"IHOP, we're talking about international House of prayer, Kansas City, headed up by Mike bickle for many, many years. Now, Mike, what is the website for this 21 day fast to pray fast and pray for Israel? What is the website? And I have it on my screen. It's Isaiah 62 fast dot com or just Isaiah 62 dot com. That's good enough. And you will get right to that. And it's a list of all the ministries that are saying, we're committed to pray one hour a day for 21 days with at least two or three people. Not like a thousand people, and they don't might not even pray together in a room. They might do it virtually on their phone in three different cars. It doesn't matter, or they might join another web stream, there's thousands of web streams that are Tapping into this, and they just pray with someone else. Okay. Now, before Ken fish gets the opportunity to ask you the question, I'll ask you the question. Why? Why are you amassing people to pray and fast for Israel, the website is Isaiah, 62 fast dot com. Isaiah 62 fast dot com. But the question, many people are wondering why? Well, Israel unquestionably, although most will agree with this, will be in their greatest crisis in May in May and June of this year of their 75 year history since becoming a nation in 1948. That's a big statement. Right. So right there, I didn't know that. I was talking to my friend malachi, O'Brien, who was talking to you that he kind of gave me a little bit of this. When I was talking to Ken fish before you came on the call, he was giving me a little bit of this, but most people are not aware of this. The

Why Did Doug Giles Write a Book About John the Baptist?
"Talking to my friend Doug Giles, who is at home with his book, John the Baptist, a rude awakening proceeds a great awakening and with all the animals that he has, wow, killed and had stuffed, which whenever I interview you, I just love the fact that behind you, you've just got all this awesomeness. And you paint, if people want to find you, what's the best website before we forget? Yeah. My neighborhood is Doug Giles dot org. So you'll find. ORG, folks. Check it out. Okay, Doug, you written a book on John the Baptist. In a sense, what made you write a book about John the Baptist, because, you know, a lot of us feel like we've heard a lot about him, but I can't think of a book about him that I have known. So what was your thinking behind this? Yeah, I think it's the revelation. And again, some of you guys like duh captain obvious, but you know, everybody's talking about Jesus and love, and we need more of Jesus and then the Holy Spirit is really highlighted to being in the gospels and the book of malachi, which is the only Italian prophet in the Old Testament. I see Jesus and John just inextricably coupled together. And the message that John brought, again, Eric, you've been to a gazillion churches, you preach all over the planet. I travel a little bit. I go here and there, and I hear sermons online. I don't hear diddly squat about repentance. I don't hear anything about sin. I'm talking about since then, not like, well, you have an addiction and you have a problem. And you're dealing with something right now. John brought it up. Send the wrath of God, the judgment of God, better bear fruit, man, or God's going to cut your tree down.
Your Daily Prayer
A Prayer for Humility
"I was brought to the book of malachi in chapter three and was shown the time when God gave his people the opportunity to turn and repent of their sins. He told the people, returned to me and I will return to you or 7. I will forever remember this moment with the lord, just as I will always remember climbing into the truck with my dad. Humility washed over me once again. God's grace and mercy poured out over my heart. I immediately felt softened, and the thought of harshness felt repulsive. It is true, and I pray you know this too. The love of Christ will always soften us. It will cause us to have humble hearts. It will make us new, whole, and in deep pursuit of the opportunity to share God's love. Let's pray. Lord, thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit and conviction. I praise you for the way your words softens our hearts. May I always seek to look to you for all my answers, and that you are the only one I desire to please. In Jesus name, in.

"And it's oh, we're at a time again. We'll be right back. Doctor my eyes have seen the years and the slope parade of fears without crying final segment with my friend malachi O'Brien, not a made up name. Malachi, again, today, which is to say this will be Wednesday. Of this week, even though we're taping this on Tuesday, because you're still with me in New York. But you will have finished your 153rd consecutive marathon. And I just want to say congratulations. This is just like an astonishing thing that you've done. I can't wait till the Guinness Book officially recognizes it because they have to go through all of the, if I would pay a significant amount of money, they would go through it faster. I'm not going to pay it. I'm going to just take the slow route. But there is a way to expedite it. Wow. That's crazy. Yeah, you haven't been running to raise money, so it's not like you've raised money and whatever. But I do hope you will write a book about it. And we can talk about it. And we get to talk more about all this other stuff. I mean, you've been, as I said, before a student of the history of revival, and we're seeing that in our country and you just said, was it Mike bickle, said something? Yeah, in 1982 or 1983, Mike bickle said the lord told him that he was the lord was going to change the expression of Christianity in one generation. It was a prophetic word, the lord gave to Mike bickle. And we're seeing that play out before our very eyes right now. I think that's right. I mean, the old expression was go to church. Do your thing, pay your ties, be a part of a Bible study. But there's a generation that wants 24/7. They want a vibrant faith that they want to sit before the board, they want to burn before them, they want to go out and make a difference. And so I really believe that's come to pass before very eyes. Well, and again, it's what God designed us for. He didn't design us to keep our faith in this little religious corner. It's supposed to affect your entitled life, and that's joy. Harsh burden, just the opposite. Now, so if you think it's a harsh burden, you're getting it wrong, which is what I talked to Barry Maguire about. I mean, it can be such a joyful adventure. And I think there are a lot of people I've talked about this, they have a theology, they kind of act like God is not alive or he's not speaking today or he's not doing miracles today. And I just think, wow, that would be, that would be a bummer of a faith. I'm glad it's not true. You'd have to be ignorant to history to believe that God doesn't speak today and doesn't do Supernatural things that you'd have to really be oblivious to the history of revival into the history of awakenings and to how God's done spoken is done great thanks art history. And so and again, it's sad because there's so much more available. And I mean, there's been critics of this last revival and you've said, we've got to ignore the critics. They're jughead's. Yeah. No, but it is kind of funny, like there are these nattering nabobs of negativism to quote William sapphire, it was actually in the mouth of vice president Spiro Agnew at the time. But the nattering nabobs of negativism, they are just, they're exactly like Jesus referred to the children in the marketplace that you will complain when I sing a dirge. You didn't mourn when I played the pipe, you did not. And now there's no matter what you do, they will find some negative twist on it. And it gives them some sick joy to kind of rain on your parade. And anybody who finds something wrong with what happened in asbury, oh my goodness. Are they aware of the evil and suffering in this world when you see students just prostrating themselves before God and asking God to come? I mean, it's so beautiful. It's such a beautiful gift. It's dangerous to actually be as critical. Some people have been because they're attributing the work of God to the enemy to Satan and the Bible speaks very clearly about how dangerous that is. Yeah. A little dangerous to get something that important that wrong. But I'll say this, I won't revival. If anything from magic every time I think I need revival. People that need revival the most live like they need at the least..

We're doing a fundraiser for food for the port $72 if you can spare it will feed two hungry children in Honduras and nutritious meal twice a day for a full year and clean drinking water for a lifetime.

Malachi O'Brien is my guest. Malachi, people can find you on Instagram and Twitter. Malachi O'Brien, not a lot of malachi O'Brien's out there. Whose name a kid malachi? Come on. I didn't even have Christian parents. That's the craziest thing. There's no faith in our family. But malachi is like a very Irish name. Yes. Malachi, O'Brien. My opinion is it came because of children of the corn. Yeah, that's I'm sure that's the reference they were going for. So but people can follow you on social media and where you've been documenting every day what you've been doing. But so tomorrow, your family, they want you back because this has been a huge sacrifice for them. So tomorrow you'll be with them. You'll run the final, the final consecutive marathon, and do you I mean, what does somebody do after they've done something like, you know, it's like when I talk to Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie duke, and he's giving us the tales of this moment in his life 50 years ago when he landed on the moon. It's exquisite detail that he's lived with his whole life. But when he came back, he was like, okay, now what? When you do anything great, you know, there's the now what? What do you think, how do you deal with that? Well, I don't know exactly what I'm going to do because this has become so ingrained in my life. So I already taught before, I've already planned a few other goals in mind, because I think that's key to not sinking into depression because it's over because the high goes away, like the victory, the prize. It leaves fast. And so I've already planned a few other things, but I'm actually one of the things I look forward to is getting back to the prayer room. It's been a more time with the lord at the prayer room. Well, you think people know what you're talking about. They don't. How about telling the people who are listening, what you mean by that? You live in Kansas City. Yes, I live in Kansas City. I live exactly 17 minutes, and I've actually ran to the program at the international House of prayer. This is Mike pickle. Yes. International House of prayer. I was there a year and a half ago, and they have a prayer room there. 24/7 for the last 23 years. There's never been a moment. There's not been prayer and worship going on from that place in the last 23 years. So that's part of what you want to do. Yeah, I love the prayer room. It's part of my life. I really just want to, especially asbury really affected me. It actually rigged out in my heart as a pastor, to be a better pastor, to better love our people and help not to be a typical pastor. I have thoughts about that. But again, delete our people to want to hunger and spend more time before the lords. That's one thing I want to get back to because I've been praying and listening to the Bible while I'm running. That's a little different than just being still. So I look forward to that. I look forward to spending a little bit more time with my kids, actually. Because my wife and kids have paid a sacrifice because I've not always been at everything because of doing this. So I look forward to spend time with them. But I look forward to finding new ways to push the limit. I mean, it's not sadistic. But I really look forward to finding out what is the mental and physical and emotional limit that a person can go to. I've got to challenge, I know you won't be able to do. Do not run for a 153 consecutive days. I know that's something you can never do. You're not capable of that. You ran 22 miles this week. I'm impressed. No, just yesterday. Yeah. I ran before that. I mean, I try to run, not every day, but there's a question. Will I run today? I don't know. I don't think I have time. I think of some doctor's appointment or something like that. What frustrates me? Because I was thinking, maybe I should run a little bit today. Yeah, I had to face that every day. I had to make it that this run was going to be the number one thing I do. No matter what. I ran when I was sick. I ran when it was snowing. I ran and it was raining. I ran at one in the morning. I ran at 1130 at night. It just became a non negotiable. And I wasn't up for debate at any given moment. There was no debate no negotiation. But you helped me figure out a day to end and tomorrows that day. I'm going to finish the last mile on our high school track with the local track team. I'm going to speak to the track team, share a few things I've learned from this. I mean, I've learned so many things. I actually maybe started running so people would know who I am, like that matters like that's going to change the world. But in the midst of running, I've discovered who I am. It's not so much people know who I am..

"This is all beautiful. We'll be right back final segment with malachi O'Brien. We're all thinking about time just moving along you forget about me after I've been gone. Folks, welcome back. I still can't believe I'm sitting here. Malachi, you did it. Today you ran your 152nd consecutive marathon, malachi O'Brien, you're going to be in the record books. You got to send 15 terabytes of what videotape. To the Guinness Book so that they can verify this. And then tomorrow, by God's grace, you run your 153rd marathon. You say you've been running for revival. You've been running for adoption. You've been running for teenage mental health. So we hope you're going to put this all in a book. 100%, you're going to put in a book. I mean, I can't but not. It's been a gift that the lord has given me to have 6 hours almost every day to be in my head and be in my thoughts and have reflected on so many things that I feel like I have to go on paper that I believe would really help a lot of people. So absolutely. Will you remember all these thoughts? And I just can't believe I journaled almost every day after I've run. So I won't forget any of it. Oh my gosh. So now when you stop this, you're so obsessive that you said you're not going to stop running. You're just going to stop running a marathon a day. Yes. I'm going to keep running, no days off. Keep the running street growing, going. I'm going to apply for two other Guinness records I want to attempt in the future. Now, can you talk about that? Yeah. I'm going to apply for the most consecutive half marathons ever completed. And I'm going to apply for the most consecutive half marathons run on a treadmill. Ever completed. Because I've had to run all these marathons outside. So I'm kind of curious what it would be like, do you want a treadmill? So I actually think that would just be horrifying to run on a treadmill. Why would you do that? I want to test the limit. I want to find out the mental and physical limit. I think a lot of people never push themselves so they never really discover who they really are. If you never go through trials or tough times, you never discover what you're really made of and what you really can accomplish. Most people live Technicolor lives in a four K HD world. And they need to press through some hard times to discover who they really are. So, and then also I'm going to be running a apply for to be a part of a backyard ultra race in Arkansas this summer. That's going to be a really fun race. That's the one where you have to run four miles every single hour each hour. At the top of each hour, faster slow, but you have to complete four miles in the 4.166667. That's the technical distance. And you have to run till no one else comes to the starting line except for you. Well, wait a minute. So you mean you run four miles. Okay. Then you stop. Yep. But then in a few minutes, you got to go again because that's the top of the hour again. And so if you're doing, let's say, a ten minute mile, you do it in about 40 minutes. So then another 15, 20 minutes, you got to go again. So you're telling me that people will do that and then another hour they'll do it again. And again, and again, and the question is, how many hours? I mean, I can't believe that. And believe it or not, there's a U.S. national team for this. There is a world championships of these backyard ultras that take place out of a big backyard ultra and outside of Nashville. He's the guy that started it. He's the guy that started the Barclays. So what's the world record of that? This is what's insane. It happened just a little less than a year ago. I believe that the nation was hungry, but I could be wrong, but a 101 or a 104 happened just this last year. Okay, that's several days. Yeah, that's a 101 hours. They call it a lap when you finish four miles. They did a 101 laps. But that's four days. Four days. So you don't get to sleep for four days? Nope. You keep running for four days. Yes. Okay, I rebuke that idea. I totally rebuke that. I get malachi, we achieved our goal, my goal was to get you in the studio today to talk about this. We're going to keep you around and do more talking either for tomorrow or another day..

"Folks, I'm talking to my friend malachi O'Brien, malachi, once again, I got to tell my audience, I can't believe we never do this kind of thing, but you finished your 152nd consecutive marathon today, so you're going to go home tomorrow, you're going to do the final one. I had the privilege of doing this with you yesterday. And we had fun because I thought to myself, when you're running at that pace, you can actually talk. And so you and I talked and we just had this wonderful fellowship and we found ourselves, I mean, I don't know if I said this when I was talking to Alban before, but we ran to New Jersey. We ran across the George Washington bridge, which of course was my idea. I'd done this once before on my previous world distance world record personal record run. But the idea that from my house, you could run across the Hudson to New Jersey on the bike path. And that was insane and fun to do with you. We took pictures. But then on the way home, we passed a number of sites central to the story of bahn hoffer. And I was able to point out where he stayed. That's the room where he stayed in 1939 when he made his big decision. And this is riverside church that welcomes Fidel Castro into its pulpit. But in 19 39, when Bond hoffer was here, he went to hear a sermon there, and it would dissolve in my bond hopper, but I was able to tell you the story and then to say, and then that evening, he heard another sermon at this quote unquote, fundamentalist church, a few blocks south on Broadway, and how delighted he was. And so it was just fun running with you. And if you come back to New York, I just want to do more of this with you because there's other fun things that we can do and see. But it really, it just was fun. So I just want to thank you for letting me be a part of what you're doing. And this is historic. But I want to talk again about why you run. You said you're running your adopted, talk about that. Yeah. And I have three causes, but I was adopted when I was three years old, by family. And that made a massive impact on my life. I mean, I don't have time to go into the backstory, but my birth parents were, there's some major issues there. The family took us in when they didn't have to. And that deeply impacted my life. And then when I gave my life to Christ, my church family became my family. I got God called me to ministry when I was 13 years old. And I got married when I was 18 years old. And hold on. That can't be right. When you told me that, I mean, I know this is true, but literally no one gets married when they're 18 years old. In this generation, but you did. So you're 39. And you have a daughter that is, you have a daughter. It's 19, son that 17 has done this 14, a daughter that's ten, and then an adopted son who's who he just turned to my other daughter is 11. And so, but again, my wife and I have always felt like we wanted to adopt, want to adopt. And we always thought we'd adopt them overseas. I went to India when I was in high school and thought that's what we would adopt. But then through a series of events, this young man that was in our church was going to be put back in the foster care system. He'd been there his whole life. It had been there his whole, almost his entire life, and we knew, if someone doesn't adopt this kid, he's going to age out in the system. And so the lord put on my wife's heart first and said, you know what? We can do it. We have a house. We have the resources. We see to be able to say yes. So we did it. And it's been challenged, but we'd never go back on it. We've learned so much. I mean, the lord called us to adopt. And that's given us a deep heart for foster care and adoption. So many things we ended up sharing with people. So that was one major cause, because the church can actually solve that problem in America. That's a tangible problem that the church can take to zero..

"Believe we don't normally do this on this program. We don't normally have a freewheeling Marx brothers approach to the program. But today, I said, if we can do this, malachi O'Brien, my friend, you and I ran yesterday, you did your 151st consecutive marathon tomorrow in New York. You're going to attempt to run your 152nd consecutive marathon. Could you do it before the program so that you could be on the program and talk about it and you did it. I heard you leave my house this morning because Georgie barked at like 6 30 a.m. or something like that. Georgie Barker was like, Georgie shut up. It's malachi. He's going on a run. You just finished. You know, you made a decision, there's a lot to talk about, but you made a decision, you know, when you broke the record of a 104 at what point do you say enough? Like, how does that work? You know, I actually, I didn't know how to say how to stop. I mean, literally, I feel like I'd go forever. And so it was really through counsel of Friends. Because I want to keep going, but I can tell my body's breaking down. I want to see how far I can push the limits. You want to see how far you can break your body down. See, this is where as one of your friends, I want to say to you, no, stop that. You've got to be careful because you could actually do permanent damage. And you want to be, you know, you want to be a good steward of your body. But at some point, you said, what? How far did you decide you thought it reasonable to go? I've actually a couple of weeks ago, and it was really kind of the start of the asbury revival and there are some thoughts around that because the lord really did a work in my heart during that time. I decided I was also running for revival. And just some things in my spirit shifted and then just conversation you and I had a conversation other people had I said, you know, it's trying to put a bow on this. And I told you, I'm going to do one 51 and you said no. I mean, you're the reason why I'm doing two more. Because you said no. Well, because I thought if you're doing a 151, if you're just going to pick, why would you pick that number? What's that number? There was a lady in Australia. Did this did a 150 marathons back to back, tip to toe? I believe it will be Guinness qualified if everything gets turned in for her. And so I knew I was just a few weeks behind her. So one O four might be the record, but you thought in order to make sure that I get the record, I would need to do a 151. Correct. So you at that point said, okay, I'll go that far. And that's when I said, wait a second. If you're going to do that many, why not do one 53? Because one 53 is a magical number from the gospels when Jesus says to them, you know, throw your net on that side of the boat and they caught so many fish it was like just an insane miracle, but they counted the fish. I think I've written about this in two of my books. They counted the vision ends up being a 150 three. And the specificity of that number is not like it was a lot of fish. It's a number that obviously told the people of that day like you want to know how many fish they caught. I mean, if you're a fisherman in the sea Galilee and somebody says we caught a 155th, they'd be like, what? Because it was not just some random number we caught a lot of fish. But also, it just has this magical significance as a number to me because it's so random. Well, it also they've debated that it might have actually been the number of nations that were in the world at that time too. Well, that's what I mean. There's a lot of speculation on what does one 53 mean. And I thought if I were you, which I ain't, and my thighs can attest to that today, having run 22 miles yesterday. But I just thought how cool it would be to do one 53. So your goal, of course, is to fly home tonight. And tomorrow, to run this final marathon in the bosom of your family. Yeah, and actually the good news is the weather's going to be nice tomorrow because a lot of these marathons have been, I've done them at 1 a.m. 2 a.m.. One of those days I did it when it was -20° below. -20. You don't need to say -20 below. It's implied by the minus. Yes. But wait a minute. So when you told me this, I got really upset. You were in Colorado? Yeah, Woodland park Colorado. So you're like up in the mountains. Yeah. Way high altitude, not enough oxygen. 8500 feet of elevation. So already insane, like I can't function at that elevation because there's not enough oxygen. You decide you're there with your family, you decide, oh, okay, I'm going to do marathon up here. And if that's not bad enough, you're telling me it was 20 below. Yeah, the decision was already made in my mind. There was no other option. Like, I literally had no other option every day I'm going to run a marathon, so it was toying below. I decided to figure out how to not die. And so I had so much clothes on. I had a mask on. I couldn't even wear my glasses because the mask I was wearing, but my eyes were freezing shut, literally. I got to have to wipe my eyes every 60 seconds because they were literally freezing shut. It was that cold on that day. I think the Spanish word is loco. Honestly, I just can't believe that. Are you going to write a book about this? 100%, 100%. I mean, I just, I can't believe this. Now, you're running for a number of causes. I want to talk about that. Because I do think now, do you have a website where people can go and find everything's been on my social media, which I'm the only at malachi O'Brien on the planet. That's the beauty of having the name malachi. There's not a lot of them. It's either the Bible or children of the corn, depending on where people's background is. Okay, so malachi O'Brien is you're on you're on Twitter and on Instagram. Twitter, Instagram, they have a public Facebook page. You have a public okay. So Malacca, people can reach you, whatever. But you have been doing this to raise money for anything. And that gives me a segue here on this program this month. I got to say this before we go to the break, we are raising money for food for the poor.

We'll feed two kids in Honduras a nutritious meal twice a day for one year. This is unbelievable.

Malachi O'Brien Doesn't Know How to Stop Running
"Normally have a freewheeling Marx brothers approach to the program. But today, I said, if we can do this, malachi O'Brien, my friend, you and I ran yesterday, you did your 151st consecutive marathon tomorrow in New York. You're going to attempt to run your 152nd consecutive marathon. Could you do it before the program so that you could be on the program and talk about it and you did it. I heard you leave my house this morning because Georgie barked at like 6 30 a.m. or something like that. Georgie Barker was like, Georgie shut up. It's malachi. He's going on a run. You just finished. You know, you made a decision, there's a lot to talk about, but you made a decision, you know, when you broke the record of a 104 at what point do you say enough? Like, how does that work? You know, I actually, I didn't know how to say how to stop. I mean, literally, I feel like I'd go forever. And so it was really through counsel of Friends. Because I want to keep going, but I can tell my body's breaking down. I want to see how far I can push the limits. You want to see how far you can break your body down. See, this is where as one of your friends, I want to say to you, no, stop that. You've got to be careful because you could actually do permanent damage. And you want to be, you know, you want to be a good steward of your body. But at some point, you said, what? How far did you decide you thought it reasonable to go? I've actually a couple of weeks ago, and it was really kind of the start of the asbury revival and there are some thoughts around that because the lord really did a work in my heart during that time. I decided I was also running for revival. And just some things in my spirit shifted and then just conversation you and I had a conversation other people had I said, you know, it's trying to put a bow on this. And I told you, I'm going to do one 51 and you said no. I mean, you're the reason why I'm doing two more. Because you said no. Well, because I thought if you're doing a 151, if you're just going to pick, why would you pick that number? What's that number? There was a lady in Australia. Did this did a 150 marathons back to back, tip to toe? I believe it will be Guinness qualified if everything gets turned in for her. And so I knew I was just a few weeks behind her. So one O four might be the record, but you thought in order to make sure that I get the record, I would need to do a 151. Correct. So you at that point said, okay, I'll go that far. And that's when I said, wait a second. If you're going to do that many, why not do one 53? Because one 53 is a magical number from the gospels when Jesus says to them, you know, throw your net on that side of the boat and they caught so many fish it was like just an insane miracle, but they counted the fish. I think I've written about this in two of my books. They counted the vision ends up being a 150 three. And

Malachi O'Brien Runs Into the Studio to Discuss His 152 Marathons
"Malachi, welcome. Eric, thanks for having me. Malachi, look, you just finished running a marathon today before the program. You just finished, you got here, they put makeup on you and here you are. Yes. You have finished running your 152nd consecutive marathon. I want to shake your hand. I am honored that this would work out that you came to New York to do these two marathons in New York City so that you could come on the program. I don't know where to begin. Let's just start with the fact that you're planning to fly home tonight, Kansas City, and to run your final 153rd marathon at home among your family, or in. Simple question. I've been talking to you a lot about this, but my audience doesn't have a clue. First of all, if you, if somebody says to you, apart from running these marathons, what are you doing in your regular life? When you're not breaking records, like who are you? Well, you know, I have a family, you know, people go, how can you married? The answer is yes. My first wife and I have been married 21 years. So still married to her. We have 5 kids. And obviously, I passed her a church in the Kansas area. I'm an entrepreneur. And involved in a lot of things. So people go, how do you do all that? Well, first off, there's no balance in my life. I'm not trying to live a balanced life. A balanced life was a boring life. I live in obsessed life. And so that's what I'm doing. This is why I love you because you're crazy in the right way. It's very important to be crazy, but in the right way,

"Would. Herba ellingwood was the legal affairs secretary for governor Reagan. Governor Reagan. That's how far back we're talking. I've been doing this for a long time. So this is the 60s. I'm 80 years old. I'm proud of it. But what a ride. So and because of this, I sat next to him at the head table and for an hour, we didn't talk about Reagan. He talked nonstop about his faith sharing experiences. He was laughing. He was cried. And then last night, you can't believe and he was going off. And I got into such conviction I walked away in tears. That's what I want. I want his joy. And Karen and I started talking and we prayed. We said, okay, for now on, we're going to move everybody. We can closer to Jesus. That was 1976. Okay? That was 1973. Excuse me. Is it three years before? I thought it was going four time ministry. And you know what? Before we knew it, we just were talking. We got joy. We do. We have joy. And we've had it ever since. And surely after that, we found this scripture that we'd read before, but didn't have any meaning to us. And now it does. He says in John 1511 it's that last parable where the dry branches and the ones that bear fruit, he says, when you bear fruit, ah, then you're my disciple. And my jaw remained with you. My joy. My joy will remain. And your joy will remain full, and it works. It does. We've had ever since then, we've had joy. I can give you a lot more scriptures about why, but we're an amazing word. Unbelievable. Notice it's his joy. His joy remains with us. He brings us joy. When I, when I walk away from face sharing experiences, which is every day, I have to look up. And I see Jesus smiling at me. You know we can grieve God, but did you know you could give God joy? Did you know you can? Your joy doesn't give you strength. It's his joy. And when I know he just directed me into a conversation and he just gave me the words to say, and I just saw a life change. And I walk away from that, I woke up and he smiled at me. What do you think that does for me? Puts a bounce in my step and ignites your life. That's what I'll do. Okay, so obviously the book is titled ignite your life. But the fact is, I mean, again, it's taken me years to see that there are many people. I hope I'll see them in heaven. They seem to believe some of the theology that I believe, but they don't have this adventure. They don't have this joy. And it's one of the reasons we're friends and your wife, Karen, is exactly the same. There's the joy. It's like a secret joy. Like I've got this secret inside. And I can't hide it because it's bubbling out. It's this joyful relationship with a father in heaven who really loves me. I'm not performing to get his love. He loves you because he loves you, not because he can use you. It's primarily because he loves you. His fort. He spends four time with you. He spends four time with me. He spends four time with you. The capacity of God we can't even fathom it, but he spends full time with us. They get that. He spends full time with us, and he wants to direct your steps. He wants to be our friend. He wants to speak through us. He wants to use every moment so you just know your power by the Holy Spirit. It's amazing. Last night we talked about the scripts are one of my favorite scripture versus Romans 8 28. All things work together for good for those that love the lord and are called according to his purposes. Yes. Now that scripture, I realize that since 1988, I was just saying my book came out in paperback, fish out of water that ends up with me accepting Jesus. Since that moment, I can look back and see clearly how God has directed my steps oftentimes totally miraculously. Oh, like where you just say like, wow. That was God. That was not coincidence. That was not, it's so clear. And I think to myself, God wants that for everyone, he wants us to be able to experience him in a visceral daily way that's not just, I got this theology and I'm doing my best, but I have a joy. And because you have, look, first of all, I'm glad you wrote a book about it because we could talk about this, but the book is ignite your life, defeat fear with effortless faith. And you live this very. You live this. You're not in full-time ministry, but you are talking to people in Jesus. You are not officially in full-time ministry, but it is your life, and I want to obviously have you, I want to record more with you so we can continue the conversation tomorrow the next day because there's so much more and I want to get into the book. But we just got two minutes left before malachi blows through here in his running gear. The book is ignite your life defeat fear with effortless faith. There are many Christians who, you know, when you say they don't have joy, the downside of that is that I mean, I should say not the downside of that, but the flip side of that is there's a fear operating. It's almost like they're fearing they're fearing God's judgment more than their appreciating the joy that this awesome God who is a judge loves you and wants to speak to you and walk with you. 80% of Christians are living in fear today. It's unbelievable. They're living in fear today. If you're living in fear, you don't have faith. Of course, without faith that's impossible to please God, but more importantly, if you're living in fear without faith, you can't share your faith. So I would say that Satan has sterilized he's paralyzed, but he's sterilized the church today, where, without faith, we can't share a face so he can keep it so we can't reproduce ourselves. Actually now lad the way you put it last night, which I think is really telling is or people are sharing their faith in a wooden religious formulaic way that pushes people away. People are looking for joy and light and something inauthenticity and they see this kind of formulaic religious, like you need to believe this and do this and pray this prayer. And they, a lot of people, they kind of just back away because they go, you know what? If there is a God, that doesn't smell like the God that I think. And it's hard. All the effort, I have to remember the script to get the points in and I'm sweaty. I did that to begin with, and then I read this culture. Jesus said they'll know you, you're my disciple by your love. And when you just forget about getting them saved, just generally love on people..

The real Eric's in jail. Folks, welcome back. If I seem tired, it's because I'm tired. I ran 22 miles yesterday, right? I endured it. I did it. We're hoping that our friend malachi O'Brien will appear in a few minutes and that we will have him on the program today in studio to talk about setting this world record. It's insane. I'm sitting here now with my friend Barry Maguire, Barry. So we're talking about your book ignite your life, defeat fear with effortless faith. You and I last night at dinner with malachi. We're talking about your experiences with David wilkerson and what it is. And again, when I came to faith, I assumed that if you're born again, if you accept Jesus, you have this kind of an adventure. Which is exciting and fun. But as the years passed, I met a lot of people who call themselves evangelicals or born again, whatever, who don't have this joy, who don't have this life, and I kind of think, gosh, what's the point of that? It just seems like they're missing the adventure of walking with the living God. I mean, here you are talking about miracle stories. You and I could talk for days about miracle stories. We could. And I think there are a lot of people think, well, that's not for me. But you're saying it is. I mean, the book we're talking about, brand new book, ignite your life, defeat fear with effortless faith. Now why do you say defeat fear? How does that come into it? Well, let me go back to joy first, because it's a really important point. You know, I am where I am right now. Karen and I where we are right now because we are searching for joy. I was raised Sunday morning Sunday Night Wednesday night at church. I mean, and a sacrificial giving time resources, whatever. We did all that for the first day of marriage on, okay? Okay, but it was a little bit legalistic. Well, yes, absolutely. I was coming on the nazarene church, and that's what you do at my folks modeled that well. But Karen, I realized that we didn't have joy. We had no joy. We kept saying, God we're doing all the three I were trying to earn God's favor. Folks God loves you. You can't make him love you any more than what he loves you. But we didn't understand that. And we're just trying to earn our way somehow. And so we started praying for joy. God, we want joy. We went to a lunch or a church where there was a 50th anniversary of the San an first assembly of God. And the speaker was her bowing.

Guarded By Prayer
"Chapter two for 16. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not be faithless. What a simple verse, potent command that just very simply leads us to pray. They think about it. God's saying to his people, guard yourselves in your spirit and do not be faithless. Do you realize what this is very clearly implying that if we don't guard ourselves, we will grow faith less. Maybe just turn that around to be faithful requires guarding yourself in your spirit. Faithfulness doesn't just come naturally. It comes through Supernatural, God, empowered effort to guard ourselves to guard our hearts to guard our minds so that we might be faithful, full of faith. You know, obedient, oh, isn't this what we long to hear in our lives at the end to stand before Jesus and hear him say, well done, good and faithful servant. This is my constant prayer. I would encourage you. Make this your constant prayer. Amidst whatever you're walking through, amidst whatever circumstances you find yourself in right now, whatever God has entrusted to you, that which is great or easy, wonderful, and that which is hard, not easy. Doesn't feel great to pray in the middle of both. God help me to be faithful.

"Before we kick off this episode of pray the word, I want to take just a moment to ask you to prayerfully consider giving to radical. When you give the radical, you are partnering with us to reach multitudes of people from events where we can mobilize lord willing thousands of young adults for the spread of the gospel among the nations to translating biblical and theological training resources for pastors and church leaders in other countries, particularly places where it is very hard to spread the gospel to addressing urgent spiritual and physical needs on the front lines of the unreached and training and equipping that will help ordinary everyday Christians live for the spread of the gospel among the nation's particularly those who've never heard about Jesus everything we do around was made possible when people like you give. So my prayer is that you would consider partnering with us today. You can do that easily by going to radical dot net, just click on the give button there. And when you do, you can know you're giving toward that which lord willing will have an impact on the nation's for all of eternity. Free the word with David Platt is a resource from radical .NET. Malachi chapter one verse 14 cursed to be the cheat, who has a male and his flock and vows it, and yet sacrifices to the lord what is blemished. For I am a great king, says the lord of hosts and my name will be feared among the nations on a picture of God and dieting his people for offering a sacrifice to him that was not worthy of him for thinking they could deceive God the picture as an animal in a house that is a fit sacrifice what God has prescribed in the Old Testament and someone says I vow I will sacrifice this animal and yet instead sacrifices a blemished animal that would be more convenient for them to sacrifice less costly for them to sacrifice and God basically says, who are you worshiping? I'm a great king since the lord of hosts and my name will be feared among the nations God is worthy, not of convenient sacrifices that work well for you. God is worthy of costly sacrifices that express honor and fear and glory to his name. Can I say that again and just make sure we make the connection? Obviously we don't offer animal sacrifices in the same way as we see in the Old Testament, but think Romans 12 one, therefore in view of God's mercy, let us offer to him our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to him for this is your spiritual act of worship. God, by his mercy in our lives, calls us to present our bodies. I'm not an animal. Us, everything we are, and everything we have. And there's no nothing more costly than this to us. Our cells on the altar as a living, sacrifice, and yet aren't we prone to only offer to God that which is convenient for us to offer to God, that which is not costly to us. We are all tempted every day and especially when we think about cultural Christianity to offer God that which is comfortable for us, church attendance, maybe reading the Bible some prey give some money and make some sacrifices in our lives small here or there. But what has God called us to give him and worship everything, everything we have, everything we are, our whole heart, our whole mind, our whole soul, our whole body, a living sacrifice before him. So we pray God, help us to give to you that which is pleasing before you. Our entire lives are whole heart our whole minor whole solar whole body and worship to you. God, please keep us from convenient, compartmentalization in our lives, where we offer you this over here, but not that over there. God may we not to use language from the old hem, not surrender. May we not surrender some. I surrender some to you know, God, may we surrender all to you. All of our possessions, all of our plans, all of our preferences all of our dreams, all of our desires, our thoughts, everything, everything, we pray that you would take it all and lead us to steward it all for your glory. That you would be pleased to God with the sacrifice of our lives before you. And you would spend our lives for the spread of your glory. Among the nation's your great king, the lord of hosts, and your name will be feared among the nations. So God may it be clear in our lives that we fear your name, and may we live for the fear of your name among all the nations, God we pray for the bunting people of Indonesia or 3 million of them, farmers, merchants, and Indonesia, living, mainly in the island of Java, God we pray for the spread of the gospel to the bonton people that they might know you are the great king, whose name is worthy of worship among all the nations, that they might experience the joy of being a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to you. Oh God, even as we pray that for them, we say to you, we are so thankful that our lives are on the altar before you, you're worthy of our trust, you're worthy of every facet of our lives. You're worthy of our whole hearts. You are a great king,.

"You know, that reminds me of something we've mentioned multiple times, we refer to the scriptures as the living word of God. And part of that, of course, comes from our understanding that we still receive revelation through living prophets and apostles. We don't have a closed or a dead canon. We have an open canon. But I think it also connects to the reality that when we come to the scriptures with this open mind and heart and soul. That they become alive in that God can speak to us in the very moment that we're reading using the text of the scriptures. This isn't the same thing as us reading something and then trying to figure out how it applies today. This is us coming to the scriptures with questions, not just of the mind, but of the heart and of the hand and of the soul. And then the lord answering those questions through the text that we're reading. It's a really remarkable experience. And I think all of that is geared towards and this is my maybe final message that I have really enjoyed understanding and hopefully sharing. I think all of that is geared towards the lord's desire to help us become. More like him. This is malachi chapter three. It's always been one of my favorite passages in the entire Old Testament. He says, well, just to back up a bit, remember that message B that malachi shares is that the offering that's being given is polluted or broken. They're lax in their offering. And so he says, in verse one that we've already read that the messenger of the covenant will come and then asks in verse two, who may abide the day of his coming and who shall stand when he appears? For he is like a refiners fire and like fuller's soap. Now fuller soap they used to clean cloth and to make it white. And we understand that image that the lord can cleanse us of sins and iniquities, but that second image of being a refiners fire is different. It's not the same thing. It's one thing to be cleansed. That's another thing to be refined or sanctified. And he explains in verse three. He shall sit as a refinery and purifier of silver. He shall purge the sons of Levi and purge them as gold and silver that they may offer under the lord and offering in righteousness. Notice he's not purging the offering. He's purging the offerer. He is sanctifying or making sacred or holy, the person giving the offering. I remember reading a story years ago about
The Scripture Study Project
"malachi" Discussed on The Scripture Study Project
"The past couple of years and as we conclude here, it's the reiteration of that point at the very end of malachi, the well-known promise that malachi will come and turn the heart of the fathers to the children in the heart of the children to their fathers. One of the things that we, I think, came across not when we first conceptualized the podcast, but as we began studying, we became very aware that in order to have a meaningful and powerful scripture study, we had to transcend a mere mental exercise. We sensed when we first began, and now they're even more so. Resources available to us that will point out patterns and histories and insights in the scriptures that are fascinating. And we all love those. We love when we can highlight something or put a cool cross reference or a footnote or a quote. We love the contextual perspectives and the bit of history that adds some light and understanding to the scriptures. So there's nothing wrong with that, but we sensed that there's more in the scriptures than just something that inspires our mind. And so we began exploring, what does it look like to study the scriptures, not just in search of what we can learn, but in search of what the lord wants us to feel to turn our hearts to him or to others. What the lord wants us to do, and maybe even what his lord wants us to become. And that really opened up our scripture study as we began looking for not just cool insights, but things that made us feel truth or motivation, things that guided our actions and answered real life questions and then insights or doctrines or principles that outlined for us who we want to become. And so for me, that's been one of the big, maybe takeaways for me that this experience has changed in me as it has completely changed the way that I study scripture.
The Scripture Study Project
"malachi" Discussed on The Scripture Study Project
"Not only is it the center, but the word messenger, you want a fancy phrase is an onomastic pun, meaning, the name malachi means messenger, malachi and Hebrew means messenger. So malachi, the prophet is being used to highlight the central point that there will be a messenger who will come and prepare the way before the lord, which we know to be John the Baptist. And then the lord himself will come and be the messenger of the covenant, and will fulfill the covenant so that man and God can be tied together eternally. So that's the central message of malachi. And I think a great frame for your own study. A lot of good questions that you can ask as you study. But I'm not going to, we're not going to give you a question. And we're not going to dive anymore into the study. In fact, we're going to do something completely selfish in this episode. This is our final episode of the season. And it's our final episode of the come follow me week by week study of the scriptures. And so with that kind of final episode feeling, what we wanted to do is review the message that we have hoped to share throughout our podcast. And lessons we've learned as we've studied and tried to share our study with you and been able to benefit from your study shared with us. Well, one thing I've learned, and this is maybe a less serious one. I'll get to my real one in just a minute, but having Zach is a co host is a great thing because he told me he just was going to say like a couple a couple lines. We've become very scriptless with this. We were actually speaking of 5 years ago when we started, we were looking back at some of our beginning episodes and we had a very scripted out and now we it color coded text at the beginning. And now we don't. But Zack says I was like, well, I've got a little thing I can say at the beginning and he's definitely carried us through the Old Testament and I'll get more, I'll give a little more detail on that later. But first, I just wanted to share Zach read this verse or alluded to this that it's kind of the beginning and end message of the book of malachi. And it was the first thing I highlighted in part because it was first two. But the idea of the lord saying that I have loved you. And I think as we look back on the messages of the Old Testament, the messages of the scriptures is that this that God is there.

"malachi" Discussed on The Scripture Study Project
"How we handled this appointment. And what malachi is answer is to that. And so to give just a brief overview, we want to do something unique with this episode, but we want to also be helpful for your study this week. Malachi is structured in a chiastic fashion. If you're familiar with chiasm, that's the Hebrew writing form where you take something and you mirror it in the text. So you take a point of point a and it shows up at the beginning of your text and then it also shows up at the end of your text. Then your second point point B shows up after point a and then right before the reemphasized or the reiterated point a at the end. And you build up until you meet in the middle, you have point a mirrored by point a at the end, point B mirrored by point B right before the endpoint C mirrored by point C right before point B until you get to the center of the piece, which is the most important point. And so you have this building anticipation for the climactic message and then the reiteration of the message is leading up to it. And so malachi follows that format, which I find fascinating and I think gives a great insight into our study. So I want to give just an outline of that to point at what the key message of malachi is. So malachi's first point that he makes is right at the beginning in verse two, where he expresses the word of the lord, saying to Israel, I have loved you, saith the lord. At the very end of malachi, he reiterates that message and talks about hearts. That's the verse that talks about the heart of the father's turn to their children and the heart of the children turn to the father. So love is this first point and the last point.

"Malachi's name means messenger. And a prophesied of other messengers who would come. Of course, John the Baptist stands out as one primary fulfiller of this prophecy. But all of us, in some small way, can be messengers who prepare the way of the lord. In this episode, our final this season and our final weekly episode of our podcast. We reflect on 5 years of podcasting, and the messages we have learned, loved, and hope to share with you. Welcome to the scripture study project. We are your hosts, Krista and Zach Horton, and this is our podcast where we study scripture with you. Our goal each week is to help you discover new or renewed excitement for God and his word, invest your heart and personal life into your study and connect with others as you teach and learn together. Friends welcome to this week's episode. We are delighted to be here. Not only excited we're delighted. It is our last episode of the year of the Old Testament, can you believe that we made it, we are studying in malachi today. And we're just grateful we made it this far. How are you feeling? I wonder out there. I think we need a collective church wide pat on the back for making it through the entire testament. I don't know if we've ever in fact I'm confident we as a church have never had this prolonged and in depth unified focus on the Old Testament ever. We've studied it on Sunday school or seminary, but to do it like this is probably never been done by maybe any Christian church, meaning a church wide weak pie week focus. That's an impressive achievement. And especially in all age groups because we're from primary clear up to Sunday school for adults and I know Zach, you mentioned this a few weeks ago, but a conversation that you had with someone of another faith who you told about the study and they were shocked to hear that we had studied it in this fashion, but also probably maybe a little impressed like, oh, they study the Old Testament too. It's not just the book of Mormon which sometimes people can think about. So anyway, I think that there's reasons to rejoice this Christmas season, not only for the holidays and for Christ's birth, but we did it, and we're just glad to be here. We say that a lot. You know, as we talk about this episode, this is our last episode, and we'll talk about more about that later, but we say a lot in our episodes how excited we are to be here and this week is no different. So that's why I said delighted.

"The final thing that I would say, boy, at age 11, kind of just a really good kind of go to reference and go to book. For anybody of any age, is kind of the timeless work of our founding fathers, anything that they wrote from the federalist papers or their private journals are just great to go to. But I gave you enough references. So dive into those, be a lifelong learner, and find out here's something I wish someone would have told me at 11. Find out the best way you learn. If you read books best, do that. If you listen to audiobooks, do that if you're a visual person, do that. And I wish someone would have told me that earlier, because I'm the best at listening. I listen to books all the time. Some people aren't that way. I'm an okay reader. I just love consuming information audibly. I just remember it better. God bless you, malachi. Thanks for being here.

Jenna Ellis Shares One of Her Favorite Eric Stories
"Jenna Ellis welcome to the Eric metaxas show and thanks for being my guest today. So great to join you Alban. And you know it's so much fun about this is that Eric isn't here, so we can talk about him. And I think that, you know, that would be just an entirely fun hour to just talk about everything Eric. And I am actually in the Italian Riviera, but the Disney World version of that. And I have to tell you one of my favorite stories about Eric really quick because oh yeah, totally. Ish. Yeah, so we were at a conference in Orlando last year and maybe it was earlier this year. I don't even remember. You know, the time this year is flown by so fast. But we were at a conference speaking together in Orlando. We were meeting some of our good friends from Liberty University, shout out to Brian health and vine. Malachi and some of the guys. And so I'm going out to meet them. And of course we're going to Disney springs to get food because that's like one of the best places in Orlando. So Eric is texting me like, hey, what are you guys doing? We want to get food and I was like, yeah, come downstairs, maybe just in the lobby. He had no idea where we were going. So he comes down to the lobby thinking we're just all like hanging out at the hotel. And I'm like, get in the Uber and he's like, where are we going? So I'm trying to describe to him the amazing magical experience that is Disney springs in this Uber on the way. And he tells this story now where he's like, we went on this death march. It was like 5 miles into the wilderness of this mall. And he just goes on and he's a much better storyteller than me. But the bottom line is I took Eric metaxas to Disney springs. We had a very happy magical time. Did not get a picture with Mickey ears, but that's my goal for next time. And that was one of my favorite stories from America because he talks about hiking through Disney springs with me having no idea where he's going. We had a

Pointless Miracles with Michael Zwaagstra
"Today we have returning guests michael's wag stra author of the naked man flees. Welcome back to the show. Michael well thank you very much. It's a pleasure to be back with you. And i'm looking forward to part two of our discussion. Not many make it to the part to man. I thank you for coming back. I appreciate it. Oh you're welcome that's I think it's good to have the types of discussions and to W- there's far too many people whatever side of the issue you're on it's so easy to stay within her own little bubbles and where it's safe and we just affirmed by people all the time we all spend more time talking to people who have different opinions and challenge ourselves absolutely totally agree. And that's why we're here today so last time we left off. Oh actually this time. We're gonna talk about a little bit more about your book. Chapter twenty four twenty five and forty. But before we get there. We left off with gideon. And i kind of wanted to touch base with that story for a minute. That's okay not a problem. So gideon tested yala with the fleece on the ground to see if it was to be wet and whatnot. Malachi tested y'all way as well romans twelve to y'all we want you to test him but that kind of contradicts matthew. Four seven deuteronomy six sixteen. Which tells you do not test do not put the lord god to the test. I see this as a contradiction. How do you see this. Well i i would see it differently. And i think it's important for us to talk about getting. We need to put his story in context and historic can be found in judges chapter six in. It actually goes on for several chapters The israelites in this case are oppressed by million. And god has directly called gideon to lead the israelites out of oppression to lead to leave to victory. god has guaranteed victory to get in. He does so explicitly early on in chapter six

"Obviously long-term. You could convince me that he is dead. The guy with the most upside on their roster. I still think I would say their best Prospect in terms of what the NBA is looking for is Davion Mitchell though yet to a guy Defender way. I can kind of plug it right away. We talked about his transfer to it. Just a quick thing on the age thing too. I thought it was interesting this weekend that it was outraged another night. They did senior night at home state and they honored Cade Cunningham, which I thought was was great because we all know he's not going back to school, right and also Mitch Lightfoot who's going back to school again and I started great tweet from heat check back to Lightfoot is older than the following players Brandon Ingram bam.

"In like that middle of the second round area as opposed to someone that is like coming way off the radar and I have a couple of names that could come like way off the radar. So yep. Next guy want to bring up there and Henry Aaron Henry has been just monstrously good up until that Maryland game in recent weeks. So prior to the Long Island game over the weekend over his previous eight games, Aaron Henry had averaged 19 points five rebounds four assists with only two turnovers over steel almost a block and a half per game while shooting 45% for three but more than that. He was playing like super attack oriented basketball and was really driving Michigan State's offense during this stretch where I mean at one point, they won five of seven games while playing in the Big Ten including wins over Indiana, Illinois and Ohio State three of the team's home, you know with Indiana. They were competing against Indiana to be on the bubble and Illinois and Ohio State we think are going to be top two seeds. So really really impressive stretch from birth. In Henry because of that attack mode that he's been in if he can lead Michigan State here from the depths of almost being off of the Bubble at one point right like oh, yeah, when they lost the Iowa at the beginning of February, I mean, this is a team whose best win. I mean, what was it Duke at that point? Yeah, probably I mean their loss in a row and he I don't know if it was a time that he did it but when coaches was trying to shake step up like he was benched like he came off the bench to kind of have a wake-up call and and he said In Articles am kind of had their back and forth last year. That was I don't know how to put this but it was discussed heavily on on Sports Media Sports Radio and and he said he liked being coach hard. He's taken to it. He's not great defensively against just moved from Illinois. And and if you piece together three wins, obviously, he's argued a catalyst for it and the Maryland game was surprising because it was like, okay you're you're dead. Doing all this good momentum as a team as a prospect any kind of lay an egg a little bit. It always comes back to the jump shot for me. I mean to to be shooting twenty-seven twenty-eight percent at six-foot-six like that that's got to go up in order for him to to jump and and I think I had him late first the first mock draft we did or like 30th. I've seen him as low as like the month the second round where he Nets out could be dependent on kind of how Michigan State ends this year tail. Yeah, totally agree. I think he's an awesome Defender, by the way. I just want to be clear about that. I think he is fucking phenomenal Defender and it's weird to me that in that vein multiple times over the course of his career like is though is like hard on him and it's always struck me as like a very loving relationship which is why I like the stuff last year. I was kind of I don't want to say turned off by but I I was just like home Let's maybe learn a little bit more about the relationship there. Like what is his trying to get out of him? Like hey, maybe maybe don't do it as oh did it right in the middle of a game?.

"To be a positive Defender. He could be a positive Defender. He's still learning where he needs to be off ball. He's still learning where to play Gap defense. He's he's still learning all of those things. But I think there's a world where as they attack can be a positive floor spacing big who is a mobile Defender. Would you agree with that? Yes and shooting forty percent for the field and mostly pull up jumpers and mid-range jumpers and fadeaways and one foot fadeaways and I'm I'm so glad that you brought those up. We gotta give him credit to hit a game-winner. I mean, I think it went off the glass but it was still a game-winner. So he has played better and we talked about it and I think he was kind of like top one hundred ish range and now he's creeping up your board some so he hasn't been we are probably far too critical early on him. He told more glimpses more flashes of like, okay. This guy is a former five-star recruit out of high school. This guy was considered to be a better Prospect and that's why he was recruited selected by the street legal wage. Program specifically because they thought he could fit and and when he looks good and he's hitting shots and he's switching and he's rebounding a little bit. You see it more. I don't think it's really there all the time because they'll have a great game and then right after it's it's like four points on 248, but he's done enough stuff where it warrants us being more positive. Yeah. Yeah and look like I have missed off 70 guide now like I did not have that previously. He's like pretty close to like sixties right now. There's a world where he ends up in my top 60 and I did not think that would happen now, why is he not higher because he takes a ton of these bulshit pull up jumpers that I'm saying is a positive and you're like no that's wrong. Yeah. No, they're they're bad shots. Like they're really bad shots and then on top of it, he's terrible finisher with a grim. Yes, like really really bad. So so far he's made 35% of his shots at the basket and half-court settings. That's one of the worst numbers in the G league so far. He's also not dead. Answer like me making that joke on Twitter..

"They put around him too and him being a smart enough to take was being at Old adjust and then apply it to the next game. Yeah. Well Jalen green is like still a hundred and eighty pounds, right? He's nineteen years old. He just turned nineteen. I believe while the bubbles happening here like right before the bubble happened, right? Cuz his birthday is sometime in February and it's hard to be a hundred and eighty pounds and play in a league the level of dog. G League, it's hard to be that size and finish. Honestly, like as relatively effectively is he has right? He's not like some crazy finisher. He's not in a wage level score at The Rim but he's a good score at The Rim and he gets a lot of baskets out in transition. He's knocked down shots at a high level. He's hitting 38% from 3. A lot of those end up being pull-ups. A lot of those are created three point shots. I've been impressed like the guy that I've compared Jalen green to throughout. This process is Zach LaVine. I think honestly, he probably has a little bit more upside than Zach LaVine wage just impresses. Yeah given the exact is now in all star and his morphed into what he has. I think that they're like slightly different like I think that Jalen is in probably always has been a sneak along better passer than what Zach has been throughout the course of his career, but I think that's the kind of player that you're expecting to get here. You can get a number one option on offense who I think is dead. Jalen green is going to average, you know, well over 20 points per game in the NBA pretty easily. Yeah, and the Lovin thing is heavy Praises as we found out last week with that video that he's an All-Star and he's averaging twenty nine points per game. I don't think necessarily as high on Jalen as you are. I still really like them and I've kind of struggled more with the kaminga shooting translation when Jaylen it's off. Okay, like now he's he's really creating within the flow of the offense. He's understanding the more nuanced things of coming off a ball-screen maybe Inside Out trouble one step back and pulling up am not okay. I'm going to take a dribble here. Pull it back out reset go one-on-one and see what happens. It's more of a an NBA Style attack. Yeah, there's there's patience there. There's wage is now like early on there were a few moments where he would just take shots like out of the rhythm of offense, right? And that happened and that's okay now off. She seems to have a better understanding of what a good shot is..
Chad Ford's NBA Big Board
NBA Mock Draft 3.0
"And we are back talking two thousand twenty mock draft three point o our last mock draft of the year. It's draft day draft morning. What better to unwrap and a mock draft on draft morning. it's the second round. Now now's the time to confess. I'm really terrible at projecting second rounds like you know my hit rate and some drafts has been like one two three picks in the second round. It's it's so hard to keep track of the first round the wheels to sort of come off and these picks happened like every two minutes. I it's hard to really keep track. I did my best. I project where. I think particular players can go. You definitely don't really get deep into this when you're talking the nba scouts in executives about what they're going to do in the second round. They're still trying to figure out the first round as well. So i've tried to find some fits there so this is reported more chad ford speculation. Here about what's happening. The second round starts with the dallas mavericks this pick via the warriors taking malachi. Flynn the san diego state. Junior point guard One of the guys that frankly could go ten spots higher in the draft. I actually really love malachi flynn. There's kind of a lot of point guards kind of later in the first round which may push him out a little bit. But i actually think he's the guy who could step in play right away. I would actually love him in dallas. I think that'd be great. Pick for dallas at thirty one at thirty two. The charlotte hornets are on the board. They're getting this pick via the cavs. Paul read the sophomore forward center out of depaul. Have them going thirty two. This is john. Hollinger's been super high on all year. I think he's another guy who can guard positions on the floor. I really like him. Actually think he brings some stuff offensively as well. I personally like him. Better than precious. I'm right now. Could turn out to be a terrible take. But it's kind of what i think and i definitely think he could be an excellent fit. I'm in charlotte. Especially if they end up with lamelo ball and they're gonna need to add a defensive big man. As part of that package at thirty-three the minnesota timberwolves around the board. This'll be the third pick because they have to. First round picks. Tillman the junior power forward at michigan state. Everybody loves this kid. He's he's one of these guys like high floor. Low ceiling. just does his work every day. Great rebound or plays hard. I'm ken defend going. Bring be a great locker room guy is gonna find some rotation that somewhere I like him in minnesota on a team. That is trying to go forward. I think he actually adds a bit of a veteran presence to the locker room. At thirty four the philadelphia seventy sixers are on the clock. That get this. Pick via the hawks. Isaiah joe the arkansas shooting guard who is one of the best shooters in this draft. Crazy range. High volume of three point shots philadelphia. Always in need shooters. When you're going to be playing. Ben simmons on this team he certainly constructs the floor. And i'd like isaiah joe there them at thirty five the sacramento kings Via the pistons. Dan dotson to kansas sophomore guard. Who is one of the quickest players in the draft. He's an elite score excels off the getting to the basket not a great shooter a bit undersized for his position not really a point guard that's why he slides a few spots higher but could be instant offense off the bench for sacrimento at thirty five at thirty six the philadelphia seventy sixers back on the clock this time via that pick from the mix jordan aura the louisville junior who also is one of the better shooters in this draft. He has good size vers position. Good length i'm not sure exactly what else he brings to the table besides shooting but again i'm just loading philly up i with shooters at the moment at thirty seven. The washington wizards are on the board. They get this pick via the chicago. Bulls tyler bay the junior ford out of colorado who is one of the best athletes in the strath super explosive. Really hard worker on the defensive end still just kinda coming along on the offensive. And then i think that's been a concern. He's he's one of those guys that might be a little bit of a twitter. Not sure exactly what position he plays in the pros that causes him to slide. A few picks in this draft think this is still really value. and by the way when. We're talking about a lot of these guys dotson. Tillman for example malachi flan. These guys could all end up in the first round as well. Just have them the second thirty eight new york knicks via the hornets janis ramsey. The texas tech freshman guard again volume score can shoot it a little bit We're just loading the knicks up now with backward guys that can score the basketball. I'm not sure who's going to defend in new york. But he's an intriguing prospect. He's only nineteen years old. And i certainly there's upside there with the thirtieth pick in the draft at thirty nine the new orleans. Pelicans selecting this pick for the wizards. Daniela touro the minnesota sophomore center. Who had a really really strong summer season one of the more improved players in the country very skilled at big man. I'm great size. Adding just bore skill in size to this pelicans roster i'm at the moment If you remember earlier jalen smith. I'm selected at thirteen at forty. The grizzlies are on the board. This pick via the silence. This is the first pick that the grizzlies have been able to make in the twenty twenty. Nba draft a doco as a bouquet. The kansas center. Big guy seven. Seven wingspan seven footer. Really good athlete actually just dominant player in the pain. Terrible free throw. Shooter doesn't really do anything facing the basket. But when you have that size and length and athleticism. I think you get something done in. The and kind of reminds me deondraye jordan. A little bit and a little bit surprised. He doesn't go higher. I get there seems to be a penalty on the big minner plane or pain. Right now in the draft at forty one san antonio spurs back on the on the board yama dr the israeli guard nineteen year old for hop. Well tel-aviv and you know. He's such an intriguing prospect because he plays his butt off. His incredible energy is just making a difference when he's out there but he's not really a point guard. He's kind of more of a two guard in a point guards body. He's not like a great shooter. I'm athletically he's actually not bad at all but that lack of a jump shot kinda undersized i position that makes him more of a second round prospect at he absolutely wants to leave israel and come to the nba. And if it's the g. league next year and so he could be an interesting prospect for san antonio developed down the road

Balata gave birth to four other dogs with white for the same color is hers. Splotchy a is mixed breed. But that does not explain why one of the pumps came out with green fur. But Reuters reports the dog would not always be green, saying the color will continually fade as the puppy grows and gets older.
