00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,400
Welcome to the GTP show.

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,640
I am your host Jason.

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,360
I have my co-host here Dylan.

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:14,360
Say hi Dylan.

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:15,360
Hey guys.

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,560
What's up?

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,240
So as you noticed we were on a little hiatus there for I think what two weeks?

8
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:25,160
Yeah about two weeks.

9
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,840
About two and a half or so.

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,840
Maybe one.

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:28,840
I don't know.

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,840
It's somewhere in that range.

13
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:36,720
You know we trapped me and my wife traveled and then out to California.

14
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:42,760
Got the hang out with Dylan and his wife and then yeah then there was like some health

15
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,920
stuff that came up.

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,920
So that also postponed us.

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,680
You know Dylan's starting a new job which also was getting used to.

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,200
So there was a lot of stuff that kind of put us in a place to where we couldn't get to

19
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,940
a spot where we could both record at the same time.

20
00:00:56,940 --> 00:00:58,760
So that was a lot of fun.

21
00:00:58,760 --> 00:00:59,760
But we're here.

22
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:00,760
Very very fun.

23
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,840
Yeah they try to figure out the balance and like everything going on.

24
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:06,840
Yeah.

25
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:07,840
Yeah.

26
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,800
You guys traveling and then you know the medical stuff that happened too.

27
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,960
Yeah medical stuff the traveling.

28
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:14,960
You new job.

29
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,800
There was a lot of stuff all at once for sure.

30
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,800
Lots of fun stuff.

31
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:24,160
I do apologize for that little wait but hope you guys understand like life happens.

32
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,320
It's fine.

33
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:27,320
We're back.

34
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:28,320
We're back.

35
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:29,320
We're back.

36
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:30,320
But we have to get back in the flow here.

37
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:31,440
So we're all good.

38
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,440
Yeah.

39
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,440
Everyone's alive.

40
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,600
Yeah we're all we're all kicking and screaming.

41
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,240
Yep.

42
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,240
So yeah.

43
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,680
So how are things with you right now?

44
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,400
How are you doing?

45
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,900
I'm doing doing better.

46
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:51,220
I'm doing better.

47
00:01:51,220 --> 00:01:52,220
Okay.

48
00:01:52,220 --> 00:01:54,920
After everything that happened.

49
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,920
medical stuff that happened with Mar.

50
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,920
Yeah, just in general.

51
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,920
It was just kind of, yeah, it was a little emotional.

52
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,920
So it was not the easiest thing.

53
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:10,920
Yeah, I've been there.

54
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:14,920
So that was something we had to go through.

55
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:19,920
Lots of prayer and a lot of people praying for us.

56
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:21,920
So that was nice.

57
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:29,920
Yeah, otherwise, you know, just day by day, you're getting through stuff and it's going good with the new job and loving it and God's proven and providing.

58
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:31,920
So it's exciting.

59
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:32,920
How about yourself?

60
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:35,920
How are you guys doing after all the traveling and everything?

61
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:39,920
Well, this is the first month and was it September?

62
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:42,920
So it's been what?

63
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:43,920
Let's see here.

64
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:45,920
June, July, August, September.

65
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:50,920
So this is the first month in like five months that we haven't traveled to California.

66
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:52,920
We've been doing it once a month at minimum.

67
00:02:52,920 --> 00:03:00,920
So this is like the first month where we actually are able to kind of breathe and just be like, OK, what what's next?

68
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:05,920
Like, let's just take a breather, take some time, relax, do what we want to do here.

69
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:09,920
And yeah, we've been going to California at least once a month.

70
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:12,920
And it's an eight and a half hour, nine hour drive from where we are.

71
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:16,920
So it's good to kind of be home.

72
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:20,920
Obviously, when I did it, it was only like eight.

73
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:24,920
It is good to be home, but we do miss our friends and family.

74
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:34,920
And we do see that more and more every day where we're just like, man, we're driving this eight, nine hour trip and then we don't get to see everybody or hang out with everybody we want to hang out with.

75
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,920
And then we have to tell people, no, then they think it's them.

76
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:38,920
It's not them.

77
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,920
It's just we don't have time because we already made commitments.

78
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,920
I mean, as long as you see me, that's all that matters.

79
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,920
Right.

80
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,920
So there's that.

81
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:59,920
And then I've been working on my other projects and that's been taking up a lot of my time in general.

82
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:18,920
It's been it's been one crazy, busy road, but it's been it's been good to see everybody and it's been good to kind of see where our priorities are like me and Jess together and kind of putting that on a plate to be like, this is what we could have.

83
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,920
And this is what we do have.

84
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:31,920
And then deciding what we actually want to do because we do love Arizona. We love it out here. It's gorgeous. It's beautiful. It's pretty. There's sites, there's foods, there's stuff.

85
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,920
And then but we grew up over in California with all our friends and family.

86
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,920
And I know how it feels.

87
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,920
Yeah.

88
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:53,920
Yeah, that we like I know how it feels to not be around family because I've been not around my family for like 10 years.

89
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,920
It's no, I'd say about actually closer to seven, maybe seven or eight.

90
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,920
But it's been a long time.

91
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,920
So I know how that is.

92
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,920
Five to seven. I don't know.

93
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:08,920
I think around seven.

94
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,920
Most of my family are not around me.

95
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,920
So I know what that feels like. Yeah, I know what it feels like.

96
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:22,920
So I know with Jess and her family, it'd be good to be closer to them because I know what that's like.

97
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,920
And it's not it's not a good situation to be in for a long time.

98
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,920
Just it's nice to have that support where it's people you're familiar with, et cetera.

99
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,920
So, well, yeah, that's kind of where we're at.

100
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:44,920
It's been it's been good, though, because God is good and just trusting in him, praying and spending time with him, which we're going to talk a little bit about, too.

101
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,920
You'll see why everybody else.

102
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:52,920
But yeah, you make sure to spend time, you know, be being in the word.

103
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,920
Yeah, being in the word. Yep. Yep.

104
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,920
Which is, I think, another Christian term, which is a Christian term.

105
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,920
So we're going to totally, you know, segue into this.

106
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:11,920
So this week's topic is going to be Christian needs little terms that Christians, you know, we use.

107
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,920
And you'll be like, what the heck do they mean?

108
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,920
Like, this is just what you know? Yeah.

109
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:26,920
Because there's some things that you say, you know, like, oh, he's being led by the spirit.

110
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:35,920
What? Like he's being led by a spirit like a ghost or like, you know, that's really dive in that and.

111
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,920
I think I should go spend some quiet time.

112
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,920
Yeah, I think I should a story that you wanted to start off with, right?

113
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,920
Do I? About somebody who is asking you questions.

114
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,920
Oh, yeah.

115
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:57,920
That's right. Thank you for reminding me that was like two and a half weeks ago.

116
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:05,920
It was like two weeks. But yeah, there was a friend that I know of on Facebook.

117
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:11,920
Like, I haven't met them in person, but I talk with them a lot and he's newer Christian.

118
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:18,920
And he was asking questions and he was like, I don't think I don't understand some of the terms that I hear in my church.

119
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,920
I'm like, like what? He's like something about like we're going to spend quiet to make sure to get quiet time in.

120
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,920
Or they'll say we're going to do some life groups.

121
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,920
And then one of the things that they talked about was like traveling mercies.

122
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,920
And he was like, I don't understand any of this. Like, what is this?

123
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,920
And I see your parent. If you're a parent, though, you understand what quiet time is.

124
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:44,920
Yeah, that is the beautiful hours that the child's children are sleeping.

125
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:51,920
And the house is finally quiet. Fortunately, my household, I'm still very loud, so my wife doesn't have to get a break.

126
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:59,920
No, the main question he asked was what does spend time with God mean?

127
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,920
He's like, what? I don't understand.

128
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,920
Like, he's not physically here or like down the street where I go to an address and there's God.

129
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:14,920
Like, that's he's like, that's not how I understood it. So what does what do people mean to spend time with God?

130
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,920
What does that look like? And that was another Christian is.

131
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:22,920
And that's where this whole topic came from was the idea of like there's a lot of Christian terms, which Christian is if you don't know,

132
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:32,920
it just means terminology or words that are used strictly in a Christian or church setting that we get from biblical nature.

133
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:43,920
And we use it in everyday discussion or talks where other people who are new to Christian or not Christian will just be look at us and be like, the Frick did you just say?

134
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,920
So that's that's where that came from.

135
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:58,920
You guess for Christians, you probably have heard before, if you're a Christian guy, you know, you wanted to date that one girl and then she's like, oh, no, I'm just focusing on, you know,

136
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,920
that's calling me to, you know, a season of tingle.

137
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,920
This I've never heard that.

138
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,920
Oh, singleness.

139
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:09,920
Okay.

140
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,920
So singleness.

141
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:12,920
And you know what happens?

142
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,920
I said something with a D like dingle.

143
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,920
This I'm like, what the heck is dingle?

144
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,920
This guy calls you to go use the toilet and get rid of those dingleberries.

145
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,920
Oh, my gosh.

146
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:29,920
You know, I think I forget I want to say it was somebody one of our friends, maybe it was Alex.

147
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,920
I definitely had someone tell me.

148
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,920
And he said, I mean, yeah, I'm sorry.

149
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,920
Like, you said I don't want to date you.

150
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:43,920
I'm just being called to a season of singleness to focus on my relationship with God, my walk with God.

151
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:49,920
And they always end up every time I've heard this from somebody getting married, like eight months later.

152
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,920
Can I like add in something to that statement?

153
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:58,920
Because I've seen this from both like a woman saying it.

154
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,920
And I've also seen men say a version of it.

155
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:11,920
But it's really just trying to use it's using God incorrectly because you're using God as a crutch to hide ways to where you don't want to be a part of it

156
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,920
or you don't want to hurt someone's feelings and just say, like, I'm not interested in you.

157
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:21,920
You just instead you're saying that and you're using God as a cover. So people have to get mad at God or accept what you said.

158
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:27,920
And that is a horrible way to interact in any sort of.

159
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:33,920
Like Christian faith based stuff is like you don't you don't use God as a crutch that way.

160
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,920
And people who do, you don't understand what God is there for.

161
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,920
It's not to be used as a crutch to bypass emotional or serious talks with someone.

162
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,920
So that, yeah, definitely don't do that.

163
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,920
That's true.

164
00:10:50,920 --> 00:11:00,920
But I think if you've if you're being sincere with it and actually mean it like, hey, like I've been actually like I think if you're not using it, like just get out of relationship.

165
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,920
But it's like real just say valid.

166
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:09,920
Just say no. Instead, say I feel like I don't I'm not ready for a relationship right now.

167
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,920
That's it. You just say I'm not interested in that right now. That's it.

168
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:20,920
You don't have to use God as a crutch to be like, I hope it doesn't hurt your feelings because I'm going to use God to for you to blame instead of me.

169
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,920
It's not my fault. It's God. It's not me saying it.

170
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,920
I'm just God's calling me. So you can't say anything about it.

171
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:34,920
It's like, no, just be real with somebody and be like, hey, even if you feel like that is something that's going on, you got to be real with the person.

172
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:41,920
Say, hey, I'm not interested in that right now. I don't see myself in that relationship and I I'm not looking for a relationship right now.

173
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:51,920
Just be simple, just straight up with the person because they're not going to look at you and be like, oh, OK, well, if you unless they're a bad person, which that does happen.

174
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,920
But I'm saying it in the sense that don't use God as a purse.

175
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,920
It was a place to blame so that you can get through conversations easier.

176
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:06,920
That's like the that's oh, man, we should have a whole episode on Christian pet peeves.

177
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,920
Oh, I know that might be a whole season.

178
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,920
Oh, that just literally reminded me.

179
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:23,920
It's like when people want to like if someone is doing something that another I've seen this happen so many times inside the church where they're like, I don't like what that person's doing.

180
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,920
So they'll go up to that person. I feel like God's telling me to tell you, blink, blink, blink.

181
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,920
And then they use that to tell the person that they don't like what they're doing.

182
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,920
And it's just like you did what now?

183
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,920
Like, are you kidding me?

184
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,920
It's ridiculous. Yes.

185
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,920
It's like 100 percent like, yes, I've seen that.

186
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:50,920
It's like, I don't think that's no.

187
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:59,920
Don't say that. Don't go up to someone just because you don't like what they're doing or what they said. And you're like, no, it's told me to like, tell you not to do.

188
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:04,920
And God told me that you're full of baloney.

189
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,920
Ever heard you talking, Becky?

190
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:14,920
I was told to be wolves in sheep's clothing.

191
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:22,920
That's messed up. OK, yeah, we definitely need to do like a whole nother episode on Christian pet peeves and go off.

192
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,920
Like there's things out there.

193
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:32,920
I yeah, I agree with your statement that you are making.

194
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,920
OK, so I got I got a fun. So let's get back on topic for you for your topic here.

195
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:50,920
Like. I have I have one that you know. OK, first off, let's let's let's talk about the one that we got, the original one, which is spend time with God.

196
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,920
Because that's a Christian. That's a that's a big one.

197
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,920
And that person asked, so we should probably address that one for sure.

198
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,920
Yes, that's probably a good idea to actually address things that people have asked us.

199
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:07,920
Or you know that we've been asked about, you know, just maybe a piece to our audience.

200
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,920
Oh, yeah. A little bit.

201
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:19,920
It's a little bit. So, yeah, the whole.

202
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,920
I don't even know where to start. Go ahead and start, actually.

203
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,920
But I mean, I think you sit here and think on it a little bit.

204
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,920
OK, I'll do too, because I know there's like many, many different ways.

205
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,920
And one wrath about is Jesus. Jesus himself modeled prioritizing time with God.

206
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:48,920
And what that meant with time with God, Mark 135 talks about where Jesus very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and he went to a solitary place where he prayed.

207
00:14:48,920 --> 00:15:01,920
And you can see in the Bible multiple times where it talks about when we were praying to God, we're not to do it in front of a whole bunch of people to show him like, look at me, I'm praying and I'm doing it because I'm holy or righteous.

208
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:17,920
And it was like, find a solitary place, pray to God. And you're just and prayer is pretty simple where if you read the sample prayer, it's really asking God to be in your life, his will to be done in your life, that you thank him for everything that's going on daily bread, etc, etc.

209
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:27,920
And you're really just interacting and showing praise to God by by honoring him, by wanting his will, not yours, and by thanking him.

210
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:35,920
And that's like a sign of praise as well, because we know as we talked before, praise is a part of that.

211
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:50,920
And then we got stuff like Luke 11 28, where Jesus replied to, I think it was the Pharisees at the time with where he said, but even more blessed are the all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.

212
00:15:50,920 --> 00:16:07,920
And we can we can see that kind of consistency where we read the word of God, we hear the word of God and what Jesus talks about and what like the kingdom of heaven it looks like and what the Holy Spirit looks like and how our life is supposed to look like with the Holy Spirit.

213
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:20,920
And we put it into practice, not in the sense of like earning salvation, but in the sense that we worship God. So we want to reflect God and we want to look like God in a sense that we want to look like what Jesus wants us to look like.

214
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:27,920
So we need to know what that looks like. So that's why we, Jesus himself said, who hears the word of God and puts into practice.

215
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:51,920
So we are to we are called to live a life of peace, love, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. So a little stuff like that right there is some examples of spending time with God, reading the word, put the practice, solitary places to pray, you know, don't make a show of it.

216
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:57,920
So, I can add in if you're if you're still thinking I have more to add.

217
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:03,920
No, yeah. Just, you know, spending time in the word.

218
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:09,920
I just see like I think of like, you know, Jesus in the garden.

219
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:19,920
All right. Right before he died, he was what was he doing? Spending time in the word talking to his father.

220
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:31,920
He is the word. Yeah, you know what I mean? But like that's like where he was at. He was like, man, you know, he's about to die. He's like, OK, cool. You know, be great.

221
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:37,920
And we talked to my father and he like he needed time.

222
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:51,920
No, like to spend with his father. It's like we all need that because like there's times where it's like, you know, I feel it's more of the time when our walk is with this Christians, we feel like we're doing great.

223
00:17:51,920 --> 00:18:01,920
We're feeling we're doing fine. So. Like, OK, cool, I'm good. And then you're like, oh, have I been spending time?

224
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:10,920
I think that's when your walk is what's really affected is when you forget about that.

225
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:21,920
You forget this time on the word like you. I feel like I noticed that like a walk all of a sudden doesn't feel like it's like, oh, I need to be doing more.

226
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:32,920
And it's just the things that I think you notice more is like when you need to be in the word, you know, it's just not the you're not feeling it.

227
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,920
It's whole walk is often a sense. And I feel like that's what people like to say.

228
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:44,920
Yeah, and you spend time. I think it's important to remember how important that time is for sure.

229
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:59,920
Because that's the whole thing of walk by faith was the second Corinthians five seven that says before we walk by faith, not by sight, that that word faith is actually a pistis, which is conviction of the truth of anything.

230
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:20,920
What did you say? It's generally with the included idea of trust and holy fervor born of faith and jointed with the relation to God or relating to Christ and the religion beliefs of Christians who follow Christ.

231
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:30,920
So it's it's important to know that with that in mind, we can see that Paul talks about it in Romans, which you love Romans.

232
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:40,920
I know that it's a great book. It is Romans 1017 says, So faith comes from hearing and hearing through the word of words of Christ.

233
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:54,920
And we know that the this builds on Paul's quote of Isaiah in the previous verse, which Isaiah asked the Lord who has believed what he has heard from us, which is Isaiah 53 one want to go back and read that.

234
00:19:54,920 --> 00:20:09,920
But Paul was showing that a refusal to believe what God says amounts to disobedience that according to scripture is the root problem when people hear the gospel and do not accept it, which you can read that in John five thirty nine to forty as well as John seven seventeen.

235
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:16,920
Those who disbelieve do so because on some level they do not want to believe it's a choice.

236
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:31,920
So it's it that's that's kind of what if you hear Christians say in general or you see something that says spend time with the word or spend time with God, it's really reading the word so we can understand why we have faith in what we believe.

237
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:43,920
And then to walk in that is way Christ wanted us to walk because you can you can see a lot of people in media and stuff like that who say they're Christian who are very angry, who are very aggressive.

238
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,920
And if you read the word, you can see that that's not biblical.

239
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:47,920
That's not godly.

240
00:20:47,920 --> 00:21:12,920
The Jesus says that you'll know me because I'll be with them kind of thing like the Holy Spirit will be with them and you can see that in Galatians five with that letter where it says if they are the fruits of their work are this like if you see in their life they have peace, they share peace, love, joy, patience, all the stuff that's really good.

241
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,920
That means that they have the Holy Spirit with them and they don't have that and they don't.

242
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:31,920
So when you see these people who are angry, yelling, screaming, like that's that's just blasphemy of of the what the word is and who God wanted us to be because it clearly says not to do that.

243
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,920
There's nothing loving about that.

244
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:48,920
So that's why it's important to to understand what the word is and what God is and who we're supposed to look like as followers of Christ in that sense.

245
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,920
100%

246
00:21:50,920 --> 00:22:08,920
With that that explains that Christian is what else what other Christian thinking thinking with that too is like that goes like to like being with you know salvation you shouldn't be acting like that but not saying that there we don't have their you know mistakes

247
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:23,920
things are working on but like that's definitely one of them. You think about it like that.

248
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:38,920
I don't miss miss you know have problems with right too quickly or you know me. So, and I was thinking about that.

249
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:45,920
That that yeah that's just what it means when you hear that that yeah like spend time with God is just spend time with God is talking about.

250
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,920
Yeah.

251
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:55,920
So the other one is, I mean, gosh, you go ahead, go ahead.

252
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,920
Sure, how'd you protection.

253
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:05,920
I love this one and I use it all the time.

254
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,920
It is it every day when it comes from.

255
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,920
Oh, I just use it I don't actually know this.

256
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:25,920
What's that. So, so the hedge hedge of protection actually comes from job job one, like, first chapter job job.

257
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,920
And verse 10 he says, it says has now.

258
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:44,920
Let me switch to a easier to read translation, because I have it in King James for a reason.

259
00:23:44,920 --> 00:24:00,920
The word hedge is literally just exactly that it's a fence built up like a protection it's a primitive route. And it's it literally is just defining like protecting its protection, that's really all it is.

260
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:17,920
So that term has your protection came from that directly. And the only reason why it's continued to use in a Christian sense is that we have multiple verses mostly in Psalms if I'm being honest, it's like Psalms 140 Psalms 91 Psalms 121 Psalms three and Psalms 23.

261
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:33,920
And it's consistently saying like, keep me a Lord protect me, you know, your protective love you'll protect me from harm you'll shield me you'll give me peace during those times like you'll darkest valley the lowest lows you'll out fear no danger if you're no evil.

262
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:46,920
All this stuff about protection so overall that terminology is just in reference to that just the protection of of God because it was used that way.

263
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,920
That's the simplest it gets.

264
00:24:50,920 --> 00:25:01,920
Yeah, and I think when we use it to like this we use it for that like for God to have over his protection and he oversees the thing.

265
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:10,920
You know, I talked about like, you for travel mercies is kind of I feel very much the same thing it's best for his protection.

266
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,920
Those things and make sure that they're safe.

267
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:20,920
Yeah, you know what does bug me about about the idea of the hedge protection, the only thing that bugs me with the terminology there.

268
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,920
One thing okay let's hear it.

269
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:43,920
The only thing that bugs me about that one is that the only time that the word hedge is used and it's in the idea of hedging like protection protecting someone in this house is in job one like I said but knew who was the person that said it Satan told God don't you put a hedge around him and protect them.

270
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,920
That's the only time it mentions it that way.

271
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,920
Really.

272
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,920
Yeah, let's see only interesting.

273
00:25:53,920 --> 00:26:13,920
Yeah, obviously it's like there's a lot of times in the Bible where it says like God's protective and you will shield us and he will give us peace and you'll strengthen us through the hard time stuff like that there's tons of that, but the only time it's mentioned as a hedge was was when Satan specifically talk to God about job.

274
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:19,920
So it's interesting. Yeah, it's just interesting. I just had to throw that in there.

275
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:29,920
We use that but it's like there is a hedge protection you see, but I clearly I mean there is such thing because why else would take me the same as a God.

276
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:46,920
You can see he was saying as I does does not it will because the previous verse right before verse nine he's Satan says to God about job saying well does he not fear and respect God because of all this like it comes with a price like he does all this stuff and you protect them.

277
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,920
So no wonder why he loves you and that was the whole start of job.

278
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,920
If you read protection of this man.

279
00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:05,920
What does he have right? Yeah, exactly. So Steve. Yeah, so it was like a less bet. That's that's cat bet.

280
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,920
Yeah, you're here first on the GT PP show.

281
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,920
I got that's a good project podcast.

282
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,920
Yeah, PP.

283
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:27,920
Yep. A lot of a lot of people I think have used that as a Christian use term and not everybody would understand that.

284
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,920
No, 100% no.

285
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:43,920
So like what are you hedging something you have a hedge fund, you have like what your protection your hedging something like you're protecting your assets are you know like, right.

286
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:52,920
It gets it across like you know the main point for the word protecting something like what is why are you being protected.

287
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:59,920
What do you need that from it's like anything.

288
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:10,920
That's all I can think about saying is a lot of things like you know the enemies alive and well and people don't see that people don't realize that because

289
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:18,920
people especially here we're comfortable so we don't think of protection from anything we're like oh no I'm good.

290
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:19,920
Good.

291
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:27,920
And live in our comfortability and I think that's why we need to take steps out always.

292
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:34,920
That's another rant going on. So honest. Well I'll go back to a Christian use term you already said once.

293
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,920
Quiet time me.

294
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:49,920
Because, because, oh yeah but like it in in in a Christian term, because any a lot of people use this quiet time I'm just going to sit there.

295
00:28:49,920 --> 00:29:02,920
It's not time out like let's use usually use like as a timeout kind of thing but in a Christian term it literally just means I want to go solidarity or sorry like by myself.

296
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:18,920
Sit there read my read the Bible pray like that's usually the quickest way to say I'm going to go do that is just say oh I'm going to spend some quiet time with God or I'm going to spend some quiet time and it literally just means like you're just going to go read and pray by yourself.

297
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,920
That's it.

298
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,920
Not not put, but baby in a corner.

299
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:34,920
Yeah, no, no, we put baby in a corner. But, um, you know, it is the quiet time is like having that time.

300
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,920
Be in the word.

301
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,920
Yeah, that's it.

302
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,920
And I'll really just connect with that.

303
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:53,920
Because being the word spending time in the word, and then having that quiet time to self reflect and we're going to need to, you know, work on in your walk to be in prayer.

304
00:29:53,920 --> 00:30:03,920
You know, in other words, I'll be in prayer about it. I'll go you know, like, what we in prayer about it like okay.

305
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:12,920
Yeah, because being in prayer over something you know, other kind of a Christian thing but I mean, a lot of people pray.

306
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:20,920
Just, you know, being in prayer about something to

307
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:26,920
you know, your quiet time having quiet time with God and they all kind of they all kind of work together.

308
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:31,920
Yeah, these Christian use.

309
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:42,920
Um, but definitely feel like, yeah, quiet time is because you know life gets crazy.

310
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:50,920
It gets very chaotic. Yeah, everything that's been going on in the past couple weeks.

311
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:55,920
There's been times where I'm saying okay, a new job.

312
00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:04,920
I'm driving around I'm like okay cool let's spend some time with God, kind of like sit there and pray over things and

313
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:13,920
it's another new people at work to be praying for them and you know, hear people, people are going through and then you listen to our podcast.

314
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,920
Yeah, oh, I do. I leave it on. I know you do.

315
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,920
Is over there probably like he does too much.

316
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:29,920
Of course I'm going to listen to it because sometimes I listen to myself. I'm like, oh, oh, pretty good.

317
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:35,920
And actually sometimes I know what I'm talking about.

318
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:41,920
Yeah, she said some of the day because I wasn't being too patient and we were talking about for the spirit.

319
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:48,920
That's like, you remember your episode about the spirit. I'm like, I know you're talking about.

320
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,920
Like, maybe we need accountability.

321
00:31:52,920 --> 00:32:03,920
Gosh, you need it smoking hot smoking hot wife and accountability is please.

322
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,920
I'm only one of those things.

323
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:15,920
No, it's crazy. I think honestly, like, yeah, it's marriage is awesome. I love it.

324
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:25,920
Yeah, no, it's a.

325
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,920
As the what I got another Christian use term for you.

326
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:35,920
Okay, I want to know if you've heard this because I've definitely heard this, but it's been a long time since I've heard this.

327
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,920
Say daddy Jesus, okay.

328
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,920
No, no, no traveling mercies.

329
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:49,920
Oh, yeah, all the time going on mission strips like, oh, they're going to have a traveling mercy and pray over them.

330
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:56,920
And it's like, oh, you know, because traveling mercies, that makes sense.

331
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:07,920
Like, you know, with that, definitely in the early church, they'd go out to like Ethiopia, Rome, Corinth, all those places.

332
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,920
It's in the book of Acts alone with Simon and John Mark.

333
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,920
I realized that I was like, you know, this whole story is telling a really cool story.

334
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,920
And it's like in John Mark was there. It's like, what? Yeah.

335
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,920
John Mark was like, like, we're going to her. Okay, guys.

336
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,920
Okay, let's go. Yeah.

337
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,920
I was, you know, teaching through acts and I'm like doing that.

338
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,920
I'm like, John Mark, I just showing up. He's like, where's the party?

339
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:40,920
Yeah. So I just thought it was funny. Yeah.

340
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,920
Yeah. It's really like safe trip.

341
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,920
It's like a religious way to say safe. Yeah.

342
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,920
It's like, you know, have a safe trip. Hope you get there. Okay.

343
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,920
Yeah. It's like saying safe trip. I'll be praying for you.

344
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,920
That's pretty much like some 100 percent what that is.

345
00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,920
It's like we're making, you know, we'll pray to God that you have a safe trip.

346
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,920
Right. It's like what? John 14, 27, where he's like, peace.

347
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,920
I leave with you my peace. I give to you.

348
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,920
Not as the world gives. Do I give to you?

349
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,920
Let your hearts not be troubled near and neither let them be afraid.

350
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:18,920
And it's there's a lot of verses that talks in that sense.

351
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,920
It's like, don't worry about tomorrow.

352
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,920
James had to bring in James.

353
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,920
We talked about romance. It's okay.

354
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:36,920
And there's a lot of verses and a lot of conversations that happened that was consistent with don't be troubled.

355
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,920
God's God's got you one way or another.

356
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,920
He'll bring peace to your life one way or another.

357
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:47,920
Just let him open the doors, pray consistently that his will be done, et cetera, et cetera.

358
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,920
But it was just like that's that's really it.

359
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,920
It's like, hey, traveling mercies just means.

360
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,920
They travels. I'll be praying for you.

361
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,920
Live long and prosper.

362
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:01,920
Live long and prosper.

363
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,920
You know what I mean?

364
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,920
It's the Christian nerd.

365
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,920
Christian Star Trek thing.

366
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,920
The Christian Star Trek thing.

367
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:11,920
So they're doing the thing with your hand.

368
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,920
They do like a little like Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

369
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,920
I know that's a Catholic stuff.

370
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:18,920
I don't know.

371
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:19,920
Catholic Lutheran.

372
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:24,920
Yeah, I escaped before I was too old.

373
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,920
That's that's a good that's a good one, though.

374
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,920
That's a good one.

375
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:30,920
What are those?

376
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:31,920
What are those?

377
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:32,920
Can you think of there's tons of them?

378
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,920
I mean, I have a list of like 50.

379
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:37,920
Shoot, man.

380
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:45,920
I'm like, oh, being led by the spirit are filled with the spirit.

381
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,920
Oh, those are good.

382
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:54,920
Now, that's one that you hear like, what are you led with?

383
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:55,920
What was the spirit?

384
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:56,920
What are you drinking?

385
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:08,920
Like, this actually is in reference to verse that I already brought forward, which was Galatians five led by spirit.

386
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,920
It just means that we choose to.

387
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:11,920
Right.

388
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:12,920
We choose to follow the Holy Spirit.

389
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:13,920
That's literally all that means.

390
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:22,920
And if you haven't yet read it, because we talk about Galatians Galatians in general a lot in this podcast, Galatians five.

391
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:30,920
Read that that right there explains everything when you hear led by the spirit, follow the spirit, whatever, and talks about the Holy Spirit.

392
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,920
There's your answer.

393
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,920
Pretty, pretty straight stuff.

394
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,920
It went out real quick.

395
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,920
Really?

396
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,920
Yeah, it's just like what you just said.

397
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:51,920
It's just it's really just our sinful flesh and the Holy Spirit are both constantly in conflict inside of us.

398
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,920
We have choices to do.

399
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:59,920
That's it.

400
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:05,920
It's really it's spelt out very well for us to say, look for this and look for this.

401
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,920
If you know this is the Holy Spirit, you know this is the flesh.

402
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:18,920
So it's very put out there to understand which one's which so that you can be like, oh, it's really easy to tell if I'm doing something that's I'm not supposed to be doing.

403
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:25,920
If I'm trying to represent Christ, because I'm a I'm like, I'm a Christ ambassador kind of thing because I'm trying to represent the kingdom of God.

404
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,920
And that's what you do.

405
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:29,920
Straight up.

406
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,920
That's a good.

407
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,920
Oh, wait, you got any more Christian things that you see?

408
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:35,920
You got a list of 50.

409
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,920
So that's your why I got plenty of them.

410
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:43,920
I just checking on you because otherwise I would just keep mumbling.

411
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,920
That's not going to stop you.

412
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:47,920
Fine.

413
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,920
Washed by the blood.

414
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:57,920
Oh, can you imagine people who've never been to church before walking to a Christian church?

415
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:58,920
I would be a weird one.

416
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,920
That would be washed by the blood in the what?

417
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,920
Is this a cult church? What does that walk into?

418
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,920
I don't know about that.

419
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,920
OK, he says he got Jesus.

420
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,920
He's like, well, we washed in blood.

421
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,920
Like he said, what are you going to?

422
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,920
It's a weird church.

423
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:18,920
Right.

424
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,920
You know, normal washed in blood.

425
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,920
What?

426
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,920
Need some milk.

427
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:32,920
Yes, it's not normal at all.

428
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,920
They hear that outside of the church.

429
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:36,920
They know you don't hear that.

430
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:37,920
Mm hmm.

431
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:48,920
I mean, Jesus, the reason why we got this, this is from Jesus himself, who in Matthew 26, 28, remember correctly, you can look it up.

432
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:55,920
But it says for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

433
00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:04,920
This is like when he was like the doing the communion and passing out bread and the wine and stuff like that.

434
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:11,920
And that's where we got communion from, which is another Christian term, which most people want to understand was communion.

435
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,920
Hebrews talks about it.

436
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,920
The Hebrews, chapter nine, I recommend reading.

437
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,920
I think it's nine one through 18.

438
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:33,920
If you remember, I know it's chapter nine, but verse 14 talks about how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purified our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

439
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:46,920
So anytime we're mentioning or talking about blood, we're talking about specifically Jesus dying on the cross to cover that of all the sin before, because he was the perfect sacrifice, because he was without blemish.

440
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,920
He was perfect. He lived a perfect life without sin.

441
00:39:49,920 --> 00:40:01,920
And with that, he died and he rose again and fulfilled the old covenant, which the old covenant said there had to be blood that was paid for sin that happened.

442
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,920
And so he covered that.

443
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,920
And that's what that meant.

444
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:14,920
So when you hear that, that's the Christian is behind it is Lily just talking about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that he covered.

445
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:21,920
He started a new covenant with us through him and through his sacrifice and his resurrection.

446
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,920
Yeah.

447
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:35,920
Just like the whole like one of the most probably important things, you know, can really mention or talk about being covered in the blood.

448
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:51,920
And I mean, that is a huge one. But thank you. So, you know, like, I just think of it like, like, definitely the Christian, like a Christian, his word, like I couldn't imagine using like in a sporting event like how do you feel you did out there today, kid?

449
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:57,920
Why was this really, you know, I was really just, you know, covered in the blood of Jesus Christ out there.

450
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:05,920
They really just helped me win to be like, what now? What did you do? What you were covered in? What the Jesus Christ?

451
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,920
Okay. Yeah.

452
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:08,920
Checked out.

453
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:26,920
Like, yeah, it sounds it sounds off. It sounds culty. It sounds kind of gross, but it's just it's interesting because like in my opinion, this is just my opinion, because as a Christian, you accept Jesus Christ.

454
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,920
Right. You have faith in him. You accept him into your life and then you follow him.

455
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:40,920
The opinion is that we know that. So we say it in a simple term, sum up the gospel and wash by the blood.

456
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:58,920
But I think if you think we should be more vocal about what that means because it's easy to summarize something, but someone who doesn't understand or who doesn't know or who is new Christian might look at them like, I don't understand this.

457
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:14,920
This sounds weird. The sounds off or I don't get why it's blood. Like what is this? And it's easier to explain. Like, it's a simplified version of the gospel and we need to make it more accurate than simplified.

458
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,920
Like, this is what happened.

459
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,920
Eyewitnesses saw Jesus and knew his life.

460
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,920
Say that again real quick. I like that.

461
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:22,920
Say that again.

462
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,920
Which part?

463
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:30,920
We need to make it more.

464
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,920
Make it more what?

465
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,920
I'm going to have to go back and check it.

466
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,920
Oh my gosh. Okay. We need to make it more accurate.

467
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:41,920
Yes. Thank you.

468
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:42,920
More. Yeah. That's what I said.

469
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:43,920
We need to be on top of it more.

470
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:44,920
That's what I was like.

471
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:57,920
Make it more accurate for people instead of trying to find shortcuts, verbal shortcuts to make sense to other Christians. It's kind of like creating a click that no one can get a part of.

472
00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:58,920
Yeah.

473
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,920
Exactly.

474
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,920
Exactly what I was. We need to do them like, ooh, that. Yeah.

475
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,920
Right there.

476
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:13,920
Because it's so true.

477
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:19,920
It reminds me of another Christian needs that is used a lot and I don't a lot of people know the word.

478
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:25,920
It's a very common word. Everybody knows the word, but not many people knows what it what it means.

479
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,920
And that's where it's interesting.

480
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,920
Hallelujah.

481
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:44,920
In like that we are. Yeah, we pronounce it with the H. Hallelujah. But the original Hebrew word for this was allelujah, which with the H is silent.

482
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,920
I'll let which. Oh, God.

483
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,920
Hallelujah.

484
00:43:48,920 --> 00:44:02,920
So which in Hebrew, it literally translates to praise Yahweh. That's it. It's literally just praise Yahweh, which is really cool. That's getting more and more common.

485
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:18,920
It's just I would say as a Christian use term in the sense that it that's what it's that's the original translation that is the translation for hallelujah. And that is what it means is just praise Yahweh. That's as simple as it gets.

486
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:33,920
And it's being used a lot, but it's it's being, I think, used more along the lines of like just praise or like as an expression rather than just like, Hallelujah.

487
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:44,920
I got, you know, I had my test. All right. It's good. It's like, yeah, but that's actually like that's that's almost I say it's like it's holy.

488
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:51,920
Word. Oh, yeah. And since it gets holy means to be set apart and that word is should be set apart.

489
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,920
I believe it's pretty important. Yeah. Yeah.

490
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,920
It's something literally giving praise to the Lord.

491
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:21,920
Like no other Lord Buddha, the crazy guy in the desert. Oh, my gosh. Joseph Smith, anybody like that. It's giving to the one true God or Mary of Kings, the Lord of Lord Jesus Christ Trinity three in one. Yeah.

492
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:33,920
Which is super important. You did remind me we definitely need to do an episode talking about the Trinity in general because it's obviously very complex and easy at the same time.

493
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:42,920
It's like with a mixture of the two, which, you know, would be really cool to talk about it because I've definitely on some of the forums I'm on on Facebook.

494
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:51,920
So groups will ask, like, what does it mean? Three in one. What does it mean? There's three, but there's only one. I don't understand if it's trying to. Yeah.

495
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:57,920
So that's that's another episode that will be coming. It is. I know we can use for the cover.

496
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:13,920
I think that's the only reason why I pointed out. All I knew was in the long run, it's just translation. That's really it. Just what's the translation for it?

497
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:33,920
It's good to look up the original Greek or Hebrew or Aramaic, depending on what scripture you're reading and see what the word itself is, because English is very limited in a sense to where which is a stinky language.

498
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:43,920
I'm doing the first grade. I'm doing first grade homework. My boy. Mm hmm. Just like I don't have. I don't have. I can't do it.

499
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:51,920
My wife does it. I'm silly when like, excuse me. I'm like, this is now on my English is dumb.

500
00:46:51,920 --> 00:47:05,920
English is so poopy. It's not the best. No, no. I will say I'm sorry. We're like, no. Yeah, no.

501
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:11,920
English is because like, you know, if you say if you say you love try to.

502
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:23,920
Right. For example. Yes. And then you say you love your wife. Is that love the same? I would assume. No, exactly what it is. You know what I mean?

503
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:45,920
So that that's my only point is that English English can be limited to a degree. So it's it's good to go back research, see what definitions are from original Hebrew, original Greek or Aramaic, depending on which verse or which section of Bible you're reading and to make sure that's in the context that it's talking about.

504
00:47:45,920 --> 00:48:03,920
Like when we are talking about specific versus like I might say, you know, let's talk about first Corinthians 1212 and then but 1212 the context is 12 to 27 because like we said before, the Bible isn't was never written with verses.

505
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:25,920
It was it was letters. It was scrolls. It was it was passages that were written about all this stuff and all the history and all these things that were documented and they weren't separated with verses like they are separated with verses now to make it easier for us to go through and reference stuff.

506
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:36,920
But if you go to like if you actually go to Israel and go over there, they actually have the Dead Sea Scrolls where you can go read them. And I'm sure you can find them online, too.

507
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:48,920
But if you go read them, it's an original language. It's not it's not actually separated like verse 12 verse 13 verse 14 chapter one.

508
00:48:48,920 --> 00:49:10,920
It's not separated like that. So it's just yeah. Yeah, that's why that's why I always say make sure that you understand the get a study Bible get study tools that show you this is the passage that's all one passage like for example, first Corinthians 1212 to 27 is one passage.

509
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:26,920
That's all one context and then you can read it that as a full because it's now fully in context. And if you are curious about a word, you go and find strong coordinates or something like that that explains the original Hebrew Greek wherever you're reading.

510
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:36,920
And it kind of helps you delve deeper into what this is trying to express or say. So that's why I always say do your own research.

511
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:47,920
Oh, like 100% with that because like I said, even though if you like you quote a verse like it's not on us, just take your word for it.

512
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:54,920
No, no, that's right. Yeah. If we say, yes, look it up for yourself.

513
00:49:54,920 --> 00:50:00,920
And if we're wrong, it's accountable and lovingly kind way or not.

514
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:09,920
I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, I agree. I 100% agree with that.

515
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:16,920
And then the next episode will come back. Yeah. What about that?

516
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:21,920
Tell us we are always right. You are wrong. We you're a listener.

517
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:27,920
Hmm. Yeah, we're joking. That's not the case. Yeah.

518
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:32,920
You know, we're right. No, I'm just joking.

519
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:37,920
No. Wow.

520
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:44,920
Okay. I miss this so much. Yeah, it's been a bit. It's been a little bit.

521
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:50,920
Almost like definitely needed this. So.

522
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:59,920
No, it's a fun one. This actually did scare away someone that I brought to youth group back when I was like 16, 15.

523
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:06,920
And okay. Back in the day, I brought someone who wasn't Christian and there were a friend of mine.

524
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:12,920
I was like, you should come to my youth group. It's a lot of fun. We have pizza Little Caesars. I mean, hot and ready is my bad.

525
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:23,920
And we hang out at homemade pizzas. Yeah, sometimes. Yeah. And I was like, yeah, it's really fun.

526
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:28,920
Like, I recommend coming like we're going to have pizza when I music and then it's like a lesson.

527
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:33,920
It's really cool. There's a lot of good people our age. So they came with with me.

528
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:45,920
And at the end of everything, the youth pastors at the time were like, okay, so anybody have a prayer request where we can pray for them, which is simple enough.

529
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:51,920
Like that's prayer requests. Everybody to a general knowledge. Most people would understand what that term is.

530
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:57,920
And they were like, oh, yeah, I have this prayer request. My mom's been going in and out of the hospital.

531
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:02,920
She has a lot of health issues and we're having a hard time. Like my dad's having a hard time supporting her, et cetera, et cetera.

532
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:10,920
And so the youth pastors like, OK, great. Let's lay hands on on them and we'll pray for it.

533
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:16,920
And they freaked like lay hands on like, what do you mean lay hands on? Because that's that's a Christian.

534
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:21,920
But the pack you out like lay hands on like they're like, what the this is weird.

535
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:38,920
I get that because you know what? Also, not being like being a Nazarene church, you know, like in the beginning of my ministry, you know, beginning of everything.

536
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:52,920
I never went to a church, you know, I was, you know, laying hands, speaking in tongues, anything like that. It was more.

537
00:52:52,920 --> 00:53:01,920
You know, so I remember that like the first time, you know, going to youth here with you guys, and I went like, oh, this is a little different.

538
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:10,920
People are talking weird and they're healing people. And well, I mean, yeah, yeah.

539
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:17,920
I mean, it's interesting because like you have a, you know, don't lay a hand on her like lay a hand on her.

540
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:24,920
That's a strong term like don't do it. And it's like as a Christian, it's like really easy if you grew up in a church.

541
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:30,920
It's just like, oh, yeah, lay hands on them. OK, but I learned hands and heal.

542
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:37,920
Right. Right. And we know that this comes from obviously the Bible when we see this.

543
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:50,920
And what was it? Mark 16, 17 through 18, where it literally says, and these signs will follow those who believe in my name.

544
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:57,920
They'll cast out demons. They'll speak with new tongues. They will take up serpents and that they drink anything deadly will not by means hurt them.

545
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:03,920
They will lay hands on the sick and they will recover. And we take that terminology there versus lay hands on them.

546
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,920
And we've just adopted it as like a generic hands on them.

547
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:13,920
They hands lay hands, my hands. But for someone who was an outsider, that person was legitimately kind of freaked out by it.

548
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:18,920
I was like, that felt really weird and strange. Everybody's sweaty hands touching me.

549
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:26,920
And I don't like being touched. But I learned from that because I learned from that.

550
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,920
Because at that time I was really like, oh, let me lay hands on you.

551
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:33,920
And I just like put my hand on people and try to pray. It wasn't a big deal.

552
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,920
It was like, well, now you get like, you know, it's like, hey, now I ask very much.

553
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,920
Now it's a church. Yeah. Now it's like, you mind if we lay hands on you?

554
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:52,920
It's like, oh, so even if it is weird, it's not like I really like if someone asked me like the other day, a friend of mine here was like, hey, can you pray for me?

555
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:56,920
I said, do you mind if I put my hand on your shoulder and pray for you? And they're like, no, go for it.

556
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:58,920
OK, so I just put my hand on his shoulder.

557
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:04,920
But I ask because if I'm just like, sure, man, put my hand on a shoulder and just start praying for him.

558
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,920
Maybe he doesn't like like being touched or you never know.

559
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:15,920
It's off putting. So you just got to ask because it's it's an easier way to like, I'm not going to do something that's uncomfortable to you.

560
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:20,920
Like, I'm not trying to make you uncomfortable. You mean not put you in a weird spot.

561
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:26,920
Right. And, you know, someone who grew up in the church for me, I was weird not doing that.

562
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:30,920
But then I realized this is how we do it.

563
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,920
Right. And so I learned from that.

564
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,920
You don't like it. Bummer.

565
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,920
I put my hands on you and I will I will heal you.

566
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:44,920
Oh, right. Right. Right.

567
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:51,920
It's just it's just it was a learning moment for me and that stuck with me since.

568
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:53,920
Yeah, definitely stuck with me since.

569
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:58,920
Where does it go out there? Make sure you ask to lay hands and pray.

570
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:00,920
They say, no, that's fine, too.

571
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:01,920
Just like, yeah, that's great.

572
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,920
And I mean, you know, that you grab them by the neck and you start praying really hard.

573
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,920
I'm just joking. I don't do that either.

574
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:10,920
This is this is a joke.

575
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:12,920
I'm not held responsible.

576
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:17,920
I claim that right now I hold no responsibility for anybody else.

577
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,920
Oh, my gosh. My child.

578
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,920
Make that a make that a shirt.

579
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:29,920
They resist the prayer, grab their neck and pray for them.

580
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:35,920
So the light goes out in their eyes and then you know, oh, my God, that's dark.

581
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,920
It's very dark. It got very dark.

582
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:42,920
Very dark. Very quick. Of course, it would be very dark because I mean, you can't.

583
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:46,920
Oh, you know, yo.

584
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,920
Uh huh.

585
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,920
That's that's that's no, we don't do that.

586
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,920
We took a hiatus and this is how we get canceled.

587
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:02,920
This is this is how we lose the one subscriber.

588
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,920
We get like five more. Well, I guess they were into that. OK, cool.

589
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:11,920
I think, oh, no. OK, moving on.

590
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:15,920
That's I gosh.

591
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:29,920
Um. Yeah, I think I think there's a lot of we I know that we did have an episode before where we talked about a little bit of Christian is, but we didn't get really into it because it was like one of our first episodes were just like, let's just talk about random stuff.

592
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:31,920
And that's what we talked about was random.

593
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:38,920
I mean, Mexico, let's do it. Yeah, let's do it. And it was very, very random and very, very all over the place.

594
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:43,920
But I think this has been a little bit better structured.

595
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,920
Yes, I would.

596
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:52,920
I would say another one is obviously saying body of Christ.

597
00:57:52,920 --> 00:58:01,920
Because if you're just like, this is the body of Christ and people are like, what is like, are they're new or they don't know what the Bible talks about?

598
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:06,920
Just blurting out like the body of Christ, the body of Christ.

599
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:17,920
My favorite thing is when people said the body of Christ and communion, communion is like Lord, Sefer Lord, you know, like, you know, like, you know, they talk about like, this is the body of Christ.

600
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:32,920
And I think that's the key to in remembrance of me for the kind of like, Jesus, like, I mean, I get we're not really but like, you know, like, and yeah, someone was like coming like the first time and hearing that it's like,

601
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:36,920
what is like?

602
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,920
Mm hmm.

603
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:41,920
You die.

604
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:47,920
No, it's a good point because it was it was great symbolism.

605
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:49,920
It's in Luke 22.

606
00:58:49,920 --> 00:59:00,920
I mean, any of the Gospels will talk about this when they were at the table and Jesus was talking about the bread and the wine and like his body and his blood, etc.

607
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:15,920
And it was it was him showing that it's it's a new covenant that his body is a sacrifice and he will spill the blood for this new covenant and that he was setting the premise that this new covenant would mean that they'd be poured.

608
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:17,920
The Holy Spirit would be poured out.

609
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:26,920
They would have the Holy Spirit to help them in their life, make their life pure before God and through the sacrifice and resurrection that Jesus made.

610
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:34,920
And that was the whole idea was was just that was just a symbolism like this is the new covenant.

611
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,920
This is this is now what's going to happen.

612
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,920
And obviously the disciples sitting there like, what is he talking about?

613
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:46,920
We don't know what he means, but this is my body and this is the blood that poured out.

614
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:47,920
What is he talking about?

615
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,920
Because they didn't see the future bread and wine.

616
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:51,920
Right.

617
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:56,920
Jesus obviously being somebody's been too much into the one.

618
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:57,920
Right.

619
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:02,920
And we know that Jesus being God in the flesh is sitting there like, I know what's going to happen.

620
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:08,920
I'm going to die and set a new covenant and the Holy Spirit will be as a gift for those who follow me.

621
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:13,920
And and the disciples are sitting there like, hmm, this has to be a metaphor.

622
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:15,920
This has to be one.

623
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:17,920
I keep doing it.

624
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:18,920
It might be.

625
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:19,920
This is a different parable.

626
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:34,920
This parable like and you and that's kind of the crazy part is it's funny and interesting because you'll see like Jesus will say before the days that like over, you'll deny me three times over.

627
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,920
I was Peter and Peter's like, never do that.

628
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:38,920
Never. I would never do that.

629
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:46,920
And then when he did it, it like hit him in the gut where he was like, he knew.

630
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:48,920
And then everything clicked.

631
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:49,920
He was like, wait a minute.

632
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:50,920
Everything makes sense now.

633
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,920
He's like, everything he said up to this point makes sense now.

634
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:58,920
And it hit him and he freaking ran and you'll betray me.

635
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:00,920
Is it me, Lord?

636
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,920
Yeah, they didn't know.

637
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:04,920
Oh, Peter, it's not you.

638
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:06,920
You remember that?

639
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:07,920
Yeah.

640
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,920
Yeah, I saw the video.

641
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:11,920
Yeah, I saw it.

642
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:18,920
It was a comedian, like it was, you know, I think he was Hawkins.

643
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:20,920
Tim Hawkins.

644
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,920
I think it might have been Tim Hawkins where he was going like it was.

645
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:25,920
He's going to betray me.

646
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:26,920
It's like, it's me.

647
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:28,920
No, Peter, it's not you.

648
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:30,920
Is it me?

649
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:31,920
John.

650
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:32,920
Is it me?

651
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:33,920
Is it me, Judas?

652
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,920
Yeah.

653
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:42,920
It was really funny to go watch his comedy skits.

654
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:43,920
It's funny.

655
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:45,920
He's a funny guy.

656
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,920
Yeah, I think I've seen a once in concert.

657
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,920
I know I haven't.

658
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:53,920
I know I haven't, but he's funny.

659
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,920
But you did mention communion.

660
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,920
That's everything we just mentioned with that.

661
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:06,920
So we covered the body of Christ in that sense, as well as communion.

662
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:16,920
Body of Christ also can be a metaphor in the sense of the people of the church, like the actual individual people that make up the body of Christ.

663
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:24,920
And if you don't know the reference, it's 1 Corinthians 12, 12 through 27, as I was talking about earlier as an example, because I didn't want to forget it.

664
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:30,920
But it's literally just talking about how the body has many different parts to it.

665
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,920
You have your hand, but your hand can't do what your foot can.

666
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,920
You have your foot, but your foot can't do what the ear can.

667
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:38,920
You have an ear, but it can't taste anything like your mouth can.

668
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,920
And they have all these different functions.

669
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:42,920
Can't?

670
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:43,920
Right.

671
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:44,920
Can't.

672
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:48,920
Don't believe me, I can.

673
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,920
And it was like we're all given the same spirit.

674
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,920
If we follow Christ, we're given the Holy Spirit.

675
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:57,920
Yeah, we're given the Holy Spirit.

676
01:02:57,920 --> 01:02:58,920
All gave.

677
01:02:58,920 --> 01:02:59,920
All gave in the same.

678
01:02:59,920 --> 01:03:00,920
All given.

679
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:01,920
Not gave it, given.

680
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:02,920
My bad.

681
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:03,920
Given.

682
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,920
I don't know why I have to razz you.

683
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:07,920
It's fine.

684
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:12,920
I definitely recommend reading 1 Corinthians 12, 12 through 27.

685
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:13,920
That's the passage.

686
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:14,920
That's the in context passage.

687
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:16,920
And it talks about it.

688
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,920
It's not like I can say to the hand, I don't need you.

689
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:22,920
And then the head can't say the feet, I don't need you.

690
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:24,920
And they all work together.

691
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:25,920
Right.

692
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:26,920
Otherwise, they're weaker.

693
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:27,920
The body's weaker.

694
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:34,920
So it just remembering that like you and me might interact differently with some people,

695
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:35,920
but we're given the same spirit.

696
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:42,920
So when it comes down to it, even as individuals who talk different, who act different, who

697
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,920
are individuals, we're given the same spirit.

698
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,840
The life around us, the people around us, and what we experience should be the same,

699
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:53,920
which is the Holy Spirit itself, which is the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,

700
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,920
goodness, faithless and gentleness and self control.

701
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:01,920
If people experience that around you from your life, and then you live that lifestyle,

702
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:05,920
that is from the Holy Spirit, which again, Galatians 5 talks about that.

703
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:14,920
But that is the visual or the actionable representation of Christ in our lives through the Holy Spirit.

704
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,920
And so that is a consistency in following Christ.

705
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:22,920
And if you actually do accept Christ, you'll see that consistently through those people.

706
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,920
So it's a really easy check the box.

707
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,920
Like, well, they don't have peace.

708
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:29,920
They're not making peace.

709
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:31,920
They don't love people.

710
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:32,920
They're very hatred.

711
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:33,920
They're very angry there.

712
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:38,920
Whatever it is, you can check the box when it comes to what the Holy Spirit looks like.

713
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:46,920
And you only have the Holy Spirit if you're saved and you're saved because you accept Christ and you follow Christ.

714
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,920
That's what Christian means is to follow Christ.

715
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:51,920
Just like.

716
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:52,920
Yeah.

717
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:59,920
So that's kind of what the body, when churches or people talk about body of Christ,

718
01:04:59,920 --> 01:05:06,920
it's the individual believer who follow Jesus Christ and his teachings and who he wants us to be.

719
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:12,920
And living that lifestyle with the Holy Spirit.

720
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:23,920
And it might look different in the sense that I might be very patient or you might be extra loving or someone else might be more than like like.

721
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:29,920
In gentle, you know, and you see these qualities of the Holy Spirit, we're given the same Holy Spirit.

722
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:34,920
And you might be exuding one of the traits of the Holy Spirit more than the other.

723
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:36,920
And that's for sure.

724
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:43,920
That's gifting, which you talked about in one of our early episodes.

725
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:51,920
And that's really what it's going to come down to is that if you're like over here being Mr.

726
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:56,920
Peaceful and you're always peaceful and you always have peace around you and people always feel peace around you.

727
01:05:56,920 --> 01:06:01,920
And I'm over here like, that's not how you do it.

728
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,920
Why can't you be more like your brother?

729
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,920
Why can't you be more like your brother?

730
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:12,920
It's that that's we're all from the same Holy Spirit.

731
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:13,920
We all follow Christ.

732
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:19,920
So you might have the gift in the Holy Spirit or you're stronger in one of them or the other.

733
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,920
Like someone's better at gifting things like they want to give to people, take care of people.

734
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:25,920
We talked about that, too.

735
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:27,920
That's a common thing.

736
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:36,920
Yeah, there's like people who are there to serve others and who are very called to it and are very good at it because they're in tuned with that with who God is.

737
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:49,920
And then there's others who are very in tune with studying, who reading and knowledge of the Word of God and scripture and are there to be teachers or preaching.

738
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:57,920
And there are others who are who are called to just just be loving, being able to go out and see people hurting.

739
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,920
Like, hey, how can I how can I help you?

740
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:01,920
Like I see you're hurting.

741
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:02,920
Do you need someone to talk to?

742
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:07,920
Like I'm like even with friends and family, he was like, hey, I'm always here.

743
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:08,920
Doors always open.

744
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,920
Like I'm always here if you need someone to just talk to.

745
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:16,920
And there's there's different expressions of this and you can see some are better than others.

746
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:17,920
And that's OK.

747
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:20,920
There's different parts, parts of the body of Christ.

748
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:21,920
Like we have different roles.

749
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:22,920
That's great.

750
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:23,920
That's gifting the Holy Spirit.

751
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,920
We're stronger in other fields than others.

752
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:28,920
We do fall short.

753
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:29,920
We will fall short.

754
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:35,920
But that's where God picks us up again and strengthens us through the next time we get tempted or we fall.

755
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,920
And that's just kind of the cool thing with this.

756
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:52,920
This relationship is that we understand what we need to do, when we need to do it and how we need to do it based upon what the word says and continue through.

757
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:54,920
So.

758
01:07:54,920 --> 01:08:00,920
Yeah.

759
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:01,920
And God is good.

760
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:11,920
Like.

761
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:16,920
Even though we're going through things and.

762
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:20,920
Everything it's just like, you know.

763
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:28,920
And covered in the blood of Christ and having those quiet times and seeing all these things like it's really just.

764
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:34,920
It's all are important things, even though they're these Christian these things.

765
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:40,920
They all make sense.

766
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,920
Oh man.

767
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:48,920
Just that, you know.

768
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:50,920
It's been rough.

769
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:52,920
Just thinking about that more and more.

770
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:54,920
Like it's not been easy.

771
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:56,920
And.

772
01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,920
No, it won't be.

773
01:08:59,920 --> 01:09:01,920
Oh, um.

774
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,920
I think God's got a plan.

775
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:06,920
Mm hmm.

776
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:09,920
And.

777
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,920
I'm just thinking about it more and more.

778
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,920
Just like with everything that was said.

779
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:17,920
God is really good.

780
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:18,920
And.

781
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:24,920
And we have all of our little Christian these things that we say.

782
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,920
No, I just.

783
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,920
I think it just comes back to what I was saying earlier.

784
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:44,920
It's just knowing that if you following Christ and believing in Christ, we're not trying to be clicky that we shouldn't be trying to be clicky and create clicks within our groups like, oh, I don't understand what you just said.

785
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,920
Oh, well, you need to know more.

786
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,920
We should make it more accessible.

787
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:54,920
Easier to understand.

788
01:09:54,920 --> 01:10:03,920
Better explained, more accurate to what we're trying to say instead of trying to shorten everything and make it easier to like, oh, no, I get what I get what you're saying.

789
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:05,920
It's not like it's wrong.

790
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:06,920
It's not like it's a sin or anything.

791
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:26,920
And if we want to make it easier for newcomers or people who are curious about God, it's easier to talk with a better, more accurate and better understanding of it by simplifying it in the sense that's accurate.

792
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:37,920
Yes. Simplifying the sense it's accurate, not just simplifying. So other Christians will like, oh, I know what you're hinting at. Explain it. Say it.

793
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:42,920
Don't be around the edge of protection.

794
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:44,920
Yeah, it comes down to it.

795
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:56,920
It's the importance of knowing and be able to spread the word and tell people about the word.

796
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,920
Even if it is with Christianese words and stuff.

797
01:10:59,920 --> 01:11:17,920
So like that's the main important part. Even with the Christianese that we look at.

798
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:23,920
Not all words and all the Christian stuff make sense even to some Christians.

799
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:27,920
True, true.

800
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:36,920
It's more important to say maybe not simplify it to the point where it makes sense.

801
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:40,920
But not taking away either from the word.

802
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:42,920
Right. I agree.

803
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,920
That's the most important thing.

804
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:47,920
Keep true to the word.

805
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:58,920
And it's important thing with Christian, with other Christianese sayings is that sometimes simplify it too much or even it gets lost on others who don't know.

806
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:02,920
I think that's the most important thing we can take from Christianese.

807
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:06,920
You know, all the things that, Christianese is a Christianese word in itself.

808
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:07,920
It is.

809
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:09,920
You know.

810
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:10,920
Yeah.

811
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:19,920
You know, sayings that have been, you know, and even it's good to normalize little sayings too.

812
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:21,920
Sure.

813
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:25,920
Just, yeah.

814
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,920
Just filling off now.

815
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,920
Well, hey, this is your episode.

816
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:38,920
No, it's just still times where it kind of hits in a little bit.

817
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:40,920
Yeah, I hear you.

818
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:47,920
And talk a lot more about sharing anything, but yeah.

819
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:50,920
But the real thing that happened, but yeah.

820
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:51,920
Yeah.

821
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,920
I think you say it's all I could do right now at this point.

822
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:55,920
Just leave it at that.

823
01:12:55,920 --> 01:13:07,920
And I'd say if you could, you know, anybody listening, it could be just be praying for me and my wife.

824
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:13,920
A little bit of a health thing come up.

825
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:18,920
Just, you know, there'd be healing there and you'd be okay.

826
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:19,920
And then I'd be okay.

827
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:20,920
We're all good now.

828
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:21,920
Yeah.

829
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:25,920
It's more just the mental stuff that we're dealing with.

830
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:28,920
And getting back into the regularness.

831
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:32,920
It did not help starting a brand new job with everything.

832
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:33,920
Right.

833
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:46,920
But yeah, I eventually maybe I'll make a post or I'll let you guys know what happened.

834
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:49,920
But right now it's still just a little too raw.

835
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:51,920
A little more too raw.

836
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,920
Yeah, it's all good.

837
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:59,920
And then I don't want to tell you guys, but, you know, it's not just my own thing to share.

838
01:13:59,920 --> 01:14:01,920
It's my wife's too.

839
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:04,920
Right.

840
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:05,920
Yeah.

841
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:11,920
So I think I just if we could just end it with this is you want to pray us out, Jason?

842
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:12,920
It's your episode.

843
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:14,920
I'm doing next week.

844
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:15,920
Okay.

845
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:17,920
We pray then.

846
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:20,920
Heavenly Father, thank you for this day.

847
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:25,920
For all that you do for us, Lord, and provide for us, Lord.

848
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:30,920
I pray for your will to be done.

849
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:39,920
I pray for everyone here who's listening, Lord, that you would.

850
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,920
You would bless them, Lord.

851
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:49,920
And I just pray that you would be with Jason and I as we prep for the next episode, Lord.

852
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,920
I pray for hedge protection over everyone, Lord.

853
01:14:52,920 --> 01:15:00,920
Keep us safe in our walk, Lord. Challenge us at the same time.

854
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:07,920
Thank you for the opportunity that we have to share your word and talk.

855
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:09,920
And spread your word and for this in your name.

856
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:12,920
Amen.

857
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:14,920
All righty.

858
01:15:14,920 --> 01:15:15,920
Okay.

859
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,920
Well, I'll see you on the flipity flop.

860
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:23,920
Bye.

861
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:50,920
Bye.
