- 0:30Speaker 1: Absolutely fantastic and very excited to share a conversation with
- 0:33Speaker 1: you because this is the kind of story that I
- 0:35Speaker 1: really love to study because this is what life is
- 0:38Speaker 1: all about. We make decisions. We come back later on
- 0:41Speaker 1: in life and say, I got a story to share.
- 0:44Speaker 1: You want to listen? And this is one of those stories, dude.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Yes, it is. It's been an exciting one, too. The
- 0:53Speaker 2: book's a good read. And cut free, it'll help everybody.
- 0:59Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you said that because we are
- 1:01Speaker 1: in a moment where I think that if there is
- 1:03Speaker 1: judgmental situations, it's not against other people. We're up against ourselves.
- 1:08Speaker 1: We're taking on ourselves. And cut free, a hell's angels
- 1:11Speaker 1: ride to redemption is one of those where you look
- 1:13Speaker 1: at that image in the mirror and you say, all right,
- 1:17Speaker 1: all right, now what are we going to do about it?
- 1:18Speaker 1: And that's what I love about it is that you
- 1:20Speaker 1: face that monster.
- 1:24Speaker 2: I chased it, and it's because the Lord chased me
- 1:27Speaker 2: for a long, long time also. That monster was from
- 1:32Speaker 2: a young man that read a book called The Cross
- 1:35Speaker 2: and the Switchblade, and that set a seed in his
- 1:38Speaker 2: life from a rural boy in Nelsonville, Ohio, and then
- 1:42Speaker 2: off to the Army, a young man, and came back
- 1:45Speaker 2: a man. And yes, it's an identity that you chase.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Everybody wants to have one. Everybody chases a horizon. It
- 1:51Speaker 2: just took me a long time To top out on
- 1:54Speaker 2: a horizon where the Lord said, it's my time now. Yes.
- 1:58Speaker 2: And I gave it to him. Yes.
- 1:59Speaker 1: Oh, my God. If you were in one of these
- 2:02Speaker 1: southern churches down here, dude, we'd be raising our arms
- 2:05Speaker 1: and jumping into a hallelujah song right now with that
- 2:07Speaker 1: little thing you just said.
- 2:10Speaker 2: We're not late at all.
- 2:11Speaker 1: So, Oh my God, listen to you.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Oh my God.
- 2:13Speaker 1: You know, but you do say something that's very powerful.
- 2:15Speaker 1: And I just, I want people to understand this because
- 2:18Speaker 1: it is a relationship. And the thing is though, is
- 2:20Speaker 1: that you say the Lord was chasing you. I so
- 2:24Speaker 1: agree with that. It's when you finally take your butt
- 2:26Speaker 1: off that bike and you start walking saying, all right, I'm,
- 2:30Speaker 1: I'm ready to listen. And that's, that's what I feel
- 2:32Speaker 1: in this book.
- 2:36Speaker 2: What you have in this book is a chapter, and
- 2:40Speaker 2: I won't tell you all about it, but I'll let
- 2:42Speaker 2: you in on a little secret about it. It's about
- 2:44Speaker 2: a man. It's about a brother, a brother that's been
- 2:47Speaker 2: praying for me for going on 40 years now, probably.
- 2:51Speaker 2: And that prayer with me headed to Mexico, running from ATF, U.S. Marshals,
- 2:56Speaker 2: on the run, on the lambs. After peeling off that identity,
- 2:59Speaker 2: the hell's angels, 1% or patch, you know? And I
- 3:02Speaker 2: opened that box up and there was a Bible and
- 3:04Speaker 2: there's literature and there's the Holy Ghost rose from there.
- 3:07Speaker 2: And that's when the Lord said, I have you now.
- 3:09Speaker 2: And that was the change of my life. I knew
- 3:12Speaker 2: it was coming, but I didn't know how heavy. And
- 3:15Speaker 2: he came pretty heavy. He came pretty heavy.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Now, is this where you found those cassette tapes of
- 3:20Speaker 1: those sermons? Because my God, that's what I grew up
- 3:23Speaker 1: with in the state of Montana. My preacher's on tape.
- 3:29Speaker 2: You know, the identity is, you know, that people have
- 3:34Speaker 2: a problem with it or scared. They fear it. They
- 3:37Speaker 2: fear peeling something away that you're so accustomed to. They're
- 3:40Speaker 2: so addicted to. They're so abused with. And they're, again,
- 3:43Speaker 2: so afraid of. And once they peel that off, they
- 3:47Speaker 2: don't know where they're wanting to go. Well, I tell you,
- 3:50Speaker 2: I'll say it like this. I don't have what you need,
- 3:53Speaker 2: but I know who does. And his name's Gene.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
- 3:57Speaker 2: I love your heart. He died on the cross. Yeah,
- 4:00Speaker 2: he died on the cross for you folks out there, too.
- 4:02Speaker 2: For you, too.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Replenishing your heart while sharing a great message. What is
- 4:08Speaker 1: that moment like for you? Because, I mean, you've got
- 4:10Speaker 1: to have your ups and downs, your twists and your spins.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Because you know where you once were. But the one
- 4:16Speaker 1: thing that I love most about you, Joby, you're in
- 4:18Speaker 1: your moment of now. And isn't that what the Bible
- 4:21Speaker 1: is about? Be in your now.
- 4:26Speaker 2: This is what my calling was. I'm 70 years old,
- 4:32Speaker 2: and people say, you know, boy, if you just look back. No,
- 4:35Speaker 2: I look forward, and I always look forward, and I
- 4:37Speaker 2: look up, and I look for God. And just to
- 4:40Speaker 2: tell you, you know, me at this age, you know,
- 4:42Speaker 2: with a book like this and what I'm trying to
- 4:44Speaker 2: do to help people, it's never too late. It's never
- 4:47Speaker 2: too late. And time is not the essence. It's what's
- 4:49Speaker 2: in your heart. It's what's in your soul. And if
- 4:52Speaker 2: you'll just let people look into that, and dig deep
- 4:56Speaker 2: into it, then you yourself out there can just cut
- 4:59Speaker 2: yourself free from whatever's bothering you and just walk on, man.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Joby Walters coming
- 5:07Speaker 1: up next. The name of the book, Cut Free, A
- 5:12Speaker 1: Hell's Angel's Ride to Redemption. We are back with Joby Walters.
- 5:17Speaker 1: What's so cool about Cut Free from you, Joby, is
- 5:20Speaker 1: the fact that you remind me so much of my preacher,
- 5:22Speaker 1: who is Stephen Furtick from Elevation Church, and he says,
- 5:25Speaker 1: drop those four walls of the church and get on
- 5:27Speaker 1: that street. Well, you're out there meeting 1,000 bikers and prisoners.
- 5:31Speaker 1: My God, dude, you have removed the walls of the church,
- 5:34Speaker 1: and you are saying, I've got a word for you,
- 5:36Speaker 1: and I'm here to share it with you.
- 5:40Speaker 2: That's the truth. If I can get 1,000 prisoners, whoever, addicted, whoever,
- 5:45Speaker 2: just bow to God. Put your life on his line
- 5:48Speaker 2: instead of put your life out there on that line.
- 5:50Speaker 2: You know, and he'll help you. He'll bring you out
- 5:53Speaker 2: of it. And that's why the title, he'll cut you
- 5:55Speaker 2: free from it. Yeah. And all you got to do
- 5:57Speaker 2: is trust. Grace is a blessing. Grace is a blessing
- 6:01Speaker 2: where you take it from there. is a blessing to others.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this personal question and not
- 6:06Speaker 1: to get so super religious on you here. But I mean,
- 6:09Speaker 1: the thing is, though, is that when you're stepping into
- 6:11Speaker 1: these prisons and stuff, do you not feel like that
- 6:13Speaker 1: one day you're going to meet the eyes of a
- 6:15Speaker 1: brand new Paul who's been sitting in there writing his
- 6:17Speaker 1: own proverbs and sitting there writing his own Psalms and
- 6:21Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff? I mean, because I mean,
- 6:23Speaker 1: there are so many things going on inside a church
- 6:25Speaker 1: and inside a prison that we don't know, but you're
- 6:28Speaker 1: willing to step into that fire and find out.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Yes, I am. You know what you're going to see
- 6:35Speaker 2: and what you're going to find. When I went to prison,
- 6:37Speaker 2: I took the Lord with me and I preached in
- 6:39Speaker 2: prison for the Lord in prison. And I found out
- 6:43Speaker 2: while you're in there, you know, and when you look
- 6:45Speaker 2: through that window and people are looking down through that
- 6:47Speaker 2: small window through their cell, want to know what you're
- 6:49Speaker 2: going to say that day or who are you or
- 6:51Speaker 2: who is that guy and all the politics and everything
- 6:53Speaker 2: going on. Let me tell you this. What people want
- 6:57Speaker 2: in life, and there's three words for it, and especially prisoners, okay?
- 7:02Speaker 2: Or a prisoner in anything, you know, right down the
- 7:05Speaker 2: line to PTSD. There you go. All they're looking for
- 7:10Speaker 2: is three things, and that's love, respect— and forgiveness. And
- 7:15Speaker 2: my book can show you that.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Oh my God, Joby, you just opened up a brand
- 7:20Speaker 1: new can of worms. When you said that a prisoner,
- 7:22Speaker 1: it doesn't mean you have to be in prison. How
- 7:24Speaker 1: about these people that are currently imprisoned inside their jobs
- 7:28Speaker 1: because they fear what's going to happen to this nation.
- 7:31Speaker 1: They have become prisoners and they're doing things that their
- 7:33Speaker 1: bosses don't want them to do. They need a book
- 7:35Speaker 1: like cut free because they need to get out there
- 7:38Speaker 1: and be like you and be free and, you know,
- 7:40Speaker 1: and get out there and communicate with others.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Don't be afraid. You know, you're going to get enough.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Yeah. It takes strength and it takes courage, you know,
- 7:55Speaker 2: and courage. You have a man backing you up that
- 7:58Speaker 2: has no backup in him. And that's our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 8:00Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Whose idea was it to put this video together because
- 8:05Speaker 1: I was totally blown away by it. I mean, I mean,
- 8:08Speaker 1: this is just an amazing piece of work that really
- 8:12Speaker 1: gets inside the head and heart.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Well, we needed something out there to get people's attention.
- 8:20Speaker 2: And we went down to a church down in Scottsdale,
- 8:26Speaker 2: a big church, met Joe Nee. And we sat down
- 8:29Speaker 2: and I thought, man, we're just going to chop it
- 8:31Speaker 2: up for a bit, you know, about God here for
- 8:33Speaker 2: a half hour or so. Well, we got into it.
- 8:36Speaker 2: We got deep. And we went for about three hours
- 8:39Speaker 2: of talking. And it just, everything about this game, this journey,
- 8:45Speaker 2: I'm taking it. And it's really upped my game every day.
- 8:49Speaker 2: And the team I have is just so awesome. And
- 8:52Speaker 2: every move that we made through this book, through prayer,
- 8:56Speaker 2: we've succeeded. Through God.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Those mountain ranges that I see in the video, is
- 9:01Speaker 1: that Arizona since you're talking about Scottsdale?
- 9:05Speaker 2: Well, it's far from Scottsdale where I live. I'm off
- 9:08Speaker 2: the grid clear up. I've been northeastern Arizona on a
- 9:11Speaker 2: ranch called the Flying H. I ride the rough on
- 9:14Speaker 2: good horses, you know. I have hound dogs to keep
- 9:18Speaker 2: the mountain lions off the calves, and I'm a cowboy.
- 9:21Speaker 2: I asked God, I said, why'd you put me clear
- 9:23Speaker 2: out here with everything I got going on, Lord? And
- 9:26Speaker 2: the Lord said, Joby, just so you'll get to know
- 9:29Speaker 2: me better. Oh, my God. I'm getting to know him.
- 9:33Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest, Joby. I mean, if there
- 9:36Speaker 1: was to be a third book of the Bible, I
- 9:38Speaker 1: want a book of Joby because I mean, the way
- 9:40Speaker 1: that you write and the way that you share these
- 9:42Speaker 1: stories is it's so modern and it's so speaks the
- 9:45Speaker 1: truth of where we would like to be. But we
- 9:48Speaker 1: don't have a leader like a Joby in our life
- 9:50Speaker 1: until now with the releasing of cut free.
- 9:54Speaker 2: If you'll just step forward and answer that knock, then
- 9:58Speaker 2: maybe you can be that leader to because he'll answer it,
- 10:01Speaker 2: and then you'll know. You'll know that it's truth, it's grace,
- 10:06Speaker 2: and by the power of God, you can be saved.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Anybody else on those bikes? Are they coming to you, Joby, saying, man,
- 10:12Speaker 1: you opened up the door for me. All I wanted
- 10:14Speaker 1: to do was belong. I didn't realize it was going
- 10:16Speaker 1: to be to the wrong group. But, Joby, you've opened
- 10:19Speaker 1: up the door for me to be in the right group.
- 10:23Speaker 2: I just hope it gives you strength to be able
- 10:25Speaker 2: to say that and to be able to cut yourself
- 10:27Speaker 2: from it. That's all. It just takes power. The power
- 10:30Speaker 2: of God can do it, but it takes you to
- 10:32Speaker 2: believe and believe you me. When he got a hold
- 10:36Speaker 2: of me, I believe, I believe, and I believe this
- 10:39Speaker 2: book will help me too.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Man, Joby, you got to come back to this show
- 10:42Speaker 1: anytime in the future. This door is always going to
- 10:44Speaker 1: be open for you. And let's spread that word. Let's
- 10:46Speaker 1: drop those walls of that church and let's get out
- 10:49Speaker 1: there and let's share some peace with others that need it.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Hey, I'll tell you what, it's great to be here
- 10:55Speaker 2: and the invitation will stick. I'll be back.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Thank you. Will you be brilliant today? Okay, Joby?
- 11:00Speaker 2: Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
