Real Talk. Real Talk. Real Talk. Real Talk. Real Talk. I knew what was just going on two seconds before we went live. It's a mess. I have all this next to me today.

I'm stealing your cup. Okay. But there's nothing. Oh, she's going to put water in it. Welcome to the Hope Hotline. We're a little crazy. It's been a fun-filled two days for the conference. Great time, great time.

If you haven't made it yet, there's still... What are you doing? Checking your mic. Are we saying we have no... No, no, it's there. It's quiet. Fix my hair, my front. Hold on.

I can't ever do sideways. I didn't even see myself before we came on. It's going to be a mess. That's all I can't ever do sideways. There you go. I didn't even see myself before we came on. It's going to be a mess. That's all I can say. Can they hear us? It's looking good. If you can hear us, oh my gosh.

Hey, Sean, let us know. Can you hear us? Stephanie, can you hear Hope? Faithful watchers. Yeah, faithful watchers. We love you guys. Please let us know. Can you hear me? Checking. One two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. It looks good. It looks good. I mean, I maybe shouldn't have come live today.

No, we can do this. But I really wanted to come live today because even though we're going, I might be able to fall asleep right here on this table. I am tired, but it's all about you people. That's all I can say. We're strong in the Lord, and then the power is might for you. Why are you looking at me like that? It's all about Jesus. Oh, gosh. Truth.

Okay. that it's all about Jesus truth okay so if you haven't been here yet if you haven't made it then you don't know what you're missing but I'm just telling you there's tonight which is going to be phenomenal and then there is tomorrow which is going to be lots of fun I just told Adalis today she had no idea. What'd she say? She's like, that is awesome. She's super stoked. Someone asked me what the secret was and I said, I can't tell you. I said, you'll never guess it in a million years. They were hoping it was

Pastor Adonica. I said, no, I'm sorry. It's not. I mean, who wouldn't? Lower your standards slightly. That's what I told them. Literally. Yeah, lower them a lot. A lot. I told them. Yeah, lower them a lot. I wish. But the woman is busy. And I'm not going to bug her.

Yeah. She's got a lot going on. She told me if she could, but she never knows what Pastor Rodney is going to do. She basically said to me, I have no idea. I want to. Don't worry about it. Just keep going. You're doing great. I want to, Don't worry about it. Just keep going. You're doing great.

I want to, but I don't know. And that's life. Can you tell us what to wear? What is that? Can you tell us what to wear? For what? Tomorrow. You can wear whatever you want.

I don't care. I know what I'm wearing. I know what Heather's wearing. And I know what Tracy's wearing. But that's about it it Logan's dying over there I can tell she is but you know what Logan

Logan doesn't know you know what Logan this is payback you know what this is payback except the thing is is I have to wait almost

well nine to ten months to find out your secret that you refuse to find out she I hate you refuse to find out. I hate people like her. They get pregnant. They don't find out what the sex is.

And they make you wait until they give birth. Who does that? This girl. Only weirdies. Not me. Only weirdies do that. People who are mean and unkind. I don't like people like that.

So guess what? Logan's going to be the very last to know. Oh, if I have her. Let's blindfold her. Yes. Okay. She doesn't get to know squat

just as a payback for making me, punishing me. Yeah. I love finding out what's people's children, the sex of the children. For me,

I'm like, they're always like, but I want a surprise. Like, you're flipping going to have a surprise halfway through when you find out what the sex is. You still don't know what it looks like. I mean, 3D is pretty dang good. But I'm just saying, you still don't know what it's going to look like.

So the surprise is what it looks like. Stay strong, Logan. Stay strong. Two. Two surprises. And a very long, tedious process of cooking. Okay? I'm just saying. Oh, my gosh. Give a girl long, tedious process of cooking. Okay? I'm just saying.

Give a girl or throw a girl a bone. Just give me the sonogram. Oh, my gosh. No, she'll know what it is. I'll know what it is, and I will say nothing. Give us any of the genitalia part. Oh, they don't even have it. But I can give you the one with the butt.

That'll work. All by the butt. That may do give you the one with the butt. That'll work. That may do it. Or the face? No. No. That's not going to help me. It depends on the structure of the buttocks. Okay. Yeah. Give it to me and Heather. Heather and I will dissect that sucker.

And we will know what it is like that. Right? I'm team pink. Are you? No. I'm team blue. I'm team pink, so. Are you? No, I'm team blue. I'm team pink. I'm team blue. Oh, my gosh. I didn't know that about you.

I didn't know that either. But I'm team blue all the way. I might have to pray this one through. Norma's team blue, too. Maybe I'm praying my prayers are much stronger than hers. I don't know. I don't know. You're pretty good at that. I don't know. I don't know. You're pretty good at that.

I don't know if there, but I have, I have been given a word on what she's having. I just want her to have a girl. Neither have I. But you know, it's like that song. I got the power.

Will they block me now? Because I did that. Probably. Oh my gosh. They blocked us because of music last night. So partially blocked. Oh, it last night. So partially blocked. Oh, it's ridiculous. So if you haven't come, come tonight. You will not be disappointed. Pastor Dallas is going to come tonight and she's got a word for everybody and it's going to be

good. Of course, there'll be a great word, but there'll be lots of laughs too. She's always, she's always good for a laugh. And Magalas had us rolling this morning. I nearly died of laughter. I looked over at Heather and Heather was, she's the best. I almost fell out of my chair. I know me too. But Adalas almost fell out too. Like, I mean, she literally makes her own sister cry of laughter. She does. It's so funny. She's something. If you are not, like, I never plug social media at all because I don't even plug social media for myself.

I don't plug for people to, like, like me on Instagram or Facebook. I probably have the lowest amount of people that I'm friends with or that are friends with me because I just don't I don't care I haven't even been on social media and I don't know how long I actually for the conference I've been sharing on my story but over it I hardly ever do it it's not that common and um but I'm just telling you go to Magalus Love she's only on Instagram but if you look at Magalus Love and and and become what is it a follower on Instagram become a if you look up Magalas Love and become, what is it, a follower on Instagram? Become a follower of her.

You will not be disappointed daily. There will be something that you get a great belly laugh from because she never disappoints me. No, she doesn't. What did you think about her title? It was great. Oh my gosh. Your faces the title the title like she was very holy and taught about inspecting your fruit especially pears she said grow a pear and then she put up a picture of a pair yes she did grow a pair yes she did growing

fruit planting a seed and growing your fruit get out of the get at you get your minds out of the gutters yeah yeah but i'm just telling you man you want to watch that one it's funny super funny she's she really she really should be on stage somewhere somewhere doing a comedic routine. I kid you not. I would go. I would go. She brings it every time. She does. She never disappoints.

Not once. Not once. Okay, so tonight, what are you laughing at? Everyone's just putting pear emojis. We got pear emojis everywhere. Oh my gosh, it's the best.

Does that mean I get to leave? No. No.

I'm just sorry about that, people. Logan, why are you hiding? She's so funny. She called you out because you were talking about her, and she said i'm right in front of you oh oh oh when i was speaking yeah was that this morning yes oh yeah yes it was i couldn't see you yeah she had her hair up she looked like a different person to me i'm like always have your hair up like four feet from her. It's like when you send your husband,

or your husband goes to the refrigerator and can't find the ketchup bottle. And it's right there. It's right inside of you. I can't find it. Well, I'm not in my normal, where I normally sit. You're not where you normally sit. I've never seen you wear a bow this big. Well, this was my, this came in the mail last night.

So this was, this was. Although I do the mail last night. So this was that's what it was. Listen, although I do love the shirt, okay? But I'm just saying, it's a little out of your comfort zone. But you should wear stuff like that because you look good in it. Oh, well, it's because it came last night

and today this was the outfit. Super cute outfit. Butterfly skirt. Like everybody's dressing for the theme. So cute. Yep, I love it. I love it. I love a good theme. It was a great theme.

And the reason you're saying that is because your thought, I mean, I titled it, but she created the theme. Listen, I love a good theme. So, I love when there's themes. So, I appreciate, like, the floral garden theme. fun yeah that was fun that was fun you can do a lot with that you can actually which we've been able to I know and I think everybody's really liked like the decor it's totally different than yeah and the butterflies like they're they're everywhere right now so I've been we even made it easy on. You can go right down to TJ Maxx and there's butterflies everywhere. You know what?

Which is crazy because when we thought of the – or not we. When she thought of that theme, I had no idea that butterflies were so popular. I'm like, how are we going to – what are we going to do? Like how are we going to do this? But she's like, oh, they're popular right now. I'm like, what? So popular. Which made it super easy.

Yeah. Life is good when you go with something that's trending. Yeah. So yeah. We're boring the heck out of everybody right now. 45 minutes in and they are bored stiff. What? I'm having the best time ever. We're only 14 minutes in, not 45 minutes in. I did say 45. I meant 15. We have 45 minutes left. Oh, my gosh. Okay. That's why she's here. Yeah. I need help. I'm literally tired.

I'm not kidding you. Two weeks. We've, like, lived at this church for two weeks. Mm-hmm. I'm tired. Going to... I think my husband... Like, I went to bring him his lunch. He's a man without words. i've been gone a lot i'm like i think he's i think he's about done okay with the whole conference

with the whole podcast can i just get my wife? I wasn't here for his podcast last night. Yeah, that probably he's a creature of habit. Exactly. Like, yep. And he's not like men, some men. And listen, just so you know, guys, if there's any guys watching women will understand this women love to know that their husbands love for them to be around. Yeah. Right? Like Tom has never been one of these guys that wanted to go off on a trip just with the guys. Yeah. He's never been like that. Like he's always been like, if I go somewhere, if I go away with the guys, then you're coming with me.

And he's fine with that, but he ain't going without me. And women love that because then we know like not necessarily that you're number one but pretty much you're number one like you're the one that they want around all the time well tom is like that like he doesn't like he likes me and i love being there all the time yeah but he likes things a certain way yeah and when it veers from that. Tell him where your chair is now. Where's my chair? Yeah, during his podcast. Oh, I'm hidden.

I drive him crazy. This is so funny. But he loves you here. He has to have me here. He has to have me here. I know. He does not like it. I know. So he'll be at his desk.

I used to sit like in his vision. But I'm over there working i'm this is for tom he doesn't watch the podcast he's gonna watch it now tom doesn't watch the podcast that was for you i'll screen record that i will be working and he's a he doesn't he has to have focus he doesn't like distractions at all. So if I tap my toes, if my leg is bopping and you hear him go like this, that's to me. Stop it.

Erin, can we get a new tv thank you only now that we only have five people watching which is logan and and tracy and then three others oh dear lord's mercy seriously come tonight come tonight if you're not registered register okay right. What is your favorite Bible passage or book of the Bible and why? I don't have one. I don't have a favorite at all. I'm not a person with favorites though. I'm going to be honest with you. I've never been a person that says this is just, I have a variety. I've never been, I'm eclectic. I've never chosen one style of music that I absolutely love. I love every, there is probably not one kind of music out there

that I don't know, listen to, and have loved. And you can say, no, you probably, but I'm telling you from bluegrass to reggae to, my son has this, I don't know what it is. It's these Chinese symphony, you know he's weird. This Chinese symphony, like, I don't know what it is. He and one of his coaches, when they're training, they listen to it. Because it's his coach's style music, too, which introduced him.

And they're rolling around to this Asian Chinese voodoo music. I don't know what it is. It's good, though. Like, it's good. Are you laughing because I said voodoo? Chinese people don't do voodoo music i don't know what it's good though like it's good are you laughing because i said voodoo they don't chinese people don't do voodoo but i'm just saying it's good though i love it like when we go to naples and stuff for him to go to his training thingy he just puts that on we just roll down the road but i don't have a favorite. I mean, R&B, rap. All I can think of when you say that is like Chinese restaurant. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Wanton soup? No, the music that they play. Is it like that? No. Okay. Oh, I wish Tommy. Tommy's at your husband's shop right now. We should text him and ask him the style, and then we can play it really quick.

Does somebody have Tommy's phone number? Or somebody, what we need to do is ask Nick. Yeah. Because Nick will ask Tommy, what's the Chinese voodoo music that you play for your mother? And then. Sarah wants to know if you like rap. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, absolutely. I don't like the new rap because it's filthy but like the old rap back in the day like I listen to it all there is from the like the the rap that didn't have vulgarity like Will Smith you know that kind of rap to TLC did you watch

did you listen to TLC heck yeah uh LL Cool J all of that stuff that's I listen to all of that but today

like it's bad like I wouldn't listen to it just for my soul sake it's bad. Like, I wouldn't listen to it just for my soul's sake. It's just nasty, vulgar, using filthy words. Like, I have no, I don't like, see, I don't even like black people using the N-word. I don't like that. We don't say that in my house.

No. I don't like that. Because you know why I don't like that? Is when you call each other that, you're degrading another person. And I don't care if it's acceptable amongst the community. I don't walk around and call her a honky. I don't walk around and call her whitey. Do you know what I'm saying?

I don't think. A honky? Don't you know that's what white people are called? I was thinking cracker. I was thinking cracker. Oh, no. They're honkies, too. I learn something new every day.

Say it. Yeah. That's down in the south. The south. A honky. If you're in the south, you're a you're in the south you're a honky yeah is that we're honky tonk no okay i don't think so we're gonna okay good no i don't call like rednecks rednecks really i mean i talk about it behind their back

but i don't do it to their face. No, I'm just kidding. Listen, I do redneck things, so to each his own, but I'm just saying. Listen, we might be in a class of redneck in our neighborhood. We are. Oh, I'm 100% redneck. 100%, yeah.

Listen, but just because I am doesn't mean I do, you know? Yeah. Well, sometimes I do, but just because I am doesn't mean I do, you know? Yeah. Well, sometimes I do, but not very often. I did call the church rednecks. Because some of them didn't know how to eat just one waffle and chicken. Or use their plate, not their charger. When you have to tell people to take their plate instead of their charger,

you might be a redneck. Yes. Yes. 100%. I'm like, it's pathetic that we're having to tell people not to use their chargers. It's like I've gone to places with Tom, and you know how they have the silverware like this? He always goes for the one right here.

I'm like, dude, have you not ever eaten out somewhere nice? No. He hasn't. But no. I'm like, but I don't like that. I don't like when people call each other, even if it's acceptable. I think there are certain words that are filthy. Yeah. They are just filthy.

And that word is just horrible. And it's throughout all rap along with calling women degradable names, talking about women in a degradable way, talking about each other, you know, talking about violence and promoting it it I just have no time for that that's not entertainment to me if I put on a song I wanted to it doesn't have to be uplifting but it has to be decent like I'm not doing it but because I don't have a favorite I mean I really don't have a favorite food I don't have a favorite I do have a favorite color but outside I don't

have a favorite of anything do you have a favorite I don't think so I've always have a favorite. I do have a favorite color. But outside, I don't have a favorite of anything. Do you have a favorite? I don't think so. I've always said my favorite color is green. But Brinley asked me a couple weeks ago, Mom, what's your favorite color? And I auto just said, oh, it's green. And then I was like, wait, I might not like green anymore. I don't really care.

I don't, I mean, as a child, I loved green. I love green. But now I'm just kind of like I don't know if it's my favorite I like all the colors no I definitely have a favorite color I do jello jello I love I love yellow but because it's happy it's really it's a happy color like it makes you when you see it to me when you see it unless it's like a burnt yellow why are you laughing I'm glad that you clarified when you see it, it's happy because it doesn't make me happy. Oh, yeah.

When I see it, it brings joy. It brings joy. It makes me happy. So you don't have a favorite? No. No favorite book? What was the question? What's your favorite Bible passage?

So you have no favorite verse? I really don't have a favorite verse. You know what I always lean to? I always lean to the promises of God. I always go in that direction. If I was to say that I'm going to have a favorite, it would probably be because, I mean, it would be one of the things that were the promises of God. And the reason I lean towards that is because of either what God did in the Old Testament to save his people, the Jewish people. Like, I love those promises that he made. I love Psalms where David just cried out to God, and he knew who he was to God, or he knew what God was to him.

And then New Testament is always, like, the promises that we have are, and I say this all the time, are far superior in the New Testament versus the Old Testament. But it's because of the purchase of what was done on the cross. And so for me, all those promises, like there's nothing for me that's more important. No biblical passage far outweighs anything that was done on the cross. So anything that Jesus said, did, or promises through that redemptive power, that's always number one to me. I really don't care about it.

I mean, I like the other scriptures, but those are the promises are what I stand on. They make my life work every single day. They are the things that implement my faith to know that whatever I believe for will come to pass. So for me, I just think that's pretty much it because I run to all those scriptures all the time. But you guys have a favorite book, favorite passage? Let's see. I love Romans, like, as a book, the whole book. And then I have a verse in Isaiah that I really love.

Really? Yes. Can we read it to you? Yeah. Okay. Hey, did Nick get back to you? Yeah. Okay. Hey, did Nick get back to you? Wow. Tommy.

Oh, he's supposed to be there at 3.30. I was about to freak out. Thank you, Jesus. Hope, do you have a nickname? That's one of the questions that was asked today. Do I have a nickname? Yeah, do you have a nickname? Growing up, my parents called me Pumpkin, Cupcake, and Hopie.

Hopie. Yeah, all three of us. My mom still does. If I call my mother, normally my mother will answer the phone, hey, Cupcake. They're the only ones that call me that, though. And then there's some people call me Hopie, but very few. Okay. Okay. And will I get some people call me Hopi, but very few. Okay. Okay.

And will I get fired if I read the message version? You're already fired. Yeah. What's the point? You've been fired. I'll be right hiring you. I feel like I have too many strikes at this point. Pretty much.

Okay. So this is Isaiah 43. When you're between a rock and a hard place is the name. And it says, but now God's message the God who made you in the first place Jacob the one who got you started Israel do not be afraid I've redeemed you I've called your name your mind when you're in over your head I'll be there with you when you're in rough waters you will not go down when you're between a rock and a hard place it won't be a dead end because I am God, your personal God, the holy of Israels, your savior.

I paid a huge price for you, all of Egypt and rich crush and Seba thrown in. That's how much you mean to me. That's how much I love you. I'd sell the whole world just to get you back. Trade the creation just for you. I like that. And did you read the message version because you liked that version the best? I read the message version because when I was doing a devotional, I had this thing called Solo. And it's literally just verses in it, but it's the message version. So you like open up page one and that's what it was.

So that was, I read that. And I was like, oh my gosh, he loves me so much. And I needed to hear it in that moment. So that's just, it's just a my gosh, he loves me so much. And I needed to hear it in that moment. So that's just, it's just a special one for me that I really love. And it just is a little bit, it's pretty close to like NIV and stuff, but I don't know. There was something about that one that I really loved. I love for me, you know, I love the New Living Translation. That's another one that I don't, I don't usually quote from very much because it's better to just stick with New King James

because it's very close to the true word of God. But it's better than NIV is the New Living Translation, which is what a lot of people could go to if they want to not go woke. But from what I understand, the new living also went woke which is very disappointing i know logan do you got one you're new in this i know but you might have one the book of james james one has been popping up a lot this year for me just that when trials come it's a good sign um and then i'm kind of biased i like the story about caleb that's why i'm naming my baby caleb i didn't even know what you were naming your baby i know and that's why

you blew my mind last night whenever you spoke about him and then you mentioned me was that the original name it's always been the name? Yeah. You never told me. So how's it going to be if it's a girl? We'll give her my middle name. Which is? Justine. Oh, cool. We'll call her CJ. Well, her name's Logan. Yeah. Well, I like Justine though. No, I know. I'm just saying like it's Logan. I know men that have. I still love have logan yeah i love justine if it's a girl oh and you'll call that's why you're saying that yeah okay gotcha yeah i was wondering where the c came in hey i was like let me let me inform her what we just talked about real quick thank you heather thank you thank you he you i didn't realize she missed it so thank you heck yeah i missed it went right over my head i'm on no sleep right now people okay okay

come on you have a pass you have a pass but again you guys are worth it i might only have like 10 viewers right now those 10 they're worth it okay next question ready in jesus's adult life joseph is not mentioned in the bible as being present but mary is why well because some people have different theories back in biblical times girls would get married very young, as early as 14 years of age. Men could be much older. It's just like when Ruth married Boaz. Boaz was a lot older than Ruth, even though she had already been married, but her husband passed away while she was young.

So age differences were definitely there um so some believe that joseph was older significantly older but some but well that some believe he was significantly oh you got the name oh is that what you're texting see i'm not the only one asleep okay i'm just gonna open but you but here's the thing i would tell you this if she hadn't known that you were naming your baby caleb justine oh it would have gone right over her head too i on the other hand am fresh to this and I am partially asleep. That's okay. Go ahead, girl. So because Joseph was considered to be older, they never say why he's out, but it is thought to be that when Jesus started his ministry, he was 30 years old. They don't talk about Joseph at all when Jesus starts his ministry. It's only his mother.

It is believed the last time you hear about Joseph was when Jesus was 12 years old. Like when he was found in the temple, they had to go back and get him because he was found in the temple. And I'm just going to scroll up. And the other thing is, if he was alive when Jesus was on the cross, then Jesus would have never said to John, take care of my mother. As the firstborn child,

the firstborn child was to make sure that the mother was cared for, and it didn't necessarily have to be by a family member. That job of the firstborn was to find a home and someone to care for the mother if they passed away and the mother was still alive. So when Jesus told John, take care of my mother, he was actually doing what he was obligated to do as the firstborn son for the family. And so that's the reason why John took Mary home and she lived with him until she passed away. And John took that role very seriously. So the reason why is he had to have been passed away. Otherwise, Jesus would have

never had to give John his mother to care for. You got anything to add? No, I didn't know that. Oh, cool. Well, that's that then. Okay, let's see. We have 22 minutes. I'm telling you, I am off my game. Let me see. Next year, let's not do a podcast on Friday. No, I want to. I want to. I have.

Everybody's loving it. We have a lot of comments today. So you keep doing your thing over there. Yeah, but I have 22 minutes left in people. They're loving it. I have like two more questions. It might're loving it. They're laughing. I have like two more questions. It might be a problem. No, no.

Listen. It might be a problem. I will start. I have questions prepared. Okay. Before we start on the next question. Yeah. Is Tommy arrived?

He's there. Tommy's there. He's there. You guys have to hear this music. Why don't just call chinese voodoo i'm not gonna i could he'll answer ask him for the chinese voodoo music right now tommy will tell him it's you guys got to hear this it's like how can we make them hear the music yeah i can do it but we'll have to do it quickly because we don't want to get partially banned again okay so how can we make them hear the music yeah I can do it but we'll have to do it quickly because we don't want to get partially banned again okay so we can we do it 10 seconds yeah wait about two minutes 10 seconds one more we can do it how are you gonna hear it I know I know

yeah you're not um I have a question what look at her face I don't know if I want your questions what you do okay is this your question or is this somebody else's question? It's not my brain question. It's just a question. Why do round pizzas come in square boxes? Did you look up that question to brain twist me? It's not a brain twister. I think that's a great question.

I'm serious. They're easier to stack. The boxes are easier to stack. But then why is. Why? Why? They're easier to stack. The boxes are easier to stack. But then why is the pizza? Why would that be? Why would they be easier to stack? And like fold up. How is that possible?

You know how hard it would be to fold a cardboard box to make a circle versus a square? Like they fold those boxes themselves there. No. So when you go around and you have to. The making of the boxes makes sense. Yeah. They have to fold them all and you have to. The making of the boxes makes sense. Yeah. They have to fold them all and stack them all. So that's the only reason they put round pizzas in a square box.

That may not be the reason, but that's where my brain went. Does that make sense? 100% that makes sense. That has to be that. That has to be the answer. That has to be the answer. Thank you. I appreciate that.

It was bothering me. God bless Tracy. The second I saw it. If that's all that you have to bother you, we're doing great. I'm done now. I'm good. All's well with the world with Tracy. She now has the biggest question of her life answered.

I was. You know, losing sleep at night and everything. Yeah, we're... Okay. Oh, dear Lordsy. Call him. Okay. oh dear lordsy call him okay what is one question you want to know the answer to when you get to heaven and i have this is blank because i don't have a question for when i go to heaven outside of the fact is is and i know this answer so i don't really want to ask it, is did I do a good job?

Okay. Did I make you proud? Something like that. But if I make it to heaven, I think I don't care. When you make it to heaven. Well, that's true. I mean, are you questioning? Do we need to go deeper on that right now?

Do I need to go and make a stand and proclamation with Adalas tonight? When you see hope at the altar, you'll know what's going on. I'm only doing the conference. The person doing the conference needs Jesus. Oh, my gosh. When I make it to heaven. Thank you. I don't really, I mean, I probably won't even ask that because I don't plan on being like one of these dentists that barely gets into dentistry

and like is the lower level. Like I plan on like doing, if I'm doing it, I'm doing it to the fullest. Right. So even it, I mean, the goal is well done, good and faithful servant, right? That's my goal. That's what I long to hear. And then, oh, Tommy. Oh, Tommy sent something. Eternal youth. Open.

Okay, here it is. Hold on. Oh, God bless my son. Okay. I can't. Well, is that my son. Okay. Forward her that. I can't. Well, is that the, do we want to do it that way? So she might not have Spotify though.

And then. It's called the, it's called Eternal Ruth. Eternal Youth. Eternal Youth. Is it called Rude? The song? It, I don't know. It looks like this.

I sent it to you. Okay. Thank you. Now it's going to be a big disappointment to people when they hear it. Possibly. Because I've made such a big deal out of it. But for me, like I literally don't have one question that I want to ask an apostle or a disciple or whatever, whatever you want to call him. I don't have like Abraham, Isaac.

I don't have any questions for any of them. For me, like I think when I see Jesus. You're not going to care. I don't care. We're not going to have questions. No, I just, but your question was good. Like when I asked you this like I mean that makes more sense to ask that question to like want to go to somebody and say

like like I love this Jesse DePlantis said in his vision which I think is pretty interesting I'm like that's a good question but I don't even know if I'd ask it, but he asked Paul, were you ever married? And Paul pretty, pretty much told him none of your business, none of your business. Um, but I think you're just being all of the whole entire place. But Heather's, when I asked Heather this question,

um, before the podcast, yours was good. Like, what did you say? What is one question you want to know the answer to when you get to heaven? Do you remember what you said?

I think I do. Who in my life that I was a part of did I have the biggest impact on? Is that good? To get them, like, saved and into the kingdom. Or just, maybe you didn't save them, but maybe you, like, played a huge part in being the disciple or like making that's

like that's a good question i mean i actually probably would want to know that to a certain extent but really you'll probably see because even someone that you didn't know who it was you might assume that it's somebody that yeah like close to you but it could be someone that you talk to at the grocery store you talk to who knows or maybe you never you never even talk to you but it could be someone that you talked to at the grocery store you talked to who knows or maybe you never you never even talked to them but they watched you from afar and changed their life yeah yeah i just got goosebumps yeah yeah like oh my gosh that's what i was thinking when you said you never talked to them i was thinking there's people that watch you from afar like in your job like when you your other job you've worked with a lot of people. Like you do not know who was watching you, what you said, what you did, that totally.

Someone's always watching. Somebody is always watching. That is so true. I never even thought about that. Girls, do you have a question? Logan has a question. No, no, no, not question. Do you have an, I'll answer that question.

But do you have a question that you would ask? Yes, Logan. Logan has a good one what is the question you might want to just punch Adam in the face though yes he's the one that she's been like shut up Eve yeah Eve once again what the heck weak men not being the priest of their home grow a pair yeah grow a pair and i mean that in the fruit most fruitful way in the most fruitiest way i mean it not gay wise is that why i mean like fruity as an apple or a pear is that why the underwear are called Fruit of the Loom? I'm just saying.

Things that make you go, hmm, I don't know. Magalas, do you know? She's probably napping right now. She's smart. That's a great thing. Is that why, Tracy? Since we answered the question about the pizza box, is that why they do Fruit of the Loom?

I don't feel like I got a full answer from the pizza box, because Hope, you didn't give your perspective. I agreed with Heather wholeheartedly. Okay. Hey, I think I have an idea for the song, too, since we're all over the place today. And the question refers to clothing, fruit of the womb. I don't know.

Fruit of the loom. Fruit of the... It Fruit of the womb. It has to be it. It has to be it. I would have never thought about that. I wouldn't either until today. But you know what? I haven't even thought of fruit of the womb for so long because who buys those anymore?

Like Hanes and Under Armour and Calvin Klein, they've taken over. Yeah. So tighty-whities are a thing of the past. Unless maybe you're in your 80s or something. I don't know. That's true. Or you're my dad. Oh, my.

But how old's your dad? 60-something? Yes. Yeah. But he's country. I don't know if they even make Under Armour where he lives. Probably not. No.

Mm-mm. Okay, what do we got going over there? According to Wikipedia, the one with the apple emblem proved most popular. Knights thought the label would be perfect symbol for his trade name, Fruit of the Loom, an expression referring to the clothes paralleling the phrase Fruit of the Womb, which can be tracked back to the Bible, Psalm 127.3. That's like the first thing that pops up when you Google it. the thing is is fruit if it's fruit of the womb nevermind I'm I know okay I know forget it that's yeah that's so there's children that's not happening

I don't really think everybody wants to hear it I don't know but do we have the music um so my thought is if I play it through my mic, then it probably won't boot us. Do it. Can they hear it, though? If they can hear me, they should be able to hear it. Can we hear it? Yeah. Yes.

I love this music. That's not the right song. Fast forward. That's not. That's not the right song. For me, this is weird. Fast forward. Okay. That's not, that's... Isn't that good? Does not make me want to work out or anything.

No, they're actually grappling. I'm going to be better at this. No, grappling. We could work out to this during our stretches. I'm just going to cramp. I'm not kidding you I might stop oh boy give me water

oh my gosh alright wow does anybody have any other questions because I don't really want to answer this question that I have next we got 10 minutes I might just do the salvation call and call it a day. Make this a shorty one. I found out that honky is definitely a derogatory noun for a

white person. I told you. Not that I doubted you. I told you. I got called a honky before. And also, Erin said that you are definitely what's the other word for Anki? that's not bad cracker? no what's the other one? redneck you're redneck because you have chickens

that's true so he called you out for it I guess that means I'm a redneck too listen I was implying like some of the other things that we've done in our neighborhood. Like moving an entire chicken coop from two miles

down the road on the back of the trailer while holding it up. And walking it down the road on the back of the trailer. A bunch of us. Like seriously. We took up the whole entire road with that thing. We did. How about when we moved the tree from your yard to my yard?

There's this tree that's a weed. It's not a weed. I treated it like a weed because I chopped it down every year. It's actually a very expensive tree. That was growing in my backyard. And I couldn't kill it. And she was like, I want the tree. I was like, okay the tree i was like

okay it's like this big because i chopped it down every year no it was bigger than that so we get so we get when we moved it it was huge it was big so we get trisha's husband nick to bring his back to his backhoe rip it out of her backyard we had to take fencing down rip it out then we take it and we drive it down the road which she was right next to me but it was quite a distance uh drive it down the road to me as we as dirt is it's being drug down the road and dirt and root is being like i'm like oh my gosh i literally said we are so redneck right now oh my gosh it lived it's beautiful it's flourishing in my front yard but we've done some pretty like I don't know not so like killing chickens in our backyard yeah can we slaughter chickens that's true

yeah to that category that's true slaughtering of the chickens ourselves was there's probably lots of stories that put us in that category just perfectly yeah that's true that's that's a fact jack not changing no it's not changing but on that note for all the rednecks out there yeah we're with you but but but here's the thing it's redneck is bad i think but it's still not as bad as being called a honky and the other word I'm glad I know honky is bad because I'd never heard or like calling somebody like white trash and stuff like that right see calling people white trash I don't even like that yeah I think that that's not do I know people that are like that heck Heck yeah. But you should never call them

or talk to them like that. I just think that, again, words matter. And so if you say somebody's that, then not that they become that, but they identify as that. You know what I'm saying? I think you've got to be careful with your words. Even if

like identify that as that yourself. Don't call yourself call yourself that like i don't like that so all righty rose seven minutes and we are done chrissy chrissy says can we have more sleep deprived podcasts chrissy like w yeah i don't think so i don't have it but listen i wanted to do the podcast i know i wanted to do the podcast. I know. I wanted to do it. I know. So there was no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

We're having desserts tonight. Oh. Oh. That's right. Not chocolate fountain. Yeah. No. Okay.

Which was amazing. I heard. Yeah. I liked the chocolate fountain. I mean, I got two pieces of stuff, but I thought the chocolate was good. That's because I accidentally was eating off your plate when I was bringing it to you. So you had more when I first made it. And then I had less.

And then you had less. Did you have a strawberry? I did. Oh. Sorry. I literally was walking and I ate it and I was like, oh, that was for home. Sorry. She's like, do you want me to get you a plate of food?

I'm like, yeah, that would be good. I'm coming off my fast, right? Yeah, that would be good. 605 rolls around. I'm like, I'm want me to get you a plate of food? I'm like, yeah, that would be good. I'm coming off my fast, right? Yeah, that would be good. 6.05 rolls around. I'm like, I'm hungry. You know what? I'll go get it. She's really, really busy.

I go get my food. I come back. I mean, you don't need to get me a plate of food. She's like, oh, it's on my desk. All right. So she ate my food then, too. My plate that she had on her desk was, yeah. So she ate that, too.

And then she ate her plate that she made herself. desk was yeah so she ate that too and then she ate her plate that she made herself and then there was another plate after that i ate so you ate three plates of food i did i did so the desserts go back yes we're having mini can i tell what heck yeah mini cheesecakes they're good oh my god if anyone knows Chris from here, I won't say her last name. She's so good. They're amazing. We had a little sample. Thank you, Chris, by the way.

I already told her. A sample last night. I have some. And we have some in the refrigerator, so everybody that wants one in here can have them. And then we're having her famous peppermint bark. Oh, come on. Her famous lemon squares. So good.

Hold on. And then Sarah is making. Pops. Cake pops and mini pies, bite-sized pies. Oh, my gosh. And then we also have cream puffs. Oh. Who made the cream puffs?

I think Sam's Club. I knew it. Oopsie. Shouldn't have asked that question. But they were so good. They were from the chocolate fountain. We just had a bunch that we put in the fridge. Oh. But they were so good. They were from the chocolate fountain. We just had a bunch that we put in the fridge. Oh, okay.

But they're so, we've had several cupfuls between the chocolate fountain and today. They're amazing. Take one dessert. You had some. Yeah, so good. They were so good. There we go. Okay, so that's tonight.

Yeah. That's, so doors open at 6. The desserts start at 6 30 6 i thought we didn't do anything until doors open as soon as the doors open sweet you get to eat for an hour so if you're here at 6 45 sugar high you may not get dessert if it's anything like this morning and the people with their waffles and chicken you can i can promise you that's probably gonna be the case nobody will eat tonight because i busted their chops that's true that's true everybody's gonna only be one yep good i gotta make sure i get there there's leftovers

we get to take them home they They'll be there for Sunday. We really won't get them. All right, people. Let's do our last and final thing. So I get said, God says to me, well done, good and faithful servant. Do you know Jesus? Like, did anybody get saved this morning? I don't think so.

I think everybody was saved when Magalas gave the call. And I had three last night. I actually had five, but I had two chicken out. I had five people raise their hands, but they were chicken wings. When I said you had to come forward, and they just were like this. They have another chance.

They have another chance tonight. Well, they might not come, but I'm just saying. That's a scary thing to come forward. I know. It's scary. I know. But if you deny me before men, I'll deny you. So do it.

Just kind of do it. But it's scary. I mean, literally, I guess. I mean, we know that being in front of people scares people to death. They're just so self-conscious. I know. You know, and so nervous to like. Yeah. They had some people go up, so they could have self-conscious you know and so nervous to like yeah they had some people go up so they could have just like you know we had like the four that came up they could have

been like okay they went like that usually helps and it did not it did not I know that's sad no well maybe now they're watching it's highly unlikely they're probably taking a nap too as most are it sounds amazing it does sound amazing yeah i might be doing that i have to take the next load of food coming in 30 minutes so nap for me please thank you so i probably won't then i'll probably help out to some capacity okay so if you don't know jesus or if you walked away from him today today's your chance. Your time is now. Listen, we have fun all the time. People don't think being a Christian is fun.

That's not true. I've had more fun being a believer than when I was living in the world by a lot. And you remember it because you're not intoxicated. That's true. That is true. That's true. Unless you drink the new wine. Yes.

Good luck getting up that night. But even that's great. Yeah. But the next morning there's no hangover. Correct. Yeah. So you feel great. But life is good. So if life stinks, but you think you have to give up even what stinks by getting saved, you're not losing. You're gaining. Give it a chance. Give God a shot. He will not disappoint. I can promise you. Say this prayer with me right now. Heavenly Father, I come to you right now. I thank you for what you did on the cross. I ask you to forgive me of my sin. I turn from my sin. I ask you to be the Lord of my life and I will live for you forever. Use me and make me

into something that you can use. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Amen. He'll prepare you for ministry. And ministry doesn't mean you're doing a podcast or that you're standing in a pulpit. But maybe you have a gift of hospitality. Maybe you have a gift of encouragement. Maybe you are a person that just is somebody that can be a greeter. Like that's not a gift, but it is something that people need. Sometimes just walking into a building and seeing somebody smile at them and

tell them that you're so grateful that they've just come to church or wherever you're at can change somebody's whole day. So you don't need to, that's a ministry, right? So God's got a plan for you. You need to fulfill that plan that you are the only one that can do that, right? God makes nothing the same. No fingerprint's the same. No snowflake is the same, period. So if everything for him is unique, you are unique, and you have a purpose and a plan that only you can fulfill. So start today.

In Jesus' name, we will see you on Wednesday. Make sure you come out tonight. And then tomorrow. And we love you. Thank you so much. Bye. Real Talk. Real Talk. Real Talk. Thanks for watching! you you you
