Transcript
- 0:01Hello folks, this is Princess. You are listening to the
- 0:04Millennial Mustard Seed podcast. Thanks for listening.
- 0:07Don't forget to share with your friends.
- 0:11That's tough. We're in a very tough spot.
- 0:14I think that what we're doing right now is a great benefit and
- 0:18virtue because it's an end around between this whole
- 0:21corrupt informational system, media system.
- 0:25We claim to believe in a God who spoke the universe into
- 0:28existence and literally raised himself from the dead, and yet
- 0:33we are not going to believe that anything else exists in the
- 0:36spirit realm, even though His word tells us that they do.
- 0:40Their bodies weren't permitted to go to sleep like humans do,
- 0:44and they weren't permitted to go to heaven, so they wander the
- 0:48earth. You know, I've seen the eyes
- 0:50turn black to unknown tongues being spoken.
- 0:55These giants would love way up in the Highland.
- 0:58The young Braves, the young men would hide up in the trees.
- 1:01They'd wait for one of these 12 footers to come walking down the
- 1:03bath and they would jump on them and kill them, drag them back to
- 1:07the village, and the village would feast on the body freedom.
- 1:15Then people start to get weapons, they start to get
- 1:17armor, they start to build cities.
- 1:18They start to fortify their cities.
- 1:20Now God looks down and there's violence everywhere.
- 1:24The battle, this war that we are at is not against each other.
- 1:28It's against these principalities and these rulers
- 1:30and these archons in the high places.
- 1:33It's really worthwhile to read the Bible yourself.
- 1:36Fear. Is one of the primary drivers of
- 1:38mind control because we have to take every thought captive and
- 1:43resist fear. You're going to have a testimony
- 1:49that is a justice case against the Kingdom of darkness.
- 2:17Welcome back to the millennial Mustard Seed.
- 2:19I'm your host, Rod. Thank you for being here with me
- 2:22for another awesome episode. And this episode is awesome
- 2:26indeed. I'm joined by Aaron Christian
- 2:29Davis. We have a really great
- 2:31conversation kind of going back and forth on topics that are
- 2:36very relevant. Aaron kind of works behind the
- 2:39scenes with me in certain ways, helping here with the podcast.
- 2:43I guess you could call him a producer.
- 2:45He prays and joins us for the Thursday prayer calls.
- 2:48He's becoming a close friend of mine.
- 2:51And the fascinating thing about what Aaron is going to be
- 2:55sharing tonight is some of his past military perspectives on
- 3:00current things happening. And we talk about a video in
- 3:03particular by Linkin Park that was shot, I don't know, 16 years
- 3:08ago when some of the beyond the idiosyncrasies of what's going
- 3:12on there, the imagery and they're, they're clearly
- 3:15conveying a message. But beyond all that, you guys
- 3:17have a lot to look forward to, as in some fringe connections
- 3:20that are made. But this is also a heartfelt
- 3:22story where he shares a bit of his testimony, how he became the
- 3:25man that he is today and what God has him doing.
- 3:28He's also the owner of Kingdom Construction, which is amazing
- 3:34because I love everything Kingdom.
- 3:37So local business owner, retired military and heartfelt story.
- 3:41And he's a really sharp and a smart guy.
- 3:43So I'm excited for you guys to get familiar with Aaron as he
- 3:46has been partnering and helping behind the scenes here on the
- 3:49podcast. I'm going to keep this

- 4:33behind the scenes and God is really working and opening doors

- 4:40to encourage everybody listening to keep your faith.

- 5:01jump into this episode. I'm ready.
- 5:04Are you guys ready? Let's go.
- 5:21My name is Aaron Davis. I am a veteran of the United
- 5:25States Air Force, a construction owner of Kingdom Building
- 5:29Construction. I am a fellow conspiracy realist
- 5:32and investigator and researcher, and I welcome you to listen to
- 5:37Rod and the Millennial Mustard Sea.
- 5:45Brother Aaron, it's an honor to be here with you, man.
- 5:48Just want to say how thankful I am for just your encouragement
- 5:51and your voice and support with stuff behind the scenes.
- 5:54And it's an honor to get you familiar with the audience here
- 5:57on this this kind of introduction and and timely
- 6:00episode. Welcome.
- 6:02Thank you. Glad to be here man.
- 6:05Let's lay a little bit of a foundation with who you are as a
- 6:08man and, and what you do. There's a lot going on today.
- 6:11I think a lot of comments on the status of things in this world.
- 6:15But you know, you put your time in right now.
- 6:18You're currently, you own a small business, right?
- 6:21These are all the things we love here on the podcast.
- 6:23People that volunteer to lay down their lives, man, to serve
- 6:26this country, people who are operating small business, making
- 6:29a impact locally. But I'm going to not try to
- 6:32stumble through this. I'm just going to give you the
- 6:34mic, man. Tell us a little bit about
- 6:35yourself, who you are. What do you do?
- 6:37Yeah, we'll go from there. Well, I mean, I love reaching
- 6:41out to people that are a lot more intelligent than I am
- 6:44humbly I, I reach out to people that have done the research and
- 6:48done the hours. You know, I, I reached a, a dark
- 6:51point in my life couple years ago and it really led me to God.
- 6:55I thought I was saved. And you know, maybe I was, maybe
- 6:58I wasn't, but I, I, I certainly was lukewarm.
- 7:01And you know, I felt very convicted about that.
- 7:04I've been a, a Christian name only pretty much my entire life,
- 7:10you know, talk to talk. Didn't really walk the walk.
- 7:13I moved down here from Columbus, OH to Wilmington, NC just to try
- 7:19to seek peace. I know we've talked like, you
- 7:21know, off air about like, you know, some family and
- 7:23generational curses, specifically Freemasonry, and
- 7:29just got to a point in my life where like, I had to just get
- 7:31away from it and kind of leave it in the rear view, so to
- 7:34speak. When I first moved down here, I
- 7:36was by myself. My family didn't come until
- 7:40maybe like six months later, and it just happened to line up
- 7:43right around Easter time. And I remember just walking the
- 7:49beach and one of the things that really brought me down here, me
- 7:53and my cousins were looking at areas because we love the ocean.
- 7:57We came down to Wilmington back in 2020 and there was this
- 8:02little gear called Johnny Mercer's Pier.
- 8:05And I felt the Holy Spirit there.
- 8:09You can actually like Google Maps it, it's right there in
- 8:13Wrightsville Beach. And there's these, this group of
- 8:16people that literally go every single morning at 7:00 in the
- 8:20morning and they, they do worship music.
- 8:23And then they have like maybe 10-15 minutes of just praying
- 8:28together. And then like going through like
- 8:29a specific, you know, word and talking about it, doing kind of
- 8:34a round table discussion kind of thing.
- 8:37It's called Scriptures in the sand.
- 8:39And there's like these just huge letters that every single day
- 8:44they, they spend hours, they come all the way from Carolina
- 8:46Beach, which is like a 30 minute drive.
- 8:49And they build these, I call them sandcastles in the sand.
- 8:52It's the easiest way to describe it, but it's just these huge
- 8:55letters that are probably 4 feet in length and like 3 feet in
- 8:59width and sit about two feet high.
- 9:01And I remember coming and visiting and I'm just like, this
- 9:05is where we need to be like this.
- 9:07This is home. And on a lark, you know, I, I
- 9:11just kind of made the decision and up and up and left and, you
- 9:17know, as I was like, you know, kind of unpacking everything at
- 9:19my apartment. It was Easter and I was alone
- 9:24and I, I'd watch the passion of Christ and I remember just
- 9:29breaking down and I just felt that conviction like, you know,
- 9:34I'm not doing enough at all, you know, and it, it just kind of
- 9:40set my, my spirit on fire. And ever since then I, I've
- 9:44really just been seeking others that, like I said, are a lot
- 9:48wiser than I am, have a lot more experience.
- 9:51I, I did develop a, a huge desire to kind of study, you
- 9:56know, the, the word in like the original languages, Hebrew,
- 10:00Greek, Latin, It just kind of makes the, the word come alive.
- 10:04I think the last episode that you had, it was either Dave or
- 10:09Enoch that said the Bible is just a book with words.
- 10:14It doesn't come a life unless you study it and you pray over
- 10:17it and you really seek Jesus. And one of my biggest fears as a
- 10:23Christian is that day that you meet Jesus and he looks at you
- 10:30and he says, I cast you out. You know, you're lukewarm.
- 10:34You know, I really just fear the Lord, right?
- 10:38And it, it's honestly what keeps me going every single day.
- 10:41And it's just like I, I want him to say, you know, well done,
- 10:45good and faithful servant. And that's why I'm so grateful I
- 10:48reached out to you because there's so much controversy, you
- 10:55know, whether it be Flat Earth or heliocentric model or pre
- 11:00wrath rapture, pre tribulation, mid Trib, post Trib, you know, I
- 11:04subscribe just personally more towards like, you know that the
- 11:07pre tribulation not to be like an escapist or anything like
- 11:11that, because that is not my spirit.
- 11:12You know, I pray for the spirit of Elijah, you know, David all
- 11:16the time. I want to get in the fight, but
- 11:19I reached out to you because you would had somebody on.
- 11:22And obviously there's a lot of people that have different
- 11:26theologies regarding this. And what I'm fearful of is that
- 11:32the enemy kind of uses all these different platforms and
- 11:36theologies and stuff to kind of confuse us and get us to
- 11:38infight. You know, he's done it since the
- 11:40beginning. He's turned man against man,
- 11:43brother against brother, Kan against Kan against Abel, like
- 11:45from the very beginning, man against wife Eve versus Adam,
- 11:49you know, like that's how the enemy works.
- 11:51And like that's honestly my biggest passion.
- 11:53You know, we talk off air and stuff and it's just like, you
- 11:55know, I like to study my enemies and at the end of the day, I
- 11:59like to study my ultimate enemy, our ultimate enemy, you know,
- 12:04and not get lost in that. You know, obviously like worship
- 12:08and like, you know, have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
- 12:11That's the most important thing because at the end of the day,
- 12:14even if we know the plans, I mean God's sovereign, you know,
- 12:17he takes care of it. But I do think that he uses the
- 12:20church, the body to come together and kind of rise up.
- 12:23You see it all throughout history.
- 12:25You know, he uses not special people to basically rise up and
- 12:31do special things. So I don't know if I covered all
- 12:36of the questions there. You might have to repeat another
- 12:39one. You mentioned in the intro, you
- 12:42know, you served in the US Air Force.
- 12:45It opens up a bunch of things for me where, you know, I'm
- 12:48seeing where you're at and getting to know you on a
- 12:51personal level. You know, we talk outside of of
- 12:54the podcasting world and there's a lot of veterans who do not
- 12:58have a home that are battling for their very lives.
- 13:01We see suicide rates that are through the roof for veterans.
- 13:04So when I see somebody who served and they're like, they're
- 13:07setting up and they're doing well, I'm like, man, that's
- 13:10actually that's kind of rare. We were talking about this
- 13:14earlier on the phone, actually a guy, Mike Alphonse, who was the
- 13:18recruiter in the area in Montgomery County, PA, right
- 13:21outside of Philly where I grew up all those years ago.
- 13:23He was like one of the well known recruiters around here and
- 13:26was friends with my older sisters.
- 13:28Everybody know him. He just got killed a few months
- 13:30ago in a road. It was a road rage incident
- 13:34where somebody shot and killed him out of road.
- 13:36And I'm just, I don't know, I mean, from the micro scale to
- 13:38the macro scale, I'm just seeing the wildness of it.
- 13:41And I think, man, if I ever have a say in it, there's so many
- 13:45groups of people that are just forgotten and thrown to the
- 13:49wayside. So I see you doing good.
- 13:51I'm like, man, you served you, you did something with it.
- 13:55But there's not a lot of other people that have that have that
- 13:59outlook or have that, that situation.
- 14:01I mean, it's, it's unbelievable. I don't want to go in too deep
- 14:04of rant, but you know, talk a little bit about, you know, your
- 14:07time in the service to what kind of encouragement do you have for
- 14:10people that are active duty right now?
- 14:13Let's just kind of start there. I I'd feel LED that that's
- 14:16important. Well, I grew up one of those
- 14:19really, really cocky kids. I was always really, really good
- 14:23at sports. I got like a full ride
- 14:24scholarship to Eastern Kentucky playing football and thought I
- 14:30was going to, you know, GoPro and freshman year tore my ACL
- 14:35sophomore year tore my, my labrum and fractured my clavicle
- 14:40on my shoulder. And I, I basically just got sick
- 14:43of being hurt all the time. My uncle, who honestly is like a
- 14:46dad to me. We can kind of dive into that,
- 14:50you know, at a later point, But I, I'm very blessed to have seen
- 14:58what it's like to be like a bad father and a bad husband and be
- 15:03blessed enough to like be able to compare and contrast with my,
- 15:06my uncle, Uncle Tom shout out, you know, if you listen to this,
- 15:10he's always been my brother in Christ.
- 15:12He's a holistic Dr. He does chiropractic.
- 15:16He owns his own gym. Since I was a little kid,
- 15:19honestly, I used to get embarrassed about it because
- 15:22every time I had friends over, he'd he would like pull him off
- 15:25to the side and be like, hey, fewer die today.
- 15:29Like would you go to heaven or hell?
- 15:30And it's just like Uncle Tom, stop it.
- 15:33Like, what are you doing? Like, you know, like, not cool.
- 15:36And go, Uncle Tom. Then like there was a during
- 15:42that time that I was recovering, like, you know, he was taking
- 15:44care of me and stuff. And, you know, I had lived with
- 15:47him and, you know, he had a conversation with me about like,
- 15:50you know, charging me rent. And I just remember being like
- 15:53super offended, like you do really well for yourself, Like
- 15:56why are you going to charge me? He's like, you got to get a job.
- 15:58There's stipulations to live with me.
- 16:00You got to you got to get a job. You got to keep a a nice clean
- 16:05room. You got to pick up after
- 16:06yourself. We have to have study sessions
- 16:08in the Bible. And then you have to go to
- 16:10church with me every single Sunday.
- 16:12And I'm like, what is with this? This is like a tyrant here, you
- 16:16know, and he, he just pulled me off to the side and was just
- 16:22like, hey, you know, what, if I let you live here, there's not
- 16:24going to be a life lesson if you don't go to church.
- 16:27I'm not doing my duty. And he explained to me all the
- 16:30time, he's like, you know, even in my job, you know, I lose a
- 16:33lot of customers, you know, at his chiropractor office.
- 16:36And he's like, I will never, ever seize an opportunity to
- 16:40present the gospel message to anybody and everybody.
- 16:43Everybody that comes into my door, I'll present it to him.
- 16:46I've had people literally walk out.
- 16:48But it it's touched so many lives.
- 16:50And it's not about me. It's not glory to me.
- 16:52It's literally like, that's what we are called to do.
- 16:56No pun intended. We are meant to plant seeds.
- 17:00A mustard seed can move a mountain.
- 17:04Yeah. I mean, I that's really all
- 17:05we're called to do, you know? But he's always been my my
- 17:08spiritual brother, you know, even to this day.
- 17:11And he was actually the one that when I was going through these
- 17:16these tough times and recovering, he had met my aunt
- 17:19Barb in the Army. He was just like, I think that
- 17:23you should join the service. And I'm like, I'm not joining
- 17:26the service. And he's just like, I really
- 17:28think you should. You think you got life figured
- 17:30out. You really don't, you know,
- 17:32you're not going to GoPro your injury prone now.
- 17:35It's just not going to happen. You don't know what you're
- 17:36doing. Just go.
- 17:39So I literally just, I went to the recruiting office that's
- 17:42literally right next door to his chiropractic office and met with
- 17:46the recruiter and I was just like, OK, let's go.
- 17:48I took the ASVAB. They told me I could get any job
- 17:51that I wanted to. I was supposed to be space
- 17:53systems operations. And maybe like a week before I
- 17:57was supposed to ship out the basic.
- 17:58They call me in and they're like, oh, I don't know what
- 18:01happened. The paperwork got mixed up.
- 18:03You got your number 2. And I'm like, what's my #2
- 18:06They're like civil engineering. And I'm like, OK, I'll go.
- 18:13So having a construction background, working for my dad,
- 18:16who was also a contractor, it's just like, OK, that's easy.
- 18:19So I joined and honestly, it just kind of built a lot of
- 18:23character. It kind of gave me a glimpse
- 18:27behind the curtain, which is why I speak so passionately about
- 18:30it. Now, I know I had told you
- 18:32about, you know, an episode that happened when I was at McConnell
- 18:36Air Force Base. There was an airman that just
- 18:38kind of went off on a like a tangent for like 2 hours.
- 18:42He was talking to somebody else. He just kept going off about his
- 18:45atheistic, you know, worldview and just bashing Jesus and
- 18:49Christians and stuff. And I'm sitting there and like,
- 18:51my blood is just like beginning to boil and boil and boil and
- 18:54like finally got to a point where I'm like, OK enough,
- 19:00enough. And then like I started
- 19:01defending Jesus and the faith and stuff.
- 19:03And I literally got yanked by my, my NCO and I got
- 19:08reprimanded. They gave me a, an LOR.
- 19:11They're like, you can't talk about faith and God and Jesus.
- 19:14And I'm just like, but you let him go off on his atheism and
- 19:19stuff and nobody said anything. And I just remember running into
- 19:22that so many times and I'm just like, man, I tell you what, like
- 19:28seriously. And like it being a service
- 19:29member, like I didn't do squat compared to all the other people
- 19:32that have PTSD and like, you know, fought battles overseas
- 19:36and stuff. And like, my heart and goes out
- 19:39to them. They, they got left behind.
- 19:41And like, honestly, I've got certain views on that.
- 19:44It's almost like, you know, we talked about Babylon, you know,
- 19:48we are the world's superpower. It's just like, do you really
- 19:51think Satan would be loyal to his servants or do you think he
- 19:55turned back on them? You know, we could talk about
- 19:57Enoch as far as, like, you know, the black and the white
- 19:59Freemasons. So.
- 20:04I think the last thing I'll ask you before we kind of get fringe
- 20:08because we, we, we have some stuff to talk about.
- 20:11I do. I just want to ask, how did you
- 20:13find the podcast? Refresh me.
- 20:15And for the listener's sake, and hopefully this encourages
- 20:17somebody out there listening that, you know, I'm not too far
- 20:21out of reach. Oh no.
- 20:23I'm, I'm accessible to to an extent, I'm here for the body of
- 20:27Christ. I believe that God is bringing
- 20:29the right people in to build a ministry out of what he's given.
- 20:34How has it encouraged you also let let's just cover those two
- 20:37real quick and then and then we're going to get fringe.
- 20:40Yeah. I'm going to get excited about
- 20:41this one. You know how excited I got with
- 20:43that round table the other night.
- 20:45So honestly, what I think one of the most important things is
- 20:48community and especially knowing the things that we know, doing
- 20:52our research and studying the Bible on the Word and coming
- 20:55together and bouncing ideas off each other and just like kind of
- 20:58relying on the Spirit. That's something that I haven't
- 21:01had. And I want to say words of
- 21:04encouragement for anybody. Like I've been there, I've done
- 21:06that. I got married about 3 years ago
- 21:09and things did not go well. It was a very, very rough start.
- 21:15We got separated after a short period of time and I turned to
- 21:20the bottle. I was alone.
- 21:22I quit my job, stopped working, lost desire.
- 21:26I found a little bit of peace here and there watching like my
- 21:28little YouTube fishing and, you know, hunting shows and stuff.
- 21:32And I stumbled across a a video with prophecy watchers.
- 21:36I thought to myself, like, you know, that looks interesting.
- 21:38I'll, I'll give it a listen. Yeah, I I just felt the spirit
- 21:42kind of, you know, lift up and me and watched another one and
- 21:46another one and another one. And then that led me to sky
- 21:49watch TV, which led me to, I want to say maybe blurry
- 21:54creatures or something like that.
- 21:56And then that led me to just a variety of different podcasts
- 22:00and stuff. Ultimately, I think I ran into
- 22:05youth via Canary Cry radio, I think.
- 22:11Yeah, but I remember thinking like when I heard your voice,
- 22:15it's just like this is Casey Kasem.
- 22:17He's got a voice for radio. We talked about that the other
- 22:19night. It's just like, man, like I just
- 22:22the way that you interview and like very similar people, you
- 22:25know, like Doctor Laura Sanger. I love Enoch.
- 22:29You know, Dave, just a bunch of people that you've had on I'm
- 22:32very familiar with. Obviously you had Mondo or
- 22:35Monzo, right? Yeah, yeah, that Doctor Monzo.
- 22:39Yeah, Doctor Monzo and then guns and it's just like, Oh my gosh.
- 22:44And like just LA Marzulli. And it's just like man, like
- 22:48this guy like just gets like the way that he interviews people
- 22:52too. And like, you know, I'm very
- 22:54impressed and like the, the questions that you ask and the
- 22:57fact that you give guests like, you know, time to kind of speak
- 23:00and like, it's just everything seems like spirit LED And like,
- 23:05that's the biggest thing to me because I, I did come from an
- 23:07area where like, I got really, really into politics and I
- 23:11followed the Reawaken America tour and just like, I got very,
- 23:14very political. I'm, I'm a conservative
- 23:16Christian and started getting really deep into that whole path
- 23:21and just, it made me angry all the time.
- 23:25And like, I think that's the goal, you know, it, it, it's
- 23:28just to divide people and just create hate.
- 23:30You know, you find yourself hating people from the other
- 23:33side and stuff. And it's just like it, it was
- 23:36literally torturing me. I remember going to a Reawaken
- 23:40America event tour down in South Carolina and Myrtle Beach and
- 23:44they had like a so-called profit come out and start making all
- 23:48these predictions. And I just remember thinking to
- 23:49myself, I'm like, huh. Then I got into the whole Truth
- 23:55Social cue thing, and I just remember thinking, like,
- 23:59something doesn't seem right about this.
- 24:01And then it's just like, you know, Trump talking about like,
- 24:04you know, the storm is coming. I am the storm.
- 24:06And I'm like, interesting. Pretty sure that was Jesus who
- 24:13stops the storm. The storm's coming.
- 24:14I am the storm. Yeah.
- 24:16So this this kind of seems we know that, you know, the enemy
- 24:21doesn't come up with anything new and that he basically mocks
- 24:23Jesus and the truth. I remember just talking to a
- 24:27couple friends because I hang out with mostly conservative
- 24:30Christian friends. You know, I can't stand abortion
- 24:32and things like this, you know, sacrifice to Molech.
- 24:36I got to be honest, man, every single time I see one of these
- 24:39political commercials talking about like, you know, women's
- 24:41rights and you know, you can do this and do that, it's just like
- 24:44my heart literally just aches and grieves led to your podcast.
- 24:49I reached out to you because you had somebody on that, again, had
- 24:52like a different theology, you know, on tribulation, again, I
- 24:57just think it's one of those things that's meant to be
- 24:59divisive. You know, I hear a lot of people
- 25:01arguing about it. I see a lot of the Internet
- 25:04opens up basically the worst in people and you see a lot of
- 25:08these comments and there's just so much hate.
- 25:10It's just like, how can you possibly think that you're
- 25:13wrong? Oh, that's Darby and you're
- 25:15following doctrines of demons and stuff and it's just like,
- 25:19all right, everybody relax. You know, it doesn't matter at
- 25:22the end of the day. I, I do take a proper mentality.
- 25:24I, I plan on keeping my hand on the plow as long as possible
- 25:28until Jesus comes. But I do believe in the blessed
- 25:32hope, you know, So that's just, that's my theology.
- 25:36That's my belief. And if I'm wrong, doesn't mean
- 25:38that I'm going to lose faith in Jesus.
- 25:41If we need to go through things because we're all fallen by
- 25:43nature. I sin every single day.
- 25:45It is what it is. I'm not worthy.
- 25:47The fact that he died for US, stepped out of heaven and died
- 25:50for our sins, that's enough for me.
- 25:52Whatever I have to go through, that's fine.
- 25:54Look at what happened to the Saints, you know, all the
- 25:57apostles of Jesus. It's not like they all got out.
- 26:01You know what we had Enoch, you know, he walked with God and
- 26:06there's no death there. You know, like, I mean, like
- 26:10what else? Who all has been saved?
- 26:12You. Know there's only.
- 26:14Yeah, there's a couple. Yeah.
- 26:17Yeah, that's. So you see, this is what I love
- 26:20that Doctor Chuck Missler did and and I'm no way in
- 26:22comparison. Oh my gosh, far stretch.
- 26:25But I try to cover all these different chasms so that people
- 26:29they don't feel like shoving information down people's
- 26:31throats. Like take this view, right.
- 26:33So it's almost reactionary. Here's the information, right?
- 26:37And if somebody with a sound mind, by the power of the
- 26:39Spirit, not of my own, can process through this
- 26:42information, hear different sides of the story and not get
- 26:45all crazy about it, but really in a mellow kind of prayerful
- 26:49mentality, you go, OK, I hear you.
- 26:51I see where you're at. Now.
- 26:52Let me take this back to the Word.
- 26:54Let me take this back to my relationship with God.
- 26:56I'm hoping people see a lot more on this podcast than the
- 26:59feedback that I get because there's intentional things and
- 27:02then there's other things where I'm like, whoop, that was a
- 27:04mistake. But you know, do you think that
- 27:07covering kind of a wider chasm, but keeping Christ centered view
- 27:11really can help people to narrate their own thought
- 27:14process through these topics that are in difference at times?
- 27:19Absolutely. So I think the biggest thing to
- 27:21touch on that and like, I think the biggest thing that I love
- 27:24about your podcast is humility. Just having like, you know, kind
- 27:29of a roundtable talk with you guys and stuff on Thursday
- 27:31nights. Like I said, how excited I got
- 27:34about that. Just having that, you know, that
- 27:35camaraderie. Just the fact that like, you
- 27:38know, we approach things in humility.
- 27:40We don't say, hey, this is the right view.
- 27:43Like accept it. You know, it's just like we
- 27:45bounce ideas off of each other and it's almost like, you know,
- 27:49you said it perfectly. Not all of us are right about
- 27:53everything. I might be right about one
- 27:55thing. You might be right about a
- 27:56different thing. And like we all get together,
- 27:59you know, as Christ followers and we bounce those ideas off
- 28:02each other and then we pray about it in the Spirit.
- 28:05Take that time, go back to the Word and it's amazing.
- 28:08You can read something in the Word five years ago and then
- 28:13with all your experiences and conversations, you can go back
- 28:16to that and you can literally see it differently.
- 28:18That's the Bible coming to life, you know, and that's, I think
- 28:22the most important approach as Christians is you know what, be
- 28:27humble, be loving, don't be scared, you know, don't be
- 28:30afraid. You know, a lot of people fear
- 28:33the tribulation and the wrath of God.
- 28:35And you know what? It's healthy to have a fear of
- 28:38God. But you know what?
- 28:39As long as you, you know where you stand, I mean, you'll know.
- 28:43You will know. Like if you are following Christ
- 28:45and you're, you'll know. Yeah, So well said.
- 28:52Yeah, that that needs to be out in the airwaves.
- 28:55I always say sound minds need to be in the airwaves.
- 28:58And I don't believe in creating balance.
- 29:00I believe in being an ambassador for Christ.
- 29:03But there's so many other voices and it can be overwhelming.
- 29:06And a lot of people do testify in secret and say, you know,
- 29:09Rod, I love what you're doing and this and that.
- 29:11And then publicly, not so much. And I'm not offended.
- 29:14I'm just saying this is how we grow a community is the
- 29:17transparency, that honesty because we all have a little
- 29:20something wrong and we all have a little something right.
- 29:25And that's that's kind of the meat we should be chewing on as
- 29:29well as dwelling together in unity, right.
- 29:31When brothers dwell together in in a common mind and they're
- 29:34well to each other's pleasing to God.
- 29:37And so, yeah, I mean, I've heard so much stuff, Aaron, over the
- 29:39years where it's like there's I could have gotten freaked out,
- 29:42bugged out, lost my mind so many times.
- 29:44But there's this recipe where it's called pray.
- 29:47Like I have a personal relationship with the Lord.
- 29:49So I take it back to the Lord. And there's times where he's
- 29:52like green light. That's OK.
- 29:53Other times it's like, I didn't tell you to go there.
- 29:56Yeah, I'm. I'm dirt.
- 29:58How come you're mindful of me? Why are we even discussing this
- 30:01Lord? Like, are you going to, you
- 30:02know, like it's yeah. But I'm hoping there's other
- 30:06people out there that can really relate to what you're saying,
- 30:09you know, and your transparency. And that's important for me that
- 30:13a community gets built out of this.
- 30:14I'm not podcasting just because it's cool to podcast.
- 30:17You know, I'm doing this because I believe that God has good
- 30:21seed, good stock that is out there that have been crying out,
- 30:25lonely, disconnected, forced into fear tactics and limited
- 30:30views. And really the ekklesia, you
- 30:33know, in back in church days when they were followers of the
- 30:36way before Christianity, the derogatory statement that was
- 30:39given from Roman officials to this group of people, they were
- 30:43called followers of the way and they sat in a circle and not
- 30:47even a perfect circle, but they were facing each other and they
- 30:49were discussing, they were remembering these things.
- 30:53And, and even the Bible testifies and says that the Holy
- 30:55Spirit, the Ruach Hakodesh will remind you of all the things
- 30:59that are written on behalf of the Christ and like bouncing
- 31:03ideas, like, well, that's spirit inspired.
- 31:06So I think that this is the future of church, not
- 31:08necessarily through technology, not saying that it's not a good
- 31:13thing. I mean, it's a great thing that
- 31:15that podcasting has opened up these doors.
- 31:16And now I can see you see your face and hear your voice and,
- 31:19and, and there's going to be thousands of people out there.
- 31:21They're going to listen to this And and some of them encouraged,
- 31:25strengthened by it. That's amazing.
- 31:27But but, but my ultimate goal is to occupy in such a way where
- 31:31we'll get into this another time because, because don't get me
- 31:34all my passion. But, but I have, I have a vision
- 31:37called Kingdom Land Project. And it's going to take a lot of
- 31:41people, their physical presence, their effort, their prayer and
- 31:45community. And and we'll talk about that
- 31:48another time. But let's shift a gear.
- 31:51OK. You sent me a video earlier,
- 31:55Linkin Park. Now, if I remember correctly,
- 31:58it's called Shadow of the Day. This is like from like 1617
- 32:02years ago. And you were like, hey, man, do
- 32:04you remember Linkin Park? I'm like, yeah, yeah, I remember
- 32:06them. You said watch this video, it's
- 32:09really interesting and I'm like, and I'll say it one more time
- 32:12for the listeners, it's about 3 minutes long.
- 32:15You find it on YouTube, Shadow of the day official music video
- 32:19by Linkin Park. And the videography is very
- 32:24interesting to me. OK, now we haven't discussed
- 32:27this because you said, hey, I'm going to send it to you, check
- 32:29it out. We'll talk about it if you want.
- 32:31Here's my first take. I'm aware of pre programming,
- 32:33like like population programming, predictive program,
- 32:38you know, all of these different things and mind MK Ultra mind
- 32:41control. I mean, there's so many
- 32:42different avenues there, but let's just look at 16 years ago
- 32:46and the imagery. And in a nutshell, what I'm
- 32:49seeing through this video is, is this gentleman is preparing
- 32:53himself, right? He's he's waking up, he's
- 32:55shaving, he's getting dressed, you know, and he goes outside
- 32:59and it's just like war, right? There's like people being
- 33:02arrested and there's just lights everywhere and flashing and cop,
- 33:06not only there weren't cops, there were black suits that
- 33:09looked like in the video. And he's just walking down, you
- 33:12know, singing about the sun will rise for you.
- 33:14And there's this moment where he looks up at the clouds.
- 33:19And so like on the Days of Noah podcast and even on this show in
- 33:22the next few weeks, me and Pete recorded an episode about
- 33:26clouds, biblical relevancy with clouds, like how important that
- 33:29is. And, and, and all of these
- 33:31things are coming to mind. Dude, I could, I could probably
- 33:33tear at this thing for a good 20 minutes.
- 33:35I'm going to spare you guys all of my thoughts.
- 33:38And I'm getting this reflection that he knows some of these
- 33:42predictive programming things from a cultic perspective, from
- 33:45the music industry. And he's sworn to some level of
- 33:48secrecy. But he's trying to possibly
- 33:50artistically or even through his vocalization, paint a narrative
- 33:54from the position he stands at, right, which is kind of doom and
- 33:58gloomy. But then there's like this, this
- 33:59hope the sun will rise for you, right?
- 34:02And then he's kind of walking along and at the end of the
- 34:04video there's flames behind him and he's like standing and then
- 34:08turns and looks at the flames with what I know to see even the
- 34:12programming from 16 years ago in a music video from Linkin Park
- 34:16that I'm not going to say prophetic because prophecy for
- 34:20me is God says he speaks prophetically 4 different ways
- 34:25in the word. He speaks through Ephod in the
- 34:27Old Testament at times. He speaks whispering to the
- 34:31prophets. He speaks through vision and
- 34:33through dream. And I'm like, is this
- 34:36broadcasting a agenda that we are seeing unfold in the day
- 34:41that we actually live in like, like right now?
- 34:44And is he seems like broken and upset about it, Like he knows,
- 34:49but like can't really vocalize a greater hope that I mean, I
- 34:52don't know where he this guy is at personally in his heart, if
- 34:54he's accepted Christ or not. I mean, Prince, there was a
- 34:58Steve Quayle book found with, I believe it was Prince.
- 35:01Like we have no idea how far our reach goes.
- 35:04And in, you know, getting people to help them wake up and then
- 35:06come to the Lord Jesus. But before that, I mean, OK, I'm
- 35:12just going to hand it over to you at this point.
- 35:13What are your thoughts on this video?
- 35:15And this opens the door to another a whole bunch of crazy
- 35:19other ideas, but let's hear your thoughts on it.
- 35:22What I see in this video, I remember watching it back in my
- 35:27Oh my gosh, it was what, 2008, 2009 and I remember right after
- 35:32this video, I loved the song. You know, it's a beautiful song,
- 35:35but I watched the video and I'm thinking at the time like it
- 35:38didn't really make any sense. Here we are in 2008, 2009 and
- 35:42there's a video of, you know, him walking through the streets
- 35:45and basically you've got military like full-fledged riot
- 35:50gear, like going out and just shooting civilians and you've
- 35:53got civilians that are yelling, you know, we want freedom.
- 35:56And it's just like this doesn't really make any sense.
- 35:59You know, it doesn't really collaborate, so to speak.
- 36:03And I remember about 3 years ago or something, you know, after
- 36:07researching a bunch, I'd heard that song.
- 36:10It popped on my on my phone at work and I just, I just felt led
- 36:15to watch the video again. And I'm just thinking to myself
- 36:18like, Oh my goodness. So then I sent you that video
- 36:21earlier today of the people basically coming together and
- 36:25trying to collect a bunch of goods for all the people that
- 36:28lost their homes and lost everything out in Western North
- 36:30Carolina. And then you've got this
- 36:31helicopter that basically comes down and does a maneuver to
- 36:35basically scare all the people away and blow a bunch of this
- 36:38food, you know, supplies everything away.
- 36:41And all of a sudden it. Just doesn't appear.
- 36:43The video you sent me from Instagram was Samuel Fisher.
- 36:46What is going on here? Blackhawk helicopter in Western
- 36:50North Carolina is sabotaging volunteer supply zones.
- 36:54That's that's boots on the ground reporting right there
- 36:56too. We already know that FEMA has
- 36:59been turning a lot of people away.
- 37:01Unless, you know, you're a government approved
- 37:03organization. So you know, you get that tax
- 37:05write off that deal with the government.
- 37:07I know all about this stuff, yeah, just as far as supply
- 37:11chain and like the amount of money that, you know, we pay to,
- 37:14you know, the highest bidders and stuff like that.
- 37:17And you, you were in the Air Force.
- 37:18Like you would know this, right? Like the maneuver you you had
- 37:21mentioned on the phone earlier was to like draw people out or
- 37:24just scare people. It seems like the helicopter for
- 37:27people who obviously can't watch this or can't find the video,
- 37:30it's, it's a huge group of volunteers.
- 37:32They have tables set up, boxes, there's trucks, there's people
- 37:36canopies and tents, and there's an immense amount of supplies
- 37:39there. And this helicopter kind of like
- 37:42comes down and starts to lower and does this interesting little
- 37:45maneuver where it gets low enough, it starts blowing all of
- 37:49the stuff over and people kind of start to run and panic.
- 37:52And then the helicopter kind of lifts up a little bit like it's
- 37:56pulling away. Let's talk about that for a
- 37:57second. Yeah, that is a myth.
- 37:59Military maneuver to scare people out of tents and even
- 38:02caves. You know, loud noises, a lot of
- 38:05airflow that can get up to like, you know, 100 miles an hour
- 38:08easily. It'll blow everything over, as
- 38:10you saw in the video. Now, I, I don't want to say with
- 38:14certainty, you know, that that might have not been, you know, a
- 38:18pilot that was just, I don't know, freaking out or panicking.
- 38:22In my experience, they tend to be pretty well trained and
- 38:26something like that doesn't really happen.
- 38:27They would kind of, you know, prep the area and make sure that
- 38:30they have a secure landing zone. And whatever that mess was did
- 38:34not seem normal. But then again, the world does
- 38:36not seem normal right now. So we can go ahead and have our,
- 38:39you know, theories about these things.
- 38:41But yeah. Oh, as far as the video goes, I
- 38:46I didn't really tell you this. I wanted to save this for you.
- 38:48I have done my research. And I don't know if you know
- 38:50anything about John Podesta. Just enough that it's, yeah.
- 38:55Yeah, not a good person. No, yeah.
- 38:58Not at all. No.
- 39:00He's involved in the Obama administration, the Clinton
- 39:03Foundation, the Biden administration, He's been a
- 39:08documented pedophile, still has a place in government is
- 39:12basically one of the the higher end people for the by Biden
- 39:16administration. Now, there's a lot of proof and
- 39:21evidence to support the fact that Chester Bennington, who was
- 39:26the lead senior of Lincoln Park, was the the bastard son of John
- 39:31Podesta. Interesting.
- 39:35And like you said, artistically, artistically, I think that that
- 39:43video was meant to try to create a message or a warning.
- 39:48And you see that video, and I've watched it over and over again,
- 39:51but you can see the pain in his eyes.
- 39:53It's almost like he knows something.
- 39:55Not from a perfect standpoint. I was feeling too.
- 39:58Like. Yeah, like he was like, Oh my
- 40:00gosh, yeah. It was killing him not to be
- 40:01able to come out and say it word for word.
- 40:03So he's like, oh, I have to kind of.
- 40:06And even the way the lyrics were like when the sun will rise for
- 40:09you, it's like this hope that's like, not really for him, but.
- 40:14Like, you know, it wasn't he got suicided right after he
- 40:19committed suicide literally right after the the production
- 40:22of that video. There's evidence that that he's
- 40:26the forgotten bastard son of Podesta.
- 40:30Yep. Interesting.
- 40:33Yeah, well, that would. That would get really weird
- 40:36really quick if if that was true.
- 40:38That just just being involved in the the music industry in
- 40:41Hollywood, I mean, like there's a lot of people that know a lot
- 40:44of things and you know, you see all the messaging you see the
- 40:47the hush hush like the all seeing eye of Osiris the.
- 40:51Yeah, they cover they cover the one eye they exactly signal is
- 40:56is sworn to secrecy. Well, it's all interconnected
- 40:59like so the idea of it's multi layered it that's not exclusive
- 41:02to just what we're understanding biblically.
- 41:04Oh, no, you know, you've made this really great point a little
- 41:07bit back where you were like, wouldn't the devil be not in
- 41:12even allegiance to the minions that are serving him?
- 41:14Like, wouldn't he throw them under the bus the first chance
- 41:16he got? And he's like, yeah.
- 41:18So, you know, obviously, Gary Wayne, we go through some of
- 41:21these deep things that he systematically lays out with
- 41:25with research and information and footnotes.
- 41:27And and you can see that there's wars even being waged between
- 41:31tribes of bad seed, let alone those of us who are crying out
- 41:35to the one name that's above every name.
- 41:37And the Hollywood industry, all of this interconnectivity within
- 41:41Hollywood, within the music industry.
- 41:43Fascinating to consider because because that that before I
- 41:46didn't know what you just told me that he potentially could be
- 41:50the bastard son of Podesta. I didn't know that.
- 41:52But just from what I was showing you was like, yeah, he's trying
- 41:54to like convey a message like you sorrowful, right.
- 41:59Continue to elaborate on that a little bit more.
- 42:01And, and, and where do you, where would you like to go from
- 42:03there then? Because my mind is going like
- 42:05five ways, but I want, I want to rock with you on on what's
- 42:09what's good for you as well. Well, I mean, like you say, I
- 42:13mean like it's one of your your greatest quotes is everything's
- 42:15multi layered. I mean, it's I mean, we can talk
- 42:18about Freemasonry, we can talk about, you know, the occult, we
- 42:21can talk about all these different things.
- 42:23I mean, even they in fight, you know, the enemies, they all in
- 42:27fight. It's all it's all a quest for
- 42:30power. You know, they're all fighting
- 42:32for the Kingdom. You know, they're all against
- 42:34God and they're against each other as well.
- 42:36It's not it's not a good family. You know, it's a bunch of kids
- 42:39that, you know, left the father and they don't have any
- 42:42direction. And, you know, I want to be the
- 42:45boss. No, I want to be the boss.
- 42:47No, I want to be the boss. You know, and you see a lot of
- 42:50that even in Hollywood, you get a lot of whistleblowers and
- 42:52stuff that come out because they might have been slighted.
- 42:55And, you know, there's this, this, this.
- 42:58I don't call it coincidence, but it's interesting that they all
- 43:02get suicided the same way. As soon as they come out and
- 43:04they start whistle blowing on something, whether it be through
- 43:07messaging or artistry or something, or even just coming
- 43:10out straight out saying it, These people end up going
- 43:14missing or dying, you know, And I think that, you know, that the
- 43:21enemy obviously operates in the shadows.
- 43:24We're living in a time where he's been a little bit more out
- 43:27in the open and, you know, it's not like, you know, hidden in
- 43:31plain sight for those that don't have eyes to see and ears to
- 43:35hear. But once you, like I said
- 43:37earlier, once you know that you're saved and once you know
- 43:40that you're led by the spirit. Like this isn't me.
- 43:42I'm not anything special. I'm not I'm led by the spirit.
- 43:46It's what is that little meme? What is that movie with like a
- 43:50Rowdy Roddy Piper or whatever where he's got like the glasses
- 43:53on and, you know, he sees like, you know, aliens or whatever and
- 43:57like whatever, every time he puts the glasses on.
- 44:00Like that's honestly how it is. Like once you're led by the
- 44:03spirit and once you see like you can't take those glasses off,
- 44:07you know, that's how you see everything.
- 44:09And I know you're the exact same way.
- 44:10Everything is just stands out to you in a heartbeat, whether it
- 44:14be a commercial or a Disney movie that I turn on for my
- 44:18daughter. You know, it's just like, man,
- 44:22the enemy is just operating full force right now.
- 44:24And he uses people. And that's, that's the way that
- 44:26the anime operates is he uses people to attack people.
- 44:31He causes division. And yeah, he didn't, he didn't
- 44:35do anything. He didn't make Adam and Eve eat
- 44:37of the fruit. He convinced them that, you know
- 44:40what, pride. Don't you want to be like God?
- 44:43Don't you want to know everything that God knows you
- 44:46know? Did God really say say that you
- 44:49couldn't eat? Exactly.
- 44:50Surely, surely you won't. He's questioning the eternal
- 44:53truth and then he's planning in these ideas.
- 44:56Well, if you do, you'll be right.
- 44:59OK, so the enemy's up to the same tricks.
- 45:00Now, what's interesting is this infighting idea.
- 45:03You know, Gary Wayne talks about the bloodlines that are trying
- 45:05to produce this Antichrist instead of Christ, which which
- 45:10means in place of the biblical Messiah, the one who was born of
- 45:15the Virgin Mary, who came in the flesh, the physical image of the
- 45:19invisible God. And he is the Lamb of God who
- 45:22laid down his life and rose again on the third day according
- 45:25to the Scriptures. But there's other contenders who
- 45:29know the Scriptures well. Remember, the devil's a
- 45:31theologian. He's quoting Scripture to the
- 45:33living word of God when he takes him out, when the Spirit leads
- 45:36him out into the wilderness for the 40 days.
- 45:38The devil's the devil's a theologic.
- 45:41And this infighting idea is fascinating now because they're
- 45:45trying to supplant the living Messiah and produce a bloodline
- 45:53that can inherit this, this false utopia, this false idea of
- 45:58salvation. Their narrative, they have a
- 46:02narrative. And you know, you mentioned when
- 46:06you look at things with the Holy Spirit, you can't ever see them
- 46:09the same way again. Yeah, it's, I say sometimes I'm
- 46:12a man of many sorrows. I can't look at stuff and just
- 46:16be like, I don't know, you know, even Christmas parties, they're
- 46:19not just happy go lucky for me, like I just come.
- 46:24Out. It can too, but, but I've
- 46:26noticed over the years, it strengthened my personal walk
- 46:29with the Lord because when I feel separated and I feel like
- 46:32I'm misunderstood and I feel like people don't get it and
- 46:35they just don't understand the cost and, and what I see.
- 46:38I'm dialoguing with him much more than I'm dialoguing on this
- 46:42podcast. We're 170 plus episodes in.
- 46:45I guarantee you there's a lot more time I'm spending talking
- 46:48to the Lord than on air. And so I, I look back and I'm
- 46:51like, OK, Lord, OK. Now you can use a broken vessel
- 46:56like me to bring other people close to you.
- 46:59Absolutely. Your ways are so much higher
- 47:01than our ways. Your thoughts are so much higher
- 47:04than our thoughts. It's.
- 47:04Not about status. Yeah, God, God's Kingdom is not
- 47:08about status. And like, that's the worldly
- 47:10view, you know, all the elites of the world.
- 47:12It's all about status. God uses the most broken.
- 47:16People look throughout the Bible.
- 47:18Read your Bible. People look throughout Genesis.
- 47:20He uses the most broken. People teaser for the audience.
- 47:27You know, we have some roundtable ideas planned out
- 47:31where bouncing ideas that this you coined this term.
- 47:34I love to bounce ideas with you guys.
- 47:38And yeah, I mean, come on, That's what the ecclesias should
- 47:41be doing in their fellowship. And then when we get together as
- 47:46the body, we are petitioning and and we're the government.
- 47:48What like we are the the powers and people and the things that
- 47:52we are proclaiming out of our mouths.
- 47:54So if we're spirit filled Christians, when we get together
- 47:57and pray, we are literally entering the courtrooms of
- 48:00heaven. We're making a petition as sons
- 48:02of God. We're not begging to eat out of
- 48:04the fridge of our father. If you have a good dad, you grew
- 48:06up in his house and you don't got to ask to open the fridge to
- 48:08eat, you have access to that. And that's that's how we're
- 48:13beginning to learn to operate 5 Fold Ministries now starting to
- 48:16make more sense on a micro scale.
- 48:19Unfortunately, on the macro scale, it's just a nutshell out
- 48:23there what people actually think is real Christianity.
- 48:25But let's talk about these bouncing of ideas, the
- 48:29sharpening with each other that's been encouraging to all
- 48:31of us on the Thursday night prayer call.
- 48:34And and we're formulating some people to do these round tables
- 48:37with to to make it more inclusive because we're like,
- 48:41man, the world should have hurt this conversation.
- 48:43You know, there's times where we're having conversations,
- 48:45we're cracking up and then we start praising God and we're
- 48:47like, man, this should kind of go above and beyond, you know,
- 48:50the five or six of us here right now.
- 48:52What are you just thoughts on anything I said there?
- 48:54I'll say this is words of encouragement.
- 48:56So it took me literally about four years of my walk to finally
- 48:59find you and you know, a bunch of other guys, great guys to be
- 49:04able to bounce these ideas off each other.
- 49:05And I, I lived in like a prison of my own mind, so to speak, not
- 49:09having that community, right? So I could research and research
- 49:12and research and I could listen to podcasts after podcast while
- 49:16I'm at work. But if you don't have communion
- 49:18and you don't have, you know, brotherhood, sisterhood and
- 49:23you're not, you don't have anybody to basically bounce
- 49:27these ideas off of. Honestly, it it'll drive you
- 49:29crazy. And I I can attest to that.
- 49:32I was a victim to it. You can be a book of knowledge,
- 49:35but if you're not focusing on the worship in the community,
- 49:39which is what we're called to do, you're failing yourself.
- 49:42So a big problem that I had was listening to these quote UN
- 49:46quote fringe topics. I basically refrain myself from
- 49:53going to the church because honestly, I would become
- 49:55frustrated because everything seemed lukewarm to me at the
- 49:58church. Like, and I love what Dave said.
- 50:01He said it perfectly on your guys's podcast with Dave and
- 50:04Enoch, how he told his story about like, I love my pastor,
- 50:11you know, even though he disagrees with me on certain
- 50:13things, I, I'm still going to love him.
- 50:15And like, he became the person that people at church started
- 50:19coming to and started following him and listening to his channel
- 50:22and listening to your channel. So I encourage everybody, like
- 50:26go to church, you can talk about these things.
- 50:29Don't get frustrated if people look at you and they, they don't
- 50:33come into an immediate agreement, you know, plant that
- 50:38seed, give it to God. You know what, just be
- 50:41encouraging, be humble, you know, maybe introduce them to an
- 50:45episode of Millennial Mustard Seed.
- 50:47That's what I do. It's been pretty easy, honestly.
- 50:50Like, Hey, listen to this podcast and I'll send it over.
- 50:52I, I literally just bought a new Jeep because my truck broke down
- 50:55on me and Chris, who was, you know, the one that basically
- 50:59gave me a deal on everything and helped me out.
- 51:01I was just like, hey, man, we started talking, we took a test
- 51:03drive. I'm like, he started talking
- 51:05about everything political and it's just like, man, I've been
- 51:07there, I've done that, I've been down this path.
- 51:09He's very, very passionate about everything that that the tension
- 51:12is building up with this coming season of the election.
- 51:15And honestly, I think the enemy is just creating chaos and it's
- 51:19all noise. It's all happening.
- 51:21It's all very real. But don't lose hope.
- 51:24And like, what does the enemy do?
- 51:25He wants to implant fear and he's doing a damn good job of
- 51:30it, you know? But man, when you follow Christ
- 51:34and you know that you're saved, man, God looks down and smiles
- 51:39at the plans of the enemy. So like, that's the most
- 51:41encouraging thing I can say is honestly like, don't be fearful.
- 51:46Find somebody, you know, go to your church.
- 51:48That communion is like the most important thing.
- 51:51If you can start like a, you know, you don't have to start a
- 51:53podcast. You don't have to be, I'm very
- 51:55blessed. I'm, I've got a relationship
- 51:57with Rod now. I, I can't even tell you how
- 51:59fortunate I am. You don't need that.
- 52:04Just need to find some people, find some friends, start like a
- 52:07Bible study stick. Just call your friends, get on a
- 52:10three-way call. Just do whatever it takes to
- 52:12have that communion, bounce those ideas off each other
- 52:15because honestly, you'll end up like I was where it's just like
- 52:18my head's going to explode, you know, like, come on, I need
- 52:21somebody to talk to anybody, please, you know, so.
- 52:27Yeah, I love what Pete from over at the Days of Noah podcast
- 52:30says. And he's like, Rod, do you
- 52:31remember when you said to me, you know all this stuff, you
- 52:35know all this fringe information now, right?
- 52:37You're in pursuit. What are you going to do about
- 52:40it exactly? I'm.
- 53:01Just going to say prayers for all the the victims and stuff
- 53:03from all these hurricanes. We can kind of talk off air
- 53:08about, you know, what exactly is going on, but I don't think it's
- 53:14natural. Then we're getting hit with
- 53:18another hurricane. Just prayers for everybody, you
- 53:21know, in Western North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, It's just
- 53:25crazy. That was what we're going
- 53:28through right now. Those people are going through
- 53:29the suffering, and now the people in Tampa Bay and Florida,
- 53:32and we'll see what, you know, goes on with this kind of
- 53:35bracket and just continue to pray for people and try to,
- 53:38yeah, help out as much as possible.
- 53:40But it does seem like the powers that be don't want people to be
- 53:43helped. The.
