The End of the Gifts for Glory Podcast

[00:00:00] Welcome to the Gifts for Glory Podcast, where we celebrate and promote men and women using

[00:00:15] their gifts for God's glory.

[00:00:17] Know someone who is making an impact for God's Kingdom using their gifts, talents and passions?

[00:00:23] We'd love to meet them.

[00:00:24] Send us an email at thepodcast at GiftsforGlory.com.

[00:00:28] And now here is our host, Dave Ebert.

[00:00:35] Hey, good evening friends and neighbors and welcome to this final plan, the edition of Gifts

[00:00:43] for Glory Podcast.

[00:00:44] For those that have listened, we have really strong listenership on the podcast in Indonesia

[00:00:53] and India.

[00:00:55] So we want to thank you for all those that have listened throughout the years, for the

[00:01:02] last almost five years since we started the show.

[00:01:06] We started as an audio only podcast and then in 2020 we went to video.

[00:01:15] And of course what, how could I end this episode?

[00:01:20] I'm going to be in this show without the shadows of a cat interfering or getting a trooper,

[00:01:28] our feline friend has made numerous appearances throughout the year.

[00:01:33] So of course he's going to be here tonight to be a part of our show.

[00:01:37] So we are wrapping up Gifts for Glory Podcast as you may have known or may have noticed

[00:01:47] that we went from weekly to twice a month and then have really been absent for almost

[00:01:53] a month now since our last show.

[00:01:56] And it was, it's just that time is kind of running out as far as like being able to commit

[00:02:04] to doing a well prepared show and to give you guys the best show that I can.

[00:02:11] And I will admit that there was a loss of motivation when the creative motion network was taken

[00:02:18] down off of Roku.

[00:02:19] I don't know if any of you follow that story or know anything about that.

[00:02:25] But the creative motion network was an inspiration to start doing the video podcast and doing

[00:02:30] it live every week.

[00:02:33] And it was just, it was a lot of fun to share the stories, to share the testimonies.

[00:02:39] And to hear the testimonies of so many amazing people over the course of the last five years.

[00:02:45] So those of you that are going to watch whether you're watching live or you're going to watch

[00:02:50] the replay or you just listening to the audio on your favorite podcast platform.

[00:02:54] I just want to thank you for hanging out with us all this time.

[00:02:58] Now there is say caveat, maybe this is kind of like Michael Jordan's first retirement

[00:03:03] for the bowls 99.9990% retired or taking the podcast away.

[00:03:10] But then there is that point 1% that I might come back, I might do something different.

[00:03:16] But so again, Trooper does not want to be left out.

[00:03:21] You see the ear in the bottom part of your screen as he needs the attention right now.

[00:03:28] He can't wait till the after the show.

[00:03:30] So of course, what what Degas your podcast series finale would be complete without Trooper.

[00:03:38] So we're just thankful to have you along with us.

[00:03:40] Just going to talk about my future plans and the different things that we have going on

[00:03:46] that that have started taking up our time so that I'm not really able to dedicate to the

[00:03:52] podcast right this moment.

[00:03:55] There are a lot of great guests that I've really wanted to bring on.

[00:03:58] I'm just having a chance to connect with them.

[00:04:01] So there's a lot of unfinished business with the podcast which is kind of what we do in

[00:04:08] improv, what we used to do when I was a pro wrestler you want to leave them wanting more.

[00:04:14] So I'm hoping that those that have watched or listened that I'm leaving and wanting

[00:04:18] a little bit more so that maybe if time comes when things slow down, we can redo this

[00:04:26] and revisit this and maybe do something a little bit different.

[00:04:30] But for now, this is going to be our last episode.

[00:04:31] Don't have any guests scheduled but I will say this if you're somebody that's watching

[00:04:36] that maybe you're a former guest or somebody that always wanted to join me and have a conversation.

[00:04:42] Private message me through Facebook and I will send you the link and you can jump right

[00:04:46] in.

[00:04:48] So feel free to take advantage of that as well because if you want to jump in, I'd love

[00:04:52] to talk to you and have a chat and we'll see how long this episode goes.

[00:04:59] So let me put that note up here as a pop-up so anybody that wants to tune in can join us

[00:05:10] so we're just hanging on with you one second.

[00:05:12] Again, like I said, time to prep and prepare and plan and pray and get the way it needs

[00:05:20] to as been a struggle and that's why fewer and fewer episodes have come out the last few

[00:05:25] months and that's why we're going to go ahead and pull the plug after tonight's episode.

[00:05:32] So we get that note up for anybody that joined this late.

[00:05:39] All right, so let me put that up on the screen now.

[00:05:47] If you're somebody that's tuning in whether you're a past guest or something that I probably

[00:05:54] should have found a way to get you on, please email or message me and I'll get you the

[00:06:00] show link and you jump in.

[00:06:02] And we'll talk for a few minutes and we'll go from there.

[00:06:05] So do want to thank all of the guests that have been a part of the Guest Reward Podcast.

[00:06:11] That's so many amazing guests.

[00:06:13] It's so hard, it's really hard to really nail down like a favorite.

[00:06:22] Easy enter of course was early on like this fourth episode I did.

[00:06:27] And she brought my wife on back when we was the audio only podcast back when we were

[00:06:32] testing and trying to figure things out that was way way back.

[00:06:38] When I had Bobby on we end that was the time when we pre-recorded and we were in the bedroom.

[00:06:45] I had a mic and she had a mic and my mic had a short in the cord.

[00:06:50] And unfortunately most of what I had to say was was not heard or was not clear.

[00:06:59] So back on June 2019 June 5th 2019 is when I published the episode with me and my wife,

[00:07:06] Bobby.

[00:07:08] That was I think there was actually the fifth episode that we did.

[00:07:14] So we had it took me a while to actually convince Bobby to join me and come on the podcast

[00:07:20] and share her story.

[00:07:23] But you can look at anchor dot FM slash gifts for glory and you can look at all of our episodes,

[00:07:31] the first episode being published April 17th 2019.

[00:07:35] So just over four years so it's felt like I started in 2018.

[00:07:40] I think that's when I started planning it but my first episode was back in April 2019

[00:07:45] when I had Ryan McChesney who is my co-founder of Wellverse Comedy.

[00:07:51] Well at that point it was Ha Ha Men.

[00:07:54] We founded that in actually early 2013 as when we started the comedy and then life changed

[00:08:01] and seasons changed and Ryan left the team.

[00:08:05] But I was always respected and appreciated what he did to help get Wellverse Comedy in

[00:08:10] his current form off the ground as Ha Ha Men way back in the day.

[00:08:15] Another great episode really had a lot of fun talking to Dr. Felicity Joyce Solomon.

[00:08:22] And that conversation was actually the second take and that was back in early spring 2019

[00:08:31] when I interviewed Dr. Felicity Joy who is a good friend of the show and in fact she's

[00:08:40] been a Patreon supporter for many years helping support this little thing on this little

[00:08:46] show.

[00:08:47] But we had a great conversation back in April 2019.

[00:08:51] The title of the episode is The Necessary Awkwardness of Social Interactions.

[00:08:56] We just really talked and dove into the fact that it's so hard to have real conversations

[00:09:02] anymore.

[00:09:03] We can't ask questions for fear of offending or getting canceled.

[00:09:07] And we really dove into that and how prophetic was that because it's just, you know, the

[00:09:12] cancel culture has been on steroids the last few years.

[00:09:16] So I really had a great conversation with that.

[00:09:19] That was my second episode.

[00:09:20] I started up a split in the two parts with Coach Mark King who was the founder and owner

[00:09:28] of the Florida flight down in Orlando.

[00:09:30] He's a coach and he's done a lot of great things for the kingdom around the sport of basketball.

[00:09:38] And then we had Austin and Lebb who were coming up to Illinois for pure fest back in 2019.

[00:09:44] They joined me in May.

[00:09:46] And then we had Brad Newton founder of Kid Prove and Him Probe.

[00:09:51] In a very funny story about that guest, I first met him through Facebook in 2013 when Ryan

[00:09:58] and I ran Riches and he mentioned just a moment ago, the two of us were founding the improv

[00:10:03] group when we thought, Hey, what about a word play?

[00:10:06] What if we talk about him as in God, Him Probe.

[00:10:09] So we come up with a name, Him Probe, which is a brilliant name because it had already

[00:10:13] been taken for about a decade by Brad Newton and his team down Dallas.

[00:10:19] And so that's how we met where like, Hey, can we be Him Probe Chicago?

[00:10:23] And they said, No, I want you guys to pick your own identity and that we did.

[00:10:29] But Brad is a dear friend now and it just kind of, it's wonderful.

[00:10:34] God just brings things full circle and people who are in the body of press that maybe meet

[00:10:41] under odd circumstances or crazy circumstances and have become any dear friends.

[00:10:49] So for those of you that have missed our many shows, I've really had a lot of great

[00:10:57] guests throughout the years.

[00:11:00] You can also hear some of the messages I gave when I would give the message at Crosspoint

[00:11:06] Church or former church.

[00:11:08] I shared those as well on my podcast.

[00:11:13] Right when overcomer came out in the fall of 2019, Cameron Arnet as a guest.

[00:11:21] Let's see other other.

[00:11:23] I had JP to has been doing a lot of a lot of great work for the kingdom just promoting

[00:11:31] the name of Jesus.

[00:11:34] He actually made a film called opening the door, homosexuality in the church.

[00:11:39] Great documentary something to really get the conversation started about homosexuality

[00:11:45] within the church.

[00:11:47] So that was a great episode.

[00:11:52] So I'm just as I'm talking, I'm just scrolling through all the different names of the people

[00:11:56] that we've had.

[00:11:58] It's been a blessing to talk to all these amazing guests throughout the year.

[00:12:06] So if you ever board and you want to go back and see how bad I started off and how bad

[00:12:11] I sounded, please go back.

[00:12:14] You can look me up on anchor.fm slash gifts for glory.

[00:12:19] And check out the history of the podcast.

[00:12:23] So it's been a great ride.

[00:12:26] And I want to talk tonight a little bit about what's going on in the future, but I'm not

[00:12:32] going to do that right now.

[00:12:34] I'm going to actually transition to our final devotions with Dave segment.

[00:12:41] Devotions with Dave every show we always had brought a verse and I shared my thoughts

[00:12:46] on it.

[00:12:47] I've used before, so don't judge me for doing a repeat.

[00:12:53] But this is a verse that's very inspirational to the podcast.

[00:12:57] And it's so important in our day-to-day lives just to realize the weight and the gravity

[00:13:03] of this verse.

[00:13:04] It's Revelation 12-11 coming out of the New Living Translation.

[00:13:10] And they have defeated him which is our enemy Satan by the blood of the Lamb.

[00:13:15] Christ did all the work.

[00:13:17] He did all the work by shedding his blood on the cross of Calvary.

[00:13:21] That is what gave us the victory, but we can overcome through that and also by our testimony.

[00:13:27] So it says, and they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and their testimony.

[00:13:32] And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.

[00:13:37] So vulnerability being willing to sacrifice, sharing the testimony of what God has done

[00:13:43] in and through you.

[00:13:45] So the first, the completed work is the blood of the Lamb.

[00:13:49] But then we have to tell what God did and I compare it to a dating or a marriage relationship.

[00:13:56] When you start dating somebody, if you don't share about what that person is doing in your

[00:14:01] life, you don't tell people, hey, this person has changed my life.

[00:14:05] This person excites me.

[00:14:06] This person is, as we get cliché, this person completes me.

[00:14:12] If we don't tell, then is it really true that we love this person?

[00:14:17] Are we denying the fact that we love them if we don't tell a soul?

[00:14:22] And that's kind of the similar thing with this verse.

[00:14:24] It's telling us, yeah, the blood of the Lamb saved you, but if you truly receive it,

[00:14:29] if it's truly saved you, if it's truly changed your eternity, then you gotta tell somebody.

[00:14:36] It's the blood of the Lamb and your testimony.

[00:14:39] The blood of the Lamb saves you, yes.

[00:14:43] But the fact that all the mistakes, all the sins, everything that you've done wrong,

[00:14:48] everything that you've done selfishly, everything that you've done to hurt others, everything

[00:14:52] that you've done to disobey or reject or rebel against God, all of that is wiped away

[00:14:56] by the blood of the Lamb.

[00:14:59] If you don't tell somebody, have you really received it?

[00:15:04] If it doesn't change your point where you want people to know, maybe you really received

[00:15:09] it.

[00:15:09] I'd say quote, I've shared that it's just something that came to mind many years ago was,

[00:15:15] if you're a Christian and nobody knows it, are you really?

[00:15:21] Now, I understand that missionaries in China or the Underground Church in Saudi Arabia

[00:15:26] or Iran, yeah, those people that you're working with maybe they don't know you're a Christian,

[00:15:33] but somebody does.

[00:15:35] Somebody's supporting you, somebody's praying for you.

[00:15:37] So somebody back home knows you're a Christian.

[00:15:40] So that's a completely different circumstance.

[00:15:42] I'm talking about, if you say yeah, I'm a Christian but nobody knows, you've not told a soul?

[00:15:49] It's kind of like that that question from Tom Cruise, the Jack Nicholson in a few good men.

[00:15:57] Willie Santiago was so excited about going home.

[00:16:01] He didn't make one phone call.

[00:16:04] He didn't tell a soul where he was going home.

[00:16:08] Which is suspicious.

[00:16:10] So if you claim Christ in your mind and you think I'm saved but you haven't told anybody,

[00:16:16] you have an express excitement, you don't go to church, you don't fellowship with other believers,

[00:16:20] you got a question, is your salvation truly as real as you want it to be?

[00:16:25] Or did you just get the membership card and it's like an insurance policy?

[00:16:30] The insurance policy is not going to work for you.

[00:16:33] We have overcome by the blood of the Lamb in the word of our testimony.

[00:16:39] Revelation 12-11 and they've defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and their testimony

[00:16:44] and they did not love their lives that they were afraid to die.

[00:16:48] Now, in our day and age, that can be applied just to dying the court of public opinion.

[00:16:54] Because it's not always safe among your friends and family to share your testimony,

[00:16:58] I need to share who Jesus is.

[00:17:01] So sometimes that being not afraid to die includes a fear to sacrifice your status,

[00:17:09] where you sit in society, where you sit among your friends and family.

[00:17:17] Sometimes dying to self means just simply putting pride on the shelf saying,

[00:17:22] yeah, Jesus saved me.

[00:17:23] Jesus did this for me.

[00:17:24] Jesus helped me overcome this addiction or this sin.

[00:17:30] So we win by Christ's blood and by sharing what he's done.

[00:17:38] So don't be quiet about it, especially in these days.

[00:17:42] We're in July right now as I speak.

[00:17:45] Last month was all about sharing the antithesis of being saved and bought by the blood

[00:17:53] of Christ. The rest of us need to start being just as vocal and sharing our testimony

[00:18:02] and sharing about the power of the blood of the Lamb.

[00:18:05] So that is our devotion with Dave segment four tonight, our last episode of Gist of Glory.

[00:18:11] So thank you, thankful for those of you that are going to watch or those that are going to listen

[00:18:15] and be a part of this final episode.

[00:18:19] Whether you're watching live or whether you're watching the replay,

[00:18:23] please feel free to leave a comment and share any moments that you've enjoyed from the show,

[00:18:28] anything that maybe you like. It's good that you're hitting a day. This could have been a lot better.

[00:18:35] I'll take the feedback just for any event then I feel like it's time to bring back a podcast

[00:18:40] again in the future. But just so thankful to Felicity Joy for being a Patreon supporter for so many

[00:18:48] years. I want to encourage you to look her up on Facebook, find her her different efforts.

[00:18:55] She's running a home church. She's also got Black conservative female. She's also a life coach.

[00:19:01] So I'll find Dr. Felicity Joy on Facebook and social media. And just thank you for helping

[00:19:08] support Gist of Glory for all these years. So one of the things that I wanted to do tonight is

[00:19:13] highlight how big of a year the last 12 months have been for the name of Jesus at the box office.

[00:19:24] We're talking like some heavy hitting opportunities that the name of Christ has had in the theaters.

[00:19:31] You know, we're talking about the chosen, had two theatrical releases to kick off their

[00:19:37] to kick off in Raptor seasons. They also had prior to that they had the Christmas special in theaters.

[00:19:43] So the chosen has made an impact in the theaters and kind of helped pave the way

[00:19:49] or some of these other other films. Now I want to just play a few trailers for you in case

[00:19:56] you haven't seen these or in case you just need to be reminded. The first one we'll play is the

[00:20:03] one that's currently in theaters. It's had a really strong run. It's one that my wife and I went to

[00:20:08] see the second day was out phenomenal film and it helps raise awareness on modern day slavery.

[00:20:17] We fought a civil war to end slavery of the black slaves in the South. It's now time to fight

[00:20:25] another fight. I pray it's not going to be a civil war, but I pray it's done at the ballot box.

[00:20:31] I pray that it's done in our legislatures. I pray that our law enforcement are given the tools

[00:20:36] needed to end this modern day slavery. Men, women and children are bought and sold daily

[00:20:44] in America. America is the highest, the largest customer and consumer of the sex trades.

[00:20:51] One of the things and the thing I'll talk about later is what Bobby and I are going to be doing

[00:20:57] in the coming years is working with more survivors of sex trafficking. For the last four and

[00:21:04] a few years I volunteered to salt my coalition and I've worked with women who've survived sex

[00:21:09] trafficking using improv as a way to minister to them. These are women some of them were sold as

[00:21:15] children. Mom and dad wanted to sell their baby girl for a quick fix of heroin or cocaine or whatever

[00:21:23] it may have been. Sex trafficking is real. Anybody that says differently is either completely ignorant

[00:21:30] or maliciously trying to cover it up. There are no other option. It's either malicious intent

[00:21:38] or woeful ignorance if you believe that this movie is highlighting something that's not happening.

[00:21:44] I know that there are some articles that they're calling this movie a QAnon conspiracy theory.

[00:21:51] To me that sounds like somebody that wants anything but the light shed on this industry.

[00:21:58] So I'll play for you now the trailer to the to the amazing film, the story of Tim Ballard and

[00:22:05] Operation Underground Railroad. This is called Sound of Freedom in theaters now.

[00:22:16] Now that make you feel

[00:22:25] giving your child is freedom.

[00:22:30] Tell him to go in. You have been at this for 12 years.

[00:22:41] Why are you doing it?

[00:22:47] Yes, God's children are not for sale.

[00:22:53] It is the fastest growing international crime that worked at the world has ever seen.

[00:22:59] For Homeland Security you know we can't go off rescuing Honduran kids in Colombia.

[00:23:05] This job tears you to pieces.

[00:23:10] And this is my one chance to put those pieces back together.

[00:23:17] And yet somehow you have failed to bring me one real world lead.

[00:23:24] It's over 10. Close up and come back home.

[00:23:30] So you quit your job and you go and rescue those kids.

[00:23:34] Let freedom bring you

[00:23:44] So if I thought to do this all revolutionary, no one goes in.

[00:23:50] But if this is your daughter.

[00:23:57] So she's gone.

[00:24:04] Let freedom bring you

[00:24:12] You hear that?

[00:24:17] That's the Sound of Freedom.

[00:24:29] Sound of Freedom is one of those films that can legitimately change this world.

[00:24:33] So we want to ignite a fire in audiences and open their eyes to the dark reality

[00:24:38] of millions of children that need our help.

[00:24:41] Let's make this film as a historic event

[00:24:44] and to start the end of child trafficking.

[00:24:47] Theaters across this country are already selling out.

[00:24:51] Pre-order your tickets today and you can send the message

[00:24:55] that God's children are no longer for sale.

[00:25:04] So that is Sound of Freedom a phenomenal film.

[00:25:14] It's still in theaters and I encourage you to go out.

[00:25:16] If you can't afford it, they have a Pay It Forward program where

[00:25:20] if you can't afford the film, they want you to still see it.

[00:25:22] Many many people have bought tickets to pay it for to allow people

[00:25:25] to go out and see it even if they can't afford it.

[00:25:28] So check that out.

[00:25:30] The link is right here popping up as I speak.

[00:25:33] Our rescue.org slash sound dash of freedom or just google search sound of

[00:25:39] freedom.

[00:25:40] Excuse me and go see the film and support it

[00:25:43] and be challenged by it.

[00:25:46] Be challenged, be angered

[00:25:48] and weep for these kids who are tortured and abused

[00:25:54] neglected and treated like property.

[00:25:59] This is the modern day slavery.

[00:26:01] It's kids, there's women, there's men who are bought in sold daily.

[00:26:06] You know the American Super Bowl every year it's this week of celebration and regalia

[00:26:13] and celebration and football but it's also the largest event for trafficking

[00:26:21] buying, selling, prostitution and the like.

[00:26:24] It's the biggest event in the world because it attracts so many rich and powerful people,

[00:26:30] so many strange faces in a city that nobody knows, nobody recognizes, so much parting

[00:26:36] that people will dismiss.

[00:26:37] They're like, oh that's not anything they'll worry about.

[00:26:41] I have a friend who's named Chris Baker, somebody that I've tried to get on,

[00:26:44] gives you a worry, just never could match our schedules up.

[00:26:48] Chris Baker works with removing or covering up tattoos of people who are either in gains

[00:26:54] or who are bought in sold in the sex trades.

[00:26:59] And many times people who are bought in sold in the sex trades are given a mark,

[00:27:04] a tattoo, something to indicate this person is owned by such and such,

[00:27:10] do not touch, do not interfere.

[00:27:14] And Chris has worked with police on several steam operations at Super Bowls

[00:27:20] to bring to justice people who are buying and selling and trying to meet with

[00:27:26] prostitutes, with kids.

[00:27:29] And so it's a real pandemic, it's a real problem in our world

[00:27:33] and Santa Freedom is trying to raise awareness to that

[00:27:37] and to show you that this is a problem that will not go away just by ignoring it.

[00:27:42] For those of you that don't know,

[00:27:45] one of the biggest problems of having an open border here in the United States is that it allows

[00:27:50] poor children who are promised a better life in America to be trafficked across the border

[00:27:56] to the buyers and sellers.

[00:28:01] Many times the miners come unaccompanied with only a slip of paper with a name and a phone number.

[00:28:08] And unfortunately they're sent to that person and never seen again.

[00:28:13] I was estimated in the last three years around 86,000 children have come across a border and

[00:28:19] disappeared. 86,000.

[00:28:23] And that's just what we know of.

[00:28:25] Now it's an astronomical number almost seems unreal.

[00:28:31] But that's all we know about.

[00:28:33] And surely, yeah, some of those 86,000 sure.

[00:28:36] Some of them pound families and are hiding underneath below the radar.

[00:28:40] Absolutely.

[00:28:42] But even if just one of those 86,000 is being bought and sold as a sex slave,

[00:28:51] that's too much.

[00:28:53] And that's why I appreciate and value what Santa Freedom is raising the alarm for.

[00:29:00] Operation Underground Railroad.

[00:29:02] Check them out.

[00:29:03] Find organizations in your neighborhood.

[00:29:06] If you're in Chicago and check out the Salt and Light Coalition,

[00:29:10] they work with the aftercare of those who have escaped trafficking.

[00:29:13] Their organizations throughout the country, Tim Tibe has an organization working with survivors of sex trafficking.

[00:29:19] It's a huge issue.

[00:29:21] And it's not going to go away by pretending it's not existing.

[00:29:25] It's not going to go away because of cute little articles that call it a QAnon conspiracy theory.

[00:29:31] It's real and it's tragic.

[00:29:35] And it's one of the many reasons that our father in heaven will pass a harsh judgment on our country

[00:29:42] because we've allowed the lease of these.

[00:29:45] We've allowed his children to be bought, sold, raped, and used.

[00:29:55] And thrown away.

[00:29:57] We've turned a blind eye for far too long, not enough of us are willing to speak out.

[00:30:04] And here is a painful fact.

[00:30:07] I know that even within the Christian Church,

[00:30:10] that there are people who are consumers of pornography.

[00:30:18] Sure, there are some actors and actresses who do this kind of work,

[00:30:24] voluntarily.

[00:30:26] But when you consume pornography,

[00:30:30] can you tell which ones want to be there and which ones have been forced to be there?

[00:30:37] You can't. That's the point.

[00:30:41] If you're somebody likes to go out and party, go to Vegas, maybe go overseas

[00:30:45] and maybe hey, let's cut loose.

[00:30:48] It happens in the church too.

[00:30:51] In the church out of the church, if you and you pay for a little rendezvous,

[00:31:00] how can you tell that the person that you are purchasing

[00:31:05] is doing so of their own free will?

[00:31:08] Or is doing so because they feel like they have to.

[00:31:12] Feel like they're forced.

[00:31:15] You can't.

[00:31:16] And that's the point.

[00:31:17] So it's a tragic

[00:31:22] mark on this country that we are the biggest consumers of child porn and of the sex trades.

[00:31:33] So don't let this moment of this movie and a success pass us by when we don't find ways to fight

[00:31:40] this. So check it out.

[00:31:43] Oh, you are rescue dot org.

[00:31:45] Oh, you are rescue dot org slash sound of freedom.

[00:31:49] Find the movie, watch it and wake up America.

[00:31:53] Wake up.

[00:31:56] And in a vein of waking up, I want to play for you another trailer of another movie

[00:32:03] that doesn't have the pureflix happy ending.

[00:32:06] It's not hallmarked plus Jesus.

[00:32:10] This movie is designed specifically

[00:32:14] to wake you up to the realities of what's causing

[00:32:21] this extravagant and the child sex trafficking and the prostitution, the pornography to be

[00:32:26] on the rise in this country as well as in our church.

[00:32:32] It takes one little compromise at a time.

[00:32:34] One little open window or one little crack door

[00:32:38] and the enemy will take whatever you give them to limit you, to possess you

[00:32:46] and to take you hostage.

[00:32:49] Now this is not for a theological debate of whether or not a christian can be oppressed or possessed

[00:32:55] but it is a warning to all that when we play these things and we say oh, it's just

[00:33:03] oh, it's just a game.

[00:33:04] It's a weird word.

[00:33:05] No, it's just a game.

[00:33:07] No, no.

[00:33:09] Anytime anytime you try to tap into the spiritual that isn't God

[00:33:14] you're opening a door that could curse yourself

[00:33:18] your family and your children

[00:33:21] and until you deal with it on a spiritual warfare level

[00:33:26] you're asking for nothing but trouble

[00:33:29] and I think that this movie really raises up that awareness.

[00:33:32] So if you haven't seen yet, you don't know much about it.

[00:33:35] I'll check out this trailer from a nefarious which was in theaters this spring and is now

[00:33:39] available to rent or buy digitally.

[00:33:42] So here is the trailer from nefarious.

[00:33:44] Hello?

[00:33:46] You should have accepted my offer.

[00:34:01] Execution schedule for 11 p.m.

[00:34:03] It's trying to convince us he's gone insane

[00:34:07] and therefore incapable being a kid.

[00:34:10] I need you to prove he's faking it.

[00:34:13] Edward?

[00:34:14] I'm gonna ask you some questions.

[00:34:17] Edward, I'm a demon.

[00:34:21] Demons aren't really a thing.

[00:34:26] We haven't got that.

[00:34:28] We're we own him.

[00:34:29] We?

[00:34:33] He's a master manipulator.

[00:34:35] You have your head so twisted around you think you're the killer.

[00:34:38] Not him.

[00:34:40] And give me something to make me believe you.

[00:34:42] Prove to me you're demon.

[00:34:49] Probably just a coincidence.

[00:34:55] I want to talk to you real Edward.

[00:34:57] Makes me do bad things.

[00:34:59] I can't stop him.

[00:35:01] I need you to see something.

[00:35:03] You got a fan.

[00:35:05] Did the same thing with all his victims.

[00:35:07] You.

[00:35:09] I'm trying to Edward but you have to answer my questions.

[00:35:11] Do you have to tell me the truth?

[00:35:13] This won't let me.

[00:35:15] They can go away.

[00:35:17] They can go away.

[00:35:20] Yes?

[00:35:23] No.

[00:35:28] It's starting to happen.

[00:35:30] Can you feel it?

[00:35:31] The end of your feelings.

[00:35:37] I think it's time.

[00:35:47] We tell you exactly what it is that we'd like you to do.

[00:36:00] So that was a powerful movie.

[00:36:02] It's not for the faint of fire but I do believe every

[00:36:04] Christian should take a chance on seeing it because it addresses

[00:36:09] something that we too often ignore within the church.

[00:36:13] And that's the fact that we are in a spiritual war.

[00:36:16] Whether you want to admit it, admit to it or not,

[00:36:18] we are in a spiritual battle and it's very easy to lose at battle if

[00:36:23] you're not aware of what you're allowing in your life.

[00:36:27] Something as simple as a Ouija board.

[00:36:29] Something as silly as dabbling in witchcraft.

[00:36:33] Just as little compromises.

[00:36:37] That little step, that little crack in the wall that you allow to exist.

[00:36:43] Satan will send his demons in there to use them and manipulate you.

[00:36:48] Now again not a theological debate on whether or not we can be possessed or pressed

[00:36:53] or what have you but the fact is that when we give a foothold to the enemy he will take it

[00:37:01] and it's something that we do not address nearly enough in the church.

[00:37:06] And you know kind of related, we're just linking all these things together because like I said

[00:37:11] a few minutes ago Jesus has had a really great 12 to 18 months in the theater.

[00:37:17] The chosen in the last 18 months I believe has had three different theatrical releases.

[00:37:22] The Christmas special, the beginning of season 3 and then the end of season 3

[00:37:28] I did really well there. Also you had Niferious had a really solid showing.

[00:37:35] Sound of freedom is having a solid showing.

[00:37:37] Now sound of freedom not an overtly Christian movie but doesn't have to be.

[00:37:42] It's about freeing slaves and what could be more Christ-like than freeing those enslaved.

[00:37:48] Niferious was a powerful film showing the realities of spiritual warfare.

[00:37:54] Now related to that we're just kind of linking all these together Greg Locke, Pastor Greg Locke

[00:38:01] and Pastor Vlad and it can never get his name right but Pastor Vlad a lot of you may know

[00:38:07] from YouTube and in the 100th generation they created a film called Come Out in Jesus Name.

[00:38:13] It really well and is now available to rent or buy and there are also a lot of churches

[00:38:19] are having special showings. So check out this trailer of Come Out in Jesus Name

[00:38:25] and again these are all connected it's amazing how God orchestrated all this

[00:38:31] they kind of linked together but come out in Jesus name here's the trailer.

[00:38:34] In the New Testament is it fairifiable that Christians can be attacked and oppressed by demons?

[00:38:40] Come out. God used controversy. I'm on the list. He used CNN, he used the media, he used all of it

[00:38:48] to grow a massive size platform. Controversy built our platform. Two genders never about the

[00:38:57] controversy. It was never about the politics. I thought it was, I thought it was about Trump,

[00:39:04] I thought it was about COVID but God built our platform for deliverance.

[00:39:09] We are headed more into the same prophecy fulfilled before very us.

[00:39:18] There's a kingdom of righteousness and there's a kingdom of darkness.

[00:39:24] Something in our being craves something supernatural.

[00:39:30] If you're addicted to something you have company and he said in the last days the church will give

[00:39:36] he to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons. They will begin to listen to demonic doctrines.

[00:39:41] He doesn't mind you going to church, he doesn't mind you praising his own you don't change.

[00:39:45] There's a great awakening that is coming.

[00:39:50] The kingdom of God is not about talk. Jesus is king. It's about power and demonstration.

[00:39:55] So they don't church in the United States on belief needs a real awakening of deliverance

[00:39:59] because of the evil that's going around.

[00:40:02] Christians can be under the influence of state-genic oppression, a hundred percent they can.

[00:40:07] You see redemption and salvation is for the lost.

[00:40:10] Deliverance is to set the captive free.

[00:40:16] The word of God says these signs shall follow then that belief.

[00:40:21] A lot of the enemies that keep the church quiet.

[00:40:36] Deliverance is for the people of God. Deliverance is for the church.

[00:40:40] I'm here to call this culture to Jesus Christ and cast out demons

[00:40:45] because these signs shall follow then that belief in my name they shall cast out devils.

[00:40:59] So wow so again this is all related. Sound of freedom is all about sex trafficking and the demonic

[00:41:06] at work harvesting children for the purposes of sex.

[00:41:12] Come out in Jesus name it's about the demonic and how it needs to be delivered and cast out

[00:41:18] and how we need to address it. Niferious it's about how the demonic can take that foothold

[00:41:25] and just completely overwhelm human beings.

[00:41:29] So this is linked together. It's like God had a plan right?

[00:41:34] And that's what Gifts of Warriors has been about using our gifts, our talents, our passions,

[00:41:38] our experiences, our knowledge, our woe, our just everything that God's given us and turning around

[00:41:44] giving him back to him is that God use it. This is what I want to do to serve you.

[00:41:48] I use humor. I use I've used podcasting. I've used speaking. I've used teaching improv.

[00:41:56] The people that were highlighting right now with these trailers they're using

[00:42:01] the medium of filmmaking which has been so pardon the word bastardized for the purposes

[00:42:12] of the satanic and the demonic and the evil and the antithesis of God's holiness.

[00:42:17] And we're starting to gain ground. It's not about cheesy movies with bad

[00:42:24] uh, filmography. These are high-pollity films that are killing it.

[00:42:31] So all these films I encourage you to check those out on niferious. You can buy your rent now.

[00:42:36] Go to whoisniferious.com. Sound of freedom. Freedom. Go to uh

[00:42:41] Operation Underground Railroads website and look for the link to Sound of Freedom or just search

[00:42:46] Sound of Freedom. It's still in theaters now. There are tickets available for free for those that

[00:42:52] are that have maybe been hit by this economy and this economy stinks. A box of family

[00:42:58] size cereal is eight bucks right now and my local jewel. So if you're a family and you're

[00:43:04] you're surviving on cereal because you got kids, this economy is horrid but there have been people

[00:43:10] who bought tickets for you to see Sound of Freedom and it will make you upset. It will take you off

[00:43:18] and you want to get involved. The 2024 election is right around the corner

[00:43:24] and it's not just present we're voting for. House of Representatives, your state representatives,

[00:43:30] your city mayors. Find out who will do what is necessary to stop, capture and eliminate sex trafficking.

[00:43:41] It's modern day slavery and there's nothing more Christlike that you can do than to free the

[00:43:47] captives to fight to free the captives. So that's my plan, that's my plug right now. Another film

[00:43:56] that just killed it in theaters this year is Jesus Revolution and linking it to the other three

[00:44:03] that I've just played. This film was about finding Jesus in unlikely places and allowing yourself

[00:44:10] to be inspired and changed by what Jesus wants to do through people that you may not like. You

[00:44:17] may not have any common anything in common with them, you may disagree with their techniques but

[00:44:23] the truth is this God wants used, Balam's donkey. So if God can speak through the mouth of a donkey

[00:44:33] and change history he can use anyone or anything and we need not limit God and put God in a box

[00:44:40] and know that God can use anybody and we just need to be ready to see what God's wanting to do.

[00:44:46] So if you haven't seen it yet please check out this trailer from Jesus Revolution.

[00:44:53] Hey square, I am not a square. I think we should invite Greg this weekend. What's the

[00:44:59] weekend? These people are kippy rebels against old fashioned authority. I think these kids need help.

[00:45:11] The need is a bad. You're passing judgment on people you know nothing about and maybe that's why

[00:45:15] your trip to So Empty. When God walks in here brings me a hippie I'll ask him what it's all about

[00:45:20] because I do not understand. This house has a very good vibe.

[00:45:29] There is an entire generation searching. Oh yeah they're spot on. Just in all the wrong places.

[00:45:37] If you want to reach my people you need to speak to them in a language they understand.

[00:45:41] If I bring them in I'm going to lose my job. We can only walk through doors open to us

[00:45:46] in your church and to door that shut.

[00:45:52] You've probably noticed we have some guests here today. I'd like you to meet my new friends. Welcome.

[00:45:59] They don't belong here. Half of the money weren't shoes. They're savings and you should

[00:46:05] corporate. They need our help. If you feel like you're misunderstood and judged you will find

[00:46:11] forgiveness and freedom right here. That was awesome. Now that door is open anytime in it.

[00:46:18] And if there are some who don't like that well then that door works both ways. All right pastor let's

[00:46:23] begin. I was almost on this at the end with nobody else for even terror.

[00:46:30] This thing that we found I feel like I belong. You're going to need a bigger church.

[00:46:39] Her country is a dark and divided place but now it's hope and it's spreading.

[00:46:44] This is your home and I want you to tell all your friends about it.

[00:46:57] Yeah that was a really good movie. It was a great story of finding Jesus in unlikely places

[00:47:07] and allowing Jesus to work through people that you would normally discount.

[00:47:13] By the way might have been considered the least of these hippies. People from this weird culture

[00:47:18] with their long hair and their weird clothes. God is not limited so why do we constantly

[00:47:25] within the body? I started to limit God on who and when he can work. Who he can use and when

[00:47:31] he can work. And I think Jesus' revolution teaches us that and it links together like I said God

[00:47:38] knows what he's doing. Everything is coming together we need solutions. We need to trust that God

[00:47:43] can work in places that are new to us but there's nothing new under the sun. God knows what he's

[00:47:49] doing. So Jesus revolution.com is the movie. Now one thing I didn't want to go back a couple years

[00:47:56] and this will lead into a little bit more about what Bobby and I will be doing starting this fall.

[00:48:04] But there's a film a documentary that came out two years ago. We interviewed Pastor

[00:48:10] Kerry Gordon who was the spearhead behind this film and they are in works of making a sequel

[00:48:18] because there's so much that they could put it into one documentary film but it's called

[00:48:24] Enemies Within the Church. It's talking about the people that are infiltrating the church,

[00:48:30] bringing in a strange fire going back to Old Testament references, bringing a strange fire

[00:48:36] to the altar and are really hindering the effectiveness and the growth of the kingdom of God.

[00:48:43] And there's so many of us that kind of like when this extravagant thing were too quiet

[00:48:50] but we need to face the fact that there are enemies within our church and I just want to plug this

[00:48:55] this film one more time. You go to enemies within the church.com to find out more but here's

[00:49:00] the trailer from the film we had Kerry Gordon on a couple years ago, Judd Saul who we had on

[00:49:06] a couple months ago who's working in Nigeria as a missionary. He was a part of this film as well.

[00:49:14] So check out enemies within the church and then once this is over I want to tell everybody

[00:49:20] a little bit about what Bobby and I are doing and that's why we're postponing or canceling

[00:49:26] the podcast altogether but here's enemies within the church. What happened to the church,

[00:49:33] to the living, powerful, transformative, nation-shaking Christianity?

[00:49:40] What they're trying to do is completely demolish Western civilization and then to rebuild it

[00:49:47] in a just society. How do you break down American Christianity?

[00:50:01] I think the problem today in our culture is many of our words have been co-opted in stolen

[00:50:06] and dumbed down and reversed. Social justice is sold as something that it isn't. Critical race theory

[00:50:14] is sold as something that it isn't. When you preach victimization, it always leads to vengeance

[00:50:26] and face us against them, me against you, I want my pungent flesh. American churches today are

[00:50:33] where the universities were 10 years ago. Pretty heavily Marxist they're not quite there yet but

[00:50:39] that well on the way. Many of the seminaries in Bible college is definitely 40 there.

[00:50:48] That message that they're going out and taking the world is not you need to repent of your sin,

[00:50:53] receive Christ instead. The message that you actually have is they are under the weight of racism

[00:51:00] or sexism or homophobia and then we need to unify them together. I'm gay, I'm 29, I'm a youth

[00:51:08] pastor in New Jersey. I'm straight and I'm also a youth pastor in New Jersey. We're planning

[00:51:13] ensuring life together for the rest of our lives which we're not totally sure what that looks like.

[00:51:18] Obviously they can stay and he does plan on getting married when he has a wife one day she'll

[00:51:23] make decisions with us. The future damage of what we're doing now is just going to be enormous.

[00:51:29] The entire fabric of family, personal wealth, private property, all those things around the

[00:51:35] and everything is the state. They believe the state is God. They don't define justice the same way

[00:51:41] as the script. Oh no, it's going to be an equality alright and it's going to be a totalitarian

[00:51:46] Marxist justice.

[00:51:48] So enemies within the church.com, the Bible says that the gates of hell would not prevail against

[00:52:08] the church but certain churches, individual congregations, individual bodies within the grand

[00:52:17] body. They will fall because they're allowing Satan the foothold. They're allowing the gospel to

[00:52:23] be corrupted. They're allowing the message of the cross to be again in the term it's a very

[00:52:29] strong term. I know that they're allowing it to be bastardized and when you allow that strange

[00:52:34] fire to come to the altar, God is not slow to correct it. He is patient to allow grace and

[00:52:45] opportunity to repent but when the judgment falls they will fall and it will fall hard.

[00:52:54] We as the body of Christ we have to secure ourselves to the Word and we need to follow the word

[00:53:01] and follow God and follow his Holy Spirit and not the spirit of the age, not the spirit of our

[00:53:06] nation but the spirit of the kingdom. And we need to cleanse the house. Clans the house have zeal

[00:53:15] for God's house and cleanse it of the enemies within the church. If you want to see more

[00:53:21] you can buy the movie at enemieswithinthechurch.com. Like I said a lot of great

[00:53:28] productions and projects have come out the last few years that honor and glorify God. And we

[00:53:36] have to get on board and support all these projects to show Hollywood that hey there is a market

[00:53:43] so you can get some of the money, some of our money but also the better they get the more

[00:53:48] they're available, the more popular they are, the more people who don't know the message will hear it.

[00:53:55] So get behind the great projects that honor and glorify God, sound of freedom, nefarious.

[00:54:02] Come out in Jesus name, Jesus revolution and the one who just showed you enemies within the church.

[00:54:07] So as I wrap up the final episode of Gifts of Warry I want to tell you a little bit about what Bob

[00:54:13] and I are going to do coming up starting this fall for those that don't know. A lot of people

[00:54:21] close to us are family and friends and church family know a lot about it. As I mentioned before

[00:54:27] on many episodes for the last four and a half years I've worked as a volunteer for Salt and Light

[00:54:32] Coalition which is a group that works with women who have survived sex trafficking. Some of those

[00:54:38] women were bought and sold as young as eight, nine years old by family, family who needed their

[00:54:47] next fix or maybe had waste all their money gambling and needed to pay rent for a variety of reasons.

[00:54:56] Some of these women were sold in a trafficking by a boyfriend and said, hey honey I'm

[00:55:01] we're going to lose our house. Once you go do this it makes the money for us and then do it again

[00:55:08] makes the money for us and then eventually they're stuck. So sex trafficking is real

[00:55:15] and these are real human beings these are real image bears of God. We as humans are made in God's

[00:55:25] image so for the last four and a half years I've gone and taught improv to other different cohorts

[00:55:31] as they come through and it's not to prepare them to be on stage, it's not a performance-based

[00:55:37] class. What this is it's a workshop to help develop communication skills, to develop creativity,

[00:55:44] to happen to the creative cortex that childlike creativity that was nearly snuffed out due to

[00:55:51] the hell on earth that they went through. It's to develop their ability to speak for themselves

[00:55:57] so find their own voice. Also frankly it's just it's an hour or a month that they get to laugh like

[00:56:05] they have no cares in the world and the unspoken one that was unspoken when I first started

[00:56:11] and the one that I totally will never take for granted is these ladies who have been through hell

[00:56:19] on earth because of men have a positive healthy interaction relationship with a man who comes in

[00:56:29] and I just love them, encourage them, teach them improv, let them laugh let them have a great time.

[00:56:36] So I've been doing that once a month for the last four years so when I got laid off in October of

[00:56:43] 2022 the day I was getting laid off I was teaching a workshop there for public speaking

[00:56:49] and in that class and that public speaking class we felt God move and we saw chains broken

[00:56:57] and we saw two of the ladies in that class who had never publicly shared their story

[00:57:02] they felt the freedom to share their story for the first time ever in that workshop.

[00:57:08] And at first it was like okay I'm getting laid off I'm losing my job God's giving me a pat on

[00:57:12] the back and saying I've got you. Well that was part of it but through prayer through talking with

[00:57:18] our pastor realized that that was God saying it was time for me to get myself into full-time ministry

[00:57:26] using my gifts talents and passions my experiences to help up more people that have survived

[00:57:32] great trauma like trafficking and neglect and abuse. So starting this fall my wife and I will be

[00:57:40] improv missionaries we'll be using improv to reach men women and children who've survived

[00:57:49] intense unimaginable trauma and hell on earth. I can't overstate that it was hell on earth

[00:57:58] they survived and I am going to be blessed to be part of aftercare for many victims and survivors

[00:58:05] of trafficking and abuse and neglect. And my wife and I we've set up a Facebook page we're getting ready

[00:58:11] to launch we're going to start our official fundraising in September and as soon as that

[00:58:18] as soon as we have enough race to the assemblies of God which is who will be our oversight.

[00:58:24] So this isn't just Bobby and I running out doing our own thing we're actually

[00:58:28] for oversight, for accountability and also for confidence for those that want to support us but

[00:58:35] want to make sure that their dollars will be used correctly. We're going through the assemblies of God

[00:58:41] which is where I am a licensed minister through the assemblies Bobby is a credentialed minister

[00:58:48] through the assemblies and as we enter this new season starting September will be missionaries

[00:58:55] our first task is to raise our budgets that we have money for travel we'll have money to live on

[00:59:01] because the organizations that I want to work with they don't have a budget to bring in an improv

[00:59:05] coach they don't have the budget to fly me out they don't have the budget to pay me enough for

[00:59:10] a state pay our rent and to have a home. So that's why we're counting on the body of Christ to support

[00:59:16] what we're going to do and so that's why we've got the Facebook page up it's available now you

[00:59:21] like it you follow it and we'll post updates as we get closer to the time of our official launch

[00:59:26] we'll be creating a newsletter saying keep in touch office social media so you don't have to worry

[00:59:31] about logging into Facebook or worrying about the Facebook algorithms filtering out our results

[00:59:38] but Bobby and I are going to use improv as a way to minister to many many people part of our fun

[00:59:45] raising is going to also be doing improv shows and improv workshops at churches to equip more leaders

[00:59:50] within the body of Christ to use improv to help people overcome trauma whether it's abuse from

[00:59:57] apparent or sexual abuse or it's trafficking so that's our heart that's our mission to use

[01:00:06] the gift of laughter the gift of creativity to help these survivors rediscover their voice

[01:00:16] to find their voice maybe for the first time to find the ability to laugh in the face of

[01:00:23] the horrible trauma and memories to laugh at the devil said,

[01:00:26] W can't get me God's got me and find that strength to laugh so that's what we're going to do

[01:00:34] that's part of the reason that the podcast is going on at least a hiatus if not done for good

[01:00:41] but for those of you that are tuning in late or have a second round for the whole time

[01:00:47] I really appreciate you watching and being a part of the district board family

[01:00:51] please keep in touch also please if you're watching like our page it's up now it's available

[01:00:59] not much on it because we're still getting we're still in the beginning with phases of launching

[01:01:04] but if you're somebody that supported us through the Gist of Warp podcast we'd love for you

[01:01:10] to come like share and follow us on our new Facebook page at improv missionaries it'll be at improv

[01:01:21] missionaries we're gonna go out we're gonna spread the gospel through improv and there's a lot

[01:01:27] of things that still need to be finalized and then care of and a Facebook page will be one

[01:01:33] way to keep in touch one way to find out how you can support how you can pray and eventually

[01:01:39] one way that'll be where we'll tell you how you can get involved because there are just in Chicago

[01:01:45] alone over 25,000 people 25,000 people in Chicago who are being traffic as we speak right now

[01:01:56] in that's just Chicago figure more than double that in New York more than triple that in LA

[01:02:03] Sioux Falls South Dakota Sioux Falls South Dakota middle America they have an organization that

[01:02:09] I'm gonna be that I want to work with that works with survivors of sex trafficking this is Sioux Falls

[01:02:14] this isn't a big city this is in the major metropolis Sioux Falls is a decent sized city but

[01:02:19] they have women who've survived trafficking there as well like I said trafficking is a growing

[01:02:30] industry and America is the biggest consumer of sex crimes sex trafficking pornography

[01:02:38] child porn we buy it all America buys it all and in some small way as improv missionaries we want

[01:02:46] to go and help see healing happen for these survivors who've been through hell on earth

[01:02:54] so if you want to come alongside us like our Facebook page reach out to me directly if you have

[01:02:59] any questions maybe you're somebody that hosts a podcast or you had your media and you have a

[01:03:04] talk show or something like that and you'd like to have me come on and do an appearance I would

[01:03:08] love to share what we're doing with improv missionaries and and to share a story so as a wrap up

[01:03:17] thank you so much for being a part of gift of glory thank you so much for liking and following our

[01:03:23] new page at improv missionaries there'll be a website to come there'll be a newsletter to come

[01:03:29] and also we'll share with you how to support our mission because like I said the organizations

[01:03:36] and the people we want to serve they don't have a budget to fly us out so we want to go and serve

[01:03:43] and just count on the body of price to rally around us to help raise our funds allow us to have a

[01:03:49] home so that we have some place to come home to someplace to rest relax take off that mantle

[01:03:56] of the evil that we're encountering as we do this ministry you know the survivors are not

[01:04:01] even themselves but we will hear about the evil we will see the scars of the evil and that's a

[01:04:07] mantle that you have to shed when you come home because the enemy will use that to attack and limit us

[01:04:15] the spiritual war is real nefarious is not just some queuing on the conspiracy theory

[01:04:22] it's a real look at what the enemy is trying to come to do the believers and non-believers of light

[01:04:30] there is a spiritual battle happening there's spiritual war and if you don't believe

[01:04:34] they're wearing a spiritual war you're losing trust me you are losing if you doubt that there's a

[01:04:42] spiritual war happening so with that I'm going in I hope that kind of ending uh gifts of worry

[01:04:50] a podcast on a low note but but let me end on a high note no matter how dark it gets no matter

[01:04:56] how much evil is afoot no matter how many demonic voices and oppressions are happening

[01:05:03] there is a god he is in control and he sent a savior Jesus Christ to save us from all of this

[01:05:12] we only need to reach out and receive him as we talked about in the devotional day that the top

[01:05:17] of the uh the the show we defeated him the enemy by the blood of the lamb

[01:05:25] and by our testimony so if Jesus has changed your life have he saved you for eternity

[01:05:33] tell somebody inspire them encourage them that's what this podcast has been about for the last

[01:05:40] four years and maybe we'll pick it up later but for now this will be our last episode uh
