Speaker 1: The risk of offending people. There's a reason that I
shy away from people saying I'm a fan of the
show or God forbid, a fan of yours. Number one,
I'm no one of whom people should be a fan.
Number two. That means fanatic. It's short for fanatic, and
so I would much rather have people be podcast family
members radio show family members, because we do share a
lot in common, and if you've been with us a
long time, the only reason we can still do this
is because of you, and that seems more accurate to me.
I spent a fair amount of time this weekend responding
to comments about this show. I mean, it wasn't the show.
It was the three Stories episode we did about Ozzy Osbourne,
and it reminded me of something that my pastor once
taught me, and that is this everybody makes disciples of something,
and the more influence you have, the more people you
disciple into something. So we're going to talk about that
in some of these comments really require some discussion. I
think it's not about Ozzy, it's about the state of
spiritual well being. So we're going to meet some of
Ozzy Osbourne's disciples, and not everybody who loved this music.
Is that there are people who love the music. There
are people who say they're fans fanatics, but there are
disciples of Ozzy Osbourne. We'll talk about this with the
help of renew dot Healthcare and under the Hopefully let
me open my heart and have God just guide this show,
because I could be bearing a lot of falsehood this
year and I don't want to do that. So Lord
please guide us.
Speaker 2: The Todd Harman's show is one disapproved but big pharma,
technocrarats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of Free America.
Here's the Emeralds City ex God to her man.
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made in. These
are the times through which God has decided which shall live.
So let's set some grounds for understanding the start of
the beginning. I am an evangelical Christian. I believe that
we must be born again through the Blood of Christ
and to accept them as our Lord and Savior in
order to be saved. I believe that Jesus Christ is
the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one
can come to the Father but through Jesus Christ. I
believe all the other religions are false. I believe they
had people to Hell. I believe being a pagan leads
you to Hell. I believe being an atheist leads you
to Hell. I don't believe you need to hate God
to go to Hell. I think it could be someone
who says, yeah, I think Jesus was a great teacher,
and go to Hell. I say that not because it's
my ideas, because that's what's in the Bible. As an
evangelical Christian, I believe it's our job to go and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all
that Christ's commanded. Those aren't my words. I bungle them
a little bit. They're the words of Jesus Christ. Those
were instructions. They were not maybe's. It was not if
you feel like it. That's what we were told to do.
To fully abide with Christ is to do this. And
the more we abide with Him, the more we know him.
And I can tell you through painful experience, because I'm
human and human beings have a history of getting close
to God, very very close, and then falling away for
a bit. And going off the path. I can tell
you when you go off the path too far, not
only will you not recognize God's voice, you won't want
to hear it. So there is all. So this is
an evangelical Christian and I think I think most actual
Christians believe this. And let me say it this way.
In fact, if you are an actual Christian, then you
recognize that the devil is real. And if you don't
recognize the devil is real, you're not a fully formed Christian.
The devil is a real entity with a real obsessive
goal in mind, and that is that he wants to
destroy the beings God loves most. That's us. So he's
making disciples of himself or he's making a disciple of
let's say sex, or let's say money making or CrossFit
or podcasting, hunting. Yeah, they can be positive things. So
what pours their entire life's energy into something, say something
like I like like CrossFit. There's all sorts of ways
that the devil can step in there and make an
idol of that. Sometimes it's your own flesh, sometimes it's
the flesh of others. Sometimes it's the workouts, Sometimes it's
the endorphent hits from doing a great job in a workout.
Sometimes it's the community, but it's not the community of Christ.
You can do the same thing with hunting. Yeah, my
church is the woods. You know, I hunt a lot
and I pray while I'm hunting and reflectable did why
did Jesus make a church? Why did he make his
church so you could go hunting? And when you do
that and you behave that way and even positive activities
like that become an idol the people around you. You see
that you have discipled your kids into hunting. It's more
important than going to christ Church. Even though Christ took
the time to build a church. You've made a disciple
of hunting. You're addicted to say your sport, and my
case is crossfits, and your kids see that crossfits more
important than family time. It's more important than connecting with
your spouse. It's more important than anything than your kids.
See that I did it with speed skating with my daughter.
That became more important than us going to church. I'm
sure I've done that from time to time with CrossFit,
I'm sure, and I repent of that. I regret every
second of that. I regret it. Ozzy Osbourne had a massive,
massive effect on pop culture. Ozzy and his band Black Sabbath,
they're not his band, but the band of which he
was a member, created heavy metal. I mean, there were
a few other bands along the way, but none, none
like Sabbath. As I've said, I've stopped listening to the
music because I believe because Tony Iomi told us in
an internet radio studio that they sold their soul to
the devil. I believe Tony Iomi, and that comes up
in this discussion. So we're going to look at some
of the people who were not just fans of Ozzy
Osbourne but disciples, and I wonder how Ozzie feels about
this now. I am still praying for a soul, but
I wonder how Ozzie feels about this now. Ozzy was
in the business of controversy, and that comes up in
this discussion as well, because I recognize the fact that
to be in bands like this is to be in
the business of controversy. And I also know this. Ozzie
died rich. He had some very very smart financial advisors
who took care of him because there's a time where
Ozzie couldn't take care of himself. And you probably have
really well meaning business advisors for your small and medium
sized business. You probably have a weird, really well meaning
tax accountant, maybe even a tax lawyer. They may have
set up multiple LLCs for you. If you own, say
multiple rental properties, or if you're someone who says, you know,
perhaps owns a landscaping company and a contracting company, you've
probably been advised keep those two companies separate, operated under
two LLCs. This reduces your risk of lawsuits. But you
know what, I'm willing to bet that you probably are
not an actual corporation when it comes to corporate credit.
I'm willing to bet when you go check your formation paperwork,
go check your banking paperwork, I'm willing to bet your
Social Security numbers tied to all that stuff. I'm willing
to bet that if there was God forbid a lawsuits,
let's say something happened when you were contracting a house
that those people could sue you to get your retirement
to count and your home from you. My friends at
BISIBLE will tell you. If that's the case, then a
free no obligation consultation. They'll look and tell you if
you have real corporate credit and if you don't. They'll
fix it for you in seven easy steps. It's free,
no charge, no expectation, consultation. All you have to do
is go to their website. It's go bisible. Do not
put this off. It's go bisible with a z gobisible
dot com. Everybody is making disciples of something. Now. I
get the idea of comment sections. I know they're not
real life, but they're real people behind it, because these
are not bots. Drunken Rampage fifteen eighty eight. Doesn't matter
if as you went to hell, he'll end up ruling it. Okay,
let's pause and think about this. A man who could
not keep himself safe from drug addiction, a man who
fell into that and, by his own admission, sexual sin
of all sorts. A man who went through a period
of time where he could barely speak, where he slurred
so badly it was difficult to understand him. He was
a man who was a young man was smart enough
to figure out a formula for a band called Black
Sabbath along with Tony Iomi and the other guys in
the band, and to market it and to market himself
and to go solo. Recognizing that he was Ozzy Os
one of the most recognizable face in Black Sabbath, that
his voice had become the voice of heavy metal, smart
enough to go pick up a guy like Randy Rhodes,
smart enough to go out and be the Prince of
Darkness and to bite the head off of a bat,
and to play the controversy game himself so badly on
drugs he could barely speak. And by the way, a
lot of that was probably pharmah two, because you know
they always like to come in and help entertainers. So
that man with those weaknesses will rule Hell over the
Prince of Darkness himself, who had been at one point
the most beautiful of all the angels, but chose to
turn against God and will run hell. But Ozzi, So
maybe this is just this guy's handle is drunken rampage.
Maybe that's just it. Now again, I see the name
and you do two ben choken straight up. If Ozzy's
the Prince of Darkness, I'm there. Do you think the
devil cares? If you're joking? I mean, God knows your heart,
but God also hears your words. We who confess Jesus
in front of the public, in front of our friends,
that is that we confess him as our Lord and savior.
We speak of him, he will confess in front of
his father. Oh yeah, no, yeah, I know Alex. Lord
Jesus will say of Alex, he's a great servant of
the Lord. No, I Father, God, I know Alex, Alex
with me. People who do not confess say this, whoever
ben Chokun really is. Unless he repents and accepts the
Lord Jesus as his personal savior and agrees to be
changed by him, he can get to that judgment day
and just goes straight to hell. Or Jesus can say, oh, well,
this is what you wanted, and this gets worse. I mean,
this is the very beginning of it. And I wrote
back and said too, this guy who said, straight up,
if Ozzie's the prince of darkness, I'm there. And I
wrote said, and with that, there you go. I hope
pray you repent. And then I get a little synopsis.
Man who couldn't save himself from the drug ills of
this life, even if all was well earned, wealth and
rule over the devil will rule of the devil. I
pray you one day come to know God. Now is
it Ozzie's fault that these two people have this point
of view to a degree because he made disciples. Now,
I know there's people who say, look, dude, I just
like Ozzie's music. Cool. Well, I tried not to listen
to it because of what I believe it came from.
But I'm sorry. Crazy Trains a great song, MoMA I'm
Going Home is a great song. And just like a
lot of people, I could look at that with this
incredible sense of sadness. Is Ozzy saying that for I
guess the last time in public? It was the last
time in public unless he did it to a small audience.
I can look at that. I can go back and
listen to a song like Paranoid by Black Sabbath, and
the guitar part to that I can still cure in
my head. And I remember that was one of the
big tests of early teenhood. Can you play Paranoid?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I remember remember this. I remember growing up in Spokane,
in the Spokane Valley, and I heard a rumor that
there was a guy. Oh gosh, I can remember his name.
Oh hold on it s again, I can remember his name. Oh,
Kevin lion Ase, Kevin lion Aise. I remember this. I
heard this rumor there was a guy named Kevin Lionaise
who could not just play iron Man, which frankly, anybody
who knew Barcourds could play iron Man. But he could
play Paranoid. No way, no one can play Paranoid. And
sure enough, my friend Ror took me to his house
and we went to school. We were classmates with his
sister Christy. We went to the house and I'll never
forget it going downstairs and I don't want to say
what I smelled, but you know, memories are faulty, But
walked down then there and as I recall, he had
a black less Paul or a less Paul imitation, but
I think it was a less Paul, and he played Paranoid.
First he played it to the record, then he turned
the record off and he did it on his own.
I remember going away. That can be done. That's just
the music. So there's plenty of people saying, dude, they're
just like the music. Great, then you're not a fanatic.
You've not become a disciple. But the very marketing of
Black Sabbath marketed the darkness. And there were some songs.
There's one in particular, and we'll get to this that
a guy who really appreciates the music of Black Sabbath
and is an Eastern Orthodox Catholic who prayed for Ozzy.
Wrote a beautiful notes as a guy with a clear
eyed look at who Ozzie was, at least as this
guy saw. It made me aware of a song that,
in fact mentions Jesus positively does not mean Ozzie was saved.
So ben Chokin writes this back to me. Thanks, but
I'll just be fine. I'll be just fine. If there's
a God that punishes for mere disbelief, he can kiss
my h lily white behind. He's not worth my attention
much less my adoration. Does God punish us for disbelief?
Is it punishment when you get the earned results of
your labors? Is it punishment when you don't work and therefore, well,
let me see it this way, because it's more biblical.
When you refuse to work, you won't work and therefore
you won't eat. Is that punishment? Why don't I have
food because you refuse to work? Why are you punishing me?
I'm not I'm just not giving you food. I know
that we're to be there for the least of these.
I was hungry and you did not feed me. I
was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink. I
know the Lord Jesus is taught about that, and the
Bible also says he who will not work, shall not eat,
will stand. There's a difference between the least of these
and the people who refuse to do what God gave
them the ability to do, which is to work with
dignity to help feed themselves. I'll be just fine. This
view that God punishes goes throughout these comment threats. Now again,
this is a focused group of a very very small
group of people. But I don't have a great big
YouTube presence. We're just investing in YouTube. We just started
about eight months ago. But it's very representative. I could
have grabbed a whole bunch more with the same sort
of opinion. Now, incidentally, here this guy's writing, if there
is a God, small g of course, if there is
a God, now understand this. This person who wants to
call himself ben Choken on YouTube is angry at a
god he apparently thinks does not exist. Are you angry
at the Easter Bunny for having not come this year?
This sort of anger and this sort of defiance against
the very idea of God. It runs through sort of
the marketing of Black Sabbath. Sorry, it does, and I
want to be fair because there is this song we'll
talk about that really does mention Jesus and God. It
really does say God is the only way to love.
And I'm aware because people made me aware, reminded me
that Ozzie wore crosses. Okay, he wore crosses. He also
said he was saved because he went to Sunday School
and was baptized, but he wasn't really into it, so
he didn't do much about it. He didn't go to
church or anything like that. He just wasn't into it.
One way to know you're saved is you're into it.
If you're not all that into God, and if you're
not all that into learning more about Jesus and becoming
more like him, you might not be saved. And if
you're in a period of time or a season in
your life where you are, let's say, having a hard
time reading your Bible, this is a warning sign. If
you're in a period of time where you used to
go and enjoy reading the Bible in the morning and
meditating in the Word of God and being in scripture
and sharing scripture and you're not doing that anymore, and
you have trouble doing that. That's a warning sign that
maybe something else has come along, Maybe something's come between
you and God. If you could no longer enjoy church,
you used to enjoy it, but you can't, I'm here
to tell you that's a warning sign. You're still going,
and perhaps out of a sense of duty, or all
your friends are there, or it's just because that's what
you do. God sees that everybody makes disciples of something.
An Ozzie made a disciple of people like Ben Show
and people like Drunken Rage fifteen eighty eight. Everybody makes
disciples of something. On the back of this coffee bag
says God, Country, Team. So my friend Tim Krukshank is
a retired Navy seal who's a medica attached to the
Seal teams and God, of course first, because God comes first,
Country and Team, so he wants to be a disciple maker,
and Tim is for Jesus. He also has a coffee
company to run, and he's got a mission to carry
out and a mission in addition to proclaiming the name
of God. This is a bag recognizing a very very
very tragic op called Extortion seventeen. It's a medium roast.
Tim is counseled by Dave Stewart, who's a coffee legend
in the creation of all his coffees. Dave started Salle's
Best Coffee and even make some of the roast. I
don't know if he made this one, even makes some
of them. On the side of the bag are the
names of all the people and the one dog who
was killed during this op. There's a lot to be
said about this op. Some of it Tim can s
some he cannot because of Department of Defense rules. If
you're curious about Extortion seventeen and how we got to
a point that the United States Special Forces community lost
the most men in a single op in its twenty
four year history, go read about Extortion seventeen. This bag

And there are more people in here than Ben chokun.
A're about to switch over to a guy called Yakfish,
but let's finish up here with Ben. This is to
me the theological discussion hell been choken. Oh, I can
use my free will, but if I use it in
the way that God Small G doesn't like, I get
punished for eternity. Why does small G God need to
extort human devotion? Why does small G God care what
people think or say about him? I'm a mere mortal
and I don't get pissy. Sorry, I don't get pissy.
If someone talks bad about me, they might be right anyway.
Thanks for the chat. You help me understand why some
believers are so childish. It's because they worship a childish God. Okay,
you have free will as a human being, and let's
say that you decide to use that free will to
put too much lighter fluids on your campfire to cook
the hot diggity dogs. Okay, so you decide to really
pour it on because it's going to be fun. You
toss the match in, you get down. You sometimes get
and you burn your face and your nose and your hair,
hopefully not too badly. Man. Everyone around you puniched you.
It was your free will. They punished you by not
stepping in and saying don't do that, not tackling you,
put that down. They were punishing you. No, maybe they're
not very good friends, but they're punishing you. God put
us on earth with this free will. We have chosen
to use it to stand against God. Satan very famously
said nonservium, I will not serve. Catholics talk about that
a lot in their tradition. Nonservium, I will not serve. Okay,
God doesn't force anybody until judgment Day comes, and then
it's not forced. It's just the path you chose to walk.
Why does God need to extort human devotion? Extort it?
How does he do that?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I see, if you're not devoted to him, you go
to hell. So that's extortion. Okay. So this is a
lot like someone providing everything they can for their family,
everything that they possibly can, and it's nice to be
loved in return, you know. I think of the sacrifices.
My wife is made for me, for a daughter. And
I'm sure there's periods of time where every wife feels
like man, I'm not appreciated. But the sacrifices they make,
that's to extort love. Maybe it's to provide it. God
started with providing the common blessings for the righteous and
the unrighteous alike. That is air, water, sun, food, ability
to work, ability to feed ourselves for most of us
are the common blessing, are the elements. So he gave
that all to us. Why to a short love extortion
comes with the threat. What's the threat? Is there a
time in the Bible where Jesus Christ said, I am
the son of the Living God, and I'm telling you
right now, if you don't worship me, I will throw
you into hell. Get on your knees. How did Jesus
behave that way? Because he could have, with all the
power of heaven and earth given to him, he could
have come and rained down the lightning bolts, as James
and John said, when the Samaritans who were trying to
diminish the Lord Jesus spending on them, et cetera. And
they said, let us bring thunder down on them lightning
and thunder. Jesus could have said, hey, no, let me
do it, watch this and just pulverize the whole place.
He could have come and said, I am the son
of the Living God. You will worship me. You will
drop your knees, or I will look. I'll begin zapp people.
That's extortion. Jesus instead did the most extortion type thing.
He washed feet. Man, that's some extortion. Instead of putting
us on crosses, what she could have done. You're a wicked,
sinful generation. And I said I wouldn't flood the earth again,
but I didn't say I wouldn't put you up on crosses.
Don't boom boom on the cross as you go. I'm
the innocent one. He went to the cross. That's extortion.
Jesus went through the cross, and people delude themselves into thinking, yeah,
I could do that. No, you couldn't. You couldn't withstand
a drop of the cup of wrath. And Jesus took
on all of God's cups of wrath for all sin
ever done, all sin that would ever be committed, that
will ever be committed, including bends and mine. I'm a
more mortal. I don't get pissy. If someone talks bad
about me, they might be right anyway. Thanks for the chat.
You help me understand why some believers are so childish.
It's because they worship a childish god. So I wrote
back to this guy and said, you're welcome, Ben, God
is childish the same way makers of trucks are childish
to warn us to only put diesel only out. I
love that there's no edit button to only put diesel
fuel in diesel engines. They designed them, they know what's
good for them. I appreciate the talk, have a good day.
I do appreciate it because it was illuminating to me.
That's someone's theology. So my point about the diesel that's clear.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: Is it childish of GMC or Ford or Dodge whatever.
Is it childish of them to say unladed fuel only
or diesel only because they know how the engines run,
they designed them. I'm pretty sure that's on Tesla's there's
no place to pour gas because they don't take gas.
Was that childish? I want to put gas by Tesla,
so you want to blow up? We run not just
on bread and water. And Jesus made this clear. And
speaking back to the devil. If you're the son of God,
turn those stones into breads and eat. It is written.
Man does not live by food alone, but from every
word that proceeds from the mouth of God. God gave
us food the ability to get food, but he's also
made it very very clear we need his word to
function well. Go examine the biggest mistakes of your life,
the ones that cost your family and friends enormously, Go
examine them. Come back to me with the one that
wasn't sin. Go find it. Oh, I made a big, big,
big business mistake, and I lost this a bunch of money,
and so your family hated you, resented you. You utterly
lost their trust and their respect. They had to ask themselves,
who is this man because of a business mistake. Nope,
not unless you've got a really reactive and in fact
immature family. Dad made a mistake. But you go find
the crushing things. Come back to me with the one
that's not sin. You go find the decisions that haunt you.
Come back to the ones that aren't rooted in sin.
I can go back and praise God and thank you
to my wife for her devotion to the family. Our
daughter has done amazing work. God's worked through it a ways.
One of my original mistakes was sin, Gosh, she's really
doing well in speed skating. This is fun for me.
It feels good for me. She's getting national attention and
she can win national medals. We don't really need church
ones ond sin Sin, because I made a disciple of
speed skating. Everybody makes disciples of something. And you're seeing
and about to meet another disciple of Ozzy Osbourne, a
guy called Yakfish, And I'd like to see what these
people look like, because images matter. What you're seeing here
is a spiritual war, and that has been going on forever.
And imagine the spiritual war that was occurring around the
time of the Book of Acts. So this is Luke
chronicling what Jesus's apostles and their disciples, Apostles being people
who walked with Jesus, disciples being people who were discipled
by the apostles. What they did to build christ Church,
That's what the Book of Acts goes through. So what
did they do? They met together daily, they ate together day.
They combined their resources for the good of all. And
it's not socialism because it wasn't taken at the point
of a gun. So don't come and say that silliness.
One of the first acts was, Hey, who's going to
care for the Greek widows? Well, that's a lowly job.
Men can't do that. In fact, men are going to
do that. Who's going to go out and spread the gospel?
We need to have teams. Where are they going to go?
Why are we spreading the gospel? Because Jesus told us
to make disciples. Wait a minute, why would it need
this stupid physical location. Because Jesus wanted a church. That
was an incredible time in church history. And now Angel
Studios has taken that in a new series called Testament,
and they've transplanted those people, characters, actors playing them into
a nation that is a surveillance state, that is a
censorship state, and that is a state that hates the truth.
In other words, it seems like now this is an
opportunity for you and your family to sit and think,
will you stand for Jesus the world stands against you,
as they just did in Canada this weekend, Sean Foysch
went to play to church in that church is being fined.
He is a Christian worship leader. These are the times
we live in. You can stream Testament right now. Go
to Angel dot com slash Todd become an Angel Studio
Premium Guild member. Not only can you stream Testament right now,
you get two free tickets to any and all Angel

in this case this series Testament, it is Angel dot
com slash Todd, Angel dot com slash Todd, Meet another Disciple,
and then another. This is yakfish four nine one two
show me where it says the Apostles built churches. Your
book says many will come, but fuel enter. Maybe this
isn't for you, bro, Dude, we're in the Bible doesn't
say they built one church. Either your haven't read or
you're not too bright, he says, spelling to us in
to and again I made typos as well. Where does
it say, well, the Book of Acts they chose a
location to meet, they didn't have the resources yet to
build a church that. As I went and replied later
to this guy, in about a two second Google search,
I came out with the very first church locations that
they did build. It came one generation after the apostles
were meeting in these home churches, these locations. We still
do home churches. The reason we do home churches is
because we read the Book of Acts. Where do we meet?
If we don't have a church in a home what
then then we create the resources to get a building.
Why because we want to have a central location where
people can meet. Why because we want to take bread together.
Why because Jesus' apostles said this is what we're going
to do. We're going to take bread together. And this
is another disciple of Ozzy Osbourne and the anger and
the arrogance. Where the Bible does that say they built
churches In the Book of Acts, they started with home churches.
Now follow the thread from the acfish back to the
people who said, if Ozzie's going to Hell, he'll end
up ruling it. Your book doesn't say they built churches.
Your God so childish, he's going to extort human devotion.
What's the common thread? Ignorance and arrogance and anger and
people who know so much about things they don't know
anything about. Again, there's fans of Ozzi. I wish people
wouldn't be fans because it means fanatic. There's people who
love his music, and we're going to hear some of
that in a second. It's comments like this, No apologies,
six nineteen Americans blabbing on about religion. Yon grow up.
He believed in the tooth Fairy as well. No, he
wasn't saved because God isn't real, You silly children. Does
anybody observe the thread, now, the subthread that we are
children for believing in God. We're childish. So it is
not childish to believe that you wake up and there
are eggs there from a bunny. Clearly that's childish. Buddies
don't deliver eggs. But it is really advanced thinking. It
is the height of smart to believe that there was
absolutely nothing and then something acted upon that nothing and
therefore created everything, including the rules that govern the meta
facts of life, the orbits and the micro facts of
life are DNA. Let's again think of this. There's nothing,
absolutely nothing, and then something acted upon it. Where did
the something come from because there was nothing?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: It just dude, it just that's not childish. Are there beings? Yeah?
Are some beings more advanced than others? Yeah, we're more
advanced than a salamander, and we're probably the most advanced
of the species. I mean, yeah, there's species that have sonar,
et cetera, But there are no other species that build cities,
or operate on people's bodies, or have read God's code
and DNA. We're the tops of that, not necessarily the
food shain. If we're out in the woods on your own,
you'll find out pretty quickly you are maybe mid level
of the food shain. You know, a decent sized wildcat
can make a meal of you in about five seconds,
maybe even a badger for having a bad day. But
intellectually we're the top of the food chain, So therefore,
could there be something above us? Look at this another way.
Our bodies are ruled by language and math, readable, writeable, repeatable, falsifiable.
Find me a single time in history ever that meaningful
information arrived happenstantially. Find me this sentence accidentally written in
the sands, and don't be Jimmy Comy, he's the only
one over found one. And it wasn't even a full sentence,
it was just.
Speaker 2: What was it?
Speaker 1: Forty seven? There's this and this is actually very funny.
Austin Henley Music commented CrossFit Christian, my worst nightmare. That's
actually I wrote back and said that, believe it or not,
that's actually a very funny line. I get that. And
then he said this about Ozzy. He acted every day
out of love and rejected fear every single day. The
man believed, Okay, now we're getting somewhere. We're talking about
the fruits. So this guy said that Ozzie acted every
day out of love and rejected fear every single day
he did. He said he was terrified of the world.
Ozzy Osborne said one of the reasons he recognized God
was because he was terrified of the world. He never
came out to confess Jesus Christ. He never made an
effort to make a disciple unless he did a private
at home, which is not what we're told to do.
Make disciples of all nations. Ozzy, more than most people
will ever do, was in all nations, in front of
more people to whom much is given, much is expected,
rejected fear every day. The man believed the demons believe.
Every demon in Hell believes in God. Every demon harassing
us here believes in God. All your Christians can have
write off talking about Ozzi for decades, y'all demonized him,
tried to censor him, and portrayed him as an enemy
number one to your precious beliefs. Now you want to
ramble on after he's dead and try to capitalize on
him for your own benefit. Typical disingenuous Christian behavior.
Speaker 4: Gf y the or Ticki Born wrote back, why does
the Heathen rage?
Speaker 1: And I responded this, and this guy's name is Tim
Tim G seven six two seven. Hi, Tim, would you
kindly point to anything I've ever done to censor Ozzie
or Black Sabbath. The worst I ever did to them
was trying to properly play Paranoid and Crazy Train on guitar.
If this video angers you, why Ozzy was in the
controversy business as much as the music business, and he
was gifted at both, Tim, don't be disingenuous, And of
course you pretend to be the victim, so typical. I'm
the victim of what. These are just a few disciples
of Ozzy Osbourne and we all make disciples of something.
Now we're getting somewhere that I thought was really interesting,
really interesting, And there's no way had enough space to
put this guy's entire comment on it. But this is
a guy who is a appreciates Ozzy's music and actually
appreciated his family life and apparently how he viewed Ozzy
as a father. And he provided me some guidance in
this that I thought was really really interesting. This Eastern
Orthodox Christ prayed for Ozzy and his family several times.
Ozzie was a giant for many generation exers out there.
I'm blown away by how much love he gave his family.
Please pray for his repose and his devastated family. I'm
ready for the hateful comments. Now, well, this is the
long comment. This is a different one. His name Nasratu
Handas Fartu. Thanks for the comment. It's lovely. Thank you.
Ozzie will be missed, he wrote back. Now see there's
a genuinely decent comment. He thinks that Ozzie was a
good man and a good father, but he didn't say
he's saved. This comes from Carmine nineteen sixty six. Todd,
don't you believe that Oz found Christ one time or another,
constantly wearing a gigantic crucifix around his neck and the
Hulkster recently being baptized, wrote back, high brother, thanks for
the note. Well, Hulk Hogan actually professed Jesus his savior.
Ozzie never professed. Why was I spelling Ozzy Ie? And
here I am talking about other people's misspellings and typos.
Ozzie never professed to be Christ. Pardon me, Ozzie never
can professed Christ. Jesus made clear that people who confess
him in public he will present to the Father. Those
who do not he will not. So I'm sorry, Carmen,
I see no sign that Ozzie accepted Jesus. Now he's
right about Hulk, but this provides us a comparison. And
I don't know if you've seen this before. It's Hulk
talking about Jesus. Christ will do that. And then we'll
get to this song that a really well meaning appreciator
of Ozzie's music shared with me. And I didn't say
fan and I didn't say disciple because they don't think
this person is. And let's all recognize something I said
earlier that Ozzi had well earned wealth. He did. There
are some comments bringing back lol well earned. It was
well earned. They designed a band, They work their tails
off to make that band a reality. And if you
think touring the world's a ton of fun. Go talk
to someone who's been a touring musician for even five years.
It ain't fun. That wears on you. Pretty pretty quickly,
they evolved. Ozzie planned out a business to go solo,
and he did it incredibly successfully, ended up making probably
more money as a solo artist than he did sharing
royalties with Black Sabbath. Smart business. You've worked your whole life.
Hopefully you've done a smart job of investing. Maybe you've
done it in your own maybe you've got sort of
a financial advisor. Let me ask you this question, how
set up are you for the back and forth boomerang
nature of President Trump's leadership, Because just this weekend we
read about him rebalancing trade with Europe. The lady, the
boss Lady of the EU said, really, the EU didn't
get anything out of this. The trade and balance favored us.
Everything we just did now favors the United States. That's
a massive change. At the same time, as President Trump
is saying, maybe we'll give amnesty to legal immigrants who
work in hotels and farms, which then does to the
immigration and deportation plans, so we start enforcing our border
laws again. Then there's this President Trump saying through executive
order that the very very bad people who run Black
Rock can now con people into having private equity in
their four to one K portfolios when private equity is
overvalued probably by sixty to eighty percent. What I'm describing
is a risky, risky world. Bower Capital Management thrives in
that world. In fact, they get their best performances often
out of volatile times because they are obsessed by risk
management and to properly manage risk. They actively manage every
single portfolio which can reduce risk and volatility. And they
will take three free meetings with you so you can
figure out if you like them, if you respect them,

Truck twenty five Dash two five to two so everybody
makes disciples of something. If you have any any influence
over anybody, you're making a disciple, maybe even doing it.
Today we've been looking at some of the disciples of
Ozzy Osbourne. Not everybody who wrote back is the disciple.
Some people are just fans and comminated. Ask Todd, don't
you believe that Oz found Christ one time or another,
constantly wearing a gigantic crucifix around his neck, and the
Hulks are recently being baptized. Well, I am very very
sure that Hulk Hogan was baptized. I saw it happen,
and then he began professing Jesus.
Speaker 3: It's lammed of the free in the Home of the Brave.
And I just really feel that there have been so
many things that have changed over the years. Number one,
pulling God out of the equation. You know, there are
so many civilizations that have fallen and had a demise
simply because of several things. You know, power ridden people,
the sexuality problems within that society, and usually when the
sexuality stuff gets confusing, it's towards the demise of that society.
But I know one thing that taking God out of
the equation is something that we will not survive without
you know, so I really feel, you know, everything from
the men that wrote the Constitution to the Lord's Prayer
and school to you know, being have the religious freedom,
to be able to worship in the church of your choice,
all that stuff that they were trying to take away
from us. It needs to be instilled back in this country.
And we're the world's leader. I mean, everybody looks up
up to us as an example, and I think it's
time that we understand who we are and take our
position back in this world.
Speaker 1: And I guess I'm hearing from Hulk humility, which is
gotta be tough for him. I mean, he had to
be crushed. That was from Stackobeck tonight. So whole quote
about professing Jesus he's wearing across Ozzie wore one, and
Ozzie never came back and said, you know that Prince
of Darkness stuff. I repent of that. You know, when
we went around saying we sold our souls to the devil,
I repent of that. And Ozzie needed to do that
because the Devil's not going to say, oh, you were joking.
That was just for publicity. I don't care. I don't
care you signed the contract, Bud. There is a reason
for hope. There really is. And this is from Sagittarius
Satillarium Satellitium. Sorry, it's hard to seize an old man.
The song after Forever by Black Sabbath explains it all.
And I went back and said, well, listen, what did
that explain to you? He said that God is the
only way to love. Thanks, Oh, listen this morning. I
appreciate it. So I did, and I went to listen
to the song and I got to say it's to me.
Sorry Sabbath fans. It's a really boring song, but it
gave me some reason to hope. This is some of
the lyrics. Have you ever thought about your soul? Can
it be saved? Or perhaps you think that when you're
dead you just stay in your grave? If God is
God just a thought within your head? Or is a
part of you? Is Christ just the name that you
read in a book when you're in school. When you
think about death, do you lose your breath or do
you keep your cool? Do you would you like to
see the pope on the end of a rope? Do
you think he's a fool? Well, I've seen the truth. Yes,
I've seen the light and I've changed my ways. I'm
prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of
our days. Could it be you're afraid of what your
friends might say if they knew you believe in God above,
they should realize before they criticize that God is the
only way to love. Is your mind so small all
that you have to fall in with the pack wherever
they run? Will you sneer when death is near and
say they may as well worship the sun? I think
it was true as people like you that crucified Christ.
I think it is sad the opinions you had was
the only one voiced. Will you be sure when your
day is near? Is there say you don't believe you
had the chance, but you turned it down. Now you
can't retrieve. Perhaps you'll think before you say that God
is dead and gone, open your eyes, just realize He
is the one, the one who can save you now
from all this sin and hate? Or will you just
jeer at all you hear? Yes, I think it's too late,
maybe for them. If there is a glimmer of hope
that Ozzie made it to heaven, it's maybe the song.
Why Because everybody's making disciples of something, and maybe somewhere
at some time, some Black Sabbath appreciators of music or
even fans listen to this, and maybe somewhere at some
time someone said, wow, Black Sabbath is talking about Jesus
being real. Maybe I should look into that. And maybe
as Ozzie was dying, maybe the gods we love Jesus
in his great mercy came and said, hey, Ozzy, Ozzy,
remember that song after forever here I am. Jesus is
capable of doing that. He did it with the thief
on the cross. So if there's a glimmer of polpe
for me in regard to Ozzy Osborne's soul, it comes
from that song. And I want to thank the gentleman
who brought this up to me for bringing it up.
What are you making disciples of? This is the todd hermanshew.
Please go be well, be strong, be kind, and please
make a decision to be disciple of Jesus and make
disciples of Jesus, and celebrate from me as I get
to go home later to my beloved wife
