Transcript
- 0:00Well, we got a question for our American mama. Dear mama, where
- 0:03fear mongering is everywhere, how do you keep your sanity and more importantly,
- 0:07how do you help your children navigate through such perilous time. Well, let's
- 0:10ask our American mama, Mama, Mama, and joining us now our American
- 0:26mama, Terry Netterville. This is a really, really good question, and
- 0:31I've actually had people ask me this, asked me this recently, So I
- 0:35haven't an answer for this of my own view, but I really want to
- 0:37hear yours. Well, I usually say I truly because a lot of my
- 0:43friends feel like we're at the end of times. Okay, it just things
- 0:46are matching up and they're worried. The fear is out there, and we
- 0:49hear things on the news all the time, and so it's like we are
- 0:53living in this world of fear mongering, so we ourselves are, so you
- 0:57know, we're at this level of panic in a way. We are definitely
- 1:00at Revelation chapter four. It feels like that for sure, but you just
- 1:03look at the evidence. Yeah, yeah, But what I feel because only
- 1:08God knows when the end of times is going to be. When it gets
- 1:12back and so my answer is usually I just speak from a heart, and
- 1:19I tell my children it is. It feels scary right now, but I
- 1:23truly and I truly believe this. Deacon Stephen. I tell my children,
- 1:29I feel like your generation is here for this moment. Our eyes were closed,
- 1:34we were not aware of everything that was going on for all these years.
- 1:37And I think it started during the JFK stuff. And but I tell
- 1:42mine there's just there's I empower them to know that there's something inside of them
- 1:48that was meant to be here for this time, and their eyes are open,
- 1:52and they don't like it, and they're going to turn it around,
- 1:55you know. Candice Owens she said this and I read. When I read
- 1:59this, I was like, oh my God. I send it to my
- 2:00family because I was like, this is what I'm trying to say. She
- 2:02said, for those of you who feel that we are in the end of
- 2:05times and that society has never been this abundantly evil, I want you to
- 2:08know that's always been this evil. We are just finally awake to it.
- 2:13Our awakening is the hope. So keep the faith. In the end,
- 2:16goodness wins. And ultimately, I do believe God is the ultimate healer.
- 2:22He will He's the ultimate determiner. He will win, Love will win,
- 2:25God will win. Right now, I'm just we're at this impatient stage of
- 2:30hurry, please hurry. But that's kind of what my take. I try
- 2:36to empower the next generation to know you don't have to just let this go.
- 2:40You can battle back. And we are battling back. We were talking
- 2:44about that Oliver Anthony, Oliver, Oliver Anthony, the Redheaded from Virginia,
- 2:51you know, a young guy, and I often think about, you know,
- 2:53I always said, gosh, we need to hear or we need our
- 2:55David, we need our Elijah, we need we need people to come we
- 3:00trump, we need a hero. And what I'm discovering more and more is
- 3:04we are the David's, we are the Elijahs. We collectively are the ones
- 3:09that are supposed to save this universe, this world that we're living in,
- 3:14and we're seeing it in little pieces with this guy, with you know,
- 3:17kids that come forward that are unafraid, they're unafraid to speak their truth.
- 3:22With some of the celebrities like Ice Cube, this is able to say things
- 3:24and not worry about being canceled. So I thought, oh my god,
- 3:29we are the ones. Why am I waiting for a hero? And I
- 3:32am it. You're exactly right on a lot of this, and it's coming
- 3:38from a place of faith, right, right, So for me answering this
- 3:42question, it has to begin with a place of faith that even if you're
- 3:46concerned about the end of times, right people are, Oh, there's just
- 3:51evidence all around. You've got all these Roman fools around. And by that
- 3:54I mean, as it says in Romans professing themselves to be wise, they
- 3:58become fools. We have a whole bunch of people think they're wise who just
- 4:00are absolutely idiots, ignorant. But if you really focus on all we are
- 4:05in revelation. Okay, but if you are a believer, if you are
- 4:10in the faith, you don't go through the worst part of revelations. You
- 4:14don't go through that. Yeah, So that's you don't have to worry about
- 4:16the monsters on the ground and the horsemen and all that. You're not you're
- 4:19not gonna be here for that. You're you're gone. Congratulations, you get
- 4:24their early ticket. But in the meantime, people are struggling, that's right,
- 4:28and they're having a hard time on the ground. They're trying to feed
- 4:30their family and they have the news saying byonomics. You know, look at
- 4:34us where it's you know, we're being lied to, and so there are
- 4:36people here during this moment, during the it's almost like God's allowing this,
- 4:42Like he couldn't. It couldn't have been saved after the twenty twenty election.
- 4:46It had to be something that spiraled down so far, so low that all
- 4:49of us felt it collectively. Well, again, go back to the Old
- 4:54Testament. Look at that. Look at all the times in the Old Testament
- 4:56when you have God dealing with the king who who says does that which is
- 4:59evil in the eyes of God? And the kingdom falls and falls and falls
- 5:01until you get to a point to where someone rises up and does that which
- 5:04is he or there's does that which is good in the eyes of God,
- 5:08or you get a generation that rises up and changes that. That's a pattern
- 5:12you see over and over in the Old Testament. Well, if it happened
- 5:14in the Old Testament, why wouldn't it also be possible today? Right?
- 5:16Well, it is. You know, we're and the pushback is real.
- 5:19I think we all feel it. You know, it's just after the Jason
- 5:24Aldan and this olive anthem. You feel this uprise of people who are unafraid
- 5:28to retweet it or put it out there, or drive miles and miles to
- 5:31see this free concert of this guy that sings this song that resonated with so
- 5:35many of us. So we're rising up, and we are rising up in
- 5:39faith. We are Christians, we are God followers, and we feel like
- 5:43in the end He's going to take care of this. And if we know
- 5:46that, if we feel that the wind is let it go, that's exactly
- 5:50right. If you like to ask our American Mama question, go to our
