[00:02:17] gettin' nice gifts and just havin' some great time

[00:02:20] Especially couples

[00:02:21] Especially if there's some couples out there who needed to

[00:02:24] reunite that fire a little bit

[00:02:26] Just need to get some more of that spice

[00:02:28] Some of that Kanye, that jalapeno and that chili ghost pepper

[00:02:32] Back in that relationship, you know what I'm sayin'?

[00:02:35] Dice need to get that thing spicy a little bit more

[00:02:38] Yeah, but it keep it spicy

[00:02:40] Don't let it get unspicy

[00:02:42] That's, yeah, keep some spices on hand

[00:02:46] Yeah, definitely keep some spices on hand

[00:02:49] Thank y'all for waking up with us, another bless there

[00:02:51] We got a lit show for y'all again

[00:02:53] Stop playin', y'all already know

[00:02:54] It wasn't gonna slow down

[00:02:56] I know y'all are like, I didn't keep pullin' these off

[00:02:58] Listen, God do it

[00:03:00] God keep puttin' this fire in us

[00:03:02] And we just continue to just share this, you know

[00:03:05] Ministry in a way that, yeah listen

[00:03:07] We wanna shake some things up

[00:03:09] Have some conversations that we know

[00:03:11] Maybe the church is not havin'

[00:03:12] Or maybe the church needs to talk about it a little bit more

[00:03:14] So, yeah, real talk conversation today

[00:03:17] Gonna be a little different

[00:03:19] We gonna talk about it, infidelity

[00:03:22] I know this is one that's tough for a lot of people

[00:03:25] And yeah, it still needs to be talked about

[00:03:27] So, I know it's lovers week

[00:03:29] But for some, this might not be everybody's situation, hun, dice

[00:03:34] No, it might not be

[00:03:36] I hope it is

[00:03:38] You know what I'm sayin'?

[00:03:39] I think it is what it is

[00:03:41] It's a part of it

[00:03:42] I think if you're gonna be married

[00:03:44] Or if you are married

[00:03:45] You need to know about, you know

[00:03:47] How you might end up not married

[00:03:50] I think you gotta know, you know

[00:03:52] The risk and all that

[00:03:53] So it's a good conversation to have

[00:03:55] I think some people may be afraid of it

[00:03:57] But I think you get a better quality of life

[00:04:00] When you can talk about the things

[00:04:02] That could possibly happen in a situation

[00:04:05] So, this is a good one

[00:04:07] This is a good one

[00:04:08] I think some people really need to hear this one

[00:04:09] You know

[00:04:11] So, love is love

[00:04:13] But you can't tell love how to love you

[00:04:15] So...

[00:04:17] This is definitely a loving conversation

[00:04:20] Really loving conversation

[00:04:22] Definitely love and definitely

[00:04:24] Like I said, a better quality of life

[00:04:28] Better quality of life, yeah

[00:04:30] When I know what I'm up against

[00:04:31] And I can deal with it, you know

[00:04:33] I mean that's the hardest part in life

[00:04:36] It's not knowing

[00:04:37] That's the hardest part

[00:04:39] Not knowing what a thing is

[00:04:41] So, then you can deal with it differently

[00:04:44] It ain't no different in marriage

[00:04:47] So when you know some things

[00:04:49] You can deal with some things

[00:04:50] But this is gonna be a good one

[00:04:51] So y'all stick around and share with somebody

[00:04:53] Yeah, love is weak

[00:04:55] Love is day

[00:04:57] I don't know

[00:04:58] Some of y'all love going in this week

[00:05:00] But some of y'all love will be renewed

[00:05:02] I've been saying that since Monday

[00:05:04] She's been on business about saying that since Monday

[00:05:07] This is gonna be...

[00:05:11] If you make it to Saturday, you are blessed

[00:05:13] Yeah, that's right

[00:05:14] That's right, we're gonna see who makes it to next week

[00:07:35] Inspirational wear

[00:07:37] For you and your family

[00:07:38] Everything from cubs to shirts

[00:07:40] Make sure you stop by today

[00:07:41] And I would say

[00:07:42] Stop by every week

[00:07:43] Because we are definitely doing a whole relaunch

[00:07:46] And y'all don't want to miss this

[00:07:47] This is about to be a whole situation

[00:07:50] So yeah

[00:07:51] CHHUniversity.com guys

[00:07:53] Now listen

[00:07:54] I think we're rolling into what day it is, right?

[00:07:57] Yeah, come on

[00:07:58] This is a controversial day for me

[00:08:03] I like the way you said that

[00:08:04] Controversial day

[00:08:06] Today is National Gum Drop Day

[00:08:08] And we're not talking about the gummies

[00:08:10] So some of you are like

[00:08:11] Uh, y'all mean gummies?

[00:08:12] No, not gummies

[00:08:13] Or gummy worms

[00:08:15] Or gummy bears

[00:08:16] It's gumdrop

[00:08:17] So there's a difference

[00:08:18] Between a gumdrop and a gummy

[00:08:20] Gumdrops are a tasty, colorful, chewy candy

[00:08:23] Made with gelatin

[00:08:24] And then it's covered in sugar

[00:08:26] And it comes in a variety of flavors

[00:08:28] Now gumdrops take things to the extreme

[00:08:31] Because they make spicy

[00:08:33] Candy

[00:08:34] And um

[00:08:36] I don't like black licorice

[00:08:37] So this is where me and gumdrops fall apart

[00:08:39] Uh, I just

[00:08:40] I just don't

[00:08:41] I don't even understand who put that in a gumdrop

[00:08:43] And why?

[00:08:44] But god bless you

[00:08:45] But gumdrops obviously are super super popular

[00:08:48] Uh, today is the day we actually observe that day

[00:08:51] You can hashtag National Gumdrop Day

[00:08:53] On all of your social media posts

[00:08:55] But what made gumdrops blow up

[00:08:57] Was the game Candy Land

[00:09:00] Oh, yeah

[00:09:01] They got a whole like candy

[00:09:03] Gumdrop Mountain

[00:09:04] All kind of stuff going on in the game of Candy

[00:09:06] Candy Land is like super supportive of gumdrops

[00:09:10] But uh

[00:09:12] Here's the deal

[00:09:13] They don't have very many calories in them

[00:09:14] Some people love them for that

[00:09:15] It's just when it comes to the spice

[00:09:18] Licorice, clove and mint

[00:09:21] I don't want gumdrops like that

[00:09:22] Just give me like the strawberry, orange, lemon

[00:09:25] You know

[00:09:26] And I don't know what the green one is

[00:09:27] I'm gonna guess it's lime or something

[00:09:29] But you know, gumdrops can be added to a variety of baked goods

[00:09:33] Cookies, breads, cakes

[00:09:35] You name it

[00:09:36] I've never done that

[00:09:37] But personally, uh, you know

[00:09:39] If you want to do it

[00:09:40] Hey, more power to you

[00:09:41] But just hashtag National Gumdrop Day

[00:09:43] On your social media posts

[00:09:47] So with the orange slices

[00:09:49] Or the strawberry slices

[00:09:50] That would be considered

[00:09:51] But the orange slices are the only

[00:09:54] Part of a gumdrop

[00:09:55] I think anybody even cares about

[00:09:58] No, facts

[00:09:59] Because until you said it

[00:10:00] I didn't even realize that was an insane fact

[00:10:02] They go hard

[00:10:03] They go hard

[00:10:04] Especially if they fresh

[00:10:05] Oh my goodness

[00:10:06] That watermelon joined two as well

[00:10:08] That watermelon's good, but

[00:10:09] The liquor, if you like licorice

[00:10:11] I don't know

[00:10:12] Maybe inbox me and tell me why

[00:10:16] Is Twizzler considered a licorice?

[00:10:18] Twizzler is a licorice

[00:10:20] But it's not a gumdrop

[00:10:21] A gumdrop is gonna be chewy

[00:10:23] You know, it's gonna be coated

[00:10:24] It's coated with sugar

[00:10:25] It's just a little bit different

[00:10:27] On the consistency, but yeah

[00:10:29] Yeah, it doesn't

[00:10:30] I'm in favor of it

[00:10:31] I was talking to y'all

[00:10:32] I'm in favor of them dots

[00:10:33] I said a lot of them

[00:10:35] Yeah, we used to throw them things at each other

[00:10:38] When we got them

[00:10:40] We were in Halloween candy

[00:10:42] When we got a word of teams

[00:10:43] So yeah

[00:10:44] I'm not a fan of them either

[00:10:45] Wow, National Gumdrop Day

[00:10:47] Well, shout out to everybody who still like them

[00:10:50] Bless your life

[00:10:51] No, no, no, no slices

[00:10:52] Don't get the Twizzler

[00:10:53] Don't go hard

[00:10:54] The orange slices go hard

[00:10:55] Or that watermelon

[00:10:56] Yeah, the orange slices are the watermelon

[00:10:59] But it's just some of them flavors, man

[00:11:01] I don't know who was just in the kitchen

[00:11:02] Like yeah, maybe we should do a

[00:11:04] No

[00:11:06] No, no, no

[00:11:07] Yeah, we passed

[00:11:08] We passed

[00:11:11] All right, listen, don't touch that down

[00:11:12] Coming up, we got one of the best to do it

[00:11:14] When you talk about one of the legends

[00:11:16] In sports broadcasting

[00:11:18] Chris Broussard will be joining us

[00:11:20] To talk about a little bit of everything

[00:11:22] Hip-hop

[00:11:23] We're gonna talk about faith

[00:11:54] He has been doing it at a high level

[00:12:10] Of the Kings movement

[00:12:12] So without further ado

[00:12:13] Y'all know who it is

[00:12:14] Our brother Chris Broussard

[00:12:15] What's going on, Chris?

[00:12:16] What's up, y'all

[00:12:17] Thank you for having me

[00:12:19] DJ Focus and Dice

[00:12:21] It's great to be on with you guys

[00:12:23] Listen, we appreciate your time

[00:12:25] And we know you've been

[00:12:27] Talking about a lot of things

[00:12:29] Via social media as well as

[00:12:31] You know, scores on your show

[00:12:33] But we're going to have a healthy conversation

[00:12:35] Hip-hop and definitely talk about everything

[00:12:37] Kings moving has coming up

[00:12:38] With the conference

[00:12:39] But first, I got to ask

[00:12:41] Come on out the gate

[00:12:42] I definitely want to hear

[00:12:43] Your thoughts and opinions

[00:12:44] What was your thoughts and opinions?

[00:12:46] I think you kind of said something about it

[00:12:47] But I really want to hear

[00:12:48] A little bit more of your heart

[00:12:49] About Lil Nas X

[00:12:50] Making the J. Christ song

[00:12:52] The imagery in the video

[00:12:55] With the communion and everything

[00:12:57] What was your thoughts when you sat down

[00:12:59] And you heard the song

[00:13:00] Saw the video

[00:13:01] What was your thoughts?

[00:13:03] I have to be honest

[00:13:05] I mean, I'm aware that he put a song out

[00:13:08] Called J. Christ

[00:13:09] I have not listened to it

[00:13:11] I've read a little bit about it

[00:13:14] But I don't know the content of it

[00:13:17] My feeling going in

[00:13:19] Obviously, I'm aware of the videos

[00:13:21] He had made prior

[00:13:23] With the devil

[00:13:25] And you know, I think it was

[00:13:27] Even getting involved in sexual acts

[00:13:29] With the devil and all this stuff

[00:13:31] So obviously

[00:13:33] I'm very disagreeable with that stuff

[00:13:36] And my feeling was

[00:13:38] If he had a legitimate

[00:13:40] Conversion to Christ

[00:13:42] Then praise the Lord

[00:13:44] That would be awesome

[00:13:45] But from what I read

[00:13:48] That's not what his song is about

[00:13:50] So it seems like he may be

[00:13:52] Kind of making a mockery

[00:13:54] Of Christ and the church

[00:13:57] And so I would

[00:13:59] You know, obviously be against

[00:14:01] What he's doing in that regard

[00:14:03] But I'm not

[00:14:04] I don't know the lyrics

[00:14:06] I haven't heard the song

[00:14:07] I'm not a Nas X fan period

[00:14:09] Just, I mean

[00:14:11] Musically, artistically

[00:14:13] Spiritually

[00:14:15] So I just

[00:14:17] I don't really think much

[00:14:19] About that brother

[00:14:21] But I don't know enough

[00:14:23] About the song

[00:14:25] To comment other than that

[00:14:27] Were the lyrics

[00:14:29] Anti-Christ type lyrics?

[00:14:33] Chris, we already know

[00:14:35] He's trying

[00:14:37] He's reaching

[00:14:38] I think he's sharing

[00:14:39] That God is doing something

[00:14:41] But it just

[00:14:43] There's zero accountability there

[00:14:45] So, yeah

[00:14:47] It's definitely anti-Christ

[00:14:49] When he put his

[00:14:51] I did read something about him being on the cross

[00:14:53] Like his face was on the cross

[00:14:55] He was on the cross

[00:14:57] Is he in a dress or something like that?

[00:14:59] He had a dress on

[00:15:00] He's been pregnant

[00:15:01] He always does something

[00:15:03] Anti-Christ

[00:15:05] To draw attention to himself

[00:15:07] I would just say obviously

[00:15:09] We want to pray for the brother

[00:15:11] But

[00:15:13] And he's not beyond saving

[00:15:15] Obviously Paul used to persecute Christians and stuff

[00:15:18] So we know anybody can be

[00:15:20] Touched by the Lord and redeemed

[00:15:22] But I also think that a lot of times

[00:15:24] In the church

[00:15:26] You know

[00:15:28] Anybody that kind of says

[00:15:30] Anything about Jesus

[00:15:32] We kind of let it go

[00:15:34] Or we take it as a positive

[00:15:36] And I think we have to

[00:15:39] Hold people more biblically accountable

[00:15:42] For what they're doing

[00:15:44] I even remember

[00:15:46] When Kanye made Jesus Walks

[00:15:48] Which was a great song

[00:15:50] Artistically, that was a great song

[00:15:52] But I think he got nominated

[00:15:54] For like

[00:15:56] Gospel song of the year or something like that

[00:15:58] And I didn't

[00:16:00] It wasn't

[00:16:01] You know when you look at the content

[00:16:03] The content was fine

[00:16:04] But it wasn't really

[00:16:06] It wasn't the best gospel hip hop song

[00:16:08] Of the

[00:16:10] That year and one thing that does

[00:16:12] Bother me and this happens in churches

[00:16:14] A lot of churches

[00:16:16] And pastors

[00:16:18] Will embrace

[00:16:20] A secular artist

[00:16:22] Who does one Christian song

[00:16:24] Or he may not even do Christian songs

[00:16:26] He may do

[00:16:28] Just what we might call conscious hip hop

[00:16:30] But he also has a lot of

[00:16:32] A lot of his catalog is

[00:16:34] Negative and sinful

[00:16:36] And all that stuff

[00:16:38] And a lot of pastors will embrace a rapper like that

[00:16:40] Bring them to their church

[00:16:42] To speak or maybe even to perform

[00:16:44] Or shout out their songs

[00:16:46] But they never

[00:16:48] Shout out or support

[00:16:50] The actual Christian hip hop

[00:16:52] Artists who are doing it 100%

[00:16:54] For Christ

[00:16:56] And that's the thing, the world

[00:16:58] It shouldn't be this way in the church

[00:17:00] That we'll embrace

[00:17:02] Someone talking about Jesus

[00:17:04] Or God as long

[00:17:06] As they also talking about

[00:17:08] And glorifying sin

[00:17:10] But if you go full bore for God

[00:17:12] And you no longer glorifying sin

[00:17:14] That's when they don't want

[00:17:16] You know, anything to do with you

[00:17:18] And won't promote it and stuff

[00:17:20] So yeah, I mean

[00:17:22] Like I said, just pray for that brother

[00:17:24] But we shouldn't partake in his foolishness

[00:17:26] Or even like act like

[00:17:28] It's okay, you're God's working with him

[00:17:30] You know, because

[00:17:32] That's just

[00:17:34] That's just ridiculous the stuff he's putting out there

[00:17:36] Lil Nas X

[00:17:38] We talked about it

[00:17:40] And I'm glad you brought up that with the church

[00:17:42] We talked about chasing purpose over popularity

[00:17:44] And I think to your point

[00:17:46] That's the reason why

[00:17:48] A lot of the pastors will embrace

[00:17:50] The mainstream artists, athletes, entertainers

[00:17:52] Whoever it may be because they're so popular

[00:17:54] And they want to bring them to have that

[00:17:56] Shock value for the congregation

[00:17:58] And everything so

[00:18:00] Yeah, you right

[00:18:02] You came on here

[00:18:04] I'm not tripping

[00:18:06] Yeah, do that

[00:18:08] We've seen it in real time

[00:18:10] It shouldn't be happening

[00:18:12] And I'm gonna be honest

[00:18:14] There are celebrities

[00:18:16] That I would not bring to a king event

[00:18:18] Now they welcome to come

[00:18:20] And you know

[00:18:22] Get fed and hear the word

[00:18:24] And worship and all that

[00:18:26] But as far as honoring

[00:18:28] A celebrity

[00:18:30] Or like if I know

[00:18:32] They're not living in accordance with the word

[00:18:34] Or you ain't even trying

[00:18:36] They're not trying to live in accordance with the word

[00:18:38] I'm not gonna

[00:18:40] Honor them at a king event

[00:18:42] I'm not gonna have them speak at a king event

[00:18:44] Because that's dangerous

[00:18:46] Because then

[00:18:48] You got people that say

[00:18:50] Oh, wow, well he's getting honored

[00:18:52] And I know he's living like this

[00:18:54] So I guess I can live like that

[00:18:56] I can do those things even though they're

[00:18:58] In disagreement with scripture

[00:19:00] So yeah, we just

[00:19:02] We don't need to seek popularity

[00:19:04] We just need to do guys will

[00:19:06] And I'm just gonna keep it real

[00:19:08] Not that I've been perfect

[00:19:10] But I'm an example

[00:19:12] That just seek guys will man

[00:19:14] And God will exalt you how he wants to

[00:19:16] And if he don't exalt you

[00:19:18] In the mainstream

[00:19:20] It wasn't meant for you to be exalted in the mainstream

[00:19:22] But you don't need to sell out

[00:19:24] Because it's not worth it man

[00:19:26] We see all the time we see

[00:19:28] Men and women

[00:19:30] Selling out

[00:19:32] You know

[00:19:34] As far as men

[00:19:36] Giving up their manhood

[00:19:38] Women letting themselves be used

[00:19:40] And abused

[00:19:42] To get some fame

[00:19:44] To get in movies

[00:19:46] To get in a record deal

[00:19:48] And I'm telling you man

[00:19:50] You can have all the money

[00:19:52] You can have all the fame

[00:19:54] That you want

[00:19:56] But if you can't look yourself

[00:19:58] In the mirror

[00:20:00] And be satisfied with who you are

[00:20:02] And if you know

[00:20:04] You've done certain things

[00:20:06] Then it's hard

[00:20:08] To deal with and

[00:20:10] I'm not gonna mention any names

[00:20:12] But I will say this I was talking about my wife

[00:20:14] Recently about this

[00:20:16] This is a safe place to mention names

[00:20:18] If you want to this is a safe place

[00:20:20] In case you had a cat with you spirit

[00:20:22] In case you had a cat with you spirit

[00:20:24] You know what I will say

[00:20:26] Right the cat with you spirit

[00:20:28] I will say this

[00:20:30] If you look at so many

[00:20:32] Of our heroes

[00:20:34] And legends

[00:20:36] And people that all of us love

[00:20:38] As far as their music

[00:20:40] And things a Michael Jackson

[00:20:42] A Whitney Houston

[00:20:44] And you know

[00:20:46] You can go on and on

[00:20:48] Even under Lisa Franklin

[00:20:50] Not the end but you know

[00:20:52] A lot of things she's done with in her life

[00:20:54] These are heroes

[00:20:56] Legends and we all love their music

[00:20:58] They were fantastic

[00:21:00] But you look at their lives

[00:21:02] And especially

[00:21:04] Some of them look at how they ended

[00:21:06] Tragically

[00:21:08] And I was talking with my wife

[00:21:10] And again there's more people we could bring up

[00:21:12] But I was like you know honestly

[00:21:14] I mean when you look at some of these people

[00:21:16] It may have been better

[00:21:18] Had they never gotten the fame

[00:21:20] Their quality of life

[00:21:22] Now we would have missed out

[00:21:24] On the great music they created

[00:21:26] But when you look at the scars

[00:21:28] You look at the unhappiness

[00:21:30] You look at the lack of peace

[00:21:32] You look at the drug use

[00:21:34] You look at the you know

[00:21:36] Just all the stuff they do

[00:21:38] A lot of these people aren't happy

[00:21:40] A lot of these people don't have peace

[00:21:42] They don't have joy even though they have

[00:21:44] Millions of people that love them

[00:21:46] And that fawn over them

[00:21:48] And so is it

[00:21:50] I mean look I just can sum it up this way

[00:21:52] What is it profit a man

[00:21:54] Or woman to gain the whole world

[00:21:56] But lose their soul

[00:21:58] So it's not worth

[00:22:00] Man I just want that message

[00:22:02] To come across so much to young people

[00:22:04] And parents

[00:22:06] Cause so many people push their children

[00:22:08] Or the children

[00:22:10] Want so badly to be

[00:22:12] Famous and rich

[00:22:14] And they will do

[00:22:16] Anything to get it

[00:22:18] And it's not worth it

[00:22:20] I have a level of fame

[00:22:22] Praise the lord

[00:22:24] But this alone man you can't live off fame

[00:22:26] You can't

[00:22:28] You can't live off people wanting to take a photo

[00:22:30] With you, people want your autograph

[00:22:32] People cheering you

[00:22:34] That's nice in the moment

[00:22:36] But today you have to live with yourself

[00:22:38] You have to be able to be at peace

[00:22:40] With yourself

[00:22:42] And so a lot of famous people unfortunately

[00:22:44] Don't have that so

[00:22:46] Man you're right about that

[00:22:48] Chris listen

[00:22:50] You are so bold in your faith

[00:22:52] You're very controversial at times

[00:22:54] Because I know you get behind some people

[00:22:56] Or get under people's skin

[00:22:58] How are you able to be popular

[00:23:00] And still walk in purpose

[00:23:02] 24 hours a day

[00:23:04] And still they welcome you

[00:23:06] Like they're excited about you

[00:23:08] You missed ESPN

[00:23:10] You missed the fox

[00:23:12] You have this amazing gift

[00:23:14] That

[00:23:16] People just respect what you say

[00:23:18] When it comes to sports

[00:23:20] But they also respect what you say

[00:23:22] When it comes to community

[00:23:24] And definitely respect what you say

[00:23:26] When it comes to your faith

[00:23:28] How does that work

[00:23:30] How did you make that happen

[00:23:32] And I would say there's a few things

[00:23:34] One

[00:23:36] Anybody that's been around me

[00:23:38] Whether they're believers or non-believers

[00:23:40] I'm

[00:23:42] You don't even like saying

[00:23:44] You humble because that's almost

[00:23:46] Like being arrogant

[00:23:48] Right saying you humble

[00:23:50] But I treat people

[00:23:52] Like I don't

[00:23:54] I don't

[00:23:56] I'm not arrogant

[00:23:58] And even when I'm with non-believers

[00:24:00] People around the NBA

[00:24:02] Ask them

[00:24:04] They know how I'm living

[00:24:06] But I'm not looking down on

[00:24:08] Players that aren't living for the lord

[00:24:10] Players that might be doing

[00:24:12] Living a certain way

[00:24:14] I'm just going to be who I am

[00:24:16] And then I can relate to them

[00:24:18] On other levels

[00:24:20] And one thing

[00:24:22] That Jesus when you really look at how he walked

[00:24:24] One of the few groups

[00:24:26] Of people he called out were the arrogant

[00:24:28] And I really don't like

[00:24:30] Arrogance

[00:24:32] Especially in the church

[00:24:34] You know, I don't like

[00:24:36] When people are arrogant

[00:24:38] Because everything you got is from God

[00:24:40] Come on

[00:24:42] If you do have a huge mega church

[00:24:44] If you do like me have a platform

[00:24:46] On national television

[00:24:48] You only got it from God

[00:24:50] And he could take it from you

[00:24:52] In the blink of an eye

[00:24:54] So why be arrogant about it

[00:24:56] And then in just trying to be like Jesus

[00:24:58] You're not going to be arrogant

[00:25:00] So I think that's one

[00:25:02] I think also what I would say

[00:25:04] For a lot of believers

[00:25:06] Like how to function in your workplace

[00:25:08] Is

[00:25:10] You know

[00:25:12] You have to be

[00:25:14] The best you can be at your job

[00:25:16] Like Christians should be among the hardest

[00:25:18] Working people

[00:25:20] In the world

[00:25:22] Because everything we do is unto the lord

[00:25:24] So if I'm a

[00:25:26] Janitor, if I'm a school teacher

[00:25:28] If I'm a broadcaster

[00:25:30] A lawyer, a security guard

[00:25:32] I should be the hardest working one

[00:25:34] Or at least one of the hardest working ones

[00:25:36] On our team

[00:25:38] You know and that you have to make yourself

[00:25:42] Irreplaceable as a Christian

[00:25:44] And so

[00:25:46] I try to do my best at my job

[00:25:48] And work hard at it

[00:25:50] I'll give you an example

[00:25:52] If

[00:25:54] Like Colin Kaepernick

[00:25:56] When he knelt for the national anthem

[00:25:58] Ultimately it cost him his job

[00:26:00] In the NFL

[00:26:02] If Patrick Mahomes did the exact same thing

[00:26:04] Do you think it would cost Patrick Mahomes

[00:26:06] Absolutely

[00:26:08] He's irreplaceable

[00:26:10] If LeBron James did that

[00:26:12] You think it would cost LeBron no

[00:26:14] They are irreplaceable

[00:26:16] And I'm saying as a Christian

[00:26:18] We need to work that hard

[00:26:20] That ultimate talent to be one in a million

[00:26:22] Like LeBron and Patrick Mahomes

[00:26:24] But I'm saying if we work hard on our job

[00:26:26] And we do a good job

[00:26:28] Then we make ourselves

[00:26:30] Irreplaceable

[00:26:32] We make ourselves inexpendable

[00:26:34] So even if your coworkers may not agree

[00:26:36] With your lifestyle

[00:26:38] Or your beliefs

[00:26:40] They'll be like yeah but we need him

[00:26:42] Or we need her, she's so good

[00:26:44] And so I think that's another thing

[00:26:46] I think you also have to live it

[00:26:48] Like

[00:26:50] People know what I stand for

[00:26:52] And if I get caught out here

[00:26:54] With a woman or doing something

[00:26:56] Don't do it

[00:26:58] That's against the word

[00:27:00] They love for me to fall into something like that

[00:27:02] But if you live

[00:27:04] Your life with the Lord

[00:27:06] I know when ESPN I had some issues

[00:27:08] Years about 10 years ago

[00:27:10] Some challenges

[00:27:12] For things I've spoken about

[00:27:14] And they went to co-workers

[00:27:16] Of mine that you would know

[00:27:18] I won't even name them

[00:27:20] And asked them what about

[00:27:22] Broussard and all this

[00:27:24] And I'm talking about one in particular

[00:27:26] That said

[00:27:28] Chris is real

[00:27:30] And Chris lives it

[00:27:32] Now I'm going to tell you

[00:27:34] If I had been up at ESPN

[00:27:36] Hitting on the makeup girls

[00:27:38] Getting drunk with my co-workers

[00:27:40] Pussing all the time

[00:27:42] Sleeping with people up there at ESPN

[00:27:44] Jesus

[00:27:46] I probably would have got fired

[00:27:48] But because they knew I was real

[00:27:50] They

[00:27:52] We don't agree with him

[00:27:54] But hey, that's what he believes

[00:27:56] And so I think those are some of the things

[00:27:58] That I would say

[00:28:00] And you know here's the other last thing

[00:28:02] I'm not religious and I know y'all not religious

[00:28:04] Either

[00:28:06] They might describe me as religious

[00:28:08] Because they don't know what to say

[00:28:10] But I just have a relationship with Jesus

[00:28:12] And y'all see me on first things at first

[00:28:14] I'm laughing, I'm joking

[00:28:16] I'm playing around

[00:28:18] I'm just a regular dude

[00:28:20] You're not going to see

[00:28:22] Nothing against this

[00:28:24] You're not going to see me in a Roman college

[00:28:26] You're not going to see me acting all

[00:28:28] religious

[00:28:30] I'm just a regular brother

[00:28:32] That's got a personal relationship with Jesus Christ

[00:28:34] And that's what people can relate to

[00:28:36] And so I would just

[00:28:38] I guess that's what I would say

[00:28:40] That's how I would answer you guys

[00:28:42] That's good, thank you

[00:28:44] Keep it locked, we got to go to a quick break

[00:28:46] We're coming right back with more

[00:28:48] You tune into the fix

[00:28:50] Welcome back, DJ Focus, Dice Gamble

[00:28:52] You tap back into the fix, your source of faith infused

[00:28:54] Hip hop R&B and poetry

[00:28:56] Listen come on talk about it

[00:28:58] I know you've got your conference coming up

[00:29:00] And I want you to talk about some of the classes

[00:29:02] Because I feel like

[00:29:04] You talked about a lot, how men are

[00:29:06] Like you say, can be arrogant at times

[00:29:08] So strong, so talk about the conference

[00:29:10] Some of the classes that you offer

[00:29:12] For the men

[00:29:14] Yeah, I appreciate that

[00:29:16] Focus, like it's the

[00:29:18] King National Summit, we do it every year

[00:29:20] In a different city

[00:29:22] Last year it was in Philadelphia

[00:29:24] The year before that it was Charlotte

[00:29:26] The year before that it was virtual

[00:29:28] But it was connected with the church in Brooklyn

[00:29:30] The year before that it was Atlanta

[00:29:32] We've done Memphis

[00:29:34] And this year March 14th through the

[00:29:36] 17th we're doing it in Cleveland, Ohio

[00:29:38] At the word church

[00:29:40] I believe that's your church Focus, right?

[00:29:42] Absolutely

[00:29:44] It's the great brother, great man of God

[00:29:46] And the summit man

[00:29:48] You've got

[00:29:50] Brothers, you have

[00:29:52] And I'm not just saying this because

[00:29:54] It's king, but you haven't

[00:29:56] Been to anything like this

[00:29:58] Because it's spiritual

[00:30:00] And spiritually empowering

[00:30:02] We have corporate prayer

[00:30:04] We have private prayer with individuals

[00:30:06] Messages that are

[00:30:08] Spiritually empowering

[00:30:10] This year we're going to have Pastor Jerome Gay

[00:30:12] From Raleigh, North Carolina

[00:30:14] Talk about

[00:30:16] The man of God and spiritual warfare

[00:30:18] Like how you

[00:30:20] Fight as a man of God

[00:30:22] Spiritually so that you can walk

[00:30:24] In the victory that Christ died

[00:30:26] And rose to give us

[00:30:28] But we also have workshops

[00:30:30] Where we don't, you know

[00:30:32] We're going to just have message after message

[00:30:34] After message, we want to have workshops

[00:30:36] Where you're being taught

[00:30:38] You know in a small class

[00:30:40] Or classroom setting

[00:30:42] You can ask questions and such

[00:30:44] And so we're going to have one

[00:30:46] On overcoming trauma

[00:30:48] In your life, so mental health

[00:30:50] How to be mentally healthy

[00:30:52] We're going to have a workshop on navigating

[00:30:54] Today's sexual

[00:30:56] Climate

[00:30:58] Any men's event, you know

[00:31:00] That's the most topic, right?

[00:31:02] How to overcome pornography

[00:31:04] And be spiritually

[00:31:06] You know, faithful to you

[00:31:08] Or sexually faithful to your wife

[00:31:10] And all that stuff

[00:31:12] But nowadays obviously

[00:31:14] The climate is different

[00:31:16] So we want to address as a Christian

[00:31:18] How do we navigate this world

[00:31:20] Where all of these

[00:31:22] Other sexual expressions

[00:31:24] Are being pushed and promoted

[00:31:26] That aren't in line with our biblical

[00:31:28] Convictions and how do we live in that?

[00:31:30] We got

[00:31:32] Hold on, hold on, hold on

[00:31:34] I don't want you to go past that sex part

[00:31:36] Because listen, you got my eyebrow left

[00:31:38] What we talking about, only fan pages, strip clubs

[00:31:40] You gotta break that down a little bit

[00:31:42] What you talking about?

[00:31:44] No, I'm talking about living in a world

[00:31:46] Where same sex

[00:31:48] Marriage is promoted

[00:31:50] Where trans genderism

[00:31:52] Is promoted

[00:31:54] To your children

[00:31:56] So you got a nine year old son

[00:31:58] In class

[00:32:00] And they're teaching him about these things

[00:32:02] That go against your Christian beliefs

[00:32:04] How do we navigate that?

[00:32:06] You know, so I had a friend

[00:32:08] Who told me

[00:32:10] A few months ago

[00:32:12] His little son is nine years old

[00:32:14] Been best friends with this little boy for about four years

[00:32:16] And come to find out

[00:32:18] His best friend

[00:32:20] Starts

[00:32:22] You know wants to have a relationship

[00:32:24] I mean at nine years old I don't know what that means

[00:32:26] But his best friend came to him

[00:32:28] Like hey, I want to be more than friends

[00:32:30] And when they went to the person's parents

[00:32:32] His, the parent was like

[00:32:34] Yeah, I just wanted, I didn't want to hindream

[00:32:36] I wanted him to be himself

[00:32:38] You know, and so how do you deal with these things

[00:32:40] As a parent

[00:32:42] And so those are the things we gonna do

[00:32:44] We usually do talk about everything you

[00:32:46] Talked about focus

[00:32:48] But we gotta address these other issues

[00:32:50] Because it is not just

[00:32:52] I mean obviously that's still strong for men

[00:32:54] But these other things too

[00:32:56] We got Lawrence Funderberg

[00:32:58] Y'all might remember former NBA player

[00:33:00] Great man

[00:33:02] A guy, Ohio State star

[00:33:04] He's gonna talk about how to raise

[00:33:06] Successful children

[00:33:08] And citizens of God

[00:33:10] We got Damon Richardson

[00:33:12] Who I call the goat

[00:33:14] Of urban apologetics

[00:33:16] I don't know y'all know I'm from Cleveland

[00:33:18] But I'm not a fan of

[00:33:20] I don't know, y'all know I'm from Cleveland

[00:33:22] When I was in Cleveland

[00:33:24] 20 and 30 years ago

[00:33:26] I was out in the streets

[00:33:28] I would go down to the detention center

[00:33:30] I don't know if it's still on each 22nd

[00:33:32] But I would go down there every week

[00:33:34] I would be out in the projects

[00:33:36] I'd be out there on Woodhill

[00:33:38] And Woodhill and all that

[00:33:40] And I'm debating with brothers

[00:33:42] I'm in the bookstores, the black bookstores

[00:33:44] Debating with the Muslims

[00:33:46] Debating with the Egyptologists

[00:33:48] or the Khometics

[00:33:50] Whatever you want to call it

[00:33:52] All of that

[00:33:54] As y'all know, that is a challenge

[00:33:56] In the black community

[00:33:58] Whether it's in the prisons

[00:34:00] In the colleges, on the streets

[00:34:02] You have to deal with these challenges

[00:34:04] To Christianity

[00:34:06] It's the white man's religion

[00:34:08] It's the black man's religion

[00:34:10] The Hebrew Israelites

[00:34:12] We need to go back to Egypt

[00:34:14] And study Khometic religion

[00:34:16] Damon Richardson is the goat

[00:34:18] When it comes to an urban apologetic

[00:34:20] And

[00:34:22] He's going to do a presentation

[00:34:24] Or a workshop on how to answer

[00:34:26] The questions that the Hebrew Israelites

[00:34:28] And the Muslims and so on and so forth

[00:34:30] Throw at you

[00:34:32] He actually grew up and was raised in the nation of Islam

[00:34:34] I gotta get with him

[00:34:36] I gotta get with him

[00:34:38] Every time I go to the barbershop

[00:34:40] They there, and I promise you Chris

[00:34:42] It's like they be waiting on me

[00:34:44] For appointments only now

[00:34:46] So it's like how is it every single time

[00:34:48] My appointment is

[00:34:50] You just there at 10 o'clock in the morning

[00:34:52] Just

[00:34:54] Right

[00:34:56] They give them credit for their

[00:34:58] Perseverance

[00:35:00] But I'll be looking for Muslims

[00:35:02] I look for black Muslims

[00:35:04] For the nation of Islam

[00:35:06] I'm gonna say this stuff

[00:35:08] My brother was in it for 8 years

[00:35:10] Obviously they've done some good stuff

[00:35:12] In the natural

[00:35:14] But they need Jesus

[00:35:16] And their theology is indefensible

[00:35:18] Alright

[00:35:20] And so

[00:35:22] I mean most people believe that

[00:35:24] Their savior

[00:35:26] Fahar Muhammad

[00:35:28] W.D. Fahar Muhammad

[00:35:30] Was a white man

[00:35:32] Alright and so not W.D. Fahar

[00:35:34] But yeah W.D. Fahar Muhammad

[00:35:36] Was white and they up here talking about the white man's religion

[00:35:38] And all that stuff

[00:35:40] I look for Muslims

[00:35:42] I run them down on the street corners

[00:35:44] And I do like being pie too

[00:35:46] So that's another reason

[00:35:48] Being pie is good

[00:35:50] Being pie is good

[00:35:52] And then also we're going to have

[00:35:54] A workshop of financial

[00:35:56] Finances and growing your finances

[00:35:58] And how to deal with that

[00:36:00] And we're gonna have a hip hop cypher

[00:36:02] That DJ Focus knows about

[00:36:04] You're gonna be in charge of that

[00:36:06] And we are also, check this out

[00:36:12] Minister and wrote a book

[00:36:14] With an Asian brother named Duke Kwan

[00:36:16] Called Reparations

[00:36:18] A Christian called

[00:36:20] A Repentance and Repair

[00:36:22] And he promotes reparations

[00:36:24] In America for African Americans

[00:36:26] And this is a Bible

[00:36:28] Believing Christian

[00:36:30] And he and I are gonna have a discussion

[00:36:32] On stage

[00:36:34] Interview slash discussion

[00:36:36] And we're gonna talk about reparations

[00:36:38] And the church and so on and so forth

[00:36:40] And so

[00:36:42] On top of all of that

[00:36:44] We are gonna have a basketball

[00:36:46] Tournament, the midnight rumble

[00:36:48] Which the word church has done almost annually

[00:37:50] You know, focus and I walked away from the cellars last year

[00:37:52] We walked away with the wind

[00:37:54] And your girl over here been working

[00:37:56] I've been working on my three

[00:37:58] Here's the thing

[00:38:00] I'm gonna ever maybe have some type of co-ed

[00:38:02] Thing

[00:38:04] Going on because the ladies out here

[00:38:06] They see you prepping these fellas but you know

[00:38:08] They asking me

[00:38:10] No, that's a great question and here's what I say

[00:38:12] First of all

[00:38:14] I will say this dice there is an event

[00:38:16] Friday night for

[00:38:18] All people men women

[00:38:20] Community

[00:38:22] People whoever wants to come can come

[00:38:24] That's our crowning ceremony

[00:38:26] And banquet I'll be

[00:38:28] Making there will honor Lawrence

[00:38:30] Funder Burke is an honorary member of the king movement

[00:38:32] We'll

[00:38:34] Bring in new members of the king movement

[00:38:36] It's a dinner banquet so

[00:38:38] Please come to that

[00:38:40] Dice and spread the word

[00:38:42] So that's one thing but as far as

[00:38:44] King and

[00:38:46] Women

[00:38:48] You know

[00:38:50] I feel like women

[00:38:52] They get things done

[00:38:54] Like

[00:38:56] I know how to do it and I'll give you

[00:38:58] An example when we first started king

[00:39:00] It was like four of us that started a prayer

[00:39:02] Call and it was a sister

[00:39:04] That was dating one

[00:39:06] Of the brothers and she she liked the idea

[00:39:08] So she started it with women

[00:39:10] And we were we were getting

[00:39:12] You know we get about 50 brothers on the call

[00:39:14] She started it for women

[00:39:16] And within a few months they had a thousand

[00:39:18] Women on the call

[00:39:20] So I think women

[00:39:22] You know I'm gonna keep it real

[00:39:24] We as black men have to step up

[00:39:26] We as I'm not saying

[00:39:28] The women got it all together

[00:39:30] But we as black men

[00:39:32] Have to step up

[00:39:34] And

[00:39:36] We

[00:39:38] There are a lot of systemic reasons

[00:39:40] There are a lot of systemic obstacles that have been in our path

[00:39:42] But

[00:39:44] We have to

[00:39:46] Be the men that God has called us to be

[00:39:48] The fathers

[00:39:50] The husbands

[00:39:52] The fathers

[00:39:54] The daughters

[00:39:56] The daughters

[00:39:58] The daughters

[00:40:00] Are in the night

[00:40:04] But that is going to be

[00:40:06] Such a great thing

[00:40:08] That is a great thing

[00:40:10] You know

[00:40:12] Kind of like a folly

[00:40:14] But there's

[00:40:16] There's other things that he says

[00:40:18] That I want to do

[00:40:20] They don't believe the black man,

[00:40:23] they've given up on the black man.

[00:40:25] They don't believe the black man,

[00:40:27] and I'm generalizing, is gonna take care of him

[00:40:29] and protect him.

[00:40:31] And so what does the Democratic party promote?

[00:40:34] The government takes care of you.

[00:40:35] The government protects you.

[00:40:37] And so black women are scared.

[00:40:39] I ain't scared of the Republicans.

[00:40:42] I ain't scared of them.

[00:40:44] And I think one of the reasons is because they feel like,

[00:40:47] and they understand some of it is the obstacles

[00:40:51] that have been placed in our path,

[00:40:53] but regardless of that, we have to step up.

[00:40:57] And so King is really trying, I got two daughters.

[00:40:59] Yeah.

[00:41:01] And so I'm like, I'm trying to build up men

[00:41:04] so that not only my daughters,

[00:41:06] but all these daughters out there and women

[00:41:08] got some brothers that will wanna marry,

[00:41:12] you get married, wanna be faithful to their wife,

[00:41:15] wanna raise their children, wanna provide,

[00:41:18] wanna protect, will protect.

[00:41:21] And that's what King is trying to do.

[00:41:24] And I know the women could do it.

[00:41:25] We would love to partner with some sisters,

[00:41:27] but we got enough on our plate

[00:41:30] trying to strengthen the brothers.

[00:41:33] Trying to strengthen the brothers?

[00:41:34] No, that's good.

[00:41:35] That's good.

[00:41:36] I appreciate that.

[00:41:37] No, it's wonderful what you're doing too.

[00:41:38] So yeah, the world is excited and we're watching.

[00:41:43] Absolutely.

[00:41:44] Listen, we appreciate your time, Chris, man.

[00:41:46] You came by shedding gems, man.

[00:41:48] Again, tell the people how they can register

[00:41:50] for the national conference and where they can get tickets

[00:41:54] or what they need to do to be a part of it.

[00:41:56] Thank you, folks.

[00:41:57] Yes, it's March 14th through the 17th,

[00:41:59] the King National Summit.

[00:42:01] You gotta come out.

[00:42:02] You don't have to be a Christian to come.

[00:42:04] Muslims, Hebrews, atheists, all y'all come on out.

[00:42:08] Obviously Christians come on out.

[00:42:10] If you are man, white, black, whatever,

[00:42:13] whatever your race, come on out and get empowered,

[00:42:17] get strengthened.

[00:42:18] You will be in a space where it's men building one another up,

[00:42:23] trying to become the men that God has created us to be.

[00:42:27] The King National Summit at the Word Church.

[00:42:30] And look, let me say this too.

[00:42:32] Let us not let churches divide us.

[00:42:38] That's good.

[00:42:39] Like if you don't go to the Word Church, so what?

[00:42:43] If you're not in, if you're in a different denomination,

[00:42:46] so what?

[00:42:47] At the end of the day, you either for Jesus or you're not.

[00:42:52] And if you were for Jesus, I don't care

[00:42:54] whether you go to a Baptist church,

[00:42:56] a Pentecostal church, a Charismatic church,

[00:42:59] a Methodist church, a Catholic church, whatever.

[00:43:03] Come to the summit, let's unite.

[00:43:05] We have to unite as believers in Christ

[00:43:09] and not let the minor doctrinal differences,

[00:43:12] you know, stop us and keep us from uniting.

[00:43:16] And so you can register for the King Summit

[00:43:19] at kingsummit.org, kingsummit.org.

[00:43:25] And if you're looking for discipleship

[00:43:27] and fellowship with other men, this is the place for you.

[00:43:31] It's gonna be spiritually empowering,

[00:43:33] mentally enlightening and fun.

[00:43:37] And so come on out, there'll be good food to boot

[00:43:40] and good hip hop music.

[00:43:42] I might even bust a rhyme if I feel so good.

[00:43:45] There we go, there we go.

[00:43:47] Listen, you already let me go, plus one.

[00:43:48] Real talk.

[00:43:49] I used to be out there rapping too.

[00:43:51] R's.

[00:43:52] In Cleveland.

[00:43:53] We rapped at Geogal Lake.

[00:43:54] We used to rap in, like I said,

[00:43:56] in the projects out there.

[00:43:57] I rapped at various churches, various,

[00:44:00] we used to throw a Christian hip hop contest

[00:44:03] in Cleveland.

[00:44:04] You know, y'all were in diapers back

[00:44:06] when I was doing that stuff.

[00:44:08] But yeah, we was getting it in.

[00:44:12] Listen, listen, listen, we were in diapers.

[00:44:13] I might have been in veils on the circle.

[00:44:15] I might have been veils on the circle.

[00:44:16] You was out there and you know, and they were like that.

[00:44:19] I was at veils.

[00:44:20] Come on round stoked.

[00:44:20] I met Mike Tyson at veils.

[00:44:23] Yeah.

[00:44:24] Wow.

[00:44:25] I met Mike Tyson at this when he was still the champ.

[00:44:28] Me too.

[00:44:28] And I was going in and he was coming out and I was,

[00:44:31] you know, before I was saved and met him

[00:44:34] and all that.

[00:44:35] Yeah.

[00:44:36] Yeah, he used to be at the Wolf Den too as well.

[00:44:37] I know you know about the Wolf Den too as well.

[00:44:39] Oh yeah.

[00:44:40] We're going to have some conversations.

[00:44:42] That's a whole other life.

[00:44:43] Listen, we're saving, sacrifice now.

[00:44:45] Don't be, don't be damned with Chris.

[00:44:46] Don't be damned with me.

[00:44:47] See?

[00:44:50] All right, we appreciate you, Chris.

[00:44:51] Listen, tell them we got to go through a break.

[00:44:53] We'll be right back with more.

[00:44:54] Keep it live.

[00:44:55] You tune into the fix.

[00:44:56] And the fix is in.

[00:44:57] I'm Justin Adams and this is your

[00:44:59] DeFix Faith and Sports Report.

[00:45:01] You know, every team that competes

[00:45:02] does so with the goal of winning a championship.

[00:45:05] I mean, why else would you want to play the game?

[00:45:07] But a team can achieve its goal without each individual

[00:45:10] using their gifts and competition

[00:45:12] for the benefit of the team.

[00:45:15] Legendary head coach Vince Lombardi once said,

[00:45:17] individual commitment to a group effort,

[00:45:19] that's what makes a team work,

[00:45:21] a company work,

[00:45:23] a society work,

[00:45:24] a civilization work.

[00:45:26] The same idea goes for Christ followers as well.

[00:45:29] We all have special gifts that need to be used

[00:45:31] for the benefit of the body of Christ.

[00:45:33] As athletes, we use our skills

[00:45:35] not only to help the team win,

[00:45:37] but to also share the gospel with others.

[00:45:40] First Peter 4-10 tells us that each one

[00:45:43] should use whatever gift he has received to serve others,

[00:45:47] faithfully administering God's grace

[00:45:49] in its various forms.

[00:45:51] Listen, we should not become jealous

[00:45:53] of someone else's gift,

[00:45:54] nor should we selflessly use the gifts

[00:45:56] that we have been blessed with for our own gain.

[00:45:59] Our gifts are to be used to serve others.

[00:46:02] No matter what sport or position you play,

[00:46:05] ultimately all gifts are given to us by God

[00:46:08] for his glory and to serve others.

[00:46:11] So here's my question for you today.

[00:46:13] How will you use your gifts?

[00:46:14] I'm Justin Adams and this is your The Fixed Faith

[00:46:16] and Sports Report.

[00:46:17] Now back to DJ Folk as a dice gamble.

[00:46:20] All right dice come on,

[00:46:21] we gotta go to the streets report.

[00:46:22] What's going on now?

[00:46:23] What's the streets talking about?

[00:46:25] Yeah, yesterday we had a shooting

[00:46:28] at the Chief's Super Bowl Party Parade in Kansas City.

[00:46:32] This is a super tragedy and it's so unfortunate.

[00:46:37] Obviously they are reporting one person dead,

[00:46:41] 21 others injured shot.

[00:46:45] And this is just unfortunate.

[00:46:48] This is just, it's ridiculous.

[00:46:49] Like you really not-

[00:46:50] Are you just super hopeful right?

[00:46:51] Yeah man, so three other people have been detained

[00:46:57] for investigation but I mean, this is just wild man.

[00:47:01] Like you have a whole parade to celebrate a victory

[00:47:04] and then you have people literally there

[00:47:08] that's just gonna let loose.

[00:47:09] Like it just doesn't even make sense.

[00:47:11] So the victims were transported

[00:47:13] to different hospitals in the area.

[00:47:17] A lot of them with life threatening diseases.

[00:47:21] I mean, you got kids going to the children's

[00:47:23] Children's Mercy City Hospital.

[00:47:27] It's just like,

[00:47:30] you know, so the shootings took place

[00:47:33] west of Union Station, outside near our garage

[00:47:37] where this is when the Chief's fans were actually leaving

[00:47:40] and it's just unfortunate.

[00:47:44] Like they recovered one firearm

[00:47:46] and they still have no idea of a motive

[00:47:49] but like about a million people had been expected

[00:47:54] in out of this parade man.

[00:47:57] So it's just really, really wild

[00:48:00] because I mean, I don't know if you've ever been,

[00:48:03] I don't know, I was gonna ask you

[00:48:04] to have you ever been around a shooting.

[00:48:05] I'm gonna assume you've been around guns being shot.

[00:48:08] I have definitely been around guns being shot

[00:48:10] and shots being fired like close

[00:48:13] and it causes PTSD.

[00:48:16] Like you, like, I mean,

[00:48:18] I've looked down a couple barrels of guns, you know?

[00:48:21] I mean, from rifles to handhills.

[00:48:24] I mean, you just name it.

[00:48:25] Like it doesn't go away.

[00:48:28] You know what I'm saying?

[00:48:29] Like it just don't go away, man.

[00:48:31] So I feel super sorry for the people

[00:48:34] who have family in the hospital,

[00:48:38] you know, just y'all just was trying to have a good time

[00:48:41] and then here we go, you know, I'm down.

[00:48:44] That's exactly what I was just thinking about, Dice.

[00:48:46] I'm saying this is a celebration.

[00:48:49] This is a celebration.

[00:48:50] What is there to pull a gun out at a celebration for?

[00:48:54] Well, they had a lot of thank God for the police.

[00:48:56] See, all y'all was talking about defundable.

[00:48:58] They had like over 800 people out, 800 cops out of this thing,

[00:49:02] you know, because the police were heavy

[00:49:03] because it was a huge beret with, like I said,

[00:49:06] almost a million people.

[00:49:06] So I'm just glad I'm grateful to God that it's like,

[00:49:10] at least you had enough police on site that, you know,

[00:49:15] you know, you were able, you know, they were able to contain it.

[00:49:19] But it's just like, man, you know, what are you doing?

[00:49:23] Like, get your life together.

[00:49:24] You know, all of you think it's OK to take another man or woman's life.

[00:49:29] You know what I mean?

[00:49:30] Like you got to answer to God for that.

[00:49:34] I mean, and this ain't it.

[00:49:36] Like you think you just get taken out.

[00:49:38] No, OK, that was it. This ain't it.

[00:49:40] This ain't it.

[00:49:41] So and then here's the deal.

[00:49:43] Like I said, praying for the families,

[00:49:45] praying for the people in the hospital.

[00:49:47] This is absolutely ridiculous.

[00:49:49] Like you should be able to go on the street and celebrate,

[00:49:51] especially when you win something, you know what I mean?

[00:49:53] Like absolutely to hang out with your friends and family.

[00:49:56] And I'm praying that it doesn't like

[00:49:59] hinder people from wanting to hang out again.

[00:50:02] But our hearts and prayers go out to all of the victims.

[00:50:05] And this is just absolutely ridiculous.

[00:50:07] And it's unfortunate,

[00:50:10] but this is the world we live in now is

[00:50:15] people think they have the right to just do what they want to do.

[00:50:18] They don't.

[00:50:19] Yeah.

[00:50:20] I don't understand it all.

[00:50:22] I know we we had the opportunity to celebrate and had a parade

[00:50:25] in 2016 when the Cleveland Cavaliers won

[00:50:28] and we have well over a million people here here in the city.

[00:50:31] And when I tell you, everybody was high fiving,

[00:50:34] hugging each other, just glad and grateful to have a championship in our city.

[00:50:40] No one was thinking about that.

[00:50:41] There was no racism issues.

[00:50:43] I'm serious. I was down there in the thick of it.

[00:50:45] And I would just remember literally all day there were no fights.

[00:50:49] There was no nothing went down.

[00:50:51] Everybody just high fived each other.

[00:50:53] You had kids out playing.

[00:50:55] It was beautiful just to come together

[00:50:57] and just to celebrate this victory for us as fans who listen,

[00:51:01] support our teams and just happy our teams won

[00:51:04] if you are a sports fan and just what it does to the morale for the city.

[00:51:08] So this really is sad.

[00:51:10] And I listen when you told me about it, I'm thinking this was like some type of

[00:51:15] something, you know, I would never have thought it would have been after

[00:51:18] celebration parade for Kansas City Chief.

[00:51:22] So yes, like you said, prayers up to anybody that's injured with praying for

[00:51:26] speedy recovery and yes, we just brand.

[00:51:32] Oh, my goodness.

[00:51:33] It's time to get really nice streets, dice and we know it's lovers week.

[00:51:37] And we know sometimes we love come challenges.

[00:51:40] So yeah, yeah, I feel like, yeah, we

[00:51:44] we were talking off air about this and we were like,

[00:51:47] yes, love is weak.

[00:51:48] So we really unpack it.

[00:51:49] But yeah, the spirit of God said, go ahead and move.

[00:51:52] So we're going to we're going to go ahead and move.

[00:51:54] We're going to happen to it.

[00:51:55] We're going to talk about today life after infidelity.

[00:51:59] I know this can be, you know, recovering from any affair

[00:52:03] can be one of the most challenging times in a marriage.

[00:52:07] I know for a lot this, this, this is a process that people have

[00:52:10] to even go and seek counseling, therapy and really try to

[00:52:16] understand, you know, why did this happen?

[00:52:20] You know, within the marriage.

[00:52:22] I think the challenges come when

[00:52:26] one, the person you talked about this week,

[00:52:30] the person who maybe had the affair is not being honest about it,

[00:52:34] especially if like, you know, the spouse found out about it,

[00:52:38] not from the spouse, like they found out because they caught him in something

[00:52:42] you brought up this week to his will, talking about

[00:52:44] jokers is tracking each other in the smart watches and stuff like that.

[00:52:48] So, you know, I know that can be very challenging to see if you could start

[00:52:54] the process of the healing process and maybe get counseling,

[00:52:59] maybe go through a process of seeing if you guys can make this thing work.

[00:53:04] If this is not going to be an ongoing process,

[00:53:07] you know, ongoing thing for whoever is, you know, committing the adultery.

[00:53:11] So, yeah, yeah, I just think this is a tough one.

[00:53:15] Definitely. I don't hear too many people talking about it.

[00:53:18] This is a bit odd.

[00:53:18] So I think this is going to be kind of fresh.

[00:53:21] And if anybody is listening to us today,

[00:53:24] you know, who is going through this, we definitely want to hear back from you guys.

[00:53:27] Make sure you all DM us and reach out to us because we definitely want to hear

[00:53:31] success stories from anybody who's been through this process of rebuilding

[00:53:36] the trust because that's what it really boils down to dice.

[00:53:40] You have to rebuild the trust to be able to trust your partner

[00:53:44] to trust that they're not going to do it again,

[00:53:46] trust that they're going to, you know,

[00:53:50] get the help that they need if they need some type of help.

[00:53:52] Or, you know, you talk about forgiving because that's another thing to as well.

[00:53:56] You know, just forgiving your spouse and being able to move forward

[00:54:01] from this and see how, you know, you guys can still, you know, push through

[00:54:05] and restore the marriage because at the end of the day,

[00:54:08] I really believe that God would want to see the glory in that restoration if possible.

[00:54:15] But yes, this is this is a this is a off the hook one.

[00:54:20] As I would say, this is this is real.

[00:54:22] We know this is high on the list of divorce when you know, you talk about money,

[00:54:26] you know, finances is big for divorce.

[00:54:28] And of course, infidelity is high for

[00:54:31] divorce rates when you talk about when people say, you know, what enough

[00:54:34] it's enough and abuse any type of physical abuse

[00:54:37] that is high on the list to as well.

[00:54:38] So yes, I know you got thoughts to as well.

[00:54:42] So.

[00:54:47] This is.

[00:54:49] It's interesting and I know some of you are probably like it.

[00:54:52] It's about the Valentine's Day.

[00:54:53] Why we got think about this because

[00:54:55] some people actually get back together on Valentine's Day, you know,

[00:54:58] like they've gone through a rough patch and this is their day

[00:55:01] to reunite that love, you know?

[00:55:03] And I'm just speaking from experience.

[00:55:06] You know, like Valentine's Day was was our official.

[00:55:09] Yeah, we're not going to be together the day in Valentine's Day was also

[00:55:12] we're going to be together day, you know?

[00:55:15] So shout out to all things.

[00:55:16] Brian McKnight, who was at the casino in Seattle because, you know,

[00:55:21] we and everybody knows this.

[00:55:23] Glad to talk about our business all the time on here.

[00:55:25] You know, like infidelity is a real thing.

[00:55:27] It does affect a lot of people, but I'll be real with you.

[00:55:30] Focus if you're Christian at the end of the day.

[00:55:33] I hate to say it is what it is.

[00:55:35] It is what it is.

[00:55:36] It's like, I think you're going to have to understand.

[00:55:39] You don't know what your ex is doing when they leave the house anyway.

[00:55:42] So some of you are in the in the middle of it.

[00:55:45] If infidelity relationship, don't even know it.

[00:55:48] You know, I'll be honest with you and guess what?

[00:55:50] You may never know.

[00:55:51] But when you trust God and you have God in your relationship

[00:55:55] and you have a good community around you, you're you're better protected.

[00:55:58] You know, your your relationship is better protected.

[00:56:01] And I know some people like, well, I got to have other people

[00:56:03] on my marriage, it's accountability.

[00:56:06] I'm just saying it's accountability.

[00:56:07] Why I got to be in community and tell people my problems

[00:56:09] because that's how the Bible says we we overcome, you know what I'm saying?

[00:56:13] Like, that's why we have a family.

[00:56:15] And that's why we talked about this communication and honesty.

[00:56:17] Right. So it's like, you could be an effective communicator.

[00:56:22] But not honest.

[00:56:24] And that was another reason why I made that comment, especially,

[00:56:27] you know, dealing with my loving husband, who I love dearly.

[00:56:30] But it was like, hey, I want a divorce.

[00:56:32] OK, that's an effective communication.

[00:56:34] Why? OK, so it's like a lot of people are going through,

[00:56:39] but you need to start asking the right questions, you know what I'm saying?

[00:56:42] And if you truly are with your friend and I said this before,

[00:56:44] you said it before too, I hope y'all married to your best friend.

[00:56:47] Yeah, if you're married to your friend,

[00:56:49] y'all they got to learn to be honest, you know, with each other.

[00:56:51] You owe each other that even if you don't want to be married anymore

[00:56:54] as your friend, you owe that person 100 percent honesty.

[00:56:58] Like, you know, I want to be I was your friend before we got married.

[00:57:01] I want to be a friend if we get a divorce.

[00:57:03] So let's just be honest and get it over with, because honestly,

[00:57:06] it's just pride, you know, when it gets down when you get down to it.

[00:57:09] The only reason why your relationship would never work

[00:57:11] after infidelity is your pride.

[00:57:14] It ain't God's pride. It's your pride.

[00:57:16] That's the only reason why I won't work

[00:57:18] because you're supposed to be forgiving.

[00:57:20] Remember? Yeah, nobody said it.

[00:57:22] No, no, no, nobody's saying it'll be easy.

[00:57:23] But the point is, if you truly believe in you guys that I do

[00:57:27] like this is us ride or die, you know, it says till death.

[00:57:31] Like you walk through it at the altar.

[00:57:33] Good or bad, sicker in health.

[00:57:35] Did you lie about that?

[00:57:36] Because now I got questions when you want to divorce.

[00:57:38] Now I got some questions.

[00:57:40] So I'm like, if you truly love God and I mean this with all my soul,

[00:57:45] the Christians shouldn't even be getting divorced unless it's abusive.

[00:57:48] And I mean that like on every level, verbally, physically, emotionally.

[00:57:54] Like if it's an abusive relationship, yeah.

[00:57:56] But if you have a situation in your in your life where you're like, man,

[00:57:59] I didn't know that somebody else could maybe come in and gain the attention of my

[00:58:03] partner, it does happen.

[00:58:06] Should it happen?

[00:58:07] No, does it happen? Yes.

[00:58:10] Is this person beyond coming back into the fold?

[00:58:13] No. Is this person below Christ's forgiven them?

[00:58:16] No. You know, is this part do they get discarded forever?

[00:58:21] And now they're no good at anything they'd ever do in life?

[00:58:23] No, but we treat people, you know, like that.

[00:58:27] So yeah, I got my own personal piece.

[00:58:31] No, that's good.

[00:58:31] And I think the process of really to your point, getting back to where,

[00:58:39] you know, you deal with the pain because, of course, there's pain on both sides.

[00:58:43] I do honestly believe that, you know, the person, even the person

[00:58:45] that can miss the infidelity majority of them feel bad for what they did.

[00:58:50] I don't think a lot of them are just bolting and bragging about it.

[00:58:53] And then also to as well on the flip side, the one, you know,

[00:58:57] that has to deal with it, you know, the pain of will that ever

[00:59:00] come to be out the back of their head?

[00:59:02] Like, you know, to your point when they walk out the door, you know,

[00:59:05] are they still going back to commit this again or are they really working

[00:59:09] to work on what we feel, work on what we have,

[00:59:12] work on getting ourselves back together to where we can continue

[00:59:16] to show off the marriage.

[00:59:17] Because again, that's another thing I want to point out.

[00:59:20] Shouts out to everybody who believes in God word because the marriage

[00:59:23] is supposed to show off Jesus Christ.

[00:59:26] It's not supposed to show off this individuality type deal, which I know

[00:59:31] a lot of people within marriages are looking to bolsen, brag on their

[00:59:34] individual, whatever it may be.

[00:59:37] It's really to show off how God can bring two individuals together

[00:59:41] and you and make it unique to where they show off what God can do

[00:59:46] with these two different individuals and how they can come together

[00:59:49] in a union and how God can get the glory out of every part of their

[00:59:54] marriage, every part of their marriage.

[00:59:56] So yes, absolutely.

[00:59:58] It takes work and it's a process.

[01:00:01] So yeah, listen, we talking about it.

[01:00:03] We got to go to a quick break.

[01:00:04] Don't touch that dial.

[01:00:06] We talking about it, you know, recovering from infidelity in the marriage.

[01:00:09] Keep it locked.

[01:00:09] You tune into the fix.

[01:00:11] And the fix is in.

[01:00:12] Welcome back.

[01:00:12] Welcome back, DJ Focus, Dice Gamble.

[01:00:14] You tap back into the fix and in the middle of this real talk

[01:00:17] conversation today.

[01:00:18] And yeah, we talking about it recovering after infidelity, life after

[01:00:23] infidelity.

[01:00:23] So yeah, we talked about a lot, but I think, you know, we got to talk

[01:00:27] a little bit more dice about, I think the mental state, the mental

[01:00:32] state of this for both of the people involved.

[01:00:39] Yeah, I think it I think you need to take a moment of like pause and

[01:00:44] like, like really understand like what's going on.

[01:00:46] Because I think a lot of times people get, you know, of course,

[01:00:50] emotions are high, tension is high in the house.

[01:00:54] And yeah, you know, sometimes people can react the wrong way.

[01:00:58] We know a lot of domestic situations have come out of this.

[01:01:02] Let's be very clear once the spouse finds out and especially

[01:01:06] specifically a lot, you know, either way, like we don't want it to

[01:01:09] be anything that's, you know, where you can harm your spouse or

[01:01:13] anybody's in danger.

[01:01:14] So that's why I think, you know, just taking a minute to pause,

[01:01:18] think about everything and really like plan.

[01:01:21] Okay, what's the next move?

[01:01:23] Because I don't think a lot of people even talk about that.

[01:01:25] Even think about it.

[01:01:26] They just react with their feelings, which let's be very clear.

[01:01:29] Emotions is going to be high.

[01:01:31] Tension is going to be high.

[01:01:32] I get it.

[01:01:33] But if you know, just relaxing, maybe taking a minute, figuring

[01:01:36] it out.

[01:01:38] What's the next step to get to the healing process?

[01:01:43] Hmm.

[01:01:45] I don't know.

[01:01:46] Have you ever been through this?

[01:01:48] No.

[01:01:50] Okay, so here's the deal.

[01:01:53] You never get to pick if you're going to get over something ever.

[01:01:57] You know what I'm saying?

[01:01:58] Like it's just not a choice.

[01:01:59] You know, you could actually have patience with your partner

[01:02:02] and you can love them and you could forgive them.

[01:02:04] Sincerely forgive them.

[01:02:05] You know what I mean?

[01:02:06] Because you want to get back on track, but there's triggers.

[01:02:09] You know what I'm saying?

[01:02:10] So it's like, it's so funny because I remember, you know,

[01:02:13] after finding out the young lady's name who had my husband's

[01:02:16] interest, I was like, okay, so we can't buy anything with that

[01:02:19] name on it.

[01:02:20] No brand.

[01:02:21] Like, you know, I was just, I was in my petty mode.

[01:02:22] I was like, I don't want to remember anything.

[01:02:24] You know what I'm saying?

[01:02:25] But it's different.

[01:02:26] Like it depends on who you're with.

[01:02:27] My husband is very loving enough to help me walk through

[01:02:31] everything, even being very vulnerable in our life groups,

[01:02:34] very vulnerable in our, and this is something if y'all

[01:02:36] don't have this, please go get you a life group.

[01:02:38] Please go get you some type of like marriage counselor.

[01:02:42] Shout out to Dr.

[01:02:42] Cola.

[01:02:43] You know, he's our marriage counselor in Atlanta and it was

[01:02:47] Pastor Olu Brown who had referred us to him when we

[01:02:49] initially got married.

[01:02:50] And of course, when we were going through, he's the

[01:02:52] first person I call.

[01:02:53] That's called you ain't completely.

[01:02:55] This he's like, I do believe it.

[01:02:56] I'm a marriage counselor.

[01:02:57] You know what I'm saying?

[01:02:59] But he was like, don't change.

[01:03:00] This is one of the big things that people in a

[01:03:03] marriage forget because you want to retaliate.

[01:03:05] Right.

[01:03:06] Like that was my first thing.

[01:03:07] I'm like, how are you doing this?

[01:03:07] We'll do, I'm about to go this, do this.

[01:03:10] And I never forget when I was sitting in the car and

[01:03:12] I was like, Lord, that's not even my character to be

[01:03:14] petty and tit for tat.

[01:03:16] And this man is about to make me be a whole another

[01:03:18] person because I got too much pride right now where, you

[01:03:21] know, and I think I shared this before on the show.

[01:03:23] I said, every time I used to throw him up to God and

[01:03:28] be like, this is what he did to me.

[01:03:29] God was like, and you did that to me.

[01:03:31] But this is he lied to me and this you lied to me.

[01:03:35] But he cheated and you cheated on me.

[01:03:37] Like, so anything you give me dice right now, you've

[01:03:40] done to me.

[01:03:41] Understand that.

[01:03:41] First of all, and I've forgiven you and continue to

[01:03:44] forgive you and will always forgive you and you have

[01:03:46] to learn to love your partner like that.

[01:03:49] Because like I said, if you believe this is who God

[01:03:51] put you with, you, if you want, if you wanted to,

[01:03:55] some of y'all just don't want y'all marriage to

[01:03:57] work. Let me, let me, let me preface this.

[01:03:59] Some of y'all been waiting to get out of your

[01:04:00] relationship and you just been falling for anything

[01:04:03] and doing the most.

[01:04:03] But I'm talking about if you really love and you

[01:04:06] know this is your thing, you're going to fight

[01:04:08] for it. It trusts me.

[01:04:11] I mean, it is, it is what it is.

[01:04:12] It happens, but you will never know when you get

[01:04:15] that trust back fully.

[01:04:16] You ain't going to know because some things

[01:04:18] that trigger you and then you'll be pulled

[01:04:19] backwards, but that's why you need God.

[01:04:21] That's why I'm like, I don't see how marriages

[01:04:23] work without Jesus.

[01:04:24] I don't see that.

[01:04:25] I don't see how you get through because you're

[01:04:27] going to have to remember like I'm called to

[01:04:30] love this person regardless of what they're

[01:04:31] going through and you brought up mental

[01:04:33] health focus.

[01:04:34] It could be drug addiction that causes them

[01:04:36] to go backwards.

[01:04:37] It could be gambling.

[01:04:38] It could be drinking.

[01:04:39] It could be y'all just had quadriplets and now

[01:04:42] this person doesn't feel like they're getting

[01:04:43] enough attention.

[01:04:44] It could be they work overnight and they

[01:04:46] in some little hottie that keep hollering

[01:04:47] at them and they spend more time at work

[01:04:49] and then at home and it's an easy segue

[01:04:51] to dip off in the corner and get some

[01:04:53] attention, you know?

[01:04:53] So sometimes people fall for these

[01:04:57] situations where they didn't want it.

[01:04:59] It's just like, well, I got an opportunity.

[01:05:00] Somebody's paying attention to me.

[01:05:02] You know what I'm saying?

[01:05:02] And then you take it and I'm saying

[01:05:04] that even for me, like I know what

[01:05:07] that is like when I'm not getting the

[01:05:09] attention I need.

[01:05:10] I'm going to seek that attention somewhere

[01:05:12] somewhere else.

[01:05:13] So it's like you got to know who you're

[01:05:15] married to and it's important.

[01:05:17] I remember one lady said to me, have

[01:05:19] you been praying for your husband when he

[01:05:20] leaves the house?

[01:05:21] And I was like, nope.

[01:05:22] She said, hmm.

[01:05:25] I'm for real.

[01:05:26] I remember I told my life group leader

[01:05:27] and shout out to shout out to Beth.

[01:05:29] I told her, I said, man, after we

[01:05:30] gone through this, I don't even feel

[01:05:31] like being with him.

[01:05:32] But we're married.

[01:05:33] I want to continue to be married.

[01:05:34] We got four young kids.

[01:05:36] She said, well, I just, you know,

[01:05:37] you're going to have to maybe like

[01:05:39] go pray and ask God to give you the

[01:05:40] want to want to be with him.

[01:05:43] She said, you know, if you truly

[01:05:44] believe God for everything and God

[01:05:46] gives you everything, every other good

[01:05:47] gift, if you if you don't have

[01:05:49] the will to be with him anymore

[01:05:51] because you're still holding on to

[01:05:52] what had happened before, you get to

[01:05:54] go and ask God to give you the

[01:05:56] want to be with him back.

[01:05:58] So it's like you guys need

[01:06:01] strong community, strong men

[01:06:03] and women of faith.

[01:06:04] And you need to be in your word

[01:06:06] knowing, OK, God, help me

[01:06:08] to not be stuck on me because

[01:06:10] you know what I'm saying?

[01:06:12] It is what it is.

[01:06:13] It was a hurtful yes.

[01:06:14] Can you get past it? Yes.

[01:06:16] And the sooner you release it to

[01:06:17] God, the sooner you will get

[01:06:18] past it and God will bless you

[01:06:20] and you'll be able to minister

[01:06:21] to other people and say, you know

[01:06:21] what? Sucks.

[01:06:24] It does happen.

[01:06:25] But guess what?

[01:06:26] You have so many blessings

[01:06:28] after that life is about

[01:06:30] to get so much better.

[01:06:31] Not because of that, but you guys

[01:06:33] have endured that and God has

[01:06:34] brought you through that.

[01:06:35] Now that is a part of your

[01:06:36] testimony, it's a huge change.

[01:06:38] And it's in here's the deal.

[01:06:40] I remember how to tell my husband,

[01:06:41] stop telling people, stop apologizing.

[01:06:43] Like I had to literally tell him

[01:06:44] like stop when we get to a

[01:06:45] different life group or church.

[01:06:47] That's not your testimony

[01:06:48] because to your point,

[01:06:49] focus the person who does it

[01:06:51] often feels bad as well.

[01:06:52] You know what I'm saying?

[01:06:53] So it's like I had to help

[01:06:55] him say I'm good.

[01:06:56] Like we good.

[01:06:56] You understand, like we good.

[01:06:58] I'm saying like we are good.

[01:06:59] Trust me.

[01:07:00] We're good.

[01:07:01] But I'm very different in all

[01:07:03] of our parties were able to have

[01:07:04] a communication and a better

[01:07:06] understanding.

[01:07:07] Everybody doesn't get that gift

[01:07:09] of saying, well, what happened here?

[01:07:10] You know what I'm saying?

[01:07:11] So it's different when you can

[01:07:13] kind of hash everything out

[01:07:14] and you're like, OK, now we see.

[01:07:17] You know, this is this is what it was.

[01:07:18] And true indeed, like there

[01:07:21] are marriages that you

[01:07:24] guys might be ready to break it off.

[01:07:26] And I promise you, I would say

[01:07:28] revisit everything and find every

[01:07:30] reason that you should stay

[01:07:32] and hold on to those ideas

[01:07:34] instead of this interruption

[01:07:36] that obviously wasn't supposed to be there.

[01:07:38] You know, like go and remember

[01:07:41] all of the memories, all the kids,

[01:07:42] all everything you bought together

[01:07:44] did together, everything you've

[01:07:45] overcome together.

[01:07:47] And you got to hold on to that

[01:07:48] because life is better together.

[01:07:50] Like I promise you,

[01:07:51] life is so much better together.

[01:07:53] So yeah, yeah.

[01:07:56] And continue to love

[01:07:57] through the challenge, you know?

[01:07:59] And you got to trust God, man.

[01:08:00] You really got to trust God.

[01:08:01] Honestly, you got to trust God.

[01:08:04] God's on the side of the family.

[01:08:06] Yeah, God's on the side of the family.

[01:08:07] It's so do I just hate when people

[01:08:09] and never meet.

[01:08:10] It's like, OK, OK, I hear you.

[01:08:12] I hear you, but that's your choice, right?

[01:08:14] And you do get that choice, too.

[01:08:15] There are some people like I just could never.

[01:08:17] And for me, I think for me

[01:08:19] and my husband a little bit different.

[01:08:20] We have been both in marriage before

[01:08:21] and had kids before and all that.

[01:08:23] So, you know, somebody hit both of us before.

[01:08:25] So when like that we were all we knew, you know what I'm saying?

[01:08:28] It was like, no, we come on now.

[01:08:30] We didn't been out here doing the most with other people.

[01:08:32] So, you know, come on.

[01:08:33] But it'd probably be different if it was just us, you know?

[01:08:36] So like I said, our situation is a little bit different.

[01:08:39] But don't let anybody tell you about your marriage.

[01:08:41] You know what I'm saying?

[01:08:42] Like because some people say, oh, you just should.

[01:08:44] You should throw that in the trash.

[01:08:46] Should I?

[01:08:47] Should I really though?

[01:08:47] Is that what you said?

[01:08:48] Did you tell me just throw in the trash?

[01:08:50] I don't think I don't think that's very biblical, you know?

[01:08:54] But I think you have to see that repentance.

[01:08:57] You have to see a change.

[01:08:59] You have to get that confession of a person saying,

[01:09:01] I'm going to change, you know, this is not me.

[01:09:03] That this is what that was that'll never happen again.

[01:09:06] And you got to let them continue to show up.

[01:09:09] Got to continue to let them show up, you know?

[01:09:10] But there's, you know, you don't know the day

[01:09:12] you'll get your trust back fully.

[01:09:14] You know what I'm saying?

[01:09:15] But it takes time.

[01:09:16] God to give it back to you.

[01:09:17] But you got to partner with God and say,

[01:09:20] on that Lord, I believe, help my unbelief.

[01:09:21] You're going to have to lean heavily on the Lord.

[01:09:23] But yeah, you can get over anything.

[01:09:25] So hopefully this Valentine's Day, man,

[01:09:27] some of you guys are menger relationships

[01:09:29] and just come to the table and be like, you know what?

[01:09:32] Let's start over.

[01:09:33] You know what I'm saying? Let's start out.

[01:09:34] Go get it. Go rededicate.

[01:09:36] Go down to the courthouse again.

[01:09:37] You know what I'm saying? Like, go do it again.

[01:09:39] Have another ceremony.

[01:09:40] Invite your family and your friends and say,

[01:09:42] listen, I know y'all know our business.

[01:09:45] You know what I'm saying? Repropose.

[01:09:46] Like just start. It's your life.

[01:09:48] This is my thing.

[01:09:49] And on this note, it's your life.

[01:09:51] So however you want to live your life,

[01:09:53] you get to pick that.

[01:09:54] But if you want to pick it because you're afraid

[01:09:57] of what all your friends are going to say,

[01:09:58] your family are going to say or how people think about you.

[01:10:00] And it's like, OK, maybe you need new friends.

[01:10:04] Maybe you need a new family.

[01:10:05] Maybe you need a new community.

[01:10:06] But if that's your boo and your baby

[01:10:08] and you're like, no, we ride or die,

[01:10:09] you know what I'm saying?

[01:10:10] Ugly or not, it's you and me.

[01:10:12] It is still deaf and we hear.

[01:10:15] So it's like, yeah, stick together.

[01:10:17] Stick together and enjoy each other.

[01:10:18] That's my little thing right there.

[01:10:22] It's possible to get over it.

[01:10:24] Yeah, definitely keep God in it.

[01:10:26] That's a hundred. Yeah.

[01:10:27] Listen, we got to go to a break.

[01:12:26] Trained to be a doctor in the whole nine.

[01:12:29] Like he was a thug too, got arrested,

[01:12:32] but he's been inventing some stuff.

[01:12:34] So something called like a thermometer,

[01:12:37] something we've all used before.

[01:12:48] the British lady from Dr. Quinn.

[01:13:04] that we definitely should recognize,

[01:13:06] but I will say this, there's some things

[01:13:08] that dropped on this day, the breakfast club.

[01:13:11] For those of you who don't know what the breakfast club

[01:13:13] is, it was a amazing movie dropped in 1985 on this day.

[01:13:59] on the planet.
