0:17
Speaker 3: Many of you know him.
0:19
Speaker 4: Of course that Kevin show is going to be great.
0:21
Speaker 5: The only thing that could be greater of course would
0:23
Speaker 5: be that Donald show.
0:24
Speaker 6: But we don't have that so we have that Kevin show.
0:27

0:57
Speaker 7: It's Kevin McCullough, Monday through Friday on That Kevin Show.
1:08
Speaker 7: And now, from the Connors & Sullivan Broadcast Studios, the
1:12
Speaker 7: man who is not what he wants to be.
1:15
Speaker 2: But is way grateful that he's not who he used
1:18
Speaker 2: to be, here's.
1:24
Speaker 3: All right, glad to have you with us. Kevin McCullough,
1:26
Speaker 3: very glad to be with you. It is the Wednesday edition.
1:29
Speaker 3: We will answer the question, how do we live? We
1:32
Speaker 3: will talk about some Bibles that need to get into
1:34
Speaker 3: the hands of some people that need them. We've got
1:37
Speaker 3: some great, great things to talk about by way of
1:40
Speaker 3: wellness because it is the Wednesday. But I've decided I'm
1:44
Speaker 3: going to start a new feature on this show because
1:48
Speaker 3: every now and then, there are people that are showing
1:52
Speaker 3: courage in ways that need to be not just recognized,
1:55
Speaker 3: but actually highlighted and called out and congratulated for what
1:59
Speaker 3: they're doing. Because friends, we're going to lose the culture
2:02
Speaker 3: if we don't start showing courage. I'm going to tell
2:05
Speaker 3: you about a really interesting situation for a New England
2:12
Speaker 3: Patriots running back. And I don't usually even like the
2:16
Speaker 3: New England Patriots. So anyway, but we're going to call it,
2:22
Speaker 3: we're going to recognize these people as doing what's called
2:26
Speaker 3: declaring it, declaring their faith. Every heart declare it.
2:30
Speaker 1: Every heart declare it. Every voice proclaim.
2:39
Speaker 8: Jesus, you are.
2:45
Speaker 3: All right. So that's the idea. We're going to we're
2:47
Speaker 3: going to talk about someone who showed great courage in
2:50
Speaker 3: doing this because he didn't have to. And yet he
2:54
Speaker 3: chose to because somewhere in Massachusetts, there's a 15 year
2:58
Speaker 3: old girl today that has not seen her parents or
3:01
Speaker 3: her older brother in many, many months. And it's not
3:04
Speaker 3: because they hurt her and it's not because she did
3:06
Speaker 3: anything that they did anything to her that was negligent
3:10
Speaker 3: or in any way, you know, malpractice towards their own child.
3:14
Speaker 3: It's simply because they are Christians and they have a
3:18
Speaker 3: belief very strongly about something and they spoke that faith
3:24
Speaker 3: out loud. Joseph and Arlene Kutzko had a daughter who
3:30
Speaker 3: was attending Algonquin Regional High School in Northborough, Massachusetts. According
3:36
Speaker 3: to the family's account, a school counselor began socially transitioning
3:40
Speaker 3: their daughter. A new name? male pronouns, and all of
3:46
Speaker 3: it without telling them. When the Kutzkows found out and objected,
3:52
Speaker 3: and they objected plainly, grounded in their faith, the counselor
3:57
Speaker 3: filed a report with the Massachusetts Department of Children and
4:00
Speaker 3: Families Services, DCF, and they investigated an allegation of physical abuse.
4:06
Speaker 3: So the counselor at the school tells the authorities that
4:09
Speaker 3: the father is abusing their daughter physically. Well, that proved
4:15
Speaker 3: to be disproven and unfounded. And then, having cleared the
4:21
Speaker 3: father of the accusation and the allegation that opened the
4:24
Speaker 3: case to begin with, the state decided to keep the
4:27
Speaker 3: child anyway. Full legal guardianship and a restraining order barring
4:32
Speaker 3: the parents and their son from any contact with their
4:35
Speaker 3: own daughter and sister. Now, just let that sink in
4:40
Speaker 3: for a second. You falsely accuse the parents, and then
4:47
Speaker 3: after accusing them, you make them prove that they didn't
4:52
Speaker 3: do what you're accusing them of doing, which is hideous
4:54
Speaker 3: to begin with. And after they're cleared, the state still said, no,
5:00
Speaker 3: they can't go back to you. Well, Trayvon Henderson of
5:06
Speaker 3: the New England Patriots, a running back, heard about this.
5:11
Speaker 3: And so... He posted on his social media Proverbs 22.6.
5:19
Speaker 3: Train up a child in the way they should go,
5:21
Speaker 3: and when they are old, they will not depart from it.
5:23
Speaker 3: I had to write it a bazillion times as a kid.
5:28
Speaker 3: And he said by posting that flatly that God had
5:31
Speaker 3: given rights to these parents to raise their daughter in
5:36
Speaker 3: their faith, and that that right was being stripped away
5:40
Speaker 3: from them by the state. He called the parents trying
5:45
Speaker 3: to honor God and lead their daughter toward the truth,
5:48
Speaker 3: and he prayed for justice. Now, I don't know anything
5:51
Speaker 3: about Trayvon Henderson personally, but I know courage when I
5:55
Speaker 3: see it, and I know how rare it is for
5:57
Speaker 3: a 23-year-old professional athlete, three preseason games and one regular
6:02
Speaker 3: season game into his NFL season to plant a flag
6:05
Speaker 3: on the single most radioactive cultural question of the decade,
6:09
Speaker 3: and rather than stay quiet and protect the endorsement deal's
6:12
Speaker 3: He didn't have to say anything. He said something anyway,
6:15
Speaker 3: and he said it in the plainest, most biblically grounded
6:18
Speaker 3: language available. Parents have a sacred duty to their children,
6:24
Speaker 3: and no bureaucracy gets to override that. Here's what should
6:28
Speaker 3: terrify every parent listening. Regardless of your politics or your theology,
6:34
Speaker 3: the Kutzkows didn't lose their daughter because a court found
6:37
Speaker 3: them unfit. They lost because they disagreed on record with
6:42
Speaker 3: a school employee's unilateral decision to begin transitioning their child
6:47
Speaker 3: in secret. The next hearing in all of this is
6:50
Speaker 3: October 29th. And between now and then, a family that
6:53
Speaker 3: has done nothing wrong except believe what their church has
6:56
Speaker 3: always taught and what they've always believed as part of
6:58
Speaker 3: their faith about the nature of the human person will
7:02
Speaker 3: keep fighting simply to be allowed back into their own
7:05
Speaker 3: daughter's life. Not to control her, not to punish her.
7:10
Speaker 3: To parent her. To sit with her. Praying with her.
7:16
Speaker 3: Walking with her through something that is very hard. But
7:19
Speaker 3: loving parents have the capacity to do that. This is
7:22
Speaker 3: why I was so ticked at James Tallarico the other day.
7:26
Speaker 3: He doesn't have any kids and he says that parents
7:28
Speaker 3: won't do all of this. Parents will. Here's the thing.
7:33
Speaker 3: Each of us that is a parent knows this. We
7:36
Speaker 3: need to train up our children in the way they
7:39
Speaker 3: should go. That doesn't mean something threatening. It doesn't mean
7:43
Speaker 3: something that is harmful for them. It's a promise made
7:49
Speaker 3: to every parent willing to take up the sacred, exhausting,
7:53
Speaker 3: and unglamorous work of raising a child in the fear
7:56
Speaker 3: of the Lord. The Kutzko's are still trying to keep
8:01
Speaker 3: that promise. And as far as I'm concerned, the state
8:05
Speaker 3: of Massachusetts should get out of their way and let them.
8:09
Speaker 3: But here's the thing. Today, we're going to recognize Trayvon
8:13
Speaker 3: Henderson and the Kutzko parents as the first recipients of
8:18
Speaker 3: the Every Heart Declare It recognition here at That Kevin Show.
8:25
Speaker 3: Because every heart should declare it. Jesus is worthy. Regardless
8:31
Speaker 3: of what the state thinks about it, he is worthy.
8:37
Speaker 3: And If you believe that and you stand up for that,
8:40
Speaker 3: especially in the well-being of your kid, you have every
8:44
Speaker 3: right to expect the state to respect that faith and
8:50
Speaker 3: your parental sovereignty. So good going, Trayvon. Super proud of you.
8:57
Speaker 3: Thank you for letting your heart declare the truth today.
9:08
Speaker 9: Every heart declares Every voice proclaim Jesus, you are worthy
9:21
Speaker 9: Yesterday the same Let the earth keep singing Let.
9:30
Speaker 1: The heavens ring Everything with breath alive.
9:45
Speaker 8: Worship Christ the King.
9:48
Speaker 1: Worship Christ the King. Here he.
10:11
Speaker 8: Is, from New York, that Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
10:18
Speaker 10: All right.
10:18
Speaker 3: Welcome back. Glad to have you with us. It's that
10:21
Speaker 3: Kevin show everything online at that Kevin show dot com,
10:25
Speaker 3: including our long running series. How do we live? It's
10:29
Speaker 3: there in podcast form every single day. And I hope
10:32
Speaker 3: that you come back and take avail of it. If
10:35
Speaker 3: you have not had a chance to hear it live,
10:38
Speaker 3: these these shepherds that come and spend a week with us,
10:41
Speaker 3: I really value that time. And I know that they
10:44
Speaker 3: really care about encouraging you in the same process. What
10:48
Speaker 3: are we encouraging each other about? Well, if you're not
10:51
Speaker 3: a believer, this may not make sense, but that's okay.
10:54
Speaker 3: I'm going to challenge you with it anyway. I believe
10:57
Speaker 3: that we as Christians, those of us that follow Jesus,
11:00
Speaker 3: have a calling to impact the culture. And we live
11:03
Speaker 3: in a culture that may not like God, may not
11:06
Speaker 3: like his word, especially.
11:08
Speaker 10: They may.
11:09
Speaker 3: They may even be fine with the generic version of
11:11
Speaker 3: God in their own brain. But when you attach that
11:14
Speaker 3: God to a Bible that has biblical, um, attributes attached
11:19
Speaker 3: to it in terms of who he is, that becomes
11:21
Speaker 3: a completely different matter. And certainly here in the New
11:25
Speaker 3: York tri-state area, but I think in a lot of
11:27
Speaker 3: Western culture, the people that believe in those things are
11:30
Speaker 3: looked upon with suspicion or even outright hostility, which brings
11:34
Speaker 3: us back to Psalm 27, which is what we're talking
11:36
Speaker 3: about this week with Ryan Batesall of Emergence Church in
11:39
Speaker 3: New Jersey, where the writer says in verse two, though
11:45
Speaker 3: the Armies encamp around me, want to eat my flesh,
11:49
Speaker 3: want to kill me. And not just one of them,
11:51
Speaker 3: but an entire army of them taking me, you know,
11:54
Speaker 3: 1700 to one and odds that I will not fear
12:00
Speaker 3: because God is with us. And we're looking at this
12:01
Speaker 3: entire chapter this week. And Ryan, it's been a really
12:04
Speaker 3: illuminating discussion thus far. So thank you again for doing it.
12:08
Speaker 5: But we have to break.
12:09
Speaker 3: We're getting into a chapter now where the focus changes
12:12
Speaker 3: a little bit and it's noticeable in the language. But
12:15
Speaker 3: what are we looking at?
12:16
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think what we're seeing now is, you know,
12:18
Speaker 11: he gave us these great truths of we don't need
12:21
Speaker 11: to fear because God is with us. And the heart
12:24
Speaker 11: of that is when God's the most beautiful thing, right?
12:28
Speaker 11: And so the most beautiful thing in our life can't
12:31
Speaker 11: be ever taken from us.
12:33
Speaker 5: Like we really don't have to live in fear.
12:37
Speaker 11: And now you got it right, Kevin. You can feel
12:40
Speaker 11: it almost. It shifts a bit to how do we...
12:44
Speaker 11: build that heart like what are what's the weight room
12:48
Speaker 11: you know what's what's the exercises in our life that
12:51
Speaker 11: begin to build that heart and and that's the next
12:54
Speaker 11: couple verses in the passage so.
12:57
Speaker 3: Why don't you just touch on them meet them for
13:00
Speaker 3: us and then tell us what.
13:00
Speaker 5: They mean You know what? I actually don't have my Bible.
13:03
Speaker 3: Let me read them for you and we'll go from there.
13:06
Speaker 5: And it would be cool. It would be cool if
13:08
Speaker 5: I just ripped it right out of memory. You'd be
13:10
Speaker 5: very impressed.
13:11
Speaker 3: Well, you do memorize a good chunk of your messages
13:14
Speaker 3: every week. So you probably have inputted whatever's in to
13:17
Speaker 3: this this week's sermon. But let me just pick up
13:21
Speaker 3: on verse seven. Hear my voice when I call. Lord,
13:25
Speaker 3: be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says
13:28
Speaker 3: of you, seek his face, your face, Lord, I will seek.
13:32
Speaker 3: Don't hide your face from me. Don't turn your servant
13:35
Speaker 3: away in anger. You've been my helper. Don't reject me
13:38
Speaker 3: or forsake me, God, my savior. That's just verses seven
13:42
Speaker 3: through nine there.
13:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, nice.
13:44
Speaker 11: And this gets into some of what we began to
13:47
Speaker 11: hit on yesterday about just the importance of building the
13:53
Speaker 11: posture of, hey, I'm going to seek God. I'm going
13:56
Speaker 11: to seek him in really two ways. One, corporately, which
13:59
Speaker 11: was so helpful, what you shared yesterday about the need
14:02
Speaker 11: to get around the people of God individually. in times
14:05
Speaker 11: of fear in times where things are hard don't run
14:07
Speaker 11: and don't isolate that's where people get in huge trouble
14:11
Speaker 11: and you know I was thinking yesterday throughout the day
14:14
Speaker 11: a little bit after we hung up I think a
14:17
Speaker 11: lot of Christians don't realize how encouraging their presence is
14:22
Speaker 11: on a Sunday.
14:24
Speaker 5: People might feel.
14:27
Speaker 11: Think people even understand me being in this room is
14:32
Speaker 11: probably an encouragement to someone. Them seeing me here, me
14:37
Speaker 11: saying hello, I think we really miss that sometimes.
14:40
Speaker 5: And so the importance of corporate.
14:43
Speaker 11: Seeking, and then I think the importance of individual seeking.
14:48
Speaker 5: What are the the habits and disciplines and routines in
14:53
Speaker 5: how I seek.
14:54
Speaker 11: The Lord personally and privately, that's going to cultivate this,
14:58
Speaker 11: this courage that comes only from the Lord in my
15:01
Speaker 11: relationship with him.
15:03
Speaker 3: If you will, holding to your gym analogy, these are the,
15:06
Speaker 3: these are the reps. These are the things we, we
15:09
Speaker 3: make practical habits of, and hopefully they become a routine that,
15:15
Speaker 3: that helps us shape our few, our spiritual outlook.
15:18
Speaker 11: And before we even jumped on the radio today, we
15:22
Speaker 11: were talking a little off the phone about Kobe and Jordan.
15:27
Speaker 5: And one of the things.
15:31
Speaker 11: Would get a workout in before anyone else he was
15:34
Speaker 11: famous for forehand workouts where he would go and he'd
15:36
Speaker 11: shoot around he just felt like hey by me putting
15:39
Speaker 11: this time in I'm putting time in that no one
15:43
Speaker 11: else is and I'm going to make sure to get
15:44
Speaker 11: some extra reps every day over my competition and hey
15:49
Speaker 11: that's cool with basketball but it's far more powerful if
15:54
Speaker 11: we find to go how do I get a little
15:58
Speaker 11: extra time with the Lord each day even if it
16:00
Speaker 11: means setting my alarm 15 minutes earlier.
16:03
Speaker 5: I'm just going to get in his word. I'm going
16:04
Speaker 5: to get some time in prayer.
16:06
Speaker 11: I might bring a journal with me and write some
16:09
Speaker 11: thoughts down, but I want to put in the work, um,
16:12
Speaker 11: because in the day of trouble, uh, just like Kobe
16:16
Speaker 11: knew in the, in the big moment, in the big game,
16:18
Speaker 11: I put the time in, in the day of trouble, um,
16:21
Speaker 11: By the grace of God, I'll put some time in
16:23
Speaker 11: and and the fruit's going to come out.
16:26
Speaker 10: Yeah.
16:27
Speaker 5: You know, that's the seeking piece.
16:29
Speaker 3: And he goes into verse 10 and 11 with even
16:35
Speaker 3: kind of an ultimatum. Like, even if my father and
16:39
Speaker 3: mother forsake me, the Lord, you'll receive me. Teach me
16:43
Speaker 3: your way. Lead me in a straight path because of
16:46
Speaker 3: my oppressors. Do not turn me over to the desire
16:50
Speaker 3: of my foes for false witnesses rise up against me,
16:53
Speaker 3: spouting malicious accusations. We've all had those moments in our lives,
16:58
Speaker 3: I'm sure. But he's saying the seeking of God's face,
17:03
Speaker 3: especially in the times where it gets really hard, that's
17:07
Speaker 3: where you know God's presence the most.
17:10
Speaker 10: Yeah.
17:10
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
17:12
Speaker 11: And this is this gets us to the second thing.
17:14
Speaker 11: And we're not just seeking, but we want to be
17:17
Speaker 11: taught by God.
17:18
Speaker 5: Right.
17:18
Speaker 11: Like like James says, we don't just want to hear
17:21
Speaker 11: God's word. We actually want to do it, you know,
17:23
Speaker 11: and that that's really the teaching piece.
17:26
Speaker 5: And this.
17:32
Speaker 11: What are my go-to verses in these moments that I've
17:37
Speaker 11: forged into my heart? And so, you know, two I
17:40
Speaker 11: think of. One for me is real simple. God is
17:44
Speaker 11: my shield, right? And so, If God's my shield, that's
17:48
Speaker 11: a good shield. And I can walk pretty courageously into
17:53
Speaker 11: anything if God is my shield. The other thing, it
17:57
Speaker 11: was just really freeing for me is, hey, it's appointed
18:00
Speaker 11: for man to die once and after that to face judgment.
18:03
Speaker 5: And the truth is... I used to think nothing bothered me.
18:11
Speaker 5: And then I.
18:12
Speaker 11: Had kids and I realized, I don't think I ever
18:15
Speaker 11: really cared about anyone. I don't think I was fearless.
18:19
Speaker 11: I just don't think I cared about anything. And then
18:23
Speaker 11: I did care about something and I cared that they
18:25
Speaker 11: lived and I felt a real responsibility to make sure
18:27
Speaker 11: they lived.
18:29
Speaker 5: And part of that was good and part.
18:35
Speaker 11: Yes, I'm to love my children. I'm to pray for them,
18:38
Speaker 11: share the gospel with them, try to give them truth
18:41
Speaker 11: and good example.
18:43
Speaker 5: I don't ultimately keep them alive. That at the end
18:48
Speaker 5: of the day, that's God's role.
18:51
Speaker 11: And some of my fear early in my parenting crept
18:54
Speaker 11: in because I was trying to do something that was
18:56
Speaker 11: God's job. And I think anytime– it's interesting to trace
19:00
Speaker 11: our anxieties because we might find idolatry behind them or
19:05
Speaker 11: we might find we're putting ourselves in the place of
19:08
Speaker 11: God thinking we're responsible for something he's only responsible for.
19:13
Speaker 5: And that was really a freeing thing for me to realize.
19:16
Speaker 11: And that's where– not fear so what's the truth I
19:29
Speaker 11: need to get into my heart so I don't fear
19:31
Speaker 11: and that was a huge one for me.
19:33
Speaker 3: I think this is important friends that we seek him
19:36
Speaker 3: and that we ask him to teach us more about
19:39
Speaker 3: who he is and more about how that all works
19:41
Speaker 3: out real quickly Ryan you're teaching this weekend if people
19:45
Speaker 3: come to emergence what will they hear and what time
19:48
Speaker 3: should they be there and where are they located at?
19:50
Speaker 5: Sure. I mean, we're still in our study in Psalms.
19:53
Speaker 11: We're in Psalm 51, kind of on that. the back
19:58
Speaker 11: end of the moments of life where we blow it
20:01
Speaker 11: because we all do you know and uh and the
20:04

Speaker 10: Here he is from New York.
21:15
Speaker 13: That Kevin.
21:17
Speaker 8: Kevin McCullough.
21:19
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Times Square. It's That Kevin Show, thatkevinshow.com.
21:22
Speaker 3: Just relaunched, brand new, it all slick and looking nice,
21:26
Speaker 3: so go check it out. And I'm glad to have
21:29
Speaker 3: everything there. We never put anything behind a paywall because
21:31
Speaker 3: we want you to have access to it, whether it's
21:33
Speaker 3: the videos or the columns or the podcasts, etc. So
21:36
Speaker 3: thank you for going there. You know, if you own
21:38
Speaker 3: a business, you know this, you're familiar with this cycle.
21:43
Speaker 3: You've got revenue that's coming in, but But it's too
21:48
Speaker 3: many days away, and you've got some bills that need
21:51
Speaker 3: to be paid now. And whether you're in production, whether
21:55
Speaker 3: you're in real estate, farming, there's all kinds of industries
22:00
Speaker 3: where you run into cycles like that. Infrequently, they may be,
22:05
Speaker 3: but sometimes you really need help. And you need business solutions,
22:09
Speaker 3: whether it be SBA or short-term access, whatever you need,
22:14
Speaker 3: And you need to be able to trust people that
22:16
Speaker 3: you work with to know that you're understanding what you're
22:20
Speaker 3: taking out and so forth. So what do you do
22:22
Speaker 3: when you're in that situation? You got payroll, you got vendors,
22:26
Speaker 3: you got unexpected expenses, and they don't always cooperate with
22:29
Speaker 3: the revenue calendar.
22:31
Speaker 5: Okay.
22:32
Speaker 3: It's called a timing gap. It's not a solvency gap.
22:35
Speaker 3: It's a timing gap. How do you solve that problem? Well,
22:37
Speaker 3: I am super excited to introduce you to our newest
22:40
Speaker 3: sponsor here at That Kevin Show, Mock.com. Not M-O-C-K, it's M-A-C-H,
22:46
Speaker 3: as in speed, as in super speed. Mockfunding.com and everything
22:51
Speaker 3: that they do. Tony Bode is the president and founder
22:55
Speaker 3: of Mock Funding, and he joins me. And Tony, the
22:57
Speaker 3: reason that you and I even cross paths with each
23:00
Speaker 3: other is that I operate a small business, and I,
23:03
Speaker 3: like many small business owners, occasionally need help in making
23:07
Speaker 3: that timing gap bridge over with the ability to do it.
23:12
Speaker 3: So we're grateful that you're here, grateful that you're a
23:14
Speaker 3: sponsor of the show. But help me understand how prevalent
23:18
Speaker 3: of a need are funding gaps when we're talking about
23:21
Speaker 3: small businesses these days?
23:23
Speaker 5: Great.
23:23
Speaker 13: Great to be here, Kevin. Thank you for having me
23:25
Speaker 13: over here. So it's it's actually quite common. And actually,
23:29
Speaker 13: it's the reason why this is a multibillion dollar industry.
23:33
Speaker 13: Small businesses have always struggled with the need for for
23:37
Speaker 13: cash flow just to fill in those gaps. Traditionally, they
23:42
Speaker 13: would go to their bank to solve these issues. But
23:45
Speaker 13: as banking regulations throughout the years have gotten worse and
23:48
Speaker 13: worse and more difficult to navigate, that's where the private
23:51
Speaker 13: sector stepped in. And this is kind of, it's an
23:55
Speaker 13: industry that's taken over since about late 1999, and it's
23:59
Speaker 13: grown since. And so what we do is we work
24:02
Speaker 13: with businesses, business owners in particular, that.
24:04
Speaker 4: Have ongoing revenue.
24:07
Speaker 13: But don't have the timing right where maybe their receivables
24:11
Speaker 13: are out 30 to 60 days. And we provide revenue-based financing,
24:15
Speaker 13: which is just unsecured financing. They don't need to have
24:19
Speaker 13: great personal credit to qualify. It doesn't really depend on
24:22
Speaker 13: what you have on the personal side as much as
24:24
Speaker 13: it depends on how strong of a business you have
24:27
Speaker 13: and how well.
24:28
Speaker 4: You run your business. So it's a great tool. It's
24:30
Speaker 4: a great tool.
24:31
Speaker 13: A lot of companies are doing it nowadays more and more.
24:33
Speaker 13: Even major banks are getting into it. And we've been
24:36
Speaker 13: able to help a lot of business owners since 2018.
24:38
Speaker 3: I want people to understand how you came about this.
24:41
Speaker 3: You were actually in banking. And you were frustrated with
24:45
Speaker 3: the inability to help customers that were coming through saying,
24:49
Speaker 3: I'm in a timing flow and it's a problem. And
24:53
Speaker 3: you weren't able to solve their problems through the banking
24:56
Speaker 3: system that you were a part of. So you actually
24:58
Speaker 3: went out and said, I'm going to start helping people
25:00
Speaker 3: solve this problem on our own. That's right.
25:03
Speaker 13: I actually stumbled upon the industry in 2012.
25:07
Speaker 4: I was in banking for six years. I was in
25:09
Speaker 4: commercial lending.
25:10
Speaker 3: Talk about how important integrity is in this process and
25:13
Speaker 3: kind of how you structure what mock funding does differently.
25:16
Speaker 4: 100%.
25:17
Speaker 13: So I always said that when money is your product,
25:19
Speaker 13: it just leaves room for a lot of bad behavior
25:21
Speaker 13: out there. It's an industry that isn't as regulated as
25:25
Speaker 13: the personal sector, personal lending sector. So we hear a
25:28
Speaker 13: lot of clients saying, hey, I've been promised things from
25:30
Speaker 13: another company, from a broker. And oftentimes just to get
25:33
Speaker 13: me into a transaction that I didn't want to be in.
25:36
Speaker 13: And so what differentiates us is that we take the
25:39
Speaker 13: consultative approach because every client is different. every client has
25:44
Speaker 13: the ability to qualify for a plethora of different things.
25:47
Speaker 13: So depending on your situation, depending on your credit, the
25:49
Speaker 13: first thing we like to do is have a conversation.
25:51
Speaker 13: So one of the things we differentiate from our competitors
25:55
Speaker 13: is that we're looking at long-term relationships and we're not
25:57
Speaker 13: afraid to walk away from a deal. If we feel
25:59
Speaker 13: like what you can achieve right now with your business,
26:02
Speaker 13: isn't exactly what you need in order to be able
26:04
Speaker 13: to accomplish your goal. We'll tell you that we're in
26:07
Speaker 13: it for the long-term and that's not the short term.
26:09
Speaker 3: So If you can't truly help them, you'll tell them that.
26:11
Speaker 3: And if you can, you'll show them the different options
26:14
Speaker 3: that are available.
26:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.
26:16
Speaker 13: And look, we have connections with major SBA partners. Even
26:20
Speaker 13: through the SBA, we can fast track most of our
26:22
Speaker 13: applications in as little as two weeks. So that's actually
26:25
Speaker 13: quite a ways away from what I was doing, traditional
26:29
Speaker 13: lending at the bank. So we've kind of opened up
26:32
Speaker 13: our possibilities where we can work with A-tier clients that
26:36
Speaker 13: have perfect credit, have been in business for years and years.
26:38
Speaker 13: And also the guys that are just getting started, maybe
26:40
Speaker 13: they've been in business a year, their credit isn't as good,
26:43
Speaker 13: but there's options and solutions we can provide them as well.
26:46
Speaker 5: Yeah.
26:47
Speaker 3: Well, friends, I'm just excited because I'd love to pass
26:50
Speaker 3: on recommendations about people that have integrity. And you know
26:54
Speaker 3: that if you listen to this show and know me
26:56
Speaker 3: for any length of time, that is one of the
26:57
Speaker 3: most important things. Mock funding can be reached at 888-462-9442, 888-462-9442.
27:07
Speaker 3: You can also go online, mockfunding.com, M-A-C-H, not M-O-C-K, M-A-C-H,
27:13
Speaker 3: like the speed, mockfunding.com, mockfunding.com, and then click through on
27:18
Speaker 3: that little Trustpilot symbol and seriously, go look and see
27:22
Speaker 3: what people have to say about the services that they've
27:25
Speaker 3: been provided. But I can just tell you from personal experience,
27:28
Speaker 3: Tony and his crew, they really care about the business.
27:30
Speaker 3: They really care about you, and I think you're going
27:32
Speaker 3: to be really super pleased with all of it. Tony,
27:34
Speaker 3: great to see you. We're going to be talking to
27:36
Speaker 3: you a lot of time on Mondays. You're going to have, like,
27:38
Speaker 3: special tips for small businesses and ways to make their
27:42
Speaker 3: workflow even more efficient. And we're looking forward to getting
27:45
Speaker 3: to know you on a, you know, a brainiac basis
27:48
Speaker 3: as well. So thanks for all your help.
27:51
Speaker 4: Looking forward to it, and I really appreciate the platform.
27:53
Speaker 3: You got it. Kevin McCullough coming right back. It's That
27:55
Speaker 3: Kevin Show.
28:12
Speaker 8: Here he is from New York, that Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
28:19
Speaker 8: Welcome back.
28:19
Speaker 3: It's That Kevin Show, thatkevinshow.com. We are in the midst
28:22
Speaker 3: of trying to supply Bibles to those who need them,
28:25
Speaker 3: to those who cannot get them, and to those who
28:27
Speaker 3: desperately want them. You may not be in any of
28:30
Speaker 3: those categories, but the people that we're trying to help are.
28:33
Speaker 3: They check all three boxes. They want a Bible, they
28:35
Speaker 3: can't get one, and they really want to have it
28:39
Speaker 3: for themselves, but to also share with their friends and
28:42
Speaker 3: to bring other people to Jesus Christ. It's really an
28:45
Speaker 3: amazing thing that the Bible League has been doing for
28:48
Speaker 3: almost 90 years to in which every Bible that goes
28:51
Speaker 3: out ends up impacting about 12 people for the cause
28:53
Speaker 3: of Jesus. So it's really, really a powerful way to
28:56
Speaker 3: invest in the kingdom of God. Michael Woolworth is back
28:59
Speaker 3: with us. And Michael, it just strikes me that every
29:03
Speaker 3: day during this campaign, we have people to thank because
29:07
Speaker 3: they've given Bibles. And then there's people that are actively
29:09
Speaker 3: praying for those Bibles to be sent.
29:12
Speaker 5: Well, you know what?
29:12
Speaker 14: If you can't give today, you know, feel no guilt.
29:15
Speaker 14: I mean, I really mean that. But pray for those
29:17
Speaker 14: who have the means to give because we've said together
29:20
Speaker 14: as two ministries, let's get it done for just north
29:22
Speaker 14: of 10,000 waiting believers that we know by name at
29:25
Speaker 14: Bible League. Kevin, I'm grateful for people like Deborah of Rutgersville,
29:29
Speaker 14: New Jersey.
29:29
Speaker 5: She said, I'm in.
29:31
Speaker 14: Maria of Morris Plains, New Jersey said, count me in,
29:34
Speaker 14: Michael and Kevin. And then friends listening in Shepherdsville, Kentucky
29:37
Speaker 14: today saying we're in at 100%. at a $ 150 gift,
29:41
Speaker 14: enough to put Bibles into the empty waiting hands of
29:44
Speaker 14: 30 believers today. And again, above all today, my prayer
29:48
Speaker 14: at Bible League, I tell you my affiliates at Bible League,
29:51
Speaker 14: my colleagues would share in this. Our prayer above all
29:54
Speaker 14: is what? God would be glorified in these stories. Every
29:56
Speaker 14: one of these stories of redemption, and transformation. He gets
30:00
Speaker 14: the glory for that. We take absolutely no credit. We've
30:03
Speaker 14: seen this happen too many times to think that, you know,
30:06
Speaker 14: we can take the credit for it. This is scripture
30:09
Speaker 14: rooted joy and change when a life has changed and
30:13
Speaker 14: they're never the same, right? And there's this incredible joy
30:16
Speaker 14: that follows when they can open up the pages of scripture,
30:18
Speaker 14: read about the God who loves them. So again, take heart.
30:22
Speaker 14: The gospel is going forth. And again, we get to
30:24
Speaker 14: be a part of it today for the princely sum
30:26
Speaker 14: of only $ 5 a Bible.
30:28
Speaker 3: If you want to participate, the phone number is 1-800-937-9673.
30:30
Speaker 11: 1-800-YES-WORD.
30:30
Speaker 3: It might be easier to remember.
30:31
Speaker 2: 1-800-YES-WORD.
30:31
Speaker 3: But the number is 1-800-937-9673.
30:32
Speaker 5: 1-800-937-9673.
30:32
Speaker 3: Or go to ThatKevinShow.com.
30:33
Speaker 8: ThatKevinShow.com.
30:34
Speaker 3: Top of the page. Click the banner. and you're right
30:51
Speaker 3: there on the giving page, and you can decide how
30:54
Speaker 3: many Bibles you want to give. And if you do
30:56
Speaker 3: it right now, whatever number you put in there, it's
30:58
Speaker 3: going to be doubled. Not that you're going to pay
31:00
Speaker 3: for them. Someone else is going to come alongside and
31:02
Speaker 3: match that. But if you're going to do 20 Bibles,
31:05
Speaker 3: that's a $ 100 gift. Someone else is going to come
31:07
Speaker 3: along and do 20 Bibles in matching your 20 Bibles.
31:11
Speaker 3: So that's 40 Bibles, 1-800-937-9673, 1-800-937-9673, or thatkevinshow.com. And I
31:21
Speaker 3: made mention, Michael, that there are people actively praying for
31:25
Speaker 3: Bibles right now. Where are they praying from?
31:28
Speaker 14: Well, you know, as we talk about the work of
31:30
Speaker 14: the Great Commission, you know, your part in that today
31:33
Speaker 14: can be as simple as what? It's sending a Bible
31:35
Speaker 14: right to waiting believers. You know, I'm thinking of the
31:37
Speaker 14: four types of soil, right, that Jesus talks about. In
31:40
Speaker 14: Matthew 13, the parable of the sower, Kevin, he talks about, again,
31:43
Speaker 14: the different responses to the word of God.
31:47
Speaker 8: You know, the seed is sown, if you will.
31:48
Speaker 14: It falls by the wayside.
31:50
Speaker 2: That's the.
31:51
Speaker 14: That's those who have hardened hearts, right? They're refusing to
31:53
Speaker 14: hear this precious gospel. There's the stony places where that
31:57
Speaker 14: seed falls. That's the shallow faith. It lacks roots, so
32:01
Speaker 14: it dies, right? That word falls among the thorns, right?
32:05
Speaker 14: Too many worldly distractions. The life and the wealth choke
32:07
Speaker 14: the word, if you will. It doesn't have a chance
32:10
Speaker 14: in the lives of these people who have no time
32:11
Speaker 14: for it, right? And then Jesus talks about the good ground.
32:15
Speaker 14: The faithful disciples who hear, they understand, they obey the word.
32:19
Speaker 14: And it produces a great harvest. Well, the harvest is here, right?
32:22
Speaker 14: I mean, we've talked about this Bible access list. When
32:25
Speaker 14: we began engaging in that work about two years ago, Kevin,
32:28
Speaker 14: we could say with confidence at that time, there are
32:31
Speaker 14: 100 million, 100 million waiting believers in the world today
32:35
Speaker 14: that are, again, praying for God's precious word. In two
32:38
Speaker 14: years time, that has increased by 20%. We can tell
32:41
Speaker 14: you today with confidence, Bible League, Voice of the Markers,
32:44
Speaker 14: Open Doors, We can tell you that it's increased to
32:46
Speaker 14: about 120 million. God is truly at work in his
32:50
Speaker 14: world through his word. And let me tell you three
32:52
Speaker 14: of those praying for Bibles right now. Augustine is 30.
32:56
Speaker 14: He's in Albania, a former atheist, now leading a Bible
32:59
Speaker 14: study with 20 believers.
33:01
Speaker 4: They need Bibles.
33:02
Speaker 14: Siam is in Nepal, the country that's being ravaged by
33:05
Speaker 14: these flash floods right now. He's a former Hindu. His
33:09
Speaker 14: family has shunned him now that he follows Jesus. He
33:11
Speaker 14: speaks the Nepali language. He's praying for a Bible. And
33:14
Speaker 14: then one more, Maria is in Colombia.
33:16
Speaker 8: She's widowed.
33:17
Speaker 14: She has two children, one of those with cerebral palsy.
33:20
Speaker 14: She's just now learning to read and write in Spanish.
33:22
Speaker 14: She's a believer. Maria is praying for the precious word
33:26
Speaker 14: of God. Kevin, I'm sharing a lot of needs today.
33:28
Speaker 14: It's 50 Bibles here, 500 there. But I also want
33:31
Speaker 14: you to hear from one of our partners. I call
33:33
Speaker 14: him a hero of the faith. The man has suffered
33:35
Speaker 14: incredibly as he ministers in South Asia. But Ramesh talks
33:39
Speaker 14: about what your gifts are doing today in his part
33:42
Speaker 14: of the world.
33:43
Speaker 15: Because of your kind help, we are able to do
33:47
Speaker 15: the great work for the Lord. Sometimes you may not
33:49
Speaker 15: know what is happening here. You may not see with
33:52
Speaker 15: your eyes, but God is doing great work. Through your donation,
33:56
Speaker 15: through your prayers, God is doing great work. So we
33:59
Speaker 15: want to just say thank you so much for your
34:02
Speaker 15: loving kindness and what you are doing for God's work
34:06
Speaker 15: in this land.
34:07
Speaker 14: Well, to hear Mike Woolworth say, thanks, please know it's genuine.
34:10
Speaker 14: But boy, there is a man that is, he's taken
34:13
Speaker 14: those gifts that you send in Christian faith, believing that
34:16
Speaker 14: what God says in Isaiah 55 is true. What my
34:19
Speaker 14: word will go forth, it will accomplish my purpose. And
34:21
Speaker 14: then in Christian love, right? We're told over and over again,
34:25
Speaker 14: it's not enough just to say, I care, do something right.
34:28
Speaker 14: And Ramesh is telling you it's making an incredible difference.
34:32
Speaker 3: So right now, friend, we need you to just go
34:33
Speaker 3: to the phone, make a call and give as many
34:36
Speaker 3: Bibles as you can. And it's going to be matched
34:39
Speaker 3: Bible for Bible 1-800-937-9673, 1-800-YES-WORD, 1-800-937-9673, 1-800-YES-WORD. Or maybe you're
34:41
Speaker 3: the kind of person that prefers to just go online
34:43
Speaker 3: and do it all yourself. You can go to thatkevinshow.com,
34:45
Speaker 3: click the Bible League banner at the top of the page.
35:00
Speaker 3: shouldn't take more than about two minutes to either make
35:02
Speaker 3: the call or to go online and to complete the form.
35:05
Speaker 3: Either way, you're going to be sending Bibles and no
35:08
Speaker 3: matter how many you send, they're going to be matched
35:10
Speaker 3: Bible for Bible. So if you can give a 500
35:15
Speaker 3: or 300 Bible gift right now, that would be what? $ 1, 500.
35:19
Speaker 3: That's going to be doubled and it's going to become

35:44
Speaker 3: Kevin next week.
36:06
Speaker 12: Serving it up with a no-drink minimum.
36:10
Speaker 8: It's that Kevin Mac show.
36:11
Speaker 3: All right, glad to have you with us, Kevin McCullough.
36:14
Speaker 3: Thank you for being here. And if you have not
36:16
Speaker 3: yet done it, you need to call DFW Direct Insurance.
36:21
Speaker 3: Do you know why? My family was looking for a
36:24
Speaker 3: better option for health insurance. This was just a few
36:28
Speaker 3: months ago. We had started out on one of those
36:30
Speaker 3: medical cost sharing plans that you hear the guy with
36:33
Speaker 3: the real smooth voice talking about in the commercials. And
36:36
Speaker 3: he was like, you know, we want to share your costs. Well,
36:40
Speaker 3: it didn't really work for us. Like when we started
36:44
Speaker 3: on it, it was a lower price. And as our
36:47
Speaker 3: family grew and we had a family of five and
36:51
Speaker 3: so forth, now we were paying like five times as
36:53
Speaker 3: much and we weren't getting the services that we needed anymore. Uh, and,
36:57
Speaker 3: and I didn't want to keep paying out of pocket
36:59
Speaker 3: for everything all the time. So that was about the
37:02
Speaker 3: time I heard about DFW direct insurance and Vic Pritchard.
37:06
Speaker 3: And my friend Shane Moore told me about him and
37:09
Speaker 3: he said, Kev, you got to check them out. And
37:11
Speaker 3: I did. And then I spoke with Vic on the
37:13
Speaker 3: phone and he said, Kevin, I think we can help you.
37:16
Speaker 3: He goes, we've got a lot of people that are
37:18
Speaker 3: on those plans and they think that they're saving money. Uh,
37:21
Speaker 3: but you gotta, you gotta look at your costs, both
37:24
Speaker 3: out of pocket. what you pay for your premium, and
37:26
Speaker 3: then if you have anything major, what happens there. And
37:29
Speaker 3: he has more than 20 plans. Vic has more than
37:32
Speaker 3: 20 plans at his disposal that have no out-of-pocket costs.
37:37
Speaker 3: So the price you pay in your premium is the
37:39
Speaker 3: price that you pay. So friends, call Vic up. Seriously,
37:45
Speaker 3: he saved us $ 400 a month. That's almost $ 5, 000 for
37:50
Speaker 3: the coming year that we're going to have in our
37:51
Speaker 3: pocket because of what he saved us with DFW Direct Insurance.
37:56
Speaker 3: And I just, I can't say thank you enough to
37:58
Speaker 3: Vic Pritchard. Call his personal cell number. I asked him,
38:01
Speaker 3: I said, Vic, can I tell other people to call
38:03
Speaker 3: you because of what you did for us? And he said, sure.
38:06
Speaker 3: He said, give them my cell. So here's his actual
38:10
Speaker 3: cell number, 817-449-5557.
38:10
Speaker 5: 817-449-5557.
38:11
Speaker 10: 817-449-5557.
38:11
Speaker 3: And tell Vic that I was the one that told
38:23
Speaker 3: you to call. Cause he may be, who is this?
38:26
Speaker 3: I say, Kevin McCullough told me to call you. He'll
38:28
Speaker 3: be like, Oh, okay, cool. Um, eight, one, seven, four, four, nine, five, five, five, seven,
38:33
Speaker 3: but seriously, $ 400. And I asked him, I said, how
38:36
Speaker 3: much do you save people on average? He goes, well,
38:39
Speaker 3: over the years we've been doing this since what, 2009,
38:42
Speaker 3: he goes 38% on average per, per person that they,
38:47
Speaker 3: that they enroll. And there's no enrollment period for the
38:50
Speaker 3: companies that, um, that Vic is working with. So you
38:53
Speaker 3: don't have to do it at a certain time of
38:55
Speaker 3: the year. You can do it now. Open enrollment doesn't matter.
38:57
Speaker 3: That's only for the Affordable Care Act plans. These plans,
39:01
Speaker 3: you can activate them tomorrow. Call Vic right now. Start
39:05
Speaker 3: saving money on your health insurance. For us, it was
39:08
Speaker 3: $ 400 a month, $ 5, 000 for the year.
39:08
Speaker 5: Incredible.
39:09
Speaker 3: 817-449-5557 is the number.
39:10
Speaker 13: 817-449-5557.
39:10
Speaker 4: All right.
39:10
Speaker 3: One other thing I wanted to touch base on, I
39:12
Speaker 3: was just reading on this. I've kind of adopted recently
39:24
Speaker 3: a low carb keto style diet and. that is the
39:31
Speaker 3: weight loss plan that PhD weight loss essentially helps you
39:36
Speaker 3: institute into your life. But I was just reading that.
39:40
Speaker 3: Some research has just come out in the journal called
39:42
Speaker 3: Cell Metabolism, where they studied 42 adults who had obesity
39:46
Speaker 3: pre-diabetes and excess liver fat, had a fatty liver. And
39:51
Speaker 3: in a randomized clinical trial, the participants were assigned three
39:54
Speaker 3: weight loss diets, the low-carb keto, a Mediterranean diet, and
39:58
Speaker 3: a low-fat, mostly plant-based diet. Here's the thing. In all
40:01
Speaker 3: three groups, muscle insulin sensitivity improved by around 50%, helping
40:06
Speaker 3: the muscles take up blood sugar more efficiently.
40:08
Speaker 5: But.
40:09
Speaker 3: Liver fat decreased about 67% among people following the keto
40:15
Speaker 3: diet compared to 45% under the other two. So if
40:19
Speaker 3: you want to lose liver fat, do the keto thing.
40:24
Speaker 3: And my friends at phdweightloss.com will help you do that
40:27
Speaker 3: right now. They've helped me. But do the keto diet
40:31
Speaker 3: if you want to lose 67% more fat. liver fat.
40:35
Speaker 3: If you've got a fatty liver, that's the way to go.
40:37
Speaker 3: It beats the other two hands down. All right, Calvin
40:40
Speaker 3: McCullough coming right back.
40:41
Speaker 8: Don't go away.
40:41
Speaker 1: 10, 3, 2, 1.
40:53
Speaker 7: Somewhere in the bowels of the city that never sleeps.
40:56
Speaker 3: Kevin McCullough, radio host with Salem Media.
40:59
Speaker 2: Is a man also not sleeping.

Speaker 4: Syndicated radio talk show host Kevin McCullough.
41:03
Speaker 2: And that guy would like a word with you.
41:06
Speaker 3: Many of you know him, Gomez Lutz-Trudamas.
41:09
Speaker 5: Of course that.
41:09
Speaker 4: Kevin show is going to be great.
41:11
Speaker 3: The only thing that could be.
41:12
Speaker 2: Greater, of course, would be that Donald show.
41:13
Speaker 6: But we don't have that, so we have that Kevin show.
41:16
Speaker 7: Featuring the music of Dick Tunney and the Dream.
41:20
Speaker 2: In Color Orchestra.

41:37
Speaker 7: you some eternity to it, plus practical tips for family life,

Speaker 7: spiritual life, and good old regular life.
41:47
Speaker 2: It's Kevin McCullough, Monday through Friday, on That Kevin Show.
41:51
Speaker 4: That Kevin Show.
41:58
Speaker 7: And now, from the Connors & Sullivan Broadcast Studios, the
42:02
Speaker 7: man who is not what he wants to be, but
42:05
Speaker 7: is way grateful that he's not who he used to be,
42:09
Speaker 7: here's The Devil!
42:13
Speaker 3: All right, glad to have you with us. Kevin McCullough,
42:15
Speaker 3: very glad to be with you. It is the Wednesday edition.
42:19
Speaker 3: We will answer the question, how do we live? We
42:22
Speaker 3: will talk about some Bibles that need to get into
42:24
Speaker 3: the hands of some people that need them. We've got
42:26
Speaker 3: some great, great things to talk about by way of
42:29
Speaker 3: wellness because it is the Wednesday. But I've decided I'm
42:33
Speaker 3: going to start a new feature on this show. Because
42:37
Speaker 3: every now and then, there are people that are showing
42:41
Speaker 3: courage in ways that need to be not just recognized,
42:45
Speaker 3: but actually highlighted and called out and congratulated for what
42:49
Speaker 3: they're doing. Because friends, we're going to lose the culture
42:52
Speaker 3: if we don't start showing courage. I'm going to tell
42:55
Speaker 3: you about A really interesting situation for a New England
43:01
Speaker 3: Patriots running back. And I don't usually even like the
43:06
Speaker 3: New England Patriots. So anyway, it's but we're going to
43:09
Speaker 3: call it the the we're going to recognize these people
43:14
Speaker 3: as doing what's called declaring it, declaring their faith. Every
43:18
Speaker 3: heart declare it. All right, so that's the idea. We're
43:36
Speaker 3: going to talk about someone who showed great courage in
43:40
Speaker 3: doing this because he didn't have to, and yet he
43:43
Speaker 3: chose to. Because somewhere in Massachusetts, there's a 15-year-old girl
43:48
Speaker 3: today that has not seen her parents or her older
43:51
Speaker 3: brother in many, many months. And it's not because they
43:54
Speaker 3: hurt her and it's not because she did anything that
43:57
Speaker 3: they did anything to her that was negligent or in
44:00
Speaker 3: any way, you know, malpractice towards their own child. It's
44:04
Speaker 3: simply because they are Christians and they have a belief
44:08
Speaker 3: very strongly about something. And they spoke that faith out loud.
44:16
Speaker 3: Joseph and Arlene Kutzko said, had a daughter who was
44:20
Speaker 3: attending Algonquin Regional High School in Northborough, Massachusetts. According to
44:26
Speaker 3: the family's account, a school counselor began socially transitioning their daughter.
44:32
Speaker 3: A new name, male pronouns, and all of it without
44:36
Speaker 3: telling them. When the Kutzkows found out and objected, And
44:43
Speaker 3: they objected plainly, grounded in their faith. The counselor filed
44:47
Speaker 3: a report with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families Services, DCF.
44:52
Speaker 3: And they investigated an allegation of physical abuse. So the
44:55
Speaker 3: counselor at the school tells the authorities that the father
45:00
Speaker 3: is abusing their daughter physically. Well, that proved to be
45:05
Speaker 3: disproven and unfounded. And then again, Having cleared the father
45:11
Speaker 3: of the accusation and the allegation that opened the case
45:14
Speaker 3: to begin with, the state decided to keep the child anyway.
45:17
Speaker 3: Full legal guardianship and a restraining order barring the parents
45:22
Speaker 3: and their son from any contact with their own daughter
45:25
Speaker 3: and sister. Now just let that sink in for a second.
45:32
Speaker 3: You falsely accuse the parents, and then after accusing them,
45:39
Speaker 3: you make them... Proved that they didn't do what you're
45:42
Speaker 3: accusing them of doing, which is hideous to begin with.
45:46
Speaker 3: And after they're cleared, the state still said, no, they
45:50
Speaker 3: can't go back to you. Well, Trayvon Henderson of the
45:56
Speaker 3: New England Patriots, a running back, heard about this. And
46:01
Speaker 3: so he posted on his social media, Proverbs 22, 6.
46:08
Speaker 3: Train up a child in the way they should go,
46:10
Speaker 3: and when they are old, they will not depart from it.
46:13
Speaker 3: I had to write it a bazillion times as a kid.
46:17
Speaker 3: And he said by posting that flatly, that God had
46:20
Speaker 3: given rights to these parents to raise their daughter in
46:25
Speaker 3: their faith, and that that right was being stripped away
46:29
Speaker 3: from them by the state. He called the parents... trying
46:35
Speaker 3: to honor God and lead their daughter toward the truth,
46:37
Speaker 3: and he prayed for justice. Now, I don't know anything
46:40
Speaker 3: about Trayvon Henderson, personally, but I know courage when I
46:45
Speaker 3: see it, and I know how rare it is for
46:47
Speaker 3: a 23-year-old professional athlete, three preseason games and one regular
46:52
Speaker 3: season game into his NFL season, to plant a flag
46:55
Speaker 3: on the single most radioactive cultural question of the decade,
46:58
Speaker 3: and rather than stay quiet and protect the endorsement deal's
47:02
Speaker 3: He didn't have to say anything. He said something anyway,
47:05
Speaker 3: and he said it in the plainest, most biblically grounded
47:08
Speaker 3: language available. Parents have a sacred duty to their children,
47:13
Speaker 3: and no bureaucracy gets to override that. Here's what should
47:17
Speaker 3: terrify every parent listening. Regardless of your politics or your theology,
47:23
Speaker 3: the Kutzkows didn't lose their daughter because a court found
47:26
Speaker 3: them unfit. They lost because they disagreed on record with
47:32
Speaker 3: a school employee's unilateral decision to begin transitioning their child
47:37
Speaker 3: in secret. The next hearing in all of this is
47:40
Speaker 3: October 29th. And between now and then, a family that
47:42
Speaker 3: has done nothing wrong except believe what their church has
47:46
Speaker 3: always taught and what they've always believed as part of
47:48
Speaker 3: their faith about the nature of the human person will
47:52
Speaker 3: keep fighting simply to be allowed back into their own
47:54
Speaker 3: daughter's life. Not to control her, not to punish her.
48:00
Speaker 3: To parent her. To sit with her. Praying with her.
48:06
Speaker 3: Walking with her through something that is very hard. But
48:09
Speaker 3: loving parents have the capacity to do that. This is
48:11
Speaker 3: why I was so ticked at James Tallarico the other day.
48:15
Speaker 3: He doesn't have any kids and he says that parents
48:17
Speaker 3: won't do all of this. Parents will. Here's the thing.
48:22
Speaker 3: Each of us that is a parent knows this. We
48:26
Speaker 3: need to train up our children in the way they
48:28
Speaker 3: should go. That doesn't mean something threatening. It doesn't mean
48:33
Speaker 3: something that is harmful for them. It's a promise made
48:39
Speaker 3: to every parent willing to take up the sacred, exhausting,
48:43
Speaker 3: and unglamorous work of raising a child in the fear
48:46
Speaker 3: of the Lord. The Kutzko's are still trying to keep
48:50
Speaker 3: that promise. And as far as I'm concerned, the state
48:54
Speaker 3: of Massachusetts should get out of their way and let them.
48:58
Speaker 3: But here's the thing. Today, we're going to recognize Trayvon
49:03
Speaker 3: Henderson and the Kutzko parents as the first recipients of
49:07
Speaker 3: the Every Heart Declare It recognition here at That Kevin Show.
49:14
Speaker 3: Because every heart should declare it. Jesus is worthy. Regardless
49:21
Speaker 3: of what the state thinks about it, he is worthy.
49:26
Speaker 3: And if you believe that and you stand up for that,
49:30
Speaker 3: especially in the well-being of your kid, you have every
49:34
Speaker 3: right to expect the state to respect that faith and
49:40
Speaker 3: your parental sovereignty. So good going, Trayvon. Super proud of you.
49:46
Speaker 3: Thank you for letting your heart declare the truth today.
49:57
Speaker 9: Every heart declare it. Every voice proclaim. Jesus, you are worthy.
50:10
Speaker 9: Yesterday the same.
50:13
Speaker 8: Let the earth keep singing.
50:24
Speaker 9: Worship Christ the King.
50:58
Speaker 8: Here he is from New York, That Kevin, Kevin McCullough.
51:05
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back. It's That Kevin Show, and Dr.
51:07
Speaker 3: Monique Yohannan is back with us on this Wednesday where
51:10
Speaker 3: we take a look at wellness. And Dr.
51:13
Speaker 8: Yohannan, you have helped us.
51:15
Speaker 3: She's with the Independent Women's Forum, by the way, and
51:17
Speaker 3: she's the director of the Center for Better Health at
51:20
Speaker 3: Independent Women. we have talked in recent weeks about everything
51:25
Speaker 3: from government intrusion to the attempt by public schools to
51:30
Speaker 3: recategorize children and their sex and people that ripped off
51:35
Speaker 3: the system, doing that to kids and doing permanent damage
51:37
Speaker 3: and all sorts of things. And in my monologue, just
51:40
Speaker 3: in the last segment, I was highlighting this family in
51:42
Speaker 3: Massachusetts who had their kid taken completely, you know, under
51:48
Speaker 3: a false attack said, The father was abusive. That turned
51:51
Speaker 3: out to be completely not true. And yet the state
51:53
Speaker 3: still has not given the Kutzko's their daughter back, even
51:58
Speaker 3: though all charges against him have been disproven thoroughly. And
52:03
Speaker 3: it just makes me reminded, Dr. Yohannan, that the health
52:08
Speaker 3: of our society is kind of on a teetering edge.
52:11
Speaker 3: Like people that are making decisions about things have a
52:14
Speaker 3: lot of power and sometimes they abuse that power. And
52:17
Speaker 3: I see them doing a lot of harm with it.
52:20
Speaker 3: You actually have some good news for us today. Welcome back,
52:23
Speaker 3: first of all. And thanks for being here.
52:26
Speaker 16: Thank you so much. You know, Kevin, when you're talking
52:29
Speaker 16: about parents and I think parents' rights being cut out,
52:33
Speaker 16: To me, that really fits very much into Maha and,
52:36
Speaker 16: you know, what RFK Jr. sort of tapped into as
52:40
Speaker 16: a movement. I will tell you, last week I was
52:44
Speaker 16: at the Republican National Convention.
52:46
Speaker 3: The first ever midterm convention?
52:48
Speaker 16: Well, actually, the Democrats had three of them from 1974
52:51
Speaker 16: to 1982.
52:52
Speaker 8: Oh, interesting.
52:53
Speaker 16: They stopped doing them then. But yes, the first time
52:57
Speaker 16: the Republicans did it. You know, it was really, I
53:02
Speaker 16: would say, especially the second night, joyful, if I can
53:05
Speaker 16: use that. But I will tell you, the biggest roar
53:07
Speaker 16: of the crowd there was for RFK Jr. And when
53:11
Speaker 16: President Trump the first night even mentioned his name, people
53:14
Speaker 16: leapt to their feet and the roar of the crowd.
53:18
Speaker 3: That's interesting, because if you just watch the media and
53:20
Speaker 3: if you just listen to the talking heads, they make
53:23
Speaker 3: you think that Maha is dead and buried. They make
53:26
Speaker 3: you think that RFK is damaged goods. And that there's just,
53:30
Speaker 3: you know, nothing good that can come of that anymore.
53:32
Speaker 3: And you're sensing that that was not, in fact, the
53:35
Speaker 3: case in that location.
53:38
Speaker 16: Well, and even beyond that, AOC is trying to appeal
53:41
Speaker 16: to Maha voters now. I mean, that I think people
53:45
Speaker 16: are understanding that there is a message, and I think
53:48
Speaker 16: it gets to the core of how you started this,
53:50
Speaker 16: that parents... have been disrespected. And how do we get
53:56
Speaker 16: back to a place where we understand parents have to
53:59
Speaker 16: be the ones who make the decisions for their children?
54:03
Speaker 16: They make decisions about their education, about their medical care,
54:07
Speaker 16: that that has to be about parents. That has to
54:10
Speaker 16: be our default. We went too far away from that.
54:13
Speaker 16: And I think that's a big part of why we
54:15
Speaker 16: end up with Maha.
54:17
Speaker 3: I think that you're right. I am very encouraged by
54:19
Speaker 3: you telling me that, though. So I'm I'm going to
54:22
Speaker 3: be hopeful. I've often said that if you just look
54:26
Speaker 3: at the stuff on paper, you know, the fatigue. Now
54:30
Speaker 3: we're in a war. You know, there should be there
54:32
Speaker 3: should be a lot of reasons why Trump and the
54:34
Speaker 3: Republicans shouldn't do very well in November. And they may not.
54:37
Speaker 3: I mean, if we're just going by history, the types
54:40
Speaker 3: of things that they're kind of pushing uphill on, they
54:42
Speaker 3: may not be able to successful. But they're not going
54:45
Speaker 3: down without a fight. And I like that. I like
54:47
Speaker 3: the fact that they're saying, hey, we've actually done what
54:49
Speaker 3: we promised we would do. And would you rather have
54:52
Speaker 3: those of us that keep our promises go back and
54:55
Speaker 3: finish the job as opposed to whatever that is over there? Like,
54:59
Speaker 3: I can't even begin to describe how crazy the others.
55:02
Speaker 3: You talk about AOC. She's a total Marxist, like sympathizing
55:10
Speaker 3: Islamic radical adjacent, you know, member of the squad member.
55:14
Speaker 3: Then she says she's not a part of the socialist,
55:17
Speaker 3: the Democrat socialist. Then the party gets mad at her.
55:20
Speaker 3: So she goes and rejoins the Democratic socialist to make
55:23
Speaker 3: sure that she has good standing in their membership. And
55:25
Speaker 3: now she's coming out and she's said one thing out
55:28
Speaker 3: of one side of her mouth. She's saying something else
55:30
Speaker 3: to the other side. By the way, she is one
55:31
Speaker 3: of these people that I really take issue with because
55:33
Speaker 3: she has all kinds of opinions about what I should
55:36
Speaker 3: be doing with my children. And she has no children.
55:39
Speaker 3: James Tallarico in Texas, the same thing. He wants to
55:42
Speaker 3: run for the United States Senate and tell every parent
55:43
Speaker 3: like me who has been up at 2 a.m., who
55:46
Speaker 3: has done the feedings, who has gone through the long,
55:49
Speaker 3: arduous task of sleepless nights and all the other stuff.
55:52
Speaker 3: He wants to tell me what is good for my kids.
55:55
Speaker 16: You know, Kevin, just preaching to the choir. I mean,
55:58
Speaker 16: so didn't you hear Woke One was crazy?
56:01
Speaker 3: That was the other thing. She goes, well, I shouldn't
56:04
Speaker 3: have done that. And then she comes back.
56:06
Speaker 6: So and God is non-binary, I guess.
56:09
Speaker 16: And there are six genders.
56:12
Speaker 3: But why stop at six? If you're James Tallarico, why
56:15
Speaker 3: not have 58?
56:17
Speaker 8: Well, sure. Exactly.
56:19
Speaker 16: You know, ultimately, nobody's going to care about my kids
56:23
Speaker 16: more than I do. There is no government, there is
56:27
Speaker 16: no policy, however well-intentioned, that is ever going to put
56:31
Speaker 16: my kid first. And frankly, I'm going to be the
56:34
Speaker 16: one dealing with the consequences and also the joys of
56:38
Speaker 16: being a parent. But I need to be allowed to
56:41
Speaker 16: be a parent.
56:43
Speaker 3: And we don't have to ask permission for that. That's
56:45
Speaker 3: a divine right that God instilled in his creation. And
56:48
Speaker 3: we have every right to demand that. And that's why
56:51
Speaker 3: I'm going to fight for the Kutzko's in Massachusetts. I'm
56:54
Speaker 3: so proud of Trayvon Henderson, because as a running back
56:58
Speaker 3: for the Patriots, he has stepped up in the last
57:00
Speaker 3: 24 hours, put a big Bible verse on his social
57:03
Speaker 3: media and said it's not right that the state is
57:05
Speaker 3: taking away this this daughter. Let's shift gears a little bit.
57:10
Speaker 3: There's some very interesting things going on in pancreatic cancer,
57:15
Speaker 3: and there's a new drug, and this is good news.
57:17
Speaker 3: Tell us the good news.
57:19
Speaker 16: It is such good news. So the drug, I'm going
57:22
Speaker 16: to give you the brand name. I usually don't speak
57:24
Speaker 16: in brand names. The mouthful of the generic is Derricksonrasib,
57:29
Speaker 16: but it's Rasonk is the brand name. This drug was
57:33
Speaker 16: approved for basically salvage therapy for pancreatic cancer at the
57:38
Speaker 16: end of August. But there was an update on Monday
57:41
Speaker 16: that I think is worth mentioning that This drug more
57:44
Speaker 16: than doubled the survival of this disease, which basically people
57:48
Speaker 16: were living four to six months now with the first
57:52
Speaker 16: approval that they got are living more than 14 months.
57:56
Speaker 6: And the only side effect with this is people got
57:59
Speaker 6: a little rash.
58:01
Speaker 16: It is incredibly well tolerated and it's a pill.
58:05
Speaker 6: So, so amazing.
58:06
Speaker 16: It's going to be part of part D for Medicare and,
58:09
Speaker 16: you know, then we'll figure out the insurance for the rest.
58:12
Speaker 16: The study that came out on Monday, not a new approval,
58:15
Speaker 16: but basically it got a breakthrough designation as initial therapy
58:20
Speaker 16: for pancreatic cancer. It's basically in trials for other things.
58:24
Speaker 16: They peaked at the data and it looks extraordinary as
58:27
Speaker 16: initial therapy. The thing I think is most exciting, though,
58:31
Speaker 16: is about 30% of cancer deaths use the exact pathway
58:37
Speaker 16: this drug targets. So it's right now in late stage
58:40
Speaker 16: trials for lung cancer. It's being studied for colon cancer.
58:44
Speaker 16: This is going to be a game changer. And again, 30%
58:47
Speaker 16: of cancer deaths, this was a really difficult target pathway
58:52
Speaker 16: and they figured it out. So this to me is
58:56
Speaker 16: such a game changer. And again, it's a pill that
58:59
Speaker 16: maybe you get a rash.
59:00
Speaker 3: What are we learning about pathways and how to approach
59:03
Speaker 3: them for other forms?
59:05
Speaker 8: Exactly.
59:06
Speaker 16: So for example, earlier this week, we also had an
59:09
Speaker 16: immunotherapy that is for a different kind of lung cancer.
59:13
Speaker 16: So it's a different pathway. This one follows the RAS.
59:17
Speaker 16: So that's why it's called RAS-ONC. The RAS pathway, which
59:21
Speaker 16: is a growth pathway that's common to a lot of
59:23
Speaker 16: different cancers, especially lung and colon, much more common. But
59:29
Speaker 16: What you're speaking about more generally is these kind of
59:32
Speaker 16: different pathways that we used to not be able to
59:36
Speaker 16: target through a lot of innovation. And this is where
59:39
Speaker 16: I feel like the American medical system gets a bad
59:42
Speaker 16: rap in many ways. We're the people who bring these
59:46
Speaker 16: drugs to market, whatever the flaws. And there's lots to
59:50
Speaker 16: critique about the system. This is the system that is
59:54
Speaker 16: going to make this a curable disease, a disease that
59:57
Speaker 16: many people that this was a death sentence a year ago.
1:00:00
Speaker 16: Many people are going to live with it. Think about
1:00:02
Speaker 16: Ben Sasse, who essentially was talking about how, you know,
1:00:07
Speaker 16: he was saying goodbye to his family and to all
1:00:10
Speaker 16: the people he loved. And he is doing well. with
1:00:13
Speaker 16: this treatment, there are going to be a lot of
1:00:16
Speaker 16: families that get more time with their loved ones. This
1:00:19
Speaker 16: is an extraordinary breakthrough. This is where, again, I think
1:00:23
Speaker 16: about AI, lots of challenges with AI, but that's part
1:00:26
Speaker 16: of what I look for the hopeful thing is that
1:00:30
Speaker 16: this really is going to get to these kinds of
1:00:32
Speaker 16: breakthroughs faster.
1:00:33
Speaker 3: Well, and that's so encouraging, especially to someone like my
1:00:37
Speaker 3: bride and I who lost both of our moms to
1:00:39
Speaker 3: breast cancer. And Um, you know, there were more than
1:00:43
Speaker 3: 10 years difference between their deaths, but the, the one
1:00:46
Speaker 3: that died last, which was my bride's mother, um, she
1:00:49
Speaker 3: had her life extended significant. They were born the same year,
1:00:52
Speaker 3: same age, by the way, but my mom was just
1:00:54
Speaker 3: diagnosed a lot earlier, far fewer treatments, far less favorable outcome, shorter,
1:01:00
Speaker 3: you know, fight with it. Um, and my, my wife's
1:01:03
Speaker 3: mom actually survived a good number of years, seven or
1:01:07
Speaker 3: eight years after this on nearly the same diagnosis. Um,
1:01:10
Speaker 3: and that's just an, a credit to that ingenuity that
1:01:14
Speaker 3: you're talking about and what we need to be continually
1:01:17
Speaker 3: pushing for. We just don't need people like Fauci to
1:01:20
Speaker 3: come in and mandate things that we don't need to
1:01:22
Speaker 3: have mandated. So that's a different story. We won't go there.
1:01:25
Speaker 3: I will do.
1:01:26
Speaker 6: The Fauci rant any day of the week, Kevin.
1:01:28
Speaker 10: That's right.
1:01:29
Speaker 3: Dr. Monique Yohannan, always appreciate all the work you're doing.
1:01:32
Speaker 3: Thank you for being with us.
1:01:33
Speaker 6: Thanks so much, Kevin.
1:01:34
Speaker 3: You got it. Kevin McCullough coming right back. Don't go in.
1:01:37
Speaker 8: Stick around for more of That Kevin.
1:01:40
Speaker 5: Next.
1:01:58
Speaker 8: From New York, That Kevin.
1:02:02
Speaker 9: Kevin McCullough.
1:02:03
Speaker 8: Welcome back to Times Square.
1:02:06
Speaker 3: It's Kevin McCullough, That Kevin Show. You know, sometimes I
1:02:10
Speaker 3: put the headlines down and I don't talk about the
1:02:13
Speaker 3: news for a couple of seconds because sometimes there's more
1:02:16
Speaker 3: interesting things to talk about or people to talk to.
1:02:19
Speaker 3: My next guest fits that category. You may know her
1:02:21
Speaker 3: as DJ... You may know her as the big sister
1:02:24
Speaker 3: you always wanted. You may know her as someone who
1:02:27
Speaker 3: was on Dancing with the Stars or is going to
1:02:29
Speaker 3: be in Fox's next Special Forces outfit. But her name
1:02:32
Speaker 3: is Candace Cameron Bure. And she has to be. the
1:02:35
Speaker 3: happiest person in America. Most days, you can just see
1:02:38
Speaker 3: her smile. You're just thinking, how can she do that
1:02:40
Speaker 3: all the time? Like there's something weird about that. Candace,
1:02:42
Speaker 3: like knock it off. Give us a frown. At least
1:02:44
Speaker 3: every now and then.
1:02:45
Speaker 6: You're going to be known for something. A smile is
1:02:48
Speaker 6: a pretty good thing.
1:02:48
Speaker 3: That's not, well, there's many worse things. Let's put it
1:02:51
Speaker 3: that way.
1:02:51
Speaker 10: Okay.
1:02:52
Speaker 3: I have, I have a little bit of an ax
1:02:53
Speaker 3: to grind. Uh, Kirk's been on my show several times.
1:02:56
Speaker 3: Your daughter wonderful has been on my show at least once. Um,
1:03:01
Speaker 3: you've avoided me until now successfully, uh, But if they
1:03:04
Speaker 3: were to give me a clue as to something I
1:03:06
Speaker 3: shouldn't ask you about, what would it have been?
1:03:09
Speaker 6: There's nothing you could ask me that would bother me.
1:03:12
Speaker 6: I've been asked everything.
1:03:14
Speaker 3: Well, OK, there you go. Fair enough.
1:03:16
Speaker 6: And I haven't been avoiding you. I don't know why
1:03:20
Speaker 6: they haven't been on your show, but I'm going to
1:03:22
Speaker 6: talk to my public.
1:03:23
Speaker 3: I know why exactly. You've been making about 153 gazillion
1:03:27
Speaker 3: Christmas movies over the years and. I'm pretty sure that
1:03:30
Speaker 3: the math on that doesn't even fit the calendar, so
1:03:32
Speaker 3: I don't even know how you do that. By the way,
1:03:34
Speaker 3: I've been dying to ask you this. Are you familiar
1:03:37
Speaker 3: with a group called the Holderness Family?
1:03:39
Speaker 6: Yes.
1:03:39
Speaker 8: Okay.
1:03:40
Speaker 3: Have you seen their spoofs of your Christmas movies?
1:03:43
Speaker 6: I think I have.
1:03:45
Speaker 10: Okay.
1:03:45
Speaker 6: I think I have.
1:03:46
Speaker 3: If you haven't, you have to go on their YouTube
1:03:48
Speaker 3: channel and see it. It's classic, but I think you'll
1:03:50
Speaker 3: appreciate it for all the right reasons. The reason you're
1:03:54
Speaker 3: talking to us is you've got a brand new tour
1:03:55
Speaker 3: that's about to kick off, and we're excited about it.
1:03:58
Speaker 3: Last year you sold out. And I'm wondering what happened
1:04:03
Speaker 3: in the room that made you think, hey, we need
1:04:05
Speaker 3: to do this again and make deeper connections and that
1:04:09
Speaker 3: sort of thing. What what what was the secret sauce
1:04:11
Speaker 3: last year?
1:04:12
Speaker 6: I think it was just the gathering of a bunch
1:04:14
Speaker 6: of really wonderful, great women that were eager to listen,
1:04:19
Speaker 6: have fun. You know, it's an edifying night, but it's
1:04:23
Speaker 6: a fun night. And I love connecting with people. It's
1:04:28
Speaker 6: kind of why I'm taking a show on the road.
1:04:31
Speaker 6: Everyone has seen me on television or they listen to
1:04:34
Speaker 6: me on my podcast. And, and, A lot of you
1:04:38
Speaker 6: feel like you know me, but I don't really get
1:04:40
Speaker 6: to know you guys being behind the camera. So I
1:04:44
Speaker 6: wanted to take a show on the road. And it's
1:04:47
Speaker 6: a little bit like my podcast, live. And I just
1:04:51
Speaker 6: love meeting people. And I love interacting with people. So
1:04:55
Speaker 6: it's bringing people up on stage, talking to people, getting
1:04:58
Speaker 6: to know, and then sharing my heart, my faith. But
1:05:01
Speaker 6: also I have... And my guest, Dr. Tabitha, we're going
1:05:05
Speaker 6: to be talking about women's health. And, you know, I
1:05:07
Speaker 6: turned 50 years old this year. So I just want
1:05:10
Speaker 6: to learn all of the things that can better my
1:05:13
Speaker 6: life and make me healthier and the things that have
1:05:16
Speaker 6: worked and haven't worked. And that's what the whole night
1:05:18
Speaker 6: is really about, just sharing.
1:05:20
Speaker 3: That's cool. Well, my own bride has said she wants
1:05:22
Speaker 3: to get to one of them if she can. So
1:05:25
Speaker 3: we're going to see what we can do about that.
1:05:26
Speaker 4: I hope she does.
1:05:27
Speaker 3: You promised that audiences are in for something more. I
1:05:30
Speaker 3: don't know, personal than the Candace they know on TV
1:05:33
Speaker 3: or social media. How do you pull that off in
1:05:36
Speaker 3: a two-hour large room setting?
1:05:38
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know what was written exactly. I'm a
1:05:41
Speaker 6: pretty open book, even on social media. What you see
1:05:45
Speaker 6: is what you get. But it's really the connection to me.
1:05:48
Speaker 6: It's the connection with people that is making all the difference.
1:05:53
Speaker 6: I loved doing the shows last year so much. I
1:05:55
Speaker 6: did it as a trial. There were four cities that
1:05:58
Speaker 6: we went to. I didn't know if I was going
1:05:59
Speaker 6: to love bus life and how it would turn out.
1:06:03
Speaker 6: But you know what? So many people showed up. We
1:06:06
Speaker 6: had such a great time. So without a heartbeat, I
1:06:08
Speaker 6: was like, let's extend the tour and hit some new cities.
1:06:13
Speaker 6: So we're doing eight cities this year, starting September 9th
1:06:16
Speaker 6: through September 19th and kind of taking a tour from Reading, Pennsylvania, Dayton, Ohio,
1:06:22
Speaker 6: Pinley Park, kind of Chicago, Illinois, Minneapolis. We are in
1:06:27
Speaker 6: Kansas City. We're in Missouri, Michigan. In Grand Prairie, Texas
1:06:32
Speaker 6: and Austin, Texas.
1:06:33
Speaker 3: You are covering some ground in 10 days.
1:06:36
Speaker 12: I know.
1:06:37
Speaker 3: Are you sure you can do all that on a bus?
1:06:39
Speaker 3: Because that seems like especially the Minnesota Grand Prairie thing,
1:06:42
Speaker 3: that seems a long way away.
1:06:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, one of them is a pretty long drive.
1:06:45
Speaker 3: Is there something about your story that you can tell
1:06:47
Speaker 3: differently in that setting that you can't like tell? That
1:06:52
Speaker 3: doesn't come across through a camera or a screen?
1:06:54
Speaker 8: I think you can.
1:06:56
Speaker 6: For me, there's definitely a vulnerability when you're in front
1:07:01
Speaker 6: of people face to face. And when you're hearing people,
1:07:05
Speaker 6: whether they're nodding or they're saying yes or they're clapping
1:07:09
Speaker 6: or they're oohing or aahing, whatever it is, it's a
1:07:12
Speaker 6: whole different feeling for me that allows me to be
1:07:15
Speaker 6: my most vulnerable self. that I don't get when I'm
1:07:19
Speaker 6: just in front of a camera looking at the camera
1:07:23
Speaker 6: on my computer, you know, on a Zoom call.
1:07:25
Speaker 3: Do you sense that that vulnerability, and in essence, I'm
1:07:29
Speaker 3: guessing that leads to maybe what we would think of
1:07:31
Speaker 3: as authenticity, but do you think that that's missing in
1:07:35
Speaker 3: women's lives today to the degree that they wish they
1:07:37
Speaker 3: had more of it? Not because they're doing anything wrong,
1:07:41
Speaker 3: but just because life has everybody going a thousand miles
1:07:44
Speaker 3: an hour with their hair on fire.
1:07:45
Speaker 11: Exactly.
1:07:45
Speaker 5: Exactly.
1:07:47
Speaker 6: Community is so important. It's so important that we connect
1:07:51
Speaker 6: with one another. And you're right, like life is very,
1:07:53
Speaker 6: very busy and it's easy to lose that. And so
1:07:58
Speaker 6: this is I mean, it's a it's a way to
1:08:02
Speaker 6: have a connection and have a good night out. And,
1:08:06
Speaker 6: you know, I think that the show in and of itself,
1:08:09
Speaker 6: because I'm a woman of faith and it's rooted in faith.
1:08:12
Speaker 6: that's the biggest difference in my life. Like I'm going
1:08:14
Speaker 6: to share my heart, but you, I'm not going to
1:08:16
Speaker 6: do put on a show without sharing the gospel. That's
1:08:21
Speaker 6: just who I am. And, um, and I'm unashamed of everybody.
1:08:24
Speaker 3: Listening and watching. That's actually how we're Christians live at
1:08:27
Speaker 3: all the time. So I know it's crazy for you
1:08:30
Speaker 3: to hear someone say that out loud, but it's like,
1:08:32
Speaker 3: it's actually what we believe. So it's supposed to kind
1:08:35
Speaker 3: of work that way.
1:08:59
Speaker 8: From New York. that kevin kevin mccullough.
1:09:04
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna do put on a show without sharing
1:09:08
Speaker 6: the gospel that's just who i.
1:09:10
Speaker 3: Am candace.com backslash tour for the tour candace.com backslash tour
1:09:16
Speaker 3: candace.com you've always been one that's been a little on
1:09:19
Speaker 3: the ambitious side i don't even know how many christmas
1:09:22
Speaker 3: movies you've made but i know it's a lot but
1:09:24
Speaker 3: In one night, you try to bring together faith, family, fitness,
1:09:29
Speaker 3: and health. You only got two hours, Candice. How do
1:09:33
Speaker 3: you bite.
1:09:34
Speaker 8: Off all of that?
1:09:34
Speaker 6: Oh, we do it. We pull it off. We have
1:09:37
Speaker 6: all the things, even add nostalgia in there, too.
1:09:41
Speaker 3: Do you think that you can talk about any one
1:09:43
Speaker 3: of those things without touching on the others? I mean,
1:09:45
Speaker 3: you've already kind of said that faith runs through everything,
1:09:47
Speaker 3: but emotional health and... I consider like rest and getting
1:09:52
Speaker 3: enough sleep and some of those types of things in
1:09:54
Speaker 3: that category, because if you live exhausted all the time,
1:09:58
Speaker 3: you don't have any bandwidth for anybody else.
1:10:00
Speaker 5: Right.
1:10:01
Speaker 3: But like you can't be spiritually who God has made
1:10:04
Speaker 3: you to be if you're not physically caring for the
1:10:07
Speaker 3: temple on some level. And then, you know, I'm 56
1:10:11
Speaker 3: and I'm thinking about my fitness now in ways I
1:10:13
Speaker 3: didn't for a long, long time. It's just it's just
1:10:15
Speaker 3: a different stage of life. Yeah, I think it's very ambitious,
1:10:18
Speaker 3: but I congratulate you on it.
1:10:20
Speaker 6: Well, thanks. They're all tied together. My guest who is
1:10:24
Speaker 6: there for all the shows, Dr. Tabitha, she's a triple
1:10:27
Speaker 6: board certified doctor and also moved into functional health coaching.
1:10:33
Speaker 6: And she too is a Christian. So everything is synergetic
1:10:37
Speaker 6: in that it's taking care of mind, body, and soul.
1:10:41
Speaker 6: So that's why all those conversations really do work and
1:10:44
Speaker 6: can't work well without one without the other.
1:10:47
Speaker 3: Well, we talk about it sometimes. I do some specialty
1:10:51
Speaker 3: niche hours in the show throughout the week. And we
1:10:53
Speaker 3: do stuff on health weekly because I feel like a
1:10:57
Speaker 3: Christian needs to be strong in that area in order
1:11:00
Speaker 3: to be effective in the other areas. But we talk
1:11:02
Speaker 3: about the triad a lot and the mind, body and soul.
1:11:06
Speaker 3: Like it's God made all those components of us. But
1:11:10
Speaker 3: sometimes we think we're supposed to overfeed one to kind
1:11:13
Speaker 3: of the starvation of the others. And I'm not sure
1:11:15
Speaker 3: that that's what he ever intended.
1:11:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know either. So we've got some good experts.
1:11:21
Speaker 3: That sounds like a lovely night. I'm sure every guy
1:11:24
Speaker 3: listening tonight is going, oh, I wish we could be there. No,
1:11:27
Speaker 3: this is for the ladies, guys. You just have to
1:11:29
Speaker 3: give them that. Your new book.
1:11:31
Speaker 6: You're welcome to come. Yeah.
1:11:34
Speaker 3: All right.
1:11:35
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:11:36
Speaker 3: Uh, your newest book is called wild hope, wild hope.
1:11:38
Speaker 3: You've talked about this in your latest book. The culture
1:11:42
Speaker 3: uses the word hope kind of casually. And I don't
1:11:45
Speaker 3: even know if they really think about what they mean
1:11:47
Speaker 3: when they say, you know, there's hope or have hope
1:11:50
Speaker 3: or whatever. I think Christians approach it differently. Christian hope
1:11:53
Speaker 3: is supposed to be able to help us survive disappointment, um,
1:11:58
Speaker 3: deal with unanswered prayer, et cetera. I'm curious because I
1:12:02
Speaker 3: haven't read the book, but what makes hope wild in
1:12:05
Speaker 3: your context? What are you talking about there?
1:12:07
Speaker 6: Oh, because God is mind blowing. And in the terms
1:12:13
Speaker 6: that he's God, it's not he provides a hope for
1:12:17
Speaker 6: all of us that supersedes hope. Everything in life. And
1:12:22
Speaker 6: so I feel like hope is like oxygen. You can't
1:12:27
Speaker 6: really live without it. It's what helps you take the
1:12:31
Speaker 6: next step when circumstances are really difficult. Like we live
1:12:35
Speaker 6: to have hope, but the true source of hope comes
1:12:38
Speaker 6: from Jesus. And through the Holy Spirit who's been given
1:12:42
Speaker 6: to us, there's so many great verses on hope in
1:12:45
Speaker 6: the Bible that are the foundation. The foundation of it
1:12:50
Speaker 6: is that it comes from God. And so this is
1:12:53
Speaker 6: a 30 day devotional that you can do that is
1:12:57
Speaker 6: also interactive and spend 10 minutes a day walking through
1:13:02
Speaker 6: where God shows us hope in our lives and the
1:13:05
Speaker 6: scripture that supports it.
1:13:07
Speaker 3: I appreciate that for sure. All right. Quick follow up
1:13:10
Speaker 3: your next project. You're going to go be special forces
1:13:13
Speaker 3: up for Fox. This is at the end of the month.
1:13:15
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:13:16
Speaker 3: Are you excited? I worked with Stephen Baldwin for about
1:13:19
Speaker 3: nine years, about a decade and a half ago. And
1:13:22
Speaker 3: he was just in his part of his career where
1:13:24
Speaker 3: he was doing all the reality stuff all the time.
1:13:27
Speaker 3: And he was showing me it's really hard work behind
1:13:30
Speaker 3: the scenes. You got to get fit. You got to
1:13:31
Speaker 3: do the stuff that you got to do. What's the
1:13:34
Speaker 3: experience like for you? Because you've done dancing and now
1:13:36
Speaker 3: you're doing this. I think you've maybe done another project.
1:13:38
Speaker 16: Yeah.
1:13:39
Speaker 8: What's it like?
1:13:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's really it. I get asked to do all
1:13:42
Speaker 6: the reality shows. I pretty much said no to all
1:13:45
Speaker 6: of them except Dancing with the Stars. And I did
1:13:47
Speaker 6: one of the Masked Singer because I thought that was fun, too.
1:13:50
Speaker 6: But this is the third one I've said yes to
1:13:54
Speaker 6: in my life. And special forces is the world's toughest challenge.
1:14:00
Speaker 6: You are training with the Navy SEALs.
1:14:02
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:14:03
Speaker 6: And it is just a small portion of what they
1:14:05
Speaker 6: do every single day. So I kind of had two motives.
1:14:09
Speaker 6: One was to be able to have this experience. No,
1:14:14
Speaker 6: I'm such a supporter of our country and our military.
1:14:17
Speaker 6: I have such gratitude for all the people that fight
1:14:21
Speaker 6: for us on a daily basis, past and present. So
1:14:24
Speaker 6: to be able to have this experience. and know some
1:14:27
Speaker 6: of the training that they go through to protect us,
1:14:30
Speaker 6: that was like a yes for me. And the other
1:14:33
Speaker 6: part is having turned 50 this year, I am going into.
1:14:37
Speaker 3: You keep saying that, but I know people are watching going,
1:14:39
Speaker 3: that can't be true. Like, she doesn't look a day
1:14:42
Speaker 3: over 28. Like, how's that even possible?
1:14:44
Speaker 4: Well, thanks.
1:14:45
Speaker 6: Thanks. I... I live my life to the fullest and
1:14:52
Speaker 6: I feel like I'm in the best shape of my
1:14:54
Speaker 6: life at 50. I kind of kept up my fitness
1:14:56
Speaker 6: game a year and a half ago because now is
1:15:01
Speaker 6: the time. Like I want to set myself up in
1:15:03
Speaker 6: the best way so that when I'm 70 or 80,
1:15:06
Speaker 6: if I get to live to 90, you know, that
1:15:09
Speaker 6: I can, that I can hang in there, that I
1:15:10
Speaker 6: can open up the peanut butter jar by myself. Like,
1:15:13
Speaker 6: You want to be able to do those things and
1:15:15
Speaker 6: get out of the chair. So like I am or
1:15:17
Speaker 6: I've been working really hard to set myself up for success,
1:15:20
Speaker 6: for longevity. And so I thought this is another great
1:15:23
Speaker 6: opportunity where I get to go out and just see
1:15:25
Speaker 6: if I have what it takes physically and mentally. And
1:15:29
Speaker 6: it has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.
1:15:33
Speaker 6: Incredibly challenging, which I knew it would be, but probably
1:15:37
Speaker 6: even harder than I thought. And I knew it was
1:15:39
Speaker 6: going to be really hard.
1:15:40
Speaker 3: Is all the filming for that season completed? Have you
1:15:42
Speaker 3: completed the show?
1:15:43
Speaker 8: It is.
1:15:43
Speaker 10: Okay.
1:15:44
Speaker 3: So then you've already exercised it. But I was going

Speaker 3: Last personal plug here. Tonight at midnight, my songwriting collective
1:18:41
Speaker 3: called the T Collective, Truth Elevated Artistry, the T Collective,
1:18:46
Speaker 3: we will be releasing... a brand new worship song. that's
1:18:51
Speaker 3: never been sung in churches in America or anywhere else.
1:18:54
Speaker 3: It's brand new. And if you would be so kind
1:18:58
Speaker 3: as to go at midnight and when it goes live,
1:19:01
Speaker 3: just so you can pre-save it now if you want to,
1:19:04
Speaker 3: but just go to the Tea Collective on Spotify or
1:19:08
Speaker 3: Apple Music and And pre-save the song. But we've never
1:19:14
Speaker 3: been more excited about the launch of a song than
1:19:18
Speaker 3: this one. And we're going about it completely differently. We're
1:19:21
Speaker 3: not going to make a dime off this song. Anything
1:19:24
Speaker 3: that comes in from it, we're going to turn right
1:19:26
Speaker 3: back around and put it into other causes. We want
1:19:29
Speaker 3: this song to be holy gods. And we want people
1:19:33
Speaker 3: to sing it all over the world. So we are
1:19:36
Speaker 3: working on a variety of different styles of the song
1:19:39
Speaker 3: for churches who have different worship settings. So far we've
1:19:42
Speaker 3: got a really hip contemporary version and we've got a
1:19:45
Speaker 3: choral version that's nearly mastered and mixed and ready to
1:19:48
Speaker 3: be released. And then we've got singer-songwriter and some other
1:19:52
Speaker 3: styles that we'll be all releasing along with the lyrics
1:19:55
Speaker 3: and the charts and everything. We'll make all of it available.
1:19:58
Speaker 3: But if you would like to get that resource pack
1:20:02
Speaker 3: with the the song kit and everything in there. You
1:20:06
Speaker 3: can send me a note that Kevin show at gmail.com.
1:20:08
Speaker 3: We're going to be sending these to music pastors, music leaders, uh,
1:20:13
Speaker 3: church members that just want to sing the song, um, uh,
1:20:16
Speaker 3: across the country for whoever asks, we'll send it to you.
1:20:19
Speaker 3: No charge, absolutely free that Kevin show at gmail.com that
1:20:23
Speaker 3: Kevin show at gmail.com real quickly. Have you ever gotten
1:20:26
Speaker 3: sick and thought, you know, I need to go to
1:20:28
Speaker 3: the doctor and then immediately decided not to, because you know,
1:20:31
Speaker 3: to take up half your day, Well, that's one of
1:20:34
Speaker 3: the reasons why I like Swell Medical. Founded by Dr.

1:20:39

Speaker 3: to real clinicians online for things that people deal with

1:20:47
Speaker 3: right there in your house. Need a medication refill, sinus infection, rash,
1:20:52
Speaker 3: lab work, travel medications before a trip. Maybe you're trying
1:20:55
Speaker 3: to get into the weight loss thing. You want some
1:20:58
Speaker 3: doctor guided support. Instead of sitting in a waiting room
1:21:01
Speaker 3: surrounded by people that are coughing on each other, Why
1:21:04
Speaker 3: not get the care from wherever you happen to be? Home, work, traveling?
