The Rise of Antisemitism in the Church with Dr. Michael Rydelnik & The Power of Sacred Rest with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith · Karl and Crew

• 0:00
  S1: Broadcasting from Chicago, across North America and beyond. It's Carl
• 0:06
  S1: and crew. Come as you are an experienced guide, overcome
• 0:10
  S1: what seems impossible and live as you never imagined delivering
• 0:16
  S1: the truth daily.
• 0:17
  S2: If it were possible to have every worldly gain available
• 0:21
  S2: and you're forfeiting your soul, there's no amount of gain
• 0:25
  S2: that would make it worth it.
• 0:26
  S3: Our own way never ever works. Because it's apart from
• 0:29
  S3: the life source, which is God.
• 0:32
  S4: For me, growing up, love was always conditional and can
• 0:36
  S4: be taken from you. Christ's love can't. And he went
• 0:39
  S4: to the cross with my mind and my heart that night.
• 0:44
  S1: Now, from the call of Hope Studios, this is Carl
• 0:48
  S1: and Crew. Well, here he is. The man, the myth,
• 0:51
  S1: the legend.
• 0:51
  S5: Only three guys fit into that category nowadays.
• 0:54
  S6: Only three.
• 0:55
  S5: One of them is.
• 0:56
  S3: Whittling it down.
• 0:57
  S5: Michael Riedel. Nick, I can't just go to everyone.
• 0:59
  S3: Well that's true.
• 1:00
  S4: True. True.
• 1:01
  S5: Which one do you think he would tip on most? Legend.
• 1:04
  S5: Myth or man? Young thunder.
• 1:08
  S3: I guess he would probably have. Myth seems a little
• 1:11
  S3: like mysterious. I don't. I think he's got enough out
• 1:14
  S3: there to where no one's questioning whether he exists or not. Yeah.
• 1:17
  S5: So let's go. Legend.
• 1:18
  S3: Did I say legend? Legend. Man. Myth.
• 1:21
  S5: Yeah. Boy, that's. That's. We gotta keep him humble, too. Hello, Michael.
• 1:25
  S5: How are you today?
• 1:27
  S7: I'm. Well, until that. Until about a minute ago.
• 1:32
  S8: Until about me.
• 1:33
  S5: You're a good man, Michael, I love you. Uh, Michael,
• 1:37
  S5: we're going on a cruise in June. Can you believe it, friend?
• 1:40
  S7: Well, I can't believe it. It's pretty exciting, you know,
• 1:44
  S7: and I have no idea anything about. I know nothing
• 1:47
  S7: about Alaska. You know, that's not going to be my
• 1:49
  S7: job to be a guide. No, my job, you and I,
• 1:52
  S7: we you can be a guide because, you know Alaska.
• 1:54
  S5: Well, I don't know the inside passage. See, we're sailing
• 1:57
  S5: out of Seattle. We were going to Skagway and Glacier Bay.
• 2:00
  S5: I've been to Glacier Bay. I've been to Juneau, where
• 2:02
  S5: I've been to some of these stops. But I flew
• 2:03
  S5: in on bush planes and the like. But my understanding is,
• 2:07
  S5: from people that have cruised a bit, they say this
• 2:10
  S5: is the top cruise they've ever been on. Truly.
• 2:13
  S7: I'm looking forward to that. But here's the thing that
• 2:15
  S7: we both know that we're not tasked to be the
• 2:17
  S7: guides and lead the excursions. No, our task is to
• 2:20
  S7: teach the word yes. And so when we gather on
• 2:22
  S7: this cruise, we're going to have time in the word
• 2:24
  S7: together and worship. And that's what you and I can do.
• 2:27
  S7: And I'm happy that I get to do that.
• 2:29
  S5: So let's talk about the Beatitudes. You know, there was
• 2:32
  S5: a guy years ago that that actually was a bit derided.
• 2:37
  S5: He called them, uh, the B happies and he did
• 2:41
  S5: a book to that end. Actually, he's closer than some
• 2:44
  S5: may like on that one. There's a real joy in
• 2:47
  S5: these Beatitudes, isn't there, Michael?
• 2:49
  S9: Yeah, it's the.
• 2:51
  S7: Word Makarios translated blessed could mean happy, but I think
• 2:55
  S7: it's a different kind. It's a spiritually deep kind of happiness.
• 3:00
  S7: It is not. Oh, I have a really great schedule
• 3:04
  S7: this semester. Happy? It's it's it's not.
• 3:07
  S5: I've got a new car with new car smell.
• 3:09
  S7: Yeah, exactly. It's not that kind of happy. It's a deep,
• 3:13
  S7: abiding joy and contentment in the Lord, regardless of circumstances.
• 3:19
  S7: That's what the word means.
• 3:21
  S5: And isn't that the essence of faith? Michael? I mean,
• 3:24
  S5: when push comes to shove, I, you know, I'm going
• 3:27
  S5: to Paul, whether I have suffering need or I have much,
• 3:30
  S5: I can do all things through him who gives me strength.
• 3:33
  S7: I'll go to Paul someplace different. He's in acts 16.
• 3:35
  S7: He's in Philippi. He's thrown in jail. He's locked up.
• 3:39
  S7: He's sitting there with Silas, and he has enough macarios, uh,
• 3:44
  S7: blessedness that what do they do? They start singing.
• 3:47
  S5: Loudly.
• 3:48
  S7: That's it. It's not just a contentment, but a joy.
• 3:52
  S7: Wherever God puts me, I know that this is his
• 3:54
  S7: plan for me. It's it's going to be best for me,
• 3:57
  S7: even if it's hard for me. I'm you know, there
• 3:59
  S7: are people who will be on this cruise. I guarantee
• 4:02
  S7: you there may be on chemotherapy. They're dealing with cancer. Yes.
• 4:06
  S7: They suffered the loss of a of a husband or
• 4:09
  S7: a wife or a child or a parent. And they're
• 4:12
  S7: going to be on this cruise. And it's not that
• 4:14
  S7: they're not grieving or struggling or, but they have that
• 4:17
  S7: deep joy or they're longing for it from the word
• 4:21
  S7: and the spirit to bring it to them. That's what
• 4:24
  S7: the the sermon on the Mount is about.
• 4:26
  S5: Yeah. So we're going to be breaking through that. We've
• 4:28
  S5: got numbers of sessions, and it won't interfere at all
• 4:31
  S5: with seeing God's creation. That's going to be truly amazing.
• 4:34
  S5: And then Micah Tyler, let me tell you, I have
• 4:37
  S5: not met him, but I've heard him speak. He's a
• 4:40
  S5: pastor that really went into, well, moved to Nashville and
• 4:46
  S5: went all in on recordings. But he's got a pastor's heart, Michael.
• 4:50
  S5: And that's tremendous, isn't it?
• 4:52
  S7: You know, the first time I heard him, he he
• 4:53
  S7: did a really sweet song. This is a number of
• 4:56
  S7: years ago, he did a song about millennials pray for millennials,
• 4:59
  S7: and I don't know if you've ever heard it. I
• 5:01
  S7: don't think that's when he was a pastor. And that's when,
• 5:04
  S7: you know, he really wasn't known for his music, but
• 5:06
  S7: he did this song. It exploded across YouTube and I
• 5:10
  S7: didn't know that. Yeah. And that's how he kind of
• 5:13
  S7: became well known and moved more into worship. But the
• 5:16
  S7: thing is, it's kind of funny. It's laughing at millennials, right?
• 5:19
  S7: But then it says, pray for millennials because they've got struggles.
• 5:24
  S7: It showed his pastor's heart. And I really appreciated the song.
• 5:27
  S7: You should Look it up. But he's going to be
• 5:29
  S7: leading our worship. He's got a he's a great musician,
• 5:31
  S7: great worship leader, great pastor, dynamite.
• 5:34
  S5: Okay. Super guy. Why don't you do the favors here?
• 5:37
  S5: Letting everyone know, by the way, we're well over half
• 5:40
  S5: filled on this thing. Room for 800 passengers for our
• 5:44
  S5: portion of the ship, which is a big chunk. But
• 5:47
  S5: how do they get signed up here?
• 5:48
  S4: Super real simple. You text that word cruise CRUISE, the
• 5:54
  S4: word is cruise 805 557898. The Moody Radio Alaska cruise
• 6:00
  S4: dates are June 5th through the 12th. You just heard
• 6:03
  S4: Carl be there, Doctor Michael as well as Micah Tyler,
• 6:07
  S4: Texas cruise for all the details 800 555, 78, 98.
• 6:13
  S5: It's going to be great coming up here in a moment.
• 6:15
  S5: Christian anti-Semitism, isn't that an oxymoron? Isn't that holy inconsistent? Well,
• 6:22
  S5: it should be, but it's not. Michael Ray, don't think
• 6:25
  S5: we're going to be spiking the Moody summit opposing the
• 6:29
  S5: new Christian anti-Semitism. Straight ahead.
• 6:33
  S1: It's Carl and Crew on Moody Radio.
• 6:36
  S5: With me right now, a dear friend. I love this guy.
• 6:39
  S5: The more we talk, the more I love him. And
• 6:41
  S5: he's got a heart as big as a bucket for
• 6:43
  S5: the things of God and the people of God and
• 6:45
  S5: the Jewish people. Michael, you're a messianic Jewish young man
• 6:51
  S5: back in the day. Weren't you?
• 6:52
  S7: Well, I'm still a messianic Jewish, but I'm not so
• 6:54
  S7: young anymore.
• 6:55
  S8: Well, I'm. We'll go with it.
• 6:57
  S5: How did God call you? Out of darkness?
• 6:59
  S7: Well, it was really my mom who was a Holocaust survivor.
• 7:02
  S7: She was a secret believer for many years. She went public.
• 7:06
  S7: My dad divorced her over it. And this is in
• 7:08
  S7: the early 70s. And I was a high school student
• 7:11
  S7: and got totally hostile with her. Wouldn't even talk to her.
• 7:16
  S7: And then I thought, I'm going to pull her out
• 7:18
  S7: of this. I'm going to go see this Bible teacher
• 7:20
  S7: that has been disrupting our family life. And I argued
• 7:23
  S7: and argued and argued with this woman, this Jewish woman.
• 7:27
  S7: And I always felt that her explanations of these messianic
• 7:31
  S7: passages made a lot more sense than my explanations. And
• 7:35
  S7: it's actually I got invited one time I went to
• 7:38
  S7: a film thinking, I'll never have to go back. I'll
• 7:40
  S7: go this one time, say, I hated it, and I'll
• 7:42
  S7: go to the service of this messianic congregation. And, uh, sure,
• 7:46
  S7: it was a Chosen People Ministries planted congregation in Brooklyn,
• 7:50
  S7: I went. The film was His Land by Billy Graham,
• 7:53
  S7: and it was at that film that when the Billy
• 7:56
  S7: Graham associate gave the invitation, I said, I'm not going
• 7:59
  S7: to raise my hand in front of 200 people. And
• 8:02
  S7: he said, everyone, bow your head and bow your heart,
• 8:04
  S7: which I didn't even know how to do. But then
• 8:06
  S7: he said, if you want to trust in Jesus as
• 8:08
  S7: your Messiah, raise your hand. I said, I'm not going
• 8:11
  S7: to do it. And I was shocked to see my
• 8:12
  S7: hand going up and I thought, I'll never tell a soul,
• 8:15
  S7: and I'll put it down as fast as I can.
• 8:17
  S7: And the guy said, I see that hand. And my
• 8:20
  S7: mom's friend, she said she peeked, actually, while she did,
• 8:24
  S7: her friend Claire in the front row, looked into the
• 8:27
  S7: back and said, It's Michael in front of 200 people,
• 8:29
  S7: and I was completely busted.
• 8:31
  S5: So you know what? You know what's interesting about that?
• 8:33
  S5: Because a lot of people raise hands and it doesn't
• 8:35
  S5: change anything. But the Spirit of God drug your hand
• 8:38
  S5: in the air.
• 8:39
  S7: Oh, yeah.
• 8:40
  S5: You didn't put your hand in the.
• 8:41
  S7: Air like C.S. Lewis says, dragged kicking and screaming into
• 8:44
  S7: the kingdom of God, you know?
• 8:45
  S5: So, hey, real quick, before we get into the summit,
• 8:48
  S5: what was your go to line of argumentation to try
• 8:52
  S5: to deconstruct Jesus as the Messiah? What did you use?
• 8:55
  S5: What did I use? Yeah.
• 8:56
  S7: I used the classic Jewish argument. If Jesus is the Messiah,
• 8:59
  S7: where is the peace, the Messiah, to bring peace to
• 9:02
  S7: the world and justice and the world is unjust and
• 9:05
  S7: full of war. And so where is the peace? Yeah.
• 9:07
  S5: And so circumcised heart and the peace. Yeah. That's.
• 9:11
  S7: And what, what? Hilda Kozar, the woman who I was
• 9:13
  S7: meeting with. She said he is the Prince of Peace.
• 9:16
  S7: You could have peace in your heart. Now you can
• 9:18
  S7: have peace with God. And one day when he returns,
• 9:21
  S7: he will establish peace on earth.
• 9:23
  S5: Beautiful. Michael. He called that anti-Semitism. I think you got
• 9:29
  S5: it going. I'm sure someone else did first, but boy,
• 9:32
  S5: it's everywhere. Even in the mainstream. There is Jewish hatred.
• 9:36
  S5: And here's what's crazy about it. He always used to
• 9:39
  S5: be on the left wing of the political aisle. Now
• 9:41
  S5: it's on the right wing of the political aisle, and
• 9:44
  S5: it seems like the land in between is getting more
• 9:47
  S5: narrow by the day.
• 9:49
  S7: Yeah, and I'll tell you what's not wrong, but what's
• 9:52
  S7: scary about it is that many of the most of
• 9:56
  S7: the online anti-Semitism or Jew hatred, I like calling it
• 10:00
  S7: that the Jew hatred that I encounter online on social media.
• 10:06
  S7: It's coming from people who profess to be followers of Jesus,
• 10:10
  S7: and they're using Bible verses to justify it. They're taking
• 10:13
  S7: those verses out of context, or they're cutting them up
• 10:16
  S7: and not having the whole verse. One pastor actually wrote
• 10:19
  S7: a really hostile statement about how we should hate the
• 10:22
  S7: Jewish people because they are enemies of the gospel. Romans
• 10:24
  S7: 1128 and he was actually saying, we're called to hate
• 10:27
  S7: the Jewish people because they're enemies of the gospel. You know,
• 10:30
  S7: if you read the whole verse, it says that, yes,
• 10:32
  S7: Jewish people are enemies of the gospel, but they are
• 10:35
  S7: chosen and beloved for the sake of the forefathers. Read
• 10:40
  S7: the whole verse, man. The verse says they are loved
• 10:43
  S7: by God, you know. And so we are certainly not
• 10:46
  S7: called to hate. In fact, in Romans 11, it says
• 10:49
  S7: that the branches that are grafted in. What are they
• 10:52
  S7: called to do? They're called not to be arrogant toward
• 10:56
  S7: the branches. The original branches, they're called not to be
• 10:59
  S7: ignorant of God's plan for the Jewish people, and yet
• 11:02
  S7: they are.
• 11:03
  S5: All you have to do is read Romans two four
• 11:05
  S5: and don't presume on the riches of the kindness of God,
• 11:08
  S5: that it's his love and mercy and kindness that led
• 11:13
  S5: us to repentance. I mean, my goodness. So where's all
• 11:17
  S5: this hatred coming from other than demonic sources that you can't.
• 11:21
  S5: There's no we've been hitting this a lot. This is demonic, Michael.
• 11:24
  S7: I think it is. But I think those demonic bots
• 11:27
  S7: got going right after 2023. October 7th, 2023. I mean,
• 11:32
  S7: the evidence is strong that social media was inundated with
• 11:36
  S7: bots from the Islamic world and from Russia. You know
• 11:40
  S7: what bots are. They're not real people. And and they
• 11:43
  S7: are just promoting all sorts of lies about Israel, about
• 11:46
  S7: the Jewish people. And then what happens is once those
• 11:49
  S7: things get connected, they get forwarded, they get adopted. And
• 11:52
  S7: then there are people here in America who say, oh,
• 11:55
  S7: it's I'm safe now to say these things that I've
• 11:57
  S7: always thought. And I think that explains some of the
• 12:00
  S7: media personalities who are not known for hatred of Jewish people.
• 12:04
  S7: And then all of a sudden started. It's not that
• 12:06
  S7: they changed. Oh, no, no, no, they always thought it,
• 12:08
  S7: but now they're free to do it. They're safe.
• 12:11
  S5: Michael, this is not just an information issue though, because
• 12:16
  S5: I'm thinking of I'm going to call it out. I'm
• 12:19
  S5: thinking of Tucker Carlson on the far right. He's got
• 12:23
  S5: all the all the information. He's not. He distorts it.
• 12:27
  S7: Listen, he I think what happened when the bots hit.
• 12:31
  S7: That's when he realized I got permission. No one's going
• 12:33
  S7: to get mad at me for doing this.
• 12:34
  S5: Oh, so you think it was in his heart to
• 12:36
  S5: begin with?
• 12:36
  S7: Always. Yeah. And he's a disingenuous person. And what happened
• 12:41
  S7: is he began to say these things and got a
• 12:45
  S7: greater following for it, because Doctor Arthur W Kak, a
• 12:49
  S7: moody author from the 50s, and 60s, an old Jewish
• 12:52
  S7: believer medical doctor who I met when I was a
• 12:55
  S7: new believer, Doctor Kak wrote. That hatred of the Jewish
• 12:58
  S7: people is endemic. That's the best way that he could
• 13:02
  S7: describe it.
• 13:03
  S5: It's embedded in you.
• 13:04
  S7: It's under the surface. It's always there. And then periodically,
• 13:08
  S7: it explodes like an epidemic. And that's what we're seeing now.
• 13:13
  S7: And I, I think that that's what the big problem
• 13:17
  S7: is here. And we need to do something. We need
• 13:20
  S7: to motivate, bring together believers who will stand for the
• 13:24
  S7: Word of God and God's heart for the people of
• 13:27
  S7: Israel and the Jewish people who will take a stand
• 13:30
  S7: for the truth. And and that's what we're doing at
• 13:34
  S7: the Moody Summit opposing the new Christian anti-Semitism, which, by
• 13:37
  S7: the way, if you look at the old Christian anti-Semitism
• 13:40
  S7: sounds a lot like the new Christian anti-Semitism. It's just
• 13:42
  S7: been under wraps.
• 13:43
  S5: Rebranded. Rebranded. Michael, I have a thought on this one.
• 13:46
  S5: I did a deep dive yesterday on some history. The amount.
• 13:50
  S5: Here's what's crazy about this. So you might say, well,
• 13:54
  S5: we're kind of insulated from this Jew hatred will be
• 13:58
  S5: quickly followed by Christian hatred. It's true in communism, socialism,
• 14:03
  S5: anywhere you see moral relativism. So there might be a
• 14:08
  S5: sense in which Christians say, boy, isn't that so bad?
• 14:11
  S5: That's happened. Jewish people. Michael, these are paired. You do
• 14:15
  S5: not avoid this persecution that's coming even as a Christ follower.
• 14:19
  S5: That's why I think we need to get our feet
• 14:21
  S5: on the rock with regard to this issue.
• 14:23
  S7: Michael, the Jewish people are the canary in the coal mine.
• 14:26
  S7: When they attack them. Just look for the attack on
• 14:30
  S7: Christians coming soon. Think about the Nazis. They came for
• 14:33
  S7: the Jews first. But then what happened? Bonhoeffer, Niemöller, others,
• 14:37
  S7: anyone who stood for the gospel became targets for the Nazis.
• 14:41
  S7: They didn't want Christians either. You know what the Nazis
• 14:44
  S7: were doing? They were replacing the Bible in the churches
• 14:47
  S7: with Mein Kampf.
• 14:48
  S5: Yeah.
• 14:48
  S7: They were. They were replacing the hymns of the faith
• 14:52
  S7: with Nazi political songs. They were trying to turn the faith,
• 14:58
  S7: the true faith, and the churches into Nazi messages. And
• 15:04
  S7: this is what people don't understand. They want to destroy
• 15:06
  S7: the church, but they started by destroying the Jewish people.
• 15:10
  S7: When we buy into the hatred of the Jewish people,
• 15:12
  S7: believers were next.
• 15:14
  S5: Or when you are passive, not even buy into. If
• 15:17
  S5: we passively sit back, it's going to get dangerous. So
• 15:21
  S5: this can get. A lot of people freaked out. But Michael,
• 15:24
  S5: this summit real quick, we got 30s spike it. What
• 15:27
  S5: do you hope to achieve with this?
• 15:29
  S7: Well, we want to mobilize motivate. We want to give
• 15:32
  S7: people some content that they can promote. We're looking for
• 15:36
  S7: a way of getting believers to influence others to oppose this.
• 15:42
  S7: And that's what we're doing there. It's to inform, to motivate,
• 15:45
  S7: to transform those around us with the truth.
• 15:49
  S5: So here's what you do. Boom crew. I want you
• 15:50
  S5: to be at this. It's November 7th right here in Chicago.
• 15:55
  S5: And I'm asking you to check it out right now.
• 15:59
  S5: And if you plug into your registration radio 20, you
• 16:03
  S5: get 20% discount on registration. So you've got every motivator
• 16:08
  S5: you need right now. Text summit to 800 555 7898,
• 16:14
  S5: one word summit to 805 557898.
• 16:19
  S1: You're listening to Carl and Crew on Moody Radio.
• 16:23
  S5: Okay. Lot going on in the world today. In fact,
• 16:25
  S5: we don't normally jump in on all the breaking news
• 16:29
  S5: because some of it's just nonsense. Crazy. My goodness, if
• 16:37
  S5: it bleeds, it leads, right?
• 16:38
  S2: Journalist oh.
• 16:40
  S10: That was always how it went.
• 16:42
  S5: I don't think it changed.
• 16:43
  S3: You know, it's funny that that is how that goes.
• 16:45
  S3: I have, you know, my news aggregate where I have
• 16:47
  S3: lists of stories. And obviously those ones are always find
• 16:50
  S3: their way to the top. And then I have also
• 16:53
  S3: the McRib is back at McDonald's. Like, wow. Like of
• 16:58
  S3: the of those stories I have, you know, the really
• 17:01
  S3: like awful ones. And then I have the McRib is
• 17:04
  S3: back at McDonald's.
• 17:05
  S5: McRib back.
• 17:06
  S3: Yeah, it is back. It's what I've heard. And so
• 17:09
  S3: I'm saying that because that was a story that popped
• 17:10
  S3: up in my thing yesterday that I, I neglected to
• 17:13
  S3: read on air for obvious reasons.
• 17:16
  S5: I don't want to sound snooty because I'm not, but
• 17:19
  S5: I don't think I'm going to Max lounge for ribs.
• 17:21
  S3: In all honesty, I used to, I, I'm not I
• 17:24
  S3: never had them. I've never tasted them. I used to
• 17:26
  S3: work at McDonald's and I'd see them and they did
• 17:29
  S3: not look very appetizing to me and so I would
• 17:31
  S3: not eat them. Uh.
• 17:33
  S5: That's a crack.
• 17:34
  S3: Yeah.
• 17:34
  S5: I mean, what in the world? How are they selling
• 17:38
  S5: something for $2.19? That's going to look anything close to
• 17:42
  S5: real ribs?
• 17:43
  S3: It doesn't look like anything close to real ribs. It's
• 17:44
  S3: like pork that is shaped in the form of ribs.
• 17:49
  S3: There's no.
• 17:50
  S5: Bones.
• 17:52
  S3: The McRib is back, but everyone loves it. And it
• 17:54
  S3: becomes a news item every time it's back.
• 17:56
  S10: It's really it's really interesting. It's got quite the following.
• 18:00
  S3: It does.
• 18:00
  S10: Did you call it Max lounge?
• 18:02
  S3: Max lounge.
• 18:03
  S5: Max lounge.
• 18:04
  S10: That's what you call McDonald's.
• 18:05
  S5: Yeah. Max lounge, Mickey D's.
• 18:07
  S3: That sounds like Mickey D's.
• 18:08
  S10: I've heard.
• 18:08
  S3: Mickey D's.
• 18:09
  S5: Max lounge is even better.
• 18:10
  S3: Max lounge sounds like a shady cigar bar.
• 18:14
  S5: Like Max lounge. Cigar bar. That's hilarious.
• 18:21
  S11: Oh that's funny. Stick with Mickey D's Max lounge.
• 18:24
  S5: Yeah, it's a new decor they're doing kind of like
• 18:27
  S5: Taco Bell. They're going to have couches in there, and
• 18:29
  S5: you can sit down with your McRib and postulate on
• 18:32
  S5: the things of the earth.
• 18:33
  S10: I think could be like chick fil A and put
• 18:35
  S10: fresh flowers on the table. That's all.
• 18:37
  S5: That's chick fil A is putting fresh flowers out there.
• 18:40
  S10: They have they owe a.
• 18:41
  S3: Lot of them.
• 18:41
  S10: They do have like a little vase and like a
• 18:43
  S10: little carnation on the table. Yeah. I mean, like, come on.
• 18:47
  S5: I don't think I've ever been inside a chick fil A.
• 18:49
  S10: Really?
• 18:50
  S3: That's pretty good. And as far as I mean, it's
• 18:52
  S3: a fast food joint, but as far as they go, it's.
• 18:54
  S5: I did a drive through in honor of you and
• 18:56
  S5: young Thunder here. The like.
• 18:58
  S10: Chick fil A inside is.
• 19:00
  S3: Is.
• 19:00
  S10: Pretty by far the nicest.
• 19:02
  S3: I would say.
• 19:03
  S10: So fast food joint that you're going to experience.
• 19:05
  S5: Well, here's the ultimate test. What are the toilets look like?
• 19:08
  S5: Are they clean?
• 19:09
  S10: Yes.
• 19:10
  S5: Really?
• 19:10
  S10: Yes. I remember going into one chick fil A, I
• 19:13
  S10: think it was. I was out at a moody event
• 19:15
  S10: and we were out somewhere and we stopped at a
• 19:18
  S10: chick fil A. They had, like, the bathrooms stocked with
• 19:20
  S10: like supplies, like you need a diaper because you got way. Yes.
• 19:24
  S3: Good stuff.
• 19:25
  S10: They had it stocked with stuff that you might have forgotten.
• 19:27
  S3: Go on, chick fil A.
• 19:29
  S5: They have the pens.
• 19:31
  S10: That I don't know.
• 19:32
  S5: I'm just.
• 19:32
  S3: Curious. Probably not.
• 19:33
  S5: Because they've got a lot of elderly people that go
• 19:36
  S5: there for sure. I mean, that's that's a large part
• 19:38
  S5: of their demographic.
• 19:39
  S3: I could imagine.
• 19:41
  S5: I don't know what kind of supplies they got.
• 19:44
  S3: I got a serious conversation about.
• 19:46
  S10: Going to pass on that. I don't know where this
• 19:48
  S10: is going.
• 19:51
  S5: Here's what's funny. When she started with this show, that
• 19:55
  S5: was her common thing is like, I'm out. She'd even
• 19:57
  S5: wave like, like, give me the cut sign. Like I
• 20:00
  S5: ain't going there.
• 20:00
  S3: Yeah.
• 20:01
  S5: You would.
• 20:01
  S3: You used to not put your voice and you just
• 20:03
  S3: shake your head. No.
• 20:04
  S5: Now it's now today she's back to her old self.
• 20:07
  S5: But lately she's been a little bit on the wild side.
• 20:10
  S5: There were a couple of them. I'm like, whoa, I
• 20:12
  S5: don't even know if I'm in on that one.
• 20:14
  S10: Really?
• 20:15
  S5: Yeah.
• 20:15
  S3: What was that? One really thinks it's funny.
• 20:17
  S10: Oh yeah. There was yeah. I mean, I had a
• 20:19
  S10: I had a memorable joke.
• 20:20
  S5: About tear gas. Tear gas.
• 20:22
  S10: I know I've heard about that one.
• 20:27
  S5: When I heard you say that on air, I couldn't
• 20:29
  S5: even laugh. I was so shocked.
• 20:31
  S3: Oh, how we change. It's almost like, uh. Living near Chernobyl.
• 20:35
  S3: Like the environment changes you the longer you stay here.
• 20:39
  S10: Okay, now, that took a real wild left turn.
• 20:42
  S5: Oh. That's wild. I thought you were going to say
• 20:44
  S5: her being around you so much is rubbing off.
• 20:46
  S3: Well, no, it's kind of like the same thing. Like
• 20:48
  S3: this is almost like a this is this is home.
• 20:51
  S3: This studio is almost like a radioactive area. It changes
• 20:54
  S3: you the more you're exposed to it, I have.
• 20:57
  S5: Well, when Henry says you're glowing, it's got a whole
• 20:59
  S5: new meaning. Now.
• 21:02
  S10: Uh, where are we going? Because I feel like we
• 21:04
  S10: got to get back on track.
• 21:05
  S3: No one.
• 21:05
  S12: Knows. We don't know.
• 21:07
  S5: Pretty fun. Um. Oh. So. Breaking news. Yeah. Uh, gives
• 21:11
  S5: really quick update.
• 21:12
  S3: Yeah, yeah. So so this came out recently, the UK.
• 21:16
  S3: Kind of has this, uh, initiative that they're, uh, they're,
• 21:19
  S3: they're getting a campaign going with their public that they're
• 21:22
  S3: encouraging people to have three days worth of supplies stocked
• 21:26
  S3: up inside their house, food, water, other perishables that they
• 21:30
  S3: may need. And, uh, they're not the only ones. We
• 21:33
  S3: looked around and there's a bunch of countries that are
• 21:35
  S3: starting these initiatives France, Japan, Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, the
• 21:39
  S3: US actually started this up as well. And in an
• 21:42
  S3: interesting way for them, the Pentagon has ordered us bases
• 21:45
  S3: to plan for 90 days without the grid. That's a
• 21:48
  S3: big one.
• 21:48
  S5: That's the big.
• 21:49
  S3: One. And their thought on this is, you know, preparedness
• 21:51
  S3: for wars, cyber security threats, natural disasters that would cut
• 21:55
  S3: us off from the grid.
• 21:56
  S5: M PS man.
• 21:57
  S3: Yeah.
• 21:57
  S5: More dangerous. They speculate most geopolitical war analysts say emps
• 22:03
  S5: electromagnetic pulse bombs that detonate over regions that take the.
• 22:08
  S5: I don't think they kill anyone.
• 22:10
  S3: No they don't. They're they're they're.
• 22:11
  S5: They debilitate the electrical. They shut down anything that is
• 22:16
  S5: on an electrical grid or electric in nature.
• 22:19
  S3: Exactly.
• 22:19
  S5: So totally shot.
• 22:20
  S3: If an EMP went off, you know, just out on
• 22:23
  S3: the street, uh, all the cars would shut off because
• 22:26
  S3: they use batteries, uh, chips, lights, you know, any anything? Uh,
• 22:31
  S3: it doesn't have to be connected to a thing to
• 22:33
  S3: turn it off. It's just an electric device that operates
• 22:36
  S3: within the, uh, kind of blast radius would then just
• 22:40
  S3: shut off.
• 22:41
  S5: How wild that like my brothers and our brothers and
• 22:45
  S5: sisters in Burundi and my friends in Burundi, they're pretty
• 22:49
  S5: immune to this stuff because they live off the grid. They're,
• 22:51
  S5: they're hand to mouth.
• 22:52
  S3: Lifestyle wouldn't change all that much. But we're very grid dependent, obviously.
• 22:56
  S5: Oh, are you kidding me? Yeah, we are so grid dependent.
• 23:00
  S5: So there's a lot of talk about this on social
• 23:03
  S5: media as you well know how this goes. It's like, wow. Um,
• 23:09
  S5: there's just, it's just going to be popping and people
• 23:12
  S5: get into panic. Now there's no need for panic. As
• 23:14
  S5: a matter of fact, I heard one commentator say this.
• 23:17
  S5: If he, because he worked for the FBI, he said,
• 23:19
  S5: if you work for the FBI and he was special
• 23:21
  S5: forces military, he they said, you cannot have people that
• 23:25
  S5: have panicked in a past situation on the front lines.
• 23:27
  S10: MM.
• 23:28
  S5: Isn't that interesting?
• 23:29
  S10: Fair.
• 23:30
  S5: He said. There's you cannot have panic. And we're on
• 23:34
  S5: the front lines. Boom crew. We're on the front lines.
• 23:38
  S5: But could it be that we're primed for something really amazing?
• 23:44
  S5: Could it be that we're just. I mean, ready for
• 23:46
  S5: something absolutely amazing? So let me let me just tell you,
• 23:51
  S5: God's timing is amazing on this one. And we're just look,
• 23:55
  S5: I'm a little fish in a big pond. But for you,
• 23:58
  S5: the boom crew and us, we hear things like this
• 24:01
  S5: and here's what's going to happen. You may have conversations
• 24:05
  S5: with kids that were raised in church, but they're far
• 24:07
  S5: from God. There may be people that are in church
• 24:09
  S5: every weekend. And as we note around here, often when
• 24:13
  S5: you've got pastors saying they're hopeful that 40% of a
• 24:18
  S5: church body, this is at a radically clear Bible preaching
• 24:22
  S5: church They'd be happy if 40% were born again. That's
• 24:27
  S5: a mission field. So what happens when you get stories
• 24:31
  S5: like this? It causes people. Praise be to God to
• 24:35
  S5: think not only about food and water, but their soul.
• 24:39
  S10: And we know. We know that the preparation that we're
• 24:42
  S10: called to most urgently in Scripture is to be sober minded,
• 24:47
  S10: to be alert, to be on watch, to be on guard,
• 24:50
  S10: not for some sort of attack physically, but for the
• 24:54
  S10: spiritual war that we know that rages every day.
• 24:57
  S5: Oh, Ali and I am I'm telling Ali. About three
• 25:02
  S5: weeks ago, I felt like demonic forces were trying to
• 25:05
  S5: suck this out of my hands, and I can't even
• 25:08
  S5: explain it, except that I felt like I was in
• 25:09
  S5: a war. Like the message of do you know that?
• 25:13
  S5: You know that you stand with God and doing battle
• 25:16
  S5: with this hallucination of salvation which has many in the
• 25:19
  S5: church in the West lost thinking that they've been found.
• 25:25
  S5: And it breaks my heart because I was one and
• 25:28
  S5: we all were in different degrees. That person. Yeah. So
• 25:32
  S5: if we're four for four here, we've got a crisis people.
• 25:37
  S5: And I and I'm not being alarmist. I'm just saying, look,
• 25:41
  S5: Jesus spoke it repetitively and we got an opportunity in
• 25:49
  S5: two weeks, uh, two weeks from Saturday, November 14th, I'm
• 25:53
  S5: going to be hosting a conference, the Unstoppable Gospel Conference,
• 25:56
  S5: and we're going to break it down. What are the
• 25:58
  S5: lies that crept into the church first session? What is
• 26:02
  S5: the truth that's going to bring dead people to life
• 26:04
  S5: in Christ? Third session doing this from hearts. It's not
• 26:08
  S5: the exact title. Seven Surprising Ways God Saves Those We Love.
• 26:13
  S5: This is going to blow such hope into moms and
• 26:16
  S5: dads and brothers and sisters and husbands and wives. I
• 26:20
  S5: kid you not, because some of you have wondered, here's
• 26:22
  S5: what you first wonder. Uh oh. What did I do wrong?
• 26:25
  S5: First off, it's not on you to save your kids
• 26:27
  S5: or your loved ones or anyone. That's the Holy Spirit's job.
• 26:31
  S5: But are there things that we can do to position
• 26:34
  S5: people that are even in a time of concern for
• 26:38
  S5: the gospel? Yeah. And then what's it look like to
• 26:41
  S5: walk in the power of God? I'm so fired up
• 26:43
  S5: about this. It's more than a conference. It's like a summit, man.
• 26:47
  S5: We're meeting at the foot of the cross on this one. Ali.
• 26:49
  S10: Yeah. The unstoppable gospel conference that's coming up Saturday, November 14th.

• 27:26
  S5: When you read this intro. It's gonna, it's gonna jolt you.
• 27:29
  S5: Not in a bad way, but it's sobering. It just is.
• 27:33
  S5: But I'm so grateful that we're going to rally around this.
• 27:38
  S5: You know, when we get to Glory Valley, it's going
• 27:40
  S5: to be wild, isn't it? We're going to look back
• 27:41
  S5: and we're going to see how God was masterminding this
• 27:44
  S5: whole thing sovereignly in control. And could it be that
• 27:47
  S5: we had a conference on November 14th that dovetailed with
• 27:51
  S5: a timeliness in the world events?
• 27:53
  S10: Yes, absolutely. Text intro. We'll get you set up text
• 27:57
  S10: intro to 805 557898, text intro to 805 557898.
• 28:06
  S1: He was sharing the gospel on the radio and then
• 28:09
  S1: he got saved. Young thunders in the crew it's Carl
• 28:13
  S1: and crew on Moody radio.
• 28:15
  S5: You know, I just want to throw it out there.
• 28:19
  S5: it's when we do events or we see people out
• 28:23
  S5: and about. We keep hearing this story of a lot
• 28:26
  S5: of people who are in the boom crew, who were
• 28:29
  S5: raised in a lot of you were raised in church
• 28:31
  S5: and you got saved as a kid, and it's real
• 28:33
  S5: as real can be. And every day you are an apprentice,
• 28:38
  S5: a humble, dependent apprentice on Christ. You don't trust in
• 28:41
  S5: your 401 K and your status in your. How many
• 28:44
  S5: likes you get on Facebook all the time? You don't
• 28:47
  S5: always rely on that, but you. You're in. You're in it,
• 28:50
  S5: I get it, but there's a vast number of you
• 28:53
  S5: that were raised in church thought you were born again
• 28:55
  S5: and you were lost. And this is the this is
• 28:59
  S5: the crisis that we have. So call in. That was you.
• 29:04
  S5: You thought you were saved and you were lost. Give
• 29:07
  S5: us a call right now 805 557898. We'll chat it
• 29:11
  S5: up with you here. 805 557898. And I think it's
• 29:16
  S5: important to talk about this because it's way more prevalent
• 29:21
  S5: than people might think. We're four for four here in
• 29:24
  S5: some variation of being churched but being lost. Alli right
• 29:29
  S5: here on the Morning show.
• 29:30
  S10: Absolutely. So we'd love to hear your story. You thought
• 29:32
  S10: you were saved. You were lost. 855 578, 98, 800 555, 78, 98.
• 29:40
  S1: He's a sports fanatic with a stat for anything you
• 29:44
  S1: can think of. Young Thunder is in the crew. It's
• 29:48
  S1: Carl and crew on Moody Radio.
• 29:51
  S5: And truth with a twist at the end is what
• 29:56
  S5: Satan does. And there's so many that are so close
• 30:00
  S5: but yet so far away. And they prayed a prayer
• 30:02
  S5: on the edge of a bed. They lifted a hand
• 30:05
  S5: when no one was looking, they walked an aisle. But
• 30:07
  S5: they never followed Jesus King. God saved people in that situation. Yeah,
• 30:11
  S5: I heard a story earlier from Michael Redlick, but the
• 30:16
  S5: proof in him was that he told himself, ain't no way.
• 30:20
  S5: My hands going in the air to follow Jesus.
• 30:23
  S10: Then all of a sudden.
• 30:24
  S5: And it involuntarily went in the air.
• 30:26
  S2: Yeah.
• 30:26
  S10: Yeah.
• 30:27
  S3: And his life changed.
• 30:28
  S10: Incredible.
• 30:29
  S5: Yeah. I mean, it's incredible story. But do we have
• 30:32
  S5: an epidemic of people who are raised in church and
• 30:34
  S5: have never been in Christ? R.C. Sproul, before he passed away, said,
• 30:38
  S5: you can profess Jesus and not possess him. And his
• 30:42
  S5: words are it is everywhere. Wow. Jim and Schomberg asking,
• 30:48
  S5: answering the question, were you lost and how long were
• 30:51
  S5: you lost thinking you were saved?
• 30:54
  S13: Hi Carl, I love your love, your love, your radio program.
• 30:57
  S13: I listen to it every day.
• 30:59
  S5: Glad for you, man. We love. We love Jim, don't we?
• 31:01
  S10: Yes we do. Give us your story, Jim.
• 31:05
  S13: Uh, for 25 years, I told people I was a Christian. Uh,
• 31:08
  S13: and then I got saved. I guess I didn't know
• 31:11
  S13: what I didn't know.
• 31:12
  S5: What didn't you know? I mean, you got swept along
• 31:15
  S5: in cultural Christianity. You had church. Were you going to
• 31:19
  S5: church periodically every Sunday? Every Sunday.
• 31:24
  S13: I wouldn't miss it. But, you know, you start getting
• 31:27
  S13: older and then you get in your 20s and you
• 31:28
  S13: do stuff that are wrong, and then you start doing
• 31:30
  S13: stuff that's longer than wrong. And, uh, you know, you're feeling.
• 31:35
  S13: I got to change my life. My roommate got saved,
• 31:38
  S13: my brother got saved. And I figured, what the heck,
• 31:41
  S13: I might as well try to give my heart to
• 31:42
  S13: Jesus Christ like they did. And so I did. And
• 31:45
  S13: then one night in bed, I got saved. And I said, what?
• 31:49
  S13: People didn't believe it. So people I know didn't believe it.
• 31:52
  S13: It's true.
• 31:53
  S5: So we're going to. Jim, thanks for calling in. We're
• 31:56
  S5: going to keep you on the horn here for a moment.
• 31:58
  S5: You're going to be our special guest here for a second.
• 32:00
  S5: So I'm doing this conference on the 14th. My heart
• 32:04
  S5: passion behind this thing is to illuminate something that's been
• 32:08
  S5: in the fog, Jim, and that is that we've got
• 32:10
  S5: an epidemic, a crisis in the church of people who
• 32:13
  S5: think they know Jesus and don't. We aren't far off here,
• 32:16
  S5: are we? We don't know what the crisis is. We
• 32:18
  S5: just know it's big. Right, Jim?
• 32:21
  S13: Yeah. Well, you know, everybody knows everybody has a conscience. And,
• 32:25
  S13: you know, when you're doing something wrong, but then you
• 32:28
  S13: can't stop doing it. And the only hope I had
• 32:31
  S13: was giving my heart to Jesus Christ. Yes. And with
• 32:34
  S13: the power that God had given me, I was able
• 32:36
  S13: to change my life. I mean, I'm not perfect, but
• 32:39
  S13: I tell you what. I don't want to go back.
• 32:41
  S13: I will not go back to Egypt. That was terrible.
• 32:43
  S13: So yeah, man, I'm thankful to God that he was there.
• 32:45
  S13: I'm thankful people in my life that showed me the way.
• 32:48
  S5: Yeah. That's so cool. Way to go, Jim and Schomberg.
• 32:52
  S5: It's a real thing. Ali.
• 32:54
  S10: It is. And you know, we had somebody who texted
• 32:57
  S10: in and said, you know that they're glad that we're
• 32:59
  S10: talking about this and that there's no shame in that.
• 33:03
  S10: We're removing some of the shame that that can exist. Oh,
• 33:07
  S10: you're feeling like you're saved, but you're not. And I
• 33:11
  S10: thought that that was a really good point. They said
• 33:14
  S10: there's no shame. It's important to talk about it because
• 33:16
  S10: it helps people to not be afraid or scared to
• 33:18
  S10: admit they're not safe. There's no shame in realizing it.
• 33:22
  S5: None.
• 33:22
  S10: And I think that that's a really great.
• 33:25
  S14: That's a great point.
• 33:26
  S10: Great point.
• 33:27
  S3: And Satan will use shame to keep you from it.
• 33:30
  S3: He'll say, are what are people gonna think? Everyone's gonna,
• 33:33
  S3: you know, think you're crazy. Everyone's gonna be mad at you.
• 33:35
  S3: Everyone's gonna think you were trying to lie to them
• 33:37
  S3: for years upon years upon years. And that's not the case.
• 33:41
  S14: There's no shame in that.
• 33:42
  S5: You know what else there isn't shame in when you
• 33:44
  S5: raised a kid in church and now they're far from God.
• 33:49
  S5: Or you married a guy that you thought was a Christian,
• 33:52
  S5: but it's very evident he's not. Or a woman, or
• 33:55
  S5: you got a loved one, or you're sitting in church
• 33:57
  S5: at a small group and you know someone's sitting there
• 33:59
  S5: that is not born again. All those things that just
• 34:01
  S5: gave you. There's no shame in that.
• 34:03
  S3: No. My wife was one of those women. My dad
• 34:05
  S3: and my mom were two of those parents that I
• 34:08
  S3: had to come to have a conversation with them and
• 34:11
  S3: tell them I was lost. But now I'm found and
• 34:13
  S3: they rejoiced with me.
• 34:15
  S5: I want you to get to this conference if you can,
• 34:17
  S5: if you're in the Rolling Meadows area. Right on. I'd
• 34:20
  S5: love to shake your hand. That would be so cool.
• 34:22
  S5: But you can be online and we're going to have
• 34:24
  S5: a super. It's going to be an intimate time of
• 34:27
  S5: exploring what is salvation? How can we reach those that
• 34:30
  S5: are lost? Ali. Details sister.
• 34:33
  S10: Yeah. We're going to send you an intro to the
• 34:35
  S10: book as well as the sign up link. So just
• 34:37
  S10: text intro to 805 557898. Just that one word intro.
• 34:44
  S1: He was sharing the gospel on the radio and then
• 34:47
  S1: he got saved. Young thunders in the crew. It's Carl
• 34:52
  S1: and crew on Moody Radio.
• 34:54
  S5: So young thunder, super die. I just want to ask
• 34:57
  S5: you something. Is there anything that you would benefit from
• 35:02
  S5: with regard to This morning show moving like two hours
• 35:06
  S5: later for a start and boom, that ain't happening. But
• 35:09
  S5: I'm just wondering, is there anything that you would benefit
• 35:12
  S5: from by moving it two hours later for a start?
• 35:15
  S3: Yes.
• 35:15
  S6: I was like, really? Really?
• 35:17
  S3: Yeah. You mean it? No.
• 35:20
  S5: I can't pull the levers. And they they wouldn't do
• 35:22
  S5: it anyway. But no, a couple hours of sleep because
• 35:26
  S5: circadian rhythms are important, aren't they?
• 35:28
  S3: 100%.
• 35:29
  S5: They really.
• 35:29
  S3: Are. You'd you'd increase your opportunity for more sleep at night,
• 35:34
  S3: which is good because I don't think any of us
• 35:35
  S3: get eight hours or close to it most of the time. Uh,
• 35:38
  S3: and then, you know, when you're driving into work, it's
• 35:41
  S3: always nice to have the sun up already when you're
• 35:43
  S3: coming in. Those are gigantic benefits. So yeah, I'd really
• 35:46
  S3: like that.
• 35:47
  S5: So I'm going to give you one. You're going to
• 35:50
  S5: get refreshed this Sunday because you get an extra hour.
• 35:53
  S3: Oh thank you.
• 35:54
  S5: Yeah. Thank you.
• 35:54
  S3: Thanks for.
• 35:55
  S5: Doing that. I decided to go ahead and do that
• 35:57
  S5: daylight savings. Kick it in gear.
• 35:59
  S6: What a guy.
• 36:00
  S5: Oh I'm so glad we've got Doctor Sandra Dalton Smith.
• 36:04
  S5: She is a board certified internal medicine physician, international speaker,
• 36:09
  S5: and she is with us today to talk about what
• 36:12
  S5: happens inside the body when the clock shifts. Is there
• 36:16
  S5: something to this doc?
• 36:18
  S15: There is. And you're right, the circadian rhythm has a
• 36:21
  S15: huge role in the process, but honestly, it goes a
• 36:24
  S15: lot deeper than that, just in the effect it has
• 36:27
  S15: on how we live our lives.
• 36:29
  S5: So give me some examples of that because everybody's looking
• 36:33
  S5: forward to an extra hour. But there's been a lot
• 36:36
  S5: of studies done on this daylight savings. I mean, the
• 36:39
  S5: amount of accidents that go up, the costs just in
• 36:42
  S5: changing everything over practically globally. It's a big deal, isn't it?
• 36:48
  S15: It is. You know. Yes. You're going to get an
• 36:50
  S15: extra hour of sleep this weekend. But on the flip
• 36:54
  S15: side of that, when it gets darker in the evening
• 36:57
  S15: times quicker, we see an increase in accidents because people,
• 37:01
  S15: they start kind of winding down a lot sooner, so
• 37:03
  S15: their alertness becomes less quicker in the day. So rather
• 37:08
  S15: than having the sun up when you're driving home, a
• 37:10
  S15: lot of people are driving home in darkness. And then
• 37:12
  S15: with that, we also tend to see an increase in
• 37:14
  S15: depression because sunlight actually helps us release serotonin in our
• 37:18
  S15: happy hormones. And so the, the least, the least amount
• 37:22
  S15: of that we get, the more sad and depressed we
• 37:25
  S15: also end up getting.
• 37:26
  S5: Yeah. And that's the natural outworking of, of the seasons.
• 37:30
  S5: There's been a lot of talk about sad disorder. How
• 37:35
  S5: real is that? Some people feel beat up there in
• 37:38
  S5: Christ Jesus, but they feel like they get into a
• 37:41
  S5: funky season around fall or winter. What do you say, doc?
• 37:44
  S15: Yeah, I'm glad you bring that up because biology doesn't
• 37:48
  S15: get removed from your system because you're a believer. Your
• 37:51
  S15: body is still going through the same biology as everyone else.
• 37:56
  S15: And so yes, when the sunlight is less and you're
• 37:59
  S15: not having an opportunity to get outside. I mean, most
• 38:02
  S15: of us are not going to go out for a
• 38:03
  S15: walk if it's completely dark. Whereas in the summer we
• 38:07
  S15: see a lot of people after work going for walks,
• 38:09
  S15: that that increase exposure to the sunlight improves your hormones.
• 38:14
  S15: As far as the hormones that actually help with mood
• 38:17
  S15: and mood regulation. So it's a huge thing. And sad
• 38:20
  S15: is very real, especially in places where it gets darker
• 38:25
  S15: quicker already, even before the time changes. This just makes
• 38:29
  S15: it worse.
• 38:30
  S5: Some of you might be wondering, how can I recover
• 38:33
  S5: some aspects of my life? How can I renew some
• 38:36
  S5: energy or restore maybe even some sanity? That is the
• 38:40
  S5: subtitle to Sacred Rest More with Doctor Sandra Dalton Smith
• 38:45
  S5: straight ahead.
• 38:46
  S1: Walking closer to Jesus every day. You're listening to Carl
• 38:50
  S1: and Crew.
• 38:51
  S5: Our guest right now just in time for daylight savings
• 38:55
  S5: kicking into gear. You get an extra hour of sleep,
• 38:57
  S5: but it's a little darker in the morning. Doctor Sandra
• 39:00
  S5: Dalton Smith is with us. Okay, sister, how in the world,
• 39:04
  S5: from your vantage point as a physician, how do we
• 39:09
  S5: renew energy when it feels like we're starting to lose it?
• 39:12
  S5: What's some practical things we can do?
• 39:15
  S15: I think we have to begin with really understanding what
• 39:18
  S15: type of fatigue that we're experiencing. My work really is
• 39:21
  S15: based around seven types of Rest framework. And so when
• 39:25
  S15: people are able to understand where their fatigue is coming from,
• 39:29
  S15: they can be more intentional in getting the type of
• 39:32
  S15: rest they need. So whether that's physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, social, sensory,
• 39:37
  S15: or creative, they're not just trying to get energy from anywhere.
• 39:41
  S15: They're actually being very intentional about it.
• 39:44
  S5: So it's kind of counterintuitive. I've been a, I've been
• 39:47
  S5: a life hack for a lot of years on my
• 39:49
  S5: physical body health, what I put in my gut. And
• 39:54
  S5: it's interesting because some people feel drained of energy and
• 39:59
  S5: they feel like the last thing I can do is
• 40:01
  S5: work out. But we know that working out, although in
• 40:04
  S5: the short haul may take you backwards, it will ultimately
• 40:08
  S5: take you forwards. Is there science around that? Doc?
• 40:12
  S15: Absolutely. Because when you're working out, yes, your physical body
• 40:16
  S15: is active, but it's improving circulation. And most of us,
• 40:19
  S15: we're sitting around all day, so we need that extra
• 40:22
  S15: circulation to actually improve our lymphatic system, to help us
• 40:27
  S15: be able to flush out toxins as well as sometimes
• 40:30
  S15: when you're physically active, that's when the brain actually can
• 40:34
  S15: be quiet. And so I mentioned mental rest. Some people
• 40:37
  S15: can only experience the quieting of the brain when they're
• 40:40
  S15: physically moving. So things like cycling, going for a walk
• 40:44
  S15: or jog can actually help your mind get clear, despite
• 40:49
  S15: the fact your body is still moving. So it might
• 40:51
  S15: not physically look like rest, but mentally you could be
• 40:54
  S15: experiencing some deep breaths.
• 40:56
  S5: Okay, that can that confirms something for me because I
• 40:59
  S5: find some of the most rejuvenating mental times for me
• 41:02
  S5: is a long walk with my husky dog named blaze.
• 41:06
  S5: No joking. And you say there's a reason for that, right?
• 41:10
  S15: Yeah, because when you're doing rhythmic type activities, your brain
• 41:14
  S15: looks for rhythms to attach to every. Everything in biology
• 41:18
  S15: has some level of rhythm to it. And so when
• 41:21
  S15: you're walking, when you're cycling, when you're jogging, your brain
• 41:24
  S15: can actually kind of focus down, so to speak, on
• 41:27
  S15: the rhythm of that process. And it helps flush out
• 41:30
  S15: and clear out some of the mental fog and some
• 41:33
  S15: of the other noise that's keeping you from being able
• 41:36
  S15: to get to peace.
• 41:37
  S5: My guest, doctor, Sandra Dalton Smith, she is an M.D.,
• 41:42
  S5: and she's really done a deep dive on what renews us,
• 41:46
  S5: restores us, gives us energy. What are some of the
• 41:49
  S5: most surprising findings you have that people would go, hmm,
• 41:53
  S5: didn't know that.
• 41:54
  S15: I think one of the most surprising has been most
• 41:56
  S15: people don't think about creative fatigue. They assume that fatigue
• 42:02
  S15: is mostly physical. But if you're problem solving, if you're
• 42:05
  S15: having to think outside of the box, be innovative, come
• 42:08
  S15: up with solutions. You're using a lot of creative energy,
• 42:12
  S15: and that is a part of yourself that can also
• 42:14
  S15: be depleted. The second one, I would probably say, is
• 42:17
  S15: the effect of our sensory environment on our level of fatigue.
• 42:21
  S15: So we don't sometimes think about the cluttered desk as
• 42:24
  S15: being as adding to our exhaustion, or the fact that
• 42:28
  S15: maybe you have background praised music playing all the time,
• 42:31
  S15: but that sensory input, your brain is constantly filtering, that
• 42:36
  S15: it's judging safe or unsafe. And so when it's constantly filtering,
• 42:40
  S15: it gets exhausted quicker. And so I think we need
• 42:43
  S15: to be aware of our environments. And I find a
• 42:46
  S15: lot of us don't even think about it or consider
• 42:49
  S15: the effect of our environment on our fatigue levels.
• 42:52
  S5: So it goes without saying that one of the biggest
• 42:54
  S5: culprits is these little phones that we have that are
• 42:58
  S5: just loaded with all kinds of distractions and ultimately mental fatigue.
• 43:02
  S5: What do you prescribe people that feel like I'm addicted
• 43:06
  S5: to a phone? How do we get off of that?
• 43:08
  S5: It's one thing to say, well, just set it down.
• 43:11
  S5: It's another thing to do it.
• 43:13
  S15: Yeah, getting off phone addiction is not like cigarettes. You
• 43:15
  S15: can't just say, well, just go cold turkey because most
• 43:18
  S15: of us need our phones for work and other things.
• 43:20
  S15: I think it's a matter of setting up some healthy
• 43:23
  S15: boundaries and parameters around use. So not using it in
• 43:27
  S15: the bed, having certain time periods where you where you
• 43:30
  S15: do function without your phone turning off the notifications. I
• 43:34
  S15: find it's been extremely effective for people. We don't need
• 43:37
  S15: all of that constant input. And so just turn the
• 43:41
  S15: notifications off. You can still keep the phone, keep the apps,
• 43:44
  S15: but you get to choose when you engage with them
• 43:47
  S15: rather than letting them just push you stress when they desire.
• 43:51
  S5: Sacred rest is the title of your book. Is rest Holy.
• 43:55
  S5: I think there's some people that feel like to run
• 43:59
  S5: almost feels unrighteous, unholy. We've been programmed that we've got
• 44:05
  S5: to go, go go go go. What do you say?
• 44:08
  S15: Yeah, I that's I feel like that is the enemy's,
• 44:12
  S15: um way of pulling us from God's plan. Yes. Because
• 44:16
  S15: rest was really a foundational. You know, one of the
• 44:18
  S15: things that really drew me to the concept of rest
• 44:22
  S15: and an appreciation for it was just based on the
• 44:25
  S15: creation story, because we always say on the seventh day,
• 44:28
  S15: God rested, but the Bible says God never slumbers or sleeps,
• 44:31
  S15: so God doesn't need rest. He's not tired. And so
• 44:34
  S15: what was rest about? Rest was really an opportunity for
• 44:38
  S15: us to be positioned with God before being sent out
• 44:41
  S15: for the work mankind created. On the sixth day, seventh
• 44:45
  S15: day we rested. Then after that, the next chapter, we
• 44:48
  S15: start seeing mankind doing work. Rest is the place where
• 44:51
  S15: we get empowered to do what God has sent us
• 44:54
  S15: out to do. And now we have kind of twisted
• 44:57
  S15: it so that it's the thing we do after the
• 44:59
  S15: work is done, which really means we're doing the work
• 45:02
  S15: in our own strength.
• 45:03
  S5: Boom. Nailed it. Okay. Some of you are like, I
• 45:06
  S5: want to find out more. Doctor Dalton Smith has written
• 45:09
  S5: Sacred Rest, recover your life, renew your energy, restore your sanity.
• 45:14
  S5: And some of you are saying that's me takes the
• 45:17
  S5: word rest to 805 five, five, 78, 981 word to
• 45:23
  S5: 805 557898.
• 45:27
  S1: A basketball mom who's mastered the dad joke. Ali is
• 45:32
  S1: in the crew. It's Carl and crew on Moody Radio.
• 45:36
  S5: I saw that 75% CTE number yesterday and I'm like, whoa, whoa.
• 45:41
  S3: That's a scary number.
• 45:42
  S5: That is a high number.
• 45:44
  S3: Yeah, it really is.
• 45:46
  S5: Who contact sports can be tough. Okay. Speaking of contact sports,
• 45:51
  S5: we got a near one right now.
• 45:53
  S3: Speaking of contact sports.
• 45:54
  S5: We bump into Young Thunder's cup. It's bottom of the
• 45:58
  S5: 830 central time. Close enough anyway. And so it's time
• 46:02
  S5: for this one right here.
• 46:05
  S1: Finding nuggets of truth in everyday life.
• 46:08
  S16: It's a metaphor. It's just a metaphor, dude.
• 46:10
  S17: That's a metaphor.
• 46:11
  S16: It's a metaphor. I know it's a metaphor.
• 46:14
  S1: It's time for. Make it a metaphor with young thunder.
• 46:19
  S10: We give him a story. He makes it a metaphor.
• 46:22
  S10: Really simple. But here's the thing you need to know.
• 46:25
  S10: He has no clue. So we've we've had the question.
• 46:27
  S10: Does he know what's coming? Never. Not even so much
• 46:31
  S10: of an inkling.
• 46:32
  S3: Unfortunately not.
• 46:32
  S5: That would be so tacky for us to say. All right,
• 46:35
  S5: here's the two stories we're going to tell on air tomorrow.
• 46:38
  S3: Yeah, that'd be crazy thinking about it.
• 46:39
  S10: No. Heads up. He hears the story when you do.
• 46:43
  S10: So I emceed Founders Week last week.
• 46:46
  S5: Yes you did. Which did a great job.
• 46:48
  S10: Thank you. It was so much fun. And so there's
• 46:51
  S10: so much work that the team puts in behind the
• 46:54
  S10: scenes to get ready for this. So the emcee job,
• 46:57
  S10: they make it so easy for me because everything is
• 47:00
  S10: mapped out. So I'll give you a little behind the scenes.
• 47:03
  S10: So I get there maybe an hour, hour and a
• 47:06
  S10: half before the actual event starts, and they hand me
• 47:09
  S10: a set of cards that I am to read from.
• 47:13
  S10: So I get like the whole script and I get
• 47:16
  S10: these half cards. I said, make the font big because
• 47:18
  S10: my eyes are not as good as they used to be.
• 47:21
  S10: And so I literally have the whole night mapped out
• 47:24
  S10: in front of me. So night one, you know, you
• 47:26
  S10: have to try to balance. If you've ever done this,
• 47:28
  S10: you're standing up in front of a lot of people,
• 47:30
  S10: you've got cards to read, but you don't want to
• 47:32
  S10: just be reading from it. You want to be making
• 47:34
  S10: eye contact, right? So night one goes well, but I
• 47:37
  S10: hear someone says, you know, that all of that information
• 47:41
  S10: that you're reading on the cards is actually up on
• 47:43
  S10: the screens. So it might be easier for you to
• 47:46
  S10: look up at the courtesy screens those TV screens up
• 47:50
  S10: on the wall, and then you can just be able
• 47:52
  S10: to read it from there.
• 47:54
  S5: Oh my word.
• 47:54
  S10: So I said, oh that's great. Can you have that
• 47:58
  S10: for me tomorrow night? No problem. So the next night comes.
• 48:03
  S10: I still go with my cards. I have them down,
• 48:05
  S10: but I'm like, I'm gonna read from these screens. So
• 48:09
  S10: I get out there and I do my introduction, which
• 48:11
  S10: I just do spontaneously because I know my own name
• 48:14
  S10: and a little bit about myself. And then it gets
• 48:16
  S10: to the prepared parts, and I see on the screen
• 48:19
  S10: that there's only about 1 or 2 lines at a
• 48:23
  S10: time before they advance it. So I start with the screen,
• 48:29
  S10: but then I quickly have this moment of panic. I
• 48:31
  S10: can't see what's coming. And although the person is keeping
• 48:35
  S10: up with me, it's making me feel very anxious.
• 48:38
  S5: That would have been too much for me. It's like
• 48:40
  S5: a teleprompter, but you've never done.
• 48:42
  S10: It the end of a sentence and have to wait.
• 48:44
  S10: And so I'm kind of the for the first 30s,
• 48:47
  S10: I'm not even going to tell you one night, but
• 48:49
  S10: if you watch closely, you could tell I was a
• 48:51
  S10: little bit more nervous because I'm trying to go back
• 48:53
  S10: and forth between the cards in front of me, which
• 48:56
  S10: I have it all scripted out, and the screen, which,
• 48:59
  S10: although I can make better eye contact, I only get
• 49:02
  S10: two lines at a time. And so after about 30s
• 49:06
  S10: to a minute of trying to do that, I said
• 49:08
  S10: in my mind I thought, I'm not doing this. I'm
• 49:10
  S10: going back to my cards. I need to see what's coming.
• 49:15
  S10: So I said, forget those screens. This was all happening
• 49:18
  S10: in real time in my mind. Forget the screens. This
• 49:20
  S10: is messing me up. I'm going back to the cards.
• 49:22
  S10: There was something so jarring to me of being standing,
• 49:26
  S10: standing up there, having all those people looking at me,
• 49:29
  S10: all those lights and not being able to see fully
• 49:31
  S10: what was coming. Jonathan, make it a metaphor.
• 49:34
  S3: Okay. Goodness, that this is a difficult one. I would
• 49:37
  S3: say probably the most difficult one that I've heard. However,
• 49:40
  S3: I've got some places I can go with it. So
• 49:43
  S3: let's talk through it a little bit. Uh, Ali, this
• 49:46
  S3: the the way I'm going, I in no way intend
• 49:48
  S3: to say that you did the wrong thing or you
• 49:50
  S3: should have done something different.
• 49:52
  S5: A disclaimer on his metaphor.
• 49:54
  S3: It has no comment on the decision that you made.
• 49:56
  S3: I completely understand because seeing things from a greater vantage
• 49:59
  S3: point is, is really beneficial. However, sometimes in life, we're
• 50:03
  S3: not offered the chance to have a greater vantage point. Uh,
• 50:08
  S3: we have to trust that the person who's directing the screen,
• 50:14
  S3: in this case, a spiritual reality, is the Lord who
• 50:16
  S3: has the greater vantage point, knows exactly where things are
• 50:19
  S3: going to go, and is going to direct you in
• 50:22
  S3: the way that you should go. And you kind of
• 50:24
  S3: have to trust and move along. I thought about Gideon. Uh,
• 50:28
  S3: you know, Gideon is a judge. And in the book
• 50:31
  S3: of judges, he he is getting ready for a great battle.
• 50:35
  S3: And he's got tens of thousands of people in this
• 50:38
  S3: army that he's getting ready to lead against a warring nation.
• 50:42
  S10: Right.
• 50:43
  S3: And he's prepared. There's a good thing about being prepared, however,
• 50:47
  S3: God calls him to lessen his vantage point by dwindling
• 50:51
  S3: down the amount of people he has in his army
• 50:53
  S3: until he's only had 300 people. I mean, of course,
• 50:56
  S3: you're never going to walk into a battle with another
• 50:57
  S3: country with only 300 soldiers. However, God called him to
• 51:00
  S3: do that. The vantage point was very limited for Gideon.
• 51:04
  S3: Yet he knew, although he could prepare to a certain extent,
• 51:08
  S3: trusting in the Lord was the only way he was
• 51:11
  S3: going to get through it. And that's kind of what
• 51:12
  S3: we have to do. Our vantage point is limited trust
• 51:15
  S3: in the one who has the full, clear view.
• 51:17
  S5: So the upside for Ali is if this would have
• 51:21
  S5: been God running the teleprompter, she would have hung with it.
• 51:24
  S3: Absolutely.
• 51:24
  S5: And she could know this guy up there.
• 51:26
  S3: Well, I was going to say at this time, she's
• 51:27
  S3: got someone imperfect with the vantage point. God's perfect with
• 51:30
  S3: the vantage point.
• 51:31
  S10: To be fair, he did a fantastic job.
• 51:33
  S3: Oh yeah.
• 51:34
  S5: I was disclaimer there he did.
• 51:36
  S10: I was just like, this is too. I need to
• 51:38
  S10: see more. I need the full picture. Great metaphor. Jonathan. Great.
• 51:41
  S10: Great metaphor, I love that.
• 51:42
  S5: Great work, my man.
