WEBVTT
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.419
Father, we honor you. What a privilege it is
00:00:02.419 --> 00:00:05.700
to be before you. And we truly get to do this.
00:00:05.980 --> 00:00:08.259
And even as we do, we consecrate it to you, Lord,
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:11.339
that all that we do, all that we say would bring
00:00:11.339 --> 00:00:13.759
life, would bring hope, would bring inspiration
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.239
and encouragement to our listeners. And we pray
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:19.160
for them and bless them in Jesus' name. Amen.
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:24.179
Amen. It's Wednesday, July 1st, 2026. We get
00:00:24.179 --> 00:00:45.210
to do this. This is episode number 39. Last days
00:00:45.210 --> 00:00:47.810
of the vacation, my brother. I know. It's weird,
00:00:47.850 --> 00:00:51.509
but it's good because I'm so back in my heart
00:00:51.509 --> 00:00:55.009
and my mind. I had an opportunity this week and
00:00:55.009 --> 00:00:57.729
got a phone call from the hospital that one of
00:00:57.729 --> 00:01:01.210
our church members will go unnamed. went into
00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:03.789
the hospitals, had some complications, and she
00:01:03.789 --> 00:01:06.209
specifically requested that Annette and I come.
00:01:06.569 --> 00:01:08.390
She didn't know we're on vacation or whatever,
00:01:08.510 --> 00:01:11.829
and Annette said, let's go right now. We're in
00:01:11.829 --> 00:01:13.310
our gym clothes. We're getting ready to go to
00:01:13.310 --> 00:01:15.989
the gym. And Annette's like, we got to go. I
00:01:15.989 --> 00:01:18.930
was going to bring this up a little bit later
00:01:18.930 --> 00:01:22.829
in the podcast because I wanted people to know
00:01:22.829 --> 00:01:26.310
that you guys are first responders. I mean you
00:01:26.310 --> 00:01:28.709
really are and and I know that you were on your
00:01:28.709 --> 00:01:30.609
way because we got the same phone call as what
00:01:30.609 --> 00:01:32.569
was going on we're like and we're praying here
00:01:32.569 --> 00:01:35.370
and you know you're like well we're turning around
00:01:35.370 --> 00:01:37.829
we're going right over there and that is I don't
00:01:37.829 --> 00:01:40.170
know if people appreciate that if they ever think
00:01:40.170 --> 00:01:43.159
about that but man That was pretty awesome. You
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.760
truly are first responders. I so appreciate that.
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.939
But it's really our privilege to do it. And she
00:01:49.939 --> 00:01:52.260
was so gracious and just shocked that we showed
00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:54.980
up. And then when she found out we're on vacation,
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.019
she's like, oh no, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is
00:01:58.019 --> 00:02:01.120
what we do. And then Annette said, no, this is
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.540
who we are. And I just said, absolutely, babe.
00:02:04.780 --> 00:02:07.019
This is it. We get to do this. But what it did
00:02:07.019 --> 00:02:10.199
it. it rekindled because I've been in vacation
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:14.340
mode. Our church and our staff are so good about
00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:17.879
when we're gone, they know not to... I mean,
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.699
they're just so gracious. There's no phone calls,
00:02:20.819 --> 00:02:24.060
no emails, no nothing. Here and there, they're
00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:27.500
tiny friends. But also we're that way with our
00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:30.560
team. When we know they're gone, we don't send
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.740
them stuff. We don't loop them in unless it's
00:02:33.740 --> 00:02:37.199
like an emergency or something. So anyway, She
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.280
was so sweet and so gracious and she was just
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.199
so shocked that we showed up on our vacay. We're
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.840
like, it doesn't matter. But for me, it reignited
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.360
my heart. I was like, I'm so ready to be back.
00:02:48.379 --> 00:02:52.319
It was a privilege and a pleasure. I'm glad that
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.659
you had a little bit of sun on the vacation because,
00:02:54.939 --> 00:02:57.300
man, if she saw your leg, she might go into cardiac
00:02:57.300 --> 00:03:01.900
arrest. Frightening. Frightening. I'm like, man,
00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:03.560
I'm glad I didn't have to show up in my shorts.
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.900
That would have been no good. I just think that's
00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:09.159
so amazing. Thank you, brother. You want to move
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.120
that wire? Is that in the way for you? It's bugging
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.120
me. Oh, yeah. Go ahead. We're in the Curry Compound
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.560
studio today. Tina and I are getting ready. That
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.669
would mean Tina has packed everything up. as
00:03:21.669 --> 00:03:25.250
we're leaving here in about, what about two and
00:03:25.250 --> 00:03:30.580
a half hours. We're off to Rotterdam. Yeah, man.
00:03:30.580 --> 00:03:32.879
I'm excited for you guys Yeah, well, we're hoping
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.280
that the baby will have the grandbaby will arrive
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.300
when we're there. That would be so nice gift
00:03:37.300 --> 00:03:41.020
This is OCD brother. I'm seeing Sorry, I need
00:03:41.020 --> 00:03:44.520
this one. I'm a musician some chords stage chords
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:51.000
Actually had to put the other mic arm on there
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.919
because the other one broke Oh, it has like a
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.800
little wire on the inside and it snapped The
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.919
little coil or whatever, the spring? Yeah, that's
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.240
a spring mechanism. That's odd. It's a design
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.759
flaw. Is this a new one? It's an old one. I'll
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.780
catch you. I think it's actually better. You've
00:04:08.780 --> 00:04:10.960
got a few spares, so I know. I've got all kinds.
00:04:11.139 --> 00:04:14.180
Don't open that closet. No, no, no. Talking about
00:04:14.180 --> 00:04:17.939
the closet. No, it has not been cleaned up. So
00:04:17.939 --> 00:04:20.839
we're going over there and I don't know if we've
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.839
talked about it on the show, but Christina, my
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.800
daughter, and Kevin, who are expecting the granddaughter,
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:32.439
they've been doing a reality show for Dutch television.
00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:39.639
And in 2003, for a whole bunch of reasons, I
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.399
did a reality show with our family called Adam's
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.680
Family, and Christina was nine or 10 at the time.
00:04:45.699 --> 00:04:49.259
And it really was, there was like a huge legal
00:04:49.259 --> 00:04:51.459
issue with cash, and so I literally could not
00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:57.319
get money out of the ATM. It was a tax IRS in
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:01.160
Holland and they later had to apologize, which
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.480
showed up on page 23 of the newspapers. The Curry's
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.879
in trouble is page one. So they literally, they
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:10.839
can do this in Holland. They can freeze everything,
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.360
all your accounts. It goes back to the shipping
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.779
days where they could block everything if a ship
00:05:16.779 --> 00:05:19.240
hadn't paid its dues or whatever. So it's kind
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.139
of an interesting law. So I literally could not
00:05:21.139 --> 00:05:23.920
get anything out of the ATM. Well, this is a
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.819
problem. But any new money, any new money would
00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:31.500
be okay. And I just seen the Osbournes, which
00:05:31.500 --> 00:05:35.319
an old producer of mine at MTV had done, Greg
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.000
Johnson, and he, he literally had one camera,
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.759
some extra camera guy time. And he decided to
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:43.579
do this with the Osbournes. Of course, that became
00:05:43.579 --> 00:05:46.899
a big hit said, well, we can do that. And so
00:05:46.899 --> 00:05:51.740
we ate 13 episodes. And, you know, I locked it
00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:53.839
up. It's, you know, that's it. No one can ever
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.079
do any re -airs of it. You know, I have all the
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.000
rights. And so that's why it was just a one time
00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.959
thing. And it was actually quite, I thought kind
00:05:59.959 --> 00:06:02.040
of, it was fun to do because I produced it with
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:05.120
two other people. We did it all ourselves. So
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.160
after that came a lot of family reality shows,
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.379
every singer family, everyone had a reality show.
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:16.399
And now 25 years later, they're doing. you know,
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:20.040
fill in the family name 2025, 2026, 25 years
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.339
later. And so they offered Kevin and Christina
00:06:22.339 --> 00:06:26.180
to do this reality show. And I'm like, you know,
00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:28.560
it's not that much of a hassle. It's kind of,
00:06:28.699 --> 00:06:31.439
it's annoying, but it would be a great start,
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.120
you know, cause you, you know, you have a little
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.420
extra cash, you got the baby on the way and Tina
00:06:37.420 --> 00:06:39.660
and I will happily participate, which we have
00:06:39.660 --> 00:06:44.939
done. Now, as a part of that, We gave them some
00:06:44.939 --> 00:06:48.259
rights to some of the old footage, which I have.
00:06:48.379 --> 00:06:51.639
Now, to say I have that means I have all the
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.959
original tapes, which is useless. You can't give
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.240
that to anybody because it's just all raw material.
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:02.160
But I have five DVD sets. And so I needed to
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.100
bring those. And for the whole week, I was anxious
00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:08.639
because I knew that eventually I'd have to go
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.060
locate these five DVD sets. Which is it in the
00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:16.839
closet from hell? Is it in a box in the garage
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.920
one of the many box? I mean there must be 25
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.720
boxes and I was the archives I was yes, and I
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.220
was like, oh man, and I did something that usually
00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:29.500
I do during the moment of frustration For a whole
00:07:29.500 --> 00:07:31.819
day yesterday before I started to search. I said,
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.759
holy spirit Would you please help me find this
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.639
and dude? It is crazy. I didn't even open the,
00:07:39.779 --> 00:07:41.620
I really thought that would be in the hell closet.
00:07:42.220 --> 00:07:44.879
I didn't even open it up. The spirit actually
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.660
sent me to a box, which I don't even remember.
00:07:48.100 --> 00:07:50.699
And the box, it wasn't the box, but it was a
00:07:50.699 --> 00:07:54.379
box filled with photos. I can't even recall from
00:07:54.379 --> 00:07:58.079
when Christina was a baby and just great. I'm
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:00.360
always looking for something for her birthday
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.819
or father's day or something to put, you know,
00:08:02.939 --> 00:08:05.360
to send to her. I'm like, oh, this is a great,
00:08:05.579 --> 00:08:08.720
my social security card, my birth certificate.
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.779
This is a good box. The next box I opened right
00:08:12.779 --> 00:08:15.199
there, it almost jumped out at me. I'm like,
00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:19.779
thank you, Holy Spirit. I just completely believe
00:08:19.779 --> 00:08:23.240
in this stuff, man. That was so helpful. The
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:27.139
helper came through. The helper helped. That's
00:08:27.139 --> 00:08:30.329
what he does. And he delights in doing so. And
00:08:30.329 --> 00:08:33.110
can you imagine, I mean, think about this, you're
00:08:33.110 --> 00:08:35.950
a father. And if your child would reach out to
00:08:35.950 --> 00:08:39.429
you to say, I need help doing this. This is important.
00:08:39.970 --> 00:08:42.049
Would you help me find my keys? What would you
00:08:42.049 --> 00:08:44.629
do? You knock everything down and everybody over
00:08:44.629 --> 00:08:47.269
to get to her house to help her find her keys.
00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:51.830
I mean, that's the father. And when you ask the
00:08:51.830 --> 00:08:56.690
helper, that's his name. He's ready to help.
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.740
I mean, it's crazy because this happens all the
00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:03.480
time and Annette and I, of course, our little
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.100
running thing now is, have you asked the Holy
00:09:06.100 --> 00:09:09.000
Spirit? It's a joke with us because it's like,
00:09:09.299 --> 00:09:12.299
oh no, okay, hold on. Just do it right now because
00:09:12.299 --> 00:09:13.659
you know how it is when you're looking for something.
00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:17.940
You're just not thinking about the big cosmic
00:09:17.940 --> 00:09:19.659
things. You're just thinking about, I need my
00:09:19.659 --> 00:09:24.590
keys or my DVDs, whatever. It's so nice when
00:09:24.590 --> 00:09:27.129
you just pause for a second and it just settles
00:09:27.129 --> 00:09:29.870
you because you go, okay, he knows where it is
00:09:29.870 --> 00:09:33.669
and he will guide me to it. I've done that, but
00:09:33.669 --> 00:09:36.230
this was the first time I did it upfront before
00:09:36.230 --> 00:09:40.110
I went searching. I have to find this and it's
00:09:40.110 --> 00:09:43.809
really important. I was anxious. The whole day
00:09:43.809 --> 00:09:46.990
I'm doing things, I got this pain in my stomach,
00:09:47.129 --> 00:09:49.330
you know, like, oh man, and I know it's hot in
00:09:49.330 --> 00:09:50.990
the garage and I'm going to be sweating, it's
00:09:50.990 --> 00:09:53.970
going to be dripping from me. No, not only did
00:09:53.970 --> 00:09:56.549
I get the DVDs, I got this great bonus of this
00:09:56.549 --> 00:09:58.950
great archive. It was phenomenal. Beautiful.
00:09:59.350 --> 00:10:01.730
Just phenomenal. Love it, brother. He's good
00:10:01.730 --> 00:10:04.309
that way. So do you have the football fever?
00:10:06.469 --> 00:10:10.009
No, I'm much well actually being hanging out
00:10:10.009 --> 00:10:12.710
in airports for hours and hours. We did a lot
00:10:12.710 --> 00:10:15.090
of, you know, they're on all the TVs. So you
00:10:15.090 --> 00:10:17.330
catch yourself watching it. And I count myself
00:10:17.330 --> 00:10:19.409
going, yeah, you know, and that goes, I didn't
00:10:19.409 --> 00:10:21.330
know you liked soccer. I said, I really don't,
00:10:21.429 --> 00:10:23.909
but I'm kind of getting into it. And then laughing
00:10:23.909 --> 00:10:27.169
at all the fake falls, you know, the drama, the
00:10:27.169 --> 00:10:30.809
theater, I laughed my head off. I'm like, that
00:10:30.809 --> 00:10:33.149
guy needs to play some rugby and take a real
00:10:33.149 --> 00:10:35.190
hit. Cause man, that was, he didn't even touch
00:10:35.190 --> 00:10:38.070
that guy. but it's so fun and it's fun to watch
00:10:38.070 --> 00:10:41.529
people in the airport get into it. Everybody's
00:10:41.529 --> 00:10:45.049
watching. Well, I've been watching it because
00:10:45.049 --> 00:10:48.789
I'm the guy who watches. I'll watch the NBA finals.
00:10:48.889 --> 00:10:51.470
I'll watch the Superbowl. I'll watch the World
00:10:51.470 --> 00:10:54.450
Series. Stanley Cup, not so much. I just can't
00:10:54.450 --> 00:10:56.629
follow the puck. It's like that's not for me.
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.419
But I have a couple of teams to root for when
00:10:59.419 --> 00:11:02.879
it comes to the football. So Holland, of course,
00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:05.840
Italy for my sister, both of them have been knocked
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.720
out. I think the USA played last night. I don't
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:12.039
expect, but the Germans were knocked out surprised
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.039
because Dermanshaft as they're known, they usually
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:16.919
get into the final. So it's probably going to
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.500
be France. But they played a game against a new
00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:24.179
team from Curaçao and Curaçao is a Dutch protectorate.
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.720
And they qualified amazing above anyone's expectations.
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:31.639
It's a little island. Oh, wow. Right off. Actually,
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.120
it's north of what I think Venezuela. Only a
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.820
couple of hours from here to fly and very small
00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:41.820
island. I've been there. I don't like going there
00:11:41.820 --> 00:11:43.440
because everyone's Dutch and they know me. It's
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.820
like I don't look at my legs. But they're in
00:11:46.820 --> 00:11:49.120
the World Cup. Now they were beaten by Germany,
00:11:49.340 --> 00:11:53.279
like severely beaten. But what happened was something
00:11:53.399 --> 00:12:22.450
glorious. And I have a clip. Giving the glory
00:12:22.450 --> 00:12:24.570
to God any glory that they receive. They're giving
00:12:24.570 --> 00:12:27.909
it back to God. So That's what I'm seeing and
00:12:27.909 --> 00:12:30.909
I want everybody to be looking for that as well
00:12:30.909 --> 00:12:33.669
So two things one, you know when they scored,
00:12:33.669 --> 00:12:36.169
you know, we spiked the ball. We do a little
00:12:36.169 --> 00:12:39.529
dance. No, they are Throwing their crowns down
00:12:39.529 --> 00:12:42.690
on the pitch which is which is football for field
00:12:42.690 --> 00:12:47.120
right on the pitch and after the game the teams
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.919
are coming together and praying after the game.
00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:54.179
And so the Germans came and prayed with the Even
00:12:54.179 --> 00:12:56.139
the Germans beat him 7 to 1, I mean it was a
00:12:56.139 --> 00:12:58.179
sl - I know. Listen to what it sounded like.
00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:29.299
Isn't that awesome? I got goosebumps, bro. That
00:13:29.299 --> 00:13:32.419
fired me up. Isn't that fantastic? I love this.
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.759
It takes me back to sports days, man. There's
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:37.919
just some adrenaline rush that happens, but to
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:40.840
have that prayer prayed over you, just passionate
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:45.039
and fiery. It changes the tone of the game. I
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.639
mean, you're still going to have your idiots
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.580
out there who are cocky and narcissistic, but
00:13:50.580 --> 00:13:53.889
there's a bunch more. gentlemen beginning to
00:13:53.889 --> 00:13:57.409
rise up, and you're seeing sportsmanship, and
00:13:57.409 --> 00:13:59.210
you're seeing camaraderie, and you're seeing
00:13:59.210 --> 00:14:01.610
them even after a bloodbath on the field, whether
00:14:01.610 --> 00:14:05.610
it's football, basketball, whatever it is, and
00:14:05.610 --> 00:14:07.929
they're meeting out in center field, out in the
00:14:07.929 --> 00:14:12.100
middle. to pray and end it off. Is that starting
00:14:12.100 --> 00:14:14.759
the game or after? That I think is from starting
00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:18.799
the game. Wow. It sounds like everybody. I had
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:20.860
a German player talk about it, but it was all
00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:23.700
in German, so I wasn't going to play that. But
00:14:23.700 --> 00:14:25.720
a couple of German players actually went over
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:29.779
and prayed after the game. So we've got not spiking
00:14:29.779 --> 00:14:32.240
the ball, but laying down the crowns. That is
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:36.340
so cool. As with all good sports, we have a ministry
00:14:36.340 --> 00:14:39.179
in football. A guy who I actually met, Jesse
00:14:39.179 --> 00:14:42.179
Bradley, have you ever heard of him? I think
00:14:42.179 --> 00:14:45.559
he's in Los Angeles. I think he has a church.
00:14:45.580 --> 00:14:48.940
He certainly has a ministry and he was a professional
00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:51.360
soccer player and I got a quick clip from him.
00:14:51.470 --> 00:14:54.070
There's so much happening on many different levels,
00:14:54.490 --> 00:14:56.409
but at the center of it all, it's not really
00:14:56.409 --> 00:14:59.250
about soccer, it's about Jesus. And soccer can
00:14:59.250 --> 00:15:01.809
unite the world, and in the world, attention
00:15:01.809 --> 00:15:04.350
is on the game, but really it's about how God
00:15:04.350 --> 00:15:07.169
transformed lives. And last World Cup, well,
00:15:07.230 --> 00:15:10.230
four years ago, we had an online outreach and
00:15:10.230 --> 00:15:13.129
shared about Jesus and hope, the gospel. The
00:15:13.129 --> 00:15:16.169
good news is that Jesus died first, sins is risen,
00:15:16.250 --> 00:15:18.950
it's not religion, it's relationship. And we
00:15:18.950 --> 00:15:22.799
saw 480 ,000 people. start a relationship with
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.659
Jesus, make a first -time decision to follow
00:15:24.659 --> 00:15:27.019
the Lord, and then lead them into discipleship
00:15:27.019 --> 00:15:29.580
as well. We're still celebrating what God did
00:15:29.580 --> 00:15:32.519
four years ago, but now God is moving in this
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:37.039
World Cup. God does beyond what we could ask
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.820
or think, and he gets all the glory. Amen. That's
00:15:40.820 --> 00:15:43.159
so awesome. Football, who thought? Man, that's
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.980
beautiful. Of course, you and I both have laughed
00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:51.710
and enjoyed how listening to those who are visiting
00:15:51.710 --> 00:15:56.590
our country get overwhelmed, just whelmed over
00:15:56.590 --> 00:16:01.629
by everything like Costco. Ranch dressing. All
00:16:01.629 --> 00:16:07.929
of that. It's made me take a step back and appreciate
00:16:07.929 --> 00:16:11.769
our nation. What a time to think that way, right
00:16:11.769 --> 00:16:15.309
as we're stepping into the 250th and to say,
00:16:15.490 --> 00:16:18.509
Lord, thank you for our blessings. It's so easy
00:16:18.509 --> 00:16:21.330
to get caught up. I'm so pushed back from social
00:16:21.330 --> 00:16:24.950
media right now. I've enjoyed not writing a daily
00:16:24.950 --> 00:16:27.129
grind, even though I do love doing it. I started
00:16:27.129 --> 00:16:29.690
it back today, but I've just been posting scripture
00:16:29.690 --> 00:16:32.850
as opposed to writing. It's been very refreshing
00:16:32.850 --> 00:16:36.970
for me and it brought me back strong. I just
00:16:36.970 --> 00:16:39.269
love what's happening where people are seeing
00:16:39.269 --> 00:16:42.509
things in a sense of, I don't know that we're
00:16:42.509 --> 00:16:45.230
at what I would call full -blown revival by definition,
00:16:45.269 --> 00:16:47.899
but we are definitely at an awakening. You know,
00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:50.720
it's interesting. I hadn't even prepared this,
00:16:51.299 --> 00:16:54.299
but regarding that, because there's two ways
00:16:54.299 --> 00:16:57.039
you can look at it. You know, the the cynical
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.639
way is all they care about is, you know, our
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.160
fast food and, you know, stuff like that. But
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.980
it's just like you said, it's doing something
00:17:06.980 --> 00:17:11.380
to us. It's doing something inside of us. I'm
00:17:11.380 --> 00:17:13.880
just trying to see if I can find this because
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.640
Bill Maher, of all people. Interesting, because
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.440
I was actually thinking about that, his little
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.400
spot there, because that's who reminded me to
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.940
really think about this, of all people. Let's
00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:27.000
listen to this. There actually are some good
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.000
things about us. There's a whole, he has a whole
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.960
setup about, actually the setup is kind of worth
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.009
playing, I think. Go ahead, man. And finally,
00:17:37.190 --> 00:17:39.930
let's all give it up for soccer being the greatest
00:17:39.930 --> 00:17:48.549
sport. No. Not the game itself. That sucks. I
00:17:48.549 --> 00:17:51.029
mean, there's more scoring at a Star Trek convention.
00:17:57.660 --> 00:18:00.839
But I am loving that the World Cup has brought
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.240
to our shores all these people who are doing
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:06.420
Americans the service of Reminding us just when
00:18:06.420 --> 00:18:09.900
we needed it on our big 250 birthday But actually
00:18:09.900 --> 00:18:21.460
this place is kind of awesome. Yeah Yes, I know
00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:23.880
how dare I how privileged when there are so many
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:26.660
problems and threats and people left behind all
00:18:26.660 --> 00:18:29.279
true I could give you the statistics where we
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.440
are not good enough and have done so many times.
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:36.640
Infant mortality rate, 54th in the world. Women
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:40.480
in government, 85th. Overdose deaths, lack of
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:44.160
health insurance. Yes, many problems. But that's
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:46.759
because the name of our country is America, not
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:48.940
utopia. That was actually a really good line.
00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:52.309
I thought it was good. What everyone has done,
00:18:52.410 --> 00:18:54.970
what even I did, although it was for early identification
00:18:54.970 --> 00:18:56.730
purposes, is look at all these people and what
00:18:56.730 --> 00:18:58.930
they're saying. He kind of turned it around and
00:18:58.930 --> 00:19:02.390
said, look how happy we should be. How happy
00:19:02.390 --> 00:19:04.690
we should be about our country. There actually
00:19:04.690 --> 00:19:07.750
are some good things about us. Even with all
00:19:07.750 --> 00:19:11.109
the ICE nonsense, we have more immigrants than
00:19:11.109 --> 00:19:14.250
the next four countries combined. We have to
00:19:14.250 --> 00:19:16.509
fight for it, but still have freedom of speech.
00:19:17.340 --> 00:19:20.380
assembly and trial by jury and even if you're
00:19:20.380 --> 00:19:22.960
found guilty you can still ask a Kardashian to
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:31.960
get you a pardon other countries struggle just
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:35.559
to have water here we make it put on a show in
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:47.250
the desert We have drive -throughs for both church
00:19:47.250 --> 00:19:49.509
and... Yeah, I'm gonna skip a couple of these.
00:19:50.150 --> 00:19:53.309
It gets a little launchy. I can't imagine. But
00:19:53.309 --> 00:19:56.269
he basically says, hey, you know, this is a great
00:19:56.269 --> 00:20:00.150
country. Yeah, we have our problems. But it's
00:20:00.150 --> 00:20:03.339
so true. And it kind of comes back to what we
00:20:03.339 --> 00:20:05.160
were talking about on the last show. You get
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:09.799
so myopic and so focused on a screen and you
00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:13.700
forget everything that's around you. It's so
00:20:13.700 --> 00:20:16.019
good. That's what it's doing for me. Beautiful.
00:20:16.140 --> 00:20:19.480
For me too. And I get so encouraged by it because
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:22.920
I'm like, if a guy from France, and we visited
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.339
France in 2019 and they didn't seem to like us
00:20:26.339 --> 00:20:28.680
very much. I'm just straight up, especially the
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:31.230
waiters and waitresses. you know, I was like,
00:20:31.250 --> 00:20:32.710
hey, could you bring me my check? They don't
00:20:32.710 --> 00:20:34.809
like each other. They don't like each other.
00:20:34.930 --> 00:20:36.970
Don't worry about it. Well, okay. So I don't
00:20:36.970 --> 00:20:39.509
feel bad. I didn't feel bad. But anyway, to hear
00:20:39.509 --> 00:20:42.150
a French guy saying, you know, Costco, I'll give
00:20:42.150 --> 00:20:44.970
my right arm for Costco. Revolution. Yeah. Revolution.
00:20:45.450 --> 00:20:48.250
I'll start a revolution for Costco. I just, I'm
00:20:48.250 --> 00:20:53.819
like, wow. we need to step back and put our screens
00:20:53.819 --> 00:20:56.500
down and pick up our Bibles and say, thank you,
00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:59.480
God, that we get to live in the most amazing
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:04.180
country in America and forgive those of us who
00:21:04.180 --> 00:21:07.059
have complained and who have put this nation
00:21:07.059 --> 00:21:09.819
down and who have tried to destroy this nation.
00:21:10.250 --> 00:21:13.509
and Father, let us stand up straight again, upright,
00:21:13.809 --> 00:21:16.630
righteous before you." And so, that's what it's
00:21:16.630 --> 00:21:20.190
doing for me. It's bringing me back to my foundations
00:21:20.190 --> 00:21:24.049
as a believer of gratitude and thanksgiving,
00:21:24.509 --> 00:21:26.730
which is, the scripture says, is the will of
00:21:26.730 --> 00:21:30.210
God. It is the will of God to give thanks. And
00:21:30.210 --> 00:21:33.609
so, that's what it's doing for me. And I'm excited
00:21:33.609 --> 00:21:35.990
not only about that, but another thing that makes
00:21:35.990 --> 00:21:40.309
me thankful is seeing All the sports teams praying.
00:21:40.529 --> 00:21:44.029
I mean, these poor commentators, especially down
00:21:44.029 --> 00:21:45.849
on the field, they know what's going to happen
00:21:45.849 --> 00:21:47.869
when they hand the mic to a football player.
00:21:48.789 --> 00:21:52.269
I think Jesus Christ, the gospel, it changes
00:21:52.269 --> 00:21:55.750
my life. I mean, it is just happening. It's really
00:21:55.750 --> 00:21:58.029
steamrolling right now. Did you see the guy with
00:21:58.029 --> 00:22:01.930
the three nails? No, no. I just ordered my first
00:22:01.930 --> 00:22:05.559
three nails. Workout shorts. He had like three
00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:09.400
long, long nails and he was doing an after show
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:12.619
comp. Gosh, I wish I knew who that was. The American
00:22:12.619 --> 00:22:15.720
guy. And he says, you know, these three nails
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.279
and he went into the whole story of the crucifixion,
00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:21.920
but in graphic detail, passion of the Christ
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:25.619
Mel Gibson movie level detail. Wow. And I just
00:22:25.619 --> 00:22:27.240
sat like. And there was, you could have heard
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:30.019
a pin drop in the press room. And he says, and
00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:32.039
that's, and that's why I'm grateful. And you
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:35.559
know, just so good. It was, it was like, whoa.
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:38.019
So can I share something from Jeremy Camp? You
00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:40.619
don't have to ask me to share anything, brother.
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:42.460
You go for it. It's right in line with all of
00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:44.960
this. I love Jeremy Camp because he's a contemporary
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:46.920
Christian music artist. I hear him all the time.
00:22:47.099 --> 00:22:49.460
And hello friend. Phenomenal. Yes. And he's got
00:22:49.460 --> 00:22:52.079
big guns too. The dude is pumped. He's juiced.
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:55.559
But he's just a great guy. When we lived in Nashville,
00:22:55.819 --> 00:22:58.799
they attended our church and his wife, Addie
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:00.660
was on the worship team. He wasn't because I'm
00:23:00.660 --> 00:23:02.740
sure he's got clauses where he can't do that.
00:23:02.940 --> 00:23:05.240
But she was on the worship team regularly and
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:07.000
it'd be nothing to look down the row and say,
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:09.880
oh, there's Jeremy Camp and his kids. So, really
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:12.180
cool family. But listen to what he writes about
00:23:12.180 --> 00:23:14.299
revival. He just wrote a song called Revival.
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:17.539
And he says, throughout scripture, revival begins
00:23:17.539 --> 00:23:21.279
with God's people humbling themselves, repenting,
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:24.759
and allowing him to transform their hearts. It's
00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:27.559
not simply about counting decisions, it's about
00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:30.660
seeing lives changed. It's about forgiveness
00:23:30.660 --> 00:23:34.539
replacing bitterness, purity replacing compromise,
00:23:35.259 --> 00:23:38.880
humility replacing pride, and the fruit of repentance
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:42.640
becoming evident in everyday life. Real revival
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.400
doesn't stop at the altar, it follows us home.
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.940
It changes the way we love our spouses, raise
00:23:48.940 --> 00:23:52.259
our children, treat our neighbors, serve our
00:23:52.259 --> 00:23:55.380
communities and represent Christ in our schools
00:23:55.380 --> 00:23:58.319
and workplace. Because revival is not merely
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:01.220
measured by how many people gather, it's ultimately
00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:05.640
revealed by how many people are changed. Isn't
00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:09.000
that rich? This folds right into our brother,
00:24:09.140 --> 00:24:11.259
Rick Green, who spoke at the men's breakfast
00:24:11.259 --> 00:24:15.279
on Saturday. I hated to miss that. You would
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.319
have loved being there. I'm so glad that we're
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:20.299
expanding the space because it was a hundred
00:24:20.299 --> 00:24:23.220
and thirty four men pretty much study room only
00:24:23.220 --> 00:24:27.779
one thirty one thirty seven and Crazy and Rick's
00:24:27.779 --> 00:24:31.119
message was not dissimilar to Jeremy But he was
00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:34.559
saying as men we have an obligation. We can start
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:38.519
this at home Pray with our wives with our children,
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:40.640
you know He actually he did something we've talked
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:42.759
about that you preach from the pulpit going through
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:45.200
the Lord's Prayer and stopping at each piece
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.660
and how can I um, you know, what can I pray specifically
00:24:48.660 --> 00:24:51.880
about, you know, uh, daily bread or forgive us
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:54.859
of our debts or even our father art in heaven.
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:57.920
And it was so motivating. And it was, and there
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:00.420
was a lot of young men, like eight, nine years
00:25:00.420 --> 00:25:04.980
old. And I just have to say Jonah Mandel, pastor
00:25:04.980 --> 00:25:08.460
Brian's son, who just turned 15. He was still
00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:11.140
14 and he had something to say about something
00:25:11.140 --> 00:25:13.500
that he had. learned at the camp because they
00:25:13.500 --> 00:25:16.880
were all at camp this past week. So Pastor Brian
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:19.279
invited him to come up there and talk and then
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:22.200
also invited him to do the closing prayer. And
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:23.839
brother, I got to tell you, we got a couple of
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:26.569
generations lined up in our church. but he had
00:25:26.569 --> 00:25:31.009
the Mandel shuffle, man. It was awesome. He was
00:25:31.009 --> 00:25:34.170
doing left and right and back and forth. And
00:25:34.170 --> 00:25:37.269
they say, Ms. Adam, Ms. Adam, I think I'm ready
00:25:37.269 --> 00:25:39.130
to get the podcast going again. I'm like, oh
00:25:39.130 --> 00:25:45.650
yeah. Okay. Yeah. be able to do it solo without
00:25:45.650 --> 00:25:48.410
relying on anybody. He has to get to that barrier
00:25:48.410 --> 00:25:51.029
of, I'm talking into a microphone, into a void.
00:25:51.809 --> 00:25:54.210
There's no one in the pews. Oh, he can do it.
00:25:54.210 --> 00:25:56.329
He's solid. He's so good. I know he can. I know
00:25:56.329 --> 00:25:59.170
he can, so I'm excited. Actually, I did a pilot
00:25:59.170 --> 00:26:01.289
yesterday for another podcast that will come
00:26:01.289 --> 00:26:04.250
out of our church from Windy. Are you familiar
00:26:04.250 --> 00:26:11.609
with Windy? It's also with a W. Yeah, Windy Witzhead.
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:14.859
I think you're right. Winstead. Winstead. Winstead.
00:26:15.579 --> 00:26:18.640
She's sharp. Winstead, yes. She is sharp. So
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.460
she had this idea, which I think she talked to
00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:26.039
pastor to Annette about it and to you. And I
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:27.819
think Dame Annette said, Oh yeah, Adam will do
00:26:27.819 --> 00:26:30.940
that. Just call him. Here's his number. She was
00:26:30.940 --> 00:26:33.900
right. That was, that was a move by the spirit.
00:26:34.140 --> 00:26:35.980
And I talked to her on the phone and said, come
00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:37.680
on, we'll do a pilot and we'll see how it goes.
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:41.589
It's called, I know a woman and it's essentially
00:26:41.589 --> 00:26:45.690
each episode is maybe a 12 to 17 minute nice
00:26:45.690 --> 00:26:50.930
testimonial of someone who either can't or doesn't
00:26:50.930 --> 00:26:54.329
want to do it herself and so she's written it
00:26:54.329 --> 00:26:58.410
out I mean I was choked up man I'm just gonna
00:26:58.410 --> 00:27:00.450
all I had to do was just record and it was one
00:27:00.450 --> 00:27:04.190
take she said she has a beautiful voice just
00:27:04.190 --> 00:27:06.950
went straight through not a single stop not a
00:27:06.950 --> 00:27:09.309
single pick up I'm like I'm stunned. I'm like,
00:27:09.490 --> 00:27:11.369
all I have to do is just put some stuff at the
00:27:11.369 --> 00:27:13.650
beginning and the end and this is a show. I'm
00:27:13.650 --> 00:27:17.490
excited to get it on our Godcaster station. Of
00:27:17.490 --> 00:27:19.390
course, it'll be everywhere as a podcast, but
00:27:19.390 --> 00:27:23.250
oh man, this is so good. She's funny too. She's
00:27:23.250 --> 00:27:26.549
great. We sat down with her a while back and
00:27:26.549 --> 00:27:30.730
we left that meeting just lifted and encouraged
00:27:30.730 --> 00:27:34.430
by her story and just what God's doing in her
00:27:34.430 --> 00:27:37.009
life and in and through her, but also others.
00:27:38.110 --> 00:27:41.730
But I'm so happy. One of the big wins for me
00:27:41.730 --> 00:27:46.690
was that we got to use our studios for somebody
00:27:46.690 --> 00:27:49.289
in the church. This is why we built that studio,
00:27:49.390 --> 00:27:51.170
as I've told Annette. This is why we did this,
00:27:51.289 --> 00:27:54.009
not just for us. It's just to get more voices
00:27:54.009 --> 00:27:58.710
out there, more people getting bold, staying
00:27:58.710 --> 00:28:01.470
the course. stepping up to the plate and saying,
00:28:01.509 --> 00:28:03.269
you know what? I have a voice and I have something
00:28:03.269 --> 00:28:05.910
to say. Yeah. Well, we actually have a studio.
00:28:06.109 --> 00:28:08.009
You can do that in. We have a studio. We have
00:28:08.009 --> 00:28:09.970
a platform. We want that to be a blessing. And
00:28:09.970 --> 00:28:16.470
then Doug, Doug, also from our church, Doug,
00:28:16.470 --> 00:28:20.869
Doug Brand, Doug Fire, Doug. Spredo? Flames.
00:28:21.529 --> 00:28:24.710
We have several Dougs. I love this. Hold on a
00:28:24.710 --> 00:28:29.099
second. Let me see. It was Doug. Oh, man. Doug
00:28:29.099 --> 00:28:32.799
Burns. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's done radio. Yeah.
00:28:33.019 --> 00:28:35.539
And he's like, because I was talking to Matt
00:28:35.539 --> 00:28:37.759
Long after the breakfast and he says, Oh, I want
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:39.680
you to meet Doug. You know, Doug's been in radio,
00:28:39.859 --> 00:28:42.019
rock and roll radio and doesn't look like anything
00:28:42.019 --> 00:28:43.980
like the rock and roll radio guy you'd expect,
00:28:44.500 --> 00:28:47.980
but typical also. I said, yeah, I've got this
00:28:47.980 --> 00:28:50.119
interview podcast and I've got everything all
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:52.900
set up and I've got the gear and everything good
00:28:52.900 --> 00:28:55.180
to go. But I need a host. I said, you need a
00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:58.200
host. So what do you mean? Like someone to host
00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:00.000
it? He says, no, no, I'm going to do it. I need,
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:02.980
how do I get it into a podcast? I said, oh, hello.
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:10.160
This is exactly what we want to do here at Bridge
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:12.720
Charge. We'll get you up on rss .com because
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:15.519
we have a partnership with them and we'll get
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:18.740
this rolling. So, I mean - He's sharp. I did
00:29:18.740 --> 00:29:21.539
an interview with him like nine years ago when
00:29:21.539 --> 00:29:24.119
we first came here and when he found out I played
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:27.210
guitar and stuff. he started talking about contemporary
00:29:27.210 --> 00:29:29.650
Christian music and he had a show on one of the
00:29:29.650 --> 00:29:32.430
local radio stations here where he would do this,
00:29:32.849 --> 00:29:37.150
he'd do like old hits like 70s, 80s, 90s Christian
00:29:37.150 --> 00:29:40.799
music. It was so good. and he's a great voice.
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:42.880
And so, yeah, he'll be good. So that's another
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:46.119
one. So we're just becoming like a podcast ministry,
00:29:46.339 --> 00:29:48.339
man. I'm excited by this. Well, I told you a
00:29:48.339 --> 00:29:50.220
while back, I said, you know, every church has
00:29:50.220 --> 00:29:52.980
a lane. Yeah. And I feel like our lane is something
00:29:52.980 --> 00:29:56.279
that was spoken to me back in the 1990s. And
00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:01.359
of all places, Hesperia, California, with an
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:04.539
evangelist named Jojo Sanchez, who stopped me.
00:30:04.700 --> 00:30:07.259
And he said, I remember it was the mid -90s.
00:30:07.259 --> 00:30:10.839
He says, He says, I want to say something to
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:12.680
you by the spirit. And he said, if you're ready.
00:30:12.819 --> 00:30:15.240
I said, yeah. He said, have you ever done anything
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:17.740
with multimedia? Remember multimedia, stacked
00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:21.460
projectors? CD -ROMs. Kodak. I mean like thousands
00:30:21.460 --> 00:30:26.019
and thousands of slides. And I said, no, but
00:30:26.019 --> 00:30:29.119
I'm fascinated. He said, get ready. You're going
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:32.809
to speak to millions. through multimedia. Now,
00:30:32.809 --> 00:30:34.690
he had mentioned the internet because I was just
00:30:34.690 --> 00:30:36.990
starting to get some traction. Yeah. I mean,
00:30:37.089 --> 00:30:40.130
mid -90s. Sure. Yeah. Wow. I mean, I had Juno
00:30:40.130 --> 00:30:42.109
at that time, I think, or America Online, one
00:30:42.109 --> 00:30:46.869
of those. Prodigy. Prodigy. I've had all of those.
00:30:46.990 --> 00:30:50.490
I was an early adopter. Yeah. And so doing what
00:30:50.490 --> 00:30:53.329
we're doing right now is so natural to me because
00:30:53.329 --> 00:30:56.210
I know this is what the Lord said was going to
00:30:56.210 --> 00:30:59.460
happen back in the 90s. So here we are, brother.
00:30:59.700 --> 00:31:02.559
And here we are, sitting in the studio. I love
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:06.339
it. So we have a praise report. Come on. Oh,
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:10.279
yes. Which now on the last show, we actually
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:12.660
stopped in the middle of the show and prayed
00:31:12.660 --> 00:31:17.200
for Viola. She's Charles's daughter, Charles,
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:22.460
and trying to think what his wife's name is.
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:28.009
I can't remember. Sorry. but they were on their
00:31:28.009 --> 00:31:31.549
way and he was keeping us updated on email. And
00:31:31.549 --> 00:31:34.349
I just read a little bit of this. I mean, it's
00:31:34.349 --> 00:31:38.670
a lot of detail, but the bottom line is, he says,
00:31:38.710 --> 00:31:41.609
our God is so good, praise report incoming, Tracy
00:31:41.609 --> 00:31:45.990
is her name. And she came out of surgery fine,
00:31:46.809 --> 00:31:49.130
a little touch and go with fluids and they had
00:31:49.130 --> 00:31:51.170
to intubate her, but then they took her off,
00:31:51.230 --> 00:31:54.109
they got her on the CPAP, then the CPAP could
00:31:54.109 --> 00:31:58.809
come off. and hoping to move out of the cardiac
00:31:58.809 --> 00:32:01.809
ICU today or tomorrow. So, praying for healing
00:32:01.809 --> 00:32:04.849
and protection against infection. And I just
00:32:04.849 --> 00:32:06.990
love what he says here. Trace and I are so grateful
00:32:06.990 --> 00:32:09.609
for our Lord's grace and all the prayers we've
00:32:09.609 --> 00:32:12.529
been receiving nationwide. And remember, this
00:32:12.529 --> 00:32:14.930
could have gone completely the opposite direction.
00:32:15.289 --> 00:32:17.849
And they were more concerned about even deciding
00:32:17.849 --> 00:32:20.250
to do the operation to give the go ahead. That
00:32:20.250 --> 00:32:23.599
was the big decision. Yeah. Viola is on prayer
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:26.160
list from Virginia to California. Our home church,
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:28.720
New Hope Assembly of God in Urbandale, Iowa has
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:31.700
circled around us with support. Our pastor Brian
00:32:31.700 --> 00:32:34.319
even offered to fly to Boston for the surgery.
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:37.119
It's so humbling to be surrounded by such loving
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:39.240
people. I don't know how people go through life
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:43.319
without God's church," says Charles. Wow. And
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:45.400
so thank you all for praying and don't stop.
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:48.539
Don't stop praying for Viola and Charles and
00:32:48.539 --> 00:32:50.019
Trace. And I think they have another daughter
00:32:50.019 --> 00:32:53.269
as well. Beautiful. So happy to hear that. Thank
00:32:53.269 --> 00:32:56.089
you, Lord. Thank you, God. Thank you for our
00:32:56.089 --> 00:32:58.170
friends here on our podcast who may be paused
00:32:58.170 --> 00:33:01.009
and prayed with us when we prayed for her. Maybe
00:33:01.009 --> 00:33:03.170
when you listen to this podcast. Pray again.
00:33:03.410 --> 00:33:05.609
Through her name up. Yeah. She's a fireball.
00:33:05.710 --> 00:33:09.690
I mean, she is Spitfire. Can you imagine what
00:33:09.690 --> 00:33:11.630
this kid's going through? What a destiny though.
00:33:11.769 --> 00:33:15.589
What a destiny on her life. Right. And Charles
00:33:15.589 --> 00:33:17.990
even made a comment. This is a story, a testimony
00:33:17.990 --> 00:33:20.950
being built. And so, man, it's a hard way to
00:33:20.950 --> 00:33:22.750
build a testimony, but I'm telling you, it's
00:33:22.750 --> 00:33:25.009
going to honor God and be a blessing to a lot
00:33:25.009 --> 00:33:27.109
of people. I'm always excited when I hear these
00:33:27.109 --> 00:33:29.690
stories, kind of like Seamus, who was a kid I
00:33:29.690 --> 00:33:32.410
was praying for. I'm excited to see what the
00:33:32.410 --> 00:33:34.289
Lord's going to do with these kids, because when
00:33:34.289 --> 00:33:38.789
you go through that... What can stop you from
00:33:38.789 --> 00:33:41.609
doing anything you need to do? Everything else
00:33:41.609 --> 00:33:44.630
is butter after that. Exactly. It's beautiful.
00:33:44.930 --> 00:33:48.950
We're so blessed. There's a lot of talk in social
00:33:48.950 --> 00:33:53.369
media about the church. The church hurt me. I'm
00:33:53.369 --> 00:33:55.470
traumatized from the church. I've been triggered
00:33:55.470 --> 00:34:00.069
by going to church. It's kind of like America.
00:34:00.549 --> 00:34:03.130
There's so many people saying terrible things
00:34:03.130 --> 00:34:06.339
and yet when you peel away the handful of people
00:34:06.339 --> 00:34:08.840
that are being critical, judgmental, and negative,
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:11.780
and that's not to say bad things haven't happened.
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:14.800
I would never say that because unfortunately,
00:34:14.940 --> 00:34:17.579
there's bad apples everywhere because where there's
00:34:17.579 --> 00:34:19.360
people, there's going to be sin, there's going
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:24.769
to be issues. But by and large, Man, the Church
00:34:24.769 --> 00:34:28.449
of Jesus Christ doesn't hurt people. People hurt
00:34:28.449 --> 00:34:30.250
people. People hurt people. It's the same thing
00:34:30.250 --> 00:34:33.090
when I say the Holy Spirit's not weird, people
00:34:33.090 --> 00:34:35.730
are weird. Quit blaming the Holy Spirit for the
00:34:35.730 --> 00:34:39.110
weirdness of people. Well, quit blaming the Church
00:34:39.110 --> 00:34:42.739
for the weirdness of people as well, sadly. There
00:34:42.739 --> 00:34:44.960
are people in the church who represent the church
00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:47.500
who've made terrible, gross mistakes. Because
00:34:47.500 --> 00:34:49.860
they're people and they're, hello, humans. And
00:34:49.860 --> 00:34:52.300
God will deal with that. He will have the ultimate
00:34:52.300 --> 00:34:54.639
say. But when I hear something like this from
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:57.760
Charles, I'm just so thankful for what he said
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:00.920
there that, thank God for the church. They're
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:03.820
so blessed. And I love our church. I see how
00:35:03.820 --> 00:35:05.980
people come around our people. All the time.
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:10.019
Funny thing, and this is a good thing. I'm one
00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:12.300
of the last people to get a call when somebody
00:35:12.300 --> 00:35:16.099
goes down, sick or whatever. It used to be where,
00:35:16.619 --> 00:35:17.900
call the pastor, call the pastor, you've got
00:35:17.900 --> 00:35:20.519
to call, you know, that's old school. And one
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:22.880
pastor can't serve us a thousand people. That's
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:26.099
not even, Jesus could only handle 12 and he lost
00:35:26.099 --> 00:35:31.719
one. So, he's down to 11, right? So, what makes
00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:33.880
us think we can handle more than that realistically?
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:37.340
That's why when the church becomes the church,
00:35:37.710 --> 00:35:41.170
I'm the last one to get the call. Their life
00:35:41.170 --> 00:35:43.369
group, their connect group leader gets a call.
00:35:44.190 --> 00:35:46.969
Their brother they met at the men's breakfast
00:35:46.969 --> 00:35:49.510
gets the call. The lady they met, the sister
00:35:49.510 --> 00:35:52.349
that she met at the women's ministry luncheon
00:35:52.349 --> 00:35:56.400
or breakfast, brunch, they get the call. the
00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:58.420
person they sit around in church kind of see
00:35:58.420 --> 00:36:01.239
each other on a red, they get the call. That's
00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:04.179
the church when the church is healthy and firing
00:36:04.179 --> 00:36:06.360
on all eight cylinders and doing what it's supposed
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:09.179
to be doing because we are the church, the people
00:36:09.179 --> 00:36:12.400
are the church, not the pastor, the people. And
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:14.699
just like presidents, pastors will come and go.
00:36:14.780 --> 00:36:16.860
I'm not announcing my departure. I can't wait
00:36:16.860 --> 00:36:19.039
to get back in the saddle. But what I'm saying
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:22.780
is that leadership and pastors and presidents
00:36:22.780 --> 00:36:25.239
and cabinets and All these things come and go,
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:26.960
but at the end of the day, it's the people you
00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:30.559
do life with every day. That's your family. That's
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:33.760
your church. That's your community. And you're
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:36.840
right. We have a very strong one. I mean, just
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:39.019
the other day, Tina's like, oh, we got to go
00:36:39.019 --> 00:36:41.679
bring dinner over to Larry and Jeannie. So what
00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:44.099
happened? Jeannie had an operation. Back surgery.
00:36:46.650 --> 00:36:50.389
They're 70, I think, close to it. So we're just
00:36:50.389 --> 00:36:52.630
making it easy for them. Like, oh, that's so
00:36:52.630 --> 00:36:56.409
cool. That's what the church does. But in order
00:36:56.409 --> 00:36:58.829
to do that, and you've heard me say this a million
00:36:58.829 --> 00:37:02.510
times, connection is protection. You've got to
00:37:02.510 --> 00:37:04.670
be connected. And that takes some effort on your
00:37:04.670 --> 00:37:07.489
part. To have friends, you have to be a friend.
00:37:07.809 --> 00:37:10.610
And to be connected, you have to connect too.
00:37:10.630 --> 00:37:12.989
So it's not just waiting for people to come connect
00:37:12.989 --> 00:37:17.130
with you. It's you having the heart And the courage
00:37:17.130 --> 00:37:19.750
to step out and meet and greet and connect with
00:37:19.750 --> 00:37:23.550
other people. So I connected with someone at
00:37:23.550 --> 00:37:26.170
the men's breakfast, Cody Sharp. I'm not sure
00:37:26.170 --> 00:37:27.570
if you're familiar with Cody. Oh, he is sharp.
00:37:27.789 --> 00:37:29.989
I love Cody. And so I'm sitting there, he has
00:37:29.989 --> 00:37:33.389
his son Jackson, great kid, eight years old.
00:37:33.750 --> 00:37:36.110
And I'm looking at him and I'm like, this guy
00:37:36.110 --> 00:37:38.590
has some funky hearing aids. So let me see, hey
00:37:38.590 --> 00:37:39.949
man, what's up with the hearing aids? Those are
00:37:39.949 --> 00:37:42.010
pretty cool. So I got these, he says, well, they're
00:37:42.010 --> 00:37:45.510
actually a cochlear implants. I said, oh, okay.
00:37:45.769 --> 00:37:48.349
He says, I pretty much couldn't hear anything
00:37:48.349 --> 00:37:51.889
up until two years ago. And so now you have my
00:37:51.889 --> 00:37:55.409
attention. I'm like, oh, this is cool. And we're
00:37:55.409 --> 00:37:59.269
talking and he said, what's it like to hear?
00:37:59.469 --> 00:38:01.750
He said, well, I can hear him. His speaking was
00:38:01.750 --> 00:38:04.829
almost undetectable that he had a hearing issue.
00:38:06.369 --> 00:38:09.920
He says, Well, birds are kind of a problem for
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:12.519
me because I'd never heard them before and they're
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:15.539
loud and they're kind of freaky. And, you know,
00:38:15.539 --> 00:38:17.940
I have three kids at home, two, five and eight.
00:38:18.380 --> 00:38:22.260
And it's kind of chaotic. And I hear everything.
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:24.460
He said, I've never heard cymbals before in my
00:38:24.460 --> 00:38:27.860
life, only drums. And then I said, Hey man, so,
00:38:27.860 --> 00:38:29.780
you know, do you have the Godcast rap? Do you
00:38:29.780 --> 00:38:33.039
listen? He says, yeah, I do. I said, well, do
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:35.460
you listen to, so we get to do this? He says,
00:38:36.029 --> 00:38:39.210
Two voices is still a problem. Wow. Yeah, two
00:38:39.210 --> 00:38:41.889
voices is he's trying to, you know, I guess it
00:38:41.889 --> 00:38:43.909
just takes a while. He has to train his brain
00:38:43.909 --> 00:38:46.309
to separate. That's exactly right. Yeah, to separate
00:38:46.309 --> 00:38:50.530
that. And he says, but music wise, you really
00:38:50.530 --> 00:38:51.909
don't, you know, I'm really not playing what
00:38:51.909 --> 00:38:55.110
I like or what do you like? He says, death metal.
00:38:55.489 --> 00:38:58.210
I'm like death metal. He said, yeah. And he shows,
00:38:58.230 --> 00:39:00.650
he gives me a playlist and this is all, these
00:39:00.650 --> 00:39:04.420
are Christians. Christian, hardcore, death metal.
00:39:05.059 --> 00:39:07.420
It's like vertical worship. I mean, and I'm just
00:39:07.420 --> 00:39:11.960
like, holy moly, I never… Brother, send more
00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:14.000
to me. I just want to get into this. It's great
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:16.679
for working out. Maybe we'll make a whole different
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:19.079
channel of this stuff. Cody, if you're listening,
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:22.219
bro, stay the course. Keep listening. Your brain
00:39:22.219 --> 00:39:25.420
will adjust. Neuroscience tells us it will. So,
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:27.559
be encouraged, brother, and just glad you're
00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:29.320
listening. He's a good guy, man. He is a good
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:33.230
guy. Really, really enjoy. that a lot. So, have
00:39:33.230 --> 00:39:36.110
you prepared for your next messages? I mean,
00:39:36.230 --> 00:39:37.590
have you gotten any… So, here's the deal. I'm
00:39:37.590 --> 00:39:39.389
coming back this weekend. I'm on the worship
00:39:39.389 --> 00:39:41.269
team and I'm going to introduce Rick. That's
00:39:41.269 --> 00:39:43.510
all I get to do. Oh, no. Oh, right. Because he's
00:39:43.510 --> 00:39:45.210
going through 4th of July, right? Of course.
00:39:45.210 --> 00:39:47.010
Yeah, 4th of July, 250th. You know, it's a big
00:39:47.010 --> 00:39:49.949
deal. I thought, gosh, a year ago I asked him
00:39:49.949 --> 00:39:52.539
to do this because I thought… How could we not
00:39:52.539 --> 00:39:55.159
be more appropriate time to have Rick Green in
00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:58.219
the pulpit? Because he's going to be on fire.
00:39:58.380 --> 00:39:59.860
And if people don't know Rick Green, you can
00:39:59.860 --> 00:40:02.599
listen to Wall Builders on the Godcaster app,
00:40:03.079 --> 00:40:07.079
Flashpoint USA, and Patriot Academy. Just go
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:08.960
look at the Patriot Academy. You'll get a good
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:11.000
idea of who Rick Green is. And then the following
00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:14.239
week, we have Todd McDowell in the pulpit from
00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:18.860
Caleb Global now. It used to be Caleb Company,
00:40:19.059 --> 00:40:21.730
but I knew them back in Nashville. and he's a
00:40:21.730 --> 00:40:24.349
phenomenal teacher. So, we'll have him on Saturday
00:40:24.349 --> 00:40:27.250
for a conference, just an all -day conference
00:40:27.250 --> 00:40:29.070
or seminar. Yeah, I'm sad we're missing that
00:40:29.070 --> 00:40:31.230
because I really wanted to be a part of that.
00:40:31.469 --> 00:40:33.469
And then he'll be in the pulpit. I'll be up on
00:40:33.469 --> 00:40:36.210
the guitar again to introduce him. But one treat
00:40:36.210 --> 00:40:39.530
we have is Don Finto, Papa Don Finto, who is
00:40:39.530 --> 00:40:42.889
just a legend in the Christian world, particularly
00:40:42.889 --> 00:40:46.260
missions and ministry to Israel. will be with
00:40:46.260 --> 00:40:48.400
us as well. He doesn't usually travel with them
00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:52.119
to churches, but he wanted to come meet us. We
00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:54.239
stepped in and supported them and brought them
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:56.280
on. We adopted them as one of the ministries
00:40:56.280 --> 00:40:59.099
we support, so Don wanted to come and meet us
00:40:59.099 --> 00:41:05.010
and get to know us. I think it was the title
00:41:05.010 --> 00:41:08.750
of it, What About Israel? It's very clear. This
00:41:08.750 --> 00:41:12.349
is not political. This is not anything. It's
00:41:12.349 --> 00:41:14.389
really just biblical scripture. It's a whole
00:41:14.389 --> 00:41:16.710
day and I really wish I could be there. It's
00:41:16.710 --> 00:41:19.650
going to be rich. Yeah, I bet it will be. Yeah.
00:41:19.989 --> 00:41:21.789
So that's happening. We need that at this moment.
00:41:21.869 --> 00:41:23.750
So I'm not preaching for another three weeks.
00:41:24.809 --> 00:41:27.349
I'm about to bust. Nice work if you can get it,
00:41:27.670 --> 00:41:30.610
pastor. I know, right? But at least I get to
00:41:30.610 --> 00:41:32.929
play guitar and I'm just happy to see our people.
00:41:33.170 --> 00:41:35.530
Really looking forward to that. Can I land the
00:41:35.530 --> 00:41:37.230
plane with a daily grind? I would love for you
00:41:37.230 --> 00:41:39.750
to do that. So today I wrote my first daily grind
00:41:39.750 --> 00:41:41.849
in nine days because I took a break and I've
00:41:41.849 --> 00:41:44.829
never done that in 22 years. It's the first time
00:41:44.829 --> 00:41:46.170
I've ever done it. First of all, you deserve
00:41:46.170 --> 00:41:48.190
it. Thank you. Second of all, I love that you
00:41:48.190 --> 00:41:53.909
kept it going. I just called it Just Jesus. I
00:41:53.909 --> 00:41:55.550
went through the Beatitudes and all I did was
00:41:55.550 --> 00:41:59.449
make a slide graphic with those and that's it.
00:41:59.590 --> 00:42:01.949
No commentary. I'm a big fan of just doing something.
00:42:02.070 --> 00:42:04.869
You know what's crazy? I got more likes and just
00:42:04.869 --> 00:42:07.170
as much as I would have ever if I just was writing.
00:42:07.349 --> 00:42:09.349
So I got, wow, maybe I should stick with this.
00:42:09.349 --> 00:42:12.550
Never take it personally. No, I don't. I actually
00:42:12.550 --> 00:42:15.050
appreciated it. So here's today's daily grind,
00:42:15.130 --> 00:42:17.650
Just Jesus day nine, because I did the ninth
00:42:17.650 --> 00:42:20.840
last. There is a, let me just read that to you
00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:23.739
because it's the scripture, let me pull it up,
00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:31.260
the graphic. It's in Matthew chapter 5. There
00:42:31.260 --> 00:42:34.059
we go. All right. It's Matthew 5, 11, and 12.
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:37.039
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:40.659
you and say all kinds of evil against you falsely
00:42:40.659 --> 00:42:44.159
for my sake. rejoice and be exceedingly glad,
00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:47.079
for great is your reward in heaven, for so they
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:49.800
persecuted the prophets who were before you."
00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:53.260
And then the actual daily grind is simply this.
00:42:54.500 --> 00:42:57.280
There's a cost to committing your life to following
00:42:57.280 --> 00:43:00.480
Jesus. We here in the States have become accustomed
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:03.960
to comfort that real persecution is strange,
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:07.809
so accustomed to comfort, sorry, that Real persecution
00:43:07.809 --> 00:43:10.809
is strange and unfamiliar to us. While we should
00:43:10.809 --> 00:43:13.489
be thankful, this has also served to soften us
00:43:13.489 --> 00:43:16.530
when it comes to going against the grain of culture,
00:43:16.949 --> 00:43:20.170
friendships, media, and entertainment. It's easier
00:43:20.170 --> 00:43:23.369
to just go with the flow. What if walking in
00:43:23.369 --> 00:43:26.730
deeper places with Jesus really does cost us?
00:43:26.969 --> 00:43:30.469
Would we still follow, still speak up, still
00:43:30.469 --> 00:43:33.849
refuse to go along with the crowd? Jesus bids
00:43:33.849 --> 00:43:37.690
us, come and follow me. Now, I want to give a
00:43:37.690 --> 00:43:39.849
quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer out of his book,
00:43:39.929 --> 00:43:41.949
The Cost of Discipleship, which was published
00:43:41.949 --> 00:43:47.809
in 1937, where he was dealing with the Nazi regime
00:43:47.809 --> 00:43:51.289
in Germany as Hitler was rising to power. And
00:43:51.289 --> 00:43:53.429
he wrote this book called The Cost of Discipleship.
00:43:53.449 --> 00:43:57.469
In it, he says this, the cross is laid on every
00:43:57.469 --> 00:44:01.090
Christian. When Christ calls a man, he bids him
00:44:01.090 --> 00:44:04.969
come and die. I mean, this was a man that was
00:44:04.969 --> 00:44:07.210
heading towards his death because he was going
00:44:07.210 --> 00:44:10.309
against the grain of culture, of government,
00:44:10.530 --> 00:44:14.190
of the evil Nazi regime. In Luke 9 .23, I'll
00:44:14.190 --> 00:44:17.030
end with this, then he said to them all, this
00:44:17.030 --> 00:44:19.929
is Jesus speaking, if anyone desires to come
00:44:19.929 --> 00:44:23.909
after me, let him deny himself and take up his
00:44:23.909 --> 00:44:27.849
cross daily and follow me. My heart on writing
00:44:27.849 --> 00:44:31.059
this is that while I'm thrilled and I'm cheering
00:44:31.059 --> 00:44:35.199
on the crowds that are coming to Christ, I want
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:38.480
to see real revival. We'll know real revival
00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:41.219
is here, not just awakening. When we see those
00:44:41.219 --> 00:44:44.199
people that are showing up in masses now at events
00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:47.340
and stadiums all around the world, when we see
00:44:47.340 --> 00:44:50.599
their lives changed and them willing to stay
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:53.280
the course in the midst of persecution and pain,
00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:56.659
and we'll see that's when revival will show up.
00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:59.500
And boy, we need each other in order to do that
00:44:59.500 --> 00:45:03.360
because it is real. The persecution is real and
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:06.679
it can hurt. Even if it's on social media. It's
00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:10.139
like, oh man, that kind of stings. That's beautiful,
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:12.260
brother. Thank you. Thank you so much. So I'm
00:45:12.260 --> 00:45:13.780
going to be in Holland next week, but we'll do
00:45:13.780 --> 00:45:16.639
the show, obviously. Yes. We're going to do it.
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:18.480
We'll work out the details on the timing of that.
00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:21.380
Another transatlantic call. For a few hours difference,
00:45:21.380 --> 00:45:24.860
right? It's six or seven. Yeah, seven hours.
00:45:24.980 --> 00:45:27.579
I am looking forward to it, man. Thank you, brother.
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.920
Have a great trip. Be blessed till Kevin and
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:34.340
Christina plus one. Yes. Send our love from Jimmy
00:45:34.340 --> 00:45:37.099
and Annette. Well, if everything goes according
00:45:37.099 --> 00:45:39.480
to plan, they'll be here maybe September, October.
00:45:39.500 --> 00:45:42.159
Beautiful. And they're bringing the grandbaby
00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:43.940
with them. It's going to be beautiful. Very excited.
00:45:45.139 --> 00:45:47.699
So would you have a fantastic week and we'll
00:45:47.699 --> 00:45:51.239
be back next week because we get to do this.
00:45:57.670 --> 00:46:02.889
We get to do this This is a chance we did not
00:46:02.889 --> 00:46:08.070
miss This is life We get to do this
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.419
Father, we honor you. What a privilege it is
00:00:02.419 --> 00:00:05.700
to be before you. And we truly get to do this.
00:00:05.980 --> 00:00:08.259
And even as we do, we consecrate it to you, Lord,
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:11.339
that all that we do, all that we say would bring
00:00:11.339 --> 00:00:13.759
life, would bring hope, would bring inspiration
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.239
and encouragement to our listeners. And we pray
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:19.160
for them and bless them in Jesus' name. Amen.
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:24.179
Amen. It's Wednesday, July 1st, 2026. We get
00:00:24.179 --> 00:00:45.210
to do this. This is episode number 39. Last days
00:00:45.210 --> 00:00:47.810
of the vacation, my brother. I know. It's weird,
00:00:47.850 --> 00:00:51.509
but it's good because I'm so back in my heart
00:00:51.509 --> 00:00:55.009
and my mind. I had an opportunity this week and
00:00:55.009 --> 00:00:57.729
got a phone call from the hospital that one of
00:00:57.729 --> 00:01:01.210
our church members will go unnamed. went into
00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:03.789
the hospitals, had some complications, and she
00:01:03.789 --> 00:01:06.209
specifically requested that Annette and I come.
00:01:06.569 --> 00:01:08.390
She didn't know we're on vacation or whatever,
00:01:08.510 --> 00:01:11.829
and Annette said, let's go right now. We're in
00:01:11.829 --> 00:01:13.310
our gym clothes. We're getting ready to go to
00:01:13.310 --> 00:01:15.989
the gym. And Annette's like, we got to go. I
00:01:15.989 --> 00:01:18.930
was going to bring this up a little bit later
00:01:18.930 --> 00:01:22.829
in the podcast because I wanted people to know
00:01:22.829 --> 00:01:26.310
that you guys are first responders. I mean you
00:01:26.310 --> 00:01:28.709
really are and and I know that you were on your
00:01:28.709 --> 00:01:30.609
way because we got the same phone call as what
00:01:30.609 --> 00:01:32.569
was going on we're like and we're praying here
00:01:32.569 --> 00:01:35.370
and you know you're like well we're turning around
00:01:35.370 --> 00:01:37.829
we're going right over there and that is I don't
00:01:37.829 --> 00:01:40.170
know if people appreciate that if they ever think
00:01:40.170 --> 00:01:43.159
about that but man That was pretty awesome. You
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.760
truly are first responders. I so appreciate that.
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.939
But it's really our privilege to do it. And she
00:01:49.939 --> 00:01:52.260
was so gracious and just shocked that we showed
00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:54.980
up. And then when she found out we're on vacation,
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.019
she's like, oh no, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is
00:01:58.019 --> 00:02:01.120
what we do. And then Annette said, no, this is
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.540
who we are. And I just said, absolutely, babe.
00:02:04.780 --> 00:02:07.019
This is it. We get to do this. But what it did
00:02:07.019 --> 00:02:10.199
it. it rekindled because I've been in vacation
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:14.340
mode. Our church and our staff are so good about
00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:17.879
when we're gone, they know not to... I mean,
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.699
they're just so gracious. There's no phone calls,
00:02:20.819 --> 00:02:24.060
no emails, no nothing. Here and there, they're
00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:27.500
tiny friends. But also we're that way with our
00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:30.560
team. When we know they're gone, we don't send
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.740
them stuff. We don't loop them in unless it's
00:02:33.740 --> 00:02:37.199
like an emergency or something. So anyway, She
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.280
was so sweet and so gracious and she was just
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.199
so shocked that we showed up on our vacay. We're
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:44.840
like, it doesn't matter. But for me, it reignited
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.360
my heart. I was like, I'm so ready to be back.
00:02:48.379 --> 00:02:52.319
It was a privilege and a pleasure. I'm glad that
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.659
you had a little bit of sun on the vacation because,
00:02:54.939 --> 00:02:57.300
man, if she saw your leg, she might go into cardiac
00:02:57.300 --> 00:03:01.900
arrest. Frightening. Frightening. I'm like, man,
00:03:01.900 --> 00:03:03.560
I'm glad I didn't have to show up in my shorts.
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.900
That would have been no good. I just think that's
00:03:06.900 --> 00:03:09.159
so amazing. Thank you, brother. You want to move
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.120
that wire? Is that in the way for you? It's bugging
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.120
me. Oh, yeah. Go ahead. We're in the Curry Compound
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.560
studio today. Tina and I are getting ready. That
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.669
would mean Tina has packed everything up. as
00:03:21.669 --> 00:03:25.250
we're leaving here in about, what about two and
00:03:25.250 --> 00:03:30.580
a half hours. We're off to Rotterdam. Yeah, man.
00:03:30.580 --> 00:03:32.879
I'm excited for you guys Yeah, well, we're hoping
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.280
that the baby will have the grandbaby will arrive
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.300
when we're there. That would be so nice gift
00:03:37.300 --> 00:03:41.020
This is OCD brother. I'm seeing Sorry, I need
00:03:41.020 --> 00:03:44.520
this one. I'm a musician some chords stage chords
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:51.000
Actually had to put the other mic arm on there
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.919
because the other one broke Oh, it has like a
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.800
little wire on the inside and it snapped The
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.919
little coil or whatever, the spring? Yeah, that's
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.240
a spring mechanism. That's odd. It's a design
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.759
flaw. Is this a new one? It's an old one. I'll
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.780
catch you. I think it's actually better. You've
00:04:08.780 --> 00:04:10.960
got a few spares, so I know. I've got all kinds.
00:04:11.139 --> 00:04:14.180
Don't open that closet. No, no, no. Talking about
00:04:14.180 --> 00:04:17.939
the closet. No, it has not been cleaned up. So
00:04:17.939 --> 00:04:20.839
we're going over there and I don't know if we've
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.839
talked about it on the show, but Christina, my
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.800
daughter, and Kevin, who are expecting the granddaughter,
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:32.439
they've been doing a reality show for Dutch television.
00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:39.639
And in 2003, for a whole bunch of reasons, I
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.399
did a reality show with our family called Adam's
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.680
Family, and Christina was nine or 10 at the time.
00:04:45.699 --> 00:04:49.259
And it really was, there was like a huge legal
00:04:49.259 --> 00:04:51.459
issue with cash, and so I literally could not
00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:57.319
get money out of the ATM. It was a tax IRS in
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:01.160
Holland and they later had to apologize, which
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.480
showed up on page 23 of the newspapers. The Curry's
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.879
in trouble is page one. So they literally, they
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:10.839
can do this in Holland. They can freeze everything,
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.360
all your accounts. It goes back to the shipping
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.779
days where they could block everything if a ship
00:05:16.779 --> 00:05:19.240
hadn't paid its dues or whatever. So it's kind
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.139
of an interesting law. So I literally could not
00:05:21.139 --> 00:05:23.920
get anything out of the ATM. Well, this is a
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.819
problem. But any new money, any new money would
00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:31.500
be okay. And I just seen the Osbournes, which
00:05:31.500 --> 00:05:35.319
an old producer of mine at MTV had done, Greg
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.000
Johnson, and he, he literally had one camera,
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.759
some extra camera guy time. And he decided to
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:43.579
do this with the Osbournes. Of course, that became
00:05:43.579 --> 00:05:46.899
a big hit said, well, we can do that. And so
00:05:46.899 --> 00:05:51.740
we ate 13 episodes. And, you know, I locked it
00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:53.839
up. It's, you know, that's it. No one can ever
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.079
do any re -airs of it. You know, I have all the
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.000
rights. And so that's why it was just a one time
00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.959
thing. And it was actually quite, I thought kind
00:05:59.959 --> 00:06:02.040
of, it was fun to do because I produced it with
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:05.120
two other people. We did it all ourselves. So
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.160
after that came a lot of family reality shows,
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.379
every singer family, everyone had a reality show.
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:16.399
And now 25 years later, they're doing. you know,
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:20.040
fill in the family name 2025, 2026, 25 years
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.339
later. And so they offered Kevin and Christina
00:06:22.339 --> 00:06:26.180
to do this reality show. And I'm like, you know,
00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:28.560
it's not that much of a hassle. It's kind of,
00:06:28.699 --> 00:06:31.439
it's annoying, but it would be a great start,
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.120
you know, cause you, you know, you have a little
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.420
extra cash, you got the baby on the way and Tina
00:06:37.420 --> 00:06:39.660
and I will happily participate, which we have
00:06:39.660 --> 00:06:44.939
done. Now, as a part of that, We gave them some
00:06:44.939 --> 00:06:48.259
rights to some of the old footage, which I have.
00:06:48.379 --> 00:06:51.639
Now, to say I have that means I have all the
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.959
original tapes, which is useless. You can't give
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.240
that to anybody because it's just all raw material.
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:02.160
But I have five DVD sets. And so I needed to
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.100
bring those. And for the whole week, I was anxious
00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:08.639
because I knew that eventually I'd have to go
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.060
locate these five DVD sets. Which is it in the
00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:16.839
closet from hell? Is it in a box in the garage
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.920
one of the many box? I mean there must be 25
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.720
boxes and I was the archives I was yes, and I
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.220
was like, oh man, and I did something that usually
00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:29.500
I do during the moment of frustration For a whole
00:07:29.500 --> 00:07:31.819
day yesterday before I started to search. I said,
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.759
holy spirit Would you please help me find this
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.639
and dude? It is crazy. I didn't even open the,
00:07:39.779 --> 00:07:41.620
I really thought that would be in the hell closet.
00:07:42.220 --> 00:07:44.879
I didn't even open it up. The spirit actually
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.660
sent me to a box, which I don't even remember.
00:07:48.100 --> 00:07:50.699
And the box, it wasn't the box, but it was a
00:07:50.699 --> 00:07:54.379
box filled with photos. I can't even recall from
00:07:54.379 --> 00:07:58.079
when Christina was a baby and just great. I'm
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:00.360
always looking for something for her birthday
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.819
or father's day or something to put, you know,
00:08:02.939 --> 00:08:05.360
to send to her. I'm like, oh, this is a great,
00:08:05.579 --> 00:08:08.720
my social security card, my birth certificate.
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.779
This is a good box. The next box I opened right
00:08:12.779 --> 00:08:15.199
there, it almost jumped out at me. I'm like,
00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:19.779
thank you, Holy Spirit. I just completely believe
00:08:19.779 --> 00:08:23.240
in this stuff, man. That was so helpful. The
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:27.139
helper came through. The helper helped. That's
00:08:27.139 --> 00:08:30.329
what he does. And he delights in doing so. And
00:08:30.329 --> 00:08:33.110
can you imagine, I mean, think about this, you're
00:08:33.110 --> 00:08:35.950
a father. And if your child would reach out to
00:08:35.950 --> 00:08:39.429
you to say, I need help doing this. This is important.
00:08:39.970 --> 00:08:42.049
Would you help me find my keys? What would you
00:08:42.049 --> 00:08:44.629
do? You knock everything down and everybody over
00:08:44.629 --> 00:08:47.269
to get to her house to help her find her keys.
00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:51.830
I mean, that's the father. And when you ask the
00:08:51.830 --> 00:08:56.690
helper, that's his name. He's ready to help.
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.740
I mean, it's crazy because this happens all the
00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:03.480
time and Annette and I, of course, our little
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.100
running thing now is, have you asked the Holy
00:09:06.100 --> 00:09:09.000
Spirit? It's a joke with us because it's like,
00:09:09.299 --> 00:09:12.299
oh no, okay, hold on. Just do it right now because
00:09:12.299 --> 00:09:13.659
you know how it is when you're looking for something.
00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:17.940
You're just not thinking about the big cosmic
00:09:17.940 --> 00:09:19.659
things. You're just thinking about, I need my
00:09:19.659 --> 00:09:24.590
keys or my DVDs, whatever. It's so nice when
00:09:24.590 --> 00:09:27.129
you just pause for a second and it just settles
00:09:27.129 --> 00:09:29.870
you because you go, okay, he knows where it is
00:09:29.870 --> 00:09:33.669
and he will guide me to it. I've done that, but
00:09:33.669 --> 00:09:36.230
this was the first time I did it upfront before
00:09:36.230 --> 00:09:40.110
I went searching. I have to find this and it's
00:09:40.110 --> 00:09:43.809
really important. I was anxious. The whole day
00:09:43.809 --> 00:09:46.990
I'm doing things, I got this pain in my stomach,
00:09:47.129 --> 00:09:49.330
you know, like, oh man, and I know it's hot in
00:09:49.330 --> 00:09:50.990
the garage and I'm going to be sweating, it's
00:09:50.990 --> 00:09:53.970
going to be dripping from me. No, not only did
00:09:53.970 --> 00:09:56.549
I get the DVDs, I got this great bonus of this
00:09:56.549 --> 00:09:58.950
great archive. It was phenomenal. Beautiful.
00:09:59.350 --> 00:10:01.730
Just phenomenal. Love it, brother. He's good
00:10:01.730 --> 00:10:04.309
that way. So do you have the football fever?
00:10:06.469 --> 00:10:10.009
No, I'm much well actually being hanging out
00:10:10.009 --> 00:10:12.710
in airports for hours and hours. We did a lot
00:10:12.710 --> 00:10:15.090
of, you know, they're on all the TVs. So you
00:10:15.090 --> 00:10:17.330
catch yourself watching it. And I count myself
00:10:17.330 --> 00:10:19.409
going, yeah, you know, and that goes, I didn't
00:10:19.409 --> 00:10:21.330
know you liked soccer. I said, I really don't,
00:10:21.429 --> 00:10:23.909
but I'm kind of getting into it. And then laughing
00:10:23.909 --> 00:10:27.169
at all the fake falls, you know, the drama, the
00:10:27.169 --> 00:10:30.809
theater, I laughed my head off. I'm like, that
00:10:30.809 --> 00:10:33.149
guy needs to play some rugby and take a real
00:10:33.149 --> 00:10:35.190
hit. Cause man, that was, he didn't even touch
00:10:35.190 --> 00:10:38.070
that guy. but it's so fun and it's fun to watch
00:10:38.070 --> 00:10:41.529
people in the airport get into it. Everybody's
00:10:41.529 --> 00:10:45.049
watching. Well, I've been watching it because
00:10:45.049 --> 00:10:48.789
I'm the guy who watches. I'll watch the NBA finals.
00:10:48.889 --> 00:10:51.470
I'll watch the Superbowl. I'll watch the World
00:10:51.470 --> 00:10:54.450
Series. Stanley Cup, not so much. I just can't
00:10:54.450 --> 00:10:56.629
follow the puck. It's like that's not for me.
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.419
But I have a couple of teams to root for when
00:10:59.419 --> 00:11:02.879
it comes to the football. So Holland, of course,
00:11:03.139 --> 00:11:05.840
Italy for my sister, both of them have been knocked
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.720
out. I think the USA played last night. I don't
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:12.039
expect, but the Germans were knocked out surprised
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.039
because Dermanshaft as they're known, they usually
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:16.919
get into the final. So it's probably going to
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.500
be France. But they played a game against a new
00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:24.179
team from Curaçao and Curaçao is a Dutch protectorate.
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.720
And they qualified amazing above anyone's expectations.
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:31.639
It's a little island. Oh, wow. Right off. Actually,
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.120
it's north of what I think Venezuela. Only a
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.820
couple of hours from here to fly and very small
00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:41.820
island. I've been there. I don't like going there
00:11:41.820 --> 00:11:43.440
because everyone's Dutch and they know me. It's
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.820
like I don't look at my legs. But they're in
00:11:46.820 --> 00:11:49.120
the World Cup. Now they were beaten by Germany,
00:11:49.340 --> 00:11:53.279
like severely beaten. But what happened was something
00:11:53.399 --> 00:12:22.450
glorious. And I have a clip. Giving the glory
00:12:22.450 --> 00:12:24.570
to God any glory that they receive. They're giving
00:12:24.570 --> 00:12:27.909
it back to God. So That's what I'm seeing and
00:12:27.909 --> 00:12:30.909
I want everybody to be looking for that as well
00:12:30.909 --> 00:12:33.669
So two things one, you know when they scored,
00:12:33.669 --> 00:12:36.169
you know, we spiked the ball. We do a little
00:12:36.169 --> 00:12:39.529
dance. No, they are Throwing their crowns down
00:12:39.529 --> 00:12:42.690
on the pitch which is which is football for field
00:12:42.690 --> 00:12:47.120
right on the pitch and after the game the teams
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.919
are coming together and praying after the game.
00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:54.179
And so the Germans came and prayed with the Even
00:12:54.179 --> 00:12:56.139
the Germans beat him 7 to 1, I mean it was a
00:12:56.139 --> 00:12:58.179
sl - I know. Listen to what it sounded like.
00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:29.299
Isn't that awesome? I got goosebumps, bro. That
00:13:29.299 --> 00:13:32.419
fired me up. Isn't that fantastic? I love this.
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.759
It takes me back to sports days, man. There's
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:37.919
just some adrenaline rush that happens, but to
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:40.840
have that prayer prayed over you, just passionate
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:45.039
and fiery. It changes the tone of the game. I
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.639
mean, you're still going to have your idiots
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.580
out there who are cocky and narcissistic, but
00:13:50.580 --> 00:13:53.889
there's a bunch more. gentlemen beginning to
00:13:53.889 --> 00:13:57.409
rise up, and you're seeing sportsmanship, and
00:13:57.409 --> 00:13:59.210
you're seeing camaraderie, and you're seeing
00:13:59.210 --> 00:14:01.610
them even after a bloodbath on the field, whether
00:14:01.610 --> 00:14:05.610
it's football, basketball, whatever it is, and
00:14:05.610 --> 00:14:07.929
they're meeting out in center field, out in the
00:14:07.929 --> 00:14:12.100
middle. to pray and end it off. Is that starting
00:14:12.100 --> 00:14:14.759
the game or after? That I think is from starting
00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:18.799
the game. Wow. It sounds like everybody. I had
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:20.860
a German player talk about it, but it was all
00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:23.700
in German, so I wasn't going to play that. But
00:14:23.700 --> 00:14:25.720
a couple of German players actually went over
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:29.779
and prayed after the game. So we've got not spiking
00:14:29.779 --> 00:14:32.240
the ball, but laying down the crowns. That is
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:36.340
so cool. As with all good sports, we have a ministry
00:14:36.340 --> 00:14:39.179
in football. A guy who I actually met, Jesse
00:14:39.179 --> 00:14:42.179
Bradley, have you ever heard of him? I think
00:14:42.179 --> 00:14:45.559
he's in Los Angeles. I think he has a church.
00:14:45.580 --> 00:14:48.940
He certainly has a ministry and he was a professional
00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:51.360
soccer player and I got a quick clip from him.
00:14:51.470 --> 00:14:54.070
There's so much happening on many different levels,
00:14:54.490 --> 00:14:56.409
but at the center of it all, it's not really
00:14:56.409 --> 00:14:59.250
about soccer, it's about Jesus. And soccer can
00:14:59.250 --> 00:15:01.809
unite the world, and in the world, attention
00:15:01.809 --> 00:15:04.350
is on the game, but really it's about how God
00:15:04.350 --> 00:15:07.169
transformed lives. And last World Cup, well,
00:15:07.230 --> 00:15:10.230
four years ago, we had an online outreach and
00:15:10.230 --> 00:15:13.129
shared about Jesus and hope, the gospel. The
00:15:13.129 --> 00:15:16.169
good news is that Jesus died first, sins is risen,
00:15:16.250 --> 00:15:18.950
it's not religion, it's relationship. And we
00:15:18.950 --> 00:15:22.799
saw 480 ,000 people. start a relationship with
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.659
Jesus, make a first -time decision to follow
00:15:24.659 --> 00:15:27.019
the Lord, and then lead them into discipleship
00:15:27.019 --> 00:15:29.580
as well. We're still celebrating what God did
00:15:29.580 --> 00:15:32.519
four years ago, but now God is moving in this
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:37.039
World Cup. God does beyond what we could ask
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.820
or think, and he gets all the glory. Amen. That's
00:15:40.820 --> 00:15:43.159
so awesome. Football, who thought? Man, that's
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.980
beautiful. Of course, you and I both have laughed
00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:51.710
and enjoyed how listening to those who are visiting
00:15:51.710 --> 00:15:56.590
our country get overwhelmed, just whelmed over
00:15:56.590 --> 00:16:01.629
by everything like Costco. Ranch dressing. All
00:16:01.629 --> 00:16:07.929
of that. It's made me take a step back and appreciate
00:16:07.929 --> 00:16:11.769
our nation. What a time to think that way, right
00:16:11.769 --> 00:16:15.309
as we're stepping into the 250th and to say,
00:16:15.490 --> 00:16:18.509
Lord, thank you for our blessings. It's so easy
00:16:18.509 --> 00:16:21.330
to get caught up. I'm so pushed back from social
00:16:21.330 --> 00:16:24.950
media right now. I've enjoyed not writing a daily
00:16:24.950 --> 00:16:27.129
grind, even though I do love doing it. I started
00:16:27.129 --> 00:16:29.690
it back today, but I've just been posting scripture
00:16:29.690 --> 00:16:32.850
as opposed to writing. It's been very refreshing
00:16:32.850 --> 00:16:36.970
for me and it brought me back strong. I just
00:16:36.970 --> 00:16:39.269
love what's happening where people are seeing
00:16:39.269 --> 00:16:42.509
things in a sense of, I don't know that we're
00:16:42.509 --> 00:16:45.230
at what I would call full -blown revival by definition,
00:16:45.269 --> 00:16:47.899
but we are definitely at an awakening. You know,
00:16:48.100 --> 00:16:50.720
it's interesting. I hadn't even prepared this,
00:16:51.299 --> 00:16:54.299
but regarding that, because there's two ways
00:16:54.299 --> 00:16:57.039
you can look at it. You know, the the cynical
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.639
way is all they care about is, you know, our
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.160
fast food and, you know, stuff like that. But
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:06.980
it's just like you said, it's doing something
00:17:06.980 --> 00:17:11.380
to us. It's doing something inside of us. I'm
00:17:11.380 --> 00:17:13.880
just trying to see if I can find this because
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.640
Bill Maher, of all people. Interesting, because
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.440
I was actually thinking about that, his little
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:22.400
spot there, because that's who reminded me to
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.940
really think about this, of all people. Let's
00:17:24.940 --> 00:17:27.000
listen to this. There actually are some good
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.000
things about us. There's a whole, he has a whole
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.960
setup about, actually the setup is kind of worth
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.009
playing, I think. Go ahead, man. And finally,
00:17:37.190 --> 00:17:39.930
let's all give it up for soccer being the greatest
00:17:39.930 --> 00:17:48.549
sport. No. Not the game itself. That sucks. I
00:17:48.549 --> 00:17:51.029
mean, there's more scoring at a Star Trek convention.
00:17:57.660 --> 00:18:00.839
But I am loving that the World Cup has brought
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.240
to our shores all these people who are doing
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:06.420
Americans the service of Reminding us just when
00:18:06.420 --> 00:18:09.900
we needed it on our big 250 birthday But actually
00:18:09.900 --> 00:18:21.460
this place is kind of awesome. Yeah Yes, I know
00:18:21.460 --> 00:18:23.880
how dare I how privileged when there are so many
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:26.660
problems and threats and people left behind all
00:18:26.660 --> 00:18:29.279
true I could give you the statistics where we
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.440
are not good enough and have done so many times.
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:36.640
Infant mortality rate, 54th in the world. Women
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:40.480
in government, 85th. Overdose deaths, lack of
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:44.160
health insurance. Yes, many problems. But that's
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:46.759
because the name of our country is America, not
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:48.940
utopia. That was actually a really good line.
00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:52.309
I thought it was good. What everyone has done,
00:18:52.410 --> 00:18:54.970
what even I did, although it was for early identification
00:18:54.970 --> 00:18:56.730
purposes, is look at all these people and what
00:18:56.730 --> 00:18:58.930
they're saying. He kind of turned it around and
00:18:58.930 --> 00:19:02.390
said, look how happy we should be. How happy
00:19:02.390 --> 00:19:04.690
we should be about our country. There actually
00:19:04.690 --> 00:19:07.750
are some good things about us. Even with all
00:19:07.750 --> 00:19:11.109
the ICE nonsense, we have more immigrants than
00:19:11.109 --> 00:19:14.250
the next four countries combined. We have to
00:19:14.250 --> 00:19:16.509
fight for it, but still have freedom of speech.
00:19:17.340 --> 00:19:20.380
assembly and trial by jury and even if you're
00:19:20.380 --> 00:19:22.960
found guilty you can still ask a Kardashian to
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:31.960
get you a pardon other countries struggle just
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:35.559
to have water here we make it put on a show in
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:47.250
the desert We have drive -throughs for both church
00:19:47.250 --> 00:19:49.509
and... Yeah, I'm gonna skip a couple of these.
00:19:50.150 --> 00:19:53.309
It gets a little launchy. I can't imagine. But
00:19:53.309 --> 00:19:56.269
he basically says, hey, you know, this is a great
00:19:56.269 --> 00:20:00.150
country. Yeah, we have our problems. But it's
00:20:00.150 --> 00:20:03.339
so true. And it kind of comes back to what we
00:20:03.339 --> 00:20:05.160
were talking about on the last show. You get
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:09.799
so myopic and so focused on a screen and you
00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:13.700
forget everything that's around you. It's so
00:20:13.700 --> 00:20:16.019
good. That's what it's doing for me. Beautiful.
00:20:16.140 --> 00:20:19.480
For me too. And I get so encouraged by it because
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:22.920
I'm like, if a guy from France, and we visited
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.339
France in 2019 and they didn't seem to like us
00:20:26.339 --> 00:20:28.680
very much. I'm just straight up, especially the
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:31.230
waiters and waitresses. you know, I was like,
00:20:31.250 --> 00:20:32.710
hey, could you bring me my check? They don't
00:20:32.710 --> 00:20:34.809
like each other. They don't like each other.
00:20:34.930 --> 00:20:36.970
Don't worry about it. Well, okay. So I don't
00:20:36.970 --> 00:20:39.509
feel bad. I didn't feel bad. But anyway, to hear
00:20:39.509 --> 00:20:42.150
a French guy saying, you know, Costco, I'll give
00:20:42.150 --> 00:20:44.970
my right arm for Costco. Revolution. Yeah. Revolution.
00:20:45.450 --> 00:20:48.250
I'll start a revolution for Costco. I just, I'm
00:20:48.250 --> 00:20:53.819
like, wow. we need to step back and put our screens
00:20:53.819 --> 00:20:56.500
down and pick up our Bibles and say, thank you,
00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:59.480
God, that we get to live in the most amazing
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:04.180
country in America and forgive those of us who
00:21:04.180 --> 00:21:07.059
have complained and who have put this nation
00:21:07.059 --> 00:21:09.819
down and who have tried to destroy this nation.
00:21:10.250 --> 00:21:13.509
and Father, let us stand up straight again, upright,
00:21:13.809 --> 00:21:16.630
righteous before you." And so, that's what it's
00:21:16.630 --> 00:21:20.190
doing for me. It's bringing me back to my foundations
00:21:20.190 --> 00:21:24.049
as a believer of gratitude and thanksgiving,
00:21:24.509 --> 00:21:26.730
which is, the scripture says, is the will of
00:21:26.730 --> 00:21:30.210
God. It is the will of God to give thanks. And
00:21:30.210 --> 00:21:33.609
so, that's what it's doing for me. And I'm excited
00:21:33.609 --> 00:21:35.990
not only about that, but another thing that makes
00:21:35.990 --> 00:21:40.309
me thankful is seeing All the sports teams praying.
00:21:40.529 --> 00:21:44.029
I mean, these poor commentators, especially down
00:21:44.029 --> 00:21:45.849
on the field, they know what's going to happen
00:21:45.849 --> 00:21:47.869
when they hand the mic to a football player.
00:21:48.789 --> 00:21:52.269
I think Jesus Christ, the gospel, it changes
00:21:52.269 --> 00:21:55.750
my life. I mean, it is just happening. It's really
00:21:55.750 --> 00:21:58.029
steamrolling right now. Did you see the guy with
00:21:58.029 --> 00:22:01.930
the three nails? No, no. I just ordered my first
00:22:01.930 --> 00:22:05.559
three nails. Workout shorts. He had like three
00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:09.400
long, long nails and he was doing an after show
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:12.619
comp. Gosh, I wish I knew who that was. The American
00:22:12.619 --> 00:22:15.720
guy. And he says, you know, these three nails
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.279
and he went into the whole story of the crucifixion,
00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:21.920
but in graphic detail, passion of the Christ
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:25.619
Mel Gibson movie level detail. Wow. And I just
00:22:25.619 --> 00:22:27.240
sat like. And there was, you could have heard
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:30.019
a pin drop in the press room. And he says, and
00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:32.039
that's, and that's why I'm grateful. And you
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:35.559
know, just so good. It was, it was like, whoa.
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:38.019
So can I share something from Jeremy Camp? You
00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:40.619
don't have to ask me to share anything, brother.
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:42.460
You go for it. It's right in line with all of
00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:44.960
this. I love Jeremy Camp because he's a contemporary
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:46.920
Christian music artist. I hear him all the time.
00:22:47.099 --> 00:22:49.460
And hello friend. Phenomenal. Yes. And he's got
00:22:49.460 --> 00:22:52.079
big guns too. The dude is pumped. He's juiced.
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:55.559
But he's just a great guy. When we lived in Nashville,
00:22:55.819 --> 00:22:58.799
they attended our church and his wife, Addie
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:00.660
was on the worship team. He wasn't because I'm
00:23:00.660 --> 00:23:02.740
sure he's got clauses where he can't do that.
00:23:02.940 --> 00:23:05.240
But she was on the worship team regularly and
00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:07.000
it'd be nothing to look down the row and say,
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:09.880
oh, there's Jeremy Camp and his kids. So, really
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:12.180
cool family. But listen to what he writes about
00:23:12.180 --> 00:23:14.299
revival. He just wrote a song called Revival.
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:17.539
And he says, throughout scripture, revival begins
00:23:17.539 --> 00:23:21.279
with God's people humbling themselves, repenting,
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:24.759
and allowing him to transform their hearts. It's
00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:27.559
not simply about counting decisions, it's about
00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:30.660
seeing lives changed. It's about forgiveness
00:23:30.660 --> 00:23:34.539
replacing bitterness, purity replacing compromise,
00:23:35.259 --> 00:23:38.880
humility replacing pride, and the fruit of repentance
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:42.640
becoming evident in everyday life. Real revival
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.400
doesn't stop at the altar, it follows us home.
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.940
It changes the way we love our spouses, raise
00:23:48.940 --> 00:23:52.259
our children, treat our neighbors, serve our
00:23:52.259 --> 00:23:55.380
communities and represent Christ in our schools
00:23:55.380 --> 00:23:58.319
and workplace. Because revival is not merely
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:01.220
measured by how many people gather, it's ultimately
00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:05.640
revealed by how many people are changed. Isn't
00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:09.000
that rich? This folds right into our brother,
00:24:09.140 --> 00:24:11.259
Rick Green, who spoke at the men's breakfast
00:24:11.259 --> 00:24:15.279
on Saturday. I hated to miss that. You would
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.319
have loved being there. I'm so glad that we're
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:20.299
expanding the space because it was a hundred
00:24:20.299 --> 00:24:23.220
and thirty four men pretty much study room only
00:24:23.220 --> 00:24:27.779
one thirty one thirty seven and Crazy and Rick's
00:24:27.779 --> 00:24:31.119
message was not dissimilar to Jeremy But he was
00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:34.559
saying as men we have an obligation. We can start
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:38.519
this at home Pray with our wives with our children,
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:40.640
you know He actually he did something we've talked
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:42.759
about that you preach from the pulpit going through
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:45.200
the Lord's Prayer and stopping at each piece
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.660
and how can I um, you know, what can I pray specifically
00:24:48.660 --> 00:24:51.880
about, you know, uh, daily bread or forgive us
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:54.859
of our debts or even our father art in heaven.
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:57.920
And it was so motivating. And it was, and there
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:00.420
was a lot of young men, like eight, nine years
00:25:00.420 --> 00:25:04.980
old. And I just have to say Jonah Mandel, pastor
00:25:04.980 --> 00:25:08.460
Brian's son, who just turned 15. He was still
00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:11.140
14 and he had something to say about something
00:25:11.140 --> 00:25:13.500
that he had. learned at the camp because they
00:25:13.500 --> 00:25:16.880
were all at camp this past week. So Pastor Brian
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:19.279
invited him to come up there and talk and then
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:22.200
also invited him to do the closing prayer. And
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:23.839
brother, I got to tell you, we got a couple of
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:26.569
generations lined up in our church. but he had
00:25:26.569 --> 00:25:31.009
the Mandel shuffle, man. It was awesome. He was
00:25:31.009 --> 00:25:34.170
doing left and right and back and forth. And
00:25:34.170 --> 00:25:37.269
they say, Ms. Adam, Ms. Adam, I think I'm ready
00:25:37.269 --> 00:25:39.130
to get the podcast going again. I'm like, oh
00:25:39.130 --> 00:25:45.650
yeah. Okay. Yeah. be able to do it solo without
00:25:45.650 --> 00:25:48.410
relying on anybody. He has to get to that barrier
00:25:48.410 --> 00:25:51.029
of, I'm talking into a microphone, into a void.
00:25:51.809 --> 00:25:54.210
There's no one in the pews. Oh, he can do it.
00:25:54.210 --> 00:25:56.329
He's solid. He's so good. I know he can. I know
00:25:56.329 --> 00:25:59.170
he can, so I'm excited. Actually, I did a pilot
00:25:59.170 --> 00:26:01.289
yesterday for another podcast that will come
00:26:01.289 --> 00:26:04.250
out of our church from Windy. Are you familiar
00:26:04.250 --> 00:26:11.609
with Windy? It's also with a W. Yeah, Windy Witzhead.
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:14.859
I think you're right. Winstead. Winstead. Winstead.
00:26:15.579 --> 00:26:18.640
She's sharp. Winstead, yes. She is sharp. So
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.460
she had this idea, which I think she talked to
00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:26.039
pastor to Annette about it and to you. And I
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:27.819
think Dame Annette said, Oh yeah, Adam will do
00:26:27.819 --> 00:26:30.940
that. Just call him. Here's his number. She was
00:26:30.940 --> 00:26:33.900
right. That was, that was a move by the spirit.
00:26:34.140 --> 00:26:35.980
And I talked to her on the phone and said, come
00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:37.680
on, we'll do a pilot and we'll see how it goes.
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:41.589
It's called, I know a woman and it's essentially
00:26:41.589 --> 00:26:45.690
each episode is maybe a 12 to 17 minute nice
00:26:45.690 --> 00:26:50.930
testimonial of someone who either can't or doesn't
00:26:50.930 --> 00:26:54.329
want to do it herself and so she's written it
00:26:54.329 --> 00:26:58.410
out I mean I was choked up man I'm just gonna
00:26:58.410 --> 00:27:00.450
all I had to do was just record and it was one
00:27:00.450 --> 00:27:04.190
take she said she has a beautiful voice just
00:27:04.190 --> 00:27:06.950
went straight through not a single stop not a
00:27:06.950 --> 00:27:09.309
single pick up I'm like I'm stunned. I'm like,
00:27:09.490 --> 00:27:11.369
all I have to do is just put some stuff at the
00:27:11.369 --> 00:27:13.650
beginning and the end and this is a show. I'm
00:27:13.650 --> 00:27:17.490
excited to get it on our Godcaster station. Of
00:27:17.490 --> 00:27:19.390
course, it'll be everywhere as a podcast, but
00:27:19.390 --> 00:27:23.250
oh man, this is so good. She's funny too. She's
00:27:23.250 --> 00:27:26.549
great. We sat down with her a while back and
00:27:26.549 --> 00:27:30.730
we left that meeting just lifted and encouraged
00:27:30.730 --> 00:27:34.430
by her story and just what God's doing in her
00:27:34.430 --> 00:27:37.009
life and in and through her, but also others.
00:27:38.110 --> 00:27:41.730
But I'm so happy. One of the big wins for me
00:27:41.730 --> 00:27:46.690
was that we got to use our studios for somebody
00:27:46.690 --> 00:27:49.289
in the church. This is why we built that studio,
00:27:49.390 --> 00:27:51.170
as I've told Annette. This is why we did this,
00:27:51.289 --> 00:27:54.009
not just for us. It's just to get more voices
00:27:54.009 --> 00:27:58.710
out there, more people getting bold, staying
00:27:58.710 --> 00:28:01.470
the course. stepping up to the plate and saying,
00:28:01.509 --> 00:28:03.269
you know what? I have a voice and I have something
00:28:03.269 --> 00:28:05.910
to say. Yeah. Well, we actually have a studio.
00:28:06.109 --> 00:28:08.009
You can do that in. We have a studio. We have
00:28:08.009 --> 00:28:09.970
a platform. We want that to be a blessing. And
00:28:09.970 --> 00:28:16.470
then Doug, Doug, also from our church, Doug,
00:28:16.470 --> 00:28:20.869
Doug Brand, Doug Fire, Doug. Spredo? Flames.
00:28:21.529 --> 00:28:24.710
We have several Dougs. I love this. Hold on a
00:28:24.710 --> 00:28:29.099
second. Let me see. It was Doug. Oh, man. Doug
00:28:29.099 --> 00:28:32.799
Burns. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's done radio. Yeah.
00:28:33.019 --> 00:28:35.539
And he's like, because I was talking to Matt
00:28:35.539 --> 00:28:37.759
Long after the breakfast and he says, Oh, I want
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:39.680
you to meet Doug. You know, Doug's been in radio,
00:28:39.859 --> 00:28:42.019
rock and roll radio and doesn't look like anything
00:28:42.019 --> 00:28:43.980
like the rock and roll radio guy you'd expect,
00:28:44.500 --> 00:28:47.980
but typical also. I said, yeah, I've got this
00:28:47.980 --> 00:28:50.119
interview podcast and I've got everything all
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:52.900
set up and I've got the gear and everything good
00:28:52.900 --> 00:28:55.180
to go. But I need a host. I said, you need a
00:28:55.180 --> 00:28:58.200
host. So what do you mean? Like someone to host
00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:00.000
it? He says, no, no, I'm going to do it. I need,
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:02.980
how do I get it into a podcast? I said, oh, hello.
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:10.160
This is exactly what we want to do here at Bridge
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:12.720
Charge. We'll get you up on rss .com because
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:15.519
we have a partnership with them and we'll get
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:18.740
this rolling. So, I mean - He's sharp. I did
00:29:18.740 --> 00:29:21.539
an interview with him like nine years ago when
00:29:21.539 --> 00:29:24.119
we first came here and when he found out I played
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:27.210
guitar and stuff. he started talking about contemporary
00:29:27.210 --> 00:29:29.650
Christian music and he had a show on one of the
00:29:29.650 --> 00:29:32.430
local radio stations here where he would do this,
00:29:32.849 --> 00:29:37.150
he'd do like old hits like 70s, 80s, 90s Christian
00:29:37.150 --> 00:29:40.799
music. It was so good. and he's a great voice.
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:42.880
And so, yeah, he'll be good. So that's another
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:46.119
one. So we're just becoming like a podcast ministry,
00:29:46.339 --> 00:29:48.339
man. I'm excited by this. Well, I told you a
00:29:48.339 --> 00:29:50.220
while back, I said, you know, every church has
00:29:50.220 --> 00:29:52.980
a lane. Yeah. And I feel like our lane is something
00:29:52.980 --> 00:29:56.279
that was spoken to me back in the 1990s. And
00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:01.359
of all places, Hesperia, California, with an
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:04.539
evangelist named Jojo Sanchez, who stopped me.
00:30:04.700 --> 00:30:07.259
And he said, I remember it was the mid -90s.
00:30:07.259 --> 00:30:10.839
He says, He says, I want to say something to
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:12.680
you by the spirit. And he said, if you're ready.
00:30:12.819 --> 00:30:15.240
I said, yeah. He said, have you ever done anything
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:17.740
with multimedia? Remember multimedia, stacked
00:30:17.740 --> 00:30:21.460
projectors? CD -ROMs. Kodak. I mean like thousands
00:30:21.460 --> 00:30:26.019
and thousands of slides. And I said, no, but
00:30:26.019 --> 00:30:29.119
I'm fascinated. He said, get ready. You're going
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:32.809
to speak to millions. through multimedia. Now,
00:30:32.809 --> 00:30:34.690
he had mentioned the internet because I was just
00:30:34.690 --> 00:30:36.990
starting to get some traction. Yeah. I mean,
00:30:37.089 --> 00:30:40.130
mid -90s. Sure. Yeah. Wow. I mean, I had Juno
00:30:40.130 --> 00:30:42.109
at that time, I think, or America Online, one
00:30:42.109 --> 00:30:46.869
of those. Prodigy. Prodigy. I've had all of those.
00:30:46.990 --> 00:30:50.490
I was an early adopter. Yeah. And so doing what
00:30:50.490 --> 00:30:53.329
we're doing right now is so natural to me because
00:30:53.329 --> 00:30:56.210
I know this is what the Lord said was going to
00:30:56.210 --> 00:30:59.460
happen back in the 90s. So here we are, brother.
00:30:59.700 --> 00:31:02.559
And here we are, sitting in the studio. I love
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:06.339
it. So we have a praise report. Come on. Oh,
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:10.279
yes. Which now on the last show, we actually
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:12.660
stopped in the middle of the show and prayed
00:31:12.660 --> 00:31:17.200
for Viola. She's Charles's daughter, Charles,
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:22.460
and trying to think what his wife's name is.
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:28.009
I can't remember. Sorry. but they were on their
00:31:28.009 --> 00:31:31.549
way and he was keeping us updated on email. And
00:31:31.549 --> 00:31:34.349
I just read a little bit of this. I mean, it's
00:31:34.349 --> 00:31:38.670
a lot of detail, but the bottom line is, he says,
00:31:38.710 --> 00:31:41.609
our God is so good, praise report incoming, Tracy
00:31:41.609 --> 00:31:45.990
is her name. And she came out of surgery fine,
00:31:46.809 --> 00:31:49.130
a little touch and go with fluids and they had
00:31:49.130 --> 00:31:51.170
to intubate her, but then they took her off,
00:31:51.230 --> 00:31:54.109
they got her on the CPAP, then the CPAP could
00:31:54.109 --> 00:31:58.809
come off. and hoping to move out of the cardiac
00:31:58.809 --> 00:32:01.809
ICU today or tomorrow. So, praying for healing
00:32:01.809 --> 00:32:04.849
and protection against infection. And I just
00:32:04.849 --> 00:32:06.990
love what he says here. Trace and I are so grateful
00:32:06.990 --> 00:32:09.609
for our Lord's grace and all the prayers we've
00:32:09.609 --> 00:32:12.529
been receiving nationwide. And remember, this
00:32:12.529 --> 00:32:14.930
could have gone completely the opposite direction.
00:32:15.289 --> 00:32:17.849
And they were more concerned about even deciding
00:32:17.849 --> 00:32:20.250
to do the operation to give the go ahead. That
00:32:20.250 --> 00:32:23.599
was the big decision. Yeah. Viola is on prayer
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:26.160
list from Virginia to California. Our home church,
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:28.720
New Hope Assembly of God in Urbandale, Iowa has
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:31.700
circled around us with support. Our pastor Brian
00:32:31.700 --> 00:32:34.319
even offered to fly to Boston for the surgery.
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:37.119
It's so humbling to be surrounded by such loving
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:39.240
people. I don't know how people go through life
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:43.319
without God's church," says Charles. Wow. And
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:45.400
so thank you all for praying and don't stop.
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:48.539
Don't stop praying for Viola and Charles and
00:32:48.539 --> 00:32:50.019
Trace. And I think they have another daughter
00:32:50.019 --> 00:32:53.269
as well. Beautiful. So happy to hear that. Thank
00:32:53.269 --> 00:32:56.089
you, Lord. Thank you, God. Thank you for our
00:32:56.089 --> 00:32:58.170
friends here on our podcast who may be paused
00:32:58.170 --> 00:33:01.009
and prayed with us when we prayed for her. Maybe
00:33:01.009 --> 00:33:03.170
when you listen to this podcast. Pray again.
00:33:03.410 --> 00:33:05.609
Through her name up. Yeah. She's a fireball.
00:33:05.710 --> 00:33:09.690
I mean, she is Spitfire. Can you imagine what
00:33:09.690 --> 00:33:11.630
this kid's going through? What a destiny though.
00:33:11.769 --> 00:33:15.589
What a destiny on her life. Right. And Charles
00:33:15.589 --> 00:33:17.990
even made a comment. This is a story, a testimony
00:33:17.990 --> 00:33:20.950
being built. And so, man, it's a hard way to
00:33:20.950 --> 00:33:22.750
build a testimony, but I'm telling you, it's
00:33:22.750 --> 00:33:25.009
going to honor God and be a blessing to a lot
00:33:25.009 --> 00:33:27.109
of people. I'm always excited when I hear these
00:33:27.109 --> 00:33:29.690
stories, kind of like Seamus, who was a kid I
00:33:29.690 --> 00:33:32.410
was praying for. I'm excited to see what the
00:33:32.410 --> 00:33:34.289
Lord's going to do with these kids, because when
00:33:34.289 --> 00:33:38.789
you go through that... What can stop you from
00:33:38.789 --> 00:33:41.609
doing anything you need to do? Everything else
00:33:41.609 --> 00:33:44.630
is butter after that. Exactly. It's beautiful.
00:33:44.930 --> 00:33:48.950
We're so blessed. There's a lot of talk in social
00:33:48.950 --> 00:33:53.369
media about the church. The church hurt me. I'm
00:33:53.369 --> 00:33:55.470
traumatized from the church. I've been triggered
00:33:55.470 --> 00:34:00.069
by going to church. It's kind of like America.
00:34:00.549 --> 00:34:03.130
There's so many people saying terrible things
00:34:03.130 --> 00:34:06.339
and yet when you peel away the handful of people
00:34:06.339 --> 00:34:08.840
that are being critical, judgmental, and negative,
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:11.780
and that's not to say bad things haven't happened.
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:14.800
I would never say that because unfortunately,
00:34:14.940 --> 00:34:17.579
there's bad apples everywhere because where there's
00:34:17.579 --> 00:34:19.360
people, there's going to be sin, there's going
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:24.769
to be issues. But by and large, Man, the Church
00:34:24.769 --> 00:34:28.449
of Jesus Christ doesn't hurt people. People hurt
00:34:28.449 --> 00:34:30.250
people. People hurt people. It's the same thing
00:34:30.250 --> 00:34:33.090
when I say the Holy Spirit's not weird, people
00:34:33.090 --> 00:34:35.730
are weird. Quit blaming the Holy Spirit for the
00:34:35.730 --> 00:34:39.110
weirdness of people. Well, quit blaming the Church
00:34:39.110 --> 00:34:42.739
for the weirdness of people as well, sadly. There
00:34:42.739 --> 00:34:44.960
are people in the church who represent the church
00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:47.500
who've made terrible, gross mistakes. Because
00:34:47.500 --> 00:34:49.860
they're people and they're, hello, humans. And
00:34:49.860 --> 00:34:52.300
God will deal with that. He will have the ultimate
00:34:52.300 --> 00:34:54.639
say. But when I hear something like this from
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:57.760
Charles, I'm just so thankful for what he said
00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:00.920
there that, thank God for the church. They're
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:03.820
so blessed. And I love our church. I see how
00:35:03.820 --> 00:35:05.980
people come around our people. All the time.
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:10.019
Funny thing, and this is a good thing. I'm one
00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:12.300
of the last people to get a call when somebody
00:35:12.300 --> 00:35:16.099
goes down, sick or whatever. It used to be where,
00:35:16.619 --> 00:35:17.900
call the pastor, call the pastor, you've got
00:35:17.900 --> 00:35:20.519
to call, you know, that's old school. And one
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:22.880
pastor can't serve us a thousand people. That's
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:26.099
not even, Jesus could only handle 12 and he lost
00:35:26.099 --> 00:35:31.719
one. So, he's down to 11, right? So, what makes
00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:33.880
us think we can handle more than that realistically?
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:37.340
That's why when the church becomes the church,
00:35:37.710 --> 00:35:41.170
I'm the last one to get the call. Their life
00:35:41.170 --> 00:35:43.369
group, their connect group leader gets a call.
00:35:44.190 --> 00:35:46.969
Their brother they met at the men's breakfast
00:35:46.969 --> 00:35:49.510
gets the call. The lady they met, the sister
00:35:49.510 --> 00:35:52.349
that she met at the women's ministry luncheon
00:35:52.349 --> 00:35:56.400
or breakfast, brunch, they get the call. the
00:35:56.400 --> 00:35:58.420
person they sit around in church kind of see
00:35:58.420 --> 00:36:01.239
each other on a red, they get the call. That's
00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:04.179
the church when the church is healthy and firing
00:36:04.179 --> 00:36:06.360
on all eight cylinders and doing what it's supposed
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:09.179
to be doing because we are the church, the people
00:36:09.179 --> 00:36:12.400
are the church, not the pastor, the people. And
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:14.699
just like presidents, pastors will come and go.
00:36:14.780 --> 00:36:16.860
I'm not announcing my departure. I can't wait
00:36:16.860 --> 00:36:19.039
to get back in the saddle. But what I'm saying
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:22.780
is that leadership and pastors and presidents
00:36:22.780 --> 00:36:25.239
and cabinets and All these things come and go,
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:26.960
but at the end of the day, it's the people you
00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:30.559
do life with every day. That's your family. That's
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:33.760
your church. That's your community. And you're
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:36.840
right. We have a very strong one. I mean, just
00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:39.019
the other day, Tina's like, oh, we got to go
00:36:39.019 --> 00:36:41.679
bring dinner over to Larry and Jeannie. So what
00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:44.099
happened? Jeannie had an operation. Back surgery.
00:36:46.650 --> 00:36:50.389
They're 70, I think, close to it. So we're just
00:36:50.389 --> 00:36:52.630
making it easy for them. Like, oh, that's so
00:36:52.630 --> 00:36:56.409
cool. That's what the church does. But in order
00:36:56.409 --> 00:36:58.829
to do that, and you've heard me say this a million
00:36:58.829 --> 00:37:02.510
times, connection is protection. You've got to
00:37:02.510 --> 00:37:04.670
be connected. And that takes some effort on your
00:37:04.670 --> 00:37:07.489
part. To have friends, you have to be a friend.
00:37:07.809 --> 00:37:10.610
And to be connected, you have to connect too.
00:37:10.630 --> 00:37:12.989
So it's not just waiting for people to come connect
00:37:12.989 --> 00:37:17.130
with you. It's you having the heart And the courage
00:37:17.130 --> 00:37:19.750
to step out and meet and greet and connect with
00:37:19.750 --> 00:37:23.550
other people. So I connected with someone at
00:37:23.550 --> 00:37:26.170
the men's breakfast, Cody Sharp. I'm not sure
00:37:26.170 --> 00:37:27.570
if you're familiar with Cody. Oh, he is sharp.
00:37:27.789 --> 00:37:29.989
I love Cody. And so I'm sitting there, he has
00:37:29.989 --> 00:37:33.389
his son Jackson, great kid, eight years old.
00:37:33.750 --> 00:37:36.110
And I'm looking at him and I'm like, this guy
00:37:36.110 --> 00:37:38.590
has some funky hearing aids. So let me see, hey
00:37:38.590 --> 00:37:39.949
man, what's up with the hearing aids? Those are
00:37:39.949 --> 00:37:42.010
pretty cool. So I got these, he says, well, they're
00:37:42.010 --> 00:37:45.510
actually a cochlear implants. I said, oh, okay.
00:37:45.769 --> 00:37:48.349
He says, I pretty much couldn't hear anything
00:37:48.349 --> 00:37:51.889
up until two years ago. And so now you have my
00:37:51.889 --> 00:37:55.409
attention. I'm like, oh, this is cool. And we're
00:37:55.409 --> 00:37:59.269
talking and he said, what's it like to hear?
00:37:59.469 --> 00:38:01.750
He said, well, I can hear him. His speaking was
00:38:01.750 --> 00:38:04.829
almost undetectable that he had a hearing issue.
00:38:06.369 --> 00:38:09.920
He says, Well, birds are kind of a problem for
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:12.519
me because I'd never heard them before and they're
00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:15.539
loud and they're kind of freaky. And, you know,
00:38:15.539 --> 00:38:17.940
I have three kids at home, two, five and eight.
00:38:18.380 --> 00:38:22.260
And it's kind of chaotic. And I hear everything.
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:24.460
He said, I've never heard cymbals before in my
00:38:24.460 --> 00:38:27.860
life, only drums. And then I said, Hey man, so,
00:38:27.860 --> 00:38:29.780
you know, do you have the Godcast rap? Do you
00:38:29.780 --> 00:38:33.039
listen? He says, yeah, I do. I said, well, do
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:35.460
you listen to, so we get to do this? He says,
00:38:36.029 --> 00:38:39.210
Two voices is still a problem. Wow. Yeah, two
00:38:39.210 --> 00:38:41.889
voices is he's trying to, you know, I guess it
00:38:41.889 --> 00:38:43.909
just takes a while. He has to train his brain
00:38:43.909 --> 00:38:46.309
to separate. That's exactly right. Yeah, to separate
00:38:46.309 --> 00:38:50.530
that. And he says, but music wise, you really
00:38:50.530 --> 00:38:51.909
don't, you know, I'm really not playing what
00:38:51.909 --> 00:38:55.110
I like or what do you like? He says, death metal.
00:38:55.489 --> 00:38:58.210
I'm like death metal. He said, yeah. And he shows,
00:38:58.230 --> 00:39:00.650
he gives me a playlist and this is all, these
00:39:00.650 --> 00:39:04.420
are Christians. Christian, hardcore, death metal.
00:39:05.059 --> 00:39:07.420
It's like vertical worship. I mean, and I'm just
00:39:07.420 --> 00:39:11.960
like, holy moly, I never… Brother, send more
00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:14.000
to me. I just want to get into this. It's great
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:16.679
for working out. Maybe we'll make a whole different
00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:19.079
channel of this stuff. Cody, if you're listening,
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:22.219
bro, stay the course. Keep listening. Your brain
00:39:22.219 --> 00:39:25.420
will adjust. Neuroscience tells us it will. So,
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:27.559
be encouraged, brother, and just glad you're
00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:29.320
listening. He's a good guy, man. He is a good
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:33.230
guy. Really, really enjoy. that a lot. So, have
00:39:33.230 --> 00:39:36.110
you prepared for your next messages? I mean,
00:39:36.230 --> 00:39:37.590
have you gotten any… So, here's the deal. I'm
00:39:37.590 --> 00:39:39.389
coming back this weekend. I'm on the worship
00:39:39.389 --> 00:39:41.269
team and I'm going to introduce Rick. That's
00:39:41.269 --> 00:39:43.510
all I get to do. Oh, no. Oh, right. Because he's
00:39:43.510 --> 00:39:45.210
going through 4th of July, right? Of course.
00:39:45.210 --> 00:39:47.010
Yeah, 4th of July, 250th. You know, it's a big
00:39:47.010 --> 00:39:49.949
deal. I thought, gosh, a year ago I asked him
00:39:49.949 --> 00:39:52.539
to do this because I thought… How could we not
00:39:52.539 --> 00:39:55.159
be more appropriate time to have Rick Green in
00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:58.219
the pulpit? Because he's going to be on fire.
00:39:58.380 --> 00:39:59.860
And if people don't know Rick Green, you can
00:39:59.860 --> 00:40:02.599
listen to Wall Builders on the Godcaster app,
00:40:03.079 --> 00:40:07.079
Flashpoint USA, and Patriot Academy. Just go
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:08.960
look at the Patriot Academy. You'll get a good
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:11.000
idea of who Rick Green is. And then the following
00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:14.239
week, we have Todd McDowell in the pulpit from
00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:18.860
Caleb Global now. It used to be Caleb Company,
00:40:19.059 --> 00:40:21.730
but I knew them back in Nashville. and he's a
00:40:21.730 --> 00:40:24.349
phenomenal teacher. So, we'll have him on Saturday
00:40:24.349 --> 00:40:27.250
for a conference, just an all -day conference
00:40:27.250 --> 00:40:29.070
or seminar. Yeah, I'm sad we're missing that
00:40:29.070 --> 00:40:31.230
because I really wanted to be a part of that.
00:40:31.469 --> 00:40:33.469
And then he'll be in the pulpit. I'll be up on
00:40:33.469 --> 00:40:36.210
the guitar again to introduce him. But one treat
00:40:36.210 --> 00:40:39.530
we have is Don Finto, Papa Don Finto, who is
00:40:39.530 --> 00:40:42.889
just a legend in the Christian world, particularly
00:40:42.889 --> 00:40:46.260
missions and ministry to Israel. will be with
00:40:46.260 --> 00:40:48.400
us as well. He doesn't usually travel with them
00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:52.119
to churches, but he wanted to come meet us. We
00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:54.239
stepped in and supported them and brought them
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:56.280
on. We adopted them as one of the ministries
00:40:56.280 --> 00:40:59.099
we support, so Don wanted to come and meet us
00:40:59.099 --> 00:41:05.010
and get to know us. I think it was the title
00:41:05.010 --> 00:41:08.750
of it, What About Israel? It's very clear. This
00:41:08.750 --> 00:41:12.349
is not political. This is not anything. It's
00:41:12.349 --> 00:41:14.389
really just biblical scripture. It's a whole
00:41:14.389 --> 00:41:16.710
day and I really wish I could be there. It's
00:41:16.710 --> 00:41:19.650
going to be rich. Yeah, I bet it will be. Yeah.
00:41:19.989 --> 00:41:21.789
So that's happening. We need that at this moment.
00:41:21.869 --> 00:41:23.750
So I'm not preaching for another three weeks.
00:41:24.809 --> 00:41:27.349
I'm about to bust. Nice work if you can get it,
00:41:27.670 --> 00:41:30.610
pastor. I know, right? But at least I get to
00:41:30.610 --> 00:41:32.929
play guitar and I'm just happy to see our people.
00:41:33.170 --> 00:41:35.530
Really looking forward to that. Can I land the
00:41:35.530 --> 00:41:37.230
plane with a daily grind? I would love for you
00:41:37.230 --> 00:41:39.750
to do that. So today I wrote my first daily grind
00:41:39.750 --> 00:41:41.849
in nine days because I took a break and I've
00:41:41.849 --> 00:41:44.829
never done that in 22 years. It's the first time
00:41:44.829 --> 00:41:46.170
I've ever done it. First of all, you deserve
00:41:46.170 --> 00:41:48.190
it. Thank you. Second of all, I love that you
00:41:48.190 --> 00:41:53.909
kept it going. I just called it Just Jesus. I
00:41:53.909 --> 00:41:55.550
went through the Beatitudes and all I did was
00:41:55.550 --> 00:41:59.449
make a slide graphic with those and that's it.
00:41:59.590 --> 00:42:01.949
No commentary. I'm a big fan of just doing something.
00:42:02.070 --> 00:42:04.869
You know what's crazy? I got more likes and just
00:42:04.869 --> 00:42:07.170
as much as I would have ever if I just was writing.
00:42:07.349 --> 00:42:09.349
So I got, wow, maybe I should stick with this.
00:42:09.349 --> 00:42:12.550
Never take it personally. No, I don't. I actually
00:42:12.550 --> 00:42:15.050
appreciated it. So here's today's daily grind,
00:42:15.130 --> 00:42:17.650
Just Jesus day nine, because I did the ninth
00:42:17.650 --> 00:42:20.840
last. There is a, let me just read that to you
00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:23.739
because it's the scripture, let me pull it up,
00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:31.260
the graphic. It's in Matthew chapter 5. There
00:42:31.260 --> 00:42:34.059
we go. All right. It's Matthew 5, 11, and 12.
00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:37.039
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:40.659
you and say all kinds of evil against you falsely
00:42:40.659 --> 00:42:44.159
for my sake. rejoice and be exceedingly glad,
00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:47.079
for great is your reward in heaven, for so they
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:49.800
persecuted the prophets who were before you."
00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:53.260
And then the actual daily grind is simply this.
00:42:54.500 --> 00:42:57.280
There's a cost to committing your life to following
00:42:57.280 --> 00:43:00.480
Jesus. We here in the States have become accustomed
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:03.960
to comfort that real persecution is strange,
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:07.809
so accustomed to comfort, sorry, that Real persecution
00:43:07.809 --> 00:43:10.809
is strange and unfamiliar to us. While we should
00:43:10.809 --> 00:43:13.489
be thankful, this has also served to soften us
00:43:13.489 --> 00:43:16.530
when it comes to going against the grain of culture,
00:43:16.949 --> 00:43:20.170
friendships, media, and entertainment. It's easier
00:43:20.170 --> 00:43:23.369
to just go with the flow. What if walking in
00:43:23.369 --> 00:43:26.730
deeper places with Jesus really does cost us?
00:43:26.969 --> 00:43:30.469
Would we still follow, still speak up, still
00:43:30.469 --> 00:43:33.849
refuse to go along with the crowd? Jesus bids
00:43:33.849 --> 00:43:37.690
us, come and follow me. Now, I want to give a
00:43:37.690 --> 00:43:39.849
quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer out of his book,
00:43:39.929 --> 00:43:41.949
The Cost of Discipleship, which was published
00:43:41.949 --> 00:43:47.809
in 1937, where he was dealing with the Nazi regime
00:43:47.809 --> 00:43:51.289
in Germany as Hitler was rising to power. And
00:43:51.289 --> 00:43:53.429
he wrote this book called The Cost of Discipleship.
00:43:53.449 --> 00:43:57.469
In it, he says this, the cross is laid on every
00:43:57.469 --> 00:44:01.090
Christian. When Christ calls a man, he bids him
00:44:01.090 --> 00:44:04.969
come and die. I mean, this was a man that was
00:44:04.969 --> 00:44:07.210
heading towards his death because he was going
00:44:07.210 --> 00:44:10.309
against the grain of culture, of government,
00:44:10.530 --> 00:44:14.190
of the evil Nazi regime. In Luke 9 .23, I'll
00:44:14.190 --> 00:44:17.030
end with this, then he said to them all, this
00:44:17.030 --> 00:44:19.929
is Jesus speaking, if anyone desires to come
00:44:19.929 --> 00:44:23.909
after me, let him deny himself and take up his
00:44:23.909 --> 00:44:27.849
cross daily and follow me. My heart on writing
00:44:27.849 --> 00:44:31.059
this is that while I'm thrilled and I'm cheering
00:44:31.059 --> 00:44:35.199
on the crowds that are coming to Christ, I want
00:44:35.199 --> 00:44:38.480
to see real revival. We'll know real revival
00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:41.219
is here, not just awakening. When we see those
00:44:41.219 --> 00:44:44.199
people that are showing up in masses now at events
00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:47.340
and stadiums all around the world, when we see
00:44:47.340 --> 00:44:50.599
their lives changed and them willing to stay
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:53.280
the course in the midst of persecution and pain,
00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:56.659
and we'll see that's when revival will show up.
00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:59.500
And boy, we need each other in order to do that
00:44:59.500 --> 00:45:03.360
because it is real. The persecution is real and
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:06.679
it can hurt. Even if it's on social media. It's
00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:10.139
like, oh man, that kind of stings. That's beautiful,
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:12.260
brother. Thank you. Thank you so much. So I'm
00:45:12.260 --> 00:45:13.780
going to be in Holland next week, but we'll do
00:45:13.780 --> 00:45:16.639
the show, obviously. Yes. We're going to do it.
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:18.480
We'll work out the details on the timing of that.
00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:21.380
Another transatlantic call. For a few hours difference,
00:45:21.380 --> 00:45:24.860
right? It's six or seven. Yeah, seven hours.
00:45:24.980 --> 00:45:27.579
I am looking forward to it, man. Thank you, brother.
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.920
Have a great trip. Be blessed till Kevin and
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:34.340
Christina plus one. Yes. Send our love from Jimmy
00:45:34.340 --> 00:45:37.099
and Annette. Well, if everything goes according
00:45:37.099 --> 00:45:39.480
to plan, they'll be here maybe September, October.
00:45:39.500 --> 00:45:42.159
Beautiful. And they're bringing the grandbaby
00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:43.940
with them. It's going to be beautiful. Very excited.
00:45:45.139 --> 00:45:47.699
So would you have a fantastic week and we'll
00:45:47.699 --> 00:45:51.239
