Stamp Collecting (MM #4638)
"Day, The other the U .S. Postal Service announced the new stamps that were coming out, the new designs that were coming out for 2024. And it took me back to a day when, gosh, I was probably what, 12, 13 years old, I collected stamps. And I got into it pretty heavily for a brief time, but I thought, does anybody collect stamps anymore? There used to be stamp collector shops in malls, just like coin collector shops. You don't see those anymore. I don't even know if it's a thing anymore. Since the Forever stamp came out, stamps, there aren't as many of them. Prices, while they do raise, they don't look any different. The Forever stamp doesn't have a price on it, so the same stamp no matter what the price is. That was the one thing about stamps. You could have a six cent stamp, or an eight cent, or a 10 cent, or 25, or whatever we're up to now. 50, 60, I don't even know what we're paying anymore. I got my Forever stamp sitting here, and I only use one or two a month. I don't mail anything anymore. But it's interesting, a hobby that was so big and so popular for so many years. I had so many people giving me stamps and helping me out, and stamps from all around the world. It's kind of sad to me, something that was so cool and so interesting, thanks to the world we live in, isn't quite as cool as it used to be.

"24 7 at EasyCater .com. I was running until I wasn't. My hospital stay would have nearly cost $48 ,000 even with insurance. But with VA, I'll pay zero. And VA is the best, most affordable healthcare in America for veterans like me. Knowing that my family is waiting at home and a surprise medical bill isn't, that's good for my heart. My service was then. benefits My are now. Get what you earned. Visit choose .va .gov. Not all veterans are eligible for this amount hyper of benefits mentioned here. It's 538. Traffic and weather on the 8th. And when it breaks, Dave Dildine is in the WTOP Traffic Center. Southbound from Baltimore through Howard County on I 95, there is a crash near 175, one vehicle flipping over and going off in the brush off the left side of the main line. The fire rescue squad blocking at least the left lane, if not a couple of left lanes, southbound on 95 just before the first ramp for I -95, Columbia. On Route 50, westbound, slow now off the Severin River Bridge and past Rowell Boulevard. Ahead, the response to the crash blocking the right lanes. You're getting by in one or two left lanes into Annapolis. Westbound on Route 50, eastbound, no impact, no delays toward the Bay Bridge. 301 southbound, slow through Bowie, still picking up the work zone near Central Avenue and still only one lane getting by. 270 northbound, slowest traffic is definitely from Rockville to Gaithersburg but with nothing blocking the way. On Beltway the through Maryland and Virginia, no big crashes. Interloop near Greenbelt Station, that one's on the left shoulder. Slow on the interloop coming across the Legion Bridge and through Silver Spring in Virginia on the outer loop leaving Tysons and leaving Alexandria for about a mile or two of sluggish traffic in the local and through lanes leading down Woodrow to the Wilson Bridge. 395 southbound, volume delays through Southwest, South Arlington near Seminary. 95 southbound, slow stretch of traffic between Lorton and Woodbridge. 66 westbound, Vienna heavy near and Oakton. Brief delays westbound through Centerville. Might be planning to see family this holiday or just relax at home but nobody plans to get sick. Take steps now to get this year's COVID -19 and flu vaccines from the Virginia Department of Health. I'm Dave Doldine, WTOP traffic. Let's go to Steve Rudin in the 7News First Alert Weather Center.

Endless Shrimp (MM #4637)
"The Minute Mason with Kevin Mason. Since COVID, many restaurants have struggled to get back to the profit levels they once had. So they're trying everything they can to get people to come back in and go back to restaurants. But the economy has been shaky for some, and some are just holding back and not spending the money they were. So they're looking for value. Red Lobster answered that with their endless shrimp promotion, bringing it back this summer and keeping it on the menu. In fact, I went to Red Lobster for the first time in forever back in August. I wasn't the only one who went to Red Lobster and had shrimp. In fact, they had a bad quarter, not because they didn't sell enough. They sold too much. They basically brought the endless shrimp back at $20 as a loss leader, and they lost money. So they've had to raise the price. It went from $20 to $22, now to $25. The good news? It brought people in. The bad news? A lot of people ate shrimp. Red Lobster is learning a valuable lesson. It's good to have something that people want, but you've got to make sure you price it properly. But it got people back in the door, and that's what they're hoping it will keep doing. In the meantime, it'll stay on the menu. You're just going to have to pay a little bit more for it. That's okay. It is pretty tasty.

The Mental Blocks (Particularly for Women) Around Self-Care
"I find a lot is that often people have a lot of blocks to having an active self -care strategy and again when i'm talking about self -care it's like intentional right it's having intentional actions and intentional practices that you engage in to promote your physical mental emotional and spiritual well -being and if you do that it's going to help you improve your health it's going to help you manage stress and just enhance your overall quality of life so it could be getting enough sleep right eating a balanced diet exercising regularly practicing mindfulness or meditation engaging hobbies seeking social support or taking time for rest and relaxation so this all sounds great so like why is it so hard for us to do it there's loads of blocks that can exist out there and i think a lot of them exist during this myth that self -care is selfish right that like we are selfish to put ourselves first that as women our role is to look after other people is to nurture other people and this is why it's important to come back to what i talked about at the start which is self -care will help you give the world the best of you rather than what's left of you and if you don't prioritize yourself on that list of who is important then essentially you're abandoning yourself you're sending yourself a message that you are not important and often when we think about wanting to give our best to the people around us the people that we love we're sending a message to them that we don't matter like if we constantly sacrifice our needs at their feet then that is what we're teaching whether it's future generations or our employers how to treat us because our actions in every bit of them is saying that we don't matter you know because i'll skip the gym to work later i'll forgo all of my hobbies to drive my children around to all six of theirs and while we think that that's a good thing because we're putting their needs first actually what you're showing them is that it is okay for you to not have any needs to not have any ones and that's definitely not the message that any of us want to be sending out to anybody it's really interesting i was at an event recently and it was a really mixed demographic in terms of age and i think this concept of self -care is even more difficult for certain generations of women again it's because they have literally grown up with the message that their needs come last and what they need is least important and if you even think about like the stereotype of Irish mammy that's exactly what it is right they fuss and fluster over everyone else without really thinking about themselves at all and when we start talking about self -care and investing time in ourselves and investing care in ourselves i understand why to women that must feel so incredibly self -indulgent because that is not the message that they grow up with

Self-Care: Giving the World the Best of You, Not the Rest of You
"Always like to start at the beginning which is to define what actually is self -care and I'm actually just back from a weekend away where I went over to Edinburgh and I think the analogy that they always do in every airplane safety demonstration is really apt when you come to self -care which is oxygen mask analogy. So when they're giving a safety demonstration they always talk about how if it was the case that cabin pressure was to fall that you should put on your oxygen mask first before you attempt to help people around you and it's a very good analogy I suppose for self -care that you want to be looking at like what you need to do to give you oxygen and then you look outwards to see who else can I support now that I've sort of made sure that I'm protected and I can continue and I think it's a really good analogy and it's like this kind of left of you and that's a really important distinction I've learned over the years as well you know when people say a glass is half full or a glass is half empty and often what we do with self -care is you know like maybe we get a facial or we get our nails done and like we're topping up this glass or jug of water right but like if you keep pouring out of the jug without replenishing then all you're really doing yes you might fill it up but all of a sudden a week or two later is back to like dangerously low levels again so often what you actually want to try do is have that jug overflowing right so you're always full but the excess runs off and that's what fills other people's cups and really what that's talking about is sort of making sure that like you yourself feeling are good you're full of energy you're full of the joys of life maybe you're full of gratitude and then you give your excess to other people so it's not like you fill up and then you give that away and you're constantly in this fill it back up phase which sort of has a lot of effort attached to it it's rather like can you get yourself to a good place where you actually nearly have like so much that it's overflowing and you can easily give that excess away because it's not it's not detrimental to you because you have enough to continue to fuel yourself as well i really like that analogy like just as much as the oxygen mask one and i think what that reminds me it's self -care is not like one and done right it's like something that you always are sort of making sure that you have time for yourself to do that because you don't want to be trying to fill other people's gases from an empty jug nor do i want to feel that i'm having to take away from myself to give to other people because that can put you on a path towards resentment as well so what actually is self -care about like bubble baths and facials and you know lighting a candle and i enjoy doing all of those things so there's nothing wrong with those things as well but they're very surface level self -care and there is kind of two layers of self -care one is the surface piece but one is much deeper as well and it gets related into understanding your needs and values and living a life aligned to them it's your time it's your boundaries it's maybe having an understanding of your priorities so it's also when we think about self -care is making sure that we were maybe hitting on items that are from both of those lists so the surface level is the sort of relax rejuvenation the rest pieces could be a nap in the afternoon or it could be like i said going to the spa it could be shopping if that's what you enjoy it could be getting a nice cup of coffee out and just being able to you know sit in the sunshine and drink it or sit by yourself and drink it and have nobody disturb you probably harder self -care pieces are the the deeper ones right so it's the boundaries so saying no to people saying no to maybe even spending time with people who drain your energy like that's self -care in itself or if that's not possible it's maybe distancing yourself a little bit from those people i think that's particularly apt coming up to christmas because we do find ourselves in situations where we're spending time with people that perhaps we don't at other times of the year and it can be a very difficult and draining time of year for people it can be things like hobbies i chatted to shaz about this back in season one it's sort of something that we've lost a little bit as our world has got like so convenient and so automated and we're so busy doing all of these other things but like having time to do something that you're passionate about or you're interested in or that engages your creativity and your curiosity is actually really really important because it's carving out time for yourself and often these hobbies can be incredibly self -soothing because you don't think about other things that are going on in your life you're just thinking about not dropping a stitch or you last week and she was talking about how when she hunt horse riding she was literally you know you have to have full concentration because you didn't want to fall off the horse and hurt yourself so hobbies can actually be a really important part of our self -care routines as well

"I've been following a story on the internet, and I believe it actually started as a TikTok, where waitstaffer servers judge people over things when they come into a restaurant, and they're talking about the things that they kind of judge people over. Whiny customers, customers who come in the last 10 minutes before the restaurant's about to close. But the number one beef is when customers sit side by side in the booth, when somebody on a date or a couple comes in and sits side by side. I have to admit that's one of my, I wouldn't call it pet peeves, but it's something that annoys me. Number one, I just think it's silly. It's almost juvenile. It's like something you do in high school with your first girlfriend or boyfriend. But more importantly to me, when you're sitting side by side in a booth or at a table, you can't look directly at the other person. I always choose to sit either across from my wife or at a table. Usually we're at a 45 degree angle, but I've often found it strange when people want to sit side by side in a restaurant in a booth. Not something I ever did with all the girls I dated throughout the years, and it's something I've never done with my wife, and I find it amusing that servers and waitstaff hate it just as much as I do.

Elevation with Steven Furtick
"one o" 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. Anyway, that's not the point. I'm going to do my sermon illustration like it's Jeopardy, and not to put you on the spot, but just to kind of get into the subject for today. 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. Put it online if you do know it, though.

"Mister Nash is in COVID protocols as we tape this. This will publish on Friday, but it's Tuesday, I'll let the listeners know as we're recording this, you're going to protocols last night. 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..

What he's been able to accomplish and now what he's doing after his career with TV and obviously part owner now of the jazz and so he's doing big things and I'm happy for him. And he grudges from your MBA career. Anybody who wrote into you to be like not turn around walking the other way or you know me, I'm super easygoing. There is a few guys that are a little sensitive. They thought that I got them traded. Which of course is not really the case. It's a fine line of being a franchise player and sometimes being involved on the business side or knowing about trade rumors and stuff like that. But other than that, I don't have any grudges against our teammates or exponents, not at all. I usually got to I got to the gym. I try to help my team win and I was all about business and then I went home to my family or do my own thing. So I was I was never really getting too involved with opponents.

And it wasn't just the ceremony. There were some time where you guys were, I think, gathered up for some photo opportunities and everything else. I think the Cavs practice court. What was that like were there guys that you set out? Did you when you arrived the weekend? Were there guys that you're like, I need to meet this guy, 'cause I had met him before or just people you wanted to rub elbows with for the first time. Tell me, who were the big ones for you? Well, I got to say that was the most special moment of that weekend. I was a little late. And then I came in on the cast practice and I walked in and almost everybody was there already. And just seeing everybody and that was, I think, the most special moment for me just the wow effect, like I'm a part of this group right here. Look around, this is fantastic. So I think that was the most special moment of the whole weekend walking on the cast practice facility that was unbelievable. Really shared some great lasso with everybody to talk to schacht, doctor Charles Barkley, of course, who I love. Got to meet bob Pettit for the first time. That was super cool. Talk to Kareem a little bit of had a photo shoot for the whole 75 thing a few months earlier and there was not one guy talked to Kevin McHale a bunch and the admiral, of course, big fan. So I don't know. It was just super cool to be in that room and being part of the crew. And I missed a couple. I wish timid Duncan was there, you know, Carl Malone or my boy Steve Nash, I missed a couple of the guys that are shared with some great battles with, but it's still amazing the guys that guys that were there..

"That's how good he writes it. And so I don't know. It was just I was emotional. It was I just had retired and it just hit the spot. So I was actually on a plane going somewhere. And I had some tears coming in in my eyes. That was for me the most emotional part reading some of the fan reactions and just my last game and that whole the whole spectacle of I'll never forget. So that would actually, for me, that was way more emotional than any other parts of my family story or winning the championship and all that. I think the last game, the last home game, the ceremony they put on for me, that was unbelievable. You were always great with the media during your career. But it was probably a certain there were lines obviously. You weren't giving everything away. And so there's a lot in this book. It seems like where you were ready to open up more about life and process and everything along the way. Do you think it was that he hit you with the right time to be a little bit more forthcoming, or maybe also knowing, did you know when you guys first started on this? Because he worked on this for like 7 years. Did you know like, okay, by the time this comes out, I'll probably I'll be retired. So it won't, I don't have to worry about saying things now that might ruffle feathers in the present while I'm still playing. Were you more open because of the time and also you've also had the championship in hand at that point? I think all of that plays a factor, I think I was not great at the media when I first started. I think I was shy. It was in my language. I didn't want to say the wrong thing so then I kept my answers really short. Most of the time, I didn't even want to do interviews..

"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.

"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..

"He you know he gets the a lot of the speechifying in this episode but but anthony mackie. I think more than handled that and did a great job with that material. I feel that he will be able to carry the next phase of the mcu. I'm going to go as far as saying. He's an ex captain america and i'd feel that he will be able to to carry it on this. What it takes is a situation where the psychic has. Now become the main hero. And i think anthony mackie's up for the job. So so what would it be very fun to see where he goes from here right. At least i think so. All right so trivia just got a couple of things. So if you're wondering. We're seeing. Wilson became captain america in the comics. Because this did happen to the comics for those who don't know he became captain america in captain america volume seven number. Twenty five which. I happen to have right here in my hot little heads for those of you out there podcast lane. Who can't see. And this one. During captain america's battle with the called the iron nail the super soldier serum within steve rogers body was neutralized which caused him to age rapidly. Matches chronological age of over ninety following an attack on new york from arms zola. Another captain america. Bad guy. Steve decided to appoint sam wilson as his successor. And sam served as captain america in the avengers. He was leading the avengers there for a while until the secret empire event where steve rogers youth was restored and he reclaimed the mantle of captain america yup and which he does still have today so so essentially it was a very temporary situation but But sam did make a very notable captain american again for those who can't see out their podcast late. I have a couple of comics right The all new captain. America comics series. That he headlined it. Also captain. America said wilson number. One is abso showed up at spiff cost you which i was very thankfully surprised. The tv series was extremely faithful toward. I was very happy to because i was thinking to myself on paper. It looks amazing. Look cheesy onscreen and it did not and the that so well and hey i guess the folks who have quite the sense of style because they did a great job. Well if you ever saw still surprised that you have a sense of style yes except overtime that one. I'm just saying i think so too. I mean what she did for her brother when the black panther suits than i think she probably had fun with this because it was more colorful wasn't just black and white or black and silver and here. It was like a little bit more colorful fish but we have fun. I get to do something a little bit. More than just monochrome question. How is did she give. Sneakers could be for sneaking.

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.

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..
