1:57
Ron Meyers: It's a reminder that if you're drifting, it's time to choose direction.
2:03
Ron Meyers: Let's get into it.
2:05
Sammy Maloof: Well, I grew up in San Gabriel, California, and I was very fortunate to have two of the greatest parents that walk this earth.
2:12
Sammy Maloof: And my father and my mother both, they owned real estate and stuff.
2:16
Sammy Maloof: We had rental properties.
2:17
Sammy Maloof: So we got to grow up being taught how to think.
2:20
Sammy Maloof: And we gotta, we grew up in order.
2:22
Sammy Maloof: Everything on everything in our house was order.
2:25
Sammy Maloof: And of course, later on in life, I find out that order is the most accurate arrangement of things.
2:29
Sammy Maloof: So unbeknownst to my sister, brother, and I, we were being trained daily, getting up, fix your bed, wash your face, brush your teeth, comb your hair, get dressed, get to a breakfast table, eat your breakfast, wash your dishes, dry them, and put them away.
2:42
Sammy Maloof: So we were always taught the habit.
2:45
Sammy Maloof: So we just we they decided that habit for us as a child.
2:48
Sammy Maloof: And that habit carried on through our future and everything my sister, my brother, and myself done.
2:53
Sammy Maloof: So growing up, I was a little bit of a terror.
2:56
Sammy Maloof: That would just mean everybody out of this whole world, especially Christians, are gonna have a terror testimony.
3:01
Sammy Maloof: But I was a little bit different.
3:02
Sammy Maloof: You know, I grew up at a young age at fourth grade building a go-kart with my brother that did somewhere close to 80 miles an hour in the street.
3:09
Sammy Maloof: Well, yeah, I tried to jump a golf cart over the watch and it didn't work.
3:12
Sammy Maloof: As a young kid, you know, growing up, my father and mother, they never ever squashed our dreams.
3:18
Sammy Maloof: They never forced us that you need to go to college, but they did encourage us to find our gifts and talents at a young age.
3:24
Sammy Maloof: My father and mother knew that I was very mechanical.
3:26
Sammy Maloof: Well, my dad was mechanical, you know.
3:28
Sammy Maloof: He was my dad had garages and gas stations and hot rods before I was even born.
3:33
Sammy Maloof: So then when we come along, my brother, sister, and I, my father and mother were already into real estate, rental properties, and they had rentals everywhere.
3:39
Sammy Maloof: They seen at a young age that they had mechanical abilities were inside me.
3:43
Sammy Maloof: So they never really forced me to do anything other than work in my talent.
3:47
Sammy Maloof: So when the time came to go to college, I was out of high school, my dad says, What do you think about going to college?
3:53
Sammy Maloof: So I had already been building race hot rods and street racing and making a lot of money and illegal street racing and bare knuckle barn fighting and arm wrestling.
4:01
Sammy Maloof: So that's how I was making a lot of money.
4:03
Sammy Maloof: And I told my dad, I said, you know, look, I really don't want to go to college, but you know what?
4:07
Sammy Maloof: I will.
4:07
Sammy Maloof: I went to college for two weeks.
4:09
Sammy Maloof: And I listened to the teacher tell me how I'm gonna make a hundred thousand dollars a year.
4:13
Sammy Maloof: So, me, being who I was, I raised my hand and I asked the teacher, how much do teachers make?
4:18
Sammy Maloof: I mean, if we can if we're gonna make a hundred grand a year, you guys must be more making more than that.
4:22
Sammy Maloof: He says, We make $36,000.
4:23
Sammy Maloof: I go, you're gonna teach me how to make $100,000 a year and you're only making $36,000?
4:28
Sammy Maloof: So my father and mother knew at that time I'm not gonna go to college.
4:32
Sammy Maloof: So they we got a building.
4:34
Sammy Maloof: My father, my mother and father, we bought this big building, and they said, Listen, I'm gonna give you six months to make it.
4:40
Sammy Maloof: Well, at that time, I want to get into stunts, but I had just opened my shop, so I said to myself, I'm gonna give the shop seven years.
4:47
Sammy Maloof: If I don't make it in seven years in a race car shop, I'm gonna go back to stunts.
4:51
Sammy Maloof: Ron, you gotta remember I wasn't a Christian at that time.
4:54
Sammy Maloof: We were raised Orthodox Catholic, but we had great principles and great honor and great respect for our father and mother.
4:59
Sammy Maloof: And we worked at apartments our whole life.
5:01
Sammy Maloof: We would go over there and do the yard work and paint and do roofing and plumbing and electrical.
5:06
Sammy Maloof: And now in my life, I look back and I go, what a gift from God that was to work with my hands constantly to know where I'm at today.
5:13
Sammy Maloof: I would never have what I have today if it wasn't working knowledge.
5:16
Sammy Maloof: Now we fast forward to where I have my shop.
5:19
Sammy Maloof: You know, if you're ever gonna make it line, you know, winners do the things they hate to create something they love.
5:23
Sammy Maloof: Winners focus on what they're gonna go to, losers focus on what they go through.
5:27
Sammy Maloof: That's what they never get there.
5:28
Sammy Maloof: They have the win, they have the winning ability in them, but they got the loser excuse that trumps it.
5:33
Sammy Maloof: At that point in time in my life, I was still street racing, I was still arm wrestling, I was still bare knuckle barn fighting.
5:39
Sammy Maloof: And then one day I go to a place in Canoga Park called the Longhorn.
5:44
Sammy Maloof: And I was gonna go there for one reason.
5:46
Sammy Maloof: If I wasn't street racing, making I would make two to five grand a week in street racing.
5:51
Sammy Maloof: If I wasn't making street racing money, then I would go out and arm wrestle or go to a bar and get in a bar fight for money.
5:58
Sammy Maloof: Well, this one particular evening, I'm in this place called the Longhorn in Canoga Park.
6:03
Sammy Maloof: I'm not gonna drink.
6:04
Sammy Maloof: I just want to find a cowboy and maybe him and I can go outside and fight for a few dollars.
6:09
Sammy Maloof: So I get to the bar and there's a table with a bunch of girls at this table.
6:13
Sammy Maloof: I'm standing at the bar ordering a cup of ice, and these girls are laughing and giggling, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, they're talking about me.
6:21
Sammy Maloof: All of a sudden, I'm looking to see who the big cowboy was.
6:23
Sammy Maloof: And I get this tap on his shoulder, and I look back, and there's this really pretty brunette girl, and she goes, I'm one of the producers at KZLA radio station, country music, and I would like you to be my Christmas escort.
6:37
Sammy Maloof: I go, I'll tell you what, man, when you sober up, tomorrow you give me a call, and we'll talk about this.
6:43
Sammy Maloof: Well, Patty calls me.
6:45
Sammy Maloof: And then she tells me when the Christmas party is, and she tells me she wants me to meet this guy, this morning DJ by the name of Ken Cooper.
6:53
Sammy Maloof: He has hot rods.
6:54
Sammy Maloof: So I take her to the Christmas KZLA radio station Christmas party, and we go inside, I meet this guy, Ken Cooper.
7:02
Sammy Maloof: So we get to talk him right away, and he tells me, Oh, wow, I didn't know he had a hot rod shop.
7:05
Sammy Maloof: And next thing you know, he goes, I go, Yeah, I go, maybe you can bring your car by sometime.
7:09
Sammy Maloof: Monday morning at 11 o'clock, he calls me, goes, he goes, Sammy, this is Ken Cooper.
7:14
Sammy Maloof: I met you last night.
7:15
Sammy Maloof: I go, hey, Kenny goes, I want to come down and see your shop.
7:18
Sammy Maloof: So he came down and seen my shop, brought his hot rod, and I'm looking at and I see a bunch of Disneyland stuff done on this thing, a bunch of goofy stuff.
7:25
Sammy Maloof: So I said, Ken, this is all wrong.
7:27
Sammy Maloof: He goes, you know, I've heard that from everybody.
7:29
Sammy Maloof: He goes, everybody tells me it's this, the carburetor, this.
7:32
Sammy Maloof: I go, so I told him, I go, let me do my things on this car.
7:35
Sammy Maloof: I'm gonna charge you a diamond.
7:36
Sammy Maloof: Tell me if it runs better.
7:37
Sammy Maloof: And it flew when I was done.
7:39
Sammy Maloof: So he was excited.
7:40
Sammy Maloof: And every day, Ron, Ken would come out, and Ken would plant seeds in me about the Lord.
7:45
Sammy Maloof: And then one day he's there and he goes, you know, Sam, he goes, You think you're tough arm wrestling and all the street fighting and street racing.
7:52
Sammy Maloof: Now I'm thinking he's gonna get hurt.
7:54
Sammy Maloof: But I just shut, I just shut my mouth.
7:56
Sammy Maloof: And Ron, let me tell you something.
7:58
Sammy Maloof: When the righteous man's footsteps are ordered by the Lord, the individual that he went to, not only does he want what he says, he needs what he says.
8:07
Sammy Maloof: So I just sat there.
8:08
Sammy Maloof: I knew I needed what this man was gonna tell me.
8:10
Sammy Maloof: I just didn't know how.
8:11
Sammy Maloof: I don't know nothing about Christianity.
8:12
Sammy Maloof: It was a Catholic.
8:13
Sammy Maloof: I went to church for two reasons.
8:15
Sammy Maloof: Girls and your folks make you.
8:16
Sammy Maloof: So Ken starts talking to me, and he goes, if you really want to know what power is, it'll hit you like you've never been hit.
8:22
Sammy Maloof: I he grabbed my hand on the corner of San Gabriel Boulevard in London, and I repeated a prayer after him.
8:28
Sammy Maloof: And the moment I repeated that prayer, something came out of me, and something came in me.
8:33
Sammy Maloof: When I renounced Satan, the bitterness, the anger, the urge to be a street fighter, street racer, own my slur, go to bar knuckle fighting and all, it all left, instantly left.
8:43
Sammy Maloof: And when Christ came in, I'll tell you something, I just wanted to hold everybody and love them and take care of them.
8:50
Sammy Maloof: In one hundred of a second, I was transformed.
8:53
Sammy Maloof: And at that time, Ken started mentoring me.
8:56
Sammy Maloof: I started going to Pastor Jack Shayford's church, I got myself a Bible, I started cutting people out of my life.
9:02
Sammy Maloof: So now as a week goes by, two weeks go by, I'm on my way to a street race.
9:07
Sammy Maloof: And on the way out there, God says, if you quit street racing, I will give you a race car.
9:12
Sammy Maloof: So now I'm just driving.
9:13
Sammy Maloof: I get there, I unload my 68 Z28 Camaro off the trailer, and no sooner I shut it off, God says, obey the laws of the land, and I will give you a race car.
9:24
Sammy Maloof: So I instantly knew that was my heavenly father.
9:28
Sammy Maloof: I get my truck, I start it up, and I come back to my shop and I'm praising the Lord.
9:32
Sammy Maloof: Father, I thank you for my race car.
9:34
Sammy Maloof: A week goes by, no race car.
9:35
Sammy Maloof: Two weeks go by, still no race car.
9:37
Sammy Maloof: One day I'm walking out of my engine room, and there's a Road Race GT1 car that's been sitting in my shop for about six years at the time.
9:44
Sammy Maloof: And it belonged to a gentleman by the name of Sam G.
9:47
Sammy Maloof: Greco.
9:48
Sammy Maloof: So I walked out of my engine room and I looked at that car, and the desire to own that car wells up inside of me, like, no tomorrow.
9:55
Sammy Maloof: I looked at that and I go, God, is that the car you want me to have?
9:58
Sammy Maloof: And God says, Call him and ask him to sell you that car.
10:01
Sammy Maloof: So I called him up.
10:02
Sammy Maloof: He goes, No, we'll never get rid of that car.
10:04
Sammy Maloof: It's been in our family too long.
10:06
Sammy Maloof: It's raced at Riverside.
10:07
Sammy Maloof: We'll never even get rid of it.
10:08
Sammy Maloof: I said, Thank you, Mr.
10:09
Sammy Maloof: G, anyway.
10:10
Sammy Maloof: I hung up.
10:11
Sammy Maloof: So I go to my shop, I'm working in the engine room.
10:13
Sammy Maloof: I come out, and God says, faith without corresponding action is dead.
10:18
Sammy Maloof: Get in that car and see yourself driving it.
10:21
Sammy Maloof: Now, Ron, I've got employees working for me here.
10:25
Sammy Maloof: And I'm in the car acting like I'm racing this car.
10:28
Sammy Maloof: I'm going through the gears and there's no transmission.
10:31
Sammy Maloof: I'm seeing myself doing it.
10:33
Sammy Maloof: I get out of the car and God says, This is of me.
10:36
Sammy Maloof: Put your hands on this car and claim it.
10:38
Sammy Maloof: So I says, Father, in the name of Jesus, I believe this is inspired by the Holy Spirit.
10:43
Sammy Maloof: I believe this is the car you want me to have.
10:45
Sammy Maloof: And I thank you for it in Jesus' name.
10:46
Sammy Maloof: Amen.
10:47
Sammy Maloof: Every day I walk by that car.
10:49
Sammy Maloof: Father, I thank you for my car.
10:50
Sammy Maloof: A week goes by, two weeks go by, and Mr.
10:53
Sammy Maloof: G comes in.
10:53
Sammy Maloof: I go, Mr.
10:54
Sammy Maloof: Gina Greco, how are you?
10:55
Sammy Maloof: He goes, you know, Sam, he goes, you've done a lot for our family.
10:58
Sammy Maloof: I'm going to give you that race car.
11:00
Sammy Maloof: I walked out there.
11:00
Sammy Maloof: I go, Father, I thank you for my car.
11:02
Sammy Maloof: I've raced that car for 30-some years now.
11:05
Sammy Maloof: If I could encourage anybody when they're first starting out as a Christian, this is what I did.
11:10
Sammy Maloof: I knew how Satan worked after I became a Christian.
11:12
Sammy Maloof: I knew how his schemes and methods worked.
11:14
Sammy Maloof: But I wanted to know God the very first day, like I knew the world.
11:18
Sammy Maloof: So this is what I did.
11:19
Sammy Maloof: I had a beautiful two-bedroom house.
11:21
Sammy Maloof: My back bedroom was empty.
11:22
Sammy Maloof: I put two chairs in that back bedroom, Ron.
11:25
Sammy Maloof: One chair was for Jesus, and one chair was for me.
11:28
Sammy Maloof: And I told God, Father, I will meet you there tomorrow morning at 6 a.m.
11:32
Sammy Maloof: It's one thing maybe to meet with the president of the United States, maybe.
11:35
Sammy Maloof: It's another thing to be meeting with the creator of the universe.
11:38
Sammy Maloof: So now I shower, I shave, I'm up, I walk in that room at 6 a.m., shut the door, I sit down in one chair and there's an empty chair in front of me.
11:47
Sammy Maloof: So I just start praising the Lord.
11:48
Sammy Maloof: And I'm gonna tell you something.
11:50
Sammy Maloof: When God marks you, nobody can take it away.
11:53
Sammy Maloof: If God's not in something, you can't start it.
11:55
Sammy Maloof: If God is in it, nobody can stop it.
11:58
Sammy Maloof: Ever since then, I have got supernatural testimonies.
12:01
Sammy Maloof: The word of God is supernatural.
12:03
Sammy Maloof: It's still alive.
12:04
Sammy Maloof: Hebrews 13, 8.
12:05
Sammy Maloof: I am the same yesterday, same forever.
12:07
Sammy Maloof: God did it back then, he'll do it today, and he does it forever.
12:10
Sammy Maloof: Problem with most people are they don't understand how the enemy works.
12:14
Sammy Maloof: The greatest type of assassin is the one who conceals his identity.
12:17
Sammy Maloof: Satan has no power.
12:20
Sammy Maloof: When Satan was thrown out of heaven, he was stripped from all spiritual discernment.
12:24
Sammy Maloof: Check this out.
12:25
Sammy Maloof: God said to know me, you must know me in spirit and truth.
12:28
Sammy Maloof: Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life.
12:32
Sammy Maloof: And nobody can go to the heavens.
12:34
Sammy Maloof: Nobody can go to the Father.
12:36
Sammy Maloof: Nobody can get there unless they go through him.
12:39
Sammy Maloof: Satan doesn't have Christ, the Holy Spirit, or God, three in one, so he can't even get there.
12:45
Sammy Maloof: But yet, somehow, some way, it always winds up in the pulpit.
12:50
Sammy Maloof: Well, God's allowing this to happen.
12:52
Sammy Maloof: God's in charge of this world.
12:54
Sammy Maloof: No, he's not.
12:55
Sammy Maloof: If God's in charge of the world, he's doing a lousy job.
12:57
Sammy Maloof: Quit blaming him.
12:58
Sammy Maloof: God says, My kingdom is not of this world.
13:00
Sammy Maloof: He left Adam in charge.
13:02
Sammy Maloof: Adam gave it to Satan.
13:03
Sammy Maloof: God couldn't create another Adam because everything was polluted now.
13:07
Sammy Maloof: He couldn't take the power that he gave to Adam away from Satan because it wasn't his to take back.
13:12
Sammy Maloof: So he said, This I'm gonna send myself and I'm gonna walk on this earth to demonstrate to everybody how Adam was supposed to walk.
13:19
Sammy Maloof: So what did God do?
13:20
Sammy Maloof: He became the infant, the child, the teenager, and then the adult.
13:24
Sammy Maloof: The same way we were born.
13:26
Sammy Maloof: It was God's blood that covered.
13:28
Sammy Maloof: And it was God that walked the earth and a body called Christ.
13:31
Sammy Maloof: In the book of John, it says, in the beginning was the word.
13:34
Sammy Maloof: The word was with God, the word was God.
13:36
Sammy Maloof: The 14th verses, God became flesh and walked on the earth in a body called Christ.
13:42
Sammy Maloof: He did it to demonstrate to us.
13:44
Sammy Maloof: So what I did, I duplicated God.
13:46
Sammy Maloof: Everything he does, I do.
13:48
Sammy Maloof: Because he said in John 14, 12, first of all, I personalize that Bible as if God's talking to me.
13:53
Sammy Maloof: Samuel Maluth, yes, sir.
13:55
Sammy Maloof: If I live in you, the work that I do, you're gonna do also and greater.
13:59
Sammy Maloof: I said, Yes, I receive that, my heavenly father.
14:01
Sammy Maloof: God's no respecter of persons, he's a respecter of his word.
14:05
Sammy Maloof: That's the God I serve.
14:07
Sammy Maloof: He said signs and wonders will follow the believer.
14:10
Sammy Maloof: All things are possible to those who believe.
14:12
Sammy Maloof: On the movie Fast and Furious 2, I'm the cat driving the convertible Corvette.
14:17
Sammy Maloof: The 18-wheeler runs over the Mustang, kicked out the Corvette, kicked out the Mustang.
14:21
Sammy Maloof: I'm supposed to drill this car with the Corvette I'm driving.
14:24
Sammy Maloof: I pray about this before the stunt takes place.
14:27
Sammy Maloof: God tells me, do not use a harness belt.
14:29
Sammy Maloof: Of course I'm not going to use a harness belt.
14:31
Sammy Maloof: Yes, Lord.
14:32
Sammy Maloof: Why?
14:32
Sammy Maloof: Because there's no roll cage in the car.
14:34
Sammy Maloof: When there's no roll cage, I put a harness belt on.
14:37
Sammy Maloof: I'm subject to the belt, especially in a convertible.
14:40
Sammy Maloof: I want to be able to put a grab strap on the floor.
14:42
Sammy Maloof: The car goes to get upside down, reach down there, grab the strap, and pull myself to the floor.
14:48
Sammy Maloof: But in this case, it's a 2002 Corvette.
14:51
Sammy Maloof: There's a console in the middle.
14:53
Sammy Maloof: There's a camera rig right next to me.
14:56
Sammy Maloof: I couldn't go to a grab strap if I wanted to.
14:58
Sammy Maloof: But God told me do not use a harness belt.
15:01
Sammy Maloof: So I didn't.
15:01
Sammy Maloof: Then he told me to put angels around my car.
15:04
Sammy Maloof: Within one second, I cannot see what's going on because the special effect from the truck is going in my face.
15:11
Sammy Maloof: Now you gotta remember, I can't see one thing.
15:13
Sammy Maloof: My radio is between my legs, tugger's yelling on the radio, Terry, we can't see.
15:18
Sammy Maloof: Sammy can't see.
15:19
Sammy Maloof: Nobody can see.
15:20
Sammy Maloof: I'm not gonna stop.
15:21
Sammy Maloof: I'm going 55 miles an hour.
15:23
Sammy Maloof: There's cars behind me.
15:24
Sammy Maloof: If I hit my brakes, they can't see.
15:25
Sammy Maloof: They're gonna stack them up.
15:26
Sammy Maloof: The cable cutters go off.
15:28
Sammy Maloof: Boom! Dynamite blows, the cut cables get cut, the car hits the ground, the Mustang.
15:33
Sammy Maloof: The truck keeps going away.
15:35
Sammy Maloof: I'm going, where's the car?
15:36
Sammy Maloof: Because I can't see the car.
15:37
Sammy Maloof: It's special effects.
15:38
Sammy Maloof: It's like a white, a white wall.
15:40
Sammy Maloof: So I start putting my throttle down.
15:42
Sammy Maloof: 55, 65, 70.
15:45
Sammy Maloof: I see a corner of that Mustang and I throttle the car.
15:48
Sammy Maloof: I T-bone that Mustang with that Corvette, and my Corvette goes straight up in the air and flips on the convertible roof and crushes it to the ground.
15:57
Sammy Maloof: And not one here on my head was touched.
15:59
Sammy Maloof: They come too late to tell me about the power of God.
16:02
Sammy Maloof: Same thing on Fast and Furious 3.
16:04
Sammy Maloof: How did you get into stunt driving?
16:08
Sammy Maloof: In the book of Jeremiah 1, it says, God said, I knew you before I put you in the stomach of your mother.
16:16
Sammy Maloof: There isn't an individual in this world, in the universe.
16:20
Sammy Maloof: There is not a scientist, there's not a Bible scholar, there's nobody in this world that can read the Bible and get understanding without Christ living in their heart.
16:31
Sammy Maloof: It says in 1 Corinthians 2.14, your natural man does not receive things of the Spirit of God, nor can they know them because they are spiritually discerned.
16:42
Sammy Maloof: So people that say they know God or know the Word of God, but yet they're not a Christian.
16:46
Sammy Maloof: They're liars.
16:47
Sammy Maloof: You could know of God, but knowing of God and knowing God is two different things.
16:52
Sammy Maloof: So Psalms 37.4 says, Delight yourself in the Lord, and I give you your heart's desire.
16:57
Sammy Maloof: My heart's desire always wanted to be building race cars and doing stunts.
17:01
Sammy Maloof: So God gave me that desire.
17:03
Sammy Maloof: It's up to you to discover it from God.
17:05
Sammy Maloof: There's a lot of people on this earth, they're existing because they've not found out their purpose in life, their gifts, their talents, their vision, their calling.
17:14
Sammy Maloof: They have not found it out.
17:15
Sammy Maloof: So they just exist.
17:16
Sammy Maloof: To just exist.
17:18
Sammy Maloof: When God said, I knew you before I put you in the stomach of your mother, that should end every abortion case in the world.
17:27
Sammy Maloof: So when it comes to knowing your heavenly father, when you know him, you will know your purpose in life.
17:33
Sammy Maloof: So yes, that's how I knew.
17:34
Sammy Maloof: How I was going to achieve it, it didn't matter.
17:37
Sammy Maloof: God says the door he opens for me, no one will close.
17:40
Sammy Maloof: All as I had to do, Ron, was Matthew 6.33.
17:44
Sammy Maloof: Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and then all these things will be added unto you.
17:50
Sammy Maloof: He said, Acknowledge me in all your ways, I direct your path.
17:53
Sammy Maloof: That's Proverbs 3.6.
17:55
Sammy Maloof: So everything I've got today in life, everything, Ron, it all came from my heavenly father.
18:01
Ron Meyers: So, Sammy, if somebody listening says, Well, I haven't discovered my purpose.
18:06
Ron Meyers: I don't have the desires like Sammy does, what would you tell that person?
18:10
Sammy Maloof: People don't know who they really are until they hear it from their heavenly father.
18:15
Sammy Maloof: A person can't love until they hear how much God loves them.
18:19
Sammy Maloof: You can't give until you see what God gave you.
18:22
Sammy Maloof: Because the God of this age blinds our mind.
18:25
Sammy Maloof: The Bible says it.
18:26
Sammy Maloof: Satan's the father of the air who blinds the minds of the people.
18:29
Sammy Maloof: Satan's job is to interject thoughts in people's heads.
18:32
Sammy Maloof: The challenge with most people is they listen to too many people rather than seek God and find out who God is.
18:39
Sammy Maloof: And if they do seek them and they don't hear something in one one hundredth of a second, they say there's no such thing as God.
18:45
Sammy Maloof: Look, you are a spirit.
18:47
Sammy Maloof: You have a soul, and you live in a vehicle called the body.
18:50
Sammy Maloof: Your soul is made up of your mind, your will, and your emotion.
18:54
Sammy Maloof: The soul is the battlefield, the drafting room, the imaginary room, the arena.
18:59
Sammy Maloof: That's the only place the enemy can play with.
19:02
Ron Meyers: So, Sammy, if somebody listening says, I want what Sammy has.
19:07
Ron Meyers: I want to have that fire and that passion for life.
19:11
Ron Meyers: How do they do it?
19:12
Ron Meyers: I'll tell you what.
19:14
Sammy Maloof: You get anybody that wants that, you have them call me.
19:16
Sammy Maloof: I will pray for them.
19:17
Sammy Maloof: I'll mentor them.
19:18
Sammy Maloof: And I promise you, the two biggest tragedies an individual ever face in life.
19:24
Sammy Maloof: Number one, leave the earth without knowing where you're going.
19:26
Sammy Maloof: And number two, is leave the earth without fulfilling your heart's desire, vision, calling, or purpose.
19:31
Sammy Maloof: That means you just existed.
19:32
Sammy Maloof: That's another tragedy.
19:34
Sammy Maloof: So, yes, I would be willing to sit and mentor them and talk to them and show them how to hear from God.
19:40
Ron Meyers: Well, you pray right now for our listeners, just for whatever the Lord puts on your heart.
19:45
Sammy Maloof: Yes.
19:46
Sammy Maloof: Father, in the name of Jesus, that boldly go into the thronum of grace.
19:49
Sammy Maloof: Father, your word declares to me, which there's two or three gathered in your name, here you are in the midst.
19:55
Sammy Maloof: And if just two shall agree upon anything, it shall be done.
19:59
Sammy Maloof: Father, you have multiple thousands of children out there.
20:03
Sammy Maloof: I don't know their needs.
20:04
Sammy Maloof: You do.
20:05
Sammy Maloof: Father, I'm asking you now to send spirit-filled, born again, tongue-talking, faith-walking, Christian across your children's path.
20:15
Sammy Maloof: But I'm asking you first, Father, to please prepare their hearts to receive.
20:20
Sammy Maloof: I bind the spirit of division, bitterness, resentment, anger, hate, unforgiveness.
20:28
Sammy Maloof: I bind oppression, oppression, condemnation.
20:31
Sammy Maloof: I bind the spirit of condemnation.
20:33
Sammy Maloof: I bind the spirit of unbelief.
20:35
Sammy Maloof: I bind it, I bind the spirit of confusion.
20:39
Sammy Maloof: Father, I ask you to unzip the window of your children's heart and go deep inside and curb, courage the heart.
20:48
Sammy Maloof: It's the time they were little, when they opened that window of their heart and trusted the very person, and that person hurt them.
20:55
Sammy Maloof: And Father, as you showed me years ago, time doesn't heal.
20:58
Sammy Maloof: If time heals, then God's unnecessary.
21:01
Sammy Maloof: Father, it's only you that can heal the broken heart, the wounded heart, the hopelessness.
21:06
Sammy Maloof: Tell your children they are forgiven, and the sins are blotted out their life.
21:10
Sammy Maloof: As far as the East is from the West, the transgressions are gone.
21:14
Sammy Maloof: And Father, as you said, you never remember, you never remember, you never remember a stuff of God.
21:20
Sammy Maloof: Father, I'm asking you to do me a favor today.
21:23
Sammy Maloof: The ones that are hurting financially, the ones that are hurting because of the loved ones, not homeless, the ones that are discouraged, I'm asking you to let's tell me.
22:00
Ron Meyers: Media?
22:01
Sammy Maloof: Yes, I am.
22:02
Sammy Maloof: You can reach me at Sammy Maloof.com and everything should be on that one site.
22:07
Sammy Maloof: I mean, they can go to YouTube, Sammy Maloof, see a bunch of stunts and a bunch of stuff, but Sammy Maloof.com has everything.
22:14
Sammy Maloof: You can also look us up at Winning at the Race of Life, but Sammy Maloof.com usually has everything you need to know to get to me.
22:22
Ron Meyers: How many movies have you been in as a stunt uh driver?
22:26
Sammy Maloof: As a stuntman or fight, falls on fire, but my specialty is car stunts.
22:31
Sammy Maloof: So I don't know, maybe I can recap some of them.
22:34
Sammy Maloof: Rush Hour, Wow Wow West, Enemy of the State, Three Kings, Gone in 60 Seconds, The Benjamin's The Crew, Pilot Called The Fugitive.
22:43
Speaker 5: Wow.
22:45
Sammy Maloof: Benjamin's Crew, the Fugitive, Fast and Furious 2, Fast and Furious 3, Mission Impossible 4, Rock of Ages, Step of Four, Magic City, Burning Notice, Charlie's Angels, Transporter 2, I don't know, Monkey Bone.
22:58
Sammy Maloof: There's a bunch of them.
22:59
Sammy Maloof: I don't know.
22:59
Sammy Maloof: I I got some of them I remembered, but I've got to ask you this.
23:03
Ron Meyers: What's the fastest you've ever been going in one of your cars?
23:09
Sammy Maloof: I've gone over 200 miles an hour.
23:12
Ron Meyers: But no matter what you've done, and all the stunts and all the Hollywood people you've met, there's nothing that can touch a relationship with God, is there?
23:24
Sammy Maloof: Let me tell you something.
23:25
Sammy Maloof: This is what I tell him.
23:26
Sammy Maloof: I'm a Hollywood stunt man.
23:28
Sammy Maloof: I build race cars, but most of all, I'm a Christian.
23:32
Sammy Maloof: And my heavenly father always comes first.
23:34
Sammy Maloof: He's first and foremost before anything or anyone in my life.
23:38
Sammy Maloof: If God said it, I don't give a flying flip who believes it's settled.
23:44
Ron Meyers: You are a ball of fire, Sammy.
23:48
Ron Meyers: I am fired up after listening to you.
23:51
Ron Meyers: Now, thank you.
23:53
Ron Meyers: In closing, if there's something you feel you need to tell the listeners, please do.
23:59
Sammy Maloof: Okay.
23:59
Sammy Maloof: Let's just go right to the scripture, okay?
24:01
Sammy Maloof: First of all, in the book of James 1, verse 5, it says, a double-minded person is unstable in all their ways.
24:08
Sammy Maloof: Double-minded that's in the mind.
24:11
Sammy Maloof: Satan plays with the mind.
24:12
Sammy Maloof: Always remember, amen means so be it.
24:15
Sammy Maloof: No, since you say amen, Satan goes, yeah, but what if?
24:18
Sammy Maloof: What is he saying?
24:20
Sammy Maloof: Satan always starts a conversation with an accusation.
24:24
Sammy Maloof: God always starts conversations with communication.
24:28
Sammy Maloof: God speaks to the heart, Satan speaks to the mind.
24:31
Sammy Maloof: Number one.
24:32
Sammy Maloof: Number two, Mark 11, 22.
24:34
Sammy Maloof: It says, have faith in God.
24:37
Sammy Maloof: A literal translation is the faith of God or the God kind of faith.
24:43
Sammy Maloof: What's the God kind of faith?
24:45
Sammy Maloof: Light be and there's light.
24:48
Sammy Maloof: Peace be filled, and it's filled.
24:50
Sammy Maloof: Mark 1123 says, if you have as much faith as a mustard seed, you shall faith to a mountain.
24:59
Sammy Maloof: Be removed and cast into the sea.
25:02
Sammy Maloof: And shall not doubt in your heart.
25:04
Sammy Maloof: But believe those things you say shall come to pass.
25:09
Sammy Maloof: You will have whatever you say.
25:13
Sammy Maloof: The Bible says you have what you say.
25:16
Sammy Maloof: God never put a higher emphasis nor caution on anything other than words.
25:25
Sammy Maloof: He said by your word you're justified.
25:28
Sammy Maloof: And by your own words, you condemn yourself.
25:31
Sammy Maloof: It's not because in your mouth that defiles you, it's what comes out.
25:35
Sammy Maloof: He said you're stirred by your words, and then he says, You will have what you say.
25:46
Sammy Maloof: What say you think if you don't want it?
25:50
Sammy Maloof: He said in Romans 4 17, all those things that are not as though they are.
25:56
Sammy Maloof: If you're gonna get anywhere in the Word of God for victorious life, you're gonna have to bridle the thing under your nose called the tongue.
26:06
Sammy Maloof: James has a whole lot to say about that.
26:09
Sammy Maloof: The Bible says we all stumble in many things.
26:11
Sammy Maloof: If we don't stumble in words, we are a perfect man.
26:15
Sammy Maloof: That means complete, able to bridle the whole body from stumbling.
26:20
Sammy Maloof: So, yes, if people would ask and want to talk to me about something, I start with words.
26:26
Sammy Maloof: God framed the world with his words.
26:28
Sammy Maloof: He created you in your image, in his own image.
26:31
Sammy Maloof: You're framing your world right now with your words.
26:34
Sammy Maloof: People come to me and they want me to pray for them, no sooner I get done praying, especially if they're overweight and they go, no sooner I get done praying, they look at them like I gained 10 pounds just looking at that.
26:43
Sammy Maloof: I just got done praying.
26:45
Sammy Maloof: You've stopped your own blessing with your words.
26:48
Sammy Maloof: I have so much to say about words.
26:50
Sammy Maloof: My whole life I live off of words.
26:52
Ron Meyers: Sammy Maloof, you are a blessing.
26:55
Ron Meyers: You are a bright light.
26:57
Ron Meyers: You're out in California, and well, one of these days we're gonna see what we can do to get you into the Gulf Coast area and maybe bring one of your race cars.
27:07
Ron Meyers: I know you do that.
27:08
Sammy Maloof: I'll tell you what.
27:09
Sammy Maloof: I'll tell you what, you let me know, I'll bring my stunt car, and we'll put on a big stunt show, and we'll give a bunch of kids and people rides, and and let me have a place that I can speak to them first.
27:20
Sammy Maloof: Get an auditorium, I'll speak to them, and then we'll give them stunt rides.
27:24
Sammy Maloof: Sounds good, rides in a stunt car.
27:26
Sammy Maloof: Rise in a stunt car.
27:27
Sammy Maloof: Not a stunt car ride, but rides in a stunt car.
27:31
Ron Meyers: Well, brother, thank you for your time.
27:33
Ron Meyers: Thank you, Sammy.
27:34
Ron Meyers: I know you're busy.
27:35
Ron Meyers: Uh, you're working on any big projects right now, race cars?
27:39
Sammy Maloof: Yeah, I got a couple drag race motors, boat motors, and and of course, we have our own reality show.
27:46
Sammy Maloof: So it's been it's been really good.
27:48
Sammy Maloof: We're we I'm always busy, but I'm always available for you or your listeners.
27:53
Sammy Maloof: Just call.
27:54
Sammy Maloof: What's your reality show?
27:56
Sammy Maloof: It's called Drive Hard the Malou Play.
27:59
Sammy Maloof: It's about my family, my daughters, and my extended family that's with me, Janine and everybody.
28:04
Sammy Maloof: And and it's about racing, stunts, and and what we do for a living.
28:10
Ron Meyers: Thank you so much for your time.
28:14
Announcer: You're listening to Get the Hell Out of Your Life with your host, Ron Myers.
28:19
Announcer: Real stories, real struggles, and real hope.
28:24
Speaker 5: Jesus, Jesus.
28:26
Speaker 5: What do you think of when you hear that name?
28:29
Speaker 5: Jesus, Jesus, life, light, hope, Joe, Joe, Jesus, Jesus, all how do you get the hell out of your life?
29:26
Announcer: Get on your knees and cry out to the Lord.
29:28
Announcer: He hears you right where you are.
29:30
Announcer: How to get the hell out of your life?
29:32
Announcer: Well, you replace it with Jesus.
29:33
Announcer: We gotta be born again, born of the Spirit, and that's by trusting Jesus Christ, turning from our sins, and trusting Jesus.
29:38
Announcer: How do you get the hell out of your life?
29:40
Announcer: Oh gosh.
29:41
Ron Meyers: Jesus.
29:42
Ron Meyers: Jesus, Jesus.
29:43
Sammy Maloof: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
29:44
Announcer: Turn to Jesus.
29:46
Ron Meyers: Boy, I loved talking with Sammy.
29:49
Ron Meyers: You know, you hear the interview, but him and I probably talked for a few hours.
29:54
Ron Meyers: And what stands out about Sammy's story isn't just what he's done, it's how he lives.
30:01
Ron Meyers: He didn't stumble into excellence, he practiced it.
30:05
Ron Meyers: He didn't chase moments, he built habits.
30:09
Ron Meyers: And when chaos showed up on the track or on the film set, he wasn't guessing.
30:16
Ron Meyers: He was prepared.
30:18
Ron Meyers: From the GT1 road race to high risk stunt sequences where rigging failed and visibility disappeared, Sammy showed us how professionals manage risk.
30:32
Ron Meyers: Slow the mind, trust the training, and act with intention.
30:36
Ron Meyers: His safety calculus, his discipline, his focus reveals something deeper.
30:43
Ron Meyers: That faith doesn't remove danger, but it does sharpen clarity.
30:49
Ron Meyers: More than that, Sammy reminded us that words matter.
30:54
Ron Meyers: What you speak, visualize, and act on steers your life, just like a steering rack guides a car.
31:03
Ron Meyers: Many people drift simply because they never stop long enough to listen.
31:08
Ron Meyers: Through daily quiet time, and I loved it when he talked about pulling up two chairs, one for him and one for Jesus.
31:17
Ron Meyers: Through daily quiet time, intentional language and conversations with Jesus and the obedience in the small things, Sammy aligned belief with behavior and blessing followed the work, not by accident, but by design.
31:36
Ron Meyers: And now through mentorship, prayer, and upcoming projects like Drive Hard, the Maloof Way, he's passing that wisdom on, inviting others like you to drive with purpose instead of noise.
31:54
Ron Meyers: If today's episode spoke to you, here's the takeaway.
31:59
Ron Meyers: You don't need more speed.
32:01
Ron Meyers: You need direction.
32:03
Ron Meyers: Purpose isn't found in the rush, it's uh revealed in the quiet.
32:09
Ron Meyers: When you slow down long enough to listen, when you discipline your habits, when you bridle your words and do the work in front of you, clarity follows.
32:20
Ron Meyers: Maybe today is your moment to pull off the road, to check the alignment to trade adrift for drive.
32:30
Ron Meyers: Sammy prayed for you, the listener today.
32:33
Ron Meyers: And I want to echo what Sammy said that you would discover who you are, why you are here, and the courage to move forward with intention.
32:45
Ron Meyers: I want to thank you.
32:47
Ron Meyers: I just love spending time with you each week.
32:50
Ron Meyers: Thank you for being a part of this community of real stories, real struggles, and real hope.
32:58
Ron Meyers: I'll be back next week with another Grace-Filled Conversation right here on Get the Hell Out of Your Life.
33:06
Ron Meyers: Available wherever you listen to the podcast.
33:09
