1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Welcome to the three Stories version of the Todd Hermer Show. 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,519 Story number one, so these guys think God provides too 3 00:00:05,599 --> 00:00:09,759 much sunlight, so they're stealing it from us. That's real, 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,279 But geo engineering guess that's fake. But that's that's story 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,800 number one. Story number two, President Trump reminds us how 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,760 we built the car. I'll explain. And story number three 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:29,519 a fake woman pasture with fake teaching on Jesus who 8 00:00:30,079 --> 00:00:37,280 went out to murder a tree because the tree was 9 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,880 a woman or something. We'll talk about this with the 10 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,600 help of go visible dot com and God Almighty. 11 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 2: But Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big 12 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,799 pharma technocrats. 13 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: And Tyrant's everywhere. 14 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,799 Speaker 2: From the hind Mountains of Free and here's the Emerald 15 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,359 City exile. 16 00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:21,079 Speaker 1: Todd Herman. Today is a day the Lord has made, 17 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,519 and these are the times to which God has decided 18 00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:26,799 we shall live. There are a lot of things we 19 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,000 could talk about in society today, but there is an 20 00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:34,439 overarching theme I think for America twenty twenty five, nay, 21 00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:38,439 actually the world's twenty twenty five, and it is the 22 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,840 war between the people who live in the realm of ideas, 23 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,920 fantasy and wealth. And folks who live in the reality 24 00:01:47,079 --> 00:01:50,519 of day to day tactical staying alive and wanting to 25 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,280 do good job. Maybe not a great job, not a 26 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,400 brilliant job maybe, but a good job would be great. 27 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,280 With their families. They want to grow family connections, they 28 00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:05,920 want to create let's say, generational emotional wealth, explaining that 29 00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:10,039 they want their kids to be balanced people, contributors to society. 30 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,039 And then there are people who have achieved enough financially 31 00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:16,840 and have convinced themselves that they're enough like gods that 32 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,120 they're going to go act like gods. They come from 33 00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:22,280 the realm of ideas. And there was long ago, a 34 00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:23,840 couple of years ago, a paper written. I wish I 35 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,199 could remember the guy write, because there was a fast 36 00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:29,240 standing paper and it was about the invasion of meatland meatlands. 37 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,879 Let me explain what that means. Back in the day, 38 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,319 there was a very cynical phrase that people would use 39 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,280 for models, you know, fashion models. They'd call them meat 40 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,919 puppets because they were that's you know, they're writing their 41 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,439 bodies around for money. It's not their brinds. They might 42 00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:48,280 be brilliant people, but that's not why they're there. They're 43 00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:50,120 meat Puppets. There was a band, great band called the 44 00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:52,560 Meat Puppets. In fact, the lead guitarists used a pokertship 45 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,120 to player instead of a guitar pick. But the people 46 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,439 who live in theory land, the coding land, right code 47 00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:04,599 into computers, they have begun to invade Meatland or bodies. 48 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,319 Now this isn't about invading bodies. It's actually about invading 49 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:13,439 the sky. I am blown away that a company that 50 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:22,120 has decided to block you from having sunny days is 51 00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:27,199 allowed to block you from having sunny days. And I'm 52 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,479 not saying I think they're doing this. They promote this, 53 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,240 they pretend to have customers who are paying for this. 54 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,439 It's called make sunsets. And I've never seen anything so 55 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,560 corrupt in my life. And I'll explain this to you 56 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,800 in a second. And look, hey, give them credit. These 57 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,000 guys have been making a lot of money at attack 58 00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:55,759 for a long time. They're very smart people, they're probably 59 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,599 utterly brilliant people. But I've never seen anything so corrupt 60 00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:01,439 in my life. And we live in a nation of corruption. 61 00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:04,960 President Trump with Liberation Day when he came out and 62 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,680 announced the tariffs, and he did a great job of 63 00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:09,919 showing This is just us becoming equal with the rest 64 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,039 of the world. I see the Wall Street Journal panic 65 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,520 to know it's retaliatory, and the stock market took a hit. 66 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,319 President Trump said, look, there's going to be some temporary pain. 67 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,399 Stick with me.

It says right here with 89 00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:33,160 a picture of the two founders with one of their balloons, 90 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,680 they launch into the sky to spew chemicals upon us, 91 00:05:36,199 --> 00:05:39,399 or chemicals or minerals. I'll explain this a second. We 92 00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:44,240 cool the Earth. Actually phrase quote we cool Earth with 93 00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:50,079 reflective clouds act. Now, hey, that's tidy.

But we're tech guys, We're bros. 102 00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:24,079 This is from their website, written in the third person. 103 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,120 In twenty fifteen, they met in San Francisco, California, through 104 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,120 their shared passion for hardware companies and helping entrepreneurs go 105 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,639 from zero to one. While Luke was director of Hardware 106 00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:38,560 at Why Combinator, and Andrew was at an outreach manager 107 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,800 at Indiego Go. Luke and Andrew went on us I 108 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,279 went on the start separate hardware companies backed by y 109 00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:47,480 Combinator Angel investors in vcs. Between the two of them, 110 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,839 they've helped sell millions of dollars worth of hardware and 111 00:06:49,879 --> 00:06:52,800 software at various venture backed startups. Now they have the 112 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,560 privilege to build a company that will help future generations 113 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,680 combat the worst effects of climate change, and they explain 114 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,160 in their own website what it means to cool earth 115 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:11,079 on behalf of their customers and everybody else. Now, I 116 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,759 want you to think for a moment with me about 117 00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,879 the hubris involved in people who are willing to do 118 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,879 this and affect everybody. What are you doing? We're using 119 00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:24,759 balloons to launch reflective clouds into the stratosphere. Why unless 120 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,439 we reflect sunlight, tens of millions of people will die, 121 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,680 twenty or percent or so of species may go extinct. 122 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,160 How do you know this will work? We're coppering nature 123 00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:39,800 in nineteen ninety one. Now Pinatubo, a strato volcano, cooled 124 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,000 the Earth by nine tenths of a degree fahrenheit for 125 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,399 over a year. How do you make sunsets? Clouds stand 126 00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:50,519 in the sky. Depending on the altitude and latitude at 127 00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:53,000 which we release them, they'll stay there between six months 128 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:58,040 and three years. And this is okay. This is a 129 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,360 private This is a private company that has decided that 130 00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:05,160 they're going to make you live with cooler days. You 131 00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:07,560 like beach days, Nay, you don't get one. You like 132 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:08,839 to go to the lake on a hot day. No 133 00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:13,720 hot days for you. They brag about what they do 134 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,720 in videos and interviews with so called customers. They brag 135 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,920 about their balloons. Seven balloons carrying twenty two pounds of 136 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:28,160 sulfur dioxide up into the sky, and they're showing themselves 137 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:33,519 doing it. Tracker six hundred and seventy five cooling credits 138 00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:36,080 deployed at seventy four eight hundred and sixty two feet 139 00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,360 seventy six thousand, seven and sixty one. That lasts for 140 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,720 a year in the sky. Learn more at makesunsets dot com. 141 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,519 And there goes the balloon load with sulfur oxide. What 142 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,559 if you don't want that sulfur doxide on you. Wait, 143 00:08:51,639 --> 00:08:55,120 we're bros. You'd understand. We made a bunch of money 144 00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:58,480 at why Combinator, we sold hardware in stuff in America. 145 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,720 We made capitalist money. But I don't want sulfur doxide 146 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:10,159 on me. But we're bros. This is axiomatic to the world, 147 00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:14,960 with the people who run the world saying our products 148 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,840 and approaches to things are so good they must be 149 00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:22,519 forced upon. You look at the ev mandates that were 150 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,399 all the rage until Elon Musk decided to come along 151 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,120 and try to cut government spending and get rid of 152 00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:32,399 government fraud. It was so good we had to force it. 153 00:09:32,919 --> 00:09:36,720 They talked to some of their customers. These aren't customers. 154 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,639 If I go and let's say, for let's let's let's 155 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,639 let's just let's just draw this out. This they're calling 156 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,600 these guys customers. If you came home and your house 157 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,759 was painted orange and green, and you were little shocks. 158 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,320 My house used to be a nice gray color. Now 159 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,960 it's orange and green stripes. You might be upset. You 160 00:09:59,039 --> 00:10:01,559 might even call the police and say, well, wait, someone 161 00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:05,360 painted my house, and the police might say, yeah, you know, 162 00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:07,679 we're getting a lot of calls about this there's a 163 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,399 company called Make Striped Houses. A customer paid for that, 164 00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,320 but it's my house. Yeah, but a customer paid. There's 165 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,799 nothing we can do. It's a civil offense at best. 166 00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:22,000 I don't want so far doc sat on me. I 167 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,200 don't want you to play God. I don't want you 168 00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:27,080 to mimic volcanoes. If you want to mimic them in 169 00:10:27,159 --> 00:10:30,879 your house, that's one thing, but not in my sky. 170 00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:35,720 And it's deadly. Just so you know, God hasn't gone anywhere. 171 00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:40,360 He's not closed his eyes, he's not asleep, he's not 172 00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:43,159 taking a break, and he's not going to be mocked. 173 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,720 Because I think if you were to ask God how 174 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,799 he set up the planet, I might he say, you know, 175 00:10:47,919 --> 00:10:50,120 I might know some things you don't know. There's a 176 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,559 chance I might see things you don't see. I might 177 00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:55,279 in fact have existed and always existed. And he has 178 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,879 and he always will, and so he set things up 179 00:10:57,919 --> 00:11:00,960 in a certain way. And yeah, these guys do this, 180 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,200 and he created them, and they don't know that, probably 181 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,519 because they think that their own gods. So they go 182 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,200 out and they get customers. This is a Make Sunsets 183 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,960 customer talking about why he pays money to rain down, 184 00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:15,840 sulfur dixide, and people he will never meet against their will, 185 00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:18,039 you know, tell me just a little bit more about yourself. 186 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 4: Well, right here in Austin, Texas, I am in that 187 00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:26,279 group that you might call a climate dad's. I had 188 00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:28,360 a lot of interest in stem if. 189 00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: I had heard about this. 190 00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 4: In the geology time back of the year two thousand. 191 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: I am trying so hard. I am tried so hard 192 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,200 to not say what wants to come out of my 193 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,600 flesh about this dude. And what I want to say 194 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:51,120 is you, oh, jah man, Oh, I'm trying hard. Bro Listen, sir, 195 00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:57,240 oh make your body more efficient. That's I mean. I 196 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,279 used to weigh four hundred pounds. Are about their can I 197 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,440 just tell you something. You you were producing so much 198 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,639 carbon dioxide. You don't need to be bro. I'm just 199 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,279 let me just let them continue. 200 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 4: There was a geologist that studied strado volcanoes that they've 201 00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:14,559 been studying extensively. So from that point I've been interested 202 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,080 in it. I didn't realize how necessary it was until recently, 203 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,919 and I've been telling people about it through videos on Facebook. 204 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,120 I've been telling people about it that I know. 205 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,879 Speaker 1: Scott Thompson, if I decided to have cats come and 206 00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:35,159 urinate on your house to discourage you from doing certain things? 207 00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:37,840 Would that be okay? If I launched a balloon filled 208 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,679 with cat urine to no, let's do it this way. 209 00:12:40,799 --> 00:12:43,039 I got this, and I actually asked to make sun 210 00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:45,240 sens people this and then we'll get back to Scott Thompson. 211 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,080 This customer. If I decided to launch balloons with cat 212 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,759 urine to spray all over your RVs that you use 213 00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:52,559 when you launch these balloons in the sky, can I 214 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,440 do that? Would that be okay? Just to describe, I mean, 215 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,039 I'd be saving the earth. You don't want to touch 216 00:12:57,039 --> 00:12:59,600 your car when it's been sprayed with cat urine out 217 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,240 of my bullet wounds. A little bit more from their 218 00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:04,440 so called customer, Scott Thompson really. 219 00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:08,519 Speaker 4: Was predicting or hoping that something like makes sunsets would 220 00:13:08,519 --> 00:13:10,919 come along, and so for that reason we just want 221 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:11,840 to say thanks. 222 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: You know, there are different other climate intervention like solar 223 00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:20,080 radiation management companies or juice that are focused on this. 224 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,360 You've mentioned in the past. Uh, your okay, I can't 225 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,039 And when I say this, I'm not being a force 226 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,039 in your girl. I literally can't even let this continue, 227 00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:32,000 because I can feel my flesh rising to the degree 228 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,600 that I want very much to say a customer paid 229 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,519 me to come and slap you just wants. Don't do it, vile. 230 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,320 This is bad turned to the cheek. Okay, Lord, help 231 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,879 me deliver this in the proper way. I think I 232 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,480 choose God. I think i'll choose his view of sunsets. 233 00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:57,039 I think I'll trust him to have set up the 234 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,720 Earth to handle people, because I'm I'm going to take 235 00:14:00,799 --> 00:14:03,799 a wild guess. 236 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:11,759 Speaker 5: God probably saw internal combustion engines coming. He probably knew 237 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,399 that people were going to build buildings and make ships. 238 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,279 The Earth can probably handle God's. 239 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: Masterpiece because he created us in his image. Story number two. 240 00:14:26,559 --> 00:14:31,600 I saw a great explanation of a liberation Day from someone, 241 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,399 and I wish i'd grabbed this off of Twitter. It 242 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,240 made a huge impression on me, and then I failed 243 00:14:37,279 --> 00:14:39,480 to grab it because it's a great way to explain 244 00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:43,399 what President Trump had done when he explained Liberation Day, 245 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,960 and he came out and of course announced Liberation Day. 246 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,960 He's done a fantastic job of warning us there's going 247 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,039 to be pain anytime you've put off dealing with a 248 00:14:53,039 --> 00:14:55,759 big problem. There's going to be pain if you've had 249 00:14:55,759 --> 00:14:58,120 a relationship go south and you refuse to talk about it. 250 00:14:58,159 --> 00:14:59,960 When you eventually begin talking about it, there's going to 251 00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:02,480 a lot of things to deal with. If you've gone 252 00:15:02,559 --> 00:15:05,240 years without exercising and you've gotten way way out of shape. 253 00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:07,200 The first time you go hit leg day, Leg Day's 254 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,559 going to suck. If you haven't run a mile in 255 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,399 twenty years, decided to go out run a mile, it's 256 00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:15,600 gonna hurt because you put this off. We've put off 257 00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:19,639 doing something to our economy, not necessarily tariffs, but something 258 00:15:19,639 --> 00:15:23,080 to economy for a long time as we become structurally bankrupt. 259 00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:27,039 President Trump announced Liberation Day, and then I saw this 260 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,639 fantastic explanation for what he's really doing. 261 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,639 Speaker 3: My fellow Americans, this is Liberation Day waiting for a 262 00:15:34,679 --> 00:15:41,080 long time. April second, twenty twenty five will forever be 263 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,840 remembered as the day American industry was reborn, the day 264 00:15:45,919 --> 00:15:50,240 America's destiny was reclaimed, and the day that we began 265 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,639 to make America wealthy again. 266 00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:57,679 Speaker 1: I always going to have the Mala Maha, that's very 267 00:15:57,759 --> 00:16:01,320 much President Trump's branding. So I saw this explanation. I 268 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,159 want to share with you, and it goes straight to 269 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:08,080 the heart of what President Trump surrendered to his own 270 00:16:08,679 --> 00:16:15,960 best instincts. Business President Trump, CEO Trump is the best 271 00:16:16,039 --> 00:16:18,799 Trump in my mind because there's a clarity. I'm explaining 272 00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:21,759 this in just a second. There's a clarity in your 273 00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:24,879 body and it's very very clear, particularly from men of 274 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,399 any age. We want to have muscle, women too. Mean 275 00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:30,799 percentage of muscle in your body is a great predictor 276 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,000 of your longevity and your health overall. If you don't 277 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,600 want to lose muscle, first step is to keep the 278 00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:40,600 muscle you have. Mass symes from bioptimizers will help you 279 00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:43,080 do that. There's a myth. The myth is that protein 280 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,399 builds muscle. It doesn't. Protein has to be broken down 281 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:51,639 into amino acids, specifically branch chain aminos. They build muscle. 282 00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:56,360 That's what happens. Bioptimizers product mass symes. In a side 283 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,440 by side test from Birch International University in Bosnia showed 284 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,799 that people who take mass times people like me, produce 285 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,799 sixteen hundred times more amino acids in their bodies than 286 00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:11,960 people who don't take it. People maybe like you. At 287 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,759 the age of fifty eight, my body fat percentage is 288 00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:18,920 about nine point nine percent, and my muscle's pretty high. 289 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,240 And I credit a lot of that to Mass Simes 290 00:17:21,279 --> 00:17:23,720 and of course working out and eating properly.

President Trump spoke 297 00:17:43,319 --> 00:17:47,880 about no longer surrendering, and in this he's surrendering to 298 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,240 his best instincts, that is CEO Trump, and a Twitter 299 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,960 user called this out in a beautiful, beautiful way. 300 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,039 Speaker 3: United States can no longer continue with a policy of 301 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,599 unilateral economic surrender. Cannot pay the deficits of Canada and 302 00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:05,240 Mexico and so many other countries. We used to do it, 303 00:18:05,279 --> 00:18:07,480 we can't do it anymore. We take care of countries 304 00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:10,359 all over the world. We pay for the military, We 305 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,599 pay for everything they have to pay. And then when 306 00:18:13,599 --> 00:18:15,240 you want to cut back a little bit, they get 307 00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:17,079 upset that you're not taking care of them. 308 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 2: Any longer. 309 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 3: But we have to take care of our people, and 310 00:18:19,759 --> 00:18:21,599 we're going to take care of our people first. And 311 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:22,759 I'm sorry to say that. 312 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,519 Speaker 1: It's interesting since I'm sorry to say that maybe. 313 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 3: The resistant today we're standing up for the American worker 314 00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:34,599 and we are finally putting America first. 315 00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:38,759 Speaker 1: There's going to be pain in this. There's pain anytime 316 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,119 you make wholesale change. But we have to have change. 317 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,839 To be structurally bankrupt means it's not a matter of 318 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,359 if you go bankrupt, it's when. Just like if a 319 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,279 building is structurally dangerous, it's not a matter of if 320 00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:54,480 it's going to fall down, it's when, and who's in 321 00:18:54,519 --> 00:18:57,279 that building. I wish i'd grabbed the name of this 322 00:18:57,319 --> 00:19:00,000 Twitter user. I forgot to bookmark this. But President Trump 323 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,759 also spoke about the beginnings of American economic greatness and 324 00:19:04,839 --> 00:19:13,200 dominance was predicated upon tariffs, not income tax. Income tax 325 00:19:13,279 --> 00:19:16,359 is relatively new, and it was sold to the American 326 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,880 people as it will only ever be for the ultra rich, 327 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,319 the top five to ten percent. Then of course it metastasized, 328 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,079 and it in fact punishes employers who hire employees because 329 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,839 you pay a head tax. In many states, you pay 330 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,519 multiple loves of head tax. A Twitter user pointed this out. 331 00:19:35,079 --> 00:19:38,799 President Trump isn't reinventing the wheel, because that's what people 332 00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:41,000 have said. Oh, tariffs are an old idea. He's reinventing 333 00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:44,759 the wheel. No, he's not. What President Trump is doing 334 00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:49,200 as CEO Trump is he's reminding the United States of 335 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:56,519 America how we built the car, the economic engine that 336 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,400 was unequaled in history. A lot of that is freedom 337 00:20:01,279 --> 00:20:04,640 that's being threatened. But President Trump is bringing freedom back. 338 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,480 A lot of that was free enterprise, big government, and 339 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,960 the China model where government is business threatened that reducing 340 00:20:13,039 --> 00:20:18,480 regulation brings that back. Changing our income method from punishing 341 00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:23,640 earners to tariffs is a huge change, and it's reminding 342 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,240 us of how we built the car in the first place. 343 00:20:27,319 --> 00:20:32,599 Story number three, there's a fake woman pastorn. Okay, that's unfair. 344 00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:36,559 That's unfair. She's a minister, that's her title. She's a 345 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,880 minister of Blossom Hill Mennonite Church and her name is 346 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,960 Jennifer B. Miller, and she delivered a fake teaching on 347 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,039 a real portion of the Bible where she contends that 348 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:57,839 Jesus Christ decided to unalive a tree, but the reason 349 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,480 he unlived the tree, and I think she even admits 350 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,680 this is not related to her allegation at all. She 351 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,079 even admits, I'm not really what I'm saying is not true, 352 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,640 but I'm saying it. And she began her sermon in 353 00:21:12,759 --> 00:21:17,759 a I guess, deeply emotional way, and then she continued 354 00:21:17,799 --> 00:21:24,839 on to explain, uh, the gender of this this tree 355 00:21:25,279 --> 00:21:29,079 who so wanted kids? The tree just couldn't have kids 356 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:29,680 in the world. 357 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,759 Speaker 6: So when I engage with this parable about the fig 358 00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:36,880 tree facing its possible execution, I'm rattled. 359 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 1: All right, it's about a fig tree, but not to her, 360 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,599 except to her because she later comes on and says, okay, 361 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,200 that that teaching I just did, that's all not real. 362 00:21:51,079 --> 00:21:54,200 So let me explain this in just a second. God, 363 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:59,079 in addition to making all the trees made family, God 364 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,480 invented family. He invented our bodies. He knows the code 365 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,759 in our bodies because He wrote the code in our bodies. 366 00:22:05,519 --> 00:22:08,000 And he knows from time to time our bodies are 367 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,720 going to need help, hopefully through food and health, but 368 00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:16,319 sometimes through medicine. And to my mind, the best medicine 369 00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:21,839 comes as close as you can from God. Hy docxychlorquin ivermectin, 370 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000 antibiotics are pretty simple medicines and they're pretty potent. And 371 00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:29,720 there were techuocratic medical people during the height of the 372 00:22:29,759 --> 00:22:32,640 COVID stuff who decided you can't have that. There were 373 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,000 the same people who saying who said, don't go out 374 00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:37,119 in sunlight, don't get vitamin D, don't use vitamin C. 375 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,720 What are you crazy? Stay inside, locked inside, and put 376 00:22:39,759 --> 00:22:41,519 a mask on your face to grow back cherry on 377 00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:45,680 your face. There are companies like All Family Pharmacy that 378 00:22:45,759 --> 00:22:49,640 have stood into the medical freedom world and provided hydroxychloroquin, 379 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:55,079 ivermectin and antibiotics upfront. But All Family Pharmacy stands above. 380 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,839 They're unique. Why Number one, they're real pharmacy. They have 381 00:22:57,839 --> 00:23:00,279 a brick and mortar location. It's a real business. Could 382 00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:03,039 walk in and touch it. You could go shake hands 383 00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:05,359 with the two brothers who run it. You might even 384 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,480 run into their mom because she does the books for 385 00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:10,359 the guys. They've been standing for medical freedom for a 386 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:15,559 long while, providing ivermectin, hydroxylchloroicoin, and antibiotics. And they're different 387 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,359 from some of the big famous health freedom companies that 388 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,759 are just websites, that's really all They are a website 389 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,039 that collects your data. That data is sold to this 390 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,279 or that anonymous pharmacy, and this is that anonymous doctor. 391 00:23:28,279 --> 00:23:30,880 If you need a prescription, that's not the case. At 392 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,720 All Family Pharmacy. They are the pharmacy. And if you 393 00:23:33,759 --> 00:23:35,799 work with one of the doctors with whom they partner, 394 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,720 you get to know who that doctor is. So if 395 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,279 you have questions about how the medication is making you feel, 396 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,920 you can actually talk to a human because you can't 397 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,119 talk to websites. If you have questions about the dosages 398 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,960 or how to use it, you can actually talk to 399 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,079 the humans at All Family Pharmacy, because you can't talk 400 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,160 to websites, even with their tiny, little, silly, little mean bots. 401 00:23:56,039 --> 00:23:58,480 It's people, not bots at All Family Pharmacy.

Miller 408 00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:27,039 of Blossom Hill Mennonite Church talking about a tree, a tree, 409 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,559 the Missus tree, the woman tree who wanted babies but 410 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,039 just could not have babies, where some would say I'm stomped. 411 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,319 Oh good, you got it. 412 00:24:38,599 --> 00:24:41,279 Speaker 6: I don't understand how someone could look at a perfectly 413 00:24:41,319 --> 00:24:44,640 fine tree and contemplate taking it down when it's only 414 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,960 foible is that it hasn't yet produced figs. It's hard 415 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,839 for me to imagine a valid enough reason for the 416 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,519 chopping down of such a tree, especially when the goal 417 00:24:52,599 --> 00:24:55,119 and planting it in a vineyard might have nothing to 418 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,799 do with the fruit it might produce. 419 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, oh Lord help me. Okay, Jesus didn't chop 420 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:08,839 the tree down. He didn't chop the tree. And while 421 00:25:08,839 --> 00:25:14,920 we're on the topic of Jesus, minister, do you think 422 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:22,920 that the god of the universe might understand things about 423 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,920 trees you don't and might have more wisdom than you 424 00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:33,799 might possibly have had a reason for destroying the tree. 425 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,200 And by the way, if you don't know, because many 426 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,799 people don't, what she's talking about it comes from here's 427 00:25:38,839 --> 00:25:41,920 one instance. Mark chapter eleven, verses twelve through twenty five, 428 00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:45,079 Jesus curses a fig tree and clears the temple courts. 429 00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:47,079 We'll look it did the temple courts part, but that's 430 00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:48,839 a fun part of the Bible. The next day is 431 00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:51,680 they were leaving Bethany. Jesus was hungry seeing in the 432 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,160 distance of fig tree in Leif. He went to find 433 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,240 out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, 434 00:25:56,279 --> 00:25:58,920 he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the 435 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,880 season for figs. And he said to the tree, may 436 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,880 no one ever eat fruit from you again? And the 437 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,960 disciple has heard him say it. Later on they come 438 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,920 back by the tree and the trees it's been unalived. 439 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,160 It's ended. Well, Jesus cursed it. Why do you think 440 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,039 Jesus did that because the tree was insufficient or was 441 00:26:18,079 --> 00:26:23,000 it a teaching opportunity. Jesus spoke a lot about fruits, 442 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,839 the need for us to produce fruits in our life, 443 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,160 and he himself said that he could produce no fruit 444 00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:36,759 without the Father. That's apart from the vine, the branches 445 00:26:36,759 --> 00:26:39,839 of Christ, we can do nothing. And he, apart from 446 00:26:39,839 --> 00:26:44,440 the Father, cannot produce fruit. Jesus was always teaching back 447 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,000 to the minister. 448 00:26:46,039 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 6: Given my experience sitting with women, and couples who have 449 00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:52,160 had difficulty getting pregnant and sometimes have lost a pregnancy 450 00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:54,480 or a child. It's hard for me to read this 451 00:26:54,599 --> 00:26:57,680 parable of an unproductive tree and not hear it from 452 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,640 the perspective of human infertility. 453 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 1: But it's a tree, and Jesus came to fulfill the law, 454 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,039 not to raise it. Jesus grew up on what we 455 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:18,519 call the Bible, and in the Bible in Genesis chapter one, 456 00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:20,640 verse twenty eight, God bless them and said to them, 457 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,599 be fruitful and increase in number. Fill the earth and 458 00:27:23,599 --> 00:27:25,359 subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea, and 459 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,160 the birds in the sky, and over every living creature 460 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,440 that moves on the ground. Another way to say that is, 461 00:27:29,519 --> 00:27:34,200 be fruitful and multiply. In other words, God is pro family. 462 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,160 Jesus is part of the triune God, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, 463 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,880 pro family, pro child, pro marriage. So it's difficult for 464 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,240 you to look at this and not think that Jesus 465 00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:50,559 wanted to get revenge on a female tree. Oh no, 466 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:51,720 she gets to that part. 467 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,079 Speaker 6: Traditional thought, including stories in the Bible, value women for 468 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,799 their ability to produce children. Fertility and biblical times was 469 00:27:58,839 --> 00:28:01,920 thought to rest solely on the shoulders or the wombs 470 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,359 of women. 471 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:10,559 Speaker 1: No, no, oh boy, can I even say this and 472 00:28:10,599 --> 00:28:16,279 not be gross? Men are cautions to not spill their 473 00:28:16,319 --> 00:28:22,720 seed in nonprocreative acts with their lives. Is that clear enough? 474 00:28:23,519 --> 00:28:23,799 Speaker 2: Did that? 475 00:28:24,759 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 1: Alex said? I explain that clearly? Okay, hope so so. Yes, 476 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,880 sometimes women were blamed. Yes, culture was different, But no, 477 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,839 at no time during the biblical times, as Jesus walked 478 00:28:38,839 --> 00:28:43,640 the earth did people not understand the biological function of 479 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,400 the sperm and the egg. 480 00:28:46,279 --> 00:28:49,039 Speaker 6: So if no child came from a couple's sexual relationship, 481 00:28:49,079 --> 00:28:51,720 then the woman was thought to be at fault, barren 482 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000 as it were. People then didn't have the science or 483 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,319 the sense of equity and relationships to understand that the 484 00:28:57,359 --> 00:29:00,599 man's role in the relationship might be contributing to the problem. 485 00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:04,039 The language we use in talking about fertility today contains 486 00:29:04,119 --> 00:29:07,599 vestiges of this blame shame Dynamicay. 487 00:29:06,799 --> 00:29:08,799 Speaker 1: You're about to hear a phrase that I don't know 488 00:29:08,839 --> 00:29:10,640 how many times to hear this Aday. Like, I was 489 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,319 in a convenience store the other day and just paying 490 00:29:13,319 --> 00:29:14,960 for gas because the pump was broken, so I went 491 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,680 and had to give my credit card, and there was 492 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,359 this long conversation using one of these phrases mean you're 493 00:29:19,359 --> 00:29:20,240 probably sick of hearing it. 494 00:29:20,279 --> 00:29:22,559 Speaker 6: So we use terms like incompetent cervix. 495 00:29:24,279 --> 00:29:30,599 Speaker 1: No, we don't, we don't. I looked it up. It's 496 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:37,759 it's a medical phrase that's rarely used in incompetent cervix. 497 00:29:38,839 --> 00:29:40,240 We know no one. 498 00:29:40,359 --> 00:29:44,799 Speaker 6: Failed pregnancy and miscarriage. Not to mention Jerry Gatric mother 499 00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:47,160 a title I was given at the ripe old age 500 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:47,839 of thirty six. 501 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,119 Speaker 1: That's mean that someone said that to you. Are we 502 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,240 getting to the tree parts? 503 00:29:52,319 --> 00:29:55,359 Speaker 6: Even these two thousand years later, women carry the weight 504 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,599 of guilt and shame when the child bearing doesn't go smoothly. 505 00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:09,359 Speaker 1: Wow, golly. I have friends who are dudes who have 506 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:18,759 screwed up sperm counts and feel guilty for that because 507 00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:20,880 they may have done some things semester their bodies up 508 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,400 when they were younger men, and I checked, and they're 509 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,279 not women. But we're getting to the part where the 510 00:30:27,279 --> 00:30:28,400 tree has gender right. 511 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 6: And that is only compounded when we consider the power 512 00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:34,160 dynamics in male female relationships and in the limited voice 513 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,680 of women of color in particular. 514 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:44,119 Speaker 1: Wait, the tree is black, So the tree is a 515 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,000 woman who wanted to have kids. But her husband's a tree. 516 00:30:50,279 --> 00:30:53,079 He was not able to have kids. And it was 517 00:30:53,119 --> 00:30:57,200 the black woman tree's fault. And so Jesus Christ, the 518 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,240 savior of all mankinds, who actually went to the cross 519 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:06,599 for us, he hated the tree because the tree reminded 520 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,720 him of a black woman. 521 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,759 Speaker 6: I see the power dynamics in this parable, and I 522 00:31:11,799 --> 00:31:13,880 hear the shame and how we talk about the fig 523 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,960 trees infertility at any rate, whether the sex of the 524 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,880 fig tree, whatever, the sex of the fig tree is 525 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,039 in this parable. It was not in fruit when the 526 00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:24,440 owner came to check on it, and based on its fruitlessness, 527 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,440 the men involved discussed its fate without the tree having 528 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:28,359 a say in the matter. 529 00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:32,559 Speaker 1: No, Jesus in fact did not discuss it. He did 530 00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:37,160 it and then later talked about why and what he 531 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:43,680 was teaching. We're expected to bear fruit. What does that mean? Well, 532 00:31:43,799 --> 00:31:45,960 part of it is be fruitful and multiply. What else 533 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,480 does it mean? You've been given the seed of faith. 534 00:31:49,839 --> 00:31:52,359 Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior. You receive 535 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,119 the Holy Spirit. Once you have the Holy Spirit, Jesus 536 00:31:56,519 --> 00:32:00,079 had a quest a suggestion. Jesus said, hey, you guys, 537 00:32:00,839 --> 00:32:04,119 if you feel like it, and there's time between NFL 538 00:32:04,119 --> 00:32:06,880 football games and taking the kids to soccer and pizza night, 539 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,720 would you give some thought to maybe thinking about or 540 00:32:10,759 --> 00:32:14,720 considering once a time in your life, maybe once talking 541 00:32:14,759 --> 00:32:16,839 to the world about me. That's a direct quote from 542 00:32:16,839 --> 00:32:24,400 the Bible, not exactly. All power and authority on heaven 543 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,480 and earth has been granted to me. So go and 544 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:32,240 make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name 545 00:32:32,319 --> 00:32:34,680 of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching 546 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:40,279 them to follow all I've commanded, and surely I will 547 00:32:40,319 --> 00:32:42,640 be here with you always, even to the end of 548 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:47,759 the age. Slight paraphrasing, but pretty close to a commandment. 549 00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:55,559 Be fruitful. The fruit he's seeking is a return of 550 00:32:55,599 --> 00:33:02,039 his family, grafted back in, readopted to the family of Christ. 551 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,079 That was not a request. Jesus is not anti family. 552 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,559 He did not unlive the fig tree because the fig 553 00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:12,359 tree was a black woman. Now we get to the 554 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:17,279 part we're Minister Jennifer B. Miller the Blossom Hills Mennonite Church. 555 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,920 She wraps up by effectively saying, now nothing I said 556 00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:22,119 is actually real. 557 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 6: I know it's only a tree, but I'm nonetheless uncomfortable 558 00:33:26,759 --> 00:33:29,519 with the social dynamics presented by this parable, and it 559 00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:32,400 makes me want to look the other way. Though this 560 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,440 story isn't really talking about human reproduction at all. 561 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:35,759 Speaker 5: I think. 562 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,799 Speaker 1: Though everything I've said doesn't bear any resemblance to everything 563 00:33:40,799 --> 00:33:43,960 I said, I still feel stuff. 564 00:33:44,039 --> 00:33:46,279 Speaker 6: And it can be helpful to note how biblical stories 565 00:33:46,279 --> 00:33:49,440 can be heard by those sensitized to trauma and oppression. 566 00:33:52,759 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 2: Just this. 567 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: Preaching the word of God should not be your therapy session. 568 00:34:06,119 --> 00:34:11,400 The parable of the fig tree is a continuation of 569 00:34:11,519 --> 00:34:16,239 Jesus insisting that we understand while we cannot earn salvation, 570 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,960 we will know we have it when we seek to 571 00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:28,599 produce good fruit. You will know you've been saved when 572 00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:33,320 you die to yourself and seek to produce fruit for 573 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:38,159 the kingdom. A fifteen year old boy who probably has 574 00:34:38,159 --> 00:34:40,000 cut down a tree or two in his life. He 575 00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:43,920 lives in North Idaho, ask me the other night the 576 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:49,400 most profound spiritual question, Todd, how do we know what 577 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,480 will be like if we agree to die to ourselves? 578 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,320 Great question? And I said, you die to yourself to 579 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:04,119 come alive in whom And he said Jesus. And then 580 00:35:04,159 --> 00:35:07,400 the Lord led me to say, and when you accept 581 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,159 Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and agreed to be 582 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,719 changed by him. What happens, what do you receive? And 583 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,960 God led him to say the Holy Spirit. So God 584 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,440 asked me to ask him this question. So when you die, 585 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:26,039 to yourself or Jesus, who are going to become more like? 586 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,719 And he said Jesus. Jesus, Christ himself said he could 587 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:36,519 accomplish nothing without the connection to the Father. We can 588 00:35:36,559 --> 00:35:40,159 accomplish nothing for the Kingdom, nothing of lasting, eternal value 589 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:46,000 apart from Him, the tree, the branch, the vine. That's 590 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:52,199 the parable. And honestly, I don't know if that lady 591 00:35:52,599 --> 00:35:57,559 even knows that anymore, because she has deep, deep feelings. 592 00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:01,840 And if you're a pastor or even a minister through 593 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:08,079 a certificate program at some community college in I don't know, Bosnia, 594 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:13,320 preaching should not be your therapy. It should be sharing 595 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,079 the gospel. This is the Todd Hermann Show. Please go, 596 00:36:16,199 --> 00:36:18,480 be well, be strong, be kind, and please make every 597 00:36:18,519 --> 00:36:20,360 effort to walk in the light of Christ.
