It's only in the storm that your faith can grow. It's only when your faith is tested by fire that you really know how pure your faith is. It's only when you are tested that your character can develop. Only in the storm can you discover the power of God to deliver you. Only in the storm do you call upon the Lord and find him to be the ever present help in the time of trouble. The storm develops your confidence and as your confidence is, so is your capacity. God has you fighting the fight you're fighting now because it's a fight designed to develop your confidence. And when you win this one, the next one will be a little bigger and you'll have the confidence because of your past victory. And when you win that one, you'll win the next one and the next one and the next one. Because God is transforming you into a lion of God. He's waiting for persistence to overcome resistance. He's trying to develop in you the character of endurance. For those who endure to the end, the same shall be saved. God put you through a struggle to develop you into who you're going to be in the kingdom of God. God used no one in the Bible until he put them through the university of adversity before he allowed them to be a leader. And in the kingdom of God you will have your adversity. You will reach the other side. But God is going to make a champion of grace out of every one of you. Listen to me. When you focus on the threat, you will experience fear. When you focus on Jesus, you will experience faith. When you stronger. When you go through adversity, think about the possibility that God is using your struggle and your adversity. Every opportunity has difficulty and every difficulty has opportunity. It's only when you come to grips with a difficulty that you will realize your potential. Stop looking at your circumstance and start looking at your opportunity. The things you trust in today will fail you tomorrow. People will fail you. Where do you go when the storms of life are greater than what you can endure? When the storms are great, when the winds and the waves are crushing you, Dreams where you go. You go to the one whom winds and waves obey. His name is Jesus. He is the rock. He is the Savior. What's up pimps, players and hoes Russell Johnson and Jonathan Shuttlesworth here live in the greater Cincinnati area, the most spread out city I've Ever seen in my life. The Cincinnati airport is in Kentucky. That's not a joke. So I don't know who laid this place out, but you did a terrible job. Helen Keller. That's what it looks like. We are live. Great to see everybody today. We good to see on X. Good to see on YouTube. Good to see people still inexplicably watching on Facebook, refusing using. I'm surprised you're not still in MySpace. And then the Revival Today app. Great to see everybody. Today's gonna be an awesome day. I'm gonna be with my friend here at Grace Church of the Valley in Indiana. Name of the town, Greendale, the greater Cincinnati area. Tonight, seven o'. Clock. And I'm gonna have Pastor Russell go first and I'm gonna go second. We're gonna have a blowout night. So if you're anywhere in Kentucky, Ohio or Indiana, get there. And now let's check the news, guys. I'm at Dollarama and just found the weirdest toy I've ever seen in my life. Look at this. What is going on here? Toilet hockey literally shows a guy on the toilet stick handling. Who does he play against himself? Is someone else playing against him on another toilet in the bathroom? This has got to be the craziest cover for any game ever. Like, what is going on here? I think I need to buy one of these guys because I spend a lot of time on the toilet. Next. Can't be getting hemorrhoids, though. Memphis rap Legend Project Pat leads 10,000 in repentance prayer turning. Most dangerous city in the city of hope is this guy. I've never heard. I guess I'm out of the rap game. I've never heard of this guy. Have you heard of him? And then what happened this recent? Like two, three years ago, he started going to prison. Wow, that is awesome. Take a look, everybody. Jesus, forgive me of my sins. I believe. I believe that Jesus Christ not getting killed and went to hell in my place. If somebody told me right now, this is the state, somebody right now tell me Rwanda. Give me the grace, the strength, the strength to want to do and obey your perfect will and open my understanding to who you, you truly are, who you truly are and where you want me to be in this life. And Father grace my interest to be interested in your things. You can tell he's put your kingdom first in my life. In Jesus name, Amen. Now, if you prayed that prayer, raise your hand. That's why it's like a mass crusade. When I say nine, oh, you say, did you See, a papa roach apparently just got saved. No. Yeah, I just saw that. Is anybody. It's so uncool to not be saved now if you're not. If you haven't become a born again Christian yet. Just like you're still wearing stonewashed jeans. Tight rolled. Next. Oh, what's this? What? Pause. Fans at Yankee Stadium boo the Canadian national anthem. This was therapeutic. Play it again. Turn it up a little. The Bronx. Almost time to revisit the French and Indian War. Next. Pause. This is the president of Haiti. They had a pitcher of water for him while he was giving the speech and instead of pouring it into a cup or having someone pour it into a cup, just grabbed the pitcher like he was at pizza hut in 1989 and downed it. Take it away, Mr. President. You know, it's like we're going to play it again and watch the weight shift on the water when he goes to Tibet because it's like quite a bit of water, you know, probably half a gallon. And the weight shifted and it almost dumped out of his hand plate again. What an idiot. Not only are you terrible at running a nation, you also are terrible at drinking water. They got the elevators fixed yet at the UN or still broken. If I had the choice between being the president of Haiti or the assistant manager at Kinkos, I don't even know if those still exist. I would take that any day of the week. Anything but that. Good luck with that nation. How is the Dominican Republic and Haiti on the same island? If I was Haiti, I would just say, you know what, we gave it a whirl. It didn't work. We are now the Dominican Republic. They should allow like Chuck E. Cheese to buy it like the whole nation and then have the rat run it. Can I talk to chatgpt? I can't talk to chatgpt here. Right? I can talk to it here. If me and my friend Russell Johnson wanted to buy the nation of Haiti, realistically, seeing as what terrible condition it's in, how much would they charge us to buy? How much do you think we could buy the whole nation for? Start talking. I did. Hello, Guess. Guess. We're down a weapon in the broadcast today. Next. There's four churches that I recommend now. I'll be Saturday, 10 o' clock in Arizona. Saturday at 6pm I'll see you in Los Angeles. Sunday at 8 and 10 in Pittsburgh. I'll be there as well. In Fort Worth, 9am I will see on the screen. After an awesome week, what else was I going to tell you? Another good church A fifth church is Pursuit Church Northwest in the Seattle area. You got Kirkland, Snohomish and Seattle proper. There's all your times and you can watch them on Fox Q13 at 7am Pacific Time. Great. Pastor Russell Johnson. So there you go. Place in the appropriate. In the appropriate north. What did I read? Oh, reading comments in the Pacific Northwest. Next movie going to be called. I know what it's going to be called. Yeah, what's that? This is one of the funniest talk show moments in world history. Courtney Thorne Smith is promoting a movie she's on with Carrot Top. No, comedians respect Carrot Top. And so he's making fun of her movie while she's sitting there to promote it. And it's just, it's great. It's the most. You don't see a lot of genuine laughs ever in life, especially on tv. It's all fake laugh. But watch Norm get Conan at the end. Play it from the beginning. What's the movie gonna be called? Really? I know what it's gonna be called. Yeah, what's that? If it's got Carrot Top in it, you know what a good name for it would be? What's that? Norm Box Office Poison in there too. She's in it. Thanks for watching. CH Check the news. We'll be right back after these messages. The US Electric grid is approaching a breaking point.

Welcome back to Check the News. You okay? Next. I always told people I met Michael Jackson, but now I found this picture. Who the hell is this Michael Jackson? Next. Oh, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. I'll also be there October 27th to the 31st Power Chapel, 216 Luther Drive. Broken. It's just Luther, not Martin Luther King Jr. So I guess it's. You can kind of. You can come to a stop, a full stop at a red light. Broken arrow, Oklahoma. 74012 Monday to Friday, 7pm where are you going to be? You're in Connecticut. This Friday, New Milford, Connecticut. And where after that? King's Chapel in Maui. Oh, yeah. And then after next week. Yeah, I leave Sunday night. You lucky son of a gun. Going by yourself or taking the fam? My first wife's trying to come with me on that trip. Maria's coming? Yeah. Good. Congratulations, man. Next. Oh, pause. Whenever I do something embarrassing, I come back to this. This guy's going to prop to his girlfriend at the mall. And it goes even worse than expected. Continue. Hi. Hello. Sorry to stop your shopping and your evening. Hello. I just have a very special message for a very special girl. This is where we met three months ago. There are people looking. This is where we first saw each other. And this is where I fell in love with you. And. And you're my absolute John. And you had me that day at hello, when you said hello to me. I mean, after I said hello. Anyway. You're my Janu. You're my sweetie pie. You're my cutie pie. You're my absolute j. It gets worse. You Janu. You're my sweetie pie. You're my cutie pie. You're my shonu. You're my everything. And I know you find this cheesy, but I want everyone to know you make me really happy. And I have a little poem for you, and I'd like everyone to hear this. When you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while. And my heart ceases to beat. And there's nothing else that I seek except you. And I just have one question for you. Wait. Gets worse. You truly make me the happiest person on Earth. It's a hard no. Are you okay? That's how every phone call with Microsoft tech support goes. Yeah, they were down a man that day. Next. What's up? This is Jonathan Shuttlesworth, and I have a real stirring in my spirit for this year's breakthrough in ministry. November 11th through the 14th. I see a major drought in leadership in the body of Christ. Obviously, not everywhere, but there are many organizations. The Methodist, the Presbyterians were people who started in those organizations. They no longer believe the Bible. They've shut their missions program down. If you're a minister and you feel directionless, you don't like the leadership that you're in. We are launching at our Breakthrough in Ministry, our new ministerial fellowship, which we will announce there. And we are believing for many churches, many pastors, many evangelists to come into what God's doing as we relaunch mass crusades and build strong churches all over the United States of America. I know there's many people listening to this right now that have a great call of God on your life, and you're looking for a direction and a flow to get in that will facilitate God's hand and get in like company of people that believe God and believe for the miraculous and signs and wonders and winning the lost. I want to see you this November 11th through the 14th in Arizona, not the worst place in the world to be. November 11th through the 14th. All of the information is on the screen. Four days of impartation to impact your generation. A great week that I believe is going to make an impact in your life and in your nation. Sign up today@rtcregister.com you November 11th through the 14th. What are your thoughts on, on, on what we're launching and all that? I mean, the, the time is right for something like this. I mean, there's a gap. There's definitely a vacuum in that, in that leadership space. People want to be a part of something that matters. Why do you say there's a gap or a vacuum in that space? Where are you seeing on the road, where you're at? Yeah, I, I think people have essentially found themselves, like, maybe like abandoned by the former networks that they've been in with people who are incapable of speaking to the moment that the church finds itself in. Like not every moment under heaven is created equal. And then this is a real unique moment for the harvest in America. And you still have some networks, leaders or denominations that are running like a operating system from 1995. That's a good way to, for a church that's in 2025. And so they're like, looking for like the sons of Issachar who know the times and the seasons. And so to me, that, that's, that's the biggest thing that I see. It's, it's just folks who've been there. It's like they're still playing Tecmo bowl on Super Nintendo. And it's like we're, we're in the PS5 world. You got to have people who can speak contextually to the season that we're in the open window. And, man, I think that ministerial network is going to pop off. I do too. So we'd love to have you. And I didn't know that Bishop Dagg was going to be there, so I was already excited. Now I'm extra excited. November 11th through the 14th revival today, global Pursuit, and it's free to attend. Glendale, Arizona. That's right by. It's actually in the same complex where they had the Charlie Kirk Memorial, Dagawood Mills, Russell Johnson, myself and Adalus. It's going to be great. November 11th through the 14th. I hope you're there. I would not miss that one. Next three arrested after a youth baseball coach shot while saying pregame prayer on Texas Ball field. You remember that? Can we dig the video up on that? There was a guy with a Little League and they were saying prayer before they started practice. And he got shot. And it wasn't one shot. There were shots rattling off. So he got shot, protected the players with his body even after he got shot, and then hurried him off the field. So I remember when they broke the story, they said that these guys were just doing target shooting 800 yards away. Or something and a bullet got loose. But then apparently they realized that narrative was full of crap after they've been arrested for deadly conduct, which how anybody did that other story. And you see that the guy in the middle has a much greater commitment to going to a barber than the guy on the left. The dude in the middle is giving me, like, ISIS training camp vibes. Yeah. And then do you have more. Do you have the other slide where it says their names or. No, they're all like, jihadist names. So they saw people praying in Texas and shot them. Next bro had more sins to be cleansed. This is insane. This is not a joke. This really happened. Watch this. Baptism. Pause. We're going to start from the beginning. Before we do, your church needs a breakthrough. If they're doing baptisms and they smell, I think that's meant to, like, wash an infant in, not to have three grown men. You're labradoodle. Yeah. You need to. You need a prosperity breakthrough from the beginning. Ah, they holding them up. I mean, that's attempted murder at that point. They're waterboarding that dude. He was struggling at the end. They got masks on anybody now. I just want to tell you, you know, what's in the past is in the past, but if you're a pastor and you ever did a baptism wearing a mask, you're probably going to go to hell. From the beginning. Pause. And I don't want to keep bringing it up, but you are such an idiot. If you ever think back on all the churches that did water baptisms wearing a mask in a pool, like at somebody's house. Like, do you have any understanding? You were so afraid of, like, getting any publicity? Yes, we're doing baptisms, but we're taking all precautions wearing a mask. Do you know how unhealthy it is to wear a cloth over your face while being submerged? What's even better? Waterboarding? What's even better than that is the people who just baptize themselves over zoom in their own bathtub. That's like the only stuff step below this. Oh, my God. The. The lengths people are willing to go to to not get on the local news. I'm like, that's just called taking a bath. It's so funny how scared your average ministers of. Of the news. You know, they're like, finished. The. Nobody reads the paper, nobody watches evening there's. They don't matter. And you're like. You're like, going out of your way to make sure you don't see. Let's count. I'M going to get my timer up on my, on my phone. Yeah, he was, he was under for, for a minute. And this is, this is like the, the baptism tank they pulled out for this dude. And. Okay, let's start from the beginning. I'm gonna time. How long? How long? Let's guess from seeing it the first time. How long do you think they held him under? That's gotta be 15 seconds. I'll go. Okay, let's do this. Higher or lower? Let's do this on comments over under 16 seconds. I'll go over. Pastor Russell's under. You go over under on the comments and let it roll. He starts to struggle at the end. It's gonna be under. Yeah. He comes up like disoriented. She's moving now. It was 17 on the money. Next. Terrible church. We have no men and women. Sports. This is President Trump. As most of you would know. What many of you may not know, Thor Canadian friends would. That is Mark Carney, the prime Minister of Canada who has a transgender daughter. Listen to what Trump says knowing full well the guy sitting knee to knee with him has a transgender. Funny, Trump's got his legs spread way out and then to the point that the guy. Thanks for watching. Check the news. We'll be right back after these messages. The US Electric grid is approaching a breaking point. As demand soars from data centers and home energy use.

Building wealth doesn't look the same for everyone. It's not just about saving. It's about investing. It's about navigating systems that weren't built for you, embracing your hustle and relying on your community to create something bigger. And that's exactly why we created the Wealth Break. We made something different, something more human. It's not just another financial podcast. It's a conversation about real life, real struggles and real wins. We're here to talk about the journey. You're hearing from people who've broken barriers, found creative ways to succeed and learn to build wealth on their terms. Whether it's the first time homeowner, a gig worker, or someone turning a side hustle into a six figure business. We're bringing you their stories. And we're not stopping at success stories. We're breaking down the realities, like what it means to take risk, how to navigate failure, and why resilience matters. Because wealth isn't about money. It's about creating a life where you can thrive and help others to do the same. So if you're ready for a podcast as much as about people as it is about money, you're in the right place. Listen to the Wealth Break podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome back to Check the News. I want to be shaped by the agenda of the world. Whether that's a, a Fox News agenda or, or a J.D. greer agenda. I do not mean who is. So this guy's a Baptist, huh? Yeah, like a woke. Like Third Wayism Baptist. Tell me. I saw you mention Third Wayism. That. Oh, when you were on that podcast, you said Third Wayism's dead. Tell me what that is. I don't know what that is, it's like, you know, this, like, capitulation to moral, social or, or political ambiguity when guys will say things like, well, come on, you know, there's, there's problems on both side. I'm, I'm neither left nor right. I'm not an elephant or a donkey. I'm with the lamb. You know, both, both. It's like, like both sides. Ism, Third wayism. And it's like, okay, it's like comparing, like, I know who it is that says that. Is there more than one guy that says that? It's like this entire, you know, stream of, of jds and it's. I'm so glad that I found you because I've never, I didn't know there were other people, like, felt the way I did. I hate when I. During election season, it's like, have you ever noticed if you watch live streams, pastors set out to preach about who to vote for and voting biblical values. But it gets so tense in their church because they've never taken a stand. It's like you, everybody knows how you vote and feel, so when you preach on it, there's applause because you've run all those other people out. But these other people stay quiet for three and a half years, then all of a sudden get political and it gets real quiet and they go from, like, you can tell they started off planning in their notes to take a stand, but then it just goes into that neutral, like you said. Well, it's not about the donkey or the elephant, it's about the lamb. No matter whether Trump wins or Kamala wins, Jesus is still on the throne. What does that have to do. Jesus is on the throne in Syria. Right. It's not helping much. Well, and then they, they'll preach these sermons that'll go on for 50, 55 minutes and at the end of them dumb talking, you can't even tell what they said. What are you even talking about? I'm, I'm more confused. I don't even know what gender I am. After they get done talking. And so they always say it's the, you know, I just don't want to vote for the lesser of two evils. And you know, they're both bad. And it's like looking at a 85 year old who smokes three packs a day, who's dying of stage four cancer and they have Covid and they're in hospice care and then an 18 year old who has the flu and saying, well, they're both sick. And it's like, yeah, that's true in one sense. Correct. But it's not to the same degree that they're both sick. And so these guys, they think they sound like, so profound and, and they just sound like ass clowns. I mean, it, like, it, it's, it's like so on its face, ridiculous. It doesn't. But they feel like we're appealing to the, we're not in the political binary. We're, we're appealing to, like, the broader. Yeah, we're pulling everybody up and we. It doesn't even really matter how you vote because how many of, you know, we're just, you know, it's just, it's so gay. It is gay. And I, and I hate how they, it's like, said, like, we found a higher way, like, we're lower IQ People would tell you to vote for Trump over Kamala, but for me, it's not about that. It's about Jesus is on the. It's like, right, you are. I, I would love to sit any of those ministers down and just ridicule them on air. They, they wouldn't be able to defend any of their positions. You know what I mean? Right. But it's just like, you get everybody clapping. We should, the church shouldn't lead. Right. And the church shouldn't lean left. The church should stand. It's like, well, tell me what, what position you can take a stand on that's not leaning. Right. And this isn't like the 1960s. You know, we're not talking about, like, business owners versus workers. Right. You're talking about two parties who don't, don't agree on biological gender, marriage, life in the womb. Basic, like, fundamental, transcendent truth. This isn't about who wants a social safety net and who doesn't want a social safety net. And so it's just the most, like, cowardly form of communication. It's, it's such, like, just this totally false appeal to nuanced intellect. People see through it. It's just so ridiculous. Intelligent people see through it. If you want a church full of clapping seals. And that's why you have, you know, it's interesting when you look at the like, like there's churches that are way bigger than mine and bigger than yours, even though yours is, is double the size of mine, but they're giving is like 10 or 20 times less than ours because they appeal to morons. Right. And keep them as warrants. There's nothing wrong with starting off as a moron. But, you know, church should make you intelligent and dominant. You know, Your covenant with God should make you a conqueror. So when you're always gearing to these people that don't even know that it's maybe not a good idea to vote pro abortion, anti everything that the Bible's for, you end up with a big. In a big, ineffective, non, you know, like non existent church. You got 15,000 people that come every weekend and nobody in the city even knows you exist. Right, right. Whereas like, you do it Russell's way, you've got 4,000 people and the whole nation is like keeping an eye on what you're doing. Yeah. It's like these like overweight, cumbersome congregations that they might draw a crowd on a Sunday, but they're really of no consequence. It's like, it's like if Chris Christie was your congregation, you know, it's like big, it's lumbering, but it's generally non effective. That's right. By the way, why the sleeves rolled up? Are you doing like wood shop in the back between services? You repairing something at the church? He's whittling a bow and arrow. Appealing to the working man by rolling up the sleeves. All right, take it away, you big dummy. Race some kind of revisionist approach to history like the 1619 Project or adopt CRT approaches to politics or education. Those approaches are often as worldly and problematic as what they're trying to correct. Critical race theory is wrong. Our cultural preferences, Hear me? They're not wrong. And no one should ever tell you they're wrong. And anybody that's ever told you that, if you've interpreted something I have said, that means that I was not telling you correctly. It's not wrong. The loss of religious liberties in this country. Country. Or the killing of unborn life. Those are not white evangelical concerns. Those are people concerns. Those are Christian concerns. Is not about a social program that we live out. Ethnic unity is not the gospel. We're not simply after a diversity quota here. The point is not us achieving an ethnically diverse audience or having the right color faces up here on stage. For a few years now, we have said that our goal as a church, we say 25 by 25. As in we would like for our congregation to be 20, 25% ethnically diverse. At least 25 ethnically diverse. That's really what black people and Hispanics want to hear. That'll get them flooded in the church. Right. And one. Exactly one quarter of you to be black. No more, no less cares. Yeah. Let me tell you, who cares? First of all, if you want to attract more black People, you're going to have to change that shirt. I'll tell you that right now. That's like black people repellent. That's raid for black people. You would actually attract more black people if you preached in a Klan outfit than that outfit. At least they'd respect your stand. Yeah. Now you know why you don't have a quarter. What a stupid statement to make. We want just the right amount of black people. Our goal is 25 by 25. Yeah. Not too many, not too few. 25. If it gets 26% will really lose control of this church. If we get 26%, we're going to play an episode of Friends. Get back down. He's like, you know, we'll let, we'll let our church be 25% black, but we'll only give them 2/3 of a vote. Congregational voting model. I know we're joking around, but I literally can't believe somebody that's like, has a Ph.D. said something that dumb. From the platform. It's, it's. We want exactly one quarter of our church population to be kind of tan. Not too black, not too black. We're black enough. We want just enough so our music doesn't suck. It's like, it's like, you know, at our church, everyone is welcome if you're black enough. We want to get up to 25% so our church basketball team quits losing by double digits. We got enough point guards. We need some power for it. We need a baseball player. Go ahead, J.D. greer, by 2025. If we achieve that, by the way, it is, it is 2025. So you better want to get on it. What do you. What a stupid thing to say. We want to. So, number one, what a sad thing that. That church has been in existence like a hundred years. Where is he too? Isn't he down south? I mean, trying to get your, your church population to 25% black. If you're like in northern Maine, northern Idaho, Vermont, respectable. But I think he's in like South Carolina, right? North Carolina. You're in North Carolina and you have under 25% minorities. But what are you doing in there? Keep going. Will mean we're reaching all the types of people that God has brought to our community and not just one slice of them. Now, I know for some of you, just talking about this raises questions. Well intended questions, I believe. Questions like, well, you know, is this similar to some worldly quota strategy like we went through at my previous job where this was kind of, you know, forced on everybody? It is Significant that right now about 20%, a little above 20% of our staff, 46 people to be exact, on our staff are people of color. Those that are serving in the senior. You have way too many people on staff. So hold on. 20% of your staff, which is 46 people, are people of color. Yeah. But wait, that means he has 230 people on the church staff. There's a lot. He's. I don't think the NFL has that many people on staff. He's. He's right. He's got. He's right. He runs a. They. They run a big diversity, equity and inclusion program. He's got a staff. It's a massive church staff. It sounds. Sounds bloated. Sounds like you need Elon Musk to come in there. Keep going. Director levels. That's doubled over the last three years to about 25%. Three of the five lay directional elders are people of color. More than half of our campus pastors are people of color, y'. All. That moves us closer to that 25% goal by 2025. By the way, that number's not arbit. There's zero Black people in that picture. Yeah, you're. You. You stack up. 25 by 25. 25% of what? Your Facebook audience. You're streaming on BET. What are you talking about? I don't even see any men. This dude is the whitest dude in the world. Number one. He's got the whitest church in the world. Yes. And he's up there trying to act like he's like this diversity champion. There were more black people on the Andy Griffith Show. Literally. Look at that place. Makes the an Assemblies of God church look like Harlem cringe. Holy moly. Not one of those people have ever been to Popeye's Chicken in their life. Keep going. Either. Because they say 20% is when a minority starts to feel like their voice is heard. That they're not just guests at a white church. That their influence is felt. And the first time guests who are minorities don't feel out of place. This is getting us closer to that. It doesn't. Any minority is going to feel out of place there. You'd feel out of place there if you had a spray tan. Thanks for watching. Check the news. We'll be right back after these messages. The US Electric grid is approaching a breaking point point.

Listen to the Wealth Break podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome back to Check the News. To equate this, she's talking about a boat that had 11 terrorists from Venezuela that they bombed or that they, you know, they blew out of the ocean that were running fentanyl into the country. Like, how would you defend that position? Like, if you were sitting here, you know, why, why do you feel their lives are valuable? Man, my heart breaks for these drug traffickers that met their fate at sea. I just, I just wish they could have made it across the border and sold their mission fentanyl and heroin and aided in human trafficking. I just, you know, let's all have a moment of silence. I mean, it's like, it's like these like middle aged liberal white women who look like they got in a fight with a weed whacker. These are like the most like dangerous imbeciles. And, and what's crazy is all like all these woke Lesbarian churches that like, they, this is like a type of, like every single one of them looks like this sounds like this. It's true. Preaches the same stuff because it's a spirit. Like, they all look the same, talk the same, they have the same gay talking points. It's all exactly the same framework. They get in the same Subaru, they drive to the same super cuts, they eat at the same old country buffet. It's the same thing. Yes. Why are you wearing like a camouflage frock for Legend of Zelda? Correct. Keep going. We're not gang members or drug smugglers and who had already turned around for sure when the US military slaughtered them. They weren't drug dealers. I don't think that's true. That rarely make the. They were just out there on the wave, running, shot, the suicide, the victim of domestic assault. You heard it all. It is almost enough to make us wonder how you could possibly hear our prayers over the constant persistent roar of it. Oh, I can help you. God never hears your prayers. Correct. God doesn't. Like, why is there a Chick that looks like this in every church that wants to run like puppet ministry. Send them to Hobbs. That don't Faith run puppet ministry in Hobbes. Isn't she one running puppets? She? Have you seen her show on Saturday? Listen, we just recruited her a new intern to help run puppet ministry. Is that true, Faith? Oh, her. Go ahead and contact Faith's puppet show. I used to watch it every Saturday. Now that I'm not doing LA and Phoenix every week, I want to start watching it again. Yeah, you don't have to do drugs on Saturday. How's the diversity in that church? You gotta admit though, like, one thing you can say for sure about black and Hispanic people is they don't go near these places. No, you never see everybody's white and a lady or gay. Next. The rest, of course, is history. Bang. Beautiful park there in Seattle with a moto pizza. That pitcher. Why they turn sand down? Oh, that pitcher is the best pitcher in major league baseball, arguably. And he was unhittable by the Cleveland Indians. Or if you call them the Guardians. I'll call them the indigenous savages before I'll call them the Guardians. They. Oh, look, it gets the Triton. Let's go. So they. It's the one I took a dawn to go see the. The Indians and the Tigers and Subo was pitching. It's the first time I've ever seen major league hitters guessing at pitches. Just like guessing fastball. They had. The guy's unhittable. And Polanco destroys him one more time. The rest, of course, is history. Boom. Polanco sends this to left and that ball is history. I could root for Seattle next. Most people in the country. All the same. All the same. That's really the dominant. You owe it to your husband to never look like that understanding of how Christian. That's an open and shut. Irreconcilable differences. Right. And it's not surprising all across we had irreconcilable differences. I felt like she should look like a woman and she. She wanted to look like Pat Summer plates. It's. It's all car related but. But it's. It's people also, you know, marching and protesting at clinics with. With pro abortion sermon. Again, you're not. You don't even have the ability to get pregnant. But the, the im know I bring this up all the time, but I don't understand why it's all. All these postmenopausal women that are so concerned about abortion. It makes no sense. It's like Rosie o' Donnell leaving the country? Yes. Over that. Over Roe v. Wade getting overturned. You're an old lesbian. You're not going to get pregnant. This lady's an old lesbian. Ish. 50. 50. She's not getting pregnant. Why? Why do you care? It doesn't make sense. It's not. This is not like from a pro life standpoint, it doesn't make sense why you care about something that you can't do. It'd be like me fighting for like changes in the rules of Little league baseball. Right. To allow me to hit. I'm not playing. Right. You're not getting pregnant. No one's going near you. You had a slim chance of getting pregnant when you were of age to have babies, and at this point it doesn't matter. So why are you so passionate about killing babies? Keep going. Is taking out of context the reality of what's happening biologically. When 90% of abortions are happening in the first 12 weeks. Doesn't look anything like that. That great. The picture. Well, that makes it okay then. A prenate very close to birth. And that is not what's happening in abortion. It is happening. You guys were fighting for third trimester abortions and the ability to let the kid die if the abortion was unsuccessful and it was born anyway. If we let you people decide, you'd give the parents till the kids started first grade to decide whether they wanted to keep it or not. I want ICE to deport these people. Absolutely. Like we let some of the illegal immigrants stay. I want ICE to deport these people. How can you be that unattractive? That's a skill. It is. It's like you put effort into not looking nice. Holy moly. Brutal. Next this morning, before we pray, I want to lean into some of the political tension in our country and the recent assassination of gentleman named Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated this past Thursday, I believe, and I've written out a statement here, Second Corinthians, chapter 10, verse 3 through 5 reads this way. For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God. And we take every thought captive to obey Christ. In this text, Paul is reminding us that as believers, our battle is not a physical battle, it's a spiritual battle God has called us to be a part of. And it is therefore not fought with carnal weapons, but with spiritual ones. You haven't said anything I heard it. And I think in this political tension that we live in, Charlie Kirk and other political activists, particularly some on the evangelical right, often see ideas and policies that claim to be Christian, but they're fought with in a carnal posture. They're fighting for Jesus with. With anger. If you could ordain Xanax, it would be more exciting than. And the danger of that is when you fight spiritual battles in a carnal way, the world responds with that same carnality. Also, he's blaming. We know how to do worldly better than you. Right. So what was he wearing? I denounce looks like uncle. That shouldn't be hard heart. It's wicked. That's obvious having said that. But it is also wicked to celebrate his death. Having said that, it is carnal to celebrate his death. To lack empathy for someone who doesn't have empathy for you is to live in carnality. Great job on sound. At the same time, while he fought for ideals that he believed were Christian, I also denounced the way he carried himself and especially the way he talked about black people. So here's what I want us to remember as a church, what I need all of us to know. People are not defined by their ideology. They are defined by the image of God. Genesis 1 says God created them in his own image. So here's what we got to understand. Charlie Kirk at his core is not a Republican or a conservative. He is a child of God made in the image of God who has right wing positions. How do we stop leaders from pastors from being co opted by what they think is the faith narrative that best suits where they are? Sorry, I wish I had a better way to say that. Yeah, get off social media. And by that I don't just mean. Of course I'm on social media now less than before. But I think there's an important role that spiritual leaders folks, gotta go. I'm having lunch with the pastor, with Pastor Russell. And I just looked in the restaurants 42 minutes away, which I shouldn't have assumed it was less than that, but I had no idea it was gonna be that far. I got a shirt for you today if you want to help us feed 5,000 kids, we've got a bunch of new people popped on. Great shirt to commemorate two guys that you enjoy their company, me and Pastor Russell.
