Starting point is 00:00:00 If you want to feel more connected to humanity and a little less alone, listen to Beautiful Anonymous. Each week, I take a phone call from one random anonymous human being. There's over 400 episodes in our back catalog. You get to feel connected to all these different people, all over the world. Recent episodes include one where a lady survived a murder attempt by her own son. But then the week before that, we just talked about Star Trek. It can be anything.
Starting point is 00:00:24 It's unpredictable. It's raw. It's real. Get Beautiful Anonymous wherever you listen to podcasts. You just gotta shave your ears. I just wanted to rip them out. What shaved your ears? I had a little hair in there, so I just plucked them out.
Starting point is 00:00:40 He said he has to shave the ears. I've never heard anyone say this. You plucked or shaved it? I just plucked them out. Okay. Yeah. I just wanted to the bathroom. I just ripped them right out. With your finger?
Starting point is 00:00:49 So I look good, bro. You promise? Yeah. He says, I'll show you. How are you going to show me? I have to look this way. Let me here. I got you. I know this is important. That's what fresh got? What's your eye like? Look at R. Okay

Starting point is 00:01:28 And you're like Yo, you gotta set me up for a second. Have you ever licked that lamp behind you? What are you talking about? That is a salt lamp. If you lick it, it's salty. Okay, go. No, like to lick it.
Starting point is 00:01:39 It's your salt lamp. Well, no, it's not my salt lamp. I hope this is how we're starting. Where's your hospitably? Yeah, that's good. Where's your hospitality? Thank you. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:01:49 We got this. This is the best start to a podcast ever. Ever. I mean, I don't know if I'll keep that in, but yeah. Do you rest your arm like this while you're podcasting? Can I be honest? When we have a guest a lot of the time, I catch myself and I'm like, oh, I have to relax right now.
Starting point is 00:02:00 That made me on college. Imagine how many of your guests were like. I'm honest. I'm open and honest. Imagine if you were shooting a purpose of a question in your life. So when did Jesus get you out of sobriety? Is that a new tattoo? Into sobriety.
Starting point is 00:02:15 The feather? With the heart? None of them are. Actually, I was thinking of getting them all removed. Why? Just because I was like, I don't know. Tattoo's not a sin. I just found out.
Starting point is 00:02:26 No. Just open up the floodgates right away. Yeah, we're good. debate. Not today. I don't think we're debating to say. Unless you want to. I would love to debate.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Okay. I'm just joking. Okay. Do you guys usually have it just cracked a little bit like that? Just a little bit. It makes your eyes look pretty. It makes you glow. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Thank you. I feel like I'm blowing right now. Oh, how thirsty are we? Okay. We're hospitable, remember? Yes. For our guest. We just want to make sure you have water.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Thank you. I appreciate it. So George just came from Equinole. He's wearing a lot of moisturizer. What kind of moisturizer? You got to do that? Is this a Carrie Underwood come back? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:05 I called her Carrie Underwood on the Avengers episode, and she got so mad at it. I had a bad blowout and he walks in. You know when you're already feeling insecure about something? He was said, what's up, Carrie Underwood? It's like, I thought you were good. I thought that was a compliment. Get out, George. And then he called my poor friend Amish.
Starting point is 00:03:22 He called me an Amish woman because I had a dress. So it's covered up. No, but you always look like you're ready to turn butter to. You do look like you're ready to turn butter. You look like it, Brad. Like, you look like you're typecasted. Even today a little bit with the sleeves. It's always ready.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Like a milk meat? Hello? I don't know. What is that? I confused them with Mormons. I don't know. You said I look like I'm ready to turn back. I don't know what's going on.
Starting point is 00:03:45 I realized like, wait, that's a whole different. Wait, what is that? I don't know what you're talking about. Those are Mormons. Okay. And action. Can we pray really quick? Do you guys really start?
Starting point is 00:03:56 Yeah, we do. We do. You should do. Yeah. You get hold hands? Yep. You want to. All right, Lord, we love you so much. God, come. We invite you, Holy Spirit, to come and just release wisdom, release anointing over this episode.
Starting point is 00:04:09 God, we bless George. We thank you for his life. We thank you for his influence. Just come Holy Spirit and let this truly be such a significant, profound episode that breaks chains, that brings people to Jesus. And that just really exalts and glorifies your name, Jesus. So we love you. Come, Holy Spirit, and release joy in Jesus' name.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Amen. Amen. What happens if you have a guest that doesn't feel comfortable doing that? I mean, it's a Bible podcast. Yeah, we have all Christians. Oh, I don't know. Fishers of men, you know, go out there and go grab them. That would be a, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:42 I prayed with the Bobby Lee once. That was cool. I saw that. I just saw him at the comedy store. You handled that so well. It's cool. It's a good moment. How was he?
Starting point is 00:04:50 He was really funny. He's so beautiful. I know. I like him a lot. The comedy store was a little horrifying, but. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's tough. Gosh, you know, I used to love comedy so much
Starting point is 00:05:00 and it is a tough, tough place to be just the jokes. It's so funny how often people talk about Jesus and their jokes. Why do they have to make... Because he's the most... Okay, so I was actually talking to Bell about this. Every time, if they make fun of them
Starting point is 00:05:14 or if they just bring them up, it's so cool to see it because I'm like, wow, he, regardless, you cannot deny his presence. He's the most famous man alive. I know. Like, they have to, even in their, like, uncomfortable, because you got to remember,
Starting point is 00:05:26 comedy to them is their therapy so people that don't know who God is they're working things out so if any way shape or form somebody brings up his name that's a bonus even if it's in a really gross dark atmosphere if it makes you feel uncomfortable something's cooking something's happening in there so it's cool
Starting point is 00:05:42 I like watching it honestly I love that so much what what are shut up why does that happen she doesn't know what to say I love that so much Don't even come at each other like that. Do you guys have any idea how fun it was editing your guys' episode when you guys are like this? Why?
Starting point is 00:06:03 Every, every time. Mm. Oh, no, it was bad. I'm so embarrassed. Yeah, I did. Me too. But am I a real one for letting you guys? No?
Starting point is 00:06:14 No, you're not. Wait, a real one for what? I was like, hey, guys, you know you guys say, mm a lot. Did you see that? Oh, yeah. Yeah, he did. That's why people make fun of us the most because we do that. I know, we've gotten so much better, though.
Starting point is 00:06:27 It's got to end. Hasn't gotten so much better? Mm-hmm. We still... You guys are so sassy, or you're feeling it? It's just like... Both. A little bit of both.
Starting point is 00:06:37 I like it. No, and I really do love that so much what you said. Okay, I really do love that so much. And I was going to transition into our opening. Do you mind? Praying again? Okay. No, we don't need to pray again.

Starting point is 00:16:00 Married life is good. We love your wife. She's the best. She's perfect. She really is. She's actually perfect. My mother wanted me to tell you, being so serious, that she called me to tell you, she called me to tell you that she's the best thing that ever happened to, and you are so lucky, exact words.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Christina said it. I believe it. Proverbs says that a good woman is like a crown on a king's head, and she is definitely that. You know it's so funny yesterday? We're sitting down and we're just eating pizza watching Big Bang Theory, and we just came off of a crazy trip. We went to Italy, went to Greece, then from there we went to Lake Como. Then we're gearing up for tour.
Starting point is 00:16:36 we had some great guests. And I turned to her and I go, dude, eating pizza on the couch with you is better than all of those things combined. So I told it, I said, it's very comforting knowing that I have the greatest gift already and everything else is a bonus. And I don't have to work like losing my mind over something that I already achieved. And it's like a good marriage there. That is really nice.
Starting point is 00:16:57 I love how much you guys love each other. And I just wanted to start off this episode with saying that, and I'm being genuinely serious. All jokes aside, I can't tell you how. often I see you guys on the internet, I see you, I see your clips, and like we're just, we might not live in the same place and we might not see each other all the time, but like we adore you guys, we love you. We truly are, like, you're a big, I'm such a big supporter of you guys from a distance. And every time I see you on the internet, I literally feel God's
Starting point is 00:17:27 delight for you guys. And I was going to voice mom of both of you and just be like, I want you to know, you guys, your humility, just like there's an innocence about you both. that is so special and, like, warms the heart of God. Thank you, man. And I really mean that. And, like, even since the last time I saw you, I can't tell you how often I see videos of you guys where I'm like, the growth is unbelievable. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Thank you, thank you. I'm like, wow. And every time I talk to somebody about you guys who, like, watches your podcast or something, everyone always says the same thing. George is so humble. You will be. And you're so you. You're so authentic.
Starting point is 00:18:02 You'll be on your podcast. You'll just speak your mind and potentially. in like your authenticity and in your wrongness, potentially make a mistake or say something, whatever, because it's your genuine thoughts. You don't over-edit your podcast. Like,
Starting point is 00:18:15 you literally keep everything in there. And then you come back the next week, open up your podcast, sometimes with an apology. Bro, I've been doing those apologies a lot later. And it is, please don't stop.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Like, truly, please don't get jaded to the point of, like, wanting, and you don't have this anyways. But, like, I had it on my heart to tell you, don't ever get to a place of performance or striving where you're like, oh, no, I have to be perfect.
Starting point is 00:18:39 So I'm going to make this so curated because your willingness to openly make mistakes, say something, and then even change your mind. Like, you're just expressing what normal people go through. Yeah. How they think. You say what people don't are afraid to say. Right. I just been in the game for so long and I've watched them like the same people.
Starting point is 00:18:58 It's so funny because on YouTube, if you click their accounts, you could see what they've commented in the past. Oh, yeah, I know. So I've watched the same people love. love me and the same people hate me and then they love me again and then they hate me and I took that to God one day and I'm like man I'm getting nauseous like and I catch myself changing sometimes to like please everybody and it's really hard to do that and I just realized my peace comes with not worrying about their noise and worrying about gods so like I just dance in front of the Lord
Starting point is 00:19:26 but with the whole world watching and I just have my eyes on my dancing partner and to be honest like everything that I wanted before came when I don't even care about them anymore. Like I have all these opportunities on my table and I have, we're going on tour, you have these guests I never dreamt about like, seek first the kingdom and the rest will come. God knows what your heart desires because he put those placements in them, but he can't give them to you if you desire them more than him. And I, being in an industry for like 11 years, it's, I've caught my,
Starting point is 00:20:02 myself, oh dude, this is where I turn my back against God. And that's a very hard thing to like to grasp because I get mad at other people for doing that to me and then I take it up to God and God goes, hey man, you've done worse to me. So like forgive the comments, forgive your friends, forgive your family, focus on me, just worry about what you're working on and the peace will come. And so I think I've grew up in a world where you try to work for the peace. Right. And the peace is in his presence. So the me just being on a mic in laughing or crying or just being who I am, it came just because God gave me the wisdom to, like,
Starting point is 00:20:38 this, if I had to shorten it up, it'd be this. What am I fearing? Am I fearing the Lord that has wisdom with it? Or am I fearing the world? And whatever you fear, you worship, you worship. So if I fear the world, I start worshipping the world. And one day I'm going to meet my creator. And he goes, hey, man, be away from me.
Starting point is 00:20:54 I never knew you. You knew them more than you knew me. Yeah. And so at the heights that we're at right now, we have to really, really be focused on like, hey, like, what are we actually catering to? Because you guys know more than anything. Like, I tell my wife all this.
Starting point is 00:21:07 I go, you grew up what I have now. A beautiful girl has, like, fame. Like, when people walk in and they start treating you differently, it boasts you. It makes you feel like something different. And if you wake up every single day and everybody's just giving you compliments or everybody's giving you, like, booze and stuff, regardless of what they are, it will fluctuate how you're behaving. Totally.
Starting point is 00:21:29 And so, like, I just kind of cut the noise off. And just I'm sitting here with my God and my wife and I just been so happy, bro. So happy. I see that in you guys too. I think something that I wanted to ask you about because we've like all of your fan base and audience and probably a lot of ours because we have a lot of overlap, which I think is so cool. So many of them have seen you just like openly be on your faith journey. Like they've seen Ari and I be on our faith journey. And I think you have a similar situation with as Ari and I do where you grow.
Starting point is 00:22:01 up Orthodox. Ari and I grew up somewhat Catholic, and we have this complex where we love Jesus, right? But like we don't necessarily, we don't know the word, we don't really know him, but we love him. And like, we say that we love him. But I think you're similar to me, for example, where we didn't have really any discipleship, nor did we have like Christian community of any sorts or maybe even like mentors. And I know since the first time we met you, your whole life, like the Lord has provided you a level of community that I'm pretty sure you didn't have before and like mentors and yeah like you have cliff and you're just like in the word and I just want to ask you what it's been like to go deep with God like you have like you've gone deep with
Starting point is 00:22:44 Jesus yeah it's okay this is the best way I could put I've met some people I've sat down with some people that know the Bible way better than me yeah know the word they can finish off the sentences but they have no love and then I read a verse where God says you can have all these talents but if you don't have love like gongs clashing together yeah for sure and so you have to be careful who is your mentor when you eat their fruits do you think they're coming from God or not so this is kind of been the journey that I've been on now having a real relationship with God is always in a state of humbleness like I can't go and arrogantly be like I'm right all the time is because I'm not leaving God room to work in my heart.
Starting point is 00:23:28 That being said, I grew up in a church where me and my mom have different viewpoints on things and we were bickering with each other. And you know what that was? At the time, I would cry all the time. When I left the church and I started going in my own direction, like my mom used to tell me it's better for you to, for me to die first before that happens. Like it was, imagine you always do something good for your mom and all you think about your mom and you're always thinking about her.
Starting point is 00:23:51 And then God puts you in a position to be like, all right, is it going to be me or your mom? Abraham, is it going to be me or your son? And so I understand that feeling now. And one day, we're going back and forth or arguing. But here's the thing. If I had to be humble, it's like, man, I learned a lot from my mom. So I can't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Starting point is 00:24:10 So I sat there with God and I go, God, like, how do you feel about this bickering? And I just sat in his presence. And I just felt weeping. Because imagine two of his kids, instead of being like, hey, let's glorify our Lord together. And hey, you have your agreements, you have your worship, you have your ways. Leave that between me and God.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Right. Let's pray and ask God to guide our feet to where they need to be. But sitting here for an hour debating, being angry, saying mean things you regret because you're so scared that your loved ones is maybe walking in the wrong direction. God says you could do a lot more preaching my word by no words and more action. Yeah. If you just walk with more peace and love and show them your fruits, then they could want to come with me. So true.
Starting point is 00:24:55 So, yes, there's been a lot of division and I'm so happy I got out of that storm because I was so arrogant, dude. I would always be, I grew up in the industry and I also grew up in a liquor store. And the two that have in common is I fight for my peace. And with God, that's not how it works. God is the God of turn your cheek. Walk away. pray for them if they sue you give them more and so it's hard it's a hard it's bitter to swallow because in your brain as a son of god i'm like no no no i'm gonna fight for you and god's like hey man
Starting point is 00:25:28 if i wanted to fight at the tip of my sword would be a thousand angels i don't need georgi jenko in hollywood fighting his mom or fighting his comments or fighting catholics or fighting orthodox how about you put your head down you truly talk to me with all of your heart and i'll guide you there and listen i've made decisions publicly or i'm like hey this is how i see things If the time comes where God opens up my eyes, it goes, hey, you're wrong? That's a big blessing. Because, dude, I'm the guy who gets on the podcast and be like, yo, yo, I was super wrong. And I'm hungry to look for when I'm wrong.
Starting point is 00:25:57 But what I used to do before is divide the room instead of bringing them together. If I feel like this person, like my mom, we view something differently. Instead of hammering it over them, we pray about it. And this is a very hard thing to do, but it's a very solid thing to do. Bring up the word of God. and stop bringing your opinion into it. Yeah. And like, it's hard, but it's something that I'm learning.
Starting point is 00:26:21 And so I'll read it and we'll talk about it. We'll pray about it. We'll move on. But I've learned is that our job is to plant the seed, not to grow it. And we get confused with doing God's job sometimes because we get carried away. So I just plant the seeds. I ask God to forgive me if I'm misstepping blindly because I don't want to be the blind leading the blind. But I also don't want to run away from where he wants me to be from.
Starting point is 00:26:44 And the best thing I could do is be patient. quiet, ready to listen, and if it's time to speak, he'll let me know and I'll speak it. Wow. Okay, confession. I love my morning coffee ritual, but I don't love how it makes me feel sometimes. The jitters, the crash, not cute. And that's why I started drinking everyday dose. It's functional coffee.

Starting point is 00:28:13 Have you ever had a really stressful, unwanted thought pop up during worship? Maybe it made you feel like you needed to start your prayer over because it wasn't right or perfect. It filled you with shame or it even caused crushing guilt because it felt like it offended God. A lot of people have thoughts like these, including Ari and I. And trust us, we know how scary and isolating they can be to struggle with. They can even lead to compulsive behavior, like constantly asking for reassurance, punishing yourself for having bad thoughts, or worrying about participating in religious practices like praying incorrectly. But here's what changed everything for us. Learning that these thoughts
Starting point is 00:28:49 aren't character flaws or signs of weak faith. They might be symptoms of religious OCD, also known as scrupulosity.

If I've realized anything in my life is if you just pray for people, God will send them someone else to tell them. Like, sometimes it just can't be you. Sometimes you're too close. And so I just like, I have so much respect for you in that, how you just decided to put your head down and, like, be humble and just follow Jesus and then let other imitate me as I imitate Christ. There's just a lot of responsibility behind it. Like, as of right now, we're pretty, we're pretty on the same page with how we're sticking
Starting point is 00:31:40 to the word or we're practicing. But there's a deep fear of mind that is like, yo, I'm 30, you know, 32. Like, what happens if I'm 42 and what I've been preaching the last 10 years, I was putting people in the wrong direction? There's a humility into it being like, all right, God, as of right now, I believe this. Yeah. But I can't forget that the past 15. years of my life, I did believe what my mom believed. And I did worship. And I would get very upset
Starting point is 00:32:06 if somebody would combat me on it. So I'm trying to find the most peaceful approach that we could all sit at the same table, all worship the one that we call God, and figure out a way that we're like, hey, you know, do you worship this way? I pray that's between you and God. And if I'm wrong, I pray that I'm standing next to you worshiping. And if that you're wrong, I pray that you're next to me worshiping. But the whole like sitting here debating, the arguing, like it doesn't do anything good and it brings out a really bad thing out of the church. And here's the thing, right? Say I'm Orthodox, you're Catholic, you're what we're Christian like, right? How embarrassing is it that we're sitting here arguing with each other? And a Muslim walks by, a Jewish walks by, a man who doesn't even know
Starting point is 00:32:49 God walks by. And they're like, look at these clowns. That's crazy. And I took very much big part in that. What people didn't know is that I came from a church where I'm studying and I'm learning and I'm exiting it, right? So I'm in a transition. They thought I was attacking because I was angry. It's not true. I was just questioning and learning at the same time battling myself. But I can't make excuses. God gave me a platform and he says, much is given, much is tested.
Starting point is 00:33:15 I act like a fool on that episode. When I watch you back, I'm like on the Avengers episode. On the Avengers episode, there was, I was so quick to like want to like speak and learn. But I didn't take any time to remember that, hey, dude, your family members, your church, the people you grew up with, your ethnicity, like, they thought I was just throwing haymakers, but the truth is I was asking questions, it's fine, but I was doing it inappropriately. Yeah. And my mom told me, she goes, this has been your problem, since you're a kid. It's not what you say, it's how you say it. All of us.
Starting point is 00:33:45 You got to be calm. You got to be collect. You got to be humble. So, like, now I have conversations with Catholics or Orthodox. And, you know, it might take a lifetime. It may take a lifetime for them to like, hey, dude, I mess with you again. Because there's a lot of people that wrote me emails. There's a lot of people that, like, return tickets.
Starting point is 00:34:03 There's a lot of people that, but I can't be consumed in that. I have to keep moving. My falls are a little heavier now because I'm higher up, but I can't sit there hovering over my mistakes because then I'm not giving my chance to grow and keep moving. So I'm forgiving myself, but also moving forward. But I also, this is the hardest part, I got to give them room to forgive me. I can't just expect them to forgive me right now and just move on.
Starting point is 00:34:27 So like it's a little battle. But staying off the internet and like staying with your wife, staying in your Bible, it just gives you a lot of peace. Also, no one's ever came up to me in real life and like got angry with me. You are so kind and you're so humble and you truly are harmless and you don't ever want to hurt anyone. Honestly, I didn't even know that it was that big of a deal from. I didn't even, I wasn't even aware of all of that. And it doesn't really, yeah. But you know what?
Starting point is 00:34:54 I loved it. I really did. I know that sounds crazy, but I loved it. Yeah. Because imagine if I kept going in that direction and I didn't know the, like the catastrophe that I was burning. Yeah. Like when we wield the word in front of the world, we're wielding a sword.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Totally. So how you wield it, you could either really set somebody free from bondage or you could really enslave them and hurt people. And so I was, I got really cocky with my power. of like turning out a microphone and talking. I got really cocky. And God was like, all right, I'm going to let this dude talk. Because you know what's so funny?
Starting point is 00:35:24 God's always guided my mouth. So I literally sat back and I was like, why didn't he like open my eyes? I watched a friend of mine talk wild on a podcast. And afterwards, there would be people that tell him that, hey, boy, you're wild and out. You can't be talking like that. And he'd still deaf ears.
Starting point is 00:35:41 So I sat there in a meditation. I go, why did it land on deaf ears for me? Obviously God had people come up to me. obviously I had to review this like why is it that God let me go through that and it's because God saw my heart wild and out and he's like hey dude I can't
Starting point is 00:35:56 I can't correct you until you feel that fire I keep trying to nudge you away from it but you keep trying to poke it so I'm gonna let you touch the fire now and so when I touched it dude I didn't just burn myself I burned my home wow I burned my mom my cousins my loved ones I have relatives that are high priests in that type of form the way that people would call me and scream at me
Starting point is 00:36:14 to people call me and weeped like I had absolutely no idea how I was swinging that sword until after that and it's humbling man I had no idea that it was took place also like it's also more personal as well because I grew up from that church
Starting point is 00:36:29 so like dude like having somebody I used to go to his house and learn from call me out and scream at me and his family talk about me online I wasn't angry about it because it would be foolish of me to be angry I upset them but it's quick to it's good to quickly learn your mistakes
Starting point is 00:36:45 A lot of people get bitter and then they're like, no, it's them. And it's like, that's such a wrong approach. Like, you know when you did something wrong. You got to work on that. I'm so proud of you. I really, I'm so proud of you. And honestly, what you said earlier about how, like, it's interesting because you have all this responsibility and you just don't want to lead people in the wrong direction, the most beautiful part about this for all of us and anyone else who preaches the gospel is that we have a entire Bible that tells us where to go, how to get there.
Starting point is 00:37:14 And so if we stick to that, we'll be okay. And then there's other things and other, you know, denominations and other debatable topics. But it's just like there's only one hill to die on. Like truly, everything else is not a hill to die on. The hill to die on is Christ and Christ crucified. Like that's all, if we stick to that, which you, I really believe you do, while amongst talking about other topics and, you know, workshopping things out loud because that's what you do. I don't know. I'm going to again encourage you to just like continue being yourself while going in the right direction while becoming more like Jesus because it's a blessing to everyone there have been moments where you've been like so humbly apologizing or something online and it makes me feel like oh you don't have like you don't have to
Starting point is 00:37:59 be perfect oh my gosh we called orpa in the Bible Oprah like you know we've done who know we've said much worse than that you get the Holy Ghost you get the Holy Ghost you get the Holy Ghost you said much I didn't start preaching like that it's it's weird I came from a podcast that was like full of degenerates talking about anything. I was just like love talking about God because I love talking about God because it's deep, bro. It's deep. Like it's I wanted to be an actor and I wanted to be a musician and I wanted to be all these things because I like storytelling.
Starting point is 00:38:28 But the best story in the world is God. So I didn't come out trying to be a preacher. I blinked one day and I had a podcast where people coming up to me. You know when I realized my podcast started to go a little bit more in the spiritual realm is when I'm about to interview Candace Owens and she's putting on her mic like this and somebody's putting on makeup on her. She looks at him and she goes, I'm really proud of you that you want the spiritual route. You really went there. And I literally went there. I was like,
Starting point is 00:38:53 I didn't know that because I don't think of it that way. I just had these conversations that I wanted. Somebody said when you have a podcast, talk about things that you really care about. So I like the industry because I see all these broken people from broken homes and they're so thirsty for like just some type of help. So I always like to bring up Christ because it helped me a lot. And I grew up at a liquor store and I would watch my mom and dad Do that to broken drunks. You know how weird it is for you to sell liquor but also teach them about the gospel?
Starting point is 00:39:19 It's like such a weird transaction. My heart. I love that. My dad would beat the brakes off of a man if he stole liquor from them. But if a pregnant woman or a child would steal food, he would tell his employees, hey, pray for them.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Like, just turn your eyes. So, like, the world that I lived in was, like, we hung out with the schmucks. Yeah. And we love them. Same. So, like, that's why, like, my podcast we wanted to just be more about, like,
Starting point is 00:39:40 the real world. And then also, like, I don't want to hide away from Christ. Yeah. I wasn't trying to be a, a Christian podcast. I was just trying to be the George Janko show. If it was a Christian project,
Starting point is 00:39:47 I want to put my name above God. Yeah. It was supposed to be a comedy show. Like, my tour that I'm going on, it's a comedy show, but then my heart started getting, like, affected by it. It was like, I went to do a show
Starting point is 00:39:59 and it was in Arizona. So I did two shows. They did one in California, one Arizona. Thank God, both of them sold out. In the middle of it, I'm telling jokes. People are laughing,
Starting point is 00:40:07 but I could see them waiting for something, waiting for something. So I literally go, hey. Because of the authority on your life, George. You can't get away from it. I let me go, do you guys want me to tell some more jokes? Or you guys want me to get deep?
Starting point is 00:40:19 And, bro, the audience, all that was going deep. And I was like, all right. Then I'm looking like a dude giving a monologue on stage. And I'm sitting there and I'm just seeing everybody at the edge of their table. And I'm like, oh, God, like, I didn't want to do this. But, like, it's so funny that it's just right. It's here. And they want me to do it.
Starting point is 00:40:38 But it's something I ran away from because I know the responsibility. Totally. Do you get what I'm saying? Yeah. Like when I see, I get, the only things that actually anger me, I'm not going to mention names out of respect. Yeah. But like, there's a lot of preachers and there's a lot of people that want to be on my podcast. And I look at them and I smell fake wolf.
Starting point is 00:40:55 I like, I do not mess with them at all. Because I'm watching you manipulate women and children for your benefit while your wife's at home. Oh, I could go off. Wow. Like, it really angers me. And I've told them to F off so many times. But for me to walk into that spotlight, I'm walking in just trying to entertain people and make people laugh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:13 as George Janko. So you're not trying to get healed over here. I'm not trying to heal you. If you get healed off of the talent that God gave me, amen. But I'm not telling you guys to come here for that. People want me to go and do that. Like there's people that will pay me and say, hey, go preach and do this or go to ASU and do this.
Starting point is 00:41:31 It's too much responsibility for a young man that doesn't know the gospel for it. Like, I can't go and just do this. Good for you. I'm good at it because God made me good at it. But I know that it would be. really, it would be really, really bad for me. If I know how to fly plane, up and down, I know I'm pretty good at it. But now they want me to fly somebody across Atlanta out of Southwest. I have all these people's lives in my hands. I can't just go and willy-nilly do it. There's a lot
Starting point is 00:41:57 of people that do that now because it's cool to talk about Jesus. I lost a job because I talked about Jesus. There's a very big difference. And so on watching these people collecting the money and fame from talking about Jesus, I'm like, bro, whoa is you, bro. If you're in it for the wrong place bro like dog like you're gonna want to set on fire the things that you're buying wow when you meet god you're gonna want to set it on fire because the time's gonna come when you're looking at his eyes and they're on fire and they're about to annihilate you off this planet and you're doing it to benefit while your wife's at home you're talking to this young lady that's looking at you because she feels a difference because of jesus and you take advantage of it dog like oh
Starting point is 00:42:36 god it's it's deeper than it is so happens a lot huh oh my god people taste the power Like, do think about this. I'm actively trying not to do it. I don't look at the can. I'll actively try to. I slip into pride all the time. I slip into the only way I could do it and get away with not doing it anymore is calling myself out on it in front of the world.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Wow. So I could have the audience be like, hey, George, you're doing it again. Hey, George, you're doing again. Wow. But these people don't even know that they're doing it. Or if they are, they're hiding it behind walls. I mean, they're operating in it for so long that it just becomes second nature and people don't even realize.
Starting point is 00:43:09 Like when they're so far in the darkness, they just becomes their natural. reality of being in pride yeah pride is the craziest thing you know what the bible says about a man who takes somebody else off the path of god's will you know what he says this haunts me bro because we talk about god on the fuck so imagine me after watching the avengers episode or watching the feedback on this god said it is better for you to tie a rope around your neck with an anchor and drop you into the abyss of this ocean yeah do you have do you have any idea what happens when you go into this do you know because i looked i looked it up the reason why that's so horrible is you
Starting point is 00:43:44 your eye pops out, you explode from the pressure from underneath. That is the worst way to go. While you're suffocating and your mind is literally popping out, your brain is coming out of your ears. It is the worst way to go and God says, dude, if you do this to my kid, it's better for you to go
Starting point is 00:44:00 do that to what I'm going to do to you. So let's stay on pride for a second. So what do you do? What in your intimacy with the Lord do you do in the mornings to resist pride? Because it's so easy for it to slip in. Like, what does it look like with you and pride and being on such a big platform? Yeah, the journey is, it's a journey. There's a clip of me. I just watched it the other
Starting point is 00:44:24 day. And I totally forgot that I even put this on the podcast. And I'm so blessed that God let me put that on the podcast. The first time I was ever on impulsive, I was just rambling about Jesus. And I said my prayer that I said when I came to California. And I said, God, if it takes me one inch away from you, I don't want it. Put it miles away from it. I'd rather suffer and be a poor man on this earth than to ever reap these benefits and lose you in the process of it. That's how it started. And then now I started getting and started getting. Much is given, much is tested. And I've learned that I was like, okay, cool, it's not bad to have things. It's not, it's not bad to have power. But if you abuse them, it's more of a chance of you being judge in a way
Starting point is 00:45:09 you wish you never had these things. So the prayers change is the heart changes. So as I'm growing like a good father, he's not letting me get to the next level until I could hold what's in my hands. Because I asked them, I don't want it. That's my prayer. I don't want it.
Starting point is 00:45:25 And now I'm getting more than I could ever even imagine, but my prayers lately had nothing to do with me anymore. So now I'm holding everything that my old Georgie would have been like, yo, bro, I want this and I want that. Never saw it a day in my life. But then I said, hey God, like, I'm tired and how stupid of me is it, to sit in front of the creator of this universe and say, can I get more followers?
Starting point is 00:45:48 Can I get more followers? Can I get more views? Yeah. Can I get this so I could get this? Or I could literally sit in front of him and remember that everything I'm about to ask him is about to perish in a few years and say, okay, like, now I understand the prayer when I says, how about it be your will that's in heaven that will be done here? What do you want for me?
Starting point is 00:46:07 Yeah. So that way when I stand in front of you, it wasn't, hey, man, remember when you only talked about yourself forever? You only talked about yourself. You never even cared about what I needed you to do. And then as soon as I asked God, hey, what do you need for me? That's when he plopped everything my heart desires in front of me. And I'm like, wait a second, this doesn't make sense, God. Why are you giving this to me?
Starting point is 00:46:27 I don't even want this. And now you start getting your head. No, no, it's a test. The devil doesn't want. And then you go to the parable of talents. No, no, no. I built you. You wanted that because I built you to be a man.
Starting point is 00:46:37 to just go speak. But you were talking about yourself, so I didn't think you had anything to talk about. But now you want to talk about me, so here's the microphone. But then you're like, all right, well, what do I do? I don't know if I'm responsible enough.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Different level, different devil, right? I wasn't worthy here, which means I'm not going to be worthy here. So when things get tough or things get great, I got to set myself in the middle of the cross and say, it ain't about me. I make a mistake or I make, if they applaud or if they boo,
Starting point is 00:47:02 it's not my job to listen to them. There was a line from Rick and Morty that, really spoke to me. And I didn't even watch the episode. Somebody talked about it. And I was like, yo, that's a fire line. He says,
Starting point is 00:47:13 I don't care about what the world boo's at. I've seen what they cheer about. Oh, wow. And I was like, yo, that is a deep message. We get so caught up trying to impress the girl
Starting point is 00:47:23 we're not trying to dance with. Wow. It doesn't make sense to me. I'd rather impress God. Yeah. And it's so funny. And this is selfish to say this. And only a true man of God will know this.
Starting point is 00:47:33 When you dance with God, you start receiving things you feel like you have no business receiving. Yeah. It's like kind of my wife. When I look at her, I understand God now. When I look at my mom and dad, I understand God now. My mom gives me more than I deserve.
Starting point is 00:47:46 I give my wife way more than she deserves because in my heart, I go, you deserve everything. Because you're so meek, you're so beautiful, so kind, you're so pure, you're reading the Bible. So my heart is wanting to give her everything because her heart is not attached on the world. I want to give her the world. Yeah. But imagine if my wife was only thinking about the materials, I'm just, I ain't giving it to you. Yeah, totally. You're going to lose yourself over this.
Starting point is 00:48:07 That's a great point, Jared. So he's not going to give you what's going to break you. He's going to give you what's going to exalt you. So if you don't have what you're thinking in your mind, God is destined for you to have, is because your heart is not reflecting him. It's reflecting you. And he can't give you something
Starting point is 00:48:21 that you're going to reflect to all of his other kids because it's going to be death. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:51:43 literally i'm so happy no one caught it i go oh great point john jair what towards you said john yes i didn't see that i need help i need true help anyways um impulsive going from that world to i mean there's obviously been so much sacrifice and there's been probably so many moments of surrender for you. And I just wonder, that story of Abraham and Isaac, it's Genesis 22. How does that speak to you? That sort of sacrifice and that sort of surrender. Like, what does that look like for you in your own life? When I read Abraham now, my wife was like sad. There's a lot of people that are like, how could you, how could you worship a God that would ask you to kill his son? And I said, hey man, keep reading the story. He stops him and he gives him his son. So when you
Starting point is 00:52:29 sit there and go how could you how yeah how could we how could we and this is the worst part how could you know that the creator of the world gave you his son and you still do the sin that put him on that wood it's crazy yeah it's all a reflection we took from the tree the truth god himself had to crawl back onto the tree and nail himself because he's the truth so it's depending which tree you're going to and the sacrifice to me is not a sacrifice anymore it's not a sacrifice pleasure it's a joy i weep The things I used to weep before, I weep him now. And I said, how did I used to weep in front of you? I'm embarrassed.
Starting point is 00:53:05 Here's the thing that I'll say about this. If somebody's going through their time right now where they feel like God's wronging them or they feel like, how could this happen? Why would God let this happen? Keep letting him go. Right, exactly. Don't be the Jew in the wilderness wanting to go back to slavery. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Yes. Don't do that. Sit there and humble yourself to know that like, hey, dude, like, and excuse my language, Like, actually I'm not going to do it. Thank you. But like I used to sit here and be like, why am I eating poop, bro? Why am I eating poop? I did so much.
Starting point is 00:53:36 But like, bro, humble yourself, enjoy that poop. Eat it. Yeah. Sit there and humble yourself. You have something to eat. You have something to grow off of. If you have any audacity, and by the way, I'm not judging you, this is me. If you have any audacity to look at God and go, my man, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:53:51 You're already your heart's in the wrong thing. Yeah. Because now when I'm going through things, and it's the scariest place to be sometimes. But when you're going through things, this whole year I've been going through turbulence. And I've gotten out of them so much faster when I humbled myself so he could get me out instead of me trying to wander my way out of it. It doesn't work that way. It's not me plus God.
Starting point is 00:54:12 It's just all God. So if there's a situation that's going down, well, you're hurting. You lost your job. You lost your friend. You lost your family. It could be anything from material to physical to spirit. You feel like you're losing it. Just take a breath.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Humble yourself. and remember that he could bring it to life if he wanted to. And he will. Listen, when I went through what I went through, I remember being really embarrassed. Wow. I'm really scared.
Starting point is 00:54:40 And it didn't help that everybody in the world wanted to put their two cents into it. When you went through what? Separation from impulsive. Impulsive or friend groups or family groups or churches. Like there was a lot of stuff that was one. It was a very short amount of time. But what I've learned is if I just
Starting point is 00:54:58 If I step in into the water And I keep my eyes on him I can get to him quicker Yeah But if I keep taking every two steps To turn away to look at the problem Exactly There's a reason why you're drowning
Starting point is 00:55:15 And you can't breathe Yeah, yeah So I've gotten very good Not because of my own will Because of his And I'll tell you how to get here I'm actually going on a tour to explain this It's called The Man on Water Tour.
Starting point is 00:55:26 That's good. But I'll explain a little bit of it right here. This right here, and by the way, it's a comedy tour. So please don't come to the thinking it's a church. It's a comedy tour. It's a podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:55:36 I just want to make sure. I don't want people to come bringing their Bible and then like they're thinking we're going to praise and do stuff. It's a comedy tour. It's a podcast. But I'm talking about the greatest story. Right. It's the main guy talking about the main guy.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Yeah. That's the long line. The best way to get yourself out of, of feeling in a place of suffocation is taking a moment, focusing your eyes on God, humbling yourself, and saying, hey, what do you want me to do? Stop telling God what you want him to do.
Starting point is 00:56:08 There's a reason why this happened. My whole life since I was a kid, I would, it's so funny, I never got anxiety and depression until I was in Hollywood, but those only moments was when I started doubting God. Of course. When I was a kid, I got held back. My mom would train me to be so happy
Starting point is 00:56:25 be all the time. Full of faith. Well, my mom would be like, hey, buddy, how would you like to try third grade again? And I'm like, really? It's just like, yeah, you get new friends. And I was like, no way! Like, my mom was sad, that is so my mom. That is porn parents.
Starting point is 00:56:39 My mom is like, no, they're just jealous of you. That's why they helped you back. You got help back too? No, but if I were too. I got to spend a lot. Oh, dude. Like, my whole comedy bit is actually about me and my school. But the reason why I tell these stories is because there's two,
Starting point is 00:56:55 types of men in God's eyes. And there's only two. It doesn't matter if you're black, white, Asian, anybody in the world, there's only two types of man in God's eyes, grateful and ungrateful. It's either you could sit there and rejoice and elevate his name or you could forgive me for sin, curse that God. People always tell me like, hey, is it wrong to look for materialistic things or be rich or all that stuff?
Starting point is 00:57:21 Like, listen, I got money the day that God taught me that the money ain't mine. that's when I got money is when I realize that I'm his stewarder so how I spend if it's $100 or $150,000 if I'm spending it in a day I'm not looking at it as if it's mine
Starting point is 00:57:36 I'm looking at it as his so yeah I don't get stingy I get very generous because I'm not worried about it it's not mine if you need to fill up my pockets you'll fill up my pockets but my intentions are set on him you will thrive
Starting point is 00:57:49 when you put your intentions on him when people say you're a prosperity gospel preacher. Absolutely, I am. Absolutely, I am. In fact, I want you to do me a favor. I want you to say with your mouth, so I know that God hears you.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Say it with your mouth when you look at me. Tell me a time and place that you invited the Lord Jesus Christ into your life and you didn't prosper. Tell me. I don't care what it is. I don't care what it is. Tell me where it is.
Starting point is 00:58:16 You cannot bring this light into a room and it gets darker. If you're thinking, well, no, you have ranged over, you're doing this, you're confusing yourself. the best thing you could ever have in the world is the presence of Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:58:29 That's what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about money. If God didn't give you money, I'm sorry to say this, is because you're not responsible for money or he's using you for his glory, which you should be taking that with a beautiful thing. If God asks you to be poor,
Starting point is 00:58:43 why don't you do yourself a favor and remember that the first is last and the last is first? When I'm sitting up here at the top, you think I'm freaking like, oh, yeah, making it rain. No, I'm worried. Every step of the way,
Starting point is 00:58:52 I'm like, oh my God, am I doing this the right way? Am I making sure that this is going out? This is that. I'm going to have the same problem on top that the kid at the bottom is going to have if your heart's right in the right place. Yeah. If you're poor right now, if you're struggling with money, I promise you invite the Lord in.
Starting point is 00:59:07 And wherever you go, celebrate it. If you keep being poor, celebrate it. If you become rich, celebrate it. Money's not going to make you happy. Fame is not going to make you happy. I got money and fame. I became depressed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:21 I got anxious. I got depressed. It was a worst place. I used to ask God to take it away for me until my mom told me to chill out. You know, she said to me, actually, this stayed with me. I said, no, this is from the devil. And my mom goes, oh, so the devil's over here blessing you with all this, huh? And I was like, well, no, no, no, no. It just seems that you're going through turbulence. You need to humble yourself and say, hey, God, if it's not good for me, take it away from me. I started giving him my first fruits. That's the secret to my success. It wasn't because I was the most talented. Tell us what that is. First fruits. in so many ways. Okay, first fruits of your day is instead of getting up and getting on your
Starting point is 00:59:56 iPhone and looking at the junk that the world is giving to you, why don't you get up and see what God wants to give to you? That way, if you start your day with the rock, right? If it's a strong rock, then you could layer things on top of it. And then you can feel confident, you can feel strong, you feel peaceful. But if you start with rockiness and lies and goo and steak, it's going to feel like quicksand. You're going to feel like dark and depressed. I would start my days with that. What does people think about George Janko today? What did they? I hope they like me. I hope they like. And this is like rolling the dice. Some days you wake up and they're like, yeah. Some days you're like, I got to kill myself. This is terrible. God goes, hey man, how about you
Starting point is 01:00:32 start thinking about me in the morning? And then I'll take care of you. How about that? How about you give me your life? And I'll take care of your steps. So then I started giving him my first fruits. And by the way, do I fail on this? Sometimes when I sleep really late and I wake up and I have to rush to a meeting, but dude, I could feel the difference. Yes. I can feel the difference. Start by giving your first fruits, first hours, first part of your day to the Lord. Hey, if you don't like reading right now and you're dyslexic and stupid, like how I was,
Starting point is 01:00:57 dude, just sit there and meditation, pray. Then guess what? One day, God's going to open up your eyes. And when you're reading literature that takes college students to understand, all of a sudden you're able to break it down. It ain't because of you. It's because of the comfort or the Holy Spirit. He's not asking you to meet him where he's at.
Starting point is 01:01:12 Dude, we'd be cooked asking to let you meet. meet where you're at so invite them into where you're at when I got out of being an addict of smoking weed I was trying to medicate myself I would always try to quit and then fall how long ago was that?
Starting point is 01:01:28 A few months ago so like if I go if I go back and forth I go back and forth I go back and forth I would always wait for the day I'll get myself like 30 days and then I'm gonna be honest but I'll be hunting for that day right and then I realized one day when I was speaking
Starting point is 01:01:40 I kept saying I and me and I was like bro it's not him That's why I keep failing That's why I get sober And then I fail again And I get sober Because guess what When I go and tell people
Starting point is 01:01:50 How you did it It's all about how I did it Mm-hmm Pretty tricky When you have a podcast So This is gonna piss off A lot of people
Starting point is 01:01:58 But this is the truth Go ahead I would light up a J or freaking hit a bong Or rip a bag Whatever it was Yeah And I would just sit there
Starting point is 01:02:06 praising him bro Blasted out of my mind Blasted out of my mind But I stopped running away from him Wow Because if I'm gonna be here I'd rather you be with me So all of a sudden the next day I would look at it differently
Starting point is 01:02:16 Then all of a sudden I feel about it differently And then all of a sudden the things that these Christian people would say to me Started kind of like adding up a little bit Those Christians man Well it's tricky because there's false Christians And there's real Christians So the people that throw the rocks You don't know which one you're actually dodging
Starting point is 01:02:31 Or the which ones that actually matter Yeah So one thing led to another And I put it down And one day I just didn't want to put it up anymore Because at one point This is the best analogy I could put And this is I was explaining it to my wife
Starting point is 01:02:43 I had two sets of fruits in the garden. The ones I planted and the ones he planted. The ones he planted, even people, strangers. Atheist would be like, you know, man, how do you have that? Like, yo, it's God. Didn't shy away from that. You can't shy away from that. But then these fruits, I'm like, all right, these are bad, right?
Starting point is 01:03:00 Everybody keeps saying they're bad fruits. So I got to get ripped. As I'm ripping these fruits out, I'm planting more. And then I rip them, rip them, rip them. And then one day I get so tired in the garden ripping these out. And then I fall. I get so sad that I fell. I plant that thousand more.
Starting point is 01:03:13 And then now I'm looking, I'm like, man, these fruits are really outweighing God's. But I'm just sitting here focusing on those fruits, focusing on those fruits. And one day the Holy Spirit told me, he goes, not at audibly, by the way. I want to make sure people are not thinking I'm hearing I'm audibly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a feeling, it's a comfort, it's a thought, it's a picture that when you know it's from him, it's only a relationship thing. It's like if I close my eyes and I hear you guys speak, I know who's speaking right now because I spent time with you guys. So you'll be able to know when you speak time with him
Starting point is 01:03:45 Who's the devil and who's God? Yeah So God just whispers into my heart He says You're just so focused on your fruits Turn away from your fruits Just eat mine And if you got to go eat your fruits
Starting point is 01:03:58 It's fine but just when you're done Focus on my fruits So I'd pick up the J But I'd focus on his fruits And one day man I got tired of eating these fruits And I just wanted to eat these fruits And so I'm sitting here
Starting point is 01:04:11 And I'm eating these fruits And one day, two days, three days, four days, a week goes by. And I look back and I realize those fruits I was trying to rip out from the garden are drying up and they're dying themselves. So I don't even need to worry about them. Wow. The Lord is taking care of it. A lot of us try to fix it on the problem because we feel like we owe God to do that.
Starting point is 01:04:32 But the truth is the gospel explains it's mercy, it's grace, and it's a gift. You don't earn a gift. You receive a gift. Yeah. And with faith, that's all our job is to do is to receive it. If you're caught up with your own pride of thinking, I got to do this for God, God's going to hang back because he doesn't mix evil with good and good with evil. Remember, he always tells us all the time.
Starting point is 01:04:57 He goes, look at the gifts you give, but you guys are evil. That is. So we try to gift ourselves, but we mistake it. These gifts that we're giving ourselves are evil. So don't focus on what your messups are. Don't focus on what you're doing. That is so amazing. just focus on God and through that you'll be able to keep it moving and keep it going
Starting point is 01:05:18 that is so beautiful just focus on Jesus it's really simple and it gets even more simple as you journey with God is that like you actually don't need to think about anything other than Jesus and then you do watch your entire life fall into place as he works even in the bad times and what you were talking about before when you were like you were just talking about hardship and about how, like, if you focus on the problem, it just gets bigger. And literally all I was thinking about for you, for us, for everybody, is just what I've learned more than anything is just the power of yielding. The prayer that I pray every single morning, two things, three things.
Starting point is 01:05:57 One, Holy Spirit possess me. My mind, my body, my heart, my mouth specifically, that I only speak things that you would have me speak. And two, I pray that I would love people the way that Jesus would love them. and then three, I pray that my spirit would yield to Jesus, that my spirit would yield to God alone, not to my flesh, not to my opinions, not to anything that I think about a situation
Starting point is 01:06:22 because in every hard situation, what I've learned is God actually doesn't care about anything except us becoming more like Jesus. It is his number one focus and goal is that every single one of us becomes more like Jesus. So when we're facing hardship, everything that we face is literally God producing himself in us. Jesus forms himself in us through difficult situations. And it's so hard to remember in the face of difficulty is that like in this moment, this might be really bad and this hurts and this sucks.
Starting point is 01:07:02 Jesus is forming himself in me. And that just will change your entire life when you realize it's not about this or that or figuring it out. how do I become more like Jesus through this? What is he producing in me that makes me more like him? You know what I mean? What do you guys think is the best step forward to following Jesus? Go ahead. The best step forward in terms of if you're a new believer or...
Starting point is 01:07:25 Just anybody. The best step forward is to read the Bible. Yeah, good mentors. Read the Bible. Spend time with Jesus. Like you said, the first fruits every day. you there's only one form of currency to buy what we want to buy in Jesus and it's time you don't get it through watching a podcast you don't get it through going to a conference you don't get it through
Starting point is 01:07:54 impartation the currency is time you don't graduate from it you don't you never depart from that it's literally just your time it's extended amount of time with Jesus in the secret place when no one is watching it is the key i have studied and watched and talk to so many men and women of god that i admire so much and they say the same thing love jesus in the secret place it's actually that simple and if you want wisdom he gives you wisdom isn't that crazy it is that simple and read the word well think about it like advertisements social media streaming service they all fight for your time yeah and so like it's not going to feel when we act like the world, when we only absorb the world.
Starting point is 01:08:39 Right. We're always, like, on the phone or if we're always watching a show, if we're always watching a movie, if we're always watching all this, but we give no time to God, you are what you're feeding yourself. My mom is to say, you don't, look, whatever gasoline you put in a car is, like, it matters. Like, whatever is making you run matter. Yeah. And so a lot, I grew up a lot just praying.
Starting point is 01:09:00 That's wrong. You can't just pray. It's a form of, like, pride. It's like, I'm only sitting here where you. about what you think I'm going through because you know you're God you got to figure it out you need help me but the truth is like if it ain't his words in your mind
Starting point is 01:09:15 somebody else that you don't want totally yeah so that's a big one that's I always ask people what's the first step and a lot of people give me all these other things but it's like dude it's just the word the word what became flesh and then he went back to the word so it's like it's insane to think that like you need anything else
Starting point is 01:09:32 what is the Bible done to your life and what has been your journey in reading the Bible And what is it done other than change your entire life, probably? And did you, has it, have you really gone in even more? I feel like you've gone in even more this past year. If you ever see me becoming more wise, it's because I'm diving in deeper. I was so stupid. Yeah, we see that in you.
Starting point is 01:09:51 It's, I was only regurgitating what I learned from the world. So, like, I was stupid. And do you get into, are you in Bible studies? Do you have good men of God around you? Because I feel like men also, I keep hearing them, I ask them that. Like, I feel like men. That's very important. You got to hang out with somebody.
Starting point is 01:10:06 that like you want to be like you need good so if i want to be like christ i got to look at people that i feel like are acting christ like right so if if your mentor like for example like if you want to be rich you want to hang out with somebody who's rich right you want to be funny you'll hang out with somebody who wants to be funny i want to hang out with a married man who loves his wife yeah i want to hang out with a man who his kids love him yeah yeah i want to hang out with a man that when i bring up something if i act prideful or stupid or gossip he tells me hey chill out watch your mouth yeah i need somebody to be above me and say, hey, you're wrong. You've got to correct your mouth.
Starting point is 01:10:42 And those are the people I hang around with. If you look at the ones that are lost in the world, they hang out with what do we call the yes men. But the yes men are stupid men. They're empty vessels of nothing. And all they want to do is please people. I don't want to please you. I want to give you purpose.
Starting point is 01:10:59 I don't want to please you. I want to bring you to the man who pleases me. So I don't care if I make you happy or if I make you sad, as long as I know that God's pleased with my actions. Right. You wouldn't believe how many people want to act more like you, trust you more. Like when I'm more real with somebody, they're like, that was my biggest fear before. It's like, I'll have all these thoughts.
Starting point is 01:11:19 I'm like, this person needs to chill out. And then I wouldn't say anything because I'm like, I want them to like me. I don't want them to hate me. I have no friends. I can't lose more friends. But then I started gaining more friends when I was like, hey, man, you know, the way you spoke about your mom was wild. Wow, wow. Watch out, bro.
Starting point is 01:11:34 That's your mom. Or like, hey, dude, you have a son. You know, it's the time you stop going to the club and raise your son. Yeah. Like, you wouldn't believe they want to hang out with me more. Because they're like, yeah, bro, he called me out on that. And like, I need to do better. So I stopped fearing.
Starting point is 01:11:49 Remember, whatever you fear, you worship. And it leads to death. Yeah. So unless you're worshiping God and fearing God, there's no wisdom there. Yeah. So once I started fearing God, I didn't care what Chuck thought about. You know, like, Chuck. Chalk it up, buddy.
Starting point is 01:12:03 Like, you got to get back. So it's Grisha and so yeah and it's so funny like everything else came I wanted more friends I started being more real with them and then I got in more friends I wanted a stronger family I had to be more real with them I didn't get scared of the things I shouldn't be scared of yeah you know what I'm saying can we just talk about masculinity because I just love the way tell me I love the way you love your wife and I love the way you talk about marriage and it's really rare it is yeah for someone your age in this industry It is.
Starting point is 01:12:35 And it's just so beautiful. And we're just so proud of you for that. But do you feel like there's an attack on masculinity in this generation? Yeah, of course. Can you talk about it? Yeah. I mean, like, they're just raw. Like, okay, there's all these conspiracies, man.
Starting point is 01:12:50 They want to control you, man. They want to do all that. But the truth is, dude, like all of what's going on in this world, God said 2,000 years ago. It's nonsense. It's going to be up and down. Maybe masculinity is going to be a more better trend when our kids grow up. But it might go in a wrong direction where they're chauvinistic.
Starting point is 01:13:04 So it's not where you're at It's where your heart is with God So like if I'm like my wife was a big blessing to me My biggest fear The reason why I am a good husband's her Is because I was walking down In the very beginning of a relationship I didn't have women like me
Starting point is 01:13:22 Yeah yeah So that became charming I was good looking I started making money Like I was I'm not putting this down bro I worked my whole life for this Even family members I looked up to It would be like hey dude like get out of your system now So that way when you're married
Starting point is 01:13:34 I'll say that. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, so it's, it's all good intentions, bad advice. Just because somebody has good intentions, doesn't mean it's good for you. Yeah. Right? So I literally sat down one day with this beautiful woman.
Starting point is 01:13:48 And to be honest, I was blessed because God really showed me that I was going to marry this woman. But what I was, one day, I'll be honest. One day I was walking her down a direction I used to walk down, a very bad, evil direction. and one day before I was like in the midst of like convincing her like yo this is fun we should do this while before we're married and all this crazy nonsense
Starting point is 01:14:12 God whispered in my heart he goes I will literally kill you I'll kill you and I was just I've never felt that God's always nudged me but never like threatened I've never felt that and it chilled me to my bone
Starting point is 01:14:28 The fear of God oh bro and by the way needed it was a really horny dude, like a stupid, immature, dumb kid. And like, I needed it and I sat her down. I said, hey, remember all that stupid stuff I was hyping about? And she was like, yeah, I go, like, God told me you kill me if I even go through with this. She started laughing. She goes, honestly, because we're new.
Starting point is 01:14:48 We just started dating. She's like, I was just, you know, I thought you liked that. And I was like, oh, so like, I took advantage of this woman that, like, wanted me. So I was convincing her with my sharp tongue that God gave me to convince women or men that God exist. I'm convincing them to do evil things. Right. So I'm sitting there and I'm like, oh, man, like I really should more probably talk to her about Jesus than talk to her about this nonsense that's going on in Hollywood.
Starting point is 01:15:12 Right. Wow. One day, two days, but then I'm starting to fall back a little bit. We're doing a lot better, way better. In fact, everybody's complimenting us. So little guilt comes when I had those bad thoughts. Yeah. It wasn't a sharp, I'm going to kill you.
Starting point is 01:15:27 It was like, this is your last morning. Mm-hmm. Last morning The death I learned Wasn't from me dying It was the death of the relationship Because we were supposed to be one Yeah
Starting point is 01:15:39 And so he's gonna remove it Yeah And God whispered in a dream in mind He goes, I will I will make sure you watch her Make another man a king I will make sure that you stand there And watch his tears
Starting point is 01:15:52 Will down your face Her put a meal in front of him And raise a children In front of you And you will be alone I won't bless you. Because how are you spitting in the blessing that I'm giving you? And so that I started reworking my mind and asking God for forgiveness.
Starting point is 01:16:07 But it came with like, you have to ask for forgiveness. And then once I asked for forgiveness, I said, okay, well, how do I behave? Here's a crazy part. And this is for a lot of men that are single right now. It's going to be a little uncomfortable for women. The world that they're giving you right now is like this music that you don't have sex with all these women. It's nasty, bro.
Starting point is 01:16:23 It's gross. And in fact, real men will tell you this. When you're going through it, you feel gross. It doesn't feel great. But when you have sex with a woman, that's meant for you and no other man's touching her or no man's looking at her or you guys are having this intimate thing that and by the way there's no guilt anymore because it's blessed yeah yeah yeah yeah sex without guilt is a wild it's a wild thing it's a wild thing thank you
Starting point is 01:16:47 it's better than a thousand women that you makes you feel guilty about it the reason i say that is because as young as you are probably listening you're thinking that the whole world falls around sex it's a beautiful thing but what comes after that with growing something with a wife talking about what you want to do with your children growing up or where we're going to move or how we're going to be and then you guys growing together, it's like, oh, man, it makes perfect sense
Starting point is 01:17:16 what the devil throws in your way to avoid you from going there because this is what was promised to us and it's a good gift that God wants us to have. But he'll distract you and try to chain you down to this so that way you do never get to what this is supposed to be created. So yeah, man, real men, real men, this is how you behave, you sacrifice, the same way that Christ did. That's why he says love your wife like your church. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 01:17:44 If you love the church, there's a lot of sacrifice that comes with the church, a lot of killing yourself to prosper her. But here's the best part. Everybody complements me in the man that I am today, and it would have never happened if it wasn't about. if I didn't have somebody to die for and really kill my like possessions and kill my thoughts and kill my ego and all of the lust of this world and God said hey Abraham go up there sacrifices for me because if you do this and we could begin this real life that we have for you and dude I did it and it was the greatest like there is nothing on this earth besides Christ I got to be honest I tell this all the time. I'd use you as a body shield
Starting point is 01:18:28 for God. Like if bullets are flying, I would let all of the bullets hit you for God. But besides God, all and everything around me, I would never trade it for just a moment having dinner with my life. And taking her across
Starting point is 01:18:46 the world, reading the gospel with her, like it is the greatest thing a man could get blessed with. In the Bible in Proverbs, it says a good, a gift from God, a good woman is like a crown on his head. When this woman walks around, I take more pride in when they compliment her than when they compliment me. And vice versa, right?
Starting point is 01:19:08 She loves you so much. And by the way, you could get there. The only way you could get there, I'm not talking to you guys, I'm talking about the men out there. The only way you could get there is like, bro, you have to show God that you're ready. And I'll tell you why. An atheist man told me this once. I was dating three girls.
Starting point is 01:19:22 But by the way, I was always respectful. I always told the girls, hey, I'm just freelancing right now. Yeah. Right? He's just freelancing. And I was like, hey. I was freelancing right now. And I'm like, I said this.
Starting point is 01:19:33 I said, I'm just waiting for the right one. And he looked at atheist dude. An atheist dude looked me in my face and says, I don't get it. That doesn't really make sense to me. And I go, why? He goes, well, you believe in God. He goes, why would God give you his daughter if you treat his other daughters like that? Wow.
Starting point is 01:19:53 And I literally go, oh. Oh. And this is actually a story I never told anybody. I took a few months to be absent. I didn't mess around. It's important. And I did it for God. And I was like, hey, God, like, obviously I fell once in a while.
Starting point is 01:20:09 But I tried my absolute harvest. And I did a pretty good job in my eyes. And I literally was sitting in my room. And I was praying to God. And I said, hey, God, like, I know you're going to bring me. a great woman one day and I'm showing you now that I'm gonna treat her right
Starting point is 01:20:27 even though he saw in the future I was gonna act like I'm gonna treat her right my heart's in the right place at the time a few months go by I'm sitting in my room and I'm eating and my friend walks in
Starting point is 01:20:38 and he goes dude I just met your wife and I go what I'm spoken to Jay I'm high I'm like dude what are you talking about he goes bro I met your wife he goes bro I looked at her
Starting point is 01:20:49 and all I kept thinking is like oh this is George's wife wow he goes you gotta come meet her Believer? No. Don't you love on God uses atheists to deliver a message? All the time.
Starting point is 01:20:59 All the time to correct me, bro. Very humiliating. Very humiliating. And so I was just super high and he goes, bro, you got to come. I've never told this third. He goes, you got to come right now. He goes, you got to come. I was like, bro, I'm not going to leave my house because I would be like a hermit.
Starting point is 01:21:14 I was like, I'm not going to. He was no, bro, you got to. And in my heart at the time, I go, bro, I can't reject this. Even if I'm high, what if it's the right girl? So this beautiful girl walks into Tchaia walks in her hair's bit back. She's wearing what Bella Hadid was wearing for her runway show. And so I look at her and I go, wow, you're more beautiful than Bella. And she looked at me and she goes, what?
Starting point is 01:21:39 I go like, you're like Little Bell. And she goes, what? And I just got really quiet and I just stood there. And that was the first time I ever talked to her. So the joke is why I call her Little Bell. Oh, my gosh. Is that why you call her Bell? Because I was a little dummy.
Starting point is 01:21:52 No, George That is so cute Yeah, so I call her little bell And then throughout life Her mom was like You know her name is Shana Right? And I was like
Starting point is 01:22:01 I know We made a deal I say because it's just a funny story Between us I said I will call her little bell Until our first daughter And then I will call her bell And then I'll start calling Belle
Starting point is 01:22:13 Shana Are you gonna name your daughter Bell? Yeah that's the dream That's the dream I want her to name our son George by the way I don't need you guys to help me in the conversation. George the second.
Starting point is 01:22:23 George the third. Do you know how powerful that is? You have to continue it. Do you know how powerful that is? Hey guys, welcome to the room, George Janko, the third.
Starting point is 01:22:32 You're like, oh my God. I'm going to need my daughter, Angela. The second. It's not girl names, right? No. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:22:40 I want to name my daughter, Ari. Is that weird? No, that's cute. It's the best name. So Ari, literally, I'm not even, she started like a worldwide phenomenon
Starting point is 01:22:49 of people naming their daughters Ari, like everyone is named their daughter Ari. Aww. And if she was just jealous, she goes, there's only one Ari. She was, there's no one, love him. It's loud. Shut up. If she gets offended if the baby's ugly, you're like, are you sure it's not Isabella?
Starting point is 01:23:05 Are you sure? It's not, it's. It looks like an Izzy or Icky, but one of them, but it's definitely not Arii. Okay? That's so funny. So basically, did you guys hear how to be a, okay, how do we be a masculine man of God? Let's give us just... Kill yourself and be like Christ.
Starting point is 01:23:20 He was the mainliest man in the world. Okay, there we go. First of all, yes. But if you're not going to die to yourself, he'll kill you. Have you had an urge to smoke in the past two months? No. No. No, because like, well, no, hold on.
Starting point is 01:23:36 That's not true. What do you do to fight it off? Not how I used to. No, no, no. Spend time in God. But that's the worst part to say, right? Because it's so annoying to say it. Because when you're like, like, man, I want to do something bad.
Starting point is 01:23:47 You don't want to like run to your mom and dad or like to God. It's a very uncomfortable thing. So I say start by meditating, just pray. And literally just say this. Like if you're about to do something, just invite God. If you fall that day, it's fine, dude. Just get back up. Get back up.
Starting point is 01:24:01 Don't worry about it. Don't hurt yourself. But in that time, just say, hey, God, be really honest. God, I'm so weak. I'm such a stupid little boy. I'm so weak. I'm about to like this, Jay. It's right here.
Starting point is 01:24:11 I already rolled it up. Like, God, give me the strength to walk away from this. And then something will happen where you're not touching it. But it's that honesty and that rawness, right? when you come before him. And it's the power of invite. It's an invitation. If you invite him and you fall two seconds later,
Starting point is 01:24:28 you opening the door and inviting him empowers you ten times more. The scripture says wherever sin bounds, grace abounds more. Preach. Brite. I'm not a preacher. I'm a stand-up comedian.
