Hello, my friends.
This is Andy and Hedy coming
to you live from Yorba Linda,
California for...
The Living Fearless Devotional.
A production of
resurrectministry.com where
we're harnessing the power
of the internet to share
the gospel as far as we can,
wherever we can for those
that are either far from
Christ because they've just,
life has gotten the best of
them or have never met Jesus.
He'll meet you where you are.
So check out some of the
books we've recommended, Bible resources,
past episodes.
Andy even has some Fearless
Man podcast episodes up there.
and my past articles in the
Christian Post.
We've got tons of stuff.
Drop us a line.
Let us know if it's blessed you in any way,
if it's triggered a thought
in your mind that you
wanted to share with us, a prayer request,
whatever it may be,
we'd love to hear from you.
And if this ministry blesses
you in any way and you want
to encourage us,
click the Donate Now button.
Kind of makes the sound when you do that.
Yeah.
That's what I did.
Sound effects.
Make sure you comment and
let us know what you think
about the devotional or if
you have something that God
gave you during the reading.
Just put it there in the
comments if you're watching
live or if you're even
watching the replay on Facebook, LinkedIn,
YouTube, Twitch.
The social medias.
Or Rumble.
Rumble has a new cloud application.
They just keep growing and growing.
What does that mean?
Instead of like, you know,
Google has a cloud where
you can upload files and stuff like that.
Well, they're working on it.
The clunkiest app I've ever used.
I just can't watch stuff on it.
It drives me bananas.
They make improvements from time to time.
But you know what?
Back in YouTube days, which was like,
I don't know, 15 years ago.
Why did they reinvent the wheel?
Just copy YouTube.
It's literally the best playback app ever.
I know.
Categories, playback, the history.
I love the history function.
That's ran by tyrants.
This stuff gets taken down.
Our stuff gets taken down.
Okay, no, I'm saying we need Rumble,
but just copy the platform.
I don't know why they don't do that.
I don't want to listen to you.
Have you ever sent them a message?
I'm sure I'm not the first
person that sent that message.
I am sure.
I think you just,
everybody thinks somebody else did it.
Yeah.
Yeah,
you may have to be the one that does it.
They go, oh my gosh,
I don't know if he's ever
told us this before.
Right?
Who's this Hedia Miramadi
Falco Jimenez in Yerba Linda?
I have to add the humidity.
The whole thing.
The whole kit and caboodle, Snooks.
You have to be Italian and Mexican.
All right.
Also, go to our sponsors.
I don't know why I can't remember.
That word sponsors.
I felt like Joe Biden for a second.
I'm about out of stroke.
Sponsors, LifeWise is one of them.
They will help you with
your... They don't have one
for memory yet.
So maybe...
far as I know.
It's coming.
I read Tracy's email.
Oh, really?
Go to LiveLifeWise.tv.
Some great supplements.
You will thank me like many
other people have.
Even on the show,
they thank me for the supplements.
And StreamYard,
that's the platform we use to go live.
That's what we're using
right now to share with you
the devotional.
If you have any inkling to do that,
use StreamYard.
Go to GetToStreamYardNow.com.
The, there we go, Philippians 4,
15 through 20 is what we're
going to be reading after
we get done with the
devotional itself on A.W.
Tozer's for the Christian leader.
So go there and prepare your
Bible for that.
We are March 12th,
and it's entitled Bowing to the Givers.
Bowing to the Givers.
We have another expression
for that in modern day.
It's a much more vulgar expression.
Oh, you don't want to share?
Well, I mean, like kissing.
Buttskies.
Yeah.
Philippians 4.19.
Buttskies.
My mom used to say buttskies.
Oh, okay.
Like I'd come into the
kitchen while they were
talking about me and I'd be listening.
They'd go, get out of here, buttskies.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So Philippians 4.19 is a W's reference.
Your parents sounded like a hoop.
Yeah.
It says,
but my God shall supply all your
need according to his
riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Sounds so simple.
It really is.
Remember,
my giving will be rewarded not by
how much I gave, but how much I had left.
Ministers are sometimes
tempted to shy away from
such doctrine as this,
lest they offend the
important givers in their congregation.
But it is better to offend
men than to grieve the
blessed Spirit of God which
dwells in the church.
No man ever yet killed a
true church by withdrawing
his gifts from it because
of a personal pique.
The church of the firstborn
is not dependent upon the
patronage of men.
No man has ever been able, really,
to harm a church by
boycotting it financially.
The moment we admit that we
fear the displeasure of the
carnal givers in our congregations,
we admit also that our
congregations are not of
heaven but of earth.
A heavenly church will enjoy
a heavenly and supernatural prosperity.
She cannot be starved out.
The Lord will supply her needs.
Thank you, Heavenly Father,
for your incredibly
generous provision and faithfulness,
both to us as individuals
and to the churches we lead.
Amen.
So true.
I love this.
I love that concept of the
church of the firstborn is
not dependent on the patronage of men.
You can't starve out the church.
You can't boycott it
financially and destroy it.
And if you think you can,
if you give in to that,
then you admit your church
is of earth and not of
heaven because we have a
supernatural prosperity and
they've tried that in so
many ways not just
financially but in in calling people
You know, what are they calling us now?
Christian nationalists?
Yes.
Name calling.
Yeah.
Like that's supposed to be a big insult.
Yeah.
Nationalists.
I mean, it is a derogatory expression,
but the words in and of
itself are not derogatory.
Right.
And then to shut the doors down.
during covid they found a
way to shut all the doors
on the churches yep and
that didn't stop anything
but financially you know
you got I think it really
is the few because not
there's not a lot of
necessarily of rich people
even in the church in your
belinda the churches in
your belinda uh or even
chino hills that but some
churches will bow down to those very few
that seem to be giving a lot.
So if they have like a, um, I don't know,
is it called an endowment?
If you,
if you have a lot of money and then
you make sure that,
that if you're given an
endowment and it happens to
be a large amount of money
that you do have pastors or
we'll listen to that one person,
cuz they don't wanna lose that,
whatever it is, you know,
$10,000 a month or whatever it is.
Well,
and in other examples also to win the
favor of certain pools of money,
foundations and others,
they change their message.
Yeah.
to win those endowments,
which is a dangerous thing as well.
Wow.
But I,
I love pastor Jack's attitude at
Calvary Chapel, Chino Hills,
where he's just kind of like, listen,
I don't, you know,
your money's not for me.
God will provide, you know, give,
give your heart's motivated
to give the Lord's telling you,
this is your church home.
Then tithe, you know,
God's telling you to do it, but,
but you're not going to
make or break my church.
Right.
You know, um,
which is exactly what Tozer
is saying here.
And I just love that attitude.
And I have found God's
supernatural provision,
not only in our lives,
but in my friends' lives
who depend on the Lord,
like my friend Glenn,
who's the book writer and
stuff and is a street preacher.
God provides for him supernaturally.
And many others, my friend Christy,
many others who have no, like, job per se,
you know,
but the Lord provides because
they're so faithful to the Lord.
Right.
I love the story that Pastor Jack has told,
and I don't think I could
share too many details
because he did it in an
environment where...
He shared more of it.
About ripping up the check?
Yeah.
He was given a very large
check once it came to the church.
And the secretary brought it
to him and says,
this church has a lot of zeros on it.
And he did that even when
the money came from the
government for the PPP program.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And she goes, I know what your answer is,
but I want you to know what
I should do with this check.
And he goes, just rip it up.
He goes,
I don't feel that that's from God.
And just shredded it.
and like you said the
government's check like
that definitely is not from
god right for sure that's
direct from uh the uh the
devil's office up there in
sacramento uh so yeah but
we didn't mind when the god
gave us when the devil gave
us some money every month
from coven relief oh we
bought food with that stuff
yeah like everybody else
We're not going to pretend
we didn't take the check.
Pastor Jack didn't take the
check for the church, but we took it.
That wasn't being given to
us so that we could do our devotional.
there's just free money no
free money yeah no but but
pastor jack the the ppp
program was to continue
payroll uninterrupted oh um
but he chose not to take it
anyways because the strings
that were attached which
were true because later on
they could call that cash back um
If you didn't comply with
certain rules that they wanted.
So they can go, Hey,
remember that a hundred
thousand dollars or
whatever it was I gave you right now,
it's time for you to pay up
in one way or another,
not just financially.
Right.
All right, cool.
I'm glad he did that.
Let's see who's watching
before we go to the scripture.
Carrie.
Hello, Carrie.
Nice to see you.
it's just funny she says
carrie says rumble is like
the stone age but it
doesn't censor us yeah it's
like give and take and
carrie says I thought it
was budinsky are you saying
it was butinsky yeah it
didn't make sense to me
either but who am I well my
mom my parents didn't use
those kind of expressions
my mom said I mean really
put emphasis on the butt oh
really but but she was also
an immigrant so she may
have made it up no she was
not neither one of my
parents were immigrants
really I thought you said
her family came from germany
Our heritage is from Germany.
Oh, but her family was born here too.
Yeah, the Chisholm, you know,
the Chisholms and the Chisholm Trail.
That's my lineage.
Oh, so she had no excuse.
No.
No, my dad was born in Texas.
El Paso, Texas.
No, he wasn't even immigrant.
His parents were immigrants,
more so than my,
I think it must have been great, great,
great grandparents on my mom's side.
But it could be Budinsky.
Budinsky.
I'm pretty sure she could.
Why do I always have this
impression your mom had
like an accent and was... No.
No.
You change your description of your mom.
No, never.
German Hungarian woman that
had an accent and a big font.
Blonde hair, blue eyes with a big,
you know, bowling alley hair style font.
And they did go bowling.
They run a bowling league.
But no, no accent.
Neither my grandmother or.
No.
Interesting.
No.
Southern accent.
My grandmother.
Because they came from Texas.
A Texas accent.
Yeah.
They're in the south of our country.
April wants to know what a
bowling alley hairstyle is.
It's a bouffant like you saw.
Yeah,
where they used to wear the shoes and
the big bouffant.
American, not American Idol,
American graffiti.
Yes.
And she would put a thing around her hair,
a scarf,
and then she would lay in bed on
a pillow on her neck so
that her hair would not touch.
Yeah.
Do you have pictures of this?
And tons of hairspray.
Aquanet like crazy.
I would use a match and a
flamethrower all the time.
Stop using up my hairspray.
Stop burning the ants.
My brother used to do that.
April, nice to see you.
Hi, April.
You are too funny, Hedia.
No, she's talking about you.
Yes, just like Wilma on the Flintstones.
Now,
how come I can remember Wilma off the
top of my head,
but I can't remember sponsors?
What was that you were going to say?
I can't remember my mom's name.
Peppa?
My mom's.
cannot expect my mouth to do
that what you just happen
you can't do that you can't
do up and then at the same
time you do both at the
same time yeah see I can't
I have to go pepper uh
carrie said I did the
toilet paper hair for oh my
beehive what does that mean
yeah what is toilet paper
here this is just wrapping
around the toilet paper but
hold it up while you're sleeping
Carrie, why would you do that?
Why wouldn't you just use a scarf?
We're doing housework.
Well, we don't know Carrie's situation.
Don't shame her.
What are you talking about?
It's much cheaper to use a scarf.
You're just lazy.
You didn't want to have to wash the scarf.
That seems so tedious to
have to wrap toilet paper
around your head over and
over again and then go
outside and then take it
off and then wrap it back
up again and then take it
off and then wrap it back up again.
All right, so now who's going off?
Let's get to scripture.
Look at the head.
Talk to the hand.
This is a very relevant part
of scripture that is
connected to the issue of giving.
And I love the way Apostle Paul says this.
And we actually brought this
up the other day when we
were talking about the
issue of giving in the last devotional,
that we shouldn't be beholden to men.
But he says it really well.
So now you Philippians know
also that in the beginning of the gospel,
when I departed from Macedonia,
no church shared with me
concerning giving and
receiving except for you, but you only.
For even in Thessalonica,
you sent aid once and again
for my necessities.
Not that I seek a gift,
but I seek the fruits that
abound to your account.
Indeed, I have all and abound.
I am full,
having received from
Epaphroditus the things sent from you,
a sweet-smelling aroma,
an acceptable sacrifice,
well-pleasing to God.
And my God shall supply all
your needs according to his
riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Now to our God and Father be
the glory forever and ever.
Amen.
It's so gangster.
Because he's like, thank you.
A lot of you,
a lot of people never thought
of how I'm eating and drinking.
I'm traveling from country
to country and nobody pays.
Occasionally you have.
And it was credited to you, not to me.
Like, okay, thank you.
I appreciate it.
But it's credited to your
account because God's
watching your generosity.
I may be the recipient of it right now,
but it's really about
whether you could be generous or not.
And we all know, we've all seen it.
We've all heard about it,
that how churches abuse that.
The concept of tithing,
the concept of giving.
They have, what are they called?
Building, not a program.
Whenever they want to add on a building,
it's called a building blank.
Carrie, you may remember what it's called.
Building tax.
No, no, no.
In churches,
it's a building offering or something.
Whenever they want a new thing, you know,
they create a new campaign.
So it can be tremendously abused.
And we also get annoyed at
churches that are
constantly talking about raising money.
It's annoying.
It gets off point after a while.
When Building Fund, Kevin says.
Is it called the Building Fund?
Yeah, something like that.
But it's a little more churchy sounding.
Maybe it's a building offering.
I don't know.
Remember at Mariners Church
where I used to run the
security that I'd come in
and we'd find out what's
going to be happening for
the message of the day and
that kind of stuff.
And building fund or building offering.
We could always tell because
they would put out the
Kentucky Fried Chicken
buckets at the ends of each
one of the aisles.
Literally.
Like the cardboard buckets
that they used to put like
a 15-piece Kentucky Fried Chicken in.
And does this have the
colonel's picture on it too?
No, it's white.
But they would only do that
when they wanted to raise money.
They would do it sometimes
if there was a hurricane, you know,
in Haiti.
But also if something new
was going to be built,
if you go to Mariners, the main,
because now there's more than just one,
but it's got all kinds of stuff going on.
But they put out the buckets
and they pass those buckets down.
And then, you know,
the guys that run the aisles,
the seating guys would pick
up all the buckets full of money.
But we would have to be made
aware of it because be a
lot of money in those buckets.
Wow.
Yeah,
it's great because it's a Newport Beach.
Almost everybody that went
there had money.
Whether it was a dollar or not.
That's interesting.
The only thing that really
kind of happened a couple
times is somebody would put
the bucket on their head
and run around the church.
I had to go grab a guy that
was running around.
Because he's autistic?
I don't know.
It was really odd.
It was in the middle of service, too.
Wow.
He puts it in the bucket,
puts it on his head.
And there's always one guy that does it?
Not always.
There was twice, I think,
over the years that I was there.
Not even the same guy.
I think the guy was like a copycat.
You know, his copycat serial killers.
A grown man in his 50s or 60s.
So I get where people get the idea.
Sorry, we sometimes got to rain Andy in.
The idea that you...
you should give generously
and without account you
give with your right hand
your left hand should know
what you're doing um that's
the bible that's not me yet
oh I didn't make that up uh
so but but it gets abused
right it gets abused by
churches and pastors so um
yeah you want to give uh
you want to give because
the lord's calling you to
There was just some
construction over at
Calvary Chapel last year.
They tore down Chino Hills.
Yeah,
that whole courtyard is being remade.
But Jack never does building
campaigns because he says
they come because the Lord provides them.
Yeah.
And I think they did some whole new sound.
They had to get new speakers and sound.
Build a studio.
That's got to be probably
close to a million, if not $2 million,
what they did.
And never, never mentioned.
Never, ever.
I mean,
there's one like little PSA that
comes at the beginning.
If you feel like giving this,
if this is your church home,
he specifically says,
if it's your church home,
if you're visiting, don't.
Yeah.
yeah love that yeah um but
it's it's funny that not
funny it's interesting that
this has been a forever
thing because it's
referenced in the bible yes
thousands of years ago yes
tozer at the early early
1900s mentions it it's
important then so it's
never uh it's it's uh it's
always been a problem it's
it's not it's not you didn't
The same issues that man has
always had in their flesh.
Nothing new under the sun.
There's no temptation for
which God does not provide
a means of escape.
Wow.
Lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh,
and the pride of life.
That's it.
That's all there is.
Perfect.
So...
Kevin also suggested an
endowment but no that's
slightly different it's
these it's a campaigns that
churches do when they want
to build a new building so
maybe people call it the building fund.
But I just I feel like
there's a more churchy expression,
but I just can't think of
what it is Muslims have that.
Where they started hitting
people up yeah but Muslims historically.
I'm going to find a nice way
of saying this.
Do it in terms of poor people.
Raising money.
We need to feed people.
There's a hurricane.
There's an earthquake.
It's starving people in Africa.
We need to build wells.
And then the surplus of that
goes to building a building.
It's hard to get muzzies to
pay for a building.
Is Muzzy's a common name?
Do Muzzy's use the name Muzzy's?
Only Muzzy's use the word Muzzy's.
We don't let other people do it.
So based on my heritage,
I use the expression Muzzy's.
I can say Mexicans because I'm Mexican.
Right.
Most people can't say Mexican.
I don't know what a white guy says.
Hey, Mexican, come over here.
It doesn't sound the same.
I went to Texas,
I was training police dogs in Texas,
Dallas, Texas,
and I'm there teaching and I'm Mexican.
I like Maria's expression.
Pastor Chuck always would
remind pastors that you feed the plot,
not police the plot.
And God will always provide
for his church.
Yes, supernatural provision.
So we were on this ranch,
this rich guy owned,
and he said to all of us
instructors over there for
the dog training part of things, he'd say,
you guys want to ride horses?
And I go, yeah, that'd be great.
He goes, okay,
I'll go get my Mexicans to
get your horses ready.
And then every time you
referred to them as my
Mexicans and the Mexicans
were there and they would just go, oh,
okay, we'll go get the horse.
They never bleeped.
I don't know how that sounds.
He was like John Wayne.
He was a big, with a voice like this,
go get my Mexicans, go get the horses.
Oh boy.
So, but Muzzy's is,
it caught me off guard when
you said that.
Yeah.
But it doesn't sound bad, does it?
No.
I just wondered.
I need to ask Adam if the
young people still use that expression.
It actually came from the young people,
my nieces and nephews.
In my generation,
we didn't use that expression.
Gary says,
uh they add stuff like
building fund in christian
churches they never call it
an offering yeah you know
but there's can we say that
that's always bad to ask I
mean if you're going to
build like a gym for the
kids because now you're
going to have a school
driscoll did that driscoll
did a whole building fund
for uh children's ministry
Because, you know,
they only have that one building.
So they needed to build another building.
Yeah.
I wonder where they put it.
Because we were there.
Yeah.
Where they put that.
Now I got to ask you a
question about something else.
Had Andy traveled Ford Road
through Dearborn instead of the I-94,
he would have seen some big
mosques and they're building more.
Really?
Yeah.
That's the money from
building wells in Africa.
Speaking from personal experience.
Not all of them.
Can't disparage all of them.
But a lot of the ones in Michigan,
I can tell you for sure.
People are looking, wow,
we gave all that money for the wells.
And on top of it,
they can build buildings too.
Right.
But actually, to be fair,
a lot of the very large
churches in America were
built by the Saudis.
Oh, really?
Yes, on purpose, to control the dogma.
You control the preaching
when you control the building, right?
So they would provide the funding,
they would pick the board members,
and then that church became
under their influence.
Over 200 of the original
mosques built in the mid-50s, 60s,
and 70s, 2,200, 2,000,
were built by the Saudis.
And I'm sure that still
continues until today.
Big endowments from Arab countries.
With oil money?
Oil money.
Wow.
You're just a plethora of information.
I just totally forgot about
that when I was making fun of the whales.
Because we didn't have Arab money,
my community.
You had to be an extremist
to have that money.
Really?
Yeah.
So the rest of us had to
fend for ourselves.
So we had to build very
expensive whales in Africa.
How do you show the Arabs
that you're an extremist?
Doctrine,
it's all about your school of thought.
It's just like saying,
how do you show you're a
Catholic as opposed to a Lutheran?
It was your doctrine.
I have so many things I want to say,
I'm not going to say them.
Wow, that is so interesting.
So I got to ask you,
you've begun writing your book.
Things are moving along.
You just had a meeting with your staff.
Yes.
Oh, you know what's so fun?
Yes.
They said we're going to do
a book cover contest.
Oh, that sounds great.
Yeah,
they get 10 designers to design six
covers.
We narrow it down amongst ourselves,
me and the publishing team.
And then we put it out to the public,
to our friends to choose.
Yep, that builds interest.
Builds interest.
And then you see, well,
is it just us that has like,
we like the umbrellas and
everybody else is like,
let's go with the lion instead.
That is the hardest thing, because authors,
I've dealt with probably a
couple hundred authors,
and they all have an idea
of what their title is
going to be and what the
cover is going to look like.
And almost always, not always,
but almost always, the high percentage,
me and the other people
that would look at their stuff and say,
I missed it.
Went right past it.
yeah they would do something
like the roly-poly effect
and they go the roly-poly
effect is their title I go
what what's the book about
they said well it's about
auto repair they go okay
well it goes roly-poly
effect is what I call
myself when I go underneath
the car but nobody's gonna
buy your book based on that
title because it doesn't
say anything about cars oh
that happens a lot because
people have their ideas but
They fall in love with their own ideas.
Well, she asked me, she's like,
do you want your face on the cover?
Do you want it to be a headshot?
And I'm like, no.
My first reaction was no.
Really?
No.
I think it should be.
I'll do a little back one, but no.
Why?
I don't know.
It seems like most of your
story or your story is your
time is in the Muslim faith
and your conversion to Christianity.
Right.
And so I would think that
you with President Bush,
isn't that President Bush
where you have your head covering?
Almost all the presidents I've made.
Well,
then I'd use Trump for sure if you
have one of those.
No, Trump has no head covering.
But President Bush in your
head covering and then you now,
maybe you holding the
picture of you and
President Bush and you with
your cross and your smiling
face in front of Calvary
Chapel Chino Hills with
Pastor Jack's arm around you.
See, I even cut myself out.
Maybe I should be in there too.
But you holding a picture of yourself.
Oh, Kerry just dinged.
Portraits are for home,
not for the book cover.
Thank you, Kerry.
Best title ever, Days of Deception.
Yeah, and if you remember,
he tells the story how the
publishers were like,
if you don't want to write a book, well,
can we buy the title from you?
And he's like, wait a minute.
Why do you want to buy the title from me?
Okay, I'm going to write a book.
that's sussy yeah so I love
that so kevin says he
visited the second biggest
mosque in the middle east
in bahrain and it was
almost the same size as the
one in dearborn that's a
lot of well money no if
that's the case um that's
probably money from one of
those countries for sure
wow that is interesting
though that the saudis are
responsible yeah I've
written so many reports
about that so many
If Kevin, you're ever interested,
you could look up Google my
name and radicalism in
Pakistan or Southeast Asia.
My reports are all on Amazon.
How about a picture for your
cover of one of those wire
baskets you can see through
with your head covering in the trash can?
Just to drive home the point.
Yeah.
I actually picture a soldier
of some sort in the ancient
Christian format.
Riding his horse over a Muslim.
So your team,
they said no to your picture
on the cover?
I'm a little surprised.
They agreed.
They're not fans of, I guess,
portraits on the cover.
Maybe that's passe.
Because, you know,
you got any of the more famous, I mean,
in a nonfiction in fiction, of course,
you put some picture of a
castle or long haired man
with his shirt off.
But most of the nonfiction
where it's that person's story,
I remember typically seeing
Some picture of them.
Not in Oprah.
Oprah has a book with her
picture on the cover.
Oh, really?
One of them.
I mean, you can't do all of them.
I mean, her magazine,
every cover of the magazine
had a picture of her.
Yes, for sure.
Obama didn't have his face on the cover.
Really?
What do you have?
I don't remember.
It just said Obama.
Just said.
Worst president in U.S.
history.
Kevin says.
Which Muslim country doesn't like Lebanon?
Lebanese are moving to my
town because of conflict
with the dearborn Muslims.
Oh, that is fascinating.
There might be a civil war
there in Michigan.
Oh, there's so, oh my, Kevin,
that's such a long story.
But so the Lebanese can be Christians,
Shiites, or Sunnis.
The dearborn Muslims are
kind of hardcore Sunni Palestinians.
and shiites so like one
faction of them are um
shiites that are supported
by iran like either iran
asia but for the most part
they're sunni palestinians
At least that's what first settled there.
So the ones that are coming
that are Lebanese,
and are you sure they're not Christians?
Because the Lebanese Christians don't want,
the Maronites don't want to
live anywhere near the Arab Muslims.
So there's that.
Or they could be the Shiites
that feel like they don't
want to be in the Sunni areas.
They could be Lebanese Shiites themselves.
Why do they move so close?
Why don't they move like to
get completely like another state?
Because of grocery stores.
They want to be near the markets,
halal meat.
Because in Michigan, like so for example,
we lived in Fenton,
which Kevin knows is in 45
minutes to an hour from Dearborn.
But we slaughtered all of our own animals.
So that's where we got the meat.
Otherwise,
we had people that had to go
back and forth to Dearborn.
Did you slaughter an animal?
No.
That wasn't my job.
I got paid to think big thoughts.
I didn't break down doors.
I didn't kill people.
Like, everyone's always asking me those,
did you have a badge?
Did you have a gun?
No, no.
I always got paid to think big thoughts.
You ever strapped on a bomb vest?
No.
Andy.
That's so offensive.
That was over the line.
Yes,
because I spent my entire life
fighting that.
I'll take it back.
I spent my entire life fighting that.
I think a bag.
Okay.
Did you see that?
I saw that.
I grabbed it.
I love you enough to forgive you.
I threw it in that trash can
that I was mentioning earlier.
I love you enough to forgive you.
I'm glad because we had an
amazing weekend together.
We did.
And I just want to tell you
how much I love you.
And I'm looking forward to
tacos right now.
So.
Yeah.
Well, see,
you love me because I introduced
you to Mexican food.
Yes.
For the most part.
Deborah was a warrior.
Yes, actually,
that's what Pastor Jack
named me when I met him.
So I think that's one of my names, too.
I'm really now interested in
thinking about this cover.
Well,
I'm just excited to throw it out to
10 designers and six
different covers and see
what they come up with.
Yeah.
That's a great program.
Right?
I love that.
I'm going to upload a bunch
of pictures of stuff that I like, too.
And it may surprise you,
the one that starts to win.
Right.
You'll go, oh,
I really wasn't thinking about that one.
And I think I'm going to
upload some of the images
that my friend made me for
Resurrect Ministry for my
social media posts.
Some of those are kind of cool, too.
That'd be good.
Very cool.
Anything else, Snooks,
besides... I like Kevin.
If you like good late night food,
now is the time in the area.
It's Ramadan and everything
in the area is open all night.
Because everybody's asleep all day.
Remind me again,
what's the name of the city you're in,
Kevin?
Do they sleep because they're not eating?
And so it's faster to get
through that... The day,
if you reverse it.
So basically you just end up
reversing the day and the night.
Is that allowed?
Apparently, if you go to Saudi Arabia,
everything is closed all
day and everybody's asleep all day.
Yeah.
God isn't up to their tricks.
He doesn't go.
You can't do that.
Oh, I mean.
Who's to say how far gone
that whole thing is?
Because we used to get most
my Christmas gifts in the
morning of Christmas.
Now we get some on Christmas Eve.
you know I normally go to
bed like at 11 o'clock 12
o'clock at night because I
watched johnny carson even
as a little kid but on
christmas eve I go to bed
at eight because I wanted
to sleep through the night
because I couldn't stand
staying up and waiting
because all I thought was I
need to I need to go sleep
so I can get my gifts
Did you have to wait for everybody else?
You couldn't wait until the morning,
did you?
Yeah, and I'd sit by the gifts waiting.
Were you always disappointed every year?
No.
I got a water ski, which I wanted.
That was amazing.
Bicycle, my magic set.
No, I got some good guys.
Garden City,
you can shoot a cannon down
Ford Road and no one is out.
Wow.
That must be weird, Kevin,
to feel like a transplant.
My girlfriend, we grew up in Beverly Hills,
so we went to all Beverly Hills schools,
and she lives in the house
that she grew up in.
and raising her daughter there.
And she pulled her daughter
out of the school
originally because she said
there's a whole white
flight in Beverly Hills
because it's all Persians, but Jewish,
but all Persians.
And she says it's so
uncomfortable being white
in Beverly Hills now.
Crazy, you know?
It's crazy.
Entire cities are... And
when Steve Emerson first said that,
there are no-go zones,
and there's ghettos, and Europe,
people flipped out.
Like,
that's the stupidest... There are
streets in South Hall I
would never walk down by myself.
And now, with no head cover,
I wouldn't even go to South Hall.
Yeah, well,
they're saying London is like
that right now.
London was... Progressively,
more and more streets were
taken over in London, for sure.
I mean, South Hall isn't London.
So parts of London are
complete no-go zones.
Wow.
All right.
Did we get any prayer requests?
No, the Lunch and Learns, yeah,
the Lunch and Learns are different.
Yeah,
we'll just do a general prayer for
everyone.
Okay.
Dear Lord,
thank you for this opportunity
to speak with your sons and
daughters and those who do
not yet know you.
May your word go out in spirit and truth.
May it be sharper than a two-edged sword.
May it cut between bone and
marrow and soul and spirit, Lord,
to reveal the thoughts of our hearts.
And may we grow closer to you.
May it convict us of things
that we're doing wrong, Lord,
and the sins that we
repented from and return to,
the sins we commit against
ourselves and against others, Lord.
Forgive us.
We come to you in repentance, Lord,
and we ask for you to heal
our land and to heal our
nation and to heal our
communities and families and draw them,
those that know you, Lord,
and are far from you,
draw them back to you.
And those who do not yet know you,
give them saving faith in Christ, Lord.
We ask for healing and
restoration for all our
friends who are suffering
from afflictions.
And we ask for joy, Lord,
joy of the Lord and peace
that passes all understanding.
We love you.
It's in the mighty name of
Jesus that we ask all things.
Amen.
Just real quick, I just pray around 6,
between 6 and 6.30,
I'll be at the school board
meeting tonight.
Yes.
Making my comment.
Pray that I get the words
out and that it honors God.
All right, my friends, we love you.
Love you.
God bless.
Bye.
Oh, where is it?
There it is.
Bye.
