Father, we are grateful today for your grace.
We are thankful for your mercy. We are thankful
for what modern translations say, patience, but
what the classic King James says, long -suffering,
that you suffer long with us. And you do that
because you love us, you're patient. You're not
willing that any should perish, but that all
should come to repentance. So thank you, Father,
for your blanket of grace over this world, drawing
you back to yourself. No matter what's going
on in this world, Lord, we trust you. You've
ordered our steps. You delight in the details
of our lives, and we get to do this in Jesus'
name. Amen. Amen. It's Wednesday, April 13th,
2026. We get to do this. This is episode number
32. Yes, we do, and we get to do it transatlantic
this week. How you doing, brother? Brother, we
are over the pond right now. I mean, maybe under.
We may be under. Is this over or under? I'm not
sure how the web works. No, I'm actually at the
airport. I'm actually below sea level, believe
it or not. Oh, wow. Schiphol Airport is where
we're in the hotel and I think it's like nine
feet below sea level technically. Right, very
cool. I'm underwater. You're underwater, brother.
So I'm in Amsterdam. That is so cool. My brother
Jimmy is in the Fredericksburg Bridge Church
studio. This is so odd. I mean, I've done remotes.
for 20 years longer than that. But not to be
sitting there looking at you is weird. It is.
I'm talking to an empty chair over here. And
if I close my eyes, it's the same though. You're
right here. Sounds like you're right here. I
mean, it sounds like you're right here in the
studio. So I got to tell you right off the bat,
brother. And I love that, of course we get your
daily grind every single morning. Well, when
we get it, it's afternoon over here. And I love
reading about Paul and you had some really good
one this week about the state of the prison that
he was in. It wasn't just a prison. I mean, this
was like literal hell on earth. And I say this
because Being here in Amsterdam. I got to be
honest. I feel kind of removed from God and Wow,
yeah, and I'm not sure exactly what it is Well,
maybe it's because the streets here are filled
with women with hijabs It feels distant. So it's
actually been very helpful to read your daily
grinds. I'm like, what am I complaining about?
What am I complaining about, man? Look at Paul.
Look at what he was going through. I know, right?
Well, when I did the deep dive study on that,
it's called a carcer and it's like the worst,
it is literal hell on earth and it's the worst
prison situation that the Romans could develop
or could create. It was basically a holding cell
for them waiting to die or be imputed more punishment.
So, I mean, it's like to get thrown into what
they call the inner prison, which is underground.
It's a dungeon. There's no light in there. Obviously,
there's poop and crap everywhere. There's rodents.
There's decaying bodies because a lot of times
when someone died there they just leave them
they wouldn't even come get the bodies until
whenever they did that to torture uh it was a
torture chamber yeah chamber of horrors so being
here um it just doesn't feel very spiritual in
uh in the country but here's the weird thing
this coming thursday the whole country has a
vacation day because they are celebrating heimelfahrt
Which translates literally to heaven travel day
ie ascension day Interesting which is okay 40
days after Easter So I guess this is after acts
and everything and Jesus has been hanging out
and now he ascends back up to heaven Do we even
have do we celebrate ascension day at all? Some
of the older mainland denominational churches,
you know that are more iconoclastic. They celebrate
things like that. You know, for us, you know,
it's like, you know, Jesus ascends, you know,
he tells his disciples, you know, go there for
and make disciples of all the nations and he's
taken up. And for us, man, we're just, we're
on the mission. So We're looking back, but we're
like, we're on, we're there. They have mattress
sales here. Oh man, you get a day off. We're
just on mission. That's it. I mean, we slow down
to a degree to celebrate and whatnot, to pause.
But really, I mean, we're so in the mission.
It kind of reminds me of George Whitefield. He
was in England, then he came over to America
during the colony days to preach the gospel.
There's a great movie that we watched the other
night called A Great Awakening. The way I see
George Whitefield is the way I see ourselves.
We're just on mission. We're doing what God told
us to do, so we're not pausing a lot. Now we
pause for Easter, but we really don't even pause.
We run through it because It's a celebration
for us. I mean, there's holidays built around
Christmas and various things, but at the end
of the day, I mean, we just don't stop. We just
keep going. But that's cool that they do that.
I mean, I wonder if... If anyone thinks about
it, what it actually means. Well, this actually
came up as we were leaving Rotterdam. We've been
with my daughter for the past couple of days.
Our granddaughter is on the way. She's now 31
weeks, so we're getting down to the final wire.
Congratulations. Oh man, I got to tell you. Love
it. And wait. We just did a 4D ultrasound. Oh,
wow. I don't know if you've ever heard. I thought
it was 3D, 4D. They're talking, so what happens
is, so this is something, we should have this
in Fredericksburg, if not only for the coolness,
but also just to excite people about their children.
No kidding. She has this whole studio and it's
a regular ultrasound except there's a huge flat
screen on the wall. And she has all this mood
lighting, and she can actually do blue or pink,
because she can do a gender reveal right there
for you. Oh, nice. But on the screen, you see
the traditional 2D scan, right? We've all seen
that, the black and white, like, what am I looking
at? Is that a radar scope? I mean, is there a
bogey coming at me from 2 o 'clock? But then
she hits a button. and then you actually see
the baby's face appear right before you and and
it's moving and she stuck her tongue out at us
and it was oh my it's it's kind of a like a clay
type texture that it looks like but it was just
mind -blowing and then so anyway so the point
was we're leaving and uh they said well because
Christina's still working I say you got to work
she says uh no not Thursday because of uh Himmelfahrt
I said I never thought about that. What exactly
says, well, doesn't Jesus go up to heaven? I
said, well, hold on. That was Easter. And I'm
like, oh, it's ascension day. And so that's how
he came to it. So I don't think many people understand
the significance of it really. I think they just
think mattress sale, unfortunately. That's what
they think. So brother, how's everything going
there stateside? We're flying back tomorrow,
but I need a report, man. What's happening? What's
going on? Well, we had a huge Sunday because
it's Mother's Day. We almost had 700 folks in
the house. Just an amazing atmosphere. Honestly,
it was a fun day. Is it okay to say have fun
in church? I think so. We had a blast. First
of all, worship was rocking. I mean, wow, just
watching the whole place just together. It's
family. This is family reunion every Sunday,
two times, you know, with a meetup in between.
So, man, it was just a great day. I finished
the thing on the four soils and during the middle
of it, I just got real caught up and excited
and having fun because I just, I kind of chastised
them in a loving way. I said, I mean, you guys
are so white. I need you to talk back. I need
you to, we need to help each other. I taught
them how to do it. I taught them the power of
agreement and that when you speak out loud and
you respond to the preacher, you're saying, I'm
in agreement with that. I'm in alignment with
that. Yes. So I went through a whole lot of ways
to do it and people started doing it and it all
just got out of hand. I was like, this was fun.
Now will that carry over? People left laughing
and high -fiving. I know that sounds maybe to
some people indignant or whatever, irreligious.
It is kind of irreligious, but it was so much
fun and there was such life in the house. There
are just some Sundays where you come in and heavy
things have happened in the world. There's been
death or war or bombings and it just seems like
there's a never -ending litany of pain and suffering.
And then some Sundays you come in and you just
say, we're pushing all of that away. And we're
just going to have some fun. We're going to laugh.
We're going to enjoy each other. We're going
to talk about the goodness of God. We're going
to learn some things. We're going to worship.
We're going to praise God. We're going to have
a good time. And it seems like a foreign concept
to so many Christians that you can actually enjoy
this thing. You can enjoy being a follower of
Jesus. And the scripture says that Jesus, who
for the joy set before him, he despised the shame,
looking forward to what was ahead. And it talks
about he was anointed with the oil of joy more
than all of his brethren. So, I mean, if there
was anyone who was a life of party, it would
have been Jesus. Not that he was a clown or dorky
about it, but he was so full of life and so full
of joy because he understood what was coming
for the human race. He understood redemption.
something to look forward to. And it's so interesting
here in Europe, in the Netherlands. Now there
are churches that are somewhat similar to ours.
There are some, and these are churches that don't
even have a church building. They meet in school,
auditoriums, et cetera. And they do have worship
bands. I know they're here, but they're not very
many. But to the general population, even the
concept of contemporary Christian music, they're
like, what? I say, well, here, listen to this.
I'm loading up Godcaster on everybody's phone.
Like, I checked this out. And they're like, wow,
this is pretty good. They have no concept of
it, Jimmy. They've never heard of it. They don't
even know it exists. To them, church. is boring,
is very strict, and they don't understand. I
mean, if you say, well, we're kind of like a
white version of a gospel church, a black church,
like, oh, okay, I get it. Because they've all
seen - That makes a little more sense. They've
all seen Whoopi Goldberg, right? So they've all
seen Sister Act. So they kind of understand a
little bit what that means. But no, it's just
so far removed. Now, still we're here. We went
out to dinner with some people. And they're not
believers. Hey, do you mind? We're just going
to pray. We'll just hold hands and pray. I love
it so much because they're like, oh, OK. And
then when you say amen, they can't help themselves
but to say amen. They can't help themselves.
I love it. And no one ever says no. They never
say, oh, I'm not going to do that. You're crazy.
I'm not going to do that. We're bringing the
good news. We're doing our best. I love that,
brother. Trying to let everybody know. You're
leaking out. Yes. You're leaking out. Yes, we
are. And it's not complicated. You just be yourself.
Yes. Be yourself full of Jesus. Yeah. So I found
something for the show today. Yeah, I did do
a little bit of a prep, regardless of right now
it's five minutes to 11 p .m. Over here. Wow,
didn't know it was that late. Yeah, it's all
right. I've been living on the wrong side of
the clock for a week now And this is I got this
a couple of clips here I got this because I was
watching this this interview of a guy named Let
me see. He's professor egg nor EG NOR professor
of neurosurgery at Stony Brook University and
he wrote this book called the immortal mind And
I know that you love thinking about the brain,
brain plasticity, how our neurons fire, how they
work, how that interacts with the word of God,
with thinking, with praying, et cetera. And what
caught me, I'll play this first clip and then
we can delve into it a little bit, was, and again,
this is a neurosurgeon, that he, He sees that
the brain does certain things But not some very
important things that people think the brain
does and when I heard this like all my brother
Jimmy will love this This will be right up his
alley. So listen to this first clip. There are
several ways of figuring out Whether an organ
does does something One way is to stimulate the
organ and get it to do it so you can prove it
does it the other way is to inhibit the organ
from doing it and and prove that when the organ's
inhibited, it doesn't happen. Well, that can
happen with the brain. While it is true that
if you suppress the brain, we can't use reason
and free will very well. If you get hit on the
head with a baseball bat, your reasoning and
your free will is going to be a little messed
up for a while. There's a way of stimulating
the brain to test whether reason and free will
come from it using electrical stimulation. And
there are different kinds of electrical stimulation.
One kind of electrical stimulation is seizures.
Seizures are just random sparks that happen inside
the brain, out of the blue, that can have all
kinds of effects. And one of the things that
I've looked at rather carefully is the phenomenology
of seizures. It is what happens when you have
a seizure. And I've looked over the past couple
hundred years, reviewed the medical literature
of that. What we find is rather remarkable first
of all not all seizures make you go unconscious
There are many seizures that leave your conscious
and your body does things that you can't control
and they're called complex partial seizures and
on There have been probably a quarter of a billion
seizures in human beings over the past 200 years
if you just look at the instance of seizures
in the world population and There's never been
a recorded case of a seizure causing someone
to express reason or free will. You can elicit
from the brain by stimulating it. Movement, perception,
memory, and emotion. But you can never elicit
reason or free will. No matter where you stimulate
the brain, you can't make a person say, one plus
one is two. Or say, if A then B, A therefore
B, modus ponens. Or say, I believe that it's
nice to be kind. which is a moral viewpoint.
So that goes right along with what is found in
seizures, that you can stimulate the brain any
which way and reason and free will never come
out of the brain. So it's perfectly reasonable
to infer that reason and free will don't naturally
come from the brain because you can't make the
brain do it. So it was the free will part that
got me obviously because that's what God gave
us. He gave us free will To believe in him to
believe in jesus or not or to you know to choose
whichever path we want to take and you know,
we It really made me think and the other one
is reasoning which is important for a different
reason i'll get to But the free will part i'm
like, okay. So if that doesn't come from the
brain Where does that come from? And this guy
has done the work and you know, oh spoiler alert.
Here's conclusion is It comes from the soul.
And again, this is a neuroscientist. A young
person, I was a materialist and an atheist. I
was raised in a rather secular environment. I
was never hostile to religion. I just didn't
think it was true. I kind of worshiped science.
I still love science. I don't worship it, but
I still love it. And so I went to medical school.
I wanted to be a doctor. And in medical school,
I fell in love with neuroscience. And I was fascinated
by the relationship between the brain and the
mind. Like, how did that work? So I became a
neurosurgeon in part because I wanted to understand
more about that. And so I began seeing in my
career patients that didn't fit the materialist
picture. All my textbooks in medical school describe
the brain as like a computer. It's like the hardware.
And the mind was like the software. And that's
how things worked. And we have detailed neuroanatomical
studies of the structure of the frontal lobes
and all these things. But I had patients who
were missing major parts of their brains who
were perfectly normal people. It's as if you
have a laptop and it works perfectly and then
you open it up and you find out that your hard
drive is like two -thirds missing. Then how does
my laptop work? It's a perplexing question. So
I began looking more deeply into the neuroscience
of the mind -brain relationship and I came across
this rather astonishing But quite verifiable
result that reason or free will don't seem to
come from the brain and interestingly enough
That's what the classical philosophers thought
that that was what Aristotle said 2300 years
ago So he goes this whole interview was so fascinating
where he talks about and you know you often talk
about Loving Jesus 18 differences 18 inches between
the the head and the heart and it's so fascinating
he goes into this incredible depth about the
soul and you know you no one can point to it
and say oh well that's where your soul is but
he's figured it out he says these two things
free will and reasoning do not come from the
brain they come from the soul i was just blown
away by that now i missed where he landed a conclusion
about, you know, he was an atheist and a materialist
as a young man, then he worshiped science. Did
he make a switch at some point? Yes, he did.
He's a believer. Again, you know, the problem
with this guy as a scientist... If you want to
pull clips, you might as well listen to eight
minutes of it. I'm like, ah, that's a little
bit too much. Well, I'm just curious. Like many,
many scientists these days. In fact, more scientists
are coming to Christ, believers saying, you know,
it's crazier. You need more leaps of faith. to
not believe in God than you do to believe in
him. And I'm seeing this more and more and more.
And I do have one more clip and he kind of, again,
he's looked at conjoined twins who share the
same brain. You can rub one of their arms and
the other one feels it. One can actually see
through the other's eyes, but both of them have
individual Free will and reasoning apart from
the other. So it's not, it's not in the brain.
Here's the last clip, it's short. So, going back
to something you said earlier, that reason and
free will are immaterial aspects or parts of
the person, powers of the person. Immaterial.
What does that even mean? Immaterial means that
the source of these powers is not a physical
thing, is not a physical object. And immaterial
is actually a fairly simple concept. For example,
numbers are immaterial. It is that the number
12 is an immaterial thing. That is, you can't
say, well, the number 12 is located today in
Cincinnati and it weighs five pounds. I mean,
it doesn't make any sense. Also, there are many
many many things that we think about many things
that are quite real and they're they're called
universals in philosophy That are very real but
are not matter And reason of free will our abilities
we have that whose source is our our soul but
not our breath and And when I hear this, all
I can hear is Wendy singing, it is well with
my soul. In Scripture, how many times does the
soul come out as being this important? The soul
is called the suke in the Greek. That's the Greek
word for it. It really means it's the center
or the seat of your mind, will, and emotions.
That's your soul. So, your soul kind of sums
up the whole of who you are. Instead of seeing
you as a bunch of individual parts stuck together,
and now you're a human being with arms and legs
and a head and all that, the soul, the souquet,
is the essence of who you are with all that combined.
So, it's immaterial. I like what he said about
that. It's immaterial in the sense that you can't
place a You can't say, oh, that's the soul, or
is he a soul? You can't define that. It's beyond
definition. There are some scriptures that speak
to this idea of free will, but I like the part
about reasoning as well, because to me as a believer,
I don't check my brains at the door. I don't
walk into church and just go, okay, well now
just throw everything out and I'm just going
in brain dead, or so open that everything evaporates
out. I mean, I'm not losing. you know, myself
in that. So listen to this. Genesis 1 .26, then
God said, let us make man in our image, in our
likeness. So God created man in his own image.
And so there it is. I mean, the scripture also
says that God breathed into man and he became
a living soul. So there are many, many references
to free will, to soul, but also to this idea
of reasoning. You know, we've not been given
a spirit of fear, the scripture says. but of
power and of love and of a sound mind, the ability
to think well, strategize well, reason well.
And then another scripture says, we have the
mind of Christ. And the Amplified says, and we
hold his thoughts, feelings, and purposes. So
we have the mind of Christ. So all of that, if
you factor all those scriptures together, I really
love the Genesis scripture because it gets into
what's called in Latin, the Imago Dei. That's
image of God in Latin. And I love that because
is it talking about our shape, image if you think
just visually, but really it's thinking about
our essence and who we are. And it's that living
soul, that really unidentifiable thing. I've
seen, and you've probably seen this too online,
there's some things going around where they think
they have been able to photograph the first spark
of life when a cell and a sperm come together
and that spark is life. And it could be, it could
very well be that they captured that moment,
but it's still beyond definition. I mean, what
causes the light? How does that even work? Where
does it come from? I mean, there's so many questions
out there and I love that the Bible God seems
to be selective in what he lets us know and understand.
It's almost like he keeps things, some things
at a mystery level. And I've told people for
years, look, if you don't have room for mystery
in your walk of faith, you're going to be a very
disappointed and miserable believer. Right on.
You've got to leave space for mystery. And so
I love the idea of this soul and reasoning and
yet Like the number 12. It's not in Cincinnati
and weighs five pounds. I love that was a great
metaphor I'll probably use that again. That was
good, but I like that. It's that intangible not
definable and immaterial thing and That really
is what sets us apart from animals So here's
what I liked about it besides that, you know,
obviously the the free will but reasoning this
really struck me because One of the things that
happened in the past year and a half with our
robots, with the so -called artificial intelligence,
is these new models came out and they said, oh,
we now have reasoning models. Look at these things
reasoning. And it dispelled that immediately
for me when I heard this, like, oh, that's bull
crap. These things aren't they can't reason because
they're trying to simulate a brain and that's
not where it comes from That really put me in
a whole different mind space and that if I there
was some really good article I read by How is
it? Who was this guy who wrote this John Ennis
heaven on earth and it's and he goes all right
he goes into artificial intelligence he says
You know this idea that's going to take away
our jobs. No No, because these things can do
certain things. It certainly can't reason It
certainly can't feel it can't come up with the
Original spark for an idea and it can't at the
end of the process say yeah, this is good Yeah,
this is what it has to be It can't do that and
i've witnessed that myself. I think you you know,
you've witnessed it as well. It's like at the
end If you're using your logo system to put together
a sermon, at the end, the thing doesn't say,
this is it, it's perfect. It may, but that's
not the determining factor. You're the one that
says, nah, not quite. I need something here.
We can do something a bot can't do. That is,
we can discern context. We discern the nuances.
We can, you know, people call it reading the
room, right? You walk into an atmosphere room
and you read the room. If you're good at that,
a lot of comedians are really good at that. A
lot of actors are good at it. A lot of preachers
are good at it. You read the room and you know
these, you sense these nuances. So many intangibles
there. Sometimes it's a feeling. It's a sense.
It's a sound. It's recognizing a face or smile
or a frown. or posture, there's a thousand million,
there's a million nuances to reading a room and
a bot can't do that and never will be able to
do that or to read a person. A machine has no
grandmother, it has no childhood, it has no body.
No context. Yeah, that has spent years building
associations between molecule and feeling. It
can't decide what to work on. Values don't come
from data. They come from living in a body that
feels things. And I love this because it put
everything into perspective. And I think if we
all look at it that way and say, this thing can
never have a soul that can reason or can have
free will. It never can because it's simulating
something that doesn't actually have those properties.
The brain doesn't do that. Right. Right. And
so what it's doing is collecting data. borrowed
data, borrowed experience, borrowed context,
and it will never be real. It can't. It can simulate,
but it won't be real. It will never take away
all the jobs. It's only going to create more
jobs because that's what happens every single
time we come up with something that we say is
going to take away jobs. Yeah, after we fired
10 ,000 people, you know, destroyed their livelihoods
and we're begging them to come back and fix it.
That does happen. I'm curious to watch and some
of these larger companies have done these massive
layoffs and some of these dot coms. I'm curious
to see how that ends. Well, I'm pretty sure a
lot of Silicon Valley companies are looking for
good excuses to trim down some middle management.
Could be, yeah. We've got a lot of people here.
Maybe more to the story. Yeah. What are we doing?
What are they doing? You know, man, AI, AI. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. We can, oh, watch our stock price
go up. It's beautiful when you do that stuff.
Man, that was fascinating. That was a great,
great interview. And I'm going to be pondering
that. You know me, I'm a processor. So I'm going
to be thinking about that because I really can
see what he's talking about. I can see it very
clearly. The other thing that happened this week,
you actually alerted me to it and I had to go
look into it. And I only bring it up because
there's such an almost obsessive interest in
end times on the internet. People want, and did
you talk about this at all on Sunday? Oh, I did
it. There was much laughter in the house when
I talked about aliens and spacecraft and UFOs.
I was shocked at the response. People laughed
out loud. I felt the sense. They shared my sense
of absurdity and you know how it is in large
group dynamic. There may be people who laughed
out loud who were not laughing out loud three
days ago, you know, when they were panicking,
you know, reading Instagram. But hopefully the
group think, you know, as I rolled this out and
processed it out loud to help them understand,
listen, guys, this stuff comes around every few
years. And then I reminded them of what you said.
Hey, if everybody says, come over here and look.
You need to go over there and look, because this
is a psyop if there's ever been a psyop. It is
a clear psyop. I wanted to take it a little bit
further just to give people one extra spin on
it. So what happened was there were actually
two meetings that took place in February. I'm
surprised you didn't get invited to it. Since
you were there at the Airbnb. So the story is
that there were two meetings and pastors were
called into an Airbnb, one in Missouri and one
in Tennessee, one of them during National Religious
Broadcasters Conference, and I was there. I remember
vaguely someone mentioning to me, like, ah, you
know, there's some pastors and they're meeting,
but I was insane running around doing meetings.
I didn't really register with me, but what happened,
so, but not that I was invited, but someone had
mentioned it to me. Now I'm gonna have to track
down who said that. But each of these pastors
was on a conference call with a Senator. Now
the one in Tennessee, on the conference call
was Senator Burchett and he's from Tennessee.
And I have to say this guy is a believer in UFOs.
He's on the committee to disclose everything,
whatever that means. The other one was Senator
Burleson and he's from Missouri and he was on
the phone in Missouri. So the story kind of came
out in a weird way because it was one of the,
I call them the YTPs, the YouTube pastors. who
kind of took the, and we don't have a recording
of the conference call, so we don't know exactly
what was said, but here's his version. of what
was said, which he later had to retract. But
I just wanted to play this so we can get an idea
of how these things get launched. And they literally
told us we had a sitting congressman, a very
well -known congressman from Missouri. He was,
he called into that meeting as well. That was
just for pastors. And this is what he said on
speakerphone. This sitting powerful member of
Congress said, are the pastors listening to me?
I'm getting chills right now because this happened
to me. He said, are the pastors in the room listening
to me? And I said, yes, sir, we are here. And
he said, listen to me. go and tell the church
they are not ready for what is coming the narrative
that is coming what they are going to say is
going to be like nothing you can even imagine
they are preparing to tell us that they are from
another dimension that they are our creator and
that these beings these aliens or whatever you
want to call them they were the ones that seated
us here there is no such thing as God Jesus was
invented by them the Bible was invented by them
and begin to just say listen prepare the people
for what is coming because they're not ready
But he loved us so much. He made sure that he
told us exactly the blueprint to study. He said,
study the days of Noah. And if you can understand
how Noah responded, that's how you're going to
have to respond. Okay. So this went viral. I'm
sure many people who are listening have heard
about it or seen it. He had to retract it and
it was... Yeah, walk it back. I mean, the retraction
was, well, he didn't exactly say that, but then
I'd kind of continued how I normally do my show.
And so that's the kind of stuff he's usually
talking about. I've been looking at this stuff
for a long time, for almost two decades, and
I just want to tell our people who listen in
our church, and if there's any other people anywhere
outside of who listen, I'm glad you're here.
This always happens for two reasons. Sometimes,
actually maybe they're always connected. The
code word you want to be on the lookout for,
and you'll hear it in the reports, When you hear
about UFOs, UAPs, aliens, et cetera, you see
videos. The president released the whole website,
which kind of looked like the X -Files. I'm like,
wow, this is great. And it had the same videos
we've seen flying tic -tacs and all this stuff.
And the reports will always say, it might be
a UFO, a UAP, and this is always followed by
it may also be some military technology from
another country that we don't know about and
the reason they say that is that is a trigger
for money and you will see the defense budget
going up by half a trillion dollars to make sure
that if this stuff that we see on these videos
which no one can explain If it just might happen
to be some technology that we don't have that
some other country has we need to start preparing
for that It's always about that and the secondary
one and you can you can put money on this there's
always an entertainment product that goes with
it and Yes in this case the entertainment product
that goes with this and now mind you the the
term disclosure is key here So in the government
we need full disclosure. We need disclosure,
disclosure, disclosure. Well on June 12th in
IMAX you will have full disclosure brought to
you by Universal Studios and Steven Spielberg.
I've always been fascinated with things that
cannot be explained. What is it? You won't believe
me if I told you. I'm gonna show you. And I've
made a lot of movies about things that could
not be explained. From sharks to saucers. Do
you think there could be others? When I was just
a little kid, I'd remember developing a real
curiosity about the sky at night and what's happening
up there. People have a right to know the truth.
And also, not the possibility, but the guarantee
that there is life off this planet. People keep
wandering, encountering the unknown. People's
questions about what is not only going on in
our skies, but what is going on in our worlds,
in our realities, has reached a critical mass.
They're coming! They're coming! Of people's complete
fascination with, are we alone or are we not
alone? They are starved for the truth. And if
someone knows we're not alone, why haven't we
been told? Full disclosure to the whole world,
all at once. Yes! Disclosure Day is the name
of it coming to IMAX June 12th. Wow. I want to
see it. That was a great trailer. Of course.
You know, I was thinking the whole time listening.
First of all, did Spielberg script that out?
That was amazing. Secondly, he's going to bank
on this. This is what people are so afraid of.
I mean, the timing of this. How did he know two
years ago to make this movie? I mean, come on.
Well, if you look at the movies he's made, do
you know that the Department of War, formerly
known as the Department of Defense, they have
probably participated in 8 ,000 movies? I mean,
Top Gun? No, I did not know that. Top Gun? Oh,
come on. You know it makes sense though. And
Steven Spielberg has had all kinds of contact
with Uh, the department of defense in the past,
uh, for a lot of his movies, some people think
he actually, um, works in cahoots. I can't prove
that, but yeah, the coincidence of this term
disclosure, disclosure, disclosure gets ramped
up. Uh, we've got disclosure day, the movie,
we've got disclosure and then always, you know,
you know, it just made, you know, we got, we
gotta think about a new military budget in case
it's not UFOs just in case. So. It all works
together, folks. It all works together. And even
if we didn't know all that, our God is the God
of the heavens. So that's the heaven we see,
the heaven we don't see. You should probably
take it from here, but when I think about - You're
doing great. All of the heavens and everything
in there, the angels, the demons, whatever, the
heavenly bodies, who knows what it is. I don't
think we have to worry about it so much. The
term extraterrestrial gets thrown around a lot,
but what we really should be talking about is
extradimensional. Because what we're talking
about is another kingdom, another world. It is
paralleled as alongside of this one. And we don't
know how many dimensions there are. The Bible
is not clear on that, but it is very clear that
there are other realms. And in those realms,
there are nefarious and dark actors. and called
demons. And the scripture talks about demons,
how they can literally disguise themselves as
an angel of light. They can present themselves
as, I am here to help you. And in the scriptures,
it opens up that there is a full other realm.
It's so funny because people go, oh, I cannot
believe the Bible because it talks about all
this fantasy and all these other. dimensions
and realms and heaven and hell and all this,
you know, stuff. And yet they're running off
chasing this stuff like it's the last plane out
of Vietnam. It's like, man, I got to get to this
stuff. It's amazing. And so it's really, it's
mind -bending. You know, Frank Turek wrote a
book called, I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be
an Atheist. And you alluded to that earlier.
I love that line. And yeah, Frank Turek. And
so I'm seeing this happen and I'm seeing people
get worked up, spun up. You know, people like
to think that they know something that others
don't. You know, it's called esoteric knowledge.
And I've brought this up before, but it bears
bringing up again. People love to have the inside
scoop. I mean, whether it's, whether you're a
podcaster or not, you just, you want to know
in the, in the middle of your friend's group,
hey, I know something you don't. Let me tell
you, let me inform you. And there's a real platforming
that happens in the psyche and in the mind of,
you know, I'm going to look good in my friend's
eyes or I'm going to look good in this peer group
because I know something they don't. And that's
very common. So I'm watching this kind of unfold
and I'm watching like this pastor. You know,
I bet when he got that information, he was, you
can hear in his voice how excited he was. He
was loving this. And instead of being, man, this
is, instead of being sober minded, he was, he
reminded me of the weather channel when there's
a hurricane. And you're thinking, man, Cantora,
you're a little too excited about this, bro.
This is dangerous. People are, you know, I know
this makes your year, you know. But it's kind
of that, should we be excited about this or should
we be sober -minded? And the scripture talks
about living sober -minded. In Thessalonians,
I was reading this morning, it was talking about
being sober -minded. Be clear -headed. Don't
be drunk on the world. Be alive in Christ and
clear -minded. And so I just see a pastor like
this and I know the temptation of that. You know,
we've got enough people in our big town of Fredericksburg
that have been some places. I mean, they've been
in meetings, they've been in closed door meetings,
they've been in DC, they've been in Iran, Iraq,
Afghanistan, you name it. They've been in, and
they love to saddle up beside you and say, well,
brother, you're not going to believe what I'm
about to tell you. I hear this at least three
or four times a week. Right. Or I'll get a text
or I'll be in a text group and you know, oh man,
just wait till this all comes. It's about to
go down, brother. I hear this all the time, Pastor
Jimmy. And we got to prepare our people. It's
all about to go down. I've heard this for years.
And I'm like, well, what does about to mean?
Clarify. So that's what we're seeing right now.
So I'm really, man, just sort of embarrassed.
I'm sad for this pastor because he should have
come back with a repentant spirit and said, you
know what? I jumped the gun. I missed some things.
I got excited about this. And just have the character
and the humility to say, wow, swinging a miss.
I missed that. I made a mistake. Yeah, but that's
his entire show is doing. And the groovy thing
is, is that we actually have something. We have
some information. Guess what the information
is. Yes, we do, brother. The information is that,
yeah, yeah, extra dimensional, supernatural.
Absolutely. can't really explain it. God have
some mysticism in life. And even the angels don't
know exactly when it's all coming down. So you
don't have to worry about it. Live long and prosper,
my brothers. Occupy until he returns. I mean,
we've got work to do and it has nothing to do
with chasing flying saucers. And I told our people,
I said, leave your high school. telescope in
the closet, do not run out at night, you know,
scouring the skies for objects, bananas and flying
saucers. So, you know, we laughed about it because
I wanted to break up some of the tension in the
room because it is the elephant in the room.
And we had a good time and a good laugh about
it. And I said, guys, none of this is new. We've
been aware of other dimensions for thousands
of years. And then all of a sudden we're told,
this is it. They're about to tell us that they
seeded the planet, that God doesn't exist. Well,
you know, okay, leave it up to the Antichrist
to say something like that, but I don't see him
yet. So it's embarrassing. That's really the
only danger I think is that the enemy uses this
to get us spun up, to keep us spun up, to keep
us on edge, to keep us going down paths that
make no sense. I think keep us distracted. Yeah,
that is a real danger that we should be on the
lookout for. Agreed. But on the other hand, I'm
buying the tickets for the IMAX, brother. I can't
wait to see Disclosure Day. It's going to be
awesome. We should go together. The four of us
should go together. Curry crew, dinner day, date,
you know, dinner and a movie. Let's go have a
good time and laugh and enjoy it. And we're going
to hear a lot of, even in that trailer, I heard
phrases that people say to me all the time and
like, man, you know, When I tell you this, you're
not going to believe it. If I were to tell you
this, you'd never believe it. I could write the
script of that trailer just from people in church.
I'm not lying. Something about Fredericksburg
too. We've got people that are connected, or
at least they tell me they are, to things. I
get this all the time. Just as an aside, believers
are moviegoers. So, we're a willing target and
I will give them my 12 bucks. You got me. You
got me. First of all, it'd be a great time out
with the Currys to get to hang out and have a
fun time. But it'll be good show material. From
the next week, we'll go, all right, we saw this
movie. It's going to be fantastic. We've been
watching this movie since I was born, basically,
because the whole world has been like this ever
since I can remember. There's always something
coming. It's always about to happen. Yeah, I've
been through a lot of conspiracy theories and
I can safely say most of them are kind of conspiracy
theories. There's a couple of them that I have
my opinions on, but the one that I love the most
was searching for God and searching for Jesus
and it only took me two weeks to go, yeah, this
one's the real deal. This one I can confidently
say is the real deal. Well, brother, I got to
say you've got me watching the two towers a lot
more closely and you've got me watching the bouncing
buggy on the moon, too. You know, I'm going,
okay, man, that is pretty fake. I got my thoughts
about that. Why haven't we been back there? Well,
apparently we're going. You got me wondering.
All right, brother. It's 1130 here, so I'm going
to pack it in for the night. But I'm glad we
were able to do this transatlantic connection.
Love it. Because I wanted to make sure that we
keep our regular weekly show going, if only because
I don't like it walking in Sunday and people
going, hey, man. What happened? Where's the show,
man? What happened to the show? Are y 'all not
going to do one this week? What's going on with
that? Yeah. The sound of disdain. Hey, do tell
Kevin and Christina, send our love. We're so
proud of them and proud for them. And tell Tina
we miss her too. I mean, we miss you guys. So
we're looking forward to having you back in the...
Texas Hill Country soon, and then we've got a
big trip coming up. We do. We're going to Nashville,
we're going to K -Love, and we'll have a lot
to talk about for sure. That's right. We'll be
in the biodome. All right, brother. Have yourself
a great couple of days. We'll see you in church
on Sunday. We'll be there. All right. Much love,
brother. Bye -bye. And we will be back on Wednesday.
That's right. We keep doing it because we get
to do this. We'll see you next week. Bye -bye.
We get to do this This is a chance we did not
miss This is life We get to do this
