  We have said that we have been in a no under attack zone.
• 0:06
  That's right. My house has been under no attack for almost a year and a half.
• 0:12
  That all ended this morning.
• 0:15
  No, groundhogs. And there's a hospital.
• 0:19
  The groundhogs are back. We are under attack. Have faith. Let's begin.
• 0:23
  Woodchuck versus Angel. Part one starts right now.
• 0:30
  It's Monday, and you know what that means. Welcome to Have Faith. Let it begin.
• 0:36
  Podcast of inspiration. It's a podcast of hope.
• 0:42
  It's a podcast of faith, and it's a podcast of friendship.
• 0:46
  Here is your host, Angel Santana, and special co-host, Dr. E.
• 0:52
  We're a three-part. Angel, I am pleased to punch to be here in three,
• 0:57
  two, one. Ladies and gentlemen, it is a wrap.
• 1:04
  Dr. E, look, man, Tom, I don't know. Going to ministry school,
• 1:09
  I'm learning about forgiveness, but my forgiveness is running thin, man.
• 1:12
  We have got it. Oh, Joe, the groundhogs are back, Angel. Don't tell me.
• 1:18
  Listen, not only is it back, it's got a family.
• 1:21
  So I don't know if they're coming after me, Godfather style,
• 1:24
  for all the heart attacks we gave the other ones, But this team,
• 1:28
  and I call it a team And the mama bear Mama Chuck, whatever you want to call
• 1:32
  her Is so big I don't even know if I could take her,
• 1:36
  So I put a Havahard trap.
• 1:39
  And I caught one No!
• 1:43
  Worst time ever on this show Which one did you get?
• 1:47
  We got, unfortunately, a little one So we're going to let this one go But we're
• 1:53
  going after the mama bear She's got to learn You know what I mean?
• 1:57
  She's got to learn. We're going to let this one go.
• 1:59
  But E, what do you do? I need some help. What can we do?
• 2:03
  Ammonia doesn't work. Singing to them doesn't work.
• 2:06
  What can we do? Angel, what you need to do is just sign over your title of your
• 2:12
  home to the mama of Woodchuck because she has a family to raise to.
• 2:18
  Or maybe we could just all live together in harmony.
• 2:22
  Is it possible that you and the Woodchuck family could just kind of learn to adjust to each other?
• 2:31
  I would love to, but they're breaking my shed.
• 2:35
  They're breaking it. they're chipping away the wood
• 2:37
  it's not biased can't we buy you
• 2:40
  can we go like a fund me and get
• 2:43
  a second shed just for the woodchuck family i
• 2:47
  have three they're taking over two oh geez angel as a person who lives in the
• 2:53
  country who was raised in the city i can only tell you that you're up against
• 2:58
  nature and guess what nature will always win yeah you know i got ideas of what I want to do.
• 3:06
  But every time I think about it, the good Lord sends me a little shock there
• 3:09
  and I get the little shock and it says, Hey, you are a man of God.
• 3:13
  And these are the creatures that I've created and they have a purpose.
• 3:17
  I haven't figured out what the purpose is for these woodchucks other than beating up my sheds.
• 3:21
  But the purpose of today's message is this. You got to learn to forgive.
• 3:25
  You got to learn to just say, you know what? It is what it is.
• 3:28
  And let the chips fall where they may, or maybe a woodchuck.
• 3:31
  Just kidding. Let's say a prayer and I'll keep you posted. This is part one.
• 3:35
  The saga begins. I feel like I should maybe cue up the Godfather music when I put this in editing.
• 3:41
  So we'll know. I know they're sitting back right now, and they're just saying,
• 3:44
  hey, Michael, Michael, this is what we're going to do.
• 3:47
  We're going to just take over the shed, okay, Michael?
• 3:50
  That's what I'm thinking. I don't know. We'll see what happens.
• 3:53
  All right, here we go. Let's do a quick prayer. Heavenly Father,
• 3:56
  we thank you for all that you've created, the animals, the earth.
• 4:00
  Lord, what can you do? These animals can get on our nerves, but what we can't
• 4:04
  do is we can't retaliate.
• 4:06
  We have to learn to live in the same soils and the same grounds that you provided us.
• 4:11
  Remember, at the end of the day, we may have taken their land before the houses
• 4:15
  were even put there, and they're just trying to pick up where they left off.
• 4:19
  So we just ask for forgiveness, for patience, and we pray that they will listen
• 4:23
  to this prayer and they realize maybe it's not a good idea to chip away at this guy's shed.
• 4:29
  Maybe it's just better just take it as a underground condominium.
• 4:32
  I'll even build them a pool.
• 4:34
  And we pray this to you in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• 4:37
  Amen. See, we can even have a good sense of humor here.
• 4:39
  Angel, that was really actually a great metaphor for forgiveness.
• 4:42
  And it did not go, you know, it did not get past me.
• 4:46
  And I just think all your listeners will appreciate it. God bless you and never forget.
• 4:50
  Have faith, let it begin, baby. Have a good one, Woodchuck. We're coming for
