Blessings Follow Obedience

[00:00:02] Speaker A: Well, and that's where. Where I was kind of out with. That is. I'm saying, okay, God, I hear you, but you. Have you thought about this? Have you thought about this? Have you thought about this? And I started laying out all a list. [00:00:12] Speaker B: Sure. [00:00:12] Speaker A: All the reasons this ain't gonna work. [00:00:14] Speaker B: And I'm sure he loves that. [00:00:15] Speaker A: Yeah. The only answer that I got back was basically that you have no idea what I'm capable of, apparently. I mean, like I should. I know what he's capable of. [00:00:23] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:00:24] Speaker B: That. Okay. Have I. Have you really thought about this guy? I bet you he has. [00:00:29] Speaker C: And it's easier for me to have faith on, praying about your problems, but it's hard for me to have faith, praying about my problems. [00:00:36] Speaker B: Sure. [00:00:39] Speaker A: No, maybe that was on me. I'll take the responsibility for that one. Because then he shouldn't have said it. But I shouldn't have left it in. [00:00:44] Speaker B: Well, it is good to have Brandon, man. [00:00:45] Speaker A: Yes, always. [00:00:47] Speaker B: Man. Your hair's looking nice again. [00:00:50] Speaker D: It's wash day tonight, so. [00:00:51] Speaker B: All right, listen, I walked in and my man said, hey, he's dressed like me. And I was. Got on my green shirt and I didn't even think about that today. I was just. I was dressing because I was going to go see somebody at the hospital that has always dressed so nice. So I was like, I can't go up there with the blue jeans and. And I wasn't able to get up there. So I'll get up there tomorrow morning. I got a lot of folks that. Man, I tell you what, it's absolutely amazing how many folks that are sick hurting just in. In need of prayer. I mean, it's just unreal. It's just. Just challenge always is, though. Yeah. [00:01:26] Speaker C: Isn't that all the time? Huh? It is just before. [00:01:31] Speaker B: Well, I think it's worse in the fall because you got so many other things going on. Are those new glasses? [00:01:37] Speaker C: No, this is another pair that dog ate. [00:01:39] Speaker B: Well, I was going to say they look like they fit a little funny on the nose. [00:01:43] Speaker C: Yeah. Just. I don't know what it is with my glasses I've gone through about. [00:01:49] Speaker D: You get the ones that you can sit on your neck and you. [00:01:51] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:01:52] Speaker D: And then you put them magnetic. [00:01:53] Speaker C: And then you think I actually had those, but afraid to take those out. Might forget them on the coffee table. I ate those, too. [00:01:58] Speaker B: I know there's several folks that use those all the time. Yeah, they're not. That's not a bad thing. [00:02:02] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. It's something. He don't chew anything else but my glasses. He's got a thing for glasses. I don't know. [00:02:10] Speaker A: Wow. [00:02:10] Speaker B: But he don't eat the glass. [00:02:12] Speaker C: No, he just chews it. Throws in the. I'm four. [00:02:15] Speaker B: Do you do it? Because sometimes I do that. [00:02:20] Speaker C: Pretty worn out. If I did it. [00:02:21] Speaker D: That's a learned habit. That's just. You know, I told Gary that audio on there, it's. [00:02:27] Speaker B: Well, it's a good sounding man. Or is it the. [00:02:29] Speaker A: Well, it's. It's dead. [00:02:30] Speaker D: All the surroundings are. It's just. [00:02:32] Speaker A: Wow. [00:02:32] Speaker D: Except only the voice. [00:02:33] Speaker C: Like. [00:02:33] Speaker A: Well, here's. [00:02:34] Speaker B: That's nice. [00:02:35] Speaker A: So some of the. [00:02:35] Speaker B: Even these creaky chairs. Cuz I'm always like, oh God. [00:02:39] Speaker D: He. [00:02:39] Speaker A: He text me. It's funny because the. The software that I use, I didn't used to use it for this show, but it's the one that I use when I'm doing work shows where it's online. And then all of a sudden the audio was just like 10 times better. And I kept getting feedback from people saying like, man, that audio was great. [00:02:56] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:02:57] Speaker A: And it was the software that I was using. They had upgraded their AI editing or whatever they can do to clean up the noise. And I'm telling you. So that's where the last few shows I've been taking our audio and uploading it to that to basically clean. [00:03:08] Speaker B: It doesn't even hear the. When we had the blistered peanuts in here. [00:03:12] Speaker A: Well, I don't know if I was using it for that one. [00:03:15] Speaker B: That would be the extreme test. We need some more. [00:03:17] Speaker A: The only, the only challenge with it is if you're like. If you're trying to talk and shoot peanuts at the same time. [00:03:23] Speaker B: Yeah. You can't do that. It will. [00:03:25] Speaker A: A lot of times it will. In the attempt to muffle the bat or to get rid of the background noise, it might mute you. [00:03:29] Speaker B: Right. [00:03:30] Speaker A: But for the most part it's been. [00:03:32] Speaker B: But it knows that's background noise. Me watching him. I did a peanut. [00:03:36] Speaker A: I did one the other day from. [00:03:38] Speaker C: I was. [00:03:39] Speaker A: I had to record at five o' clock and I was on my way home, mom and dad's and I won't make it by five o'. Clock. So I had to pull over to McDonald's and this was the most crowded McDonald's. And then I went outside and you got buses coming by and horns blowing and all this kind of stuff. And I was like, this is gonna be a nightmare to edit, but I'll try to let the AI do it. AI did it perfect. It came out. I mean the guys this morning, they text me back and said, man, you. That you worked a miracle on that podcast. I said, that wasn't me, that was AI. I didn't do it. [00:04:06] Speaker D: Wow. [00:04:08] Speaker A: I'd been completely non Bible Jesus related. But that's normal for the first 30 minutes. [00:04:14] Speaker B: Yes. [00:04:15] Speaker A: But I was talking fat. I was talking to somebody the other day on a. A podcast about AI, and he was talking about how fast it's speeding up. He's like, you know what? It could be six months ago compared to now. [00:04:28] Speaker B: Scary. [00:04:29] Speaker A: He's like, I get daily updates on how fast it's. [00:04:31] Speaker B: Oh, I'm amazed. I mean, I had to. Some of our youth were showing some videos the other night. It was Ronald Reagan giving a speech. And I said, I told him, I said, he didn't say. [00:04:41] Speaker A: That's, that's the crazy. [00:04:43] Speaker D: You don't know what's. [00:04:44] Speaker B: You just about came. [00:04:46] Speaker D: It's real close. I mean, you can see a little glitch in there or something that makes. [00:04:50] Speaker B: I mean, there, there's things. If you, if you followed it, you already think Bill Belichick's been fired. Yeah, because so much comes out. That's so fake news. [00:04:57] Speaker A: Did I tell you about Gabe and the fantasy football draft? I don't think so. [00:05:01] Speaker B: So he let AI choose it. [00:05:03] Speaker A: No. So. So. Well, close. You might as well have. So last year, auto draft last year, the league that I, you know, my buddies it very competitively. I mean, we take it way more serious than grown men should. And I decided this year to let Gabe help me co manage it because I just don't have. I don't take the time to put into it like I used to. And Gabe's obsessed with it, so it's like, I might as well kill two birds once and I'll give him something to do and help me out. So we get ready to go draft this year and he says, dad, you know we can't keep cd. Lam right. I said, what are you talking about? He said, he tore his ACL yesterday towards meniscus this week. I said, ESPN didn't say that. And he said, well, I just saw it yesterday. I said, find it. Show me the video. He found a video on YouTube of somebody saying that. [00:05:48] Speaker B: Yeah, that had happened. [00:05:49] Speaker A: Now if you had watched the entire video at the end of it. He did say it was a prank, but Gabe, don't bother watching the entire video. [00:05:55] Speaker B: Have to, folks. Hang on. [00:05:56] Speaker A: I told him, I said, you didn't even make it to the draft. You're about to get fired already. [00:05:58] Speaker D: That's very dangerous. [00:05:59] Speaker A: Yeah. And I told him that became a lesson. There is. Hey, look, you see a bunch of stuff on YouTube. You need to, you need to learn. [00:06:06] Speaker B: How to fact check or something just as bad, man. [00:06:08] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:06:08] Speaker B: Like I said, there's so many fake UNC accounts that I'm almost like, I don't know what's real over there. [00:06:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:15] Speaker B: But then again, that's not nothing new. [00:06:17] Speaker A: Yeah, well, your, your love for you. [00:06:21] Speaker B: I will admit here lately, I've been doing more hate watching than anything else because now I'll buy. What's five and two? [00:06:28] Speaker A: Five and two? The studio that does chosen the chosen. [00:06:32] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:06:33] Speaker A: Okay. Five loads. Two fish. [00:06:34] Speaker D: Oh, yeah, y' all talk. [00:06:35] Speaker B: And the eye and the. And is that Ann supposed to have, like, teeth? [00:06:39] Speaker A: No, the end is loaf of bread. [00:06:42] Speaker B: I get it. All right. I thought it looked like a mouth. Very good. I didn't even catch that. [00:06:45] Speaker A: Yep. [00:06:47] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:06:47] Speaker B: Yeah. How'd you get the jersey? I mean, the uniforms are the gear. They order it or they send it to you. [00:06:53] Speaker A: Yeah, the chosen app, they. No, they don't, they don't sponsor me. [00:06:57] Speaker B: I'd like, I, like, I was gonna say shout out. Yeah, we'll tell people. Go see your movies. [00:07:04] Speaker A: That's right. Nuts. These shirts, though, you talk about a good, you know, comfortable. Oh, super comfortable. [00:07:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:09] Speaker B: Now, I love a shirt like that. [00:07:11] Speaker A: Now, I do apologize. These are the absolute most worn out pants. You can't see them. There's a little hole right here in the pocket. But they're the most comfortable pants in the world. [00:07:18] Speaker B: That's a, that's a comp for sure, though. [00:07:20] Speaker A: Yeah. This is my, probably my most comfortable outfit that I, we all have. [00:07:23] Speaker D: We all, you know, man, we, we got a pair. Lasted for so long. [00:07:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:27] Speaker D: Hard to get rid of. [00:07:28] Speaker A: Trouble with this is the, the elastic waistband is broken out of it, so they'll fall down on me in a heartbeat. [00:07:33] Speaker B: Get you a rope. But yeah, so, so do they have any color, other colors besides that? [00:07:40] Speaker A: I know they've got it in the teal. They got it in black. I think they've got it in black. It's just Download the chosen app. [00:07:46] Speaker B: I see. I, I, I'm not much on wearing black color. I'm, I'm more of a, like a spring. [00:07:53] Speaker A: Well, see, I like black slimming and I need that these days. [00:07:55] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:56] Speaker B: No, I wouldn't mind it being. [00:07:57] Speaker A: It's funny, I never thought about things like that until I, you know, put on enough pounds that I started noticing. [00:08:02] Speaker B: I had never thought about it until I started working with you. [00:08:05] Speaker A: Oh, no. [00:08:07] Speaker B: I've started noticing I am more of a fall or spring. [00:08:09] Speaker A: Yeah. When I'm edit. When you're editing videos of yourself, you start to notice me. I look fat in this. Black is my color. [00:08:16] Speaker B: Apparently, there are times where they release things on. On what we do, and I'm like, good Lord. [00:08:21] Speaker A: But no, the AI is funny, though, because when I do the editing, sometimes the. My voice sounds a little different or I can notice that it just sounds a little. [00:08:29] Speaker B: I don't know how they're doing. Just more robotic. [00:08:31] Speaker A: A little bit more robotic, but it's getting better. Yeah. [00:08:33] Speaker B: It used to sound so robotic that you knew this is a. Now it's almost like. Okay. If it hadn't been for that one little syllable there. [00:08:39] Speaker A: Well, see, I think. And I don't know this for sure. [00:08:42] Speaker B: But I was just getting too smart. I thought that AI George Terminator. [00:08:45] Speaker A: I thought the AI Audio stuff was just using a computer to go in and get rid of the background noise. But what I think it's doing is picking up on your words. [00:08:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:52] Speaker A: And re. Recording it. Because I can speak a sentence to AI and then type a paragraph, and it'll say the whole paragraph in my voice. Yes. I think it's taking the transcript and recreating your voice without the background noise, because sometimes your voice will sound just a little different. [00:09:08] Speaker B: But that's what. See, that's what I'm scared of, man. That stuff, they're gonna be. Ah, man, I'm telling you. [00:09:12] Speaker A: And you can already. I could create a video of any one of y' all saying anything I wanted to say. [00:09:18] Speaker B: Easily. [00:09:18] Speaker A: Easily. [00:09:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:19] Speaker A: That is a scary thing. [00:09:20] Speaker D: Yes. [00:09:21] Speaker B: Even Brandon, who hadn't been in here, he'd been in here enough that it could do. [00:09:24] Speaker A: See, Brandon don't know. We weren't really talking about your money on the show. Like, that was just what. AI did it. [00:09:29] Speaker B: I know. [00:09:29] Speaker A: Nobody actually talked about AI Knows you loaded. I don't even know. [00:09:34] Speaker D: I can see Ben saying something like that, but Garrett, come on. [00:09:38] Speaker B: Not knows. That made us. [00:09:40] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't remember saying any of that, do you? [00:09:44] Speaker B: I had to. I kind of remember it. [00:09:46] Speaker C: Well, I remember what you said, but, I mean, I. That's not what I said. [00:09:50] Speaker D: Listen, I'm. No, I ain't. I don't want to bring up the money. I'm not gonna do it. [00:09:58] Speaker B: Oh, man, it is good. Have Kenny. [00:10:00] Speaker D: All of y' all are established. I'm still trying to work. Be established. Y' all are all established. [00:10:05] Speaker B: I don't know about established. [00:10:07] Speaker A: We're going to have to define establishment. [00:10:08] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Not all of us are established. Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:10:11] Speaker C: We're all just broken. [00:10:13] Speaker D: Well, of course. [00:10:14] Speaker B: We just have to have a highly successful podcast. [00:10:17] Speaker A: Yeah, that's right. [00:10:18] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:10:20] Speaker A: Two weeks later. [00:10:24] Speaker B: Oh, man, welcome back. [00:10:27] Speaker C: Then. [00:10:27] Speaker A: I liked you to be you. [00:10:28] Speaker B: Go back to the other 167 where we talk about how to go through life not besides just in church, but outside of church and how to make your life count towards Christ. The other 167 hours of the week. [00:10:41] Speaker A: A little Casey K. You know what time it is? [00:10:46] Speaker B: It's 6:12. What that means, man, he's practiced that. [00:10:49] Speaker D: In the mirror many times. [00:10:49] Speaker B: Let me tell you something, I love you know what that means? No, I don't. My kids do that all the time. [00:10:54] Speaker A: This Wednesday. [00:10:55] Speaker B: You know what that means? No. [00:10:59] Speaker A: So last week we talked about Gabe, and I knew that he was. There was a chance he might eventually hear that whole conversation about the girl and going on the walk and all. [00:11:10] Speaker D: That kind of stuff. [00:11:11] Speaker A: So sure enough, I was editing and I didn't have headphones in, and he's just walking around, walking around, whatever. And then about after, about as I finished ending it, he walks back in and he says, yeah, I heard all that. Or was it the car or gta? It might have been GTA we were talking about. [00:11:26] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, he wanted gta. [00:11:28] Speaker A: Gta. He came in there, he said, I'm still trying to get those 17 million points. And I said, well, Ben says, you can't have it anyway, you know. So he was. He wasn't listening as I was editing. I said, look, I said, you heard what Ben said. Not good for you, man. [00:11:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:43] Speaker D: Talking about the video game thing. [00:11:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:45] Speaker B: Gabe's trying to game sing, play to be fun. [00:11:48] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:48] Speaker B: Retro Bowl. [00:11:49] Speaker A: There you go. [00:11:51] Speaker B: Well, I just. Old man stuff. [00:11:53] Speaker A: So I just caught church right before I came over here from Sunday. [00:11:57] Speaker B: So we had a good time Sunday. It was a great, great Sunday. I thought it was. If nothing else, man, the baptisms are always one of my favorite things about Sunday morning ever. [00:12:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:12:06] Speaker A: Yeah. We had a fully. A full roster of or a full plate for Sunday. You had eight baptisms. And then we knew you weren't going to get through John 3 in one sermon. I don't know what you were thinking, thinking you were going to get through that in one. [00:12:21] Speaker B: I was going to get through part one was what I was aiming for for Sunday. I thought you were trying to get through part one. I didn't get through part one. That's what. [00:12:28] Speaker A: Part one. [00:12:29] Speaker B: No, part one was nighttime discussions. Man with clout. Man confused, Messiah clarified. Then we're going to go to number two and number three, and number two and number three are going to be expanded upon as well. [00:12:42] Speaker A: I thought you did get. [00:12:43] Speaker B: Yeah, I just got through number one, and I got through all the way through. Where the Messiah clarifies. [00:12:50] Speaker A: Okay, gotcha. [00:12:52] Speaker C: All right. [00:12:52] Speaker B: It was a. That was a lot, and I should have known better, but sometimes I. Yeah, well. And trooping on eight baptisms take a while because you introduce the person you want them to be special for them. So that probably took 20 minutes. [00:13:07] Speaker C: Yeah, seven. [00:13:09] Speaker B: Seven is what I was hoping I was seven. [00:13:11] Speaker A: Because that's. [00:13:12] Speaker C: I only have six. [00:13:13] Speaker B: Seven. [00:13:13] Speaker A: Okay. [00:13:14] Speaker B: But. But even that, it's going to take pictures. [00:13:16] Speaker D: Well, this one, he's like, oh, man, we missed the fish. [00:13:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:18] Speaker B: It's going to take 20 minutes to do that, don't you think? Takes 20 minutes. [00:13:23] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:13:23] Speaker B: I mean, by the time you get in the pool, introduce them, take them under, they get out. [00:13:28] Speaker C: You got to get. You got to get dressed. [00:13:30] Speaker B: Yeah, but I'm just Talking about just 20 minutes of the service. Yeah. So I was already behind the eight ball. [00:13:36] Speaker D: Was it warm? [00:13:37] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, the water is nice. Thank y'. [00:13:39] Speaker C: All. [00:13:39] Speaker D: I. Since communion, every week, I've been buying two jugs of that and drinking it. Even little race. [00:13:46] Speaker B: That's good, ain't it? I love grape juice. I just. [00:13:48] Speaker C: Some of. [00:13:48] Speaker D: Ever since communion, I had. I wanted that tartness. I'm like, man, I'm missing that tartness. I went to one store, and I've been buying it one, two every. Every week. [00:13:55] Speaker C: So I love it. But they look good. They only even use one bottle for the communion. No, we're always missing one. The other one. Well, what about the second bottle? [00:14:07] Speaker D: Should be in a cooler. [00:14:08] Speaker C: Well, we looked the other day when. [00:14:10] Speaker D: I don't know if someone's going, are you going in there drinking? [00:14:13] Speaker C: Somebody is. [00:14:13] Speaker B: But I do like grape. [00:14:15] Speaker D: I mean, it's you. [00:14:17] Speaker B: Christmas morning. I love grape juice on Christmas morning. [00:14:19] Speaker D: Christmas more. [00:14:20] Speaker B: Oh, Christmas morning. I got smorgasbord of juices. I got tomato juice, orange juice, grape juice, chocolate milk, water, and tea coming from masses. [00:14:29] Speaker D: Don't drink your calor. Oh, that was. He said, but it's Christmas. [00:14:39] Speaker B: That's why we. We. I'm telling you, we do every. Every juice known to man. Almost tomato. Tomato juice, too. [00:14:45] Speaker D: And you drink it back to back to back? [00:14:46] Speaker B: No, I drink it while I eat because I eat a lot on Christmas morning. Now we have a breakfast that is. You talking about sausage? I got four different kinds of sausages. I got bacon, we got ham. [00:14:56] Speaker C: We got mornings. [00:14:58] Speaker B: Yes, I do. [00:14:59] Speaker C: Okay. I thought maybe you came up here like the night before. [00:15:02] Speaker B: No, I come up that morning. [00:15:03] Speaker A: That song you cook in here, by the way, was fantastic. [00:15:08] Speaker D: Do you. I went yesterday and put up six more bags, so if y' all need any, just tell me. I'll drop. [00:15:12] Speaker B: Oh, man. I did it. I had. [00:15:14] Speaker A: So I made like breakfast for dinner probably, and breakfast for breakfast. [00:15:19] Speaker B: Love it. [00:15:20] Speaker A: Then I did do spaghetti with it.

They want hot. They'd like to have a hot. But. But Rocco, he won't. [00:15:32] Speaker B: I don't think it needs a hot. [00:15:34] Speaker D: I don't know what. The process would be extra for him to make it hot. [00:15:36] Speaker B: Just put a little more. [00:15:38] Speaker D: I don't know. [00:15:38] Speaker C: I don't know if that's right. [00:15:39] Speaker B: Just more pepper. But what he does is dynamite. [00:15:42] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:15:43] Speaker A: The thing about it is. [00:15:44] Speaker B: Where's he. Where's he located? [00:15:45] Speaker D: Roxmont. [00:15:46] Speaker B: Should we give it Rocco from Roxboro? [00:15:48] Speaker D: Well, his name is Rocky Horton, but I'm Rocco. [00:15:51] Speaker B: Shout out sausage. Ever eat, Rocco? [00:15:55] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:15:55] Speaker B: And keep making it, brother. Keep, keep, keep producing. [00:15:58] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:15:59] Speaker A: And the thing about the spicy is to see. I love spicy stuff. Kids don't. So you can always add spices. If you. If you make it mild or you make it whatever. You can always add spice to the people who want spice. But that's what I did with the spaghetti. I did two different sauces. I did one with spice. [00:16:12] Speaker D: Well, I like it just because you can. You can use it for anything and put it with anything and it doesn't overtake from. But you still get the taste of it. [00:16:19] Speaker B: But the sausage balls you make with it. Dynamite. The sausage patties you make for salt breakfast. [00:16:24] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:16:24] Speaker B: I'm telling you, Rocco sausage, he needs a. He needs to start marketing. Like. Like really sell. [00:16:29] Speaker D: But look, I. I just buy it from what. I mean, he. He used to be at the hospital. [00:16:34] Speaker C: He's. [00:16:34] Speaker D: But he retired from Duke Hospital as an electrician for 35 years or whatever. So he has been selling this from his daddy because his daddy passed away, but he's been selling it for 20 some years. So just because I buy something, he's got 100, 150 people. [00:16:49] Speaker B: If he needs somebody to market it, I can, I can, man. I'm. I'm coming up with slogans all the time. Listen, I hit up Woody. Woody. You know, Woody's. Burnis Martin. Shout out, Burns. And shout out to Woody's Furniture. And Carrie. And I saw a commercial Sunday morning on tv. [00:17:07] Speaker D: You saw his. [00:17:07] Speaker B: Yeah, Woody's. Yeah, Woody saw and it showed the furniture. And I said, I got church. I said, woody or Bernice, you got to get your face on there, baby. We got. I said, you need to let me be your campaign. I said, I've already come up. I've already come up with a slogan. [00:17:21] Speaker D: So there's always. It's not just, hey, let me help you. There's something behind it. He wants to get you so big, so he. [00:17:27] Speaker B: Yes. So I can say I knew him when. Yeah, but no, I told. I said before he got. [00:17:33] Speaker D: Nigga, don't forget about me. [00:17:35] Speaker B: Bernice, I want you on. I want your face on the camera. And saying, at Woody's, we take high prices to the woodshed. I said that sales. That's crazy. I said, dude, you will become violent. [00:17:46] Speaker C: What'd he say? [00:17:46] Speaker D: We're going to use. [00:17:47] Speaker B: He said, well, I got a face for radio, and, you know that kind of thing. I got a face for radio. I don't. Now, say it again. What? The slogan at Woody's, we take high prices to the woodshed. I like when Kenny gets it. [00:18:03] Speaker D: No, I get it. [00:18:05] Speaker B: Talk about being awesome, man. I do. I could. He said, what are you want me wearing, like a overalls and a straw thing out my mouth? I said, no, just be you. I said, look, it's working for Scotty down here. Scotty Tartt. If you ain't doing business with us. [00:18:19] Speaker A: Something wrong? [00:18:20] Speaker D: You made that one up. [00:18:21] Speaker B: No. Well, yeah, I was talking with him at the racetrack. No, that's a great. I mean, I just love that it's catchy, so about to get. You gotta come up with catchy stuff. [00:18:35] Speaker D: What are you gonna say to that one? [00:18:37] Speaker C: Make bpa? [00:18:38] Speaker D: Yeah. BPG Electric. [00:18:39] Speaker B: Well, I'm working on it. I'm working on that. Because we're. We got shockingly low prices. [00:18:45] Speaker D: That ain't gonna work because there's a lot. [00:18:55] Speaker B: No, I gave you some. I gave you some the other day about current and amps or something like that. [00:19:00] Speaker D: Yeah, but that's. That's all just simple. That's, you know, don't be shocked or something. [00:19:08] Speaker B: Yes, don't be shocked that competitors are going to give you. You know, I'm. I'm the real deal. [00:19:16] Speaker D: I can't believe you said, you know, we have. What? [00:19:18] Speaker C: You said, low price. [00:19:19] Speaker D: Yeah, low price. He said, no, man, that's a lie. [00:19:27] Speaker B: No, Brandon does good work. Good work for good people. They know. They know. We joke, man. Yeah, you do worry about that. Listen, you got a reputation out there. People already know you. You show up, do. That's What I think that people love is you're dependable. You're. You're. You're. You do a good job. [00:19:44] Speaker D: Don't sit there and try to sugarcoat it now. [00:19:46] Speaker B: Yeah, I ain't worried about you. Got more business than you can shake a stick. Probably need to get rid of some. [00:19:52] Speaker D: All right, let's open up. [00:19:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. Let's get to a good show. [00:19:56] Speaker D: I think we all need a lesson. [00:19:57] Speaker A: Or two right now. [00:19:59] Speaker B: So. [00:19:59] Speaker A: Homework that I. And I didn't do the homework. Oh, I'm not good. I'm not good at the homework, But I'm one for three in our homework assignments and actually doing them. [00:20:08] Speaker B: Did Kenny give it? [00:20:09] Speaker A: Yeah, Kenny gave it. He said, why did God tell Moses to assemble a congregation and speak to the rock? And he didn't give us much of a clue. He just said that it was in the Bible in one of the first 65 books. Oh, yeah. Remember that? [00:20:21] Speaker B: Yeah. Do you remember it? [00:20:22] Speaker C: Yeah. Do you remember the answer? Well, I knew the answer before I asked the question, but do you still know the answer? That's. [00:20:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:31] Speaker C: So go ahead now, just like I. [00:20:33] Speaker A: Know, you know. [00:20:37] Speaker C: Don'T make them feel like they're alone. [00:20:40] Speaker D: Don't let them wear off on you. [00:20:42] Speaker B: I mean, why did he have them assemble when he spoke to the rock? [00:20:46] Speaker C: Why did. Why did God tell him to speak to the rock? [00:20:51] Speaker B: No, it wasn't a test of Moses. Test of obedience is what I've always thought it was. [00:20:57] Speaker C: That's probably part of. I'm not saying I have all the answer, but I thought it was in the. [00:21:02] Speaker B: In like a verse that gave the answer. [00:21:04] Speaker C: No, I was just at the first 65. 66 books of the Bible. [00:21:09] Speaker B: I mean, that's always been my reason. Reasoning was God. God was wanting to see. All right, I don't do every. I don't always do the exact same way. I told you that. I struck it one time. This time I want you to speak to it. [00:21:22] Speaker C: Sometimes you can hear that words referred to Jesus. The rock has been struck only once. Okay, I mean, I've heard that. Then that might be. That might be what you're saying, but. [00:21:34] Speaker B: It'S not the same rock. [00:21:35] Speaker C: You're right. It's not the same rock. But I've heard that interpretation. That's why he didn't go in because he's tried. [00:21:41] Speaker B: Yeah, I think, I think it's a stretch. I mean, it preaches good, but I don't know that that's kind of a. I don't. I don't know. That's. That's more iseges than it is exegesis. [00:21:52] Speaker C: Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what I think, okay. It's not the only answer. But it is. I think it's good. A good answer is it's a new generation. [00:22:02] Speaker B: Okay. [00:22:03] Speaker C: This is from chapter 18. [00:22:06] Speaker B: 40 years. They're getting ready to go into the land. [00:22:08] Speaker C: I mean, the first 19 or 18 verses of numbers is up to two years when they left Egypt. Then all of a sudden it skips another 38. Well, we don't find it in chapter 20 till the end of the book in 2033 or something. Then we get ready to go in. [00:22:26] Speaker A: Yep. [00:22:26] Speaker C: That this is, this is the last first of the year. So it's first of the 40th year. So everybody's died a different generation. And he has struck the rock once, which is. That's the representation of Christ. Yeah, I. That's what people interpret. I mean, I think there could be more than just one. But here's, here's my thought and stay with me. Now it's a new generation. And God tells Moses to speak. Now remember, the people are thirsty. [00:23:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:02] Speaker C: They're wanting a different generation. [00:23:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:05] Speaker C: But it's the same. I mean, doesn't change. It doesn't change since Adam complain and then you blame. You know, they want to go back to Egypt. Then none of them, you know why. They hadn't even been to Egypt before. [00:23:17] Speaker B: Yeah. They don't even know what it really was. [00:23:19] Speaker C: So God tells Moses to speak to the rock. And then Moses has his run of staff and he gets mad at him. [00:23:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:32] Speaker C: That's the purpose he got. Yeah. He has anger issues. He's had anger issues. I think killed the Egyptian and he struck the rock. Well, the amazing thing is the water came out. But that was the cause of Moses not going into the promise. [00:23:48] Speaker B: Right, Exactly. [00:23:49] Speaker C: And I know this is. [00:23:50] Speaker A: Didn't get to go into the promised land because he got to see it, because he didn't struck the rock instead of speaking to it. [00:23:55] Speaker C: Yes. [00:23:55] Speaker B: She disobeyed. [00:23:56] Speaker C: And that's, that's. [00:23:59] Speaker A: That makes that story make a lot more sense to me always. [00:24:01] Speaker B: Cause lack of faith. He did get to stand up on the mountain and see into it. Yeah. [00:24:05] Speaker C: But he. God has something better for him, actually. [00:24:07] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:08] Speaker A: I think I'd always miss to it. And he struck it instead. I thought it was just for striking the rock that he. [00:24:14] Speaker C: Well, it's a new generation. [00:24:15] Speaker B: Well, it's disobeying. [00:24:16] Speaker A: It's disobey. [00:24:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:17] Speaker C: They haven't seen all the miracles. A lot of them haven't seen all the miracles that were por, you know, crossing of the Red Sea and this and that, Ten Commandments and so that Seen some. I said not all. [00:24:28] Speaker B: Yeah, a lot of maybe. Yeah. [00:24:31] Speaker C: My thing is God told him to speak to the rock. Moses problem was it was about him when he spoke. And the last time Moses struck, remember Moses struck the first time and struck the second time. I didn't tell him to strike the second time. And my thing is I think God's word alone stands. You don't have to do anything. It stands as is when you speak the word. God spoke creation into existence. God spoke to Moses. God said this. God said that all of Jesus's miracles were, you know, was here by God. Just he didn't perform any sign. When I say sign, he didn't do jump up and hit something. Well anybody on one or two of. [00:25:16] Speaker A: Them but spit in the mud before he put. [00:25:19] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, one or two times. [00:25:21] Speaker B: He did some things. Yeah, I mean he took the brain, he held it up and broke it and blessed it before he fed. [00:25:26] Speaker C: But I think God's voice alone sure is the miracle. And then all then when you think about that also that it happened even though Moses disobeyed him, it happened. And you think, well why did it happen? Because Moses disappeared. Why did the Lord come out? And I started thinking about it. I think, you know, a lot of times people, they either had the wrong theology and I'll just, you know the name it, claim it. Yeah, I don't agree with any of that. But God's word still will not come back void. A lot of people get saved under that, that ministry. God uses his word. He's not too thorough with his preaching. [00:26:09] Speaker B: Well, I mean I think it goes back to faith comes by hearing and hearing by what? The word of God. Now my question is this. And this is the thing I've always struggled with because it's always something that interpreting text and interpreting what it means. And again, I'm not trying to, I'm not saying this is one of them. My thing is I always want to ask why does it have to mean something? Sometimes I ask that. I mean, okay, Jesus, God told Moses this time, strike it this time, speak to it. Does it always have to mean something? Beyond what? Well, when do we know in scripture that that's when we need to dig? [00:26:48] Speaker C: I would. I wouldn't say it does, but what I'm saying is, why did he strike it? [00:26:54] Speaker B: Yeah, but that ain't what you asked. [00:26:57] Speaker C: I know, but why did Moses strike it? [00:27:00] Speaker B: Yeah, because he was upset. [00:27:01] Speaker C: He was angry, and, you know, and almost like he's the one that caused the water. [00:27:06] Speaker B: Wow. [00:27:06] Speaker C: But I think on any thing that God says, we live by the Bible. Because God wrote it, because God says it. That's all we need. [00:27:15] Speaker B: I got you. [00:27:16] Speaker C: We don't need great pastors. No, I mean. [00:27:20] Speaker B: Well, if you find a great one. [00:27:22] Speaker C: All right, well, that's why. That's why I can't find one. [00:27:27] Speaker D: You don't follow the money. [00:27:34] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. [00:27:35] Speaker C: Or great electricians. [00:27:36] Speaker B: But I think it is one of. Sometimes it's a trap, and I don't want to call it a trap, but sometimes we, as Bible teachers or even Bible students, that we want to try to make things mean more than they do, and I think there's a fine line to walk sometimes, because, look, if you ever hear somebody teach the parables, I mean, you remember when I did the parables, I was real quick to say, I'm not going to be one of these. That. Okay, this represents. The table that the food is setting on represents this. No, it's the lesson behind the parable that I want to get. That's what Jesus was teaching. Not that every little thing means something like, the pigs do not represent that. You know, they're just pigs. And he's in the pig's pen, in the. In the prodigal son or the elder brother, whichever way you want to look. [00:28:26] Speaker D: At that parable, I'm going to throw something out here real quick, and y' all shut it down. [00:28:30] Speaker B: No, please bring it. [00:28:31] Speaker D: I'm it. Just so you say that the Lord says, because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them. I see where Moses, Aaron, they're. They're angry because they say, hey, you know, listen, you rebels. Must we bring your water out of this rock? [00:28:53] Speaker B: Could it be. [00:28:54] Speaker D: And you tell me if I'm wrong about this, could it be that maybe the. The Lord was saying, speak to the rock because that would show true faith and allowing him to speak to the rock and the water comes out? Because hitting the rock would make more sense as us humans going, hey, if I hit it, might split up and bring the Water, Even that. [00:29:16] Speaker B: Even That's a mirror, right? [00:29:17] Speaker D: That'd be racket. [00:29:18] Speaker B: You hit a rock, make water come. [00:29:19] Speaker D: I don't know. I do a good job because I'm just trying to. Because he said to the rock. No, and maybe it's a chapter before. But because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as the holy in the sight of the Israelites. The water still came out of the rock. But. So, yeah, but. [00:29:34] Speaker B: But what you're getting at there, I think you're on the right track, and it's real good. What. What you just read there. Because you did not trust me and because you did not honor me in front of the Israelites. Well, what did he do? He disobeyed. And so I think the whole key is obedience is so key to one honoring the Lord. So if you want to honor the Lord, it starts with obedience. You want to make Christ known, then obey. And I think that's the thing, that the reason he didn't even get to go into the promised land. You got to stop and think about that just for a second. The man's been pretty good for 40 years, and it took that one. But this was a big one. I mean, because this was, as he says, man, this was kind of a new generation watching to see who God is, who Moses is, what God's done. And he chooses to disobey because he loses his cool. [00:30:28] Speaker C: What verse was that? [00:30:28] Speaker D: Because it says also, you know, where. [00:30:30] Speaker C: He says rebelling or the people are rebellion. [00:30:33] Speaker D: It says, listen, you, rebels. Verse 9, chapter 20, verse 9. Who. [00:30:40] Speaker A: Was he mad at? [00:30:42] Speaker B: I mean, well, look, man, I think he'd had 40 years of that mess. [00:30:46] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:30:46] Speaker B: I guess what. [00:30:47] Speaker C: I guess what he's saying, listen, you, you big dummies, I'm not going back in here waiting another 40 more years. Well, I don't have time. [00:30:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:55] Speaker C: I might not live it, you know, that long. [00:30:57] Speaker B: You know, and I've. I've even made reference to Joshua and Caleb are two of my favorite people in the Bible because they had to walk around in the hot Desert Sun For 38, 40 years knowing every day it was you. That call. I told y', all, if we'd have done this. And they didn't. You never see that in them. And I know. I know how I would have been is okay. I'm 38 years. I got to walk around in this desert because you wouldn't listen to me. I mean, look, my wife would have remembered every minute of it. [00:31:25] Speaker C: Yeah, well, how would you. [00:31:29] Speaker A: I should have made sure. [00:31:30] Speaker B: You did too. Yeah. Yes. [00:31:33] Speaker C: How would you be feeling? [00:31:35] Speaker B: Gracious. [00:31:35] Speaker C: Feel about the last guy who had to. [00:31:39] Speaker B: Who had to fall. [00:31:39] Speaker C: Yeah. All of them might have fell. [00:31:41] Speaker B: You know, the whole nation's like, well, you know, you stop. [00:31:44] Speaker C: They're all looking at him. Do. [00:31:46] Speaker B: Do you remember the. When I referenced that in a sermon of how many deaths there had to be? I mean, you're looking at about, you. [00:31:52] Speaker C: Know, half a million. Million. [00:31:53] Speaker B: Yeah. You're talking about 2 to 3 million people that had to die in a 40 year period. I can't remember. I think I ended up saying it'd be about close to about 25. Was it 2500 a year they had. [00:32:05] Speaker C: Dying in just groups. [00:32:07] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:32:07] Speaker C: And that last person. They all might have died. [00:32:11] Speaker B: The ding dong. The witches did. [00:32:12] Speaker C: Yeah. They all might have died. The third year that one person just stayed around. [00:32:17] Speaker B: Yeah. He might have been taken out. [00:32:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:20] Speaker C: Yeah. He might have been in hiding. Yeah. [00:32:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:25] Speaker B: But you know, for real, though, Caleb and Joshua had to be biting at the bit. Like, man, for 38 years, we gotta wait. [00:32:32] Speaker C: We're just waiting for y' all to die. [00:32:33] Speaker B: And they're the only two older people. [00:32:35] Speaker A: Them in the family. [00:32:36] Speaker B: Ain't no more old people other than them. I was pretty rough, ain't it? When you're the last ones. [00:32:43] Speaker C: That is really almost standing alone. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? [00:32:50] Speaker B: You nailed it, brother. [00:32:51] Speaker C: Outstanding. [00:32:52] Speaker B: Alone. [00:32:52] Speaker C: What you believe? [00:32:54] Speaker B: Well, I mean, the whole camp turned against them. [00:32:57] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:58] Speaker B: So. Yeah. It's just that is standing up for what you believe in. [00:33:01] Speaker A: Yeah. I think there I was talking to somebody this morning about this too, that there's a simplicity to God's power that can almost be like overwhelming. Right. Because like, it's one thing like we talked about last week. It's one thing to know that God's almighty and all powerful and can do all these things, but then to just rest in that alone. [00:33:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:25] Speaker A: And not add to it. [00:33:26] Speaker B: And to let your life be influenced to the point of. [00:33:29] Speaker A: Right. [00:33:29] Speaker B: I mean, I had. [00:33:31] Speaker A: I don't know how to get too deep into this without, you know, sidetracked and stuff. But I've had some stuff that I feel like God's been showing me that just don't make any sense. And I'm trying to follow, but at the same time, it's. It sounds like a horrible idea and it just doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. And it's just like he keeps by process of elimination leaving that as the. Okay, this is where we're going. If you Ain't gonna go there. Then we'll take this one away, and we'll take this one away, but you're going to end up down this path at some point. And I finally got to this point last Sunday after you preached on yours during John 2. There was. I mean, I just got very emotional. [00:34:12] Speaker C: It. [00:34:13] Speaker A: It kind of not exactly in an audible voice, but like the feeling was, you have no idea what I'm capable of doing, and you never will find out until you get out of my way. [00:34:24] Speaker B: Till you step out the boat. [00:34:25] Speaker A: Right. [00:34:26] Speaker B: And. [00:34:26] Speaker A: And it's just that simple. It's just, okay, I can do anything. Speaking from God's perspective, obviously, I can do anything that I want to do, but you got to let me do it and get out of my way and stop controlling the process. [00:34:38] Speaker C: Word. [00:34:38] Speaker A: But. And. But, man, that is a scary. I mean, that sounds all great. Okay, so you're the one sitting in that chair and thinking that I'm just gonna trust you're letting go. Yeah, man, that's a scary. [00:34:50] Speaker B: It is. [00:34:51] Speaker A: But at the same time, is what Moses is doing, that's. [00:34:54] Speaker B: That's the biggest. [00:34:55] Speaker A: One of the worst things you can commit is to doubt what he can do. [00:35:00] Speaker B: And. And that is the. That is what faith is. Is letting go. It's taking that big step to say, don't know how it's gonna work out, but you're gonna work it out. It's. It's knowing that what he's told you is he's gonna do it. [00:35:13] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:35:14] Speaker B: And even when, man, it doesn't look like it or. Golly, this is. It's scary. I mean, look, man, when I've. When I felt like the Lord was calling me to the ministry and leaving a. A good job with security and all that to step out into, I don't know where I'm gonna go. And I mean, because I didn't. Didn't. I never intended to be in it. Fuqua. I figured Lord was going to take me, honestly, take me to China somewhere. And I've been, all right, but at the same time, Lord, I'm stepping out. You're going wherever you want me to go. Yeah, it's wherever Stephen Curtis Chapman sings a song that was. Was during that time, it came out on the radio, and I was like, dog, if there's one song that could sum up what I was going through at that time, it's a song called Whatever. And in the song, Stephen Curtis Chapman wrote down a list of all the things. This is the way God could use me. You Know I'm bright so he can use me. I can sing so he can use me. And I remember writing that same list, you know, pros and cons of why God can and can't use me. And. And finally I just got to the place in the song, he says, set fire to the list. Just whatever, wherever he tells me to go, and wherever he tells me to go, that's what I gotta do. And so that. That is the key of faith. But it also. That's where you trust that that's where you're gonna see God do his best work. [00:36:34] Speaker A: Well, and that's where. Where I was kind of out with that is. I'm saying, okay, God, I hear you, but you. Have you thought about this? Have you thought about this? Have you thought about this? And I started laying out all a list. [00:36:43] Speaker B: Sure. [00:36:44] Speaker A: All the reasons this ain't gonna work. [00:36:45] Speaker B: And I'm sure he loves that. [00:36:47] Speaker A: Yeah. The only answer that I got back was basically that you have no idea what I'm capable of, apparently. I mean, like I should. I know what he's capable of. [00:36:55] Speaker B: Well. And I think it's one of those things. Then you remind yourself of what some of the names of God are. He's the one who sees the beginning, the end from the beginning. He's the one who sees all, knows all. He's all. I mean, that's where you trust that he is all wise, all powerful, omniscient, and, you know, those kind of things that you. As you see in the scriptures, you got to trust that. Yeah, that. Okay. Have I. If you really thought about this God, I bet you he has. And it's almost one of those. Because I was the same way. And it's almost. You know, there came a time when the Lord said, if you don't, you know, trust that I'm going to do this, you know, if I thought of this. Yeah. I thought of that long before you were even born, Chad. Yeah. [00:37:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:36] Speaker B: And that's. That's the key. If he. If he planned the slaying of his son before the foundation of the earth, I dare say he's thought through every one of your little problems. Not to belittle. [00:37:46] Speaker A: Oh, no, no. [00:37:47] Speaker B: Because my problems, too. I didn't. I thought they were huge. He took care of every one of them. [00:37:52] Speaker C: Yeah. And it's easier for me to have faith on, praying about your problems, but it's hard for me to have faith praying about my problem. [00:38:00] Speaker B: Sure, sure. I can't. I can criticize Peter all day. Yeah. He's scared A cat or him. He got on the water and fail. No. We would have done the same. So. [00:38:11] Speaker C: Yeah, I guess you have to take the emotion out of it. [00:38:16] Speaker B: I mean, there's a living example here. Within the last two years, Brandon, you. You had to step out in faith. [00:38:23] Speaker A: I mean, you. [00:38:24] Speaker B: You left a good job. [00:38:25] Speaker C: Yeah. To. [00:38:26] Speaker B: To start a business that you felt like the Lord was leading it. So. I know it was scary. Well, yeah, Brian. [00:38:35] Speaker D: No, really, that was. It was because you got. You got a little girl at home. You get a wife life and you got bills every Coming every month and starting it from scratch where you don't know what the next week's gonna hold. You gotta go. Dave. I was just going day by day. And it reminds me, you said on the podcast before I didn't know if I was gonna have enough money to pay the bills. Just like you talked about growing, you know, and the biggest verse. And I'm trust. I'm sorry if I can't give the right verse or the. The exact passage. [00:39:01] Speaker B: We'll help you. We'll help you. [00:39:04] Speaker D: Trusting. [00:39:04] Speaker A: And we have an encyclopedia. [00:39:05] Speaker D: Every day has its own problem. Problems. Don't worry about tomorrow. [00:39:11] Speaker A: One of my favorites. [00:39:12] Speaker D: That right there was one of the biggest guys for me. And of course, the Lord being there no matter what. You can't. You get all this problems you got to worry about. But just focus on today. [00:39:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:39:24] Speaker D: And get the day done because tomorrow's a new. [00:39:26] Speaker B: Trust me, today. [00:39:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:39:28] Speaker D: And I've been in situations when I first started out that I didn't have the money. But then here come the it. The Lord opened up this store, closed that door, whatever. Here there was in the mailbox right there. You had to pay a bill. Whatever. [00:39:40] Speaker B: Well. [00:39:41] Speaker A: And Lord. And it's funny too. [00:39:44] Speaker D: I give it all to him. I truly. [00:39:45] Speaker B: That's right. [00:39:46] Speaker D: I know you build a business and you're doing the work and stuff, but that was the Lord directing me into where I am today. [00:39:52] Speaker B: And then on top of that, the Lord gives you the ability to know how to know volts equals current times resistance. [00:39:59] Speaker D: He's trying so hard. [00:40:07] Speaker B: Yes, I do. Well, it's. I. I have to admit, man, it's jealousy for all the riches and the money. [00:40:14] Speaker A: Yeah. Coveting. [00:40:19] Speaker D: No. What do you know? He's got to work on some boats around here for some. [00:40:22] Speaker A: You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. [00:40:25] Speaker C: It's funny. [00:40:26] Speaker B: That's what I gave the names for the boat. That's what I was giving you, dude. [00:40:30] Speaker D: On the podcast. [00:40:31] Speaker B: Yes. You and I were Talking. I think it's in a thread. We were tweeting, texting. [00:40:36] Speaker D: Yeah, maybe. [00:40:37] Speaker B: And I gave you all kinds of names for the boat. All right, that's it. Go ahead. [00:40:40] Speaker A: I can't keep it. Well, see, I've had like, I get that feeling from your side of stepping out and from years ago when I, When I started my first, you know, my. When I went independent as an advisor. But see, the difference from me and where I think you were is I had done all this preparation. I had done all these things and checked all these boxes. So it didn't feel like I was stepping out in faith. I was stepping out on my own faith in myself that I had done throughout the. But when you're having to step out and rely entirely on the Lord and to relinquish that power of feeling like you do have any control over the outcome of it, sure, you have to do the things he tells you to do. But trusting that he's going to be the one that provides and not you are going to figure out a way to provide. That was my biggest thing for the longest time, is I can control this. I can figure out a way. I'll find a way off. [00:41:29] Speaker B: And there's nothing wrong with thinking through. There's nothing wrong with preparation. There's nothing. Because I dare say for. For a lot of Moses was prepared by the Lord for 40 years before he sent him to the. Before he sent him to Pharaoh. So there's nothing wrong with preparing or getting ready for stuff or doing all the number crunching. Nothing wrong with that. But I think it comes back to. And you hit on it. Is it me that's doing the work? Am I trusting the Lord, those kind of things. So. But yeah, just stepping out with no kind of preparation or thinking through. I don't know that God ever calls us to do that either. Sometimes maybe, but most of the time it's one of at least making sure you're prepared or got stuff together. Don't you think? [00:42:12] Speaker C: Well, let me just get back. I'm going to take it off tangent, then we'll go back to what you were saying. [00:42:17] Speaker B: Oh, boy. [00:42:18] Speaker A: That's exactly right. [00:42:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:23] Speaker A: That's a cue for me to get my edit it mouse ready because. [00:42:28] Speaker C: I want to keep this thought. Just when you said Moses was the most humblest man and you are correct, he was. But who wrote that? [00:42:37] Speaker B: He wrote it. He. [00:42:38] Speaker C: Yeah, he wrote it himself. You think he wrote it himself? Because that's not being humble. [00:42:46] Speaker B: Later. [00:42:46] Speaker C: Okay. [00:42:47] Speaker B: Honestly, God told him to write it and he's like, I really don't want to write that. [00:42:51] Speaker C: Lord. [00:42:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:52] Speaker C: Now you see me right here. I'm the most humblest person ever. Whatever. Yep. Yeah, that. [00:42:56] Speaker B: That does. [00:42:57] Speaker A: That'd be a. Huh. [00:42:59] Speaker B: That was pretty good. I bleed that in. [00:43:02] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:43:02] Speaker B: All right, now. Now you going. You gonna ask some question? [00:43:05] Speaker C: No, that was my. That was what I was gonna. That's what I was gonna say. [00:43:09] Speaker D: All right, well, I will add this. [00:43:12] Speaker C: Uhoh. [00:43:13] Speaker D: Having that say. [00:43:14] Speaker A: Oh, boy, you really got to stay on your toes around here. You never know we're going to let a serious moment turn funny. Or a funny moment. That's what makes it good, right? [00:43:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:25] Speaker D: That's why listens from the beginning to the end because you never know what's going to happen. But I will say this though. The biggest thing is this. He gets you there. Don't. And I struggle with this is don't forget that and be with him daily because you're not. You're. You wouldn't be where you're at because of him. [00:43:44] Speaker B: You got it? [00:43:45] Speaker D: And I will say to this day, I. I still. I struggle with that because I. There's times where it's like, all right, hey, you know, you're working and bills come every month. And Rachel, full vouch for this. You did all this work. Well, sometimes the money hasn't come in yet because it's like you made. Yeah, I know you made some good money, but it's all in the clouds. But the bills, you know, Capital one don't care if you. What your situation is. They want their money every month. So you gotta trust. And. And every time. I mean, literally till. To this day, every day. It's always been there. [00:44:17] Speaker A: Well, and even. And be close. [00:44:18] Speaker D: I mean real close. [00:44:19] Speaker A: And even ap. From that. I mean, maybe the money does come in, but you don't have a control over unexpected expenses. Yes, you don't have to. There are so many. I mean, you can play that game all day. There's a lot of things that can. Can affect that. And at the end of the day, I think that's the most. That's a huge thing to remember throughout it is remembering where it came from and remembering that it's by him and from him. And it can. [00:44:43] Speaker D: And it doesn't have to be just a business. It could be life. [00:44:45] Speaker A: And you need to be every day. [00:44:47] Speaker D: No matter what we're doing, we're blessed just waking up. [00:44:50] Speaker B: But the key is obedience. And the key is being humbly submitted. But that it always comes down to obedience. I mean, really Does. I mean, blessings follow obedience. [00:45:01] Speaker A: Well, it goes back to something that I remember saying on a show a while back too, that I wanted. I gotten to a point where I wanted God's will. It wasn't just accepting it, but it was. I wanted what he wanted. Part of it comes from just acknowledging that he. And it's the simplest thing in the world, but just acknowledging that he is still smarter than you and he does no better than you. [00:45:20] Speaker D: You. [00:45:20] Speaker A: I mean, it's. Sometimes it's. Well, okay, we'll accept it. [00:45:24] Speaker C: We'll accept. [00:45:24] Speaker B: Well, it's right. [00:45:25] Speaker D: You should accept. [00:45:26] Speaker A: What he wants is right. [00:45:27] Speaker B: He's the all sovereign that knows. Yeah, right. He's been around a little bit longer than I have. I give it up. [00:45:32] Speaker A: You're not doing him a favor by accepting his will. You know what I mean? Like you're making him feel good about. [00:45:37] Speaker D: That's right. [00:45:39] Speaker C: I like. Well, I'm thinking is that. Because I've seen it before and I kind of play on what you said that. Don't forget where you. Where God brought you from. I've known a lot of people that trusted the Lord and they got back on their feet. But eventually pride kind of seeped in. Same thing that happened to Solomon. [00:46:01] Speaker B: Solomon. But think about your man that you've been on today. Moses, his last sermon to them was, don't get into that land. And even God told him, you're going to get in there. You're going to drink from wells you didn't dig. You're going to live a life of ease and you're going to forget about me. Me. How, How. How in the world can that happen? Very easily. We put it on autopilot. We begin to think that you. We've done all this. [00:46:27] Speaker C: That's the tr. Or. [00:46:28] Speaker B: Or that we somehow deserve it. [00:46:32] Speaker C: That's the trick. The trick is not become humble. It's staying humble. I think that's. I'm. At least. It is for me. [00:46:41] Speaker D: Yeah, I would agree with that. [00:46:43] Speaker B: Yeah. No, I think. But that's the whole key to your walk with the Lord too, too. I mean, prayer is about dependence. Prayer is. Is humility. [00:46:50] Speaker C: Because if you haven't seen the answer to your prayers, you're humble. When you start seeing your answers to prayers, depending on what the answers are, your pride can start coming in. [00:47:01] Speaker B: Pride can creep in. In anything. Yeah. [00:47:03] Speaker C: You just get content. Are you. You know, when things are going well, you're not. Oh, man, I'm all right. I'm good today. [00:47:11] Speaker B: That can happen in a church. It can Happen in your life. [00:47:14] Speaker C: And it does happen. [00:47:15] Speaker D: Happen. [00:47:15] Speaker C: It can't happen. It does happen. [00:47:17] Speaker B: No, no, no. It's. That's one of the biggest downfalls there is. [00:47:20] Speaker C: Many times. Yep. Yeah. [00:47:23] Speaker B: But no, it becomes very easy to somehow think you did it. And you got to resist that with everything you got. [00:47:31] Speaker D: That's why I don't listen to what you and Ben say. And all that stuff about the electrical stuff. [00:47:41] Speaker B: You don't even know that Volt sequels. [00:47:42] Speaker A: I'll. [00:47:46] Speaker D: Make sure I threw that out there now. [00:47:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:49] Speaker A: He wants the emphasis. [00:47:50] Speaker B: I love it. [00:47:51] Speaker A: On the. The dips in the cash flow, not the. [00:47:53] Speaker B: The peaks. [00:47:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:47:55] Speaker D: You know what you said, though, Being serious. [00:47:59] Speaker A: Sound like Brandon. [00:48:00] Speaker D: He gives you a cue. [00:48:01] Speaker A: We're gonna go see. [00:48:01] Speaker D: Yay. Pastor would know and you know more than anybody, but we probably go to Jesus when it's bad times more than we do the good times. [00:48:10] Speaker B: Absolutely. [00:48:10] Speaker D: And I think if we would reverse that. [00:48:13] Speaker B: Well, I think. [00:48:16] Speaker D: Yes. [00:48:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:17] Speaker D: I mean, daily it's walking with him. Yes. [00:48:19] Speaker A: Walk with this. [00:48:20] Speaker C: I think very good. I think 1. What you say is a good point. And a lot of times, if you're. If you're seeking the Lord, you're always. I won't say a lot. I won't say all the times, but we need to be. Stay humble. And God needs to put trials and tribulations in our life to stay humble. [00:48:39] Speaker A: I really. [00:48:40] Speaker B: It's some of that. That's. [00:48:42] Speaker C: That's some of our own mistakes. [00:48:44] Speaker B: Yeah, sometimes it is our own mistakes, but a lot of times it is those times of. Look, man. How in the world would Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego know that their God is a delivering God unless they went into that furnace and there shows the fourth man. How would. How would Noah know that you know that this boat's going to float other than I'm gonna. According to what God said. He don't even know what rain is. [00:49:09] Speaker C: Meak. [00:49:10] Speaker A: That's right. [00:49:11] Speaker C: I was just. [00:49:11] Speaker A: Never rained before. [00:49:12] Speaker B: That's right. So. Yeah. What's right? [00:49:15] Speaker A: What are you talking about? We're gonna have a flood. Oh, too much rain. Well, what's. What's rain, Meach? [00:49:21] Speaker C: Was it me? Shadrach had been. [00:49:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:49:25] Speaker C: What did they say when they went into the furnace? [00:49:27] Speaker B: Well, whether you. Whether you deliver me or not. [00:49:29] Speaker C: Whether you deliver me where. [00:49:32] Speaker B: Yeah, I win. By the way, that's a nice shirt. How much money. How many dewalt tools you gotta buy to get a dewalt shirt? [00:49:40] Speaker C: That's right. They just. I just. I just walk in the store, and they just jump on me. [00:49:44] Speaker B: I'll tell you. Well, I mean, have you seen his grunge? [00:49:47] Speaker D: Okay. They ought to make it a museum. I'm surprised. [00:49:52] Speaker A: I want him. [00:49:53] Speaker B: I said, what is this? Connecticut Yankee workshop? [00:49:56] Speaker D: I mean, I went in there, and I should. [00:49:58] Speaker C: He's always in that toolbox. [00:49:59] Speaker D: If you wander there and you just touch one and it went crooked, he goes, go. Hey. [00:50:03] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, just straight as a stick. Every dewalt, I Bet man has 25 rechargeable batteries. I know. I was impressed. So you. You. I can understand getting a shirt. [00:50:14] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:50:16] Speaker C: Club, please. I'm a sponsor. [00:50:18] Speaker B: Oh. You know, I figured. I figured somebody else at this table would have some T shirts because. Wire. Building wire. Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:50:27] Speaker D: He. [00:50:27] Speaker C: He got. He's a dwarf, man. Did y' all know that that. [00:50:30] Speaker B: Is it. Is it kind of dewalt shirt? [00:50:32] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:50:32] Speaker D: Yeah. Look at that. [00:50:34] Speaker B: Like, 20. [00:50:35] Speaker A: Wow. [00:50:35] Speaker B: Wow. [00:50:36] Speaker C: Y. [00:50:36] Speaker B: 20. [00:50:36] Speaker A: When did you get that? [00:50:37] Speaker D: You gave it to them? [00:50:41] Speaker B: He has. [00:50:42] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:50:43] Speaker B: In a pean. That's from Pierce farm. [00:50:45] Speaker C: Yeah. This just. [00:50:46] Speaker D: Oh, is that right? [00:50:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:50:46] Speaker C: I told you that. It just fell in that bag. So. [00:50:51] Speaker B: All right. [00:50:52] Speaker A: Shirts. Christian argued with me last night, so I've got a. I was getting a lot. [00:50:55] Speaker D: We were do. [00:50:56] Speaker A: Him and Gabe were putting laundry away, and he gets. I feel bad for Christian sometimes. I think I take out some of the. The frustration I think God has with me on him. So, like, when he argues with me, I kind of talk to him the way God probably wants to talk. [00:51:08] Speaker B: Yes. [00:51:09] Speaker A: But he gets a. A shirt out, and he says, that's not mine. [00:51:12] Speaker C: It's Gabe's. I don't have to tell you. [00:51:15] Speaker A: I can eyeball and tell you. [00:51:16] Speaker B: I mean, two. One fifth grade, kindergarten. And one's like, yeah, eighth grade. [00:51:22] Speaker A: He's adamant that this is not his shirt. So either this was the one shirt in this entire load that magically shrunk in this load of laundry, which. I mean, I'm not exactly. Domestic keeper of the year. Maybe that is possible. But he swears it's not his. He said it must be Reese's then. So I make him try it on to prove it. He still says it's Reese's. [00:51:43] Speaker D: Really? [00:51:43] Speaker A: Reese gets home, and she's. I said, is this your shirt? Knowing it wasn't. [00:51:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:51:48] Speaker C: And he says. [00:51:49] Speaker A: And she says, no, it's not mine. Look at it. It doesn't fit. It's half my size. You see, Christian, it's yours. He said, it's not mine. I know. It's hers or. I know I said, Christ, you should seriously, you are the most stubborn. [00:51:59] Speaker B: Stick with it. [00:51:59] Speaker A: And I know, mama, if you hear this, I know that, that he's not the most stubborn, but he's, I think he is. I finally told him, I said, if you don't stop arguing with me. I mean it's, he's. And I'm sitting there thinking, yeah, I, I, I see God's side of that, but I, I do argue with him a lot. [00:52:15] Speaker B: Clean out those cracks there. [00:52:17] Speaker C: Do it. [00:52:17] Speaker B: You gotta clean out those lines. So I will share this. [00:52:21] Speaker D: The other week I had to do a floodlight the other day. All right, it was probably last week, I think it was. And it was about 20, 27, 28ft. [00:52:30] Speaker B: Up in the air. [00:52:31] Speaker D: And I have the extension ladder all the way up pretty good. So I go up there, I just, I set it up right here on the right hand side. But I'm left handed, right. So I have to reach over like this. And it's, I'm sketched out a little bit. [00:52:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:52:45] Speaker D: So, you know, it's. So I'm up there changing in, get it all down and everything thing I said, well, maybe we should put it up on the deck so I can be left handed and be up right here. I was still, I was sketch that when you talk about Meach and the fire and everything. I was up there and I was starting to myself like, knock myself down, like, all right, you, you might want to get down, you're going to fall and all this other stuff and, and how I truly I went, I went to the Lord and I said, look, please be with me. Please give me peace. Please take this fear out of me because I'm, I'm getting overwhelmed with the fear. But I'm still working. [00:53:23] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:53:24] Speaker D: And I, I'm, I'm telling you right now. It came over me when I was like the fear was still there, but it was like it just took it away. And I just, and I got it done, I got the light done and I came back down on that. But when you talk about what your daily life, just by speaking to him, if you're upon a ladder or if you're at home on the supper, just talk to him and just, hey, you know, trust in him that he's gonna, he's be right there with you. [00:53:47] Speaker B: That's the key. And so I wanted just that that's the key, man. I'm telling you. It goes a long way too just by that. Just like he's being there. [00:53:55] Speaker D: I'm not Saying it's a prayer or. Or sitting there, just. [00:53:58] Speaker A: But that is. [00:53:58] Speaker B: That is praying without ceasing. That's what that is. [00:54:01] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:54:01] Speaker D: It's almost like he's right here with you. Look, Lord. [00:54:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:54:04] Speaker B: Lord, I'm scared to death right now, Lord. I really need this Lord fixing to talk to this guy and I sure. [00:54:10] Speaker D: Would love your guidance maybe a minute now because I. Heights that I can lifts 30, 40, 50. But this, it was just, you know. [00:54:19] Speaker A: Well, the thing about it is too, that I've experienced with that too is that first of all, I'd never get on a 28 foot ladder. I'm terrified of heights. But it doesn't have to even be in that type of situation. There's a lot. And I don't want. I don't want to take this so far so, you know, we end up being paranoid either. But if you look around you, there's plenty of dangerous stuff around our daily life. You. You need God's protection getting in the car to drive. Drive to church. You need it to every time. Heck, you can choke on your breakfast if you're not careful if something goes down the wrong way. There are a lot of just very basic everyday things that we just take for granted, you know, totally fine. And 99.99 of the time. [00:54:54] Speaker B: It is. [00:54:55] Speaker A: But that also doesn't mean that we can do it without him. I mean, there's a really cool song my aunt shared with me a few months ago. I can't remember the artist, but it's on my playlist. I can't even walk without you holding my hand. [00:55:07] Speaker B: You heard that one I was thinking about. [00:55:08] Speaker A: Is it Cody Johnson? [00:55:09] Speaker D: Is that a. [00:55:11] Speaker A: Would that be a. I don't know that one. It's a country song. [00:55:14] Speaker B: But yeah, I was gonna say, dude, you're in the wrong genre. [00:55:17] Speaker A: I gotta go back to this rock to get to you. [00:55:20] Speaker B: Well, or. Or 90s country or 90s family. Yeah. But. [00:55:24] Speaker A: But it's. I mean, that's the premise of the song. I can't even walk without you holding my hand. But I think the more you. That's where a lot of humility. [00:55:31] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:55:32] Speaker A: If you really take inventory of all the things you can't do without God. [00:55:36] Speaker B: So you start to really. [00:55:37] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:55:37] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:55:38] Speaker A: It starts to really. You find. [00:55:40] Speaker B: Wait a minute. I can breathe without him. It's his oxygen, dude. [00:55:43] Speaker D: That's right. [00:55:43] Speaker B: You didn't breathe. [00:55:44] Speaker A: That's right. And it's for. When you said in the sermon one time, what if God took away all the things you didn't thank him for. [00:55:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:55:52] Speaker A: And I'm thinking, well, good Lord, I can literally pray for the rest of. [00:55:55] Speaker B: My life without life. [00:55:56] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:55:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:55:58] Speaker A: And never. That's it. Run out of things to thank him for. [00:56:01] Speaker C: I like what Brandon said. You talk to the Lord anytime. And now I'm going to speak a little bit of electrician. I. I know you're going and you're. [00:56:11] Speaker A: Going to understand this, but here we go. [00:56:15] Speaker C: God is like that life socket, you know, you can talk to him anytime. He's right there. We're the ones that had to plug in. How's that? [00:56:27] Speaker B: That's actually. You got there. At first, I was like, oh, I know. [00:56:30] Speaker D: I was like, yeah. [00:56:34] Speaker B: I thought, talk to a light socket anytime you want to talk to a light socket. And I ain't never done that one. But y' all like that. You got to plug in. [00:56:40] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:56:41] Speaker B: Or. [00:56:41] Speaker D: Or you can wire everything up, but as long as you don't have the source of power to power thing up or. [00:56:46] Speaker B: If you want to talk about a radio, there's. There's radio waves around me. [00:56:49] Speaker C: It's just electrician talk. [00:56:51] Speaker B: You got to be tuned in. [00:56:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:56:54] Speaker B: Just two electricians talk. But out. [00:56:56] Speaker C: We talk about this kind of stuff all the time. [00:57:01] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:57:03] Speaker D: He just wants help is all. He'll text me, say, hey, man, do you know anything about this? You think you help me with this? My face time or something I help you with? [00:57:11] Speaker A: Ray, by the way, was beating me up Sunday morning in children's church. She kept going around with the don't. Don't give me that look in a playful way. Don't get in trouble. I ain't trying to get in trouble. He looked at me like, she did what? But no, we're making these cups that you like. You flip the cotton ball up and try to catch it. It's cotton ball on string. Anyway, she's walking around with that cotton ball trying to slap me with. [00:57:32] Speaker C: I swallow. [00:57:33] Speaker A: Tell your daddy thank you for saying that. [00:57:34] Speaker D: Because last Sunday night, night tonight, or last night, and probably again, we been that shark you made with the cup. And. Oh, yeah, for some reason, I walk in the door coming from work, and. Or I come home, and she's like, dad, let's throw that cup. So we're in the house throwing. She's like, all right, whoever gets the 12 wins. [00:57:52] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:57:53] Speaker D: And so we're throwing it. I'm telling you, she can catch it by the string. So it's funny you said that. [00:57:57] Speaker A: That's pretty cool. [00:57:57] Speaker D: We've been playing that Every night. So I'm sure tonight she'll want to play again. [00:58:00] Speaker A: But we had some leftovers, so I ended up taking them home for Christian race to play with, because they're always playing games like that, so. [00:58:06] Speaker D: Yeah, but y' all did great, though, because you wake up string in there and then. I mean, just the eyeballs with the shark and the tail. That was. [00:58:12] Speaker A: Yeah, we. We did nothing on that. That was Gene Jackson that did that. That was her. Her whole thing. She's good. Yeah, she. That was her. [00:58:20] Speaker D: I mean, it was the blue cup with the eye. I mean, it looked like. Oh, I mean, Jonah. [00:58:24] Speaker A: She did a great job with it with the fish. I can't take a bit of credit. I won't even pretend to take credit for that. [00:58:28] Speaker B: My lead up was real good then, because I. I didn't know. I couldn't remember it was Jonah. I just said, I think it's Jonah. So y' all gonna learn something about a big fish, but lessons that y' all use. If you use the PowerPoint on Sunday night, and I'm trying my best, so you make that. [00:58:47] Speaker D: You do the. [00:58:47] Speaker A: Well, we had a PowerPoint. [00:58:51] Speaker D: Now, I'm talking about for the kids. [00:58:52] Speaker C: The. [00:58:52] Speaker B: You don't see children on the screen up there. [00:58:56] Speaker A: Yeah, but we only do the video. [00:58:58] Speaker B: Okay, but we just play. There's a whole thing from. There's questions for kids. There's, like, five or six different things that you play. [00:59:06] Speaker A: Yeah, we only end up doing the video. [00:59:07] Speaker B: Y' all need to. You need to go and, like, watch one of them. So you can see you got 20 minutes worth of material there that you can tell the story. Then do the video. Do questions from kids that. I love that. Because that's a guy answering. Just kind of what we do. [00:59:20] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:59:21] Speaker A: So, yeah, when you start doing the. [00:59:23] Speaker B: She used the whole thing. Yeah, yeah. [00:59:26] Speaker C: I'm just sitting there. [00:59:28] Speaker B: And then it's got the artwork, then he's got the questions like, you know, what. What does God want us to do? And then it's got the answers and it's got the verses. [00:59:36] Speaker C: I mean, she's go word by word. [00:59:38] Speaker A: But. [00:59:38] Speaker C: I mean, she's. She's a. [00:59:40] Speaker B: But she uses it. [00:59:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:59:41] Speaker C: I mean, she's a teacher. [00:59:43] Speaker B: I. I use. I love it. [00:59:44] Speaker A: We've just been playing. We. We'll come in and do, you know, opening prayer and all that stuff, and then we'll play the video, and then we'll, you know, talk about it and. [00:59:52] Speaker B: Well, take a look at all those other slides, man. They're there for Something, I promise it'll help take up that time. I mean, I'm not up there. You're not down there 20 minutes. [01:00:00] Speaker C: Yeah, well, sometimes there's been like, okay, hour. [01:00:04] Speaker B: No, it ain't never been an hour. [01:00:08] Speaker C: Been the spent way after 12. Just when I. I'm not saying that. [01:00:14] Speaker B: 12. Sunday 12:05. [01:00:15] Speaker A: What time are we actually being released for children's church? I'm not paying attention. [01:00:18] Speaker B: Well, that's it. Sometimes it's later. [01:00:20] Speaker A: Yeah. 1111 was 11 or 1115. [01:00:23] Speaker B: It usually is. Well, sometimes it can be, you know, depends. [01:00:26] Speaker C: 45 minutes for 11:15 to 40, 20. Well, that's 45 minutes. [01:00:33] Speaker D: We tend to get out a little early. When he does the part one, part two, part three. I think he's gotten a little bit comfortable with this. Part one, part two, 30 minutes, I'm out, man. [01:00:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:00:44] Speaker B: Sometimes I, I feel rushed to get it all in so this. I can relax a little bit more with it. Yeah. But I try not to be. Keep us there much past 12 because I know we got babies in the nursery. We got, you know. [01:00:55] Speaker C: Well, don't do it on my. On my account because that's what mattered to me. [01:00:59] Speaker B: I know that. But still there's folks that are down that are working at children's church. Everything. Let's be considerate. Yeah. Especially nursery workers. Some of them been here since 8:30. [01:01:08] Speaker C: Do you have a clock on the video? [01:01:11] Speaker D: I do. [01:01:11] Speaker B: The, the TV's at the back have a clock. [01:01:13] Speaker A: Yeah. At the rate we're going, I'm gonna pick on you, but I'm gonna take it back in a minute. At the rate we're going, we're going to be in the book of John till 2027. But that's fine. [01:01:22] Speaker C: That's the earliest. [01:01:23] Speaker A: Yeah, but that's fine because there's some really, really good stuff in Speed up. [01:01:28] Speaker B: We get past John 4. [01:01:30] Speaker A: Yeah. If there's a book in the Bible that I do think you can get real deep on. Oh, there's a good. It's a good one. [01:01:36] Speaker B: John for. Well, I've enjoyed Hebrews on Wednesday night. Now that's been some kind of fun for me. First by verse through it, Hebrews is good because there's a lot of good stuff there. [01:01:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:01:45] Speaker B: So we're having a good time where we are in the text and I'm thankful for what God's doing. [01:01:50] Speaker C: So you could do all. All John. [01:01:52] Speaker B: No, just portraits. We hang it in the Louvre. [01:01:54] Speaker C: Remember? If you had to do. If you had to do a series on John, John 2 and 3. [01:02:00] Speaker B: Okay. [01:02:01] Speaker C: How long would it take? Anything. [01:02:03] Speaker B: Well, see, I skipped a big piece of John, too. I didn't even go into him cleaning out John. Oh, first, second, third John. [01:02:11] Speaker C: Just second, Third John. [01:02:13] Speaker B: Wait a minute. [01:02:15] Speaker C: How long would it take you? [01:02:16] Speaker B: John two and John three are not first and second. [01:02:19] Speaker D: Okay. [01:02:19] Speaker B: Second and third John. Yeah. [01:02:21] Speaker C: How long would it. [01:02:21] Speaker B: I have taught them, and I think it took me. Me three weeks. And two weeks through two to three in John and second John and only one and third John. [01:02:31] Speaker C: Thirds is the shortest. Yeah. [01:02:33] Speaker D: Okay. [01:02:33] Speaker B: But first John took me quite a bit. [01:02:36] Speaker C: Well, I mean, I think I took. [01:02:38] Speaker A: Not. [01:02:38] Speaker B: Not first John, First John versus John. [01:02:41] Speaker C: I know. [01:02:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:43] Speaker C: I'm just saying first I could tell first John. If it's like John 1. We're thinking it takes you some time. [01:02:51] Speaker A: This is. Sorry, totally, totally random question here, but I just remembered something. A friend of mine, I don't know. [01:02:57] Speaker C: If he listens about John. [01:02:59] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:02:59] Speaker B: Which one? [01:03:00] Speaker A: It's barely even has anything to do with the Bible, but it does a little bit. A friend of mine, I don't know if he listens to the show or not. If so, he knows who I'm talking about, but he'll call me once in a while with these just like, random Bible questions. Okay. And sometimes they're like, oh, deep. I got to dig into it. This was the craziest question. He said, do you think Adam and Eve had belly button buttons? I said, now that's one I've never. [01:03:21] Speaker B: Thought of, but I don't think they did. Is. [01:03:27] Speaker A: There's no reason for it wouldn't be. [01:03:29] Speaker B: Yeah, they're created. [01:03:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:03:30] Speaker C: When Sam came in in the world, a lot of things changed. [01:03:35] Speaker B: Well, that, like Millibut and Baby were born. That was, you know, she. If sin had not entered, would they. Would they have been born the same way? I don't know. [01:03:46] Speaker A: Anyway, totally random question. [01:03:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:03:48] Speaker C: They were supposed to reproduce and multiply. [01:03:51] Speaker B: Right. So there would have been babies. [01:03:53] Speaker C: Just, I mean, one way or the other. [01:03:54] Speaker B: But yeah, I don't. I don't think they did. That's just me. Again, that's a serious. [01:04:00] Speaker C: That's a. Is that a deep theological question, get in heaven question? [01:04:04] Speaker A: It's close in some circles, probably. [01:04:07] Speaker B: Yeah. But I. I really don't think they did because I think they were creating. Created. [01:04:11] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:04:12] Speaker A: Is that not the first time you've ever been asked that question because you were born? [01:04:16] Speaker D: He's pretty confident. [01:04:19] Speaker B: I was floored. [01:04:19] Speaker A: I was like, I would do what. I know you. [01:04:22] Speaker B: You just don't believe how Much people. People feel like, you know, I'll ask him. Sometimes you got to be. You gotta be quick to, you know, think through and think. Well, wait a minute now. This text and this text. How's that line up? [01:04:36] Speaker A: So, and you got anything for us to close on this week? [01:04:40] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And it's kind of. I tell you what, it's Luke chapter six. Maybe, maybe. Should I give this as a homework assignment or should I just. [01:04:50] Speaker A: Yeah, I need redemption. [01:04:51] Speaker B: Should I just go ahead and give it. Really what I want to talk about is, you know, all throughout scriptures, especially Paul and Jesus, I think he tells us a lot of times to evaluate yourself. I think that's part of growing in your faith is okay. Just as okay. Am I being OBEs? Am I walking in this? Do I see more of Christ in me? We need to make sure that we are evaluating ourselves and be honest with ourselves because it's in that self evaluation that we can make sure that we are still growing in our discipleship. With that in mind, Luke chapter six. And let's look at. And this will be a homework assignment, or I'll just talk about it. We'll come back next week and kind of hit on it. Luke chapter six. And we're looking at verses. I want to go 43. We'll go through 48, 49. What's the end of the chapter there? [01:05:43] Speaker A: Go to the end of the chapter 49. [01:05:48] Speaker B: Okay, 43 through 49, there are three tests that you need to. Need to do to find out what your. Or am I a true disciple of Christ? All right? And here's the three questions, and I want you to work through that and we'll come back next week. Number one is, what is my fruit? Is it good or bad? Who is my first? And what do I mean by that? In Luke 46, verse 46, he says, why do you call me Lord, Lord, and don't do what I do? In other words, am I your first love? And then last but not least, what is your foundation? What is your fruit? Who's your first? What's your foundation? This is just a good self evaluation to make sure. Hey, am I growing as a disciple? Disciples. [01:06:30] Speaker A: All right? [01:06:31] Speaker B: And I'll work through that and then hopefully everybody will and we'll come back and talk a little bit about it. [01:06:37] Speaker C: Brandon interrupting me is fruit. What guy? He got my page. [01:06:44] Speaker B: Luke 6:43 through 48 and 49, three questions. What is your fruit? [01:06:52] Speaker A: I got that. [01:06:52] Speaker B: Who is your first? What's my foundation? [01:06:55] Speaker A: You going be back with his next question. [01:06:56] Speaker D: Twigging, I'm sure. [01:06:57] Speaker B: If he can. [01:06:58] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:06:58] Speaker B: Awesome. If he can, he can. [01:06:59] Speaker C: I. I'd love the answer. [01:07:01] Speaker D: Your fruit, your first. And I'm sorry. [01:07:03] Speaker B: Fruit First Foundation. Three Fs. [01:07:07] Speaker D: Yeah. There goes that alliteration. Yes. Is that what it's called? [01:07:11] Speaker C: Yes. Yeah. [01:07:11] Speaker B: When. When every letter. First letter. Starts the same alliteration out of it. [01:07:15] Speaker C: Who is your first? [01:07:16] Speaker A: Is it acrostic when you're making a word out of the first acostic? [01:07:19] Speaker B: It's a word. [01:07:20] Speaker D: Oh, wow. [01:07:21] Speaker B: What's your friend. Who is your first. [01:07:23] Speaker A: I never seen somebody can come up. [01:07:25] Speaker B: Alliteration like he does. [01:07:26] Speaker A: You can do it on the fly, too. [01:07:28] Speaker B: Well, that's where. That's why I need to be in marketing, man. I can come up with. [01:07:33] Speaker C: Who is your first? [01:07:34] Speaker D: What?
