  Hello folks, this is Princess. You are listening to the
• 0:04
  Millennial Mustard Seed podcast. Thanks for listening.
• 0:07
  Don't forget to share with your friends.
• 0:11
  That's tough. We're in a very tough spot.
• 0:13
  I think that what we're doing right now is a great benefit and
• 0:17
  virtue because it's an end around between this whole
• 0:21
  corrupt informational system, media system.
• 0:25
  We claim to believe in a God who spoke the universe into
• 0:28
  existence and literally raised himself from the dead, and yet
• 0:33
  we're not going to believe that anything else exists in the
• 0:36
  spirit realm, even though His word tells us that they do.
• 0:40
  Their bodies weren't permitted to go to sleep like humans do,
• 0:44
  and they weren't permitted to go to heaven.
• 0:46
  So they wander the earth. You know, I've seen the eyes
• 0:50
  turn black to unknown tongues being spoken.
• 0:55
  These giants would love way up in the Highland, the young
• 0:58
  Braves. The young men would hide up in
• 1:00
  the trees and wait for one of these 12 footers to come walking
• 1:03
  down the path and they would jump on them and kill them, drag
• 1:07
  them back to the village and the village would feast on the body
• 1:09
  freedom. Then people start to get
• 1:16
  weapons, they start to get armor, they start to build
• 1:18
  cities, they start to fortify their cities.
• 1:20
  Now God looks down and there's violence everywhere.
• 1:24
  The battle, this war that we are at, is not against each other.
• 1:28
  It's against these principalities and these rulers
• 1:30
  and these archons in the high places.
• 1:32
  It's really worthwhile to read the Bible yourself.
• 1:35
  Fear is one of the primary drivers of mind control because
• 1:40
  we have to take every thought captive and resist fear.
• 1:46
  You're going to have a testimony that is a justice case against
• 1:52
  the Kingdom of darkness. Welcome back to the Millennial
• 2:26
  Mustard Seed. Music This is Rod Smith,
• 2:28
  producer, creator, and crosscaster.
• 2:31
  Because I got an amazing crosscast episode for you guys.
• 2:35
  I had the pleasure and honor of teaming up with Scott Mitchell
• 2:39
  from the Bible Mysteries Podcast.
• 2:42
  Yeah, we had a really good time and it's a really cool way how
• 2:45
  all of this unfolded. But let's just say I had Ryan
• 2:48
  Peterson on a while back and he gave Scott Mitchell a shout out.
• 2:53
  At the time, I didn't know who Scott was or Bible Mysteries
• 2:57
  podcast that it even existed. Well, then Karen Wilkinson text
• 3:01
  me and she's like, I got somebody I need you to meet.
• 3:05
  She says. I feel like there's something
• 3:07
  here and next thing you know, me and Scott are on the phone.
• 3:10
  We had a couple a couple conversations that should have
• 3:13
  been recorded, but they were phone calls.
• 3:15
  And then we got together and did this cross cast episode and it
• 3:18
  is a bombshell, man. We really get into what I
• 3:21
  consider to be the crux of the issue.
• 3:23
  Some of the heart matters, some of the gritty Holy Spirit filled
• 3:27
  conversations that is, is really the good stuff.
• 3:31
  Let me list out a couple topics here for you guys of what you
• 3:34
  can look forward to in this episode, we talk about the
• 3:36
  ripple effect of divine connections.
• 3:40
  We talk about Scott's journey from professional musician in
• 3:43
  Nashville to what he's doing today and how that it's a
• 3:47
  fascinating story. Actually, Genesis 6, we get into
• 3:50
  Revelation 6, why it's time to get real, you know, redefining
• 3:55
  worship. And we talk a bit about the law
• 3:57
  of first mention and the cost. Of.
• 4:00
  Sacrifice, why religious frameworks are failing and what
• 4:06
  God is raising up instead. And the Occupy until the Lord
• 4:10
  comes. What does this really mean?
• 4:13
  Are we in a spiritually hijacked culture?
• 4:16
  Is the strong delusion and the spiritual famine and our
• 4:20
  discernment all on the line? I would say yes.
• 4:23
  And in this conversation, this cross cast with me and Scott
• 4:27
  Mitchell from the Bible Mysteries podcast, we have that
• 4:30
  hour and 45 minute long, amazing conversation.
• 4:34
  Man, we just flowed. It was an honor to work with
• 4:37
  Scott. I don't think this will be the
• 4:38
  last time. Lord willing, we'll be doing
• 4:40
  more projects, crossovers, and interesting collaborations in
• 4:44
  the near future. I want to drop a little bit of a
• 4:47
  gem here, Something I was thinking about that's a fresh
• 4:50
  revelation of mine. I'm going to put this out into
• 4:52
  the ripple effect. I'm not saying that this is
• 4:55
  Scripture, but it's just a take that I had.
• 4:58
  I never heard anywhere else. And so the idea of where the
• 5:02
  Bible says that the earth moans and groans, it cries out for the
• 5:06
  identity of the sons of God to be made known.
• 5:08
  I started thinking about technology.
• 5:10
  I started thinking about a cell phone, a computer, a laptop,
• 5:13
  whatever you have that you're listening, for example, through
• 5:16
  technology on a podcast like this.
• 5:19
  And I'm like, it's made of the earth.
• 5:21
  The materials that we use to make all of this stuff, the
• 5:25
  microphone, the headphones, the speaker, the cell phone, it's
• 5:28
  all made of the earth. And I started to think the multi
• 5:34
  layered effect applies here as well because as technology, your
• 5:39
  speakers, your equipment is as you're listening to this show
• 5:42
  right now, there's an Ave. which is active in this moment where I
• 5:48
  am one of many crying out for the our identity to be made
• 5:52
  known. And I just just fascinating
• 5:53
  little thing I thought of recently.
• 5:56
  I figured I'd share with you guys here in this kind of intro
• 5:59
  to this cross cast. All right, let's do some
• 6:02
  maintenance here real quick. You guys like share and
• 6:04

• 6:33
  into this episode. I'm ready.
• 6:36
  Are you guys ready? Let's go.
• 6:38
  Let's. Go
• 6:53
  Hello, I am Scott Mitchell with Bible Mysteries Podcast.
• 6:58
  And this is Rod Smith from the MMS, and this is a crossover
• 7:02
  podcast. Yes, this is going to be
• 7:04
  exciting. I think so.
• 7:06
  We are going to we're meeting up for the first time in on video
• 7:09
  and we're going to talk about each other's worlds in the Word
• 7:13
  of God right now. It's so cool just as a common
• 7:19
  point, like Ryan Peterson was on a few months back and he
• 7:23
  actually during the episode, we're having this like intense
• 7:25
  conversation, like really good, really good stuff.
• 7:29
  And he, he says, my buddy over at the Bible Mysteries podcast,
• 7:33
  Scott Mitchell, me and him were just talking about that.
• 7:36
  And I'm like Bible mysteries, like I love Bible mysteries.
• 7:42
  And it's so cool because Karen then text me a couple days later
• 7:46
  after I like, I was thinking about that.
• 7:48
  I released the episode and she's like, Rod, there's somebody I
• 7:50
  want you to talk with. And well, Scott, here we are.
• 7:56
  Yes, I'm well, praise God the the way these connections are
• 8:00
  being formed is clearly the Lord is behind it.
• 8:03
  And as a matter of fact, Brother Ryan Peterson is one of the
• 8:07
  reasons that I have a podcast and it was because he came to do
• 8:13
  a convention we called Declassified Bible Mysteries
• 8:16
  Declassified that he was our guest.
• 8:20
  That is how I came to meet Karen Wilkinson, who traveled to see
• 8:23
  him and meet me. And one thing leads to another
• 8:28
  and the next thing you know, I'm hearing about you.
• 8:29
  So praise God. I call it the ripple effect.
• 8:33
  Yeah, yeah. It's like, you know, God is
• 8:36
  doing these mysterious things where, I mean, the Scripture's
• 8:39
  just loaded with this, you know, God will have his way and his
• 8:43
  ways are higher than our ways. And there's scrolls, right?
• 8:46
  There's things that were called to do in this life.
• 8:49
  And yeah, the attacks are horrific at times and the
• 8:52
  distractions and the world is Lord, they're doing what the
• 8:55
  world does right? And we're inculcating for
• 8:58
  Christ. As in like, I see this pretty
• 9:01
  well, right? And Scott, you see this over
• 9:03
  here really well. Ryan Peterson sees this really
• 9:06
  well. So when we come together it we
• 9:08
  sharpen each other and and there's the humility and there's
• 9:12
  this joining of forces almost where it's like the kindred
• 9:16
  spirit, like how great is it when brothers dwell together in
• 9:19
  unity? So, ma'am, it's an honor to just
• 9:21
  get to chop it up with you on air.
• 9:22
  We've been on the phone a couple times, yeah, and we've had some
• 9:26
  great conversations off there. I remember even thinking, man,
• 9:28
  this should have been an episode on one of those conversations.
• 9:32
  That's true that it's, it's too bad you can't have like record
• 9:36
  at the ready every time you talk.
• 9:38
  You know that I've had text conversations with Karen and,
• 9:42
  and we've said we we need to stop and make this a podcast.
• 9:44
  You need to come back on the show.
• 9:47
  Man, so why don't you, you know, give us this 30,000 foot view
• 9:51
  from from my perspective, right? I know that you've been doing
• 9:54
  this for a number of years and you're reaching people and, and
• 9:57
  if I remember correctly, you do have a congregation, right?
• 10:00
  Like you are a pastor. I did so.
• 10:03
  Yeah. Well, fill us in on all of that.
• 10:04
  Like, how did you become the Scott Mitchell that you are
• 10:07
  today? Like, let's jump into it.
• 10:10
  You bet. So I'll give you the the
• 10:12
  Reader's Digest version of. I felt called to ministry years
• 10:17
  ago to start teaching Bible classes, which I did, and
• 10:22
  eventually that led to me moving to Texas because I started out
• 10:25
  as a professional musician in Nashville, TN.
• 10:28
  So my career goes way back into music and things like that in
• 10:32
  the 80s and I won't get into the embarrassing things that took
• 10:35
  place there. But once I knew that the Lord
• 10:41
  had called me to preach, a door opened up for me to move to what
• 10:45
  I thought was going to be the Austin, TX area and I ended up
• 10:49
  settling in a smaller city South of there about an hour called
• 10:52
  Seguin, which is near San Antonio, TX.
• 10:55
  Was traveling as an itinerant teacher preacher preaching Bible
• 11:00
  classes as they opened up and eventually a group where I lived
• 11:03
  formed and we decided to start a church.
• 11:06
  So we began a Bible church called Grace Family Bible Church
• 11:10
  in 2005. And I was the pastor of that for
• 11:13
  about 15 years. And during that time, you know,
• 11:17
  a small community and a small Bible church doesn't have a lot
• 11:21
  of outreach. You know, we don't have a lot of
• 11:23
  opportunities. And, and particularly when your
• 11:26
  congregants tend to be somewhat older than you Even so they're
• 11:30
  not as actively out there beating the bushes, so to speak.
• 11:34
  And so I thought, well, we need to get on the, the web.
• 11:37
  And I started recording my messages and it was very
• 11:40
  amateurish. And, you know, we probably
• 11:42
  weren't getting any, any kind of hits that you would think would
• 11:45
  be significant. But it got to the point where we
• 11:49
  were kind of dwindling. A lot of changes took place.
• 11:51
  We sold our facility to a charter school, but we rented it
• 11:56
  back to use that because we kept meeting.
• 11:58
  We only needed it on Sundays and Wednesday nights.
• 12:01
  So it wasn't really, it was just unoccupied most of the time.
• 12:04
  So it made more sense. And as all that was going
• 12:08
  through, I was just beginning to get pretty weary of just the
• 12:12
  maintenance and the upkeep and everything involved in that and
• 12:15
  feeling like I'm not getting the message out I need to reach to
• 12:20
  the more people. Not that I'm looking for
• 12:22
  numbers, but I was beginning to see how close we are to the end
• 12:25
  times. And back to Ryan Peterson one
• 12:29
  day, a man who is one of my dear brothers in Christ named John.
• 12:35
  And he would lead our singing for for hymns and things because
• 12:39
  he knew every hymn there was. And he came up and he said,
• 12:43
  brother, I, I want you to see my new favorite book next to the
• 12:45
  Bible. He handed me Judgement of the
• 12:47
  Nephilim and and it was a copy for me to take home.
• 12:52
  And I began to read it. And I thought, you are kidding
• 12:55
  me. There's somebody else out there
• 12:57
  that thinks like me and I'm not crazy because I was looking at
• 13:00
  Genesis 6 and I knew something was going on there.
• 13:03
  And lo and behold, we ended up reaching out to him and he
• 13:06
  agreed to come on. But what had happened was that
• 13:10
  book ended up making me think, you know what, I've got to start
• 13:14
  some kind of a podcast. So before I retired from
• 13:17
  ministry, we started Bible Mysteries podcast and didn't
• 13:19
  know what we were doing. And a a very long story to to be
• 13:24
  very short was I work in technology during the day.
• 13:27
  I help people with products, you know, computer products.
• 13:31
  And I got a call once from a person that I helped resolve an
• 13:35
  issue with their computer. And in the course of that they
• 13:38
  said to me, thank you so much. Oh, and by the way, as we were
• 13:42
  sometimes doing some of the steps we needed to take, there
• 13:45
  would be a a moment of waiting and we would chit chat.
• 13:48
  Come to find out this man was a musician and so was I.
• 13:51
  And when he mentioned guitars, of course we went off talking
• 13:54
  about guitars. And after it was all said and
• 13:58
  done, he said, listen, I really appreciate your help.
• 14:00
  And I know it may be a violation of your company policy, but may
• 14:03
  I have your personal e-mail to send you a thank you and a
• 14:06
  picture of this guitar that I had made for me from a local
• 14:09
  luthier? And I said, oh, of course I'd
• 14:11
  love to see it. That sounds great.
• 14:12
  And he did. He sent me a very nice thank
• 14:15
  you. And he sent me a picture of this
• 14:16
  beautiful guitar. And he put a little PS in there,
• 14:19
  Rod. And it said, by the way, I was
• 14:21
  the guy that started the AM radio show Coast to Coast with
• 14:25
  Art Bell. He was the producer that began
• 14:28
  that show, and unbeknownst to him, I'd been running in my head
• 14:33
  about starting this podcast. So I kept his e-mail and about
• 14:39
  almost 11 months later, I wrote him back and I said, listen, I
• 14:43
  don't know if you Remember Me, but I'm the guy that helped you
• 14:45
  with your computer. I wonder if I couldn't pick your
• 14:50
  brain about a podcast. I know you had a background in
• 14:52
  radio, but I'm thinking of starting this thing.
• 14:56
  And he wrote me back and he said, oh, I'd love to talk to
• 14:58
  you. That'd be great.
• 14:59
  I, I don't know that format, but I'd love to talk to you about
• 15:03
  it. That's when I called him.
• 15:05
  We arranged a day and I gave him the premise of my first show.
• 15:10
  Now you got to, if you know anything about the Art Bell
• 15:12
  show, Coast to Coast, they have every weird kind of call and
• 15:15
  guest on there. They talk about ghosts and UFOs
• 15:18
  and bigfoots and cryptids and all that kind of stuff, but not
• 15:21
  from a Bible perspective, just from a sensational perspective.
• 15:26
  And I began to tell this man when I called him, I said, well,
• 15:31
  I was thinking about calling this show Bible Ministries.
• 15:33
  And you can just hear him go, oh, he thought it was going to
• 15:35
  be about guitars. And he says, in fact, I'm not
• 15:38
  even a Christian, I'm Jewish. But tell me, what is the the
• 15:42
  premise of the show? And I told him the first episode
• 15:44
  idea. And he said, OK, I need you to
• 15:45
  stop. I want to go get my wife and I
• 15:48
  want her. I want you to repeat this for
• 15:50
  her. And so she got on the phone and
• 15:53
  I repeated my premise again. And she said, oh, you've got to
• 15:57
  get him on the show. And so one thing led to another.
• 16:00
  And he said, I've never heard anything like this.
• 16:03
  And you need to come on the show, which is now George Nori
• 16:05
  is the host, you know, so that's kind of what got the ball
• 16:09
  rolling. He said.
• 16:10
  Get you 12 episodes under your belt because as soon as you're
• 16:13
  on the show, you're going to explode and you're going to have
• 16:16
  a lot of people wanting more content.
• 16:19
  And that's how the Lord kind of opened the door for us.
• 16:21
  Just. Wild.
• 16:23
  Just to start the show, and we've been going strong.
• 16:26
  We're about to wrap up our fifth season. 5th season How many
• 16:29
  episodes are you in like we? Are at episode two 39239 which
• 16:34
  will be it was just released this Monday and next week will
• 16:38
  be episode 240 and that will be another interview with my sister
• 16:41
  Karen Wilkinson. Wow, interesting.
• 16:45
  I love the timeline stuff like like figuring out how all of it
• 16:49
  fits together because I talk with like other other
• 16:52
  podcasters, some people that are prolific in this space, like
• 16:54
  they've been doing it since 2005.
• 16:56
  And then other people that are like myself and you just more
• 16:59
  recent to it and kind of looking at the timeline because, you
• 17:03
  know, I joked earlier about the ripple effect, right?
• 17:05
  But there really is something to that, like what's being echoed
• 17:08
  out from heaven right now and how everybody's story matters,
• 17:13
  like how we got here right now, like it matters, like it's, it's
• 17:17
  important. Thank you for sharing that.
• 17:20
  That's a very interesting way that you got launched into this.
• 17:23
  You bet. And I'll I'll wrap it up by
• 17:25
  saying that one of the passages that I know you have referred to
• 17:29
  many times in your own show, and so have I, is Daniel 12 about
• 17:33
  knowledge increasing. And while often times the world
• 17:38
  looks at that, or maybe even Christians look at that as, yes,
• 17:42
  AI and advanced technology and mankind's, you know, getting
• 17:45
  ready to crack the codes on the, the human genome and all those
• 17:49
  kind of things. But it could it also mean that
• 17:52
  God will start revealing some things to his Saints that he
• 17:56
  didn't necessarily need us to know until now.
• 17:58
  And that's part of the knowledge increasing.
• 18:00
  So I think that's a part, a huge part of what you and I are doing
• 18:03
  here and would love to know about how you came to be a
• 18:06
  podcaster. Wow, just a comment on that.
• 18:12
  I couldn't agree more. It's super late.
• 18:15
  If we're living it out in real time, we're we're participants
• 18:20
  in what God is echoing out from heaven for this time slot, this
• 18:24
  experience that we've been given and that's that's just
• 18:26
  phenomenal. I mean, to answer that, I'm
• 18:30
  going to try to keep it short. There's so many things that
• 18:33
  happen and everything tried to keep it from happening.
• 18:38
  In a lot of ways. I'm autodidactic self-taught in
• 18:44
  this whole entire thing. I was computer illiterate when I
• 18:47
  came into the scene. So I was working at a location
• 18:54
  right outside of Philadelphia, PA and I still don't want to say
• 18:59
  the name of the company publicly because I'm on a a no compete,
• 19:04
  no disclosure contract with them for a certain amount of time
• 19:07
  that expires in the near future. But it was a good company.
• 19:13
  I shouldn't have gotten in. Although I feel like God allowed
• 19:15
  me to work there for a 10 year season and I had a supernatural
• 19:21
  life all of my life. Scott.
• 19:23
  Like I just not like overly dramatically supernatural, but
• 19:27
  there was like climactical events that happened where like
• 19:30
  I didn't need convinced that any of this stuff is real.
• 19:33
  I was more perplexed at why the world couldn't facilitate those
• 19:37
  conversations without the fake mask on, right.
• 19:40
  Like around the bonfire, people could talk about it.
• 19:42
  And then Monday they put their suit and their tie on and
• 19:44
  they're an accountant in Philadelphia.
• 19:46
  And it's like they act like a like it's a form of programming.
• 19:50
  Like it was always weird for me because I'm me in Walmart in a
• 19:53
  church, like wherever you, I'm just Rod, you get what you see,
• 19:57
  you know? And so it was always weird for
• 19:59
  me to handle that. But I had questions.
• 20:01
  I didn't grow up in the church, you know.
• 20:04
  I had a near death encounter. I had certain things that
• 20:07
  happened that busted the worldview for me.
• 20:10
  It made me reinvent myself in a more humble and curious way.
• 20:15
  And so podcasting for me, it starts with God was speaking
• 20:20
  things to me around 2425 years old about what I was going to
• 20:25
  do. And I'm like, I don't think so.
• 20:28
  There's no way nobody would believe me if I told them that.
• 20:34
  And he was speaking things to me.
• 20:35
  Like, you're going to use your voice to reach more people than
• 20:39
  you could count. You're going to have an
• 20:41
  influence. You matter.
• 20:42
  And like, I'm like, the way I grew up and everything I went
• 20:45
  through, I'm like, I don't think so.
• 20:46
  Just another number, a visitor for now, just passing through.
• 20:50
  If I'm lucky, I'll be told well done.
• 20:51
  You're full of forgiveness too. Like that was the full extent of
• 20:54
  my existence, at least I thought.
• 20:59
  And I find what's called CCR, Canary Cry Radio in 2017 and
• 21:06
  they they're diving into the Doctor Chuck Missler's, they're
• 21:09
  interviewing these people, Doctor Michael Heizer.
• 21:12
  And I just remember having that moment, kind of like what you
• 21:14
  said with Ryan, when when your buddy handed you his book.
• 21:18
  I'm not alone. There's somebody else out there
• 21:21
  like me. And I started to bite into their
• 21:24
  content and just go, I'm enamored.
• 21:28
  You know, my wife is, my wife is not from America.
• 21:30
  She's been here since 2012. She's a legal citizen.
• 21:33
  We went through that. That's a difficult process to
• 21:35
  all those illegals out there that I don't agree with.
• 21:38
  Do it the right way, guys. It's, it's difficult, but it's
• 21:41
  worth it. And she comes from a worldview
• 21:43
  that's supernatural. Like it's, it's a whole
• 21:45
  different, you know, experience. And so a lot of that challenged
• 21:49
  me too, where like she would cry and tell me stuff that she
• 21:52
  experienced growing up. And I'd be like, why don't you
• 21:54
  tell anybody? She's like, you guys play video
• 21:55
  games about that. You guys watch Netflix about it.
• 21:58
  But it's real to us, right? And then I would read in the
• 22:01
  Bible for myself and be like, man, this is here.
• 22:04
  And then I would start to look at my life and certain things
• 22:07
  that I experienced and be like, what is this sacred secular
• 22:12
  divide between experiential reality, or at least what we
• 22:18
  want to remember because a lot of us are trying to forget so
• 22:20
  much and go with the flow of the world.
• 22:22
  And I just, I made a stand and said, no.
• 22:24
  So the podcast was birthed in 2018.
• 22:28
  I actually started a show called Not of this World.
• 22:30
  I don't recommend anyone listens to it because it's like I said,
• 22:33
  I'm autodidactic, I'm self-taught.
• 22:34
  It's horrific audio quality. And it was just my way of, of
• 22:38
  stepping out and being like, OK, let's start this process.
• 22:41
  God, where does this go? And you know, 30 people a week
• 22:45
  maybe was was the Max listenership for about a year
• 22:49
  and a half with that show. And then I wrestled through this
• 22:52
  concept of I'm a millennial. I grew up on the cusp of
• 22:56
  technology becoming a thing, right.
• 22:57
  We still would had calluses on her hands and still played down
• 23:00
  by the river. And you know, we're just a
• 23:02
  little bit different than the iPad baby generation.
• 23:04
  And I don't mean that in an offensive way.
• 23:06
  I'm just saying that's the that's how the the things have
• 23:08
  unfolded in this time slot. And I remember being like, I'm
• 23:14
  small and insignificant. I have this little mustard seed
• 23:16
  of faith. And then there's a lot of things
• 23:19
  that are in opposition to this vision inside of me.
• 23:23
  And I wrestled with God about the name because it's a
• 23:25
  mouthful. I actually have like 60
• 23:27
  different bloopers that I don't really release.
• 23:31
  Sometimes at the end of an episode, I'll put a little
• 23:33
  blooper in there of people mispronouncing the name of the
• 23:35
  show. It's a tongue twister, right?
• 23:37
  Millennial mustard seed. And but God gave me that name
• 23:42
  and I'm like, everybody else has these cool names, you know,
• 23:44
  Bigfoot slays, the giant podcast or just making something up for
• 23:49
  comparison. But come on, there's these super
• 23:51
  dope podcasts out there with cool names and cool graphics and
• 23:54
  a whole team or an experienced person.
• 23:56
  I'm just some little old millennial trying to figure out
• 23:59
  how do I help my generation? Why do I feel the way I feel?
• 24:02
  Who am I really? Is God really who he says he is?
• 24:04
  Because I don't have a church background.
• 24:06
  I just have the Easter Christmas experience and the near death.
• 24:09
  So I have all these questions and I'm like filled with all of
• 24:12
  this, like veracity or just like I'm exploding with there's got
• 24:17
  to be more. There's got to be beauty that's
• 24:20
  just undefinable and and battles that are like epic beyond what
• 24:26
  Hollywood tries to portray to us.
• 24:28
  Like it has to be real. If it's not, everything's
• 24:31
  vanity. And so the podcast was the
• 24:33
  birthing place. The Millennium must have seed
• 24:35
  specifically was planned out for a year or at least the first
• 24:38
  episode in the very beginning of 2020.
• 24:40
  Actually, March 20th of 2020 was when I aired the first episode
• 24:44
  and season 1 and 2 are horrific because it's a growth podcast.
• 24:49
  I'm learning the cheapest equipment and rough start, I
• 24:54
  guess you could say. And we've developed into maybe
• 24:57
  like a four or five star show today, you know, and just
• 25:01
  focusing on asking the questions that are important to me, not
• 25:05
  holding back glorifying God, like remembering the climax of
• 25:09
  all of eternity is the risen Messiah who's come in the flesh.
• 25:13
  Like look, that's the center point that plugs all of this
• 25:15
  together. It's all important.
• 25:18
  And and here I am, Scott here is the Millennium and there's so
• 25:21
  much more, but has like a brief overview.
• 25:24
  That's just kind of a bit of the timeline of what it looked like
• 25:28
  for, I guess, me to take a public stand and just say I'm
• 25:31
  not ashamed. I'm not going to back down.
• 25:33
  I'm going to be me. I'm going to create a space
• 25:36
  that's safe to dive into content that I believe is important.
• 25:40
  Wow. Well, you know, what's
• 25:42
  remarkable about that is two things that stand out for me.
• 25:45
  One, you and I have a similar background in how we got started
• 25:50
  because I also was not raised in a church family at all.
• 25:53
  And #2 I'm going to ask you at some point if you wouldn't mind
• 25:57
  at least sharing some of the near death experience so we can
• 26:00
  get an idea of what brought you to that point that you are now.
• 26:04
  But you know, it's funny that I had my family didn't darken the
• 26:08
  door of a church growing up unless somebody died or got
• 26:11
  married, you know? Exactly.
• 26:13
  And around 1516 years old, in high school, my sister began to
• 26:18
  date a young guy that became a very close friend of mine, and
• 26:21
  his father was a pastor of a church.
• 26:22
  So I began to learn the Bible and I feel like even as a young
• 26:26
  child, I was interested in what, what you would call the
• 26:31
  supernatural. But in my mind, I was a just God
• 26:33
  as of the most vague concept, you know, And in my limited
• 26:37
  capacity, my grandfather was a Baptist, a Southern Baptist and
• 26:42
  a Gideon. So he would occasionally invite
• 26:44
  us to go to Sunday school. But I, I didn't, you know, I had
• 26:48
  no connection to that. It was just something that I
• 26:51
  might do if I was bored or if he persisted, but ultimately I felt
• 26:56
  like I I knew there was a God, I just didn't know where he was or
• 26:59
  who he was. And then finally, this Bible
• 27:03
  study began to introduce me to rightly dividing the word of
• 27:07
  truth. And even though for a while
• 27:09
  there I went in a direction that I don't feel like was as the
• 27:15
  correct path, it still taught me how to study my Bible and you
• 27:19
  can get into some dogmatic things and what I what I now
• 27:22
  call militant grace for lack of a.
• 27:25
  Better I'm not trying. To be unkind, I understand, but
• 27:28
  you when, when you put on your blinders, God will go, OK,
• 27:33
  you're not ready for it. I can't give it to you.
• 27:35
  When you're ready to receive it, let me know.
• 27:37
  I'm right here. And I came to one of those
• 27:39
  breaking points where I, I thought there's got to be more
• 27:42
  than I'm seeing here, Lord. And that's when things began to
• 27:45
  open up. So yeah, you and I have a
• 27:47
  similar thing there without a religious or family Christian
• 27:50
  upbringing. It's I mean, it's almost like
• 27:54
  kind of the the unexpected, the least expected to inculcate
• 27:58
  within the religious framework. God is kind of hand choosing
• 28:03
  people. He's like, you know what?
• 28:06
  You don't have 5 generations of of pastors in your family or
• 28:09
  strong dogmatic views, right? You want to know about me, I'll
• 28:16
  show you just a little bit, you know, and then that you're
• 28:22
  hooked, man taste and see that he's good and and it's the
• 28:27
  spiritual warfare is real, Scott.
• 28:29
  Like we really go through it and I tell people like I'm in the
• 28:33
  gutter. We don't have budget and team
• 28:36
  and like all this stuff. But God has allowed us, he's
• 28:38
  given us a grace to do certain things that I'm like, yeah, OK,
• 28:44
  there's no way I could do any of this unless this was I was
• 28:47
  called to like, literally, I should have lost my life a
• 28:52
  number of times. And it's crazy to see like how
• 28:55
  much he loves us and how much he's qualifying.
• 28:58
  And it's not like exclusive, like, oh, we're loved more
• 29:00
  because we're Christian podcasters.
• 29:02
  No, all of us are. But when we look at the calling
• 29:05
  of God on our lives and how we're supposed to work together
• 29:09
  to to complement each other, to honor each other, to wreck, to
• 29:12
  say, I see you, I see what you're doing.
• 29:14
  This is important, right? I mean, that's what I feel like
• 29:18
  fringe Christian space is kind of walking into a little bit of
• 29:23
  this kind of recognition and like getting familiar with, you
• 29:25
  know what? I don't want to be isolated
• 29:28
  because spiritual warfare is real.
• 29:31
  And the deeper that they go, the more that they realize, wow, the
• 29:34
  enemy is horrifically orchestrating a death module, A
• 29:39
  simulated death module of every effect around us, right?
• 29:44
  And I think we're in a period right now where we have the
• 29:48
  grace, like a reprieve almost. Scott is kind of like what I've
• 29:52
  been feeling for like about the last year to get her house in
• 29:56
  order, you know, to get the majors figured out, to let the
• 29:59
  miners be what they are and not let them be arguing points or
• 30:03
  stumbling blocks. Like it's so cool to talk about
• 30:05
  Bigfoot and meat. So it's meat suits, right?
• 30:09
  And nanotechnology particulates and all that, you know, Cloud
• 30:12
  seen. Like, I love those
• 30:13
  conversations. But at the heart of all of it, I
• 30:16
  don't have great answers. I'm broken in contrite most of
• 30:19
  the time. Things don't always go right for
• 30:21
  him. And I'm just crying out the God
• 30:23
  like, Lord, I'm still here. What are we doing today?
• 30:26
  And it sounds like I'm finding that kindred spirit man.
• 30:30
  And it you know, I do have to say I've been listening to a bit
• 30:33
  of your content, like trying to even get prepared with like how
• 30:36
  you kind of do things in a little bit of what you're
• 30:39
  putting out there. And I'm impressed, man, because
• 30:43
  God, God's given you the ability to reach people that I can't
• 30:47
  reach. Yes.
• 30:49
  And vice versa. And so crossovers like this are
• 30:51
  important, right? Because there may be some people
• 30:54
  that hear my testimony or hear what's going on over here.
• 30:57
  And that's I kind of opens the door for them in a way, and vice
• 31:01
  versa. So I really just want to honor
• 31:03
  you for this this time, and I'm enjoying this.
• 31:07
  Well, you as well, Rod, I'm, I'm so grateful.
• 31:10
  You know, it's funny how we, you know, we got introduced to Karen
• 31:13
  in a text and, and then I let myself sometimes get so busy and
• 31:19
  I fall behind. And then you just kept reminding
• 31:23
  me, Hey, I'm still here if you want to chat, You know, let's
• 31:25
  get that phone call going. And it's always feel bad about
• 31:29
  that because I do this with everybody.
• 31:31
  It's, it's not that I ever intend to ignore anyone.
• 31:33
  It's just that, you know, when you're running your podcast,
• 31:36
  you're trying to get everything done and you also work a full
• 31:38
  time job. Sometimes you have to put things
• 31:41
  back a little bit. And finally I went, OK, Lord,
• 31:44
  you must be telling me that I need to talk to this man because
• 31:50
  he's not giving up on me. And so I, I appreciate you for
• 31:53
  that. And then once we finally connect
• 31:55
  him, we had a conversation. I walked away and I told my
• 31:58
  wife, something's going to come of this.
• 32:01
  I don't know what, but God is going to honor something between
• 32:04
  us meeting and talking. And you know what's so funny?
• 32:08
  You mentioned in your own testimony just now about feeling
• 32:14
  like you always had a connection to the supernatural and that we,
• 32:18
  we sometimes say these things. God called me to this or God
• 32:21
  told me that. And while I've never, I've
• 32:24
  always been jealous of people that said God told me to do
• 32:26
  this. I was like, really, what do you
• 32:27
  sound like? Because I never get to hear
• 32:29
  that. I want to hear that voice, you
• 32:30
  know, And I don't doubt that they did.
• 32:32
  I just don't, I don't know that it, it's the same way with me.
• 32:35
  And it used to make me wonder what am I doing wrong?
• 32:38
  But then I'll think back and I'll remember when I got saved,
• 32:41
  which was around 20 years old. I was so excited about the truth
• 32:46
  of salvation that I, when we, when I got married and we bought
• 32:49
  our first home, I bought a lawnmower.
• 32:52
  And one thing that I felt like was really made me a true
• 32:55
  bonafide homeowner was I could mow my lawn, you know, and I
• 33:00
  would get in the backyard and I would mow.
• 33:01
  And of course, back then gas mowers were loud and you
• 33:04
  couldn't hear. But I would preach.
• 33:06
  And this is long before I felt called by the Lord to actually
• 33:09
  start teaching. I would preach messages just the
• 33:12
  top of my voice with the lawnmower running, you know,
• 33:15
  thinking, boy, how could anybody walk away unsaved after hearing
• 33:18
  that? So maybe in some way, that's how
• 33:21
  the Lord was calling me. He just put in my heart this
• 33:24
  burning desire to get this truth out.
• 33:26
  And for me, a podcast like you and I are doing, it's just
• 33:30
  another vehicle, another vessel to say, hey, maybe you don't
• 33:35
  believe in the supernatural world, but why don't you take a
• 33:37
  look at this and then go check out and there's actually an
• 33:40
  answer in the Bible. And maybe that will peak your
• 33:42
  curiosity to dig deeper. And hopefully once you do that,
• 33:46
  it's going to open up your heart to see your need for a savior.
• 33:51
  That's so good you were you were preaching the gospel to all
• 33:54
  creation on that lawnmower. So and nobody can hear me
• 33:58
  because of the drone of the mower so.
• 34:01
  Great and and really that is I mean, if we start to like look
• 34:05
  at what does it mean to be called or you heard from God,
• 34:08
  right? And I think that they're like,
• 34:11
  Scott, I've had this idea of doing what I'm what I'm
• 34:14
  considering the the late doctor Chuck message to talk about
• 34:16
  hermeneutical hygiene, right? Like having really good approach
• 34:20
  and, and healthy right, getting up to part, continually
• 34:24
  adjusting and critiquing, making sure we're coming correctly to
• 34:28
  how we're viewing the Bible right.
• 34:31
  And I was thinking about and, and me and Pete from the days of
• 34:34
  no apocalypse are doing this a bit where we're we're
• 34:36
  qualifying. We all say words like holy
• 34:39
  right, or oh man, I love this new song that came out.
• 34:42
  And I was looking at if we got back to the root of what the
• 34:46
  Bible was saying when it when it was declaring these things like
• 34:49
  the first time prophecies mentioned in the Bible, like
• 34:52
  what is the law first mention? What is the context of that?
• 34:55
  What's the standard there? What is God conveying to us?
• 34:57
  Right? And then trying to, because
• 35:00
  obviously the, not only the millennial generation, but many
• 35:02
  of us right now are inculcated so deeply into the, the video
• 35:08
  culture, right? You just flip to another video
• 35:10
  every 15 seconds. I call it TikTok brain, right?
• 35:13
  Where people are just programmed to digest and to see lights and
• 35:17
  to get those dopamine hits from, from, you know, these exciting
• 35:19
  little video ventures and, and the techno culture that we're a
• 35:23
  part of. And I'm like, man, if we got
• 35:26
  back to the root of some of these meanings and started to
• 35:29
  understand more thoroughly, like, what does it mean when the
• 35:33
  Bible says many are called, but few are chosen?
• 35:36
  Like, what does that mean? What does that look like?
• 35:38
  What does it mean to be called when people, when someone says,
• 35:40
  I feel like God is telling me this define that?
• 35:44
  Is it just like some like weird ethereal, like, Oh, well, I
• 35:47
  will, you know, I don't endorse this at all, but I know a lot of
• 35:52
  people that are like this. I grew up around a lot of people
• 35:54
  like this. I was smoking a joint with a
• 35:57
  bunch of friends, man, and I just felt God in the wind, bro.
• 36:01
  And I felt like, you know, the and it's like, man, that is we
• 36:03
  have missed the mark if we're holding that kind of engagement
• 36:09
  with the Lord. I would define like what you
• 36:12
  said, Scott, you're on the lawn mower.
• 36:15
  Nobody's around. You're being Scott.
• 36:18
  You're excited about what the Lord has done and what he's
• 36:21
  called. He he's, he's curating something
• 36:24
  inside of you and moving something deep inside of you
• 36:27
  where you were just happy to speak out with an authority and
• 36:31
  passion. His word on your lawn mower.
• 36:33
  That is the evidence of a calling.
• 36:37
  Amen. Yeah, it's it's experiential.
• 36:41
  Call it a still small voice if you want because I didn't hear a
• 36:46
  voice, but boy I felt like if. And that ultimately drove me to
• 36:51
  wanting to be a teacher and preacher because I felt like
• 36:54
  I'll bust if I don't tell this to somebody.
• 36:57
  It moved you deeply, right? Like it literally helped the
• 36:59
  trajectory of your life. That's a calling, my friend.
• 37:02
  Yes, loud and clear. I I completely agree.
• 37:05
  You know, I'm so glad, Rod, that you mentioned hermeneutics and
• 37:09
  the law of first usage or rule of first usage, because I
• 37:13
  recently had a guest on who's a close friend of mine.
• 37:16
  He actually lives in the same city with me and it's not a big
• 37:18
  town. So and he was a member of my
• 37:21
  church. His name is Jeff Dodson and he's
• 37:24
  a dear brother in Christ. But he, he felt a calling to
• 37:27
  start studying the Hebrew language because he wanted to
• 37:31
  see more deeply some things that he felt like he could glean from
• 37:34
  that. And I praise God for his desire
• 37:37
  for that. We've had him on several times,
• 37:39
  but the last time he was on, he mentioned that rule of first
• 37:43
  usage. And we went back and we did a
• 37:45
  study on the word worship. And the first, the first time
• 37:49
  it's used was by Abraham saying he's going to take, take Isaac
• 37:53
  and offer him as a sacrifice. But he told the servants, the
• 37:57
  young child and I are going to go Yonder and worship.
• 37:59
  Yeah. And if you.
• 38:01
  See that and what worship is called today, and I'm not trying
• 38:04
  to be critical or judgmental, but if it's if it's a rock
• 38:08
  concert and that's and and it's just an emotional thing, that's
• 38:12
  not where it started. That's not what was originally
• 38:15
  intended. That may be where it is
• 38:17
  perceived now, but it was really convicting to listen to that and
• 38:21
  realize, boy, we have come far afield from words in their
• 38:25
  original meanings by the Holy Spirit.
• 38:28
  Scott, that is so good. I always say I I get a lot of
• 38:34
  pushback from people. I've had so many offers and
• 38:38
  people reach out and say, let me write, study under me and do do
• 38:41
  things this way. And we think you should be a,
• 38:43
  you know, Apostolic. We think you should be
• 38:46
  Pentecostal. We think you should be right.
• 38:48
  I've had all of this engagement. I spent more time in dialect
• 38:51
  with Muslims recently than I even do Christians.
• 38:54
  It's like like, how about that person like face to face, right?
• 38:58
  But I've noticed all this and and I've never limited the way
• 39:03
  that I view things or the way that I operate based on someone
• 39:06
  else's revelation. So I look into the four walls
• 39:09
  and I'm like, that's not it. It doesn't mean I'm against you.
• 39:13
  It doesn't mean I'm wishing that you right don't get it.
• 39:16
  But I'm not going to subject myself with a limiter on the
• 39:19
  revelation of playing churchianity that most people
• 39:23
  operate in. I'm going to, you know, I call
• 39:25
  it sticking to your lane, but I, I, I try to do it and I've
• 39:30
  failed many ways and I'm not a great example of this, but I try
• 39:32
  to do it in a way where personally, I work with multiple
• 39:35
  denominations. And then people say, well, what
• 39:37
  denomination are you? And I say, I'm non
• 39:39
  denominational and they say that's a denomination.
• 39:41
  And I'm like, listen, I don't know what to tell you.
• 39:44
  I know that I should be dead, but I'm not.
• 39:48
  Yeah. I know that something is growing
• 39:50
  and changing in me. I'm failing forward in so many
• 39:53
  ways and my heart posture worship is that I don't want to
• 40:00
  do it alone. Yeah.
• 40:02
  I want the Holy Spirit, I want that seal.
• 40:04
  I want the whitestone at the end of the age.
• 40:05
  I want to hear well done, good and faithful servant and all of
• 40:10
  this other stuff. It really it I started to
• 40:12
  realize, Scott, it's a distraction.
• 40:14
  Like people talk about simulation theory, right?
• 40:15
  The matrix. They talk about all these
• 40:17
  different ideas. Is the earth flat?
• 40:19
  Is it a globe? Is it terodial, right.
• 40:22
  And it's like, that's interesting to me and I want to
• 40:25
  I want to be able to run the race in these conversations.
• 40:28
  I'm not throwing it to the wayside, but during the midst of
• 40:31
  it, if you were honestly to look at your life, and let's just say
• 40:36
  if you were, and I mentioned this on another show recently, I
• 40:38
  think it's an interesting thing. I want to see what your thoughts
• 40:40
  are. But if you were to look at the
• 40:44
  Bible, the word of God, the 66 books, well, there's more books
• 40:47
  according to different denominations, but the 66 books,
• 40:52
  right? And you were to say, I'm going
• 40:54
  to look at this love letter from God to us, this redeeming love
• 40:58
  letter. And my personal experiences,
• 41:03
  whatever I've engaged with or had the epiphany on right, or
• 41:07
  just really resonated with that I can find in there.
• 41:10
  That's the limitation of my belief.
• 41:12
  What if people were to do that? You would probably have a lot of
• 41:14
  very dry people or confuse people that are like actually, I
• 41:19
  don't I've never seen an Angel, right.
• 41:21
  I've never seen a miracle. I've never right.
• 41:24
  You know, people might and I think it's a it's a good thing
• 41:26
  to talk about because if you get real with yourselves as
• 41:29
  listeners out there and now many people who do TuneIn have a
• 41:33
  reason to they're interested. But I'm talking like general
• 41:35
  consensus now, Scott, like we look at the four walls.
• 41:39
  We look at the operation of these people and it's like, why
• 41:46
  do you believe the Bible? So it's the word of God.
• 41:50
  I believe it. But then they live a contrary
• 41:53
  life. They de supernaturalize it.
• 41:56
  They believe in, I don't know, medical breakthrough magazine
• 42:02
  article 7000 this week. But they reject that bitterness
• 42:07
  and unforgiveness can actually make you sick.
• 42:09
  Yes. Like, you know, it's contrary.
• 42:12
  So like there's 22 worlds colliding here.
• 42:15
  There's a in my opinion, a spiritual warfare is taking
• 42:19
  place not only between principalities, powers, world as
• 42:21
  dominions, archons, but the religious spirits that are
• 42:24
  operating within the people that have their head in the sand.
• 42:28
  Yes. And they're just going with the
• 42:31
  flow, man. So I'm going to pass it to you.
• 42:32
  What are your thoughts on the like this idea of a reawakening
• 42:38
  whatever within the real body starting to get it?
• 42:41
  Starting to figure it out. I, I'm blown away by what you
• 42:45
  just shared, Rod, because and, and in fact, you said something
• 42:48
  earlier about your wife coming from a part of the world where
• 42:52
  the supernatural is very real to them.
• 42:55
  And Western culture and German rationalism did a lot to destroy
• 43:01
  the supernatural. And there was a divorce of
• 43:04
  science and religion and all that that took place.
• 43:08
  And when I mentioned earlier that I was, I, I'm grateful for
• 43:13
  salvation through the group of men that I studied under.
• 43:17
  And I'm, I see them as my father's in the Gospel, you
• 43:21
  know, But there came a point when I began to see some things
• 43:25
  that didn't seem to line up and they took that line in the sand.
• 43:28
  You know, that militant stance of well, you know, I'm not sure
• 43:33
  I believe in all that stuff. And yet it's right here in the
• 43:36
  Scriptures. Case in point, you, you made a
• 43:38
  reference to Ephesians 612. I don't know.
• 43:41
  But how many times I've read that heard it preached in Bible
• 43:44
  conferences. We wrestle not with flesh and
• 43:46
  blood, but it wasn't real to us. It wasn't it didn't become alive
• 43:51
  to me until I began to real. I actually had to encounter some
• 43:55
  people that were involved in some sort of demonic activity
• 43:59
  that clearly was a, a negative supernatural influence in their
• 44:03
  lives before I could admit that the thing was real.
• 44:07
  And then I began to question and I lost that group, that group
• 44:12
  that was more militant. I'm, I don't want that to sound
• 44:15
  ugly. That sounds unkind.
• 44:18
  Let's just say that they were more comfortable staying in the
• 44:21
  safety zone of the Bible. OK?
• 44:25
  They marked me and avoided me because I started saying, but
• 44:29
  wait a minute, we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but
• 44:32
  principality, Let's do you really believe that?
• 44:35
  Genesis 6 says the sons of God took the daughters of men.
• 44:38
  Do you really believe that? And so the pushback came and you
• 44:42
  get a little ostracized until you realize there's another
• 44:45
  group out there that is open to it.
• 44:47
  And what that did for me is, yes, not only is there awakening
• 44:51
  and I 100% agree with you, but for me personally, it did
• 44:56
  something else. It awakened me to, if I can see
• 44:59
  the reality of the spiritual warfare that we wage and it's
• 45:05
  real, why don't I feel the realness of the communion with
• 45:11
  the Holy Spirit? You know what I mean?
• 45:14
  In the same way that it's just as real to me.
• 45:17
  I know he's there. I believe him.
• 45:18
  I absolutely have 100% faith that I'm sealed by the Spirit of
• 45:21
  God and that Jesus Christ dwells in me.
• 45:26
  But there are those moments when I feel like, Lord, I don't think
• 45:32
  I'm reaching you. You know, I don't feel connected
• 45:36
  to you. Is it because I've put those
• 45:40
  blinders on for so long to the spiritual, to the supernatural,
• 45:44
  that I even included you in some small degree?
• 45:47
  I can read the words of salvation, believe on the Lord
• 45:51
  Jesus Christ, and thou should be saved.
• 45:52
  And I did, and that's great. But I want to know him, like
• 45:56
  Paul said, and the power of his resurrection.
• 45:59
  You know, I want to know that communion so that when I have a
• 46:02
  thought, I feel like I'm talking to my wife and we're that close
• 46:08
  and we're in that knit together like David and his close friend.
• 46:12
  So I feel that that awakening is happening in both areas.
• 46:17
  An awareness of the spiritual battle and hopefully an
• 46:21
  awareness of how much we need to be praying and in constant
• 46:24
  communication with the Lord and feeling his presence.
• 46:27
  Not in a weird, goofy emotional way, but if you get emotional
• 46:31
  about it, that's fine. But in but in a real sense of
• 46:34
  Lauren, I know you hear me, and I know you're there, and I'm
• 46:37
  ready to hear what you have to say to me.
• 46:40
  Scott, that is so good. I mean, we're getting to the
• 46:43
  crux of the issue, which is personal relationship.
• 46:46
  Like how are we, you think of, think of the word relationship,
• 46:50
  how you are relating to another, right?
• 46:54
  And the exchange of information, is it the via negativity or is
• 46:57
  this a good thing, right? Because all of us have
• 47:01
  experience with with both and there's some Gray areas in
• 47:04
  between, don't get me wrong. But I think about pursuing God
• 47:09
  when when it's unpopular, reaching out to him in the
• 47:13
  desperate lows and not forgetting, not even missing a
• 47:17
  beat. When you get that breakthrough
• 47:19
  and you get that answer prayer, you know, it's kind of like the
• 47:21
  apostle. He says, Lord, don't give me so
• 47:24
  much that that I'm rich and I just forget about you, but don't
• 47:28
  bring me so little that I have to dishonor you because I have
• 47:32
  to go and do things that are going to bring me a bad
• 47:35
  reputation. And so there's like this
• 47:37
  constant balance, right in the the New Testament author, the
• 47:40
  apostle Paul talks about I've learned to a base right.
• 47:44
  Contentment is there's much godliness and gain being content
• 47:49
  with what you have and recognizing the fact.
• 47:52
  You know, I've been thinking about some stuff, Scott.
• 47:53
  I I think all the time. Oh yeah, I tell my team I'm a
• 47:57
  visionary. Help me make it happen, right?
• 47:59
  Because I'm like, I'm there, we're tapping in.
• 48:04
  And so I'm thinking about, you know, you have these rich and
• 48:08
  these powerful people in the earth and people want to mimic
• 48:10
  their moves and they want to, they want to look like them and
• 48:13
  talk like them, right? And, and here's the new big
• 48:15
  business platform idea of how to make this much money.
• 48:19
  Blah. And it's like, man, God, I was,
• 48:22
  I was inquiring because he God just meets my needs.
• 48:26
  He has humbled me so much in the last like 2 years in particular.
• 48:30
  Never left me hanging, but I've white knuckled it.
• 48:33
  Yeah. And I'm asking I'm like God,
• 48:35
  Well, what is it with these other people?
• 48:36
  You told me don't be envious of those who get I'll gain.
• 48:41
  You know what I mean. Those who are making it the
• 48:42
  wrong way. I'm like, what's happening
• 48:44
  there? And he's he was literally
• 48:47
  because the Holy Spirit reminds us of all things written about
• 48:50
  the Christ. The Christ is every yacht and
• 48:53
  title is about him. He's the volume of the book,
• 48:55
  right? And there's so much more than
• 48:57
  just the book because the Bible says the word that's eternally
• 49:00
  settled in heaven. The pages, you can take a
• 49:03
  Sharpie marker and Mandela Effect.
• 49:05
  I'm going to change all of these Bibles, right?
• 49:08
  But I started thinking about this and my God, what is the
• 49:11
  case here? And he said what has been long
• 49:14
  and difficult for you and what you've ran to me and inquired
• 49:19
  about and you've pressed in and you've struggled and you've
• 49:22
  wrestled and you've kicked and screamed at times.
• 49:25
  They, they have no engagement with that relation to me.
• 49:29
  I don't know them that way. And some of their biggest
• 49:31
  regrets are going to be they wish they would have rejected
• 49:37
  those pleasures, rejected the streamline and, and, and the the
• 49:41
  overwhelming fruit of their labor on this earth and had an
• 49:46
  opportunity to wrestle with me. And I'm like, my paradigm just
• 49:52
  shifted. I I'm not jealous or envious or
• 49:55
  not that I was like overly jealous or envious.
• 49:56
  But you look around and be like, why are they so wrong?
• 50:00
  But it looks so right. Right.
• 50:03
  You know, and God was showing me he's like, listen, those who I'm
• 50:07
  humbling, I'm allowing to to learn the hard way.
• 50:11
  You're never going to fold and I can trust you.
• 50:14
  Yes, we've been unbroken. And this is like 11 years into
• 50:19
  my walk with Christ, like people think I'm like mature and I got
• 50:22
  and I'm still asking the basics like God, how do I write?
• 50:27
  How do I deal with this? But I think about relating the
• 50:31
  relationship like he knows me. He knows I weep.
• 50:34
  He knows I have an attitude sometimes.
• 50:36
  He knows I'm not the easiest right to to teach things to.
• 50:40
  I'm a little bit stubborn and that I'm a little bit like Peter
• 50:44
  sometimes I can't just shut up, you know, I got to say I got to
• 50:47
  bust out of the seam sometimes. But he knows this about me.
• 50:52
  And and as a personal thing that like vulnerability is a weapon.
• 50:58
  The enemy will try to make you think that spilling your guts
• 51:03
  for God is weak or if a man weeps, it's weak or if right.
• 51:10
  I don't believe in being a crybaby.
• 51:14
  I'm a man's man. But I also believe when we come
• 51:17
  to God, we come correct like God.
• 51:19
  I sinned. I did it this way, right.
• 51:21
  I don't like it. I don't want to feel like that.
• 51:25
  And sometimes we have to wait on him sometimes immediately he
• 51:28
  he's posted ready and willing to do the work that needs to be
• 51:33
  done for the perfecting of what he's calling you for in Christ.
• 51:36
  And I look at all of this, Scott, as just we need to be
• 51:42
  able to have these conversations and encourage people.
• 51:45
  You're not alone. It's not weird.
• 51:48
  Yeah. Doesn't matter if it's not
• 51:49
  popular, if, if all of your friends are not doing that on a
• 51:52
  Friday or Saturday, if they're not wrestling through their
• 51:55
  value or what happened to them or who they really are.
• 51:59
  Because the world will tell you, oh, you have, you know, DID,
• 52:03
  right, DSM 5 yourself, right. Or they'll tell you, oh, you got
• 52:06
  panic. I, I hear this a lot.
• 52:08
  I'm anxious. I got panic.
• 52:09
  Order a panic disorder, right? And I'm like, my God, like taste
• 52:15
  him and see that he's good. It doesn't mean it's easy and
• 52:18
  it's always pleasant, but he is good.
• 52:22
  Yeah, You know, we, we dance around a dirty word in
• 52:28
  Christianity because we don't like it and it's suffering, you
• 52:33
  know, that that here I am 62 years old and I, I'm, I don't
• 52:41
  believe I have truly suffered, but I'm amazed at how unwilling
• 52:45
  people are to put on that mantle when it literally says in the
• 52:52
  Scriptures, it is not only given on your behalf to believe on
• 52:56
  him, but to suffer for his sake. You know, in Philippians, case
• 52:59
  in point, I'm going to use myself because I can, I can
• 53:02
  preach against myself. I have the misfortune of being
• 53:06
  from Louisiana, so I'll eat anything that won't eat me
• 53:08
  first, you know, and I love to eat.
• 53:12
  But fasting was such a part of the lives of the early church
• 53:19
  and of Christ himself, and it never entered my mind to
• 53:23
  incorporate that into my own spiritual walk.
• 53:26
  And earlier when I was talking about wanting to know the Lord
• 53:29
  and feeling communion with Him and feeling that relationship,
• 53:33
  which is exactly what it is when you describe that, a personal
• 53:35
  relationship. I have it for salvation and I
• 53:38
  understand it theologically and judicially, but to really feel
• 53:45
  it and know it in that deeper sense is another thing.
• 53:48
  So a dear couple that are older than me, but have supported us
• 53:53
  from the very beginning in my ministry.
• 53:56
  I, I know they're going to have crowns in, in heaven for the
• 54:00
  work they've done. They, they've been the sucker of
• 54:02
  many. And the, the wife of this couple
• 54:07
  developed Alzheimer's and went through a pretty bad period of
• 54:11
  time and she recently passed. And so her husband phoned me up
• 54:18
  on a Sunday to say we've contacted Hospice and I just
• 54:22
  want you to know it won't be much longer before she goes to
• 54:26
  be with the Lord. And while they're both saved and
• 54:28
  absolutely have a knew they had a marvelous future ahead of her,
• 54:33
  I thought, well, you know what, this is a perfect time for me to
• 54:36
  fast and pray for her, whether it's the Lord is going to
• 54:40
  deliver her or end her suffering and bring her home.
• 54:43
  I wanted his will. And so I did that and three days
• 54:50
  later she did pass. But while I was fasting, I felt
• 54:56
  closer in that communion because it was not just a fast of food,
• 55:01
  it was a fast of social media. I, you know, the phone is only
• 55:05
  on now until if I get an emergency call, everything else
• 55:09
  is off. And I'm not going to go look at
• 55:12
  social media and I'm not going to check emails.
• 55:14
  I'm just going to pray and fast. And, you know, Christ did it for
• 55:18
  40 days. I just managed to do it for
• 55:20
  three. But in that time it made me
• 55:24
  realize how that should be an integral part of our walk
• 55:29
  something whether it's a fast of, of your iPad or a fast of
• 55:32
  your food or whatever. And four other people had Vicki
• 55:36
  Joy Anderson on recently where she literally talked about she
• 55:39
  had to fast for 10 days, but she had to pick someone to pray for,
• 55:43
  you know, according to her friend.
• 55:45
  So all of that to say, it's part of that spiritual supernatural
• 55:51
  that we, we've been, it's been buried in traditional church
• 55:56
  churchianity And it, it's like I, I grew up with a group that
• 56:04
  since Paul's the apostle of the Gentiles and we're Gentiles,
• 56:07
  then the 13 epistles he wrote is directed to the church, all the
• 56:11
  Bible's for us, but it's all written to us.
• 56:13
  And and I've taught that for many years, but then every few
• 56:17
  pages in Paul's very epistles, he says as it is written, as it
• 56:22
  is written, as it is written, he's pointing us back to the Old
• 56:26
  Testament. He's pointing us back to look at
• 56:28
  these things through the lens of his writing.
• 56:31
  And he said, consider what I say and the Lord give the
• 56:33
  understanding, but it's because the Holy Spirit is talking to
• 56:36
  us. So anyway, all that to say that
• 56:40
  you can get so legalistic, you know that you're missing the
• 56:44
  real spiritual engagement we should be having both in the
• 56:49
  battle and in the fellowship. Scott, Man.
• 56:53
  We we could do this. We're flowing, man.
• 56:57
  We are flowing in the spirit because I've been thinking about
• 57:00
  the Exodus and I'm like God saved people remove them right
• 57:07
  before he gave them the law, right?
• 57:09
  And right now we have the legalistic mindset saying you
• 57:13
  can't do that. You can't.
• 57:14
  And I'm listen, I'm not endorsing the LGBTQ.
• 57:17
  I'm not endorsing doing drugs and drinking and womanizing.
• 57:21
  I'm not endorsing any of that. The Bible says we do not
• 57:24
  practice sin, we practice righteousness.
• 57:26
  But if a righteous man falleth 7 times, he get back up, yes.
• 57:31
  So it's not a license to SIN. But I.
• 57:33
  Think a lot of times this is corporately right and I love
• 57:36
  finding people that understand these these meatier things
• 57:39
  because this does navigate how we walk, right?
• 57:42
  That this this is our reputation, right.
• 57:44
  It's not just on air. It's like, what does this guy
• 57:46
  really like to spend time with? I have people that come and test
• 57:49
  me. They want to come and write.
• 57:51
  Aaron comes in in his state at my house.
• 57:53
  I went and stayed at his house. He's on the team now, by the
• 57:55
  way, on the MMS and we have people that come from different
• 57:59
  states to get together to do prayer meetings.
• 58:01
  Like I want to see what you're all about and I'm always like, I
• 58:03
  want to I want to see you in the flash.
• 58:05
  I want to I want right. It's not like some like, oh,
• 58:09
  macho thing, but it's like, man, I, I want to test your spirit.
• 58:11
  I want to spend time with you. There's nothing like getting
• 58:14
  together with no agenda. Yeah, spending some time and,
• 58:18
  and entering into some prayer and just saying, you know what,
• 58:20
  I see you. You know, we have no idea what
• 58:24
  God will do if we make ourselves available.
• 58:26
  But but I've been thinking about how God delivered the people in
• 58:31
  the Exodus and it's it's hardship and deprivation for
• 58:35
  them, right? It's by design.
• 58:37
  They're they're seeking food. They go there, they get locked
• 58:41
  in, right? They become slaves because
• 58:43
  they're looking for food, right? And the richest, the rich
• 58:46
  nations, they have the food Egypt at this time.
• 58:49
  And then God unlocks them after 400 years, miraculously sends a
• 58:54
  man with a stutter who needed someone to partner with him
• 58:57
  because he couldn't successfully communicate the mission signs
• 59:01
  and wonders, right. God, literally the Exodus and
• 59:04
  even some of the Egyptians are a part of this Exodus, in my
• 59:07
  opinion. I think that is very
• 59:09
  interesting, but I'm not going to get into all of it tonight.
• 59:11
  But they're they're moving out. And they're still complaining.
• 59:18
  Wanting the foods of Egypt food got them locked up.
• 59:21
  They still want the food when they're being liberated and it
• 59:24
  all looks rough and nasty and difficult, right?
• 59:27
  And I'm, I'm zoomed out in like street preacher mode right now.
• 59:30
  Like I don't even know why, but I think because I, we don't want
• 59:33
  to spend hours trying to qualify all these details with, with the
• 59:35
  time slot we have tonight, but we can do that in the future.
• 59:37
  Like we can get in and have fun, right?
• 59:39
  Love the word of God, but then we see the Lord deliver a
• 59:44
  standard to the people. In the midst of like some.
• 59:48
  Of the worst things you can do, like what's #1 like love the
• 59:52
  Lord you got behind your heart, bodies all.
• 59:54
  And like they're worshipping A calf, right?
• 59:57
  And he still. Delivers, you know now, Moses.
• 59:59
  Got gets angry and tosses the first set.
• 1:00:01
  But what I'm getting at here is that shouldn't be too different
• 1:00:06
  than our process with him. Just because you're you're in a
• 1:00:09
  church family or you show up to the building doesn't mean
• 1:00:14
  you're. Doing it the right way.
• 1:00:16
  Like, people can have the right doctrine, but they can operate
• 1:00:19
  the wrong way. They can be, they can be nasty
• 1:00:21
  people, but they could say the right thing.
• 1:00:24
  And I've encountered people like this.
• 1:00:25
  And then there's other people who who are like, I don't know
• 1:00:28
  what's going on. I don't know how to make sense
• 1:00:30
  of this. I just, I just know I need the
• 1:00:32
  purity and the love of God in my life.
• 1:00:34
  I'm a Wretch who can, who can help me.
• 1:00:37
  And then you see them in the secret places where there's no
• 1:00:40
  camera, no microphone, and they're, man, they're just
• 1:00:42
  giving it all away to help, help the needs of somebody else.
• 1:00:45
  Yeah. And they're like, man, I I.
• 1:00:47
  Want I. Want to be right.
• 1:00:49
  I want to feel like I belong. I want to feel like I'm
• 1:00:51
  accepted. I, I hang with people like this.
• 1:00:55
  I've seen some stuff in my short time on this earth.
• 1:00:59
  I've seen some stuff and I think about this, Scott, is God going
• 1:01:05
  to do anything terribly different if if we are dealing
• 1:01:08
  with SRA at at the level that I believe we are and there's all
• 1:01:13
  of this exposing to happen within the political sphere and
• 1:01:16
  we're we're coming into the end times.
• 1:01:18
  There's so many things we could read about the end of the ages,
• 1:01:21
  plural, in my opinion, that we're building the momentum for.
• 1:01:28
  God is going to deliver his people.
• 1:01:30
  It's probably not going to look terribly different than other
• 1:01:32
  times he delivered his people, although he has some new things
• 1:01:37
  that that we know are written for the age to come that that
• 1:01:42
  are unlike anything before. I think our exodus is going to
• 1:01:45
  be so great, Scott, come out of Babylon, right?
• 1:01:48
  Yes, Babylon. Let's define Babylon.
• 1:01:50
  What do you? Mean Rod stick around.
• 1:01:52
  We'll we'll we'll continue talking about this stuff.
• 1:01:54
  But right, Scott is what? What might that look like?
• 1:01:59
  So tell me, Scott, from your perspective, like what are you
• 1:02:01
  seeing right now? Like we've we've covered the
• 1:02:03
  information's growing people in the most peculiar places are
• 1:02:06
  learning, the somebodies are becoming nobodies and the
• 1:02:10
  nobodies are kind of dwindling away.
• 1:02:12
  What do you do with all this? What time do you think that
• 1:02:14
  we're in? So I here's what I think.
• 1:02:17
  You know, when after Christ ascended up and then Pentecost
• 1:02:23
  happened, the Holy Spirit was poured out and they began to
• 1:02:28
  speak in other languages. So that was the first
• 1:02:34
  translation, you know, of the word of God was at Pentecost,
• 1:02:38
  every nation under heaven which was Jews gathered, but they were
• 1:02:41
  still all speaking their languages from their countries.
• 1:02:45
  And when they accused them of being drunk, Peter said, no,
• 1:02:49
  it's just 9:00. But this is that which was
• 1:02:53
  spoken by the prophet Joel. And it begins to cite Joel too,
• 1:02:57
  which says that in the last days I will pour out my spirit upon
• 1:03:02
  my servants and my handmaidens and your young mental dream
• 1:03:05
  dreams and on and on. I'm, I'm not doing a good job of
• 1:03:08
  quoting it, but people know what I'm talking about in Acts 2 and
• 1:03:11
  Joel two. Well, I think we're there
• 1:03:15
  because Peter mentioned it at that moment.
• 1:03:21
  And this is where my background in studying the Scriptures
• 1:03:25
  differs a little bit from some because of my background where I
• 1:03:29
  see a distinctive program between the nation Israel and
• 1:03:33
  the Gentile world where God was calling them as a nation under
• 1:03:37
  salvation and they rejected Messiah.
• 1:03:40
  And then he's still going to restore them.
• 1:03:42
  He has promises with them, He has covenants with them, and
• 1:03:44
  they will be fulfilled. But the the focus went from
• 1:03:48
  Israel to the world through Paul.
• 1:03:51
  Therefore the gospel went from being centered into a nation to
• 1:03:56
  all men. And during that time when Peter
• 1:04:00
  preached that he didn't know yet that it was going to go to all
• 1:04:03
  men. So he was thinking they're about
• 1:04:06
  to go into the time of Jacob's trouble.
• 1:04:09
  He they literally asked him in Acts 1, Lord, wilt thou at this
• 1:04:12
  time restore again the Kingdom to Israel?
• 1:04:14
  So they were expecting the the millennial reign to begin after
• 1:04:18
  seven years of tribulation and it didn't happen.
• 1:04:22
  There was a pause in the program as far as I'm concerned.
• 1:04:25
  And I've done studies about the 70 weeks of Daniel and all that
• 1:04:28
  stuff. People can go look it up.
• 1:04:31
  But that pause for me is coming to an end.
• 1:04:34
  And I believe it's the two days of Hosea chapter 6.
• 1:04:38
  The day with the Lords is 1000 years, second Peter 3.
• 1:04:41
  So if you put it all together, it's been 2 days of Israel being
• 1:04:45
  blinded and God hiding his face from them as a nation and he was
• 1:04:50
  reaching all the world with the message of grace when he's going
• 1:04:53
  to deal with them again as a people and he's about to
• 1:04:56
  nationally, not just Jews getting saved because Jews can
• 1:04:58
  get saved anytime just like we can.
• 1:05:00
  But when he's dealing with them as a nation again, it appears
• 1:05:04
  that there's going to be an incursion of Gog and Magog and
• 1:05:08
  then 144,000 sealed servants are going to begin preaching the
• 1:05:12
  same message the 12 were preaching.
• 1:05:16
  Well, as far as I'm concerned, the church is going to be have
• 1:05:18
  to, has to be removed because the current church is in the way
• 1:05:22
  of that program. We have a message of grace.
• 1:05:25
  They have a message that's slightly different.
• 1:05:27
  They have a future atonement. We have a past atonement.
• 1:05:30
  So anyway, without all that theology bogging us down the to
• 1:05:35
  me, we're at the end of the second day.
• 1:05:38
  It's about the sun's about to set and we're going to be taken
• 1:05:42
  out of the way. 144,000 are going to be sealed and they're
• 1:05:45
  going to begin to do signs and wonders again.
• 1:05:47
  Two witnesses are going to appear.
• 1:05:49
  So I think we're in the time when he is pouring out his
• 1:05:52
  spirit again on his handmaids. And while for us that might just
• 1:05:56
  partly be this wisdom and knowledge that we're discussing
• 1:05:59
  like Daniel 12, eventually it's going to become even more
• 1:06:03
  supernatural in the way that it was with the prophets and in the
• 1:06:08
  way it shall be. Because he says just like you
• 1:06:12
  said the Jews required signs that he's going to do signs and
• 1:06:14
  wonders like he did in Exodus, Dunamis power, resurrection.
• 1:06:18
  Power. All types of yeah, yeah.
• 1:06:20
  In other words, a very real. Manifestation of His might to a
• 1:06:24
  people that needed a sign to see it.
• 1:06:27
  Remember Christ said blessed are those that believe and did not
• 1:06:30
  see. So we're the ones that don't see
• 1:06:33
  the real signs. In the same way, I'm not talking
• 1:06:35
  about we don't see miracles, because we do, but I'm talking
• 1:06:38
  about, you know, the parting of the Red Sea and that kind of
• 1:06:41
  thing that's going to happen again.
• 1:06:44
  And so we're right on the verge of that.
• 1:06:46
  That's where I believe we stand in time.
• 1:06:48
  You know, That's super. Interesting perspective.
• 1:06:51
  I've heard a good bit of what's out there and I don't know if
• 1:06:54
  you're familiar with a gentleman named Dan Duvall from Broad
• 1:06:57
  Ministries. I'm not he's he's awesome.
• 1:07:00
  Yeah, he's been on a number of times.
• 1:07:02
  I, I have yet a couple of recordings with him now to
• 1:07:05
  release in the coming weeks, but I got a lot of respect for him
• 1:07:08
  because he pushes the envelope. I always say, you know, in our
• 1:07:11
  private conversations and publicly, I'm like, Dan, you're,
• 1:07:13
  you're kind of the tip of a spear in a lot of ways, right?
• 1:07:18
  You're, you're, you're ahead of the curve.
• 1:07:21
  What he was talking about with me on air 3-4 years ago is what
• 1:07:26
  the general consensus is now. I'm podcasting and I'm not
• 1:07:29
  saying that to lay toot my own horn, but we were having public
• 1:07:32
  conversations about what people are starting to agree with years
• 1:07:36
  ago. And so I'm like, you know, track
• 1:07:39
  record wise, I'm like, well, do you want to hear what we're
• 1:07:41
  talking about right now? Because it we might be pretty
• 1:07:44
  close to the echo chamber growing in significance within
• 1:07:47
  three or four more years from now.
• 1:07:49
  And he has some very similar perspectives in the sense where
• 1:07:53
  a lot of the times we've been taught this theology as a
• 1:07:56
  corporate body that there's a fire and all's you're giving is
• 1:08:01
  a box of matches, right? You can run away so you don't
• 1:08:03
  get burnt, or you can take your match and just make the fire
• 1:08:06
  bigger because you're looking at it going, oh, well, it's all
• 1:08:09
  going to burn anyway, right. So I might as well contribute to
• 1:08:11
  the burn when really God, I I believe personally and I agree
• 1:08:16
  with kind of what you're saying and what with what Dan says.
• 1:08:19
  And we're not going to unpack all the theology to qualify
• 1:08:22
  this, but you know, these are climactical, you know, things
• 1:08:24
  that we're we're trying to convey to each other that in
• 1:08:27
  agreeance, the fire hose mentality, like did you ever
• 1:08:32
  think that you're supposed to occupy till he comes?
• 1:08:35
  We're not just handing over territory.
• 1:08:37
  We're not rolling over right to just whatever we're supposed to
• 1:08:41
  be set apart. We're supposed to be.
• 1:08:44
  Failing forward, let's just be honest.
• 1:08:46
  We can't say we have no sin and deceive ourselves.
• 1:08:48
  We don't practice sin, we're eliminating.
• 1:08:53
  That we're. We're we're.
• 1:08:54
  Walking a tight and narrow And then are we making a stand
• 1:09:01
  that's worthy to be written in the Lamb's book of life?
• 1:09:04
  Yeah. Because he's not asking us to.
• 1:09:08
  Try to cure the fire issue with using fire.
• 1:09:12
  We don't. It's right there in the word
• 1:09:15
  guys, right? Don't overcome evil with good,
• 1:09:19
  right? Don't return evil for evil.
• 1:09:22
  Turn the other cheeks off and I'm not talking about be a be a
• 1:09:25
  victim, be a bully. Like there's a reason why there
• 1:09:27
  was a certain amount of men who had swords with them and Jesus
• 1:09:30
  was like, OK, that's enough. Like one 1/3 of you have a
• 1:09:33
  weapon. That's enough, right?
• 1:09:35
  We're not militant. Like we have lasers and like
• 1:09:38
  guns and going crazy. But he understood the the
• 1:09:41
  simplicity of, OK, we're strapped, you know, but that's
• 1:09:44
  not the measure of our protection.
• 1:09:45
  That's not our full completed order in the way that we work.
• 1:09:49
  That has a season. It has a reason.
• 1:09:51
  And so I look at it like that, Scott, where I'm looking,
• 1:09:55
  because I believe God is going to do wonderful things.
• 1:09:58
  And I think that he's going to perplex the wise.
• 1:10:02
  Yes. And I think there's going to be
• 1:10:04
  some removal of things that we thought couldn't be done.
• 1:10:08
  And he's going to be like, that's light work.
• 1:10:11
  Yeah. He's the king of kings.
• 1:10:12
  Like what? We're just one little generation
• 1:10:16
  who've seen these big, powerful companies and, and powerful
• 1:10:19
  figures in the world and we think they're, they're Titans
• 1:10:22
  and they can't be removed or they can't be humbled or chopped
• 1:10:25
  down or that, you know, and, and it's like, man, if you look at
• 1:10:27
  all of history, like this is my Newt in the big picture.
• 1:10:30
  But God is going to show us some stuff, I believe within this
• 1:10:33
  generation that is going to cause us to say this is the God
• 1:10:38
  we wish to worship. We need to learn to come correct
• 1:10:40
  again. No more religion, no more
• 1:10:42
  dancing around. I don't care about production.
• 1:10:44
  I don't care about what the lice look like.
• 1:10:45
  And I'm not trying to disrespect the church, but I'm also we need
• 1:10:48
  to get to the point where we we can take a stand that warns
• 1:10:52
  people with love and with intention that it you can do
• 1:10:57
  that, but that's not the full measure.
• 1:11:00
  If anybody's hearing my voice right now from the Bible's
• 1:11:02
  mystery podcast listeners and that is your experience and you
• 1:11:05
  know, there's something deeper and you want to go, you want to
• 1:11:08
  go further. You want to experience God more.
• 1:11:10
  But you're watching what looks to be like a well planned out
• 1:11:13
  play with a bunch of actors and you don't know how much they
• 1:11:16
  make taking place in front of you.
• 1:11:18
  I want you to go pray in secret. I want you to close your door
• 1:11:22
  and I want you to say, God, I need you to take me deeper and
• 1:11:27
  to show me what kind of season we're coming into because I
• 1:11:30
  don't want to get this wrong. I don't want to miss what you're
• 1:11:33
  calling me to do. I want to get on board with the
• 1:11:36
  direction you're moving. And I think he's moving in a
• 1:11:39
  direction of exposing the enemy, increasing.
• 1:11:43
  In knowledge for the body's. Sake and cultivating.
• 1:11:47
  An army of Joshua. 'S and David's no singularity
• 1:11:51
  here. There's many of us who are
• 1:11:53
  rising up and saying let's get back to the basics, let's get
• 1:11:58
  this right. We want an answer in season and
• 1:12:01
  out of season, man. Well.
• 1:12:05
  You just gave me my inspiration for another podcast episode when
• 1:12:08
  you said Occupy till I come and something clicked in my head and
• 1:12:12
  ate. The more you talked, it
• 1:12:13
  expounded it even more. And here's what came to my mind.
• 1:12:17
  Occupy enemy territory Exactly, you know.
• 1:12:22
  In that parable. He said the man went to in a far
• 1:12:26
  country to receive for himself a Kingdom and to return.
• 1:12:29
  That's the Kingdom of heaven which is on the earth.
• 1:12:32
  It's there. He's going to get it to come
• 1:12:33
  back. So we occupied till he comes.
• 1:12:36
  And in that time he also said from the days of John the
• 1:12:39
  Baptist till now, the Kingdom of heaven sufferer the violence and
• 1:12:43
  the violent take it by force. Matthew 12.
• 1:12:46
  He's making a statement. Yes, we.
• 1:12:49
  Are here in. Enemy occupied territory and
• 1:12:52
  we're to occupy we're to hold the line, you know, until he
• 1:12:56
  returns. He's saying, look, just proclaim
• 1:12:59
  the the gospel, demonstrate the love of Christ, because I'm
• 1:13:02
  coming back and when I come back, it's no more Mr. Nice Guy,
• 1:13:06
  you know, coming back with wrath, coming back with angels
• 1:13:09
  and flaming fire tank and vengeance on them that know not
• 1:13:11
  God. So our job is to show the love
• 1:13:14
  while we can, because it's it's not going to be grace after
• 1:13:18
  we're gone. It's going to be whosoever shall
• 1:13:22
  call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved is still true.
• 1:13:25
  But they're going to have to go through great adversity and
• 1:13:27
  great deception in order to avoid taking the mark of the
• 1:13:31
  beast. So yeah, I think, I think we're
• 1:13:34
  very close. And if you've talked to Ryan
• 1:13:37
  Peterson before about this, you know that he opened my eyes to
• 1:13:41
  the, the six seals of the Book of Revelation or 7 seals rather,
• 1:13:44
  that five of them are already opened.
• 1:13:48
  And I don't know if you would call him discussing that.
• 1:13:51
  But when you talk about the four horsemen and the, and the, the
• 1:13:54
  famine and the earthquakes and everything else that's been
• 1:13:57
  going on for 2000 years, he opened those seals the moment he
• 1:14:00
  ascended up to the Father. We're waiting on the 6th seal to
• 1:14:03
  be opened. And then the 7th seal is the the
• 1:14:06
  rest of the wrath real quick like.
• 1:14:09
  The multi layered effect. So I started saying a couple
• 1:14:12
  years ago, everything's multi layered and this is like
• 1:14:14
  experiential for me. And then I'm like the multi
• 1:14:17
  layered effect because there's enough effects taking place
• 1:14:21
  where I'm starting to understand the multi layered reality and
• 1:14:25
  enough effects start to build the reality.
• 1:14:27
  So these are like some of the things that Rod talks about.
• 1:14:30
  Yeah. And my wife has heard it enough
• 1:14:31
  times where she's just like, shut up.
• 1:14:33
  She's like, go tell somebody else.
• 1:14:35
  Right. But OK, so you talked about like
• 1:14:37
  famine. So this multi layered reality, I
• 1:14:40
  think that there's climaxes on it.
• 1:14:41
  And I think you're you're you're right.
• 1:14:43
  Or what you're referencing that Ryan's talking about right now.
• 1:14:46
  We're in a famine because a majority of the food that is
• 1:14:49
  available for people, even though they look morbidly obese
• 1:14:52
  at times, Right. Americans, most of them or or
• 1:14:55
  just out of shape even slightly. You're not getting the nutrients
• 1:15:00
  you're supposed to get. True.
• 1:15:02
  They have genetically modified the origins.
• 1:15:05
  The Bible says to eat the seed with the flesh of the fruit.
• 1:15:09
  It's in there. Yes.
• 1:15:10
  Yeah. We don't do that, do we?
• 1:15:12
  Seedless watermelons are now conveniently at Costco.
• 1:15:15
  I should you know, I'm not going to go too far on this, but so
• 1:15:19
  we're experiencing the perpetuation of feministic
• 1:15:23
  spiritual warfare from many regions of occupied space from
• 1:15:30
  the enemy's territory as we like to say that that are continuing
• 1:15:34
  to to influence and to try to steal.
• 1:15:39
  It's so much. It's not just one way, it's.
• 1:15:41
  Not like famine is exclusive to no food.
• 1:15:45
  It's the Great Depression everybody's in line for like a
• 1:15:47
  for a soup truck. I think we're in a famine right
• 1:15:50
  now. We are and and a famine of the
• 1:15:52
  word. Of God, Yeah, multi layered.
• 1:15:55
  Reality like there's so many this is this is what I love
• 1:15:59
  figuring out so OK I guess we kind of wind down a little bit
• 1:16:03
  right sure what would be Scott I'm.
• 1:16:05
  Going to ask you this kind of. Final question, what do you
• 1:16:08
  think is the most important message for the millennial
• 1:16:11
  generation today? Like where we're at right now,
• 1:16:13
  Everything you believe in, you're experiencing that.
• 1:16:16
  You know, if this was the last time you had the mic, what would
• 1:16:20
  be the most important thing you'd get out to them?
• 1:16:23
  Deception is. Is prevalent now, and it's the
• 1:16:28
  first thing Jesus said about these times in Matthew 24.
• 1:16:31
  Be not deceived. So we're trying to say that the
• 1:16:38
  supernatural world is about to be revealed in.
• 1:16:42
  A way it hasn't been. Before the veil is going to be
• 1:16:45
  pulled back and we're going to begin to see things are going to
• 1:16:49
  going to be that will be attempted to be explained as
• 1:16:53
  extraterrestrial space brothers or what have you and that
• 1:16:59
  they're aliens come to help humanity better themselves.
• 1:17:02
  And if you take this injection or if you take this pill or
• 1:17:06
  whatever they're selling, you're going to become the uberman
• 1:17:10
  human 2 point O that is the strong delusion that's coming.
• 1:17:14
  In my opinion, the only antidote is a relationship with the Lord
• 1:17:18
  Jesus Christ because if you are in him, you're bought with a
• 1:17:23
  price and he can't deny himself. He will not deny his own and we
• 1:17:28
  might even fail to see some of the deception as believers, but
• 1:17:33
  we will never be deceived to the point where we take the mark.
• 1:17:37
  I believe in the pre. Tribulation.
• 1:17:39
  Rapture. Personally, so I believe that
• 1:17:41
  we'll go out before that, but even if it's not true, we won't
• 1:17:45
  be deceived, He said. If it was possible, it could
• 1:17:48
  deceive the very elect. Well, it's not possible.
• 1:17:50
  So the bottom line is, since that is coming and the stage is
• 1:17:54
  being set now, like you said, with with even movies and media
• 1:17:58
  showing preconditioning us to accept this, You know, the idea
• 1:18:02
  of Superman heroes, Marvel, the idea of aliens, you know, being
• 1:18:08
  made popularized in the Star Wars and Star Trek and all that
• 1:18:11
  stuff. Ultimately, it's going to seem
• 1:18:14
  like, oh, this is great. This is better than what we'd
• 1:18:16
  hoped for because it's all the things that TV has conditioned
• 1:18:19
  us to believe in. And these are good guys.
• 1:18:21
  We're going to like them. So I think the the last thing I
• 1:18:26
  would say to people is we need to show you Christ warned us
• 1:18:30
  about this, The prophets warned us about this.
• 1:18:32
  It's in the Bible. Go take a look.
• 1:18:35
  There were giants, the bones are there.
• 1:18:37
  There were Dragons that the evidence is there.
• 1:18:40
  Don't trust what science, falsely so-called is telling
• 1:18:43
  you. Trust the word of God.
• 1:18:45
  It's the only thing you can rely on.
• 1:18:46
  And for heaven's sake, don't trust government.
• 1:18:52
  Powerful I. Concur.
• 1:18:56
  So good. Yeah.
• 1:19:01
  I mean, before we land this, do you have a last question for me?
• 1:19:06
  I do. And that was.
• 1:19:09
  And we may not have time and we can this will give me a good
• 1:19:11
  excuse to have you back. But your near death experience,
• 1:19:15
  those are always to me, powerful testimonies.
• 1:19:18
  Not it's not because of the experience.
• 1:19:20
  And we want to oh, ah, wow, you saw a light.
• 1:19:23
  That's not my aim. My aim is to say what?
• 1:19:26
  What did that do to bring you to a saving knowledge of Jesus
• 1:19:30
  Christ? You know, yeah, I think one of
• 1:19:32
  the most. Emotional episodes I ever did
• 1:19:34
  well, I actually started busting out weeping was like 1 early one
• 1:19:40
  hundreds like after 100 for sure.
• 1:19:42
  But it was where Carly, who's on the team now, interviews me and
• 1:19:47
  I interviewed her a bunch of times and it just broke, broke
• 1:19:50
  the podcast airspace for for people that have been had
• 1:19:57
  difficult upbringings that are starting to wake up to the
• 1:19:59
  reality of what happened to them.
• 1:20:01
  But anyway, she comes on and interviews me.
• 1:20:02
  I called it the pressure seat and pressure seed.
• 1:20:08
  And I've talked about my. Near death, a number.
• 1:20:12
  Of times I talked about it with Josh Peck, I've talked about it
• 1:20:14
  on That's a Frengie. All these other other shows.
• 1:20:18
  It's not a fancy. Story I didn't see a.
• 1:20:20
  Bright light I didn't have. Some wild.
• 1:20:24
  Encounter like I've hear people who have that stuff happen and
• 1:20:28
  I'm like, that's great. Like mine was super depressing.
• 1:20:32
  It was dark. I had PTSD for years after it.
• 1:20:36
  And I came to the same revelation that that I shared
• 1:20:40
  then is what is currently and ever present with me is that the
• 1:20:44
  mercy of God was on me to wake me up out of.
• 1:20:47
  Yeah. I mean, I'm giving you the short
• 1:20:49
  version, Scott, but that's OK. I got beat up by a.
• 1:20:52
  Bunch of guys I was. Swollen from the back of my ear
• 1:20:55
  to, you know, the tip of my nose.
• 1:20:57
  Man, I was swollen shut my eyes and and jaw and ears for weeks.
• 1:21:01
  Like I got pulmonized by these guys.
• 1:21:05
  I was pummeled bad and that woke me up because at 1920 years old,
• 1:21:16
  I wasn't. Thinking about I'm going.
• 1:21:18
  To die, you think you're invincible.
• 1:21:19
  It's just like you're trying to figure out life, you know?
• 1:21:22
  And I was handsome and I was built and I had no issues with
• 1:21:25
  being popular and and you know, the cool guy with a bag of weed.
• 1:21:29
  I was just this is this is the story.
• 1:21:31
  I don't do any of that now believe in any of that.
• 1:21:34
  But at that time, that's the way I was living.
• 1:21:36
  And God used a major suffering experience to get me to rethink
• 1:21:44
  about the course of my life. And so I never said I died
• 1:21:50
  because I. When I say.
• 1:21:52
  The term death, I think of completely coming out of your
• 1:21:55
  body and crossing over the veil, whatever you want to call it,
• 1:21:57
  arriving right absent with the body present with the Lord.
• 1:22:00
  But I started to sit up out of my body like my hips and legs
• 1:22:03
  never left. But but I I was dealing with
• 1:22:07
  such a true physical trauma from being stomped into the ground
• 1:22:10
  that I, I didn't hear anything, didn't see anything.
• 1:22:15
  It was fuzzy, very uncomfortable space, almost like a thin
• 1:22:19
  pressure like being in water would feel like.
• 1:22:22
  And I just remember being stubborn.
• 1:22:24
  I don't want to come out of my body.
• 1:22:26
  I don't want to come out of my body.
• 1:22:27
  I didn't know what the function was.
• 1:22:29
  I didn't know what so much happened in a short period of
• 1:22:33
  time here during this experience for me, but God used it.
• 1:22:38
  He. Used that to.
• 1:22:40
  I mean, all my other friends are going into the military.
• 1:22:43
  They're going, you know, into college.
• 1:22:45
  They're doing all these great things and I'm for a few years,
• 1:22:49
  I have PTSD isolated. I don't want to be around
• 1:22:53
  people. I don't want to leave the house.
• 1:22:55
  Even I'm I'm for years. It stole of my life.
• 1:23:00
  But what I was returned back was good for that which was evil set
• 1:23:04
  against me because during that time I looked and I inquired and
• 1:23:09
  I, I looked at the Bhagavad Gita.
• 1:23:10
  I looked at the Quran. I looked at, you know, the extra
• 1:23:13
  biblical books in the Bible. I just I looked at everything,
• 1:23:16
  all the fringe stuff before it was even like easy to find, like
• 1:23:19
  the Internet was like a starting place.
• 1:23:22
  It wasn't wasn't like it is today.
• 1:23:24
  This is back in My gosh, this is a long time ago now I'm 37, but.
• 1:23:31
  I land at Jesus. And he starts to minister to me
• 1:23:36
  through the word and through crying out to him and reading
• 1:23:40
  that started to undo the PTSD that counselors couldn't do the
• 1:23:44
  little blue pill couldn't do it. Like, you know, there's all this
• 1:23:46
  and you know, people are saying, Oh, well, a near death
• 1:23:49
  encounter, you know, you're just hallucinated these these set of
• 1:23:52
  events and it's the chemicals in your brain.
• 1:23:54
  And I'm like, I heard the doctors.
• 1:23:55
  I'm like, get out of here. Like it's different when you've
• 1:23:58
  been there. Like you can't tell me nothing
• 1:24:00
  like I, I can't express to you what that did to me, but God
• 1:24:04
  walked me through it. It took years to the point where
• 1:24:09
  I forgive and have prayed many times for each one of them,
• 1:24:13
  Those guys that did this to me. But it was a turning point where
• 1:24:17
  he got me off of all those weird little things on the back
• 1:24:21
  burner. I alluded to my supernatural
• 1:24:23
  life earlier. I used to put stuff on the back
• 1:24:25
  burner like, well, it's not popular, there's nobody to talk
• 1:24:28
  to about it. Just let it go and keep on
• 1:24:29
  moving forward, right? The near death, there's no back.
• 1:24:34
  Burner for that it is. Front, front and center.
• 1:24:37
  So when I had to deal with that, I started Scott then to deal
• 1:24:40
  with all this other stuff and started to build a worldview
• 1:24:43
  where it was like the word of God is now authoritative.
• 1:24:47
  It's it's superlative. It's supreme to me.
• 1:24:49
  And I'm going to inquire through prayer, through humility,
• 1:24:52
  through wrecking, just ruining it.
• 1:24:55
  I don't know what I'm doing. I'm just I've had no good role
• 1:24:57
  models either. Just I read it and I'm trying to
• 1:25:01
  figure this out and my near death was such a pivotal point
• 1:25:05
  to get the man that that I guess all of you get to enjoy through
• 1:25:09
  a podcast or whatever today. God used it.
• 1:25:14
  Amen. God used it.
• 1:25:15
  So yeah, I mean, that's what happened.
• 1:25:19
  It was I think what we could get into was this idea.
• 1:25:23
  I I've been thinking Scott, about sub pocket realm effects
• 1:25:27
  and people having these like lofty wild near death encounters
• 1:25:31
  and I'm like, they'll come. Back and be like oh God.
• 1:25:36
  Is like the universe, he's everywhere and like, you know,
• 1:25:40
  it's all OK, you're just going to be recycled into the light
• 1:25:43
  force ether, you know, magnitude of of, you know, blah.
• 1:25:47
  And and I'm like, there's, there's one way, there's a.
• 1:25:52
  Narrow path. There's a single door in whom
• 1:25:57
  holds the keys and who glory upon glory, such that we don't
• 1:26:03
  have the anointing to speak on behalf of the full mysteries of
• 1:26:08
  the heavens yet, although we pray that we do, just like Paul
• 1:26:10
  did pray that that I would be able to speak on behalf of the
• 1:26:13
  mysteries of heaven. And so I think.
• 1:26:16
  That there's a lot of like. Enemy kind of honing in and
• 1:26:21
  manipulating people's near death encounter so that they come back
• 1:26:24
  with these wild experiences that lead people to stress.
• 1:26:26
  I mean, I believe that I do. Some people may disagree with
• 1:26:29
  me, but I'm willing to open up to those kind of conversations.
• 1:26:32
  Look at research, look at statistics, look at, you know,
• 1:26:36
  because I've heard some stuff where I'm like, my God, I would
• 1:26:40
  probably feel and live and be different if I had an experience
• 1:26:42
  like that. Mine was like it's not good.
• 1:26:47
  You know. But sorry, it was long winded on
• 1:26:49
  that, but there was there was so much emotion.
• 1:26:51
  I was trying to, you know, maybe even build a bit of a
• 1:26:53
  cliffhanger with some stuff we could talk about in the future.
• 1:26:56
  No, I think that's great. I think that was.
• 1:26:58
  A perfect synopsis because like you say, you know, people have
• 1:27:03
  salvation experiences the same way where they, you know, no big
• 1:27:06
  flashing lights went off. I was, Yeah.
• 1:27:09
  I wasn't face down in the gut or drunk necessarily.
• 1:27:12
  I just one day came to realize in a dorm room, I was lost.
• 1:27:18
  You know, I, I was listening to a Bible tape on lost believers
• 1:27:22
  and the passage that they read was in John chapter 5 around
• 1:27:27
  verse 42 or three where Jesus said search the scriptures and
• 1:27:31
  then you think you have eternal life and they are they which
• 1:27:33
  testify of me and you will not come to me that you might have
• 1:27:36
  life. And it was like, that was the
• 1:27:38
  moment I knew the gospel from a, from a knowledge perspective,
• 1:27:44
  but I didn't know him. You know, I could have told you
• 1:27:48
  the words of salvation, but I didn't have a relationship with
• 1:27:51
  Christ. So there was no big thing that
• 1:27:53
  went off. It was just me alone in a dorm
• 1:27:55
  room and on the cassette tape by Brother EC Moore and and
• 1:28:00
  realizing I'm lost. It was that simple.
• 1:28:03
  So I, I appreciate a perspective like yours because even though
• 1:28:06
  you went through this horrible experience.
• 1:28:09
  Yeah, like you said, other than just sitting up, you didn't want
• 1:28:11
  to leave the body. You didn't go through all this
• 1:28:13
  big fancy thing. It just caused you to go.
• 1:28:15
  Something is missing and I need to find what it is.
• 1:28:19
  And it LED you to find the Lord. Yeah, man.
• 1:28:23
  Wow. Well, it's been an honor.
• 1:28:24
  I mean, for my listeners, since this is a crossover episode, I
• 1:28:28
  want you to plug in where you can be found.
• 1:28:30
  And what are you working on, You know, any exciting things coming
• 1:28:33
  down the pipeline as well? Yeah.
• 1:28:35
  So we're Bible mysteries. Podcast.com, you can find
• 1:28:39
  everything you need to know there.
• 1:28:40
  As far as all our past episodes, we have free episodes.
• 1:28:44
  We also have a premium subscription if you want bonus
• 1:28:47
  content and that supports this ministry.
• 1:28:49
  I also do a series on Rumble and YouTube called Unlock the Bible.
• 1:28:53
  Now that's more Sunday morning message type.
• 1:28:57
  Short 30 minutes. It is, yeah, a little structured
• 1:29:02
  in a little more evangelical kind of, or I, I really, the
• 1:29:06
  word I should use is exhortation.
• 1:29:09
  You know, we're not diving into the weird things like UFOs and
• 1:29:12
  bigfoots and stuff. We're actually just looking into
• 1:29:15
  things like the Holy Spirit. And the, the last thing we just
• 1:29:19
  did was about the Lord's Prayer, you know, and it was the one he
• 1:29:23
  prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, not what he taught
• 1:29:25
  the disciples to say or to, to, to use as a model.
• 1:29:29
  So, yeah, unlock the Bible now and then really there's not much
• 1:29:34
  else coming on the Pike except we're always looking to improve
• 1:29:37
  content. We're now providing things like
• 1:29:40
  study guides and in in the show notes and things like that.
• 1:29:44
  So hopefully we'll continue to get great guests like you and,
• 1:29:48
  and, and Rodney, tell me what's coming up with you.
• 1:29:50
  Tell me where people can reach you and about your podcasts and
• 1:29:54
  or your website. Yeah, so.
• 1:29:58
  Part time host, producer and creator of the Millennial
• 1:30:01
  Mustard Seed podcast. I spelled that MILLENNIAL and
• 1:30:08
  Season 6 this year. And I think by the time this
• 1:30:12
  episode airs, maybe I'll have like 10 or 12 in the bank, as I
• 1:30:16
  call it, which are episodes to be edited and scheduled for
• 1:30:20
  release. We have a lot of people that
• 1:30:23
  want to, you know, kind of cross pollinate and figure out like
• 1:30:29
  we're all here and there. There's, there's this bit of
• 1:30:32
  humility taking place that I've been a part of behind the
• 1:30:35
  scenes, speaking with all these other amazing hosts and creators
• 1:30:39
  and guests and coming to the conclusion that we're not
• 1:30:44
  waiting for anybody else to come along and create, create
• 1:30:48
  something for the void. We're we're going to do that
• 1:30:50
  ourselves. So that's kind of what I work
• 1:30:52
  on. We have a documentary that I've
• 1:30:54
  been working on for almost a year now, which is a time
• 1:30:57
  restraint thing starring Dr. Lara Sanger and and Doctor Monzo
• 1:31:01
  and a number of others. But my book released a year,
• 1:31:06
  year and a half ago that can be found on Amazon.
• 1:31:09
  Details of the show notes if you just search me up.
• 1:31:12
  I'm on all podcast catchers. I don't do anything heavy on
• 1:31:15
  YouTube or Rumble, although we're looking at engaging a
• 1:31:18
  little bit more of the video content coming up or right now.
• 1:31:20
  I'm an old school audio podcaster.
• 1:31:23
  I do put a couple videos up from time to time that you can watch
• 1:31:26
  on Spotify, for example. But yeah, we just keep having
• 1:31:31
  amazing conversations. We're pushing the boundaries on
• 1:31:36
  all the things that you're really not allowed to talk about
• 1:31:38
  in the structured place with a complete emphasis on Christ
• 1:31:41
  being Lord and Savior. We're not afraid to go 10 rows
• 1:31:44
  deep and then bounce right back to the Scriptures.
• 1:31:47
  I don't see that there's a difference.
• 1:31:48
  I think that the authority in the word is, is the dominance
• 1:31:54
  over every vibration frequency level, this attack that the word
• 1:31:59
  is supreme over all of it. And so that's kind of how we do
• 1:32:01
  things, man is we die. We get into all of it.
• 1:32:04
  I've had guys, people from next door on all the way up to like
• 1:32:08
  Doctor Max Botner from Jessup University, ancient language
• 1:32:12
  Semitic experts. We've we have a pretty
• 1:32:13
  interesting profile of people that we've interviewed.
• 1:32:17
  So yeah, it's a little bit about what I do and as to what's to
• 1:32:20
  come is just hoping that the Lord allows me to continue it in
• 1:32:24
  this space. Really.
• 1:32:26
  Yeah, Amen to that. Well, I guess I could say the
• 1:32:29
  same. We we started off as a
• 1:32:30
  traditional audio podcast, only we added the video because we
• 1:32:35
  found that it would engage another group.
• 1:32:37
  But I'll be honest, Google has put us in Google jail so many
• 1:32:42
  times that we pulled our podcast from YouTube.
• 1:32:45
  The only thing I post on YouTube is my Sunday morning messages
• 1:32:48
  exactly because YouTube kept punishing us.
• 1:32:51
  But Rumble doesn't censor free speech, so we we do put our
• 1:32:54
  videos for the podcast. Yeah, it's hard to get the video
• 1:32:56
  stuff out there and. No, people do say we want we
• 1:32:59
  want video content. We want video content.
• 1:33:00
  I'm like, man, I don't know if I have a face to stare at for an
• 1:33:03
  hour and a half, but if it helps, whatever.
• 1:33:06
  Like we try to accommodate, you know what I mean?
• 1:33:08
  Yeah, but you're right, YouTube, it's like it's it's hit or miss,
• 1:33:11
  right? And then Rumble is, is a good
• 1:33:13
  place to go. Yeah.
• 1:33:14
  I think what, what people forget is they're asking a creator and
• 1:33:19
  producer to do this. And like, I don't, I have a team
• 1:33:22
  now, but my team does interviews and I edit that audio.
• 1:33:25
  So it's not like I have a team who does more stuff behind the
• 1:33:29
  scenes for me. And it it's a lot.
• 1:33:30
  It takes a lot of time, doesn't it, Scott?
• 1:33:32
  It does if my team is myself. And my wife, and thank God for
• 1:33:36
  my wife Sandy, because she puts the lion's share of the work
• 1:33:41
  done in promotion and, and editing.
• 1:33:43
  But, and I'm also thankful that we've been introduced to some AI
• 1:33:47
  tools that actually allow our editing to go a lot smoother and
• 1:33:50
  faster than it used to. So the uploads compressing and
• 1:33:53
  sending. Files and editing it's it's a
• 1:33:55
  lot of work and that's why we want you guys to support both of
• 1:33:59
  these shows and we're not just a show we are literally
• 1:34:02
  ambassadors for the Kingdom that is here the Kingdom that's
• 1:34:05
  coming and then and. With all that being said.
• 1:34:09
  Scott, it's an honor to do this first crossover and
• 1:34:12
  introductory. I think there's so much more
• 1:34:14
  that we could work out and and create some good old fashioned
• 1:34:19
  content for in the days ahead. So it's been absolutely, it was
• 1:34:22
  an honor for me. To be here.
• 1:34:24
  It was a privilege to have you on Bible Mysteries as well, Rod.
• 1:34:28
  I cannot wait for the next time we talk.
• 1:34:29
  This has been a wonderful blessing for me.
• 1:34:32
  Well, that's it on my end. You guys share.
• 1:34:34
  This show, it's just the right thing to do.
• 1:34:38
  You can help us find somebody else just like me and you.
• 1:34:41
  And I'll sign off by saying till next.
• 1:34:43
  Time be sure to look up for our redemption draws near.
• 1:34:46
  God bless and goodbye. Amen.
• 1:35:00
  I came from the sun, but one of you.
• 1:35:05
  Straight from that you. Really owe me all of my life.
• 1:35:09
  I was beating up all. Of my life I didn't handle.
• 1:35:13
  All in my life I was stuck in a trap.
• 1:35:15
  All in my life. I didn't have no wrap.
• 1:35:17
  I didn't know why my life was so weak.
• 1:35:19
  I didn't know why my life was a wrap.
• 1:35:22
  I didn't know why I couldn't get up.
• 1:35:24
  I was so stuck. And the monkey was stuck till I
• 1:35:26
  found out. And I broke everything till I
• 1:35:28
  fell down. And they took everything until I
• 1:35:31
  was hurting my heart. It was straight.
• 1:35:33
  Yeah, I was broke. And I had all this pain.
• 1:35:35
  Held on home. It got harder, this hole.
• 1:35:37
  Then I went to the side in this mode.
• 1:35:40
  I had no truth but to look to my guy.
• 1:35:42
  He gave me to me. You're both in my eyes.
• 1:35:44
  He gave me earrings and he told me I'm blessed.
• 1:35:46
  He told me he just believe in this time.
• 1:35:49
  I told him I can't change all of my ways.
• 1:35:51
  He said I got you, just look at this.
• 1:35:53
  I looked at him and he showed me his ways.
• 1:35:55
  Then he just told me how I am this time.
• 1:35:58
  Then he just told me I'm not in this world.
• 1:36:00
  He told me I come from the end of the fuck.
• 1:36:02
  I'm a new creature. I come from the sun from the one
• 1:36:05
  and only straight from them and see really on me.
• 1:36:08
  I came from the sun I was really with them and heavenly places
• 1:36:11
  I'm sealing. Y'all can't even go that way.
• 1:36:15
  Y'all don't even know that way. Y'all want to play like Patty
• 1:36:18
  cake but this ain't no game but the star right?
• 1:36:22
  You wipe this so fake when? You walk under me.
• 1:36:25
  And I know you're a snake. You think you can beat me but.
• 1:36:28
  You got no. Guy where you want?
• 1:36:30
  No way I take out that. Chopper, I'll put on your top.
• 1:36:34
  And I'll break on your face. I see you laughing.
• 1:36:37
  You think that you got? Me, but you got no way the evil
• 1:36:41
  you said. For my life is OK.
• 1:36:43
  'Cause it's made for my good. My God is created.
• 1:36:46
  He created you, so you really is good.
• 1:36:50
  I said all these things. 'Cause I know when it's.
• 1:36:52
  True and you know you is good. Don't like I did.
• 1:36:55
  In case we ain't no winning. Games you can never win.
• 1:36:57
  I know the things that's gonna happen to you when you die.
• 1:37:00
  In the head. In the head dude isn't living
• 1:37:03
  your life 'cause you know you can never go and get safe.
• 1:37:06
  You know his crazy, his mercy was too from you.
• 1:37:08
  When you're my son at the plot. I thought you could take on my
• 1:37:12
  God's spot now or you can die hot.
• 1:37:14
  You was really tweaking. I come from the sun from the one
• 1:37:17
  and only straight from them. Is he really owe me?
• 1:37:20
  I came from the sun, I was really with them and heavenly
• 1:37:23
  places I'm sealing. Y'all can't even go that way.
• 1:37:27
  Y'all don't even know God.
