1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,300 Everywhere we turn, we're confronted with politics, 2 00:00:02,300 --> 00:00:05,140 round the clock, partisan spin, campaign smears, 3 00:00:05,140 --> 00:00:06,080 and yes, commercial. 4 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,140 We even get political ads on our smartphones 5 00:00:08,140 --> 00:00:09,340 and social media apps. 6 00:00:09,340 --> 00:00:11,340 There's no easy place to be anymore. 7 00:00:11,340 --> 00:00:13,880 It's so true that our political canvas is so covered 8 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,880 with angry voices on talk radio and cable shows. 9 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,380 Politics has a gravity that pulls on people 10 00:00:19,380 --> 00:00:20,960 and it's time we become attentive 11 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,520 to what it may be doing to us. 12 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,160 In this episode of Keep It 100, 13 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:25,720 we talk about Kingdom Justice, 14 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,600 the coming election and the Leaven of Herod, 15 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,760 and we have an incredible interview with Pastor Jennifer 16 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,400 Toledo that will blow you away. 17 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:59,240 Welcome to the Keep It 100 podcast with Sean and Christa Smith. 18 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,240 We are here. 19 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,340 We're so excited for yet another week 20 00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:05,040 and this week I'm really excited as always 21 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,320 because we're talking about a really important topic, 22 00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:09,480 Kingdom Justice. 23 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,920 Sean, you and I know that this time in history, 24 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,280 there could not be such an important topic. 25 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,220 That's absolutely the case right now. 26 00:01:16,220 --> 00:01:17,960 It seems like there's more at stake 27 00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:20,800 and there are more things that we feel the pressure 28 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,520 of around us that's making this election 29 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,600 and even where people stand that much more significant. 30 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,800 Come on, I tell you what, 31 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,960 so I'm excited to dive in but before we dive in, 32 00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:32,720 let's talk about what we've done this last week 33 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,800 because God's been doing some really cool stuff 34 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,680 and we wanna share with the Keep It 100 tribe. 35 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,120 Yeah, Keep It 100 tribe. 36 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,200 Both of us very special to be at Bethel 37 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,600 at the Open Heavens Conference 38 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,320 and we got a chance to be there 39 00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:46,720 and do some ministry and hang out with Bill 40 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,360 and some of the other leaders up there 41 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,160 and they end up showing our service to 42 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,640 for their Sunday morning service 43 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:53,920 which I was really amazing. 44 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,540 And I tell you what, to the Keep It 100 tribe, 45 00:01:56,540 --> 00:01:59,000 if you haven't heard the message that Sean preached 46 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,680 and they played on Sunday morning for Bethel, 47 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,880 I wanna encourage you go to YouTube, check it out. 48 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,680 It's about the sovereignty of God, peace. 49 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,320 It's such a powerful word 50 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,480 and one that I believe is a national word. 51 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,320 Thanks, boo. 52 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,280 It's so good. 53 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,640 Right after that, I left. 54 00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:13,880 We went separate places, right after that, 55 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,640 I left and did a conference, 56 00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:17,160 that was a revival conference actually 57 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,640 which obviously loved that theme 58 00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:20,760 in the Phoenix, Arizona area 59 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,400 and you went to North Carolina. 60 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,240 Yeah, I did. 61 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,240 I was in Charlotte, 62 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,720 Canapalus to be specific, Refuge Church, 63 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,280 one of our favorite churches. 64 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,440 Dear, dear friends of ours, 65 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,400 they have an annual women's conference 66 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,120 and the power of God was so special. 67 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,360 What the Lord did. 68 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,720 And I had the pleasure of meeting 69 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,400 for the first time Maria D'Urso 70 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,360 who has now become officially a hero in the faith of mine. 71 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,080 The woman is a powerhouse in the spirit 72 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,160 and we saw women get free and truly true freedom. 73 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,960 I saw the spirit of suicide legitimately leave women. 74 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,200 The prophetic ministry was deep. 75 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,920 Just the power of God in the meetings was special. 76 00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,320 I feel like what we're seeing right now 77 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:00,520 and it's hard to articulate, 78 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,920 it's hard to communicate, 79 00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:04,440 especially to people that weren't in the services. 80 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,080 But God is doing something new, you guys. 81 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,560 I tell you what, God is doing a new thing in our nation. 82 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,520 There is a new hunger and it is so exciting. 83 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,480 The church is getting awakened. 84 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,160 I really believe that in the times that we live in, 85 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,720 there's such a desperation. 86 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:20,560 Yeah. 87 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,360 And we think that God is using that to our advantage 88 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,080 because he's answering just a desperate cry 89 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,400 in the hearts of his people. 90 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,240 It's so true. 91 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,400 You know, speaking, obviously in this episode 92 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,040 on the election 2020, 93 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,760 last week the LA Times reported 94 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,440 that already one million Californians 95 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,960 have returned their mail in ballots. 96 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:39,800 Wow. 97 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,640 The reason why that's significant, 98 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,680 it shatters all records for it to be this far in advance 99 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,960 suggesting that voters are especially engaged 100 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,200 in this election. 101 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,480 Isn't that so interesting that we are having unprecedented 102 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,200 historical engagement and participation in this election? 103 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,200 It shows you whatever side you land on, 104 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,360 everyone recognizes the significance of this moment. 105 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,280 It's so true. 106 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,480 And the reason why I think the moment is so significant 107 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,760 is it's pretty evident that we are increasingly divided. 108 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,600 Yes. 109 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,080 It's like that old Matrix movie 110 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,320 where they put out a blue pill and a red pill. 111 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,560 And obviously people recognize 112 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,760 that there are red states, blue states. 113 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,640 Now we have red shows and blue shows. 114 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,560 We have red sports and blue sports. 115 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,160 But right now I think more important 116 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,520 than anybody taking the red pill or the blue pill, 117 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,360 we gotta get back to the gospel. 118 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,680 I love that. 119 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,600 That's so good. 120 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,280 And you know, really seeing people walk in such division, 121 00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:38,200 that's really actually what's so concerning at this time. 122 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,640 Yeah, they even have a term right now 123 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,880 called lethal mass partisanship. 124 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,880 This term describes a person that actually wants to see 125 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,160 violence occur to the other side. 126 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,360 So that has gotten so out of hand. 127 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,680 And the more you look at it, 128 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,200 politics comes with its own tenets to capture our attention, 129 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,000 to shape our affections and inflame our hearts. 130 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,200 And we know that Christianity does that. 131 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,200 And Christianity, obviously a whole different level, 132 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,560 everybody, but politics sometimes goes under the radar 133 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,120 and that it demands an allegiance 134 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,560 that I think for a lot of people, 135 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,960 it's inflaming hearts in this time of year. 136 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,080 And we're being told there's so much on the line 137 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,440 in this election, which I actually believe that, 138 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,400 but also feel like for some people, 139 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,280 they maybe have gotten to the point where it's more driven 140 00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:22,720 by things that are not the peace of God 141 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:23,680 and the will of God. 142 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,520 That's so good. 143 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,880 You said a key phrase, 144 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,680 politics comes with its own tenets. 145 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,320 I'm looking at the political arena right now 146 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,160 and the current spiritual atmosphere. 147 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,720 And the main tenets I'm seeing is the culture 148 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,880 of accusation and fear. 149 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,240 And with accusation and fear, 150 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,120 it creates its own culture within the political arena. 151 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,400 And you and I know if that's what you're feeding on, right? 152 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,480 That's what's gonna manifest in your life. 153 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,400 It's so true. 154 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,040 You know, right now, and I think it has to be said, 155 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,360 your core identity has nothing to do with the donkey 156 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,120 or the elephant with the line of the tribe of Judah. 157 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,480 Your core identity is a child of God. 158 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,800 And so it's so important to be reminded 159 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,120 that our citizenship is not of this world. 160 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,280 That we're not to glue our entire allegiance 161 00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:14,000 or to hook the caboose of everything we are 162 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,080 and are about to any political party whatsoever. 163 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,200 I'm not saying that there aren't political parties 164 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,480 that cannot be used. 165 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,600 I'm not saying that there aren't political candidates 166 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,440 that are used. 167 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,320 I absolutely believe that. 168 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,280 God has vessels. 169 00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:29,480 But I also believe that God is in this season 170 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,720 calling us to have an undivided allegiance 171 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,080 and that we do and approach election 2020 172 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,160 in a kingdom way as children of God. 173 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,280 I love that. 174 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:41,720 If people actually grab ahold of what you just said, 175 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,960 it really will change everything. 176 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,520 Cause you can vote responsibly, vote biblically, 177 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,000 but the end of the day, your alliance is kingdom. 178 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,280 Your alliance is Jesus. 179 00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:53,960 Cause we know any human system, it's going to have its flaws. 180 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,800 There is no human system that should receive 181 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:57,840 our ultimate loyalty. 182 00:06:57,840 --> 00:06:59,680 The only person in kingdom 183 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,880 that should receive our ultimate loyalty is Jesus. 184 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,680 And when politics become greater than your faith, 185 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,000 that's where idol happened in our life. 186 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,760 And I think that's what we're seeing 187 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,800 in the current culture and climate, 188 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,640 in the political arena and the church, 189 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,880 is this idol where people are having a greater allegiance 190 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,960 to their political party than to their faith. 191 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,800 And that's really what we want to address 192 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,200 because we believe in voting, 193 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,040 we believe in being responsible, 194 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,360 but we have to keep kingdom first. 195 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,280 So we want to begin, keep it 100 tribe 196 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,760 by giving you several guidelines for the coming election. 197 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,760 So number one, decide what the Lord requires of you first. 198 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,920 There's this phenomenal passage, Micah 6-8 says, 199 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,400 what does the Lord require of you? 200 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,800 And it says to act justly, love mercy, and to walk humbly. 201 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,600 So the first thing you have to decide is 202 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,320 before you even get to the ballot box, 203 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,040 before you even send in the mailer ballot, 204 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,040 you got to decide what is the Lord require of you? 205 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,680 Cause you're a first to child of God. 206 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,200 And God calls on us to act justly. 207 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,960 So our voting, even though it's just the beginning 208 00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:03,320 of our ability to be salt and light in the earth 209 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,880 is to act justly. 210 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,800 And God obviously has a different definition of justice. 211 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,240 To love mercy. 212 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,640 I think sometimes we love justice 213 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,720 and we just act out mercy, 214 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,680 but the Bible tells us to act justly and to love mercy. 215 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,640 And so I think when you love mercy, it changes the package. 216 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,240 And it really is about character. 217 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,080 And that's the reason why I think that passage ends 218 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,440 with to walk humbly. 219 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,200 And I think if we act justly, love mercy, walk humbly, 220 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,000 I believe that it will be one of the greatest guidelines, 221 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,760 as well as one of the greater standards 222 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,560 that we could walk out as children of God. 223 00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:42,880 And you can't let political views be emphasized 224 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,280 at the cost of spiritual ideas and truth. 225 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,120 And a lot of times I feel like we're so rabid 226 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,040 on trying to get out a political view 227 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,440 that we've done it at the expense spiritual ideas 228 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,840 and spiritual principles. 229 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:56,960 That's so good. 230 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:57,960 I love that. 231 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,400 That's so well said. 232 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,240 You know, another guideline for this coming election 233 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,040 is really talking about issues more than personalities. 234 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,120 And I think this is what's so important, 235 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,320 because we all know it's easier to throw dirt at politicians 236 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,800 than it is to take apart and examine the real issues. 237 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,240 You know, this is maybe how the Twitter world works, 238 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,840 the news networks do it, 239 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,440 but you and I represent a different kingdom. 240 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,800 We have to take our cues from Christ, 241 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,600 not political candidates. 242 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,440 So good. 243 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,280 If someone is sitting watching four hours of cable news 244 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,720 and only reading 30 minutes of the Bible once a week, 245 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,440 barely spending time with the Lord, 246 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,840 the cable news is what's gonna inflame your heart 247 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,200 more than the gospel. 248 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,560 We have to be sure what is actually 249 00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:44,280 the primary thing that is filling our lives 250 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,280 is the word of God and the presence of God 251 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,320 were being led by the presence of God greater 252 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,000 than the narrative that we're hearing from the networks. 253 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,400 I think that's so important what you just said. 254 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,000 That point might be as strong as any of our points 255 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,360 because it wasn't that long ago, 256 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,640 but about a week or so ago that you had believers 257 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,360 on one side that literally couldn't mourn 258 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,840 Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death and her family's loss. 259 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,800 And on the other side, you have believers 260 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,560 that couldn't pray for the president 261 00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:13,360 and his family to recover from COVID-19. 262 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,160 And so when I saw that, I thought, wow, 263 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,360 you literally have allowed the political machine 264 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,680 to get in the way of basic things. 265 00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:23,960 And I saw different spiritual leaders call for this. 266 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,480 And then I saw people come in and begin to say, 267 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,000 I don't feel like I should do that. 268 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,640 And so they already had put feeling above the word of God. 269 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,280 And so that's the reason why we're talking about 270 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,200 kingdom justice, politics, partisanship, 271 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,880 and pursuing peace because in this time, 272 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,240 God is a purpose for what it is that we're doing. 273 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,280 That's so good. 274 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,440 And the third point that we wanna give you guideline 275 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,840 is don't avoid politics altogether. 276 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:50,800 Yeah, that's true. 277 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,800 Get a disciple the nation's mentality. 278 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:54,640 Come on. 279 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,440 Because avoiding politics as a believer 280 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,520 is like avoiding being a light. 281 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,880 You can't do it because avoiding politics altogether 282 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,320 is a tacit endorsement of the status quo, 283 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,640 which will at the end of the day, 284 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,240 continually perpetrate injustice. 285 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,160 At the end of the day, 286 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,080 it will allow certain social conditions 287 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,160 that aren't right to continually go on. 288 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,680 So I think what we have to understand is that 289 00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:18,280 we don't avoid politics altogether. 290 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,120 In fact, we're very cognizant, unconscious, and active, 291 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,200 but we do it as children of God. 292 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,800 We do it with, this is the key phrase, 293 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,680 the demeanor of the father. 294 00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:30,720 It's so important that we have the demeanor of the father 295 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,640 because the church doesn't have a social strategy. 296 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,720 The church is the social strategy. 297 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:36,560 Come on. 298 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:37,400 Ooh, I love that. 299 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,360 That is so good. 300 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,760 Well, keep your 100 tribe. 301 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,200 You guys are going to be so blessed. 302 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,600 We are about to have an incredible interview 303 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,280 with an amazing friend of ours. 304 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,000 And so take it from here, Christam. 305 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:55,000 I'm so excited. 306 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,720 So much on, I tell you what, I'm so excited you guys, 307 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:00,640 the keep it 100 tribe. 308 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:01,480 Get ready. 309 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:02,440 This is one of my best friends. 310 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,600 We've asked Jennifer Toledo to come on today, 311 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,240 talk about some topics we feel like are so pertinent 312 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,120 for right now. 313 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,880 They could not be more essential in this hour, 314 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,080 but I want to just also give you a little bit of a backdrop 315 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,880 about who she is and what she carries. 316 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,560 And she truly carries a revelation of justice. 317 00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:22,520 God has given her, I feel like a plumb line to his heart 318 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,640 in the area of justice. 319 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,040 And she's done justice initiatives in the US, 320 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,800 in many nations abroad. 321 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,600 The stories and the testimonies that come through her life 322 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:31,440 are incredible. 323 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,760 They'll change your life when you read about what God's done 324 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:34,640 in hers. 325 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,320 She's authored two books. 326 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,480 They're incredible. 327 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,040 And also heard her husband pastor currently, 328 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,120 a church in Glendale, California called Expression 58. 329 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,280 And they are killing it in the LA area. 330 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,960 It's an incredible diverse community of industry-filled 331 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,800 people, but also justice people that carry the heart of God 332 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:53,920 for this hour. 333 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,120 And I know that we're not all together, 334 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,520 but can you guys just give a round of applause to Jen Toledo? 335 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,360 Because it's such an honor to have you here. 336 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,480 Thanks for taking time, Jen. 337 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,200 Thanks, Christa. 338 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:03,960 It's so good. 339 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,480 I'm so excited you guys are doing this. 340 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:06,400 Can we jump right in? 341 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,000 Totally. 342 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:07,560 OK, cool. 343 00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:08,160 Thanks for having me. 344 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:08,800 It's an honor to be here. 345 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,200 Right? 346 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,200 This is so fun. 347 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,280 So one of the things I love about you, many things, 348 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,680 is truly your revelation of justice. 349 00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:18,120 And I want you to break it down and take the time. 350 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,760 Take the time to break it down. 351 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,120 What is kingdom justice? 352 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,680 And what is the difference between God's justice and man's 353 00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:30,200 justice, and really breaking it down for our listeners, 354 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,960 to give them an understanding of God's heart concerning 355 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:34,720 the word justice? 356 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,200 It's used so often, but it's so often misunderstood. 357 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:38,960 It's understood. 358 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:39,360 Yeah, totally. 359 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,280 Break it down for us. 360 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:40,880 For sure. 361 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,960 I think this is such an important conversation right now, 362 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,880 because this is something we're hearing so much about in society, 363 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,280 justice, justice, justice. 364 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,600 And the reality is we need to rally around 365 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,240 a biblical understanding of justice, 366 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,520 because there are so many different cultural definitions, 367 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,920 especially depending what generation you come from, 368 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,720 what maybe what political party you're a part of. 369 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,160 There are so many definitions, and we 370 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,960 need to be really clear and rally around a biblical definition 371 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:03,560 of justice. 372 00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:04,320 Absolutely. 373 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,640 I often think about the verse, Isaiah 61, 374 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,280 8, where the Lord says, for I, the Lord love justice. 375 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,720 And I think, OK, I want to love what God loves, number one. 376 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,000 Yes. 377 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,960 Number two, we have to know what justice is, 378 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,400 because if we have a wrong definition of justice, 379 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,640 if we think justice is judgment, we go around telling the world, 380 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:22,920 God's all about judgment, right? 381 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:23,440 Or whatever. 382 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,240 And so we need to really understand what that is. 383 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,520 And so when you really look at the word justice, 384 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:28,640 here's what's so interesting. 385 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,480 We translate it in English as justice. 386 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,760 But in scripture, that word, like when 387 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,520 you look at the Old Testament, it's used 425 times. 388 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,600 Just in the Old Testament, it's the word mishpat. 389 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,520 That is the Hebrew word for justice. 390 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,760 And it's so much bigger and more beautiful than our English 391 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,200 word for justice. 392 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,880 And you can see it absolutely traced all throughout history. 393 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,840 You hear this word talked about in scripture. 394 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,480 It's rooted in the nature of God. 395 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,040 It's who God is. 396 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,160 It's what he does. 397 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,160 It's the foundation of his throne. 398 00:14:59,160 --> 00:14:59,640 I love that. 399 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,600 It's the culture of the kingdom. 400 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,120 It's what Jesus is all about. 401 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,800 And so it's absolutely who God is. 402 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,000 At the same time, it's what we're called to do. 403 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,440 Come on. 404 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,880 So it's so vital that we really understand what mishpat is. 405 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,560 And so mishpat, the Hebrew word for mishpat, 406 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:20,560 it was understood that mishpat was God's order, God's government, 407 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,360 God's dream over humanity, God's way of doing it. 408 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,520 It was all about what God says people deserve, not just, 409 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,400 we think of justice like you get what you deserve. 410 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:29,960 Right. 411 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,360 But this is like what God says. 412 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,440 And God says people get Jesus. 413 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,600 Redemption, restoration, healing. 414 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,560 And this is all about God setting his agenda, his order, 415 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,240 his ways, his government on the earth. 416 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,960 And so it's really, really beautiful when 417 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,320 you think about this word. 418 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,760 Now, something you need to know about this word in scripture 419 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,680 is it's always paired so often with righteousness. 420 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,320 And you see that in the Hebrew, it's 421 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,320 the mishpat paired with sedeq, the righteousness. 422 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,240 And I think sometimes we have an understand 423 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,440 either one of those words. 424 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,440 And so when you think about righteousness, 425 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,040 I think an easy way to explain it 426 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,920 is righteousness is being in a right relationship with God. 427 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,040 Therefore, you go and make every other relationship right. 428 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,080 It's being right with God. 429 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,360 Therefore, you set things right in society. 430 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:12,160 That's good. 431 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,480 And so I think so often in the West, 432 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,320 we have such a private morality kind of mentality 433 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,040 of righteousness. 434 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,440 It's very personal. 435 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,920 But the reality is biblical righteousness is deeply social. 436 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:24,840 It's deeply social. 437 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,960 So when you see these two words together, 438 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,000 it's not surprising that you see them paired always 439 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,280 with the orphan, the widow, the lame, the outcast, the foreigner. 440 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,680 And so when you begin to look at the heart of God, 441 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,520 oh, this is about God setting the world right again. 442 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,720 This is about God stepping into the broken, the hurting, 443 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,520 and reestablishing the order to be right for humanity. 444 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:47,720 And so it's really beautiful. 445 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,040 So I think the best way is I've kind of studied 446 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,920 scripturally, like what is mishpat? 447 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,040 The best definition I can give is this. 448 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,360 Justice is the restoration of every violation of love. 449 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,800 Oh, say that again. 450 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,000 Justice is the restoration of every violation of love. 451 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,280 Anywhere where love has been violated, 452 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,320 anywhere where God's original dream and intention over a person, 453 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,120 over a community, over a people group, right? 454 00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:13,560 Right. 455 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,040 Anywhere where that's been violated, 456 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,000 justice comes in to restore, to make it right, 457 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,680 to set it right again. 458 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,360 And so it's so powerful. 459 00:17:21,360 --> 00:17:22,480 That is so powerful. 460 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,400 It moves me. 461 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:23,840 I know. 462 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:24,280 Me too. 463 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,600 And you know what's really interesting, Christa? 464 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,480 Because when I really begin to dive into this, 465 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,400 I'm just going to throw this out there for anybody listening. 466 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,440 If you want to dig more into the theology around justice, 467 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,680 my favorite book for this is a book called God Loves Justice 468 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,800 by Jessica Nicholas. 469 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:38,800 That is a great book. 470 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,320 It's so good on really breaking down the theology. 471 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,960 Something that was really interesting to me, first of all, 472 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,440 when I started looking through scripture and realizing, 473 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,760 oh my gosh, justice isn't, justice is so core. 474 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,080 Justice isn't optional in Jesus's gospel. 475 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,360 It is central to the gospel. 476 00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:53,880 Yes. 477 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,760 It's who we are. 478 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:55,200 Yes. 479 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,200 And I started looking at our history. 480 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,240 And I was thinking about how in Genesis 18, 481 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,320 where God speaks to Abraham, I want to do a great thing 482 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,040 through you. 483 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,520 And he begins to say, I want you to teach your children 484 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,040 and your grandchildren a culture of justice and righteousness 485 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,160 so that through that, the world can see who I am. 486 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,800 And it was always in the heart of God 487 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,600 that he would have a people who would model 488 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,000 a culture of justice so that the world could see 489 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,960 how beautiful and good God is. 490 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,240 The prophets, always reminding us, 491 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,760 we'll put ourselves in that position, 492 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,720 always reminding the people of God. 493 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,040 Return, return back to who you are. 494 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,360 What's true fasting? 495 00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:34,680 What is true religion? 496 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:35,800 What does God require of you? 497 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,800 Do justice, love mercy? 498 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,160 It's always the reminder to the people of God. 499 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,000 Don't get caught up in all the junk going on in culture 500 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:42,880 in society. 501 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,520 Come back to who we are. 502 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,800 I look at the life of Jesus, and he modeled it so perfectly. 503 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,680 I think about in John 3, 17, I love it in the message. 504 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,440 It says, for God didn't go to all the trouble sending 505 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,000 his son to point an accusing finger, 506 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,840 telling the world how bad it was, he came to help, 507 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,440 to set the world right again. 508 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,200 That is the mission of Jesus, setting the world right again. 509 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,440 And so I think because we haven't maybe understood that, 510 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,000 we've kind of maybe bought a lie that setting the world right 511 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000 again is less than or humanistic or not kingdom. 512 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,200 And the reality is it's the very mission of Jesus. 513 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,280 And it's who we are, it's what we're called to do. 514 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,280 And so that's what we get to participate in. 515 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,560 When we do justice, what we're called to do, 516 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,520 it creates an opportunity. 517 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,920 It's like we become the canvas on which God paints 518 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,000 his appeal to the world. 519 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,200 Because they see a good God. 520 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,640 And so we're a privilege. 521 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,160 Yeah, what a privilege we have. 522 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,280 And so to me, you know, even I know for many of us, 523 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,200 maybe we have a different definition of social justice. 524 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,360 But when you understand how core it is to who we are 525 00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:47,040 as followers of Christ, it's not surprising then 526 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,680 that you see all these things of social justice, 527 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,080 like deeply rooted in the theology of Augustine of Hippo. 528 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,000 Actually, the term social justice was created by a Jesuit 529 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:56,760 priest. 530 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,840 You begin to understand, oh, this is our realm. 531 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,840 I'm not going to let anybody else define for me 532 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,440 or call humanistic or whatever. 533 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,960 What we are called to do as people of God. 534 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,040 And so I think it's just something, 535 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,880 I'm excited that I feel like the church is waking up too. 536 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,120 But we also really have to understand 537 00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:14,600 that this isn't about just our agenda. 538 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,480 This is about God's agenda and his ways and his order 539 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,320 and setting the wrong places right. 540 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,120 Oh, Jen, you dropped some serious nuggets there. 541 00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:27,000 I mean, I've been one of your friends for years 542 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,320 and I'm getting rocked right now. 543 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,440 And I know our listeners are too because it's 544 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,280 profound when we have a revelation of the privilege that's 545 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,520 available to us to partner and co-labor with the Lord, 546 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:43,640 to bring justice, to overturn every violation of the love 547 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:44,440 of God. 548 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,120 Yeah, totally. 549 00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:48,080 And I think even reminding ourselves, it's like, oh my gosh, 550 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,200 I think I don't know about you. 551 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,560 I found myself many times like, what can I do? 552 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:51,960 I'm one person. 553 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:52,640 Absolutely. 554 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,640 I'm just one person. 555 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,800 And we forget, this is who we are. 556 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:56,840 This is our legacy. 557 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,000 We're anointed to do this. 558 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:58,680 We are salt. 559 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,840 We are like, Christ in us is the hope of glory. 560 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,160 We are anointed to do justice. 561 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,280 We're anointed to step into messes and see order brought, 562 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:10,520 see restoration. 563 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,440 And so to me, this is, it is an honor and a privilege. 564 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,880 And we should be so empowered and understand how God is with us. 565 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,160 This is the work of the kingdom. 566 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,400 And so when we step into those spaces, 567 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,880 to bring to get God's heart, to see restoration in areas 568 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,640 of maybe racial injustice or economic injustice or whatever, 569 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,840 it's like we understand we are moving with heaven. 570 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:33,960 And it's powerful. 571 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,120 And when you made the statement just a moment ago, 572 00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,320 we're anointed to bring justice. 573 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,240 When we understand we're actually anointed, 574 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,640 which means we carry the mandate of heaven to release it, 575 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,720 it shifts it from feeling overwhelmed as I'm just 576 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,560 one person, what could I do? 577 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,760 It shifts you from being overwhelmed to actually becoming 578 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,920 expectant of, Lord, you're going to give me the answer 579 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,840 for social, racial injustice that's happening in our nation. 580 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,280 I actually expect you to give me creative, heavenly ideas 581 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,480 to execute and release it because I'm anointed to do it. 582 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,200 And you recognize it's God through you, 583 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,080 but he's anointed you to do it and partner with him. 584 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,760 And there is, I feel like a revelation that's 585 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,320 available to us that we're called to come with strategy, 586 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,720 with answers. 587 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,000 And I know so many people like yourself, 588 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,840 because you're currently in the process of gathering 589 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,760 over 1,000, am I correct in that number? 590 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,920 Churches in the Los Angeles County 591 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,560 to reform the foster care system in Los Angeles. 592 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,560 You were sharing it last night with me, 593 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,800 and it was incredible. 594 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,400 Well, that is the mandate of justice 595 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,920 that you're executing in a very practical way, 596 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,040 but you've been given a download, a heavenly strategy 597 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,360 that I believe is going to totally be a model for the US 598 00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:56,840 and every other state, county, even possibly other nations, 599 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,000 that is going to bring justice to so many kids that 600 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,600 are neglected and overlooked. 601 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,680 That's a very practical way that you can bring justice, 602 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,400 and you're doing it on a large scale, 603 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,200 but our listeners can even do it on an everyday scale. 604 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,320 Everything starts small. 605 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:10,880 That's right. 606 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:11,680 Yeah, absolutely. 607 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,600 And I think it's this place where the church, 608 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,720 we have to move away from the sidelines. 609 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:17,220 Yeah. 610 00:23:17,220 --> 00:23:20,120 The church has been known for just telling everybody 611 00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:21,800 what's wrong, what's not working, 612 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,840 that doesn't take any level of faith or hope or maturity 613 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,720 to point out what's wrong. 614 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,720 The people of God, we are anointed when we get in the ring, 615 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,280 when we roll up our sleeves, when we get into the mess, 616 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,440 and so we can't worry about our reputation, 617 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,880 we can't worry about how it might look to wade 618 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,080 into the hard issues. 619 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,040 That's where Jesus is. 620 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,160 Jesus is in the mess. 621 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,040 And let me tell you, when Jesus waded in in his day, 622 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,280 I'm sure there were some religious that had a whole bunch 623 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,600 of things to say about how he waded in, 624 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:49,680 and that can't stop us. 625 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,160 We have to get into the heart of these things, 626 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,720 and that is where the strategy lies. 627 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,000 And there's always, it's always, what? 628 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,560 Just bring me your fish and your bread. 629 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,280 I will feed the multitude, right? 630 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,680 So it's like, what's in our hands? 631 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,920 Let's just start with what we have, and we're going to watch 632 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:03,640 God. 633 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,840 Every justice initiative I've ever been a part of, 634 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,920 every transformative thing I've witnessed, 635 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,040 has always started with something small, 636 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,120 and just a simple person who said yes. 637 00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:12,840 I love that. 638 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:13,280 I love that. 639 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:13,880 Everyone. 640 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,560 For our listeners that are going, I'm moved, I'm provoked. 641 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,240 I want to understand justice more. 642 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,800 What are some really practical things 643 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,120 they can do in their life to number one, partner with God? 644 00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:24,640 If they're listening to this today, 645 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,280 and they're like, wow, I am anointed. 646 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,880 Well, I've carried the cry for justice. 647 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,080 They can look at their life and see this fingerprint 648 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,960 throughout their life that has been like, 649 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,520 I come alive when I hear this. 650 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:36,960 I just don't know what to do with it. 651 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:37,680 What do they do with it? 652 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:38,880 Yeah, that's a great question. 653 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,760 Let's kind of think of three different things. 654 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,960 Number one is we need to have a revelation. 655 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,320 We need to get in the heart of God. 656 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,360 We need to let our hearts be actually broken 657 00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:47,880 for what breaks God's heart. 658 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,800 We need to feel it. 659 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,720 Come on. 660 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,080 It's one thing to know God's a God of compassion. 661 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,120 It's another thing to feel his compassion, 662 00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:57,120 which is going to require you to look at some things 663 00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:00,040 and talk to people and let your heart feel. 664 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,360 So that's encountering God's heart for that is really important. 665 00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:05,280 I think the second thing that's really important 666 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,240 is we have to educate ourselves. 667 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:07,740 Good. 668 00:25:07,740 --> 00:25:10,520 We're talking about articles you're reading on Facebook. 669 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,520 That is not where you educate yourself, friend. 670 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,520 I mean, actually educate ourselves on these issues. 671 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,840 And I'm talking about don't educate yourself 672 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,080 with a political lens. 673 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,440 Whatever side you fall on. 674 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,280 Come on, Jen. 675 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:22,960 That's so good. 676 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:23,800 Don't look at the agenda. 677 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,880 Don't let somebody else define to you what's going on, 678 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,640 because the reality is there's going to be truth on both sides. 679 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,120 And so you've got to really dig in. 680 00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:33,840 If you want to know what's happening with abortion, 681 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,000 you need to go talk to your local teen pregnancy center 682 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,120 and find out who are the women that are dealing with this. 683 00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:39,400 How do we walk alongside of them? 684 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,360 How do we love them? 685 00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:42,760 That's the kind of education I'm talking about. 686 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,480 Find out whatever your area of passion is. 687 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,440 Find out what's really going on. 688 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,960 Yeah, what's happening on the ground. 689 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,360 What's happening on the ground. 690 00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:53,320 And talk to people who put some blood, sweat, and tears 691 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:54,280 in the game. 692 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,320 Getting educated. 693 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,640 And my third thing would be just do something. 694 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,560 Get involved. 695 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,600 And you don't have to go out and start an on profit. 696 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,360 You don't have to go out and move to India to serve orphans. 697 00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:07,440 There are just things you can do right now, right where you are. 698 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,920 There's incredible organizations you can go be a part of. 699 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,760 Go find out the issues in your own neighborhood. 700 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,000 Is there what are the complexities of your own community? 701 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,120 And just start taking simple steps. 702 00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:19,560 And those are the things. 703 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,520 As we encounter God, we get educated. 704 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,560 And we just start taking simple steps of what 705 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,480 isn't happening in my community. 706 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,280 That is where, to me, that's where the magic begins to happen. 707 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,000 I love that. 708 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,040 That's so good. 709 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,960 So now taking it to the place of understanding kingdom justice 710 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,680 in today's church right now with the current climate, 711 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,760 so many people connect justice, even kingdom justice, 712 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,280 with a political party. 713 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,400 How can we not partner with a political spirit, 714 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,520 but stay in kingdom and do justice? 715 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,720 Maybe the best way to answer it is, 716 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,120 is justice connected to a political party? 717 00:26:56,120 --> 00:26:57,240 Sweet Jesus. 718 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:58,520 OK. 719 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,720 I think the best way to even begin to tackle that 720 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,440 is to understand what are we talking about when 721 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,720 we're talking about a political spirit. 722 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:05,480 What does that even mean? 723 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,160 What is that? 724 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,680 Mark 8.15 says, Jesus repeatedly ordered them, 725 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:10,600 his disciples. 726 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,840 Jesus repeatedly ordered. 727 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,680 Orders us repeatedly. 728 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,200 Jesus is like dramatically can't stop doing it. 729 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,120 He just has to keep saying it, right? 730 00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:20,720 He repeatedly ordered them. 731 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,080 Watch out, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees 732 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,520 and the leaven of Herod. 733 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:26,160 Interesting. 734 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,200 Why did Jesus feel the need to repeatedly over and over? 735 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,160 Over and over and over. 736 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,360 Like get it through your thick heads over and over, right? 737 00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:36,560 Like repeatedly warn his people, guys, 738 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,360 don't drink the Kool-Aid. 739 00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:39,280 Yeah, come on. 740 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,200 And when you look at the leaven of the Pharisees 741 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,320 and the leaven of Herod, most of us, maybe we've 742 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,720 heard of this concept leaven, right? 743 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:46,680 Leaven gets in. 744 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,760 It just starts small. 745 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:48,680 It seeps in. 746 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,840 It begins to just teeny, tiny bits, 747 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,080 but then it begins to spread. 748 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,760 And it begins to affect every thought you have 749 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,600 in your whole world view and your lens 750 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:56,760 and how you see things. 751 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,400 And it just spreads and spreads and spreads. 752 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,400 That is what leaven, that's why he used that analogy. 753 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,080 But leaven of the Pharisees, that's the religious, right? 754 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,480 That is in our own way, our own righteousness, our own. 755 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:09,880 It's like following all the rules, 756 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,560 but missing the point of them, right? 757 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,240 Love not being the most important thing. 758 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:14,040 It's self-righteous. 759 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,320 When you think about the religious, 760 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,680 the leaven of the religious, and then the leaven of Herod. 761 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,960 And Herod was the political figurehead, right? 762 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,120 And so what does this mean? 763 00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:24,640 And we don't have time to kind of break down 764 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,880 the whole Herodian dynasty, but this was, 765 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,440 for the people that are hearing Jesus say this, 766 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,360 they understood Herod had calculated relationships. 767 00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:34,520 It was all about partnerships. 768 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,600 And Herod repeatedly partnered with the religious 769 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:38,720 to push his agenda. 770 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,920 Herod met in secret private back rooms with the religious. 771 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,000 Hey, tell me where the savior's been born. 772 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:44,920 Tell me the prophecies. 773 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,400 And it looked to the religious like Herod was one of them. 774 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,360 Like Herod had had an awakening. 775 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:51,720 Like Herod was part of them, 776 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,600 but it was a very calculated alliance 777 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,760 where Herod was going to use the religious 778 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,480 to do his dirty work. 779 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,600 And when you look at the whole history, right? 780 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,480 And Herod was about killing Jesus. 781 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,560 And the religious really convinced, 782 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,960 they probably went home and told all the people in there, 783 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,800 you know, temples, you know, Herod is on our side. 784 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:10,800 Herod is religious. 785 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,880 And it was deeply demonic. 786 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,040 And so they understood this culturally, 787 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,520 but when you think about the political spirit, okay? 788 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,720 And this is where it's important to understand 789 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,880 the political spirit is all about man's agenda, 790 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,240 man's government, man's order, what man wants, 791 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,920 what man sees is right. 792 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,000 And here's what we have to understand. 793 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,840 The political spirit stands in direct opposition 794 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,560 to Mishpat, to justice. 795 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,280 Because justice is all about God's order, 796 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,280 God's government, what God says is right. 797 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,560 So when you take a stand for justice, 798 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,320 you better expect the thing that's gonna try to stop you 799 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,560 is actually the political spirit. 800 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,520 And it operates in intimidation, 801 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,760 trying to get you to be quiet, get in line. 802 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,080 You know, the political spirit tries to convince people 803 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,080 that the problems are solved politically. 804 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,640 It tries to get people to make alliances and allegiances. 805 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,080 Is this not shocking that we're seeing in our day? 806 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:04,920 Come on, yes we are. 807 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,120 We're seeing massive partisanship. 808 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,280 We're seeing massive polarization. 809 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,360 We're seeing people who are literally Christians, 810 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,280 who are, you know, if I could be as honest, 811 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,760 they literally like just losing their mind 812 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,320 at the thought of who they think or what they think 813 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,480 has to be, I mean, to the point that they're violating 814 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,000 kingdom values, they're violating love 815 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,280 because they're so desperately believing 816 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,280 that their political party or their political perspective 817 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,640 is gonna fix it. 818 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:30,560 And we have to get in line, right? 819 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,400 So Jesus is warning and Jesus is saying, 820 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,760 guys, we don't operate at this level. 821 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,360 You know, I don't need man's government. 822 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,800 God has never, guys, God has never ever been limited 823 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,320 to man's government. 824 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,840 The kingdom has advanced with monarchs. 825 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,480 The kingdom has advanced with socialist countries. 826 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,480 The kingdom has advanced with dictators and tyrants 827 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,880 and democracies and every kind of government 828 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,800 because God is not limited to our government. 829 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,680 And so I think what's really important with this 830 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,240 is understanding that our allegiance 831 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,400 cannot be to a political party. 832 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,560 I actually hold a belief that as Christians, 833 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,280 we cannot be too closely associated 834 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,440 with any political party because we belong to a higher realm. 835 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,000 We belong to a higher party. 836 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,760 We belong to a higher government. 837 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:15,600 Come on. 838 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,800 And so I think about, you know, Hona, my husband, 839 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,040 he is born in Guatemala. 840 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,360 And when he became an American citizen, 841 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,400 he actually, to become an American citizen, 842 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,120 he had to renounce his Guatemalan citizenship. 843 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:27,960 Wow. 844 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:28,800 He couldn't be a dual citizen. 845 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,560 You have to renounce to become an American. 846 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,880 You have to renounce your former citizenship 847 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,320 to show your true allegiance. 848 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,200 And I think there's some value to that. 849 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,120 Like for us, we have to be more kingdom. 850 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,760 Not that you can't belong to a political party, 851 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,040 not that you can't have political ideas. 852 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:41,880 Sure, sure. 853 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:42,960 Hope can't be there. 854 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:43,800 Sure. 855 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,120 Right, because God can use anybody. 856 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,000 And the reality is, if we can just speak really honestly, 857 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,800 there's corruption on both sides. 858 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,480 And there's beauty on both sides. 859 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:52,320 That's right. 860 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,720 And there can be, there's mishpot and a passion 861 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,160 for mishpot that is found in both sides. 862 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,120 There's elements of kingdom on both sides. 863 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,680 And there's elements of deep gross sin on both sides. 864 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,200 So because they're man-made systems. 865 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,640 And they're about man's agenda. 866 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,320 There's not, the kingdom of God can never, 867 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,440 never be subjected to, can never be squished into the box 868 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,080 of a man-made political party. Amen. 869 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:15,920 Amen. 870 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:16,760 God is so much bigger. 871 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:17,600 Yeah. 872 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,760 So for us, I think we're keeping our allegiance 873 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,880 and our loyalty to be more kingdom than anything else. 874 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,560 And I think Jesus really models that for us. 875 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,440 Because when you think about it, Jesus was a Jewish man. 876 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:28,840 Fully Jewish in culture. 877 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:29,680 Right. 878 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,520 Had around Jewish customs, it was raised in the Jewish way. 879 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,560 But Jesus was always more kingdom than Jewish. 880 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:36,400 Yes, he was. 881 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,240 And whenever his Jewishness was in conflict 882 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,200 with his kingdom, as he knew how to put it in the back seat. 883 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:42,540 Right. 884 00:32:42,540 --> 00:32:43,760 He always chose kingdom. 885 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:44,320 Always. 886 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,160 Over his Jewishness. 887 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:45,680 Yes. 888 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,560 So when it was inappropriate for a Jewish man to speak to a Jesus, 889 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,680 Jesus was like, I'm sorry, I'm more kingdom than Jewish. 890 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:50,840 Amen. 891 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,000 And he's going to speak to a woman, right? 892 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:52,440 Oh, that's so good. 893 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,440 When it was Jewish culture to be racist against Samaritans, 894 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,160 Jesus's like, I'm more kingdom than Jewish. 895 00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,080 I'm not doing that. 896 00:32:59,080 --> 00:32:59,640 Come on. 897 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,640 And so we have to be more kingdom than anything else. 898 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,120 And that looks like loving, refusing, listen. 899 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:06,640 OK. 900 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,720 I think this is like I've been thinking on this for so long. 901 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,560 It's like, we have got to quit forfeiting our kingdom position 902 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:15,880 to fight for a political one. 903 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:16,800 Come on. 904 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:17,520 Ooh. 905 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:23,240 We have to keep forfeiting our kingdom position of love and integrity. 906 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,560 You see kingdom people and kingdom justice, 907 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,600 they can call what is righteous when they see it on either side. 908 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,960 They can call what is unrighteous, unrighteous on either side. 909 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,280 Because I'm loyal to the kingdom, I'm loyal to my God, 910 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,600 I'm not loyal to my political party. 911 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:37,800 That's right. 912 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:38,720 So I can see clearly. 913 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:39,360 Right. 914 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,640 Because the political party, the political spirit, 915 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:42,440 it takes. 916 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,520 It confuses. 917 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,720 It creates a lens. 918 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,120 It creates a narrative. 919 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,000 And I think for us to remember, man, 920 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,400 the enemy is at work to bring division. 921 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:50,800 Yes. 922 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,320 And the enemy is at work to get us to focus on our agenda, 923 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,240 our narrative. 924 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,840 And we love, this is a sad part, because the religious spirit 925 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,280 and the political spirit, they love to partner together. 926 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,160 They love to unite. 927 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,400 And so we can throw a religious bow on it. 928 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,360 And God's like, man, I'm not into that. 929 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,160 And it's just, I think it's so powerful. 930 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:11,720 So good. 931 00:34:11,720 --> 00:34:13,640 Christa, I mean, we're both so convinced of this. 932 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:14,920 We talk about this all the time. 933 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,880 We're so convinced that God is moving. 934 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,200 And I really believe the move of God that's at hand. 935 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:21,960 It's not just an intellectual. 936 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,280 It's not just people getting saved in a mental conversion. 937 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,920 It is a societal transformation. 938 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,080 I believe we're seeing a justice move at hand. 939 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,680 And I think for us to really step in to see the transformation 940 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,480 and the invitation at hand, the church 941 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,320 has to get out of bed with the political spirit. 942 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:39,720 Come on. 943 00:34:39,720 --> 00:34:40,200 Yes. 944 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:41,040 It's just true. 945 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,400 It is so true. 946 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:43,240 It is so true. 947 00:34:43,240 --> 00:34:45,560 We've got to take our kingdom position 948 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,560 and move with heaven to release justice on the earth 949 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,600 and right the wrongs and set things in kingdom order 950 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:53,440 and get our focus. 951 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,400 Let me tell you, God can use anybody in office. 952 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:55,880 Yes. 953 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,880 God is not, we are way more concerned about who's in office 954 00:34:58,880 --> 00:34:59,520 than God is. 955 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:00,640 God has always been more concerned 956 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,280 about what's happening in the hearts of His people. 957 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,280 Are we walking in love? 958 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,280 Are we walking in justice? 959 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,560 This is who we are. 960 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,040 God didn't tell Abraham, I'm worried 961 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,640 about the kings of the day having the culture of justice. 962 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,920 He said, I want my people to have a culture of justice 963 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,840 because that's how the world will see and know. 964 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,200 I think that there's been this great kind of cultural war 965 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,640 kind of to test the hearts of the people of God. 966 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,360 Will we truly step into our place? 967 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:25,640 And I am so convinced. 968 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,720 I'm so encouraged by so many of you listening. 969 00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:31,000 So many people out there that are just saying, 970 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,160 you know what, I'm going to partner with heaven 971 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,840 to wade into these issues. 972 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,640 Guys, justice work is hard and holy work. 973 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:39,760 It's not quick fixes. 974 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,240 It's not a once a year missions trip. 975 00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:43,360 It is a culture. 976 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:44,640 It is a lifestyle. 977 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,440 It is loving the person in front of you. 978 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:47,880 It's wading into the mess. 979 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,800 But there is hope and there is strategy. 980 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,640 And I believe it's literally the move of God 981 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:52,440 we're seeing at hand. 982 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,520 What you're saying is so crucial for the hour we're in, 983 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,320 specifically for the nation of America. 984 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:03,160 We are in an election year and there is such a poll 985 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,320 for the attention and the affection 986 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,360 of the hearts of God's kids. 987 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,360 And what I love, you're bringing time 988 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,080 where so many issues are polling at the church right now. 989 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,240 It feels like in my lifetime 990 00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:17,720 that I've never seen the church more divided. 991 00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:21,400 And yet in this time, there's such an invitation 992 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,600 to renounce your alliance with the things 993 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,120 that have contradicted the heart of God 994 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,280 and come into a fresh new alliance with kingdom. 995 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,600 And if people really understand that this moment 996 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,920 is about coming into alignment with his presence. 997 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,320 The Lord gave me a prophetic word in January 998 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,120 and he talked about this would be a year of 2020 999 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,560 of not keeping your schedule of interruptions, 1000 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,280 of detours, of surprises. 1001 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,680 But the second part of the word I released was 1002 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,160 it's about coming into alignment with his presence. 1003 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,440 And I feel like we have been distracted, 1004 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,840 we have been detoured, we've been surprised, right? 1005 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:00,720 All these things. 1006 00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:05,240 And yet I think God wants to use this time in this hour 1007 00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:08,840 for us to really understand we have so much division 1008 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,880 and the justice of God needs to be established 1009 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,040 in our nation like never before. 1010 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,240 And there's an invitation in this hour 1011 00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:21,440 to come into alignment with his presence to sure vote. 1012 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:22,760 That's like the lowest level. 1013 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,440 That's actually we're talking at a much higher level today. 1014 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,680 But as we vote, we recognize God is in charge. 1015 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,200 God is on the move and God's promises will come to pass 1016 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,080 as his kids come into agreement 1017 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,720 with what he has already prophesied over this state 1018 00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:42,520 and you and I are anointed to bring justice. 1019 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,920 And that our alliance and our allegiance in this hour 1020 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,040 must be kingdom for that to come to pass. 1021 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,040 And I believe there's an invitation for that. 1022 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,480 It's so good, Christa. 1023 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,840 I just feel like people have to grab ahold 1024 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,800 of the significance of true kingdom. 1025 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,840 That's why we keep going about what's kingdom justice 1026 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,480 because that word justice is thrown around so much. 1027 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,240 Any parting words that you feel like 1028 00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:06,600 you wanna leave our listeners with today? 1029 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,440 I think I wanna just take a moment 1030 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,720 and just speak to maybe some of you who felt so alone. 1031 00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:13,560 Come on. 1032 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:14,840 I get this all the time from people 1033 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,280 who have felt like they are so passionate about justice 1034 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,280 and they feel like they have not belonged in the church 1035 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,960 or they felt like they had to do justice outside of the church 1036 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,000 or they have felt like a real misunderstanding in this area 1037 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,760 and they felt unseen. 1038 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:27,680 So many people have told me, 1039 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,920 I didn't know how to integrate my passion for justice 1040 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,120 with my faith. 1041 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:32,960 Come on. 1042 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,600 And if that's you, I wanna just tell you, you're not alone. 1043 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:35,440 Amen. 1044 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,360 This is who we are and it should never be separated 1045 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,200 from our faith. 1046 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,760 And so I wanna just encourage people, you're not alone, 1047 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,760 you're the perfect person to step into it. 1048 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,800 Be encouraged and this is exactly 1049 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,120 what the church is called to do. 1050 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,480 And so if you felt discouraged or misunderstood, 1051 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,000 I just wanna break that off of you 1052 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,160 and just encourage you that you're not alone. 1053 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,720 Powerful, oh my God. 1054 00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:55,560 My goodness. 1055 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,520 Jen was dropping just nuggets and bombs left and right. 1056 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,360 She truly walks in a revelation of justice 1057 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,120 and I really believe the Lord is highlighting her voice 1058 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,560 for this time in this hour. 1059 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,640 And she has brought reformation even on a legislation level, 1060 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,360 as I mentioned before, to nations around the world. 1061 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,520 But I do believe she's gonna bring more reformation 1062 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,080 to America because God is raising up voices 1063 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,040 to bring kingdom justice as he ordained it 1064 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,120 and he's gonna use you and I to do that. 1065 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,200 And Jen is one of those people that I love 1066 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,480 to be able to highlight her voice 1067 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:28,920 because it's so important for right now. 1068 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,120 It is so important. 1069 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,760 Well, as promise and advertise, 1070 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,200 Keep It 100 Tribe, we have the Keep It 100 Takeaways 1071 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,160 Call To Action. 1072 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,000 Come on. 1073 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,840 Number one that we wanna give you as a takeaway 1074 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,920 is don't put your trust in chariots. 1075 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:41,760 Come on. 1076 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,880 The Bible, one of the prophets was told 1077 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,040 that some trust in horses, some trust in chariots 1078 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:48,800 and it's basically saying, 1079 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,480 don't put your trust in something that's man-made, 1080 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,680 man-built and man-established 1081 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,960 because the bottom line is God holds history 1082 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,120 in the palm of his hand. 1083 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,840 And I don't believe that God is super worried right now 1084 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,320 as much as we can be about who takes the oval office. 1085 00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,680 I think God is more concerned right now 1086 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,200 what's going on in the prayer room, 1087 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,240 what's going on in his house, 1088 00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:12,720 what's going in the heart of his people. 1089 00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:14,400 And the key in this point in time 1090 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,120 is to understand political parties, 1091 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,360 whether it's Democrat or Republican, 1092 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,440 were never meant to unify us. 1093 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,440 Our faith in God is what brings unity. 1094 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,760 And any other construct other than the understanding 1095 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,840 that our faith in God and our love 1096 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:30,720 is what brings unity and our prayers, 1097 00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:33,240 any other thing is going to leave us disappointed. 1098 00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:35,240 So it's so important this is phrase, 1099 00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:37,280 don't put your trust in chariots. 1100 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,280 Put your trust in the sovereignty of God. 1101 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,600 That is so good. 1102 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:42,760 I love that. 1103 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,920 You know, the second takeaway we want you to walk away with 1104 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,200 to keep it 100 tribe is pray that you and I 1105 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,600 would see each other through Jesus' eyes. 1106 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,120 We are at a time in history, 1107 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,120 and Sean touched on this a moment ago 1108 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,920 where we had a Supreme Court justice pass away. 1109 00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,640 We have the president of the United States 1110 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,400 diagnosed with COVID and yet neither could show 1111 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,680 compassion or empathy for the other side. 1112 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,440 We have to recognize in the midst of humanity, 1113 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,200 you and I are called to bring a compassion and a justice. 1114 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,040 And you know, the word of God declares 1115 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,480 that judgment begins in the house of God. 1116 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,040 Could it be friends that the changes we all long 1117 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:22,880 to see in society will not happen until we allow God's process 1118 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,600 to cleanse us of all that is unlike God? 1119 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,960 I think this is so important for us to catch 1120 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,400 that there is an invitation of a cleansing 1121 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,080 that God is doing in the house of God 1122 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,640 because we're supposed to create the precedent. 1123 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,480 We're supposed to create the prototype 1124 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,520 for what God wants to do in society 1125 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,320 because I believe when that happens, 1126 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,080 that's when the world's gonna get free 1127 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,800 through unity and love, not politics. 1128 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:48,280 That is so true that the world gets free through love. 1129 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:49,120 Come on. 1130 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,920 Third takeaway is leave the Leaven of Herod. 1131 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,280 Jen talked about this a little bit. 1132 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,600 It's found in Mark 815 and Jesus warned his disciples. 1133 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:57,680 He warned them twice actually 1134 00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,440 as it's related to political things. 1135 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,240 But in Mark 815, he warned them of the Leaven of Herod. 1136 00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:04,840 And Jen spoke about it, 1137 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,280 but the Leaven of Herod represents a politicized faith 1138 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,120 that only blurs our priorities, 1139 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:11,680 but weakens our loyalties. 1140 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,160 And a Leaven is like yeast that works in bread. 1141 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,360 It causes us to rise once the Leaven is in bread. 1142 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:18,920 It works its way all the way through. 1143 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,680 So Jesus was warning us that the political spirit, 1144 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,480 it primarily operates by fear, manipulation, 1145 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:26,880 and through hidden agendas. 1146 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,160 And we all know God has not given us a spirit of fear. 1147 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,040 The only other time specifically that Jesus spoke 1148 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,520 as it relates to politics is he told his disciples, 1149 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,880 in Matthew 22, 21, give to Caesar what his Caesar's, 1150 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,720 give to God what his God's. 1151 00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:43,080 And so he had a coin, he grabbed a coin, 1152 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,640 and he says, whose inscription is on it? 1153 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,320 And the person whose inscription was on that coin was Caesar. 1154 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,480 So he said, pay taxes, give to Caesar what his Caesar's. 1155 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,560 But then he said, give to God what his God. 1156 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,360 And what Jesus was saying is he now is looking at them. 1157 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,000 And he said, all that Caesar can do 1158 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,480 is put his image on a coin, 1159 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,240 but God has put his image on you. 1160 00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:02,000 And so you give to Caesar what his Caesar, 1161 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,160 but you've got to give to God what his God's. 1162 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,960 And so leaving the leaven of Herod, just remember it, 1163 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,800 it involves the exalting of civil law 1164 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,760 above God's moral law. 1165 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,040 And that political spirit will always divide you at the end. 1166 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,200 And we understand civil law is so important, 1167 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,520 but we can never put that above God's moral law. 1168 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,320 And I think that's so important for us to understand. 1169 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,840 This has been such a key episode, we believe, 1170 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,040 for the hour that we're in in this nation. 1171 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,120 Can we just ask you as a Keep It 100 tribe, 1172 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,880 just lean into what God is saying in the season 1173 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,480 more than what the news media, what social media, 1174 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,160 and what those around you are saying, 1175 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,840 we want to be led by his spirit and his presence, 1176 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,680 not by a political spirit. 1177 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,800 As we come to an close, we want you to not only take away 1178 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,600 these practical applications, 1179 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,720 but be challenged to think in a kingdom mentality. 1180 00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:55,040 As always, we want to thank you for tuning in. 1181 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,480 And of course, make sure you continue to alert people 1182 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,760 and let people know about this
