Folks, it's Miracle Monday. Do you understand it's Monday, and we get to talk about miracles? We can talk about miracles every day of the week. But the M in Miracles magically is the same as the M in Monday. And we just believe that this is the way to go. Miracle Mondays. We've got, I have to say, I wrote a book on miracles. I'm very excited about the concept of,

encouraging folks in their faith to say, this is real. When you hear these stories, it fires up your faith. We all need that. And so today we bring on our new friend Ken Chin. Ken, welcome. No, thank you for having me, Eric. Pleasure to be with you. It's a joy. And Keith Junta, you got to explain because Keith is on with us today. How did you come to know about the amazing story of Ken Chin? How do you know about this? Yeah, Ken and I have become recent friends these last few years, and he was kind enough to bring me on his podcast where it's called Encountering God. Do I have that right, Ken? Encounters with God. Encounters with God. And they deal with near-death experiences.

But, Ken, I forget how you found me. Yeah, I think it was through the wipe every tear with Kenny Sachs with our mutual friend here. Kenny was on a couple of different times and through that connection. It's interesting how God connects people, you know, divine connections in the kingdom. So, you know, it's fun. Just kind of go back and connect all the dots. That's right. And it's mostly fun for me that you get to tell your amazing story, this God's story, to my audience. And, you know, this will get out there on YouTube and on Rumble. People need, folks, you need to hear this stuff. You know this will encourage you, or if you stay tuned, it will encourage you. So you have a book out. can called Encounter with the Healer.

So before we get into the story of what that you're going to tell us, what led you to write the book, Encounter with the Healer. You have a podcast called Encounters with God, but the book is Encounter with the Healer. What led you to write that? Yeah. So Eric, when I finally got out of the hospital and I was at home recuperation. and I recounted the experience that God gave me during really one particular night.

I was there for 30 days, and I was in my study, and I just couldn't shake it. I felt like I had to get it out of me. I had to tell people. I had to write the story. I didn't care if anybody read it or not. I knew that the Lord and my wife would peek her head in the study, and she'd say, what are you doing? I said, I'm writing my testimony of what the Lord did, God's miraculous deliverance during my COVID-19 experience. And she was like, oh, my gosh, please, no, no, no, that was the worst time in our lives.

I don't want to relive that. Don't do it. And, you know, but I just couldn't let it go. Well, I want to say that I'm glad the Lord pushed you because, listen, I get ticked off. Keith knows me for years. I get ticked off when I hear Christians to tell me some insane, amazing story. And they go, oh, no, no, I don't want to talk about that publicly. I don't want to write that down. What is wrong with you, folks? God gave you that experience to bless others.

And it is beautiful. And many will be blessed. They'll be blessed right now when they hear the story. They'll be blessed when they read the book encounter with the healer. People, we need to be fed this. You're not going to get this on NBC. So let's get into it. First of all, give us your background.

Who are you? What's your story before this happened to you a few years ago? Yeah, so I'm a founding partner of 29-11 wealth advisors. I'm married. I have one child, you know, walk with God a number of years. I have a bachelor's degree in theology. I have a master's degree in theology. I have, you know, all of the different certifications for licensing with the SEC to, you know, help people with their investments. So that's who you are and what happened a number of years ago. Now, you're in Texas. East Texas, yes, correct.

Okay. And what happened in your life? You mentioned this COVID thing. So just tell us this story if you would. Yeah, yeah. So again, thanks for the opportunity. So January 4th, 2020, folks. I was taken by ambulance to the local hospital.

And immediately I was faced down by four different doctors. These doctors were just convincing me in my weakened state that if I didn't go on a vent that I was going to die. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hold on a second. What brought you to the moment that you had to go to the hospital? It was your home. What happened to you? You had COVID. Yeah, so, yeah, right.

So I was just trying to get to the story quick, Eric, but I had been to the local. No, no, no, no. Take your time. Take a time. I want to hear the whole story. Yeah, please. I had been to the local. I call them a little dock in the box four different times. Okay. I went. They gave me some medication. They sent me home. If you don't feel better in a couple of days, come back. A couple of days I was back. I said, I'm getting worse. They gave me some different medication, you know. And so that happened four different times. The fourth time I was there, a physician that treated me, praise God. He had had a bout with COVID, and he had recovered, and he recognized in me what happened to him. And so he told me, he said, Ken, you're not

leaving this hospital here unless it's by an ambulance, and I'm getting you a room in the local hospital. And so I sat there, you know, COVID was really rampant in the area. I'm sitting there waiting and he's coming back to check on me every hour. And I'm waiting for someone to die so I could get a room, Eric. I literally waited there for about eight hours for someone to die in order for me to get admitted into the hospital. That's how overrun the hospitals were here in East Texas. So when the room opened up, you know, there I was wheeled out in a wheelchair. I'm on oxygen at this point. and I know it's bad, you know. So when I get there, you know, four doctors are waiting for me.

And you said that they were trying to convince you, you need to go on a ventilator. Now, as soon as I hear that, I get scared, because I feel like everybody thought ventilators were a great thing. I remember Donald Trump raving about, we're going to make it more ventilators available. And, you know, and again, what did any of us know? We just think, hey, let's get this done. Let's make it happen. But we now know that when they put you on a ventilator,

that's usually not going to go well. And so did you have a sense of that when they said, we need to get you on a ventilator? Exactly. I had a colleague that actually was in the hospital prior to all this experience, and he was holding his own with COVID. And then they put him on a ventilator, and he was dead within two days.

So that particular incident, made me question it. So I started doing some research. I thought, wow, I thought, you know, I thought, you know, Eric was just hanging in there and all that, and they do this. So I came up with my research, 87% of the people who went on ventilators died. And so while they're sitting there, and I go very soft in the book because I don't want to, you know, come off on the doctor's rough, but it was a very combative conversation. And that's my holy. They were like, we're here to help you.

You don't know how sick you are. You're wasting precious time. You need to sign up and get with the program. And my wife is sitting there. You die quick because we need your bed. Yeah. There you go. Yeah.

And so, I mean, it was like one, two, three, four, and then start back over again. And so I wasn't having any of it. And when I finally said that, it was so combative when I told them, I said, look, And I've got an oxygen, you know, they got me a little tank here. I'm going, I said, everything I've read tells me that 87% of the people who go on vent dies. I said, I may not be the sharpest person with math, but I don't like those numbers. And one by one, and it was combative enough that it spoke to me. It spoke to my spirit.

All right. Now, look, we're going to a break. Sorry, we'll be right back. MyPillows excited to announce they're extending the mega sale on overstock clearance and brand new products.

It's Miracle Monday. I'm talking to Ken Chin, C-H-I-N-N. So we know you're not Chinese, I guess. You live in East Texas, and you're telling us. An unbelievable story. Your book about it is called Encounter with the Healer, how God miraculously pulled you back from death. But what you just said, Ken, it stops me cold.

You said, again, folks, you got to understand there's evil in the world. There is evil in the world, satanic evil, where people will say, you know what, I'm getting a lot of money. money to do this. I'm getting pressure. This is exactly, you know, when people say, how did Nazi Germany? How did that happen? This is how it happened. Where you get satanic evil on the one hand, and then you get people participating with it on different levels, saying, you know what, for my job, I better keep my mouth shut. I better go with the program. I better, you know, I want to going to feed my family. So, you know, if some people die, so what? Well, God is a judge. But you're telling me that I said, why would these

doctors who they hear you say 87% of the people go on ventilators die and they're pushing and pushing and pushing as hard as they can with a patient who can barely breathe that they're pushing you and you said that for everyone who goes on a ventilator they get paid how much like what and why is that yeah the federal the federal government at this time was paying the hospitals and the doctors money you know the research is out there they were getting in between 39,000 and $60,000, you know, it kind of was an incentive if you died, it looked like they got a little bonus, a little bump. Can anybody explain that to me, Keith? You have any speculation? Like, I don't, I don't, why? We knew. We knew this was happening. We absolutely knew. And they all, remember, they were being monetized for

distributing the vaccine. They were being monetized every step of the way. And I would hate, hate, hate, to think that it was all part of what the world economic forum and Bill Gates have talked about, which is depopulation. They're trying to thin the herd, and they're given incentive to thin the herd of the useless eaters. Okay, so, but, but again, this is, like, this is hard to process, because you can imagine something is going along with this, which is sheer murder. Well, they don't know it. Kind of just going along with the murder. And they kind of, maybe they don't want to know everything. they just know shut up and go with the program. So you just said, Ken, that they would get $40,000 or close to it for putting somebody on a ventilator,

which is an unbelievable amount of money. Yeah. But you're telling me you know this. Well, it's public knowledge now, Erica. You know, they weren't telling me this when I'm sitting there in front of them, but it's public knowledge. It's out there. Anybody can research.

Okay, so they're pushing this. So this is just utter abdication of, God's calling to be a healer. Utter abdication. These doctors, I cannot imagine how they can look themselves in the mirror. But then you said that whoever dies, they got money? Yeah, like that is like, I think it was like 39,000 if you went on an event and they got paid 60 if you, if you croaked.

So murder is good business. You know, hey, they just got to feed their families, Ken. You know, come on, don't judge. Okay, so you're sitting there and you see what's going on. So what happened now? So do they finally back off? But praise God that you had the backbone in this weakened state to push back on these people. Yeah, I think it was just, I just had such a witness in my spirit.

I wasn't having any of it. And they saw that after 15 minutes of beat down, each one of them taking their turn on me. And then they end up rolling me down the hall. You know, they're like, you know, it's on you. You're responsible for your own death type thing. And I said, hey, I'm good. I said, if I die, I'm going to go out the way I want to. I'm not going on that vent.

And so one by one, they left the room, and nurse rolls me down the end of the hall and closes the glass door, pulls the curtain. And, you know, nobody expected me to make it through the night. I mean, honestly. And what month was this again? This was January. It was January the 4th, 2022. All right. So what happens now? Now, by the way, do you have family around you? What's going on?

Yeah, so my wife was with me. They sent her home. One of the docs knew my primary care physician, and he called my brother and said, you know, if you want to see Ken, get up here real quick, because he's probably not going to be with us in the morning. So my brother, high-tailed it into the hospital. They slid him in there, and he was with me for 30 minutes. and then, you know, when I made my decision, they sent both of them out. I'm rolled down to the end of the hall, and, you know, all alone, it's just me and God. All right. And then what happened? Yeah, so, I mean, the reality really hit me then is, you know, thank God I know the scriptures

because I believe that God uses that and it's God's miraculous power to save me. But the first thing I thought of, Eric, was Jacob. And it says that Jacob rests with God all night long. And I knew that if I went to sleep, you know, I knew I was going to die. I was struggling from my breath, just every breath, you know, we don't think about it just right now as we're talking, but just, you know, every breath I thought this is it. So I just began to pray the scriptures, you know. Psalms 46-1, God, God, you're my ever-present help in my time of need. God, I need you now.

God, I need you like right now, God. And just groaning in my spirit, I was praying Genesis, I think it's 2-7. God, breathe into me the breath of life like you did Adam. Just taking one breath at a time, just going through the whole scripture of the Bible, just moaning and groaning, you know, Romans 8-11, And if the spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwell in you, he will quicken your mortal body. He will give life to your mortal body.

Psalm 73, 25 and 26, my flesh and my heart faileth. I'm like, God, God, I'm weak. My heart is failing. My flesh is failing. God, be my strength. And just in agony and prayer and just, you know, know, just something just rose up in me just to combat this, just to fight this. And really, my, my, my heart's desire was my daughter. I was praying like, God, God, let me live just so

I can see my daughter get more established. God, let me live that I can see her grow in the faith more, that I can see her get more established before I go finish my course. And just, just spent the night and just tremendous prayer and and and and and and and and and and all of these scriptures and then I'm

my mind is I just roll through the whole Old Testament New Testament I'm tapping into Romans 828 I believe it is is you know the spirit itself makes intercession for us which groanings which cannot be uttered and

you know and I'm just like oh Oh, just God. You know, I just couldn't hardly even have the strength to speak. And as I'm sitting there just groaning in the spirit is the middle of the night. I opened my eyes and I see this light all over my body. It's just covering my body and it's just glowing.

a brilliant bright light, and I'm just like stunned looking at this, and it's not like a light bulb that we would, like, turn on. It's like it was like moving, and it like kind of had atoms or so within the light, moving around. And, you know, my first thought, Eric, was, you know, God's not answering my prayers the way I want him to. And I've read all these stories, Keith, about saints that have died. And, you know, they saw the light. light and, you know, they pass on. I see Jesus and that sort of thing. And so I was kind of, you know, resigned in my spirit. Well, you know, this is the end. I'm sitting here. But as I, as the light just began to stay right there with me, you know, 30 minutes or so, I sense this,

just, I say, just pouring down from my head, this peace and just this love overcome me. And I'm just sitting here breathing this and kind of the panic, I guess, of thinking this is the end. You know, I finished my course, you know. I began to have this peace, and I just became fascinated with the light. And, you know, and I'm not asking God for a sign. I'm not anything like that. I'm as shocked as probably people, your audience that's hearing this, but it's true. And back it up with scripture. I mean, you know, 1 John 4-8, we all know that God is love. but turn your Bible back a few pages, and it says God is light. Light is part of God's eternal being in essence. So, you know, it's not like some far out deal. You know, when Moses went on the mountain,

Keith, his faith shone. When Stephen was being stone, he was lit up. People said, oh, my gosh, he looks like some brilliant angel here. When Jesus was on the Mount of Transfiguration, you know, again. So we see this, it's biblical. It's not something that you have to take your head off and, you know, become a kook to know that these experiences are real. Hang on, folks. This is Miracle Monday. We'll be right back. Welcome back to Miracle Monday.

I'm talking to our new friend. Ken Chin has a book out called Encounter with the Healer where he tells the story that he's telling us right now. Okay, so this is clearly supernatural. You feel the supernatural love of God. You see the light. You know you're experiencing a miracle that God is with you. You assume you're dying. And who's to say you weren't dying?

It sounds like you were dying. You feel God's presence. What happens at this point? So, yeah, I just, as the light is surrounding my body, I just begin to just have a peace about me. And this light, the presence of God, stayed with me about 30 minutes. And during this time, I'm just like just breathing and just the wonder.

I couldn't keep my eyes off of the light and my body. And again, the scriptures are all rolling through my mind about God being light. You know, there's no darkness in him, just to have that biblical reference and foundation of what's happening. And so eventually the light went away. And, you know, so I'm sitting there. they're still just groaning in the spirit, just crying out to God still. And I hear this, you know, it was not an audible voice, Keith. It was not an audible voice.

But I hear this in my spirit. And it was just like, you know, my body's so weak. And I say it just like jarred my body. It was like a force field just pounding coming in and ricocheting all inside my body is, you shall live and declare the glory of God. So you hear this in your spirit with clarity and power. You shall live and declare the glory of God. You hear this in your inner man, as we say.

Yes, sir. I hear it the first time, Keith. I mean, Eric, excuse me. And then I hear it again. I'm so shocked at hearing this. It's like you're talking to me right now. now, both of y'all, I hear it again, you shall live and declare the glory of God. And I hear it a third time, just again, it's got more power, more anointing, more authority.

And it gave me that peace, you know, that it's going to be all right. You know, I was still struggling. I was still hanging in there. trying you know i knew if i could make it to the morning that was my whole goal to make it to the morning and so you know a couple hours later i hear that glass door eric i hear that glass door starts shaking oh my gosh jesus and that nurse pulling that glass door back and ripping that curtain back and man just it was like the holy spirit just came into the room you know i just had such as joy And the scripture that came to my mind has a scripture in Psalms that says,

get this, folks, get this. If you're in a situation like this, our soul has escape from the death trap, like the prey that got away. Our soul has escaped from the death trap. And how in the world, you know, it's what you call a rame of word of God. When God picks something out of the scripture that's in there out of nowhere, and he speaks it into your spirit, you know, during this time, and I felt like God was just saying, you know, Ken, you've,

you've rasseled with me, you've prevailed, your soul has escaped this, and it was just so, so beautiful, you know, the scripture talks about, in Psalms, again, thou has turned my morning into dancing. I mean, I had such an energy, it was like an electricity, was flowing through my body, having been through that whole travail of the night. If I could have gotten up, Keith, and danced. I would have gotten up in dance, brother. You know, it says, you know, the joy of the Lord is your strength. And, you know, of course, the nurse is like shock, like, oh, what are we going to do with this guy? He's still breathing. You know, it's just. Now, at that point, just want to ask you,

did you, you, you're still struggling at this point? Or what, what is happening now that it's morning and the nurse comes in? What's, what, where are you physically? Yeah. So I, I am still struggling. But for probably 30 minutes, I just had such a supernatural I felt like electricity was running through my body, Eric, and I just had this surge of power, you know, and I had such joy of the Lord. I had this strength. Now, I did struggle after that. It kind of came and went, and I was actually in the hospital for 30 days, 29 more days after this, but I knew. They didn't know, but I knew in my spirit I was going to live. God spoke it very loudly and clearly.

And God will do this for us. He will do this for us. He will encourage us in a way that you cannot shake it. You heard it in your inner man powerfully. Nobody could, you know, argue you out of that. You knew God spoke this to you. He showed you these miracles with the light and the feeling. And, you know, and at that point, nothing matters.

You know what God has said. And if God is God, which he is, that's it. That settles it. And so obviously you're in there for a long time after, but you knew that God had determined you're going to live. And guess what? You did. Here you are talking about it. And you've written a book about it called Encounter with the healer.

So, I mean, keep going. Is there anything else you need to tell us? Because I've got questions and things. Yeah, I mean, I can keep going all day long. I don't know, you know, your program's 30 minutes. But, you know, I think just to kind of give another biblical foundation to, you know, I think just to kind of give another biblical foundation to, to it. You know, Judges 613 says, if, you know, if God be with us, Gideon is speaking here, if God be with us, where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of? You know,

so it really, in the Hebrew mindset, they could not really separate God from miracles. And by the way, your book's great. And you trace it throughout the scripture. So when Nicodemus comes to Jesus at night in John chapter 3, verse 2, he uses those same four words. Nicodema says, we know you're a man sent from God, for no man can do these miracles except God be with him, those same four words. Hold on a second. We're going to continue, folks. This is wonderful.

Don't go away. Folks, welcome back. It's Miracle Monday. I'm having the joy of speaking with our new friend Ken Chin, who is telling us just a crazy story. I mean, you ought to be dead. God had a purpose for you to live. the way he's spoken into your soul and you knew.

You absolutely knew. Folks, you can't make this stuff up. You can't wish it. When this kind of stuff happens, I've had similar things. It's like, it's over. You know, you know God has said it. God said you are going to live and you're going to declare his glory. You did live and you're declaring his glory on this program.

You wrote a book about it called Encounter with the Healer. God even pushed you to do a podcast. When did that happen? Was that part of this? So after I wrote the book, I became a guest on several people that have podcast. And, you know, I'm a music guy. You see all these guitars behind me. I don't do podcast. So I'm not going to pastors. I'm like, hey, Pastor Keith or, you know, Pastor Eric, man, it's incredible among people you can reach with Jesus on these podcasts. And, you know, they weren't having it. And I was like, hey, I'll help you. I'll buy the equipment. I'll set you up. I'll get you lights, whatever, if you need some cameras. Man, you're missing an opportunity.

We don't have to raise $5 million. You can go into your room, open your laptop, and you can reach the world. And if just one person would have said, hey, yeah, I'm all in, Ken, help me. I wouldn't have started my podcast. But so after months of no, I'll just let it sit. and, you know, God began to stir me that there's something here. There's something here. And so I began the podcast encounters with God.

And really, I've been into contact really with authors. And it's just blown my mind in two years that we've been doing this. I've just been so honored to talk to some of the most brilliant minds, you know, all over the world who have been guests on the podcast. and it's just God has just done a tremendous work now. It's funny now, Eric, all those pastors who wouldn't buy into it, they're like, man, you see who Ken's recent guest was? She was. He had Art Polasky in Canada on there.

Oh, man, you know, Ken had Justin Breyerly from England on. Or, you know, Ken had Lucas Miles on, and on and on, you know. So now they're starting to pay attention. but uh well you understand we're living in revival we're seeing revival the things are happening then the media will not report on any of this stuff but things are happening and what happened to you let's just do the math why did this happen why does god do what he does well in part it was to give you a platform to talk about him to talk about what he has done in your life it is not deniable and there are a lot of people that they don't want to hear this but ladies and gentlemen yeah god is real god loves you

God does miraculous things. He does miraculous things the way he wants to do them. He doesn't always do it the way we want. I've prayed a million times. Nothing happens. You know, God does miraculous things, but not, you know, he's not a gumball machine where you put in the quarter, you say the magic prayer, and it happens. God is sovereign. There's a mystery.

We have to be comfortable with that. But what the scripture says is true. And the idea that these things happen, I've experienced the miraculous. I wrote a whole book called Miracles because I said, people need to know. How many Christians do I know that they don't walk in this kind of stuff? They've got some kind of, you know, very theological understanding and they're very kind of uncomfortable with this kind of stuff. And I want to say, that's not good.

God wants us to know he is alive. He is speaking to us. Sometimes he does it dramatically. Sometimes it's more subtle. But what happened to you, this is dramatic. You ought to be dead. all the professional doctors with eight years of medical school apiece declare you dead. You're not going anywhere.

Goodbye. We're not responsible. We want to put you on a ventilator to make sure you die. And God gives you this gift. And now through you, Ken, the whole world gets to hear what God did in your life. I mean, there are many stories like this, but it's such, it's just a beautiful, beautiful thing. So are you spending more of your time now talking about God than you were before this? I mean, I know you were a serious Christian, but how has this radical, miracle experience affected your life?

Yeah, I mean, you can't come away but be marked, just like Jacob had a limp the rest of his life. You know, when you go through something like this and you stay up all night and you wrestle with God and God, you know, gives you signs and wonders and speak. to you by the spirit, gives you a ram of word, a confirmation that you're going to live. You are a changed person. You cannot walk away from that. And so, yes, even though, you know, I was a man of faith, my level of commitment and knowing the brevity of life, knowing that I was one breath away from death all night long, has given me such a greater appreciation and a greater urgency to share the message of Christ with the world, with people I'm around. And yeah, it just, I say this.

I wouldn't want anybody to go through that, but it was the worst thing. I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's so precious to me. I wouldn't trade it for anything. And Ken, if I could, if I could just highlight, for those listening, we've obviously been blessed to hear this. But Ken, your handling of the scriptures is such a central part of this story, that you are obviously well read in the scriptures, and those scriptures came and gave you you life in that moment. And that's why we have to be people of the word.

Well, I thank you for that, Keith. And I've been asked several times, you know, what really, you know, of course it was all God, but, you know, thy word, have I hidden my word. heart. Not just to we sin. And when Satan came at Jesus, he couldn't say, you know, hey, you know, let me go to the temple and pick up a scroll. No, bam. He said, it is written. So we need that word of God so we can speak it forth. It gives life. Well, the website that you're doing now, people can find you at encounters with God. Your name Ken Chin. That's two ends in chin and the website is encounter or the podcast is encounters with God. The book is Encounter with the healer where you recount the story you've been

recounting to us and more. I just want to say because we've got to go. Ken, thank you for being obedient to God and writing down your story and doing what you're doing. Many, many people are going to be blessed through you and are being blessed today through hearing this. God bless you, Ken. Thanks for coming on this program.

Oh, man. Thanks for having me, Eric, and keep up the great work, man. I enjoy all your books. And one day I want you on my program. All right. Well, we will stay in touch. Thank you. Folks, the website or the podcast is Encounters with God and the book Encounter with the Healer. Thanks for tuning in. Folks, welcome back. We're talking about St. Patrick in a few minutes. But I want to trouble you again to join us in the food for the poor. campaign. For some reason, I don't know how these things work. We have over the weeks talking about this only persuaded 44 of you to join us. And I know that more than 44 people listen to the program. So I need your help. We need your help in raising money. These are the poorest of the poor in Central America. And these are, it's literally kids, suffering from malnutrition. So it's, you know, our command in scripture to help the least of

these. It's very clear and simple. This is one of those cases, which is real simple. Some things are not simple and people argue about it. But this, I think everybody can agree that it's incumbent on us to feed the poorest of the poor who can't feed themselves, where children are suffering from malnutrition. So in order to do that, you can do a couple of things. You can do a couple of things. We have a phone number and we have a website. So our website is metaxis talk.com. And you'll see the banner. It says feed their future.

MetaxistalkisTalk.com feed their future. There's a phone number 844-864-4673, 844-863-4673. We're trying to persuade everybody to give $100, which feeds a kid for a year, literally feeds a child for a year. 844-863-4673. 844-8663-4-6-7-3. The website is metastalk.com. Metaxistalk.com.

If you want to go there, you'll see the banner. And you can follow the links. Or you can text my name, my last name, Metaxus, to 51555. Text Metaxus. to 515-5-5-5-5. Text metaxis to 5-1-55-5-5. And a few other things before we go to the break. But I want to say that the cruise,

a couple of friends of ours who were in Austin, Texas, contacted me yesterday, or was it said, I don't know, was this weekend, and said, we want to go on the cruise, and we just went to the link and it says it's sold out. It is not sold out. So I'm not sure what's going on, Inspiration, who runs this. You can contact them directly.

But if you go to the website, Ericmetaxis.com slash cruise, ericmetaxis.com slash cruise. If you click on it, there's a phone number you can call. If it says sold out, it ain't sold out. And I'm not sure. The best thing there is to call the number. it's 844-8082058, 844-808-2058. That's the number to call, and they'll take care of you. That's the best way.

You have it to me again, 844-808-2058. 8-4-8-2058. 844-8. If you want to contact the folks who are running this cruise that we're going to be doing in June to the Greek Islands, you can dial directly 844-808. 2058 or just go to Ericmettaxas.com slash cruise and you'll see it there. But we really want to get the word out because before they really do shut it down and get sold out, I want everybody who wants to go to go. And it just gets more exciting the more I find out. I was just the other day with my daughter looking at the excursions that you do. I mean, oh my gosh, this is, anyway, we'll be talking more about that. And I want to encourage you again, folks, food for the poor.

We really need your help seriously. So please go to metaxis talk.com. You'll see the banner. MetaxistalkisTalk.com. Please do it today, folks.
