WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.439 Father, thank you for the privilege and the opportunity 00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:06.179 to come together today and talk about what's 00:00:06.179 --> 00:00:09.519 going on in our world, Father, with and through 00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.339 a biblical worldview. That's our heart. Father, 00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:14.300 for those that will be listening today, we pray 00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:16.960 for them. Their hearts will be receptive. Their 00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:21.100 ears will be open. And Father, that we will be 00:00:21.100 --> 00:00:24.219 open to the truth and that we will be seekers 00:00:24.219 --> 00:00:26.980 of truth. And I thank you that Your Word tells 00:00:26.980 --> 00:00:29.399 us that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth 00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:31.980 who leads us and guides us into all truth. And 00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:34.880 so we lean in that today. And Father, we celebrate 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.479 the fact that we get to do this in Jesus' name. 00:00:37.740 --> 00:00:43.159 Amen. Amen. It's Wednesday, January 14th, 2026. 00:00:43.259 --> 00:00:46.479 We get to do this. This is episode number 18. 00:01:01.609 --> 00:01:04.909 We get to do this. Well, hello, brother. Hey, 00:01:05.010 --> 00:01:07.549 we get to do this. We do. Listeners, you tuned 00:01:07.549 --> 00:01:09.890 into the right podcast today. This is the one 00:01:09.890 --> 00:01:12.349 you want to hear. Everything is going on today. 00:01:12.530 --> 00:01:14.450 It's amazing. It's all good. We're here to lift 00:01:14.450 --> 00:01:17.409 you up and encourage you and just put some lift 00:01:17.409 --> 00:01:21.569 under your wings. You know, yesterday I had a 00:01:21.569 --> 00:01:25.209 big seminar, I'm sorry, my least favorite word 00:01:25.209 --> 00:01:29.700 in the dictionary, a webinar, a webinar. for 00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:33.219 Godcaster stations and churches. And I sometimes 00:01:33.219 --> 00:01:35.379 get really keyed up about this stuff. It's just 00:01:35.379 --> 00:01:37.299 like, you know, I've got to do this whole thing. 00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.000 It's 45 minutes and it's just me. I'm doing live 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.900 demos. And so we set up and we can't get anything 00:01:43.900 --> 00:01:48.319 to work. Like the video is not full screen. Okay, 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:50.560 we got all that fixed and the clock is ticking. 00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:56.239 And now it's five minutes to show time. everything's 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.939 working except any sound I'm playing from my 00:01:59.939 --> 00:02:03.840 demo isn't coming through. And I'm just like, 00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:08.620 Lord Jesus. And guess what? Jesus did it. Right 00:02:08.620 --> 00:02:10.860 away I heard, no, no, you need to look at the 00:02:10.860 --> 00:02:13.620 setting in Skype, which is buried way under the 00:02:13.620 --> 00:02:17.689 audio, which I'd set. maybe a year ago and then 00:02:17.689 --> 00:02:20.590 switched back. What they do is it's a noise canceling 00:02:20.590 --> 00:02:22.590 feature. So if there's noise in the background, 00:02:22.710 --> 00:02:24.669 people won't hear it. So it was just basically 00:02:24.669 --> 00:02:27.810 filtering out. all of the stuff that I was sending 00:02:27.810 --> 00:02:30.550 through it, and I just could not believe how 00:02:30.550 --> 00:02:33.250 awesome our Lord Jesus is. That came out of nowhere. 00:02:34.169 --> 00:02:37.289 A year ago. This is so good, so good. I don't 00:02:37.289 --> 00:02:39.770 remember what I was doing a year ago. I mean, 00:02:39.930 --> 00:02:42.870 literally. It can only be the Lord. You know 00:02:42.870 --> 00:02:45.349 Silicon Valley companies, like, we'll just change 00:02:45.349 --> 00:02:50.050 this. Why not? It'll only improve their lives. 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:54.539 You know, nothing more tension building than 00:02:54.539 --> 00:02:57.340 getting alerts that, oh, where's this new update? 00:02:57.879 --> 00:02:59.840 Oh yeah. We'll just update it. I'm not a fan. 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.139 While you're playing. So my Kemper, which is 00:03:02.139 --> 00:03:06.800 my complete amp system gear for playing guitar. 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.240 It's digital, right? It's a digital system. It's 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.580 totally digital. It's out of Germany. It is a 00:03:10.580 --> 00:03:13.900 great piece of machinery, a real Nashville standard. 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.419 And I love it, but I haven't updated it in three 00:03:17.419 --> 00:03:21.050 years. Because I like what it's doing. Don't 00:03:21.050 --> 00:03:23.490 touch it. I can't even imagine updating it now. 00:03:23.550 --> 00:03:26.189 It'd probably take three weeks. I don't know 00:03:26.189 --> 00:03:28.169 how that would work. Just reconfigure it another 00:03:28.169 --> 00:03:30.810 three weeks. Oh, man. I've got it so dialed in. 00:03:30.909 --> 00:03:32.990 I talked to another friend. He lives in Nashville, 00:03:33.250 --> 00:03:35.870 plays a lot in Nashville. I said, Brian, when 00:03:35.870 --> 00:03:37.569 was the last time you updated your Kemper? He 00:03:37.569 --> 00:03:39.930 said, about three, four years ago. I said, man, 00:03:40.030 --> 00:03:41.509 me too, bro. Don't touch it. Don't touch it. 00:03:41.810 --> 00:03:44.189 Would you like it? Don't fix it if it ain't broke. 00:03:44.349 --> 00:03:47.389 But that doesn't seem to be the mantra for. No, 00:03:47.729 --> 00:03:49.729 everybody always. Silicon Valley. Same with your 00:03:49.729 --> 00:03:54.810 iPhone. I think I've taught you, and I don't 00:03:54.810 --> 00:03:57.009 want to use it that way, but I have kind of taught 00:03:57.009 --> 00:03:59.770 you. You've informed me. I've informed you. When 00:03:59.770 --> 00:04:03.069 they say, oh, we've got an update of your OS, 00:04:03.710 --> 00:04:06.889 do not, repeat, do not upgrade right away. Just 00:04:06.889 --> 00:04:10.270 let it sit for a week or two. You'll be hearing 00:04:10.270 --> 00:04:13.110 about it. And you may see, so if it's like 26 00:04:13.110 --> 00:04:17.680 .1, Within two weeks, you may say 26 .2 because... 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.019 You will. Yes. Almost always. It's tough because 00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:23.740 we like new goodies. Like, I got some new shiny. 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.199 What will the difference be? Nine times out of 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:29.660 10. No, 99 out of 100 times, there's no visible 00:04:29.660 --> 00:04:31.819 difference. You don't see anything different. 00:04:32.019 --> 00:04:35.240 But then you notice it's slower. My phone gets 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.879 hot. All kinds of stuff takes place. I had a 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.579 real... Thank you for Jesus because... I had 00:04:43.579 --> 00:04:46.240 to do something early this week, which I have 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.740 not done for 40 years and just had a illogical 00:04:50.740 --> 00:04:56.839 fear of. I had to have blood drawn. Wait a minute. 00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.459 You had an illogical fear after you've had your 00:04:59.459 --> 00:05:03.759 teeth and face hammered on by Maverick? Well, 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.360 the thing I was most afraid of with having my 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:11.279 teeth done was the IV. But the way that works 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.100 is you're so You know, they give you a little 00:05:14.100 --> 00:05:16.980 pill beforehand. You're like, yeah, I'm so happy. 00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:19.639 Like, oh, what? OK, and then you're out. But 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.949 this was, you know. in a strip mall in Bernie, 00:05:23.689 --> 00:05:25.889 you know, you go in the back. This weird little 00:05:25.889 --> 00:05:28.029 chair has an arm on it. Yeah, and there's printers 00:05:28.029 --> 00:05:30.670 and ink and everywhere. It's called flubotomy. 00:05:31.050 --> 00:05:32.709 That's what they do. There's a whole thing around 00:05:32.709 --> 00:05:35.110 it. Flubotomy? Flubotomy. Oh, is that what a 00:05:35.110 --> 00:05:36.810 blood drawing is called? A flubotomist. Well, 00:05:36.910 --> 00:05:39.290 the flubotomist, whose name was Cameron, she 00:05:39.290 --> 00:05:42.209 was very nice, very sweet, very young. And I'm 00:05:42.209 --> 00:05:46.129 like, oh, man. And it's the needle is one thing, 00:05:46.149 --> 00:05:49.620 but the whole idea that the blood is going out 00:05:49.620 --> 00:05:51.519 and they're switching out tubes. Yeah, they're 00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.180 pulling these little files out. I have this real, 00:05:54.180 --> 00:05:57.980 you know, visceral problem with it. And we're 00:05:57.980 --> 00:05:59.660 dry. And I had not said anything that's interesting 00:05:59.660 --> 00:06:01.959 because we're going together. And I'm just like, 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.879 I'm just praying all morning. And I feel so silly. 00:06:06.339 --> 00:06:07.980 But I wanted to share it with people because 00:06:07.980 --> 00:06:10.439 it can even, you know, a 61 year old man can 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.920 have these weird things. And I got in that chair 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:16.279 and I'm just like, our Father which art in heaven, 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:21.060 hallowed be thy name. And I just went halfway 00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:23.360 through it and Cameron says, are you still with 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.720 me? So yeah, I'm just doing our father. She says, 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.579 okay. And then, you know, of course it was over 00:06:28.579 --> 00:06:30.720 and everything was fine. I'm like, why, why, 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.740 why? But man, that helped me so much. It's such 00:06:33.740 --> 00:06:37.519 an easy way to get into Jesus helping you. It 00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:40.259 was just - Man, thanks for sharing that for several 00:06:40.259 --> 00:06:42.259 reasons, several layers. First of all, we all 00:06:42.259 --> 00:06:45.279 have things like that that are that don't make 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.740 sense maybe to everybody else, but for you it's 00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:51.620 a thing. So I talked to our staff yesterday, 00:06:51.620 --> 00:06:54.379 we have our staff meeting every Tuesday, and 00:06:54.379 --> 00:06:56.740 I brought this up, exactly what you just said. 00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:02.180 I said, it's interesting how no one has ever 00:07:02.180 --> 00:07:04.879 asked me, because I do the Lord's Prayer every 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.800 service, both services, every Sunday. I will 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.079 occasionally forget it on one service if I get 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:14.259 too in the flow or ahead of myself, but 99 I 00:07:14.259 --> 00:07:17.540 have a hundred times. And no one has ever asked 00:07:17.540 --> 00:07:19.860 me why, which is weird. You would think somebody, 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.759 why do we do that all the time? I love that. 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.079 Why don't we do it? But there is a reason behind 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.319 it. I told the staff this yesterday. I said, 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.139 the reason I've taught the church the Lord's 00:07:29.139 --> 00:07:32.279 prayer is because there will be a day where you 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:36.459 will find yourself on a gurney or in a situation. 00:07:36.990 --> 00:07:40.170 And you will have it so burned into the gray 00:07:40.170 --> 00:07:44.329 matter of your brain and so lined in your spirit 00:07:44.329 --> 00:07:48.370 that you will automatically have scripture to 00:07:48.370 --> 00:07:51.470 speak. Yes. I'm helping you memorize something 00:07:51.470 --> 00:07:55.069 that's a go -to. Awesome. And they were like, 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.699 Oh, that's neat. And our church definitely knows 00:07:59.699 --> 00:08:04.939 it. Our kids know it. So we had a report from 00:08:04.939 --> 00:08:07.379 our children's ministry director and she was 00:08:07.379 --> 00:08:10.600 talking about how, one of our coordinators, she 00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:13.680 wanted to teach the kids the Lord's Prayer. When 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.819 she started into it, they all knew it. And she 00:08:16.819 --> 00:08:19.160 was just blown away by it. Isn't that beautiful 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:25.439 to hear a group of children doing that? You gave 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.980 life to that, what I was telling them. That was 00:08:27.980 --> 00:08:31.139 the reason why we do it. Isn't it interesting 00:08:31.139 --> 00:08:33.620 these coincidences that just happened when we 00:08:33.620 --> 00:08:35.740 talk about stuff on this show? I know, right? 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.399 That's so cool. So the big thing this week that 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:41.639 I want to talk to you about, and this is the 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:43.980 perfect podcast, we are the perfect combination 00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:47.870 for this. Somebody I know quite well. passed 00:08:47.870 --> 00:08:50.009 away. I want to say quite well, we've exchanged 00:08:50.009 --> 00:08:53.450 messages over the years. I'm talking about Scott 00:08:53.450 --> 00:08:57.690 Adams, the creator of the comics. And Scott, 00:08:57.690 --> 00:09:02.129 he was really sick for at least a year and he 00:09:02.129 --> 00:09:04.210 just went downhill. He kept doing his podcast. 00:09:04.870 --> 00:09:10.549 I was a big fan of, you know, he says he always 00:09:10.549 --> 00:09:13.220 said he was a trained hypnotist. So he did help 00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:15.519 a lot of people kind of hypnotize your own brain, 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.279 which really is no different than what Anthony 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.279 Robbins would do, just all kinds of different 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:23.419 techniques and tricks. It's neurology. I mean, 00:09:23.419 --> 00:09:25.940 it's repetition to all those things. But he had 00:09:25.940 --> 00:09:30.480 a very good look on life and he approached things 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:35.919 with reason and argumentation and his own... 00:09:36.009 --> 00:09:38.509 special brand of logic. And as he was getting 00:09:38.509 --> 00:09:41.330 towards the end, his voice was weak and he would 00:09:41.330 --> 00:09:45.350 still do his daily podcast. And he said, a lot 00:09:45.350 --> 00:09:49.590 of my friends have said, please consider converting 00:09:49.590 --> 00:09:55.850 to be a Christian as you're in these final days. 00:09:56.190 --> 00:09:59.509 And I sent him a message as well. I know he didn't 00:09:59.509 --> 00:10:01.429 answer, but I know he read it. So it was a private 00:10:01.429 --> 00:10:06.090 message. And I said, Scott, Let me just give 00:10:06.090 --> 00:10:09.509 you this one piece Romans 10 9 10 if you declare 00:10:09.509 --> 00:10:11.809 with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in 00:10:11.809 --> 00:10:13.529 your heart that God raised him from the dead 00:10:13.529 --> 00:10:18.309 you will be saved and I prayed for him several 00:10:18.309 --> 00:10:22.090 times a day for the past couple weeks, and I 00:10:22.090 --> 00:10:25.210 know my prayer was and I would even Say this 00:10:25.210 --> 00:10:32.539 to God. I would say Lord if if he professes that 00:10:32.539 --> 00:10:34.960 Jesus is Lord and he believes it in his heart, 00:10:35.659 --> 00:10:38.860 please consider saving him, because what a great 00:10:38.860 --> 00:10:41.559 influencer he would be. I know you don't need 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:45.539 influencers, God. I know you don't need it, but 00:10:45.539 --> 00:10:47.960 I'm just throwing it out there for consideration. 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:53.139 And he answered my prayer in a much bigger way 00:10:53.139 --> 00:10:59.039 than I ever would have imagined, because the 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:03.159 way Scott went out, and I'm going to play a little 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.480 bit just so we can hear it, brought up a discussion 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:12.200 where everybody is now having a debate about 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:15.200 whether he was saved or not. The debate is not 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:20.240 about, is Jesus real? Is heaven real? This is 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.740 what God did. He was so smart and creative in 00:11:23.740 --> 00:11:26.100 this one. Like, no, no, I'm not going to have 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.100 some guy who's gone and everyone says, well, 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.500 he converted and became a Christian. No, I'm 00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:34.259 going to start a debate where the question is 00:11:34.259 --> 00:11:36.700 not whether this is real. It's whether he made 00:11:36.700 --> 00:11:41.539 it or not, which is like, boom, boom. My mind 00:11:41.539 --> 00:11:44.840 was blown by this. So I just get into it. So 00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:51.809 he wrote a farewell note and it's important to 00:11:51.809 --> 00:11:54.570 note that he that he wrote this on January 1st 00:11:54.570 --> 00:12:00.029 and he passed away yesterday the 13th and I could 00:12:00.029 --> 00:12:01.669 have read it because it's been published but 00:12:01.669 --> 00:12:07.350 I really wanted to play his ex -wife Shirley 00:12:07.350 --> 00:12:10.409 Miles who they were good friends they had just 00:12:10.409 --> 00:12:14.809 separated many years ago and he died just before 00:12:14.809 --> 00:12:18.250 his his typical daily I think it's Coffee with 00:12:18.250 --> 00:12:21.850 Scott Adams. And so she did it and she went live. 00:12:21.870 --> 00:12:24.230 Oh, nice. And she read the note. I'm just going 00:12:24.230 --> 00:12:26.990 to play the first paragraph. It's, you know, 00:12:27.029 --> 00:12:29.570 she's talking through her tears. So I'm not playing 00:12:29.570 --> 00:12:32.870 it for effect. But really, because I feel it's 00:12:32.870 --> 00:12:35.210 more like his words through her than me just 00:12:35.210 --> 00:12:38.350 reading it. So here she is. He has a final message 00:12:38.350 --> 00:12:41.889 that he wanted to say. So I'm going to try to 00:12:41.889 --> 00:12:49.519 read it. Trying to be strong. If you are reading 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:53.960 this, things did not go well for me. I have a 00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:59.500 few things to say before I go. My body fell before 00:12:59.500 --> 00:13:04.600 my brain. I am of sound mind as I write this 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:10.940 January 1st, 2026. If you wonder about any of 00:13:10.940 --> 00:13:16.080 my choices for my estate or anything else, Please 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.360 know I'm free of any reason or inappropriate 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:29.200 influence of any sort. I promise. Next, many 00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.559 of my Christian friends have asked me to find 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:36.200 Jesus before I go. I'm not a believer, but I 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:39.899 have to admit the risk reward calculation for 00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:44.340 doing so looks so attractive to me. So here I 00:13:44.340 --> 00:13:49.659 go. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior 00:13:49.659 --> 00:13:53.519 and look forward to spending an eternity with 00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:58.000 him. The part about me not being a believer should 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:04.080 be quickly resolved if I wake up in heaven. I 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:08.440 won't need any more convincing than that. I hope 00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:12.809 I'm still qualified for entry. So this is what 00:14:12.809 --> 00:14:15.470 has sparked an incredible debate. I know it's 00:14:15.470 --> 00:14:17.429 it's tough to listen to isn't it man that got 00:14:17.429 --> 00:14:21.529 me Yeah, so although I'm not a believer I accept 00:14:21.529 --> 00:14:24.649 Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and then he 00:14:24.649 --> 00:14:27.549 says so if I wake up in heaven I'll have all 00:14:27.549 --> 00:14:30.409 the proof. I need to know that it's all real 00:14:30.409 --> 00:14:35.769 so This is fascinating and it just grabbed me 00:14:35.769 --> 00:14:38.470 because everyone's walking around yelling you 00:14:38.470 --> 00:14:41.720 know what you got he got saved Spiking the ball 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.019 for the for Jesus, right? No, he didn't do it, 00:14:45.019 --> 00:14:48.600 right? He he didn't he didn't say he believed 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:51.240 in his heart and I believe this is what's called 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:55.620 Pascal's wager. Mm -hmm Have you heard of Pascal's 00:14:55.620 --> 00:15:03.279 wager have so I looked it up This is so Who was 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:06.879 this guy? He was Pascal. He was a blaze Pascal. 00:15:07.059 --> 00:15:12.019 Yes And he and he argued that the reason alone 00:15:12.019 --> 00:15:15.320 cannot determine God's existence, but one cannot 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:17.980 abstain from the decision by living one is forced 00:15:17.980 --> 00:15:20.799 to wager. So he said the decision is presented 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:27.240 as a choice under uncertainty. And this is where 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:31.960 it gets really complicated. I'll just tell you 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.980 what I think about it and I want to hear what 00:15:33.980 --> 00:15:37.019 you think about it. So first of all, Only Jesus 00:15:37.019 --> 00:15:39.759 knows what was in his heart. Exactly. And there 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.419 was almost two weeks between when he wrote this 00:15:42.419 --> 00:15:46.399 and when he passed. And we have the, a lot of 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:48.039 people are pointing towards this, you know, the 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:51.220 deathbed conversion, Luke 23. This is when Jesus 00:15:51.220 --> 00:15:55.659 is on the cross and one of the thieves, he said, 00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:58.120 you know, aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.940 and us. And of course the other criminals said, 00:16:00.980 --> 00:16:02.980 don't you fear God since you're under the same 00:16:02.980 --> 00:16:07.000 sentence? But Jesus said, Remember me when you 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:09.840 come into your kingdom." He said to Jesus, remember 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:11.080 me when you come into your kingdom. And Jesus 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:12.980 answered, truly I tell you today you will be 00:16:12.980 --> 00:16:16.100 with me in paradise. So at the very end, and 00:16:16.100 --> 00:16:20.480 so now kind of this conversation goes down to, 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:23.240 well, did he really believe it? So we don't know, 00:16:23.779 --> 00:16:27.580 nobody knows. But Jesus also said, and this I 00:16:27.580 --> 00:16:31.360 thought was my great theological discovery, He 00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:34.039 said, all you need is a mustard seed of faith 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.720 in order to move mountains. So I just wanted 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.059 to lay that down before you and get your take 00:16:40.059 --> 00:16:43.659 on it because it is rampant and you got pastors 00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:46.019 weighing in, you got influencers weighing in. 00:16:46.299 --> 00:16:48.679 And it's just like, I believe that this will 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:51.580 be a conversation and I want people to hear us 00:16:51.580 --> 00:16:54.919 talk about it and help them understand what was 00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:58.659 really going on here. Wow. Adam, thanks for bringing 00:16:58.659 --> 00:17:01.399 this up. And that clip was powerful. I had not, 00:17:01.580 --> 00:17:04.420 I've read where he wrote that, you know, and 00:17:04.420 --> 00:17:07.559 that was powerful, just reading it. But then 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:10.420 to hear her through her heart, you know, and 00:17:10.420 --> 00:17:13.160 her tears, that was, that was very, you see, 00:17:13.339 --> 00:17:15.400 he didn't do it for effect, but it affected me. 00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:18.680 And probably anyone else that'll hear that with 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:23.240 the right heart. I pulled up Romans 10, you know, 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:27.130 nine, 10. that if you confess with your mouth 00:17:27.130 --> 00:17:29.089 the Lord Jesus, which he did, and believe in 00:17:29.089 --> 00:17:30.670 your heart that God raised him from the dead. 00:17:30.849 --> 00:17:33.650 Some will split a hair on that and go, well, 00:17:33.730 --> 00:17:36.390 he didn't do that. He literally said, although 00:17:36.390 --> 00:17:42.950 I'm not a believer. What I love is his honesty 00:17:42.950 --> 00:17:46.769 and the pureness. That's this purity of heart 00:17:46.769 --> 00:17:51.170 to come to God and say, I do not have this figured 00:17:51.170 --> 00:17:54.809 out. I remember when I was 18 and I prayed to 00:17:54.809 --> 00:17:58.009 receive Christ. Man, I didn't have any answers 00:17:58.009 --> 00:18:01.250 and I knew nothing of the Bible. I mean, it was 00:18:01.250 --> 00:18:05.369 all blank slate. And so what I did, I did by 00:18:05.369 --> 00:18:08.809 faith. What God honors is not information and 00:18:08.809 --> 00:18:12.549 content, it's faith. And the fact that he, by 00:18:12.549 --> 00:18:16.470 faith, wrote that out, I accept Jesus Christ 00:18:16.470 --> 00:18:18.589 as my Lord and Savior. I want to be in heaven 00:18:18.589 --> 00:18:21.009 with him, or I will be in heaven with him. That 00:18:21.009 --> 00:18:24.829 was a statement of faith. And you remember there 00:18:24.829 --> 00:18:29.190 was a centurion soldier who said basically this, 00:18:29.349 --> 00:18:32.950 he said, Lord, I believe, help my unbelief. Mark 00:18:32.950 --> 00:18:38.059 9, 24. Beautiful. One of the most... I believe, 00:18:38.140 --> 00:18:41.900 help me in my unbelief. Faith -filled humility, 00:18:42.259 --> 00:18:45.720 totally laced with humility. What I heard from 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.539 this guy is humility. I don't have it figured 00:18:49.539 --> 00:18:52.960 out. I hope it's right, but here's what I'm going 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.859 to... I mean, at the end of that passage where 00:18:56.859 --> 00:18:58.400 it says, if you confess through your mouth, believe 00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:00.599 in your heart, it says, you'll be saved with 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:02.480 the heart one believes under righteousness with 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:05.559 the mouth, confession is made in salvation. Two 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:08.960 more verses down in verse 13, it makes this statement, 00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:11.779 for whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall 00:19:11.779 --> 00:19:16.400 be saved. So as I was thinking about this passage, 00:19:16.539 --> 00:19:19.099 I knew it ended in verse 13 with that. And I'm 00:19:19.099 --> 00:19:22.299 thinking, I'm going right there. This guy called 00:19:22.299 --> 00:19:25.900 on the name of the Lord in this letter, in his 00:19:25.900 --> 00:19:28.380 writing and in his prayer. And like you said, 00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:30.319 that was two weeks out. There's no telling what 00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:33.579 kind of... things went on in his heart, mind, 00:19:34.140 --> 00:19:37.619 between that. I remember when I professed my 00:19:37.619 --> 00:19:41.380 faith, and I did it publicly, a lot of people 00:19:41.380 --> 00:19:43.740 were saying, you did it wrong, you said it wrong, 00:19:43.880 --> 00:19:45.359 you didn't go the right way. When you were on 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:47.680 Rogan, people really dissected that, some of 00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:53.779 the snooty religious people. But to me, and everybody 00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:56.160 I hope who's listening can remember when you 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.319 first came to Christ, when you were first saved, 00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:01.140 You don't know exactly what you're doing. I still 00:20:01.140 --> 00:20:03.220 don't say stuff right. And I've been in this 00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:07.200 43 years. Your faith builds over time. Exactly. 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:10.279 And it is a journey. You're taking the first 00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:12.940 step on a journey. And I look at this as what 00:20:12.940 --> 00:20:16.559 your friend did. This was his first step. And 00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:19.380 people can get incensed that it happened at the 00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:22.920 end of his life. Why don't we just rejoice? Annette's 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:27.059 dad on his deathbed received Christ as his Savior 00:20:27.059 --> 00:20:30.900 and his Lord. And for the few two, three weeks, 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:35.400 he was a changed man. He grew tender. He told 00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:37.819 Annette he loved her for the first time in her 00:20:37.819 --> 00:20:40.579 life. She didn't hear that until she was an adult, 00:20:40.579 --> 00:20:42.900 until he was about to die. But it was because 00:20:42.900 --> 00:20:46.079 the Lord transformed his heart right there. Well, 00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:49.660 is that fair? Who cares if it's fair? It's the 00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:52.859 kingdom of God and the gospel doing what the 00:20:52.859 --> 00:20:55.710 gospel does. The Bible says that the gospel is 00:20:55.710 --> 00:21:01.490 the power of God unto salvation. Who am I to 00:21:01.490 --> 00:21:05.009 cheer or not cheer when someone says, I don't 00:21:05.009 --> 00:21:06.849 know how to say it all right, but here's what 00:21:06.849 --> 00:21:08.890 I think. I remember people got bent out of shape 00:21:08.890 --> 00:21:10.369 when Trump was saying, well, I hope I get to 00:21:10.369 --> 00:21:12.789 heaven. People got all worked up about that. 00:21:12.950 --> 00:21:16.769 I'm like, take the win. The guy's open. The guy's 00:21:16.769 --> 00:21:20.809 hungry. The guy's listening. I think we just 00:21:20.809 --> 00:21:27.049 get so freaking judgmental. because they don't 00:21:27.049 --> 00:21:30.029 do it exactly like I wanted them to do it, or 00:21:30.029 --> 00:21:32.910 I hope they would do it, or I know how they should 00:21:32.910 --> 00:21:37.829 do it. The older I get, the less I know. It's 00:21:37.829 --> 00:21:41.109 just been real. There are days when I say, Lord, 00:21:41.430 --> 00:21:44.829 I almost feel like I know nothing. Well, it's 00:21:44.829 --> 00:21:48.150 interesting because Tina and I had this conversation 00:21:48.150 --> 00:21:50.710 yesterday when he passed, and Tina's like, isn't 00:21:50.710 --> 00:21:54.410 it great? I say, well, No. And I was literally 00:21:54.410 --> 00:21:57.869 going to the literal words. I'm like, no, because 00:21:57.869 --> 00:22:00.710 he didn't believe it in his heart. How quickly 00:22:00.710 --> 00:22:03.049 that came up, right? Me, right? Interesting. 00:22:03.750 --> 00:22:06.609 And it wasn't until this morning when I was really 00:22:06.609 --> 00:22:08.690 sitting down and thinking about it and prayed 00:22:08.690 --> 00:22:12.650 for him again. And then the Holy Spirit just 00:22:12.650 --> 00:22:16.630 like said, go look at this one. And then, you 00:22:16.630 --> 00:22:18.589 know, and then what about that mustard seed? 00:22:18.950 --> 00:22:23.759 And then you're right about the centurion. and 00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:26.480 help me in my unbelief. Man, reading the Bible 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.180 is really helpful. Isn't it though? What it does, 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.220 if you think about the genius of God, I mean, 00:22:33.220 --> 00:22:35.299 it sounds silly to call him a genius, we already 00:22:35.299 --> 00:22:38.640 know he is, but he is, I'm just saying it. And 00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:43.740 that he puts these open -ended things all throughout 00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:47.119 Scripture, because I think if he gave us a formula, 00:22:47.900 --> 00:22:50.410 we would just... put it in a book and sell it. 00:22:50.490 --> 00:22:52.349 We'd write songs about it and make money on it. 00:22:52.390 --> 00:22:55.210 I mean, we would just, we'd monetize everything 00:22:55.210 --> 00:22:58.410 about it. We would metric everything about it. 00:22:58.470 --> 00:23:02.390 We would do that anyway in what we believe. But 00:23:02.390 --> 00:23:06.589 my goodness, humility, which is such an underrated 00:23:06.589 --> 00:23:10.869 virtue, and honesty, another underrated virtue, 00:23:11.809 --> 00:23:15.529 and grace, all these things, humility, grace. 00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:21.259 the idea of I could be wrong. I mean, 43 years, 00:23:21.420 --> 00:23:24.380 well, I've been in ministry doing this 41 years. 00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:26.740 I finally calculated the other, I was like, oh 00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:29.960 wait, I was off a year. So 41 years of doing 00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:35.359 this. And to this day, I still will say and caveat 00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:39.980 things with I could be wrong. Because I'm certain, 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.859 But there's always that because I don't ever 00:23:44.859 --> 00:23:47.039 want to think I've got this all figured out. 00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:50.559 Because the moment I do, God gets a big delight, 00:23:50.579 --> 00:23:53.000 a big kick out of rocking my theological boat. 00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:57.059 And so if we cannot walk in humility to say, 00:23:57.160 --> 00:23:59.839 you know what, my entire journey of walking with 00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:03.420 Jesus has been a series of oops, off course, 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:06.720 oops, course correction, oops, back up, get another 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:09.440 run at it. My whole life has been that way. It 00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:12.589 is not one straight linear line. It's all over 00:24:12.589 --> 00:24:16.730 the place. It's like a roller coaster. And even 00:24:16.730 --> 00:24:20.309 at this age, it's not like I'm just constantly 00:24:20.309 --> 00:24:25.609 sitting around questioning everything. When I 00:24:25.609 --> 00:24:27.990 make a definitive statement, I've always got 00:24:27.990 --> 00:24:30.069 this in the back of my mind. I could be wrong. 00:24:31.210 --> 00:24:34.970 And it may be nuanced. Because isn't maturity 00:24:34.970 --> 00:24:37.710 growing in the nuances, not just the big epic 00:24:37.710 --> 00:24:42.819 things? So I'm not going to sit and take this 00:24:42.819 --> 00:24:49.640 man's final words and break it apart. I'm going 00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:52.660 to take it for the win that it is. And at the 00:24:52.660 --> 00:24:55.119 end of the day, I'm not the judge anyway. It 00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:58.380 doesn't even matter what I think. And the fact 00:24:58.380 --> 00:25:01.400 that people will sit and postulate on a microphone 00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:05.480 over this guy's statement, it just really bothers 00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:08.039 me. And here we are kind of doing it. No, we're 00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:10.400 not. I'm not. We're not splitting hairs on what 00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:12.880 he said. Good point. We're saying this is a win, 00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:16.660 you know, and he had two more weeks to maybe 00:25:16.660 --> 00:25:19.740 at another level. Who knows? That's the part 00:25:19.740 --> 00:25:21.660 that really hit me this morning. It's like, wait 00:25:21.660 --> 00:25:23.799 a minute, this was January 1st. He had two weeks. 00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:27.000 Oh man, so much can happen. And also I was kind 00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.660 of mad at myself. Like that was my first initial 00:25:29.660 --> 00:25:32.319 response with, no, he didn't do it right. I'm 00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:35.250 like, wow, Adam Curry. Whereas my mom would say, 00:25:35.470 --> 00:25:38.150 Adam Clark, hurry. You did not just do that. 00:25:38.390 --> 00:25:40.589 You know exactly how that feels. You hear that 00:25:40.589 --> 00:25:43.509 voice in your head. I hope she's in heaven. She's 00:25:43.509 --> 00:25:47.589 talking to me from there, man. I hear that whenever 00:25:47.589 --> 00:25:49.890 Tina says my name. Isn't it funny, though, how 00:25:49.890 --> 00:25:55.029 we want to boil things down to the simplest element. 00:25:56.369 --> 00:25:59.809 And to me, it's complex and simple at the same 00:25:59.809 --> 00:26:03.720 time. The complexity is the nuances of everything. 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:05.720 We don't know his intent. We don't know his heart. 00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:08.940 We don't know. He just wrote a sentence, very 00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:13.400 honest and very humble. And, you know, I'm not 00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:15.680 sitting in the seat going, yeah, yeah, he didn't 00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.259 do it quite right. You know, he missed that belief 00:26:18.259 --> 00:26:20.160 in your heart. He actually confessed it. You 00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:22.240 know, I mean, you could hash that out all day. 00:26:22.539 --> 00:26:25.240 It won't make a hill of beans. I don't think 00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:29.210 God, Jesus, Holy spirits up there just... with 00:26:29.210 --> 00:26:31.450 a little checkbook and going, okay, we've got 00:26:31.450 --> 00:26:34.829 three out of five. Okay, let's let him in. Come 00:26:34.829 --> 00:26:38.589 on. By the way, we are, we are educated from 00:26:38.589 --> 00:26:41.250 a very young age. That's exactly how it goes. 00:26:41.430 --> 00:26:43.769 You come to the gate and there's, and there's 00:26:43.769 --> 00:26:47.829 Peter going like, no, I don't think so. So, which 00:26:47.829 --> 00:26:50.869 is kind of, it's kind of mean, you know, when, 00:26:51.309 --> 00:26:53.829 because that's, well, what we put it, that's 00:26:53.829 --> 00:26:57.809 spiritual abuse. Very real. So if anything, it's, 00:26:58.230 --> 00:27:00.700 it's It's manipulation. It may not be abuse, 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:03.319 but it's a manipulation. I grew up with so many, 00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:06.599 the two cartoons I always remember were, there's 00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:08.339 St. Peter and he's looking at the check mark. 00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:10.460 He's like, no. And then the other one is the 00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:12.940 little devil on one shoulder and the angel on 00:27:12.940 --> 00:27:16.940 the other, which is actually kind of more realistic 00:27:16.940 --> 00:27:18.980 than the check marks at the gate. That one feels 00:27:18.980 --> 00:27:20.799 a little more real. It does. Yeah. And then the 00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:23.700 check marks at the gate. So, well, good. I just 00:27:23.700 --> 00:27:25.400 wanted to make sure that we talked about it. 00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:28.289 Thank you for bringing that up. Oh man, the Lord 00:27:28.289 --> 00:27:31.349 put this on my heart this morning so hard, like 00:27:31.349 --> 00:27:33.650 you got it. You know, because I always say, you 00:27:33.650 --> 00:27:36.049 know, daily bread, Lord give me guidance and 00:27:36.049 --> 00:27:39.069 provision. And the guidance was, this is what 00:27:39.069 --> 00:27:41.029 you got to do. The provision was the Scripture 00:27:41.029 --> 00:27:43.930 and her, and the clip of her saying that, and 00:27:43.930 --> 00:27:46.430 I'm like, oh, okay, I got it. This is what I 00:27:46.430 --> 00:27:47.250 got to talk about. Wow, man, that's beautiful. 00:27:47.710 --> 00:27:51.309 That was really moving for me, hearing her tears 00:27:51.309 --> 00:27:55.089 and hearing her heart in it. At the end of the 00:27:55.089 --> 00:27:58.299 day, we don't know. No. And do we know anything 00:27:58.299 --> 00:28:00.740 at the end of the day? We know very little, but 00:28:00.740 --> 00:28:03.799 very little we can be certain of. I mean, everything 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:05.740 down here is a big gamble where we're saying 00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:12.519 up to this date of January 14th, 2026, to the 00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:14.680 best of my ability, this is how I interpret this. 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.119 But five years from now, I may have a different 00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:21.759 take on some of these things. And that may sound 00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:26.869 uncertain or wishy -washy for a seasoned pastor 00:28:26.869 --> 00:28:30.710 who's studied the Bible all of his adult life 00:28:30.710 --> 00:28:33.529 to say something like that. But I hope it lands. 00:28:33.730 --> 00:28:37.069 No, that's honest. And at the end of the day, 00:28:37.349 --> 00:28:41.609 we walk by faith and not by sight. And my faith 00:28:41.609 --> 00:28:45.710 tells me, I do believe, I do trust, I am forgiven. 00:28:45.930 --> 00:28:48.650 I will spend eternity with Him. Everything else 00:28:48.650 --> 00:28:51.150 is up for grabs. You know, right after I was 00:28:51.150 --> 00:28:53.089 doing this, before I came over, there was a, 00:28:53.089 --> 00:28:55.630 you know, where we're presenting again at the 00:28:55.630 --> 00:28:58.529 National Religious Broadcasters Conference. And 00:28:58.529 --> 00:29:01.150 there was an email. I should see if I still have 00:29:01.150 --> 00:29:05.789 that. Sure. Just to show you the dichotomy of 00:29:05.789 --> 00:29:10.509 my world sometimes. Joseph F Drummond, have you 00:29:10.509 --> 00:29:12.650 ever heard of Joseph F Drummond? Well, there 00:29:12.650 --> 00:29:17.089 is a Dr. Drummond that I've heard of. And I'll 00:29:17.089 --> 00:29:20.680 just so dear Adam. The veil is tearing. The birth 00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:22.660 pains are no longer. Whispers, they're screaming. 00:29:23.180 --> 00:29:25.380 Iran is in flames. The Ayatollah's regime is 00:29:25.380 --> 00:29:29.240 teetering on collapse. This is a religious broadcasters... 00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:33.259 mailing list. Russia is massing troops on Europe's 00:29:33.259 --> 00:29:35.180 doorstep and the Red Heifer is still going to 00:29:35.180 --> 00:29:37.079 be sacrificed. These are not random headlines. 00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:38.920 Just look at all, look at all the images. We 00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:44.259 got like, here, flee. We've got fire. We got 00:29:44.259 --> 00:29:47.559 explosions. I'm like, what is going on with this? 00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:50.980 Not the Dr. Drummond I know. No, I don't know 00:29:50.980 --> 00:29:54.529 who this Joseph F. Drummond is. Wow. come on 00:29:54.529 --> 00:29:57.150 man and then look there's the heifers and what 00:29:57.150 --> 00:30:00.230 what is going on with this like calm down when 00:30:00.230 --> 00:30:03.849 i hear that kind of alarmist it's it sounds to 00:30:03.849 --> 00:30:07.230 me outsider looking in that he wants this to 00:30:07.230 --> 00:30:11.130 happen it's like he's manifesting finally yeah 00:30:11.130 --> 00:30:13.750 finally we're there and it's like wow is that 00:30:13.750 --> 00:30:18.309 your heart because i don't mean any disrespect 00:30:18.309 --> 00:30:21.500 or dishonor to god but i'm like God, there's 00:30:21.500 --> 00:30:23.259 part of me that wants you to come back soon. 00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:25.099 There's a part of me that wants you to wait because 00:30:25.099 --> 00:30:27.140 we've got to win a lot more people to Jesus. 00:30:27.259 --> 00:30:30.319 We've got disciples to make. We've got work to 00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:35.079 do. Give us a little longer. You remember that 00:30:35.079 --> 00:30:38.119 movie about Ridge? It was the guy who saved a 00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.599 bunch of people. It was in World War II on the 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:44.569 landing on the beach. Maybe Normandy. And he 00:30:44.569 --> 00:30:47.670 kept pulling them up the hill and saving them, 00:30:47.910 --> 00:30:49.670 letting them down. People had been wounded. It's 00:30:49.670 --> 00:30:51.809 like every World War II movie I've ever seen. 00:30:52.289 --> 00:30:54.490 Yeah, this is a true story. But his prayer was 00:30:54.490 --> 00:30:58.150 just one more. Just one more. Just one more, 00:30:58.150 --> 00:31:02.089 Lord. And when I read something like that, it 00:31:02.089 --> 00:31:05.680 bothers me because I'm like... instead of having 00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:08.460 a just one more, he's just like going, bring 00:31:08.460 --> 00:31:12.440 it on. He didn't say that specifically, but we're 00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:15.279 right there. And I'm like, just one more, Lord. 00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:19.599 Man, come on. You said something shocking on 00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:22.420 Sunday, which by the way was a great service. 00:31:22.460 --> 00:31:26.240 It was so wonderful. Now, I couldn't look around 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:29.140 because I was just worshiping. Were the hands 00:31:29.140 --> 00:31:32.440 up in the air, man? Were people into it? Because 00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:35.740 it sure felt like it. Through the progression 00:31:35.740 --> 00:31:38.099 of the service, by the end, it was almost every 00:31:38.099 --> 00:31:39.759 hand in both services. Beautiful. Beautiful. 00:31:40.019 --> 00:31:44.799 I mean, I was actually tired, uplifted, but tired. 00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:47.140 I'm like, wow, because I had to do my show right 00:31:47.140 --> 00:31:49.299 after the service. That's right. That's a lot. 00:31:49.380 --> 00:31:51.059 I was like, holy moly, I'm wrecked here. What 00:31:51.059 --> 00:31:53.059 happened? Oh, that's right. We were worshiping. 00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:54.380 We were having to stand up, sit down. We were 00:31:54.380 --> 00:31:57.240 Catholic. It was more than that. It was just 00:31:57.240 --> 00:31:59.960 giving it to God. Yeah, the energy. It was fantastic. 00:32:00.180 --> 00:32:02.589 Anyway, so... You said, and I know it was shocking 00:32:02.589 --> 00:32:06.630 because there was an audible gasp. You said you 00:32:06.630 --> 00:32:11.809 had a dream. You want to just. Glad to share 00:32:11.809 --> 00:32:13.549 that. Relay that. Yeah, I'm just going to share 00:32:13.549 --> 00:32:16.109 with you what happened to me and people can judge 00:32:16.109 --> 00:32:19.009 it like they want. I really don't care. And I 00:32:19.009 --> 00:32:21.349 don't mean that in a mean way. Just I don't because 00:32:21.349 --> 00:32:24.250 it happened to me a few nights ago. It would 00:32:24.250 --> 00:32:27.970 have been about a week ago, probably now. I had 00:32:27.970 --> 00:32:31.769 one of those jolt you awake moments, like a full 00:32:31.769 --> 00:32:35.069 blown adrenaline rush where your second thought 00:32:35.069 --> 00:32:37.970 is, it's going to take me two hours to get back 00:32:37.970 --> 00:32:40.869 to sleep because I was literally shaking. I mean, 00:32:40.970 --> 00:32:43.390 from adrenaline, not shaking out of emotions 00:32:43.390 --> 00:32:47.470 or anything, just adrenaline and heart bumping. 00:32:48.150 --> 00:32:52.289 And I heard a voice and I couldn't tell if the 00:32:52.289 --> 00:32:55.970 voice woke me up. or if I heard it while I was 00:32:55.970 --> 00:32:59.809 waking up, but it was very clear and it was deep 00:32:59.809 --> 00:33:05.109 and resonant. And it said, he is coming. And 00:33:05.109 --> 00:33:07.150 I didn't go into detail in the church because 00:33:07.150 --> 00:33:11.230 for brevity's sake, but I had two reactions to 00:33:11.230 --> 00:33:14.369 that. The first one was fear. And it was fear 00:33:14.369 --> 00:33:17.130 that it was the devil or a demonic entity telling 00:33:17.130 --> 00:33:21.299 me the enemy's coming, like he is coming. the 00:33:21.299 --> 00:33:23.680 Antichrist or something. That was the first thought 00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:26.240 because I'm in the middle of a full -blown adrenaline 00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:30.599 rush. That's survival mode. So I had a negative 00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:33.160 connotation at first, and that was a very split 00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:36.000 second. Then immediately it switched to, wait, 00:33:36.500 --> 00:33:39.900 I think that was the Lord or an angel or something. 00:33:40.779 --> 00:33:45.259 I don't know what, but I felt like I've heard 00:33:45.259 --> 00:33:47.559 the audible voice of God maybe once or twice 00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:50.319 in my life, my whole Christian experience, people. 00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:52.299 Sometimes people talk to him all the time. I'm 00:33:52.299 --> 00:33:54.660 like, really? Man, I don't get that. But anyway, 00:33:55.019 --> 00:33:59.059 yay for you. You know, nay for me. But so this 00:33:59.059 --> 00:34:01.180 might have been the second or third time. I can 00:34:01.180 --> 00:34:03.220 definitely tell you it's the second for sure. 00:34:04.259 --> 00:34:07.640 And it really rocked me. And normally I'd go 00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:09.360 right back to sleep, not even remember that. 00:34:09.900 --> 00:34:12.159 You know what was shocking to me? You hadn't 00:34:12.159 --> 00:34:14.699 texted me that. Sorry. What's up with that, brother? 00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:17.369 We text everything, right? Well, it kind of was, 00:34:17.429 --> 00:34:19.730 you know, I did go back to sleep. And so it's 00:34:19.730 --> 00:34:21.750 sort of like, I almost forgot about it for a 00:34:21.750 --> 00:34:23.449 couple of days. I'm just kidding, obviously. 00:34:24.150 --> 00:34:27.210 But yeah, it was a jolt. Yeah. Well, he is coming. 00:34:27.210 --> 00:34:29.230 Remember Jolt Cola? Yes, I do. It was like drinking 00:34:29.230 --> 00:34:31.429 a couple of those, slamming a couple back to 00:34:31.429 --> 00:34:35.010 back. Just full adrenaline rush. Well, he is 00:34:35.010 --> 00:34:37.650 coming. We just don't know when. He is. And I 00:34:37.650 --> 00:34:41.889 don't, once I sat and prayed and processed it, 00:34:42.269 --> 00:34:46.070 there's no fear. Just that reminder. He's coming. 00:34:46.670 --> 00:34:49.309 Maybe that's what it was, just a reminder. Hey, 00:34:49.570 --> 00:34:52.570 pastor, just remember, be ready at all times. 00:34:52.969 --> 00:34:55.989 And get people ready. Yes. Well, you do a great 00:34:55.989 --> 00:34:59.030 job with our church, brother. Thank you. You 00:34:59.030 --> 00:35:01.110 know, just speaking of that, the Department of 00:35:01.110 --> 00:35:08.039 War sent me a package yesterday. Really slick 00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:11.480 segue well speaking of that is well because of 00:35:11.480 --> 00:35:14.639 World War two, okay? Just one more. I was sorry. 00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:17.280 I had to make the connection with no go for it 00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:20.239 They sent me I have two grandfathers who fought 00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:24.500 in World War two one who landed at Normandy and 00:35:24.500 --> 00:35:27.079 was at the liberation of Europe and the other 00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:29.880 who fought in the South Pacific and The Department 00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:33.699 of War sent me all of my grandfather's medals 00:35:33.699 --> 00:35:38.599 That from the one who was in in Europe And it's 00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:42.880 an array. It's like 15 different medals. And 00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:44.679 they've invited me, and I'd love for you to come 00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:46.880 with me, to the Nimitz Museum, because that of 00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:49.579 course is the Pacific War Museum here in Fredericksburg, 00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:53.159 for my other grandfather's medals. And their 00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:57.710 stuff, I never knew. He was on a ship that was 00:35:57.710 --> 00:36:01.150 in three heavy battles. He was the second in 00:36:01.150 --> 00:36:04.050 command, I think. They sunk a U -boat. He was 00:36:04.050 --> 00:36:06.489 a base commander on one of these. Never heard 00:36:06.489 --> 00:36:09.130 a single thing about this in my family ever, 00:36:09.369 --> 00:36:11.309 which is possible that a lot of these guys just 00:36:11.309 --> 00:36:14.369 didn't want to talk about it. But my heart is 00:36:14.369 --> 00:36:17.809 just so, I feel, you know, it's like, wow, these 00:36:17.809 --> 00:36:20.889 guys, look at what they did. Even though we were 00:36:20.889 --> 00:36:23.050 doing it for Europe, it wasn't even really for 00:36:23.050 --> 00:36:26.900 us. Pearl Harbor and we could go on for hours 00:36:26.900 --> 00:36:29.579 about, you know, what happened there and why 00:36:29.579 --> 00:36:33.400 it happened. And as I'm reflecting on, I'm like, 00:36:33.699 --> 00:36:35.780 man, I hope a lot of people still have that spirit, 00:36:35.820 --> 00:36:38.639 not for going to war, but to fight for our country, 00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:42.340 to fight. I've lived in so many countries. This 00:36:42.340 --> 00:36:45.579 is still the best country on earth. We got our 00:36:45.579 --> 00:36:49.659 problems, for sure. But when I see people wrapped 00:36:49.659 --> 00:36:53.219 up in in minutiae, and someone getting killed 00:36:53.219 --> 00:36:56.639 by an ICE officer is not minor. But, you know, 00:36:56.820 --> 00:36:59.360 let's just not talk about the 18 people who've 00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:01.940 been shot in Chicago and killed in the same amount 00:37:01.940 --> 00:37:04.440 of time, just since January 1st. So you got to 00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:08.480 put it into perspective. 1700 assaults on police 00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:12.239 officers or federal officers this year. So just 00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:15.960 put it into perspective and Everyone and it's 00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:19.440 it's by design 17 ,000. I'm sorry. I miss my 00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:25.179 number. Holy 70 ,000 over 400 with weapons So 00:37:25.179 --> 00:37:27.980 I want to give a little bit of perspective on 00:37:27.980 --> 00:37:31.280 that because I really am trying to follow the 00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:34.420 bigger picture and the bigger picture is all 00:37:34.420 --> 00:37:36.699 the things that we really have wanted for all 00:37:36.699 --> 00:37:40.719 this time and people are missing it because and 00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:44.139 it's it I mean Where else can you get this? Unless 00:37:44.139 --> 00:37:47.880 you're reading the Federal Register, unless you're 00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:50.559 looking at executive orders, executive actions, 00:37:50.639 --> 00:37:52.820 which are two different things, you're just not 00:37:52.820 --> 00:37:57.920 going to get this from any news anywhere. And 00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:01.860 in fact, we're doing our fast, our church fast 00:38:01.860 --> 00:38:04.920 this week, which has just been phenomenal. Tina 00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:08.940 and I have been reading a lot more, just taking 00:38:08.940 --> 00:38:12.440 things calm. We are watching. one series at night, 00:38:12.659 --> 00:38:16.780 but Tina's no more social media. For my occupation, 00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:20.000 there's still things I need to look at, like 00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:23.000 inbox, but I really just stayed away. And even 00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:26.139 when I'm like, I just turned it off and went 00:38:26.139 --> 00:38:29.980 away, I've missed nothing because it's all meaningless. 00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:34.539 It is all, what would King Solomon say? It's 00:38:34.539 --> 00:38:39.739 all vanity. And every single bit of it. But what 00:38:39.739 --> 00:38:45.500 is happening, is President Trump, and man, every 00:38:45.500 --> 00:38:47.980 day I still pray, Lord, hear us in heaven, heal 00:38:47.980 --> 00:38:50.460 our land. And I believe he is working through 00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:53.960 this man in such amazing ways. And of course, 00:38:54.300 --> 00:38:56.940 he is the weirdest guy ever to be doing this. 00:38:58.019 --> 00:39:01.300 I mean, he really is. I mean, he's obviously 00:39:01.300 --> 00:39:08.280 as faulted as anybody is. But he is going full 00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:15.119 bore. Davos is the big get -together, all the 00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:18.699 elites go to Switzerland, the bankers, the big 00:39:18.699 --> 00:39:21.300 movers and shakers. Klaus Schwab, he started 00:39:21.300 --> 00:39:25.059 Davos back in the 70s. President Trump is going 00:39:25.059 --> 00:39:26.780 there and he's going to speak and he's taking 00:39:26.780 --> 00:39:32.340 everybody. Scott Bessent, Witkoff, the whole 00:39:32.340 --> 00:39:36.980 gamut, Lutnik. And I think he's going to go... 00:39:36.710 --> 00:39:40.010 and negotiate the terms of surrender with the 00:39:40.010 --> 00:39:43.070 globalists. And something, I think this came 00:39:43.070 --> 00:39:45.210 out, I know if we talked about on the last show, 00:39:46.750 --> 00:39:49.849 if not, I have a clip just to highlight it, because 00:39:49.849 --> 00:39:54.289 I had the clip from one day after our show. This 00:39:54.289 --> 00:39:57.250 is something that barely got any attention, but 00:39:57.250 --> 00:40:00.389 a lot of us have... prayed for this to happen. 00:40:00.730 --> 00:40:02.809 President Trump announced the United States will 00:40:02.809 --> 00:40:06.030 withdraw from 66 international organizations 00:40:06.030 --> 00:40:08.989 and treaties. This includes major bodies like 00:40:08.989 --> 00:40:11.269 the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate 00:40:11.269 --> 00:40:14.150 Change and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate 00:40:14.150 --> 00:40:18.199 Change. The decision follows a review by Secretary 00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:21.340 of State Marco Rubio, citing these groups as 00:40:21.340 --> 00:40:24.039 contrary to U .S. interests. Critics warn the 00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:26.360 move could hurt American companies and communities 00:40:26.360 --> 00:40:29.039 by sidelining the country in the booming clean 00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:32.019 energy sector. Supporters argue it will stop 00:40:32.019 --> 00:40:34.320 U .S. funding for what they call ineffective 00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:37.500 global agendas. The withdrawal marks a historic 00:40:37.500 --> 00:40:40.559 shift, leaving the U .S. as the only nation outside 00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:43.969 key climate treaties. Now that was from USA Today, 00:40:44.210 --> 00:40:47.510 the only mainstream outlet I can find with any 00:40:47.510 --> 00:40:50.650 report whatsoever on it. And that should tell 00:40:50.650 --> 00:40:54.070 you something right there. So World Health Organization, 00:40:57.590 --> 00:41:00.989 a lot of these are subdivisions of the United 00:41:00.989 --> 00:41:05.269 Nations. He's pulling us out of all of it. Sixty 00:41:05.269 --> 00:41:08.469 -something? Sixty -six. The IPCC, the International 00:41:08.469 --> 00:41:12.690 Panel on Climate Change. it really now of course 00:41:12.690 --> 00:41:14.769 it's not getting any coverage that's why i want 00:41:14.769 --> 00:41:16.949 people to hear it and just pray for the president 00:41:16.949 --> 00:41:20.809 yes and his whole team and marco rubio praise 00:41:20.809 --> 00:41:24.550 this brother this brother is i think he he might 00:41:24.550 --> 00:41:28.739 be our next president i mean this guy is And 00:41:28.739 --> 00:41:31.780 he's also funny. I like this guy. He's a funny 00:41:31.780 --> 00:41:36.340 guy. That's what got me when I heard him speak 00:41:36.340 --> 00:41:39.159 at Charlie Kirk Service. That was not scripted. 00:41:39.579 --> 00:41:45.059 No, he's all in. And this is the really big one. 00:41:45.980 --> 00:41:48.920 The Federal Reserve, I just want our church to 00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:50.780 hear it because a lot of people haven't heard 00:41:50.780 --> 00:41:54.440 this. When people hear Federal Reserve, well, 00:41:54.500 --> 00:41:56.820 those are the guys who manage our money as part 00:41:56.820 --> 00:41:59.360 of the government. Nothing could be further from 00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:02.340 the truth. The Federal Reserve, it is just like 00:42:02.340 --> 00:42:04.599 Federal Express. The government doesn't own Federal 00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:08.059 Express. It's just called Federal Reserve. And 00:42:08.059 --> 00:42:11.980 it was in fact set up in 1913 in secret on Jekyll 00:42:11.980 --> 00:42:15.039 Island off of Georgia. And it was bankers and 00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:16.880 they got together and they said, Hey, we want 00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:19.699 to control the money and we're going to do that. 00:42:20.500 --> 00:42:22.079 And we're going, they had already done it twice 00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:25.360 before, which I'll get into in a second. And 00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:28.000 if you look at your, your dollar bill or your, 00:42:28.139 --> 00:42:31.239 your five, your 10, your 20, it says on it, this 00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:36.019 is a federal reserve note. It does not belong 00:42:36.019 --> 00:42:38.380 to the United States. It does not belong to our 00:42:38.380 --> 00:42:41.099 government. It belongs to this group of banks. 00:42:41.480 --> 00:42:43.900 of which many of the members are not even known. 00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:47.940 It's secret. We know who the chairman is, Jerome 00:42:47.940 --> 00:42:50.900 Powell currently. We know who the board members 00:42:50.900 --> 00:42:53.780 are, but the actual members and the true members 00:42:53.780 --> 00:42:56.840 of the banks, we don't really know. And their 00:42:56.840 --> 00:43:00.500 job is really to create money. They can literally 00:43:00.500 --> 00:43:04.039 create money whenever they want to, to keep all 00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:07.429 of their banks solvent, which really none of 00:43:07.429 --> 00:43:10.170 them are, but that's a much longer story. And 00:43:10.170 --> 00:43:12.889 also to be the settlement, you know, all money, 00:43:13.489 --> 00:43:15.789 when you transfer something to me on Zelle or 00:43:15.789 --> 00:43:19.909 PayPal or a credit card, ultimately, and it usually 00:43:19.909 --> 00:43:22.429 takes three days, sometimes even longer, it goes 00:43:22.429 --> 00:43:24.389 through the Federal Reserve and that's where 00:43:24.389 --> 00:43:28.210 the accounts are all reconciled. That used to 00:43:28.210 --> 00:43:30.699 work. And you can still go to the Federal Reserve, 00:43:30.699 --> 00:43:33.280 I think, in Dallas, and you can do a tour, and 00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:35.780 you'll see all these bars of gold in all these 00:43:35.780 --> 00:43:41.159 different slots. And so when Bank A had sent 00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:43.179 all these payments to Bank B, they'd literally 00:43:43.179 --> 00:43:47.780 move bars of gold over to that bank. Trust me, 00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:51.400 that's just show these days. But we were in this 00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:54.659 situation with the first and second bank of America. 00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:57.820 Same basic, not necessarily the same guys, some 00:43:57.820 --> 00:44:00.849 of them were. during Andrew Jackson's presidency. 00:44:01.530 --> 00:44:06.690 And he saw that this basically gave a small group 00:44:06.690 --> 00:44:10.449 of very powerful people reign over our land. 00:44:10.650 --> 00:44:13.130 They determined everything. If you control the 00:44:13.130 --> 00:44:15.130 money, certainly if you can create the money, 00:44:15.429 --> 00:44:18.030 then you control the entire Kitten Caboodle. 00:44:18.650 --> 00:44:23.150 And Andrew Jackson broke that bank and he broke 00:44:23.150 --> 00:44:26.150 it in a number of ways. He actually paid off 00:44:26.150 --> 00:44:29.699 our entire debt by doing it. And he drained, 00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:31.380 he said, all right, give me all those accounts, 00:44:31.500 --> 00:44:33.300 give me all that money that you've printed, that's 00:44:33.300 --> 00:44:35.960 ours, give it to us. And he decentralized it 00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:39.280 and gave it to small banks and literally dissolved 00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:41.360 the first bank of America, the second bank of 00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:44.760 America, which is just a federal reserve. They 00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:49.179 had a sunset clause of 20 years. And so they 00:44:49.179 --> 00:44:52.300 had like a poison pill. He still broke that bank. 00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:56.619 And then in 1913, The same group of people came 00:44:56.619 --> 00:44:58.519 together said, wait, we got to rebrand this. 00:44:58.659 --> 00:45:00.260 We're not doing this right. I'm going to call 00:45:00.260 --> 00:45:02.119 it the Federal Reserve and we'll make it an act 00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:05.599 that Congress passes so it can never sunset. 00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:08.920 Wow. So President Trump, I think, and I've been 00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:11.000 looking at these strategies and I don't want 00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:13.300 to go into it. I can't even explain it properly 00:45:13.300 --> 00:45:15.820 right now. In my head, I can see the connections. 00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:21.019 He's in a full bore attack against this banking 00:45:21.019 --> 00:45:28.039 system. Well, there's two things happening. One, 00:45:28.219 --> 00:45:30.380 Andrew Jackson, one of the ways that he paid 00:45:30.380 --> 00:45:34.460 off the debt, funny enough, was by extreme tariffs 00:45:34.460 --> 00:45:39.519 on imports. What are the chances? Today, the 00:45:39.519 --> 00:45:43.239 Supreme Court of America may or may not be, they're 00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:45.739 going to make a decision and announce it, whether 00:45:45.739 --> 00:45:48.679 the tariffs that the president is using are legal 00:45:48.679 --> 00:45:52.079 under this emergency clause, this emergency law. 00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:55.159 I pray, and we all should pray that they say 00:45:55.159 --> 00:45:59.159 yes, because this is a tool that is saving us. 00:45:59.500 --> 00:46:01.800 Now the president can do this in other ways, 00:46:01.820 --> 00:46:04.480 but it won't be as easy as like, boom, you got 00:46:04.480 --> 00:46:08.739 tariffs. Boom, you got tariffs. The second thing, 00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:11.920 which is also a Supreme Court decision, you may 00:46:11.920 --> 00:46:14.219 have read that he has been trying to fire one 00:46:14.219 --> 00:46:19.239 of the board members for mortgage fraud. So when 00:46:19.239 --> 00:46:21.840 you have what they call an independent agency, 00:46:22.260 --> 00:46:24.940 like the Federal Reserve, does the president 00:46:24.940 --> 00:46:32.380 have the power and the constitutional power to 00:46:32.380 --> 00:46:35.440 dismiss someone for cause? Now remember, these 00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:37.860 people think they know they're outside of the 00:46:37.860 --> 00:46:39.980 government, but you know, there's a ceremony, 00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:44.659 we confirm them in the Senate, etc, etc. And 00:46:44.659 --> 00:46:49.559 this has led to the chairman coming under severe 00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:53.480 fire and it's being played under, and President 00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:55.559 Trump saw this, he's a builder, so he understands 00:46:55.559 --> 00:46:58.920 it, the renovation of what we'll call the marble 00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:02.159 palace of the Federal Reserve. They wanted to 00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:05.539 renovate their building and they budgeted $1 00:47:05.539 --> 00:47:09.239 .9 billion. Let that just settle in for a second. 00:47:10.039 --> 00:47:13.300 By the way, the original Bank of America, they 00:47:13.300 --> 00:47:16.710 literally were in a marble palace. They built 00:47:16.710 --> 00:47:18.550 this marble palace. That's why we're calling 00:47:18.550 --> 00:47:21.989 it the second marble palace. They overran that 00:47:21.989 --> 00:47:24.030 budget. And we were just talking before the show, 00:47:24.369 --> 00:47:26.869 construction always costs more. It takes longer, 00:47:27.090 --> 00:47:30.550 costs more. So they overran the 1 .9 billion, 00:47:30.590 --> 00:47:33.130 which is already an astounding amount of money 00:47:33.130 --> 00:47:38.929 to me, by $700 million. So President Trump, you 00:47:38.929 --> 00:47:42.769 know, this was maybe six, seven months ago, he 00:47:42.769 --> 00:47:44.630 went out there, maybe had the hard hat on. He's 00:47:44.630 --> 00:47:46.449 like, what is this? How can this cost so much 00:47:46.449 --> 00:47:50.869 money? So the Senate Banking Committee said, 00:47:50.989 --> 00:47:56.510 okay, Powell, come in and testify. And what happened 00:47:56.510 --> 00:47:58.929 in the last few weeks, there was a grand jury 00:47:58.929 --> 00:48:02.570 that based upon his testimony, they want the 00:48:02.570 --> 00:48:05.630 Department of Justice to investigate Powell for 00:48:05.630 --> 00:48:09.460 perjury. because they say his answers were untruthful 00:48:09.460 --> 00:48:13.780 and he lied about this. Now $700 billion, it's 00:48:13.780 --> 00:48:16.579 easy for $100 million to slip somewhere else 00:48:16.579 --> 00:48:19.400 or to go to someone who delivered a nail or a 00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:23.219 toilet seat or whatever. So there is a high suspicion. 00:48:23.219 --> 00:48:25.940 That's what a grand jury does. You can indict 00:48:25.940 --> 00:48:29.440 a ham sandwich with a grand jury, but still this 00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:31.440 is people off the street who come in and say, 00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:35.320 well, this looks like some fraud to me. And this 00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:38.300 has now played up to such an extent that Jerome 00:48:38.300 --> 00:48:40.179 Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, 00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:45.659 did a hostage video. He literally went on their 00:48:45.659 --> 00:48:48.519 website and did a video and claimed the following. 00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:53.119 Good evening. On Friday, the Department of Justice 00:48:53.119 --> 00:48:56.019 served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas 00:48:56.019 --> 00:48:58.579 threatening a criminal indictment related to 00:48:58.579 --> 00:49:00.699 my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee 00:49:00.699 --> 00:49:05.409 last June. That testimony concerned in part a 00:49:05.409 --> 00:49:08.489 multi -year project to renovate historic Federal 00:49:08.489 --> 00:49:11.070 Reserve office buildings by the testimony in 00:49:11.070 --> 00:49:13.530 part There was more this wasn't a public hearing 00:49:13.530 --> 00:49:15.730 so in part there may be some other things going 00:49:15.730 --> 00:49:19.849 on I Have deep respect for the rule of law and 00:49:19.849 --> 00:49:23.670 for accountability in our democracy No one certainly 00:49:23.670 --> 00:49:25.849 not the chair of the Federal Reserve is above 00:49:25.849 --> 00:49:28.929 the law But this unprecedented action should 00:49:28.929 --> 00:49:31.889 be seen in the broader context of the administration's 00:49:31.889 --> 00:49:35.309 threats and ongoing pressure. This new threat 00:49:35.309 --> 00:49:38.630 is not about my testimony last June or about 00:49:38.630 --> 00:49:40.389 the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. 00:49:41.050 --> 00:49:43.949 It is not about Congress's oversight role. The 00:49:43.949 --> 00:49:46.409 Fed, through testimony and other public disclosures, 00:49:46.750 --> 00:49:49.449 made every effort to keep Congress informed about 00:49:49.449 --> 00:49:54.239 the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The 00:49:54.239 --> 00:49:56.760 threat of criminal charges is a consequence of 00:49:56.760 --> 00:49:59.539 the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based 00:49:59.539 --> 00:50:01.900 on our best assessment of what will serve the 00:50:01.900 --> 00:50:04.380 public, rather than following the preferences 00:50:04.380 --> 00:50:07.719 of the President. This is about whether the Fed 00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:09.860 will be able to continue to set interest rates 00:50:09.860 --> 00:50:12.619 based on evidence and economic conditions, or 00:50:12.619 --> 00:50:14.880 whether instead monetary policy will be directed 00:50:14.880 --> 00:50:19.349 by political pressure or intimidation. I have 00:50:19.349 --> 00:50:22.230 served at the Federal Reserve under four administrations, 00:50:22.429 --> 00:50:25.889 Republicans and Democrats alike. In every case, 00:50:26.010 --> 00:50:28.250 I have carried out my duties without political 00:50:28.250 --> 00:50:31.630 fear or favor, focused solely on our mandate 00:50:31.630 --> 00:50:35.949 of price stability and maximum employment. Public 00:50:35.949 --> 00:50:38.710 service sometimes requires standing firm in the 00:50:38.710 --> 00:50:42.050 face of threats. I will continue to do the job 00:50:42.050 --> 00:50:45.230 the Senate confirmed me to do with integrity 00:50:45.230 --> 00:50:48.030 and a commitment to serving the American people. 00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:52.579 Thank you So this is a very scared man. I can 00:50:52.579 --> 00:50:55.260 tell you he is afraid because he knows if Supreme 00:50:55.260 --> 00:50:58.019 Court says yes You can dismiss for cause he can 00:50:58.019 --> 00:51:00.320 be dismissed for cause this doesn't dissolve 00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:04.500 the Federal Reserve But it does weaken the entire 00:51:04.500 --> 00:51:07.719 institution independent institution funny enough. 00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:12.239 There is a bill that was proposed in 2025 to 00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:14.559 these have come out almost every single year 00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:17.079 the most recent one to end the Federal Reserve 00:51:17.079 --> 00:51:20.000 there's about 15 co -sponsors. Interestingly, 00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:22.940 it's Thomas Massey who put this in. This is a 00:51:22.940 --> 00:51:25.360 long time Rand Paul and before him Ron Paul. 00:51:25.539 --> 00:51:28.019 He wrote a fabulous book called End the Fed because 00:51:28.019 --> 00:51:32.039 when the Federal Reserve prints money, it is 00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:35.199 literally a tax on the people because more supply 00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:38.420 means less purchasing power. And so I believe 00:51:38.420 --> 00:51:41.019 that President Trump has a plan, Davos may be 00:51:41.019 --> 00:51:44.559 a part of it, but certainly to weaken the Federal 00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:47.219 Reserve as an institution and use an alternative 00:51:47.219 --> 00:51:50.809 system for settlement. Once people are using 00:51:50.809 --> 00:51:52.829 something else, and I'll just say the word, you 00:51:52.829 --> 00:51:55.849 don't have to figure it out, stablecoin. I believe 00:51:55.849 --> 00:51:58.750 Scott Besson is one of the smartest, our treasury 00:51:58.750 --> 00:52:00.789 secretary, one of the smartest men we've ever 00:52:00.789 --> 00:52:04.070 had in that position. He is looking at everything. 00:52:04.190 --> 00:52:06.429 He sees all the money flows. He knows exactly 00:52:06.429 --> 00:52:09.110 what's happening. I believe President Trump with 00:52:09.110 --> 00:52:14.349 those things, with the tariffs continuing, with 00:52:14.349 --> 00:52:17.460 dismissing corrupt actors in the Federal Reserve, 00:52:17.599 --> 00:52:21.820 which by itself is theft of the American people, 00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:25.639 from the American people. I believe he can actually 00:52:25.639 --> 00:52:28.639 do this, witness every single central bank in 00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:31.539 the world. Same system, by the way. They're just 00:52:31.539 --> 00:52:33.940 central banks. They're independent. They're not 00:52:33.940 --> 00:52:35.659 part of the government, the European Central 00:52:35.659 --> 00:52:38.360 Bank. It's not the European people's central 00:52:38.360 --> 00:52:41.019 bank. It's Christine Lagarde and a whole bunch 00:52:41.019 --> 00:52:43.780 of other elites. They're all like, this is an 00:52:43.780 --> 00:52:47.059 outrage. This is just political. But it's not, 00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:51.239 because he's lying right here. When COVID hit, 00:52:51.659 --> 00:52:55.000 we had 9 % to 10 % inflation. What were the interest 00:52:55.000 --> 00:53:00.780 rates? Zero, almost zero. Even with the tariffs, 00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:03.320 they said inflation would be horrible. It's even 00:53:03.320 --> 00:53:06.300 less than they expected, 2 .7 % as of yesterday. 00:53:07.139 --> 00:53:10.480 The interest rate still is five to six percent, 00:53:10.860 --> 00:53:14.199 which is hurting the American people. It is hurting 00:53:14.199 --> 00:53:16.920 us so we don't have control over that. And I 00:53:16.920 --> 00:53:20.480 think Besant has a plan to bring back control 00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:23.619 of the interest rates and the money back to the 00:53:23.619 --> 00:53:26.940 people, back into the government. I wish I could 00:53:26.940 --> 00:53:29.219 explain the whole thing. I wish I had a blackboard. 00:53:29.619 --> 00:53:31.579 I just want people to know, keep your eye on 00:53:31.579 --> 00:53:34.360 Scott Besant. Keep your eye on what President 00:53:34.360 --> 00:53:37.239 Trump is really doing. Keep your eye on the Supreme 00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:41.420 Court and take your eye off of X, Facebook, Instagram, 00:53:41.639 --> 00:53:46.179 et cetera. It is just meant to confuse you and 00:53:46.179 --> 00:53:51.199 obfuscate what's really going on. Wow. Wow. Okay. 00:53:51.260 --> 00:53:55.820 So today that decision will be made. Well, supposedly, 00:53:56.420 --> 00:54:00.059 I haven't heard, you know, they can delay it, 00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:01.860 you know, whatever. It may have already happened 00:54:01.860 --> 00:54:04.780 while we were just here talking. If they say, 00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:07.179 no, you can't do that, there are other ways to 00:54:07.179 --> 00:54:09.960 do it. It does make it harder. But even Scott, 00:54:09.960 --> 00:54:13.420 Scott Besson is an amazing, you know, he used 00:54:13.420 --> 00:54:15.420 to work for George Soros. I was curious where 00:54:15.420 --> 00:54:18.639 he's from. And this is what I like. You got a 00:54:18.639 --> 00:54:22.659 guy who knows how it works. I believe him to 00:54:22.659 --> 00:54:25.800 be an honest, good man. I just look at the things 00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:30.260 he's doing, the moves he's making, and wow, he 00:54:30.260 --> 00:54:32.900 really is dismantling things right before our 00:54:32.900 --> 00:54:37.039 very eyes. So final message from Adam, very positive 00:54:37.039 --> 00:54:40.059 about the future. Thank you, Lord, for hearing 00:54:40.059 --> 00:54:42.920 our prayers in heaven and working through this 00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:48.099 unbelievably crazy guy. Choosing him to do this 00:54:48.099 --> 00:54:50.559 for some reason you chose him and I think it 00:54:50.559 --> 00:54:53.679 was just a brilliant choice I love that and what 00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:57.440 that says to me and I'll just kind of Spitball 00:54:57.440 --> 00:55:00.920 this back It says that you don't have to know 00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:03.400 all the intricate ins and outs of government 00:55:03.400 --> 00:55:07.179 and political Gameplay and all this to pray for 00:55:07.179 --> 00:55:10.480 these people. Yes, this is the thing that's so 00:55:10.480 --> 00:55:14.670 God gives us this amazing ace card Trump card, 00:55:14.690 --> 00:55:18.170 if you want to use that word. Anyway, he gives 00:55:18.170 --> 00:55:20.929 us this amazing thing that in the middle of all 00:55:20.929 --> 00:55:23.690 that, even if I don't understand what's going 00:55:23.690 --> 00:55:27.469 on completely, I still can pray. I can pray for 00:55:27.469 --> 00:55:30.010 God's heart, God's will, for justice, righteousness, 00:55:30.329 --> 00:55:35.809 truth, to reign. I want to encourage anyone listening 00:55:35.809 --> 00:55:39.409 to this program. What Adam just presented is 00:55:39.409 --> 00:55:42.579 layered and complex and yet He was giving us 00:55:42.579 --> 00:55:46.579 the simple version of it. But we don't have to 00:55:46.579 --> 00:55:49.460 understand all the ins and outs. All we need 00:55:49.460 --> 00:55:53.219 to know is that we have this amazing gift, the 00:55:53.219 --> 00:55:56.659 power of prayer. We can move things. We can move 00:55:56.659 --> 00:55:59.800 atmospheres. We can change things through prayer. 00:55:59.960 --> 00:56:02.699 And I want to encourage you. My phrase for the 00:56:02.699 --> 00:56:07.559 year is, let's pray more. Three simple words. 00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:11.469 And please pray for your Democrat. representatives 00:56:11.469 --> 00:56:15.610 as well. Every single time the needle moves, 00:56:15.650 --> 00:56:18.969 you just need one or two. Just pray for them. 00:56:19.869 --> 00:56:21.949 Yeah, they have different programming in their 00:56:21.949 --> 00:56:24.969 brain, they've got other ideas, but pray for 00:56:24.969 --> 00:56:27.409 them to get clarity. That would really help. 00:56:27.429 --> 00:56:30.030 Thank you for saying that. That is a big part 00:56:30.030 --> 00:56:32.329 of what me and Pastor Brian met this morning. 00:56:33.269 --> 00:56:36.590 Part of my conversation was, I feel like the 00:56:36.590 --> 00:56:42.519 Lord wants us to continue to bring awareness 00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:45.960 and information to what's going on culturally. 00:56:46.460 --> 00:56:49.599 We're going to continue down that track. However, 00:56:50.099 --> 00:56:52.340 we always want to lace everything we do with 00:56:52.340 --> 00:56:55.059 humility, with grace and mercy, the same thing 00:56:55.059 --> 00:56:57.800 God gave us. We have a responsibility to give 00:56:57.800 --> 00:57:00.719 that out, which means I'm not going to lob grenades 00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:03.980 over on the other side of the aisle. I don't 00:57:03.980 --> 00:57:06.199 know what aisle I'm in right now, so I'd be blowing 00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:11.320 myself up anyway. The whole idea is I want to 00:57:11.320 --> 00:57:16.699 pray more for everyone, for understanding, for 00:57:16.699 --> 00:57:20.099 wisdom, for strategic thinking and implementation 00:57:20.099 --> 00:57:22.699 that will move the needle for the people of our 00:57:22.699 --> 00:57:29.019 country. Not for party postulating and your own 00:57:29.019 --> 00:57:31.800 agendas, but what will be better for our country? 00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:35.900 We need to do that across the aisle, in our aisle, 00:57:36.119 --> 00:57:38.880 in our seats, in our section, on our own lives. 00:57:39.300 --> 00:57:42.699 More grace, more mercy, more love, more patience. 00:57:43.239 --> 00:57:47.159 But this idea of let's walk in great humility. 00:57:48.019 --> 00:57:50.619 Confidence? Yes, absolutely. Confidence in Him, 00:57:50.679 --> 00:57:53.800 not in us. And so that's my heart on this. So 00:57:53.800 --> 00:57:57.320 let's pray more for what's going on. All right, 00:57:57.340 --> 00:57:58.539 brother. Let's lay in this place. Thanks for 00:57:58.539 --> 00:58:01.489 bringing it, man. That was awesome. Thank you. 00:58:01.610 --> 00:58:03.769 We get to do this, and I love doing this with 00:58:03.769 --> 00:58:05.610 you, man. All right. And we're having dinner 00:58:05.610 --> 00:58:07.570 on Friday night, too, so we can follow up on 00:58:07.570 --> 00:58:10.110 this decision. I'm excited. All right. We'll 00:58:10.110 --> 00:58:12.289 be back next week. Make sure you subscribe to 00:58:12.289 --> 00:58:14.630 us in the Godcasts app. We get to do this.
