The Hope Hotline | S02-E01 | 01-24-24

Welcome to Wednesday's podcast of the Hope Hotline. That's super official. And you can hear me today. Right? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. We're doing great. Great start. You know how some days are just like, I just me and and Tom have been, I was telling the girls how me and Tom have been trying to get something done at the DMV six times now. Six times. We're going for number six. Everybody that attends the church will be probably hearing the story when it's in completion. It's been done. Yeah be probably hearing this story. Yeah. When it's in completion. It's been done. Yeah. Probably hear this story. But you know how you have one of those days, like every single thing, you wake up?

From the moment you wake up and you hit your feet on the floor, you literally have to say, this is the day that the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it? Yes, always. Like it's been one thing to the next thing to the next thing to the next thing and you just sit there and go i will not blow my gasket i will contain myself but just some days are like like one thing after the other it's you can't even make it up. It's like, why in the world? We're driving home from the DMV.

And Tom, this woman in this Cadillac races. Like, you have to merge. And all of a sudden, like, it was blue lightning. But it was gray because it's a silver car. Gray lightning. Like we're at a reasonable distance. Like all of a sudden out of my eye, I see this woman like bolt. Like if Tom hadn't, he saw her out of the blue, just like me.

He said he lifted his foot off the gas. If he had not done that, she would have went in the grass and potentially hit a sign that was. Yes, because she just had. I'm like, what is wrong with people? Like, that is so dangerous. Like, it's obvious that we're all there. I don't.

He's like, well, that's poor for the course for today. He's like, what would she have done? I'm like, I don't think she cares. No, they're in their own world. Maybe she has to use the bathroom. That's what I always think. I always think. They can't see you.

I always think that they probably, somebody's having a baby and they need to get to the hospital really fast. See, I think they just need a poop. That makes so much sense. But literally ask anybody that's around me all the time. We always be, oh, they must be having a baby. That's from Bobbski. That's from what? My mom.

Oh. Yeah. That sounds about right then. Yeah, it did. It came from her. You know what? That's probably a nicer way to think. It is.

I just think they're dumb as all get out. You sound like Mackenzie. She called me and said the exact same thing. Mom, these people are so stupid. I don't understand. I'm like, they're just having a baby. Yeah. Forget the poop.

The danger that they put, I mean, we're fine because we have a hedge of protection that surrounds us that I pray over every day. But I'm just saying the danger that they put themselves and others in is just like. Not okay. I know. I know.'s true that I pray over every day but I'm just saying the danger that they put themselves and others in it's just like not okay I know I know trust me the only I don't know it's just it's just wild to me it's just like again you literally have to choose in the morning you guys know what I'm talking about right have you ever had a day that just like seem like I mean it will turn around. That's it for the day.

That's it of all the, like, it's been like one thing after another. Oh, yeah. But that's it today. From this point forward, it's excellent. Right. Right. Of course. Absolutely.

But you're like really having to fight through it. Yeah, you do. And it really, you really have to choose joy. You have to put it on. And not let it get to you. I'm getting better and better and better in life with that. Yeah.

I love that. That gives us hope. Gives you hope. Well, you guys, you guys were already nice. Yeah. So that's not like a, you guys have already

like covered this. For me, I'm just telling you. True. Don't you feel lighter when you do that? Like when you make that decision, I'm going to choose joy in this moment. Don't you feel like a little tangent of like. No.

Okay. I do not feel lighter. I will tell you this. I don't feel lighter at all. I feel victorious. Okay. There you this. I don't feel lighter at all. I feel victorious. Okay. There you go. Only because I let my flesh die and my spirit man rise up and win.

Otherwise, I love to win. You are. I kid you not. Outside of that, I do not feel lighter. I feel like a winner. Because you're a warrior. Huh? You're a warrior.

Yeah. You have a warrior mentality. You do. And it's good. We need people like that. I don't know. Like, I have a warrior mentality.

What does that mean? You are going to win. Yeah. Well, I don't know if it's a warrior mentality. It is. It is.

Because other people are so passive. It's competitive. Yeah. Well, but I don't think it's, I mean, I would love to say that it might be warrior-like, but it's not, Tracy. I think it is.

There's nothing, I don't really believe that there's anything warrior in it. It's, and sometimes it's not even righteous indignation. Oh, yeah. No, I can imagine. I will see this through. I will defeat you. Yeah. I will win.

And then I'm going to just stomp all over you and show you I won. Okay. That's how I feel sometimes. Okay. That's not really warrior-like. Okay. And then I have to die to the in-your-face because the word is very clear about gloating when you win right so i don't do that okay but i want to but i want to so i don't think it's warrior like okay like what's a warrior

okay oh i'm so glad you explained that to me okay i'm so glad you asked so it's not i i truthfully am being transparent with you i'm not that i'm so glad you asked. So the warrior mindset, let me explain this in simple terms. The way I define it as having a warrior mindset means that you won't quit. Instead, you will do whatever it takes to win a fight or complete a mission. It means being willing to invest as many hours as necessary to learn and understand what it means to be a leader. That's according to Google. So that's what I think of when I think warrior is like, well, that's a great definition. You just, you, you will do whatever it takes to complete a mission to win. That is true. And, and you don't give up. You're not passive.

No. Warriors are not. Warriors. Yeah. Don't have a passive mentality. They, they are like, yeah, but I think of a warrior. I'm just going to be honest with you. Let's hear it. A warrior, nine times out of ten to me, their motives are very pure. They're very righteous. You think of warriors like...

We'll use our military, right? Yeah. Because they're warriors to me. And what they do is they stand in the gap and they protect us from any outside forces that are trying to penetrate and take out the country, take out us, right? Yeah. So they're righteous in being a warrior. They have a purpose and it's good. It's like.

Selfless. It's selfless, but it's like their fight and the reason for the fight is so like, I can't think of the right word. It's honorable. Thank you, Vanessa. That's why I'm here. That's why you're here.

She comes up with the best arch church speech sometimes. She does. Like Tom even busted her chops on it a couple. That was funny when Tom was like, Vanessa, that sounds like an arctic pastor right there i mean i don't even remember what you said but i wanted to cry because i even was like i don't know where you pulled that out sister but that was very word salad-y it's very uh you be you all right there you go you be. And when Tom says you sound like an art trick pastor, that is not a

compliment. But you have great vocabulary. You do. You're welcome. You do. Sometimes, Vanessa, I'm like, I'm impressed with that vocabulary and how you just structure those little... She can pull out a word salad like

that. That's Brooklyn public school system for you. Well, that's not what I was thinking it was. Me either. I was thinking you've been going to, listen, pretty much ever since before this church, you went to our churches. Very true. Yeah.

So it's all those little phrases. That's what I was thinking. It's honorable. Okay. I don't necessarily feel like everything that I do, a lot of what I do is honorable. That's what my next question was. I find you're not honorable most of the time.

Oh, my gosh. That was my next question. So, like, you're in. Okay. No. That's why I say I don't know if I'm a warrior. Okay. Warriors are good people. Okay. Okay say I don't know if I'm a warrior. Okay. Warriors are good people.

Okay. Okay. I don't know. Oh, man. Poor Hope. Poor me. Poor Hope. I mean, I'm just being honest.

You are. I would love to take that compliment and run with it. I don't think I'm deserving of it. Okay. Okay. But I appreciate it. Once again. I still think it is.

The cheerleader. I still think. Although the definition does fit. does fit, it doesn't say anything about being honorable. It just says it means that you're willing to invest as many hours as necessary to learn and understand what it means to be a leader or to fight, complete a mission, blah, blah, blah. So, and you won't quit. You won't quit. That's a warrior mentality of me. You're not going to quit. Yeah, I don't quit. It doesn't talk about being honorable. They must think of like the same like military that like my brother. I'm like, honorable.

So, yeah, I mean, was he honorable on all of his missions? Probably not. No, he wasn't. Probably not. No, he wasn't. But he was willing to do whatever it took. Yeah, I get that. And take out whoever it takes.

I get that. And there was no second thought. Yeah, I get that. Yeah. Yeah. So I do get that. I agree with all of that. So, but.

Yeah. There's some things missing in there. That definition of warrior, I think, needs to be in there. Okay. Okay. Because I think that there's some scoundrels out there. There's some scoundrels out there that could say they're a warrior and they're not. Listen.

They'll just do whatever they got to do to get the job done. That's true. That's true. Which is not me. I won't do whatever. I know you won't. I know you won't. But listen.

Okay. So that's my thing. So listen, I'm going to do what my mom used to do like when we would be naughty all day. And we do this in my house. This is so funny. If things did not go the way they were supposed to in the household, and we were misbehaving,

and we were going to get it when my dad came home. We'd beg like the dickens. Please, Mom, please. Please let us start the day over. Oh, my gosh. And if, which she always was, almost always, sucker for us, she said, okay, we're going to start the whole day over. It could be three in the afternoon, and we were starting the whole day over.

So everything that was bad was erased, and we started fresh. That's kind of like a fresh start and a new beginning, don't you think? That does sound like fresh start. Fresh start, new beginnings. It's pretty arky to me. It sounds pretty arky, yep. So we would get fresh start to new beginnings in our household. And if we stayed pretty good, I mean, I can't tell you, sometimes we started over a couple

times in the day. Can we start the day over? I've already done that. Your poor mom. Please, just one more chance. Your mom's going to have the biggest mansion in heaven. Hey, she had four kids. Two were easy, two not so much me and my brother

that woman's a saint yes yeah listen i am sure my you know jesus it says that jesus makes our mansions right yeah but i am sure my dad is up there helping he probably is he is making sure that place is like to the take well deserved yeah. Yeah, because how she treated that man. Yeah. And then on top of that, like how she raised us. I know. She's a saint. Very special.

She's very special. She's a saint. But I'm just saying. So we're going to start the day over here. Okay. And it's going to be good from this point on. I'm going to the river tonight, so it's going to be really good. Oh, yeah. That's right, people. I'm going to the river tonight, so it's going to be really good.

That's right, people. Going to the river. Yep, our first night we can go there. So pretty excited. Yeah, that's awesome. Seeing the main man. Get that joy. Hey, listen, if you're in the Tampa area,

he's got his, what's it called? The camp meeting. But what's it called, this one? Do you remember? Transfigured. Transfigured. God bless Vanessa. Vanessa, you are winning today. I like winning.

She is like bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. And look at the cute little hairstyle. Look at the cute little bangs. She's so cute today, too. She's got a new style. And she's coughing. She's COVID coughing for everybody. No's not she's not but even if she was i wouldn't care we don't get sick in here no we don't i'm not you know it's so funny because

people like when they when they're sick they like we you know how tom and i go stand out at the the the um on sunday mornings we go and say and say goodbye and thank people for coming and stuff and inevitably thank you for that. People will be like, I'm sick. I'm like, I don't get sick. It never happens. It never transfers on me. Amen.

Same. I don't receive sickness. Yeah, exactly. That don't happen. So you can cough all you want to, Vanessa. Let those germs fly. Spit all over Talia. We're just getting antibodies. She don't get sick want to, Vanessa. Let those germs fly. Spit all over Talia. We're just getting antibodies.

She don't get sick. Yeah, exactly. She's got a force field. It's Jesus. Amen. It's the Holy Spirit. Yeah. Put that picture up, babes.

There we go. Listen, it's his, it's not, he has a minister's. This one's not a minister's. It's just a regular, right? Yeah. Yeah. And I've been watching it. I haven't watched the morning sessions.

Have you watched the morning sessions? I haven't. I've watched the night ones. Okay. He is the best of the best. I know. I love him. Oh my gosh.

It's, so if you live in the area, go to this conference. At least go as many times as you can. And even if it's only once. As he always says, you will not leave the same way you came. You will be changed. And in the best possible way. I'm just telling you, the man is the same wherever you see him. There, behind the scenes, the whole thing.

He is a rare, rare person that he is a rare rare person he is a rare pastor what you see is what you get all the time and that is super super special i would say the same of jonathan but i mean it's pretty obvious with jonathan oh Hey, so should we like, okay, we're gonna, can I talk about the ladies? Yeah, absolutely. Okay, so I've been, I've been powwowing for 44 minutes in. Sorry, we haven't gotten to anything. But no, only 15 minutes. We got we got 45 to go 15 minutes in.

Yeah, we got 45 to go. Okay, so I've been texting with Tracy because we've been trying to get ready for the Beloved Conference in August. I do things pretty, I'm like always, but this one came to me fast. Like I was really, but I think it's because I've been fasting. I mean, I really think because

like I started in, well, I did so much fasting last year, but starting the new starting this new, the new way in November, I'm like, it came so flipping fast for me. Cause I was like, so this year is going to be victorious.

Our beloved conference will be called victorious. It's going to be good. Yeah. And, um, now I don't have, I, I feel like she confirmed it. Magalas and Adalas will be good. Yeah. And now I don't have, I feel like she confirmed it. Magalas and Adalas will be back. Yeah.

So I'm super excited. Magalas told me she's in. And that means Adalas is in. Yeah. Yeah. But she was on a fast. And she was dying at the time. So I might have to refresh her memory.

We'll send this to her. I kid you not. I sent her a, a, what is it called? GIFs? Is that what you call those things? A GIF? Yeah. I sent her this GIF on Wednesday. Was it Wednesday when the other fast of the 21 day, isn't that Wednesday when that one broke? The 21 day was six to six? Monday was the last day. It was Tuesday. So Tuesday I sent her this picture. Mine ended at six that night. She was already done.

So I sent her a picture of this woman just shoveling it in. She goes, that's me right now. I'm like, yeah, that's why I'm sending it to you. I don't get to eat until six tonight. But yeah, she was like. So I might have to remind her because I don't know if those brain cells were working. But we're going to bring back the favorites. And it's going to be fun.

But it's going to be victorious. So we'll be filling you in more on that stuff. So invite your friends. It is August. Look at this. It's August. Norma was just asking me about this because somebody was asking her about it at the conference,

at the Transfigured Conference. I believe it's the 22nd through the 24th. Are we doing Thursday? Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Okay, yeah. 22nd is Thursday. So it's the 22nd. I might have a little surprise.

Okay. I don't know. I think I told you about it. Did I tell you. Okay. I don't know. I think I told you about it. Did I tell you about it? Oh, no. I mean, you told me about one of the surprises that I have to be very heavily involved in. Maybe a morning session on Thursday. You may have a morning. Did I tell you about that? No, you didn't. But I love that idea.

We may have it. Okay. Just I have to see it through. That might not happen. But we'll start Thursday. Is FUID coming back? Oh. This FUID. Well, they want a rematch.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, I want a rematch. So that's what I said to her. I said, are you ready for a FUID rematch? And she said yes. Let's go. They don't like to lose. Let's go. No, no, and she said yes they don't like to lose let's go no no no no they

don't she's already gearing up super funny i think she's like what people don't realize is before we went out to uh to let me just gonna tell you what tom has planned is so flipping funny he's coming back i had to convince him to be the host for that. Like, that was like pulling teeth. I had to make promises that were like nobody should have to make. Okay. And I'm just saying to you, now I didn't even have to do anything. Wow.

No, he's ready. He's in. Wow. He's in. This is exciting. He and Aaron and even my son. Oh, wow. Are concocted up some crazy crap.

I can't wait. And it's dang funny. I can't wait. Oh, it's funny. So, but if people would have seen what Magalas was doing in the back room, in the green room before we came out, was that not funny? Hysterical. They're too much.

She's too much. She's over there doing sit-ups, punching the air, boxing. Yes. She's over there making like workout noises. Yep. Grunting.

Lots of grunting. They made their. Grunting. Yeah. Yeah. Lots of grunting. Lots of grunting. They made their own shirts, too. Yeah. Well, yeah, because they were supposed to bring their Revival Today shirts. They forgot them. Magalas forgot. So she had them go out.

Late night Walmart run. Adalys and Magalas had them go and do a late night. And then the girls had to make the shirts the following morning. That's why they were late. And Magalasis and adalish were like where are they i'm like you two of all people you two are the latest people on the face of the earth and you're getting frustrated because your girls aren't here yet yeah that's pot the pot calling the kettle black super funny yeah super funny oh my gosh so it'll be lots of laughs as usual.

So Hope will be speaking. She will have a message available for us and that starts at 6.30 and ends at eight o'clock and there's childcare available and we would love to see you there. And that's it. That is perfect. I was gonna ask a question.

Is that a cap that you're making i think we're trying to yeah we're processing it um hasn't even made it to your table yet so we have a couple options but it's the coloring that's kind of being an issue why is that like if we wanted to do like a pink one it's not really matching your pink and if we wanted to do like a teal one it has really matching your pink and if we wanted to do like a teal one it has like another color attached to it or it's just white and so there's a couple options we played with but we'll show them to you once we get like an actual you know what just do a pink and it doesn't matter that it doesn't match okay because girls won't it doesn't have

to match okay you're pink okay because i think that's what um and do like a teal or something like that and do you want a trucker hat like the one that you were wearing that one time with like the like the netted backgrounds is like this popular yeah i think i think that's what aaron or heather told me i can't remember yeah that's what our elite hero is. Ask everybody if they want a trucker hat. Ooh, I want one. Okay, wow. Okay, yeah, trucker hat. Let's see. Who wants a trucker hat and who doesn't?

And whichever one would be the most popular, that's what we're going to do. Perfect. We're on Rumble, so if you want to vote, you've got to come on Rumble. Get you over there. That's where to do it. I'll get you over there.

I'm just telling you guys you don't understand how bad facebook is i'm not this is the the god's honest truth the other not last night i can't remember what it was i think it was thursday of last week um, for his podcast, he was just like shy of a thousand people watching, right? And watching live. And we were telling people, not me, when I say we, I mean the guys that were producing. They were telling people to go, basically Aaron, telling people to go over and besides Tom, go over and switch from Facebook to Rumble. And we would have people saying, we've switched, we've switched, we've switched. Our Facebook number never changed.

Like it never went down. And people are leaving the room and going over to Rumble. Our number never changed. And in some cases it went up. That doesn't happen. That's not. So Facebook is like not showing us the real numbers that are watching. They're not, they actually are shadow banning us like crazy. Even shadow ban this podcast. You would think, why would they shadow ban this podcast? Well, because I'm actually connected to the church, which is connected to the TLP. And because of that, everything we do, shadow bans.

Like the time that I had that one question that I answered about the jab. And because I did that, the next podcast that Tom did on Facebook, his numbers went from being higher to like being not even half of what they were before. It's because that, I mean, it's one thing to go on and like say hey to your friends or whatever, look at what's going on. But it's another thing, if you want to help podcasts like this one, then you need to go just to Rumble and watch it there because all you're doing is helping Facebook continue to shadow ban people

who are actually getting the truth out. And we don't want to help them. We do not want to support. I mean, you could say, well, that's crazy because you're actually on Facebook. And I know it's a crazy thing, but it's like Tom says, I use Facebook. And I know, it's a crazy thing, but it's like Tom says, I use Facebook.

I'm using Facebook to get people to go over to Rumble, to get that platform bigger. I am not using, I mean, that's why we say all the time, go to Rumble, go to Rumble. And Rumble is, our Rumble numbers have exponentially increased.

Big time. And anytime we can take from Facebook and go to rumble, we're going to do that all day long because that's what they do with us. They use us to, you know, use, propagate. What is it when you, it's subliminal, but they make movies. And when they're making the movies, well, it's subliminal. They're movies and when they're making the movies well it's subliminal they're giving an agenda they have an agenda so they're trying to subliminally give you that agenda it's like disney with everything else but there's another word they use for that yeah vanessa where are you and i know i know it's not an arc word so you're not going to be able to

do it i'm pretty sure of it you know what's interesting is like television is like tell a vision. Tell a vision. I know. Isn't that wild? So it is. It's all purposeful. Everything is very like there's a reason for everything. It could be Spanish.

Tell a vision. Tell the everything. It could be Spanish. Tell-ee-vision. Tell-the-vision. Tele-vision. There again. There you go, Vanessa. That sounds, it sounds so much prettier when you say it. Say it again. Tele-vision.

So much prettier. Yeah. Television. Television. Which one's prettier? Television. Television. I think they're both beautiful in their own way.

They say French is the language of love. Oh, never mind. Yeah, not Spanish. Not French. Spanish is down and dirty. Ooh. Get down and dirty. Okay.

All right. French is mi amor. Oh, my gosh. I tried to say that to Tom the other night. Oh my gosh. And he looked at me like I had lost my mind. I wish these were recorded. We'll tell you when you need her.

I'm just... We need a reality show. If there was ever a fly on the wall. Yeah, exactly. The thing would fall off the wall, dead and down on the ground. Be like, this place needs help. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

I cried laughing. He, on the other hand, thought I was whacked out of my board. Which I am partly, too. But I was laughing. I thought it was very funny. But I guess you had to be there. Yeah. I think it was funny.

Well. I wish Talia was there. In many ways, I think you needed to be there. I wish Talia was there to video it. Because I feel like she always comes in. I'm glad Talia was not there. For the gold. I'm going to take it.

I have so many videos of her that she doesn't know about. It's okay. Great. Great. Yeah. We'll need those. That one one you didn't need to be there okay take it back it's funny though yeah that is funny um what that is funny that's good yeah you know that that that it's that um which this was not this but it was to be funny but

it's like people with the dirty talk. Like, it ain't happening in the Likely House. Not with a straight face. Never in this lifetime. I sat next to Tom yesterday. We were sitting there. We were doing something. He was sitting in his chair and I was sitting in my chair. So I said something funny because I always try and do dirty talk,

but funny to him, which is very funny guys so I said something to him and I can't remember what it was or I would tell you because there's no secrets but um he just looked at me he's like every like if you're going in the opposite direction right now hope we are not moving forward we're going opposite yeah i'm like well that's counterproductive but really not i was not trying yeah so it doesn't really matter yeah you were good in that moment win-win and if i was in that moment i wouldn't be dirty talking that's for sure because ain't nothing gonna happen if I try and do any of that stuff. Oh, my gosh.

It's not. I can't even. I could never even seriously say it. Like, how do the. Okay, now we have less than. We only have, what, 27 minutes? 27 minutes. Dear Lord's of mercy.

I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Like, could you be serious and do it? No. Vanessa, you couldn't either absolutely not my I'm so happy about this because like my version of dirty talk I Jeff if you know Jeff in real life he loves the moon I don't know why he loves what the moon he takes pictures of the moon he just loves the moon so I sent him a picture of the moon yesterday, and I said, is this warming your crockpot? It would have only warmed his crockpot if you were mooning him.

Oh, man. That's warming the crockpot. Missed opportunity. No, no. Not missed opportunity. That's an idea. That's the next idea. Okay, let me just tell you,

you might not want to do that unless you're going to never give up your phone. And second of all, I'm just telling you, even if I did that, if I warmed the crock pot that way, the way that I would do it would not be enticing.

So Tom would still look at that and go, why did you send this to me on my phone? He would not be like, ooh, baby, come here. He'd be like, delete. I can promise you that. Oh, my gosh. He'd delete that sucker so fast. That's so bad.

That's so bad. Whatever. He doesn't know a good thing when he sees it. He doesn't. He doesn't. It's not good. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There you go.

There it is. There's the half. That's that word salad. And if the beholder is half blind, half farsighted, nearsighted, then I'm in good shape. Otherwise, even the beholder is going to be like, yeesh. For now. We work the glutes on Tuesday. Better and better every time.

All right. First question, because now I've got 25 minutes and half of you have already zoomed off. No, we're here. They're loving it. I can only do what I can do. Yeah. I'm starting my day over. Yeah.

We had to start this way. It's joy. This is the way to start. That's right. I started my day over. Exactly. And it was three o'clock when I started my day over. That's okay.

It's better than not. It's all good. Yeah. All right. So first question. And you guys can like, since your dad is a conspiracy theorist, Tracy, he just might be the one to help with this question. I'm excited.

Okay. What? I'm excited. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like, because I don't really know about some of this stuff, but this is the question, which might be from your dad. And now that I think about it. It could be. It could be. Might be from your dad. And now that I think about it.

It could be. It could be. Might be from your dad. There's been chatter about the grid going down. Did you guys hear about this? I love this stuff. I don't know about this. Have you heard about this, Tracy?

Of course I've heard about this. Hope. For real. You are so lucky you had me in your life. Like, okay. No, for real. Tom, you would think I would hear about this through Tom. But no. I don't even think would hear about this through Tom. Yeah. But no.

I don't even think he knows about this. Wait a minute. Oh, man. I'm so glad you have me. Okay. So did you hear this from your dad? No. Well.

Oh, really? I mean, we've talked about it, but it's not just my father. I have like a lot of people that I've heard this from. Really? Yeah. For a while. You say that just for a while. And. Really? Yeah. For a while. You say that just for a while. And this isn't like a while.

Yeah. This is a new information. This is like if the grid were to go down, which is fully, fully possible, what would we do? What would that look like? I don't know. This is the question. That's like I'm a community.

So here's the thing. Like other people, like, are they your dad's friends? No, no, no, no. Actually, even Jonathan has mentioned it. What? Yes. Cause he said like, if, if, if like basically if we have no internet, no way to pay anything and it's basically all end time stuff, but like, it would be great because people couldn't go to Walmart anymore and then you'd be buying nasty food. so then you'd actually start making your own food so it's like this whole like which i that's one of the things i thought about okay so i'm like well we just go back to like when uh yes the the um the 1920s the 1930s 1940s it's not as if we can't function without

the internet and stuff we've been able to do that before. You may not, but people forget when the depression hit, everybody did trade. They just traded with one another. I mean, like the world doesn't come to a flipping end if the grid comes down. You just, we've been here before, people. Yeah, it's good.

It's like, we can make it. We'll live. Yeah, so one of the concerns is that there's a generational gap that like people don't even know what kind of fertilizer to use to like get plants to grow that would be more so right so if there's no like google search like how do you make fertilizer to make tomatoes grow like that kind of stuff like what do you do when there's no books exactly so right that's where you pull from people right right right right like that kind of stuff. Like, what do you do when there's no books? Exactly. Huge. That's where you pull from people.

Right, right, right, right. Like, that's why I live across the street from the forest. I'm going out and killing some pig. That's why the pig is still from the last week's question. The pig is a dirty animal,

but it's edible. But it's edible. And God said, it's okay to eat it. Yeah. Yeah. True. I mean, that's why i live near the water so i can go and fish eventually the water will not be good but i'm just saying like god sets you up yeah if you have things available to you that you just sometimes don't even know right right but okay that's interesting oh yeah like i was just watching uh because i like this guy,

he goes around and interviews people. And so there's people out there that are living in their vans, and they're going from place to place. And so they're prepped for if the grid were ever to go down, how would they handle it? They're living in their vans? Yeah. Like their vans are set up for a home?

Yes. Like a tiny home? But they're like, well, one guy's living in an ambulance. Like van life. But he's older and he chose an ambulance because he has so much storage and it locks and it closes and it actually is a really good setup.

I know. It's very interesting. And listening to him definitely has conspiracies but, and he has a podcast, by the way. He does have a podcast? Yeah, maybe we should listen to it. Is it a conspiracy podcast? I think it is. And I think it's Republican because of the way they were talking about it sounded like

he means right. Well, I don't really want to do a conspiracy podcast. But is he sane? I don't know. Is your dad following? No, I don't think my dad knows him. Then you probably could do it. I'm just kidding.

No, it's probably true. No, it's probably true. No, it's probably true. Yeah, so, yeah, yeah. It's very interesting. By the way, her dad's sweet as pumpkin pie. He is. Smart as whatever. He is very smart.

And cute as can be. Your mom did good. Yeah, she did good. But she's pretty too. But I'm just saying. I always hearken back to good looking man. Yeah, yeah. He's a good guy. He's a good guy.

Um, okay. So that's interesting. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Like people have like bunkers and stuff. I don't worry about that stuff. I don't worry about the great going down.

I don't worry about any of that stuff. Yeah. First of all, because, uh, let's go to the question. Okay. Let's do it.

Okay. There has been chatter about the grid going down. No more access to the internet. No phones. No TV for months or longer. Which I wonder, how could the WEF function if all of this actually happens? Right. Okay.

Could they function? Right. I don't know. Like, they need to be able to have ways to manipulate and maneuver mind control, right? And the best way is the way we have it. So the grid going down, I don't know. But do you think it would be a terrible thing or a good thing? Also, what are your thoughts on storing up food or totally relying on God's provision? Okay. Again, I never heard it before. Yeah. I mean, I know the grid could go

down, but I didn't know that that was something that people were talking about, which is super interesting. I personally think it's a good and bad thing. Like what did people do before the daggum phones? We live life. We are actually happier before people function through their phone. You can't go anywhere without seeing one person or more walking or driving while looking at their phone. Facts. That's not good. That's not healthy at all. It's a huge distraction.

And so some people might say, well, I'm not on my phone all the time. I don't have a phone. But are you on your computer all the time? Because it's pretty much the same thing as far as I'm concerned. For sure. Because you're still using the internet and everything um and then like like we have a lot of people who watch um Tom's podcast on Saturday night through CTN they don't have get this yeah they are they are big time preppers because they only pay with money orders yeah they don't have internet right they don't have

phones kid you not yeah no i know they have no phone i mean they send us their their stuff and they say this is the way for us and sometimes they'll say hey listen i need to get that podcast to somebody can you put it on a dvd and i want to say what's that literally what is this used to speak what is this what is the dvd nobody uses those like i'm like i we can't help you yeah they're sorry like they they want to be able to give this information to another person that's like them that has they they they're not traced what i want to say to them is just go get a phone, go get your computer because they know where you're at. You're paying property tax.

They know all about you. You got a social security number? They know where you're at. What's the point? I know. You go to the doctors, guess what? They're tracing you. It's just the way it is.

So just have at it yeah i mean i mean not necessarily with the phone only because the phone is so such a bad distraction it's ridiculous um but i would say i would i would seriously ask myself if the grid did go down why like what what is going on with our government like or the globalist agenda why would that thing be going down like what's the agenda behind this and for me I would be ready not in a fearful way but I would just be ready for whatever comes my way. And remember this again, people lived before all of these things ever happened. Like before we ever had internet before when when you didn't have instantaneous news. It's a healthier way of life. Yes. A lot of times when I was growing up in unless I was born in 1967. But when I was growing up, we didn't know what was going on on the other side of the world until you watched the nightly news.

And the nightly news was not, it was actually news. It wasn't propaganda. So you actually knew what was, you would find out what was going on. And sometimes you didn't know for, it would have happened the week prior. You just didn't, everything wasn't instantaneous. If you wanted to know how your family was doing, you got a letter.

You got a phone call. It wasn't like, it's a way healthier way to live. People think that it's so, there's so many good things about it there's there's not a lot of great things about being instantaneously satisfied yeah it makes you entitled it makes you impatient and it's not really that great for your you know to be stimulated like what what is the the what causes the it's not just the brain but what your adrenaline it's not it causes anxiety and

anxiousness to be instantaneously um always being given something or or um receiving information it's not good it's it causes people are living at an all-time high with anxiety and anxiousness. And I will tell you this. Tom never battled anxiousness like he does. It's a spiritual battle for him because he has to take in so much information all the time. He's been prone to overthinking and things like that. But just before COVID or just around the time COVID hit, spiritually speaking, some stuff happened.

And he was like, he literally, I remember him saying to me, I don't know if this is spiritual discernment or if something's going on with me. I don't know what's going on. And that's when COVID burst on the scene. And Pastor Rodney even said the same thing happened to him. Like there was an overwhelming anxiousness and overwhelming, like there was a, it was tumultuous. But it wasn't like he felt like his health was at risk it wasn't like he was um it was more like knowing that there was an oncoming situation

that was going to create a very tumultuous anxious like it and then like two weeks later i told him i said i think this is, I think this is a spiritual thing. I think that somehow you're spiritually discerning something that you don't really fully understand. And then voila, March happened. This, when this happened with Tom, I had just gotten back from Israel. It was the end of January. And then in March, everything shut down. And then that's when we were like oh my gosh

that was god he was like readying you spiritually speaking to know that something was unsettled yep 100 and pastor rodney said the same thing happened with him so um i think and like tom continuously that's why i tell him all the time, don't be on Twitter all the time. Because his job requires him to take in so much information, but the information he takes in, he doesn't even tell, like he can't even report half of what he gets in. Right.

Because he just takes in too much. But when you're taking in all that information spiritually speaking you got to be on it because it will truly have take a toll on you and that's one of the things he's like all the time battling like battling that anxiousness that's why he warns people against it but but even he says to me he's like but that's my what am I going to do? That's part of my job. Like he feels called to be like a Paul Revere announcing and readying people. And like, like the British are coming, the British are coming. And he's, he's of that mindset of that. He's supposed to be the one crying out and making sure people know what's happening. So if they're not spiritually ready, they do become ready. If they are saved, then he's warning them and showing them what's coming so that they can be the resistance.

Does that make sense? Yes. Somebody, people have to do this. And Pastor Rodney is the same. Jonathan is the same because like check the news. Pastor Rodney does his but i but i know that all of them spiritually have to like stay on things so that things don't get the best out of them you know absolutely so um but i would say if the grid goes down all's not lost we just go back to the way things were but you're right if

you don't know how to farm you better figure it out you will god if you're right, if you don't know how to farm, you better figure it out. You will. God, if you're a spirit person, I mean, you might have to put an armored barbed wire fence around that sucker. Probably. Because lawlessness. Right, right. But I would just be ready. And the thing is, is if you have things, if you see somebody in need

and you have it, then you share it. Right. That's not where we hoard. That's not where we go. This is mine. Yeah. No, like you have to be you have to be like the word is very clear. We're to always we are to be prepared, but we're to be givers.

Yeah. Right. We're not to be hoarders. We see someone in need, we help take care of it. Because, again, it goes back to what is it? Paul said that, or it might not have been Paul. I don't remember who it is. But you could be, if you see someone in need, you could be ministering to an angel.

Who said that? Ministering angels. I wouldn't say it's Paul, but i don't think that's right because i feel like i just read that last week or something like that i don't know but if you if you find out who said it that would be great because that'll help me out i mean that'll not drive me crazy um so what does the bible say the bible says in proverbs 6 6 11 it says go to the ant you sluggard Consider her ways and be wise, which having no captain, overseer, or ruler, provides her supplies in the summer and gathers her food in the harvest.

How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep. So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler and you need like an armed man. So listen, sign of the times yeah so you should you should be making some provisions for like if if if something does happen maybe you need to be learning about how to have a garden. You know? If you like meat, maybe you need to get some chickens.

Ones that can fertilize and have other chickens. If you live in an area where that's not possible, then figure it out. Figure out how you can, they have like a, what are those things

where it's got a long shelf life? Patriot Supply. What's it called? Patriot Supply. Is that it called? Patriot Supply. Is that the name of the place you can buy from? Or is that? It's a website that specializes in. But what's that food called?

Like MREs? I know people call it prepper food, but it's what? MRE? Is that right? Like the military style? There are MREs. Yeah, I don't know. But there's regular companies that have food out there that lasts

a very long time. If you can't have a vegetable garden, if you can't have chickens. And here's the facts. You might be where you can't get chicken food, but at least chickens can graze. Right. And spam will last you a lifetime. So it's

called emergency survival food. And some of them are called MRE it's called uh emergency survival food and some of them are called mres uh depending on which one it is it's a survival but you can get survival kits yeah yeah you can and then you can also like um if you i mean there's little things that you can start doing to just prepare like if you're worried that there you can't get to the walmart well do you do you need band-aids do you need uh aspirin i mean i'm a big proponent of nothing but yeah you gotta like somebody else might pray your way through things you know what jeff has been doing he's been buying books that's the next thing i was gonna say first aid yeah yeah and um herbs for medicine yeah in the events.

But he's a forward thinker, whereas I'm like, what am I going to do today? That is such a nice way to say it. Listen, there's biblical principle. Yeah, yeah. I mean, okay, if that's the case, another example, Noah. Right. Yeah, 100%. And that Noah had an assignment.

Right. Okay, you could say, well, God told Noah to do that. But here's the thing. God's word tells you to be ready in season, out of season. His word also tells you to not be caught off guard. Right. Like the ten virgins, five were ready, five were not. You could say, well, that's for salvation, for when his return comes.

Well, I could say that's true, but you can apply that to pretty much anything. Like you are to be ready, like whatever comes your way. Again, be like the ant. Right. Don't be caught off guard. Summer's coming. Come on. Yep. Be harvesting. And then when winter comes, you can sit back, relax. And when everybody else is running around like a chicken, you'll be eating your chicken. What were you going to say, Vanessa? Oh, no. Naz was saying how spam was disgusting.

Yeah, she eats no meat. And I beg to differ. I like it fried up. Fried up. Oh, like bologna. Yes. Fry it that bologna. Stick some mayo.

I mean, stick some mustard on that sucker. Slap it on some bread. I have that all the time. All the time. I make that for myself all the time. Oh, bologna. You cut it in. You cut the three sides.

I haven't had it in so long, but I love it. I like bologna. You know what my mom used to. You know what I grew up with that my mom ate? And people think it's so gross, but it is so good. It's liverwurst. Oh, I like that. Oh, on bread. Even on a cracker.

I haven't had it, but it sounds disgusting. Oh, it's so good. I would try it. I would try it. I would try it. It's so good. I'm going to have it on Tuesday. As an appetizer.

Please do. Okay. Yeah. I'll try it. It sounds nasty. So stinking good. It's like a pate. It is. It is. It's like a pate. It is a pate.

It's very creamy. Is it good because you guys had it when you were little and it like brings back memories or it is actually good? No, it was good. She says, oh. She goes, oh. No, you don't think it's good? No, I love it.

But I also ate it as a child. Oh, I loved it. And I still like it. Okay, so Hebrews 13 says, do not forget to entertain strangers for by doing so, some have unwittingly entertained angels. I agree.

That's where I was. I was just reading in Hebrews. So Hebrews, okay. Me and Sarah were talking about Hebrews. Who wrote Hebrews? Okay. So most theologians do believe it was Paul. Right.

Because I went back and looked at this because I was questioning what I had told her. Most theologians, there's some that they don't know. Right. And then there's others that say absolutely it was Paul. Right. Even though some of the writings in there don't coincide with Paul. There are distinct things that he said, not at the beginning, but at the end. And who he was talking about were people that he was involved with. That's why people think it was him. But I say it's Paul, but Paul, I thought Paul said that. But we go back to

Noah. Noah, he was was ready and here's the thing people mocked and ridiculed the man because he said because he's building a boat and he's like you need to get your life right things ain't gonna be good the reason why is most people don't

realize this but it had never rained on the earth so if it's never rained on the earth. Right. So if it's never rained, it's like we're going to see things that we've never seen before in the end times. And people are like, sure, that's going to happen. They're going to be thinking we're conspiracy theorists, that we're crazy, right? Because it's never happened.

Just because it's never happened doesn't mean it won't. It's just like in Noah's day, it had never rained. So they thought, you've lost your mind, dude. But it did rain. And the other thing people don't realize, and if you read the scripture out, people will think that the rain just came down. No, the rain did come down,

but the water came up from the ground as well. So you got like this. It was a double whammy. Because water does reside under the ground. So everything went like this, and that's the reason why it took a, I mean, not a short period of time, but for the earth to flood that much is a pretty big deal.

But people mocked and ridiculed him. He still prepared. He still got himself ready and his family. By faith, Hebrews 11, 7, by faith Noah being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness

which is according to faith. So should you not be like Noah? I mean, listen. We should save our households. We should be prepared to protect and save our households. Because in the end times, the world will be condemned. God's going to be righteously coming after the evil and the lawlessness, and then he's going to actually come on the white horse,

and then he's really going to cast judgment. So until we're out of the way, we protect. We are the restraining. We are making sure things that could happen won't be happening. But if the grid were to go down, I say be ready. Be prepared, just like Noah was. And do I believe that if for some reason you aren't prepared or maybe you were prepared and you missed something that you desperately needed, God will provide it. That's why I say, too, it's super important to pay your tithes and offerings. And to be a person that's a giver.

Because it's clear in this world, you will receive a hundredfold in this lifetime. Whatever you give, you get a hundredfold back. Sometimes, you know, the old adage, a good deed goes unpunished. Like, I say good deeds are like reaping and sowing. You do good to somebody, you get good back. It's not like people are so afraid to do something good for somebody because they think he'll come back and bite them in the butt. That's not the word of God, right?

You do good by people, it's reaping and sowing. And so everything that you do in this lifetime, if you were in need at a later time, don't think that somehow somebody won't do something good back for you. Does that make sense? A hundred percent. Because it's not always about money.

No. It's about, and the greatest things, and I love this. I love this because I love it when people do things for other people and they tell no one about it. Yeah, me too. Because there have been times in my life that the Lord has specifically said, go do this or go pay this or go take care of this. And a lot of times people have a really hard time doing things for other people and not telling other people of the good that they did or what they did for someone else.

And really the purpose of what you did was the reason you did something good for somebody is so that you go and tell everybody that you did the good thing because the Bible is clear, you know, that that will be your reward. Let him reward you though, is what it says. So you can do all these great things, but if you go and promote yourself and say how great of a person you are, there's your reward, okay? But when you keep your mouth shut and you let God,

like if you do it unto him and he tells you to do something or you feel compelled to do something and you keep your mouth shut and you don't let anyone know that you did it, it's just between you, that person and the Lord. Watch and see, because at some point, it's going to come back for you in ways that you never dreamt possible at a time where you desperately need it. And you sit there and go, how in the world? It's because you sow something, it grows,

it's going to come up, right? And it's going to come back and bless you. So I only got to one question. Oopsie. Sorry about that. Sorry about that. I got plenty of questions for Friday. Good. We'll jump right in. Yeah. Do you guys want to add anything to that? I think that I have no concern because of the community that I have around me. It's not even necessary. That's a good point. Of course, God, obviously.

But when you have a good community around you, you know. Like you said, you know you'll trade services. You know that you'll be there and so if you are a loner maybe reconsider a loner life and that's such a good point i never even thought about that because really i mean even if nothing ever happened right exactly win win yeah win win but a lot of people are afraid to put themselves out there like that because they've been hurt. Yeah. And I'm like, listen. I know.

Life's full of risks. It is. But low risk, low reward. Right. High risk, high reward. Absolutely. And listen, good friendships, good relationships, they're worth the risk. So take it because it'll come back to you in ways that you never.

And here's the thing. If you're a good person, you got a lot to offer. Right. People need that relationship unless you're a wackadoo. You got nothing to offer. Fix that. Yeah. And then let's do some talking.

Because there's some wackos out there that think, I've got a lot to offer. You don't. Until you get the wacky out of you. Yeah, I agree. Then, man, you'll be a valuable vessel. But there's a lot of people that walk around and feel extremely inferior. Feel like they have nothing to offer.

And really, you do. Right. Just you've let the enemy steal from you so get out there make some friends get in a community that's an arc word just so you know get in it in a community find your tribe find your tribe see that's the art word i kid you not. I'm not kidding you. That is it. I won't even use your tribe.

Is that Vanessa's shirt? That's never going to happen. You be you. And you'll have your tribe. Never going to happen. Not as long as I'm running the show. Oh my gosh. No, I'm running the show.

Oh my gosh. No, I hate that word too. There's so many, like, there's so many homosexual, like, words that people use. I just want to like,

okay. Call people out. I'm like, oh. Okay. Call people out. I'm like. Oh my gosh. You know what? No. I was going to say. Don't say it.

No, I know. Don't do it. I'm nervous. I would love to show this video. My son's in the room right now. Hey, Tommy, you know when Charles Radke won his first UFC? The guy that Tommy used to train with? Yeah.

He just won his first UFC fight in Australia, like November, right, Tommy? Yeah. And how he closed it's not good people if you look it up on YouTube it's not good but dang if I don't want to say that right now without the cussing

it's priceless now I want to know Tommy is that not I fell in love with the guy instantaneously instantaneously. Instantaneously. I was like, that's my kind of guy right there. There you go.

It's our tribe. He's definitely not politically correct. But UFC fighters most of the time aren't. Is that true, Tommy? Most UFC fighters are not politically correct, right? Yeah, they're not. I mean, like their leader, Dana White, farthest thing. Yeah, exactly.

If you just watch his most recent interview where somebody who is a reporter is like, do you let your fighters on a leash and they can only say certain things? He's like, a leash, a leash. They say whatever the bleep, bleep, bleep they want. Yeah's like, a leash. A leash. They say whatever the bleep, bleep, bleep they want. No, that's true.

But that's the world. That is. Most people are only allowed to, even athletes are only allowed to say certain things, talk a certain way. And if you don't say exactly what they want you to say. Penalties. Slap on the wrist. So I think that's it. Okay. I don't even know you to say. Penalties. Slap on the wrist. I think that's it.

I don't even know how to segue. So today we're just going to close out. I hardly ever do this. But I've just called people homosexual so I really just don't even know how to close this thing out in a godly way. Oh my gosh.

But if you're gay and you need Jesus, I'm just the girl to bring you. How's that? There it is. I knew you could do it. I'm not doing it. I'll allow it. What? I'll allow it. You do need Jesus if you're gay.

I don't care what any arch church tells you. I don't care about if you said a sinner's prayer when you were 10. You need Jesus. So get in that prayer closet. Get things right. Live a godly lifestyle. Come back on Friday.

I'll win you to the Lord. Have a great day. See you on Friday. Love you bunches. Bye. Real talk. Real talk. Real talk. Real talk. you you
