Station where our veterans voices are heard.
0:03
MBR talk. Hey, thanks for supporting our
0:06
channel by watching and. Listening on the web at NB Radio
0:10
dot. As veterans, we begin new lives
0:14
when we leave our military service.
0:16
What is faith? How do we incorporate faith in
0:20
service and after? What resources are available?
0:24
Who do we talk with about faith? These are some of the many
0:29
questions that one may ponder in searching for answers to the
0:33
meaning of life. Join The Revivalists and let's
0:37
search for some answers together.
0:39
Luke 923 Then he said to them, All, Whoever wants to be my
0:45
disciple must deny themselves, and take up their cross daily,
0:49
and follow me. Yeah, we had one of those
1:23
things. Hello everybody, hope you are
1:28
doing well. Welcome, welcome.
1:32
Today is a pre recorded episode I have to work but this is going
1:39
to air on Monday July 20th, the year of our Lord 2026.
1:44
Hey Daryl, how are you today? I'm doing well, dear, Thank you
1:50
for asking. Blessing to you and your family
1:52
and friends and those that you're praying for and those
1:55
that are praying for all of. Us.
1:58
Amen. Amen.
2:00
I, you know, I couldn't help but can just kind of chuckle.
2:03
Even on the intro that, you know, we have, there's something
2:07
in there, I think that says something about the days of
2:11
summer. And here we are, the days of
2:13
summer. We're in July almost, you know,
2:18
we're heading towards the end stretch of July and the summer.
2:23
I mean, we just got here. I know, right?
2:27
We just got here and. There's some.
2:30
School that starts back next week.
2:34
It's, it's amazing. Some schools start opening up
2:37
again Monday or Tuesday. It's, it's amazing.
2:41
You know, when I was growing up, Eva, you got out of school in
2:44
May and they come back in September.
2:46
Right, I remember that. And.
2:49
I. You you come back after.
2:50
Labor Day at the library. Yes, Right.
2:54
Labor Day? No.
2:55
You did. We had, Yeah.
2:58
You came back after, well, well, at least Daryl did.
3:03
At least Daryl came back after Labor Day.
3:04
I'm like, well, whatever I missed, whatever I missed, I'm
3:10
getting Oh my God, goes for the days now.
3:19
Did you ever get? To go visit family during the
3:23
summer, You know, like your parents would take you to my
3:27
parents. Yeah, my my parents.
3:30
Yeah, my parents banished my sister now to Bible Arkansas
3:35
doing the the summer months. I don't I have no idea why I
3:39
just you know, I told my cousin I don't like here I have a thing
3:44
I could be doing to get you older.
3:47
No, I was trying to get rid of us.
3:49
That's all that is. But I would, I would not do my
3:55
children and I know we went on vacation together or we went
4:01
somewhere we had it was a schedule of events where and
4:06
every day they were reading or doing math or science or
4:09
something. So when they got to the room,
4:11
they didn't lose any of any momentum.
4:14
Right, we would go. To Grandma's house, yeah.
4:23
We would go to grandma's house in Oklahoma.
4:29
Oh my goodness, what was that like for you?
4:33
Well, that was really good because Grandma and grandpa,
4:36
well, when I was really little, they managed a bowling alley.
4:41
So that's where I picked up my affinity for bowling, right.
4:45
And my parents would drop us off for a couple of weeks to spend
4:48
time with Grandma and grandpa, and then they'd come back and
4:52
pick us up, you know, a couple weeks later.
4:55
So, but, but I loved it because between the bowling alley
5:00
activities and, and, you know, getting to learn how to bowl,
5:04
especially bowling for the silver dollars on red pin night,
5:08
that was fun. They don't do that anymore.
5:12
But then we'd go fishing. So I learned how to fish pretty
5:17
young. Grandpa would run the trot line
5:20
and, you know, I was always out doing active stuff.
5:25
And we'd take the bicycle with, they lived in a trailer park.
5:29
So we would drive, you know, we'd ride our bicycles all
5:32
through the trailer park. It was just me and my sister
5:35
then. And, you know, we were always
5:38
active. What was that like being with
5:43
your grandparents? Oh, I loved it.
5:46
You know, I guess that's where the affinity for Young and the
5:50
Restless, I still watch. I still watch.
5:52
Oh my God, I have not seen, I have not seen Victor and Nikki
5:59
in years, but I know. They look the same.
6:03
Yeah, you pick right back up. Yeah.
6:06
You do, you do, you know, little technical things, but they
6:11
always know how to tell the story, to pick it back up.
6:14
You know, it's not hard to get invested back into it.
6:17
But you know grandma, you know Doug Brown, all that stuff.
6:22
You know Doug Brown, our friend, right?
6:24
He and Victor, he and Victor Newman look like they look like
6:28
each other. Victor's younger.
6:30
Well, I'm telling you, the first time I ever met Doug, I said,
6:33
Doug, you. You know who you.
6:36
Look like he said Who? Yeah.
6:37
No, Doug. Brown.
6:39
I don't remember that name. Oh, OK.
6:43
He's he's the computer he gives anyway.
6:46
OK. Hey, man, you know what you look
6:50
like, he said. Who?
6:51
Victor Newman. He's well, he probably looks
6:54
like me. Oh, that's funny.
7:01
Oh my God, it's amazing. We lost your video by the way,
7:07
so for. You don't see me now.
7:09
No, we don't see. You.
7:11
Oh, come on, man, I am so I'm so tired of your stuff.
7:16
I'll. Be right back now.
7:16
Yeah. So for folks that don't know,
7:19
Daryl's going through a brownout in his little city.
7:25
But unfortunately I needed to get this recorded because I need
7:28
to work tomorrow and, you know, tomorrow's Monday.
7:33
So this is the share oh airs on Mondays and and I needed to go
7:38
ahead and pre record so I could work all day and be off Friday
7:42
because this weekend I'll be headed to the Southwest meeting
7:49
for the women veterans conference hosted by the VA.
7:54
So for folks, I want to know why we're doing this as a pre
7:58
recording. It's because I will be out of
8:02
town for a couple of days again so.
8:07
He he was on the move. On the move.
8:10
Oh yeah, I have plans already for the end of September.
8:14
I'm kind of stoked about that. I get I get to go antelope
8:20
hunting. You, you, you know, you better
8:23
be be aware of Bo Winkle and Bambi out there now, you know.
8:28
Don't worry, I can shoot. I can shoot.
8:32
Hey, you know The funny thing in saying that though?
8:37
Hey you. Know what antelope?
8:39
Antelope meat is very it's It's gamey, but it's delicious.
8:44
I that's what I've here. They said it tastes a lot like
8:47
deer. I like their meat.
8:49
So you know, it's, it'll be good.
8:53
I am looking forward to it. So you know, but I, I was going
8:59
to say I, I was chuckling because I've, I in the last
9:03
couple weeks, I don't think I've ever in my entire life, even
9:06
when I was active duty, have I ever been told that they thought
9:11
that I was dangerous more in the last three weeks because I know
9:16
how to shoot a bow and arrow and a weapon too.
9:20
Oh, you're dangerous. Really.
9:22
Maybe I'm just, you know, good. Maybe I'm just.
9:28
I am knowledgeable about shooting weapons and hey, don't
9:32
mess with me. That's OK.
9:34
Yeah, Hey, hey, don't mess with Eva.
9:36
You know, she's going to really, she's really going to be an
9:39
asset in a commodity in heaven. So, you know, don't, don't mess
9:42
with evil. Oh.
9:46
Dear, dear, dear. I'm going.
9:48
To be part of the angelic guard. Hey, that's that's that would be
9:54
an interesting position, wouldn't it?
9:57
All two goes there. I you know I'll, I'll know my.
10:02
You'll know. I'll know.
10:05
And what do the angels do all day?
10:07
They praise God. Yep.
10:10
It's all they do. And they'll do the gatekeeping.
10:13
Yep. Oh, so hold.
10:15
Oh, so you you want to be the one that says who does and who
10:18
doesn't? Huh.
10:20
Oh, no, no, no. But you know.
10:25
Hey, Eva, they'll be looking through the gate.
10:27
Hey, I think they're supposed to eat, man.
10:29
You, you don't. You don't want her to side.
10:32
No. She's dangerous.
10:37
Yeah, she got, she got questions for you.
10:39
You. You don't.
10:41
You know The funny thing is though, Daryl, it's the men who
10:44
say I'm dangerous. The women are like, hey, go, you
10:49
go. You know, Dave, they cheer you
10:51
on not about learning new things.
10:55
So you know the self-defense kind of stuff they cheer you on.
10:59
Although although on the powerlifting side from the
11:01
golden games, I I got much respect from both sides.
11:05
So any who. There are people, there are
11:09
look, there are people looking from afar or nearby or in your
11:14
presence. They wish they could do what you
11:17
do. But you know, the sad thing is
11:21
I'm not competing with anybody. I stay in my life.
11:26
That's the point, right? Because you don't you, you're
11:29
not a blowhard, you're not Tooting a horn, right?
11:32
You, you just doing what comes natural to you.
11:35
But those same people who may be detractors, those people, they
11:40
wish they could do what you do. Well, I could do that to where
11:43
you're not doing it. So how do we know?
11:44
Where's the evidence? Evidenced by what that you can.
11:49
Yeah, you know, I stay in my lane, I take care of my stuff
11:54
and just keep moving forward it, you know?
11:58
But even it shows. It shows because we're supposed
12:01
to. As those who serve the Lord our
12:04
God, we're supposed to take care of ourselves physically,
12:07
mentally, emotionally, but more importantly, spiritually.
12:10
That's what we're supposed to do.
12:11
Yep, Yep. You know, I talked about that on
12:14
From Pain to Purpose the other day, my own little personal AAR
12:18
from the two week trip and I had three words that I used
12:25
expectations, preparation and execution.
12:30
And that is all within your own personal control.
12:33
Let's do this. Let's have prayer Yep, and then
12:37
if you briefly when we come back from the prayer, we do 48.
12:45
If you read that, what you just said will go right into 48.
12:50
Praise the Lord. That's what it it'll go into
12:53
that so. Isn't that amazing?
12:56
Isn't it amazing? It'll go right into it.
12:58
Let me pray. Father in Heaven, thank you for
13:00
this time. Thank you, Lord, for the revival
13:03
of radio show, Lord, Thank you, Lord, for Eva and I Thank you
13:07
for our families, our friends, those that continue to pray for
13:10
us as we continue to pray for them.
13:12
And Father, we ask you to bless this world, O Lord, for those,
13:16
Lord, you place an authority. If they are not doing what
13:19
you've assigned them to, do not our will, but allow your will to
13:23
be done. We thank you, Lord, for the
13:26
chapter 48 that we're going to read today about Ephraim and
13:29
Manessa and Lord continually about Jacob and his realization
13:35
that he does belong to you and he will serve you.
13:38
We thank you, Lord, for the story of Joseph the Lord.
13:40
We thank you for it because our stories are their stories as
13:43
well. We bless your name, Father, for
13:45
you certainly indeed worthy to be praised.
13:48
It's in the loving, wonderful name that is indeed Christ Jesus
13:51
and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
13:52
That's your daughters, sons, friends and servants.
13:55
We say Amen, Amen and Amen, the name of the Father and Holy
13:58
Spirit, Amen, Amen. All right, let me there's the
14:06
scripture on stage. Proceed ma'am all.
14:12
Right, so who's reading? You want me to read?
14:14
Or you. Reading.
14:16
You're reading. OK, this is Genesis chapter 48
14:20
in Kessa and Ephraim. Sometime later Joseph was told
14:26
your father is ill, so he took his two sons Vanessa and Ephraim
14:31
along with him. When Jacob was told your son
14:35
Joseph has come to you, Israel rallied his strength and sat up
14:39
on the bed. Jacob said to Joseph, God
14:43
Almighty appeared to me at Lou's in the land of Canaan, and there
14:48
he blessed me and said to me, I am going to make you fruitful
14:53
and increase your numbers. I will make you a community of
14:56
peoples, and I will give this land as an everlasting
15:00
possession to your decedents after you.
15:04
Sorry, descendants, after you. Now then, your two sons born to
15:09
you in Egypt before I came to you here, will be reckoned as
15:13
mine. Ephraim and Manasseh will be
15:16
mine, just as Reuben and Simeon are mine.
15:20
Any children born to you after them will be yours in the
15:24
territory they inherit. They will be reckoned under the
15:27
names of their brothers. As I was returning from Padan to
15:32
my sorrow, Rachel died in the land of Canaan while we were
15:36
still on the way, a little distance from Ephra.
15:40
So I buried her there beside the road to Ephra, that is
15:45
Bethlehem. When Israel saw the sons of
15:48
Joseph, he asked who were these? They are the sons God has given
15:54
me, Joseph said to his father. Then Israel said, Bring them to
15:59
me so I may bless them. Now Israel's eyes were failing
16:04
because of old age, and he could hardly see.
16:07
So Joseph brought his son close to them, and his father kissed
16:10
them and embraced them. Israel said to Joseph, I never
16:15
expected to see your face again, and now God has allowed me to
16:19
see your children too. Then Joseph removed them from
16:24
Israel's knees and bowed down with his face to the ground.
16:28
And Joseph took both of them, Ephraim on his right towards
16:32
Israel's left hand, and Manessa on his left toward Israel's
16:37
right hand, and brought them close to him.
16:40
But Israel reached out in his right hand and put it on
16:44
Ephraim's head, though he was younger, and crossing his arms,
16:49
he put his left hand on Manessa's head, even though
16:52
Manessa was the first born. Then he blessed Joseph and said,
16:58
May the God before whom fathers Abraham and Isaac walk
17:02
faithfully, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this
17:06
day, the Angel who has delivered me from all harm, may he bless
17:11
these boys. May they be called by my name
17:15
and the names of my father's Abraham and Isaac, and may they
17:19
increase greatly on the earth. When Joseph saw his father
17:24
placing his right hand on Ephraim's, Ephraim's head, he
17:29
was displeased. So he took hold of his father's
17:33
hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manassa's head.
17:37
Joseph said to him, no, my father, this one is the 4th is
17:43
the first born. Put your right hand on his head.
17:47
But his father refused and said, I know my son.
17:51
I know he too will become a people, and he too will become
17:56
great. Nevertheless, his younger
17:59
brother will be greater than he, and his descendants will become
18:04
a group of nations. He blessed them that day and
18:07
said, in your name will Israel pronounce this blessing?
18:12
May God make you like Ephraim and Manessa.
18:15
So he put Ephraim ahead of Manessa.
18:19
Then Israel said to Joseph, I'm about to die, but God be with
18:24
you and take you back to the land of your Father's, and to
18:27
get into you I give one more Ridge of land than to your
18:32
brothers, The Ridge I took from the Amorites with my sword, with
18:37
my sword and bow. These are the words of our Lord.
18:42
Amen. May the Lord add a significant
18:45
rich blessing to the reading, hearing, and professing to our
18:48
faith in His Word. Amen.
18:52
So three people got blessed out of this, but also there's the
18:59
fourth being Jacob himself, because this is not the Jacob
19:04
that we knew earlier in the midsections of Genesis.
19:10
This is a man who knows that his days are 9.
19:14
This is a man that knows that he has a limp for the rest of his
19:20
life because he wrestled with God.
19:22
Here's the man that knows that he lost the love of his life,
19:24
Rachel. Here's the man that knows that
19:27
he never thought he would ever see his son Joseph again.
19:32
And yet God has allowed all of this to occur because we are
19:38
here to honor and glorify the Lord.
19:40
But Jacob learned this towards the end of his life as opposed
19:45
at the beginning or the mid portion of it.
19:48
So again, this stipulates to us that we're no better than they
19:57
are because we're the same people.
20:00
That's why you hear a lot of older people are really active
20:03
in church from 67 to 89 and 100 years old, because they feel as
20:07
though, well, I can catch up now.
20:08
I can. I've gotten this other life out
20:11
of the way. I can.
20:16
There's no, there's no catching up with God.
20:18
Just go serve. God.
20:20
God knows your heart better than you do.
20:23
He's the Creator. So Jacob, he blessed Ephraim and
20:28
Manasseh he blessed Joseph. In fact, this is a little known
20:34
fact. At the very end of 48, he gave
20:37
Joseph an additional blessing. He gave another Ridge of land
20:43
that Egypt forever, you know, for the rest of his life.
20:47
But he'd already have that parcel to himself, which perhaps
20:51
I'm believing upon his death will go to his son or sons,
20:56
right? And so we'll find it out at the
20:58
end of Genesis, the full blessings.
21:01
And of course, we'll hear about the blessings of the other ten
21:06
sons as well when we get into 49.
21:10
What are you thinking today there?
21:11
About what you just heard, what you just read.
21:15
A couple of different things, you know, so there was the
21:20
physical ailments that are going on, you know, clearly, you know,
21:26
and, and this is important for our audience, especially in the
21:31
disability arena. Although he's an older man, he's
21:36
recognizing that he can't see his family.
21:41
His son is, you know, Jacob's helping to accommodate.
21:46
Sorry, Joseph is helping to accommodate his father and
21:50
presenting his kids so that he he, you know, knew where they
21:54
were. But then you can tell that he
22:00
tries to explain to him his father, hey, you got them mixed
22:05
up. And his father's like, Oh, no, I
22:08
know there's there's something special about these kids.
22:12
And I did it in the right order. So it's not an insanity thing.
22:17
It's not a physical disability. He heard he knew which kid was
22:22
which, but he he did his blessings in a certain order for
22:29
a reason. And he also did it the way Isaac
22:34
did not do it. Isaac took the word of the
22:38
trickster Jacob that he was indeed Esau because Rebecca and
22:42
he had plotted this right. But they could probably also
22:46
harken back to the fact that although Joseph were telling him
22:50
XY and Z through divine intervention, unbelieving, he
22:55
knew exactly where to place his hands, he knew exactly what he
22:59
was doing, and the blessings went forward.
23:03
That's that's The funny thing, you know, because you could, you
23:08
could, as I was reading that, I was like, oh, he's trying to
23:11
explain away his dad's actions, but how many people have those
23:18
experiences even with their own kids now?
23:22
And and the kids are thinking, oh, he's slightly senile or he's
23:29
you know, he didn't hear me or made excuses only to known that
23:37
they actually had their faculties together.
23:41
Even though he couldn't see, he, he knew exactly, you know, so
23:45
there was that explanation side that I think we tend to do with
23:52
senior, senior people or those with disabilities that we try to
23:57
excuse whatever it is because we want to think that we, you know,
24:03
the, the abled can, can interpret and think for somebody
24:09
else because they're disabled. And to your point, sister, God
24:16
is not senile either. When we pray, we heard you the
24:20
first time. We don't have to continue to
24:23
pray for the same thing. He heard you emphatically the
24:28
first time. Delay doesn't mean denial.
24:33
He heard you. So while Jacob was giving the
24:39
blessing to this to his grandchildren, Joseph was
24:44
probably in awe too, because he'd never seen something like
24:47
this before. He probably, but and he probably
24:51
now also knows the story of Isaac and Rebecca and him and
24:56
Esau. And so it dawned on him also
24:59
after his father told him, Son, I know.
25:02
He said, oh, OK. Yeah, It was like, oh, man, OK,
25:07
now I'm connecting the dots. I mean, that was kind of neat
25:11
that dad gave him a little history lesson, you know, And
25:16
maybe they had never had that discussion up until this point.
25:21
I mean, because maybe they didn't have a reason why to have
25:24
it, though you would have thought that there would have
25:26
been some kind of curiosity, you know?
25:29
Hey, so catch me up. What happened to Mom You?
25:32
Know right, right I. Mean how did they not have that
25:36
conversation? And all those scriptures, right?
25:39
And all those scriptures silent there.
25:41
I believe it occurred because it Joseph didn't argue.
25:46
It dawned on him because I'm, I'm thinking he'd heard the
25:49
story. He heard the full story of he,
25:54
he saw Isaac and Rebecca. And then I'm thinking also that
26:00
they had time to talk. This is probably where we're in
26:03
49. When we'll get to it, we'll find
26:05
out why Jacob was rather harsh on the sun regarding Joseph and
26:13
such. And the blessings went the way
26:16
the blessings went. And one of those blessings,
26:19
we'll really be surprised of who got that blessing because as
26:22
we've read previously, you know, the, the human mortal aspect of
26:27
us is that there's no way this guy's getting a blessing, but
26:30
but he will. So God blesses anyone he wants
26:34
to. He'll use and he'll, he has
26:38
demonstrated he'll use the donkey, he'll use the lion,
26:41
he'll use an axe head, he'll use anything for his glory to be
26:47
revealed. And we have to also go back.
26:49
This isn't the 17 or the 30 year old Joseph we're talking about
26:53
now. Joseph's well into his 40s,
26:54
maybe close to 50 now, right? And and still being a governor
27:01
of the land and only second to Pharaoh.
27:04
Pharaoh probably was, I'm, I'm, I'm believing Pharaoh probably
27:08
was maybe just a little older than Joseph, maybe Joseph's age,
27:14
maybe a little younger than Joseph when all of this
27:17
happened. Because you, you have to
27:19
probably look at there was some youth involved here because
27:24
Pharaoh didn't know what to do. But I know what he was going to
27:27
do. He was going to execute the
27:30
people who are worthless to him because you can't determine the
27:33
dream. And so that would have been,
27:35
that would have been disaster for some people.
27:38
And the the the Butler knew, based on his history that he
27:44
might, you know, his life was in danger because, you know, no
27:47
more could write so that he immediately remembered Joseph
27:51
from the prison, right. And so you know what?
27:55
When our lives are on the line, there's a lot of things we
27:59
hearken back to, you know, we. In that right, imagine.
28:02
That it's amazing. It's amazing.
28:06
It's amazing. I think it was ironic that, you
28:09
know, with the with those blessing and you can just
28:13
envision, you know, envision that he's crossing his hands to
28:19
bless the ones. And how ironic that the
28:24
blessings that ended up happening between himself and
28:29
and Esau were reversed. You know, is like, is this a
28:34
trait? It's not the oldest who's
28:36
supposed to get. I mean, the oldest is supposed
28:38
to get it, but this is the opposite.
28:42
The history of opposite again. And when we read on in
28:45
Scripture, we'll find out that the oldest doesn't always
28:48
receive it, it's the youngest. So we go back again to Jacob.
28:55
He saw Rebecca and Isaac. Isaac was blind.
29:03
And because Isaac was blind didn't mean he didn't have
29:07
insight or discernment of who he was talking to.
29:10
He was going by field. Here we have Jacob doing the
29:14
same thing. He's going by field, right?
29:17
Even though he's divinely directed on what to do, there's
29:22
some. Right.
29:23
He was announced who was who, but he purposely, you know,
29:30
blessed the opposite. And Joseph didn't argue.
29:35
Yeah. And that kind of ironic.
29:38
I mean, he tried to correct it and he's like, Nope, this was
29:41
intentional. That's what I get out of it.
29:44
This was intentional, but he had expectations.
29:49
I mean, this is going back to the words that I was using while
29:52
ago, that he had expectations about how things were supposed
29:57
to go, but that's not how it went.
30:00
And then he just rolled with it. And you know it, he he said that
30:09
the other will still be a great nation, right?
30:13
But this blessing goes to him. And when you look at the tribes
30:20
of Israel, there were 12 tribes named by the name of the sons
30:26
and such. There was no tribe of Joseph
30:29
because the the tribe of Joseph basically was with Benjamin and
30:38
I mean Esau, Ephraim and Manetha were all grafted in.
30:44
That's why there were 12 tribes. And at the very end of King
30:50
Solomon's life and his son Rehoboam became king, he had 12
30:55
tribes, but because of his foolishness and immaturity, he
30:59
escaped with his life and only had two Judah and Benjamin.
31:04
You read on before King Saul came from the tribe of Benjamin.
31:11
So all of these things line up appropriately for us when we
31:17
seek knowledge of what Scripture is.
31:19
And, and I promise and guarantee, because you've done
31:21
it yourself, I'm sure you have. You read something 25 years ago,
31:26
30 years ago, 40 years ago, 50. Years ago.
31:30
Last week, right? That is totally different than
31:34
how you interpret it or how you understand it right now.
31:37
Yeah, because I hadn't ever read that part about, you know, this
31:43
the submission of everything, right.
31:46
Everything got sold to the state, everything I got, you
31:49
know, they were, they were totally submissive to what big
31:56
government Pharaoh was doing. And, you know, I it it it
32:01
clicked when I read that. I was like, wow, I did it.
32:05
I mean, I'm not saying that it's, you know, how do I say I'm
32:13
not saying that big government is right, wrong and different.
32:18
It's I just didn't ever actually see the example of big
32:26
government until the way they had talked about it.
32:29
I mean, that far back in history.
32:32
I thought that was very intriguing to to fascinating.
32:37
That's the word. I was very fascinated that big
32:40
government was in existence then and that everybody was having to
32:45
sell everything to the government and you know, that
32:51
subsistence of things being relegated to the grain to feed
32:56
their families and everything. You know, I don't know.
33:00
That's just hard. The the money was worth the sis.
33:06
So what else do you have right? You know, you know you've given
33:09
them. So what else do you have?
33:11
So you may eat right. So before we have time elapsed
33:16
because it's it's 52 after the hour, go ahead and get into your
33:24
information that she was going to share the ties directly into
33:27
48 today. Yeah, so you know, part of it,
33:32
and it's neat looking at it because I pulled, I pulled the
33:34
scripture back up on my, on my tab on my computer again.
33:39
But it was Israel saying to Joseph, I never expected to see
33:44
your face again. And now God has allowed me to
33:47
see your children too. You know, the expectations that
33:50
we have for different events, for dealing with families.
33:55
You know this is a man who had he had 0 expectations on getting
34:02
to see his son again and 0 right because he thought that he had
34:07
died. He he took the word of his son,
34:09
saying that he was killed by some wild animal.
34:12
Yeah, but my my reflection in my show yesterday about on Frank
34:19
from Pain to Purpose radio show was I was covering my own AAR
34:25
about after Action review. For those of you who are not
34:28
Army affiliated, AAR was about what I had on my trip for, you
34:36
know, the Golden Age games, my own personal, you know, feedback
34:42
loop on what were my expectations in attending the
34:46
games? How much preparation did I do?
34:49
Was it adequate? Did I, you know, did I do it
34:53
strategically? I mean, because I'm always
34:56
thinking the strategy on a variety of different levels of
34:59
things. And then how did I do on the
35:01
execution side? So I covered at length those
35:06
three things in the sports that I was doing, the archery, the
35:12
golf, the power walking, which didn't happen, the bowling,
35:17
which happened. But I knew that I hadn't really
35:21
trained, didn't have my own ball.
35:24
I had very low expectations, but I wasn't feeling it either, you
35:29
know, I just knew I wasn't. It's just everything.
35:31
Since my back had been injured several years ago, my bowling
35:37
level is not on par what it was before.
35:41
But I can't get that back that my back is my back, my knees are
35:45
my knees and you know, it is what it is.
35:48
So my expectations about the rest of it for the powerlifting,
35:52
that was the that was the sport that I started training for
35:58
early on because I knew that you don't develop the muscles for
36:03
dead lifting and bench pressing overnight.
36:07
That takes time to do. Right, so.
36:10
Strategically, I knew when I signed up that was the one I had
36:14
to start on 1st and then, you know, the preparation for that
36:20
between the other sports of golf and archery involved equipment.
36:25
It involves scheduling my my own personal training and everything
36:31
and then, you know, executing. But part of that with
36:35
expectations is not everything's on our time schedule.
36:40
So that's why I didn't get to do the power walking because of the
36:43
heat that they, we got this e-mail that was really intended
36:49
for the Monday people at 11 AM who were scheduled to come in
36:55
Tuesday morning at 7:00. Well, I misinterpreted, which
37:00
worked out better for me anyways, because I got squeezed
37:03
in on that early 7:00 AM and they had canceled the 11 AM
37:09
round that that day. So it worked out both on the
37:13
expectations, preparation, execution.
37:15
I, you know, I, I did some practice on both golf and
37:19
archery like I had intended because I was also nursing my
37:25
back on the powerlifting, diverting to the other two
37:30
sports and getting those ramped up and getting my skill level to
37:35
where I wanted it, at least for the first competition was on
37:41
par. I felt like I did OK, Now I can
37:44
take those skills and keep applying it.
37:48
You know from here that I think the biggest thing there that
37:53
really ties into what we're talking about with today's, with
38:02
today's scripture is our expectations of ourselves and
38:08
expectations of others. There is some moral injury
38:11
healing and trauma that's available for us to talk about
38:16
with DSM 5 because you see the dynamics between father and son
38:23
that that healing is happening, right?
38:26
And, and they had a different way of discussing things for the
38:31
healing to happen. But when our brothers and
38:34
sisters come back home and they've been estranged from
38:39
their family, that integration back at home is kind of awkward
38:45
until you can get past some of those barriers to discuss.
38:49
Well, what are my expectations? How much preparation did I do to
38:55
get my head and my heart, my soul mentally and spiritually
38:59
ready to and emotionally to deal with other people, but then with
39:05
me as well. And then how am I going to
39:07
execute? Because if I have too high of
39:09
expectations that, you know, everything's going to be hunky
39:12
Dory and then everything falls flat.
39:16
Then I you, you set yourself up for too high of expectations and
39:20
maybe, you know, go in a little bit lower and let the
39:26
expectations, you know, let the execution side exceed the
39:30
expectations and you're not going to be as disappointed if
39:35
things don't go the way you want them to.
39:38
Amen. Amen.
39:40
God will bless you, man will fail you.
39:43
That's that's, that's, that's how it works, right?
39:47
Interesting that we were able to go and, and connect with 48
39:50
today and when we get into 49, we can go back and connect some
39:55
dots from 48 to 49 because this is the same time and place that
40:01
the blessings occurred. And I'm under the impression
40:07
that we're under blessings right now.
40:10
Eva, you know You, you. You can see.
40:13
How God has pronounced and projected where we're supposed
40:16
to go, it's up to us. If we're going to, you know,
40:19
walk that pathway, we're going to hit the trail properly.
40:22
If we don't, it's on us. It's not on Him.
40:25
It's a choice. You know how many people look?
40:30
What's that phrase? They look?
40:31
A gift horse in the mouth? Really.
40:33
You turned down the opportunity to do something, you said no,
40:38
and then you complain and decide to be a victim because you
40:42
didn't get what you wanted. How's that working for you?
40:48
It's not, you know, and I've, I've shared with you the comings
40:51
and goings of decisions that I, I thought I was going to be
40:54
making. But you know, God always speaks.
40:57
He, he will if you listen, if you harken to what he's saying,
41:02
you're like, man, you, you're off the path.
41:05
This is not what I have for you. I have something.
41:07
Else so talk about that, Daryl, you know you're making some life
41:14
choices right now and how are you using that discernment to
41:19
figure out which which lane is the one that is God's path for
41:25
you? You know, the, the enemy is an
41:28
interesting person and the enemy is here to deflect from you what
41:34
God is speaking to you, the wisdom, knowledge, understanding
41:38
inside and discernment. So I have my wife who's I'll
41:45
every day there's another challenge that's associated with
41:48
that mental health standpoint, but she's not going anywhere
41:52
other than being here. She's not being placed anywhere.
41:55
I just have to just bear down and make sure, you know, we, we
41:59
got the rolling blackouts here and such.
42:04
And her, her, her television is not on.
42:06
And I was getting complaints during the show.
42:09
And so it's, it's what it is because I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm
42:14
certain because she's proven it before when I was ill, she stood
42:18
tall. She was an eagle in the nest.
42:20
She made sure I was fine. She's a tigress.
42:23
So I can do that. Then academically, you know,
42:26
there are some things that, you know, I, I want to be able to
42:29
add on to, you know, my, my earthly impressive resume.
42:35
But God said no, so I'm not going to do it.
42:39
I'm going to do one piece of it, but not the other two because I
42:42
found out that I didn't need to do the other two.
42:44
I didn't need to go to nursing school to do those things,
42:48
right? And again, I'm not trying to,
42:50
you know, keep accolades on myself.
42:53
I'm trying to do something that is going to benefit humankind
42:57
going forward. And I still do that from a
43:00
clinical governance standpoint. You just keep doing it.
43:03
So also do you think? That the devil, Satan just been
43:09
throwing these obstacles in your way And and this is all about
43:16
this is all about God saying it's OK, I got you there, I got
43:21
you, I got you and all right, so we're going to let me pick this
43:27
tree branch out of your way. That is a distraction.
43:32
And wait a minute, not just the tree branch, you know a.
43:36
Trunk. Tree, right and, and you have
43:41
you have to jump up in that Joshua tree because you got
43:43
coyotes and wolves and things down below ready to eat you, you
43:48
know, you want to put you on the menu.
43:49
So I I know this but but but. But but, but taking the wrong
43:55
path would cost you more money, would cost you more time, would
44:00
cost you more pain and suffering of things that you know, you
44:06
would get at the end of that and say, now you're telling me I
44:10
didn't need this whatsoever. Now that you have, you know,
44:14
extended all of this extra stuff to what end?
44:17
Because here's the answer was like way over here and God was
44:22
like, I had you on this path there.
44:24
What are you doing? And and so you spoke to it
44:27
earlier, right? And, and again, you know,
44:29
everybody, if you don't notice, Eva is, you know, somewhat very
44:32
prophetic. She asked as us when she goes to
44:36
heaven and ask questions, God's going to answer.
44:39
He may answer, He may answer her questions.
44:41
And nobody else is going to ask me evil questions.
44:44
So for me that would have been another 3-4 years out of my
44:51
life, right? You know, you get the 1, you get
44:54
the two and then you still have to wait two years to get the get
44:58
the license or the, or the certification that goes to the
45:00
other thing. So, you know, now I'm.
45:03
Kind of glad you've had this revelation, Daryl, because you
45:07
know, I was doing some serious head scratching a few weeks ago
45:12
when you're telling me that I was like, OK, I just.
45:16
I prayed for you. I'm sorry, I just.
45:17
Prayed for you, said I. Hope he finds the discernment
45:20
that this is not the path he's supposed to be.
45:23
On and and and not only is that correct, it's not and not only
45:28
is prophetic, it's profound because it is very, very easy to
45:32
get off the pathway. It it, it just distractions the
45:36
bound. And what's unfortunate about the
45:40
distractions are that some people believe that's what God
45:43
wants you to do. It sounds good.
45:46
It can be good, but that's not your pathway.
45:50
My pathway is, you know, when I was sitting there.
45:53
I think I think that the whole public administration actually
45:57
made more sense than even the DH side.
46:01
But and wait a minute, you. Maybe I'm biased on the public
46:05
administration. In many ways it's it's, it's
46:08
somewhat interchangeable for me because it's still a platform to
46:12
speak to. If you do the, if you do the
46:14
nursing, it's not because it will turn into something else
46:19
you probably thought that you had control over and you don't,
46:23
you don't have control over that, particularly from being in
46:27
RN. You, you don't, you know, people
46:29
want you to be on that floor. People want you to be doing that
46:32
service in the hospital or those extended care facilities and
46:36
such. And you know, I thought I had it
46:39
figured out so I could do this and do that, still be home.
46:41
No, you can't. Your time's not your own, right?
46:45
So thank you for the prayers. Thank you for me, Lord,
46:49
listening because I was about to go instead of me going straight
46:55
and and and wandering around Texas is all I would love to do.
46:58
I'm in Arizona, I'm in New Mexico.
47:01
I'm in Oklahoma. I'm in, I'm in Arkansas, Louise.
47:04
I'm all over the place instead of being in the.
47:06
Place everywhere but exactly where you're supposed to be.
47:10
It would have all been a distraction, but that's that's
47:13
why I asked you some of the things that I did and you know,
47:18
it's. And and wait a minute.
47:20
Glad you figured it out. And the last and the last
47:24
imagery of it is, is because I probably, you know, was saying
47:31
to myself, I would do this, this and this.
47:33
But I know enough, in fact, I know more than enough to take
47:38
care of her. Yeah.
47:40
Without all the other things that come along with the the
47:43
pomp and circumstances, the distractions and such.
47:46
Because I'm going to tell you something even and you hinted to
47:49
this, you become that then you're not really doing what
47:54
your what your education says that you're doing, right.
47:59
Because you won't be, you'll be chasing something else that you
48:02
weren't supposed to be chasing. And.
48:03
I, I, you're so right. You know, I, I've been talking
48:08
to my kids. I said, you know, I have taken
48:12
some different forks in my path that I think I wasn't destined
48:16
to go on. Some things wouldn't have
48:19
happened in life. Probably the car wreck wouldn't
48:21
have happened. I was supposed to go to
48:23
Washington, DC to Walter Reed after Desert Storm and no, I had
48:30
to fall in love and follow Amanda.
48:32
Fort Stewart, GA, who you know, ended up getting divorced from
48:38
him. I had two kids with him, but and
48:40
he passed away in July 2014. Then and I even before we got
48:47
divorced, I was supposed to go to England.
48:51
He didn't want to go. So I gave that assignment up and
48:54
ended up going to Germany. And that all turned out OK and
48:58
ended up getting married again, had two kids.
49:02
But if I hadn't done some of these other things, my life
49:06
could have looked totally different.
49:07
I probably wouldn't be dealing with the same issues I mean you
49:13
gotta look at. But I got back on this and said
49:17
Nope. Yeah.
49:19
You got to do this. You got to do this, OK, You
49:22
know, you got to. You got to put aside the worldly
49:25
thinking. Yes.
49:29
And I think that's the part that gets back to Joseph, that gets
49:33
that back to the lot of our brothers and sisters You got to
49:38
get out of your own way. What does God want you to do
49:43
right now and start doing it? You got to have that
49:46
conversation with God because if you are not in tune with him and
49:51
being like, you know, Jacob slash Israel and knowing that
49:57
you got to put the right hands. And it's not the worldly side
50:01
that said, well, worldly side says oldest is, you know, first
50:05
and the youngest is second or last or whatever.
50:10
He knew what was supposed to happen.
50:12
But we put these worldly thoughts that this is, well,
50:15
this is what this is what, you know, protocols say.
50:22
I mean, we've been talking about it with the Southern Baptist
50:25
Convention. And damned if I hadn't been
50:28
right that they're hinting about taking, you know, the woman's
50:34
right to vote away. But it's not only just that they
50:38
want it to be the household vote, one household vote.
50:42
I was watching this video I sent to the other day.
50:46
This guy is talking about my vote is less than because half
50:54
of it went to my wife and she's, she's supposed to be submissive,
50:59
so she has to vote the same way I do if she still gets the right
51:04
to vote at all. I mean, he felt like he was less
51:07
than because she had a seat at the table.
51:10
And I was like, OK, how about you both get a seat at the
51:13
table? Isn't that part of the you?
51:16
You know, I, I feel like we're leaning more towards the
51:20
conversation of going back to the ITE.
51:23
This is really the ITE thinking and well.
51:27
Even that's a book. That's a book.
51:30
We got to write that book. It's the ITE thinking it it is.
51:34
And once again, we are no different than those people that
51:40
we, that we, that we talk about, that we read about, that we
51:43
present to the global audience here.
51:45
We're no different than them. We may be a little more refined
51:48
and cultured deep down inside. We're those people too.
51:53
I just think this is scary. It's very frightening.
51:57
I I don't like using that word. Scary it.
52:00
Is very frightening even. These are the times we live in
52:03
and they're going to get worse. It's like, really, what kool-aid
52:09
are they drinking? If this is the same stuff that
52:14
we are complaining about that's happening over in the Middle
52:19
East and women covering, I mean, is that the next thing, oh,
52:24
women, you've got to start covering.
52:25
Everybody's got to be covered. You, you, you made me start
52:30
laughing. My, my, my, my, my, my mother
52:36
would would when she make a jug of kool-aid, she mark it because
52:39
of the condensation. She marked the kool-aid right.
52:41
But you're a child, you oblivious to that.
52:44
And so one day my dad came. He said who drank?
52:46
He's from Arkansas. Who drinking out the Kool.
52:53
I immediately went in my room. I I wasn't giving up any Intel,
52:57
right? It was me who rang out the
52:59
kool-aid, right? You know?
53:01
Yeah, not outside. Pop.
53:05
And back there, it's sweltering, right?
53:07
So, you know, the things that are occurring in the in in the
53:10
world now, you know, the bombing, it's all scriptural.
53:17
It's all been laid out to a blueprint wise, right.
53:20
There's nothing new that we're hearing.
53:23
It's just we're experiencing it because we're just it's this
53:26
time in our lives that we have access to information.
53:31
We have visuals to imagery and such.
53:35
So, you know, and Eva, it's not going to get any better.
53:39
We just got to keep praying. The Saints have to keep praying.
53:44
For sure something came to me though, that, you know, there is
53:51
the moral injury that is happening.
53:55
You know, we've served in war and we knew what we were
54:01
fighting for then. At least I thought we did in
54:05
Desert Storm. It was very short war, right?
54:08
But the other wars that have happened since then that are
54:12
happening now, there is new moral injury and trauma that is
54:20
happening to those who have served and say, OK, hold on,
54:24
wait a minute, What is this new war about?
54:27
Because I thought we'd already fought that.
54:30
Or, you know, it, it, it, it, you know, So radio shows like
54:37
this, The Revivalists, actually become way more relevant.
54:42
Military broadcast radio becomes way more relevant because we are
54:46
giving veterans a voice. We are trying to help, you know,
54:52
help bridge the the concept of what has happened in history,
54:58
what is happening in the present.
55:00
How do we make sense of it? We find that discernment to
55:04
understand that our service hasn't been for nothing and.
55:13
Yes, yes, you. Wait a minute, wait a minute.
55:16
One more thing. This is important because you
55:18
made me to Trump or Doge or both.
55:24
They disbanded NPR, right? Right.
55:30
Well, but they were pretty biased.
55:33
Let's be. Real.
55:33
OK, OK, so NPR is on hold somewhere, and so is the voice
55:41
of democracy, I believe. And so guess who MBR can become?
55:46
We can become all of that. People have to buy into it,
55:51
right, because everybody on this platform has something relevant
55:55
to say. Yes.
55:58
Why can't we take the same format or grader and take it to
56:02
the globe? I'm just.
56:05
Yeah, just saying, I know I get it.
56:07
But we need more broadcasters to be able to do that, too, because
56:12
I don't have the extra bandwidth to do that until I retire.
56:16
Whenever God says, yeah, it's a good time to retire, then I
56:20
could take that on. I don't have that bandwidth
56:23
right now. I think we lost you both audio
56:29
and video. Now, your video has been out for
56:33
a while, Daryl, but now we don't have your audio either.
56:39
He's in a brownout, folks. Then unfortunately, this is kind
56:42
of what happens sometimes. It's summer in Texas and
56:46
brownouts happen. I've been very fortunate not
56:50
having brownouts happen here, but we are at almost 57 minutes,
56:55
yet we lost him entirely. So I'm going to go ahead and
56:58
lead us into prayer. So if you'll all join me, thank
57:02
you, dear Heavenly Father, for bringing us all together and
57:06
having shows like this with military broadcast radio.
57:10
That you give us knowledge, that you give us insight into your
57:17
word, that you give us the ability to make the connection
57:23
between the scripture that was written years and years and
57:28
years ago and making it relevant for our brothers and sister.
57:33
Now sisters, now this is just thank you for the ability for us
57:38
to be able to share our experiences and that we are, you
57:46
know, we are making that connection for folks with the
57:52
moral injury, healing and recovery side and we pray that
57:57
they receive it the way it's intended and our candid
58:02
conversations. You know, Eva, we we just live
58:06
in a time that. Really.
58:09
We really have to put our faith, hope and love in action.
58:13
And because of that, God will go forward.
58:17
It's just as the apostles, just all the disciples, just all of
58:21
the people who who really rallied around in faith
58:24
throughout the centuries, we have to do likewise.
58:27
And no matter what the cost will be because our lives, for those
58:31
of us who profess our faith in Christ Jesus, our lives are on
58:35
the line because there are people who don't believe what we
58:38
believe. They don't love us the way we
58:40
love the Lord our God. He's called something else to
58:42
them. So, and although NPR is on pause
58:46
somewhere and the voice of democracy is on pause somewhere,
58:49
we don't have to be on pause because we actually have a
58:52
platform. You know, we don't have the
58:54
bandwidth to do 12 shows a day, but we, we maybe we have to
58:58
extend our time if we can. One day.
59:00
We we don't know this, but God will provide those opportunities
59:04
and he will provide the answers to our questions regarding.
59:07
Well, just remember, if you like shows like this, like and
