Laura Perry Smalts: Population Control Driving Global LGBTQ Deception (Replay) · Worldview Matters With David Fiorazo

0:00
Welcome to World View Matters, discussing controversial issues, discerning current events,
0:10
defending biblical Christianity.
0:13
No topic, off limits.
0:16
And now, here's your host, David Firazzo.
0:19
Hello, friends.
0:21
Thank you so much for tuning in, for watching, for sharing, and we've got Laura Perry
0:25
Smoltz back with us again.
0:27
We're going to talk about her book, of course, Transgender to Transformed.
0:30
Also, it's happening in the world, and it's kind of crazy.
0:34
The delusion out there will get her, take on a lot of issues, and get an update from her.
0:39
Before I forget, though, we're doing a fundraiser between now and Christmas, and I forgot
0:42
to mention these names, the last show we did.
0:45
So I just want to thank you guys, first for your prayers, for World View Matters, and
0:49
your donations.
0:51
James, Mark, and Jane, I think I mentioned you guys before, but double shout out, Stephen
0:56
and CME Valley, California, Nancy, Sherwood, Wisconsin, Tim, Nina.
1:01
We've got three or four states, we're trying to keep track of where the donations come
1:06
from as well, so let us know when you give, where you're from, and we will definitely
1:10
call out, give your state a shout out.
1:13
So, Laura Perry Smoltz, it was just Laura Perry, and then a year ago, she got married,
1:19
and now it's Smoltz at the end, but her book is called Transgender to Transformed, a
1:25
great book.
1:26
Ray Comfort has a little recommendation there on the top of the cover there, but anyway,
1:32
we want you to check that out.
1:33
That's her story.
1:35
It's in detail, and it doesn't hold back on some of the anguish and some of the trial
1:41
she went through some of the depression and despair, but she's a born again sister in
1:47
Christ.
1:48
She's got an amazing ministry today, and she's helping a lot of people in this trans madness.
1:54
Laura Perry Smoltz, welcome back to the podcast.
1:58
Thank you so much for having me on.
1:59
Hey, thanks, Laura.
2:01
First, any update on your end, what are you working on now, a book, a speaking, what
2:05
are you doing?
2:06
Funny you ask, because yeah, actually quite a lot is going on.
2:11
I am just getting ready to announce, so your audience is going to be the first officially
2:16
here this that God has called us in a little new direction.
2:19
My husband and I are creating our own ministry, which was not my plan initially.
2:25
You know, I enjoy being part of another ministry, but God has really given my husband and
2:30
I a passion and a desire to teach about God's design and male and female, why he created
2:36
it this way, why it matters, what it all points to, the fact that it points to the gospel.
2:42
And so we are in the process now of setting all that up.
2:45
I am still working with first stone ministries, who I've loved and is a fantastic ministry
2:50
in Oklahoma City.
2:51
So this is just God moving us in a new direction, but so we're excited.
2:56
So that should launch here in the next month or so, probably officially in January.
3:02
Okay, do you have a name for the ministries?
3:05
That has been kind of, it's a long story.
3:08
Okay.
3:09
But actually, we are just, we're really praying about the name.
3:13
I think we finally have that settled, but we're just asking a couple of people to pray.
3:17
So if your audience would just really pray for confirmation, I think we have decided on it,
3:21
but it's going to be a really cool story.
3:23
Once I can share that, but yeah, it was funny.
3:28
Go ahead.
3:29
Just a real quick thing related to identity.
3:31
The story of this once I can put that out there will be so cool because we,
3:34
the everything fell in place.
3:36
It was God's timing.
3:37
I mean, we had so much confirmation and God just bringing all the pieces.
3:40
The only thing that just brought, like put the breaks on this whole thing was we could not
3:44
come up with the name for many different reasons.
3:47
And we wrestled for like six weeks.
3:49
And it dawned on me yesterday.
3:50
God, you're setting up this ministry for people that are lost and they don't know who they are.
3:55
And the only thing we can't get done right now to set this up is the name.
3:58
And so I just felt like the Lord was setting up this really cool story to remind us of how important
4:04
it is of who we are and what God called us and what he says about us is really so much more
4:10
important than just this name we've decided we like to be called.
4:14
Yeah, you are also featured in the documentary in his image.
4:20
Was that somewhat of a catalyst to leading you down this new direction to or no?
4:27
Well, I had really started before that before I was at first on ministries.
4:31
Very early on, I had a few opportunities to share my story publicly.
4:35
And I knew probably within a few months maybe a year that God had really called me to be a speaker
4:42
and to travel and speak.
4:43
But I had this vision of going around and doing this with a husband.
4:46
But this is years before I met Perry.
4:50
And I've loaded out at staffing one day once I was on staff at first.
4:55
And I've loaded out.
4:56
I said, I think God wants me to teach about marriage.
5:00
That kind of scoffed and I was like, okay, you got to be married before you talk about marriage.
5:03
But I realized that God was not, it wasn't so much the typical like marital advice so much.
5:09
I mean, that's good and definitely necessary.
5:12
I realized marriage is such a challenge, you know, in some ways.
5:16
But really teaching about God's design of marriage, his design of male and female
5:21
and understanding that has helped Perry and I a lot to understand our differences
5:27
and to understand the way we think differently.
5:29
And the way that learning to relate and see that as strengths rather than
5:33
trying to make the other like us and trying to let it pull against us.
5:37
We're allowing it to strengthen us.
5:41
Before we get into some of these stories, I've got articles.
5:45
I've been just looking the headlines.
5:46
There is possibly some encouraging news with a shocking Gen Z
5:51
poll on marriage and what they believe now regarding same sex marriage.
5:55
But the whole, the bottom line is rejecting God.
5:59
The human beings were created in his image, male and female.
6:05
And he's got a divine order, marriage, family and then society.
6:11
You know, you've got to have the proper order.
6:13
Otherwise we're, we'll have what we're getting now chaos.
6:17
This is what we're seeing now, chaos, confusion, delusion.
6:22
Laura, from a biblical perspective, once you get away from that,
6:26
it's not surprising what we're seeing today.
6:29
And they are lost.
6:31
They're confused.
6:33
Most of these people, maybe I'm guessing, have never heard the gospel.
6:36
Some have rejected it and are, you know, proud atheists or whatever.
6:40
But your thoughts before we get into some of these stories and articles and get your take on those.
6:46
Absolutely.
6:46
I mean, it's like, there's a foundation of the Word of God
6:51
and the way he created us and designed us revealed in the Word of God.
6:54
And if you take that away, it's like the bottom falls out.
6:57
And then you're just in this continual downward spiral into more and more on truth and more and more chaos.
7:04
And it's like it never stops anywhere.
7:07
You think you can stop at this place, but there's always further delusion
7:10
because you have to keep overriding the truth.
7:13
Yes.
7:13
And I remember getting so desperate toward the end of my transition,
7:17
people don't realize the depths that I was grasping at straws.
7:22
I remember thinking of like, could I find magic spells that would turn into a man?
7:28
And I knew it wasn't real, but it's like, I was so desperate to make this real.
7:33
And I couldn't, I got to a point where I couldn't suppress it enough.
7:37
And, but I also believe that what you were talking about with God and then marriage and family.
7:43
And they, God has designed the marriage to be a protection for the children.
7:50
But often, I think they're most people that struggle with gender identity have,
7:55
there's been trauma in the family, there's been issues with parents.
7:58
Even if it's not an extreme trauma, sometimes it can be even just misperceptions,
8:03
but there's things that happen between parents and children.
8:07
Like in my case, where I really believed my mom didn't love me.
8:10
And that wasn't true.
8:11
But I was basing it on things I observed rather than trying to talk it out.
8:15
But I realized that we're all sinners raising other sinners.
8:19
God created us for the, the Garden of Eden, for this perfect world,
8:23
for where there was no death, no pain, no problem in relationships.
8:27
But we're broken and we're sinful people.
8:29
And when children become hurt and they're disappointed by their parents,
8:34
most of these kids do have issues with their parents.
8:37
But it's not because the parents screwed up.
8:39
It's because we're all sinners.
8:40
But ultimately, I think God created our parents to point to himself,
8:45
but unfortunately, we're following human beings.
8:47
And so that's why we have to point them back to God and say,
8:50
God is the one who will never fail you.
8:53
Amen.
8:54
Let's talk about Target.
8:57
We've talked about probably you and I, a lot of our guests.
8:59
We've talked about this in the past.
9:00
I wrote a section, maybe a whole chapter in a book,
9:03
2017 called Redefining Truth.
9:06
And in that chapter, I was talking about how they changed their bathroom policy.
9:11
And that was 2016-ish in 2012.
9:14
They already had an LGBTQ line showing that they're going after the children.
9:20
And it's not just Target.
9:21
It's other major corporations.
9:22
There we go.
9:23
Target's target kids.
9:26
But they go after children of the National Education Association.
9:30
They get it.
9:31
They're going after children at the youngest of ages.
9:34
It's not, it's the corporate world.
9:36
It's the media.
9:36
But let's talk about this.
9:38
Here's a new, I mean, there's so many of these.
9:41
But over at Libs of TikTok,
9:43
they expose a lot of what the left is doing
9:46
in the hyper-sexualization and depravity,
9:50
getting to our kids.
9:51
It says, remember when Target sold tucking swimwear for kids
9:55
and their sales dropped, stock plunged,
9:59
and they were sued by shareholders.
10:02
It says, apparently, they didn't learn their lesson
10:05
because they just hired an LGBTQ activist
10:09
to lead their multicultural merchandising strategy
10:13
and pride businesses.
10:16
And this guy's already threatening to, quote,
10:18
make trouble after laughing about the backlash Target received.
10:22
And there's a picture apparently,
10:24
Eric Thompson goes, his pronouns are there.
10:27
He, him, he's the senior LGBT QIA
10:32
plus segmentation strategist and pride lead.
10:36
And this is Target,
10:38
Minneapolis, Minnesota,
10:40
and you'll see the picture there
10:42
and you're kind of going, okay,
10:45
Laura, what do you do when we know these corporations,
10:49
some of them, like Disney, Target, they're huge.
10:52
They're not learning maybe Bud Light.
10:55
Maybe they learned a little lesson.
10:56
I don't know what is Dylan Mulvaney.
11:00
But what are your thoughts on this?
11:02
It's not surprising that these kind of people are being hired.
11:05
By them, that's their worldview.
11:07
But I've been encouraging people to buy-cott and boycott.
11:11
Buy-cott, you know, be a faith-driven consumer
11:14
and avoid these companies.
11:17
You can't avoid everybody,
11:18
but avoid the companies where you have a choice
11:20
to shop somewhere else, your thoughts.
11:23
Yeah, absolutely.
11:24
In fact, I don't know if I've ever shared this on your program before,
11:28
but in 2016, a few months before I came out of the lifestyle,
11:32
it was either 2016 or 2015,
11:34
but the American Family Association
11:37
came out with a boycott against Target.
11:40
And I signed the Target Boycott pledge
11:42
before I ever came out of the lifestyle,
11:44
because even I recognized that allowing grown men to go in the bathroom
11:49
with a little girl was not a good thing.
11:51
And I was still, I remember wrestling with this going,
11:54
I feel like I'm going against my own community,
11:57
but I remember the Lord making me decide.
12:02
And in fact, the Lord told me one day
12:06
that this issue was going to split the church,
12:08
and he said,
12:09
choose you this day whom you will serve.
12:11
And I remember feeling like,
12:12
even though I was still living in that lifestyle,
12:14
it was like, I chose Christ over all of that.
12:17
But we see these companies who are so committed to this,
12:20
and like you said, it's a world view,
12:21
but it's really their religion.
12:24
They are so committed to this.
12:25
And I've studied quotes in the past,
12:28
where there's been evidence that even when they're faced
12:31
with contradictory evidence to what they believe,
12:34
they still will double down over,
12:36
and they will find new information.
12:37
And then they start profiting and trying to get other people to believe it,
12:41
even when they know that this is not true.
12:44
And that's where the delusion comes in.
12:45
They know it's a lie, not everyone,
12:47
but a lot of them because there are deceivers,
12:50
and there are those who are deceived.
12:53
So the deceivers know it's, most of them know it's a lie,
12:56
but they're pushing it anyway,
12:57
because they're trying to make disciples of the leopards.
13:02
Really, it's demonic what they're doing.
13:05
We're supposed to make disciples, right, of the kingdom,
13:07
but we know this is a spiritual battle at its core.
13:10
Satan is absolutely pulling out all the stops
13:13
to try to reach children and to make disciples for him,
13:16
and social justice activists, and so on.
13:19
But we've got to take a very quick break.
13:20
When we come back with Laura Perry-Smoltz,
13:23
we're going to talk about Megan Rapinoe,
13:26
or it might be Rapinoe, and her final game,
13:28
it ended because of an injury,
13:30
and she ended up mocking the God she doesn't believe in.
13:34
That's next.
13:49
I hold in my hand a mug that you could receive
13:57
by supporting World View Matters between now and Christmas.
14:01
We've got a fundraiser going on raising production costs for the show,
14:05
and we're very thankful for all those who've already chipped in.
14:09
Again, if you want to check in,
14:11
go to worldviewmatters.tv.
14:13
You can chip in with a $25 a month donation to get the mug,
14:18
or anything over $200, $200 or more,
14:23
a one-time donation.
14:24
We'll send you this mug.
14:25
Thank you guys.
14:26
Again, worldviewmatters.tv.
14:28
It's our fundraiser between now and Christmas.
14:29
On one side, it's the name of the show.
14:32
And on the other side, there it is.
14:34
Keep speaking the truth about things that matter.
14:37
So back to Laura Perry-Smoltz,
14:39
let's talk about Megan, sad that she's so incredibly influential.
14:45
She is so lost, and she seems so bitter and angry.
14:49
Now, understand that because she doesn't have God in her life.
14:52
So she got injured, apparently the final game of her career.
14:57
And she ends up mocking God.
14:59
I'm just going to read this, it's kind of symbolic.
15:02
I'm in a post-game press conference.
15:05
She says, I'm not a religious person or anything.
15:09
And if there was a God, this is proof that there isn't.
15:13
This is so, and then she goes on a tirade of, you know,
15:17
cusses and she's angry and she doesn't get it all of a sudden.
15:21
You know what, the whatever.
15:22
And, but isn't this interesting Laura Perry-Smoltz?
15:25
She says, if there was a God, this is proof that there isn't.
15:30
So she's the God of the women's soccer world, I guess.
15:34
Or she sees herself as a God.
15:35
She's placed herself there.
15:36
She's created that image of herself.
15:39
And because something happened to her,
15:43
there couldn't possibly be a God then, because she got injured.
15:46
Your thoughts on that warped worldview?
15:51
Yeah, first of all, what a narcissistic point of view.
15:54
But also, it, honestly, this is the core of, this is a perfect article to bring up.
16:00
Because this is kind of, my name Perry's heart in this ministry,
16:05
is the fact that we were all created for the Garden of Eden,
16:09
for this perfect world where there was no sin and brokenness,
16:12
there was no injuries, there were no health problems,
16:14
our bodies were not under this curse of sin,
16:16
as God intended us.
16:18
But this world's broken and under the curse of sin.
16:20
And the reason that's so important to understand
16:23
is because most atheists that I've ever heard,
16:25
most people that turn away from the Lord,
16:27
these young people that are leaving the faith and droves.
16:30
I mean, and most of them,
16:32
it all hinges on doubting God's goodness.
16:35
And they say, if God is good, why would he allow this in my life?
16:38
Why does a good God allow evil?
16:41
Why does a good God allow suffering?
16:42
I mean, we hear this from the top atheists
16:45
and then they're repeated by our kids.
16:47
And I think the reality is this world is broken
16:51
because of the brokenness of sin,
16:53
our bodies are under the curse of sin,
16:55
that this earth is under the curse of sin and everything in it.
16:58
But God is ultimately going to restore all of this
17:03
to the new creation, to we are created as new creations
17:07
or a spirit, but our bodies will also be a new creation one day
17:12
and we will live in a new earth
17:14
where there will be no pain in suffering.
17:16
And so that's what's so tragic about this
17:18
is that she doesn't understand.
17:19
It's not God who created her suffering.
17:22
Evil is the absence of God.
17:24
Suffering is, you know,
17:26
and so I think if people could understand this concept,
17:31
in fact, Romans, I think it's Romans 2.4,
17:33
that said, is the goodness of God that leads to repentance.
17:35
So if people can understand the goodness of what he created,
17:38
what the purpose that he created is for,
17:41
but the value he places on their life,
17:43
that he came to this earth and died
17:45
and gave himself as our sacrifice to redeem
17:49
the brokenness of this world.
17:51
And there's another point in here
17:53
that goes back to the target conversation
17:55
about what are you supporting,
17:56
even when it comes to entertainment friends,
17:59
when it comes to sports.
18:00
Everybody has their favorite sports team,
18:02
but no one cares what kind of faith they have if any.
18:06
And I think that should be, that's a problem.
18:09
This should be a conversation we're having.
18:10
If there's an athlete in any sport that's using their platform
18:14
to say, glory be to God, I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
18:17
and it's because of him that I'm blessed to be able to do
18:20
what I do and train my body the way I did
18:22
where I can perform the way, you know,
18:25
I will, I will root for that person
18:26
and whoever team they're on above saying,
18:30
nope, I'm always this, this team's fan
18:32
for the rest of my life, that's idolatry.
18:34
I'll just be very plain and simple, that's idolatry friend.
18:37
So be careful of that.
18:39
But I just want to very sarcastic closing to this article.
18:41
This is over at redstate.com.
18:44
He says, surely what the United States really needs
18:47
is one of its national athletes insulting
18:51
over half the nation's religious beliefs.
18:53
What a rousing show of unity and respect
18:55
that will draw more viewers to a sport
18:58
that most people already don't pay attention to anyway.
19:02
I thought that was a great way, but that's another article
19:06
for a different time.
19:08
We'll follow up on that and see if she see what happens
19:11
if she changes her mind about God.
19:13
But let's see, all right, Riley Gaines,
19:15
she's one that competed against the male swimmer Lea Thomas
19:19
and he, Lea Thomas beat her in a race.
19:22
I believe that was in high school,
19:24
or in a no college, Pennsylvania, I believe.
19:26
So she's been a spokesperson for women's sports
19:31
and women's rights and trying to speak some sanity
19:35
into this allowing males to compete against females.
19:37
So over on her Twitter ex, she says,
19:41
what do you know, a mediocre male flipping to the women's team
19:47
and then suddenly dominating the sport?
19:51
And she's got a picture of this boy
19:53
that's dominating a girl's high school conference
19:56
a runner in California.
19:59
The runner's name is Athena Ryan.
20:02
He, Athena Ryan, finished first in a field of 55 girls
20:08
at the Coastal Mountain Conference Championships
20:11
and Santa Rosa, California this month.
20:14
And I just want to get your take on this, Laura.
20:16
I don't remember if we talked much about the sporting aspect
20:20
of drag or transgenderism or this confusion
20:25
that it seems like the world is just kind of going,
20:27
okay, we better go along with this
20:29
because we don't want to insult anybody
20:31
but there are women getting hurt in sports.
20:35
But this is, of course, running a different thing
20:38
but she's, he is still beating girls
20:41
and this could come down to scholarships,
20:43
a loss of scholarships for young girls and women,
20:47
Riley Gaines, God bless her for what she's trying to do.
20:51
Yeah, absolutely.
20:52
And in fact, this whole idea of men competing
20:54
in women's sports is ridiculous.
20:56
Even if it's not a context sport,
20:58
I mean, the horrible things we've seen in some
21:01
of the like boxing and context sports
21:02
and the way women are getting hurt is one thing.
21:05
But even in these sports, there's such an unfair advantage
21:08
because even if a male takes estrogen and blocks testosterone
21:13
that affects part of his body
21:15
but he still has a larger heart.
21:18
He has a larger lung capacity.
21:20
He has, or not larger heart, sorry,
21:22
but there's like some differences.
21:23
But broader shoulders, taller height,
21:26
stints or bones, different muscle composition.
21:30
And also just the entire body as I've studied this
21:34
and this is part of the future of our ministry
21:36
that literally the entire body is designed as male or female
21:41
and there's differences all over the body
21:43
and they've said, and some aspects are more
21:46
profoundly different than others
21:48
but they said in grip strength, for example, for some sports,
21:51
the grip strength is so vastly different
21:53
that they said the bottom, the top 10% of females
21:56
can only be the bottom 10% of males
21:58
because there's so much difference.
22:00
But in running and things, men have an explosive power.
22:03
There's a different composition of the muscles
22:06
and there's so many factors,
22:08
their feet are actually different in the structure.
22:10
So this is a huge unfair advantage.
22:13
Yeah, and I mean, aside from the word of God
22:16
and how we are created, male and female,
22:18
God's design, which you're gonna be talking a lot
22:20
about in your ministry, how God designed us.
22:23
There is science and biology that we are just casting aside.
22:27
Let's go to the next story
22:29
and this is what the White House is putting out,
22:32
whoever's running Joe Biden and his administration,
22:35
they're putting out this to support the delusion.
22:38
This is what happens when you politicize science.
22:41
So Riley Gaines, again, I got this off her page.
22:45
The Biden administration is pushing
22:47
to include trans-identifying males data
22:50
in women's statistics as it pertains to both health and crime.
22:57
And then this is kind of interesting.
22:59
The number of women with prostate cancer
23:02
and women who have been charged with sexual assault crimes
23:05
has increased by 1,000% in the past year.
23:09
And that's, I find that interesting,
23:11
meaning it's men, transgenders, right,
23:14
that are causing this or that,
23:16
though they're falling into some of these stats.
23:18
But Laura, we've got an administration,
23:20
we've got a government, we've got the media,
23:23
we've got Hollywood, the education system.
23:26
And of course, our own government is politicizing this.
23:30
They're pushing this.
23:32
It's a minority of the population.
23:34
A lot of us don't understand what could they be thinking?
23:38
What are they gaining from this?
23:40
Is this just the demonic aspect that it doesn't matter?
23:44
They're pushing it?
23:45
What are your thoughts?
23:46
Well, I think there is definitely a demonic force behind it,
23:50
but I think the true demonic force is not just
23:54
to make the LGBT or to promote that.
23:57
That's just part of the greater agenda
24:00
of destroying human life.
24:02
And so I think this is really about these people
24:04
that are really for depopulating the earth.
24:07
I mean, homosexuality does not produce children.
24:10
And even if you adopt, that still doesn't bring
24:14
a new life into the world.
24:16
You say, okay, some of these are getting pregnant
24:18
by the opposite sex, whatever.
24:19
And they're saying men can get pregnant now.
24:21
I mean, this is all ridiculous,
24:24
but you're still raising them in this environment
24:27
where you're giving them a very unstable home.
24:29
You're leading to more brokenness,
24:31
but you also have, I mean, abortion is
24:33
about killing human seed, transgenderism,
24:35
about making people sterile and cutting off genitalia.
24:38
And then you have homosexuality
24:39
about not producing children.
24:41
And I think this all points to Satan's ultimate agenda
24:44
to mar the image of God that does exist on this earth
24:47
to stop it from producing
24:50
and from ultimately destroying all human beings.
24:53
That is right on, right on.
24:56
That's what I like to talk about too,
24:58
because we need to explain to people,
25:00
here's what's happening.
25:01
First, the abortion movement.
25:03
I mean, we've got a Holocaust in our own country
25:06
that started over a hundred years ago
25:08
with Margaret saying her and others.
25:09
And you know, you mentioned same sex marriage,
25:12
homosexuality.
25:13
You're not going to procreate.
25:14
The Bible says, be fruitful and multiply.
25:16
It takes a male and a female to do that.
25:19
So you're not going to do that.
25:20
And then you've got euthanasia, which is really sad, Laura,
25:23
because five or six states in America
25:26
have legalized euthanasia up in Canada.
25:29
They call it made, M-A-I-D medical assistance in dying.
25:35
We've got transgender surgeries, as you mentioned.
25:37
They're going to be cutting off perfectly healthy body parts
25:40
and what other health surgery would you ever do that?
25:44
And then the vaccines, there's been studies
25:47
that women are struggling with infertility
25:50
and there are other issues when it comes to reproduction.
25:52
So you're right.
25:54
It is a population control agenda that's involving
25:57
all of these aspects.
25:58
And Laura, how about just some encouragement
26:01
for our listeners as we were in Thanksgiving
26:04
and Christmas season here for the Christian
26:07
that's looking at all this and going,
26:08
wow, we never thought we'd see these things
26:10
in our lifetime.
26:12
Give us a little bit of encouragement
26:14
and hope here as we wrap up.
26:17
I think it can be summed up in Isaiah 41st 8th,
26:21
the grass withers and the flowers fade,
26:23
but the word of our God stands forever.
26:25
Amen, amen, eternal.
26:27
The word is eternal.
26:29
It is also alive and active, sharper than any two-edged sword.
26:32
And Jesus, Jesus said,
26:35
I am the way of the truth in the life,
26:36
no one comes to the Father except through me.
26:38
And he is the same yesterday, today and forever.
26:42
Thank you, Laura.
26:43
We appreciate your perspective.
26:44
It's always great to catch up with you.
26:46
The next time we talk, I'm in Lord willing,
26:48
you will have that name for your ministry.
26:51
And hopefully you'll be going strong.
26:52
But thanks again, God bless you and say how to parry.
26:56
All right, thank you, God bless.
26:57
All right, Laura, bye-bye.
26:59
All right, friends, another great show.
27:01
Thank you again for allowing us to bring you guests
27:05
like we've been able to talk to them
27:06
blessed by the people that I get to share with
27:09
and I get to hear their expertise.
27:11
It encourages me and it stiffens my spine,
27:14
encourages my faith.
27:15
I hope that it does the same for you,
27:17
that these programs are informative and encouraging.
27:21
Lord willing, we'll keep them going.
27:22
God bless you and, as always, keep speaking the truth
27:26
about things that matter.
