to share the Gospel in a unique way where
Speaker 1: we believe in testimony. Transparency leads to transformation. That's what
Speaker 1: we believe in here on Let's Get Biblical. With being
Speaker 1: a former stand up comedian, sometimes we can get a
Speaker 1: little silly, sometimes we can get it a little crazy,
Speaker 1: but we always keep it biblical here on the show.
Speaker 1: And thank you for joining us here in the month
Speaker 1: of October for our series called Keeping It Real. As
Speaker 1: I just said, we're keeping it real in the Bible,
Speaker 1: we kept it real in the end of Times. We
Speaker 1: are now keeping it real with fakeness in the world.
Speaker 1: Did that hit some people? Fakeness? We all put on
Speaker 1: these masks. We'll talk about that coming up. We'll call
Speaker 1: out social media, We'll call out our very own churches
Speaker 1: where we put on these masks every single day. What
Speaker 1: does the Bible say about it, what are we going
Speaker 1: to do about it? And also where will it lead us? Ultimately? Also,
Speaker 1: at the end of the show, we do have a
Speaker 1: gift for you guys. If you're a non believer, believer
Speaker 1: or atheist, stick around at the end of the show,
Speaker 1: we do have something for you. Know, it's not a Bible,
Speaker 1: but stick around and hang out with us anyway, because
Speaker 1: I'd love to say that this show is kind of
Speaker 1: like sitting down in a small group or maybe getting
Speaker 1: ready to have dinner or lunch with your friends, and
Speaker 1: we're just sharing life. That's what we're doing. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: sharing some testimony, sharing some scriptures. I trust you you're
Speaker 1: not going to burn a that of hell because we
Speaker 1: drop a verse on you. Okay, maybe that could be
Speaker 1: at a later date. If you don't follow christ that's
Speaker 1: another story for another time. But if you guys have
Speaker 1: been following this program over the last couple of years,
Speaker 1: we thank you. We try to have a little bit
Speaker 1: of fun with this program. We do broadcast live now
Speaker 1: from time to time on TikTok at podcaster Katie, and
Speaker 1: we're going to be broadcasting live on YouTube in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six, so make sure you go like and subscribe
Speaker 1: to our YouTube page as well. Let's get biblical with Katie,
Speaker 1: and let's do that today. I want to talk a
Speaker 1: little bit about fakeness. I want to talk about mask.
Speaker 1: We are broadcasting right now in the third week of October,
Speaker 1: and right around the owner is Halloween. Gee, do you
Speaker 1: think we plan this show a little bit? Normally we
Speaker 1: don't plan shows. I know we don't plan what I'm
Speaker 1: saying out of my mouth, I will tell you that much.
Speaker 1: It's the Holy Spirit that's invoked upon me and my
Speaker 1: personality at the same time. So be prepared, be ready,
Speaker 1: be warned. Okay, with Halloween right around the corner, our
Speaker 1: children are getting ready to go out on trick or tree.
Speaker 1: They're going out to put on masks. They're getting to
Speaker 1: be characters like the Avengers or whatever they want to be,
Speaker 1: to be something different. Well, we tend to do this
Speaker 1: in our world right now. We tend to be a
Speaker 1: little different and put on masks every single day. I've
Speaker 1: got the podcaster mask on right now. I've got the
Speaker 1: entertainer mask on right now, I've got the pastoral mask
Speaker 1: on right now. We all have masks and it's okay.
Speaker 1: But the problem is some of us get stuck behind
Speaker 1: that mask and we start to believe in what that
Speaker 1: mask is. You ever seen the movie with Jim Carrey,
Speaker 1: The Mask where he finds the mask in the water
Speaker 1: and it sucks right onto his face and it takes
Speaker 1: over his whole life, body and soul. We see this
Speaker 1: in the world today. We see it with our big
Speaker 1: name entertainers. Lady Gaga, I'm not throwing any names out there, okay,
Speaker 1: I am. If you watch the VMAs a couple weeks back,
Speaker 1: this is a woman who puts on tons of masks.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go into saying if it's demonic
Speaker 1: or non demonic or that that's another show for another time,
Speaker 1: of course. But we are battling forces of good and evil.
Speaker 1: We are battling the flesh. We are battling spiritual battles
Speaker 1: every single day. So why wouldn't we battle masks? I
Speaker 1: want to put that out there. You probably put out
Speaker 1: a mask. You go to work, right, you put on
Speaker 1: your work mask. You're not the same person at work
Speaker 1: as you are at home with your kids. You put
Speaker 1: on the mom and dad mask, not the same person
Speaker 1: that you would be maybe in the bedroom with your
Speaker 1: significant other. If you're a mom and dad, right, you
Speaker 1: act a certain way around the people that you're supposed
Speaker 1: to be. Some people call that adapting adaptability. I call
Speaker 1: it a mask. Why can we let the light of
Speaker 1: Jesus shine in our hearts on the world. That's what
Speaker 1: we're supposed to do, right, We're supposed to be the
Speaker 1: light of the world and the salt of the earth.
Speaker 1: That's what we're supposed to be doing. This took me
Speaker 1: a long time to realize this, as being a former
Speaker 1: stand up comedian in the world of entertainment, I did
Speaker 1: it for over fifteen years. I was on the verge
Speaker 1: of maybe getting things really rolling, because they say, if
Speaker 1: you've been in the business for over twelve years, you
Speaker 1: start to see things start to happen. And I was
Speaker 1: pretty close. Okay. I was actually in the world of
Speaker 1: entertainment over fifteen years. I was in stand up comedy
Speaker 1: for twelve, so I started kind of seeing the precipice
Speaker 1: and the fruits of my labor starting to come to be.
Speaker 1: I was performing in places. I was going in and
Speaker 1: out of places, making money. I was getting a little
Speaker 1: bit of notoriety on the East Coast with bookers and agents,
Speaker 1: not as big as I probably could have been or
Speaker 1: could have gone. But that's not where the Lord wanted
Speaker 1: me to be. He didn't want me to put on
Speaker 1: that mask of a stand up comedian. I would go
Speaker 1: behind the scenes as a stand up comedian. That's the
Speaker 1: face I put on. Nobody knew who the real KD was.
Speaker 1: Could the real KD please stand up? I mean, even
Speaker 1: Eminem has an alter ego, right, Eminem. I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about the candies for some of your old heads out
Speaker 1: there older than me, by the way, Okay, Eminem is
Speaker 1: a hip hop artist whose real name is Marshall Mathers. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll put it there. Having a little bit of fun
Speaker 1: with you today as well. But everybody does masks? How
Speaker 1: do we get rid of mask? Why do we do them?
Speaker 1: Whilst for protection, you're putting up a wall, You're putting
Speaker 1: up a face in a front to make yourself look
Speaker 1: better than you are. I'm going to be the first
Speaker 1: one to tell you that's what I did as a
Speaker 1: stand up comic. And right now you're starting to see
Speaker 1: that light burst through these masks because I'm sharing testimony
Speaker 1: with you. Testimony is one of our biggest tools as
Speaker 1: evangelists and pastors to use in our lives to show
Speaker 1: the light of Jesus. I really walked in a dark realm,
Speaker 1: dark world as a comedian and actor I did. Even
Speaker 1: on the little realm that I did it, you could
Speaker 1: see how certain people were being transformed to ways they
Speaker 1: shouldn't be transformed. I started walking with Christ while I
Speaker 1: was getting ready to kind of make a big name
Speaker 1: for myself, started working with big name artists Chris Catan,
Speaker 1: So for So and others. We'll put it that way.
Speaker 1: Try to be clever with my words right there, I apologize,
Speaker 1: but I did work with big name people and starting
Speaker 1: to get some connections, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: when I started to see this dark world I was
Speaker 1: walking as a light of God. It wasn't working for me.
Speaker 1: I was still putting on the mask of a stand
Speaker 1: up comedian entertainer. But man, the light was trying to
Speaker 1: burst through that mask. Just like in the movie The
Speaker 1: Mask with Jim Carrey, there is something about his personality.
Speaker 1: He was a funny, goofy, outgoing guy, but behind the
Speaker 1: mask he could be whatever he want to be. He
Speaker 1: want to be that smooth, devonair person. Guys, we do
Speaker 1: this all the time, especially when you're out in a
Speaker 1: bar or a club and you're trying to make a
Speaker 1: name for yourself with that lady at the end of
Speaker 1: the bar. We see it all the time on social media.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call out people on social media right now.
Speaker 1: We all do it. We all have these masks. I
Speaker 1: love watching these battles on TikTok. If you don't know
Speaker 1: what they are, it's influencers going up against each other,
Speaker 1: basically bickering and crying and complaining, trying to get you
Speaker 1: to give them money and taps and likes and so
Speaker 1: they can come out on top of the victor. Some
Speaker 1: of these women will go on and put all this
Speaker 1: makeup and there'll be people that they're not. You know
Speaker 1: that they're lights of God and children of God underneath
Speaker 1: those masks. You know it. You can see it, especially
Speaker 1: if you're a believer and you walk in the light
Speaker 1: and you have the gift of discernment, you can see that.
Speaker 1: You can see how these masks are holding these people back.
Speaker 1: Social media is killing us these days. It is social
Speaker 1: media is killing us. Yes, we broadcast on social media,
Speaker 1: but that's the light in a dark world. And you
Speaker 1: want to know how that's true. Well, if I were
Speaker 1: to go on TikTok right now, or if I were
Speaker 1: to make a podcast talking about how to make brownies nude,
Speaker 1: I bet you I would get one million hits. Not
Speaker 1: me personally, but if you put the words nude, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe twerking things of that nature, things that are of
Speaker 1: this world. If I put that into my titles or
Speaker 1: into my algorithms, I'd have a million hits. If I
Speaker 1: wanted to go on the air and say that I
Speaker 1: was going to become trans and change, I would have
Speaker 1: all these hits. But I'm not that I'm a child
Speaker 1: of God. And we need to realize that we are
Speaker 1: children of God and we need to stop faking who
Speaker 1: we truly are. You may believe that you're going to
Speaker 1: go out and be that big name superstar, that singer
Speaker 1: and entertainer, but you're going to hit a glass ceiling.
Speaker 1: Well you just will. I hit it. I know other actors,
Speaker 1: I know other singers that have done it. Because it's
Speaker 1: now time to take your path elsewhere. Still use those
Speaker 1: talents elsewhere, but take that mask off because God wants
Speaker 1: you to be the person that he created. He wants
Speaker 1: you to be that person that is that child of light.
Speaker 1: As we keep stressing, we were made in his image,
Speaker 1: not to put masks on. We weren't put masks on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fun for the kids, and it's fun for Halloween,
Speaker 1: and it's fun for costume parties. Sometimes, you know, to
Speaker 1: dress up, like I said, your favorite Avengers character or
Speaker 1: whatever you like, three stooges. That is an old reference.
Speaker 1: By the way, Jim Carryer the mask you can dress
Speaker 1: up as. But in life, have you ever tried taking
Speaker 1: your mask off? Have you ever tried taking that mask
Speaker 1: off and seeing what happens? Ah, you're cringing right now, right,
Speaker 1: you're cringing right now. That means vulnerability. That means you
Speaker 1: have to be humble. You have to really be the
Speaker 1: person that I don't know about that mask, Katie. I'm
Speaker 1: really comfortable in the mask that I'm behind right now.
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks I'm this big star on YouTube and this
Speaker 1: big star on social media. I have all this big following.
Speaker 1: I used to be there. I was the one trying
Speaker 1: to strive for the numbers. I was about quantity and
Speaker 1: not quality. I'm more about the quality of friendships now
Speaker 1: online and a community that we're building. And I want
Speaker 1: to say thank you for that. Those on TikTok that
Speaker 1: follow us. We're almost to what seven hundred followers. I
Speaker 1: know that's not a lot for some of you. Guys
Speaker 1: have been on TikTok since it's been born and putting
Speaker 1: on all those those fake masks. Ooh, I said it,
Speaker 1: putting on all the fake masks in order to get
Speaker 1: those numbers. But we're about building a community of believers
Speaker 1: to have better faith for the next generation. I want
Speaker 1: you guys to be able to follow Jesus and when
Speaker 1: he returns, you're right there with him. We have to
Speaker 1: become more vulnerable and take these masks off. Society wants
Speaker 1: you to put on those fake lashes they want you
Speaker 1: to put on those fake button plants. They want you guys.
Speaker 1: I see guys now, not just calling out the women. Now, Victoria,
Speaker 1: how you doing calling you out here on the podcast
Speaker 1: in a good way? By the way, men, I'm calling
Speaker 1: you out. Okay, you now have these like men girdles,
Speaker 1: I said it? Can I say men girdles? You have
Speaker 1: men girdles? You have shirts now that are tank tops
Speaker 1: that you can put on and it sucks everything in
Speaker 1: and you look all big and huge. How do I know?
Speaker 1: How do I know? I own one? I did the
Speaker 1: same thing. I'm not gonna lie behind these masks. We
Speaker 1: have all this stuff out there to change our identities today,
Speaker 1: and no, I'm not going there. If that's where you
Speaker 1: think I was going. Okay, we could do that show
Speaker 1: for another time. Talking about changing your identity. That's taking
Speaker 1: you away from the person God meant you to be.
Speaker 1: We were made in His image, caring, loving, empathetic, humble, respectful, diligent,
Speaker 1: hard working, tough. But we've allowed the world to put
Speaker 1: these masks on us. Wherever you're walking. Wherever you're walking,
Speaker 1: your job, maybe it's a job you don't want to
Speaker 1: be at, but you put this mask on, like, Hey,
Speaker 1: I love being here every day. I gotta do what
Speaker 1: I gotta do because the bill's got to be paid,
Speaker 1: the kids have got to eat. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: the mask starts to crumble. But once the mask crumbles,
Speaker 1: the light of God comes out, and he's right there
Speaker 1: next to you saying, I'm yours, your mine. When will
Speaker 1: you see that I've got brighter and bigger things for
Speaker 1: you to get out of that mask. I did this
Speaker 1: when I first started walking in the church. Oh, good
Speaker 1: testimony here, Katie. I started my fakeness in my walk
Speaker 1: when I started going into church. We'll talk about that
Speaker 1: when we return. Here's one of my favorite songs out there,
Speaker 1: Christian song by the way by Christian rap artists called Lacrae.
Speaker 1: When I was starting out in faith, this is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite songs. Talk about fake and I knew
Speaker 1: a lot about I knew a lot of friends in
Speaker 1: my group that were very fake. I knew fake gangsters.
Speaker 1: I knew fat, tough guys. I knew fake women who
Speaker 1: thought they were super duper people on the outside, but
Speaker 1: they're just mean and nasty on the inside. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about what type of person I was right.
Speaker 3: After this, I'm riding, riding, I'm getting it, and they
Speaker 3: ride around pretending I've been had and I've been done
Speaker 3: and I promised that its so limited and say they're riding.
Speaker 2: Who got us?
Speaker 1: They put some baby stoop college.
Speaker 3: We're trying to act like the traffics cool because we
Speaker 3: tied of hearing that divage.
Speaker 1: Shot like bags white pies of lads.
Speaker 3: I've been no dope boys since the teams the same
Speaker 3: word we meant to be y'all don't make no sense
Speaker 3: to me.

Speaker 1: For your old heads out there that tune into the podcast,
Speaker 1: that was hip hop for you, Okay, that was wrapped
Speaker 1: for you. Hey, we got to attract the young generation too,
Speaker 1: because that's what faking's all about. It is attacking our
Speaker 1: younger generation. It's attacking them through social media, making them
Speaker 1: into influencers that they may not become or where the
Speaker 1: Lord wants them to go. They're all stuck up in
Speaker 1: the world of the logan Pauls and more, seeing that
Speaker 1: this man can pretty much control the world through social media.
Speaker 1: But there's only one man that can ultimately control the
Speaker 1: world in your life, and that's Jesus Christ. That's why
Speaker 1: we're here today talking about masks, talking about faking. We
Speaker 1: kind of do this show once a year, and I
Speaker 1: only do it because I stumble across it. It's a
Speaker 1: time of the year where everybody is going to put
Speaker 1: their masks on for Halloween, getting prepped for Halloween. What
Speaker 1: mask are you going to use? You're going to go
Speaker 1: into that spirits warehouse where you pick up your masks.
Speaker 1: Now believers, deep believers. I know something else. Do not
Speaker 1: celebrate Halloween, and that is perfectly fine. I'm a trunk
Speaker 1: or treat type of guy. I'm also a fall fest
Speaker 1: kind of guy. I'm not about the pumpkin spice though.
Speaker 1: All right, let's just end that discussion right now. Not
Speaker 1: about pumpkin spice anything, pumpkin spice, latte, pumpkin spice, old spice,
Speaker 1: under my armpits, nothing. I am not about that. But
Speaker 1: we're in the year where masks are put on physically,
Speaker 1: but we have masks on ourselves every year. And that
Speaker 1: song right there, Fake and by Lacree breaks it down
Speaker 1: a lot. One of the favorite verses I love. He
Speaker 1: was trying to act hard and thought he was tupac
Speaker 1: until somebody rolled up and hit him with those two shots.
Speaker 1: That's not too difficult to break down for you old heads, right, Basically,
Speaker 1: he's a guy wanting to be a gangster, but he's
Speaker 1: not hanging out. He stepped on the wrong shoes and
Speaker 1: guess what his life was taken. You know, got a
Speaker 1: guy who thinks he was scarface, but he's still pushing
Speaker 1: a three hundred. He thinks it's a Cadillac, but it's
Speaker 1: a three hundred. You know, we all think, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: going to jump in a Volkswagen Jetta. That's a Porsche. No,
Speaker 1: it's a Volkswagen Jetta. You know, We're grow up in
Speaker 1: a world where the haves and the have nots, and
Speaker 1: we see the people that have a lot, and we
Speaker 1: want to achieve to be that when we don't have
Speaker 1: Christ in our life. We want to be the star
Speaker 1: on the screen. We want to be the Sabrina Carpenter,
Speaker 1: we want to be the Lady Gaga, and we want
Speaker 1: to be the Will Smith. Notice I didn't say Chris Rock.
Speaker 1: I said Will Smith. All right, okay, but I'd rather
Speaker 1: be Chris Rock. Why. He's a humble dude, and the
Speaker 1: way he took it, he could have easily swung back.
Speaker 1: He could have easily had his boys jump Will afterwards.
Speaker 1: He's humble. He's humble. But we put these masks on,
Speaker 1: and isn't he get tiring? It's tiring to put these
Speaker 1: masks on, guys. I don't even like to do it now.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you do have to adapt in an environment that
Speaker 1: you're in, so you act a certain way, but that
Speaker 1: shouldn't have you break out the light of Jesus, especially
Speaker 1: if you're just walking in faith. I get it myself
Speaker 1: when I walk into a room now, I try to
Speaker 1: deliver Jesus the most that I can. You know, I
Speaker 1: can walk into a restaurant, whether I say the words
Speaker 1: God bless, whether I say have a great day, that
Speaker 1: Jesus loves you. These are things I never would have
Speaker 1: said behind masks, because why the world doesn't want you
Speaker 1: to say these things. The world doesn't want you to
Speaker 1: say the name of Jesus. But when you say it
Speaker 1: out loud, that's when people tremble and lives are transformed. Jesus,
Speaker 1: it's the most powerful name in the world. So why
Speaker 1: hide behind a mask when you can speak the name
Speaker 1: of Jesus and bring the light out in somebody else's life.
Speaker 1: It's hard, though, right, It's hard because we have these circles,
Speaker 1: We have these social circles, especially our young kids today.
Speaker 1: We have these social circles where no, you know, she's
Speaker 1: wearing those cool shoes, and he's wearing that cool hat,
Speaker 1: and I know that hat costs fifty dollars and that
Speaker 1: the shoes cost three hundred mom, Dad, Can I get it.
Speaker 1: I grew up in that world. I grew up in
Speaker 1: that world. I was that kid. I didn't grow up
Speaker 1: in the church. I did not grow up in the church.
Speaker 1: My kids are growing up in the church, though completely
Speaker 1: different children, very humble children at times. Let's be honest.
Speaker 1: I have an eight year old. Sometimes it's not that humble.
Speaker 1: He doesn't understand sometimes when the bank accounts a little low.
Speaker 1: But it's okay. We share love with him and spend
Speaker 1: time with our children, and that's what we do. We
Speaker 1: influence our kids' lives. We influence it with the light
Speaker 1: of Jesus. I said the word light a lot today.
Speaker 1: I say the word light because the mask covers it
Speaker 1: all up. I don't want you, guys to cover up
Speaker 1: your faces no more. I want you to cover up
Speaker 1: what your world truly is. Let it shine. You ever,
Speaker 1: think if you show your broken side, that somebody might
Speaker 1: be listening and want to help you get back together again.
Speaker 1: Think about that. You may be broken inside, but there
Speaker 1: might be somebody. If you let your guard down, take
Speaker 1: your mask off, somebody is ready to put you back
Speaker 1: together again. That person's Jesus. He's waiting for you. He's
Speaker 1: calling for you. He's always like knocking. Sometimes the knock
Speaker 1: is really light, it's really light. Then it gets louder
Speaker 1: and he's like, hi, McFly. Let me in one of
Speaker 1: our favorite phrases around here. I had to shed this
Speaker 1: humility pretty quick. And if you can shed that's ego.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can shed that ego pretty quick,
Speaker 1: humility sets in. And when humility sets in, that mask
Speaker 1: will come off. I'm at that point in my life. Yes,
Speaker 1: I may be an older guy, I may be one
Speaker 1: with knowledge and white hairs of wisdom in my face.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Sometimes I get caught up in
Speaker 1: masks because the world wants us behind one. Why do
Speaker 1: you think that is? That's because the opposition knows what's
Speaker 1: in you. The opposition knows what's in you. So what
Speaker 1: does the Bible say about masks, Well, it says masks
Speaker 1: about religious masks, like people who put on fake masks
Speaker 1: at church. There's a lot of people that do it.
Speaker 1: You see it every week. I'm blessed and highly favored. Hey,
Speaker 1: how you doing. I'm fantastic. Man, just got a new car.
Speaker 1: I've been working.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: The Lord is great. While he's trying to pay for
Speaker 1: that car. That's nine hundred dollars a month. But he
Speaker 1: doesn't make that much money and he's slowly dying. Inside
Speaker 1: church people do it too, Followers of Christ do it daily.
Speaker 1: But if we obey and follow the Lord, the patterns
Speaker 1: of this world will change. It just will happen. Saw
Speaker 1: a great picture on TikTok on somebody's lives, so shout
Speaker 1: out to them. They put a picture up. There is
Speaker 1: a red line. It looks like lava that people are
Speaker 1: walking along this lava river, and there's a lot of
Speaker 1: them in overhead it says people who follow God. Then
Speaker 1: on the other side there's maybe about ten people in
Speaker 1: blue following like a blue river, And these are the
Speaker 1: people who obey God. Do you follow or obey God?
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't do either. Right now, when you're hanging
Speaker 1: on to that rock to climb up to get to
Speaker 1: that position, this is your moment. This is your moment
Speaker 1: right now. This is you climbing up that rock. The
Speaker 1: Bible doesn't say much about masks spiritually, however, there is
Speaker 1: a couple good versus about shame, regret, denial, and the
Speaker 1: Book of Romans pretty much kind of sums it up.
Speaker 1: Chapter nine, verse thirty three says some things, and so
Speaker 1: does Romans eight one. Let's read a little bit. So
Speaker 1: now there is no condemnation for those who belong to
Speaker 1: the Christ Jesus. Then it goes on saying in chapter nine,
Speaker 1: verse thirty three, whoever believes in him will not be
Speaker 1: put to shame. The reason why I said these verses
Speaker 1: here is because shame is a form of mask. We're
Speaker 1: a shamed to be the person that the Lord has
Speaker 1: made us, or God has made us to be, and
Speaker 1: where the Lord is trying to lead us. We're ashamed
Speaker 1: of the world that we are in. We want to
Speaker 1: be like those people over there. We want to be
Speaker 1: like that person right there. But when you become the
Speaker 1: person that God meant you to be, your world is
Speaker 1: set on fire, not just for yourself, not just for others,
Speaker 1: but for the Lord, which is an amazing feeling. Again,
Speaker 1: Romans eight one says, so now there is no condemnation
Speaker 1: for those who belong to Jesus Christ. You shall not
Speaker 1: be condemned, You shall not feel shame. You shouldn't feel
Speaker 1: like you have to keep up with the Joneses. Rest
Speaker 1: your laurels today. On Romans eight one, if there's anything
Speaker 1: you take out of this program today Romans eight one,
Speaker 1: Romans eight one, and for us broadcasting on at podcaster
Speaker 1: Katie on TikTok. Right now, we'll put those verses in
Speaker 1: the chat with our after show. So now there is
Speaker 1: no condemnation for those who belong in Christ Jesus. This
Speaker 1: is how I feel, ever since turning my life over
Speaker 1: to the Lord. I don't care what people think. I
Speaker 1: don't when I was a stand up comic, I cared
Speaker 1: about everything anybody thought because I didn't want to upset anybody.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to do this. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: do that because I wanted to keep the numbers and
Speaker 1: keep the fans. I don't care about that no more.
Speaker 1: I care about the one that may be watching, the
Speaker 1: one that may be listening, the one that needs to
Speaker 1: hear it, that may be you today Romans eight one.
Speaker 1: So now there is no condemnation for those who belong
Speaker 1: to Jesus, don't. I don't feel any condemnation. I don't
Speaker 1: need to act a certain way. Even when you're new
Speaker 1: in church, sometimes you'll put on that mask. Right, I've
Speaker 1: done this before too. I'll call out church people. Maybe
Speaker 1: you go into that new small group where you're learning
Speaker 1: about a section of the Bible, say the Book of Romans.
Speaker 1: So you'll read a little bit on Romans. You'll just
Speaker 1: kind of cliff note version it. You'll break it down
Speaker 1: just so you know enough, and you'll put that mask
Speaker 1: on and you'll be the first one to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know Romans nine thirty three. Hey, Romans this and
Speaker 1: this says that. So you look like you're somebody in
Speaker 1: front of these people. I've done that quick testimony when
Speaker 1: I was a stand up comic and I was just
Speaker 1: coming to Christ and I found a really good church.
Speaker 1: It's called Thrive Church in Chesterfield, Virginia. Big shout out
Speaker 1: to you guys. Pastor Kevin Bordeaux and Pastor Mark Thomas.
Speaker 1: I love them to this day. There are my brother's
Speaker 1: in Christ and they knew me. They knew me, and
Speaker 1: I was always the one that was like, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've got a couple shows this week. I can't wait
Speaker 1: to go do them. God is great, God is blessing me. Man.
Speaker 1: I'm going out on the road. I'm going out for
Speaker 1: two weeks. I'm heading to California. But I didn't realize
Speaker 1: I'm being separated from my family. I'm being thrown into
Speaker 1: a different life, and that's not what God wants. See,
Speaker 1: the devil wants to divide, corrupt, conquer, that's what he
Speaker 1: was doing. But my brothers in Christ didn't want to
Speaker 1: say that to me. They would just give me the
Speaker 1: look like a big brother would like that's good. Okay,
Speaker 1: Oh so you're now following the Lord. Oh okay, that's
Speaker 1: what the look looked like. But I was putting this
Speaker 1: mask on, like, Hey, I'm this big time comedian coming
Speaker 1: to your church. But I wasn't. Eventually, when I dropped
Speaker 1: that ego in humility came through. It's the person I
Speaker 1: am today, trying to chef the light of Jesus and
Speaker 1: really living on Romans eight one right there. But what
Speaker 1: does the Bible say about our God is a gape
Speaker 1: love toward us. We shared this on a live on
Speaker 1: our TikTok as. We're doing something called the thirty Day
Speaker 1: Spiritual boot Camp, and we were reading in one of
Speaker 1: our boot camps. We were talking about how great God's
Speaker 1: love is for us. See, we're worrying about the world.
Speaker 1: We're worrying about what mass to put on, what dress
Speaker 1: to put on, what outfit to put on, what career
Speaker 1: to put on? You know, how much money do we
Speaker 1: put in our bank account? We worry about that because
Speaker 1: we want the love of people. I'm a guy of affirmation.
Speaker 1: I like affirmation. I'm like when my wife says, hey,
Speaker 1: you did a great job today, house looks great, Hey,
Speaker 1: dinner was good. Hey, you're being a really good leader.
Speaker 1: I want to take that back for a bit. I
Speaker 1: was trying to get her affirmation on the things of
Speaker 1: this world. I was miserable. Now that she gives me affirmation, Hey,
Speaker 1: you're being a great spiritual leader in this home. You're
Speaker 1: just a completely changed person. You're the husband that I
Speaker 1: always wanted. That affirmation is also affirmation from the Lord
Speaker 1: being given to her to give to me through grace,
Speaker 1: because he knows the relationship I have with my wife.
Speaker 1: I'm an affirmation guy, right, So why don't we go
Speaker 1: after the affirmation and the love of the Lord. Lamentations
Speaker 1: Chapter three, verse twenty two through twenty three says this,
Speaker 1: the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies
Speaker 1: never come to an end. They are new every morning.
Speaker 1: Great is your faithfulness. We hear that in a lot
Speaker 1: of Christian songs, let's read that again. Instead of chasing
Speaker 1: the masks of this world and the love and the
Speaker 1: affirmation of others social media, calling you out, going on
Speaker 1: social media, trying to get those clicks, trying to do this,
Speaker 1: Oh please watch me today, please do this. And then
Speaker 1: I don't do that to try to get millions of
Speaker 1: viewers or followers. I do it for the one that
Speaker 1: needs to hear the Lord's word that moment. That's why
Speaker 1: I do it. But you've got these other people battle me.
Speaker 1: I'm better than you. I watch this one person on
Speaker 1: TikTok the other day, and that's the great thing about
Speaker 1: this podcast. By the way, I'm all over the place.
Speaker 1: If this is your first time joining. I watched a
Speaker 1: person the other day. I was supporting a friend, sent
Speaker 1: them like a rose or something in their chat and
Speaker 1: their live and then the other person comes on. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: these are broke boys. You ain't gonna do that again. Uh,
Speaker 1: why don't you send a galaxy? Why don't you send this,
Speaker 1: Why don't you send that money? Prostitution? I said it,
Speaker 1: it's prostitution. You're selling yourselves. You're selling yourselves for the
Speaker 1: waves of the world, and you put on a mask,
Speaker 1: and behind closed doors, you're probably miserable and you're hurting.
Speaker 1: Your bank account may be full, but your faith and
Speaker 1: your spirit is low. I would rather be rich in
Speaker 1: favor in faith than have richness in life when it
Speaker 1: comes to bank and money. Is it nice to pay
Speaker 1: the bills? Absolutely? Is it nice to have a little
Speaker 1: extra wonderful Thank you Jesus for that. And if he
Speaker 1: wants to give us more, he will give us more
Speaker 1: if we can handle it. The crazy thing is, I'm
Speaker 1: tired of seeing people on social media, especially TikTok. TikTok
Speaker 1: right now is absolutely deplorable watching these battles and these
Speaker 1: young women who you could see that are they're better
Speaker 1: than that. The light of Jesus is in them. The
Speaker 1: light of Jesus is in you. But instead you want
Speaker 1: affirmation from the people that are trying to watch you. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm in the top five, I got more million people
Speaker 1: watching me now. Yeah, I'm the next Logan Paul, I'm
Speaker 1: the next so and so. But they're so broken faith.
Speaker 1: And that's what I say in the chat, I said,
Speaker 1: I'm not broken faith. That's all that matters. Jesus will
Speaker 1: provide for me. Jehovah Jirah, you are enough. They didn't
Speaker 1: say anything when you say the name of Jesus. Wow.
Speaker 1: Amazing Lamentations Chapter three, verse twenty two through twenty three
Speaker 1: go after the affirmation of God. The steadfast love of
Speaker 1: the Lord never ceases. His mercies never end. They are
Speaker 1: new every morning. You ever get a fight with your
Speaker 1: wife or your significant other friend and you go to
Speaker 1: bed angry. In the next morning, they wake up, they're
Speaker 1: a different person at times, and you're like, whoa, how
Speaker 1: that happened? The Lord does this every day for us.
Speaker 1: We sin and fall short of the glory of God,
Speaker 1: and He wakes up every morning going, I love you.
Speaker 1: Come here, arms wide open, a gape love. They are
Speaker 1: new every morning, and great is your faithfulness? How fantastic
Speaker 1: is that? That is just wonderful. And we've gone a
Speaker 1: little bit longer here today on the show, you get
Speaker 1: a little bonus episode because here next week on the show,
Speaker 1: the last week of October, we are going to take
Speaker 1: a break. We'll be back in the month of November
Speaker 1: and we're going to start our thirty day spiritual boot
Speaker 1: camp with you guys. Every day during the week, we
Speaker 1: are going to be having a spiritual boot Camp. We're
Speaker 1: going to be reading from that book, Thirty Day Spiritual
Speaker 1: boot Camp by the Graham's Franklin and Billy Graham. It's
Speaker 1: great book. Right now, if you want to get ahead
Speaker 1: of the game, you can follow us on at podcaster
Speaker 1: Katie on TikTok. We'll be doing videos over there and more.
Speaker 1: But I said we have something for you. Didn't I
Speaker 1: had something for you? I'd something for our listeners. Right
Speaker 1: Maybe you're a non believer, maybe you're someone battling with faith.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're on the verge too sure, maybe you're an
Speaker 1: atheist and you actually stuck around for thirty seven minutes
Speaker 1: of this program. Well, right now, at the end of
Speaker 1: the show, we always like to give our listeners a
Speaker 1: little something. And it's not from us here let's get
Speaker 1: biblical with Katie, but it is from the Lord. Stop
Speaker 1: with the masks, take these masks off, allow the light
Speaker 1: of the Lord to shine from within you to the
Speaker 1: rest of the world. He's waiting on you, he's calling you,
Speaker 1: and this may be that moment right now. For those
Speaker 1: of you that may be watching on TikTok, for those
Speaker 1: of you that may be listening on the podcast here
Speaker 1: on the other end. If you have not turned your
Speaker 1: life over to Christ, this may be that calling right now.
Speaker 1: We ask for you to go into a safe place.
Speaker 1: If you're driving and listening to those please do not
Speaker 1: go into prayer. We don't need you to close your
Speaker 1: eyes and meet the Lord a little too soon, if
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We want you to just
Speaker 1: go find some quiet space, because He says, come to
Speaker 1: me in prayer, in quiet times, and he will himself
Speaker 1: to you. He will. He does it to me all
Speaker 1: the time. Call me cuckoo, cuckoo for Christ. That's what
Speaker 1: I'll say instead of cocoa puffs. But at this moment,
Speaker 1: I want to pray with you. You just say these words.
Speaker 1: There's nothing crazy about it, there's nothing magical about it.
Speaker 1: But just close your eyes for a moment, take a
Speaker 1: deep breath, open up your hands, don't worry nothing. It's
Speaker 1: crazy as gonna happen, But maybe it will. I know
Speaker 1: it will, because Christ is calling for you right now.
Speaker 1: Just repeat after me, Dear God, I'm a sinner. I
Speaker 1: sin daily, and I fall short of the glory of God.
Speaker 1: I'm tired of being a sinner. I'm tired of leading
Speaker 1: a life that the world wants me to lead. Dear Lord,
Speaker 1: wash me of my ends. I believe you were born,
Speaker 1: you had died, and you raised again on the third
Speaker 1: day for your victory and mine. Dear Lord, allow me
Speaker 1: to turn over my life to you and follow you
Speaker 1: until the end of my days. Make my crooked path straight.
Speaker 1: Dear Lord, wash me clean, make me born again. Thank
Speaker 1: you Jesus, I love you, and amen for those of
Speaker 1: you that repeated that prayer. Welcome You're a part of
Speaker 1: the family. Now congratulations. Where do you start, well, I
Speaker 1: always like to say to the Book of Proverbs. It's
Speaker 1: pretty easy place to start with the Bible. Just think
Speaker 1: of them as little fortune cookies without the winning lottery numbers.
Speaker 1: Read that every day there's thirty one chapters for third
Speaker 1: one or thirty days, usually in a month. Read the books,
Speaker 1: the Synoptic Gospels. They call them of Matthew, Mark, Luke,
Speaker 1: and John. These are the guys that knew Jesus, that
Speaker 1: walked with Jesus, the ones that really studied Jesus. Go
Speaker 1: ahead and move into the Book of Acts and see
Speaker 1: how the Word is continuing to move today in this world.
Speaker 1: For Jesus. Learn about our brother. Paul wrote over a
Speaker 1: third of the New Testament. Read through revelation and realize
Speaker 1: that he's returning. We used to tell you, don't read it.
Speaker 1: It's a little scary at first, but pray daily over
Speaker 1: your readings, come to him in quiet times, and your
Speaker 1: relationship will be built relationship, not a religion. Something we'd
Speaker 1: be leaeve in here on the show. Thank you guys
Speaker 1: for watching, Thank you guys for listening. For those of
Speaker 1: you on TikTok right now, we will have an after
Speaker 1: show around for those of you on the podcast land
Speaker 1: start to fade it out a little bit, but increase
Speaker 1: that light in your life. We love you, guys. We'll
Speaker 1: see you on the flip side. Big month of November coming,
Speaker 1: big changes in twenty twenty six testimonies, people doing great
Speaker 1: things for the Lord. We will have all that here on.
Speaker 1: Let's get biblical. We have been blessed to walk in
Speaker 1: the light of the Lord, and we are blessed to
Speaker 1: have you with us. God bless y'all. Take care
