1
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:28.800
Broadcasting the Live Good Afternoon Blockhead Nation. Thank you for

2
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:34.759
stopping by once again. You are listening to your favorite blockhead.

3
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:37.960
This is a podcast that has a Peanuts fan leading

4
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:40.479
the show, and I am your host. My name is

5
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.320
Brian Little, and I'm welcoming you into the program where

6
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.359
we talk about the mindset of Charles Schultz from Charlie

7
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.039
brown Snoopy, Linus, Sally and the Gang, but also we

8
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.960
get into more of a biblical perspective, mostly just because

9
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.759
this show has taken a different turn, and most of

10
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.000
that is because of me things that have happened in

11
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.120
my life. But I welcome you back to the show.

12
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.719
Come in, sit down. There's gonna be a few things.

13
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:09.959
If you go to the blog.

14
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.680
Your favorite blockhead dot com slash blog, you can follow

15
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.159
the scripting of what I will be following today. So

16
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.239
it's not exactly sporadic. It's just gonna be a little

17
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.079
bit different from this point forward, and I'm gonna focus

18
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.640
more on things that matter in this particular podcast. So

19
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.439
I'm thankful that you're here, and most of you that

20
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.000
are tuning in since the beginning have really been ages

21
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.920
twenty five to forty four males, most of the time.

22
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.359
That does not mean anybody's excluded. It's just that's what

23
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.840
the downloads and the analytics tell me. And most of

24
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.680
the feedback I get are from very dear friends of mine.

25
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.040
They tune into this show quite regularly. And so the

26
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.079
notes for the show are listed on the blog, and

27
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.760
you'll notice that I've carried over from last week.

28
00:01:57.439 --> 00:01:59.120
The Peanuts references that I will.

29
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:03.480
Use are from again a Charlie Brown Christmas That's kind

30
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:08.479
of true, but really it's to expound upon what is

31
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:12.080
going to be discussed in the Bible chapters and the

32
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:17.879
references from Charlie Brown in that particular episode. So I

33
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.800
can actually begin this with an interview that I found

34
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.120
those from nineteen sixty three with Charles Schultz, and he

35
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:30.280
was specifically asked by the interviewer on what his target

36
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:36.520
audience was. Was it towards children or was it towards adults. Well,

37
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.159
you have to understand that's nineteen sixty three. That is

38
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.960
prior to the Charlie Brown Christmas Special being released in

39
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.639
nineteen sixty five, when you just had the Peanuts comic

40
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.599
strip that was extremely popular, and Charles Schultz made it

41
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:55.080
very clear in that episode that he was reaching out

42
00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:02.080
to adults, and that has gotten lost from the time

43
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:06.240
of the first special to the movie to the way

44
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.360
it's perceived now when mostly when you look, you don't

45
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.919
see a lot of Peanuts paraphernalia, but you see Snoopy everywhere,

46
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.719
and mostly kids are going to embrace who Snoopy is

47
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:22.719
the most interchangeable character throughout all the Peanuts specials. But

48
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.000
that was really interesting for me to hear Charles Schultz

49
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.039
himself when he goes to his studio and he thinks

50
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.599
about who he's reaching out to, who his subtle messages

51
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.599
are supposed to reach. So that's really what I have

52
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.240
tuned into with this podcast as well. We have started

53
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.400
what's called the Blockhead Project, which is for you men

54
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.240
that know you can trust me with your kids because

55
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.919
you're not hearing anything provocative, You're not hearing anything that

56
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:56.080
is of profanity or any language that's eighteen above audience.

57
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.000
You don't have to worry about that with me. I

58
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:04.280
have made sure it's been intentional that you can trust

59
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:08.719
me with anybody that tunes into this podcast. I take

60
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.520
a lot of pride in that your kids are safe

61
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.280
with me and the message I have for you is wholesome.

62
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.079
But I'm peeling the layers back to expound upon what

63
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.560
When I spoke with the original, well one of the

64
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:27.879
original Peppermint Patty's from the nineteen seventies when I had

65
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.600
Miss Patricia pats On, we had this discussion prior to

66
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.800
me hitting record, where I said, if Charles Schultz had

67
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:37.439
not been a cartoonist, he would have been a really

68
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:42.279
good history teacher, to where she replied, or a minister.

69
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.120
I believe he could done either of those very well,

70
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:52.600
but he chose his ministry to a larger audience through

71
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:58.000
his cartoons, through his comic strips, through the lightheartedness of

72
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:02.120
Charlie Brown. Does kind of have a darker side of

73
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.680
a kid who continuously fails but doesn't give up.

74
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:06.720
But there is.

75
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:10.759
Something that's interesting about how that carries over back to

76
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.000
the Charlie Brown Christmas because if you watch so many

77
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:20.319
scenes in that particular episode, so much is lost and

78
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.920
all we focus on is what's at the surface. For example,

79
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.680
they are getting prepared for the Christmas play and pig Pin,

80
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.199
as we know, is kicking up a lot of dust

81
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:38.399
which is irritating Freeda. It's end I quote taking the

82
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:43.279
curls out of her naturally curly hair. So that's what

83
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.600
we see on the surface. That's what most people remember

84
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.000
about that scene. What people don't remembers might take a

85
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:56.560
swig of water. Here is how Charlie Brown shares several

86
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:01.120
examples from the Bible on how you can take that

87
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.839
dust and not be irritated. You can think of it

88
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.759
as being in the Middle East. You can think of

89
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:14.839
this as the dust trampled upon by King Solomon or

90
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:22.319
even King Nebucanzer that gets lost. This is what Patricia

91
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.920
was talking about. He would have been a very good

92
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.319
minister and blockhead nation where he wasn't able to bring

93
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.360
it home. I get to do that with this show.

94
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.800
I have the freedom and the trailblazing to be able

95
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:40.639
to do that. You gotta understand, if you know the

96
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.480
Bible at all, the time period between Solomon and the

97
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:48.439
Old Testament to King nebucon Ezer is a very long

98
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.319
period of time, hundreds and hundreds of years.

99
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:54.160
So I'm gonna try to.

100
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.800
Keep this as brief as I can to get to

101
00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.600
my Bible reference and the first segment of this chapter.

102
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.839
I'll go into more detail on the second part and

103
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:05.600
some of you men that have reached out to me,

104
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:07.800
have been begging for me to do this.

105
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:09.439
So here we go.

106
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.279
You have the fall of Solomon's Temple, which breaks up

107
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:20.639
the Northern and Southern kingdoms of Israel and Judah, mostly

108
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:24.120
under two kings. You had in Israel, I believe the

109
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:28.839
reign of Jereboam, who really squandered everything that Solomon had

110
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:34.839
and built more Iisoles and Rhea Boem of Judah. And

111
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:39.439
this is way before Christ ever enters the picture. So

112
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:46.639
if you continue through ancient history, these two kingdoms will fall.

113
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.040
But the first one to fall is the Northern Kingdom

114
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:53.079
and it falls to the Assyrians. Then you later have

115
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.680
the remnant that come to the Southern Kingdom of Judah.

116
00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:56.720
And if you.

117
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.879
Read of the prophets Isaiah Jeremiah, it talks about all

118
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.759
of this that both of these kingdoms have turned their

119
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:10.680
back on God, and God will use an army, an

120
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:15.160
invasion to carry out his will.

121
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:17.759
And the instrument that God.

122
00:08:17.519 --> 00:08:20.839
Will use on the Southern Kingdom of Judah will be

123
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:26.079
the Babylonian Empire. So the Babylonians will overtake the Southern

124
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:30.439
Kingdom of Judah led by King nebucon Nezer. This is

125
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:35.399
a long period of history between Solomon to Nebukon Nezer.

126
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:38.919
And I've told people many times, if you want to

127
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.519
know the truth, I've taught history for over twelve years

128
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:46.399
and having studied for it longer studied it four years

129
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:49.600
prior to actually getting into the field. I'll tell you,

130
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.279
and I'll put my own job at jeopardy. Here you

131
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.840
only need one world history lesson to know what truly matters,

132
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:04.000
and here is. You want to know the history lesson,

133
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:09.120
you must observe all you have to do. I'm gonna

134
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.480
take another swig of water. Is read the Book of

135
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:21.240
Daniel chapter two to briefly summarize Daniel. Chapter two. King

136
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:27.799
nabukanazzer that Charlie Brown talked about, has this dream and

137
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:33.519
he insists on somebody to interpret it. There's a problem.

138
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.919
He won't tell anybody what his dream is. So a

139
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.320
magician tries to interpret the dream. He gets killed. Sorcerers

140
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:47.080
try to interpret the dream, they get killed. The greatest

141
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:51.320
philosophers in his temple get killed. Nobody in his kingdom

142
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:56.080
can do it. Finally, a Hebrew prophet by the name

143
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:02.840
of Daniel is summoned. He says, interpret my dream, and

144
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:08.919
Daniel interprets the dream in the most beautiful way. And

145
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.120
here is King Nebukanezzer's dream. He says, you have this

146
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:20.000
dream of a statue. The head is made entirely of gold,

147
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:24.919
and the chest in the arms are made of silver,

148
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:30.120
meaning the chest plates up to the shoulders, the sternum area,

149
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:35.879
the thighs, the stomach are made of bronze, and the

150
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.879
legs are made of iron. If you look at the feet,

151
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.759
they are both a mixture of iron and clay with

152
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:47.120
ten toes. And if you read the entire book of Dale,

153
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:51.480
chapter two, you will see how Daniel tells King nebucan Ezzer, O,

154
00:10:51.679 --> 00:11:00.000
King nebukan Ezzer, you are the head that represents you,

155
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:05.840
and you will be overtaken by an inferior kingdom. He

156
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.879
will be overtaken, just as the Bible says by King

157
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:14.639
Cyrus of Persia, because the chest and arms that are

158
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:19.759
made of silver do represent the Persians who will come

159
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:23.399
in next. This all lines up not only with biblical history,

160
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:28.240
but secular history. The legs that are oh sorry, the

161
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:33.519
belly in the thighs, the sternham area that's bronze, that

162
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:39.039
represents Greece, the Greeks under Alexander the Great, who like

163
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:43.240
a leopard, jumped from continent to continent to continent, all

164
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.440
across the Mediterranean, all across that area.

165
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.440
Just dominating. You get to the legs.

166
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:55.159
The legs of iron represent the Roman Empire, who will

167
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:59.840
overtake the Greeks, which is exactly what happened in history.

168
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:04.679
Fast forward to year zero to year thirty three. A

169
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:08.759
man named Jesus stands before a lower Roman governor named

170
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.840
Ponscious Pilot, who doesn't want to deal with the situation,

171
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.639
so he hands him over to the Jews. Because there's

172
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:18.919
only one king in that Caesar, the Roman Empire will

173
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.200
fall after seven hundred years. If you look at the

174
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:28.000
feet made of iron and clay, that's a divided Roman Empire,

175
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.879
which a lot of that is European descent. And finally,

176
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.879
there's a cornerstone, a perfect rock that falls from the

177
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.679
top of the head of the statue and falls to

178
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:49.799
the feet, and the entire statue falls apart. A perfect stone,

179
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:59.840
a cornerstone that represents Christ's millennial kingdom blockhead Nation. After

180
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:04.440
this was interpreted, he Neverkanizer fell to his knees and

181
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:12.879
praised the Lord Almighty. Biblical history and secular history align

182
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:18.639
perfectly with every one of these kingdoms that fell. But

183
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:27.200
Christ's millennial kingdom will never fall. It will endure for

184
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:33.519
all time because it is not confound by time. That's

185
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.399
all you need to know for history. Read Dane chapter two.

186
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.720
Know the Truth as we look into more truth on

187
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.120
part two of this very special episode, and very thankful

188
00:13:48.679 --> 00:14:16.120
that you're here. Our scripture in for this podcast comes

189
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:22.440
from John chapter twenty one, verses four through six. But

190
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.879
when the warning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore.

191
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.559
Yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

192
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.519
Then Jesus said to them, children, have you any food?

193
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:38.960
They answered him no, And he said to them, cast

194
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.360
the net on the right side of the boat, and

195
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:45.840
you will find some. So they cast, and now they

196
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:47.159
were not.

197
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:48.480
Able to draw it in.

198
00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:55.840
Because of the multitude of fish. Okay, as far as

199
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:59.080
the commentary goes for this one, I'm once again using

200
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:02.759
Blue le Bible that is free if you ever want

201
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.039
to use it. That is referenced in my notes today

202
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:08.120
if you want to follow that on the blog. But

203
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.559
David Usick, just like another author, I will talk about

204
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.039
in a minute, very much goes into detail about how

205
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:21.039
ridiculous that this is. In a way, it's almost playful.

206
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:22.039
Okay.

207
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:24.720
So this is what David Gusick has to say about it,

208
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:28.799
is that Jesus had made a strange suggestion to his disciples.

209
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:35.159
There's no logic to fishing in the morning light being

210
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.399
better than fishing at night, especially in the region that

211
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:44.080
they're in. They're experts, mind you, they're homer fishermen. There's

212
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:46.960
no reason why fishing on one side of the boat

213
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:50.960
we better than the other side of the boat. It

214
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:58.200
was a test, it was, do you trust Jesus. It's

215
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.639
really a test to their ability to find the guidance

216
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:07.200
of God in small and unsuspected ways, for instance, a

217
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:13.919
stranger calling out fishing instructions from the shore. Now, this

218
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:19.960
is a wonderful chapter in the Book of John, And

219
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:23.080
if I can, I'll expound on this a little bit

220
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.960
from what I remember from another author. Just in case,

221
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.919
once again, if you're not ready to go into the

222
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:34.639
depths of scripture, I do have a book recommendation for you.

223
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:37.200
There is a gentleman who wrote a book called Wild

224
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.080
at Heart many years ago, but this is one of

225
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:45.360
his lesser known books. It's called Beautiful Outlaw. The very

226
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:49.960
first chapter is talking about this scene. So I'm gonna

227
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:51.840
use a little bit of John Elders with a little

228
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:56.759
bit of your favorite blockhead thrown into here. Jesus has

229
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:02.039
been crucified, He's been laid in the tomb. Six of

230
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:07.519
the disciples go fishing. They do what men do when

231
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.000
they're looking around, going what do we do now? I

232
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.640
don't know what do we do? And Peter is the

233
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:16.680
first one to say I'm going fishing. They go back

234
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:20.720
to their lifelong career. I mean, you gotta think of

235
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:24.240
what what the disciples were for Jesus. These were not

236
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:29.599
religious elites. They're normal, everyday common men.

237
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:32.599
Okay.

238
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:35.839
And when you're lost and you're a male.

239
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:37.720
What do you do?

240
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:43.480
You get away from everybody? You tinker in the garage,

241
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:45.799
you go hang out with the guys. In this case,

242
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:46.519
you go fishing.

243
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:49.640
And in that.

244
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:57.039
Chapter you see how Jesus does not present himself right away,

245
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:02.599
just like a tourist. It's so funny, and you know,

246
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:06.839
it's such a hilarious thought. It's like some of you

247
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.119
that maybe grew up with Bill Ingall with that joke

248
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.599
that he talked about, hey, you catch all them fish?

249
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:14.160
Nope, talked to him into giving up.

250
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.480
It's almost like when he does this, you think that

251
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.519
the disciples would look over at the guy on the

252
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:23.920
shore and go, here's your sign. Well, Jesus could have

253
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:28.680
presented himself. He could have said I caught you. I

254
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:31.119
told you to do this. He could have done that,

255
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:35.480
because earlier that morning he caught him all sleeping, when

256
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:39.720
he had been in the garden praying. He could have

257
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.200
announced here I am, I am the Lord.

258
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:43.240
He doesn't do it.

259
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:48.759
He acts like a tourist, y'all catch any fish. He's

260
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.079
acting like a tourist with an opinion, with a bunch

261
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.880
of professionals out in the boat hoop a fishing all

262
00:18:55.000 --> 00:19:01.000
night and have caught nothing. They caught nothing, and he

263
00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:04.519
playfully says, cast the net on the other side, What

264
00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.119
good is that going to do? And as soon as

265
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.519
they do, the net is so full that they can

266
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:13.480
barely pull it in and they.

267
00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:16.480
Realize it's the Lord.

268
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:19.839
So in my mind, it's almost like the scene from

269
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:24.200
Forrest Gump where Peter jumps off the boat and starts

270
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:28.039
again as quickly as he possibly can to shore to

271
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:32.400
see Lieutenant Dan, that's about I'm glad some of you

272
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:36.920
understand that reference. But that's kind of what's happening. But

273
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:39.799
here's what's even better. This is what's even more. I

274
00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:41.880
guess the word I want to use is delicious about this.

275
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:48.400
It's that there's already a fire going. Jesus is already

276
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:53.400
making them breakfast, and what they're bringing to shore is

277
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:57.079
more of an abundance. But He's already prepared.

278
00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:59.640
A meal for them. He didn't need.

279
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:06.480
Their fish, he didn't need extra he'd already provided it. Friends,

280
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:12.839
that's another message to you men. Stop thinking you have

281
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:17.119
to come before the Lord with all of your accomplishments. Lord,

282
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:18.079
here's what I did.

283
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:24.519
In your name. That's wonderful. Do you know him? After

284
00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:25.599
they're done eating breakfast?

285
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:26.039
What to do?

286
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.640
He looked at Peter three times? Do you love me?

287
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:37.920
And what was he told? Then feed my sheep? Then

288
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:43.200
go make disciples blockad nation. That's what's happening with this podcast.

289
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:50.039
It's a discipleship, no matter the cost. So I highly

290
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:54.240
recommend that first chapter of Beautiful Outlaw by John Elders,

291
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:56.079
but I really encourage you to go back and read

292
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:01.000
John chapter twenty one for yourself. To see the playfulness

293
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:04.480
of Jesus, to see how he presents himself to the

294
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:08.799
disciples in such a fun and loving way. And by

295
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.440
the time they get ashore, he's already made him breakfast.

296
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:13.359
Just come to the table.

297
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:19.160
Song recommendation of the week, this is kind of a

298
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:24.960
special one. The song is called Jesus Rides the Subway.

299
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.319
Now clever title, but the gentleman that sings this is

300
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.000
an artist by the name of Trevor Morgan. I have

301
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.960
seen Trevor in concert, and this is where it really

302
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:41.960
is just exciting for me to share, is that Trevor

303
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:47.240
Morgan was opening for Third Day. At some point when

304
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.559
he had finished and he had done his set, Third

305
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:56.079
Day called Trevor Morgan back out. They played back up

306
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:02.319
for him as he's sang Jesus Rides the Subway. And

307
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:06.440
the words in this song are super powerful. I'll only

308
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:09.720
reveal one of them to you. Blockhead Nation because of

309
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:13.319
the direction that this podcast is going. Because of what

310
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:16.279
I'm revealing, I can sit here and talk about the

311
00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:19.079
Super Bowl with you or any predictions or things like that.

312
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:24.319
You'll get planned that on Sunday evening. Prior to Sunday morning,

313
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:29.200
I'm gonna use the third verse from this song. These

314
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:33.759
are the lyrics, and I quote Jesus went to church

315
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:37.839
on Sunday. He sat in the back and sang the hymn.

316
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:45.480
Jesus went to church on Sunday. But they didn't recognize him.

317
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:53.200
They didn't even know he was there. They was Jesus

318
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:57.839
continue to say to all his sheep that have gone astray?

319
00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:01.720
What does he say? Come to me and lay your

320
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:06.720
burden down. So I highly recommend you go listen to

321
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:10.440
this song Jesus Rides the Subway by Trevor Morgan. You

322
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.240
can go to the blog, you can pull the YouTube

323
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:15.720
video up and you can hear for yourself. And I

324
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:19.119
hope that this blesses your life and your journey this week,

325
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:27.599
everyone that tunes into this podcast, it's changed. The show

326
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:31.480
used to be about a guy who wanted a creative outlet.

327
00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:37.079
It's now about how can I serve you? And I

328
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:42.240
hope that God's word and his truth as I share

329
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:48.319
my faith walk can bless your lives. Much love to

330
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.720
all of you this week, Blockhead Nation. Enjoy the super Bowl.

331
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:57.240
We will catch you next time, Same Blockhead time, same

00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:09.200
