Station where our veterans voices are heard.

MBR talk. Hey, thanks for supporting our
0:09
channel by watching and listening.
0:11
On the web at MB Radio dot. As veterans, we begin new lives
0:16
when we leave our military service.
0:19
What is faith? How do we incorporate faith in
0:22
service and after what resources are available?
0:27
Who do we talk with about faith? These are some of the many
0:31
questions that one may ponder in searching for answers to the
0:35
meaning of life. Join The Revivalists and let's
0:39
search for some answers together.
0:41
Luke 923 Then he said to them, All, Whoever wants to be my
0:47
disciple must deny themselves, and take up their cross daily,
0:51
and follow me. Hello everybody, welcome to the
1:32
Revivalist Radio Show. It is Monday, July 13th.
1:35
Dear of our Lord 2026. Daryl, how are you today?
1:41
Hola Senorita. Hey, I'm back in my home studio.
1:50
And and she won't tell you how many actual Texas safety and
1:53
traffic laws she broke trying to get back to Texas, but.
1:56
None. That's another episode.
1:59
Cruise control is my friend. None, Did you?
2:05
Have your, did you have your podcast on and all that good
2:07
stuff? I, you know, do my normal,
2:10
listen to different shows on Netflix and Prime and, you know,
2:16
'cause I just visual. I, you know, I do the
2:19
imagination thing and just listen to it as I'm driving.
2:24
So I, you know, it's one way, I think for me to not get
2:30
hypnotized by the road because your imagination has to work.
2:35
That's a real. Thing evil.
2:37
It's a real thing. Right, it is.
2:39
Yeah, it is. We should do AO on it actually.
2:43
Oh, we probably could. You know, I had to had I got new
2:47
glasses and so that was the other glasses I had on the new
2:52
ones. These are my computer glasses.
2:55
I just see better in them on the computer than than these.
3:00
Though I do like my new glasses but I tell you they helped a
3:06
bunch when I was doing archery and golf.
3:12
Man you can see target so much better.
3:15
Yeah, that's probably why you got the nice score you got too.
3:18
You got. The yeah, yeah, I'm excited.
3:21
You know, I saw the real scores finally posted on the VA website
3:27
and I was like, man, I could have gotten gold if I had used
3:31
the right pin when I was shooting at the 30 yard.
3:35
Could have been so much better. But it's OK, Lesson learned
3:38
first the, you know, first time in competition with archery.
3:42
So I'm not, I'm not this and. If somebody says something, even
3:48
that's one more silver medal that they don't have.
3:51
Well, true. But you know, The funny thing
3:54
is, is, you know, there is a different perception about women
4:00
from men when they're seeing a woman walking around with a
4:04
compound bow. There's a whole level of respect
4:08
that you don't get that you know, when when you don't carry.
4:15
So it was kind of funny a couple weeks ago here at the local
4:18
archery range that I went to. The guy had said, he goes, uh
4:24
oh, she's dangerous. I laugh because I'm like,
4:29
really, Nobody's ever called me dangerous looking, you know?
4:33
He goes, hey, you're caring, you're dangerous, you know, you
4:37
shoot. You shoot somebody with that,
4:38
they'll know what dangerous is. Yeah, right.
4:41
Even the practice arrow that you know, it's got a little bit of
4:45
tip and it probably, I mean, it could puncture into the bales
4:49
when you shoot them. That's right.
4:52
It could still hurts. It could still hurt somebody and
4:55
yeah, I do shoot well enough. I'm going to hurt somebody so.
5:00
Even from distance. Even from distance.
5:05
The closer you are, hey, better watch out, better watch out so.
5:10
There's no turning back. Right.
5:14
So the drive was, I want to say, in some ways largely uneventful.
5:19
So very nice. Although I did pass by a semi
5:24
tractor yesterday that had traffic backed up in Arkansas a
5:29
really long way, both directions.
5:32
It was on fire by the time I got to it, it was pretty much burnt
5:37
to almost nothing but the metal uprights on the trailer part
5:42
itself. So I hope nobody got hurt, you
5:46
know, but but I had a beautiful campsite and I'm I'm so thankful
5:52
that I have the opportunity to, you know, I detour out of my way
5:58
when I go to theserecreation.gov campgrounds because, you know, I
6:03
was in the Smokies and it's just so beautiful to see the
6:10
surrounding area and you know, the air is so much fresher too.
6:17
It, it's just, it just kind of gives you some encouragement and
6:21
you and I still had some, you know, technology that I could
6:27
get even though I was down in the valley right next to the
6:31
little Creek that was right there.
6:34
But it you know, so it's easier to unplug when you can't get
6:39
reception very well. But it it wait a.
6:44
Minute your your your reception was inhibited.
6:48
Well, it is when you're on the other side of the mountain
6:52
compared to where everybody else is at.
6:54
So I was just South of Knoxville, but literally in the
7:00
foothills of the Rockies. But the all of the town and
7:05
everything was on the other side of the mountain.
7:07
So I had to go up one side and then come down the other side.
7:11
And it was kind of neat that just outside of the federal land
7:19
where this park was, there was a veteran that lives right there.
7:24
And he had a sign that said, basically to the effect of, you
7:31
know, I'm not a loser. I'm not a, I'm not crazy.
7:34
I'm a veteran. And I think that's really
7:38
important, you know, for us to think about why do we do what we
7:42
do on military broadcast radio? We're giving veterans a voice.
7:47
We're helping with the moral injury healing and recovery side
7:51
of things. And you know, like I discussed
7:55
with you last week, Jose and I did lots of ministering the
8:01
first week when we were at the VA Golden Age game.
8:06
And, you know, we, we both had a, a couple of days in between
8:11
'cause, you know, he lives in the area where, where last
8:16
week's, I want to say it's a retreat, but it's a, it's a
8:22
adult camp, you know, common ground.
8:24
So he lives there local and was able to sleep at his home every
8:28
night. I was staying in the dorm and,
8:33
you know, getting to visit with other veterans.
8:35
The nice thing about that is that ministry happens in
8:43
different types of settings, so one was all about that
8:47
competition side of things last week at Common Ground.
8:52
We're meeting people where they are and enjoying things for I
8:58
want to say like entertainment and you know, finding a hobby.
9:04
How do you enjoy life when you're sitting at home?
9:08
Not going to the gym, but when you're sitting at home, maybe
9:11
learning how to play the guitar or make jewelry?
9:15
Cause Betty was making jewelry. We took the wine tasting class
9:19
together. Jose came and sat in.
9:22
Tyler was up there with us as well.
9:25
And you know, the neat thing is a because of our military
9:28
experiences, we have been exposed to different wines in
9:34
Germany. You know, like I was able to
9:36
talk about Sperlezza, you know, which is a type of wine in the
9:41
Riesling family. It's a Riesling Sperlezza is a
9:45
really tasty wine. So, you know, when you were
9:49
enjoying these things and we you learning to appreciate the
9:54
exposures in the military that we've had, then it kind of makes
10:00
that healing and trauma, you know, the trauma healing and
10:03
recovery side of things. You find that niche of, you
10:08
know, maybe I'm a little bit, I know a little bit more about
10:11
some worldly things than what I thought the cultural exposure is
10:17
a little bit more broadened than what somebody might get if
10:20
they'd never left Texas or Maryland or Delaware or, you
10:23
know, Timbuktu, Oklahoma, you know.
10:28
So ANYWAYS, it's. Or or BFE.
10:32
Yeah, true. So how was your week been?
10:40
Eva, I'm just being obedient. Being obedient.
10:50
It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's a difficult
10:52
trail for most people, but not for me.
10:56
I, I, I know what it is. And you, you, you go do it.
11:00
But here's some fascinating facts.
11:03
So, you know, I told you, I'm getting these resonance and
11:06
things out of the way. And the more I'm, and the more
11:09
I'm doing that, the more I'm really learning about the
11:12
essence of caregiving. Because you live it every day
11:17
too. People ought to know that you
11:20
are living the caregiver life. Yeah, yeah.
11:26
And it's, it's not getting any particularly better for her, but
11:35
it's, it's stable where she can take care of herself.
11:40
She knows who she is. She knows who I am certainly.
11:43
And there's been no major accidents or anything like that.
11:47
But nonetheless, she's been reduced to where she is now.
11:52
I'm so sorry. You know, I've been through that
11:56
side of things and it's not easy, you know, Sorry guys, I'm
12:01
uncomfortable. All that sitting the last, you
12:05
know, three days, I'm like my back is just not.
12:10
Yeah, it's not coming. So wait a minute, you're going,
12:12
you're going to go get it cracked at some point, aren't
12:14
you? It's pending, right?
12:17
Cracked. Yeah, you're going to
12:18
chiropractor, massage therapist, you're.
12:20
Going to Oh well, I definitely need to go see the massage
12:24
therapist. It's been about 3 weeks.
12:27
Was I, I think I was supposed to have had a chiropractor
12:30
appointment earlier today and. Yeah, right.
12:34
Whoops. Yeah, life, yeah, life happens
12:37
and yeah, yeah, whoops. Well, and.
12:42
And, and everybody, Eva also has been very thrifty in her time
12:46
today, you know, she's a. I'm almost an I'm almost an
12:53
empty nester, not quite an empty nester, but I have a new empty
12:58
room in my house and so I can move furniture and stuff around.
13:05
I can, you know, re appropriate where things go and you know,
13:11
it's not school because I gave my daughter a couch that had in
13:14
my bedroom. Yes, my bedroom is big enough
13:17
for a couch and a king size bed and a whole bunch of furniture,
13:20
but you? Better you better stop even the
13:22
brothers going to be inquiring them I'm.
13:24
Trying to do that no, but I but I vacuumed and shampooed both
13:31
rooms today, my room and the room that used to be my
13:35
daughter's room. So it feels you know there's
13:39
nothing like the smell of clean carpet.
13:43
You know, just really fresh and clean carpet.
13:46
So I I'm did. You have your own.
13:51
Did you have your own mix of things or you do carpet fresh or
13:55
what did you use? No.
13:57
So I use Melaleuca. I have and I have a shampooer
14:02
already. I guess I'm, I'm bougie like
14:05
that. I have a carpet shampoo.
14:07
You you, you know when you have kids and you have dogs, you know
14:12
have the. Shampoos it's.
14:14
An investment? Yeah, it's an investment.
14:17
And I'm bougie too. I got 1.
14:21
You know, I don't care about bougie being bougie, Sedini.
14:24
I sure do have one. It it is what it is.
14:27
You just learn how to be smart. It's and it's so much more
14:30
convenient than trying to go rent a machine.
14:35
So anyway. I know you got it.
14:37
You got to go down there. You, you got the, you got it,
14:40
and then you got to take it. Out and you got to drag it and
14:43
load and unload and then clean and then unload and load and
14:47
then unload again. Yeah, I don't got time for that.
14:50
That's just, you know, my time is too valuable.
14:54
That that and they say it's 3999, but it's not.
14:57
Because then it's all the other chemicals and they want you to
15:00
buy all of their stuff. But I use the Melaleuca.
15:04
I really, really love the smell of it.
15:08
And I pretreated a couple of the spots with the spot cleaner
15:12
stuff that's actually designed for clothes to wash.
15:16
But I used it for the carpet. Man, it smelled so good.
15:23
I mean, yeah, I I think the next time when you come over the
15:29
house will look so different a rearranging things and yeah,
15:35
it's just going to feel clean and not just cleaner, but you
15:41
know, aesthetically that yin Yang kind of thing is going to
15:46
be more balanced. So anyhoo, anyhoo, it's already
15:53
1/4 after you want to lead us into prayer, please.
15:57
Sure, sure. And then the Father, Son and the
15:59
Holy Spirit, Lord, we are so thankful that you are our
16:03
Father, God, Lord and Creator. We thank you, Lord, for the time
16:06
that you've spent to us. And we thank you, Lord, for the
16:09
time that we spend with other people, with the word of God,
16:13
your Word, Lord, and faith, hope and love.
16:16
And we know, of course, the greatest of those things is
16:18
love. Without love, there's nothing
16:20
else. So those we take the time to say
16:23
thank you to you and we honor Christ Jesus, our Lord, Savior,
16:27
demon king. We honor the Holy Spirit with
16:30
who gives us words of wisdom that only come from you.
16:33
And we thank you Lord, for Genesis 40.
16:35
Or we get more and more into who the prototypical Christ is,
16:41
which is Joseph, and we learn to be more like all of the
16:45
patriarchs and the prophets and understand also we are those
16:50
people that we read and learn about.
16:52
We love you, Father, because you first loved us.
16:55
It's the name that is Christ Jesus and the presence of the
16:57
Holy Spirit that your daughters, sons, friends and servants.
17:00
We say Amen, Amen and Amen. The name of the Father, Son and
17:03
the Holy Spirit. Amen.
17:06
Amen. You know, it was so funny.
17:08
I was as I was messaging you and I was like, are we on chapter 46
17:13
or 47 'cause I think we were supposed to have 46 and then we
17:17
talked about something else and then we talked to we're supposed
17:20
to have 47 and then and then we talked about something else on
17:24
Chapter 47. So I think we did 46 'cause that
17:28
was. We did.
17:30
Went to Egypt. We did, we did, we did.
17:34
And and that's and we, we did. We did the lineage, we read the
17:38
name. Yes, I remember reading the
17:39
lineage and I was like, OK, yeah, I think we I did that one
17:42
already. But I haven't updated my YouTube
17:46
for for all of these episodes in between since I was last here at
17:52
the house. So anyways, we'll get that done.
17:55
I'll get that done here. I just thought that was so funny
18:01
that yeah, it's brain cramping. You know, we still get brain
18:04
cramps. It's OK.
18:05
It's fine. It's fine, yeah, But you know,
18:08
even 1% of you is betting a whole lot of folk in the world.
18:12
I'm just. You know, I try, I try, think.
18:21
I think it's showing. There we go. 4747.
18:25
Yeah, 47. OK, let me.
18:30
The New International Version Study Bible says.
18:34
Yes, Yep. Joseph went and told Pharaoh, My
18:39
father and brothers, with their flocks and herds and everything
18:43
they own have come from the land of Canaan and are now in Goshen.
18:48
He chose five of his brothers and presented them before
18:51
Pharaoh. Pharaoh asked the brothers, What
18:55
is your occupation? Your servants are shepherds.
18:58
They replied to Pharaoh, just as our fathers were.
19:01
They also said to him, we have come to live here for a while
19:06
because the famine is severe in Canaan and your servants flocks
19:10
have no pasture. So now please let us, your
19:14
servants settle in Goshen. Pharaoh said to Joseph.
19:18
Your father and your brothers have come to you, and the land
19:22
of Egypt is before you. Settle your father and your
19:25
brothers in the best part of the land.
19:28
Let them live in Goshen, and if you know of any among them with
19:32
special ability, put them in charge of my own livestock.
19:37
Then Joseph brought his father Jacob in and presented him
19:41
before Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed Pharaoh,
19:45
Pharaoh asked him, How old are you?
19:48
And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The years of my pilgrimage are 130.
19:54
My years have been few and difficult, and they do not equal
19:58
the years of the pilgrimage of my father's.
20:01
Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from his presence.
20:05
So Joseph settled his father and his brothers in Egypt and gave
20:10
them property in the best part of the land, the district of
20:13
Ramses, as Pharaoh directed. Joseph also provided his father
20:18
and his brother and all his house father's household with
20:21
food according to the number of their children.
20:25
Joseph and the famine There was no food, however, in the whole
20:30
region because the famine was severe.
20:33
Both Egypt and Canaan wasted away because of the famine.
20:37
Joseph collected all the money that was to be found in Egypt
20:41
and Canaan and payment for the grain that they were buying, and
20:44
he brought it to Pharaoh's palace.
20:46
When the money of the people of Egypt and Canaan were gone, all
20:51
Egypt came to Joseph and said, give us food.
20:55
Why should we die before your eyes?
20:57
Our money is all gone. Then bring your livestock, said
21:01
Joseph. I will sell you food in exchange
21:04
for your livestock, since your money is gone.
21:07
So they brought their livestock to Joseph and he gave them food
21:11
in exchange for the horses, their sheep and goats, their
21:14
cattle and donkeys. And he brought them through the
21:18
year with the food in exchange for all their livestock.
21:22
When that year was over, they came to him the following year
21:26
and said, We cannot hide from our Lord the fact that since our
21:30
money is gone and our livestock belongs to you, there is nothing
21:35
left for our Lord except our bodies and our land.
21:39
Why should we perish before your eyes?
21:41
We and our land as well, by us and our land in exchange for
21:47
food. And we with our land will be in
21:50
bondage to Pharaoh. Give us seeds so that we may
21:54
live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate.
22:00
So Joseph bought all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh.
22:03
The Egyptians 1 and all sold their fields because the famine
22:07
was too severe for them. The land became Pharaoh.
22:11
Pharaohs and Joseph reduced the land.
22:14
Sorry and Joseph reduce the people to servitude from one end
22:18
of Egypt to the other. However, he did not buy the land
22:23
of the priest because they received a regular allotment
22:26
from Pharaoh and had enough and had food enough from the
22:31
allotment Pharaoh gave them. That is why they did not sell
22:34
their land. Joseph said to the people, Now
22:38
that I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is
22:42
seed for you. So you can plant the ground, but
22:45
when the crop comes in, give 1/5 of it to Pharaoh.
22:50
The other 4/5 you may keep a seed for the fields and as food
22:54
for yourselves and your households and your children.
22:58
You have saved our lives, they said.
23:01
Maybe we find favor in the lot. In the eyes of our Lord.
23:05
We will be in bondage to Pharaoh.
23:08
So Joseph established it as a law concerning land in Egypt,
23:12
still in force today, that 1/5 of the produce belongs to
23:16
Pharaoh. It was only the land of the
23:19
priests that did not become Pharaohs.
23:22
Now the Israelites settled in Egypt, in the region of Goshen.
23:26
They acquired property there and were fruitful and increased
23:29
greatly in number. Jacob lived in Egypt 17 years,
23:35
and the years of his life were 147.
23:38
When the time drew near for Israel to die, he called for his
23:43
own Joseph and said to him, If I found favor in your eyes, put
23:48
your hand under my thigh and promise that you will show me
23:52
kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt, but
23:57
when I rest with my father's, carry me out of Egypt and bury
24:01
me where they are buried. I will do as you say, He said.
24:06
Swear to me, he said. Then Joseph swore to him, and
24:11
Israel worshipped as he leaned on the top of his staff.
24:15
These are the words of our Lord. Did you say something there?
24:25
I said Amen. Amen.
24:29
A lot there. Here, here we are.
24:31
We have Jacob at 130 years of age.
24:35
He, he, he knows that it's at any time he's going to be called
24:38
home. He, he knows this.
24:40
But God gave him 17 more years to be with Joseph in Egypt.
24:46
That's 17. When Joseph left 17 to 30, he
24:51
was in prison 13 years. So Jacob's thinking, it's all
24:57
over. That's why he was so enamored
25:01
and embraced Benjamin the way that he did.
25:04
Because I can't lose another son.
25:07
You know these other these other tenants the.
25:12
Rest of his sons, them cats with this one here.
25:15
He's by my side every single day.
25:17
You know, it's interesting, too. We don't know how old Benjamin
25:20
was. It's not it's, it's not spoken
25:25
of. He's a minor, minor character,
25:28
yeah. He gave the blessing and we'll
25:30
find that out in chapter 49 when he gave the blessings to his
25:34
son. We'll see how it was all lined
25:38
up because the the birthright, the blessing normally goes to
25:44
the eldest child. Didn't happen when that
25:47
happened, but we're going to find out why.
25:51
I thought there was a lot to unpack here.
25:56
You know, I think everything from a business model and I
26:01
don't know if you could see the business model side of things,
26:05
but I could. But, but this father son
26:10
relationship, the relationship between Pharaoh and you know
26:18
what he's allowing to happen with this family, you know, with
26:25
his family in, in Egypt, that he's, he didn't know these, he
26:31
doesn't know these people at all, but he knew who Joseph was
26:36
and he's rolling out the red carpet for them and.
26:40
And Eva, Can you imagine? Joseph looks totally different.
26:44
He looks like an Egyptian. Oh yeah, I would.
26:48
I bet, right? Because he.
26:50
It's probably frightening to see him because he looks totally
26:54
different. For Israel, Yeah, yes, yeah.
26:57
I mean, yeah, because he would be like, is this my son like.
27:01
He got on the eyeliner, He got on the eyeliner the mascot.
27:05
He got the garb on. And the language that he's.
27:10
Speaking And he picked it up. He picked it up.
27:14
Yeah. I mean, that would be, you know,
27:19
but the word that kept popping in there through for me through
27:23
this whole chapter, I guess really these past two chapters
27:27
was trust, the amount of trust that each of these characters
27:36
had to have been bodied. And I want to say really their
27:41
relationship with God. You want me to go where?
27:45
I mean, Can you imagine Israel? You want me to go where you want
27:48
me to go to Egypt? You want me to walk away from
27:51
everything I've known this whatever we've built, you know,
27:56
whatever he built with his family and his, all of his, you
28:00
know, concubine wives and all of his kids.
28:03
There you, there you go the. Concubine, right.
28:07
Well, I mean, yeah, all the ides, but to walk away from all
28:12
of that and then and then to have the the carpet rolled out
28:17
and now you're getting the best of everything.
28:20
You you get the best, the best property.
28:23
Oh, you know what Pharaoh says. Hey, feel free if somebody's got
28:28
some special abilities. Take care of my my flock as
28:31
well. Take care of my livestock.
28:34
That's a lot of trust. It is.
28:39
That came from the relationship that Joseph had with the
28:43
Pharaoh, and the Pharaoh's like, hey, if this guy is special,
28:51
then I've got to trust that he's going to take care of me and my
28:55
people. Right.
28:57
And you also saw, because we you read it, that Jacob blessed
29:04
Pharaoh. Yes, I read that.
29:07
Yeah, I, I saw that. I was like, wow, So Pharaoh
29:13
knows that there's something special about these people and
29:21
don't, don't tempt God by messing with them because it
29:25
might feel comfortable, you know, thinking that.
29:29
OK, yes, Israel's all of his kids are really, you know, part
29:34
of the ice. But there's something special
29:37
about Joseph and his father. Right.
29:41
And don't don't mess with them. Absolutely, Absolutely.
29:46
But I. Saw and we are.
29:48
And wait a minute. We also know too, because
29:51
there's a recurring theme. Eyesight lost.
29:56
So Isaac lost his sight. Israel lost, lost or was losing
30:03
his sight rapidly and when we go back and look at.
30:14
Oh, we just lost you. No.
30:17
When we go back, can you hear me?
30:19
Yeah, I can hear you. We can't see you though.
30:23
OK, when I'll do something, when I get when I'm done with this.
30:28
So when we go back and we listen to the story of Isaac, Jacob and
30:32
Esau, in some ways that happened to Jacob too.
30:38
He got tricked. He got tricked.
30:50
That that was me. Sorry.
30:55
You there. You there?
31:03
I am. Yeah, sorry.
31:04
I think, I think I barely was trying to rub some stuff off of
31:10
my mouse and oops, there it went.
31:13
It's OK. It's OK.
31:15
So we we see the Lord God has a sense of humor too, right.
31:19
That, you know, it wasn't, it was actually the chickens coming
31:23
home to roost with Jacob because of some things he had done.
31:27
And also he was being enabled by his mother, Rebecca.
31:33
So yeah, while you were out, you know, having fun in in Florida
31:39
Keys and such, I. I didn't go to the keys but OK,
31:47
I have not ever. Been to the Keys even even with
31:50
scuba diving and and jet skiing down in the keys y'all?
31:53
That's where I was going. I went and did a deep dive on
32:00
Rachel. Oh, really?
32:04
Oh my gosh, Eva, this, you know, you know, the, the, the
32:07
scripture's silent in a lot of areas regarding her life.
32:11
Yeah. This is a godly woman.
32:17
Well, I think. That he knew.
32:18
That he knew that from the beginning.
32:21
That's why he fell in love with her.
32:23
And I think it's why he mourned her so much that, you know, she
32:29
in some ways I think was his, his essence, right?
32:32
He, he, he was equally yoked with her and, and kept him
32:38
grounded. And I, I think, you know, when
32:41
you're looking for that partner in life, you have to look for
32:44
somebody that you're equally yoked in because otherwise all
32:47
of his other concubines were just for pleasure's sake, you
32:54
know, whatever business relationship that came of it.
32:59
I mean, because that's how they look at, you know, those that
33:03
culture looks at their relationships with women is they
33:06
are about producing children. They're not about, you know, the
33:11
real relationship between a husband and a wife.
33:18
Rachel. Rachel, can you hear me?
33:24
See me? You see both you.
33:25
Hear and see me. OK, Rachel probably wasn't as
33:33
angry as one probably would expect because her sister Leah
33:36
was in relation with with Jacob and Bill Hart.
33:40
And can you, can you hear and see me?
33:48
We can hear you, cannot see you. You better quit hitting the
33:52
mouse evil. I didn't do anything this time.
33:55
Hands are not on the desk. Sorry, but I am burping.
34:06
Yeah, I think we lost you there.
34:21
I don't believe that Rachel would be as upset as one would
34:25
believe because God was already in the plan with this thing.
34:29
And no, he did not sanction multiple wives and concubines
34:34
and marriages and such because it's it's you can see, you can
34:38
see the upheaval with those sons and their mothers, the heights
34:45
and all this going on, right? So God was the stabilizing force
34:53
in all of this? Sure, it takes a lot of energy
34:57
to manage those Ites too. Come.
35:00
On evil. Come on, come on evil.
35:02
You know you when we were first talking about this need.
35:05
To manage the. It does.
35:07
I think we're even seeing that in the world today, how much
35:13
energy it takes to manage the Ites.
35:16
And you know, I don't know, I probably get in trouble with.
35:22
That all all all all the mice and and you know what the evil
35:29
we there are descendants of the ice still.
35:33
I I know that's my point, right? That's the point.
35:36
They're descendants of the ice. And the those cultures have not
35:41
changed over the years. They have not evolved.
35:45
I was reading something earlier today.
35:49
Now don't quote me if it's a statistic for real, but the
35:54
assumption to some degree is that it is true.
35:59
And and the the comment was that the a lot of the Muslim people,
36:09
men are bisexual because they are they see having physical
36:18
relationships with women only as a delivery mechanism to keep
36:24
their population going. But they but they have these
36:28
relationships with other men. Although gay relationships are
36:34
frowned upon, they are quite OK with having relationships with
36:40
young boys. And I was like, OK, this is the
36:46
ice. This is the ice.
36:50
And and, you know, that's hard to think that we have not
36:58
evolved over the years or maybe the, you know, the whole Sodom
37:03
and Gomorrah stuff that we have read about already is still
37:08
being propagated in other organizations because they're
37:16
not religions. They are, you know, a culture
37:20
that think that it's OK and yet women are being subservient.
37:28
And, and I'm going to segue real fast because, you know, there
37:33
was something, there was something I, I, I sent you the
37:36
other day. Remember, we, we talked about
37:40
the Southern Baptist Convention and I was like, man, this is
37:44
looking like a slippery slope. What are they going to do next?
37:48
Take away the woman's right to vote?
37:51
And don't you know, folks, that's exactly what I saw on a
37:56
post that there is a proposition afoot to take away women's right
38:04
to vote and relegate it to one vote per household.
38:14
We can the other. Way.
38:16
Oh my. God.
38:18
And I was like, yeah, I didn't want to be right on that one.
38:22
I didn't want to be right. We're waiting for Daryl to come
38:31
back on. You know, folks, I don't, I
38:35
don't like being right on these things.
38:38
I don't like being what is the word?
38:42
I don't like being prophetic and it, you know, it kind of feels
38:50
like I was being prophetic on that one.
38:53
But that I, but I told you, I, I, I said that about what's
38:58
next. They're going to take away our
39:00
right to vote. That was over a month ago,
39:03
right? And to see that article that,
39:08
yes, there is a proposition out there to take our vote away.
39:16
Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, Eva.
39:18
Eva. But you, you have a lot of
39:20
strong women in leadership now that that would be a battle of
39:24
epic proportions. Right.
39:27
I mean, that's a whole different kind of so.
39:29
Many Nancy Pelosi may come back. Nancy Pelosi may come back in
39:33
some capacity. Love, love, dislike or hate her,
39:40
She going. You know what?
39:44
You're bringing up something that's that's, that's very, very
39:47
potent. It's very powerful.
39:49
Women had to fight that. People, Women, women bled sweat.
39:56
Yes, we have been bleeding for this country since the birth of
40:00
our country. I don't know if you realize that
40:05
or not, but women have been serving our country.
40:09
They have found their breasts and dressed as men, cut their
40:13
hair, hid their female identity. We have been fighting for our
40:18
country since before it was even born.
40:25
We can't hear or see you again. So, you know, you think about
40:33
the, you know, I feel like I know we're kind of off topic in
40:38
a way from Chapter 47, but you mentioned this about Rachel and
40:45
the relationship that she had with Joseph.
40:50
And we have these underlying issues about, you know, the
40:56
impact that women have had in the Bible and on society.
41:03
It still becomes very relevant because I guarantee you, and we
41:07
don't know, you know, Joseph's wife.
41:10
I'm assuming he's married. OK, she was, she was a heathen.
41:15
She was an idolatrous. OK.
41:18
But she's not. She's not talked about.
41:21
In here that she was given to him as a wife and they had two
41:25
children, Vanessa and Ephraim. Yes.
41:28
But but her. Name was Shara.
41:30
OK. And.
41:31
Now look at that name really closely, because when we get to,
41:34
when we get, when we get to the Kings and the Chronicles, you go
41:39
see the name. It's S it's, it's, it's a
41:41
combination of what you're going to read about those, the Shara
41:44
poles. That's like, I didn't understand
41:49
what you said. I'm sorry, say that.
41:50
Again. So the Shara Poles were like
41:52
pornographic idolatry. Things you could do.
41:58
Oh, that's right, because she was supposed to be the daughter
42:02
of like a priest or something, right?
42:09
Oh, you froze if I remember what chapter 45 or something right.
42:17
He had he was given the daughter of a priest to Mary.
42:22
Any who does that sound right? She she was the daughter of a
42:29
priest, right? Yes, yes.
42:34
And she was given to Joseph as his wife.
42:38
OK. So listen, Joseph, if we really
42:43
look at this closely, there's the purity of Christ there.
42:46
Joseph was a virgin. He was a male virgin being given
42:55
as a husband to someone. We don't know what the other
42:58
woman's sexual proclivities were, but we know that Joseph
43:02
had her as a wife. They had two children, right?
43:05
She was a daughter of a priestess of a priest.
43:08
I'm sorry, but we also know there was idolatry and magical
43:13
work and wizardry and and those things too.
43:16
So, and that doesn't surprise me.
43:18
I was listening to the House of David as I drove and I think
43:25
that was who was there was one of the characters, Saul, Saul's
43:31
wife was into the magic side of things and you know it.
43:36
Never. I just did never dawn on to me
43:39
how much the dark side was right there in these, in these
43:47
relationships with some people who were very much, you know, in
43:53
God's favor. But mom, it's the same thing.
43:56
I know today that they're, they're trying to take them
44:00
down. Yes, yeah.
44:03
But they're there to, to be a distractor to take these people
44:09
down. You know, I, I mean, just, it's,
44:13
you know, you, you think about what's the antagonist side of
44:18
things. They need somebody who's going
44:21
to lower the good person, take them down a peg and distract
44:25
them from the life that they're supposed to leave supposed to
44:30
live. But I say that in context with
44:34
what the NIV note here says for verses one through 6, Joseph's,
44:41
Joseph's faithfulness affected his entire family when he was in
44:47
the pit and in prison. Joseph must have wondered about
44:52
his future. And instead of despairing, he
44:55
faithfully obeyed God and did what was right.
44:59
And here's where we're seeing all the exciting results, you
45:02
know, and I think that for a lot of people as they go through
45:07
trials in life, you have to think about whether you're you
45:13
are being faithful like God wants you to be.
45:16
And don't allow yourself to get sucked into the suck the muck
45:22
and and crawl through, you know, realize that you're going to
45:27
crawl through and get out. But just because you're getting
45:31
dragged through these things and you have some, you know, bad
45:35
characters in your life trying to distract you, don't let that
45:39
distract you from what your real purpose is.
45:42
You got to keep moving forward on the on the plan that God has
45:47
you on on their on his path. We can hear, but we cannot see
45:56
you. If Joseph had not been obedient
46:01
to God. Yep.
46:03
We won't be hearing the story the way we're hearing it.
46:06
Oh, for sure, for sure was trying to Oh, so I wanted to
46:12
make sure because we don't have much time left go.
46:16
And evil go and. Speak on it getting getting in,
46:20
getting into 29 through 31. So this is where Jacob and
46:27
Joseph are having this conversation about, you know,
46:32
Jacob slash Israel recognizes his time on earth is not too
46:39
long and he he makes Joseph promise.
46:47
And, and the description that they talked about in here is
46:51
putting a hand under the thigh was a sign of making a promise,
46:56
much like shaking hands. Today Jacob had Joseph promise
47:01
to bury him in his homeland. A few things were written in
47:05
this culture. So a person's word carried as
47:08
much force as a written contract does today.
47:12
People today seem to find it easy to say I didn't mean that.
47:17
God's people, however, are to speak the truth and live the
47:20
truth. Let your words be as binding as
47:24
a written contract. And I think that's really
47:28
powerful. Darrell, when somebody asks you
47:33
how you're doing today, there's two different types of
47:38
responses. You can lie and say I'm fine.
47:42
Oh, I'm. Great.
47:43
Oh my God, the world. Right.
47:46
Right. But do you dare ever say you
47:49
know I'm having a tough day? We do.
47:55
You and I do, You and I do. But how many people do you feel
48:01
comfortable in really saying, you know, I'm struggling today?
48:08
OK, here's the human and the mortal side of it.
48:12
As as much as we can profess our faith and we could deliver the
48:16
message of hope, faith and love. We're human and we're mortal.
48:20
We don't want everybody knowing our business, right?
48:22
That's. That's but we fake it till we
48:24
make it and. Right, right.
48:27
You know, that's a struggle though.
48:29
You say you have to at least have one person in your life
48:33
that you can be honest and say, man, Daryl, I'm not having a
48:38
good day. That's going to call you out on
48:40
your mess, evil. Yeah, right.
48:45
I, I, I'm not afraid to tell people I'm going to be that one
48:50
good friend that you have, whether it's you, whether it's a
48:55
few other people, I'm going to call you out on it and say,
48:59
listen, I got you. And and, you know, I don't mean
49:05
it in a negative way, but I'm going to say yeah, no.
49:13
There's no way. Hey sweetie, what's your what's
49:16
your phrase though? If, if not now, when?
49:19
Right, right. And if not me, who?
49:23
Right. If if I had, I have AI was
49:28
having a conversation with Jose, you know Jose from the motivated
49:32
mindset and he's had some differences.
49:35
He was telling this story and I didn't know he thought this
49:38
about me. He goes, he goes, he goes, you
49:42
know, when he's he said when he was going through different
49:44
things, he goes, what would Eva do?
49:46
I was like, Oh no, but he meant that as a compliment, right?
49:54
Well, hold on Eva, look hey y'all and listening and viewing
49:58
land. There's been some instances.
50:01
Not so long ago I was getting ready to push play and and and I
50:06
just saw Eva in the thought bubble and I didn't do it.
50:11
Thank God. Thank God.
50:14
Yes. But I'm going to be real with my
50:17
friends. I'm good, you know, I'm going to
50:21
be like Joseph and I'm going to I know God's got me on this
50:26
path. He's got me cultivating this
50:30
beautiful people garden and I can't fake it.
50:36
I, I, I can't, you know, I told you I ministered all the whole
50:43
past two weeks. While you were down in the
50:46
Florida Keys, you ministered. In Tampa, yes, I was ministering
50:50
all week long. You know, Jose and I both were.
50:54
And Jose said he's serious about becoming a chaplain because
51:00
he's, you know, he's got kind of a new different kind of
51:04
assignment and working with veterans.
51:08
And he, yes, he said he's serious about doing the.
51:12
Chaplain, as I told you and I mentioned to him, it's a serious
51:18
undertaking. It's just there, it really is.
51:21
And then when it, when it, when it pops and it scratches and it
51:24
bites him, he'll know. It'll be time.
51:27
It'll be easy from there. What people don't know about Eva
51:33
is is that and, she will just pop into your mind and and and.
51:39
Should I have people that pop in my mind too?
51:41
And that's a great thing. Yeah, I pray.
51:44
I pray when I when that happens, I pray about them.
51:49
Yeah. That's the people garden.
51:53
And it's not because it's it's it's an epic book of yours.
51:57
It's the reality of what we should be doing.
52:00
We should be cultivating everything.
52:02
You know, when my grass gets, you know, I don't cut my grass.
52:05
I have somebody that does it and do it right.
52:08
I didn't know I would cut it if I had to, But the reason I keep
52:12
them is because not only they cut the grass, but they edge it
52:16
deeply right. And, and they, they, they, they
52:18
really do landscaping, cultivate it really well.
52:21
And because I got the little, the Clover growing in right
52:24
there, I'm pleased with it. That's what we should be doing
52:27
with other people. But what happens is because
52:30
we're human and we're mortal, we're like, well, you know, God
52:34
to take care. God has sent you to do the job.
52:40
And sometimes we're messengers. Yes.
52:44
You know, we're messengers to people to help remind them and
52:48
get them back on the right path. Because sometimes we
52:52
inadvertently kind of wander. We, we go astray and we need to
52:57
scoop back, back over. It's OK.
53:01
There's a song by Jefferson's Starship in the 1980s, Probably
53:08
81. It's called find your way back,
53:11
right? All the other lyrics don't
53:13
apply. But this with the title find
53:15
your way back, right. We must do our very best to
53:19
return back to those judeo-christian roots that
53:25
pleases the Lord our God. Why?
53:28
Because the word of God is written for us, not for him.
53:31
It's for us. It is a it's a super fantastic
53:36
blueprint for us to follow. Well, you know, man, yeah, if I
53:40
just, if I just have something, I could just, you know, connect
53:43
with you. Can you connect with this even?
53:48
Think about it. Leviticus in numbers.
53:51
We're the same people they were reading about in Genesis.
53:55
Same folks. Same people I was, I was, I was
54:01
talking to somebody else the other day and they said the same
54:06
thing. I don't think they didn't even
54:07
know we, you know, we were radio show hosts and they started
54:11
talking about the people in Genesis.
54:13
And they're like, man, we're not any different than the people in
54:17
Genesis. It's like, no, yeah.
54:19
That's right. Somebody got it.
54:21
They got it. Somebody got it right.
54:25
Even Noah got drunk. Even Noah got drunk.
54:28
We're no different than them. Yeah, right.
54:35
Same old, same old, I don't know, kind of funny.
54:38
But you know, I, I think this whole thing about the business
54:45
model and we didn't really talk too much about this, but this
54:49
whole bondage side of things, you know, I get it to the point
54:55
that they were saving many people, but this is definitely a
55:01
big government model. If you think about it, you and I
55:04
both are in the public administration side of things.
55:08
And looking at that from our educational standpoint, that's
55:12
big government. And there is some scary stuff in
55:18
there that all of these people now are total servants to big
55:26
government because they own nothing personally themselves,
55:31
right? Think.
55:31
Think about that. Right.
55:34
There's danger in that. I mean, I just was like, Oh my
55:39
gosh, as I read that and we think about, you know what?
55:44
And your wife Angela and I both, you know, learned over at the
55:49
university at DBU is that there is nothing new that we are doing
55:56
that hasn't already been discussed and covered in the
56:01
Bible. And and I've read the Bible
56:04
before, but I didn't ever read it in this context of realizing
56:09
that's big government, this whole bondage thing and sell us
56:15
your everything and consolidation of everything
56:19
under big government is a dangerous.
56:23
It just happened here and it just happened here in 47.
56:27
Yeah. You, you had all these big wigs.
56:31
You never you never thought the family would affect them.
56:34
You had all these people walking around with their heads in the
56:37
clouds until the famine struck. And then when the money ran out,
56:43
because it did, it doesn't even tell you.
56:45
Recently I went through some I'm like, man, where'd that money
56:48
go? There's stuff cost, right?
56:50
When the money runs out, you have to liquidate everything
56:53
else. Right, but the priests didn't
56:56
need because they had provisions to cover them.
57:00
But those priests almost were executed because they didn't
57:03
tell Pharaoh with his dream. Imagine that.
57:07
Imagine that. All right, Well, let's go.
57:10
I. Told you our hour goes by fast
57:13
I. Know, right, I think we covered
57:15
a lot of ground and I'll go ahead and pop us into prayer,
57:21
OK? Please.
57:23
All right, dear Lord, thank you for gathering us all today.
57:26
The last two weeks have been very impactful.
57:30
There have been a lot of people popping in and out of my life
57:35
and I am saying a special prayer for all of those who have
57:40
participated in these events that you have gone back home,
57:45
you found some healing in in your adventure.
57:50
You found new friendships and relationships and I pray for
57:54
each of them to have some healing that the whatever moral
58:00
trauma they may have experienced before, they now feel the
58:06
healing and recovery side. And thank you, father, for the
58:11
opportunity to get to minister and meet with all of these
58:16
different people. This is, I feel very blessed
58:19
that you bestowed this honor to me and thank you for the safe
58:26
travels that we've all experienced.
58:29
And that whatever our next steps are, that you give us the great
58:35
opportunity to keep serving others and just share your love
58:41
and hope and faithfulness as Joseph has exhibited that we are
58:46
embodying that same spirit and working with others in an hour
58:51
in our people garden. Thank you for this honor and
58:54
this privilege to be a voice with MBR, and thank you for this
59:02
opportunity to serve. In your name we pray.
59:04
Amen. Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
59:06
Amen. Everybody was nice today, Eve.
59:10
I got to get on the zoom right after this, OK.
59:12
