1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Welcome to the three stories version of this Todd Herman Show. 2 00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:07,879 Story number one, did someone say Kings? Story number two 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,640 the in selling of fiction, and story number three, God 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,079 made brains changeable. Praise God. We'll talk about this with 5 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,879 the help of Bisible. Let go bisible dot com and 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,079 of course through God Almighty. 7 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,679 Speaker 2: But Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:35,799 big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the hind mountains 9 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:43,840 of Free American Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman. 10 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made in These 11 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,840 are the times to which God has decided we shall live. 12 00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:57,880 Does someone say Kings? I think the same people who 13 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,079 said no Kings are the same people who liked this 14 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,400 image of figurehead Biden, who was sent onto a stage 15 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,319 in the most Orwellian of colors that you could produce, 16 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,239 in the darkest way you could produce, given a dark 17 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,959 speech to read threats to make against mega Americans and 18 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,159 people who didn't take this or that medical treatment. And 19 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,480 he screamed his way through the speech, reading it from 20 00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:26,120 teleprompters with a black and red background, meant to be foreboding. 21 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,560 And they tried that dark Biden thing, remember that, and 22 00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:35,840 it took off in the wrong way, but man, it 23 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,879 was kingly. The people who are saying no kings are 24 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,840 people who back, of course Bernie Sanders, because there's nothing 25 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,439 king like about Bernie Sanders. 26 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,519 Speaker 3: Three residences. 27 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, they ask him, do you have three houses? And 28 00:01:50,599 --> 00:01:53,239 here's what Bernie Sanders said. The question was do I 29 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,239 have three houses? 30 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,719 Speaker 3: Do I live here in Browlington, Vermont. We live in 31 00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:02,920 a middle class theghbood nice house. Guess what. I'm the 32 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000 United States Senator and I own a home in Washington, 33 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,319 d C. As do most centers. You know, you live 34 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,680 there a year after year. When I first went to 35 00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:12,680 actually when I was in Congress for sixteen years, I 36 00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:15,039 rented all the time. But I got elected. Okay, you 37 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,599 got a six year term. You know what, Let's buy 38 00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:18,960 a house. So we wought a house. And guess what, 39 00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:22,039 Like many thousands of people in the state of Vermont, 40 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,120 I have a summer camp. It's a nice one on 41 00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:24,919 Lake Champlain. 42 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: This is this is that's it. That's it. Because most 43 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,719 Americans have three houses. Americans who have three houses generally 44 00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:38,520 provide some value for the three houses in exchange for 45 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,479 getting the money to be able to afford the three houses. 46 00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:45,199 Bertie Sanders' wife, with his help, bankrupted a college, literally 47 00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:48,719 bankrupted a college. And the reward of three houses. He 48 00:02:48,759 --> 00:02:50,800 has never produced a thing. He's never sold a thing. 49 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,520 I guess he sold a book kind of but providing value. 50 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:02,960 Bertie Sanders cannot have a paycheck without the force of taxation. 51 00:03:03,479 --> 00:03:06,280 And the last time they looked at his net worth 52 00:03:06,759 --> 00:03:09,319 he was ranked loan the Senate sixty seventh. At least 53 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,400 this is from Open Secrets twenty eighteen. They claims he's 54 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,479 a net worth of five hundred and thirteen thousand, five 55 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,599 hundred and thirteen dollars in twenty eighteen. But he owns 56 00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:21,639 three houses. He must have no equity in the houses 57 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,439 at all. He must have made no payments on those houses, 58 00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:29,919 because one house in Washington, DC is worth a lot 59 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,000 more than five hundred and thirteen thousand dollars, and a 60 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,479 cabin in Vermont, not to mention his full time residence. 61 00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:40,000 I don't think those numbers are right. The hallmark of 62 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:46,560 kings are taking from others by force, having more than 63 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,039 the people over whom they rule when it's taken by force. 64 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,479 And there's other examples of this. I mean, there's some 65 00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:55,560 really easy ones we can use. I'll give you really 66 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,199 easy one in a second. Then there are the ones 67 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,360 that are less obvious unless you're kind of obsessive about 68 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,919 what God told us what kings would do. Kings, he 69 00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:08,960 said through the prophet Samuel, will take your sons and daughters, 70 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,400 your daughters for concubines, your sons for the armies. They'll 71 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,680 take wine from your vineyards and the grapes and make 72 00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:18,199 them their own. They'll take your livestock and make them 73 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,560 their own. Whereas God Almighty simply asks that you give 74 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,199 ten percent back through tithing, he gave it to you. 75 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,160 He's asking for some of it back. But guess what, 76 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,680 Usually he won't take it from you. Kings will. So 77 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,399 there's major kings we'll talk about, and then minor kings. 78 00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:37,800 But all of them are saying no kings. Everyone who's 79 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,839 a minor king or even a major king is saying 80 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,920 no kings. Meaning, of course they don't mean that a bit. Now, 81 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,360 it's our job to make sure that we keep track 82 00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:48,759 of what people mean, and we can compare that by 83 00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:52,120 what people do. Do they align do what they say? 84 00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:55,279 Just what they say align with what they do you 85 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,439 can take that with companies with whom you partner. For instance, 86 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,560 one of my key partners is b Optimizers. Now that 87 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,519 spent about three years since we've partnered with them. And 88 00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:07,759 here's what I know. They do what they say. And 89 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,360 this is in fact provable by the fact that both 90 00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:13,600 Matt and Wade us their products. They give their products 91 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,639 to their families, including in the case of Wade, his 92 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,480 infant son uses Bioptimizer's products to make sure that he 93 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,279 gets the most out of the breast milk that his 94 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,600 mother feeds him with. There's a product there that I 95 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,279 had not used because I arrogantly thought, well, I couldn't 96 00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:30,120 possibly need this. In fact, I remember when they sent 97 00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:32,600 this to me. I got in touch with the sales 98 00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:34,120 rep and said, hey, you know what, I probably don't 99 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,399 need this. I don't want to waste your money. How 100 00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:37,120 about if I send it back? No, you just hold 101 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,360 on to it. It was called Berbering Breakthrough and it 102 00:05:40,439 --> 00:05:43,040 sat right there with my Boptimizer's products at home, and 103 00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:46,240 I thought, they're thinking, arrogantly, I don't need that. Then 104 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,360 it went and got my quarterly check of my hormones 105 00:05:49,399 --> 00:05:54,759 and my doc said, you have insulin resistance. What that's crazy. 106 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,000 I drink like three hundred and sixty four hundred ounces 107 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,879 of water a day, fifty five percent protein, diets locked, 108 00:06:00,879 --> 00:06:03,279 my exercise is locked, and at like nine point nine 109 00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:07,160 percent body fat, that's impossible. Well, it's not impossible because 110 00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:09,000 you probably don't eat enough plants, you probably don't have 111 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,639 enough fiber. So you're making yourself a pre diabetic. Now 112 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,720 that's me. Then my younger friend twenty years younger than me, 113 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,040 better shape, better person than me, he has it too, 114 00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:21,959 insulin resistance. So I thought about that free bottle. In fact, 115 00:06:21,959 --> 00:06:24,399 I had it with me. I showed it to Jen, 116 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,240 my doc. Jen looked at this and she said, you 117 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,319 know what, I'll do more research, but this looks really good. 118 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,000 She did the research and turned out the Burbering breakthrough 119 00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:36,319 is fantastic for keeping you from being a diabetic. Essentially, 120 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,439 it supports blood sugar intake into muscles instead of fat. 121 00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:45,560 It enhances the enhances the metabolism of carbohydrates. It supports 122 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,360 weight Loft's efforts in combination with diet exercise. It neutralizes 123 00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:54,399 oxidative damage from high blood glucose, and it also increases 124 00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:59,439 the miochondrial uncoupling, which burns more calaries as heat. I'm 125 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,399 taking this now with every meal. It's two pills with 126 00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:04,920 every meal. You can do the same thing and maybe 127 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,040 prevents yourself from becoming a type two diabetic.

It's called Burberine Breakthrough. 133 00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:27,199 One of the major Kings people should remember is the 134 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,199 dictator of the separate country of Washington, j Insley. Do 135 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,079 you remember how long Washington State was shut down because 136 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,759 of one man? Nine hundred and seventy five days. Do 137 00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:44,959 you remember who was not shut down? Buses, government agencies. 138 00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:50,000 Jay Insley's apparent skate ski vacation was not shut down 139 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,720 because kings don't shut down. Now, small business owners lost 140 00:07:54,759 --> 00:07:57,120 their source of income. I remember that he went after 141 00:07:57,279 --> 00:08:00,480 a barber who was a retired marine. I mean he's 142 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,800 still a marine, but not active duty. He was eighty 143 00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:06,079 years old. I Remember they shut his business down, took 144 00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:07,800 away the way he earned a living, but no one 145 00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:11,639 and government lost their livings. That's king like, But he 146 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,439 was a major king, Jay Insley. He's now comfortably retired, 147 00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:19,560 continuing to take money from people by force. Randy Weingarten 148 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,160 takes money by people from people by force. She's one 149 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,319 of the boss ladies of one of the big so 150 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,560 called school unions or teachers unions. Really what they are 151 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,759 is just another form of big labor. She likes to 152 00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:35,600 talk about no kings or the from Uri. 153 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 4: To this president's chaos, and together we build a future 154 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,960 of opportunity and justice for all. Home over fear, aspiration 155 00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:55,480 over anger, the promise of America, for each and every American. 156 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,519 That is what we are fighting for today. 157 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: That woman jumping up in down, and by the way, 158 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,799 barely getting any arro, I would say. And the jumping 159 00:09:02,879 --> 00:09:08,120 up and down is reading. She feels that so deeply 160 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,600 in her soul that she has to read a statement 161 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,639 like that at a no King's rally. Randy Winingarten gets 162 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:22,559 her salary by force from teachers. In most states, teachers 163 00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:25,080 still have trouble leaving the unions. Even though the Supreme 164 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,120 Court said they cannot force you to be part of 165 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,960 the union. There are still teachers who believe they have 166 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,080 to be part of the union. Her net worth is 167 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,159 different than teachers net worth. She has an estimated net 168 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,159 worth of around four million dollars. That's from twenty twenty four. 169 00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:41,799 Her salary is about five hundred thousand a year and 170 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,879 that adds up now to a four million dollar net worth. 171 00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:49,480 And incidentally, why was Randy Winingarten going to Ukraine Teachers Union? 172 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,399 She says she visited Ukraine to meet with students and teachers. 173 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,279 This visit underscored her belief in the power of education, 174 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,960 in the importance of supporting educators in the students worldwide, 175 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,879 even in the face of adversity. That doesn't explain anything. 176 00:10:04,639 --> 00:10:08,159 Her union doesn't represent anybody in Ukraine. So did someone 177 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:14,600 say Kings. One of the hallmarks of Kings is they're capricious. 178 00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:19,279 The Great Mark Stein said, tyranny is always capricious in 179 00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:23,840 a nation that pushes fast food, an upside down food pyramid, 180 00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:27,840 disgusting additives to foods, things that aren't foods, that is 181 00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:30,080 pushing fake meats to the point of making it illegal 182 00:10:30,159 --> 00:10:34,759 to purchase real meats, effectively ratchet ratchet up the costs, 183 00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:36,799 making it hard to get to driving up the costs 184 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,039 of eggs, et cetera. By eliminating egg birds. That same 185 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:47,919 government is going after Amish farmers who have zero complaints 186 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,159 about their farms. Did someone say Kings. 187 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 5: Is anonomous farmer, Amos Miller who was under attack by 188 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,440 the state and federal government on a regular basis, a 189 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,759 fifth generation dairy farmer from Lancaster County, the heart of 190 00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:05,519 Amish country, the heart of dairy country. I mean you 191 00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:08,200 can see it portrayed movies like Witness. I mean, there 192 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,559 are some of the sweetest, nicest people in the world, 193 00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:14,159 and yet all of a sudden, every government agency is 194 00:11:14,159 --> 00:11:16,440 trying to shut him down. Every government agency is trying 195 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,080 to take away his farm. Every government agency is trying 196 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,360 to foreclose on him. Every government agency is sending emails 197 00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:24,879 back and forth with images of him and handcuffs and 198 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,159 in prison. And it's like, even though no customer of 199 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,000 his has ever complained in twenty five years about a 200 00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:34,879 single food product he has ever made or distributed, and 201 00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:37,120 it's like why. And I was explaining to this big 202 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,080 group of Amish, It's like, here, you're going to get 203 00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:43,960 more of this, because if your Bill Gates and in 204 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,399 the Bill Gates is of the world, and you believe 205 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,279 in that dystopian control grid, the four sort of vectors 206 00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:57,360 for it is food control, financial control, medical control, political control, 207 00:11:57,399 --> 00:12:00,840 speech control. It's not a coincidence that Bill Gates has 208 00:12:00,879 --> 00:12:04,360 massive investments in all four vectors, both in the public 209 00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:08,600 sector and the private sector. Extraordinary that way, I was like, 210 00:12:08,759 --> 00:12:12,000 if you want everybody to be pushed into that control grid, 211 00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:16,080 how do you avoid the exit ramps? And who is 212 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,519 the exit ramp? And who is the exit ramp too? Well, 213 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,759 you have a control group that says, what would life 214 00:12:21,799 --> 00:12:24,600 be like if you were not in the Bill Gates 215 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,799 dystopian control grid, if you were outside of big food, 216 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,440 big freedom, a big food, big pharma, big tech, big media, 217 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,399 all of it. Well, it's the amasher the living examples 218 00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:40,039 of that. They don't use technology, mostly don't use any pharmaceuticals. 219 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,840 They grow their own food, eat their own food, their 220 00:12:42,919 --> 00:12:47,480 kids go to their own homeschooled systems, they stay within 221 00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:53,279 their own church. They're not part of popular local culture. Consequently, well, 222 00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:56,919 what's happening with them in the last twenty five years. Well, 223 00:12:57,159 --> 00:13:00,159 while we've had an explosion of chronic disease in the 224 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,080 United States in the West during this big form of 225 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,120 big food big tech era, not only food, not only 226 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,120 metaphysical but emotional. 227 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 6: Did someone say, kings no complaints about his food, which 228 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,919 includes by the way, Rod Jerry, not a single customer complaint, 229 00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:20,919 and yet he must be shut down, he must be destroyed. 230 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: Go back to the COVID air. In the lockdowner, we 231 00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:26,720 talked about Jay Insley, the King of Washington State at 232 00:13:26,759 --> 00:13:29,120 the time, the dictator nine hundred and seventy five days 233 00:13:29,159 --> 00:13:32,279 of lockdown. Gavin Newsom was just a little bit behind 234 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,320 Jay Insley in that. Then there was that famous incident 235 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,200 where the King of California, the dictator during the lockdown period, 236 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,000 decided to host a massive and expensive dinner at a 237 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,440 restaurant he the king owns called the French Laundry, and 238 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,399 people obtained footage of him at that event with no masks. 239 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,440 That same guy who gave that interview about people masking 240 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,759 and getting injected went and had a something like fifteen 241 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,960 hundred dollars per plate experience at the French Laundry, no doubt, 242 00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:04,480 including some of the wines that Gavin Newsom's Kingly Company 243 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:10,600 creates or Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco, a relative by 244 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,679 the way of Gavin Newsom. You remember the incident of 245 00:14:14,759 --> 00:14:17,840 Pelosi talking about her thirteen dollars per pint ice cream 246 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,320 and a twenty four thousand dollar refrigerator and her net 247 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:27,519 worth of one hundred and forty million dollars kinglike you 248 00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:31,120 remember that she got in her hair blowdry during the 249 00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:33,720 time of the lockdown. She got a blowout. It's called 250 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,240 no masks, And the owner of that salon was brave 251 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,519 enough to show the footage to the rest of the 252 00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:44,279 country because Queen Pelosi was acting like Queen Pelosi. So 253 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:49,320 did someone say no kings? Yes, God did. God warned us. 254 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,519 He warned the Jewish people through Samuel, Please please please 255 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,279 remind them that they can have me as a king. 256 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,600 But nope, we wanted to be popular, We wanted to 257 00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:02,919 be like oh, all the other nations, so we chose 258 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,039 this stuff for ourselves. May God forgive us, and may 259 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,759 remember that there was only one actual king, Jesus Christ, 260 00:15:09,919 --> 00:15:14,360 King of All Story number two. Do you know what 261 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,559 in cell means? Some people don't know what it means. 262 00:15:17,559 --> 00:15:24,919 It means involuntarily without sex. Celibate, involuntarily celibate, and that 263 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,519 was the original meeting. It was guys who couldn't hook up, 264 00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:29,759 couldn't find a girlfriend, couldn't find a wife, although I 265 00:15:29,799 --> 00:15:32,639 think wife was way down the list. It has taken 266 00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:36,639 on a larger meeting. It's young men usually who are 267 00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:39,639 off by themselves socially awkward, to the point that they 268 00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:44,840 don't even try any longer, prefer digital interactions above all interactions. 269 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,519 If they never have to see people in real life, 270 00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:49,559 they don't want to see people in real life. And 271 00:15:49,639 --> 00:15:52,840 it has created a whole wave of young men who 272 00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:56,679 have changed in the way that not just interactions interpersonally, 273 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,480 but in terms of how they choose to engage in 274 00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:01,879 storytelling and the sort of stories to which they'll listen. 275 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,080 And in response to this, Hollywood's even over in the 276 00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:09,840 UK's version of Hollywood, they want to show in cells 277 00:16:10,799 --> 00:16:14,080 entertainment from an in cell perspective. There's a show in 278 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:19,120 the UK that's actually required viewing in schools and it 279 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,159 was loosely based off of a terrible, terrible crime that 280 00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:27,720 occurred in the UK by an immigrant of a certain well, 281 00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:32,639 let's say, from a certain location in the world. Changed 282 00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:37,759 to a native citizen of the UK from that location 283 00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:42,159 in the world and sort of colored differently, if you 284 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,440 know what I mean. So in selling of fiction, what 285 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,919 would that mean. It means that young men can no 286 00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:53,960 longer consume fiction in the way that you or I might. 287 00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:57,399 And it's very very important to track this because this 288 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,840 can mean a huge destabilization of the world. It's another 289 00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:03,360 thing though, that it's a reason that young men have 290 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,119 trouble enjoying the Bible because the way the Bible is written. 291 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,720 And I'll show this to you in a second. Now, 292 00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:12,039 if you're not adolescent of adolescent age and you have 293 00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:14,160 a retirement age, let's say you're five or ten or 294 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,440 fifteen years from retirement. These stories about in cells and 295 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,880 about in cell fiction and about pushing this storyline back 296 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,519 to those young people. This has an effect in a retirement, 297 00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:27,480 believe it or not, because their form of destabilization is 298 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,680 going to lead to a destabilization of markets. So if 299 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,880 you're five, ten, fifteen years from retirement, you have this coming. Meanwhile, 300 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,920 are we going to warworth Iran? What's that going to 301 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,200 do to energy prices? Right now? Oil prices are sinking? 302 00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:43,519 Is that a by signal? My friend, Zach Abraham, chief 303 00:17:43,559 --> 00:17:47,680 investment Officer Capital Management, is obsessed with one particular thing 304 00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:52,200 in managing money, and that is risk management. Zach does 305 00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:56,720 this by actively managing every single portfolio. So why don't 306 00:17:56,759 --> 00:17:58,319 you do this? Why don't you take him up on 307 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,400 an offer to have your own? This is Department of 308 00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:06,759 Retirement efficiency, or maybe say it door. Zach Abraham will 309 00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:08,799 get with you on a video call. He'll meet with 310 00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:10,559 you and your spouse in person, or if it's just 311 00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:12,799 you and the case in that case, he'll do a 312 00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:15,880 phone call with you. He will do this in three steps. 313 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,640 First meeting is chat with Zach to see if you 314 00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:21,000 like him. If he likes you, why would you have 315 00:18:21,079 --> 00:18:24,240 someone manage your money if you don't like them. Second 316 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,920 call is really about understanding your goals and your risk 317 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,720 tolerance and how long you have to retire, going through 318 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,480 your assets, your home, your equity, what you've saved, what 319 00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:34,200 you haven't saved, Are you working? Do you want to 320 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,359 continue to work? And on that third meeting, Zach and 321 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,000 his team will give you a proposal. Now the proposal 322 00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:45,279 might be this, stay where you're at, don't come to us, 323 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,359 You're well managed, don't make any changes because that would 324 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,519 be risky. That happens a lot. It might be that 325 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:54,960 the proposal is, here's how we think we can save 326 00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:58,519 you costs, here's how we can save you fees, here's 327 00:18:58,559 --> 00:19:01,119 how we can make you manage better for risk, and 328 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,440 here's how we can help you take advantage of things 329 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:08,319 like volatility. All these options they're free. At no point 330 00:19:08,319 --> 00:19:10,279 do you pay for these three meetings. All of it's 331 00:19:10,319 --> 00:19:14,559 free education. So go to Know Your Risk podcast dot com. 332 00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:18,279 That's Know Your Risk podcast dot com and take zac 333 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,680 up on this free, no obligation offer. Investment Advisor's services 334 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,839 offer to detract financial lc and sec. He reads from 335 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,880 Investment Advisor. Investments involve risk and are not guaranteed. Past 336 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,079 performance doesn't guarantee future results. Truck twenty five Dash two 337 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:35,720 one seven. There's a dad who just about well, he's 338 00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:39,039 lost his kids, not not fully lost, but he lost 339 00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:43,240 them through the madness of gender confusion. And he's taken 340 00:19:43,279 --> 00:19:46,720 to Twitter and he's become pretty proficient there. He read 341 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,160 an extract of something that literary agents are writing about 342 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,480 kids and young men and how young readers, young boys, teens, 343 00:19:54,839 --> 00:19:59,119 how they consume fiction. They can't read third person omniscient 344 00:19:59,279 --> 00:20:03,920 views novels. They want first person, and this is some 345 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,119 of the reasons why young readers struggle with third person 346 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,079 omnissions and publishers see it clearly a voice that knows 347 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,400 too much, moves too freely, speaks with judgment, feels alien. 348 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,119 Readers call it confusing or even arrogant, but the root 349 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,119 cause is deeper. They weren't trained to read that mind, 350 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,279 that kind of mind in school. The research paper is vanished. 351 00:20:22,319 --> 00:20:25,599 The essay took its place, not the old essay of Montaigne, 352 00:20:25,839 --> 00:20:28,880 but the modern essay that is personal, expressive, and narrow. 353 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,920 The essay says, write what you feel, stay in your lane, 354 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,079 don't presume to speak for others. But omniscient narration does 355 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,079 speak for others. It sees broadly, It interprets it, it compares, 356 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,559 it dares to suggest what people think, even when they 357 00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:45,240 don't say it. The research paper taught students to gather 358 00:20:45,319 --> 00:20:49,160 knowledge outside themselves, way perspectives, judge sources, and reach beyond 359 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,319 their own head. That form is nearly gone. Teachers don't 360 00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:55,559 assign research papers, and they don't teach the research method, 361 00:20:55,839 --> 00:20:58,960 never having contemplated a world outside themselves, young people can't 362 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,880 follow a narrative voice that thinks more widely than I feel. 363 00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:06,400 We raise readers who expect a singular viewpoint, one consciousness 364 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,079 and no moral authority. So in the voice of a novel, 365 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,880 there is to sound like a mind greater than the 366 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,880 character's own. They flinch, they call it false, they stop reading. 367 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,279 This is not a failure of fiction, it's a failure 368 00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:20,759 of education. We stop teaching students to think beyond the self. 369 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:27,000 Now they can't follow stories that do that. The in 370 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:33,160 selling of the mind, remember, involuntarily celibate. This is a 371 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,759 form of intellectual celibacy, not interacting with others, not knowing 372 00:21:37,759 --> 00:21:41,680 how to gather data before you make an opinion. And 373 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:47,279 this goes along with common Core that intermingled opinion with feelings. 374 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,079 You can't have an opinion about something without having gathered 375 00:21:51,079 --> 00:21:53,920 facts about that something. You can have a feeling about it. 376 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,279 It feels wrong, it feels scary, it feels like. 377 00:21:58,279 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 2: It won't work. 378 00:22:00,039 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: And those feelings are genuine and okay, but they're not opinions. 379 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,640 But this is what common Core called an opinion. This 380 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,880 is also a reason young people, young men have problems 381 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:15,400 with the Bible, because the Bible is written from the 382 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,680 third person omniscient point of view, the only truly omniscient 383 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,880 point of view, and it draws moral conclusions because God 384 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,079 himself is the law, he is truth, he is light. 385 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,160 Jesus Christ is the Way, the truth of the life, 386 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,119 and no one goes to the Father but through him. 387 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,119 So the Bible feels very aliens to kids. In fact, 388 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,039 I've talked to young kids about the Old Testament where 389 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,559 God will say, I am the Lord. Do this, I 390 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,599 am the Lord. And I've had young people say to me, 391 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,400 why does God have to keep saying that. It's so 392 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:54,640 stuck up, it's so arrogant, because he's reminding people. I'm 393 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,640 telling you to do this, and you should do this 394 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,279 because I am the authority. I am truth, I am sure, 395 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,920 I am consequences, I am action, I am reaction, I 396 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:10,000 am all things. It's not bragging. God doesn't need to brag. 397 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,359 It's reminding us. Why should I do it this way? 398 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,079 Because I'm God and I know you because I made you. 399 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 2: So. 400 00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: The intellectual in selling of kids makes it very, very 401 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,480 difficult for them to draw information from others, to respect 402 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,880 other's opinions, to draw out facts before they reach conclusions, 403 00:23:28,079 --> 00:23:30,680 and they'll turnaround, a turn away from things like the Bible, 404 00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:36,559 or in this case specifically the Bible. And Hollywood knows this. Hollywood, 405 00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:40,599 who helped create the in cell, is now marketing in cells. 406 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,400 Back to in cells. There's a show in the UK 407 00:23:43,559 --> 00:23:47,640 called Adolescence, and it is actually required viewing in some 408 00:23:47,799 --> 00:23:51,160 schools there. This is a sample of what it's like. 409 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,400 A young boy who has no control over his emotions. 410 00:23:55,799 --> 00:24:01,319 Speaker 5: If you do not seek to tell me where to 411 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:01,680 say now? 412 00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:05,839 Speaker 7: Why look at me now? 413 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,519 Speaker 1: So lack of a motion control, finds himself on handcuffs 414 00:24:10,319 --> 00:24:14,599 in a police station, being interrogated, crying with his father, 415 00:24:16,279 --> 00:24:23,079 resenting the entire system, smirking at thority and obvious and 416 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:23,960 pure patred. 417 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 3: That's a great thought, hope we made them, might dad, lamely? 418 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:30,599 Speaker 7: What's there to make that. 419 00:24:35,279 --> 00:24:37,799 Speaker 1: It's difficult to come away from that not feeling sad, 420 00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:40,160 and even great parents can have kids who go off 421 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,240 the rails. The story of adolescence is the story of 422 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,440 anger turned inward to a point where it finally explodes. 423 00:24:48,599 --> 00:24:53,200 It's in cell behavior from an emotional perspective, but most importantly, 424 00:24:53,319 --> 00:25:01,440 in sell from this from knowing God involuntarily celibate becomes 425 00:25:01,519 --> 00:25:10,880 involuntarily intellectually celibate becomes involuntarily celibate from God. If you knock, 426 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:18,200 he will answer. Jesus wants to know you don't be 427 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:26,759 involuntarily spiritually celibate, and worse, don't be voluntarily celibate in 428 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,880 terms of a relationship with God, not, of course, a 429 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,160 sexual one. The only one that really matters and abiding 430 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,799 one story number three. We're never supposed to think this 431 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:45,000 way in regard to one thing. But God made brains changeable. Now, 432 00:25:45,079 --> 00:25:49,319 neuroplasticities become a thing people love talking about. It's a fascinating, 433 00:25:49,519 --> 00:25:52,599 fascinating fact. One of my favorite doctors I read is 434 00:25:52,599 --> 00:25:56,319 a doctor named doctor Carolyn Leaf, and she combined the 435 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:01,319 Bible with brain science in her study of neuroplasticity. Now 436 00:26:01,319 --> 00:26:03,680 she's monetized all this, and there's nothing wrong with that. 437 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,160 She did a great deal of research in neuroplasticity, and 438 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,559 this is what neuroplasticity effectively means. Our brains have the 439 00:26:09,559 --> 00:26:13,039 ability to remap themselves to the point of literally building 440 00:26:13,079 --> 00:26:17,839 new connections. For instance, Carolyn Leaf has proven that people 441 00:26:17,839 --> 00:26:20,559 who've had traumatic brain injuries and have lost the ability 442 00:26:20,599 --> 00:26:26,559 to read or speak can actually, through a process involving 443 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,640 biofeedback and a method she's helped test, can actually get 444 00:26:32,079 --> 00:26:36,519 language centers grown in other parts of the brain that 445 00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:39,799 the signals needed for language can bypass the area of 446 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,839 damage and go back to working. It's very much like 447 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,599 living in a city where one of the main bridges 448 00:26:46,599 --> 00:26:49,359 has been torn down, but you find out there's all 449 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,359 these other ways to get where you're going. It might 450 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,039 take longer, it might not be as comfortable or as efficient, 451 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,519 but it can be done. Our brains can actually not 452 00:26:59,599 --> 00:27:02,759 just do that that use existing routes. It can literally 453 00:27:02,839 --> 00:27:07,279 grow new bridges bridges over a damage area of the brain. 454 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,799 That's neuroplasticity. Now that's a very radical form of neuroplasticity. 455 00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:14,680 There's another though. There are people who will say, no, 456 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,839 I was just born a skeptic. I was just born 457 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:24,279 negative maybe, And if that's the case, you can actually 458 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,119 remap your brain so you're no longer that And that's 459 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,359 very very important. And there's a study that actually came 460 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,759 out in Fox News that discusses the reality of people 461 00:27:34,759 --> 00:27:38,119 who have negative thoughts and what that does to their health. 462 00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:42,759 But there's one area of neuroplasticity we're never supposed to discuss, 463 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,920 so we'll discuss it in a careful and a help 464 00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:49,359 loving way. We'll do that in just a second. Our 465 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,160 brains taken information, and they take it in through story. 466 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,119 Very often. Jesus Christ loves story. Jesus is one of 467 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,680 the best story turnals ever. The parables he told are fascinating. 468 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000 Even when he's not speaking in parables, he speaks in 469 00:28:02,039 --> 00:28:05,599 these incredible, beautiful ways that we love to listen to. 470 00:28:06,079 --> 00:28:09,680 The entire story of his life on earth is a 471 00:28:09,759 --> 00:28:12,119 grand narrative and then with micro narratives in it, in 472 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,559 a great narrative of the entire Bible. Now, sometimes this 473 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,519 can be difficult for young minds because the story is 474 00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:22,319 both very simple speak the simple Gospel simply, but then 475 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,319 also very complex, particularly when kids are raised with traditional 476 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,920 hero stories. Angels Studios just put out a movie called 477 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,880 King of Kings, and it takes the narrative of Jesus Christ, 478 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,920 the Grand narrative and then the simple Gospel simply, and 479 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,319 it takes a young little boy who happens to be 480 00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:44,480 the son of Charles Dickens, and it puts him into 481 00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:47,599 the life of Jesus Christ. And this happens as the 482 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,000 Dickens character is quoting from a work Dickens did right, 483 00:28:51,559 --> 00:28:54,359 the Life of Our Lord, and it is based upon 484 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,200 Dickens telling his son the story of Jesus Christ, and 485 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,640 his son is obsessed with King Arthur and the roundtable 486 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,079 here around his sword and off with everybody's heads. That 487 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,799 sword changes meaning thought the program as the little boy 488 00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:11,000 begins to understand that Jesus Christ was a different form 489 00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:13,799 of king. Now, King of Kings did great in the theaters, 490 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,680 but it's no longer in the theaters. But I'm going 491 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,759 to show you how you can watch it with your family, 492 00:29:18,079 --> 00:29:21,640 and you can do something else.

Fox News 505 00:30:04,039 --> 00:30:07,200 is out with the story that should shock everybody. Shock people, 506 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,119 negative thoughts might be changing your brain in surprising ways 507 00:30:10,119 --> 00:30:15,359 to suggest. Research shows negativity bias correlates with depression, anxiety, 508 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,279 and memory problems. And this is a pretty big test. 509 00:30:18,319 --> 00:30:20,920 It was nearly twenty thousand patients who've been diagnosed with 510 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,480 anxiety orders. Brain disorder specialists and psychiatrist doctor Daniel Amen 511 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,720 was a co author of the study. He's the founder 512 00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:31,359 of Amen Clinics. People who had higher negativity bias were 513 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,960 found to have reduced blood flow in the frontal, temporal, 514 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,319 and partial lobes, regions crucial to decision making, memory, and 515 00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:40,519 emotion regulation. According to a Men, the extent of physical 516 00:30:40,599 --> 00:30:43,440 brain abnormalities, especially in these areas not previously linked to 517 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,079 emotional processing like the cerebellum, was striking. He added, did 518 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,599 I just mention neuroplasticity. So he goes on to make 519 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,079 the case that people with negative thoughts were found to 520 00:30:54,119 --> 00:30:58,960 have higher levels of suicidal ideation. Pardon me for aud 521 00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:02,279 to have higher life levels of intent to self harm 522 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:07,279 to the worst possible degree. Depression, anxiety, emotional instability, poor memory, 523 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,680 stress regulation. Not only weremood symptoms worse, but actual thinking skills, 524 00:31:11,759 --> 00:31:16,519 especially memory and resilience, were compromised. Well, this makes a 525 00:31:16,519 --> 00:31:22,200 lot of sense because it's biblical. Yay scientists for finally 526 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:28,119 figuring out something that the Bible warns us we can control. Philippians, 527 00:31:28,279 --> 00:31:31,680 Chapter four, verse eight. Find the brothers and sisters. Whatever's true, 528 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,319 whatever's noble, whatever's right, whatever's pure, whatever's lovely, whatever's admirable, 529 00:31:36,519 --> 00:31:39,400 if anything is excellent or praiseworthy. Think about such things. 530 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,839 That thinking about such things can take neuroplasticity and employ it. 531 00:31:45,559 --> 00:31:49,160 Taking the word of God and memorizing it can create 532 00:31:49,279 --> 00:31:55,480 a neuroplasticity style event from negative to positive. Being gracious, 533 00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,240 being grateful is a fantastic defense against negativity. It's it's very, 534 00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:03,880 very difficult to be grateful and negative. And when you 535 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:08,240 create the habit of being grateful, you can rewire your brain. 536 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,039 I've become a morning person. I can't even sleep past 537 00:32:11,039 --> 00:32:14,319 four thirty in the morning because I valued having the 538 00:32:14,359 --> 00:32:16,039 time in the morning, to care for my body and 539 00:32:16,079 --> 00:32:19,279 to be in the word neuroplasticity. Now all this is 540 00:32:19,319 --> 00:32:23,200 fair game. Here's where we're not supposed to talk about it. 541 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,359 When people want to change who they are in terms 542 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:33,440 of sex or identity, and yet the brain makes this possible. 543 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,759 And there are people who don't want to change, They 544 00:32:36,799 --> 00:32:39,839 want to stay that way. There are people who want 545 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,279 to change. And if you take it from something say 546 00:32:42,359 --> 00:32:45,119 that's less controversial, maybe there's just say someone has an 547 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:49,279 addiction to sexual images and they don't want that addiction. 548 00:32:49,319 --> 00:32:53,039 It's affecting their marriage, it's expecting their their ability to 549 00:32:53,079 --> 00:32:55,279 engage properly with the opposite sex, and they want that 550 00:32:55,359 --> 00:33:00,160 to change. That's an addiction, it's a sexual behavior. This 551 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,720 stuff can change. This is from Ben Zyloff on Twitter. 552 00:33:05,799 --> 00:33:08,559 He's sharing the testimony of a friend of her. His 553 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,279 name Kyle Hacker, and he describes a journey he took 554 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,680 as he changed his view and experience of sexuality from 555 00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:21,240 same sex and from being gender confused to a freedom 556 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,759 that he says came in Jesus Christ and some of 557 00:33:24,759 --> 00:33:27,240 the joys that is created in his life. This is 558 00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:29,240 part of what he writes about in a really, really, 559 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,880 really interesting article. I started craving darkness in middle school, 560 00:33:34,079 --> 00:33:36,839 staying up late, hiding in my closet, and harming myself 561 00:33:36,839 --> 00:33:40,480 for all ways to exercise self hatred. I was moored. 562 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,359 I was in unmored adolescent growing up in Los Angeles. 563 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,759 One of the reasons removed there from Arkansas was so 564 00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:48,079 I could be a child actor. I was taught to 565 00:33:48,119 --> 00:33:50,400 be whomever I wanted to be, and to pretend to 566 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,400 be whomever the caster in director wanted me to be. 567 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,200 My identity was forged by the mold of people's approval 568 00:33:56,759 --> 00:34:01,279 and my own selfish desires, not by the cross. Once 569 00:34:01,359 --> 00:34:03,440 I got a phone and on social media, I was 570 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,759 enticed to see myself as gay and and came to 571 00:34:07,799 --> 00:34:10,519 believe that conforming to the gay lifestyle would a solution 572 00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:14,199 to my miseries. With a craving for sexual images ditches 573 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,880 in my brain, and having a community of other depressed 574 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,880 and lost teenagers, I was set in my ways. I 575 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,000 was feeling down about myself, not feeling in a place 576 00:34:23,039 --> 00:34:26,079 in society, and thinking dark thoughts. The Internet said it 577 00:34:26,119 --> 00:34:29,280 was probably because I wasn't living as my true self. 578 00:34:30,559 --> 00:34:34,239 At one point, I was thinking about very old memories 579 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,119 and uncovered this one. When I was in kindergarten, I 580 00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:39,679 was assigned two fifth grade buddies to read to me, 581 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,559 both of whom were girls. I remember telling them one 582 00:34:42,599 --> 00:34:44,320 day I wanted to be a girl, and they told 583 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,679 me a boy could never become a girl. The idea 584 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,679 disgusted them, but on a natural not biblical standpoint, but 585 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,039 their disgust meant something to me. I re acted in rebellion. 586 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,559 I remember getting in trouble well noticing the girls of 587 00:34:56,559 --> 00:34:58,639 my class had pretty names and never got in trouble. 588 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,880 They were desirable. My natural desire was twisted away from 589 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,199 wanting to be with a girl in my class to 590 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,000 wishing I could be her. When I remembered this in college, 591 00:35:08,639 --> 00:35:11,000 it was a bittersweet way to give myself permission to 592 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,360 pursue what I had clearly always wanted to transition. I 593 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,960 did grow my hair out, wear ear rings, and identifies 594 00:35:18,039 --> 00:35:21,519 non binary until I was saved the idea of the cross. 595 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,480 It's clear that Satan had been seeking footholds in my 596 00:35:24,519 --> 00:35:27,360 life and in other's lives in my generation, having already 597 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:32,199 accomplished so much to normalize this degeneracy. He continues in 598 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,000 this my lust, depression, and addiction did not have to 599 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,880 define me. Christ could define me, and he wanted to. 600 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,800 But I had to change my whole life. My problem 601 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,360 was not liking who I was, but changing the design 602 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,920 of my life was something I was supremely unqualified for, 603 00:35:47,199 --> 00:35:50,719 as evidenced by my pass of self destruction. God called 604 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,880 me and gave me faith on May twenty eighth, twenty 605 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,920 twenty three, causing me to yield, and I was saved 606 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,360 my life verse is Ephesians. The thief who no longer 607 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,800 steals is no longer a thief only if he actually 608 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,760 completes his conversion and starts laboring. Can this happen as 609 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,519 it did with me as it was coming to Christ. 610 00:36:09,679 --> 00:36:12,079 Though I never thought I could love a woman or 611 00:36:12,119 --> 00:36:14,920 live as a man, I knew that the redemption story 612 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,039 for every sinner was about changing our affections away from 613 00:36:18,079 --> 00:36:20,639 the sin and towards God and holiness. I knew that 614 00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:24,559 being saved meant having been changed affections and no longer 615 00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:27,719 being a homosexual. But I built my life around that 616 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,559 and that aspect of myself. Christ smashed that idol and 617 00:36:31,599 --> 00:36:33,639 gave me the faith to know that I would not 618 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,280 persist in sin forever. Last year he sent me the 619 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,519 most wonderful girl and we were married on April twenty sixth, 620 00:36:39,559 --> 00:36:42,719 twenty twenty five. Now see, we're not supposed to talk 621 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,400 about this form of neuroplasticity because it's thought of as 622 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,840 cruel or conversion therapy. He did this on his own 623 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:55,239 through Jesus Christ. Now, God will not change everybody. Sometimes 624 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,159 this is across people carried. There are people who are 625 00:36:57,199 --> 00:36:59,639 going to struggle with addiction to sexual images of their 626 00:36:59,639 --> 00:37:04,480 whole life, and God delivers many and more importantly, he 627 00:37:04,679 --> 00:37:08,760 teaches us how to not engage in the addictions, and 628 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,440 he gives us the Holy Spirit to make that more possible. 629 00:37:12,079 --> 00:37:13,800 We're seeing a lot of people come out of this. 630 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,519 We're seeing a lot of people stand up after years 631 00:37:16,519 --> 00:37:19,679 of being misled. This is doctor Miriam Grossman. 632 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,039 Speaker 7: We are seeing the detransitioners stand up after a few 633 00:37:24,119 --> 00:37:29,320 years of gender so called gender affirming care. They're standing 634 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,119 up and they're saying, why did you let this happen 635 00:37:32,199 --> 00:37:36,239 to us? How did you doctors do this to me? 636 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:42,360 You stopped my normal puberty, you removed my breasts, you 637 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:48,159 removed my genitals. It's absolute madness. And parents have to 638 00:37:48,159 --> 00:37:52,480 be informed that the United States is an outlier when 639 00:37:52,519 --> 00:37:59,199 it comes to this issue, and that other countries Sweden, Norway, Finland, Britain, 640 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,440 medical groups in New Zealand and Australia and France, all 641 00:38:04,559 --> 00:38:08,079 these places are doing a one point eighty and they 642 00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:12,039 are saying no, the evidence is not showing that these 643 00:38:12,119 --> 00:38:18,079 kids benefit from these drastic medical interventions. What the kids 644 00:38:18,159 --> 00:38:20,000 need is psychotherapy. 645 00:38:20,199 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 4: It's what I meant by is this the new COVID? 646 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,800 It is kind of something that happened during the COVID 647 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,639 pandemic where you. 648 00:38:25,559 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 3: Know, dissenting voices weren't allowed. So it seems like the 649 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,440 same thing is happening right now with. 650 00:38:29,519 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 7: This dissenting voices are not allowed. That is correct. 651 00:38:33,639 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 1: God designed our brains to change. He gave us neuroplasticity. 652 00:38:37,079 --> 00:38:39,559 There are multiple verses in the Bible, some of which 653 00:38:39,599 --> 00:38:43,079 I've shared with you right now, but talk about how 654 00:38:43,119 --> 00:38:45,840 we can control our minds by placing in it the 655 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,239 word of God, by concentrating on things we just talked about. 656 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,519 Isn't it better to help people change their minds than 657 00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:58,559 going through other radical forms such as the doctor just discussed. 658 00:38:59,599 --> 00:39:02,440 This is Todd Hermannshaw. Please go, be well, be strong, 659 00:39:02,599 --> 00:39:04,960 be kind, and please make every effort to walk in 660 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:05,840 the light of Christ.
