00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,160
Greetings and welcome to this edition of They to Live By.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:08,160
I'm Pam Christian, the researcher, writer, producer, and host of this weekly podcast,

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,720
where each week I help us explore current events from a biblical and prophetic perspective.

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:19,680
I've been at this for nearly four years now, and being in the thick of efforts to expose evil

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:27,120
and reveal truth as the Holy Spirit guides has given me an optimistic view of the present days and of our future.

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:35,440
You know, prophetically, God has repeatedly said we must walk by faith in His words over what we see with our eyes.

7
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,640
The enemy is in a chaotic panic right now.

8
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,480
He and His minions are pulling out all the stops to try to force His plan upon God's people.

9
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:48,800
He is frantic because so much of what He has planned is failing.

10
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:56,000
In the process, evil and the self-appointed elite through whom evil is working are turning on one another.

11
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,760
The chaos is evident with the many different worldwide fronts.

12
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,920
Highly organized and professionally operated anti-Semitic and pro-Hamas protests on college campuses,

13
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,440
the Biden administration's betrayal of Israel, and the actual support of their enemies,

14
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:17,840
the horrendous advancement of the LGBTQ plus movement, and indoctrinating our children,

15
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:24,240
the unending funding of the Ukraine government, and as recently learned funding of terrorist countries,

16
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:32,080
the invasion of our country through open borders, and the tragedy of human trafficking of children and so much more.

17
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:38,080
I know this extent of evil in our world can be overwhelming even for Christians.

18
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,760
With this in mind today, I will not report status of current events as I generally do.

19
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:49,120
I will have some important news links for you in the show notes, but I won't audibly review them today.

20
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:55,120
Instead, I want to focus on what we can and must do to position ourselves to be confident

21
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:03,440
we are in God's provision and protection, and to know what we can and must do to overcome evil with good.

22
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:12,320
So, with love and compassion, I need to speak sternly and directly at this time about two important considerations.

23
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,160
The first is to take a most sober look at yourself,

24
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:23,120
to know what is not surrendered to the Lord in your life that puts you and those you love at risk.

25
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,360
My guest, Alex Newman, has quite a bit more to say about this today.

26
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:34,960
Second, I admonish you to not let what you see in the dark replace what you know in the light.

27
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:42,560
God has already secured the victory for his people. There is nothing the enemy can do that will ever defeat God or his people,

28
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:49,120
and this is key that can ever defeat God or his people who remain faithful.

29
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,600
God has repeatedly forewarned us that things will get worse before they get better.

30
00:02:53,600 --> 00:03:00,240
We need to focus on the promise for our future, not the immediate visible tragedies.

31
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:06,640
Seeing tragedies to the extent we have and for the duration we have had to be this way,

32
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:11,680
to bring more people to the light of truth, there are still many people who are deceived

33
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:17,280
and on the path of encountering God's judgment unless they wake up and choose to repent.

34
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:24,640
As I have said, the time of God's grace is coming to a close, which means his visible judgment is imminent.

35
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:31,040
And it's because of this, all hell is literally breaking loose on earth today.

36
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:37,120
When things are out of control, most everyone wants to know what they can do to restore order,

37
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:43,680
relieve the pain, and put an end to injustice. In this setting, people often reconsider God

38
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:49,520
and reconsider their own lives leading up to the present times. That's God's purpose in this hour.

39
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:56,080
He wants us to reconsider him and to reconsider ourselves in the light of truth.

40
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:02,400
As explored last week, God is separating the wheat from the tares. He is revealing those who are strong in the faith,

41
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:10,160
those who are weak in the faith, and those outside the faith. If ever there was a time of sober self-evaluation,

42
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,760
this is the day before God administers his judgment.

43
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,520
I know there are some of us who are stronger in the faith than others, and we who are,

44
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,640
are instructed by the Apostle Paul to help those who are weak in the faith, according to Romans 15

45
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:31,040
verses 1 and 2. Some Christians have allowed themselves to be more focused on the evil in the world

46
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:37,680
than the promises of God, causing them to emotionally shut down. This is called disassociation.

47
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:43,520
It's not something you choose to do consciously. It is often an unconscious response to trauma

48
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:49,360
or distressing events that have been internalized. If you know someone who is responding to the

49
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:55,840
world events by disassociation, do everything you can to help them. Begin by getting their attention

50
00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:02,960
off of natural events and on to God's promises. Turn off mainstream media news and focus on news

51
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,160
sources such as this podcast that acknowledges world events, but from God's perspective.

52
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,720
Here to help us do just that is my guest, Alex Newman. Please listen prayerfully and expect

53
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,680
me to come back to more fully reveal how we can successfully respond to present world events

54
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:29,840
and usher in God's intended kingdom victory.

55
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:34,400
Alex Newman, I am so glad to have you part of our program again today. It's always a pleasure to have

56
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,600
you and you are really a wealth of information. You know a lot of things about a lot of things,

57
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:45,440
but what I would like to ask you to help me and my audience do now is to figure out where we can

58
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:50,800
make a difference. I'm a firm believer that God has gifted each and every human being

59
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,080
with natural talents and then if we belong to Him supernatural abilities as well, supernatural gifts,

60
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,200
and we all want to do something. It's just part of our nature to want to do something to make a

61
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,680
difference, to make things better. But right now a lot of people feel overwhelmed because there seems

62
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,880
to be so much going on that there seems to be very little we could do to make any significant

63
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:16,240
difference. What would you say to my listeners in that sense? Well, that's a huge question, Pamela.

64
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,840
Thank you for having me on. It's an honor and a pleasure to be with you. And I would say the

65
00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:23,920
first and most obvious place where we need to search for that answer is in the Scriptures.

66
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:29,040
This is God's revelation to mankind. Of course, there are other sources of revelation like the

67
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:35,040
creation. There's quite a bit that God has revealed about Himself and humanity and our purpose,

68
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,880
even just through nature and the creation. But the Scriptures is where we'll really find our

69
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,240
marching orders. And there are some instructions that are common to all of us. The Great Commission

70
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,920
is an obvious place to start. God told us to, He said, all power and authority is now in the hands

71
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,880
of Jesus Christ. And He told us to go out and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the

72
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:01,360
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. And then He says, teach them to observe

73
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:07,680
for some translations, say teach them to obey all the things that I have commanded you. Now,

74
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,520
we don't want to misunderstand that. We have to have proper theology. Obeying is not going to get

75
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,640
you into heaven. You're not going to be saved by your works. But as first John tells us, over and

76
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:22,160
over and over and over again, if you love the Lord, you want to obey. That's how you know that

77
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:30,560
you're a believer. You want to obey your King. What kind of adopted child of the most high would you be

78
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,360
if you did not want to obey Him? So what does it look like to be obedient? Well, we start in our

79
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:42,000
own lives. What should we be doing in our own individual lives? And I would submit that through

80
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,960
the sanctification process, we need to be working more and more to get sin out of our individual

81
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:53,600
lives. And our first ministry when it comes to making disciples is clearly, and this is emphasized

82
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,720
over and over and over again in the scriptures from the Old Testament all the way through the

83
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:02,640
New Testament, is to our children and to our families. So are you the husband that God wants

84
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,920
you to be to your wife? Are you loving your wife like Christ loved the church? Are you the wife

85
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,480
that God expects you to be for your husband? Are you the child that God expects you to be

86
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:18,080
for your parents? And so these are just very obvious, our most intimate human relationships.

87
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:24,160
God has given us instructions. He's given us the divine design that He instituted. And so if we

88
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,040
want to obey Him, we ought to be taking that very, very seriously. In fact, if the husband's out there,

89
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,640
God actually is very clear that if you're not treating your wife properly, He's not even going to

90
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,920
hear your prayers. So I'm not even going to tell you to get down on your knees and pray, God's not

91
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,640
going to listen to you, right? So these are the basic things, right? Now, what does it look like

92
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:47,280
to make disciples in our own household? Well, this for me is a critical issue. I think this is one

93
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,280
of the biggest areas where the church in the United States has gone wrong is we've completely given

94
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,240
up on this. We look at the Great Commission, we think, oh, that means we need to raise money to

95
00:08:54,240 --> 00:09:01,680
hire another missionary to go into the Congo or something. Well, yes. But before you send missionaries

96
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:07,200
to the Congo, how are you discipling your children? Amen. And so I think that's really,

97
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,400
really critical, Pamela. I think this is where we have fallen so short. I believe it's the reason that

98
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:18,000
80 to 90 percent of our young people are leaving the faith and leaving the church. Now, I don't

99
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:23,360
want to imply that parents can save their children. Of course, they can't. You know, Jesus Christ is

100
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,360
the only one who can save your children. He's the only one who can save any of us and no amount of

101
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:32,080
Christian education or properly discipling of your children or anything like that is actually

102
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:38,560
going to get your children into heaven. That is all Jesus. But with that out of the way, God has

103
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:42,640
given us pretty clear instructions for how we ought to raise our children. And none of us are going

104
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,640
to be able to do that perfectly. In fact, none of us are even going to be able to do that well,

105
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:53,600
absent the clear guidance and divine assistance provided by our Creator. But I would submit to

106
00:09:53,600 --> 00:10:00,080
people that it really begins with education. You know, education and discipleship are, in my mind,

107
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,720
almost synonymous. We've created this kind of separation in our minds and really in the

108
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:10,000
evangelical church in America where discipleship is what the youth pastor does on Sunday. Education

109
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,640
is what the regime is going to do to your child for the other, you know, five days a week for eight

110
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:20,640
hours a day. And that's, in my opinion, completely, completely wrong at every level. First of all,

111
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,880
it's not the church's job to disciple your children. It's your job. Second of all, it's

112
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:32,080
obviously not the government's job to disciple your children. Right. Okay. I tell you, go back

113
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:38,080
to the Old Testament. God gave his people very clear instructions on how they were to disciple

114
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:43,680
their children. Deuteronomy chapter six, Deuteronomy chapter 11 articulates this very, very well.

115
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:47,200
God says, you ought to be teaching your children about God and his laws when you wake up in the

116
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,840
morning, when you're walking by the way, when you're sitting down to eat, when you're going to bed at

117
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,880
night. In other words, at all times, you are to be discipling your children and you're to be teaching

118
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,840
them about God and his laws. That doesn't mean that we can't delegate some of that responsibility

119
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:07,760
and some of that authority to others. And I should clarify here, you can't really delegate the

120
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,560
responsibility. The parents are ultimately going to be responsible for did they do what God commanded.

121
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:17,920
But some of that authority, some of that power, we can delegate. There's nothing wrong with sending

122
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,840
your child to youth ministry on Sunday. There's nothing wrong with getting together with another

123
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,280
group of Christian families and doing co-op. Nothing wrong with sending your child to a

124
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:31,600
Christian school or a music lesson or anything like this. But the primary ones who are to

125
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,240
disciple their children are the parents. And so that really is one of the main reasons I wrote

126
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,080
this new book, Indoctrinating Our Children to Death, Government Schools' War on Faith, Family,

127
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,680
and Freedom and how to stop it is to rekindle that understanding to show parents what has happened

128
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:49,920
with the government's usurpation of this responsibility that God placed on the shoulders

129
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:55,680
of parents. And I do believe, and people think I'm exaggerating when I say this, I do believe

130
00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:59,840
this is the most important issue today facing our families, the church, and our country.

131
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,280
Well, I'm just about the gospel. I'm just about the Great Commission. Well, you're not going to

132
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,800
carry out the Great Commission. You're not going to disciple all the nations when we're losing 80 to

133
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:13,200
90% of the children in our congregations. And any other comment on that is just, in my opinion,

134
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,760
excuse making and hand-wring. If you're losing 80 to 90% of the children that God entrusted to you,

135
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,800
you're not going to be making disciples out of the Congo or Laos or Haiti or Brazil or any

136
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,520
other place. It's just that simple. So I think that's what the church really ought to be focusing

137
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,320
on. First and foremost is what are we doing as individuals and as families? And then we can work

138
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:37,600
outward from there. What are you doing in your job? God says, do everything as unto the Lord,

139
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:43,440
whether you're eating or drinking or whether you're plumbing or being a janitor or a teacher,

140
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,960
whatever your job is, you need to be doing it as unto the Lord. And so for me, I'm a journalist.

141
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:55,120
I say I'm a Christian first and I'm a journalist second. And so to the extent that I'm doing

142
00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:00,400
journalism, I'm doing it as unto the Lord. Well, what did God call us to do in this realm of

143
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:05,920
journalism? Well, I go to the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 5 verse 11. He says, I have no fellowship

144
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,480
with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them and expose them. So I take that as

145
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:15,360
a journalist to mean, hey, I'm looking at these unfruitful deeds of darkness and I'm going to

146
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,920
expose them. I'm going to call them out. I'm going to reprove them. I'm going to call the

147
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:25,840
evildoers perpetrating these things to repentance. I'm going to awaken the body of Christ to the

148
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,120
danger. You know, even the Apostle Paul says we're not ignorant of Satan's devices. Today,

149
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,440
the church in America is pretty ignorant about Satan's devices. You know, we think he's going

150
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,520
to show up with the little red devil horns and, you know, the Bible tells us he disguises himself

151
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,080
as an angel of light. So me as a journalist, I get to expose and reprove this stuff all day.

152
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,720
God hasn't called everybody to be a journalist. God hasn't called everybody to be a teacher or

153
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:53,520
a plumber, right? And so he actually tells us, you know, the body of Christ is compared to a human

154
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:59,040
body. And each one of us has a role. Each one of us has been given talents by our creator.

155
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:04,080
And so then the task is, well, where do I fit in here? And no one task is more important than any

156
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,280
other task. What is that? I'm going to say to the ear like, Hey, you're doing it wrong. Give me a

157
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:13,360
break. Right? God has given us each one of us within the body of Christ, a clear mandate, a clear task

158
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:18,800
for what to do. And I can't tell people what their task is, but I'd say the first thing is get in the

159
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:24,080
word. The second thing is get on your knees and pray. The third thing is figure out what talents

160
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:29,040
God has given you. Maybe you're a really great teacher. Well, maybe, maybe God's called you to

161
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,320
teach. Maybe you're a really great administrator. Maybe God's called you to help out with the church

162
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,400
administration so that the teachers, the pastors, the elders can focus on other stuff. So there's

163
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,800
all kinds of different jobs. And, and, you know, I think a lot of people, they want to be the top

164
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:48,000
dog, but I'll encourage you with this, brethren, you know, the first shall be last, the last shall

165
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,520
be first. I mean, Jesus, the disciples are arguing about, well, who's going to be sitting next to

166
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,160
you? Who's going to be the greatest? You know what? The one who's cleaning the toilet in, in the church

167
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:02,000
on, on Sunday, you know, maybe that's the best job, right? Maybe that's the job that God values the

168
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,040
most. It's, it's a humble and yet very important duty that God has called us to. So I don't know

169
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,920
where God has, has decided to place you. You probably know better, ladies and gentlemen, who

170
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:17,680
are listening to me, but the word is the first place you want to search out and then being in

171
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,800
prayer is the next thing you want to do. You know, I really appreciate that you are bringing out the

172
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:28,080
importance of family and what we do with our children because our children are the future.

173
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,520
And unless our children are properly taught and have the values and the morals that God wants us

174
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:38,800
to have, society will look exactly like it looks today. We've got plenty of evidence that we have

175
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:44,800
failed as a church, not only with our own lives, but with our children and now into the future

176
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:50,160
of the generations that are before us. So starting with the children is a really good place. And what

177
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,960
I want to point out is that, that doesn't mean you need to necessarily work directly with children.

178
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,520
You kind of touched on it. You, a person might be an administrator, a person might be somebody who

179
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:04,480
needs to be involved with the government so that the laws and things that are passed are promoting

180
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,920
family and children. There are so many areas besides just being a teacher in a public school

181
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:16,480
that we can apply ourselves to assure God's plan is going forth. And that's really our job as

182
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:22,480
Christians is to get on board with what God wants to accomplish and then do our part in His will to

183
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:28,720
see His kingdom will done on earth as it is in heaven. Now, I also like what you said about,

184
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,480
we can't tell other people where their passions are, what their calling is. But I, let's start with

185
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:39,040
that. Let's start with what a person is interested in. I mean, clearly you are interested in journalism

186
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:44,160
and in children and the family, but finding out what you're interested in, where your passions are,

187
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:50,640
those are strong clues as to how God is equipped and called you for your daily walk. What would you

188
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:55,920
add to that, Alex? Yeah, there's no question about it. You know, God gives each of us certain

189
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,160
talents. And I see it with my own children. I've got one son who you put that boy on a piano and,

190
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,400
oh my God, he could just compose a song. He could hear something and play it. None of my other

191
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,320
children were blessed with that talent, right? They could sit there in front of a piano all day

192
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:13,600
and nothing's going to come out except nasty noise. So God has blessed each of us with certain

193
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,800
talents and no one talent is any more important than any other. But I think it helps to look at

194
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,760
where we are at right now. I think a lot of people make a mistake of assuming that, you know, if they

195
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:28,560
really want to serve the Lord, they have to be in ministry or they have to be out on the mission

196
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:34,080
field going to preach the gospel in some foreign country. That is not the picture that the Bible

197
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,840
paints for us. We are ambassadors of the kingdom no matter where we are. And I'm glad you mentioned

198
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:47,440
government, you know, there's so much misinformation and almost borderline, maybe not quite heresy,

199
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,560
but really getting there. You know, I hear sometimes pastors say, you don't want to do

200
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,400
anything involving government. Government is bad. Our hope is not in this world. You know what,

201
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,360
when I read Romans 13, twice the apostle Paul calls government officials ministers of God.

202
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:07,280
What do you mean that Christians should not be involved in government? That's simply ludicrous,

203
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,760
right? That's simply ludicrous. Government officials are ministers of God is what the

204
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,720
apostle Paul tells us, written, of course, with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. And so

205
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:22,320
when when the Bible tells us to do all things as unto the Lord, well, if God has placed you in

206
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,600
government office, whether you're a policeman or a dog catcher or a state representative or a U.S.

207
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:33,920
senator or the president of the United States, you have a very clear job description. And there's

208
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:39,680
kind of a paranoia among church leaders today to talk about this. They're terrified, right? And you

209
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,000
should be scared of nothing except God, right? For the Lord. That's the proper place for your

210
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:49,760
fear to be. But they're terrified that Uncle Sam is going to take their tax exemption or somebody's

211
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,520
going to be offended in the church. If you're worried about offending somebody by preaching

212
00:18:53,520 --> 00:19:00,320
the whole counsel of God, you are in the wrong job. You are not called to be a pastor. I'm sorry.

213
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,160
The word of God is offensive. You're going to offend people if you're worried about offending

214
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,840
people. If you're worried about people not liking you because you're telling them what God said,

215
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,480
you are in the wrong job. Find something else. The Bible teaches more about government than it

216
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:19,600
does about heaven. And the church in America is almost oblivious to this fact because for several

217
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:25,920
generations now pastors have been paranoid to talk about government. And frankly, I think that's

218
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,880
one of the reasons why our country is in the mess that it's in. Pastors are happy to do 52

219
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:36,720
different versions, 52 different sermons on John 3.16 about how much God loves you. And that's all

220
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:43,120
fine and well. But the Bible says over and over again that we are to preach the whole counsel

221
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:48,160
of God, the full counsel of God. So we got to go beyond just John 3.16. What does God say is the

222
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:53,280
purpose of government was to punish evil? Well, your average American Christian has no idea what

223
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,040
the purpose of government ask them. Well, to educate my children. No, that God didn't institute

224
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,680
government to educate your children. Well, to do my social security. No, God didn't institute the

225
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,400
government to pay social security, take money from your neighbors or from you and then dole it back

226
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,880
out to pay for my medical care or free car. No, no, no, these are not why God instituted government.

227
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:17,680
God instituted government, he said to punish evil, to be a terror unto evil and to protect the good.

228
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,560
So if you're a Christian and you're in government office and you don't understand why God created

229
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:27,360
government in the first place, it's no wonder that the government is facilitating the mass slaughter

230
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:32,640
of unborn babies. It's no wonder that the government thinks it can redefine the institution of marriage

231
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,400
that of course God created to be a representation of the relationship between Christ and the church

232
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:42,720
until the church starts teaching and equipping the saints to understand not just the purpose of

233
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,360
government, not just the purpose of family, not just the purpose of life. We're going to keep getting

234
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:51,920
these things wrong. Our society is going to keep swirling down the drain. Satan is going to continue

235
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:59,040
claiming victory after victory. And really, I think it's time for the church to snap out of it,

236
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:04,640
recognize that the IRS doesn't get to determine what pastors ought to be preaching. The Bible ought

237
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:10,160
to determine what pastors are preaching. And this very much applies to every area of life. Now,

238
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:15,280
think of all the different areas of your life. Whatever part Jesus Christ isn't the Lord of,

239
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,440
that's the part that you really need to focus on. If you're watching filthy TV entertainment,

240
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,080
well, you need to submit that to Christ. If you are voting for people who think killing babies

241
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,360
with tax money is fine, you need to submit your politics to the will of God. If your family is

242
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:33,840
not operating as God says it should be operating, well, then you need to submit your family to the

243
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:39,200
rule of Christ. So God has given us instructions for all areas of life. Again, in 1 John, we started

244
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:46,720
with 1 John, if you truly love God, if you truly love Jesus Christ, you don't just obey him, you

245
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,600
want to obey him. And that doesn't mean we're going to do it perfectly. I mean, we're sinful human

246
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,920
beings. We live in a fallen world. I'm not expecting perfection. Neither is God expecting

247
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:02,720
perfection, but he expects you to want to obey and to do so willingly. And once you show a willingness

248
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,120
to do that, he will help you do that. You know, Alex, you've been very direct on a point that

249
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:13,200
actually inspired me to start this podcast. And that was the fact that I did not hear pastors,

250
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,400
not on the radio, not on television, not even in local churches, speaking about current events.

251
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:24,400
And I had to. I knew that the current events, especially when COVID came out, that's when

252
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:29,520
I started the podcast, was in 2020. When I realized we were being lied to and no one is speaking the

253
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:36,160
truth, not even our Christian leaders, I had to do something. So that was my inspiration.

254
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:41,600
And I know there's got to be that kind of drive in my brothers and sisters in Christ who are hearing

255
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:48,000
this podcast, who can think of something they can do. And I will say this, since I got involved,

256
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,760
and since I went public, since I've been trying to be a truth advocate, I have learned of those

257
00:22:53,760 --> 00:23:00,480
pastors and other Christian leaders like yourself who are working to present the truth. So my hats

258
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:06,720
off to you, my hats off to Pastor Tim Sheets. Tim Sheets is a wonderful man of God who with his

259
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:12,560
church, Oasis Church, has been doing an excellent job of discussing current events. And this whole

260
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:17,600
idea of separation of church and state, this whole idea of being afraid that your 501c3

261
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:24,560
tax-deductible status is going to be taken from you is not the right motive for anyone

262
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,680
who's a Christian, whether you're in leadership or not, like you said, our only fear should be the

263
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:35,760
fear of God. Now, clearly, one of your focus, one of your passions, as we've already talked about,

264
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:41,280
is the children and families. And that is part of what inspired you to write your newest book

265
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:46,800
in doctorating our children to death. And I want my audience to be able to get a copy of your book.

266
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,720
Where would they be able to do that? Well, the simplest place, the easiest place is definitely

267
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,520
Amazon. As much as I dislike Amazon, you can get it overnight, free shipping, if you have Prime and

268
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,080
all that. It's also available at good bookstores. And if people want to sign copy, they can get it

269
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:05,440
at my website. It's libertycentinal.org. It'll take me a little longer and I can't do free shipping

270
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,480
because I don't have a fleet of vans running on the country. But those are three places where

271
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,720
people can get it. There's a lot of other resellers that are selling it now. But those are the easiest

272
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:20,080
places probably. So, Alex, I have been promoting your other books. Let my audience know about

273
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,960
your history and writing and publishing books. Well, thank you, Pamela. I appreciate that. So,

274
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,680
the first big book that I worked on, I co-wrote Crimes of the Educators with Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld.

275
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:35,200
Really, really significant book. Dr. Blumenfeld has spent 60 years of his life on this issue. I

276
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:40,880
learned so much from him. And so, this was kind of the culmination of his life's work and my first

277
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:46,320
really significant foray into education. And what we exposed, among other things, was how they had

278
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:51,920
turned our nation into a nation of illiterates. Using a deliberate strategy of using quackery in

279
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,760
the classroom to quote-unquote teach reading, when in fact this actually produces reading

280
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,800
disabilities and a hatred of reading. So, we did that book. I did very well. It was recommended

281
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:06,080
by Phyllis Schlafly, who said all leaders of Eagle Forum were required to read it.

282
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,760
After that, I co-wrote another book called World Federalism 101 with Rick Biondi Exposing. The

283
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,520
globalists used to be pretty open back in the 40s and 50s about their desire for a one-world

284
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:22,640
government. I did several others. Obama, the Marxist mole in the White House with a whole group

285
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:29,520
of investigative journalists. In 2020, I did Deep State, the invisible government behind the scenes.

286
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:35,600
Very, very significant book, kind of showing who are the evil doers who think they run things.

287
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,600
And then, of course, tying that back to what the Bible teaches about the nature of reality.

288
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:44,640
We're dealing here with a spiritual war. And Satan, of course, has recruited a bunch of

289
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,120
minions to help this process. So, that's what we exposed in that book. And then,

290
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:52,800
this is my latest one, is indoctrinating our children to death, just came out just a few weeks

291
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:58,400
ago. Right. Now, all of your books are featured on your website, correct? Almost all of them, yep.

292
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:03,600
Okay, good. And I do encourage you, my listeners, please, if you're not already familiar with Alex

293
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:08,800
Newman and his whole body of work, let the links in my show notes guide you to his website and

294
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:15,040
allow you to learn more. I'm positive. The work that he has done will inspire you to learn what

295
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:21,760
God wants you to do. You have a very significant part in God's Kingdom plan, and the whole body

296
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,480
needs one another. If you're not doing what God's called you to do, the whole body suffers.

297
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,720
Alex, I want to thank you so much for joining me again today. And we look forward to having you

298
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,160
back in the not too distant future. Thank you for having me. It's an honor panel.

299
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:39,440
Appreciate all that you do, and God bless you. Thank you.

300
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:49,760
As Alex and I discussed, each of us has a unique God-given purpose and are created with specific

301
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:55,680
natural talents to accomplish our purpose. Those who belong to God are also given supernatural

302
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:02,160
gifts so we can overcome evil and advance God's will. God has created each of us with a specific

303
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:09,120
destiny. And as I've said over the years, unless we are living according to our God-created purpose,

304
00:27:09,120 --> 00:27:15,840
we can have no hope of true personal fulfillment. Let me repeat that. Unless we are living our lives

305
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:21,600
according to God's created purpose, we can have no hope of true personal fulfillment.

306
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:29,520
It is imperative we each learn what our created purpose is and then do all we can in partnership

307
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:35,600
with God to fulfill our role in His plan. Wanting people to be all they are intended by God has

308
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:41,360
influenced all the work I do. All of my books, my blogs, my online courses, this podcast,

309
00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:46,960
everything I do is with you in mind to help you and those you love discover and live in

310
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:53,120
life-giving truth and experience all the joy truth provides. As I was interviewing Alex Newman for

311
00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:59,040
today's podcast, highlighting his most timely book specific to the indoctrination of our children,

312
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:04,320
I couldn't help but think how all of my books are more applicable today than the day I wrote them.

313
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:09,920
You know, I mention my books each and every week in hopes that you'll check out those books and

314
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:15,120
get those that address the concerns you or someone you know have. I want to help you discover your

315
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:21,920
God-given purpose because the whole body of Christ needs each part to do its work. When we

316
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:28,560
are functioning in unity with each part doing its work, the enemy is pushed way back and the

317
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:34,880
victory of Christ is manifest in our world. I know some wrongly think the victory of Christ

318
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:41,040
will be realized once we are in heaven, but that is not what the Bible teaches. That way of thinking

319
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:47,760
is what my daughter termed exitology, living subjected to evil, waiting for God to rescue us.

320
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:54,640
This is what has caused people to tolerate the advancement of evil and this is not God's revealed

321
00:28:54,640 --> 00:29:02,240
plan. Scriptures teach that Jesus has already overcome all evil, that the enemy of God is

322
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:08,880
already a defeated foe. Scriptures teach that those of us who belong to God through faith in Jesus

323
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:15,680
have the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit to overcome evil by doing even greater works than

324
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:23,520
Christ did. Scriptures teach that the body of Christ becomes united and in that way overpowers evil,

325
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:30,960
utilizing Christ's victory and then the rapture and or Christ's returns for his victorious bride.

326
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:37,040
I truly hope to have helped you adjust your understanding and response to our present day.

327
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,080
Again, please consider my books and most definitely Alex's book titled Indoctrinating

328
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:48,160
Our Children to Death, Government Schools' War on Faith, Family and Freedom. You'll find my affiliate

329
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:54,560
link to Amazon in the show notes. Next week expect me to bring you more timely help to increase your

330
00:29:54,560 --> 00:30:01,360
understanding, fortify your faith, and lead you to the victory Christ died to give us. Before you

331
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:06,640
leave today's episode, please listen to the closing announcements and make a point of signing up,

332
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:12,400
subscribing, or taking advantage of the outstanding opportunities I bring you. Before I close,

333
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:17,600
I have even more information about the trip to Greece that I hope to make happen in 2025.

334
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,760
We are looking at traveling in the month of October and I'm interviewing three highly

335
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,840
recommended Christian travel tour companies at this present time to get the best deal.

336
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:31,680
What I'm looking at is a tour group of about 30 people, a good size to work with, and we already

337
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:37,440
have about 10 people who've expressed interest. We'll be landing in Athens and then be escorted on

338
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:43,760
a tour we can call the Steps of Paul. Each of us need to get our own air travel to Athens International

339
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:48,880
Airport arriving on what we will consider day one. Hotel accommodations, ground transportation,

340
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:54,240
and some meals are included from day one through day seven when we'll return to Athens so you can

341
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:59,920
catch your return flight home. We want to plan one night where we can all dine together in a

342
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:05,280
banquet room or some such thing, allowing us the opportunity to worship together and learn together.

343
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:10,240
The cost for the tour is estimated to be about $3,000 per person. Again, that's just an early

344
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:15,360
advance estimate. However, we won't know the actual cost until the details are agreed upon.

345
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:21,680
I would like to have the details agreed upon by the end of February 2025, about eight months

346
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:27,360
ahead of time, so people can make definitive plans. So if you think you'd like to be part of the

347
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:34,000
Faith to Live by Christian tour with me in Greece in 2025, just send me an email with the word Greece

348
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,720
and the subject line and the number of people that you expect to be in your party in the body of the

349
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:45,920
email. My email is faith to live by at PamelaChristianministries.com. There is no commitment or obligation

350
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,800
from you at this point. You're just expressing interest, and when it comes closer to time to get

351
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:56,800
confirmations around January or February, then we'll talk about the deposits, the final payments,

352
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:03,040
the travel insurance, and more. Again, if you want me to put together a Christian tour for 2025 to

353
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:08,720
Greece, send me an email to faith to live by at PamelaChristianministries.com with the words Greece

354
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:13,520
tour in the subject line and the number of people you would bring in the body of the email if the

355
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:18,160
trip becomes a reality. In the meantime, if you have any questions, feel free to send me an email.

356
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,880
If you like what you hear from me with this podcast, I highly recommend my book series,

357
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,440
my award-winning blog, Connecting with Me on Social Media, where I can cover many more topics than I

358
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:33,120
can with this weekly podcast. Also, consider signing up for my certificate course in apologetics.

359
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,920
My aim with that course is to help people learn how to not only use apologetics to share truth

360
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,400
with others, but to help Christian leaders incorporate apologetics into their respective

361
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,920
ministries so many more Christians know how to share their faith. You know my whole goal with

362
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:52,720
this podcast is to help people discover and live in life-giving truth and to experience all the hope

363
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:58,560
truth provides. You can and I hope you do personally share truth with others, but have you thought about

364
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,920
how many more people you could reach by partnering with me? Help me grow this podcast, get my books

365
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:09,600
into more people's hands, and talk me up to others to get more speaking engagements, and increase

366
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:14,800
this podcast audience. Then together as partners, we will be making a much greater impact than we

367
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:20,720
can on our own. There are several ways you can choose to partner with me, certainly telling others

368
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:25,360
about me and my ministry along with prayers is among the top of the list. There's nothing more

369
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:30,960
powerful than word-of-mouth endorsement or personal referrals. Buying my books and products is another

370
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,760
way. All of my books and my Faith to Live by series were written to help people better understand

371
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:41,200
the Christian faith and how to successfully live it out. Visit my website and get any or all of

372

these books with a deep 20% discount by using the word TRUTH at checkout. I also welcome donations,

373
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:54,960
but for now they're not tax deductible. However, I'm working on that for you, so listen in the

374
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:59,840
weeks to come to learn more to be able to support me through donations that hopefully will be tax

375
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:05,280
deductible. Supporting the businesses I feature as affiliate partners is yet another way you can

376
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:10,240
partner with me. I seek to find affiliates who can offer you goods and services you need,

377
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:16,400
and I have some very exciting money-saving America First goods and services you won't want to miss

378
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:22,160
out on. I have a new affiliate partner who has amazing products that can help you with a number

379
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:28,160
of different ailments. It's called QE Strong. Using the frequency of quantum energy, their products

380
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:34,320
have helped hundreds of people overcome issues of pain, anxiety, sleeplessness, and more. I recently

381
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:39,360
conducted an interview with Rob Bernay, the founder, and I encourage you to listen to that in order to

382
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:46,960
learn more. Use the promo code FTLB at checkout to get an additional 15% discount on top of the

384
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:57,200
for cable television, and you've been waiting to find the right company who shares your values to

385
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:04,400
replace your cable service. Well, I found it. It's called Q Streaming. That's C-U-E Streaming.

386
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:10,160
They provide over 3,000 channels, including live TV with local stations from across the United States,

387

388
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,880

391
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:38,960
owned and operated company that exclusively uses word-of-mouth advertising so as not to spend

392
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:44,240
money on commercial advertisement that supports the Woke movement. And don't forget, when it comes

393
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:49,440
to your health, I have two different affiliate partners, Dr. Zelinko's Z-Stack Supplements and

00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:55,040
Kappa Health. Kappa Health is dedicated to helping us detoxify our bodies and get to an optimal and

395
00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:00,960

the supplement and I can tell you I've been around many people who have had COVID and other

405
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:59,120
about Dr. Kirk Elliott. He's a personal wealth advisor. I recently conducted another interview

406
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:03,760
with Kirk that I especially want you to hear in light of the present day banking system

407
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:09,120
and economic uncertainty. Dr. Elliott offers free consultations to learn more about your

408
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:14,240
personal considerations and to decide what might be a good strategy for you and your financial

00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:23,200
goals. Call Kirk at 1-720-605-3900 or contact him and his team using the link in the show notes.

410
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:30,000
Again, his and all my affiliate partners contact details are in the show notes. Of course, you

411
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,640
need to do your own due diligence to make your own decisions what to purchase. But to help you,

412
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,960
I am researching companies, interviewing their representatives, and using their products of

413
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:44,960
services myself to provide you with any personal recommendation I can. When you purchase my books,

products or services, or products and services from any of my affiliates, you get something you

00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:55,840
want and at the same time, you support me. It's truly a benefit for us all. So shop for yourself

416
00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:00,240
or shop to get gifts for friends and family. Your support is greatly appreciated.

417
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:06,560
Again, if this ministry has blessed you in any way, please consider partnering with me and my

00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:11,120
vision to bring truth to as many people as possible. Consider getting my award-winning books
