A highlight from Called to Catch Men
"Well is there not a world of instruction for us here? First of all, do what Jesus says. Do what he says. Nevertheless, at thy word, we will cast down our nets. Keep preaching the word. Preach to myself. Keep casting the net. When doubts come, you resolve them here. When you're tired, when you're frustrated, when you're deposed, when you catch nothing for weeks, for months, for years. It's not easy but it's simple. Do what Jesus says. Keep casting the net of the Gospel. And believe that he has power to bring the fish in. And believe him when he says that his word will not return unto him void. Because he really has power over the hearts of men to bring them into the net or the advance of his kingdom. Those who would catch men must ultimately learn their art here. From the ministry of Christ himself who was preaching the word everywhere he went, to everyone he met. May God give us grace as a church to do so. Let's stand for prayer. O Lord our God Most High, we thank you for the glory of Christ. Some here today have seen it, some have not. Maybe some who have heard the call that comes on the back of it are now shutting their eyes to it. Lord there's something compelling here. That we have to present ourselves like Isaiah and Peter and others. That we would lay our life before you and say what would you have me to do. Too often we come and we tell you what we will do, what we're willing to do. It's not the Christian response, what would thou have me to do. Make our sons and use them for the glory of thy name and the preaching of your word. And we pray that knowing Lord that that might mean huge things for our family. That they could be thrust to the furthest ends of the earth to preach the gospel. And yet we know that such a thing would be good. We pray Lord that you would give us a burden for souls. That we would see ourselves collectively as a church, as net casters. And that we would go forth seeking the lost that we might bring them to Jesus. That you would make us not to be weary in well doing knowing that in due time we should reap if we faint not. Lord, kill in our hearts our stupid notions of building our own kingdom. Crucify them, crucify them O God. And replace that with a burning and singular desire. To seek first thy kingdom, whatever that means. We lay all of our boats and our nets, whatever they are, at thy feet today. And if you would have us continue to use them, we'll use them. We'll be diligent in our calling. But we leave it all at thy feet. We pray that you would lead and guide for Jesus' sake. Amen.

A highlight from Zechariah Evangelism
"Good morning. Our third Sunday sermon series through Zechariah is coming to a close here. I'm not sure if we'll have another message after this one. Usually, after I get to the end of a book, we'll go back and do a review message, which was last month, and then a message relating, whatever the book was, to evangelism. So that's today. Zechariah evangelism. And so let's pray that God will bless us today. Lord God, we thank you that all of your Word is an evangelistic tool, for faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. And we know that we see scriptures that we can identify better as evangelistic, but we know that all of your Word is truth, and truth convicts of sin, and conviction of sin then can lead to repentance. And so we pray, Lord, that you would make us wise evangelists. And so help us in that today. We ask it for Jesus' sake. Amen. The book of Zechariah is a revelation or a revealing of Jesus the Messiah. As such, it is a good resource for evangelism. Today we utilize Zechariah for evangelism in the form of a letter to an unbelieving friend. So I hadn't done this before, so it may seem a little bit strange. It's going to seem a little strange to me. But I have always found that evangelism encourages the saints to say, well, I don't need to come to faith in Christ, but I love hearing, well, it's kind of like the hymn, isn't it? I love to tell the story. I love to hear the story of unseen things above. And so if it just falls flat, then I know you all will still love me. And you'll just say, don't do that again. That was silly. Just send your letter to your friend and preach us a regular message, OK, if it doesn't work out. But I think it's going to encourage you. OK. Kids speak. Kids, what book are we looking at today? Zechariah. What are we going to do with Zechariah today? We're going to use it to write a letter to a friend telling them how important it is to trust Jesus. So I sent you an email with this without anything but the letter. So if you actually wanted to use it and instead of friend put somebody's name, you could do that. Dear friend, would you allow me to share some observations about a certain book in the Bible? I have found this book particularly beneficial, and I believe you may benefit from its content as well. It's the book of Zechariah, the second to the last book in our English Old Testament. God showed Zechariah some strange things, and probably many today would think he wasn't quite in his right mind when he saw them. But all his visions had their basis in what Moses and the preceding prophets had been shown. First, though, a little historical setting for the book. It was written when the Jews came back from captivity in Babylon. God had allowed his own people to be defeated by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. That was because they had done just about everything he had told them not to do and had stopped doing the things they were supposed to do. As Zechariah reminded his audience, the Lord of Heaven's assembly said, exercise true judgment and show brotherhood and compassion to each other. You must not oppress the widow, the orphan, the resident foreigner, or the poor, nor should anyone secretly plot evil against his fellow citizen. But they refused to pay attention, turning away stubbornly and stopping their ears so they could not hear. Indeed, they made their hearts as hard as diamond so that they could not obey the Torah and the other words the Lord of Heaven's assembly had sent by his spirit through the former prophets. Therefore, the Lord of Heaven's assembly has poured out to great wrath. You can see that God had given them very sensible directions for treating each other right. Who would not agree that these rules were fair and just? Yet they had turned a deaf ear mistreating one another. And even though we agree that compassion and helping the disadvantaged are right, would it take much digging to where we too have turned a deaf ear to divine instructions? Kids speak. Kids, God gives us the rules for how to treat each other right. But have we broken those rules? Yeah. Do we need God to forgive us? Zechariah had opened his message with a similar reminder. He didn't place the responsibility in the past. Rather, he laid the impetus to respond on his own generation. Therefore, say to the people, the Lord of Heaven's assembly says, turn to me, says the Lord of Heaven's armies, and I will turn to you, says the Lord of Heaven's armies. Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the former prophets called out, saying, this is what the Lord of Heaven's assembly has said, turn now from your evil wickedness. But they would by no means obey me, says the Lord. God told the people to turn to him, even though it appeared that they had already started obeying God again, since they had made the dangerous journey from Babylon to rebuild a burned -down Jerusalem, the walls of which had been completely leveled, exposing them to dangerous enemies. But God saw that their hearts were still not turned to him. Even though they were facing many difficult and discouraging circumstances, God knew that no obstacle could be greater than having their attention divided from him. Kid Speed, if we obey some things, God says, does that mean we obey everything he says? No. All of us probably could say we obey some things. He told them if they turned to him, he would turn to them. Well, that's certainly a square deal. Before God gave them into Babylon's hands, he had spent generations trying to turn them from their misdeeds. Now he was patiently starting over with them again. And how did they respond? Zechariah 1 .6, and they turned and said, the Lord of Heaven's assembly planned to do with us according to our ways, yes, according to our deeds, so he has dealt with us. God told them to turn, and they turned. Zechariah's audience responded favorably to his message of repentance, at least at first. They took responsibility for their waywardness, and they accepted God's gracious invitation to fellowship, that he would turn to them as well. Now they were ready to hear how God would bring them a final deliverance from all danger. It would come through a single man. Kids speak. Kids, the people Zechariah was talking to knew that they hadn't done what God said, so they turned back to him. Is that what we should do, too? Come on, nod your head with me. They were rebuilding Solomon's temple, but Zechariah had a message of another temple that would have to be built if they were going to be finally saved, Zechariah 6 .12. This is what the Lord of Heaven's assembly says, here is the man whose name is the sprig. He will branch out from where he is and will rebuild the temple of the Lord. They were rebuilding the temple, so it must have been a surprise to hear about someone else who needed to come and build another new one. Ezra and Zerubbabel were leading the present rebuilding effort. Who was this other man in such a strange name, the sprig? But Zechariah and his colleagues had already been told about the sprig. They had already been told that the sprig had something to do with the priesthood. God had spoken to their own high priest, Joshua, not the Joshua of the book of Joshua, Zechariah 3 .8. Listen, high priest Joshua, you and those companions of yours who sit with you, for these men are a sign that I am presenting my servant the sprig. The very fact that God's people needed a new high priest every time the last one died showed that a final permanent priest was needed. The fact that they had a day of atonement every year showed that their sins were not being removed permanently. They needed a once for all payment for sin. That was apparently going to be the work of the sprig. And why call the sprig? Simply because he would start fresh. He wouldn't build onto the existing structure of the Levitical priesthood, and that is exactly what has come about. Jesus came from the tribe of Judah, not Levi. Yet he acted as a priest, offering himself as a sacrifice for sins. Kids, one of the names for Jesus in Zechariah is sprig. What's a sprig? Well, it's a plant when it first starts growing. Why was Jesus called sprig? Because he had to do everything over right from the start. We had messed everything up, so he had to start all over like a little sprig. God then immediately added a new name to Christ the sprig, calling him a stone. For he grew from his small beginning to become the sacrifice for sin, both permanent and solid qualities a stone represents. Zechariah 3 .9. Look, the stone that I put in place in Joshua's presence, on that one stone are seven eyes. And look, I will do the engraving myself, declares the Lord of Heaven's assembly. And I will remove the perversity of that land in a single day. There's one of the strange symbols of Zechariah, a stone with seven eyes. Of course, it's figurative. The mental image of a seven -eyed stone probably confuses us at first, but the stone is made less mysterious in light of the engraving, an engraved stone. The eyes most simply symbolize sight. Really the most elusive aspect of the image is the seven. That one takes a little bit of biblical familiarity. We find by induction, looking at places where seven occurs, that seven connotes completeness. So seven eyes indicate complete sight. The stone then is a figurative way to tell us that the Messiah would be omniscient. To see everything is to know everything. In other words, the Messiah would be God. Kids speak. Kids, another name for Jesus in Zechariah is the stone. Why is he a stone? Because he stays the same, like a rock, when he says he will save us. That word is as firm as a rock. Well, what about the engraving on the stone? Well, in light of the prompt removal of the land's perversity, the engraving is most likely the engraving of the land's perversity into the stone. It's an engraving God does himself. And isn't this what God the Father did when Jesus was on the cross, engrave his people's sins into him? Kids speak. Zechariah calls Jesus a rock that God carves on. Well, what did God carve into Jesus? Our sins. When our sins were carved into Jesus, did that take the sins away from us? Yep, carved onto him. That's how it works. This sprig who became the stone was God's way of explaining to Joshua the high priest what had just happened to him. So rewind to the beginning of the chapter, Zechariah 3, 1 through 4, and he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the messenger of the Lord, and Satan was standing on his right to accuse him. But the Lord said to Satan, the Lord rebukes you, oh Satan, the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebukes you. Is this not a stick snatched from the fire? And Joshua was clothed in filthy garments and was standing before the messenger. And he answered and said to the one standing before him, saying, remove the filthy garments from him. And he said to him, see, I have taken away your guilt from you and will clothe you with rich garments. The high priest, the man in Israel who presided over the sacrifices for removing sin, he himself stood unclean before God. Satan was there accusing him. But God did not argue the basic fact of Joshua's defilement. No, in fact, God's rebuke of Satan got right to the matter of Joshua's deficiency. He called Joshua a stick snatched from the fire. Joshua was like a stick that was going to burn, but God had pulled him out of the fire. Kids, God said that Joshua the high priest was like a stick that was about to burn, but God pulled it out of the fire. Is that what God does when Jesus saves us? Pulls us out of hell? Yeah. We were headed right for hell. So, wow, we should really thank Jesus, shouldn't we? Ah, dear friend, I can tell you that describes me as well. I was a stick ready to burn, already as good as it ignited. Yes, that has me listening to God's words as closely as I'm sure Joshua was. Remove his filthy garments. Men on earth couldn't see the dirty clothing, but there in heaven we see the reality. Joshua already believed that he needed spiritual cleansing, otherwise he would not have made the annual sacrifice on the Day of Atonement for his own sins. But now he got to see how his defilement looked in God's presence. Satan didn't even have to lie, though he's good at it. A defiled Joshua was his exhibit A, and he needed no further proof. Friend, if the highest religious official amongst God's people was tarnished by sin, everyone else on earth was as well. The high priest needed the engraved stone to be engraved with his own sins. That's why God showed Joshua that vision, so that Israel's high priest could model for the nation their need to hope in God's final high priest. I have that same hope. I have trusted in Jesus of Nazareth as the sacrifice that covers my sin, dear friend. Kids, if Satan came before God and said, look at Pastor Cain, he's a dirty sinner, how can he be a Christian? What would God say? He would say, but I cleaned Pastor Cain up by what Jesus did on the cross. You can say the same thing for you, right? You may have noticed that I am referring to Jesus as both the high priest and the sacrifice. That is correct. He is both. If our sins were engraved into him, that makes him the sacrifice. But he was the one who offered himself up to be sacrificed. He is also the priest. In fact, Jesus fulfilled virtually every aspect of the temple, the furniture, its procedures, and the priests processing them. He puts the fill in fulfillment. I have been to your ear a long time. Thank you for your patience. I will bring this to an end. Zechariah 12, 10. And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of prayer, then they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn over him. Jesus was a Jew, and he came to his countrymen first. They passed him by. But one day God promises that they will recognize him. Zechariah 13, 1. On that day, a well will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem to cleanse them from sin and from impurity. And they will recognize their Messiah. They will recognize what he did for them. Kids speak. Another thing Zechariah says Jesus is like is a well. Why is that? Well, because you can wash with water from a well just like you can have your sins washed away by Jesus' blood. Until then, that same well is open to all men. Zechariah 2, 11. Many nations will join themselves to the Lord on the day of salvation, and they will also be my people. And here we are. Christ's saving message reaches more and more people groups year by year. But the end gathering will not last indefinitely. Christ will return to finalize his work on earth. Zechariah 14, 4. On that day, his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives. That was the location from which he left the earth in the sight of his apostles ascending into heaven. That is where he has an appointment to return. Kids, where is Jesus right now? Heaven. Will he always stay there? No. He's coming back here to be king of everybody in the world. Oh, that'll be a great day, won't it? Dear friend, there is a sacrifice that washes away our sins and renews us. Do we need cleansing and new life? Zechariah, like the rest of scriptures, tells us that if we have dishonored God and broken his commandments, we need Jesus' purifying sacrifice. I pray to God that you will join me as one who confesses Christ as Lord and Savior. For the walking wounded, as 1 Thessalonians 5, 14 says, uphold the strengthless. It's easy to forget that when we first came to God, we were complete spiritual invalids. I think most of us continue to think, hmm, I don't think I've changed much since then, but we're supposed to mature. All scripture is profitable for teaching, for conviction. The gospel is good news. May fear not cause me to hesitate in telling it as though it were basically bad news. It does contain bad news, but the gospel is basically good news. If you just tell good news without contexting it with the bad news, unless the person already gives you that and says, oh, I'm a defiled sinner. What can I do? Well, of course, you can just march right into, here's the means of cleansing. But if not, you need to let them know that, yes, we are sinners headed for hell. But the gospel is basically good news, which is how we should present it. All scripture is profitable for correction. I will remember that the good news is what properly contexts the bad news of our sinfulness, our enmity with God, and our coming judgment. God justly put all these aside in the cross. And all scripture is profitable for teaching, conviction, correction, for schooling in righteousness. Nothing wrong with asking God to just drop witnessing opportunities into our lap rather than worrying about segues. How do I get from a regular conversation into a gospel conversation? And, of course, we want to be able to do segues, too. But in the meantime, it's a good thing to ask every day who knows who I'll meet today. Maybe the door will just swing wide open, and I need to be ready to walk in. Wrap up, Colossians 4, 5, and 6. You can see it on the left side there. Walk in wisdom toward those on the outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, having been seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. And then breaking it down phrase by phrase, walk in wisdom toward those on the outside. God give me a special wisdom like a person on a mission. Redeeming the time, God give me sufficient urgency. Let your speech be always with grace. God give me words that make good transitions to the gospel. Having been seasoned with salt, God give me a bright countenance and inviting words that you may know how you ought to answer each one. God give me increasing sensitivity to see particular burdens in the lives of others that I may point them to the burden -bearer. Amen. Let's pray. Lord God, thank you for your words. We pray, Lord, that you will grant a day of revival when the subject of God and of being right with God is simply part of the national conversation. And we know that you have done this before in days of revival, that people simply become curious again. And you pique their curiosity and we can simply walk right into witnessing situations. But until then, Lord, we pray that we would remember Colossians 4, 5, and 6, that we would walk in wisdom towards them, that we would seek out opportunities, that we would always have gracious speech, and that we would season it with salt and make it attractive. And that you might help us better and better to recognize needs in people's lives that will present the gospel's introduction. Lord, bless these, your people, all your people here on earth, worshiping you today. In Jesus' name, amen.

A highlight from WM 290: Sermon Review: Five Dangers of Calvinism: Part 4
"Greetings and welcome to Word Magazine. This is Jeff Riddle, I'm the pastor of Christ Reformed Baptist Church in Louisa, Virginia. And in this episode of Word Magazine, we're going to be continuing and hopefully completing the series we've been doing recently of reviewing an anti -Calvinistic sermon. Now this sermon is preached by a man named Yankee Arnold. And we have been looking at this sermon that was titled Five Dangers of Calvinism. I've done three previous episodes and hopefully again this is going to be the fourth and last in this series. I was talking to some people at church on Sunday who were following this and including with the man who was really the reason for the series, a fellow who asked me what my reaction was to this video. Someone had shared it with him and I told him that I would try to do a review of it and so I've been doing that and it's been appreciated by him and I'm glad of that and he has given us some good ground for some conversation. In reviewing this video, we've seen that not only is there a question at stake about the sovereignty of God and salvation but also what the perseverance of saints is. If we persevere in the faith, is it our work or is it God's work? And we believe that both salvation and perseverance in the faith is a work of God. One of the other key things we have noted is the importance of the doctrine of regeneration. That when God saves a man, that he transforms him, he changes his heart. Like Lydia in Acts 16, the Lord opened her heart to heed the things that were spoken by Paul and so there's a change of heart, there's a change of nature. It's not complete in this life because we're not yet in the state of glory but there is a work of progressive sanctification and we sort of have uncovered this as we've gone through it. This is another aspect of the Bible's teaching that Pastor Arnold seems to be denying. Well again, I hope that we can listen in and complete this series today. I think there's about 11 or so minutes left and so without any further ado, I'm going to pull this up and let me just say once again, I've just got my Bible in front of me. I've got some notes. I have my second London Baptist confession of faith and also have a copy of a little book that I've written that's available on Amazon on the doctrines of grace, an introduction to the five points of Calvinism and if this is something you weren't previously aware of, a teaching in scripture you weren't aware of, I would commend my book to you. So let's go ahead and again see if we can pull up Pastor Arnold's message here on YouTube, Five Dangers of Calvinism. We're going to pick it up here about the 38 minute, 50 second mark and so let me just say where we are. You might remember if you listened to the last episode, he had been talking about Romans 9 and he had tried to give an alternative explanation to the understanding of the potter and clay image that Paul uses in Romans 9, beginning in verse 21. And he gave, I think, a very fanciful explanation of it. He said, it's not about the potter being sovereign over the clay, but it's really about the sovereignty of the clay. The clay can change itself. The clay can make itself malleable. The clay can allow the potter to work upon it. And I suggested the last time that that interpretation just doesn't work on a plain sense level. Paul was saying that God is like the potter and the potter is sovereign over the clay. The clay doesn't dictate to the potter, but the potter is sovereign and he takes the clay and shapes it and uses it as he wills.

A highlight from Jeremiah: A Burning Word
"Jeremiah, a burning fire. We still have about two more messages in Judges, but that'll have to wait towards the end of October because the next two Sundays, and I'm just saying it now so don't forget at the end, Pastor Theron is going to begin a series on Amos, and so he'll be preaching the next two Sundays, and then I will finish out Judges, and then he will close out the Amos November series 5th when I'm in Nicaragua, but an opportunity to walk through that Old Testament book, and I'm looking forward to him preaching, for us getting to be able to sit under that for a whole series on the book of Amos, excited to learn what he has to share there. As I mentioned, Jeremiah and the idea of a burning fire, and just as we start out, I just want to make a statement that I think we all know, but God has not promised that we even will grasp exactly how what we do and experience functions and fulfills his great purpose. He hasn't promised that it's easy, and he hasn't promised that we will necessarily understand every component, but he has promised this, that what we do for him will be eternally fruitful and that he will make all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. The idea that it's not always easy and that it doesn't always make sense, if you turn into the Old Testament and look at the prophets, one of the prophets that exemplifies that truth so well is Jeremiah. He's described by some as the post -Christian prophet, the one to preach to post -Christian times. He's a man who was the unwanted yet truthful voice of God in his era. He was called to preach repentance to an unresponsive people. He confronted ungodly kings, untruthful prophets, and unfaithful people. As he states in Jeremiah 2 13, in a very clear illustration, he says, For my people have committed two evils. They have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water. He's constantly called to preach to a hard -hearted people for them to turn from this world's broken and false replica of a God to the only God who redeems the only God of life. It was a message largely unheeded by Judah, a message of judgment that saw fulfillment in Babylonian destruction and captivity, which was a reality that broke Jeremiah's heart. Irving Jensen says this, By divine design, it was Jeremiah who was called to prophesy in the darkest hours of Judah, when Judah as a nation died. He is known as the weeping prophet and the prophet of the broken heart, but he wept not for his own trials, grievous as they were. It was the sins of his nation and the fearful destruction these sins were bringing upon them that broke Jeremiah's heart. So as Francis Schaeffer notes, Jeremiah provides us with an extended study of an era like our own, where men have turned away from God and society has become post -Christian. And it's to this type of people, this ministry, that the divinely called Jeremiah struggled at times to understand and accept his role in giving God's message. He preached 50 plus years going through, I think, four different kings. He faced opposition and derision, and at times he wondered internally with why God has called him to this task. He wrestles with that thought continually throughout the book. But it is in those instances of distress that we get a window into the prophet's soul showing the deep personal price that he has to pay for his faith and his faithfulness. And it's to one of these that we're turning this morning, chapter 20 of Jeremiah, to see that battle and understand what it means to truly have a burning fire in your bones to proclaim God's truth, no matter the response or reality in which we live. My goal with this whole message, one, as we walked as a church in ordaining Pastor Theron to the gospel ministry is to be a call in his life that no matter what comes up that the Word of God is a burning fire, but it's also a call to us as a church to have a burning fire, a truly burning fire that we cannot but proclaim Christ no matter what we encounter in this world. So we encounter Jeremiah in the midst of one of his sermons or oracles preaching the destruction of Judah at the temple, and this is around 606 BC during the reign of King Jehoiakim. If you've ever read Jeremiah cover to cover and you're wondering if it's a chronological history, it is not. So it is based on these sermons and how they fit together and the message that God wants to bring. It's not always set in chronological order at all. So this is early on in Jeremiah, 1914 and 15. It says this. This is his message. Then came Jeremiah from Tophet with the Lord had sent him to prophesy and he stood in the court of the Lord's house and said to all the people, by the way, he was a prophet and a priest. Thus say at the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns, all the evil that I've pronounced against it because they have hardened their necks that they might not hear my words. And he is a weeping prophet, a broken prophet. He's the prophet that had to preach to people who didn't want to hear what he was saying because they had other prophets saying, don't worry, we're going to be fine. It's not going to be a problem. We're going to get over this. We're going to prosper. We're going to be victorious. And he is almost a singular voice during this time saying, no, that's not what God said, that God has something else for us. Well, a man named Pasha, who is both a priest and the chief officer, here's Jeremiah speaking and he has Jeremiah whipped in scripture. It says he's beaten and really likely what Jeremiah received at that time were 40 lashes based on what Deuteronomy 25 three would allow. And so when you see that he got beat, it's not a whipping or two, but instead a formal punishment that took place. And then it says that pasture placed him in the stocks where his hands, feet and head were placed through holes, which contorted his body and caused extreme pain. Where is he placed in the stocks? It's not in prison, but it's at the gate. There's stocks at the gate. It's the Benjamin gate, upper Northern Benjamin gate because they wanted everyone to see what happens to someone that confronts them and speaks of God's judgment. Jeremiah is released the next day and instead of backing down, he renames pasture to Magor Miss Abib and you, you get extra chicken if you remember that at the end of the service, what his name was. But it means this terror on every side and, and what Jeremiah was saying was he was reiterating his message. He says, pasture, you're going to see your friends struck down on by the sword. You're going to witness people you know, hauled off to Babylon. He himself will be hauled off to Babylon after seeing the Babylonians take all the wealth of Judah and Jerusalem and that he would ultimately die there and be buried with the friends to whom he pasture had prophesied falsely. I want us to see as he's coming out of the pain and punishment, what he did yet those strong and bold words from Jeremiah were not all he was feeling or experiencing. The rest of the chapter deals with a cry to God saying that the mocking and the disrespect and the ridicule or are wearing on him. He preaches God word and it says he feels like it's become a reproach and the reason why people attack him. He wants to stop speaking God's word but realizes that he cannot stop speaking because that truthful message is in his heart and not speaking God's word creates a burning in his bones and what they're trying to say is there is such an intensity that you cannot stop a burning word that he must preach no matter how his world responds and so with that burning word in perspective, we take a moment to see and recognize what can waylay us from speaking it. For Theron, I kind of specifically kind of diving in for him on this. What can knock you off course? What are things that can come in and recognizing what they are from Jeremiah's circumstances and then seeing how they are overcome and so as we look at Jeremiah's circumstances, we must first recognize the potential pressure. Jeremiah 21 through six, it says, now, pasture, the son of emir, the priest who was also chief governor in the house of the Lord, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things. Then pasture smote Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the Lord, and it came to pass on the morrow that pasture brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him and pastures thinking that Jeremiah is going to recant. He says, the Lord had not called by name pasture, but Maggore, Miss Abib. For thus say at the Lord, behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself and to all thy friends and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies and then I shall behold it and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, which is the first time he names the oppressor that's coming in a specific way and he shall carry them captive into Babylon and shall slay them with the sword. Moreover, I will deliver all the strength of this city and all the labors thereof and all the precious things thereof and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them and take them and carry them to Babylon and now pasture and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity and now shall come to Babylon and there thou shalt die and shall be buried there. Thou and all thy friends to whom thou has prophesied lies. And if you think Jeremiah is a coward and I want you to make sure you get this image correct in your mind as we walk into where his, his struggle comes, you recognize that after being beat 40 times, put in stocks for 24 hours, that when you're released and the first thing you say is what I said is right and let me get very personal and let you know exactly what's going to happen to you. You recognize that this is not a coward or a weak man. What we see is that Jeremiah encountered significant pressure or pushback from the world of his day. They're not pleased with what he's saying. He's actually accused of being a traitor. They wanted to kill him for committing treason because he preached what God had said and Later on in his ministry, beyond this beating in the stocks later on, they're going to throw them in a pit that has water in it. It's sinking constantly to let them drown in a very slow way. The reality of God's truth though, is often those who need it and who we are striving to reach hate it, and that's something we have to accept as we bring truth that the world doesn't love truth, that the world is not enamored with truth. They're not sitting there saying, Oh, everything makes sense to me, but instead they will come after truth with some of the ugliest hate possible. They can resort to violence and physical attack. Many of us cannot fathom the idea or that reality. We don't see that in our world and in our, in our country, but we know that around the world fellow believers face physical attacks for believing and preaching God's word. I read the voice of the martyr and go through it and I'm just shocked by different sufferings that people walk through. I just read of one where they lock Christians up in sea containers in the middle of the desert and give them meager rations. You imagine how hot that gets in there and the suffering that is faced and yet those people remain faithful to the word. There is a potential for physical abuse. This world hates the message of truth that God has sent to it. Now, along with that physical abuse, one that we probably will encounter more quickly, we find psychological stress. Don't lose sight of where he was put in the stocks. He's in the north gate off of the court of the Lord. So at the temple, they have punishment designed to be public and they're taking a man who is both a priest and a prophet who's preached God's word, who knows that truth, and they've made a public example of him and they've set him up to be ridiculed. He's sitting there. Later on, Jeremiah will talk about the fact that he hears many whisperings. In this chapter alone, and we'll see it in the next segment, he talks about this idea that his closest friends have denounced him.

"With Bloomberg, you get the story behind the story, the story behind the global birth rate, behind your EV battery's environmental impact, behind sand, yeah, sand, you get context. And context changes everything. Go to Bloomberg .com to get context. Maybe I don't know, something that's just completely divorced from all of that. But look at the data that we got this morning, guys. What does that tell you about economic conditions and what's the setup then as we head into Friday? We got an awful day yesterday, but clawing back some of those losses here on this Wednesday afternoon, so a bit of a reprieve here to be sure. The Dow Jones Industrial Average looks like it's going to finish out the day higher by more than 100 points, up about four tenths of a percent. The S &P 500, which yesterday was flirting with a break below the 200 -day moving average, now trying to create some distance between the two, higher by about 34 points or eight tenths of a percent, while the NASDAQ is going to close higher by 1 .4 percent. And let's check in on the Russell 2000, because the cyclical trade had started to gain a little bit of steam. You did not necessarily see that today. The Russell is your relative laggard on the day, only higher by about a tenth of a percent. All right. So let's dig a little bit deeper into the S &P 500, and it probably looked a lot different certainly earlier today. But right now, Scarlett, you've got, what, almost 400, 377 names to the upside in the S &P 500, 125 to the downside. The S &P 500, which is skimming along that oversold RSI level, you know, as soon as it hits it, it just kicks to the upside. You find buyers coming in. And we closed near our highs. It's notable that the last 35 minutes of trading or so, it's pretty much it feels like it was a straight line up. When you look at the sector breakdown, I mean, just 30 minutes ago, this was pretty mixed. At least at midday, it was definitely flirting with a lot more red. In the end, you have autos and components, software and services and media entertainment all gaining at least one and a half percent. Look at autos, up 5 % as a group. And then on the downside, energy stocks lower by more than 3%, telecom stocks, utilities.

A highlight from 1278. Gensler LOST AGAIN! | Judge Shreds SEC Appeal! | XRP Update
"Let's get into some XRP news today and talk about the SEC taking another black eye. These guys are taking round after round from the judge, and it's going to be an interesting one for sure. You don't want to miss this show. All right, my name is Paul Baron. Welcome back into Tech Path. Let's get into it. A couple of topics that we'll break down from the judge, but also the kind of impact this could have for the overall crypto markets, even the Coinbase case. We'll give you guys kind of a rundown. One thing I do want to do is thank our sponsor, and that's iTrust Capital. If you guys are looking at going into long -term investing into crypto IRAs, this is one of the vehicles you can use, and it's very simple to do it. Easy to start up, there's no monthly fees, and all you have to do is you can do your own self -directed trading. So if you want to get into XRP or others, you can do that right here within the iTrust Capital IRA. Very easy to join, and you'd be joining 200 another ,000 accounts that have already created IRAs there with iTrust. So check the link down below. You get a $100 funding reward if you decide to do something there. Helps our channel out. Appreciate that. All right, so let's get into a couple things here. I want to go over to the PDF here. This is the judge response, and there's a few points. I'm going to kind of zoom in on this a little bit for you guys. There's a few spots in here. There's going to be a lot of scrolling, but the point is we're going to get to a couple of points here. I want to go down here to page five. All right, so let's get into this. First, SEC has not presented a pure question of law. This is one of the things that the judge has already pretty much put in in the judgment on the first ruling, and of course, kind of them just saying, hey, this is, you're still in the same position here. In fact, the court specifically rejected defendants' essential ingredients, the legal test, and applied the SEC's legal standards. So this was where the SEC was essentially trying to create their own rules. Judge says, nope, not going to work here. Further into the document, the SEC seeks to appeal question C, and issuers offers and sales of crypto assets and trading platforms create a reasonable expectation of profits based on the efforts of others. But the court did not hold that offers and sales on a digital asset exchange can create a reasonable expectation of profits based on the efforts of others. So I think that is pretty much the same kind of scenario that's playing out in the Coinbase trial that we will most likely, I think we're going to see a win there as well. Ripple's programmatic sales were blind, bid -asked transactions, same as almost every crypto transaction out there. Ripple's programmatic sales represented less than 1 % of the global XRP trading volume, did not make any promises or offers, and the SEC failed to provide evidence. The SEC failed to provide evidence, and she just keeps on, failed to provide evidence over and over on all of this. So really kind of hitting home on the SEC, just not holding up their end of being able to even prove that XRP or other digital assets are securities. Further in this document, it says the SEC failed to provide evidence and the development of use cases for the XRP ledger, which constitutes a tangible and definable consideration to Ripple. That's important. Court also rejected the SEC's argument that XRP provided Ripple employees as compensation and bonuses satisfies the Howie's first prong. So getting into a lot more detail here, and I think this is going to flow into the rest of the civil cases that are still out there against Garlinghouse and Larson. All right, so court rejects the SEC's remaining argument that the courts have accordingly found section five violations where unregistered crypto asset transactions occur not between the issuer and the investor, but through intermediaries, including on trading platforms, keyword on trading platforms. That is Coinbase in a nutshell. And I think that's the scenario. Digital assets I think are getting ready to fall outside of the guise of the SEC. Court rejects the argument that there is a substantial ground for difference of opinion, meaning it doesn't matter what you think the court has a rule of law to go by and we're going to affect it. And, uh, the SEC is not creating their own law, which is the other scenario. Okay, so further in the court, uh, in the document, the court cannot draw any conclusions about library's core reasoning, uh, to an issue because it was never litigated. Therefore the SEC fails to point to any digital asset cases which conflict with the court's holding as to the other distributions. If you don't know about what happened in the library case, this was a really a milestone event for the SEC, but now the court is pretty much saying, man, not really. Listen into this clip right here. After the blockchain was launched and we didn't do an ICO and this was during the ICO boom and then we said we were trying to be a conservative company and eventually the SEC sued us and they declined to actually bring the trial until shortly before the statute of limitations was going to hit on our, on our first buying time. Yeah. We came in and we did a whole presentation and they just used that stuff against us. Never answered a single one of our questions. We've said we'll destroy the entire company. We'll give you our entire pre -mon. You can have every dollar in our bank accounts, right? But what we want is the status that Bitcoin has, right? If I have to blow everything up, if that's what's somehow the difference here. Okay, fine. Just tell me that that's what I have to do. They won't tell you that. They'll say you're, I mean, seriously, it's so it like gives me an energy. That's crazy. I mean, that would be in the founder of library talking about how much pressure and just gravitas that the sec is wielding out there on small companies. And that's the problem of overreach that we talk about all the time. All right, so let's go back to, actually there's another clip I want to play for you. This is John Deaton. Listen to this one. The judge agreed with me, promised me, assured me that he was going to make sure that the world knew that his decision did not apply to secondary market transactions. And that was a very important point because judge Torres in the ripple case cites that hearing Jeremy Kaufman and library spend between one and $4 million and they spend another couple million dollars in legal fees. The sec spends ungodly amount of hours taxpayer money. And when it's all said and done, the government protected us by getting $111 ,000 in legal fees. From library. Well, we've successfully destroyed them financially. We did what we told Jeremy Kaufman we were going to do when he argued with us and we said, we will bankrupt you pal. What happened is the library is appealing the decision by the judge granting summary judgment to the sec. I think that they have been emboldened, if you will, because of the grayscale ruling by the ripple decision by maybe even the Uniswap decision by judge failure and hopefully a really good decision that comes down in the Coinbase motion to, to dismiss. Remember people, there's not a case in 80 years that supports taking an asset that may have been an investment contract in the beginning and then calling it an investment contract. The underlying asset forever. None. Yeah. So Deaton pretty, pretty benefit. I'm pretty passionate about that. And I think he does kind of hit that point home is that the sec kind of plays unfairly, not surprising and to anyone out there. But the good thing is, is now the courts are starting to rule against them. And this seems like they are finally in a position where they're taking the bully to class here further in the conclusion denied at the sec's request for a stay is also denied. So this court basically just lashed everything down. This is an interesting statement at the end prior to the final pretrial conference council for both parties along with parties themselves shall meet in person for at least one hour to discuss the settlement of the match. So they are really meaning the court is really pushing to get this done. This of course is Annalisa Torres, judge Annalisa Torres, which I think is the one that has pretty much outlined that the sec has no case here for digital asset control and most likely is going to fall under, under outside the graces of the court when it comes to the, to the Coinbase, uh, case as well. All right. Just a couple of tweets here. Uh, corrupt sec got an effort fail on their appeal. Judge Torres wrote the fail 10 times. Uh, here's Stuart Alderati, of course, the ripple attorney courts, um, July 13 ruling was and remains law of the land XRP is not a security. Jeremy Hogan comes in and says, Hey, okay, look here. A couple of things here that I want to note. Uh, and that is really this statement right here. This is a disaster for the agency. I'm going to mark that just it's there. This is a disaster for the agency, but I think this is, this is a good thing for crypto in general and digital assets. But more importantly, I think for digital asset technology and how all of this is moving forward, keeping government overreach out of industry and innovation is important because as you know, Deaton kind of mentioned, they went through all that, you know, millions and millions and millions of taxpayers money for $111 ,000 for a library case, which is probably going to get overturned out. So not a good one. Here was Scott, Scott Chamberlain, uh, further talking about the XRP case and he kind of hits something here. So there's a lot in change. SCC failed to prove its case. Now it has to push not something nice uphill with a pointy stick if it wants to win. So they have a huge boulder in front of them to get this done in being able to win. I think the SCC has lost this and I think it's going to start either looking very bad for Gensler or the SCC is going to start to pivot their position. Now you look at it politically, that could be the case because we're starting to see some things in DC that could also kind of tie into this. I want to go over to this last clip, which is Deaton talking about this a little bit further into what this might mean. Listen in. She said some XRP holders, no doubt bought XRP for speculative reasons and they may have relied on the efforts of Ripple, but the SCC didn't prove that. Programmatic sales of XRP on exchanges are not securities. XRP itself is not a security. And what she did in this decision was solidify it. And I'm telling you it's untouchable. It cannot be touched. She even said, look, I never said that it's impossible for some crypto token to still be a security when it's bought on an exchange. I've just said that XRP in this case with these facts are not period. She even made it more clear that as of right now on this day, excluding Bitcoin, XRP is the only one clearly, with legal clarity. I'm really hoping that judge failure comes through on the Coinbase decision because I think that will be when Gensler is forced to pivot. And that's when Elizabeth Warren has to accept that her anti crypto army is a bunch of old people about to die. All right, there you go. Anti crypto army dead. Uh, and I think back to my point is that I think that Gensler is going to pivot. He has to, this is starting to impede political positioning. It's also impeding the benefits of what the SCC is going to try to do in really the work they should be doing, which is real securities law. And that is the challenge because right now it's just overreached. This is just power grabs. You look at what Graywall was saying here. Of course, this is the Coinbase attorney. SCC just filed its opposition motion to dismiss their case. This is the opposition to the motion for Coinbase trying to get this dismissed. This is going to take on a light of its own. If you look back down here at the end, it says, we look forward to filing our reply in October 24th. So as always, we appreciate court's consideration. So this is probably going to move into November, but the key here is the SCC continues to lose and they're losing in very, very grandiose ways. And this is not good for anything from a governmental overreach standpoint. I think it's even worse for the political position of the SCC. And this also starts to change things dramatically, I think in digital assets as a whole. Most likely Coinbase is going to come out of this. Coinbase is going to look really good pretty soon. So, all right guys, we're going to get into that more. We're going to be covering more of this. Obviously we had the speaker house change up this week.

Simply Bitcoin
A highlight from El Salvador's Economy is BOOMING Because of Bitcoin | EP 837
"Yo, welcome to another episode of Simply Bitcoin Live. We're streaming from Santa Monica, California, also in, you know, in the greater Los Angeles area, because we're in L .A. for Pacific Bitcoin. Opti is currently on the move. He's he's traveling. So we got some people filling in for Opti today. We have my significant other who deals with my madness, deals with all the the Bitcoin talk, slowly converted her into Bitcoin. Slowly but surely, Internet Sophie. What's up? What is up, everybody? We're going to have to play producer here because we are in the same room and we're going to be giving each other a little bit of feedback. But I'm really excited to be here. It's the first time on the show. I'm honored. And yeah, let's get this rolling. Yeah. So it's going to be it's going to be a special show. But we have a lot to talk about today. We have we're going to talk about El Salvador, how else out, because that was one of the things that I've heard, like one of the criticisms was that Bitcoin wasn't directly responsible for El Salvador's economy doing well. Well, there is a report released by Banco Santander of Spain, and they said that Bitcoin tourism was directly responsible for a lot of, you know, El Salvador's economy improving. Also, not to mention the security stuff as well. And on top of that, the IMF released not only the IMF, the IMF and Jerome Powell, who is calling himself Jay Powell on Instagram, are starting to release memes. They're starting to release videos because they're realizing that they're losing ground on the battleground of the Internet. Now, unfortunately for them, we have home we have home turf advantage. Our meme addicts are better than theirs because they're based on truth and theirs are based on lies. So without their ability to control the narrative, like the total narrative, their memes will eventually fall short versus our memes. Again, we have we have the pillar of truth. We have a proof of work backing us. We have Bitcoin backing us. So I think we're going to out meme them, not to mention it's a bunch of boomers like trying to make Instagram videos like it's kind of strange. We're going to play it for you guys and we're talking about it. And also, I want to bring up my co -host today, the legendary one and only Mike Hobart. He's part of the Bitcoin Veterans podcast with Alex Stanzik and co. How are you doing, Mike? Thank you for filling in for Opti today. What up, nerds? Yeah, you don't have to thank me for that, man. As you guys know, specifically you and Opti, well, everybody else in the in the chat, I just enjoy doing this. So whenever you guys need some assistance, there's as long as the schedule permits, I have no problem helping cover down and talk about Bitcoin, dude. Well, I appreciate I appreciate you joining us, Mike, like always. And of course, we got Steve. Now, Steve is very interesting. He is he's a good friend of producer Jacob, and apparently he has solved the oracle problem or better. Maybe let me let me phrase it differently. He's presented a interesting solution to the oracle problem. So there's two problems in computer science, right? There's the two. Let me make sure I don't butcher this. The business in general's problem, which is something that I hate saying, saying that Bitcoin solved, but Bitcoin came up with a good solution for. And then there's the oracle problem, which is another problem in computer science. And Steve, apparently a lot of people were going crazy when you presented the solution. So could you talk a little bit about what the oracle problem is and what your solution does? Sure. Yeah, thanks for having me on the show. I'm not sure if I'd be quite so bullish to say I solved the oracle problem, but sure. So the oracle problem is, you know, who's the person that tells you what the USD price of Bitcoin or who's the person that tells you what the outcome of? Any event was betting on a football game or betting on an election or something like that. If you've got some kind of contract that needs to be settled, both of the people in the contract or both the people in the bet need to kind of agree that we are going to look to this source, you know, like NFL dot com or White House dot gov or like Coinbase dot com to tell us what the official answer is on the outcome that we're betting on. And this is a problem just because you basically need a trusted third party or some kind of centralized person to solve it. And so what I've done is I noticed a long time ago that the USD price of Bitcoin was an emergent on chain feature of the Bitcoin blockchain. And so I knew that I could tease out the price on chain for a while now. I've known this for like five years now, and I finally got around to doing it. There's multiple ways it could be done, but I released the UTX oracle dot pie dot p y. It's just a simple Python script. You can get it at UTXO dot live slash oracle. And this way, everyone can run the exact same very simple Python program and they can only communicate with their own node and takes about a minute to run, reads in 150 blocks or so. And you get the exact same price as everyone who runs this independently. That's kind of it's kind of nuts. I mean, there's trade offs. There's pros and cons. I won't say it's like the solution to the oracle problem. But like you said, just like Satoshi with Byzantine's general problem, it's not like he solved it. He just kind of like did some roundabout way about it. Yeah, exactly. I don't think they're solvable per se. I think that there's ways to tackle them. And they're, of course, like you mentioned earlier, there's trade offs. But it's very, very interesting because you used the basically data from Bitcoin to surmise the USD price without relying on a single exchange or a multitude of exchanges or whatever. You're just relying on on chain data. And I think that's absolutely fascinating. And I think there's something more there. I think we're just starting to see the first innings of that. So, Steve, we're super, super hyped to have you on the show today. We're going to dive more into what Steve is working on his project during the culture segment. But first, we got to get to the numbers. Let's start the show, everybody.
Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from Who Will Be The Next House Speaker?
"Breaking news. This is a special edition of the Mike Gallagher Show. Kevin McCarthy has been ousted as Speaker of the House. The yeas are 216. The nays are 210. The resolution is adopted. The office of Speaker of the House of the United States House of Representatives is hereby declared vacant. Seemingly coming out of nowhere, history was made this week as a small group of Republicans partnered with all the Democrats in the House to end McCarthy's leadership. I would say that my conversations with the former president leave me with great confidence that I'm doing the right thing. What happens next? Here's Mike Gallagher in the Relief Factor studios. Oh, boy. Well, here we go. Chaos reigns supreme in Washington, D .C., and now the Republicans lost their Speaker of the House thanks to the efforts of eight Republicans who decided it was time to tear off the Band -Aid and make a change. Now, we've got a lot of challenging bad news to tackle with these eight Republicans who sided with all the Democrats, really, realistically, all the Democrats sided with the eight Republicans, and shame on the Democrats, but on the other hand, you're not going to count on them to get the Republicans out of the way of themselves. So this is a Republican headache, and boy, is it a massive headache. If you saw that Patrick McHenry, the acting Speaker, slam that gavel down, how that gavel didn't break is a miracle. That's got to be the sturdiest gavel in the history of all gavel manufacturing. People are livid. People are enraged. Newt Gingrich calling Matt Gaetz and the others traitors for what they did, traitors. And when you go down that path, we know what happens. We all know what the penalty is for treason. There's a lot of heat right now and a lot of confusion, especially Nancy Mace. Who saw that coming out of South Carolina? If it weren't for Kevin McCarthy, Nancy Mace doesn't have her seat in Congress, and she stabbed him in the back. So before we try to sort through the many challenges we face, let me give you some reason for some optimism. Close your eyes for just a minute and fantasize about this. I've now heard from a number of people. I know for a fact Donald Trump has been contacted about possibly him being an interim speaker. Is that a reality? I don't know. He'd be great. But actually, I want Donald Trump to be the next president of the United States. If he wants to be speaker, I want him to be president of the United States. He's still going to be running for president. That's where we need him is at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. If he wants to be speaker, then that's fine, too. Wow. Can you think of a wilder scenario than acting Speaker of the House, Donald J. Trump? Oh, my gosh. Just a thought. Just a thought. All right. Let's get into the brass tacks. Whenever there's a huge historic story like this, I don't like a ton of talking heads. I want to hear from the American people. The Ph .D. weight loss and nutrition line is open to you, 800 -655 -MIKE, 800 -655 -6453. It seems to me that there are certainly two sides to this argument. The side that supports Matt Gaetz and the seven other Republicans argues it was time to rip off the Band -Aid, McCarthy didn't fulfill certain promises he made in order to get elected in the first place, our spending is out of control, we're funding Ukraine, we're not doing things we promised to the American people, and good for them. Now, the other side of it is it's a bad idea to do this when we have so much momentum. The timing is terrible. It puts the Republican Party in disarray. It creates absolute pandemonium, and it's not a very productive thing to do. That's the other side of it. Or you could go under the third rail and do what others on air and in print are doing. Matt Gaetz is a moron, and he's a monster, and there's some ethics thing that he's hiding, and there's bodies buried, and Ralph Norman will never win again. Even though Ralph Norman voted for Kevin McCarthy, he got thrown under the bus with the rest of them by a lot of the establishment Republicans because he even entertained the thought of dumping Kevin McCarthy. None of them are ever going to win again. They're finished. We should kick them out.
Simply Bitcoin
A highlight from Stanley Druckenmiller: Bitcoin is BETTER than Gold | EP 838
"Yo, welcome to another episode of Simply Bitcoin Live, streaming from Los Angeles. California because we're getting ready from Pacific Bitcoin. If all goes well, in today's setup we'll be live streaming from the floor of Pacific Bitcoin Thursday and Friday, which should be a whole lot of fun. Some special episodes. Dell and Opti are gonna be holding it down. I think our boy Chris Alamo from from from Bitcoin magazine should join us as well. There should be some interesting shows and then Opti is gonna be doing some some interviews with some high -profile Bitcoiners, so that should be a lot of fun. Really, really excited for the Pacific Bitcoin Festival. It's one of my favorite conferences honestly that I've been to. I know Opti had a lot of fun to say the least last year. Sophie. It was an amazing time. I'm gonna be honest, it's gonna be hard to beat this year, but knowing the Swan team, they're gonna kill it. A hundred percent, yeah. So they've been prepping for this for a long for for for a long time, so should be should be a lot of fun. Anyways, today guys we're gonna talk about the infamous debate, Bitcoin versus gold. And you know this this famous billionaire, apparently he is one of the most famous and most successful hedge fund managers on Wall Street. 6 .2 billion dollar net worth. He said the quiet part out loud. He said, you know, he believes that if the gold bet is right, the Bitcoin bet is right. But I would I think that there's more to that, right? Because the physical characteristics of gold, like I think gold bugs were were right in their arguments. I just think that they had the wrong tool, right? And I think Bitcoin solves this because of its ability to, its ability for a human being to take self -custody of large quantities of Bitcoin by just writing down, you know, 12 to 24 words. And not only taking self -custody of it, but being able to send it across the world, you know, instantaneously for pennies on the dollar, right? So that completely changes, you know, the whole dynamics of this. And I think because of its ease of, its ability for people to take self -custody because it's an open ledger, I think it's going to be a lot harder for them to rehypothecate it the way they did with gold. And then a lot of people say because they did that with gold, they were able to control the gold markets. They were able to put downward pressure on the price of gold.
Addiction Unlimited Podcast | Alcoholism | 12 Steps | Living Sober | Addiction Treatment
A highlight from What You Do When Moderate Drinking Fails
"And I tried to moderate and make all the rules, like I'll only drink two times a week, I'll drink beer, not wine, I'll only drink when I'm out, I'll only drink when I'm home. I mean, you name it, I tried it, except for stopping. Hey everybody, welcome to the Addiction Unlimited podcast, where you get to learn everything you want to know about addiction and recovery. I'm your host, Angela Pugh, co -founder of Kansas City Recovery, Life Coach, and Recovering Alcoholics. To learn more about me, you can listen to episode zero on your podcast app, or find us on the web at AddictionUnlimited .com. Hi Casey, thank you so much for coming on and doing this episode with me. I am super excited to get to know you better. I'm so glad you're here. Yeah, thank you so much. I'm excited to be here too. Yeah, why don't we start with, for everybody listening, just tell everybody a little bit about you and what you do. Yeah, absolutely. Well, so I am a life and sobriety coach. I have a podcast called the Hello Some Day podcast for sober curious women. I primarily work with working moms who also kind of do all the things and then come home and drink to sort of zone out from all the things or stop their racing minds. I stopped drinking seven and a half years ago. For a couple of years, I just wanted it to be part of my life. I didn't want it to be the thing. In my life, I was working at a fortune 500 company. I had two kids. I was just living life without the headaches and the hangovers and everything else. And then I went back to coaching school. And again, I wasn't intending to be a sobriety coach. I was just wanting to be a life coach for pretty much every woman I knew who was 40 and had done all the things you were supposed to do to have a good life and looked up and was like, why aren't I happy? Every woman I knew at my corporate company. So what was your journey like? When did you realize that you had a problem that was bigger than just putting it down and leaving it alone? Like where you realized that you were gonna need some sort of additional support? Yeah, I had been worried about my drinking for a while. I always knew I was a big drinker. I loved it. I didn't drink in high school and I was sort of the hypervigilant, super responsible person. And then I got to college and I joined the women's rugby team, which is like a crash course in binge drinking and figured out that getting drunk turned off all of those worries in my mind, right? And so I would drink heavily and then be brutally hungover. And then after I graduated college, it just still became my main way of coping and not stressing out. I would drink before going on business trips, like to not worry about it, which was terrible because I was brutally hungover. I would drink before job interviews, the night before my dad got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer when I was 21. That was kind of a way that I stopped worrying about it. And so I would drink, I would throw up in my 20s for like sometimes hours on the bathroom floor, just throwing up bile and sweating. And my mom was like, maybe you need to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol. And I thought it was a joke. I thought it was a funny punchline at the time, but it definitely stuck with me. So I always drank, I was sort of a 365 nights a year drinker, always open the bottle of wine with dinner, always have a cocktail when you went out. And then I started having the 3 a .m. wake ups and off just the charts anxiety. And for a while I was oblivious. I thought it was, I need to go to therapy and get anti -anxiety meds and anti -depression meds. And they gave me sleep medications, which then I was drinking a bottle of wine a night and taking Ambien, which is so dangerous. And then I wasn't oblivious anymore. Do you know what I mean? When I knew and I tried to moderate and make all the rules, like I'll only drink two times a week, I'll drink beer, not wine, I'll only drink when I'm out, I'll only drink when I'm home. I mean, you name it, I tried it except for stopping. And then I was like, oh dear God, I might have a real problem. I read Drinking a Love Story by Carolyn Knapp. And just when she, the way she writes about drinking and the relationship and how much she loved it, I was just like, yikes, this is me. I sort of wrote myself a letter saying, I have a serious problem with alcohol when my son was like six months old. And then I came back three days later and was like, just kidding, no problem with alcohol. I mean, I was like rationalizing to myself on paper. Right, I like how you were just letting your journal know that you were just - Oh yeah, like just kidding, nothing to see here, no problem, just in case. Yeah, it was so funny. So I worried about it when he was six months old. I took my first serious attempts to stop, go to therapy with someone who dealt with addiction, joined an online group of people who were trying to quit drinking. And a girl from that group took me to my first AA meeting when he was five years old. So six months to five years of trying desperately to moderate when he was five. My first attempts to really be like, okay, I stopped for four months. I got pregnant with my daughter, amazingly felt better. Life got better because I didn't drink for a year. I was like, wow, I'm fixed. Like it was situational, the issue, right? Now I can moderate. Went back to drinking with the intention to just, what we all say, like just on a date night, special occasion, decently quickly, I was back to a bottle of wine a night or more. The whole time I knew it was an issue. I knew too much. Like after you've done some recovery, every hangover, every fuzzy memory, every anxiety attack. So it took me 22 months to stop again for good. The whole time I was writing myself letters being like, I need to stop drinking. This is gonna mess up my life. But then when I did stop the second time, I ended up hiring a sober coach, which helped me so much. I'm sure it's why I became one. But that was my last day once, the day I reached out to my coach and I didn't know it was going to be, but I just kept stacking days in front of each other. And I also knew how hard it was to get started. And I knew that it would take me to that low place. Like I just burned my hand on that stove enough that I could no longer say it's my job or my husband, or I knew it was the alcohol that was bringing me to that point. What did your first year of sobriety look like? Like what did you do different? How was your life different in your first year? Most of my life stayed exactly the same. Same job, same husband, same kids, same friends. What I did do was I took it incrementally while knowing I didn't wanna go back. So I did not focus on forever. I did not spend a lot of time debating whether I was an alcoholic or I had a serious issue with drinking. I just said, okay, I'm going for a hundred days alcohol free. I was unable to make it to day four before then. So this was like the biggest goal I could imagine. And I told everyone in my life that I was going a hundred days alcohol free as a health challenge. I drank every single night. There was not a single person who was going to not notice that I was like ordering something else. So I told my workout group and my work colleagues and my husband and my friends and literally anyone. I told my husband that I needed to get all the wine out of the house. He still drinks, he drinks beer, but seven and a half years later, we've never had wine stain in our house. People bring it and take it away. And I told him to please not bring me wine home when if I had a stressful day, he knew that's what made me happy and that it was going to be really hard for me, but I was serious. So I had my coach, I had my online group that got me through my first 60 days. At 60 days alcohol free, I joined sort of an online coaching program with a group that helped me with even more people, even more knowledge, even more support. At four months, I had a major anxiety panic attack. And that was sort of the breaking point because I really felt like I couldn't cope. I was jumping out of my skin. It felt like I could barely move through the day. Turns out I had an undiagnosed mood disorder, go figure. I never would have figured that out if I wasn't sober, like never. But I went to my doctor and said, basically I can't go back to drinking and I cannot feel this way. So you have to help me. And she did. I got a great EMDR therapist. I got on some medication. I made it through that and then kept adding supports till I felt like I was balanced and solid.
Crypto Banter
A highlight from IMMINENT Stock Market MELTDOWN Could Take Bitcoin To $42,000!
"Listen, if you're in crypto, you need to watch today's show till the very end, because yesterday was a huge turning point for crypto. Most people aren't going to admit it, but that's because they don't know what's happening under the hood. But let me show you a few things that build the case. So first of all, yesterday, we had the stock markets absolutely obliterated yesterday, everything was red. While this was happening, we were getting a credit meltdown. This is a TLT bond, which shows 10 to 20 year credit. And this shows a capitulation candle in the credit rating. But while this was going on, something very interesting happened in Bitcoin, Bitcoin was flat and up. In fact, Bitcoin didn't respond. Now, as I said to you, most people will say, well, this is a coincidence. It's just, you know, Bitcoin's had its day and it was it. But I'm going to show you today why anyone who says that just hasn't got their eyes on them all, doesn't really know what's happening under the hood. I'm going to show you exactly what's going on and why Bitcoin held and actually started climbing when the stock markets and the credit markets were starting to collapse. Also today, we want to talk about another big coup for crypto that happened in the US government. Because if you weren't paying attention, this is what happened yesterday, a historical day in the US government. On this vote, the yeas are 216. The nays are 210. The resolution is adopted. Without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. The of office Speaker of the House of the United States House of Representatives is hereby declared vacant. And just like that, Kevin McCarthy, who was the Republican Speaker of the House, was fired from his role. And now we have a new Speaker of the House who's very, very, very pro crypto. This could be a massive turning point for crypto. And if you want to talk about another third big event that happened yesterday, we should talk about what happened in the XRP case or the Ripple SEC versus case, because that was another massive win for crypto. So all in all, yesterday was a big turning point for crypto. Today, what we're going to do is analyze why. And I'm going to show you why I think that this rally is actually going to continue. So let's go. Tell you one thing, if we were in the midst of a Uber bull market yesterday, the market, the crypto markets would have had their biggest day in a long, long, long time. But because we've reached a stage where people are getting apathetic, we didn't get the pump that we that we that we were waiting for. And I think if I understand what's happening in the crypto markets, a lot of people are actually getting flushed out of the crypto markets because what's happening is every time these people start to trade or every time it is another green candle up, people try and trade as we get the reversal, they get messed up again and they lose their money and they get flushed out the system. And after that happens five or six times, they kind of say, look, we're not coming back to crypto. We hate crypto as an asset class. You just lose money and they start feeling almost like an apathy. And if it's not an apathy, it's almost like an anger or resentment towards crypto. Now that's the natural market mechanism to get people flushed out. If you're feeling that like that, be careful that you're not falling into the market cycle, because that's what the market cycle is trying to do at this part of the cycle. We can talk about that today. I'm going to show you how this part of the cycle is designed to get the last of the weekends out before we actually go into the raging bull market. I'm going to show you where we get into, why, where and why we get into raging bull market. And I'm going to show you how the fundamentals and the technicals align exactly to show you that this is what's going to happen. When I was preparing the show and I realized what was actually going on, I was like, Holy shit, I cannot believe what is actually going on here. I think yesterday was one of the biggest turning points that we've had for crypto. And I think we need to analyze why yesterday was such a big turning point for crypto. So if you're here and you haven't been shaken out by the markets, let me know that you're still here. Design entity is still here. Chuck Strickland is still here. Lindsey B is still here. Space is Vibes still here. There are a lot of us who are still here and I mean, some of our friends have been flashed out and that's okay because that's what markets are supposed to do, but you're here and you're present. So let me know if you're present. Also, if you're not already subscribed to the channel, you know what to do. Subscribe to the channel. Now's the best time to do it. We're also going to bring you another channel. We've got another channel called Banta Plus, which I think you should subscribe to. There's a link below. Go and subscribe because there's a lot of additional content, premium content that's going to be on that channel.
The Aloönæ Show
A highlight from S13 E17: Entrepreneur's Insight on Social Media Future
"Hello, welcome to The Loney Show. I'm your host, John Maylone. In this episode, don't have regulars, because reasons, unfortunately. As a rogue -ass, he's from Pennsylvania in the United States of America, and he is an entrepreneur, CEO, and growth strategist of Grow House. Interesting. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Drew Donaldson. Thanks so much for having me today. I really appreciate the opportunity. Welcome. So, how's life? Life's good. Can't complain. You know, it's one of those things that you always look at your life in the moment, and it always seems far more stressful than it really is, and then you look at your life a year ago, and you're like, oh, it's so much better today than it was then. So, I always try to keep that perspective of, like, you know, moment, in the things can be stressful. In the moment, there's things that are, yeah, that's not great, but, you know, in the long term, the trend line is up. Nice, nice. And have you been up too much recently? Yeah, I mean, we've been, with Grow House has been my kind of bread -and -butter business for the past three years, and we're finally getting to the point where it's time to grow beyond me. I really was, you know, kind of the jack -of -all -trades in the business for a long time. I was selling. I was meeting with clients. I was writing copy. I was building websites. I was doing a little bit of everything, and over the years, I've kind of peeled that banana and stopped doing a lot of that stuff and started finding people, and we just hired today, or yesterday, actually, our first sales rep. And so that was a big change because that now unlocks a level of scale that we really haven't had before. Nice, nice. So what is Grow House exactly? So the best way to describe it is that we're a strategy -centric marketing firm, and so we help clients in a variety of ways. We have a marketing club for new entrepreneurs that really need help marketing, but can't afford a fancy agency that's going to charge them, you know, 15 grand a month. We have one -on -one consulting that I do personally with clients that are trying to scale their six -figure business to seven figures, and then we have agency services that work with niche clients with specific problems that we're particularly good at solving. So we're not really the Walmart approach to marketing where it's like you walk in the door and you just pull a bunch of marketing tactics off the shelf. We're really more of the kind of people that, like a personal trainer for your marketing, is the way we used to kind of describe ourselves in our own materials. It's like, you know, we're gonna look at what your business composition looks like, you know, just like a personal trainer would look like, what your body composition looks like, and pick the best marketing solutions for your particular situation.

A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Crypto Update | Bitcoin Resilience in the Face of Macro Turmoil
"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by CME Group. It's Wednesday, October 4th, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from Coindesk. My name is Noelle Acheson, Coindesk collaborator and author of the Crypto as Macro Now newsletter on Substack. On today's show, we're talking about bond market alarm, Bitcoin resilience, Ripple, jobs, and more. And just a reminder, Coindesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. So you don't miss an episode, be sure to follow the podcast on your platform of choice. Now a markets roundup. Debt markets around the world are in turmoil. But before we talk about that and why it matters for crypto, it's worth talking about how well crypto markets are holding up. Given the meltdowns and melt ups going on in traditional assets, you'd expect them to be down by even more. According to Coindesk Indices, at 10 a .m. Eastern Time this morning, Bitcoin was trading at $27 ,428, down half a percent over the past 24 hours. Ether was at $1 ,636, down 1 .4%. Bitcoin continues to lead the market. Its dominance index, known as BTC .d, measures Bitcoin's market cap relative to the total crypto market cap. When Bitcoin is outperforming the rest of the market, this goes up. Yesterday it climbed yet again and is now at 50 .5%. Bitcoin now accounts for more than half of the whole crypto market. Bitcoin's strength is surprising given the colossal tightening effect of rising bond yields around the world, a rising dollar and a rising oil price. Tightening especially impacts risk assets, and crypto assets are arguably the riskiest in that bucket. Were typical correlations to hold, Bitcoin would be suffering. But so far, it isn't. It is easily outperforming most stock indices, even those considered less risky, such as the Dow Jones. This suggests that there is meaningful support in the crypto market. But rather than seeing it in price increases, we're seeing it in prices not falling by more. Ripple was a strong outperformer in crypto markets today, up more than 4 % to trade at 53 cents. This boost comes from two pieces of good news for the network's XRP token. One is securing a license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, allowing it to keep providing digital payment token services in the region. The other is the denial of the Securities and Exchange Commission's request to appeal a recent call ruling. I'll be talking more about this in a moment. Moving on to strong signals in the macro market. Earlier today, the US 10 -year yield almost reached 4 .9%, while the 30 -year yield broke through 5 % for the first time since 2007. There seems to have been a pullback over the past few hours, but markets are spooked. It doesn't help that Fed officials are out on the speaker circuit repeating the mantra that rates may have to go up some more and at best will be higher for longer. It also doesn't help that global confidence in the US government's ability to function took a hit. Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted to oust the speaker for the first time in history. It also doesn't help that the higher US debt yields go, the more the US government will be paying in interest expense. This is triggering doubts about the US government's fiscal health. The price of insurance against a US government default has more than doubled over the past month and is now at the highest levels since the aftermath of the banking crisis earlier this year. What we are seeing is not just about rising interest rate expectations. That explained much of the climate yields over the past month. What we are seeing now is more about confidence, or rather, the lack of. The jobs market delivered some positive data this morning, however. This has allowed the bond markets to come down a bit and stock markets to recover some or all of the day's losses. The ADP non -farm employment report is a narrower, private version of the official report we will get on Friday. This morning's release of the employment change for September came in much lower than expected, an increase of less than 90 ,000 compared to consensus forecasts of over 150 ,000. This suggests that the US job market is finally starting to cool down, which means that the Federal Reserve might be able to ease up on interest rates ahead of expectations. The official report due on Friday does not always move in line with the ADP version, but we may get some good news then as well. Over in stocks, this economic data point has given markets some breathing room. US stocks were a sea of red yesterday, with all three major indices down more than 1 .3%. The NASDAQ led the decline with a drop of 1 .9%, its biggest daily drop in two months. So far today, however, the losses are much more muted, with NASDAQ gaining 0 .3%. The S &P 500 is still up almost 10 % year -to -date, although its gain is rapidly disappearing. The NASDAQ is holding onto its lead with a year -to -date gain of over 23%. And a sobering statistic for those that are still betting on a soft landing for the US economy – the Dow Jones index is now below its January level. Major European indices were also hit hard yesterday, with declines of more than 1 % across the board. Both the German DAX and the broader Eurostock 600 indices are at their lowest levels since March. The yield on the 10 -year German government bond, considered the safest bond in the European market, broke through 3 % earlier today for the first time since 2011. This morning has brought some signs of relief with more muted losses from the main indices. In Asia, the decline in Japan's Nikkei index accelerated in today's trading with a drop of 2 .3%. This brings the accumulated drop for the month so far to 4%, but the index is still 18 % up year -to -date. Japanese investors are not just spooked by moves in global bond markets – they're also keeping a close eye on currency movements. Yesterday, the yen -US dollar exchange rate broke through the symbolic level of 150 for the first time since late last year. Shortly after, the currency saw a sharp recovery, leading many to speculate that the Japanese central bank was again intervening in the market. That's possible, but it would be unusual for the Bank of Japan to do so without an announcement of some sort. Central bank intervention would be a big deal. It's more likely, at least for now, that it was some buying triggered by the decline in anticipation of eventual intervention.

It is easily outperforming most stock indices, even those considered less risky, such as the Dow Jones. This suggests that there is meaningful support in the crypto market. But rather than seeing it in price increases, we're seeing it in prices not falling by more. Ripple was a strong outperformer in crypto markets today, up more than 4 % to trade at 53 cents. This boost comes from two pieces of good news for the network's XRP token. One is securing a license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, allowing it to keep providing digital payment token services in the region. The other is the denial of the Securities and Exchange Commission's request to appeal a recent call ruling. I'll be talking more about this in a moment. Moving on to strong signals in the macro market. Earlier today, the US 10 -year yield almost reached 4 .9%, while the 30 -year yield broke through 5 % for the first time since 2007. There seems to have been a pullback over the past few hours, but markets are spooked. It doesn't help that Fed officials are out on the speaker circuit repeating the mantra that rates may have to go up some more and at best will be higher for longer. It also doesn't help that global confidence in the US government's ability to function took a hit. Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted to oust the speaker for the first time in history. It also doesn't help that the higher US debt yields go, the more the US government will be paying in interest expense. This is triggering doubts about the US government's fiscal health. The price of insurance against a US government default has more than doubled over the past month and is now at the highest levels since the aftermath of the banking crisis earlier this year. What we are seeing is not just about rising interest rate expectations. That explained much of the climate yields over the past month. What we are seeing now is more about confidence, or rather, the lack of. The jobs market delivered some positive data this morning, however. This has allowed the bond markets to come down a bit and stock markets to recover some or all of the day's losses. The ADP non -farm employment report is a narrower, private version of the official report we will get on Friday. This morning's release of the employment change for September came in much lower than expected, an increase of less than 90 ,000 compared to consensus forecasts of over 150 ,000. This suggests that the US job market is finally starting to cool down, which means that the Federal Reserve might be able to ease up on interest rates ahead of expectations. The official report due on Friday does not always move in line with the ADP version, but we may get some good news then as well. Over in stocks, this economic data point has given markets some breathing room. US stocks were a sea of red yesterday, with all three major indices down more than 1 .3%. The NASDAQ led the decline with a drop of 1 .9%, its biggest daily drop in two months. So far today, however, the losses are much more muted, with NASDAQ gaining 0 .3%. The S &P 500 is still up almost 10 % year -to -date, although its gain is rapidly disappearing. The NASDAQ is holding onto its lead with a year -to -date gain of over 23%. And a sobering statistic for those that are still betting on a soft landing for the US economy – the Dow Jones index is now below its January level. Major European indices were also hit hard yesterday, with declines of more than 1 % across the board. Both the German DAX and the broader Eurostock 600 indices are at their lowest levels since March. The yield on the 10 -year German government bond, considered the safest bond in the European market, broke through 3 % earlier today for the first time since 2011. This morning has brought some signs of relief with more muted losses from the main indices. In Asia, the decline in Japan's Nikkei index accelerated in today's trading with a drop of 2 .3%. This brings the accumulated drop for the month so far to 4%, but the index is still 18 % up year -to -date. Japanese investors are not just spooked by moves in global bond markets – they're also keeping a close eye on currency movements. Yesterday, the yen -US dollar exchange rate broke through the symbolic level of 150 for the first time since late last year. Shortly after, the currency saw a sharp recovery, leading many to speculate that the Japanese central bank was again intervening in the market. That's possible, but it would be unusual for the Bank of Japan to do so without an announcement of some sort. Central bank intervention would be a big deal. It's more likely, at least for now, that it was some buying triggered by the decline in anticipation of eventual intervention.

A highlight from George Coppen - Life Beyond The Curtain
"Welcome to Let's Be Frank, the men's mental health podcast. Join us as we break the stigma, embrace vulnerability, and prioritize mental health in men. Together, let's use your voice. Guys, welcome back to Let's Be Frank, the home of men's mental health. Today you're joining us as we are extremely excited to have the one and only George O 'Brien. George has been copping with us, a talented star in the acting scene, known for his remarkable performances, from Panther mimes to Het to hit Netflix films like The School for Good and Evil, and even joining Disney's Magical World with Willow on Disney+. George has left a lasting impression. Beyond his comedy talents, George has been an advocate for important issues relating to actors with dwarfism in the film industry. With his wit, he raises critical questions about casted practices, where roles traditionally meant for actors with dwarfism are given to others who have more opportunities, prompting him to address the quest for diversity and his impact on mental health in the acting world. Join us for this thought -provoking discussion, Behind the Curtains, with George Coppin, actor, comedian, and advocate for change. Today is going to be a very, very exciting episode, and we are absolutely stoked to have him with us. But like as always, we're going to jump on to Mr. Ryan Smith. Ryan, welcome mate.

Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 10/04/23
"The dis in functional, don't we? I have to tell you, I just want to just offer the floor to you and say, how did yesterday afternoon work out for you? Well, there's so many fascinating layers and aspects to this. First of all, I think, and before we even get started in this huge history making move yesterday, kudos to the good old Atlanta team who came to Tampa Bay yesterday and walloped the Tampa Bay Rays. They had a toast to the Rangers for game one. Did you just refer to them as an Atlanta team? I started to say Atlanta. Listen, this was a late night. What the hell's the matter with you? It was a late night. Do you have a stroke? Obviously, the Rangers, excuse me. Thank you. I did. I'm smelling burning toast. Tracy's there. Did you burn the toast? What happened again? That's all right. Who ordered the field cutlet? No, I'm sorry. No, no, it's quite all right. But I did want to give kudos to the Rangers because, listen, and you know why Tampa Bay lost? Guess how many people showed up at that pitiful field. I know it's the worst facility in sports, but the Rays are really good, have been good all year. They're in the playoffs. The capacity of the trop is probably about 45 ,000. How many were there? The smallest playoff baseball crowd since game seven of the 1919 World Series. That's the Black Sox, right? Yeah, 19 ,000 people showed up. It was 3 o 'clock in the afternoon local time. But everybody plays hooky, exactly right. You bring that game here and we'll cram globe life a few. It's the weirdest thing I've ever experienced when I moved here and I kept saying, why doesn't anybody support this team? And all they keep telling me is, because everybody hates the owner. Well, what the heck? Who cares? You might go to the World Series. Well, I mean, Rangers might have something to say about that. Well, maybe so after yesterday. I mean, now Tampa Bay's hanging on by a thread, which would be awful because Tampa Bay came out of the gate strong. I mean, man, oh, man, they were looking like they were 10 -0. I think they won their first 10. And they're certainly one of the four or five best teams in baseball, but so were the Rangers for much of the year. And now they've decided to awaken. Nice 4 -0 shutout. And I would love for Tampa Bay's season to end this afternoon at about five because game two is today at two, our time. Well, congratulations to the Atlanta Rangers. Exactly. Go Braves. All right. Now, let me go through some takeaways from yesterday, which I think are, first of all, to me, the biggest story that was not covered is it was the immediate action, the first official act taken by Patrick McHenry, the acting speaker. Did you see what he did? Oh, no, but to Pelosi? The first action he did was to evict Nancy Pelosi from her cushy private office that she was given, I guess, as some kind of a courtesy, right? And first thing he did was get out. Now, it was pretty rough because she's in California for Dianne Feinstein's funeral. She's not even in the building. And he said, hey, we're going to re -key the locks Wednesday morning, get out. But here's what that tells me, Mark, and I think it's significant. Why didn't McCarthy do that? I don't know. If that's not symbolic of what we're talking about here, there's another narrative here. The narrative is, I know you're not going to want to hear it, and I get it. Everybody's all up in arms and everybody's realizing there's gridlock. Listen, everybody's got to put down the smelling salts for a moment. Do you think we're in bad shape if Jim Jordan is the speaker of the House going into the 2024 election? Do you not like Jim Jordan as the speaker? I love Jim Jordan as the speaker. I believe he's unelectable as the speaker. Well, who's going to be electable? Steve Scalise probably has the best chance. And Steve Scalise reportedly doesn't want it. The reporting is that physically he's got a lot of – he's asking for it. He was lobbying yesterday, but is that just window dressing? Is Steve Scalise the fighter that we want for Jim Jordan? I mean – Listen, electability, you could say all day you want. Things can get done, and if – why wouldn't the Republicans unify behind Jim Jordan? Because there are 200, 212 of them, right? Because for many of them, Jordan's a little too spicy.
Elevation with Steven Furtick
"m one" Discussed on Elevation with Steven Furtick
"That connection doesn't seem too significant to you yet, but it will when I'm done. I want you to understand something right here, right now, and never doubt it again. If you knew what God was doing through you right now and what God was going to do through you, the Devil could never discourage you again. If you knew what God was doing through you, put it in the future in case they have a hard time seeing it right now, in case they have a low bank balance right now, in case they're kids aren't speaking to them right now, in case their mom isn't speaking to them right now, in case their job sucks right now, in case they're single right now and wishing that they weren't single… I mean, there's nothing wrong with being single unless you wish you weren't single, but if you look back at them one more time and tell them for me, just make the announcement. If you knew what God was going to do, the Devil couldn't discourage you, couldn't pay you enough to quit, couldn't defeat you, couldn't depress you. If you knew he was the one and they made him king at age 16… Have you ever been thrust into something you felt like you weren't ready for yet? Have you ever just had somebody put something on you that you didn't even want to wear? Have you ever had that moment… I think every parent has this moment. They say, oh, I am the grown-up, and this guy is 16 years old, and he has to become a king, and he did something so amazing that we're talking about it today. He's the one. I'm sure he wondered, just like you do and I do, why would I be the one? I'm sure he felt in the shadow of his father, just like you feel in the shadow of some of your challenges. I'm sure he felt insufficient, but yet he was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah. So I'm thinking to myself, reading this… Let me sit back down. I'm going, Elath must be a really big place if the Bible takes time to say that of everything he did, he rebuilt and restored Elath. I pulled out this map in my Bible, y'all, and Elath isn't that big. It wasn't its size that made it significant. It was where it was situated. Elath was a port city. Elath was at the northern tip of a gulf. Elath was in the territory of the Edomites. The Edomites had once been a territory of Israel, but they had broken away. Uzziah's father had brought Edom back to a point. Uzziah did something more important. He restored the port city so that the trade could happen beyond the borders of Judah. Now can I preach? Sometimes we have no idea what's really important, because we judge significance by size. We judge significance by status, but the thing God wants you to know about Uzziah, the artist formerly known as Azariah… The thing God wants you to know about him was he was the one who was remembered for what he rebuilt and for what he restored. What he rebuilt and what he restored didn't seem very big, but it was very important, because it was a port city. If he got the port city working again, the ships could come and go. Imagine the hustle and bustle of commerce and economy and exchange and trade that could happen when he got the port city back. There are some things the Enemy will fight you over in your life that don't seem very big on the surface, but he knows it is a port city in your life. If you get this one right and if you get this one back and if you get this one fixed and if you get this one under control and if you get this one flowing and if you get this one working and if you get this one open and if you get this one rebuilt… That's why you can never judge the significance of the season you're in by the size of the opportunity according to your eyes if you only knew. I will prove it to you. Not from the Bible. I'll prove it from my life, because I've never seen Elath. I've never been there. I have had moments in my life where God was using something that I didn't think was important, but it was a port. When Elijah went to college a few weeks ago, he said, "'I've got to get a job.'" I said, "'Probably.'" He said, "'How do I get one?'" I said, "'There are many different ways.'" He said, "'How did you get one?'" I said, "'Well, I never really had a real job. I got all of these scholarships to get to college. I applied for every scholarship. I did work study where you could get some of your tuition paid. I did everything I could. I worked jobs when I was a kid. Y'all know about my jobs. I cremated animals. I sold fireworks. I cleaned churches. I sold explosives, burned dogs, and cleaned the house of God. Let me see your resume.'" When I got to college, I felt like I was called to preach. Nobody else shared that opinion at college. Back at home, I preached my first sermon when I was 16. I wasn't a king like Josiah at 16, but I preached my first sermon at Moncks Corner United Methodist Church, and then Pastor Mickey was the one who sat on my parents' floor and said, "'God's hand is on your son.'" For my mom and my dad, they were the ones who let me go be a youth minister while I was still a youth. When I went to college, nobody was asking me to preach. I found a guy on campus. This is what I told Elijah. I said, "'One day, if you ever meet him, thank Jay Hardwick.'" He said, "'Who's Jay Hardwick?'" I said, "'He was the one.'" I had talked to him in 15 years. I would text him, but I don't have his number, so maybe he'll see this. "'Jay, you were the one. When I came up to you in the cafeteria, I heard you're a preacher.' You said, "'Yeah, I'm trying to be.' I said, "'Me too. I want to preach like you preach.' You said to me, "'Okay. When somebody calls me for an invitation and I can't go, I'll tell them to get you instead.' I said, "'I'll eat your crumbs. I'm not picky. Once you've run a crematory, you preach anywhere.'" I said, "'That would be awesome.'" He was the one who told Mason to put me on the summer impact team where I ended up traveling with Holly. He was the one. He never sent me a bill. He never took a commission. As far as I know, he never took credit. That dude would be running all around the state of wherever he lives now saying, "'Yeah, I gave Furtick his start over there at Elevation, but he didn't really care about that. It's like he was so important in my life. I never even told my son about him until just the other day." The next time the Devil tells you you have no one and he starts hitting you with this loneliness he hits you with… When he hits you with loneliness, hit him with a list. Somebody say, "'He was the one.'" All right. Let's get inclusive. Say, "'She was the one.'" I knew y'all were getting offended. Reflect this Friday night, and I don't want to start anything early. I mean, I've told you a thousand times that really Holly started the church, not me. I was going to start it when I was about the age I am now. Eighteen years ago, she turned to me and said, "'It's time for you to start the church. God has called you to start. We have people around us. We need you. You have what you need right now to do it, and we're going to do it right now.'" If she wouldn't have talked me into doing it then, I would have learned too much to do it at this point in my life. I would have learned too much. She was the one. I look around a room like this, and I don't just see a crowd. I see ones. He was the one who convinced me we could do Elevation Nights. He was the one who was with me at Green Day when Billy Joe Armstrong called me on stage to play guitar. Y'all, that happened before I was 16 years old. I was at a Green Day concert, and I turned to my other friend who isn't here anymore, and I said, "'What if Billy Joe calls me to play his guitar on stage?'" He said, "'Shut up. That's stupid. It's never going to happen.'" In the middle of the Operation Ivy song Knowledge, Billy Joe Armstrong stops and says, "'Does anybody out there play guitar?'" My friends picked me up, and he was one of them, and picked me up like I was Mufasa. He's the one. I played that thing. Oh, I killed it too. I was ready for my moment. Do you know how many times I've wanted to find Billy Joe Armstrong? I never met him. You remember that night in Charleston in 1994? He did it every night, so for him it was just another night. To me, it was the one. That's why I preach hard. I preach every six days, but for you this might be the one. I'm going to preach a lot of messages, but for somebody this is the one. For someone this is the one. I'm not talking about me just to talk about me. I'm trying to get you to see that for someone you're the one. You're the one. You may not even know it. You might be like Billy Joe Armstrong, go on to do another city. He went on to Charleston, West Virginia. He went on to Minneapolis, Minnesota. He never even knew he left a boy back in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. He boosted my popularity past the high school quarterback in one moment, but he just went on. When the Devil tells you that you have no one, that you are no one, and that you can't see how God is using you… Oh, I have a tip for you. Ready? Assume that God is using you. You got it? How do I know God is using me? You won't. Assume that God is using you. Usually they say, You know what? Assuming does. It makes a… You know, whatever, whatever. But in this case, I am actually advocating that you assume you are the one God wanted that person to come across in need. For everybody who has been stuck in self-pity, there is no quicker way out of self-pity than to fulfill God's purpose. Assume… I know you all don't like this, because sometimes we don't want to be the one. I don't want to encourage anybody. When is somebody going to encourage me? Sometimes I don't feel like preaching, and I want to hand you the microphone. You say something. I'm going to do it one day. I'm going to walk in. I'm going to take the stage, and the first person who looks bored… I'm going to throw them a microphone and say, Here, you do it. You do it. Just talking. He was the one. He rebuilt and restored. He was remembered for what he restored. This is the decision in this season of your life that you are making without even knowing that you are making it. On behalf of others… As Holly and I began to talk, we started to realize something about relationships. I'm going to try to talk about this. If I don't really do a good job with it, I'll come on YouTube this week and do a bonus teaching on it. So pray I do a good job so I don't have to go back in and do it again. There's a lot of relational resentment that can build up in your life, people who disappoint you. I'm no different than you. I get disappointed in people. The man we're reading about in this Scripture, Uzziah, in many ways was a disappointment, because he didn't bring the nation back to their rightful place. I'll show you in just a moment. It even got worse than that. But before I show you how bad it got, let me just talk about your disappointments in people. As Holly and I began to talk, I said, You know, Jay Hardwick was the one who kind of put us on that team. We never even thought about it. Who was someone in your life you don't think about? I'm not talking about the Billy Graham and the apostle Paul and Jesus. It's going to be in the comments. Jesus is the one, Steven. Jesus. He's the one. I'm going to say it for you. But, you know, moving us along from there… There are people who you think are going to be the one to be with you forever, but they're not. But just because they're not the one who was with you for a little while or just because they're not with you forever doesn't mean they didn't serve an important purpose in your life. I know this is four, but I really need to say it. Some people in your life are port people. They move through. You move on. They move on. Just because they didn't stay planted doesn't mean they weren't important. What this will help you do when the Enemy says, You have nobody. Look at how they let you down. Look at how they didn't come through for you. Look at how they don't get you. Look at what they weren't able to do. Look at how you believed in them. Look at how you thought they were going to be the perfect partner. Look at how you thought they were going to be… I want to revisit this for a moment so you stop focusing on the disappointment and start focusing on the deposit. I could tell you somebody right now, and you could do the same for me. You could say, Man, she was the one I counted on, and she let me down. But if we took it a little deeper, there was something God used that person in your life for. Even if it was just a port moving through… Do you understand what I'm saying about Elath? We have Elath relationships, and they may not last as long as we wanted them to, and they may not be everything we wanted them to be. If we're not so careful with our souls, the Devil will set up camp in that disappointment and say, You have no one. But they were the one. They were the one for a while. Look at what they added to your life. Yeah, but they betrayed me. It was Judas that got Jesus to the cross. He was the one God used more than any of the other disciples, because it was Judas that God used to get Jesus to the place where he paid for your sins and mine. Even the people who hurt you, God used. I don't say that coldly. I don't say that to celebrate abuse or neglect or abandonment. I just know that someone has been living in this place for a long time. I have no one. You are so good at listing the disappointments that you're missing the deposits. Not only those who are gone, not only the people who planted seeds… Not everybody who starts with you is supposed to stay with you. Not only that, but there are fresh people God is bringing into the port of your life. And if you do not do the work in this season of setting free and forgiving the things that disappointed you, you will not be open to the deposit. You stay poor and you stay sad and you stay alone, but if you will get your eyes off of who left and put your eyes on what they left that God is still watching over in your life to bring you to a new level, I declare and decree he will rebuild and restore everything the locusts ate every year the cankerworm gnawed up. After all, it wasn't them who blessed you anyway. He was the one. God was the one. His mercy was the conduit. His grace was the power. Get ready to shout. You have your eyes on people. Put your eyes on Jesus. He was the one. I got too focused on others. I got too focused on stuff. I forgot that he was the one. Somebody say, he was the one who brought me through depression. He was the one who forgave all my sins and healed all my diseases. He was the one whose blood washed me clean. He was the one who knelt in the garden of Gethsemane with me on his mind and pressed through to the cross. He was the one. That's why I know he's not through with you, because it was him all along. Uzziah rebuilt and restored the port. I'm going to ask you a question. When we write your 2 Kings, chapter 14, verses 21 and 22, what are we going to say? He was the one. I know some of you in here want your 2 Kings 14 and 22 to read like this. He was the one who battled through the addiction his dad couldn't defeat and beat it for his own kids. He was the one. She was the one who forgave her mom for never telling her she was loved, for making her perform, and because she forgave her mom, she was able to face herself and love herself and see herself as a daughter of God. She was the one. I don't see crowds today. I don't know why God gave me this anointing. I just see ones. One God, one person. Which one do you want to be? This can go the other way too. He was the one who gave up on himself, because he really got tired of making excuses. Eventually, he just brought his belief in God down to the level of his lifestyle rather than bringing his lifestyle up to the level of his belief in God. I want to tell you something about Uzziah, and we might want to sit down for this. Uzziah did really good. In fact, 2 Chronicles 26 says the same thing about him, but it gives us a little more detail. I bring you this in a spirit of humility, because when you hear a strong word from God… For some of you, this is a strong word from God. It's not because of me. It's because of the importance of your life to what God wants to do through you. This word is hitting you right now, because this is an Elath message for you. This is a port sermon for you. What goes forth from here is important. You don't think it is yet. I had a man come up to me after I preached one time, and he said, "'Preacher, when you were preaching, you said, "'This message is for someone. I don't know who.'" He goes, "'I just want to let you know I was the one.'" He said a little bit of what he was going through. I said, "'Thank you for telling me.'" Then somebody else came up, and they had overheard. It was a man and a woman, and the woman said she was really funny. She said, "'I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I heard that man who came before. This is my husband, Joe, and I just want you to know that man who was here before, he was wrong, because he was the one you were talking to,' and pointed at her husband." Somebody say, "'I'm the one.'" See, I'm the one who decides which one I'm going to be. He was the one who rebuilt and restored. If your life is in ruins right now, you didn't control that. You may have contributed to it, but will you be the one who rebuilds and restores? I know God wants to be the one who helps you do that. I know that. He'll be the one who will empower you to do it. Uzziah does amazing things, y'all. For a guy who had to start being a king at age 16… Wow. He defeats three of the Philistine countries, knocks down their walls. He puts these watchtowers all around Jerusalem where they can see where their enemies are coming from, and then after he builds the watchtowers, he puts these special military devices where they can shoot the arrows and hurl the stones and their enemies can't see them. He buys new military equipment for every single one of the soldiers, and there are 305,700 of them. Soldiers. He gives them all new equipment. He's also a gardener. He does amazing things with agriculture. This guy is amazing. Amazing. And so are you in some ways. But the Bible says something really scary to me. Let's look at it. 2 Chronicles 26. Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was 16 years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. We already read that. This is a different account of it. He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors. We already read that, but this is a different account. Watch this. Uzziah was 16 years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem 52 years. His mother's name was Jecaliah, and she was from Jerusalem. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. He sought God during the days of Zechariah. Zechariah was the one who mentored him, who instructed him in the fear of God. Listen to this verse. It's going to feel haunting. As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success. The next several verses really break that down. All of the successes God gave him. It says God strengthened him. God helped him. God upheld him. God resourced him. You go all the way down to verse 16. It says, After Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to the Lord his God and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. Now listen to this. Azariah the priest… This is a different Azariah, as if it wasn't confusing enough already. There have to be two Azariahs and one who are the same. Azariah the priest with 80 other courageous priests of the Lord followed him, and they confronted King Uzziah and said, It is not right for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord. That's for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who have been consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary. You've been unfaithful. You might be honored by the Lord God. The kings weren't allowed to burn this incense. It was for the priests to do. You always get in trouble when you try to do what God called somebody else to do, when you start wishing you could be this one or that one. Uzziah was powerful. God called him. Don't get it twisted. God anointed him. God put the crown on his head no matter whose hands he used to position it there. It was God who did it, but then he got out of his place, and even when he was corrected, he wouldn't listen. Listen to verse 19. God is bringing you to this point today, and I want you to hear this as a warning for your life. Uzziah, who had a censer in his hand, ready to burn incense, became angry. While he was raging at the priests in their presence before the incense altar in the Lord's temple, leprosy broke out on his forehead. When Azariah the chief priest and all the other priests looked at him, they saw he had leprosy on his forehead, so they hurried him out. Indeed, he himself was eager to leave, because the Lord had afflicted him. Now listen to this. I wish the story ended differently, but I have to give it to you how it is in the Bible, because I don't write the book. I'm just giving you the mail. The Bible says King Uzziah had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in a separate house, leprous, and banned from the temple of the Lord. Jotham his son had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land. The other events of Uzziah's reign from beginning to end are recorded by the prophet Isaiah, son of Amos. Uzziah rested with his ancestors and was buried near them in a cemetery that belonged to the kings, for the people said he had leprosy, and Jotham his son succeeded him as king. All he did, and the people said… Give me verse 23 again. People said… Do you see that? I'm going to wait for you to find it. People said he had leprosy, and he died like that, because he forgot that God was the one. You die alone when you forget that God is the one, and you live alone when you forget that God is the one. Your worship gets weak when you forget that God is the one. You start running from what God has called you to when you forget that God is the one, and you feel cut off when you forget that God is the one. How many are grateful that of all the kings that are in 2 Kings 14, none of those kings are the one we came to worship today? Thank you. People will disappoint you, but God will carry you. People will leave you. God never will. The Bible says King Uzziah died with leprosy, a skin condition that isolated him, but you don't have to. You don't have to stay away. Do you know why? Isaiah prophesied to Uzziah, but he did not prophesy about Uzziah. Isaiah prophesied about another king, a king who would come at a later date. A king who would not come through any human father, but a king who would come not in a palace, a king who would come in a Palestinian environment that would have been unfit for many animals. The thing I want you to know today for all of you who feel alone… I have no one. I am no one. I can't rebuild. I can't recover. I'm down here, and I have to stay here, and there is no more for me, and I'm not the one. The sermon is for somebody else, because I've tried this before, and it didn't work. I wanted you to know this from the heart of God today for his child. Your leprosy is not your legacy. This leprosy, this issue… Everybody has something like that. Not a skin disease, not something others can see on your forehead, but a label that follows you through life, a condition, an issue, a struggle, a tendency, something that has been with you and may even consuming you. This leprosy will not be my legacy. Say it by faith. This leprosy will not be my legacy. One more time. Say, this leprosy, this label, this limitation, this loneliness will not be my legacy. Now look at your neighbor and say, God is not through with you. Let me tell you how I know God is not through with you. Do you know how I know he's not through with you? Because it did not end in 2 Chronicles 26 with Uzziah. Flip on over to Matthew, chapter 1. I feel like preaching, because the Bible says… No piano. Give me some organ. Uzziah. Who was Uzziah? The father of Jotham. He died of leprosy, and people said he had leprosy. Well, that's what people said, but that's not what God said. God said he was the one who rebuilt Elah. I need everybody to give God praise if you're grateful that people don't have the final word in your life. People! Oh, give God praise if you're set free from what people say. People can say what they want to say. People can say what they want to say. I'm not listening to people. I'm listening to prophecy. What did God say about you? If he said you're the one, guess what? You're the one. Come with me to Matthew, chapter 1, verse 9. You're eating. You're like, That's sad. He died of leprosy, but somebody say, This leprosy is not my legacy. No, because Uzziah… Who was he? Well, he was the one who was the father of Jotham. Who was Jotham? Let's play Jeopardy. He was the one who was the father of Ahaz. I'm getting happy, because I'm thinking about everything God is still going to do in your life that you can't see right now, everything God is going to bring through you, everything important God still has in your future. That's why the Devil is fighting you so hard. That's why you can't sleep at night. That's why you're tossing and turning. That's why you're kind of restless. That's why you're kind of lonely, because God is raising you up. All right. Just preach the text. Let's go back to the text. He was the one. Ahaz. Who was he? He was the one who was the father of Hezekiah. Verse 10. Hezekiah. He was the one who was the father of Manasseh. He was the one who was the father of Ammon. He was the one who was the father of Josiah. He was the one who was the father of Jeconiah. Who was Jeconiah? He was the one. Verse 12. He was the father of shealtiel. He was the one who was the father of Zerubbabel. He was the one who was the father of Abedadah. He was the one who was the father of Eliakim. He was the one who was the father of Ahor. He was the one who was the father of Zadok. He was the one who was the father of Achim. He was the one who was the father of El terrestrial waters. I told you I can't pronounce these words. I'm Wheel of Fortune. I'm Passaic, baby. He was the one who was the father of Mathem. He was the one who was the father of Jacob. Now get ready to celebrate, because who was Jacob? He was the one who was the father of Joseph. He was the one who was the husband of Mary. She was the one who was the mother of… Praise Him. Praise Him. Praise Him for the port city. Praise Him for the purpose. Praise Him for what He's bringing through. Praise Him for the prophecy. Praise Him for the Savior. He was the one. And this leprosy is not your legacy. I speak Jesus over your life. I speak Jesus over your business. I speak Jesus over your mind. Jesus is the one. Jesus is the one. Jesus is the one. Who's going to do it? Jesus. Who's going to see you through? Jesus. It has always been him, bro. Since you were a little boy, he was watching out for you. Since you were a little girl, he was raising you up. He called you, and he chose you. You are going to be the one to rebuild and restore so that Jesus can come forth in your life. I declare God is bringing something forth in this moment. Who receives it? Come on. Make your heart a port city right now. Say, God, I receive it. I receive it. I receive it. Now you're going to be the one. She was the one who went to counseling and worked through her past so that it did not become the lid of her future. She was the one. He was the one who decided to give his gifts to God rather than using them to serve the world. He was the one. He was the one who decided to open a door for others rather than always trying to make it about himself. He was the one. What one will you be? I love that story in the Bible where ten lepers came up to Jesus. They knew he was the one who could heal them. I don't know if you get the richness of this. He was the prophet, the priest, and the king, all of those things in one. They had been to their priest. Their priest couldn't do it. They came to Jesus, and he told them, Go to the priest, and you will be healed as you go. In Luke 17, verse 15, the Bible says that one of them, one of the ten, when he saw that he was healed, came back, praising God with a whisper. What does the Bible say in a loud voice? He realized, This leprosy is not my legacy. You don't have to stay outside anymore. He is Emmanuel God with us. One of them came back. If I preach this sermon, everything I've said today for one person to come back, it will be worth it, because I believe you are a port city. I believe things are going to flow through you that are going to change lives you will never meet. Jesus was the one with healing, and it is at his feet that we fall today. Lord God, this is the part of the sermon where I stop speaking but you don't, because there are things you want to open up for the people you brought to hear this word today. They have been labeled by life, labeled by lies, but I declare that label will not be their legacy. Alcoholic will not be their legacy. Addict will not be their legacy. Bitter will not be their legacy. Failure will not be their legacy. Defeat will not be their legacy. The heritage of the servants of God is the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ, and our righteousness comes from you. You are the one. So, Father, I stretch my hands to you today, for every time the Devil has tried to tell me, I am no one and I have no one, I have someone. His name is Jesus, and he is the one who opens blind eyes. He is the one who causes the lame to walk. He is the one who forgives the sinner. He is the one who raises the dead. He is the one who speaks for the Word, and we are healed. I wonder who is that one today that God gave me this message for. With your head bowed and your eyes closed, there's someone in here, and you need to throw yourself at the feet of Jesus today. We're going to pray a prayer right now. This prayer is not to people. This prayer is to Jesus. He's the one who can save you. I said he's the one. Somebody say it. He's the one. You've been running to everything else. You've been running to sex. You've been running to drugs. You've been running to religion. You've been running to others. You've been running to achievement. You've been running to aspiration, but he's the one. He's the one who can save. So, right now, in the stillness of this moment, I want to lead you in a prayer. If you pray this prayer from your heart, the Bible says that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. It is your faith in Christ that saves you, not your good works, just your faith in him. So, right now, if you need to come back to God, if you are that one who needs to come back and receive the grace of God, I want you to pray this with me. We're praying it as a church family, everybody all together praying out loud. Repeat after me. Heavenly Father, I am the one. I am a sinner in need of a Savior, and I believe that Jesus Christ is the one true God. I believe he died that I could be forgiven and rose again to give me life. I receive this new life. This is my new beginning. I am a child of God. On the count of three, shoot your hand up if you prayed that. One, two, three. Hands up online. Hands up online. I celebrate you. I celebrate you. Church, the Bible says there's rejoicing over one sinner in heaven. All the angels rejoice when one comes back. Let's celebrate the one. Come on, let's celebrate somebody's daughter, somebody's son, somebody's brother, somebody's sister. Let's celebrate. God bless you.

"He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors. So let's play again. He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors, who is, verse 21, Azariah, the kid who became a king at 16 years old. Do any of you have teenagers? Have you been a teenager? Can you imagine being a king at age 16, and yet he was the one to do it? That's the title I want to use for the message today, a very simple thought. He was the one. He was the one. Say that out loud. He was the one. Put it in the chats or the comments if you're joining us online. He was the one. They didn't ask him. They didn't let him run for office. He didn't get to decide if he had a career in politics. The Bible says, Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was 16 years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. Amaziah did some dumb stuff. There's a motivational speaker who likes to say every life is either a warning or an example. Which one do you want your life to be? I don't mean to argue with the motivational speaker, but don't you think every life is a warning and an example at some points? It depends on which part of my life you're looking at, whether I'm a warning or an example. It depends on what point in time you judge it, whether it would be a warning or an example. We've all seen people whose examples we tried to follow until we found out their example that was being set was leading toward an end we couldn't have seen coming. Yet I'm grateful for the grace of God, because he uses it all. In the case of Amaziah, the dad you read about in this passage, he did some amazing stuff. The Bible said he was the one who killed these 10,000 Edomites and ran them off a cliff. He did that to take back some land God had given to people. Then he turned around and did something so dumb. He attacked the king of Israel, who was stronger than him. The king of Israel tried to warn him. He's like, yo, man, you're a thistle to me. That's what he said. He said, don't come and try to start this with me. He's like, I am not the one. I just said he was the one. He's like, I am not the one you want to mess with. He was right. He goes in and punishes them greatly. The people take that king, Amaziah, and they're like, we're putting your son in your place. He doesn't really have a say in the matter. They begin to reign together when Azariah is 16. Then after Amaziah dies, Azariah takes the throne. He was the one, the Bible says. Let's go back to that phrase again, because this is where I want to focus. He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah, his father, rested with his ancestors. I was telling Holly after we read that chapter that day, I said, that really spoke to me how the Bible said he was the one. She's like, okay. She actually said this to me. I thought it was the most boring chapter we've read in weeks. I didn't get anything out of it. I said, but let me tell you. We went for a walk, and I said, it made me realize that when it's all said and done, the summary of your life usually will be condensed to a few things in the end. That's one of the reasons why I really prioritize my family as a pastor, because you can get another pastor, but Abby only gets one dad. I don't know that I don't care about you. I just know that either by choice or if it was by coercion, I know you don't want another pastor. It would be a downgrade, but no, I'm kidding about that. There's different people God will use to feed you in different seasons, and I don't have any problem if God uses somebody else in your life. She only gets one. In fact, I was remembering when I read the phrase, he was the one. I was remembering when I went to a wrestling tournament to watch Graham, and he won the whole tournament. After the tournament… This is the first big tournament he won. This is a few years ago. He won. I almost didn't go to the tournament because I had to schedule somebody else to preach for me to go to the tournament. I looked at him after he won. We're sitting at Pizza Hut where all great book it and athletic celebrations happen. I said, can you imagine if you had won the whole tournament and I hadn't been here? He goes, but if you hadn't been here, I probably wouldn't have won it. Remember that? I miss stuff my kids do, just like you do all the time, but it reminded me of something. Even if I'm stuck in this narrative in my life that I'm really no one special, I'm really no one, and I have no one, it's a lie. If I believe that I am no one and that I have no one, as so many of us do, I think that's the thing the Devil just tries to get you to believe over and over again in different ways. He'll put evidence in front of you and thoughts inside of you to try to convince you that I am no one, I have no one. Those two things. Write those down, because I want you to be like a detective on the Devil this week for when he says it to you. You're like, oh yeah, that's what the sermon was about. We all sometimes feel like I am no one, nobody compared to that person, no one that really makes a difference. I mean, come on, Pastor Steven. You're preaching about a king in the Bible who restored and rebuilt a city. What does this have to do with me? I'm just trying to get my kid to school one time on time next week. Just one time on time. That would be my Bible verse. He was the one who got his kid to school one time on time. If he can't tell you that you are no one, I tell you you have no one. So I said to Holly, that really touched me to know that the Bible said he was the one. In fact, in 2 Kings… I knew I couldn't stay in that chair very long. How long did I make it? Five minutes? In 2 Kings, it goes three times. It says he was the one, and it talks about one certain king. He was the one, and it talks about another certain king. He was the one, and it talks about another certain king. At first, you're reading this going, well, this has nothing to do with me, because I'm not a king, and I'm not in charge of military resources. They won't even trust me to bring coffee, because they know it'll be spilled by the time I get there. I can't even get the coffee order right. I'm not the one like that, but I read it over and over again. I thought about Graham, and I thought about my life, and I thought about the things God has called me to do, and I thought about the people God has called me to shepherd. I realized we need to talk about he was the one for all of those times in your life where you feel like, I am no one and I have no one. What I said to Holly was, this guy in the Bible… There were three of them. I said, they list their accomplishments even though all three of them technically failed at turning the nation around, but it still gives you this little glimpse in there. He didn't get it all right, but he was the one who did something right. I think we need to learn how to… I don't want to say talk back to the Devil, because it would probably be better to talk to God, but can I just say we need to defy the Devil every once in a while to defy the Devil when he says, you're no one, because look how many followers they have. Look how many friends they have. Look how far along they are in their career. Look how much money they have. You don't know how much money they have. Every bit of what they're wearing on their body might be borrowed. You don't know if they paid for that brand name in cash. So you don't even know. I'm no one, and I have no one. The Bible speaks up for this king, Azariah, and it says he was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah. He rebuilt and he restored. He rebuilt and he restored. He was the one. He didn't get it all right. He didn't remove the high places where they were worshiping the Canaanite gods, but he was the one who rebuilt and restored. I came to remind somebody today, you are the one. I can see we need to talk about this, because you're slow to warm up to the idea, because you've been in that, I'm no one, and you even think that's humble, right? You even think that's godly. I must decrease that he may increase. It does not increase God for you to shrink back from what he called you to do. Somebody say, he was the one. He was the one. It's important that we know that, because if you just read about this… His name was Azariah, but I even studied about Azariah, and you know what I found out? What? I'm playing tennis with myself up here sometimes. I found out that the king named Azariah, who I thought I had never heard of before, is the same guy called Uzziah that Isaiah mentions in the famous throne room scene in Isaiah, chapter 6. Now check this out. He was the prophet who prophesied to Azariah, whose name was also Uzziah. Uzziah was his throne name. Azariah was his personal name. There's only one consonant different in Hebrew, so if we need Vanna White to come out and we just change one letter… This is the guy who Isaiah the prophet says in Isaiah, chapter 6, verse 1. In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and lifted up, seated on a throne, and the train of his robe filled the temple. In the year Uzziah died… That's the same guy Uzziah is talking about. He was the one who died the year Isaiah saw the Lord and had his lips touched with coal.

"He was the one who built an ark. He was the one who stretched out his staff and who is Moses. I'm not going to trick you, but I am going to get harder. He was the one who fought the battle of Jericho, and the walls came tumbling down. Who is Joshua? He was the one who took a rock, that big old ugly nine-foot giant standing in front of him, hit the giant with a rock. Had five, only needed one, because he had good aim. Who is David? Now, the next one. I have to read this one. He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors. That's right. I didn't know it either. We came across it in our Bible reading. I'm in a Bible reading club with my oldest son, Kelsey, and beautiful Holly Furtick. We came across this passage. We're reading through 2 Kings, and I am going to give you the answer. It's in 2 Kings 14, 21, and 22. It came across this phrase, and I'm trying these days to give you the sermon in the Spirit that I received it more and more. So that means less distance between how God speaks it to me and how I speak it to you. So I don't want to dress it up too much where it loses its impact. For me, I was just reading… The book of 2 Kings can get kind of monotonous. It has all of these bad kings in the northern kingdom of Israel. There wasn't one good one. In Judah, the southern kingdom, because it was a divided kingdom… There are eight good kings, but there are over 20 kings in all. It's mostly like going through and saying this is the king that reigned during this prophet's tenure as a prophet, and he was a bad king, and he did some things right, and then he did some things horrible. So you just kind of get in this mode, reading it just day after day, chapter after chapter, where you're just hoping, like, maybe this guy will get it right, because they keep letting the nation worship idols, and you keep going, stop worshiping the idols. Worship God. Then you wonder if maybe somebody would say that about you if they watched your life too. Stop worshiping money. Stop worshiping stuff. Stop worshiping acceptance. Stop… Anyway, maybe not you. Just me. Okay. Just me. Just me. Okay. Okay. So we come across this, and this phrase stood out to me. I'm going to give you two verses from 2 Kings 14, 21, and 22, coming up on the screen right now. Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was 16 years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

Hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life. Enjoy the message. Sit down, and let's get into it today. I'm going to sit down with you. We'll get into the sermon a little differently. I'm going to do it like if it was Jeopardy. Does anybody watch Jeopardy? At my mom's house on Wednesday night, she cooks for us, and we watch Jeopardy and then Wheel of Fortune, but I'm more on that Wheel of Fortune intelligence level if I'm being honest with you than the Jeopardy intelligence level. I really am. That's true. So, Wheel of Fortune is really our show. It's called Vittles, Vinyls, and Vanna. I go over to my mom's. She cooks vittles for us, and then she picks out a vinyl. I have a record player, so we'll listen to something like Creedence Clearwater Revival or something safe, sanctified, sanctimonious, like that. Then we'll watch Vanna White.

I want you to play along if you're at home. I'm going to say a description of a Bible character. We won't go long with this, and then you'll just say in the form of a question like they do on Jeopardy, who is blank if you know it. If you don't know, it's okay.

I didn't know that. No. Because I almost went to this game, so he coached it last night. No, pregame. He sat down, he's kind of coughing and sounding not so great at whatever and did his whole pre game media and the next thing you know he was tested into protocols. So that was that. I think Jacques von coached lesson. I didn't know that. Because last night we had an event with the book, and then we were on to dinner, so I didn't even see that. Yeah. I'll take some now. Joe was thinking, if you had any plans to see him while you were here briefly, I guess that would be out the window. Last night would have been the time to go, but no, no, I didn't. I'm not going to end up seeing him. How often do you check in with him? He's had the weirdest start to a coaching career. Obviously he came in, you got a star stock team and everything else, and then another star, but now that star's gone and it's a different star, hardened Simmons, whatever Kyrie plays only have to get. It's nuts. How's he holding up? Are you are you counseling him long distance? You know, honestly, I'll check on him once in a while. I don't want to bother him too much. I know he's there's a lot on his plate. There is a lot on his plate, leading, leading that ship. So I check in occasionally on him every couple of weeks, say, hey, how's it going? How are you feeling? And then I don't want to bother him with basketball questions and stuff. He needs to talk about anyways every day and give a press conference. So I want to check on him. How's he doing? How's life? How are the kids? And I'm sure when we get together at some point, maybe after the season, we'll dive a little bit further into what's happening, how was the season? But I don't really want to pile on and start asking how is Katie? How's this health when is it coming back? That's not me and I don't want to bother him, but I'm sure it's a lot. In the New York market, of course, and then the high expectations, the pressure, and then all the injuries that came, I still think if Kyrie and harden don't get hurt last year to me, they should have won the championship. So it was disappointing..

"Alejandro grin down the journalist. Suspension fucked yeah. The britain nodded and turned greener when the technical hit another pothole. Many supposed he should offer a comforting word to the man that would be good business but allowed part of him looked at reggie's brand new boots and thought he can stand a little less comfort. The journalists would brag about this ride for months once he got home escorting reporters from the safety of austin to this hundred hotspots of the old metroplex was not manny's ideal career two years ago. He'd been working. On a bachelor's in business administration from the university of austin the plan had been to get a job with ages biosystems than charm his way into a working visa and a gig in california republic but the fighting had started up again in ruined all that the corporate this time was the heavenly a loose assortment of christian extremist militias. They boiled out from the suburbs of the old metroplex and all but broken the republic of texas. The thomas city of austin had stabilized. The situation with the help of an alliance of leftist techs malicious. The secular defense forces beating them back had cost a lot in blood and time and forced manny to change every plan. He'd ever had for his life so he'd embraced the situation and started his own business. Hiring on some friends as employees together they built the best network of stringers in north texas. His boys fed him video contacts and news updates and he sold what he could to. The big foreign media conglomerates in a couple more months he'd have enough saved up that he could fuck off fly to europe and apply for refugee visa. My answer pretty good as long as the war doesn't end too soon. The technical role to creaky stop in front of a checkpoint that had clearly been erected. Within the last few days it was just a collapsible electronic gate into sandbag placements on either side of the battered highway. A street sign nearby announced that they were on the edge of richardson formerly suburb of dallas and currently a forward position of the people's protection army a local anarchist militia. Manny could see the ppa's red black triangle emblem stitched onto the jackets of the soldiers guarding the checkpoint. One of the ppa men walked up to the driver's side window and started chatting with philip. The driver fill in manny's cousin. Alejandro were both with the citizens front. A more or less political militia from the suburbs of austin both militias coexisted under the broad umbrella of the secular defense forces. The stf had been organized by the canadian government to lump all of north texas is palatable militant groups into a single package that could be conveniently armed while the first guard. Talk with philip. His partner did a circuit around the back of the truck. The man was big bulging with muscles so sculpted and prominent they had to be that grown and he moved with the twitchy ungracious of a man who had replaced his nervous system with circuitry. His weapon was very old very battered. Ar fifteen with an m two four three grenade launcher below the barrel. The leader was old. Us military gear the former had been someone's toy before the revolution give america's half billion civilian guns a new rizal debt. The man moved back to the barricades when he'd finished his lap. Reggie looked up at manny. And asked was he was. He crowned many smiled. That was always one of the first questions as soon as any foreign journo saw trooper with large build skin with an off shade or just move a little too fast to seem completely right. Anything beyond basic aesthetic in medical modifications were banned in civilized countries like the uk the real crown the implants that would let a man lift truck or take a rocket to the belly. That shit was locked up tight. Few national militaries even used the stuff these days not after the revolution. He's got some background muscles. Many said in an off handed way that suggested such things were common aftermarket. Nerves to probably stuff is low grade. That's why it's so visible. Reggie nodded his eyes. Stayed locked on the big man. He was quiet for a while before he spoke again. You just live right alongside them. Don't you many shrugged. Everybody's got something out here and the wet wears but let us hold back the martyr's they own the whole city if it weren't for half fats like him. The journalists nodded and his gaze stayed fixed upon the militiamen until a troubled look crossed his face. He glanced back to manny. Are you all crammed. Reggie asked many smiled. I don't expect either of us. A stock sapien. But i doubt get anything you don't ridge seemed somewhat comforted by this most of what i've read about the really heavy. Maude says they cause a lot of well unstable behavior. That's why that's why the cities such a shithole many asked. The journalist had the grace to blush. Many looked away for a moment. His is landed on the bones of three large public housing buildings. A barrel bomb had detonated in the center of the courtyard all three shared. It had peeled away the walls some of the floors and the resulting firestorm had burned up everything that wasn't concrete steel or rebar for just a moment many felt bad about hoping the war hung on and other six months. The old government blamed a lot unrelated up veterans with military grade. Mods he told reggie most was just propaganda fearmongering people were pissed after twenty years of plague disaster and poverty. Manny shrugged. It's true though. A lot of chrome vets turned on the government. You can't make men into god's and expect them to keep fighting for men. Reggie pointed back to the bolting militiamen. Take it muscles. There is pretty far from god. manny laughed. He's just a guy with too much meat. Money gods don't man checkpoints. The brick was excited. Now these were the questions he'd wanted to ask since they met yesterday. Do you know where some of those people are. Reggie couldn't keep the excitement out of his voice. Could we talk to them. Many didn't have any of those contacts. Nor did he know any other fixers. Who did he tried to let the down easy. Most of those folks liba on the road in between the civilized parts of texas in the republic of california. Oh reggie look disappointed. The truck rolled past the wreckage of an old catholic school. It bore signs of being fortified destroyed re fortified in rediscovering several times. The brit was inches from asking another question when the gate man waved them on and the battered. Toyota farted. its way into drive belching and complaining pest in network of potholes until it hit a relatively straight chunk of asphalt only a few minutes now hefei manny said the. Ppa's ford position is about five minutes out. You'll be in the shit then or at least should jason. The journalists face washed over in an even mix of anxiety and pride one of the first lessons manny had learned at this job was that freezes like the shit made rich gringo writers unreasonably excited excited journalists always called manny the next time they were in country giving white kids and kathy is a lifetime of bragging rights for surviving. A couple of days in his home killed his soul just a little bit but many pushed down the anger and told himself that a chip on the shoulder was a lot less useful than money in the bank. The technical rolled off the old highway. Many could see twenty three and spring valley road emblazoned on a weatherbeaten bullet-scarred sign the technical pulled to the right. The gun swayed in its mount. Many couldn't help smiling. The brit instinctively pulled away from it. They rolled up to what had once been a strip mall was now a forward operating base for the people's protection army an old laundromat. A bookstore and a half dozen restaurants now had their roofs ringed with barbed wire and machine gun emplacements. Many could see a line of bullet hole stitched across three of the shops. None of the windows were intact but otherwise the buildings had weathered the war rather well three m one.

"Abrash in the comics you certainly come to side with him in the face of evil similarly with kali though sam had a great speech very effective a one of the best written for the show. Did you gain sympathy for carly after death. I sent me did little bit little bit. Was sam you know. I think he he phrased so eloquently that he didn't have a problem with her goals. It was her methods. That was the problem the way she was out. He literally in fact she was misguided which is exactly the point and ray continuing is still viewed her evil in the way she didn't consider human life and in brackets. He says she indirectly even says battle stars. Life was pointless very influence. She was a little bit of a sociopath that regard so though i very much sided with sam when he told off the senators i couldn't find the same empathy sam had for carly i think arro- was written quite opened down in that sense. I think we're meant to feel disgust. Then have empathy for her but it was quite a difficult thing to balance. I guess that's the point though. Everything isn't necessarily black and white. Don't think that's that's the conclusion of the message. I haven't missed any now. I just want to make sure i have anything. They're going to cut you off ray. So no exact exactly. I'm just going to check you. Troll here are the hibbs exactly. That's right now we don't we. Don't edit anything whatsoever just checking out here we go okay. Kazaa empathy. No that's it yeah. He everything isn't necessarily black and white so okay so i just went to double check. Okay yeah well. Thank you ray for riding in very much. Yeah next time you can. It's you're okay to come through the front window front door instead of the back window. Like i said exactly we. You woke of your concern. We we definitely appreciate you listening. And watching the fan of the falcon of the worst soldier with us because this has been a ball you know and i really enjoyed it. I've really enjoyed talking with nick.

"The end of the episode before this gorgeous because the series have been called obviously until the falcon aware soldier. So what better way to end on that. You know to have the title card. Now re captain. America in the word a soldier to reflect that. Sam wilson is now the new captain america. Exact so definitely wants it. So here's where we're gonna talk about. Salmon bucky air. Were also going to talk a lot of their various storylines so dick. What are your thoughts on our new captain. America in his first venture is well. Well first off by this i. I'm so happy that you know. He fully embraced it by the end of the show. As i suppose. It was very predictable. Yeah he did he did pick up the mantle and just seeing him in the costume. It was such a huge moment. I just wanted to stand up and cheer when that happened. Because i'm sure had this been shot in a movie theater folks who probably been cheering at this point when when shows up and and as i mentioned the fact of having the wings as well it's it's nice inc almost of iron man and captain america together because he has the technology but at the same time he's also got shields so they're almost like molding tech and patriotism into one character for the time being because of course they will be on the cactus coming along so we'll have to see who takes the mantle of iron man whether it will be i hearts but they go to that. Don't don't go over skis on this one because we'll get there. We'll get there exactly got to introduce her first right. That's right so let's not go down that road immediately. But i was so happy to see. And he owns this character from the olden the mantle from the get-go as soon as he shows up he's just treating people know that he is captain america. He's taking folks down and the fact that he doesn't have the serum. I think as even more potency of the whole thing because he actually addresses he might die the fact he's not he's not john walker or he's not steve rogers with the super soldier serum but i think that adds that extra own to the whole thing the he he is like the every man if you will so that's why he incorporates american sense it he really represents what is the best of the of america without needing enhancements and. I hope he doesn't get the super soldier serum to be honest. I like him this way. It's almost like batman if you will because batman doesn't have any sort of that he's rich that's about it that's his superpower power right but he has just basically a guy with gadgets. So that's why. I'm hoping they keep it with the with the same as one. I think it will stay that way. And also bucky. I think was just so pleased and happy you could see. Bucky was just like bucky white. Cry at one point because we're just so overjoyed to see that i think probably relieved. Finally you've decided to do this after we've been here six episodes and you finally decide. Decided bit he took on the fight. Was i really enjoyed the various pieces. We got all over the place. They were just. They were great. It was very well choreographed. It was entertaining and yeah it was very very happy with it. The i do wonder where bucky goes from here. Yeah that's my only question because it's kinda left on address. This is going to be a kind of drifta after his talk with you with your e is you're going to join a samagan saying you know..

"Be killed by the police. Go vague ear right in superheroes which in the marvel comics. Superheroes is reflecting the world outside your window because marvel likes to say. Hey you know. We're the convicts company that addresses these kinds of things where you know. That was one of their big slogans back in back in the day that staley liked to consider marvel the the world outside your window and so when when these tv shows these marvel comics tv shows. I might stress are doing that. I think that you kind of need to appreciate why that's happening. And if you do have a problem with it you need to. I think probably should do some self exploration about why you have that problem. I'm right with you. I do think some so searching required from these individuals who feel this way not to mention if you want. tv shows to be more sophisticated russia's the way you go if you just want to kind of ignorant dumb kind of series of people fighting yeah slice. Vela's slugfest exactly. How do you expect this genre to move forward to be recognized at a higher level if you don't su dress like this also. I didn't think they were particularly preachy. Either i've seen some breaches shows. Believe you me you and i actually to knock on tangent charles for you and i watched penny dreadful city of angels right and you felt that was excessively preachy. A little bit a little bit. I know that there's some criticism of supergirl because that's show can really get up on the soapbox down then blatantly so but here i mean this subject matter that was addressed. Here you know in this episode has been addressed throughout the previous episodes. Exactly it all. This is just a culmination of that. This is where it's brought to. Its climax in the story. And you know. A very transitional. Moment for sam wilson so. I don't really get you knew that going in. Why are you suddenly so upset about it. Now unless you're just upset that again that a black man is captain america. Now i as i mentioned. I just think it's people being bought sore about where everything's been happening..

"Yes so that was nice to have that little bit of continuity throughout all these episodes because they look great in thought. She did a great job at direction in this series. Oh so well paced charles this. It was amazing how quickly this episode possibly by in the sense that just the action packed there was emotion and everything was addressed and tied up so well. I take my hat off to this. Kind of finale. Didn't few clunky. It didn't drag on and you got a little bit of everything so definitely kudos to it just carries for room for sure. And hopefully you'll get more and more projects and bigger projects. 'cause now we've seen what she can do right so hopefully she will get more more work to do when it comes to the mc for sure nice if she got a certain movie yes which will talk about this. I'm so hoping they do give her that. I think that would be a nice little bit of continuity if she she took over the next captain america movie as we learned in going to happen so we told you so if you remember last week so seeing is she ushered in this new captain america. I think we'd be only fat disney to give this woman. Yeah johnston the movie. I think she proved it. I think she proved she can handle it so here. We are the final episode. What else was your general reaction to this. Because i gather you enjoy the finale. I thought you appreciate that wrapped up a lot of loose ends like you said yes. Was there anything else that your actions regarding this episode look. I don't think you could have done any better than this. Because i suppose you possibly could have done in a second post credit scene teasing future movie. That didn't happen. But i'm still satisfied because maybe unlike one division waited. Leave a lot hanging threads hanging out. It didn't really. It was may because some people can see it as a cop out. I think this was less of a cop out. In the sense it concluded the yard. It said here is where we're at. The objective was to be a coming of age. Show if you will or the next era and they accomplished that so there was nothing. I felt unsatisfied about the only thing that was unsatisfied. About was they were anymore episode. I'll happy about it. Chose did you have any nitpicks complaints. When he came to this finale. Though i mean i was trying to read some of the online reactions to this and unfortunately there's a segment in. I kinda knew this was coming given the subject matter in this particular episode. There's a there's a contingent that obviously hated the idea that this was this episode is bogged down in. What they they feel as he'll woke miss. It's the politics of everything in in trying to understand why people for whatever reason think that a hero named captain america wouldn't have any kind of political connection exactly it comes with the territory right right the name america..
