WEBVTT

00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:05.660
Don't get down when you're seeing the worst.

00:00:06.019 --> 00:00:26.640
Because at last. This is Jimmy and Annette, and

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.179
we are excited to be with you today. We have

00:00:29.179 --> 00:00:31.199
been traveling. We've been all over the place,

00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.060
and here we are finally back in the saddle. How

00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:36.240
are you doing, beautiful? I'm doing well. How

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:39.979
are you? You look so vivacious, so excited, so

00:00:39.979 --> 00:00:42.179
ready to roll. I'm red from being in the pool

00:00:42.179 --> 00:00:44.840
today. I noticed you're very red with that dress

00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:46.700
you have on right there. We were walking through

00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:49.759
a house. And I was like, whoa, she's got the

00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:51.740
high pro glow going. I have the high pro glow

00:00:51.740 --> 00:00:54.240
for sure. We want to welcome our friends to Living

00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.020
Up and Down World. We're so glad that you're

00:00:56.020 --> 00:00:59.560
with us today. We have been traveling on the

00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.719
road. We've had a big trip out to Southern California.

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:04.920
That was an amazing trip. Now, what was the event

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.359
called that we went to? Called Last Stand. The

00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:12.400
Last Stand with Seth Gruber. And 17 speakers

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:18.329
in one day. We heard 18 total. Think about lunch.

00:01:18.930 --> 00:01:21.030
That didn't even count the lunch guys that we

00:01:21.030 --> 00:01:25.129
had. That's true. I would say almost 20. So 20

00:01:25.129 --> 00:01:28.629
speakers in one day with worship. I mean, it

00:01:28.629 --> 00:01:31.349
was like sunup to sundown. Ben Fuller was my

00:01:31.349 --> 00:01:33.989
favorite. Ben Fuller, artist from Nashville.

00:01:34.049 --> 00:01:37.549
He came and did a concert that night. We were

00:01:37.549 --> 00:01:40.719
tired, but wow, I was so... I was so excited

00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:42.739
to see him because he's one of our favorites.

00:01:42.859 --> 00:01:45.200
Yes. Yeah, check out Ben Fuller. He's got a new

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.879
album out that is phenomenal. It's one of my

00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:49.500
favorites. I can't turn it off. I just found

00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:52.939
out today he's coming, I think it's January,

00:01:53.060 --> 00:01:57.819
July 7th. to Cornerstone Church in San Antonio.

00:01:57.859 --> 00:01:59.900
You didn't even tell me that. I just found out

00:01:59.900 --> 00:02:03.900
about it a couple hours ago. We have family in

00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:06.620
town, but we may say, hey, come go with us or

00:02:06.620 --> 00:02:08.860
you stay home with your baby. We're going to

00:02:08.860 --> 00:02:11.180
go see Ben Fuller. Truly one of our favorites.

00:02:11.259 --> 00:02:15.479
He's got an amazing redemption story, a grace

00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.240
story and mercy story of how God reached into

00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:22.830
his life in the middle of a drug addiction. Failing

00:02:22.830 --> 00:02:25.129
career and, I mean, just things were not going

00:02:25.129 --> 00:02:28.949
well. And God turned it all around. His voice,

00:02:29.069 --> 00:02:33.370
I just love. He's got a country feel to his voice.

00:02:33.469 --> 00:02:35.629
I guess he used to be a country singer. He was.

00:02:35.729 --> 00:02:37.830
That's why he moved to Nashville initially. He

00:02:37.830 --> 00:02:41.129
used to play non -Christian country music and

00:02:41.129 --> 00:02:44.169
make it in the big times. And he got into drugs

00:02:44.169 --> 00:02:46.770
and alcohol. The whole scene, unfortunately,

00:02:47.069 --> 00:02:49.830
entertainment industry can be hard on you. It

00:02:49.830 --> 00:02:52.469
took him out. But then he radically got saved.

00:02:52.550 --> 00:02:54.629
I want to hear his story. I want to hear that

00:02:54.629 --> 00:02:55.889
part of the story. Do you know that part? I don't

00:02:55.889 --> 00:02:57.870
know that part of the story. Oh, if anybody knows

00:02:57.870 --> 00:02:59.770
that that's listening, please let us know because

00:02:59.770 --> 00:03:02.669
I want to know what happened. Because I think

00:03:02.669 --> 00:03:05.449
he said he's been sober six years. Yes, six years

00:03:05.449 --> 00:03:07.030
sober. And so something must have happened six

00:03:07.030 --> 00:03:10.849
years ago. He is phenomenal. He goes into prisons.

00:03:10.969 --> 00:03:13.590
He loves to do concerts in prisons and he goes

00:03:13.590 --> 00:03:15.759
into prisons. prisons and tells his redemption

00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:18.500
story. And he's covered with tats. He's rough

00:03:18.500 --> 00:03:22.060
looking. I mean, he's kind of got that, who were

00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:24.060
we just listening to? Jelly Roll. Jelly Roll.

00:03:24.099 --> 00:03:26.479
He's kind of got that Jelly Roll vibe and just

00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.520
full of God, full of Jesus. And man, they put

00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.539
on a great show. And it wasn't like a show, like

00:03:33.539 --> 00:03:36.120
an entertainment show. It was just great music.

00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.020
Yeah, it was great. And just super good Nashville

00:03:39.020 --> 00:03:41.259
band. I mean, these guys were amazing. So anyway,

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.740
we had a great time. We were out in... Downey,

00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.840
California, which is in Southern California.

00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:49.639
It's not far from Anaheim because that's where

00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.219
we stayed. And we just had an amazing trip. We

00:03:53.219 --> 00:03:55.520
took Pastor Brian and his wife, Naomi. And their

00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.919
kids. And their kids because they've got grandparents

00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.620
that live out there. And so they were able to

00:04:01.620 --> 00:04:04.000
get some time with the grandparents for the kids.

00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.000
What I loved about the trip, even though there

00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.620
were so many speakers, I was talking to someone

00:04:08.620 --> 00:04:11.840
about it, I think this morning or yesterday.

00:04:13.340 --> 00:04:15.139
There was a lot of speakers, but they only gave

00:04:15.139 --> 00:04:18.639
them like 10 to 12 minutes. So you got, it was

00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:20.600
kind of a bump and run, but it was good because

00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.899
sometimes a speaker can drone on. I'm not looking

00:04:23.899 --> 00:04:26.279
at you like you're one of those. I am, and I

00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.079
didn't mean to. But if you're going to, you know,

00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:30.939
sometimes you can have four or five speakers

00:04:30.939 --> 00:04:33.779
and they go so long, you're bored. Because they

00:04:33.779 --> 00:04:37.680
kept it moving so quickly, I never got bored.

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.639
I was kind of excited for the next speaker. And

00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.660
basically... What the last stand is, is standing

00:04:43.660 --> 00:04:50.339
up for life, for the unborn child. This was an

00:04:50.339 --> 00:04:54.300
amazing, amazing conference to go to and all

00:04:54.300 --> 00:04:58.079
day. 600 ,000 abortions last year by the abortion

00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:03.040
pill. Yeah. I mean, just mind bending 600 ,000.

00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.490
That's a medium sized city. People just completely

00:05:06.490 --> 00:05:09.870
wiped out by this horrific pill that is hurting

00:05:09.870 --> 00:05:14.209
people. Not just the unborn, but they've sold

00:05:14.209 --> 00:05:16.470
a bill of goods that it's safe and it's good.

00:05:16.490 --> 00:05:19.350
It's not safe and it's not good. And some horror

00:05:19.350 --> 00:05:21.750
stories coming back to what that pill does to

00:05:21.750 --> 00:05:24.470
your body. Because it's basically throwing your

00:05:24.470 --> 00:05:29.439
body into crisis to get rid of this baby. And

00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.660
anyway, it's a terrible, sad situation. But this

00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:35.360
organization, the White Rose Resistance with

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.959
Seth Gruber, they're doing amazing things. They've

00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.480
got a new movie coming out this next year, 26.

00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.959
It's called The Last Stand. We saw the movie

00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.269
last year. The 1916 Project. The 1916 Project.

00:05:48.269 --> 00:05:50.529
And that was amazing. Powerful, powerful movie.

00:05:50.529 --> 00:05:53.389
Very eye -opening about. If you've not seen that

00:05:53.389 --> 00:05:56.810
movie, you just Google it. The 1916 Project with

00:05:56.810 --> 00:06:01.550
Seth Gruber. Talks about the originator of Planned

00:06:01.550 --> 00:06:03.629
Parenthood. Planned Parenthood. Margaret Sanger.

00:06:03.810 --> 00:06:06.430
It was very eye -opening. Over 100 years ago.

00:06:06.629 --> 00:06:08.649
We need to watch that again. Yeah, it's powerful,

00:06:08.870 --> 00:06:11.389
powerful. And all the speakers are so compelling

00:06:11.389 --> 00:06:13.649
because each of them had their own stories around

00:06:13.649 --> 00:06:17.480
that world. that, that genre of life. And so

00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:19.740
we got to see our friend, Victor Marks. He was

00:06:19.740 --> 00:06:22.639
there, got to hear him, but he was boxed in what

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:24.879
he had 15 minutes, I think. No, I think he had

00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.220
12 minutes. Yeah. 12 or 15. I think they said

00:06:27.220 --> 00:06:30.660
15 for him, but anyway, tough, tough, tough to

00:06:30.660 --> 00:06:33.620
get your point across. He did a great job. They

00:06:33.620 --> 00:06:36.339
all did. One of our favorites that we got to

00:06:36.339 --> 00:06:38.319
see, which is one of the reasons why we went.

00:06:39.210 --> 00:06:41.829
Just, I mean, for Victor Marks as well, but for

00:06:41.829 --> 00:06:45.269
Jack Hibbs. Yes. And we got to go to his church

00:06:45.269 --> 00:06:48.410
on Sunday. Yeah, right. So the event was on Saturday,

00:06:48.529 --> 00:06:52.509
literally, sunup, sundown. 9 .30 to 10 .30 at

00:06:52.509 --> 00:06:54.069
night. At night, yes. Literally all day. 9 .30

00:06:54.069 --> 00:06:56.370
in the morning to 10. But then we got up the

00:06:56.370 --> 00:06:58.610
next morning and we were debating at first. We

00:06:58.610 --> 00:07:00.769
were so tired. We were exhausted. I was like,

00:07:00.790 --> 00:07:03.610
if I hear another speaker, I am not, I've got

00:07:03.610 --> 00:07:06.350
to. But it was so, we were like. But we love

00:07:06.350 --> 00:07:10.500
Jack Hibbs, Pastor Jack. Even you woke up saying,

00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.399
this is a chance of a lifetime. I mean, we're

00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.699
here. And I listened to Chris Dunham, who was

00:07:15.699 --> 00:07:17.199
at our church, The Bridge. Yes, you got to, which

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:18.579
I've heard nothing but good about what he did.

00:07:18.579 --> 00:07:20.800
And he did phenomenal. So I listened to him.

00:07:20.819 --> 00:07:22.519
You weren't even awake, but I listened to him

00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.060
that morning. But Jack Hibbs, as soon as we got

00:07:25.060 --> 00:07:28.000
to the church. Their host team is phenomenal.

00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.639
We need to learn something from them, even though

00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.980
ours is phenomenal. They literally, when we asked,

00:07:35.139 --> 00:07:37.339
we don't even know where the sanctuary is. Can

00:07:37.339 --> 00:07:40.680
you show us? And she said, well, here, let me

00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.959
just take you up to the front. I thought she

00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.079
was just going to take us up to the front of

00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.680
the church, like just a few rows back. No, we

00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:52.069
were front and center, front row. He could spit

00:07:52.069 --> 00:07:56.670
and hit my face. But that was amazing. And I

00:07:56.670 --> 00:07:59.589
told her we were pastors and it was amazing.

00:07:59.790 --> 00:08:02.129
I wish we would have got to meet him. There was

00:08:02.129 --> 00:08:04.829
a meet and greet before that service because

00:08:04.829 --> 00:08:07.170
we went to the one o 'clock. Right. But the line

00:08:07.170 --> 00:08:09.610
was so long. There was no way I was going to

00:08:09.610 --> 00:08:12.870
get in line and talk to him. I felt like now

00:08:12.870 --> 00:08:15.540
I knew how he felt. I mean, I know how he feels

00:08:15.540 --> 00:08:17.779
because we have that long line, too. But that

00:08:17.779 --> 00:08:21.560
was a great message, too. Pastor Jack Hibbs,

00:08:21.660 --> 00:08:24.899
he's the pastor, has been there forever at Chino

00:08:24.899 --> 00:08:27.379
Hills and Chino Hills, but it's Calvary Chapel.

00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:29.500
He's a Calvary Chapel guy. I love the Calvary

00:08:29.500 --> 00:08:32.399
Chapel guys and just have a huge appreciation.

00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:34.440
First of all, he's a truth teller. He speaks

00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:37.120
truth. He doesn't hold anything back. He is a

00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:40.659
straight up truth teller. And he's a dangerous

00:08:40.659 --> 00:08:43.440
gentleman. I mean, he's strong. He is fearless.

00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.860
And he stood in the face of some pretty hard

00:08:46.860 --> 00:08:49.980
things. He's spoken to Congress. He's testified

00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:52.340
to Congress. He's prayed for Congress. He's done

00:08:52.340 --> 00:08:55.240
it all. But anyway, he is definitely moving the

00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:57.440
needle on the kingdom of God. So it was a privilege

00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:01.279
to sit at his feet and just literally be literally

00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:05.100
right under him. But so blessed and so encouraged.

00:09:05.379 --> 00:09:08.740
And the whole trip was just one of those. Do

00:09:08.740 --> 00:09:11.559
you notice everything? We had so many favor things.

00:09:11.820 --> 00:09:14.769
Yeah. We prayed for favor. And Tina and Adam

00:09:14.769 --> 00:09:18.190
prayed for favor for us. And we literally, when

00:09:18.190 --> 00:09:21.509
we got our rental car, they were like, do you

00:09:21.509 --> 00:09:24.110
want this car or do you want this Defender, this

00:09:24.110 --> 00:09:27.529
Land Rover Defender? And we're like, heck yes,

00:09:27.610 --> 00:09:30.190
we'll take that Defender. And we did. And it

00:09:30.190 --> 00:09:32.730
was, we had never driven one of those. And it

00:09:32.730 --> 00:09:36.889
was. Really nice. I loved being up high. Made

00:09:36.889 --> 00:09:41.870
me wish we had one, but we don't. But that was

00:09:41.870 --> 00:09:43.970
really nice. And then we get to the hotel, and

00:09:43.970 --> 00:09:48.250
we just got a king room. And they're like, oh,

00:09:48.330 --> 00:09:50.450
we're going to upgrade you to our one -bedroom,

00:09:50.509 --> 00:09:54.309
two -bath suite. Upgraded us. That was amazing.

00:09:54.330 --> 00:09:57.169
I took the price. It's like $1 ,200 a night.

00:09:57.289 --> 00:10:00.649
Wow. And we paid for just a regular king room.

00:10:00.769 --> 00:10:02.909
Wow. Fantastic. That's what Marriott. points

00:10:02.909 --> 00:10:05.929
do for you. People, if you want a Marriott card,

00:10:06.230 --> 00:10:08.889
hit me up. I can refer you because you will get

00:10:08.889 --> 00:10:12.169
points and I will too. We have been able to go

00:10:12.169 --> 00:10:14.750
on so many free trips because of Marriott. That's

00:10:14.750 --> 00:10:19.049
true. I love Marriott. So I know I sound like

00:10:19.049 --> 00:10:20.929
you don't work for them. I don't work for them.

00:10:21.450 --> 00:10:23.809
I'm selling them though. I'm telling you, we

00:10:23.809 --> 00:10:25.929
just have good, good experiences. We have had

00:10:25.929 --> 00:10:28.690
really good. And when we haven't, they make it

00:10:28.690 --> 00:10:32.850
good. They, they make it good. So But that was

00:10:32.850 --> 00:10:36.330
wonderful. And then we get to go to the church.

00:10:36.330 --> 00:10:38.610
I got to talk to Daniel. You got to talk to Daniel.

00:10:38.750 --> 00:10:42.049
So Daniel was our waiter that morning. And I

00:10:42.049 --> 00:10:44.009
won't go into big detail, but it was obvious

00:10:44.009 --> 00:10:47.129
Daniel had some challenges in terms of his life.

00:10:47.549 --> 00:10:51.629
And he just was so talkative and engaging. I

00:10:51.629 --> 00:10:54.149
mean, our food got cold sitting there because

00:10:54.149 --> 00:10:55.470
he was talking to us. Because I started asking

00:10:55.470 --> 00:10:58.029
him questions. You did. And then I finally said

00:10:58.029 --> 00:11:00.820
to him, I said, Daniel, is there something personal

00:11:00.820 --> 00:11:02.399
that I can pray for you? And that was at the

00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.179
end. That was at the end. And he just, he almost

00:11:05.179 --> 00:11:07.659
melted right there. I know. He said, yeah, I've

00:11:07.659 --> 00:11:08.860
got some challenges in my life. And then he made

00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:11.720
a comment about, you know, I go to a certain

00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:14.460
church, but I haven't been in a while. We never

00:11:14.460 --> 00:11:16.899
told him we were pastors. Nope. That's what we

00:11:16.899 --> 00:11:19.360
love to do. We don't like to go and just announce

00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:24.639
that. Because we don't. Yeah, it can make people

00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.059
uncomfortable. I put my clerical collar away.

00:11:26.100 --> 00:11:27.460
I don't wear that on trips. You're so funny.

00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:28.700
You don't even wear a clerical. I know, I don't

00:11:28.700 --> 00:11:30.500
have one. But anyway, if I did, I wouldn't take

00:11:30.500 --> 00:11:34.299
it. Some people, it puts them off. And we want

00:11:34.299 --> 00:11:36.820
people to see the light of Jesus in us without

00:11:36.820 --> 00:11:39.799
us announcing who we are. That's what a true

00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:42.220
Christian does. You shouldn't have to announce

00:11:42.220 --> 00:11:45.220
that you're a Christian or you're a pastor or

00:11:45.220 --> 00:11:48.240
a teacher or whatever. You should just live it.

00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:51.039
And it was so neat because he said, are y 'all

00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.379
going to come back tomorrow? And we said, yes.

00:11:53.580 --> 00:11:56.220
And so the next morning we went because we had

00:11:56.220 --> 00:11:58.799
free breakfast with our meal. I mean, with our

00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:02.440
hotel. And but we decided we could eat in the

00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.879
lounge for free and it was better food, actually.

00:12:05.220 --> 00:12:08.840
And so we ate at the lounge, but went back down

00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.799
there and just said, can we just see Daniel,

00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:14.799
the waiter that we had yesterday? She went and

00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.200
got him, and he just lit up. Well, I wanted to

00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.039
make good on my word. I told him we'd come say

00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.059
hi. You did. And you said, we're just coming

00:12:21.059 --> 00:12:24.200
to say hi and just let you know we're thinking

00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:25.460
about you. I hope you have a great day. I pray

00:12:25.460 --> 00:12:27.480
for you. And he was just kind of blown away that

00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:29.419
we would come down there. He said, actually,

00:12:29.580 --> 00:12:32.360
I am doing better. He said, I'm doing good today.

00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:35.039
That was a God thing. It was a God thing. The

00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:36.879
whole idea there, though, is just simply leaking

00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.840
out life. Whether you're on an airplane and you

00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.879
see somebody, a lady that... Which is what you

00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.000
were doing. Right. She's having a hard time getting

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.340
her, you know, her carry -on. Because it's tall,

00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:50.759
especially that one plank. That's why I don't

00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:52.820
carry one on. And sometimes they can be heavy,

00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:55.059
depending on how much stuff you're packing. So

00:12:55.059 --> 00:12:57.080
I always just look for opportunities to help

00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.460
people. And you did all throughout the trip.

00:12:59.460 --> 00:13:02.039
We talk about this leaky buckets thing, and that's

00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.220
kind of what started Adam and Tina talking about

00:13:04.220 --> 00:13:06.320
the bridge church and how we started getting

00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:07.840
to know, because she kept hearing me talk about

00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.539
that in sermons. I did a series. But just to

00:13:11.539 --> 00:13:14.340
encourage everybody here today, it's so easy

00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:18.639
to... Fill yourself up with Jesus, and then as

00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.480
you go, and that's actually what the Great Commission

00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:23.980
in Matthew 28 says. It says, go therefore and

00:13:23.980 --> 00:13:25.820
make disciples of all the nations. It literally

00:13:25.820 --> 00:13:29.139
says, as you are going, make disciples. That's

00:13:29.139 --> 00:13:31.320
what it literally says. In other words, it's

00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.399
not just going to a foreign nation, although

00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.500
that's legitimate. It's actually in your regular

00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:39.019
routine, where you live, where you work, and

00:13:39.019 --> 00:13:42.610
where you play, as you are going. Leak out. Yeah.

00:13:42.730 --> 00:13:45.870
And we're not making disciples on this trip.

00:13:46.110 --> 00:13:50.570
But we are leaking out what we're full of. Planting

00:13:50.570 --> 00:13:52.710
seeds, though. Planting seeds. And you know what?

00:13:52.750 --> 00:13:55.909
We'll probably end up at that hotel again eventually

00:13:55.909 --> 00:13:59.509
because we're going to want to go back to California

00:13:59.509 --> 00:14:02.549
and see Jack Hibbs. And when we do, we will look

00:14:02.549 --> 00:14:05.289
him up. Yeah, absolutely. You know, he'll remember

00:14:05.289 --> 00:14:07.429
us. And William up in the lounge. Oh, I love

00:14:07.429 --> 00:14:09.509
William. Another guy we hit it off with. I love

00:14:09.509 --> 00:14:10.850
William. He came over and he started throwing

00:14:10.850 --> 00:14:13.769
out Christianese code words like blessed. I'm

00:14:13.769 --> 00:14:15.230
going, oh, he's a brother. He's a brother. He's

00:14:15.230 --> 00:14:17.269
a brother. And he ended up, he already knew our

00:14:17.269 --> 00:14:20.509
names and he hugged you. And then he was off

00:14:20.509 --> 00:14:23.250
for three days and we come up on our last day

00:14:23.250 --> 00:14:26.309
and he says, oh, they're Pruitts. I know, he's

00:14:26.309 --> 00:14:29.820
so sweet. Wow, how do you remember that? Because

00:14:29.820 --> 00:14:32.500
there's hundreds of people that come through

00:14:32.500 --> 00:14:35.299
there every week. We had so many things happen

00:14:35.299 --> 00:14:38.559
all through the whole trip. It was amazing. I

00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:41.480
mean, open doors, even driving in L .A. was no

00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:44.320
big deal. I mean, literally, I just, so we had

00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:47.220
a moment. We had a moment. So when we were driving

00:14:47.220 --> 00:14:49.899
from the airport after we landed in L .A .X.,

00:14:49.899 --> 00:14:51.559
and we made the drive over to Anaheim, which

00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:53.980
is a good hour depending on traffic. It was a

00:14:53.980 --> 00:14:56.649
good hour, yeah. So it's an hour. And I'm doing

00:14:56.649 --> 00:14:59.549
as L .A. people do. I lived in L .A., almost

00:14:59.549 --> 00:15:02.269
born there. I mean, I've lived there twice. And

00:15:02.269 --> 00:15:04.730
I'm like driving like somebody from L .A., which

00:15:04.730 --> 00:15:07.529
means like crazy. Which I didn't like. Like bad

00:15:07.529 --> 00:15:10.129
out of you know where. I'm cruising, and you

00:15:10.129 --> 00:15:12.049
are losing your mind over in the seat. No, okay.

00:15:12.289 --> 00:15:14.690
No, no, I'm not saying it's a bad thing. No,

00:15:14.730 --> 00:15:17.629
but I had a lot of anxiety. You were nervous.

00:15:17.629 --> 00:15:20.429
You had a lot of anxiety. And my heart was, I

00:15:20.429 --> 00:15:24.039
felt like I had an elephant on my chest. And

00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.840
you realized, okay, we've been married almost

00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:32.820
33 years. A bliss. A bliss. Wow. And when we

00:15:32.820 --> 00:15:38.480
travel in heavy traffic cities, I get very anxious

00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:41.240
when you're driving. Even though I know you're

00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.720
a great driver. It's not about that. But men

00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.490
tend to like to be closer. To the car. Now, I

00:15:48.490 --> 00:15:51.850
understand we have depth perception issues as

00:15:51.850 --> 00:15:55.870
females. I know that. But I always think if they

00:15:55.870 --> 00:15:59.190
stop suddenly, we hit them. And I've had that

00:15:59.190 --> 00:16:02.090
happen before. I was in a car wreck. That's what

00:16:02.090 --> 00:16:05.649
airbags are for, right? No. This is where I probably

00:16:05.649 --> 00:16:10.779
got it from because when I was with my ex. When

00:16:10.779 --> 00:16:13.080
we were driving in the rain and he was getting

00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:15.139
too close and he was making fun of the fact that

00:16:15.139 --> 00:16:17.980
he had never had an accident and I had. And he

00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:19.700
hit the car because he was too close. That's

00:16:19.700 --> 00:16:20.759
probably where the anxiety came from. That's

00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:24.240
probably where your trauma trigger. But what

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:28.639
happens is I get so nervous because of that,

00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:32.779
of you driving so close. But what I did do the

00:16:32.779 --> 00:16:35.740
next day, we did a lot of driving. And you said,

00:16:35.740 --> 00:16:38.720
you know what? I figured out. I need to just

00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.879
give myself some distance. I'm going to purposefully

00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.580
give distance to make you feel better. And our

00:16:45.580 --> 00:16:49.159
whole trip was I never had another anxiety. Why

00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:51.620
did it take me 32 years to figure this out? We

00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:55.200
drove all the way to Newport Beach and Huntington

00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:59.179
and all that in a lot of traffic. I had zero

00:16:59.179 --> 00:17:04.119
anxiety. It took 33 years. Hey, baby, better

00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:07.519
late than never. Oh, my gosh. So from now on,

00:17:07.619 --> 00:17:10.240
wherever we go, you're going to be relaxed when

00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:12.880
we drive. And, you know, that anxiety started

00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.640
when we moved to Nashville the second time. I

00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:19.940
think it was in 2013. Yeah, it's bad. Because

00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:22.359
you kept going, why are you so anxious? But it

00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:27.559
was really bad. And it never subsided. So pro

00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:30.640
tip for husbands that are listening. Give yourself

00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.240
about three or four car lengths, and don't worry

00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:35.680
about people merging into traffic, merging into

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:37.200
your lane. You didn't have to do three car lengths.

00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:39.420
I did about three or four car lengths. You did?

00:17:39.420 --> 00:17:41.380
Yeah, for the most part. So to me, it looked

00:17:41.380 --> 00:17:43.880
like two, and I think that's plenty. To you.

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:47.019
I know. Isn't that funny? I get it. Why do we

00:17:47.019 --> 00:17:49.339
have a depth perception problem? I don't know.

00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.039
You know, men are from, you know, Mars. Women

00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:54.519
are from Venus. I mean, it's the waffle thing.

00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:56.680
I don't know. It is really. It's just, we're

00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:59.220
just all wired different. Yeah. But anyway. But

00:17:59.220 --> 00:18:01.920
that was kind of a breakthrough for us. So pro

00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:05.220
tip for husbands, man, give some space and don't

00:18:05.220 --> 00:18:07.319
worry about people merging in. And you'll be

00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:09.460
a lot more at peace because mama's at peace.

00:18:09.619 --> 00:18:12.400
Because we're not arguing. I know. We had a great

00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:13.980
time, actually. That's probably the only time

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:16.460
we ever really argued. That's probably the most

00:18:16.460 --> 00:18:19.339
relaxing drive we've had in 32 years. And that

00:18:19.339 --> 00:18:23.079
was in L .A. L .A. Of all the places. Talk about

00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:25.859
proving a point. And what was crazy in driving

00:18:25.859 --> 00:18:30.299
from the airport to the hotel, It was in the

00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:33.359
afternoon. It was five o 'clock traffic. It was

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:35.599
like four o 'clock traffic, but it was crazy.

00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:38.859
We were driving through Compton and all that

00:18:38.859 --> 00:18:42.480
bad areas. I was nervous because I was seeing

00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:47.480
these cars that were luxury cars that were beat

00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:51.799
up. And when you look inside, who's driving them,

00:18:51.900 --> 00:18:56.359
they look like. the shows we watch or used to

00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:58.480
watch, you know, that you're like scared of.

00:18:58.500 --> 00:19:01.259
A little rough. I was very nervous about that

00:19:01.259 --> 00:19:03.140
because you don't, and you don't know if someone's

00:19:03.140 --> 00:19:05.099
going to pull out a gun or whatever. You don't

00:19:05.099 --> 00:19:06.819
want to take those guys off. I mean, again, you

00:19:06.819 --> 00:19:09.000
know, just using some situational awareness,

00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:10.799
which is something I learned from the Patriot

00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:13.619
Academy. Yes. When I did the constitutional defense

00:19:13.619 --> 00:19:16.259
course. It's actually helped me a lot. Yeah.

00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.400
It's helped me be more aware of my environment,

00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:20.339
but it's also helped me to be more at peace.

00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:23.019
Because the more aware you are, the more rested

00:19:23.019 --> 00:19:25.180
you can be. Does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah.

00:19:25.180 --> 00:19:27.119
Anyway, that peace of God that passes all understanding

00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:30.500
floods in. So what a great trip. We felt like,

00:19:30.500 --> 00:19:32.700
and we prayed a lot on that trip. We prayed and

00:19:32.700 --> 00:19:34.759
we were walking. We prayed over our, when we

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:36.940
got our room, here's another pro tip. Whenever

00:19:36.940 --> 00:19:41.380
you go stay in a hotel, pray. Over the room.

00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:43.440
As soon as you walk in. When you walk in, pray

00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.819
over the room and consecrate it to the glory

00:19:45.819 --> 00:19:47.140
of God. Because you don't know what happened

00:19:47.140 --> 00:19:49.160
in that room. Exactly. I mean, we're talking

00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:52.420
hotels here. Even the nice luxury hotels, you

00:19:52.420 --> 00:19:56.240
never know. No, you don't. So hundreds, sometimes

00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:57.859
thousands of people have been in and out of those

00:19:57.859 --> 00:20:00.619
rooms. And again, you don't know who or what.

00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.980
And so we just make it a point. And our room

00:20:03.980 --> 00:20:07.000
was spectacular. I think it's because we prayed

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:09.059
over it. It was so nice. I said, can we stay

00:20:09.059 --> 00:20:12.240
in extra? You're not going to move there. We

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.579
didn't really have any reason to come home because

00:20:15.579 --> 00:20:18.859
early. Right, we're on vacation. Our vacation

00:20:18.859 --> 00:20:20.940
has already started. Yeah, even though you're

00:20:20.940 --> 00:20:22.740
preaching Sunday. I'm preaching Sunday because

00:20:22.740 --> 00:20:25.839
it was kind of one last hoorah before I go. But

00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:29.400
other than that, I'm done. So we get a good little

00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:31.740
break here. So let's talk about that. So the

00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:34.299
last time you had one last hurrah, which was

00:20:34.299 --> 00:20:37.180
two years ago, before we took a two -month sabbatical,

00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:39.099
which we're only taking a month vacation right

00:20:39.099 --> 00:20:42.539
now, you dropped a bomb on everybody, and then

00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:46.650
we left. And it wasn't like... I mean, it was

00:20:46.650 --> 00:20:48.829
like... It was a good bomb, not a bad bomb. It

00:20:48.829 --> 00:20:51.549
was a good bomb. But you were like, I may not

00:20:51.549 --> 00:20:53.130
have a church when we get back. I was joking.

00:20:53.430 --> 00:20:55.250
Okay, so are you going to do that this time?

00:20:55.369 --> 00:20:57.069
Because I already told someone that you might

00:20:57.069 --> 00:21:00.430
be doing that. I'm bringing a strong word. I

00:21:00.430 --> 00:21:02.690
said that to Pam, that you were probably going

00:21:02.690 --> 00:21:05.009
to do that. And she said, well, just tell me

00:21:05.009 --> 00:21:06.410
you aren't leaving, though. It's not going to

00:21:06.410 --> 00:21:09.170
be that. I said, no, no, no. We don't want to

00:21:09.170 --> 00:21:12.549
leave. We've asked God to leave us here. For

00:21:12.549 --> 00:21:14.609
any Bridgers that are listening right now, you

00:21:14.609 --> 00:21:21.150
are stuck with us. You just might be strong as

00:21:21.150 --> 00:21:24.650
far as what you're going to communicate. So I'll

00:21:24.650 --> 00:21:26.210
give you the title. I'll just give that away.

00:21:26.410 --> 00:21:28.029
Oh, you already have it? Yeah, the title is Let's

00:21:28.029 --> 00:21:30.789
Do Difficult. And I'm going to talk about what

00:21:30.789 --> 00:21:32.869
does it look like to do difficult. I'm going

00:21:32.869 --> 00:21:34.789
to have a series of things. I won't say anything

00:21:34.789 --> 00:21:38.930
else, but we need to think about it. We're very

00:21:38.930 --> 00:21:42.039
soft in America. You think? Yeah. We're very

00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:46.220
spoiled. And looking at you, kid. You pointed

00:21:46.220 --> 00:21:48.660
at me. We're very spoiled. Why do you think I'm

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:51.720
spoiled? Don't get me started. Okay. Okay. So

00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:54.460
anyway, we're spoiled in America. We're soft.

00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:58.279
We've had it really well. But what does it look

00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:02.000
like as a follower of Jesus to choose difficulty

00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:05.079
as opposed to always choosing the easy way? So

00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:06.940
what does it look like to do difficult? Yeah.

00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:08.420
So that's what we're going to talk about. Okay.

00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:10.519
And it'll be strong. And it could change between

00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:12.579
now and then because I know what happens to you.

00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:14.900
I already know where I'm going. Okay. We'll see.

00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.559
Yeah. We'll see. So anyway, yeah. So that's what

00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:19.799
we're doing Sunday. And then we're done. I mean,

00:22:19.819 --> 00:22:22.900
literally for a month. We're going to Trey and

00:22:22.900 --> 00:22:24.960
Jules. Yeah. We've got one little afternoon.

00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:27.000
A little afternoon reception thing. Celebrate

00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:29.339
their marriage. And then we'll be done. Yeah.

00:22:29.460 --> 00:22:33.539
But we still have people that have invited us

00:22:33.539 --> 00:22:37.140
to dinner. And I know you're like. I don't want

00:22:37.140 --> 00:22:40.019
to do too much because it's our vacation, but

00:22:40.019 --> 00:22:43.240
just a little bit of stuff. You're a little miss

00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:45.599
socialite. No, no. You need to learn to say,

00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:48.900
don't say no, just say not now. Okay. But the

00:22:48.900 --> 00:22:52.680
thing is, I am not Tina Curry who has to do something

00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:54.640
every night. And I don't understand that. You

00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:56.299
just threw your friend under the bus and backed

00:22:56.299 --> 00:22:58.279
up over. Every single night she has to do something.

00:22:58.339 --> 00:23:00.700
I'm like. Girl. By the way, we're about to go

00:23:00.700 --> 00:23:03.420
hang out with them in a few minutes. That's why

00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:06.700
we're killing time by doing a podcast. I wanted

00:23:06.700 --> 00:23:08.960
to get a podcast. So listen, for you guys that

00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:12.259
listen to our podcast, if we didn't do this right

00:23:12.259 --> 00:23:14.779
now, we're in between. We just went and did some

00:23:14.779 --> 00:23:17.099
stuff with our daughter and son in love. And

00:23:17.099 --> 00:23:19.200
then we had one hour and I said, let's go stop

00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:21.140
by the church. Little did Annette know I was

00:23:21.140 --> 00:23:23.559
setting her up. I knew you were doing that. She's

00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:25.099
like, go to the church. Why don't we just go

00:23:25.099 --> 00:23:27.859
over at Faith and Brandon's? Because they invited

00:23:27.859 --> 00:23:30.390
us. We've got some construction I want to see.

00:23:30.589 --> 00:23:32.069
Let's go look at the new construction. Well,

00:23:32.089 --> 00:23:33.970
we did need to see it. It was good. And then

00:23:33.970 --> 00:23:36.849
I said, hey, since we're here and we have 30

00:23:36.849 --> 00:23:38.869
minutes, let's do a podcast. And she's like,

00:23:39.069 --> 00:23:41.289
I knew you were going to do that. So we're doing

00:23:41.289 --> 00:23:44.490
this as a labor of love because we love you.

00:23:44.529 --> 00:23:46.710
And so this is a different kind of podcast than

00:23:46.710 --> 00:23:49.430
normal because it's not, we're kind of all over

00:23:49.430 --> 00:23:52.170
the place because we're, we're, good things are

00:23:52.170 --> 00:23:54.049
happening to you and we're super encouraged.

00:23:54.170 --> 00:23:57.170
God has been so faithful. We're excited about

00:23:57.170 --> 00:23:59.990
our time, our break. We do this every year in

00:23:59.990 --> 00:24:03.329
July now. And I'm really looking forward to it

00:24:03.329 --> 00:24:06.470
because we always come back refreshed and strong.

00:24:06.690 --> 00:24:10.380
And I love. When you take care of the temple,

00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:12.680
you know, God gives you your mind, body, spirit.

00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:14.819
When you take care of those three areas, and

00:24:14.819 --> 00:24:17.559
we'll do that a lot during this next few weeks,

00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:20.059
we'll take care of those things. It's amazing

00:24:20.059 --> 00:24:23.339
how you come back strong, refreshed, renewed,

00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:27.019
revived. Well, after our sabbatical, you literally

00:24:27.019 --> 00:24:32.079
came back so strong. I mean, we didn't stop.

00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:36.180
And yet it was okay because when we had our next

00:24:36.180 --> 00:24:39.599
vacation, which was last year in July, we settle

00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:45.079
down and we're able to just relax and get our

00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:47.059
bearings again and then start all over again.

00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:49.279
Come back strong. And here we go. I know. I'm

00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.099
excited about it. It is nice. Looking forward

00:24:51.099 --> 00:24:53.180
to it. So in a few minutes, we're going to go

00:24:53.180 --> 00:24:56.019
to the Revel Kitchen. Which is El Quinto. I thought

00:24:56.019 --> 00:24:58.660
it was Rebel. I thought it was Rebel. No, it's

00:24:58.660 --> 00:25:01.339
R -E -V -E -L, but it's also - This is a cool

00:25:01.339 --> 00:25:04.339
thing. They do this pop -up kitchen. And it's

00:25:04.339 --> 00:25:06.859
not like, is it random kind of? No, they started

00:25:06.859 --> 00:25:10.000
doing it now every weekend. Oh, okay. So here

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.819
in Fredericksburg, this is really cool. ElQuinchotextx

00:25:12.819 --> 00:25:15.779
.com. My only concern about going to this tonight

00:25:15.779 --> 00:25:19.000
is that it's 6 .33 p .m. and the temperature

00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:22.759
in Fredericksburg is 87 degrees. Oh, okay. Well,

00:25:22.819 --> 00:25:24.980
it's better than 97. Well, that is true. It is

00:25:24.980 --> 00:25:29.859
outdoors. It is outdoors. Anyway, I'll be roasting.

00:25:29.859 --> 00:25:31.599
Look, I can't open. I'm trying to open their

00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:35.720
website. And it's not found. So I'm excited about

00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:37.599
it because we're going with some dear, dear friends.

00:25:37.740 --> 00:25:45.640
We're going with David and Andrea Massaro. Massarano.

00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:48.059
Oh, my gosh. Now you've got me. Sorry, missed

00:25:48.059 --> 00:25:51.079
their name. Love, love, love these guys. So we're

00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:52.579
going to go hang out with them. And then also

00:25:52.579 --> 00:25:56.180
Adam and Tina Curry, our besties. And we've got

00:25:56.180 --> 00:25:58.559
stuff to catch up on. Adam and I are laughing

00:25:58.559 --> 00:25:59.940
because it's like, gosh, we're going to be around

00:25:59.940 --> 00:26:01.279
a lot of people. It means we've got to talk to

00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:03.200
other people. People don't understand. We've

00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:04.779
got stuff to talk about. Oh, my gosh. You're

00:26:04.779 --> 00:26:05.819
hilarious. We're changing the world one meeting

00:26:05.819 --> 00:26:07.720
at a time. You're hilarious. I'm looking forward

00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:09.839
to that. So we're going to head over there soon.

00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:11.680
What are you doing on your phone? Are you looking

00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:13.839
up something? I'm looking up. It's not opening

00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:16.829
for you. Safari can't open the page because the

00:26:16.829 --> 00:26:18.970
server can't be found. Sounds like their website's

00:26:18.970 --> 00:26:21.250
down. Yeah, it does. So anyway, so we're doing

00:26:21.250 --> 00:26:23.150
that. And it's going to be like this, what, three

00:26:23.150 --> 00:26:25.289
- or four -course meal? Oh, here it is. Is it

00:26:25.289 --> 00:26:27.210
a four -course meal, five -course? It is. Well.

00:26:27.890 --> 00:26:30.490
It's just a lot. I mean, it's an amazing, amazing

00:26:30.490 --> 00:26:35.130
thing. So this is a real culinary treat. I'm

00:26:35.130 --> 00:26:37.210
a little nervous about the food because I'm so

00:26:37.210 --> 00:26:41.049
picky, and the menu is a lot of very odd. I don't

00:26:41.049 --> 00:26:43.640
even. I can't even pronounce everything that's

00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:46.599
on. A lot of quail and lamb. I'm not a fan. Oh,

00:26:46.660 --> 00:26:49.160
I love quail and I love lamb. I'm a little nervous

00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:51.579
about eating. Honey, they have eyes. It's good
