She knows how to debate. 152 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000 She was very well rehearsed. 153 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000 She was trying to be coached. Yeah, rehearsed. 154 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,000 Whereas Trump is a businessman, probably – and we know he's not good at debating. 155 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000 And he's a straight shooter. He's a straight shooter. 156 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000 He's not even playing around. So, yeah, it's going to be different. 157 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000 And he's so busy always defending himself. 158 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,000 Yeah. 159 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,000 Well, he's so busy doing 44 interviews since Kamala came out to say she's running for office. 160 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000 And she's not done – 161 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000 She's spoken to the press seven times total. 162 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Oh, okay. I didn't thought it was zero. 163 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000 No, not even interviews. Just little – 164 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,000 Somebody caught her walking somewhere seven times, 44 times because he's so engaged. 165 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000 And he's actually campaigning. He's actually out on the campaign trail, packing arenas 166 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,000 without having to bus and ship people in to make it look like everybody's for you. 167 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000 So, it's true. Okay, so all I'm going to say on that. 168 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000 Let's keep moving forward. 169 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,000 I want to get bogged down on this because I'm really excited about our topic today. 170 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,000 And it's this.

can go back in the archives. 225 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000 Read today's because it's important. 226 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,000 Thank you. 227 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,000 Because of what today is. 228 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000 Thank you, thank you. 229 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,000 Now, that's different. 230 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,000 I didn't post that. 231 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,000 That's not my blog. 232 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,000 That's just one thing I did. 233 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,000 Okay. 234 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,000 I did two things. 235 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,000 I did my actual – it's called the daily grind or the morning grind. 236 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000 I saw the one about what today represents. 237 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000 You saw the one. 238 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,000 Okay. 239 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000 So, let's talk a little bit about that because I think that's really important. 240 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,000 Yes, it is. 241 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,000 Today is called Patriot Day, not Patriot's Day because Patriot's Day is another federal 242 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,000 holiday. 243 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000 Patriot Day is not a federal holiday. 244 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000 Which should be, really. 245 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,000 But it was a day – George W. back in 2002 declared this day, September 11th, Patriot 246 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:12,000 Day, to remember those who lost their lives at 9-11, ground zero. 247 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,000 And that was – that day will always go down in history. 248 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000 It's just a marker for my generation. 249 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:28,000 Well, and last week we watched the Netflix series on 9-11 and in depth. 250 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000 Powerful. 251 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:36,000 And it really – for those of you who don't really know what happened, it's a great series 252 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000 to go watch on Netflix because it will enlighten you. 253 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,000 It's good. 254 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000 This new generation doesn't know about 9-11. 255 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000 I remember – 256 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000 For our generation it's a reminder. 257 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,000 For the next generation it's this is what happened and why you have to go through TSA 258 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000 at the airport. 259 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000 I remember talking to a – 260 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000 A lot of different things have changed. 261 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,000 I remember talking to a family member and they told me that another family member was 262 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000 married to someone who was home schooled their whole life. 263 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:12,000 But that was never brought up, that event, which marked why we have extra security at 264 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000 the airport, why you have to take off your shoes, why you have to take out your computer. 265 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,000 If you were raised post-9-11, it's normal for you to go through TSA security and all 266 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000 that. 267 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,000 Yes. 268 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000 But our generation is like, really? 269 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000 We've got to do this again? 270 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,000 Yes. 271 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000 But it's because of 9-11. 272 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000 It is. 273 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,000 I think it's important for people to know our history and what's happened. 274 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,000 So yes, for sure. 275 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000 Let me let – 276 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,000 Adam, that is not our noise gate. 277 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,000 That's our producer I'm talking to, our executive producer. 278 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000 That's Annette's phone. 279 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,000 My phone just went off. 280 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,000 Right next to her microphone. 281 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000 Yeah. 282 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,000 Last week he said, you need to cut your threshold on your noise gate. 283 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,000 You're popping a little bit. 284 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,000 I'm popping a little bit. 285 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,000 And I did that by the way. 286 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000 Because we're at work, people at work are needing me and I'm like, podcast. 287 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,000 Podcast, podcast. 288 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000 We actually have an on-air sign outside of our office, but nobody ever looks at it. 289 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,000 Our intercom, because our offices are all spread out throughout the building, or our 290 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,000 phones, so people call. 291 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,000 That's true. 292 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000 And so I have some podcasts. 293 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,000 So 9-11 was very enlightening. 294 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,000 So let's go back to that day, because we both remember where we are. 295 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,000 And today is the anniversary. 296 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,920 Today is the anniversary, so we call it Patriot Day. 297 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,400 We were in Midland. 298 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:32,200 We had just come to Midland to work as you were running a foster care agency. 299 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:37,200 Kind of took a hiatus from, you've taken a couple hiatus from ministry, but did ministry. 300 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,200 From church ministry. 301 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,200 From church ministry. 302 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,200 But your ministry never changed. 303 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,200 Right. 304 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,200 It just, who you minister to changed. 305 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,200 Whether it was a church or being employed by a faith-based organization. 306 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:53,120 I think it's important that pastors have an interest in business, and realize that that 307 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,120 is ministry, not always. 308 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,720 Real-world experience, not just church. 309 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,320 Yeah, you can relate to people. 310 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,680 Wow, that's so helpful. 311 00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:02,000 That are not in ministry, because you've lived it. 312 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,280 And so I think a lot of pastors just go from school right to that, and they don't know 313 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:14,240 how to relate to the business world, because they don't understand how taxing their life 314 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,240 is. 315 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,720 And for me, that was really good for us. 316 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:25,320 But we took about a year and worked in Midland, and I remember, I don't know if someone told 317 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,320 us to turn the TV on. 318 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,320 No, I think I was... 319 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,320 We were probably... 320 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,960 No, remember, okay, in my office, because I worked out of my home at that point, we 321 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,300 had not reopened the new office. 322 00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:38,160 So I actually had the luxury of being at home with my baby daughter, which was amazing for 323 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,160 that first year. 324 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,560 And I was home with you, because I worked with you. 325 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,560 So Faith, who's 24 now, was a year old. 326 00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:44,560 A year old. 327 00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:50,880 So I had a little tiny TV, little black and white TV that was in my office, and I didn't 328 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,000 always keep it on, but for whatever reason, it was on. 329 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,320 Or maybe I was online and somebody texted me or something, or I saw it. 330 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,660 But I turned the TV on. 331 00:13:00,660 --> 00:13:07,440 The first plane had hit Building 1, and we were watching it horrified. 332 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,760 And the media was thinking this was just a twin-engine plane, so we were like... 333 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:12,760 At first. 334 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:19,720 But then when we heard what was actually happening, we turned our big TV on, went in the living 335 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,640 room, and I think we were in there for 12 hours watching. 336 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,640 All day long. 337 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,640 All day long. 338 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:26,640 All day long, glued to the TV. 339 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:27,640 I don't know what Faith was doing. 340 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,640 I mean, she was a year old. 341 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:29,640 What were we doing with her? 342 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:30,640 I'm sure we were taking turns, but... 343 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:31,640 Oh my gosh. 344 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,320 It was one of those days where it just marks your life. 345 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,320 It does. 346 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:40,320 You just know in that moment, because we watched the second plane fly in live, we saw that. 347 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,320 We were just in shock. 348 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,200 We were in Building 2. 349 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,280 And then we heard about there's another something going on in Pennsylvania. 350

Listen, we have people who listen to our 793 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:21,640 podcasts in Nepal, in Indonesia, Malaysia, all over the world in hard places. 794 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,960 I was looking at where our podcasts are being listened to and downloaded from. 795 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,760 You know what number one download lately is? 796 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:28,760 Nepal. 797 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:29,760 Nepal. 798 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:30,760 Which is unbelievable. 799 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,120 It's harder, hard, hard, hard situations. 800 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,880 That's where the gospel's exploding. 801 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:41,160 Here in America, my prayer has been, Lord, I see all these outbreaks, but like a Texas 802 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:47,240 thunderstorm, you can have scattered showers, but when those storm systems come together, 803 00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:51,240 they converge, they come together, that's when they get powerful. 804 00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:54,320 I've been praying for a long time, Lord, bring them together, bring them together. 805 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,080 I feel like... I didn't hear an audible voice. 806 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,080 I don't hear that. 807 00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,960 I wish I did, but I don't. 808 00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:07,760 I don't get that level of clarity, but I feel like, I think, and I'm saying it this way, 809 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:13,120 and I'm beginning to believe this, that God is not letting it all coalesce into one big 810 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:19,520 movement because in the past, when revivals have coalesced, man has gotten in and they've 811 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:20,520 monetized it. 812 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:26,240 They start writing songs about it and selling CDs, and the music industry gets involved. 813 00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:29,320 They start packaging sermons and sending them out. 814 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,680 People in Pensacola, Florida, here's the sermon series, and all of a sudden, it turns into 815 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:34,680 an industry. 816 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:40,400 I mean, even at Asbury, as it began to grow, people began to flock there by the thousands, 817 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:46,960 and the young people at Asbury and some of the... had the presence of mind to tell celebrities 818 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:47,960 to stay away. 819 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:48,960 Stay away. 820 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:53,720 Even the big celebrity preachers like others who were actually asked to come said, I'm 821 00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:57,820 not going to come because it's just a grassroots movement. 822 00:36:57,820 --> 00:36:59,680 It's happening with young people. 823 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:00,680 We're old. 824 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:01,680 We'd mess it up. 825 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:06,760 And so, there is a sense where I believe that God is staying His hand in terms of converging 826 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,480 all these movements. 827 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,320 I think- Well, we have thought that it was never going to look like it used to. 828 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,320 Exactly. 829 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,320 I've said this for years. 830 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,080 I believe we're in the third great awakening right now. 831 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,120 Because you read, and we actually heard Tim Barton- 832 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,720 Tim Barton from Wall Builders. 833 00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:25,720 He was talking to Rick Green on his show, and he said, no. 834 00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:28,080 He was talking to Alan- Pastor Alan Jackson. 835 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:33,400 Pastor Alan Jackson on his show, and he said, the people that were in the first and second 836 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,440 great awakenings didn't even know it was a great awakening until later. 837 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,440 Didn't even know. 838 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:39,440 Didn't even know. 839 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,720 So, we're probably in it and don't know. 840 00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:41,720 I think we are. 841 00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:42,720 I really believe that. 842 00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:44,560 And only as few people do recognize it. 843 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,600 Well, when I share this with people, they have an aha moment. 844 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,840 They go, oh my gosh, I see it. 845 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,200 But unless somebody kind of says it, unless you have a template for it, I was thinking 846 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,360 that before I heard Tim Barton say it. 847 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:57,360 For me, that was confirmation. 848 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:58,360 It was confirmation. 849 00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,360 Right. 850 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,360 I'm like, I so agree. 851 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,000 He was saying it from a historical perspective. 852 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,960 I'm saying it from a spiritual practical perspective. 853 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,440 So, wherever you are in the world right now, I want you to open your eyes because there 854 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:14,240 is a great awakening happening across the globe right now, and we need to celebrate 855 00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:16,680 it and be thankful for what God's doing. 856 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,360 Let me interject this. 857 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,600 I believe Dallas Jenkins with the Chosen is part of this because of- 858 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,160 Oh, catalytic for sure. 859 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:29,400 He's bringing, he's getting the gospel out to where people can actually see it instead 860 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,920 of just read it. 861 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,160 Movies like The Forge, we went to see The Forge last Friday. 862 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:36,160 Powerful. 863 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,160 Amazing movie. 864 00:38:37,160

00:38:44,040 Of course, it was a Friday at 2.30. 868 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,040 Right. 869 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,520 But it was a powerful movie. 870 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,640 We were actually going to see Reagan, which we haven't got to see. 871 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:51,640 Go see The Forge. 872 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,520 And it was sold out, and I said, let's see The Forge. 873 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,720 It should have been sold out because it was phenomenal. 874 00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:01,000 It was phenomenal. 875 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:06,920 So I would encourage you, but I love that the Kendrick Brothers, Dallas Jenkins and 876 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:15,480 others, Kevin Sorbo and others, D.R.
