We'll be right back.
Don't get down when you're seeing the worst.
Because the last will be the first.
What a day I'm telling you.
All things will be new.
Living up in a down world.
Yeah we're living, yeah we're living.
Living up in a down world.
Oh!
This is Jimmy and Annette and we are coming to you live from the
Living Up in a Down World Studio.
You said it right.
I said it right.
Livingupinadownworld.com
We're not live though.
Well we're not technically live.
We're alive right now.
We're alive, well barely.
We've had a rough weekend.
It's very early right now.
I have my deep morning voice.
Are you on your second or third cup?
No, I'm just starting my
second cup of Black Rifle coffee.
And you're like, we're doing this now!
I know, well because
we had a little faux pas this morning
because you didn't look at your phone to go pick up Faith.
And I was already at the church.
I didn't know I was supposed to pick up Faith.
So we were running and gunning.
No.
I had a low tire.
And when you're driving and you see
low tire as a female,
that's like fear
comes into me. Like wait, what if we have
So what I had to do is
I held on to the
steering wheel because I thought if something were to happen
I need to have my hands
tightly gripped.
Bless your little old heart.
I've seen people that just go out of control
because we're on a highway driving in.
So luckily it was just one pound low.
No big deal.
Because we got
a rental car
last year and we started
to get in it and we saw a flat tire.
Which they should have caught that.
Hello. It was literal.
So that was going through my mind.
So I'm thinking, okay.
So I didn't look at my phone
because you know why?
Because I'm a careful defensive
driver.
I know you're laughing.
I am. I'm trying to be
aware of
my surroundings.
Just aware of my surroundings because
too many accidents on
our big highway that we have
to drive every day.
All of that to say. We were going to come in
and go, okay we got 30 minutes.
We're going to record. We have 30 minutes.
And then it was like, oh somebody's
got to go pick up Faith. Oh I'll do
it. Oh take my car.
I need to get some stuff done.
So anyway, that was our morning.
We're here. We're here.
And I am pumped up.
I'm so excited about what God's up to.
Revival is not coming. Revival is
here. We're seeing God move
on so many levels.
Not just in our church but in people all
around us and other situations and
scenarios. Even across the United
States, across the world. As
Lynn, SCS Lewis Wright,
is on the move. And we're
moving with Him. That's what's exciting about
being a follower of Jesus.
Is that you actually get on board
with Him. We don't generate the waves.
We just catch them as they come by
so to speak. So it's not like you're gritting
your teeth and trying harder. It's
literally you're just getting in
you're joining God in His work.
Henry T. Blackaby from the
great study Experiencing God
says that we watch to see where
God's working. And when you do see the
activity of God, it's His invitation
to join Him in
His work. And so you realign
yourself with Him and you join Him
in His work. That's how simple it is
to know the will of God.
Well and I love that
we have redefined
revival.
Because in the past, revival
has always been you have these
revival services and then you hope
people are revived. And they're
they are for the moment but it doesn't
last. And what we are seeing
is people are reviving
their heart individually.
And then it becomes collective.
And so we're seeing
people that were
nominal Christians, very
complacent, on
fire all of a sudden and just
saying I'm willing to do whatever
it takes now. And I think it's exciting.
Well and you look at our world
and you have one of
two choices. You either join
the world and you be in
fear and you
be in constant stress
or you say you know what?
What about Jesus?
What can He do? And what can
He do for me? And what can I do
for Him? And that it's changing
people's lives. I love that
because what it does it actually
rises above. It goes above
and beyond what's going on in
the current circumstance. Right. Like
whatever the political, whichever
way the political winds are blowing
and my gosh they're swirling right now.
Two weeks from yesterday.
No, three weeks from yesterday. Three weeks from yesterday.
Two weeks from Tuesday. Pivotal
election for the United States and for our
friends that are in all other nations
and other places. Pray
for us. Pray for America.
America really is the last
bastion of freedom and if we lose
this, a lot of those freedoms
are going to go away. And where
will people go? Where do
you go? If you desire
freedom, you desire free enterprise,
you desire the ability to
own your own car and your own property.
If that all goes away, where does
anyone go? People
aren't trying to get in and out of Russia right now.
They're not trying to cross the border into
Russia or into
Ukraine or
Brazil.
I mean they are trying to get into
America and unfortunately our border
situation is pretty dire right now.
But anyway, back to the back. You keep touching a book.
Yeah, yes. It's a Kirk Cameron's book.
So I'll switch gears for a sec.
Kirk Cameron just released a book
called Born to Be Brave.
What does it mean?
He says this. He actually uses
the Lion King
story.
Where Mufasa,
the father,
the lion, the great lion,
has a son and his son actually
ends up going off to another
place and is raised apart
from a kingdom that's in war.
And there's an evil
villain
lion that's trying to
fight to win. Sounds interesting.
Oh, it's very, very
parallel to the Gospel story.
It sure is. In the Bible.
Well, C.S. Lewis. Hello.
The key thing is that
Simba, the young lion,
he doesn't even know who he is.
He doesn't even know
that he's the son of a king.
And that he's actually an heir
to a kingdom. But he doesn't
know it until a prophetic
monkey comes along.
I say prophetic. Kirk Cameron says
the monkey figure is kind of like
a prophet. He comes and says
you don't know who you are, do you?
That sounds like Toy Story. It does. It sounds like a lot
of stories. It's a story arc.
It's a familiar story arc and
narrative. But I love the way Kirk
mines that out. It was just such a reminder
as I was reading chapter one
this morning of how
we sometimes forget
that we're the son of a king.
We're the daughter of a king. We're the
children of a king. We're
king's kids. It was such a
reminder. So born to
be brave, he uses that
story to say this young lion
was actually born to be a king.
Born to be brave. So it's time
for us to step up. Absolutely.
As followers of Jesus, when we begin
to understand our true identity,
we are born to be brave.
And what a time to be brave,
right? In a time when our freedoms
are being threatened.
As Christians in
America, we're being marginalized.
Many times we've marginalized ourselves.
We've pulled ourselves out of
the public square, to use your favorite word,
capitulated.
We've capitulated and given
over to the enemy
and just said, oh you know what, we're just
going to go over here and have our little Bible studies.
We're going to go over here and have our
church. And keep everything to ourself.
And you do your stuff and we'll do ours.
And get fat as a tick.
Wow.
You used to give that
illustration a lot. I know.
And what happens though? Touch your boy.
What happens with a tick? They blow up.
They blow up. Yep.
It's a bloody mess. It is.
But that's what happens with Christians.
We marginalize ourselves. We take ourselves out
of the public square. We're no longer involved.
You know what this sounds like? Hitler
told one of the
top pastors in Germany
right before he became
Chancellor. He was saying, hey you
Christians go over there.
I'll go over here. Just keep to yourself.
We're going to let you be. We're not going to mess with you.
We're glad you're here.
And then it all changed afterwards.
And when that pastor came back
to talk with Hitler after
he became Chancellor and the Third Reich
came into power
and began to dominate Germany and then
began to take in other countries,
he sat down with him and
Hitler said, who do you think you are?
I mean totally flipped.
It was a total lie.
Well obviously Hitler was
mentally ill. But he
also knew what he was doing because he
planned it. Right. And so
yeah. All that to say the church
lost their voice. They capitulated.
Because he said, if you'll stay
over there and run in your lane, we'll
stay over here and run in our lane. We
don't mind each other's business.
Which reminds me of the
movie. Well the movie,
I don't know if you call it a movie,
we watched. Cory Tim Boom.
Oh the play. It was kind of a play
adapted for the screen.
It was a play adapted for the screen.
The person who played
Cory Tim Boom
was on Alan Jackson's podcast.
Fantastic podcast.
We started to watch the podcast when
she was talking. Yes, she was talking
about her role and
what it meant to her
to play Cory Tim Boom.
If you don't know who that is,
go online and read her story.
Well the short version is... Well wait.
Let me say this first. But
we were so enamored
by the things she was saying
at the beginning of this podcast.
She did make a statement
that there was
you could get it on
streaming. The
actual play. And so we
watched that on
Apple TV the other night.
And we were both just crying.
And then
we finished the podcast because we
wanted to see what she was talking about.
It was so good.
When Nan switched into her Danish voice
and quoted
Cory Tim Boom in that voice.
Talk about who she is
and what she did.
Well Cory Tim Boom,
she was a watchmaker. Her dad,
she came from a long line of
watchmakers. Her family ran
a watch store in
the Netherlands.
For a hundred years.
Her father was aged.
He was in his
80s.
What happened was when the Third Reich,
Hitler invaded the Netherlands
in what 1930 I believe it was.
When that happened,
or the 30s, when that happened
their whole
life changed.
And as followers of
Jesus they felt like we
have a responsibility to take care of the
Jewish people.
They loved the Jews.
They loved people and they loved God's
people. And they began
to, they created what they called The Hiding
Place. And it was a false
wall. And there is a movie from 1975 called
The Hiding Place. You can actually rent it.
Her autobiography is called The Hiding
Place. It's a famous book.
Great book. Tells her whole story.
I want to go back and watch that. I want to go read the book
actually. Her original book.
So, her
family housed
Jewish people who were being chased
down by the Gestapo,
by the Third Reich police trying to
they were trying to eliminate and
eradicate. They were taking them off to
these horrific places.
These camps. And that's
a nice name for them. They were death camps.
What was remarkable is they
hid over 800
Jews in a two year period.
In their little house.
The room that they were hiding them in.
So, like they always had
hosted people. So, their home
and their shop, which was
connected to their home, was a revolving
door. So, it wasn't unusual to see
people coming and going at the
at the
at their household. And
so, the ten booms.
The ten boom household. T-E-N-B-O-O-M.
Two words. It's kind of an odd
name. So,
so, the Gestapo
didn't think that much about it because it was just typical.
But, turns out they were Jewish
people that they were housing. And they called
them watches. Yeah, yeah. Are the watches
here? When are the watches coming?
Or they'd get a phone call and it'd be
I have some unusual watches
for you. She'd say, well, send them
on over. And so, and then
her brother would take them
to another safe house.
To try to get them out of the country.
And to safety. Over
800 were saved. I can't even imagine.
What a remarkable story.
But, to hear Nan
Gurley talk about playing
her. She studied her since she was a
teenager. Since she was 20, she said.
And Nan's probably in her 50s, 60s,
I'd say 60s right now. Probably.
But played her in this play. She's an actress.
She's phenomenal. And phenomenal.
And it's powerful. So,
we highly recommend
you rent it. Right now, I think the only place you can
get the movie is Apple TV.
It's $14.99. We don't even have Apple TV,
but we got the trial version.
I did the 90 day trial just so we could
watch it. And it was
powerful. And so, we
encourage you to do that. Also, you can go to the
Alan Jackson's podcast, Culture
and Christianity. And it's
with Nan Gurley.
That gives you the short version. Oh my
gosh. So powerful. Nevertheless, it's just as powerful.
And beautiful. But I
would encourage you to get, watch the movie.
Because it is,
it's so enlightening. And it was
so well done. We were both looking at
each other going, man. Because this
is a play. It's like going
and sitting and watching a Broadway play.
But
adapted for the screen. And it was
just beautiful. And it was,
it was so moving. Like
I said, we both cried and cried at the
end. And it was, it was powerful.
I would definitely encourage you.
And Pastor Alan Jackson, we're talking about
suffering and adversity
and pain and how. Yeah, we don't
have any idea. We as American Christians,
we've had it so convenient and so
easy for so long. So comfortable
that we're shocked when
something's not comfortable. We're shocked when
something doesn't work right. The electricity
goes off for an extended period of time. We don't
know what to do. Internet goes down. Oh my
gosh. Shuts the whole world down.
So, she was talking about adversity
and trials. And how
that's all these people do.
So,
Cory Ten Boom, Cory and her sister
Betsy, well the whole family
got taken into
a death
camp. The dad died after
10 days of being
in that death camp. The
sister died after
nine months and then 10 days
later Cory was
released because of a clerical
error.
A miracle.
It was a miracle. She wasn't supposed
to be released. What she did
afterwards was
I don't even think we want to tell
everything that she did because you want
people to listen. But I will say
she went around the world for the rest of her
life telling the stories and
talking to people and the Christians
about faith
and about the cost of discipleship,
the cost of faith and being
willing to stand and trust God. And she died in
I think 1983
at the age of 91 is what I remember.
Remarkable, remarkable woman.
Danish woman.
Tough, tough as a boot kind of.
But she was strong
and led many, many,
many, many people to Jesus.
What's so scary, Jimmy, is that
if we keep going as a nation
as we're going, we could end up
in similar circumstances
because of
Marxism coming in.
And it might not look the same, but it
will feel the same.
Do you know what I'm saying? I do.
And it's scary to think
that it could happen. I mean that happened.
In a neutral
country, they declared neutrality.
We're not in this thing.
And the Third Reich,
Hitler came in and took them over
and began to deport all because they were doing
what they called the final solution
which was to get rid of all the Jewish people.
They were trying to literally eradicate them from their earth.
But right now, they want to eradicate Christians.
No doubt. I mean it's
so obvious they want to take us out.
So many things have tilted against believers.
You know what I love though?
When you come against the Church of God
and the Church of Jesus Christ,
the Church gets stronger.
People begin to rise up.
Now people fall away because maybe they weren't even
real Christians to begin with. They probably weren't all in.
Maybe they weren't operating
out of a second birth.
They brought the world to God's way.
Exactly. And so they give up.
They give in
to the demands. But what
I'm seeing right now is Christians
stepping up and standing up. There's a
move of God. I was talking to
a friend yesterday
who said there is a move of God right
now around the world. And it is
shocking almost.
Talk to our international bishop friend,
Dr. Bill.
The Bishop Bill, the good Reverend
Dr. He's got so many titles it's unbelievable.
He's raising up
leaders
to be pastors in unreached
and dangerous places. That's all
I'm going to say about it. And
he reached out yesterday. We were talking
and he said God is moving
all over the world right now. We are in
revival. History will look back
on this period of time. And they
may report on the political scene. They may
report on what's going on with NATO and
all over the world. And Ukraine and Russia
and China and North Korea.
But at the end of the day
there's going to be stories come out of heroes
and heroines who stood for
Jesus Christ in the face of persecution
and trials. And they
stood their ground. They were born
to be brave in the words of Kirk Cameron.
I recommend that book by the way.
I'm getting a lot out of it. You're carrying it
everywhere you go. I know. I've got it sitting right
here in front of me because I can't put the book
down. It's one of those that grips you hard. Which is so
unusual because you've never been
really a Kirk Cameron fan. I was
when I watched Growing Pains.
I didn't know anything about him.
Well I think when he was with
Ray Comfort he
had a little different bent
in his speaking.
And so it kind of
was very harsh. But now
you can see it's bravery.
It's what it is. No doubt.
It's like we've changed
and now we understand
where he comes from because of what we're seeing
in the world. He caught my attention.
I started listening to his podcast,
American Revival Podcast.
And he's doing like
I think a couple of times
a week leading up to the election.
He's doing these little fireside chats. He's got
one of his pastors on with him right now. It's been
really good. But what he caught
my attention when he said this, what if the present
cultural setback is
really a divine set up
for a spiritual comeback
led by the family of faith. Well those are words
I've used. It's a phrase I've used for years.
For about 20 years. Yeah. I mean
sometimes what looks like
a setback is actually a set up for
a comeback. And I've said that for years
and years. So he caught my attention with that. I actually
want to ask him and probably reach out to him through
Rick Green and say
where did you get that? Because I'm
curious if we got it from the same place.
But listen to this. He says that
maybe things that
today are making us disgusted about
our society aren't merely the way it is.
An unfixable brokenness
created by people's poor
choices. Maybe God has secretly
been at work within our
cultural turmoil embedding an
opportunity few can see.
It's not about one political
philosophy prevailing over another
because if that were so a political party would be
all that's needed to bring about
change. Instead this is
here's that word again, an opportunity
custom made for the family
of God and dependent
on the miracle power of God.
A renewal that's potentially
bigger than any ever witnessed
in our lifetime. Transforming
not just hearts but the entire
culture might be
nearer than we've ever considered
possible. This could be
the family of faith's
finest hour. I keep hearing
this from spiritual leaders. Steve Maxwell
and others have said this is our finest
hour. This is our time to shine.
But we have to step up
and shine. Yep, we have to be brave.
We have to be brave. We have to be willing
to stand out. Speaking of bravery,
Sunday morning service.
I know we don't have
a whole lot of time but I think
you need to talk about where you got
your message from and
why it was important to give it
this weekend. Well,
first of all I was inspired to do it because
Pastor Paul Blair out of Oklahoma
reached out to a bunch of guys.
We're called Liberty Pastors, Black Road Regiment.
You know,
Remnant Alliance. These are pastors
who are stepping up in their pulpits
and engaging the culture. It's not
just politics. The only reason we're
engaging politics because we're not chasing
politics. Politics are chasing us.
And we're in the middle of an election. They've come to our
front door. So we're just answering
questions and dealing with what's going on.
When the
political thing settles down and we
get past the election, we'll continue to engage
culture. It just may be at a different
focus. But right now
that's the focus. He reached out to pastors
and said, would you please take this
Sunday, we're three weeks out from the election,
a pivotal election, would you take
time this Sunday and
speak to your congregations and challenge
them to vote, to use
their power, their voice. And so
that's exactly what we did. And
I preached a lesson,
a message called
Vote Like Jesus. It's
actually the title of a book by Pastor Mark
Driscoll. Which is,
it's got to be, we haven't read the book,
but from what... I didn't have to read the book.
Well, and we didn't have to,
but we also watched him
preach this message. Part of it.
And we were
sold. So I borrowed from
many sources actually to do
this message. I mean, I literally
listed out all these
sources because there were so many
people I drew this message from. For example,
I'll just give you the list because it was
Paul Blair, Mark Driscoll,
Josh Howerton, Jack Hillegos,
David and Tim Barton, Alan Jackson,
Rick Green, Jack Hibbs, and Greg
Lowry. I used
pieces of... because I just
took all these amazing
statements and I rolled
them up into one service called
Vote Like Jesus.
And then challenged our church
in the area of family, in the area
of church, but also that God established
government. God established
the state to give us boundaries
and the rule of
law. And I proved all that from
scripture. And it was just so important
to
challenge our people
that you're not voting
for a platform. No.
No, you're not voting for an individual.
Thank you. I'm sorry. My thoughts are getting ahead
and I'm rushing because of our time.
But I
challenged our people that
forget Kamala Harris,
forget Donald Trump. You're voting
for the platform that most aligns
with a biblical worldview.
You take what you believe about God's
word, what it says about life
and birth.
What it says about borders
and boundaries. What it says
about
our freedoms. What it says about
we've been
born for freedom.
So in liberty, what it says
about various issues
and then ask which platform
most closely aligns
with that.
I know you wrote that
on a blog yesterday and someone responded,
well none of them do. Well, which one
most aligns? Exactly.
And here's why I said that. A vote
is not a valentine. Yes.
It's just not. A vote is not a valentine.
It's not your favorite person. You're not trying to woo a girl.
Or woo a dude.
You're literally not voting
for the most popular. You're saying
that this person
happens to represent a platform
doesn't mean they're perfect. Doesn't mean they have it all
together. A ballot box is
not a mailbox for you to send a message
to Washington D.C. Well, and we need
to know what the Bible says in order to
know how to vote. Exactly. This is the
problem. That's more important than knowing the political
scene. It is. But this is the problem
is we are illiterate
as Christians.
And
we're babies.
The Bible says that we're babies and we need
we're drinking
milk and we need the meat of the word.
And if you don't know what the Bible says
about those issues you won't know
who to vote for so you just won't vote at all.
That's right. If you don't know what the Bible
says about for example things like
pro-life or pro-death
pro-securing our borders or pro-open
borders, pro-peace or pro-war
pro-freedom or
pro-dependence on nations
that hate us and want to take us out. And the government
is controlling
every area of our lives. Pro-parental
rights or pro-child choice
who says at 11 years old I want to
be a boy but I want to be a girl.
And so my parents disagree
so I'm going to tell my counselor
and they're going to make sure that I
start the process. Waltz Minnesota
already has
the right to take a child out of a
home if the parents will not affirm
their gender choice. Now I heard
and I may be wrong
that there are 17 states
that are already in agreement with that. Is
that right? I don't remember how many. I thought
it was 10 but I don't know that
right number. But that could easily
become 50 states. That could be
50 states if
a certain
regime holds
power. We're in trouble.
And so we have
I just want to say prepare
to vote. 30 to
40 million Christians
stayed home in the 2020
election and it's projected
and Barna did a study on this
and I shared all of that information
that it is projected
that 30 plus
million evangelical Christians
will stay home again
because of ambivalence
and they don't trust the system.
And they don't like either one.
But the problem is when you don't
vote you're actually giving a vote
to the other side of what you don't believe.
So by not showing up
you vacate your responsibility
and where there's a vacuum of leadership
the enemy will always
come in and fill that void.
He'll back fill
our apathy, our
laziness, our misunderstanding
of what it is. Do you know
that when you cast a vote you're
not voting for a president.
You're voting for a platform and
5 to 8000
appointments that go along
with that platform that can tip
the scales towards a
more biblical world
view or a more
demonic world view, a more Marxist
world view and you have to choose
so you get out of your
mindset that I'm voting for Donald Trump
or I'm voting for Kamala.
Forget that. You're not voting for a
personality, it's not a valentine.
Also your selection
is not a sacrament.
This isn't a holy thing
in terms of I'm taking communion
and everything has to be pure and ceremonially
washed. Listen, there is
unless Jesus is on
the ballot you will always
vote for the lesser
of two evils and just
get it in your mind and when you accept
that you realize okay I'm going to participate in the
process and if you don't participate
and you don't vote forget
complaining to anybody about what's going on
because it's on you. It's
on your watch. Listen, I'll
dismiss you if you need a role.
I do. I have a bunch of women waiting
on me. I want to land the plane with some thanks and I want
to talk about Adam and Tina Curry.
Tina just got back from a
big big trip and
a big hiking trip up in Tennessee
and so they'll be talking about that.
So have a great meeting. Love
you. Talk to you later baby girl.
Alright, it's just us right now.
And I want to encourage you in something
we've got some dear friends, Adam and Tina Curry
and they've got a great podcast called
The Keeper. Adam also does another
podcast called No Agenda. I recommend
both of those. No Agenda especially
right now where they are doing media
deconstruction, talking about the election,
talking about what all's going on
and really just pulling apart all
of the propaganda, all the media
lies and stories and narratives,
the cultural narratives. They do a great job
of pulling those apart so you can see
the truth between the lines because it's not obvious.
And so they do a great job of that.
John Dvorak and Adam Curry.
And speaking of
thanks and people I want to
thank, I've got some people I want to thank
right now. First of all, and this has
to do with a really
nice comment
that was made on Fountain from
Comic Strip blogger
on Curry and the Keeper's
podcast.
And he writes this, today I'd like to
recommend a podcast that can be found
at www.livingupinadownworld.com
or by searching for
Living Up in a Down World in a Podcast
apps by your fellow
Jesus fans, Jimmy
and Annette. Yo
CSB, that's Comic
Strip Blogger. Comic Strip Blogger, thank
you for giving us a shout out.
I was actually boosting
Adam and Tina yesterday at Curry and the Keeper
when I saw your comment.
I really appreciate that. Also got
some comments on last week's
podcast called There's More
to the Story.
Adam Curry supercharging Tina's
mini striper boost
with 77,777
sats.
That's a striper boost. He says
we love the full name
Living Up in a Down World. That was when Annette and I were
going back and forth on, should we just call
it Living Up? Because she really wanted to shorten it
and I'm like, no, I like Living Up in a Down World
because it's descriptive. So, Living Up in
a Down World wins out. We will not change the
name of the podcast. Thank you Adam Curry.
Also, we have a mini striper boost
from Sir Brian with an I.
He says very powerful testimony
from Dame Annette. Thank you for sharing
your story and thank you for saying
thanks Sir Brian. We love you.
Then the Keeper wrote another
mini striper boost.
He said a reason, a season, and a lifetime.
What a blessing you two are to me and
Adam. Love you lots. We love you too
Keeper. Miss Tina.
By the way, that was a comment that
I made. Mike Smith, who's
the producer of Out of Shadows
and Into the Light, two great
documentaries I highly recommend you
watch. We had he and his wife
Wendy as a guest at our church and man, they
just did a great job. Knocked it out
of the park. But he and I were on the phone
the next day just talking, catching up.
And he said, you know what? He said,
how can you remember the context of the
conversation? We were talking about God, the world, and other things.
And he said this, people come
into your life for a reason,
a season, or a lifetime.
And sometimes you've got to just put
people in those categories because sometimes
they don't stay and you wonder, how could
I thought we were going to do life together for the rest of our lives?
Well, it might have just been a reason.
And value the reason that they were in your life
and don't despair because they're not
there now. Same way with the season.
But then there are those few that come along
and they come along for a lifetime.
You know, lifers are the kind when you
cannot talk for four years, you
get on the phone and it was literally like yesterday.
So, anyway, big kudos
out to Mike Smith for that.
Adam Curry also, he says
we love the full name
and then he wrote, Green Bubble Fail.
Love it Adam.
And then Keeper, another
mini Striper boost from
the Keeper. Very many.
777 sets.
Mini, mini Striper boost
so Annette knows I listen to the show.
That's
hysterical. We love those guys.
We're looking forward.
Man, we got to have some time with them last week.
Actually, me and Adam did a bro date
last week and it was amazing.
We went and ate at one of our favorite places
called Friedhelm's. Here,
it's a Bavarian restaurant
and it's just one of our go-tos.
It's old school. It's like stepping
back in a time capsule.
And one of the things I love about being in
Fredericksburg, small town, America, Texas.
And so we had a great time
together. And again, when Adam and I get
together, it is God first,
the world and other things. That's how
it goes in that order. So really enjoyed
my time. Well, listen, we love you guys.
So thankful for you.
Thankful for you being with us and
we love you. Go to LivingUpAndAdownWorld.com
