• 0:06
  Speaker 1: just one long podcast. One of the top shows is
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: all level sports. You don't have to like just the NBA,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, and basketball. No, you can get into
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: something like how about this American Gladiators. It's all level sports,

  Speaker 1: dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey, how are you doing today, Marty?
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Dude? I am. I'm doing really good. I'm doing better
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: than I should be.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Really, that's a good place to be in this day
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of questions, man, because we are flooded with questions and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: then you come along and you're giving us brand new music.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: So at least we can find some answers inside those lyrics.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Ooh boy, that would be the god part. That's not
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: my part. But yeah, Amen, what is it like for
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: you to play that role?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Because I mean, that's a very interesting thing that you
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: just said, because a lot of people when when it
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: comes to my Christian background and my strength and believing
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: in Jesus, I mean, they'll look at me and they'll
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: they'll see, Okay, so you're a radio guy and you're
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: a Christian. No, they're the same person, dude, they're the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: same person.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Amen, God uses Uh, he'll use a donkey, right.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I'm glad I'm not a rock because he said he'd
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: use those too well.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: But but but Peter was the rock and that's why
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: he called him that. And look what he did with
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that rock. He turned it into churches that went around
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the world.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Amen. He got that rock and now he's on the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: roll what.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: To be a part of music even today. This this
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: really inspires me because so many people think that they
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: can hit a certain level when it comes to our
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: relationship with Christ and they think, Okay, that's all the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: farther I'm gonna grow And it's like, no, it's a continuation.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: The entire book is about continuation, and you're proving that
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: with with with your music. It's like it just keeps
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: growing forward.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Oh man, I appreciate you saying that. That's a confirmation
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: it was. I mean, I'm not gonna lie, you know
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: with UH. As the world spends in every year, UH
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: stacks on the other and I find myself getting much
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: older and I feel like Indiana Jones and the first
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: arc movie of you know, it's it's not the years,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: it's the mileage.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: And I really feel like at this point in my
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: life it is a miracle. I mean, it's kind of
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: a Sarah thing if I go that far of just
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: seeing how God called my family and I out of Franklin, Tennessee,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: back in twenty ten to move to Denver, of all places.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: And yeah, and we've in confirmation after confirmation, and that's
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: another that would take too much time. But really knowing
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: without a doubt, with the peace of God in our home,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: that God did say go to Denvery. The Holy Spirit
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: said there's a green light. I want you to go
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: to Denver. Didn't know what it was really for. I
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: was going to help a buddy start a church which
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: is still growing and is pretty big today here. But
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: as I was helping him with that, Valor Christian High
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: School just came out of the blue and God showed
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and confirmed to me and Jeff, my partner in the
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: church plant, that only God could have orchestrated that. Had
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I not been out here in Denver, poised and ready
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: when the opportunity opened, I would have never been able
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: to jump into that position. And so for the last
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: fifteen years, I've been an educator, teaching high school. And
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: during that time, you know, I'm teaching songwriting, study, recording production,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: all those things that you know any high school teachers.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I'm kidding, it's so unusual.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I always had I had a meet back in high school,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: but with technology and all the stuff that we're doing
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: during the handing off of whatever I have over the
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: years to the next generation, and just they had confirmation
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: again after confirmation of God just saying, hey, this is
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: what I've I've really called you to do. And quite frankly,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: er I didn't think I would ever use my degree
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: because as soon as I graduated from college, I jumped
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: on the tour bus for thirty years of my life.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: But this is how God works because during that time,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: last about this time, as he began to really download
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: messages to me and just said, okay, listen, you have
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: vicariously been writing through teenagers for the last fourteen years.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Then and he said, I, but I've called you to create,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and I really need you to write some songs that
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: echo my heart right now in this era of the world.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: And when he gave me the first one coming down,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I thought, oh wow, nobody, nobody writes about this, and
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I thought how I said, Okay, God, I want to
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: be a good steward with this. I want to be
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: able to justify the message. I want to make the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: right track. I want to I don't want to be cheeseball.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I don't want it to be banal, hackneyed, cliched.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Or any of that stuff.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: I really want it to justify the message that is
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: going to be pure from your heart, to get to
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: the people, to really lay out the whole truth of
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: the Second Advent of Jesus, because he is his feet
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: are going to hit the mount of Olive it and
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: that ground is going to split in two. And whether
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: you're pre mid post pre wrath, whatever you are with
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: the rapture, time blind, it doesn't matter because at the
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: end of that seven year period, Jesus' feet are gonna
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: make contact, and he is going to rule and reign
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: for a thousand years, and we're going to rule with him.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: That scripture is very clear about that.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: And he wanted me to write this as just not
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: in your face arrogant, but in your face as a truth,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: as Jesus who will not be returning as the lamb,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: but as the lion, and I thought, okay, well, let
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: me roll up my sleeves. So last summer I wrote
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: the song, started making the track, and as soon as
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I did, he downloaded another one and it was, you know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: one of my frustrations as a teacher, the whole anomaly
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: of dopamine and screen time. Yeah, the teenage Oh my gosh,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: he's teenagers are just I mean, seriously, Arrow, there are
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: guys that are just incredible boys, great athletes, and you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: in all other eyes they're normal, but they're just so
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: glued to the phone. I'll tell them all right, Evan,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: he's gonna hate that. I said his name, Evan. Put
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: the phone down, bro, come on, I'll keep going. Oh yes, sir,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Puts it down. I walk around and get
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: back to the table. He's got it in his hand again,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: and I was like Evan, and he's like, oh, oh,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I'm so sorry, and he put it down and I
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: could tell he just he couldn't help himself. And it
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: has been pressing on me to see the screen time
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: replacing though in the word time. You know, we hold
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: the world in our hand, but really, God, wants us
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: to hold his word in our heart and especially.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: In these days.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: And he said, right, get it out there, because we
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: got to make sure they understand this is serious now.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Because there's not a whole lot of time left.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I use this screen I use this song screen Time
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: as a great lesson to teach. And the reason why
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: is because I work at a grocery store just for
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the fun of it, because I love people, and I
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: believe that a true urch is in a grocery store
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: because that's community. You don't have to come dressed up
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: like a Sunday morning. That's everybody, every walk of life, tall, small, big,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you name it, poor, rich, everything. And so I look
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: at the being at the grocery store as being a
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: church and a song like screen Time. I will put
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: my teens over there at self checkout and they'll grab
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that phone. I'll say, do you know what if that
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: mystery shopper comes through here and you get busted on
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that phone, you're turning your back on Christ. And they go,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: what what are you talking about? Because that mystery shopper
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: could be God coming in here saying, Hey, you see
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that person over there in aisle number two. They need
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: you right Now you may not be something holy, but
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: they're gonna need something to make their life better because
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: they're bringing their weight into this store.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Dude. That's good. Yeah, because that's just looked towards the
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: end of the chorus that says you can't hear Jesus cost.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: That's why I was. That's exactly it.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Oh that's good man, that's good.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: So that tells me that you're a people watch your
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: ear is on the ground, that you really do listen
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and you pay attention. And it's almost like life has
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: become your book to study. And when you've got questions,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: guess who's there. It's not Chad GPT, it's the big guy.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Amen. That's right. And it's funny you bring up the AI.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Problem, and I mean tool we've all used AI for
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: years just in Google searches. But you know this is
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: where I as a teacher. Oh boy, now we're going
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: to get into another area. I can't go there. I
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: can't go down that hole. But the AI thing is
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: I made it a point when I started writing new
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: songs to just pray the night before, pray in the
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: morning before I start the day, and really seek God
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: on my face about giving me wisdom and opening my
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: heart and my ears to be able to take the
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: download from him and parse it out without.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: The use of AI.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: And it's, uh, it's the way we always did it.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is old school.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: It's so weird to say that old school, but that's
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: the way it was back in the day with the
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: publishing deals. And you know, I uh, I'm so thankful
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: for the fact that he gives the wisdom, he gives
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: the lyric, he gives the melody, he gives everything you
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: need as an artist to carve out exactly what he
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: means to say in the way he wants it to said,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: without having, you know.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: To succumb to you know, the chief tricks.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Now I'm you know, I'm guilty, uh leslie, you know,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: connected us with him. I had to write my bio,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: uh for I forgot. I guess it was for coming
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: down and we put all the bullet points out. But
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I just thought, man, I do not have done. I
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: was working on schoolwork on the couch in my living
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: room and my life just said we just use chat
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: and I thought.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: What, yeah, yeah yeah.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: But then I did and I looked at it. I
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: was like, oh my gosh, this is really good.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I changed a few things, but you know, full disclosure,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: that's that's what I did. But sometimes in a pitch,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: it is a tool and as long as you give
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: the input, it will do it. But at the end
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: of the day, the best chat out there is Jesus, absolutely,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Holy Spirit.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Marty McGehee coming
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: up next. Two songs, a third one on the Way,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and a history that will totally blow you away. We
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: are back with singer songwriter Marty Mcgeehey, don't you love
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the way that worship bands have become so amazingly attractive
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: inside the church? Now people will come just for the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: worship band. That's what I go through at elevation worship
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: is the fact that before Pastor Furdy gets up on
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: that at that pullpit, I mean, we go through the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: experience of elevation worship. And so I and I look
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: at people like yourself and you still being in the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: church as active as you are. I'm going I know
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: what you're doing. You're not just warming up the people.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: You're planting a message before even a bigger message is
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: going to be released.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Heymen, that's the that's the process, that's the way it
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: was with the with the temple. Yes, you know that's
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: the that's the way it was laid out. And you're right, bro.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Uh, as long as our flesh is.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Not a part, Uh, you bring up a really good
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: subject as far as excellence is concerned. Because everybody wants
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: some sort of a worship deal these days. Yes, and
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: I get it because that kind of replaces some of
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: the most of artistry in the Christian sector.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: But my take is.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: That, you know, yeah, the flesh part is that you
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: have to work, rehearse, you have to do your due
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: diligence and making sure that everything is strong, it's on
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: the money, ready to go front of house, the whole team,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: and then come service time, you get out of the way. Yeah,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: and let Jesus do what he needs to do. That
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: is our sacrifice. What is Romans twelve one and two.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Paul said that I beceieved you, brethren, by the mercy
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: something that can crawl off the altar. It's really it's hard,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: but you have to do the due diligence, your work,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: your rehearsal, your memorization, working out the parts, do all
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: of that and that's when you begin to be transformed
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: by the renewing of your mind. Yes, and then God,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: God can use you and you step out of His way.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons why I love your music so
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: much is that there are so many people that are
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: called to the altar these days. But the problem is, though,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: is that people are called, they do accept Christ John
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: three point sixteen, they are baptized, and when they're raised
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: to life like that, they think it's all said and done. No, no, no, no.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: What you just shared with me is the very reason
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: why it's a continuation. You have to work on it,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: you have to build on it. You take things away,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: you put things back in, replenish that garden. That soil
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: comes from a greater power.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Hey Dan bro Yeah that wow, you just you just
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: dug a good one pun attended. That's that is the
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: very message that the Holy Spirit keeps this old fart
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: feature on his toes with every day because we do
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: run out, and especially with the years and everything that
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: consumes us. Stuff flies so fast now and if you're
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: not careful, you're going to turn around and realize that
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: you are completely spent and you have nothing for the
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Holy Spirit to use now granted his strength is made
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: perfect in our weakness, but at the same time, as
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: a good steward, I have to get on our youngest son.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: We have three signs.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: One's twenty nine, twenty eight, and don't do this seventeen
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: and he is not under the conviction yet that sleep
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: actually promotes health. So you have to get to a
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: place where you realize the most important thing in these
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: last days which we are, we're in the end of
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: the end time. There's been the reason why it's so
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: different than say Nero or World War two Hitler. It's
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: called Convergence and my next single coming out and I
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: guess may I'll have to talk with the guys.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: It's going to deal with just that. It's going to
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: be called Endgame.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: This is how in touch with people you are. You
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: hear that calling, you hear that voice, and and and
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I want to I want to speak with the listener
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that doesn't understand what that means. You're not going to
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: hear physical words, You're going to feel You're gonna don't
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: try and waste your time to try to figure it out.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Just do it. Just do it. You know what's going on.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: You're being led.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: I love that because it's a It gives a fourth
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: dimension to everything.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah, especially if God does call you.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: In an he anoints whatever it is he's sending out
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: because already had record deals, already had a career, A
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: couple of them.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Already was involved with over let's see for him.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: The four of us we did a little over five
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: thousand concerts together.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: And that's not that stuff isn't glittery at all to me.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: It's something to where I have to resist, even if
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: God calls me out to go sing around the corner
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: or on another state. I got to fight the natural
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: nature of just packing a suitcase or looking at my
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: overnight kid hanging on the shower at home. You know,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: there are certain sacrifices that come with that. But I
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: want to make sure that everyone understands when He calls
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: you to do something like when he called me this
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: late in life, post careers, it's really the obedience that
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: he honors, and then he will use you, and it's
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: out of that motive. Sometimes he has to get you
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: to a place where it's not about the publishing deal.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: It's not about the royalties for mailbox money. That's what
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: we used to call it. It's it's not about any fame,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: which brings a huge curse with it. It's not about
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: any of this stuff. It's about being available and then
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: with your obedience, God uses that.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, oh man, yes, yes, yes, so up there in Colorado.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I've not attended a church in Colorado. I just know
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: how we are down here in the South. Are they
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: raising their arms? Are they screaming hallelujah? Are they sitting
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: there singing right along? Because I'll tell you what that's.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: You know, when when you say that you want to
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: fill people up with that love, that's what I want
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: to see. I want to see people receive it. I
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: want to see people just really bring it together and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: hug people and love people they've never met before, and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden they then there's that relationship that's
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: now made it a solid foundation in his name.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Gotta be straight up with you, Arrow, It's it's a
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: weird market here.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: See. I'm from the I'm from the South.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, Louisiana. Man, I'm right in the belt,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: the buckle of the belt. So where are you are
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: you in North Carolina?
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I'm in Charlotte.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: You and Charlotte, Yeah, Okay, because you talk about Stephen
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: in your comments, I kind of figured with the Elevation Church. Yeah,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: we wore.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Out Charlotte, I know, back in the day.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: But down in the South, I'm very used to accustomed
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: to how we freely worship in the South. And it's
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: funny you bring that up in Denver. It is a
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: very fickle, inconsistent thing. It's definitely not the belt. It is, yeah,
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: but not to say that God is much bigger than that,
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: and he is beginning to turn things around.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: I've been.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Leading work ship at a church across the street from
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: our school. It's called Cherry Hills Community Church, and uh yeah,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: it's pretty, really nice sized church. It's been there I
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: forgot how many years, but they came and asked me,
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: even in my busy schedule as a teacher. The pastor,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Kurt Taylor's incredible guy. He's he's also on the board
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: with Valor with the high school, and he knew my schedule,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: but he was just like, dude, I just feel like
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: you could help this eight o'clock chapel service across the
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: street every Sunday.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: He said, man, just you you don't have to have
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: an office.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: You you don't have to come to the meetings, staff
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: meetings with any of that stuff. Just build a worship
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: team with this chapel service. I was like, okay, yeah,
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: I'll do it finally, but man, go ahead has been
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: blessing and it's stilling up that one space where we're
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: doing it, and I'm beginning to see multi generationally, how
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: how much bigger God is than things we call demographic
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: or you know. And yeah, I'm no longer under the
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: very limited scope. Yeah, just thinking I figured out a
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: certain market.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: But yeah, God is on the move. I will say,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: don't you love it? Though?
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: When they do come up with questions, Students or any
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: adult at any age come up with questions, and because
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I'll look at him and I'll go, what is your interpretation?
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Before we jump into a study, I want to know
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: where you are and what would lead to a question.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I'm willing to listen, but are you willing to listen
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: as well? Do you ever give that to somebody?
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, because that's how you earn yes their attention. You know,
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: before if you were too quick to speak, I mean,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Proverbs a whole lot to say about that, you know.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Let's say, let's go Proverbs twelve fifteen and sixteen says
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: the way of a fool seems.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Wise in his own eyes, but the wise listen to instruction.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: The fool shows his annoyance at once, but the prudent
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: overlooks an insult.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: To be slow to speak and very quick to listen.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: And I might add to that.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: A bit tolerant to listen, because there's a patience involved
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: and you don't have to be a you know, family
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: counselor to be equipped for this. This is just one
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: of the fruits of the spirit. And just being patient
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: enough to hear what they have to say. And when
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: they know you've connected with their thought, they will listen
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: to you all day.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a big change on the way because
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: something just happened in the past couple of weeks here
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: in Charlotte where you just kind of grin about it,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: or Christian Wood or a believer would, and that is
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: is that a radio station that that was featured on
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: two different stations is going away and what are they
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: putting on it? God? And I'm thinking, oh my God,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: here it comes, you know, and you know, so so
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: there goes that secular music, you know, right out the
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: out the door and look what they're planting in there.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, man, dude, what what affiliate?
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you know or or can you say?
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Well, it was definitely Radio one that got rid of it.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: And then they picked a company up and I want
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: to say both of them are from South Carolina.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, how about that. Yeah, God's on the move.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: He's about to change this. Uh, this whole geologic predictive market,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: it really is.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: And amen with this.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: In time, I wanted to make sure that before we
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: stop this interview that at least I have a chance
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: to say that even with the darkness that's mounting and
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: the delusion that we're entering right now, which is going
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: to be pretty epic. I mean, the Bible says that
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: it'll be so great it'll be to the degree that
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: even the very left would be deceived if that were possible.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: But we're about to go into a time the world's
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: never seen ever. And yet I kind of want people
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: to the people of God to take the encouragement that
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: the servant of Elisha. Did you know when all of
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: those armies gathered to slaughter them, and Elisha's servant was
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: looking out of the window and just freaking out and
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: he just said. Elisha said God, I've opened his eyes
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: so that he can see what I'm seeing. And when
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: he opened his eyes, he solved that many more were
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: therefore him than against him. Yes, and this time, you
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: know the Psalm ninety one says, a thousand wist fall
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: at your side, in ten thousand at you're right hand.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: But all of that evil will not come near you.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Only with your eyes will you behold and see the
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: reward of the wicked. That's the word of God. And
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: when we entered this time, I just want to make
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: sure people understand and if my songs can help praise God.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: But many more are there for us than against us.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: When the darkness builds and the sin abounds, the Bible says,
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: his grace even more abounds. His presence is going to
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: come in and before we are taken out of here,
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: whenever that is that, He's going to make sure that
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: we understand he is ridiculously greater than any power we're
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: going to see on this earth.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I love where your heart is. Where can people go
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: to find out more about you? Because I want them
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: to really dive into your entire journey. Well at the
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: same time, checking out screen time as well as coming
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: down and the brand new one on the way. I
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: want them to be able to experience it, not just
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: listen to it, experience it.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Well. Thank you, ero. That's pretty cool. That's a wide
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: open opportunity right there.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: All right, this is for me to be very transparent
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: what you're going to find out about me, since I
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: do have a major gig as an educator and my
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: life is consumed until summer. Every summer I do get
• 27:44

• 28:35
