Speaker 2: Get Biblical with your boy Kad. You may be wondering
Speaker 2: what is this all about. I hear this guy with
Speaker 2: hippiie hop music on in the background. This is not
Speaker 2: very biblical. We should be learning from the Bible, and
Speaker 2: we will be. We'll be taking good old scriptures out
Speaker 2: of the b I. B l e. The basic constructions
Speaker 2: before leaving Earth Manual, presenting them to you in a
Speaker 2: very transparent and open way in hopes of bringing transformation
Speaker 2: in your life through the power of testimony as well,
Speaker 2: and we've been studying all month long here on the
Speaker 2: show a book called the thirty Day Spiritual boot Camp,
Speaker 2: brought to you by some of the greatest evangelists in
Speaker 2: the world, the Graham Family, William Graham, Franklin Graham, and
Speaker 2: of course the legendary Billy Graham. But before we get
Speaker 2: started into our day sixth program here on the show,
Speaker 2: I know some of y'all are like, who whoa, whoa, whohoa, whoaha.
Speaker 2: I kind of like the way this guy sounds. I
Speaker 2: like where he's headed. But I'm a non believer. I'm
Speaker 2: an atheist. Katie. Yeah, I should be shutting this off,
Speaker 2: but something's telling me to keep it on. It's okay.
Speaker 2: That's not your conscience calling. That's the Lord calling you.
Speaker 2: I know, said the word Lord.
Speaker 3: We talked about the Bible and now a Bible boot camp,
Speaker 3: and you may be shaking in those Biblical boots right now,
Speaker 3: but that's okay, because we're all going to bow before
Speaker 3: him and shake when he comes here, so we might
Speaker 3: as well get spiritually ready right right now.
Speaker 2: But we have a phrase around here for you believers,
Speaker 2: non believers, maybe white haired wisdom of faith, believers that
Speaker 2: have white hair on your hairy chin chin chin, and
Speaker 2: other parts of your body as well. We're not going
Speaker 2: to go there on this episode, by the way, nor ever,
Speaker 2: but we have a phrase for everybody, and that phrases
Speaker 2: we dare you, We dare you to stick around, We
Speaker 2: dare you to grow your faith, start your faith, reignite
Speaker 2: your faith through the power of transparency of the Bible,
Speaker 2: testimony and transformation. Right here with your boy kd a
Speaker 2: former stand up comedian now turning evangelist for Christ and
Speaker 2: all month long here in December, we've been bringing you
Speaker 2: to a Day's Right to a day boot camps throughout
Speaker 2: the week on Mondays and Wednesdays, we've been touching on
Speaker 2: this book called The Thirty Day Spiritual boot Camp by
Speaker 2: the Franklins, and man it has been transformative, and we
Speaker 2: take the power of scripture, talk about that scripture laced
Speaker 2: around today's world, and we also talk about what the
Speaker 2: grams say in a little story as well. So basically,
Speaker 2: you know, when you go to workout, you go into
Speaker 2: a gym, you have a warm up, you have a workout,
Speaker 2: and then you have a cool down. Right, Well, that's
Speaker 2: no different here on the show. We'll go through a
Speaker 2: warm up, which is a quick verse from the Bible.
Speaker 2: We'll go through a workout, which is something that one
Speaker 2: of the grams have written, and we'll touch on paragraphs
Speaker 2: and add our own little Panashian, a little Dolly, a
Speaker 2: little things into it, things from your good old boy here, Katie.
Speaker 2: And then we'll cool down with some prayer. And if
Speaker 2: you guys want to check out this book, we're not
Speaker 2: going to go through all thirty one days. By the way,
Speaker 2: make sure you go and check out this book at
Speaker 2: your local library, The thirty Day Spiritual boot Camp. It
Speaker 2: was given to me by a gentleman in my student
Speaker 2: ministry class that we go to. And yes, your boy here,
Speaker 2: Katie is studying in the world of student ministry right now,
Speaker 2: completing my courses on global university online as well digging
Speaker 2: deeper into the Lord. Who would have thought from comedian
Speaker 2: to evangelists right Well, that's why y'all are sticking around.
Speaker 2: You don't know what I'm going to say. Comedians never
Speaker 2: know what they're going to say. Let alone have the
Speaker 2: power of Christ in their hand. Look out. But let's
Speaker 2: get things started here. In day six of our program
Speaker 2: here in December, getting you ready for your spiritual boot camp.
Speaker 2: And this is perfect timing because we know the holidays
Speaker 2: have been bestowed upon us since November with Thanksgiving. We're
Speaker 2: starting to get a lot of pressure. We're worrying about
Speaker 2: people coming into our homes, we're worrying about providing gifts,
Speaker 2: paying our bills, and we have a lot of stress
Speaker 2: around the holidays. So why not work out that stress
Speaker 2: with another spiritual boot camp? So at ease, okay, and
Speaker 2: let's get into where warm up this morning laced around
Speaker 2: One Peter chapter two, verse nine. Again One Peter, Chapter two,
Speaker 2: verse nine, and it states you are a chosen race,
Speaker 2: a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his
Speaker 2: own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of Him
Speaker 2: who called you out of the darkness into his marvelous light.
Speaker 2: Let's read that again. You are chosen right off the bat.
Speaker 2: You have been chosen. You ever been sitting around going
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm here, I don't know what
Speaker 2: my purpose is. I don't know why I'm on this earth.
Speaker 2: What am I supposed to be doing? You're chosen, You're
Speaker 2: part of a royal priesthood, that goes all the way
Speaker 2: back to Adam and Eve in the lineage of David.
Speaker 2: That's amazing right there in itself. And you may not
Speaker 2: understand what I said if you're a non believer. David
Speaker 2: was one of the greatest kings of all time, even
Speaker 2: though he had stumbled as well in his life. We
Speaker 2: all stumble and fall order the glory of God one
Speaker 2: of our favorite phrases here on the show. He was
Speaker 2: the reason why Jesus came around in that lineage, then
Speaker 2: Jesus came here to die on the cross for our sins.
Speaker 2: You're part of a royal priesthood, a holy nation of people.
Speaker 2: And when we start accepting that, we realize we are
Speaker 2: all together and we're not divided by a title that
Speaker 2: has been cast upon us in society. Black White, Puerto
Speaker 2: Rican Haitian non worker worker lgbtq X gets the square.
Speaker 2: It really doesn't matter. You're a part of a royal
Speaker 2: priesthood and you are something special. So what does Will
Speaker 2: Graham have to say in the Thirty Day Spiritual boot Camp, Well,
Speaker 2: he goes on. He starts off by saying things were
Speaker 2: going wrong in his personal life. He was immersed in
Speaker 2: a society that valued everything that he stood against. He
Speaker 2: was pressured to bow down and worship that they that
Speaker 2: he knew were wrong. There was a constant temptation to
Speaker 2: succumb to the worldliness around him. Does this sound like
Speaker 2: some of you out there today? Sound familiar? He says no, Well,
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the world we live in today. But
Speaker 2: rather a young man from the Old Testament who was
Speaker 2: captured and taken any captivity. His name was Daniel. Daniel's
Speaker 2: home of Jerusalem had been overthrown, and he had been
Speaker 2: carried off into foreign and godless land as a slave
Speaker 2: of King Nebeconezzar. He endured a re education program they
Speaker 2: called it. Does that sound like anything today? Your kids
Speaker 2: going through school and they're re educating them, not teaching
Speaker 2: them about certain parts of history. They're re educating them,
Speaker 2: but they have certain moral values, and maybe they're growing
Speaker 2: up in the church and they're battling with their learning
Speaker 2: in school as opposed to what Israel. Daniel battled the
Speaker 2: same thing he meant. It was meant to assimilate Daniel
Speaker 2: and other young men into a culture and prep them
Speaker 2: to serve the king. He was taught. He was taught
Speaker 2: things like astrology and magic, as well as different Babylonian languages. However,
Speaker 2: Daniel proposed in his heart This is Daniel first, chapter one,
Speaker 2: verse eight, that he would not disobey God, even in
Speaker 2: the midst of the pressure and in temptation. Because of
Speaker 2: his faithfulness and obedience to God. God gave Daniel and
Speaker 2: his friends Hanaiah, Michel, and Azraah knowledge and skill in
Speaker 2: all literature and wisdom, and Daniel had been understanding visions
Speaker 2: through dreams. This is Daniel Chapter one, verse seventeen. You see,
Speaker 2: Daniel had been given these things by God, but the
Speaker 2: world around him was saying, I don't know about that.
Speaker 2: You need to learn this, this, this, and this. Don't
Speaker 2: worry about those mumbo jumbo things that have been given
Speaker 2: to you. This is still going onto You don't even
Speaker 2: have to be a non believer. Rutr Did you say,
Speaker 2: raydy well Scooby, I'm about to tell you. You may
Speaker 2: be sitting there and you're a non believer. I'm talking
Speaker 2: to you about an almighty king that loves you more
Speaker 2: than anything in this world, and you're like, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just want to stick to my conformed world that
Speaker 2: I know about. You're going through it right now too.
Speaker 2: Us believers go through it every single day. We're all
Speaker 2: in it together. Going back to One Peter, Chapter two,
Speaker 2: verse nine, you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood,
Speaker 2: a holy nation, a people for his own possession. Oh God,
Speaker 2: I don't like that word possession. I'm on my own person.
Speaker 2: I'm yolo yo. It's all about me. No, it's not.
Speaker 2: It's about a greater world around you. And he has
Speaker 2: you wrapped in his arms, hugging you. It's like when
Speaker 2: you get a hug from that aunt around Christmas time
Speaker 2: and you're like, don't stop hugging me. This is weird,
Speaker 2: it feels gross. They're just trying to show you love.
Speaker 2: And this is what our amazing, grateful father is trying
Speaker 2: to deal with you right now and me. As we
Speaker 2: go through this scripture, what else does will Graham have
Speaker 2: to say about what's going on in Daniel's life In
Speaker 2: the Bible, we fast forward to the centuries to today.
Speaker 2: You haven't been captured and carried away and throw into
Speaker 2: a far land. But the society around you, as I
Speaker 2: just spoke of, perhaps looks unfamiliar and troubling, even you
Speaker 2: non believers. It looks troubling, right, You're like, I don't
Speaker 2: know about Dad. That's crazy, that's some you know, that's
Speaker 2: some brainwash type stuff. I used to believe that, by
Speaker 2: the way, But young people like Daniel in his day
Speaker 2: are especially being led astray and introduced by a culture
Speaker 2: that is largely opposite of the life we're being called
Speaker 2: as followers of Christ. You're being led into a world
Speaker 2: of LGBTQ. You're being led into a world where in
Speaker 2: the Bible it says a woman shall not be with
Speaker 2: a woman and a man shall not be with a man.
Speaker 2: I know you non believers out there, really just like,
Speaker 2: how dare he? He is casting his righteous values upon us.
Speaker 2: It's not my value values, it's Godly values. And when
Speaker 2: you learn the relationship with the Lord, you're gonna feel
Speaker 2: the same convictions. You may be feeling that conviction right now.
Speaker 2: And it's okay. I'm not here to cast any magical
Speaker 2: spells on you to take you away from anything. I'm
Speaker 2: here to spread the word and the gospel of Jesus
Speaker 2: Christ and allow it to grow in your heart. He's
Speaker 2: gonna do the rest. You're going to develop a personal relationship.
Speaker 2: I can feel it because the relationships of this world
Speaker 2: are just not working for you. He goes on, saying,
Speaker 2: with so many prevalent temptations all around us, it would
Speaker 2: be easy to assimilate and enjoy all the world has
Speaker 2: to offer. Right. We are living in a world of freedom, right.
Speaker 2: We're out there and we're having sex with this person,
Speaker 2: having sex with that person. We're enjoying the relations here.
Speaker 2: We're enjoying the relacation there. But I don't understand why
Speaker 2: I started to get any kind of sickness in my
Speaker 2: body because I've been with that person, this person and
Speaker 2: that person. It's okay to drink and do drug. Give
Speaker 2: me that needle over there. I know it's clean. I
Speaker 2: stop there, because that's the world we're living in. We're
Speaker 2: living in a Sodom and Gomorah state right now. And
Speaker 2: if you know anything about Sodom and Gomorah, they were
Speaker 2: men were having sex with men, women were having sex
Speaker 2: with women. They were men dressing up as women. They
Speaker 2: were enjoying the so called finer things of life. Right,
Speaker 2: But they weren't following God in this angered God, and yes,
Speaker 2: God can be angered. He is a good, good father,
Speaker 2: just like any kind of person you look up to
Speaker 2: in this world down here, they're gonna look at you
Speaker 2: once in a while and say what are you doing?
Speaker 2: And they do it out of love. Though we look
Speaker 2: when we're non believers at God when he gets angry
Speaker 2: as this casting god that hates us, he loves us.
Speaker 2: He's looking at us, going what are you doing? I
Speaker 2: have laid out the plans before you. You just have
Speaker 2: to follow those steps and those paths through the good
Speaker 2: old Bi b A Lee, the basic constructions before leaving earth.
Speaker 2: But you're not doing it. You're not doing it because
Speaker 2: you want to do it on your own accord. Well,
Speaker 2: you wonder why that you've fallen into a ditch. You
Speaker 2: wonder why that you can't keep crawling out of that ditch,
Speaker 2: and when you do get to the top, you walk
Speaker 2: a little bit and fall again. We can't do it
Speaker 2: on our own. God is there right now talking to
Speaker 2: you and I saying what are you doing? What are
Speaker 2: you doing? Will goes on and says, with so many
Speaker 2: prevalent temptations all around us, it would be easy to
Speaker 2: assimilate and enjoy all the world has to offer, like
Speaker 2: I just said. However, like Daniel, we must propose in
Speaker 2: our hearts to serve Jesus and him alone. And that's hard.
Speaker 2: That may be hard for somebody out there who doesn't
Speaker 2: have a mother and a father, or maybe had a
Speaker 2: leader in their life. And it's hard for you to
Speaker 2: look at somebody like Jesus who you can't see in
Speaker 2: front of you, to be your personal lord and savior
Speaker 2: when you didn't have a leader on this earth. That
Speaker 2: should be even more of a calling for you to
Speaker 2: turn to something to help lead your life when you
Speaker 2: haven't had it here throughout your life on earth. We
Speaker 2: must feast on the things of the Lord rather than
Speaker 2: the evils of this age. There's a lot of evil
Speaker 2: out there. We're seeing it everywhere. We're seeing it in
Speaker 2: movies such as Wicked, where you've seen the performers now
Speaker 2: that have looked very healthy now turning into these ghoulish
Speaker 2: looking characters. And you may giggle when I say that,
Speaker 2: but you can't deny their transformation. Is not of this world,
Speaker 2: and it's not of a heavenly world as either. And
Speaker 2: it's not just Wicked, it's all around us. I mean
Speaker 2: they even called it Wicked for a reason. The music
Speaker 2: you listen to, the social media craze right now of
Speaker 2: six seven was created by a man who is not
Speaker 2: believing in God, but he believes in other dark forces.
Speaker 2: This is scary. We need to open our eyes. And
Speaker 2: he says it right there, we must feast our things
Speaker 2: of the Lord rather than the evils of this age.
Speaker 2: We're seeing the evils of this age still to this
Speaker 2: day in twenty twenty five. So how do we do that?
Speaker 2: When I want to improve my health, I not only
Speaker 2: eat good things but stay away from the bad. It's
Speaker 2: the same thing spiritually. We talk about this on the
Speaker 2: show all the time. We must consume the Word of
Speaker 2: God and talk daily to our sustainer and prayer while
Speaker 2: pursuing righteousness and avoiding these worldly temptations. As we do,
Speaker 2: God will not only give wisdom and understanding, but I
Speaker 2: believe opportunities to share His hope with those around us.
Speaker 2: That's what William Graham closes on with our workout today.
Speaker 2: It's a strong workout, right, but we're not done there.
Speaker 2: I want to touch on something where he says we
Speaker 2: must consume the Word of God and talk daily to
Speaker 2: him through prayer. Prayer is the key to it all.
Speaker 2: You may not know how to pray, and in the
Speaker 2: month of January, We're gonna do a spiritual boot camp again,
Speaker 2: laced around prayer. How do I pray? How do I
Speaker 2: read the Bible. We're going to start the new year
Speaker 2: off right from the beginning, and I'm gonna be right
Speaker 2: there with you. I am no greater than anybody else,
Speaker 2: because sometimes I need to get back to basics. We
Speaker 2: forget the basic things like prayer and just opening the Bible.
Speaker 2: Then it may lead to a conviction in your heart
Speaker 2: to start finding a church that suits you, maybe a
Speaker 2: small group that suits you. There's all types of groups
Speaker 2: like that out there. I'm starting one next year just
Speaker 2: for the guys, where we get together and do manly
Speaker 2: things and then lace it around scripture. We'll watch sporting events,
Speaker 2: We'll watch comedy shows. Yes, we can laugh and watch comedy.
Speaker 2: We'll also talk about Valentine's Day where we need to
Speaker 2: be more loving unto others. We need to be spiritual
Speaker 2: leaders in our home. There are groups like that in
Speaker 2: your area, but you have to do the work and
Speaker 2: dig to find it. We think that God has this
Speaker 2: magical genie and we can just rub this lamp and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden poof, there he is. We don't
Speaker 2: use a magical lamp. We use the power of prayer.
Speaker 2: Dear Lord, help me. I don't know how to pray.
Speaker 2: But this guy on a podcast, this guy on social media,
Speaker 2: this guy or a woman that put up a video
Speaker 2: post that it was talking about prayer. And you're gonna
Speaker 2: start to see this come across your feed more. You're
Speaker 2: gonna see prayer. You're gonna see God and he's calling
Speaker 2: to you. He's knocking on the door waiting for you
Speaker 2: to open. But you need to sustain to going to
Speaker 2: Him through prayer. This is how we pursue righteousness and
Speaker 2: avoid worldly temptations. Will you slip into worldly temptations from
Speaker 2: time time? Yes, I do it from time to time,
Speaker 2: But when I get into prayer, it's just something about it.
Speaker 2: Then when I get into the Word and I start
Speaker 2: studying the scriptures, even if I don't understand what they mean,
Speaker 2: at times, I'm walking with Him. And that's what you
Speaker 2: need to do. We got to try to stay away
Speaker 2: from worldly temptation and put the full armor of God
Speaker 2: on us daily. You'll hear that in your walk with Christ.
Speaker 2: Look up the full armor of God. But let's cool down.
Speaker 2: I think we worked out hard enough right, we are
Speaker 2: on a roll. We worked out hard enough in this episode,
Speaker 2: but let's cool down with some prayer. Dear God, Lord,
Speaker 2: give me the strength to remain different from the culture
Speaker 2: I live in, and help me serve you alone. Remind
Speaker 2: me to rely on you when I face temptations and distractions.
Speaker 2: We pray in the precious name of Jesus. Amen. And
Speaker 2: you know that concludes our day six of this thirty
Speaker 2: day Spiritual boot Camp. And we're not going to get
Speaker 2: through all thirty days, but we may do it throughout
Speaker 2: the year. Highly advise you starting with books like this,
Speaker 2: easy to read, simple to start, gives you some scripture
Speaker 2: and helps you say, wow, let me dig into the
Speaker 2: Bible a little bit more. Again. It's called the Thirty
Speaker 2: Days Spiritual boot Camp by the Grams. We're bringing you
Speaker 2: the most weekend throughout the month of December on Monday
Speaker 2: and Wednesdays. We want you to get through the weekend
Speaker 2: with prayer or maybe finding a church. Maybe you're still
Speaker 2: a non believer sitting around here not knowing. If you're
Speaker 2: a non believer and you're wondering what this is all about,
Speaker 2: and you wonder why you keep stumbling upon things of
Speaker 2: God and things of Jesus, because there's a spiritual renewing
Speaker 2: happening in this country and in this world. We're tired
Speaker 2: of the things happening. We're tired of the hate, We're
Speaker 2: tired of the division. We're tired of seeing things on
Speaker 2: the news where this guy's doing that and this country's
Speaker 2: doing this. We want to rest in the Lord. Man.
Speaker 2: Ever since I've been resting in the Lord, I don't
Speaker 2: care about that stuff out there, and I keep my
Speaker 2: eyes focused on Jesus. I'm like, man, all right, he's coming.
Speaker 2: I know I'm saved, But what about you? Are you saved?
Speaker 2: Do you know if you're saved and if you're not
Speaker 2: saved to be caught up in the ways of the world.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be caught up in the Book of Revelation.
Speaker 2: Don't go in there just yet. Don't go in there
Speaker 2: just yet, because your mind will be blown. You'll see
Speaker 2: that there will be wars and the speaking of wars.
Speaker 2: You will see nations coming upon nations. You will start
Speaker 2: to see famine. You'll to see this and start to
Speaker 2: see that, and you're not saved, and you're gonna be
Speaker 2: stuck in that turmoil and torment. And then when you're
Speaker 2: not saved, you think that turmoil and torment is enough. Well,
Speaker 2: if you're not saved, you're gonna be cast into the
Speaker 2: lake of fire. Would you rather go on vacation on
Speaker 2: a beach or would you rather be thrown into a volcano?
Speaker 2: Answer that question, because this is your opportunity a plane
Speaker 2: tipic now to go to the beach. How so by
Speaker 2: turning your life over to the Lord, and I can
Speaker 2: feel it and all you have to do right now,
Speaker 2: wherever you may be, open up your arms, close your eyes,
Speaker 2: and repeat after me. Dear God, I am a sinner.
Speaker 2: I send falls short the glory of God. But I
Speaker 2: want to sin no longer. I want to make you
Speaker 2: my personal Lord and savior. I believe you're a real
Speaker 2: that you were born, you died and raised on the
Speaker 2: third Day for your victory and mine. Dear Lord, make
Speaker 2: me new, wash me of these sins, allow me to
Speaker 2: follow you and make you my personal Lord and savior
Speaker 2: until the end of my days. Dear Lord, I love
Speaker 2: you and thank you, and I'm just touching the tip
Speaker 2: of the iceberg with you, but please don't let me go.
Speaker 2: Dear Lord, thank you for saving my life. We pray
Speaker 2: in the precious name of Jesus. Amen. If you just
Speaker 2: repeated that prayer, Welcome to the most elusive club in
Speaker 2: the world, as you now are a part of walking
Speaker 2: with Christ. You're VIP. Now what do I do, Katie, Well,
Speaker 2: jump in the Bible, Go in the Book of Proverbs.
Speaker 2: Get yourself a book like the thirty Day Spiritual boot
Speaker 2: Camp thirty day Spiritual Workout. Start with something like that.
Speaker 2: Start with something little, a devotional where you can read
Speaker 2: just one passage a story, and then you'll open up
Speaker 2: the Bible the Proverbs chapter one and two, and three,
Speaker 2: then four, go all the way through thirty one of them,
Speaker 2: which is about thirty one days in each month. Everything
Speaker 2: is amazingly designed by Him. And then you want to
Speaker 2: get closer to Jesus. Study about the Disciples, Matthew, Mark,
Speaker 2: loub John, study them all, Paul and the Bible. They
Speaker 2: knew who Jesus was, They know his heart and so
Speaker 2: will you. Again, guys, thanks for listening. We'll see you
Speaker 2: on the flip side Monday for another Spiritual boot Camp
Speaker 2: Day seven. Get ready, you're on fire now and you
Speaker 2: want more of that. We love you, guys. Thank you
Speaker 2: for supporting again. Make sure you like, love, and share
Speaker 2: on all social media outlets again. That's let's get biblical
Speaker 2: with Katie. Take care, guys, God bless
