00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,120
Welcome to the GTP show.

2
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:13,880
I'm your host Dylan with my cohost Jason.

3
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:14,880
Hello Jason.

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,880
You doing good?

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:18,880
I'm actually doing pretty good today.

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,480
I've been really busy designing a new website for us.

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,920
Yeah, and it looks amazing.

8
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:25,920
Can I just say that?

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:32,080
Like you sent me the link last night and I was like, oh dang.

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,080
Looks nice.

11
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,080
It's fancy.

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,080
Like we fancy, huh?

13
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,080
Fancy.

14
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,320
It's a lot cleaner.

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,720
You go ahead, click on it, check it out.

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,480
Now, if you think it sucks and we'll go back to what we had.

17
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:51,200
Right.

18
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:58,680
So I'm hosting today and we're talking about serving a servant, having a servant's heart,

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:00:59,680
what it means to serve.

20
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:06,120
I think we just got to dive right into it.

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:12,640
First thing I thought of honestly is I was thinking the greatest among you will be servant,

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,480
you know, 2311 says that.

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:23,000
Because I was like, well, I'm like, okay, if the greatest among you will be serving.

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,440
And I think that kind of ties in with last week's episode of humble.

25
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,520
Oh yeah.

26
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,320
You have to humble yourself to serve others.

27
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:36,880
Because you can't have a prideful heart in doing that.

28
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,200
I think that that's really big.

29
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:48,360
By serving, by serving and really humbling yourself, you have that servant's heart and

30
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:55,120
to do all that, because you can't go in thinking, having that pridefulness and I'm amazing,

31
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,400
I'm going to help you.

32
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,920
Because then it's like people aren't able to receive.

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:05,680
Well, it's like being like an over-arrogant superhero of sorts, you know, like here I

34
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,320
am, I'm here to help you peasant.

35
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,320
Like you can't like, that's no way showing love.

36
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,160
Part of serving, showing God's love, I think is really huge.

37
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:24,000
Well, we're supposed to be Christ-like and you can see in Mark 10 45, it says for even

38
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,200
the son of man came not to be served, but to serve and to give his life as ransom for

39
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,200
many.

40
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:35,240
So if we are supposed to live Christ-like, we're supposed to be serving others.

41
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,640
So that's, yeah, this is a great topic.

42
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:39,640
Yeah.

43
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:44,840
Um, it is, I was feeling like, you know, after we did humbling, humble, I was like, well,

44
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,480
I think that's a really good one to do.

45
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:55,320
Um, I think, you know, I've got a couple of verses or signed up because I'm waiting and

46
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,880
I was thinking about it.

47
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:03,400
Um, the same way, let your light shine before others and may see your good deeds and glorify

48
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,560
your father in heaven.

49
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,360
After you five 16.

50
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,920
It's like, yeah, that serving people and doing good things.

51
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:17,600
I mean, you get heavenly treasure stored up too, which is another reason to do it, but

52
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,240
it has to be the content of your heart.

53
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,240
Yeah.

54
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,880
People, people in church like, oh yes, I'll go do this.

55
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,160
And they want to like, you know, a lot of people get caught up in like that.

56
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,160
Look at me.

57
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,200
Look, I do this for the church.

58
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,600
I, I do all this.

59
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,000
I'm such a good person.

60
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,320
Pat my back.

61
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,480
Like, and that's the wrong mindset and the wrong hearts.

62
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,640
I think, um, see that a lot.

63
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:49,080
There's always that one, you know, person's like, I don't hate 20% and I do this.

64
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:55,200
And you know, I think, you know, those people that really do serve and like spend their

65
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,960
time and give that, like, you know, the difference and it's genuine.

66
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:04,600
I think it's the key cause the serving God, you have to be genuine when you serve God,

67
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,600
you know, cause we have to seek the kingdom first and his righteousness.

68
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,320
Um, things that were given to you as well.

69
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,960
That's Matthew six 33.

70
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:22,520
Um, just, yeah, I think serving, you know, I think like the washing of the feet, you

71
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,120
know, like who'd you just did that for?

72
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,120
Yep.

73
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:36,560
I actually have like, no, some of that's you have, you have any notes on that?

74
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,720
Yeah.

75
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:44,080
And one of my many, many verses, um, you're, you're right though.

76
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,320
It's that, I mean, it doesn't say it just the one that Mark 10 45 that I said, even

77
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:56,640
in Matthew 20 28, it also refers to son of man did not come to serve to, but to serve.

78
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,640
So, um, the washing of feet was one of the stories that I, like you're saying that I

79
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:13,280
remember very well where he was saying, like, do you see, um, uh, it was John 13 section

80
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:19,360
of that in, I'm pretty sure it's in verse 12 where Jesus actually washed their feet

81
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,520
and put on his outer clothing.

82
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,360
He reclined and then he said to them, do you know what I've done for you?

83
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,060
You call me teacher and Lord and you are speaking rightly since this is what I am.

84
00:05:31,060 --> 00:05:35,600
So if I, your Lord and teacher has washed your feet, you also ought to wash another's

85
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,500
like one another's feet.

86
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:41,520
And I have, uh, for I've given you an example that you should also do as I have done for

87
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,680
you, which we were called to follow Christ and do what he does.

88
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:53,480
And so he's showing that as a servant, like serving others, we are a servant to God and

89
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,560
we do what he commands us and what he shows us. And so we do it too.

90
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:04,280
So it's that, like you said, humbly understanding that we are at the mercy of the Lord and his

91
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:06,000
will and his plan.

92
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,640
And then knowing that us, we are not better or over others, but we're here to serve, to

93
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:18,960
show the serve that Jesus did for others as well through his sacrifices and through what

94
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,480
he wants us to do.

95
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,800
So I mean, at this point you can see like they were, they came back at him and I think

96
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,600
it's in verse 16 where he was like, Oh no, it was Jesus still in 16 where he's like,

97
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,440
I truly, I tell you a servant is not greater than his master.

98
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,660
And a messenger is not greater than the one who sent him.

99
00:06:39,660 --> 00:06:43,800
So if you know these things, you're blessed if you do them.

100
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,120
So that's something really cool that you're, you were talking about.

101
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:53,520
It's just like, yeah, that, that is like, your pride is out the door at that point.

102
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,120
Like there's no such thing as pride.

103
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:01,160
You are before and knowing that you're serving others, even to the point to washing someone's

104
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,160
feet.

105
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,160
Yeah.

106
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,320
There's more context to why it's washing feet.

107
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,160
Like that was something like these guys wore sandals everywhere.

108
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,040
You know how stinky rank these feet were?

109
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,640
Like how often did they bathe?

110
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,620
How often did they wash their feet?

111
00:07:18,620 --> 00:07:25,760
These people were walking for miles and not bathing as much as we do nowadays.

112
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:32,280
I could only imagine because honestly, Oh, coaching gymnastics for close to a decade

113
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:37,600
and you're barefoot, you know, for a good part of the day.

114
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:43,560
And I also, you know, never wearing shoes, period.

115
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,600
You know, whether I was that worker there, my feet, you know, they, you know, they were

116
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,960
pretty, uh, right at the end of the day.

117
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:56,960
And you know, and I, and I showered so, and I still showered and stopped, but I think

118
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:03,760
like, Oh my gosh, I could not imagine like how callous and how disgusting it must've

119
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,760
been like, Oh, right.

120
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:14,440
Like, you know, and then the wash somebody's feet, like that's not like the most cleanliness

121
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:24,840
thing, you know, especially not in those days, you know, picture, picture this, the, the

122
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:32,040
creator of everything, the one who created, who was an is and always will be the one who

123
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:37,320
designed everything to be exactly the way they wanted it to.

124
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:44,800
And the one who is there to save you comes in human form to show himself to us in a human

125
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:51,720
form and to save us from the penalty of death or penalty of sin, which is death and to save

126
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,160
us.

127
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:58,420
He washes, he like, he comes down in human form and the God of everything washes these

128
00:08:58,420 --> 00:09:00,140
guys feet.

129
00:09:00,140 --> 00:09:07,440
Like the concept of that is just so insane because it's like, if you were God and you

130
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,600
created everything, you come to earth and the people you created stink the high heaven

131
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,280
and you're like, yeah, I'm going to get down and get close to these people's feet where

132
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,560
that really stinks.

133
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:20,400
And then I'm going to wash it.

134
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:27,640
Like that's, that's such a serving, like a servant, like I'm here to serve you like this.

135
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,000
You don't understand what's, what's happening.

136
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,680
And it's cool because you even see it with, with Jesus.

137
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:39,400
He was like, in the end of verse 12, he literally is like, do you know what I've done for you?

138
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,960
Like, do you understand this?

139
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:46,920
Like you are calling me Lord of lords, King of Kings, teacher, the master.

140
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,140
You see what I done.

141
00:09:49,140 --> 00:09:51,600
This is what I'm telling you to do.

142
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,360
And you are not greater than someone else.

143
00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:00,160
Even if you know these things and abide by it, you will be blessed.

144
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,960
But that's intense.

145
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,600
That's an intense, that's an intense way to say that.

146
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,360
Just a little bit.

147
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,360
Yeah.

148
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,360
Just a little.

149
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,000
Yeah.

150
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:21,000
I think is it's, it was the ultimate, ultimate.

151
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,500
You know, it comes down, like you said, as man, I don't know, but he served us by going

152
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:28,000
upon the cross.

153
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,520
Just, I think is what, you know, the biggest way you can serve.

154
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,920
He could have served us at all.

155
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,560
You know, he served others by healing and by eating people.

156
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:47,520
You look at him like a Matthew and you know, it's five, I think.

157
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,360
He feeds a thousand, thousands of people.

158
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,200
He does it again.

159
00:10:54,200 --> 00:11:00,840
He served people by teaching them and leading them toward God, then feeding them and healing

160
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,200
them, raising people from the dead.

161
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,700
He served his whole entire ministry.

162
00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:07,760
His life was his whole ministry.

163
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:13,640
And then, you know, even in his death, he's still serving.

164
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,640
That the resurrection.

165
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,640
Yeah.

166
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,320
The resurrection because through the resurrection, through the salvation that we have through

167
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:24,600
Jesus, we are saved because he served us.

168
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:30,280
That's like, you mean the most, the biggest way he could by dying for us, for our sins.

169
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,280
Yeah.

170
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:38,920
I mean, the ultimate sacrifice, ultimate humbling of yourself, you could do is a die to yourself

171
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,640
and to your flesh.

172
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:48,240
Yeah, if you want to read the story of the where Jesus feeds five thousand because with

173
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,360
the five lows and two fish, that's Matthew 14, 13 to 21.

174
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,720
Good, good, good passage there.

175
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,560
Yeah.

176
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:02,840
I have a pulpit for this topic, but I'm going to let you do it.

177
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,640
Pull it up, man.

178
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,120
OK, I'll pull it up a little bit.

179
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:14,680
So if if you I love reading a lot of the New Testament, obviously, I love reading all of

180
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:19,880
it, but I've been reading First Peter, Second Peter and like that section, that area of

181
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,800
the Bible.

182
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,360
And recently I was actually reading First Peter for 10, which First Peter four was the

183
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,200
recent chapter about the verse in there is really important to what you're talking about

184
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,760
your topic.

185
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:37,840
First Peter four 10 says, as each has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good

186
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,640
stewards of God's very grace.

187
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:47,520
And if you don't know, the context here is First Peter four, one through eleven.

188
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,680
It's just urging Christians to take on Jesus attitude towards suffering.

189
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:56,600
It also says that we should see as expected part of fulfilling God's purpose for us on

190
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,520
earth and those willing to endure suffering for Christ, except the course of their lives

191
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,160
from from mind numbing sin, stuff like that.

192
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:12,120
And this is true when when those who still commit those sins, bad mouth them, etc.

193
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:18,280
So with this verse, you can see Peter continues describing how Christians should live in response

194
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:24,400
to the knowledge that the end of all things is near, which you can read in verse seven,

195
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,280
knowing that Christ could return at any time should affect our thinking.

196
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,000
And this is still true to today.

197
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,120
We, as Christians or believers, should not excessively invest ourselves in a world that

198
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,580
is passing away.

199
00:13:38,580 --> 00:13:44,040
We should be not diverting ourselves with whatever pleasures we can find to indulge

200
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,040
in.

201
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,700
Instead, we should be managing our minds from effective or effective praying and love each

202
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:54,040
other deeply, including sharing our homes and food with other Christians in need or

203
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,320
other believers in need.

204
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:03,320
In this verse, Peter says that we should take a very different view from others in the world

205
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,040
about anything we might call ours.

206
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:12,440
First he implies that we must see whatever we have as a gift from God, everything, your

207
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:17,200
life, your money, your wealth, your house, your food, your everything is a gift from

208
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,200
God.

209
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,200
Period.

210
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,640
So after all, we have we have nothing which God has not given up to us.

211
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:31,600
And guess where that says that James one 17 had to bring in James.

212
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,480
But it's always James.

213
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,380
But second, we should see whatever we have been given as an opportunity to serve other

214
00:14:39,380 --> 00:14:42,360
Christians or other believers or other people who need it.

215
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:49,720
In other words, we should not view anything which is ours as off limits for us in serving

216
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,440
others.

217
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,080
And that's that's I think that that's my pulpit.

218
00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:02,800
Basically, it says that, you know, every good thing we have is ours only by God's grace

219
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:08,800
and intended to be used for his purposes and to fail to use God's gifts to us to serve

220
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,120
others is to fail to be a good steward.

221
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:17,320
And using everything we have to serve each other is part of fulfilling our purpose as

222
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,360
God set apart people.

223
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,640
That's my pulpit.

224
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:24,640
That is a good pulpit.

225
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:30,760
It's a good that's right on like, you know, it's right on the on the on the head of the

226
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,760
nail.

227
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,760
No, I just.

228
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,080
Yeah, I don't know why I keep thinking about serving and everything.

229
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:44,760
And now I think it's like it takes a good leader to serve.

230
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:45,760
True.

231
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:53,200
It takes, you know, it's it's it's not always a glamorous aim to serve.

232
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,760
I put it I think about it in sports wise.

233
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:03,520
Like I think of like basketball, I think of the point guard position and the ball they

234
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,680
serve, you know, they pass the ball, they get the assist, they serve it up.

235
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,880
You know, I that's what I think about.

236
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,880
I think, you know, there's a lot of things.

237
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,560
I think I always currently, you know, court court the Nate Courtney.

238
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,560
Yeah.

239
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,840
Gosh, things with sports, I think a lot.

240
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,760
I think like when I play basketball, I think of like when I play with my buddy, Jalen,

241
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:26,760
right?

242
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,760
He likes to dish me the ball inside.

243
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,280
You know, I'll dish it to him out.

244
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,440
Like if you serve one another, it also helps.

245
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,640
Maybe the load and it can bring.

246
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:43,000
You know, bring the best out of somebody to because that, you know, that whole pay it

247
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,000
forward.

248
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:51,920
Oh, like, oh, let me help serve somebody else and let me pay for this person ahead of me

249
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:52,920
behind me.

250
00:16:52,920 --> 00:17:00,080
You know, I feel like that's something that culture sees it and like, oh, that's a nice

251
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,080
thing to do.

252
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:09,360
You know, anybody who doesn't, you know, certainly know God see that they're like, well, that's

253
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:11,120
that's really cool.

254
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:15,000
That's so nice that people would do that for us is going like, no, that's what we're called

255
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,000
to do.

256
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,880
I think necessarily we don't necessarily get we don't get.

257
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,480
I don't think that enough.

258
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,960
Like oh, yeah, I can do that later.

259
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:35,520
I think you like the ladies at church right now we're trying to move into our our our

260
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:36,520
old youth room.

261
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:43,840
Jason is the kids new youth room because it has to be fixed up because upstairs one.

262
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,840
Yeah.

263
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:45,840
Oh, yeah.

264
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,720
We're meeting in the old like meeting room because we because the windows have to get

265
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:51,720
fixed.

266
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,920
There's nails in the walls like the pastor's wife is in there like getting these nails

267
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,440
out of the wall.

268
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:04,500
Like fixing that like, you know, I'm not just to brag on her because like she's serving

269
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:06,960
her church.

270
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,760
She's serving like as her kids are part of that youth, like people that go out of their

271
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,080
way and to serve.

272
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,200
It's so cool because I'm like, I know that there's people like, you know, I should be

273
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,200
out there helping more and doing stuff, you know.

274
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,920
I've been a little busy with the whole, you know, wedding planning that had to go on and

275
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,480
be done and everything.

276
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,000
So I hope she understands that listening.

277
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,200
I for this and Chrissy, it's awesome.

278
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,920
We'll be getting there sometime soon because like there she sees, you know, I serve the

279
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,100
youth.

280
00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:47,040
That's what I can do.

281
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,440
That's where I shine the most.

282
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,800
But other people serve in some other ways, whether it's through different ministries

283
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,320
and starts, but like little things that go behind the scenes that help people.

284
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:03,520
I think that's huge because those type of actions that speak louder.

285
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:10,600
You know, people have like, I know this one, one, one person, a friend who wanted to bless

286
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,360
like, uh, our family with a computer.

287
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:19,280
He went and used his own money to bless our family with the computer because we needed

288
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,280
wine.

289
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,040
I'm working at home and all that stuff.

290
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,040
It's not working.

291
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,680
And then winning got one.

292
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,120
It seems like that word.

293
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:31,320
It's like, it's not because you're like, oh yeah, it's all about me, but it's like, let

294
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:32,320
me help.

295
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:39,400
I think that's as a huge, just the biggest thing serving just it's the heart.

296
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:40,920
It just, it's all I can keep being.

297
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,000
What is the heart?

298
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,000
It's a matter of the heart.

299
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,200
I can keep saying it a lot because it is like, you can sit.

300
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,200
I sit there.

301
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:55,280
Like I think of like, you know, you can see the people on TV, the big, all my media pastors

302
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,560
and stuff like that.

303
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:02,080
Like, you know, like, oh, and you have to serve, you have to give, we need your money

304
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,280
donate and everything.

305
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:10,160
I'm going like, people, that's my biggest thing I have a problem with.

306
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:18,320
With churches that are like, have, have a little mini sermon.

307
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,520
You need to donate, you need to serve and give us your money.

308
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,840
I'm like, well, you know what?

309
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,000
Not everybody has money to give.

310
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,760
You know, some people, they might've had to use their whole paycheck to just to pay rent

311
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,640
and to survive.

312
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,120
They don't have the 10% to give.

313
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:41,120
That's the case.

314
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:43,080
They have their time.

315
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,560
They can give, they're able to serve in other ways.

316
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,760
And I've been told that by a pastor that will know the, you know, have to give percent.

317
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,560
I'm like, okay, what is it?

318
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,920
What about the mom that's got four kids?

319
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,160
No, that's doing on her own or something.

320
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:07,800
Like, like, no, that mom needs to be taken care of by the church.

321
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,960
She can donate by helping out, you know, with children's ministry.

322
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,200
Maybe she needs to help getting on her feet.

323
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,640
How are we to say that?

324
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,760
You're not doing it right.

325
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:23,280
If you can't give, everybody has that financial responsibility.

326
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:30,160
Our has that ability to, you know, if you are then good.

327
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,280
Serve your church, bless somebody.

328
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,320
You know, 10% of your time or, you know, whatever you have.

329
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,680
That's my personal belief.

330
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,400
I disagree with it.

331
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:41,400
That's cool.

332
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:47,600
I got stuff to back you up.

333
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,600
So if you don't know, if you go to our website, gospel truth project.com, you go to blogs,

334
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:52,600
there's one there.

335
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,480
It says tithing, tithing for the modern day Christian.

336
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,500
Now that blog, I highly recommend reading it because Dylan, you're, you're touching

337
00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:04,320
on more of the tithing, giving your time back to God kind of thing.

338
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:11,880
And though how in depth that blog post is, I highly recommend going and reading that

339
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:17,080
and we will do an episode dedicated to tithing.

340
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,720
But I will, I will agree that there, there's a place to where in the Bible, it's really

341
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,000
consistent that we give with a cheerful heart.

342
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,280
Second Corinthians nine seven says that we give with a cheerful heart because God's a

343
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,640
cheerful giver.

344
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:41,760
Last 2035, it says that we, it's more to bless than to be blessed.

345
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:47,760
I think it's Luke six 38, which talks about for the measure you use, it will be measured

346
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,440
back to you like that kind of stuff.

347
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,320
And then other people, I've had this question before because of it.

348
00:22:53,320 --> 00:23:01,720
They're like, Hey, so if, you know, I don't, I'm not cheerful about giving like then if

349
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:07,680
you're giving to just get praise from people, if you're giving to just receive the, Oh,

350
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,680
he's doing nice thing.

351
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:15,120
I will use a Bible insult and say you're a perverse and rebellious woman because that

352
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:17,440
is an insult from the Bible first Samuel.

353
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:24,360
But no, I also, sorry, don't mean to cut you off, but I was thinking about an ax.

354
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:26,120
I want to say it's around 10.

355
00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:29,200
It might be nine or eight.

356
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:34,840
The husband and wife in the early church, like, did you give everything to us or called

357
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:41,320
the give everything and join the first church basically.

358
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,160
And they're like, that's what comes in.

359
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:50,840
We did, even though they took a good, you know, some of the money and they hit it and

360
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,760
they got struck him down dead.

361
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,080
His wife comes in like 10 minutes.

362
00:23:55,080 --> 00:24:00,000
They're like, Hey, he's like, have you seen my husband is like, Hey, did you guys give

363
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,120
everything?

364
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:08,440
And she's like, of course she's stricken down dead too, right there.

365
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:13,080
Like people use that and like, yeah, you know, I'm talking about right.

366
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,080
Ax 12.

367
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,080
You're talking about 12.

368
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,080
I knew it was around 10.

369
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,840
Just tied on it like a couple of weeks ago.

370
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:23,800
I'm like, um, cause I think that says a lot too, but see it once again, like their heart

371
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,040
was no, we need to have a fallback.

372
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,760
They're not fully trusting God and serving.

373
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,000
Right for people to try to use that as a combatant to like what I'm saying.

374
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,360
I'm like, yes, I understand.

375
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:41,920
But like, see they were well wealthy and they were trying to keep some of their wealth.

376
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,360
Cause like, no, no, no.

377
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:46,920
Why would I, you know, I don't want to give all my money to God.

378
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,860
Cause what if something happens, this doesn't work out.

379
00:24:48,860 --> 00:24:51,160
It's like, no, you have to give a hundred percent.

380
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,600
I think that's also like speaks in your relationship with Jesus.

381
00:24:54,600 --> 00:25:02,560
You have to give your whole, you have to serve him fully with all of your heart, all of your

382
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:03,560
mind, all of your soul.

383
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,600
Because if you don't, like you're just, you're just half button it.

384
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,360
You just, you're not even trying.

385
00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:11,080
It'll be hotter, be colder.

386
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,560
We spit out into the flames.

387
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,160
I mean, what exactly did I just go over?

388
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,760
I mean, that's part of it, right?

389
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:23,520
It's the whole idea that, that everything, your mentality is wrong.

390
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:31,120
Your mentality should be that everything given to you is from God.

391
00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:35,760
And the crazy thing is, is that people don't understand when you accept Christ, you're

392
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,160
given the Holy Spirit and that's not the end of it.

393
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,600
The Holy Spirit changes you, transforms you.

394
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:48,160
Psalm Corinthians 5 17 says the old has passed away and behold the new has come.

395
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:53,040
And it's talking about if you as a Christian in Christ is a new creation.

396
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,360
You have Romans 12, 1 through 21, read that whole section.

397
00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:58,000
It talks about that kind of stuff.

398
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:04,080
Romans 12 2, Psalms 51 10 says that I created me a new heart.

399
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,080
Hebrews 4 14.

400
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,740
Then there's verse at the verse at the verse that says that you are transformed with the

401
00:26:10,740 --> 00:26:14,480
renewing of your mind and the renewing of your heart and your soul.

402
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,480
And that every single thing, like I said before, every single little thing that you have as

403
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:24,400
a, as everything you understand, change your mentality, that everything you have is a gift

404
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:25,400
from God.

405
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:30,120
And if you change that mentality, then it's really easy to give up stuff for God because

406
00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:32,000
it's not yours.

407
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,160
Everything that is yours is his and acting like that changes everything.

408
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,760
Because when you start giving to God, it says he'll bless you for it and you start showing

409
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,760
it and letting that go.

410
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,920
It's blessings come back and it's true.

411
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,360
And I'm not going to sit here and brag.

412
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:53,160
I'm not going to share any of the stories that I have about the stuff because I rather

413
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,260
keep it quiet because it's worth keeping quiet.

414
00:26:56,260 --> 00:27:02,280
But in the long run, I've seen it where I've given and I've, I've shared with people and

415
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:09,480
I've, I've done things that are using what I had or barely had to bless others because

416
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,320
God was calling me to do it.

417
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,000
And I've seen it come back.

418
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,580
And that's the cool thing is I've seen it come back and some things I'm still waiting

419
00:27:17,580 --> 00:27:19,280
for a comeback and that's okay.

420
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,440
And his time in that mind.

421
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,060
And that is really important to understand a serving heart.

422
00:27:25,060 --> 00:27:26,240
You live to serve.

423
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:31,280
You're not living to, to occasionally serve when you see fit.

424
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,400
It's not your life.

425
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:33,440
It's not your stuff.

426
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,400
It's not your, your wants, your desires.

427
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:42,600
It's God's that's sacrificing yourself for him to show him you have the ultimate love

428
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:48,800
for him and that you really are dedicated to who he is.

429
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:49,800
Another pulpit, my bad.

430
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:50,800
Good.

431
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,000
You know, Hey, those little pulpits, I think you're, you know what we need sometimes.

432
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,680
I'm just sitting here thinking, you know, like I forget when it was.

433
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,840
I, it was a couple of years back.

434
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:09,800
Um, I was at the, when I was at the, uh, the Samoan church, the full gospel Tabernacle

435
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,160
church.

436
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:17,920
I remember, you know, we're, Pastor J.R. was talking about serving and, and receiving

437
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,240
blessings too.

438
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,640
And it's like, you know, you at the, you know, if you want to receive a blessing from God,

439
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,560
ask for it, pray for it.

440
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,640
And if you follow him, you know, he, he'll bless you.

441
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:37,560
You ask, he may give you yes or no for him, you know, asking like, Hey, anybody here want

442
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,000
a blessing?

443
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,080
Nobody in the whole church raised their hand.

444
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,440
When like, nobody wants them.

445
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,040
I'm like, okay, raised my hand.

446
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,720
I shot it up and like, I'll take it.

447
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,000
If nobody wants it, I'll take it.

448
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,360
Like, I believe that he can do it.

449
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,160
You know, you have to have, you know, I serve him.

450
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,160
He wants to bless me.

451
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,160
He bless me.

452
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,800
And then next week at work, I got a hundred dollar tip.

453
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,960
I was like, thank you.

454
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:09,000
I was, I was fooling my stepping out and really ready to serve him.

455
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,400
And then, you know, I feel like, and you know, cause the thing is I actually talked to the

456
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:19,920
people at there where I was working for the birthday party that was working and talking

457
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:20,920
to them.

458
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,600
They're like, Oh yeah, I'm like, yeah, actually I, you know, I'm a pastor and like, you know,

459
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,640
I just, like, you're so good with kids and I said, well, that's my, I want to, you know,

460
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,760
that's where I'm called serve and do that.

461
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,240
Uh, you know, I, you know, Jesus, God is giving me the ability.

462
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,960
Like, Oh my gosh, you're a Christian that explains so much.

463
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,440
We're, you know, we love God, God fearing people.

464
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,720
They actually have him hit me late, pray for the food.

465
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,880
He's like, Oh my, this is the coolest party ever.

466
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:51,880
Okay, cool.

467
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,280
Like, you know, like you want your, the coach to pray for the food and stuff.

468
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,840
So I mean, so that just having the heart to serve and then God will bless you too.

469
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:05,160
That's the thing is that, you know, and, but it's in his time, so you can't expect it.

470
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,600
Like I want it right now.

471
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,160
There's mine right now.

472
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:13,760
Sometimes, you know, it's like, well, you have to wait, Jason.

473
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,240
Okay.

474
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,320
No.

475
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:24,280
As, um, this reminds me actually Galatians, uh, in Galatians five verse 13, Galatians

476
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:29,880
five 13, it says, um, for you were called to be free brothers and sisters only don't

477
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:35,880
use this freedom as an opportunity for flesh, but serve one another through love.

478
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:40,360
So the cool thing is, is that with Galatians five, uh, if you don't know, if you haven't

479
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:45,480
read it, the context for Galatians five, uh, context for Galatians five is actually verse

480
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:46,880
one through 15.

481
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:52,080
Um, if you haven't read it, I recommend reading it because it says it focuses on what those

482
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,840
in Christ should do with their freedom in Christ.

483
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,680
First we must guard it.

484
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:02,320
And then especially for those who would pressure us to follow the law instead, Paul was confident

485
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:07,200
for the Galatians would resist the one leading them in the wrong direction and, um, not to

486
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:14,900
waste our freedom in Christ to selfishly serve ourselves instead serve others in love.

487
00:31:14,900 --> 00:31:20,180
So the, if you want to, I highly recommend reading that section because it's really important

488
00:31:20,180 --> 00:31:24,400
to understand that we are freeing Christ and that freedom.

489
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,960
We understand what is, what we should do and what we shouldn't.

490
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,960
And so that's kind of what the benefit to that freedom is.

491
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,440
So, yeah, no, that's good.

492
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,160
No little pulpit right there, but that's exactly what we need.

493
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,160
Um, yeah.

494
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:46,160
I mean, see, you go on those teams and tell them like, man, I don't know what to say right

495
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,160
now.

496
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:54,840
I'm like, um, uh, cause then, you know, somebody, you said Paul, they're like, oh, he got me

497
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:59,400
by venomous snake and lived like that is true.

498
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:04,720
It's, it's, it's crazy to start getting into like the miracles of the Bible and what it

499
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:12,480
talks about, which we'll, we will have to do an episode on miracles and, uh, that dibs

500
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:13,840
I call dibs on miracles.

501
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,440
I'm going to host that one.

502
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,040
I'm going to put it on your list.

503
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,320
You also volunteered.

504
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,840
You also volunteered the host the episode called Dylan sarcasm.

505
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:29,240
I have no idea what you're talking about.

506
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,640
I'm putting that on the calendar.

507
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,640
Oh, great.

508
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:39,800
Um, dang.

509
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:48,320
And honestly, it's, man, uh, but just thinking about serving man serving is like, I think

510
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,600
a lot of it too is like the, I just think, I think I'm passionate for it.

511
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:57,520
Like I think about like the missionary work I've gotten to do stuff like that.

512
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:04,880
That's not, not to be like, Oh, look at me, I've done this and I'm bragging about it,

513
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:10,560
but it's like, it's truly, if you have not had the opportunity to go serve somewhere

514
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:18,920
outside of your community, like saying it has to be a whole different country, um, really

515
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,720
get to go outside of your comfort zone.

516
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:28,360
You're like, okay, I have to rely on God.

517
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:35,560
You have to just serve, like this and just serve him is, and you, I know you, did you

518
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,000
have, you want the hope to do the Hopi tribe, right?

519
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Oh yeah.

520
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Multiple times.

521
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:46,840
So like, you know, it's going like the different language, different culture, you know, my

522
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,280
Spanish is my model.

523
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:56,520
It's, it's understand some, I know I'm being yelled at, you know, in order to me, I can

524
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,320
order up my food very well.

525
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,160
Order the food.

526
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:07,000
Anything me with your last name being Spanish and being Mexican, you'd be, I'd be a little

527
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,720
better at it, but it's okay.

528
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:09,720
It's fine.

529
00:34:09,720 --> 00:34:13,400
Um, I can tell I'm pretty whitewashed.

530
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,680
Um, it was Jason.

531
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:17,680
So it's okay.

532
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:18,680
It's fine.

533
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,360
It's just the way we came.

534
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,360
It's all good.

535
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:30,040
Um, I think just to serve and have that opportunity to go out, go somewhere you're not comfortable

536
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,040
with.

537
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:38,680
Like it's huge because the serve there, it's just, you have to rely and you have to humble

538
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:39,680
yourself.

539
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:44,480
You have to be willing to be a servant and just listen to a God's calling you to serve.

540
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:49,080
Instead of just trying to make it your own call, you're really just, there were God's

541
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,440
saying to do, you just gotta go do it.

542
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,440
Yep.

543
00:34:53,440 --> 00:35:02,920
Like, like we said, Matthew 20 verse 28, that section 25 to 28, but talks about how, you

544
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:08,080
know, your master, you're not over the master messenger is not over the message, like that

545
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,440
kind of stuff.

546
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:17,400
And verse 23, 11, Jesus reiterates that he reclaimed it in a very short verse so that

547
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,800
there's no mistakes about it.

548
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:28,680
He said, the greatest among you shall be your servant, which is awesome because people are

549
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,460
like, well, that's confusing because he's like, stop being confused.

550
00:35:32,460 --> 00:35:33,460
This is what it is.

551
00:35:33,460 --> 00:35:37,660
Like you are the live to serve.

552
00:35:37,660 --> 00:35:39,640
It's not confusing.

553
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:40,640
Serve.

554
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:45,920
Oh, it's that one worship song.

555
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,520
To be served by you.

556
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,520
Uh, it's a worship song?

557
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:53,520
Come on, mister.

558
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:58,960
I play 35,000 instruments and know how to sing and all that.

559
00:35:58,960 --> 00:35:59,960
Be served by you.

560
00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:00,960
Oh my gosh.

561
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:01,960
It's gonna be a second in my head.

562
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:07,160
I think of it as soon as we're done recording and I'm going to be like, oh, that's what

563
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,160
it was.

564
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:17,520
Sir, like, uh, is it like we'll serve the Lord or no, to be served by you.

565
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:23,200
The be served by you and it goes, whoa, something like that.

566
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:24,880
What worship song does it have?

567
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:32,040
They break down like, yeah, every Curtis Chapman song ever imagined.

568
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:37,640
They always do that though thing with it, you know, they go like the hallelujah.

569
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:38,640
They're like, oh yeah.

570
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:39,640
Yeah.

571
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:40,640
Sorry.

572
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:45,400
You already just had to hear me sing a little bit.

573
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:46,400
That's rough.

574
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:47,400
Oh no.

575
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:48,400
What's this?

576
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,680
Oh, I see listeners just declined.

577
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:52,680
It's deadlining.

578
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:53,680
No.

579
00:36:53,680 --> 00:37:01,160
Um, there's a reason I'm a youth pastor and not a worship pastor.

580
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:08,560
I, I, I was on the worship team for a long time and any worship song that says that,

581
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:14,800
so it's like worship songs are only supposed to be like to God, not, Hey, you did something

582
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:15,800
for me.

583
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:16,800
Forget that.

584
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:22,840
Like I hate that stuff because it's like worship means to glorify them and only them.

585
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,160
Like don't bring me into it.

586
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,400
Cause it's not about me.

587
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,320
This is about serving God.

588
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,400
Worship would be a really good one to do too.

589
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:33,760
I should have done that.

590
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,520
I'll change my calendar up a little bit.

591
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:36,520
I got some ideas.

592
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,760
It's never locked in this.

593
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:39,760
Be honest.

594
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:40,760
It's like, Oh, ideas.

595
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:41,760
It's a draft.

596
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:48,760
It's always a rough draft until we record the episode and it's like, yep, this is, here

597
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:49,760
it is.

598
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:50,760
Oh man.

599
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,080
Mark, uh, Mark nine.

600
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,240
I just remembered, uh, Mark chapter nine.

601
00:37:57,240 --> 00:38:01,640
It's talk like it's about, if you haven't read it, it's, uh, it contains the account

602
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,640
of Jesus transfiguration and stuff like that.

603
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,160
Three disciples witness them.

604
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:12,000
So that's a good point because at verse, uh, 35, if I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure

605
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,020
you can always check me on that one.

606
00:38:14,020 --> 00:38:19,960
Mark nine 35, it should say sitting down, Jesus called the 12 and said, anyone who wants

607
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:26,200
to be first must be the very last and the servant of all.

608
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:32,040
And obviously Jesus is, uh, if you don't know the first, that word first is from a Greek

609
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,840
root, uh, Greek root word, Protos.

610
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:40,600
Um, it means first and influence, honor, rank in everything.

611
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:47,680
So it means that the chief of the disciples servant is from the Greek root word, uh, diakonos,

612
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:52,260
um, which simply means one who acts on the desire of another, which is going back to

613
00:38:52,260 --> 00:38:56,560
the humility of last year, last episode, not last year, last episode.

614
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:03,240
Um, so it's, it's something really important to understand is that when it's talking to

615
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:07,520
serve others, it's like they're, they're more important.

616
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:12,360
Like you're serving them in the sense that they, that that's more important.

617
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:18,640
So, um, I definitely feel I have failed on this and I, and I do fail on this occasionally

618
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:25,560
because you know, I, I, I sometimes think of myself very highly, which is an issue because

619
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:32,000
it's prideful and that gets in a way of humility and being able to serve others and, uh, do

620
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:37,440
things as if someone else's wants and desires and what they want to do is more important

621
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:38,440
than my own.

622
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,680
So you're saying you'd like humble yourself.

623
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:41,680
Yeah.

624
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:47,320
Going right back to last week's episode, I still didn't learn it.

625
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,360
Apparently there's little things I noticed that I do because of that.

626
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:55,600
I was like, man, I really need to work on this more, which obviously is good because

627
00:39:55,600 --> 00:40:02,360
that that is showing, uh, like, uh, I saw a pastor, he said, the closer you get to God,

628
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,920
the more sinful your life looks.

629
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,660
And that was part of it.

630
00:40:07,660 --> 00:40:11,800
It was just understanding that as I get closer to God, understanding him, the more I realized,

631
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,000
man, I really need to work on my, my crap and kind of get this together a little bit

632
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,400
better.

633
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:26,360
So, yeah, like, um, you need to do is it sounds like you need to go send episode one of season

634
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:34,040
two again and you need to, you know, either on Spotify, Apple, you know, whatever it is,

635
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,160
is it our podcast?

636
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,160
That's what they have.

637
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:41,440
Podcast Spotify, I heart radio, all that stuff.

638
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,040
Go listen to it again, Jason.

639
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,680
Oh, you were there for the recording because I was also there.

640
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:50,120
Um, but yeah, maybe.

641
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:51,680
Oh, yeah.

642
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,440
Oh, okay.

643
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,680
So I'll also hold myself on this and tune again.

644
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:01,960
Um, dude, we're, if anybody doesn't know we're on, if you, if you really have a hard time

645
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:06,640
listening to this podcast, we're on Apple, Spotify, Google podcasts, Amazon music, Pandora

646
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,440

00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:11,440
We're there.

648
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,840
So if you have a hard time listening here, wherever you're listening at, there's a plenty.

649
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,080
Oh, and YouTube forgot YouTube.

650
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,080
YouTube.

651
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:25,680
I was like, how could you forget the YouTube's and you get a little photo, the little I forgot

652
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:26,680
the YouTube's.

653
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:27,680
Yeah.

654
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,760
You get the photo of whatever, because like I said, season two, we have like the actual

655
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:36,920
like photo graphic for each episode now, which is a lot of work, but it's worth it.

656
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:37,920
So good.

657
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:38,920
Jason, Jason.

658
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,880
That's a great job.

659
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:48,440
You know, by serving me, serving God, you know, doing that.

660
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:53,520
Well, you, you, you serve God, but you also help do things where serves me in order to

661
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:54,520
do this.

662
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:55,520
And the team.

663
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:56,520
I, I, okay.

664
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:03,440
I know this is off topic, but just because I kind of wanted to share because it's really

665
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:04,440
cool.

666
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,520
Uh, and we said it before the most popular episode we had was what is the church?

667
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,560
It was the most popular episode.

668
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:17,920
Number one most popular episode now is the intro episode one, which means a lot of people

669
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,640
are actually starting to tune into what we've, they start from the beginning because it's

670
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,620
a podcast, right?

671
00:42:24,620 --> 00:42:29,440
And then the second most popular just passed up the church episode, which is what is Bible

672
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:36,560
deconstruction that just passed up as the number two most watched or listened to in

673
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:37,560
general.

674
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:42,320
So, um, it's interesting to see which episodes are like reigned supreme for the longest time

675
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:43,880
and then how it changes.

676
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:48,880
And, um, yeah, it's, it's kind of crazy.

677
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,920
Episode one was like, we were just getting together, trying to figure out what we're

678
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,760
doing compared to what we do now.

679
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:55,760
It was in Mexico.

680
00:42:55,760 --> 00:43:00,880
Like you were in Mexico years ago or something like that.

681
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:01,880
Like, yeah.

682
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,880
Did you record a podcast?

683
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,120
I'm like, dude, that's do it.

684
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:07,720
December 2nd, 2022.

685
00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:09,920
And you're like, well, what are you doing?

686
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:18,560
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, October, I be mute on accident and moody myself.

687
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,800
I'm like, yeah, I'm like, what are you free?

688
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:28,600
I'm like, well, I landed in Mexico around like three.

689
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,040
Yeah.

690
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,240
Now I became like an hour ahead of you.

691
00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:36,280
There's like two hours ahead where we were, whatever.

692
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:37,280
Yeah.

693
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:38,280
I'll read the same time.

694
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,960
I was like, I forget, but I was like, sure.

695
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:41,960
Let's record.

696
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,040
I had like some earphones.

697
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,840
I just plugged into my phone and I'm like, okay, cool.

698
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,040
I'm like recorders for coordinate.

699
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,040
Yeah.

700
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:57,480
And, oh, and then I'm like, oh, just use my galaxy buds and keep recording with my earphones.

701
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,720
And I listened to season one over again.

702
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:03,760
I was like, oh gosh, no.

703
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,560
Anybody who's gone through.

704
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,360
Isn't one and listen to it.

705
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:13,520
I'm just saying like, God bless you because like microphone was not the greatest on my

706
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:14,520
end.

707
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,280
Hopefully the new microphone, it's better.

708
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:19,960
Oh yeah.

709
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,640
Oh yeah.

710
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:29,280
Talk about really having a servant's heart, a servant to listen to that with the mic.

711
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,240
Um, God provides.

712
00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:37,280
So yeah, it's a, it's a, it's a kind of crazy.

713
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:38,480
I just thought that was interesting.

714
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:44,920
I was like our number one episode, it just got bumped down over this last week and oh,

715
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,040
I am wrong.

716
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,160
They just changed this too.

717
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:50,160
Whoa.

718
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:51,160
You're wrong.

719
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:55,040
No, the intro store number one, but prosperity gospel.

720
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,040
What is it?

721
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,040
Is number two now.

722
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,200
It just updated salvation.

723
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:00,200
What does it mean?

724
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:07,440
Is number three now number four is let's talk about sin.

725
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,800
And then we got number five is Bible deconstruction.

726
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:11,800
Nope.

727
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,800
Number five is theories, ideas and Christian ease.

728
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:14,800
Oh my,

729
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:22,080
Oh, somebody's like, I don't even remember some of them now, to be honest, like really

730
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,120
five episodes in them.

731
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:25,120
Like, oh, that's right.

732
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,120
How are we going to talk about that?

733
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:32,680
Yeah, because we're talking about our new, you know, season two, what we're going to

734
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:33,680
do.

735
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,160
Oh, we already talked about that.

736
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,160
Didn't we?

737
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,400
I'm like, Oh, like I need to actually look and plan.

738
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:47,480
So our least popular episode from season one was, uh, I mean outside of season finale,

739
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:55,680
cause it's been out the least, um, that is, oh shoot.

740
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:59,560
Does Jesus claim to be God?

741
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:00,560
Wow.

742
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:01,560
That's our least.

743
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,560
Which is kind of sad.

744
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,680
He does claim to be God.

745
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:09,680
He does.

746
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:10,680
You know what?

747
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,680
Try to make that, try to make that number one.

748
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,640
That's what we should try to shoot for.

749
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:22,240
I think, I think it might be so low on the list just because a lot of our listeners are

750
00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:29,760
our true Christian followers, most of them, like majority of them are like church outreach,

751
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:30,760
et cetera.

752
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:35,800
So it's like, yeah, they'll look at that and be like, we know that he does.

753
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:42,320
Like what you guys need to do, what we're silly, what he's saying is you need to share

754
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,800
that with your non Christian friends.

755
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:54,240
They can hear two annoying dudes talk about, no, that's for all the Mormons out there,

756
00:46:54,240 --> 00:46:58,680
the Muslims out there and the public witnesses out there.

757
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:00,160
That's what that episode's for.

758
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:01,160
Yeah.

759
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:05,920
Share it with somebody who maybe is, you know, questioning things too, but you know, we don't

760
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:06,920
need to keep plugging.

761
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:07,920
I don't know.

762
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,000
We're, yeah, we, I, sorry.

763
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,760
We took a little short window there.

764
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,080
He did talk about stuff and that's okay.

765
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:18,400
No, like just, you know, we think we just want to be, you know, it's a good little put

766
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:25,400
in here and I like a little thank you for giving up an hour of your time, whether it's,

767
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:32,840
you know, every week or every so often just to listen to us and support what we do serve

768
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:38,280
you and to be blessed is I'm not going to lie when we see people are viewing it, we're

769
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,800
like, Oh, I get a text right away from Jason.

770
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,000
Like, yo, check this out.

771
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,520
It really, we appreciate you guys so much.

772
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:50,640
If you guys are new to listening to it, thank you for giving us a shot.

773
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,400
Um, where have you been?

774
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:53,400
Appreciate it.

775
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,680
Like, you know, we're, we're doing this, we, we, we do this because we want to, we want

776
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,080
to, you know, serve people.

777
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:04,040
We want people to hear the good news and, you know, our tenders are never to offend

778
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,880
anybody just to vocalize our point.

779
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:11,920
Um, if it offends you, sorry.

780
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,840
Not even our point, not even our point.

781
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,240
It's, it's the Bible.

782
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:17,240
We're reading the Bible.

783
00:48:17,240 --> 00:48:24,360
If we represent Christ and we are Christ like, no, it ain't my opinion.

784
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:25,880
No, it's God's.

785
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,240
We're just, we're just the figureheads are, you know what I mean?

786
00:48:29,240 --> 00:48:30,240
Yeah.

787
00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:31,240
Just the mouthpieces.

788
00:48:31,240 --> 00:48:32,240
Yep.

789
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:33,240
Yeah.

790
00:48:33,240 --> 00:48:34,240
I agree that.

791
00:48:34,240 --> 00:48:35,240
Yeah.

792
00:48:35,240 --> 00:48:38,140
I was just more like saying like when it comes to the Bible, it's like, we are not trying

793
00:48:38,140 --> 00:48:40,660
to tell you, this is our opinion.

794
00:48:40,660 --> 00:48:42,320
This is what this is.

795
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:47,120
We're taking topics and talking about these subjects that people might have questions

796
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:52,040
about taking those questions and saying, well, let's see what the Bible says about them.

797
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:53,040
Read the word.

798
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,720
And that's what we do.

799
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:55,720
Yeah.

800
00:48:55,720 --> 00:49:10,160
What Jason said, um, what Dylan said, well, I mean, yeah, I just can't, you know, the,

801
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:18,560
the thing I was like, I'm not serving is, you know, women serve your husbands and, uh,

802
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:23,800
yeah, no, I'm just joking.

803
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:24,800
There's two.

804
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,800
We've talked about it before.

805
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:32,600
This boy, listen, more that goes into it.

806
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:41,520
It also says in women, uh, women, if your husband and men, if they don't like that,

807
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:42,800
I'm just joking.

808
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,680
No, it says that men, it's your wives.

809
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,480
Like God treats the church.

810
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:48,920
He serves us.

811
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,140
So you serve your wife as your wife serves you.

812
00:49:52,140 --> 00:49:54,640
You serve each other as a team.

813
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:55,640
As a team.

814
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:56,640
Yes.

815
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:57,640
Yes.

816
00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:58,640
Yes.

817
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:05,160
And I'm going to do a whole episode on relationships, my man, because it's really easy to be like

818
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:09,400
so many teachers out there nowadays are like, I'm the head of the house.

819
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:10,880
So I make decisions.

820
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,880
My wife has to suck it up.

821
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:17,400
And it's like, well, I mean, sure.

822
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,920
I'm only, I'm only a little bit into this marriage thing.

823
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:21,920
I'll tell you now.

824
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,440
That's not how it works.

825
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:29,720
I've been doing this for seven, eight years now, shoot.

826
00:50:29,720 --> 00:50:35,800
I'm saying you should know how many years, Jason, 27, seven.

827
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:36,800
Yeah.

828
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,720
Seven years.

829
00:50:39,720 --> 00:50:43,880
But it's, it's still, I had to think about it.

830
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:48,520
It's been what it's been a bit, but it still comes down to like, I'm not perfect.

831
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:49,520
And I know I'm not perfect.

832
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,040
I suck at a lot of times when it comes to my marriage and I fail.

833
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,780
And that's, that will happen.

834
00:50:54,780 --> 00:50:59,360
And that just is me owning up to it in humility is saying like, I messed up because I did

835
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,200
not do what I needed to do.

836
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:07,600
But there, there's a really strong definition about roles of a man and a woman in a marriage

837
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,000
because of the same side of the coin.

838
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,800
And I said same side of the coin because you are one thing.

839
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:15,800
You are one.

840
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:20,080
It's then, and people like to say, say Bible says that I get to do whatever the frick I

841
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,280
want to my woman or I have to tell her what to do.

842
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:28,240
And it's like nowhere in the Bible does it say men command your woman.

843
00:51:28,240 --> 00:51:29,240
And it doesn't.

844
00:51:29,240 --> 00:51:32,720
And when the Bible talks about relationships, sorry, I'm not going to go on this tangent,

845
00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:38,840
but long story short is do, we'll have to do, we'll have to do a whole episode on it

846
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,840
talking about it because it is a very crucial thing.

847
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,120
Relationships and marriage.

848
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:45,280
Yeah.

849
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:46,680
And serving each other.

850
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:52,040
Like because we're on the topic of serving, it's a serving, it's a mutual serve because

851
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:53,160
you're both one body.

852
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,000
Now that's not like two separate people trying to live life.

853
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:01,680
Like what the world says, marriage is biblical marriage is like you are united.

854
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:02,840
You are one.

855
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:03,840
There's no more.

856
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:08,240
If you and me, it's we, it's you guys are together as a unit.

857
00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:10,640
So you guys don't keep stuff from each other.

858
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,560
You don't hold stuff back from each other.

859
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,240
And you definitely do not do stuff behind each other's backs.

860
00:52:16,240 --> 00:52:18,280
You work together as one.

861
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:26,240
You have roles within that oneness to amplify and to make the unit work stronger, but you

862
00:52:26,240 --> 00:52:27,440
serve each other.

863
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:31,120
So that's how I tie it into the serving and we'll have to do a whole episode on it because

864
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:36,120
I have really strong opinions about it on what the Bible says about it.

865
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,520
Because, you know, it's passion.

866
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,440
It's there and something that's important to both of us.

867
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:44,440
Yes.

868
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:45,520
Yeah.

869
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,040
I think we're ready to wrap it up, huh?

870
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:49,040
Yeah.

871
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,080
I mean, this is a little more final point.

872
00:52:52,080 --> 00:53:03,760
The only if I if I have a final point, I'll say conclusion we see in the Bible without

873
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:09,840
a shadow of a doubt that Jesus came to serve and has called us to be like him.

874
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:14,880
Jesus wants us to serve others as if they are more important than us and that he will

875
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:20,720
bless us for it because not because we are required to, not because we are told to do

876
00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:25,040
it, but because we are cheerfully doing it because we understand that what's ours is

877
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:26,200
not ours.

878
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:27,200
It's God's.

879
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:31,240
And if God tells you, hey, you're going to bless that person over there by giving them

880
00:53:31,240 --> 00:53:36,360
this, you are excited to do it because it's so awesome to bless people.

881
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,920
It's such a good feeling to see someone light up and say, why the frick are you helping

882
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:40,920
me?

883
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,920
And you're like, because God's telling me to do this and I'm helping you.

884
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:50,240
Like, and to see that on people's face and like some of the stuff that I've I've done

885
00:53:50,240 --> 00:53:52,160
in my life to do it.

886
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:53,920
And there were people there to witness it.

887
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:54,920
But I did it.

888
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:56,280
I tried to do discreetly, frick.

889
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:57,600
And that doesn't always work.

890
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:07,000
But I remember without going too much detail, like I went to we were hanging out downtown

891
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:13,880
and I remember long story short, there was someone that was homeless always in that situation.

892
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:15,560
In that area.

893
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:16,920
And they just had to sign up.

894
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:20,080
I read the sign and I wanted to contribute.

895
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:21,200
And I did.

896
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,240
And I remember I was with a lot of friends at the time.

897
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:27,640
And so I went to the bathroom, but I didn't.

898
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:31,300
I went to the front line, ordered from food and gave it to them.

899
00:54:31,300 --> 00:54:35,080
And I remember sitting there next to them and talking to them a little bit because I

900
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:39,040
was like, I'm not just I'm going to give you food, but I want to make sure you're OK.

901
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:46,000
And when I did, I remember walking away crying because it's such an intense thing to see

902
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,800
someone sit there and being blessed.

903
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:55,320
And you can feel like the Holy Spirit just like guiding you in it and just showing them

904
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:56,680
that love.

905
00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:02,960
And I remember walking away with tears in my eyes and like, wow, God, thank you for

906
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:03,960
showing me this.

907
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:05,480
And at that time, I was really tight on money.

908
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,580
I did not have funds to do that, but I did it.

909
00:55:08,580 --> 00:55:14,960
And it was it was it was just a whole new thing to like experience like the presence

910
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:19,120
of God so strongly and just like bless you.

911
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:24,120
And one of the friends I was with saw what I did, which I was trying to be discreet,

912
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,920
but they saw what I did and they actually ended up like crying.

913
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,480
They're like, oh, my gosh, I can't believe you did that.

914
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,160
I was like, it's not my stuff.

915
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:33,160
It's not my stuff.

916
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:34,880
God gave me everything I have.

917
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:39,400
So I give God everything back and he wanted me to do this, so I will because that's what

918
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,320
I'm called to do.

919
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,720
And that is how we live.

920
00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:48,400
We live with the mindset that everything we have is God's.

921
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,040
We gave it to God.

922
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,800
And if you didn't, then you're not living correctly.

923
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,160
You're not aligned with him correctly.

924
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,680
Everything you have is his, not yours.

925
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:04,120
Your life, your wants, your stuff, your property, your everything is his.

926
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,720
If he wants you to use it, you use it because it's not yours.

927
00:56:07,720 --> 00:56:11,760
And you live that life like that.

928
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:17,400
So if a conclusion is that we live life like Christ, it's not my stuff.

929
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:18,400
It's his.

930
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:19,400
I gave it to him.

931
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:20,400
Amen.

932
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:21,400
And amen.

933
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:25,080
That was very well said.

934
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:26,080
Gosh.

935
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:27,080
Yeah.

936
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,400
OK, this is pray.

937
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:30,400
I can't.

938
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:34,440
It was a conclusion for the conclusion.

939
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:38,520
Oh, I think, yeah, we'll just close it in prayer.

940
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:39,520
Can I pray?

941
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,840
Yeah, it's your episode, even though I took over a lot.

942
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:44,840
It's all good.

943
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:45,840
Typical Jason.

944
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:46,840
I love it.

945
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:58,840
Now, dear Lord, thank you for the opportunity, Lord, to do this podcast with my best friend.

946
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:05,720
I just pray that Lord, remember to have a servant's heart and to humble ourselves while

947
00:57:05,720 --> 00:57:07,800
doing this.

948
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:18,080
And we do it, you know, for the the kingdom, Lord, that we continue to build kingdom of

949
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:24,800
Lord of God, that everybody who listens to this will be blessed, Lord, that somebody

950
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:32,080
receive a blessing out of this, Lord, and thank you for the opportunity, Lord, and for

951
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:40,840
all you do provide, Lord, for the great.

952
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:46,040
And you for serving us and all that you've done for us, whether it be something big or

953
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:47,040
something small.

954
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,880
Pray this in your name.

955
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:50,880
Amen.

956
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:51,880
Amen.

957
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:57,360
Next week, I am in charge of the episode and we're going to be talking about we're going

958
00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:01,680
to flow through what you just said and what I said before, and we're going to go right

959
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:04,320
into preaching and teaching.

960
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,320
I don't know much about that.

961
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,080
It'll be a fun topic then.

962
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:14,840
That's something you want to hear from a pastor, pastor.

963
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,640
I don't know what you're talking about.

964
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,080
Preaching teaching what?

965
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,800
You just open the Bible and tell the kids to read.

966
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:23,800
No, imagine.

967
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:24,800
Oh, my gosh.

968
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:28,480
I mean, that's good.

969
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:32,640
But like, yeah, we're going to go in depth because obviously I think this works out,

970
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,720
though, because we went from humility to serving and then to leading.

971
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,960
Now we're you know, it's like a cycle because you can't have the two without the next one.

972
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:45,320
Because yeah, you have to have be able to serve as a leader and humble yourself as a

973
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,320
leader to teach.

974
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:52,280
Okay, fun topic.

975
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,120
The week after that, Dylan sarcasm.

976
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:55,120
We'll see.

977
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:56,120
We'll see.

978
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,120
You'll make some merch for that.

979
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:01,160
We give me a little T shirt.

980
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,160
Can you imagine?

981
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,440
Wait, I totally going to make a shirt that says Dylan sarcasm.

982
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,760
Okay, I'll do it then.

983
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,200
With my GTP hat.

984
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,440
Dylan sarcasm dash not Dylan's.

985
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:15,440
Yes.

986
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:16,440
Yeah.

987
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:18,480
Let's just do those little plugs.

988
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:22,880
Those, you know, plugs we got to throw in.

989
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,480
Make sure to follow us at the gospel truth.

990
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,440
I cast dot com for our website.

991
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:30,080
You can find all of our social media there.

992
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:31,880
Merch store, our blog post.

993
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:35,120
You can follow us on Instagram now.

994
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,760
Ooh, tick tock website.

995
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:39,760
You said wrong.

996
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:45,000
Gospel truth product project, not podcast.

997
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:46,000
Yes.

998
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:47,600
We asked for truth project dot com.

999
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:48,600
I come podcast.

1000
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:54,880
I guess we'll be on the project.

1001
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,600
And I follow us there.

1002
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:04,800
We post blogs weekly and YouTube channels available there.

1003
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:07,000
Instagram, tick tock.

1004
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:12,560
Go subscribe to our Apple podcast because you get the episodes a week early and eventually

1005
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:17,840
we'll start adding some one off that are going to be available there.

1006
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:21,080
So it's cheap to 499.

1007
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:22,080
It's not bad.

1008
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:23,080
I dropped the price tag.

1009
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:26,120
Oh my gosh, you did it.

1010
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:27,120
I did.

1011
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:30,480
I dropped it to 499 a month and that will not change.

1012
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:34,360
It will stay 499 or you can buy the year for 40 bucks.

1013
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,320
Maybe that savings right there of like $20.

1014
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:39,320
Yeah.

1015
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:45,640
Because that way and 75% of all income comes, goes into a charity, which is childhood cancer

1016
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:46,640
research.

1017
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:48,720
So it's a good cause.

1018
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:49,720
Definitely is.

1019
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:57,840
If not, if you know, money's tight, we get it because we have, we have an outreach team.

1020
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:01,760
If you want to jump in and help out, you can talk about serving.

1021
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:03,080
You can serve with outreach.

1022
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,320
It doesn't have to be financial.

1023
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:09,040
You, you got, we'll take it.

1024
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:10,040
Yeah.

1025
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,320
If you want to be part of the outreach program, the outreach program basically just talks

1026
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:16,400
to churches and says, Hey, we have a podcast that they want to get involved.

1027
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,200
We love to have one of their ministers as a guest, et cetera.

1028
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,480
Like let's talk about this.

1029
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:23,080
We're really open to that kind of stuff.

1030
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:26,560
But if you want to be part of the ministry team to outreach team for this, we, you get

1031
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,220
a, you get a hat.

1032
01:01:28,220 --> 01:01:31,560
You also get a little cards as well, like business cards.

1033
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:37,360
So that kind of stuff is what is going to make a difference in the long run to make

1034
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:43,720
sure that we're spreading this ministry as best we can because it's all for glorifying

1035
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:48,520
God, helping others understand God and what the Bible says more, make it easier to understand

1036
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:54,760
is what I was trying to say and give it back to him with charities and stuff.

1037
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:56,760
So yeah.

1038
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:57,760
Yeah.

1039
01:01:57,760 --> 01:01:58,760
Yeah.

1040
01:01:58,760 --> 01:01:59,760
Yeah.

1041
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:00,760
Everything helps.

1042
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:05,840
Whether it's your prayers, outreach, money.

1043
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:12,360
Um, that's all, you know, that's all we care about that, you know, give people opportunity

1044
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:13,360
to serve.

1045
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:20,200
Um, so we said a stress and if not, you know what, just hit the follow button on the things

1046
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:23,760
so you can see what we post and you can still share it like that too.

1047
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,280
See you on the next one.

1048
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:28,280
You on the Pivoti flop.

1049
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:29,280
Bye.

1050
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:52,280
Good luck.
