David Fiorazo: Ministry Update And Great Conferences Coming Up! · Worldview Matters With David Fiorazo

• 0:00
  Welcome to World View Matters, discussing controversial issues, discerning current events,
• 0:10
  defending biblical Christianity, no topic, off limits.
• 0:16
  And now, here's your host, David Fierazzo.
• 0:19
  Hello, friends, family and Christ, thank you so much for tuning in.
• 0:24
  Today, we're going to hopefully get to some recent news stories and then a very important
• 0:27
  topic that I've been meaning to talk about for a while, and one of the reasons I haven't
• 0:33
  is I've been censored, surprise, surprise, on YouTube or social media on this particular topic,
• 0:40
  but I'll just leave you hanging for a few minutes. So let's start with what's happening locally here.
• 0:46
  By the way, I was just told that we are still averaging at World View Matters a half a million
• 0:53
  downloads, podcasts downloads per month, per month, and we're excited to say, I think within
• 0:59
  about a month or so, roughly, we're going to have episode 500. So our 500th episode, which is
• 1:07
  astounding to me. Anyway, thank you for coming along for the ride, and thank you for supporting us,
• 1:12
  and as God is driving this and leading this thing, just praise him. Thank you, Jesus.
• 1:18
  So I want to mention a local conference is coming up February 28th. That's just in a few weeks.
• 1:23
  It's the Men of Iron Conference. We really need men in the area to go Green Bay,
• 1:28
  Northeast Wisconsin to check this out. So the website is men of ironconference.org,
• 1:35
  men of ironconference.org. You can register there. Their purpose is to equip men with biblical truth
• 1:43
  to stand in these last days. And boy, that's, that's my heart as well. Pastor David Roth,
• 1:50
  my pastor at one way Christian church, Green Bay, Wisconsin is hosting it. One of the speakers
• 1:56
  Pastor Matt Trewella. You may know him from missionaries to the pre-born and defy tyrants.
• 2:04
  So Pastor Matt Trewella also coach Dave Dobinmeyer. Most people know him just as coach Dave. He's a
• 2:10
  speaker and the founder of Pass the Salt. So this, again, is going to be in just a few weeks,
• 2:15
  February 28th between eight and four, just for men. And it's at one way Christian church in
• 2:21
  Green Bay. And again, the website men of ironconference.org. We'll be mentioning that just to make
• 2:28
  sure the men in the area are aware of it. A lot of people maybe are not aware. So now I want to
• 2:34
  mention before I give you a personal ministry update, let's talk about world view matters and our
• 2:41
  conference coming up because it's we're holding it at a hotel. And again, friends, the dates are
• 2:48
  May 1st and 2nd. If you're brand new to the podcast, you haven't heard or seen the video yet,
• 2:53
  the promo. We've got radio ads going on the family radio network in regionally,
• 3:00
  primarily in Wisconsin and online. But we're holding it at a hotel. Why?
• 3:06
  First of all, our church wasn't big enough. But second of all, some of the biggest churches,
• 3:12
  I think you can probably say this in most places around the country, sadly. Some of the biggest
• 3:18
  churches are more seeker sensitive and not tolerant of the true biblical world view. In other words,
• 3:27
  Christians that believe in not God as creator, that's pretty much any central of the faith.
• 3:35
  But male, female, they don't want to talk about gender issues. They don't want to talk about abortion
• 3:39
  because their congregations are maybe divided on abortion. That's right. On the murder of a pre-born
• 3:46
  baby human being in a mother's womb, that's right. Even the church is divided. We'll talk about that
• 3:51
  in just a few minutes and beliefs of the church. But we're holding it at a hotel
• 3:56
  so that churches would be okay with sharing it, trying to get pastors, trying to get churches
• 4:03
  to understand. This is important. We want you to check this conference out
• 4:09
  because a lot of churches are in our, they align with our biblical world view. And they may not
• 4:16
  promote it if it was held at another church. Does that make sense? Unfortunately, there's a
• 4:20
  competition factor. Churches can be kind of clicky sometimes. So the hotel is a neutral place
• 4:29
  where any, most churches that adhere to the biblical world view can say, yeah, we would tell
• 4:36
  our congregation to check this out. So please tell your pastor and please tell your church about
• 4:41
  the world view matters conference. That's number one. Number two, we just updated, we just started
• 4:48
  working on the sponsors for the conference. And I just want to mention the sponsors. By the way,
• 4:52
  the website is worldviewmattersconference.com. That's worldviewmattersconference.com. I want to thank
• 5:01
  the sponsors so far. We're now going to be approaching many, many more businesses, Christian
• 5:08
  businesses and ministries who would partner with us or that they also believe in the true biblical
• 5:14
  world view starting with freedom project academy, freedom project media. That's who hosts this
• 5:20
  podcast worldviewmatters and produces this podcast. FPEUSA.org is the website. But I just want to go
• 5:29
  or freedomproject.com. But I also want to mention Harbinger's Daily. They've been on board since the
• 5:34
  beginning. Praise God for Harbinger's Daily and Harbinger's.tv. Also lighthouse Christian books,
• 5:43
  Christian store that's in green bay, the family radio network. I want to thank legacy church.
• 5:50
  We just had pastor Steve Smotherman on recently. What a straight talking bold man of faith
• 5:55
  and a great leader. Now he has a mega church. I don't know how he does. I always joke about that
• 6:00
  with him. Say howdy, the way you're bold on every one of these issues and you've got a huge
• 6:05
  church. In other words, he doesn't care about offending people. Maybe a lot of people are attracted
• 6:09
  to that now. They didn't used to be. But legacy church is huge. They're sponsoring. They're in
• 6:14
  New Mexico. Hello. Hello. New Mexico. So I and of course one way Christian church in green bay
• 6:23
  Wisconsin. So I would love for you or if you have a ministry or your church, if your church is
• 6:31
  interested in sponsoring the conference, yes, we need help. So this is a big undertaking and we'll
• 6:37
  take all the help we can get. Go to worldviewmattersconference.com, click on sponsors. It's up at the top,
• 6:45
  click on sponsors and there's a page with information, different levels of sponsorship and what we
• 6:51
  will give you, what you give to us. So now I also want to mention Scott Sharers organization, our
• 6:58
  amazing grace. Thank you, Scott, Verlo mattress and green bay Wisconsin there. They got on board.
• 7:04
  They're a sponsor. NC LED lighting. NC LED lighting. Praise God. They're also a sponsor. American
• 7:13
  antiques and jewelry. Liberty Sentinel. Thank you, Alex Newman. Alex Newman is one of the speakers,
• 7:18
  of course. Liberty Sentinel is partnering with us and did I'm okay one more and that is his
• 7:26
  sword ministries. That's the latest his sword ministries. I think they may be based in Florida,
• 7:31
  but they're also in Wisconsin back and forth. So praise God. Thank you Todd, his sword ministries.
• 7:37
  So I think I mentioned all the sponsors. I just wanted to do that. We're going to do this from time
• 7:41
  to time just to give them a little shout out and of course we want to make sure they are blessed
• 7:45
  because they are blessing us by sponsoring the worldviewmatters conference. So we'll play the
• 7:52
  the conference promo about halfway through the podcast but I just wanted to update you on where we are
• 7:57
  and say one more thing. It's right now we just started advertising a couple of weeks ago. We're
• 8:04
  over a third sold as far as ticket sold and it's not a huge conference center at the Delta hotel
• 8:13
  in Green Bay. So I just want to give you a heads up if you're thinking boy we would love to go.
• 8:18
  I'm thinking I might do that. I'd encourage you to make that decision sooner rather than later.
• 8:24
  Now we've got two months or more to talk about it. We're going to be promoting it like crazy on
• 8:28
  social media where we're not banned your sensor shadow band squelched suppressed. It's fun. Isn't it
• 8:35
  being a Bible believing Christian in this day and age? The intolerance out there. So there you go.
• 8:42
  Worldviewmattersconference.com. Now I do want to before I get to some articles I wanted to talk
• 8:49
  today and and very touch on because we're going to talk about several different topics and one
• 8:54
  of them is Islam and we'll start with the church in a minute and beliefs in what what Christians
• 9:03
  in America believe. But I just wanted to open up my heart briefly and just share what's going
• 9:09
  on personally with my wife Rosanna and I as you know I'm her full-time caregiver you're going
• 9:16
  well how do you do a podcast and do all that I come into the studio here once a week once a week
• 9:24
  I come into the studio today we're recording five five podcasts in one day yes you know it's
• 9:30
  it's a lot of prep but I can do that from home. So if those of you that are newer listeners or
• 9:36
  viewers my wife took the I can't say the actual thing or we'll get censored I like what John
• 9:45
  Haller calls it Charlie Vector David one-niner CVD19 yeah I think you know what that means CVD19 he
• 9:55
  was Charlie Vector David one-niner but she took what I will call it the government recommended
• 10:04
  and the the big hospitals and the big pharma recommended solution to the problem we had worldwide
• 10:12
  about six years ago okay so I didn't take it but my wife did why because she wanted to go visit her
• 10:20
  family she grew up in Toronto Canada so she's from Toronto and she wanted to visit her family she
• 10:26
  could not get across the border unless she took this recommended solution to this
• 10:34
  the Scandinemic I can say that all right we'll probably get cancelled just for that one word
• 10:38
  but okay so she she did that and within weeks after that she started experiencing neurological
• 10:45
  issues and memory loss and confusion some might call it a brain injury and it has progressed or maybe
• 10:53
  progressed isn't the right word maybe it's she has regressed declined cognitively and we went
• 11:00
  through all kinds of tests oh my goodness and I had horrible insurance back then too but anyway
• 11:09
  we went through all that we went through detoxes we got her blood check we found you know we saw
• 11:14
  these little particles in her blood so we tried to do a blood cleanse we tried to change her diet
• 11:19
  we were on supplements vitamins and her medication that she was taking and it got to be too much
• 11:24
  this was about four years ago and she got so sick after doing all this her her stomach because she
• 11:31
  was taking medication in the morning then she takes supplements then we were trying to change her
• 11:35
  diet and then she was supposed to take these things to detox her system between meals without food
• 11:42
  and I think that's what got her that's what made her sick one of them was natto kinase a lot of
• 11:46
  people take that and there were others nac and others but we still take some things but anyway so
• 11:53
  she has declined through the years it wasn't long before she couldn't drive the early signs were
• 11:59
  she would look at a grocery list and she would be staring at it with a confused look on her face
• 12:04
  she couldn't couldn't figure out the list then she would look at the calendar whatever month that was
• 12:10
  um September was it 2021 anyway she would look at the calendar and just just kind of stare and figure
• 12:17
  out so fast forward to today um she needs help with absolutely everything she might be eating a
• 12:25
  thing of yogurt I said it in her hand I get her food for her and sometimes after put the spoon
• 12:32
  in her hand and actually lift it up and get her started then she'll remember so it's a lot of
• 12:36
  connection with from her brain to her body and limbs and things she used to be able to do
• 12:42
  muscle memory I guess a lot of things she doesn't remember till I get her started so
• 12:46
  that's one thing um everything else she really needs help with everything and I mean everything you
• 12:52
  know bathroom and um so we have had a lot of prayers we have a lot of support and we've got
• 12:59
  a page for her if you're not familiar with it on Facebook called Rosanna's journey
• 13:03
  it's Rosanna's journey it's a private group but 3,000 people are in it but I wanted to share this
• 13:10
  I'm thankful for it when people send us gift cards for meals and people still deliver meals
• 13:16
  every now and then it's just such a blessing but I wanted to share this one of the most recent
• 13:20
  posts that I did I did an update on February 4 I'm gonna do another one uh in the next couple days
• 13:26
  so there's 3,000 people in that group on Rosanna's journey that's the page that we started to
• 13:31
  share about my wife's experiences and her decline in the cognitive issues um and I shared an update
• 13:38
  and 245 people liked it um gave a or commented less than that actually 245 so out of 3,000 so even
• 13:51
  on a group page where there's that many people that want to follow you they want to hear your
• 13:56
  or see your updates and they sign up to follow and see the updates but they're not making it in
• 14:01
  people's news feeds I don't think as far as that page goes now me personally my ministry page has
• 14:07
  been suppressed and sometimes censored shadow band is the word on Facebook but in this private
• 14:13
  group of Rosanna's journey on that page I don't think they're censoring I just think there's
• 14:18
  so much activity so much going on to keep up with on Facebook and it can only make it so far
• 14:24
  so I would love for you to go check that out if you want to keep up with the most recent updates I
• 14:28
  try to do that every couple weeks but um we are now going to be looking at in-home help because I have
• 14:36
  I have a questionable knee and if that's some low back pain and I do a lot of bending over and doing
• 14:41
  stuff all over the house you know cleaning everything else so um by the way thank you Tim for getting
• 14:48
  me that very very nice professional back brace that I put on belt brace whatever you want to call it
• 14:54
  support um so we're trying to work with a private home care agency now and get home in home care
• 15:02
  maybe four days a week for just three four hours at a time I'm starting to plan that work on
• 15:07
  that because I recognize that's a need it's there are times where I get completely worn out but all
• 15:12
  that to say look what we're doing here this podcast has been going for almost four years I think
• 15:17
  three and a half maybe and look at oh what was that number again I have a million downloads that's
• 15:22
  just audio on world view matters I have a million downloads a month so I am praising God I hope to do
• 15:29
  this as long as I can as long as we have an audience as long as God keeps being glorified and hopefully
• 15:34
  we are talking about issues and and subjects that you guys care about that are beneficial to the
• 15:40
  body of Christ so there's a lot more about our personal journey if you want to check that out on
• 15:46
  the the group page there on Facebook Rosanna's journey because it has been kind of like the
• 15:53
  roller coaster ride and it's been a the work kind of in a trial of wilderness but this is the way
• 15:58
  it is we're trusting God she can't read anymore she can't operate her iPhone anymore but I can talk
• 16:04
  to her she can kind of pray a little bit she can still sing songs but forgets the lyrics so she
• 16:09
  hums to like worship songs a lot so she used to be a worship leader for those that don't know she
• 16:15
  has two CDs out so I just wanted to give you a personal update now we got to take a brief pause I
• 16:21
  want you to see the world view matters promo video and then I've got a handful of articles and we're
• 16:26
  just going to touch on these because I took so much time updating you on everything locally and with
• 16:31
  the conference and personally so thank you for your patience and we'll be right back on world view
• 16:35
  matters register now for the world view matters conference may first and second in green Bay
• 16:42
  Wisconsin expert speakers include Alex Newman Brianna Clawson Olivier Melnick
• 16:49
  Tim Chaffee Mark and Amber Archer Laura Perry Smalls Jake Jacobs Jay Seagard Gary Caw Scott
• 16:59
  Shara and Elijah Abraham Delta Hotel Green Bay may first and second go to worldviewmattersconference.com
• 17:09
  that's worldviewmattersconference.com okay friends let's talk about the church first and I have
• 17:16
  had Dr. George Barna on this podcast I've had Adam Rasmussen on from the cultural research center
• 17:22
  at Arizona Christian University and they do some amazing work but I want to go back and touch on
• 17:30
  this study that came out at the end of last year toward the end of last year and the headline is
• 17:36
  faith without understanding majority of us Christians believe good works contribute to salvation
• 17:47
  a majority of Christians believe good works contribute to salvation now this was a
• 17:54
  Barna study and Christian research center cultural research center I want to emphasize something
• 18:02
  I I understand that the average American or the average human being in other religions I mean
• 18:09
  most other religions you have to do something to get God's approval or to get it get to another
• 18:14
  level of consciousness or spirituality you have to do do do do do do what does Christianity say
• 18:21
  done done Jesus said it is finished the work was completed on the cross we don't have to do
• 18:29
  anything but believe accept his sacrifice repent of your sins confess your sins to God and believe
• 18:38
  and you will be saved now it sounds simple but then if your conversion is authentic then you will
• 18:47
  see your life change then you will see fruit of the Holy Spirit love joy peace patience kindness
• 18:54
  goodness faithfulness gentleness self control you'll see good what you'll do good works because
• 18:59
  you're authentically saved by God thankful that you have a hope that the most of the world doesn't
• 19:06
  understand you don't have to work for it Jesus did it for us so this is an interesting study that
• 19:13
  it says a majority of us Christians believe good works contribute to salvation so the survey found
• 19:23
  84% of adults now including 95% of self professed Christians here's another thing from the study
• 19:32
  believe there is such a thing as sin so that's a good thing okay most Christians believe you know
• 19:38
  there is sin in the world millions of Americans do not believe their sinfulness will and get them
• 19:45
  sent to hell in other words they don't think they'll be punished for their sins that's millions okay
• 19:51
  so there's just some of these one of the thing out of those who say their Christian
• 19:58
  three out of four 77% say they will enjoy heaven three out of four but again back to that original
• 20:06
  one more a majority of Christians think they have to work for it so there's some confusion
• 20:11
  isn't there I just wanted to emphasize that our good friend JB Hickson is going to be back on with
• 20:16
  this in in a little bit a few weeks his ministry not by works we are saved by the grace of God
• 20:24
  through faith and it's only Jesus by Christ alone right so we need to be better students of
• 20:32
  Scripture and we need to be able to understand understand this and then explain it to people
• 20:37
  because I understand that you're the thinking yeah we have to be better we have to work harder
• 20:44
  I think that's just a human thing we're just human beings we think we need to do that but
• 20:48
  that's God's mercy and grace isn't it isn't it it's amazing to me so the good thing about that
• 20:56
  for people that are far from God rebelling or they're just living their own there's still hope for
• 21:01
  that person as long as they're alive right but then there's two different destinations so I
• 21:06
  just wanted to share that one with you and then I want to go to a couple other briefly
• 21:13
  okay let's talk about this recent court case and I'm sorry I'm jumping around here a little bit
• 21:17
  but we're gonna run out of time quick New York a New York jury awards a detransitioner in other words
• 21:23
  someone who was convinced that they were transgender then all that they realized no I guess I'm not
• 21:28
  I was lied to a New York jury awarded this awarded this detransistor two million dollars
• 21:35
  and it's now a historic malpractice trial so this is going to send signals to a lot of other
• 21:42
  court cases it could uh I don't know that it's going to set set a precedent but it was a civil
• 21:48
  jury and awarded this person two million in damages one point six million for past and future
• 21:55
  suffering and four hundred thousand for future medical expenses from all the physical and the
• 22:02
  cosmetic surgery and all the mutilation it's just so sad that we got here right in America it's so
• 22:08
  sad now I need to jump to another article quickly to understand where we're at as far as the value
• 22:13
  of human life assisted suicide comes to the heartland this came out at the very end of last year
• 22:19
  and this article came out because Illinois governor JB Pritzker signed a bill into law at that time
• 22:25
  that made his state the 13th jurisdiction in the nation that that allows assisted suicide
• 22:35
  it's already lawful in 11 other states and the District of Columbia Washington DC now Illinois
• 22:42
  Pritzker signed that so this permits a physician a doctor who was supposed to do no harm right
• 22:50
  but it permits a doctor to assist someone to kill themselves
• 22:55
  and this is also referred to as made MAID that's what they call it in Canada
• 23:00
  MAID is medical assistance in dying so the United States now has its first heartland state
• 23:08
  meaning middle of the country kind of Illinois even though Illinois has always been blue and lefty
• 23:13
  but you know the West Coast we can understand the East Coast New York and other states
• 23:18
  Vermont everything Massachusetts we can understand but now Illinois so this is an interesting
• 23:23
  development okay because the value of human life we know the abortion has been a battle
• 23:28
  but I think we have not really paid attention to euthanasia and assisted suicide it's still
• 23:35
  man taking control of her life and death when God should have the say over life and death now
• 23:41
  okay this is a couple other things I wanted to get to and this is Islam I'm sorry guys we're
• 23:45
  down to four minutes but there's two articles I'm just going to direct you to Virgil Walker puts out
• 23:50
  some great stuff you can look him out on Facebook you can look him up on sub-stack but one of these
• 23:56
  articles is the quiet conquest Islam's advance and the collapse of a sleeping church now this came
• 24:05
  out last November I've held on to this for a while why because one time we were censored with one
• 24:12
  of the guests we've had on world view matters YouTube actually deleted the program with with no
• 24:17
  the podcast no warning so this is a sensitive topic but nonetheless there's some truth tellers
• 24:23
  out there that I want to make sure you understand what's going on because this there's a lot of lies
• 24:29
  and Islam is not peaceful the name Islam means submission if you look at the life of Muhammad
• 24:35
  he was a violent warrior he believed in conquest he believed in military campaigns pretty much
• 24:41
  violent campaigns to take over territory and what they're doing in America not they're not
• 24:47
  assimilating interesting word now we keep coming back to the the our desire that people would come
• 24:53
  to America freely it's a free country but assimilate come legally migrate here immigrants can
• 24:59
  come here anybody can come here but if you don't want to adopt our constitution our laws
• 25:07
  you don't have to be a Christian although we hope to have more say in that in the church be more
• 25:12
  influential but I just want to direct you to this there's so many great points and he
• 25:18
  Virgil Walker goes into history about when a nation becomes Muslim and he shares all these things
• 25:25
  that happen and some societies decay freedoms are eliminated women are treated horribly so there's
• 25:33
  and there's a lot of scripture he shares from the surah and the Quran about what Muhammad says about
• 25:41
  violence about justifying violence for their means to advance Islam so we have to have a better
• 25:48
  understanding of this friends and he said you cannot reconcile the irreconcilable so that's one
• 25:55
  we have a blind spot here in America in the church out of the desire to be compassionate which is
• 26:02
  not a bad thing and the desire to be tolerant which is not a bad thing we have allowed or affirmed
• 26:08
  things that we should never allow or approve of in this country and that's all I'll say right now
• 26:16
  with without going into too much but look up Virgil Walker he does great work and a lot of people
• 26:21
  do on this topic one other one I want to point point you to and we're out of time but I want to
• 26:26
  point you to this one it's called the rise of political Islam in America what Christians
