0:18
As veterans, we begin new lives when we leave our military
0:22
service. What is faith?
0:25
How do we incorporate faith in service and after what resources
0:30
are available? Who do we talk with about faith?
0:34
These are some of the many questions that one may ponder in
0:38
searching for answers to the meaning of life.
0:42
Join The Revivalists and let's search for some answers
0:45
together. Luke 923 Then he said to them,
0:50
All, Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves,
0:54
and take up their cross daily, and follow me.
1:18
There we go. We need to figure that one out.
1:23
Hey, welcome to the Revivalist Radio show, folks.
1:28
Sorry, little technical glitch. A little technical glitch on
1:32
that one. Today is Monday, August 24th,
1:36
the year of our Lord 2026. Where has the year gone, Daryl?
1:44
Man, this is crazy. Boom passed us.
1:48
Yes, I but I don't know about you.
1:52
How are you dealing with the heat?
1:53
Trying. To find as much cool air.
1:57
Yeah, I had the, you know, I had the air conditioner set on 74
2:03
and last night because it was 109° outside, it was 79 inside
2:11
and. It was baking.
2:13
It was warm. It was it was toasty in here.
2:17
Yeah, I know it was toasty. I I got a lot of repairs done on
2:23
the RV. Did some demo yesterday morning,
2:27
'cause I don't know if you know it, guys know.
2:29
I have two radio shows, have The Revivalist that I'm on every
2:33
Monday, but the Pain to Purpose show is on Saturdays and I'm
2:38
going to be at Dominion Racetrack on Saturday, September
2:42
12th commentating on the race. This is going to be exciting.
2:47
It's, you know, multi branch, you know, all the branches I
2:53
think except for Space Force. See, typical.
3:00
I'm driving across country again.
3:05
Again, I think I'm a glutton for punishment on that one.
3:10
I'm reaching across, sorry. Here's the notes, here's the
3:12
notes. I told you I had notes, notes
3:17
and I I was like, OK, I use yellow paper and I was like,
3:21
where is it at? Where is it at?
3:22
You can get. There, but she's going to have
3:25
more than notes. Y'all, and then just letting you
3:29
know. Well, we've talked about having
3:31
several books that we've talked about writing too.
3:35
Those, those are all going to be good.
3:40
So Daryl, will you go ahead and lead us into prayer?
3:44
Yep. Amen.
3:46
Father, Son and the Holy Spirit Lord, we thank you for being our
3:49
Father, God, Lord and Creator. Thank you for your Son Christ
3:52
Jesus and to our Lord and Savior and the King and of our life.
3:56
We thank you for the power and glory essence of the Holy
4:00
Spirit. Get those words of wisdom,
4:02
knowledge, understanding inside and discernment the only time
4:05
for you. As soon as we enter into your
4:07
service, thanks for expression into the Spirit to us, O Lord,
4:11
we may be blessed and those who come alongside us, those who are
4:15
standing in the gaps, they too Lord, will be on their mission,
4:19
serve and service never before. We bless your name, Father, for
4:23
you be worried and we pray. It's the love and wonderful name
4:26
that is indeed Christ Jesus and brothers in the Holy Spirit,
4:29
that your sons, daughters, friends and servants say Amen.
4:32
Amen. Amen.
4:34
Father, Son in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
4:37
Hey, so I am rocking my Camino stuff.
4:41
I don't know if y'all can see my shell.
4:43
I I felt kind of called to where the Camino shells.
4:49
I've got my earrings too. They don't quite match, but it's
4:52
the shells. And because I, you know, Daryl,
4:57
when as we have gone through reading the characters and
5:01
Genesis, you know, this whole walking, walking with God
5:08
really, really called out to me. And I, you know, I've been on
5:13
the Camino twice. I've hiked on the Appalachian
5:16
Trail. You know the saying, it's saying
5:20
unlike on the Camino, it's all the way uphill to Santiago.
5:24
Well, but you got some nasty downhills too.
5:28
Same on the Appalachian Trail. What goes up must come down.
5:31
And I think, you know, our this whole this, we haven't discussed
5:38
how many recap shows we're going to do to really encapsulate what
5:42
we've talked about in Genesis. Yeah, the whole connection on
5:48
moral injury, healing and recovery.
5:51
There's lots of science talk about moral injury.
5:55
But for us, I think we've discussed the, you know, this is
6:00
really a veteran ministry geared towards DSM 5 of moral injury,
6:07
healing and recovery. Because if you're only ever
6:10
talking about moral injury, then where is the solution, right?
6:16
So when I talk to people, I'm like, you know, we have this, we
6:20
host this show and we're putting God as the true north of the of
6:25
our moral compass where he's supposed to be because of
6:29
society. We have by and large, try to do
6:32
everything absent God. So even this whole sciency side
6:37
of things, clinical diagnosis, DSM 5 is still trying to
6:43
annotate it in a very clinical terms minus God.
6:48
Would you agree? I mean, I think if I'm thinking
6:53
about digits, 1 + 1 = 2. Well, if you're you got 1 and
6:59
you're not including God and you're still thinking that
7:02
you're going to have two, then you've made yourself God to
7:06
replace the big G God in order to try to get 2 because 1 + 1 =
7:11
2. But we.
7:13
Talk about people being their own God and it just not one of
7:17
us. We have to bend that place at
7:18
some point. But the Lord tells us to come
7:20
out of the city, come out of Babylon, come out of the come
7:24
out of all those strange places. Some affiliate associate
7:28
acquaintance cells with the ice, cause the ice will take you just
7:31
as straight to hell as a mark to its goal.
7:33
So I'm saying each of you, today we talk about moral injury, but
7:37
there's a root cause of moral injury and it does not always
7:42
show up in the DSM 5. It certainly shows up in the
7:45
Sacred Scriptures and the historical timeline.
7:49
But this whole walk thing was pretty critical very early on
7:56
when we started reading Genesis. They either walked with God or
8:00
they did it. Yes, yes, right.
8:03
I and and. Up to the dead ark being sealed
8:06
and shut. They, they, God, it rained it
8:12
never. And then you got people banging
8:15
on because here comes the waters.
8:16
It comes to rain. And Noah says, no, I, I don't
8:20
have the key, only God does. You can't get in.
8:23
So there we go. And that it had to be a strange,
8:27
terrible, horrible sight. Because remember, Noah probably
8:31
had family members, He had friends, he had people that he
8:35
had, he had, you know, known for hundreds of years.
8:37
He was 600 years ready. So we, we had to understand that
8:41
there was some moral injury there too, because you lost
8:43
loved ones. They didn't heed the call.
8:46
They didn't heed the cause of who who God was.
8:49
And thus they perished. What is it, as you said, that
8:53
here's another word I'm writing down the head that had the power
8:58
to choose, right? It's all about the power to
9:02
choose. And when we talk about our
9:06
military service, you know, I, I was in Desert Storm, boots on
9:12
the ground. And I remember distinctly going
9:16
to Mass during war because that was who I was, right?
9:22
I wore the very thin cross. It's a different chain.
9:26
But this cross I've had since I was 18 years old.
9:31
Well, I'm actually actually maybe when I was 16, it was
9:34
Zales. Mama.
9:35
Mama said you need to start some credit, go to Zales, get some
9:38
blank. So I know this is what I started
9:45
out with. My very first thing was what,
9:48
Yeah. Was this cross.
9:50
So, you know, this cross has been around the world with me.
9:55
But I, I say that because it's a choice on what we do, when we do
10:01
it, whether we're at war, whether we're not right.
10:05
And even though we've already been, it's still a choice if we
10:09
want to do the soul repair, because that's really what we're
10:14
trying to do as revivalists, is repair our souls.
10:18
And I don't care whether you served or not, but maybe you
10:20
have some trauma in your life. You have some, you know, things
10:27
happen in all of our lives. I don't care black, white,
10:32
purple, male, female, whatever your sexual right there's
10:37
probably some kind of trauma that you've endured.
10:43
You know, there if you have lived life not in a bubble, you
10:49
have endured some kind of trauma some way somehow, and it has
10:54
affected you. My.
10:59
Parents lost their younger son so very quickly.
11:06
I am the oldest eldest living child.
11:10
It remains from the union of my mother and my stepfather.
11:16
My biological father is 13 or 16 of about mid 5.
11:21
But I've met the other, and I'm not the oldest living child from
11:25
his. But to have a child and be lost
11:32
to you as a parent, it has to be something just so critically
11:36
damaging to you because you're always thinking, from what I've
11:40
been able to gather, that they're thinking, it's their
11:43
fault. God, just to God, just to.
11:48
What do you think about Enoch's family?
11:50
Enoch didn't show up for the evening meal.
11:53
God something. Yeah.
11:56
We, we don't look at the back story of things like that,
11:59
right? We just look at there's moral
12:01
injury involved with that. Why is there moral injury?
12:05
Because those people are US today.
12:09
Nothing's changed. Nothing's changed.
12:11
How many times have we said that?
12:13
Reading all of Genesis? We're still the same people.
12:16
We haven't learned anything. We're still lying.
12:19
We're still cheating. We're still having adulterous
12:23
affairs, still being our own gods.
12:28
You know, little, right little DI was trying to think of what
12:34
are some of you know, we're still going through grief.
12:40
You know, we talked at one point.
12:41
Daryl, do you remember the Dusty Turner story?
12:45
That was the naval operator who's a naval seal and he he was
12:51
wrongly incarcerated, you know, so he's going through this whole
12:56
process of telling his story. I'm still watching what's
12:58
happening with him. But you know, in some ways I
13:02
still saw that parallel between him and what Joseph has gone
13:07
through the wrongful imprisonment.
13:11
They so. Story for everybody in.
13:15
Scripture right, but so part it. Applies today.
13:20
Part of what and I listen to crime podcast too.
13:24
Oh, you do I do the so part of the the it's a grief process you
13:32
have you're grieving the life you would have, could have,
13:36
should have had, right. And that you get robbed of that
13:40
opportunity. Now, I don't think Joseph put up
13:43
the fight. We're kind of jumping ahead, but
13:46
it's going to make sense when we get there.
13:48
But you know, he's he's now experiencing all these people
13:54
with their strangers. How many of us joined the
13:57
military? And we were all with a bunch of
13:59
strangers. We grieved our former life when
14:03
we joined the military. And then it kind of ironic when
14:07
we get out, we miss the camaraderie, we miss the we miss
14:14
the culture. And then then we start clamoring
14:17
back to where are my military friends again?
14:21
But you have lost time, lost relationships, missed family
14:26
events. Military people are, you know,
14:30
especially if you were deployed anywhere, all of those same
14:33
things happen to missed family events.
14:37
I don't know how many people I've met where they were
14:39
deployed, missed the birthdays, missed the birth of a child even
14:44
right, missed their anniversary. And you have cultivating the
14:51
relationship you're supposed to have is is difficult.
14:56
And I want to say difficult the best, especially if you're not
15:01
In Sync with God. Because if you're not following
15:05
what God wants you to do in the 1st place, then you're already
15:09
on the wrong path. You're, you know, I talk about
15:13
the Camino for a reason. You get lost on the Camino.
15:17
I, I don't know how you do because the signs are all there.
15:21
We stop paying, we stop paying attention to the signs.
15:25
And I thank God I, I don't know how many times.
15:28
It's kind of funny. I'm driving down the road and I
15:32
read something and then I'm hearing it almost, you know, the
15:37
radio says the same thing. And I'm like, OK, I'm on their,
15:42
I'm on the right path. I'm God's checking in with me.
15:45
I'm OK. You ever had stuff like that
15:48
happen? Absolutely.
15:51
So you spoke of people that you lose contact with on Saturday I
15:56
had the wonderful pleasure again.
15:59
We did it last year in in the previous year of meeting 2 young
16:04
men just a little younger than I am.
16:07
Two men who served on the USS Copeland FFG 25 was me.
16:15
What kind of what kind of ship is that it was?
16:19
A Oliver hasn't Harry frigate, so it had a turret in the front.
16:27
It had phalic system and you had the Gunners, Mason Gunners make
16:32
gun and gonna make The Who would come out and and shoot if they
16:37
needed to do so. But the gunman's mates, they
16:38
handled all of the Armarat on the ship so that the fire
16:42
control technicians as far as the ailing system and the
16:46
torpedo systems and such like that, we had a torpedo movement
16:49
on on the ship too. The point I'm making is that if
16:53
you lose contact with someone, ordinarily they can't be found.
16:59
They don't want to be found and you won't find them.
17:03
But we've made a pact, the three of us, that wherever we are, if
17:07
we can get to one another, just to have that time.
17:10
If it's just three or four hours, that time, we always need
17:13
the Chewy's too. I'm not giving Chewy's a plug.
17:16
Hey, food was good. But if you find the Chewy's,
17:20
Chewy's are delicious. We had a great time.
17:22
We took photos, we did a wonderful thing.
17:24
But we also know that we have more time behind us than we do
17:30
in front. I'll be 63, Lord willing, in
17:34
September. Then the other brother will be
17:37
62 and the other will be 60. So we're just right.
17:41
We served together. You know, we, we, we went to war
17:44
together. We were in the ocean conflict.
17:46
We went to a couple other conflicts.
17:48
We, we were in battle groups. We were, we were in general
17:52
quarters where, you know, in our ship, it was 180 men there.
17:57
If our ship got hit, it probably was a wrap because it's it was
18:00
aluminum, fiberglass perhaps. So do your very best young
18:05
people, because if I'm talking to you, probably younger than I
18:09
am anyway, do your very best to stay in contact with people, get
18:13
their phone numbers, get their e-mail addresses, their
18:16
alternate e-mail addresses, the alternate alternate e-mail
18:19
addresses. Do something.
18:20
Even if it's a person that you fell out of favor with, they
18:23
fell out of favor with you. Contact them because they're
18:25
still God's people. I would think that it first, you
18:30
know, there is a certain aspect 'cause I'm still buddies with
18:34
all of my Desert Storm friends and we got together a couple of
18:38
years ago in Vegas for a reunion.
18:44
And the, there's three of us women.
18:46
We run a if a social media page and you know, one of them
18:52
stepping away, I need to call her, she's stepping away from
18:55
social media. Life is just liping, you know,
18:58
people, people are going through some experiences on things.
19:03
But it's something that kind of brought brought up with my guest
19:07
last Saturday with Russ on there, and we were talking about
19:13
the culture of things and I brought up Noah, you know, the
19:18
Genesis Chapter 9. And remember when he woke up
19:23
drunk, you know, Ham found him. Was it Hammersham?
19:30
I have it pulled up. I forgot Ham.
19:33
Yeah, Ham found him. And then he went and started
19:38
telling everybody, right? I mean, he made this big deal
19:42
about it, but it right he. Sobered up to cursed hand cane.
19:49
But the whole. He cursed Cane.
19:53
Why do you think he did that? He cursed Cane because Cane is
19:57
the one that laughed at him because Noah had had a vineyard.
20:03
He had a little too much bean over dinner and he he went into
20:07
his tent and he was uncovered and Ham went and told him.
20:11
His brother Shim and Japheth and he walked behind him, covered
20:14
him up, but Katie and the grandson was laughing at his
20:19
grandfather. He probably was laughing at him
20:23
and saying some things that were disrespectful and dishonored.
20:26
Oh for sure, because he was drunk and naked and he couldn't
20:31
get. Even and say naked, she said
20:33
naked. Naked.
20:35
He was naked, but he but he didn't honor him.
20:39
I mean, it, it, it, it was the whole dishonor side.
20:43
Why is it it important to bring that up?
20:46
Because it's something that we touched on while ago about the
20:51
flood, right? The trauma of the flood and the
20:54
grief that he, you know, can only imagine what he went
20:58
through. Think about it.
20:59
A lot of our veterans who have seen a lot, they seen or done a
21:03
lot of things in their military service, not unlike what Noah
21:09
had gone through, seeing the destruction of everybody except
21:13
for his immediate family. On, on the on the ark that it
21:20
and, and it gets into the well, why did I drink?
21:25
I was talking with a friend of mine this morning and you know,
21:29
the person has had some problems with alcohol and she was
21:34
talking, it's a she was talking with her therapist and asked the
21:40
question, well, why did you drink?
21:45
What what was the expected end result?
21:47
If you're drinking to get drunk, that's different than drinking
21:52
because you enjoy. And this is just tea guys.
21:56
I brewed us some fruit tea and non alcoholic, it's got honey in
22:01
it. Are you drinking because you
22:05
like the taste of it or are you drinking it because you want to
22:09
get drunk and escape something? Those are two different results
22:13
and what's going to happen. So, you know, I'm making this
22:17
connection with what Russ was saying Saturday and he has an
22:23
allergy problem. So that's a whole different kind
22:25
of that's a third issue. He didn't drink to get drunk,
22:30
but the liquor itself he is allergic to physiologically, it
22:35
does something to his body. So he can't even have a sip.
22:40
And I asked him after the show, did you ever think about gum?
22:44
He goes like, what do you mean? I was like, well, you'd be
22:46
surprised that there's some ingredients in, in gum like
22:51
erythritol and maltitol. Those are, those are alcohol
22:57
based sugars that can still 'cause you problems.
23:02
They make me sick. I, I can't do the alcohol based
23:05
sugars anyways, but it's a different kind of thing.
23:10
But I, I'm, I'm bringing that part up because if you are, you
23:18
know, thinking about Noah, well, why did he get drunk if he just,
23:23
you know, had had his, you know, great.
23:27
He's testing out the wine. You know, he's experimenting
23:32
like my dad does, growing. Only he grew his own grapes and
23:38
made his own wine. Dad can make some wine.
23:42
That's some potent stuff, you know, I mean, especially if
23:46
you're eating the cherries. Dad can do the cherries too.
23:51
I don't know how I didn't ever have any, but from what I hear,
23:55
the whole cherries and marinate them, you know?
24:00
Yeah, apparently they can. They can make you pretty, pretty
24:04
toasted. So anyways, if Noah.
24:08
If Noah imbibe too much, that's one thing, but if the if there
24:15
was the moral injury, healing and recovery side of things that
24:19
he's trying to escape, the memories of what he saw happen,
24:25
we can see. That's, you know, all those
24:28
scripture is silent. Yes, wonderful.
24:31
People, he was still mortal and human.
24:35
Exactly. And that's that was his way of
24:39
coping and his grandson laughed at him and and Ham was very,
24:45
very fortunate and he didn't laugh and he took took the the
24:49
route of his brothers, Japheth and Jim and covered him up.
24:53
And then, you know, God compelled Noah to do the rest.
24:57
So in by back not heard that word in 25 years.
25:03
But if you are a wine Bibber or beer Bibber, you know there's
25:07
enough's enough. But if that's your coping
25:09
mechanism, I understand that. But for Noah, because Scripture
25:13
was silent and because we too are human, immortal, we
25:17
understand there was more. We don't know how many people he
25:20
lost, his friends and family. Right.
25:22
I mean, just even having the you know, think about it, Daryl,
25:26
it's the guilt of I tried telling them right and and they
25:31
listen right you. He tried bringing them to the
25:34
water, but he couldn't make him drink it, you know, but they
25:38
were going to get swallowed by it.
25:39
You know, he tried and I'm sure to some degree felt like he
25:43
failed because they didn't want, you know, they laughed at him
25:48
and they. Did and up to the day sister
25:53
people were were relationships given in the marriage maybe
25:58
eating BBQ up to the day and that happened.
26:03
So it wasn't just knowing that lost people his wife, his
26:08
children, they lost family and friends too that they're
26:12
probably close with, but they just didn't he and and the Holy
26:16
Spirit. Oh my God, the Holy Spirit
26:19
compels us to listen for those who care to live, those who have
26:23
an ear this to listen, those who have an eye to see you, you
26:29
will. Well, there's the other
26:30
scripture for my my people will not perish for a lack of
26:33
knowledge, right? I mean, we have not.
26:36
We have knowledge. We ask not.
26:38
Right. I think in even for our older
26:43
population of veterans, I'm talking about the Vietnam, you
26:48
know, era who came home and right, But if they were treated
26:55
much like Noah was and not welcomed home, then they're
27:01
going to they're going to have some feels about this too,
27:04
right? I, I mean, because I think even
27:07
in that culture of things, alcohol was the go to medicine.
27:12
And if you don't trust the VA or if you're not trusting, you
27:16
know, using pharmaceuticals or abstaining at all, what are you
27:22
doing? How are you solving the
27:23
problems? I mean, what, you got to work
27:27
through something. The moral injury is there.
27:31
I have no doubt that Noah was probably what our second example
27:38
of moral injury, because the first would have been Adam and
27:42
Eve. Well, Oh my God, people go all
27:47
the way. So Adam and Eve because they
27:49
lost Abel? Yep, God replaced it with Seth
27:52
and other children were not named.
27:55
And then, you know, again, Enoch's family probably had the
27:58
moral injury because he didn't come home for the.
28:00
He was gone. And then you had the aspect of
28:04
Cain wandering the earth. I'm sure his parents missed him
28:08
on some level, but he was gone. He was cast out.
28:12
So you had all these dynamics going on, you know, early in
28:15
Genesis. And then we get to there's some
28:19
moral injury with Abraham, there's some moral injury with
28:23
Isaac and. And Sarah.
28:24
And Sarah? Right and and we must note,
28:28
because even I've gone back 'cause we debated about this,
28:31
Sarah was not touched in the ham.
28:33
Just letting y'all know Pharaoh. He was like he he got the
28:38
message, don't touch her. Yeah.
28:41
And so a bill and that years later with Rachel, he touched
28:47
her either because he knew right, God will speak to
28:50
everybody because he created us right.
28:53
So there's more injury in all of this, but the person we we
28:56
really want to look at today outside of us.
29:01
Joseph had all sorts of moral. Yeah, yeah, I, I kind of fell in
29:06
love with his character. I I did.
29:09
I was, I mean, there was depth to there's even.
29:13
Vibing on. Joseph, there's depth.
29:17
There's depth to Joseph, though. I mean it, it just from, it just
29:26
was present. I mean, he didn't ever let the
29:30
circumstances dictate how he was going to behave.
29:36
I mean, 'cause he just left it all I'm here for.
29:39
He trusted, Yeah, he trusted God.
29:41
He was walking with God. That's why I put this back on,
29:44
right, That he was walking with God.
29:48
The Scripture does not say, oh, he was walking with God like it
29:52
did earlier in Genesis, but I think it was, it didn't need to
29:57
be set. Didn't.
29:59
Need to be set we. Saw it.
30:01
Yeah, right. Right.
30:02
We. We saw in the mind.
30:07
You're muted because we were having echo and so it's all
30:11
going through this microphone. We we understand what God was
30:17
doing for Joseph. When we get to the end of 5th,
30:24
we start to see when we get to 50, we get to the middle and the
30:29
end of 50 we really see how great of a man Joseph actually
30:32
works. Well, the grace that he gave
30:38
just all the way through. 'Cause his brothers would have
30:40
executed him. Well, he was not ever.
30:42
He didn't ever exhibit anger. He wasn't one of them.
30:47
Though, right, he was not a knight.
30:49
He he but he was not he didn't feel he was not filled with the
30:54
rage that they would have been filled with right, because their
30:58
propensity would have been for revenge.
31:01
Maybe outside of? But everybody else wanted to get
31:05
rid of. Yeah, I, I mean, he just walked
31:11
with grace. I, I I don't know how to
31:13
describe what he did. He got.
31:16
Sold into slavery by his brothers. 30 pieces of silver.
31:20
See See that arc of 30 pieces of silver throughout right?
31:23
There's always something villainy associated with that.
31:26
Then he went to Potiphar's house and his wife.
31:30
This is the Hebrew name for her, Zulika.
31:32
Zulika had amorous attentions towards Joseph.
31:35
Joseph said no, she lied on Joseph.
31:38
Joseph's in prison. Because he was the pool boy.
31:42
This probably wasn't her first offense.
31:44
This. Was yeah.
31:47
Whatever, right? But he put him in prison.
31:50
What did God do when Joseph was in prison?
31:52
He ran the prisoner. Yeah.
31:55
And then the, the, the cupbearer and the Baker came down with
32:00
their problem. He interpreted the dreams.
32:03
The the, the cupbearer knew because Fast forward, if the
32:08
people that the Pharaoh had asked to interpret the dreams
32:12
could not, he knew they were going to get executed.
32:14
So he stepped up and said he got a brother down in the jail.
32:20
He told me the outcome of me and the Baker.
32:22
You see, I'm still here, right? He immediately summoned and we
32:27
know the rest is biblical history.
32:30
Well, he got donned with everything, right?
32:33
He got he he got the new ring, got the the rogue, right?
32:39
Got the wife, got the new house, got the new title.
32:43
I mean, that was like what you were talking about earlier.
32:46
He won the lottery that day. What?
32:48
He is that. Now, yeah, but what he, what he
32:54
received, he then paid forward and bounced the, you know,
32:59
bountiful ways. Bountiful.
33:01
I mean, even when he came across his brothers.
33:05
And could you imagine that, Darrell?
33:07
Remember we talked about this when we had that episode.
33:11
They didn't know. They didn't know who he was
33:15
'cause he looked Egyptian. He, he had, you know, he was
33:19
wearing that Egyptian persona and recognizing your brothers.
33:24
Now you can't eat with them because of the culture.
33:27
Can't, you know, can't do lots of other things.
33:32
But I was taken by the scripture that said he went around the
33:36
corner and he wept. But that was not the first.
33:41
I mean, yes, he loved them. He didn't have any animosity
33:47
towards them, even as the story goes on and doing this testing,
33:54
right? Who are these people?
33:56
I, I had to know, you know, do they have some, maybe some
34:00
regrets? They did figure out some of
34:02
their own character flaws and get back on the right path.
34:07
That was Judah, right? Judah.
34:09
Yeah. Judah, I think, had a come to
34:13
Jesus moment with God. Yeah.
34:21
They they circumcised and killed the men of of of the place and
34:26
then he went in and misbehaved somewhere else.
34:29
This probably would it's it's coming to take this moment being
34:33
there in jail wondering what's going to happen and then in the
34:37
aftermath. But I'll go back to what we
34:39
talked about earlier in the narrative of Genesis.
34:44
If roles have been reversed, His brothers still with salt
34:49
hurting. Maybe outside of maybe outside
34:52
of Reuben and Jury. But the other brothers said he
34:55
did not care for Joseph. At all so part of one of my had
35:02
it had it written. They were living in fear because
35:08
they were fearful. What if he does rule over us?
35:15
Yeah. I mean, they repeat, they
35:17
repeated it again. So they acted out of fear early
35:21
on. And that's how Joseph ended up
35:23
being sold in the 1st place. And even as the fear, you know,
35:28
remember they were having a conversation on the donkeys, the
35:31
back and forth and back and forth and, you know, the fear
35:35
that was developing. What are we supposed to say?
35:38
What are we supposed to do? You know, we got to get our
35:43
yeah, who is this guy? Because they still don't even
35:46
know who he was. And and then as as you know,
35:52
Israel passes away. They thought that that he was
35:56
going to take it out on them again, but he didn't ever do
36:00
that. And he was still trying to bless
36:02
them. But that was living, living in
36:06
fear every time. Even when we go back to all
36:11
these, look at Darrell, think about all the other stories,
36:15
talk about fear in some ways too, right?
36:18
Even Sarah, she was fearful of not having a child, not having
36:23
inheritance, right? And so fear of, you know, not
36:29
being able to be the woman she was supposed to be.
36:32
I get it. I, I was a late blossomer with
36:36
children and I thought that there was something wrong with
36:39
me. I I was not, was I not?
36:43
Yeah. Could I not be the woman I was
36:46
supposed to be? I'm Catholic.
36:47
I'm supposed to have a whole bunch of kids.
36:49
He's. Going to have three basketballs.
36:55
God, God said no poor is good. You did your Catholic thing.
37:00
The Lord would have a special, special place in heaven for you,
37:03
right? And so we, we, we look at though
37:06
that's one of those things, because this happens more a few
37:09
times than scripture, particularly with Sarah and
37:12
Sarah and Hannah, Samuel's mother, right?
37:16
Because she was promised a child.
37:18
And so here we are. And John the Baptist's mother,
37:22
Elizabeth, right? She had him.
37:24
She, she was an older woman when she had John the Baptist.
37:30
So when God says that your age does not matter, your product
37:35
shall come forth, He means that. One of the things that think you
37:41
and I talked about the other day, sometimes we talk offline
37:45
if, you know, between shows. We had an opportunity the other
37:48
day and I had made some notes about sins.
37:54
So, you know, we know the 10 commandments, right?
37:58
And there's I think evidence of all of the 10 commandments being
38:05
shown or displayed throughout even Genesis, although you, you
38:11
have to, I think we have to see it being the stage set for it to
38:16
understand why we get the 10 commandments when it comes
38:19
around. But one of my notes here, intent
38:24
is a moral issue. And what I mean by that, well,
38:28
if you think about even what the intent of Joseph's brothers
38:34
were, their intent was a moral issue.
38:37
They, they were ice. They did not have God as their
38:41
moral compass, right, as their true north.
38:44
So their intent was, was airing, it was airing with quite a few
38:50
other people as well. And that's the difference
38:53
between walking with God versus not walking with God.
38:57
And I think the difference for many, many military members.
39:02
And I'm going to go like, you know, with some of the most
39:05
prevalent, you know, our operators, you know, the
39:08
operator syndrome is a huge thing.
39:11
And if you look at the intent was not to be morally injurious.
39:19
The intent of the operator's mission was to fulfill the
39:23
mission that was given to them by higher authorities in the
39:29
military. So the intent is not a personal
39:33
thing. And I think we have to be clear,
39:34
helping as the revivalist side of things, move the needle from
39:39
moral injury to healing and recovery, that the intent of the
39:44
actions that some of our folks may have taken was not from the
39:51
sinful nature side because they were following military orders.
39:55
So if you're looking at trying to how do you fix the soul?
39:58
How do you, how does that soul repair happen?
40:02
Understand that the intent of what you did is the root cause
40:08
of. Is it a personal action that you
40:12
are responsible for and you've got to go to God for that, or
40:17
you're, you followed orders and yes, you had a conflict with
40:23
your moral compass because you had a moral compass there.
40:26
But you've got to reconcile and give it to God still yet in
40:31
order to make sure that you're having the absolution that you
40:36
deserve, that you can have the healing and recovery side of
40:40
things. So you were talking about the RV
40:46
yesterday and and patching and pasting?
40:49
My demo. I'm doing demo lesson yesterday.
40:53
We can't do demo properly unless we have the plan to do so.
40:59
Yeah, we have to be a willing participant and actively willing
41:03
participant, A proactive participant to have the, the
41:09
Reformation, the restoration of us to occur.
41:14
Because if we're just patching and plugging, it doesn't work.
41:18
We need to have surgery on the soul.
41:22
And even brought up the things that people do.
41:25
They brought up the, she brought up the adultery, which includes
41:28
fornication, which includes a lot of different things in that
41:31
whole sexual sect. The, the misbehaving, the
41:35
alcoholism, the drug abuse, misuse and use the, the, the
41:40
physical and emotional and mental abuse of people, the
41:44
sexual assault, all sorts of things which are sinful that you
41:49
detest, but there's somebody close to you in the shadows.
41:55
We're doing it. So we look at Joseph not as a
42:00
perfect man, but he's probably as close to perfect as we were
42:03
ever going to find based on the narrative, if we could strive to
42:07
be more like him. Remember, this man was in prison
42:10
for 13 years. He was in a he was in prison,
42:15
not the county jail or the city jail.
42:17
He went, he had no baby at all. He went straight to prison and
42:22
he flourished there because he allowed God to use him when you
42:26
want your soul repaired. Something that you and I were
42:34
talking about yesterday was Game of Thrones, right?
42:38
Remember that? And you know, who do you bend
42:43
the knee to? Think about that, folks, who or
42:48
what do you bend the knee to? Because you, you, you've
42:52
probably been in the need of something and but you, if you
42:59
don't identify that and you're not trying to figure out who the
43:04
true north of your moral compass is, then you're still missing
43:08
part of the equation. It's that thing I was talking
43:10
about earlier, 1 + 0. If you have no God or substitute
43:17
it as your little G God to equal 2, that is not the same thing as
43:24
one plus big G God to get to 2. Because it's really 1 + 0 you
43:31
think is equaling 2. You're only lying to yourself.
43:36
I don't know. I thought that was.
43:37
So we we said because I use this all the time before I could be
43:44
person. You don't like what he did say,
43:48
so I will bring you the Hill act out of sort of food.
43:58
Why? Because you don't have to.
44:00
I bet you all this tough God talk about God's not this and
44:04
doggone Jesus and who is the Holy Spirit.
44:07
That's a lot of tough God talk. You're not going to say that
44:09
when you did. You're not going to say that on
44:11
on resurrection day. You're not going to say that in
44:13
the judgment day. You're not going to say any of
44:15
that. You're going to be scared to
44:17
death. So we have to start now with
44:20
healing the soul. It's behavior modification, it's
44:26
spiritual. It's spiritual healing and
44:29
health that goes along with that.
44:31
Nobody's preaching to anybody here.
44:33
We're just telling the truth. What is work for other people?
44:37
If you buy into it, it'll work for you as long as Scripture is
44:41
backed up by it. It's the choices we make and,
44:45
and if we're not making the right choices, once I heard
44:49
somebody talked about it today, if you're, if you are double
44:55
guessing yourself, am I making the right choice and you're
44:59
having to have that conversation, then chances are
45:03
you might not be making the right choice.
45:06
You know, I mean, you just got to look at it that way.
45:09
One of my other notes that I made, and this is going back
45:13
about Joseph again. Oh Page.
45:17
What I mean, it's what I do when I drink my coffee because God
45:23
works with me. I mean, he he does.
45:26
Give him. The glow, not a good price.
45:29
So thinking about Joseph and his weeping, and that's the evidence
45:34
of moral injury. And I'm going to take a quick
45:36
pause on there because I know that there are people who cannot
45:39
cry. I think that's evidence of moral
45:43
injury as well. You need to know what the signs
45:46
and symptoms look like. I, I, I, I, I, the people that I
45:53
know that they, they want to be able to cry, but for some reason
46:00
there's a barrier there and they can't release it.
46:04
They can maybe get a couple little tears, but, you know, to
46:08
really weep. And, and, and that's to me, the
46:12
way the Bible depicted it for Joseph was that he wept.
46:17
Weeping is a different type of crying than just a cry.
46:23
I mean, you know, how many of us can cry at a sappy movie?
46:28
Weeping is not the same thing as crying at a sappy movie, you
46:32
know, But he was he was learning to forgive, but not forget the
46:42
hurt, the lost years. So this is going back to the,
46:46
the moral injury and grief side of things, the lost years, the
46:50
personal pain, the trauma experience, because, you know, I
46:54
both know there are some, you know, Cray Cray things that
46:58
happened in prison, right? I mean, the moral compass is
47:03
severely missing in in prison settings.
47:09
And you know, that's got a that's a trauma experience
47:15
probably in and of itself. But he but the difference for
47:19
Joseph was that he was wise enough to know why it happened,
47:24
because this all goes back to the original dream that he had
47:31
that he foretold to them. He, he knew this early on that
47:37
this was something significant in his life and it wasn't
47:42
comfortable, I'm sure to and he was.
47:45
Explaining. It right to endure any of that,
47:47
but he was a willing participant and bent the knee to fulfill
47:52
God's wish. The.
47:56
The scriptures teach us, and they're very sacred, everyone.
47:59
The sacred scriptures teach us that.
48:03
When you just look at the story of Joseph, he was without fault.
48:08
He was a precursor to Christ, if you will.
48:13
So you know, you're about Mchelzenit and such that king.
48:17
When we talk about Joseph, he's nearly perfect because the way
48:23
he's outlined in the Sacred Scriptures, he's perfect.
48:28
I mean, who wouldn't want to strive to be this brother?
48:30
I mean, you got a whole collection of folks that you
48:34
could want to strive to be. Why would you not want to be
48:37
strive to be? Joseph?
48:38
He was only second in favor of the Kingdom.
48:41
Yeah. Over all of the other tips,
48:45
right? He was the outsider as the
48:47
number two. Could you imagine any major
48:50
country working like that now these days?
48:53
Could you imagine that? #2 running.
48:56
Everything that would be that would be wild for that to
48:59
happen. Some of the the other biggest
49:03
thing that I wrote on my page was Bubba's greed about their
49:10
dad passing away. Do you remember that?
49:14
Well. I want, I want all the animals,
49:17
I want the property. I I mean, Can you imagine all of
49:20
that greed? But.
49:21
But he'd already, Jacob had already told them what they're
49:24
going to get. Right.
49:26
But now, right, It's well, he's not here now.
49:29
Maybe you know. No, he's told you what you're
49:32
going to get with. And Joseph probably, we don't
49:35
know, 'cause Scripture, silence, probably bless them with such a
49:38
sister, 'cause remember, they had the best land, they had the
49:41
best part. Of the land, right, right.
49:43
But they took dad back and buried him in the family tomb.
49:50
I but I could, you could just imagine them having those
49:53
conversations with each other and thinking, wow, he's, he's
50:00
going to do this. He's going to do so they're
50:03
they're after all, they've gone through all the rescuing that he
50:07
had done, save them from famine, and yet they're still trying to
50:12
get down and just be petty about this stuff.
50:16
They had. They hadn't learned anything.
50:19
They had. Not evolved.
50:22
I, I mean, that's The funny thing about it is they hadn't
50:24
evolved. If Joseph was all about, hey,
50:27
we've moved past this. Where?
50:30
Where? You.
50:36
Still there. Yeah, interesting.
50:38
You're thinking about the small things.
50:42
Yeah, right. But ironically, Joseph was the
50:47
first of the kids to go, right. I mean, that was the, that was
50:52
the sad part. They were older than they were
51:00
older. Than him but.
51:02
Obviously, but his purpose? Is.
51:05
Great. But think about it though, just
51:07
like in some of those other earlier characters, I think God
51:13
gave him a few more years. Maybe they'll figure it out.
51:16
You know, it's give him a little bit more time and they just have
51:20
had it right. He didn't need to live 150 years
51:24
or 500 years. 110 was good enough and God just so we're all
51:31
clear the Lord our God gave Jacob 13.
51:35
I'm sorry 17 interviews with this sound of jokes isn't that
51:39
amazing left when he 17 gave me 17 more.
51:42
So we are very very fortunate to know that God already had a plan
51:47
for the 22 people who are viewing this.
51:50
Thank you. We really do.
51:52
We really thank you because you could be watching the Looney
51:54
Tunes and Mary Melody watching us, and we certainly appreciate
51:58
your time and your effort. Absolutely.
52:00
When we tell the when we tell these stories come straight from
52:02
script. That's the only thing we making
52:04
up. It's right here now.
52:06
We're expounding upon it and it can be expanded for you.
52:10
So when you go back and read it, you'll see exactly where we came
52:13
from. But we again, we without your
52:16
viewership, without your notes, without your, your, your attic
52:20
girls and Atta boys, you know, we're just talking heads to We
52:23
don't ever feel like we're talking heads, you know, we're
52:26
proclaiming the gospel to. I like what you said about the
52:30
scripture, Daryl, 'cause I think a lot of people think, you know,
52:34
that was a story that happened way back when.
52:37
And yeah, it feels like we are missing bits and pieces that,
52:41
you know, the filler, the in between the all the list of
52:44
questions that I have been writing about, you know, in
52:47
Genesis. I think in some ways it's kind
52:52
of like the way I even I wrote welcome to my people garden.
52:56
I I didn't ever feel like I needed to get into the weeds
53:00
until the nitty gritty of stuff because I wanted people to know
53:05
just enough to plug and play their own lives.
53:09
And they know the rest of the story.
53:11
They they don't need to know my gossip weeds, you know getting
53:16
into the the dirt and and you know going in deep because we
53:22
can I. Never.
53:25
Knew what that meant. So I can't get in the weed.
53:27
Yeah. But you know, I think it's
53:29
important for people to be able to read the Bible and plug in
53:34
for themselves and apply it in their life.
53:39
And that's OK. If something does not apply to
53:41
you, don't totally discard it. Take it for a mental note
53:47
because it might be something that you see later, but you've
53:51
got the critical thinking skills that having having understood
53:57
now. And this is the first time I
53:59
ever read the Bible like this and us having this active
54:03
discussion week by week, because I tell you when I, I'm
54:08
contemplating things week to week and I get a, you know, I,
54:14
I, I, I don't know, God works with me on it.
54:18
Yeah. And I'm like, oh, that's oh,
54:21
snap. That's what he means by that,
54:24
right? The whole grieving thing, for
54:27
those of you who don't know. Hey, guys.
54:31
MJ popped in, she's one of our hosts and Joel's got us out
54:38
there on TikTok and, and ex and everything.
54:44
I didn't, you know, I lost both of my ex husbands in 2014 and
54:48
2015. I feel like I'm an expert on
54:52
grief. You know, you don't know what
54:56
it's like to raise children without their dads until it
55:02
actually happens. And you know, I have 4 kids,
55:05
never in a million years that I think that I'd have 4 kids and
55:08
no dads around to help me. And, and I have people like, you
55:13
know, gosh, I live vicariously through you.
55:17
Hey, be careful. It this hasn't been easy, right?
55:22
It it is not been easy and it's and somebody told me yesterday
55:28
that I made it, made something. And she says spying on us,
55:33
laughing. I don't do it.
55:36
I don't do and share things to make it feel easy.
55:40
But guess what guys? If I can do something, you can
55:43
do it. And I and the characters in the
55:46
Bible, if they can do it, we can get through things too.
55:53
Absolutely. And the reason why we can is
55:55
because we trust who God is. We trust him, right?
56:00
And it hasn't always been that way because, you know, we, like
56:03
sheep, have gone astray. But we do know this.
56:07
There's going to be a time, a place, and a date that we're
56:10
going to have to give an account of all of our lives, what we've
56:13
done and what we have not done. You have an opportunity to
56:16
become a servant for people. That's what you do.
56:19
Because it's not about you. It's not about accolades, not
56:23
about Confederate parades. It's about what is our
56:26
relationship with God, to be a servant, because Christ Jesus,
56:30
our Lord, Savior, demon king, that's exactly who he remains to
56:34
us, a servant. So what do you want to do?
56:40
Do we, are we going to go ahead and do another discussion next
56:44
week, next week? Until we can't discuss it
56:47
anymore. Did this, this particular
56:49
family, this particular family, we can, we can go up and down
56:56
the line. There's moral injury, there's
56:58
spilling everywhere. Yeah.
56:59
There's spilling even with the concubines, even with the.
57:02
Oh, for sure, yeah, 'cause we have not talked about Rachel,
57:06
haven't really talked about Sarah.
57:08
So we have plenty of people to talk about next week.
57:11
So this is what we're going to, you know, we'll, we'll do
57:14
another recap next week. And that's because I feel like
57:19
there's room for us to really make those correlations with
57:24
society today and make sure that, you know, we have this
57:30
framework as as revivalists and discussing DSM 5 moral injury,
57:37
healing and recovery. Because if we don't put God back
57:41
in as the moral compass, then we're still, you know, as true
57:45
north as true north, then we're still, we're still misguided.
57:51
So we've got to get back on the path.
57:53
You know the sacred scriptures really quickly before we get
57:56
off. They always when it's important,
58:01
it outlines what a person looks like, It said.
58:05
Joseph was handsome and well built.
58:09
What did the what did the scripture say about his mother
58:13
say the same thing Boss Sarah. It hinted at that.
58:17
So so Jacob, Isaac and and and Abraham and or every wives from
58:22
this right. Hey, we don't know what they
58:25
look like. We didn't know that they have to
58:28
be wives. But we also know that Joseph
58:30
because that was Rachel's son. He probably was a reflection of
58:34
her in male form. Could be.
58:39
All right, I'm going to go ahead and lead us in the closing
58:41
prayer, OK? Yep.
58:43
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for bringing us together today
58:47
and discussing the great people in Genesis that we are not any
58:54
different. And hopefully the stories about
58:58
their characters and what they've endured is something
59:03
that we can all do some self reflection on and work on our
59:08
own moral injury, healing and recovery.
59:11
Thank you, Father, for your blessings, for nourishing our
59:15
bodies and healing us. And many prayers to all of those
59:19
who are out there going through trials and journeys.
59:22
Come and join us as a revivalist.
59:25
And may may God's word impact you for today, tomorrow,
59:31
forever. In your name we pray.
59:33
Amen. Well, it's done.
59:34
