Starting point is 00:00:30 why can't I do the podcast outside? It's why we live here in Florida. I don't know what the temperature is.

Starting point is 00:07:31 I was looking at something on Facebook, and Jeff's memory from five years ago popped up. Don't mention it. Don't mention it. Oh, I missed it. Going now. Okay, she was about 80 pounds heavier. Maybe not 80.
Starting point is 00:07:50 I had to show Tom last night. I was like, Tom, her husband used to videotape her secretly while she was dancing or singing or whatever. And then he posted on Facebook. They actually do have a good marriage. Even though he did that. do have a good marriage yeah even though he did that they have a great marriage she has she's got I mean some people would get you know a little testy over that I mean she did she acted testy but she wasn't but she's got a good sense of humor you're confident individual you're good you're good dancer you're a good singer so like you didn't pounds heavier I was you could throw it a good dancer. You're a good singer. Even 80 pounds heavier, I was still a good dancer.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Yes, that's right. You were throwing that everywhere. Oh, my gosh. But I'm just telling you, if you can find that. I did find it. You did find it? Did you see it? Yeah, I just saw it.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Oh, my gosh. It's the funniest, dangest thing. Maybe, just maybe, Tracy can pull a little bit of magic. And before the podcast is over, we can share that with you. Because it's dadgum funny. You're welcome. What are you doing? Are you going to do it?
Starting point is 00:08:53 I'm listening to her. She's like, or not. We don't listen to it. I only choose to listen to what I want to listen to. It's out there for the world to see. That's true. It is on Facebook. As if it's going to change anything. That's true. It is on Facebook. As if it's going to change anything.
Starting point is 00:09:05 That's true. That's true. I mean, it's already on Facebook, so. What is that? It's already on Facebook. It's already on Facebook. Right. It's public record right now.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Right. Exactly. If you're friends with Jeff. Exactly. Listen. Because I tried to share it and it wouldn't let me. Are you serious? I thought we were friends.
Starting point is 00:09:26 We are. We are. We are. Oh, my gosh. Hey, listen. Friends do share. Yeah. True friends share with one another. Sharing is caring.
Starting point is 00:09:38 That's right. So, Tracy, if there's anybody that can do it outside of Erin, it's going to be Tracy. It's happening. Yeah. You think you can do it outside of Erin, it's going to be Tracy. It's happening. Yeah. You think you can do it? Oh, yeah. The wicked laugh.
Starting point is 00:09:53 I'm so excited. I have to get the whole thing, though. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. It's great. Okay. I love it. Well, we'll do a question.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Okay. We'll come back to it. That'll give me time. That'll give me time. All right. Can you go over the living to 120 years? I'm all in for it and plan to, but others don't think that the Bible clearly states that it applies to us.
Starting point is 00:10:14 So I am going to do it. I'm going to tell you right now that most preachers won't preach it. I don't know why, other than they probably don't know the Bible. And one of the things that I absolutely love about Jesse Duplantis is he does preach this. I think Kenneth Copeland does too. Some people are fans of Kenneth Copeland. Some people are not. But I am a fan because, like, he has some great word.
Starting point is 00:10:42 I mean, you're not going to like everybody, and you're not going to like everything everybody says or everything everybody does. And not everybody hits it out of the park every single time. But if you're doing it more than not on a high caliber, you need to take into it what people are saying. Because some people, people are going to miss it. But on the whole, if they're getting it right,
Starting point is 00:11:06 then you should take as much as you can because they're doing something that most of us are not, right? So let's look at the scriptures. Tom does preach this. So either you watch Tom or you come to this church or something. But Tom is a big believer in this. Genesis 6.3, and the reason he's a believer is it's scriptural, and I'm going to show you why.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Genesis 6.3 says, And the Lord said, My spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh, yet his days shall be 120 years. Okay, so you've got to look at the scripture. So before this, people were living anywhere from like 300 to 900 years of age, right? Noah is about to come on the scene. People are very, very wicked. So right after this, God floods the earth and destroys everybody,
Starting point is 00:12:06 and he starts over with mankind. And so that doesn't, because he destroys the earth and mankind, didn't do away with that scripture verse. Noah comes on, and he does not live past that, okay? Wait a minute. How old did Noah live? I want to say, hold on one second. Somebody look up how old Noah was.
Starting point is 00:12:34 I don't believe he lived past that. I'm almost positive. Well, he was older. Excuse me. He was older when he was making the ark because it took over 100, almost 200 years to make. It might have been 300 years to do the ark i can't remember exactly so this does so forgive me for that part but because when it came to moses moses didn't live past 120 years
Starting point is 00:12:57 look that if you guys will look that up for me how old 950 950 is and and then after him after after genesis 6 3 that's when it starts okay so but he had to replenish the earth he and his sons okay so psalm 90 10 is where everybody goes to and says that did away with the 120 years okay but we but we're going to look at that. And that's what Psalm 90 10 says, the days of our lives are 70 years. And if by reason of strength, they are 80 years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow for it is soon cut off and we fly away. If you look at that scripture,
Starting point is 00:13:40 and I went, and this is why I say to people, you got to study the word because if you just read it for face value you will get lost you have to study the word you have you can read it but it goes much deeper so we let's look at who wrote Psalm 90 10 Moses wrote Psalm 90 10 and he lived 120 years of age. So Moses wrote Psalm 9010. And why did he write Psalm 9010? It was for the Israelites who had been disobedient to the Lord. And anyone that was 20 years and older were not going to make it into the promised land. And that's basically what that scripture is talking about,
Starting point is 00:14:27 that they were going to die in the wilderness. So from that point on, those Israelites, because of their disobedience, would not go past 70 years of age. They couldn't have because eventually everybody has to get into the promised land. So anybody 20 years and older, we're going to live no more than that 70. Okay. That means like if you were 20, you're going to live, maybe the oldest you could make it as 90. Right. So Moses, oh my goodness. I've got to put myself on do not disturb. I'm going to tell you, somebody take my phone, do not disturb because it's going to
Starting point is 00:15:06 throw me out because I'm getting solicitation calls like there's no tomorrow. So Moses was, if this, if Psalm 9010, thank you so much. If Psalm 9010 applied to changing the 120 years, then why did Moses live to 120 years? It didn't do away with that. Moses didn't get to enter into the promised land. But if that scripture in Genesis was done away with, then he should have died at 90. Does that make sense? Yeah. Okay. So let's look at Deuteronomy 34.7. Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eyes were not dim, nor his natural vigor diminished. And here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:15:51 He climbed a mountain the day that he died. He looked out into the promised land, and then he died upon that mountain. So he was 120 years. Again, look it up. Matthew Henry Commentary clearly states the reason why Psalm 9010 was written is whether the Israelites who were disobedient and because of their disobedience,
Starting point is 00:16:15 they were not going into the promised land. So their life was limited on the span of time that they would live because of their disobedience. That doesn't do away with God's original Genesis 6-3 saying that he said he cannot strive with man forever. So 120 years is all we were going to get. Because otherwise we were going to drive him crazy if we lived beyond that. Because everybody else was living 300 to 900 years of age. And he's like, I can't do it anymore.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Then the flood happened. So a time span was given to us of 120. And that's it. Psalm 9010 does not apply to that. Does that make sense, ladies? Yeah. Do you agree or disagree? Yeah, agree.
Starting point is 00:16:59 120. I already have my plan. Huh? I already have my plan. You already have your plan? Yeah. And what is your plan? Well, I really like my plan. Huh? I already have my plan. You already have your plan? Yeah. And what is your plan? Well, I really like the beach.
Starting point is 00:17:08 And so what I'm going to do is there's these big floats. And you just get this big float. And you just go out to sea. I'm going to have some snacks. I'm taking my friend over there because she's only 11 months younger than me. So my 120th birthday, Norma's pushing us out. She might join us. She's not sure because you won't be here anymore.
Starting point is 00:17:25 We're going to finish out and see on my 120th birthday. That sounds miserable. There's a lot of burning. No, no. It'll be because it's 120. I can't live past it. It'll be the eve of my birthday. You could live a year out there.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Do you understand it's not 120 and, you know what I'm saying, a day? The Lord knows my heart. Okay, you got my daughter out there with you. She's coming. The Lord knows my heart. She can live beyond that. No, she won't. You got 11 months.
Starting point is 00:17:56 She'll turn back. I'll have a battle. A lot of burns. A lot of sunning. He's gone. He's 10 years older than me, so here's the plan. Tracy's actually going to take me in as a sister wife. I am He's 10 years older than me, so here's the plan. Tracy's actually going to take me in as a sister wife.
Starting point is 00:18:07 I am. For 10 years. It's just, that's what you have to do. He's four years older than me. This is like, there's no... I guess it could work. It's a little sick. I mean, ain't nobody getting busy at 115 or something like that. This is just us hanging out. I mean, ain't nobody getting busy at 115 or something like that.
Starting point is 00:18:25 This is just us hanging out. I mean, maybe. I don't know. Yeah, no benefit. It's just us benefiting from watching TikToks together. It's kind of like raisin mentality. Oh, gross. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Everything's got to dry up somehow. Oh, my gosh. Okay, we were just planning on watching like tiktoks together hope that's all we just wanted you have no listen you understand if you can't pay for that cell phone service at some point it goes i know you got a lot of fun in your bringing with you i do i do very systematic too there there's no way. There ain't enough snacks. Hope, you're already in heaven. You don't have to worry about it.
Starting point is 00:19:07 We'll see you soon. We'll see you soon. You'll be watching and you'll be laughing at us as the birds join us. Oh my goodness. Oh yeah. I can't handle birds. We already know that.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Norma's just going to dump me over once I'm done and then she'll probably have to paddle back because it probably won't be her time. So we'll leave a paddle for her. Callie will probably be there too. Anyways, that's my plan. Back to what you were saying. It's not a good one, girls.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Pretty subpar. It's a working plan. It's a work in progress. It's a work in progress. It needs a lot of planning changes okay it's terrible we'll work it out we'll work it out i don't listen hope don't even say god gives us the desires of our heart okay nope i choose not to live to 120 you were nope you gotta stay we're gonna need you it's about to get real it's about to get real real exactly thank you sarah

Starting point is 00:21:56 You go, girl. I love it. There's only one me. There is. That's right, girl. I'm gone. Who's going to do that? No, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:04 We're in heaven. We'll do it together in heaven. We'll be up in heaven. There ain't, girl. I'm gone. Who's going to do that? No, I don't know. We're in heaven. We'll do it together in heaven. We'll be up in heaven. There ain't enough of you to go around. Well, in that picture, there was more than enough of you to go around. But you got moves, sister. You do. You look good dancing.
Starting point is 00:22:19 You do. Yeah, I will say, listen, there's some people that, like Tom, when he gets heavy, his eyes get squinty. He's good looking, but he's got squinty eyes but like you there's some people that can pull off being you know being heavy and they like they're like they got it going on listen there are some women that carry some extra pounds and they're beautiful. Yeah. I mean, they can pull it off.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Yeah. I, on the other hand, cannot. I'm like Tom. It ain't pretty. Some people can do it, though. If you can do it, I mean, it'd be hard to lose weight if you could actually pull off being beautiful. Yeah. And carrying some pounds.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Right. But there are some men that do not like skinny women and they prefer a heavier, chunkier girl. That's true. That's a true. Some cushion with the pushing. I don't know what that means,
Starting point is 00:23:16 but I'm lying. I do. What did you say? Don't worry. I ain't saying it again. All right. Let's go to the next question. Let's move right along. I ain't saying it again. All right, let's go to the next question. Anyways, moving right along. I have to watch the replay.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Yeah, watch the replay. Hashtag replay. As Sarah likes to say, hashtag replay. Okay, what's the deal with loving? Why is it such a big deal that God tells his people not to use it at certain times? I've seen different interpretations, but it just doesn't make sense to me that it would be such a big deal unless I'm missing something.
Starting point is 00:23:51 When the people were leaving Egypt and told not to use it because there wouldn't be time to let the bread rise, it isn't like it would be any different than unleavened bread. I see an interpretation that fermentation tied to leaven is equivalent to decay and corruption,
Starting point is 00:24:06 but does God even explain it that way, or is it just an interpretation by man? That is such a really daggum good question. I'm not kidding you. I mean, it's a great question, and it probably doesn't even have the answer that you thought it was. All of that, when the people were leaving in Exodus, and you referred to about when the people were leaving Egypt and told not to use, let the bread rise. That's actually Genesis 12.
Starting point is 00:24:46 I mean, Exodus 12, excuse me. I had Genesis on my mind from the last one. That's Exodus 12. And all of this goes, it's a shadow of things, right? It's all about the seven feasts, believe it or not. Put up that graphic for me, because it's gonna help people to understand what this is. The seven feasts, if you did not have Passover, we wouldn't have the symbolic, or we wouldn't have the shadow of what Jesus did on the cross, okay? So when God instructed Moses about the about the angel coming over and if you did not have the lamb's blood over the posts and on the sides of the doorway,
Starting point is 00:25:36 he gave clear instruction, like you indicated, about the bread and about even the meal itself. Okay. So before God delivers the Israelites out of Egypt, he tells them to get a lamb. He tells them to make unleavened bread. Now, no one knew when the angel was going to come. Like no one knows the return of Christ, right? So they were to be prepared and to be readied. And be readied meant that you might not have time to have the bread rise. But that's so insignificant to so many things.
Starting point is 00:26:12 It's more about the leavened bread. Unleavened bread has yeast. Yeast or leavened anything, when referred to in the Bible, is oftentimes likened to sin. Okay? So that's why, like, when the Jewish people today, still to this day, when they do the Feast of Unleavened bread, before they do anything, just like one of the instructions that God gave the Israelites was to sweep the whole entire house out
Starting point is 00:26:52 so that any leaven that was in there would be removed, like yeast, because it is symbolic of sin. So he's making sure that there is no sin in the home, no sin in the person, right? So even to this day, before that feast is celebrated, most practicing Jewish people will sweep their house completely clean. The feasts are way more symbolic than people even have a clue. Okay, like I said, the Jewish people, they celebrate this feast. They do it every year. Um, and it's a, so they start out with the Passover meal. The Passover meal is even what Jesus celebrated before his, his death, right?
Starting point is 00:27:40 So the Passover meal, and then, uh, the, the feast of unleavened bread is, I believe, practiced for five to seven days. I can't remember exactly how many days. So the Passover is one day. Unleavened bread is the following, I believe, five to seven days. I think I want to say it's seven, but I might be wrong about that. So those two are together. Then there's the first fruits. Then there's, I believe it's the trumpets. Then it's Pentecost. No, it's first fruits, Pentecost, then trumpets. Those three happen the next,
Starting point is 00:28:18 but they're not the following weeks. Those happen later in the year. And then there's the day of atonement. And then there's the Tabernacle. And those are the last two. And I believe those are celebrated in the fall. But I might be wrong about that too. But it is celebrated all throughout the year. Each one of those. So the meal, the Passover meal, is again one that Jesus celebrated and it's also called a setter meal, all right?
Starting point is 00:28:49 So when we're talking about leaven, I'm gonna come back to it after we're done talking about the Passover meal or the setter meal because it's gonna kind of all flow together, all right? So what I'm gonna have you do is let's move to, let's, let's stay on this and then I'm going to have you go to my, uh, to the next graphic. Okay. Um, so the Seder meal or the Passover meal, it consists of a lamb and it consists of unleavened bread still to the state. Now the Jewish people have added different things to it. Like there's an herb and it's kind of like a bitter herb.
Starting point is 00:29:28 And then they've added some other things to the meal. But the original one was lamb and unleavened bread. And because of this, not when, from what I understand, and from what I've studied, when the Israelites were leaving for the original Passover meal, they didn't have these five cups. But after that, when they celebrated, there are five different cups that sit on the table when they are doing their Passover feast. OK, now each of these cups are extremely significant.
Starting point is 00:30:14 OK, you can go to that next graphic if you want. Because everything is symbolic. Everything is. God designed it specifically with no coincidence. Okay? So the first cup is the cup of sanctification, which sets us apart and it purifies us. It's also called the cup of blessing. Okay?
Starting point is 00:30:37 But if you remember, this is not just for the Israelites when they left and were sanctified and set apart from the Egyptians. It also pertains to Jesus and what he did for us. The second cup is the cup of deliverance because they were delivered out of Egypt, our cup of judgment. The third cup is the cup of redemption, which is the prophetic fulfillment of Christ. All of these cups still to this day, they sit on the table. There's actually five cups, not four, but I'm going to show you the four and then I'll tell you about the fifth because the fifth, it matters, but it's not as significant as these four cups. And the fourth cup is the cup of thanksgiving and hope or the cup of praise.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Okay? The fifth cup is an empty cup that they do not fill at the table. Each of those cups are filled with wine, but the fifth cup does not have anything in it. And it is for what they believe is Elijah for his return, and he'll return and he'll drink from the cup when he returns to their table, which is they use the scripture Malachi 4.5.4. Okay, so if we look at Jesus at the Last Supper, okay? Last Supper, also known as the Passover. So just remember, like everything is significant.
Starting point is 00:32:16 People think that the Last Supper or the Passover, they forget that that Passover meal, it's a feast, but it's a feast because of what happened in Exodus with Moses delivering the Israelites out of Egypt. A lot of people just hear Passover and they think, oh, Passover. They forget that it's Passover from the Passover of the angel with the firstborn children that didn't have the post with blood on the top and the blood on the sides, the firstborn was taken and killed. We'll just call it the angel of death. They don't put the two together. The two are the same. And a lot of people don't know their word and they don't study
Starting point is 00:33:01 their word. So they just hear last supper and they don't put the two together. If you put the two together, you will see how symbolically they both, what Moses did through God, God's direction, God delivering his people through the Old Testament is symbolic of what God did when he sent Jesus to deliver us from sin and give us redemption. Does that make sense, ladies? You guys are picking up what I'm putting down. Picking it up. Okay. So Jesus fulfilled all of the elements that are for those cups. He provides sanctification.
Starting point is 00:33:46 He delivers us. He gives us redemption. And then there's praise, correct? All right. The Feast of Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. When Jesus observed the Passover, there were key moments when Jesus took the bread and the cup. All right. And he declared
Starting point is 00:34:06 that his body was the bread and his blood was the cup. Now I want, let's look at Luke 22, 19 through 20. I don't, can you put that up while it's on there or do you need to come back to me? Perfect. And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. Likewise, he also took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant. Right?
Starting point is 00:34:39 Old covenant is gone. And the new covenant is now, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you. And that's what he said to the disciples. I want you to check this out. This is super interesting. Now, by the time he got to the cup,
Starting point is 00:35:02 do you not think that the cup that he was going to drink from was significant? I think it's very significant. And a lot of theologians and a lot of rabbis believe that the cup that he picked up and drank from next was the cup of redemption, which would follow along. It would not be surprising that if he did, that would be true. Because what did he do for us? When he says this is a new covenant, it's the cup of redemption would redeem us.
Starting point is 00:35:30 That's basically what he was saying when he said that scripture, when we read that scripture. So he was the sacrificial lamb. He was the tangible sacrificial lamb. And then he fulfilled the unleavened bread. Okay, let me explain this. Leaven, bread that has leaven,
Starting point is 00:35:52 if leaven and yeast is considered sin and you have bread with sin in it, or bread that's leavened, Jesus is the unleavened bread, right? But I'm going to blow your mind. Because he is the cup of redemption. And if you remember, what did he say when he was praying and he said to the Lord, when he said to God, please take this cup from me, and he was sweating blood,
Starting point is 00:36:28 the cup that he was referring to is not just a cup you drink out. It's the cup of redemption that he's referring to, if you will take this cup from me. Because he wanted to do it, but he knew what he was going to have to endure. And even he in his human form knew that it was going to be tough. So the cup that he was asking to be taken from him was the cup of redemption, which represented his shed blood. And this is where it gets so good. If you read 1 Corinthians 5, 6 through 8, Paul said this. And Paul was saying to the Corinthian church, because they were glorifying in sin,
Starting point is 00:37:10 he said, your glorifying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Therefore, purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed, Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. He's the Passover lamb, correct? Yes. So that's what he's referring to. For indeed, Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore, let us keep the feast, and he's referring to the Passover feast and the feast of leavened bread, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice
Starting point is 00:37:47 and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. So Paul tells the Corinthian church to purge themselves of sin and immorality. He uses Passover and leavened bread, the feast of leavened bread. He uses that feast, those feastsasts as examples to the Corinthian church because it's something that they would understand. Let's look at that. So let's look at this. So Jesus said in John 6, 48, he says, I am the bread of life, right?
Starting point is 00:38:23 If Jesus had no sin, he's unleavened bread, correct? Then you go on to Jesus is the living bread. John 6 51 says, I am the living bread, which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I shall give is my flesh. His flesh is sinless, which I shall give for the life of the world. You can come back to me. So here's the thing. It gets even better. And this is why I tell people, study the word out.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Because if you study the word out, you can never deny it. You'll know that it's not by coincidence that God does one thing. He has purposed everything. Jesus was born in Bethlehem. What does Bethlehem mean? Do you guys know? No. House of bread.
Starting point is 00:39:25 It's important. Yeah. So it may not be like when you read that don't let the bread rise, when God gave that instruction to Moses to give to the people of Israel. It may not make sense, but it's way deeper. It's way bigger, and it's way more powerful what all of that means and why it is significant. And again, Old Testament is foreshadowing the New Testament. They go together. You can't have one without the other. They are both
Starting point is 00:40:00 vitally important. And everything that Jesus did in the New Testament always goes back to the old. Always goes back to the old. So does the Old Testament. It always goes back to the new. Always goes back to the new. They both validate, verify each other. So, girls, do you have anything you want to add? No?
Starting point is 00:40:24 I just blew your minds, didn't I? That was good. I just blew your minds didn't I that was good I just blew your minds very very good that's the stuff I love I know I'm not a history person but I'm shocked I'm gonna dig deep yeah into God's word which is beautiful thing it is you're in shock. Is that what you said? Yeah, that you don't like history. Well, I like history, but history is like for me, I mean, I know history. I know American history and things like that. And I think it's super important as we Americans that we know our history because you will repeat it if you don't, right? Yeah. But what I love about the Bible is like in history, we don't, and Andrew Womack said this one time, and I was like, it's so true.
Starting point is 00:41:10 But in world history or American history, sometimes we don't understand why people did things that they did. Or we don't understand why did they go after that battle plan? It's not played out. We're not, the truth of why things happened are not given to us. But the Bible tells you both sides. You know exactly. I mean, God is so good that his strategies with war or with sin or with salvation or with whatever he's offering you, even provision and healing, all of that, I mean, raising your children,
Starting point is 00:41:55 everything is laid out for you. Like there is no truth that's not told or there's no explanation that's not given. You know from beginning to end why it went or does go the way that it goes. Like if you don't train up a child in the way that it should go, you know it will depart from the faith because the word is true. If you go look at Old Testament and you look at wars, why did the wars happen? How did God get the victory for the Israelites through those wars? When they lost, why did they lose? Like you understand all of those things because the word of God reveals all of those things. History is great and everything, but I love digging deeper because all it does is validate my faith, but also it gives me more faith. It makes my faith grow because God goes to such
Starting point is 00:42:47 great lengths to prove who he is. And even in the littlest details, like Bethlehem being the house of bread. Yeah, that's good. I mean, come on. It's down to the littlest things. And for me, it's like, if God's going to go that far, I'm going to dig that deep because he is worthy. And so that's why I tell people all the time, do not read the word, study it out. It will take you to new places. If you have any doubts about who he is by the time you're done it you will be so like such an immovable force like you no one will be able to tell you that God is not real that God's word is not true that he does not fight and go
Starting point is 00:43:42 before you I mean no one will no one will ever convince me ever that my steps are not ordered. If he goes to those great lengths to prove who he is, he's got my life laid out, my plans, Jeremiah 29, 11, they're all good. That anytime I face adversity, no matter what that is, his word says that I will be victorious. I know I'm gonna win.
Starting point is 00:44:04 I don't quit because you know what I know? I end up winning every time. So why quit? I'm going to win. And those are the things that will really press you to go forward, I think. Yeah. You know, absolutely. This is a real spiritual question we're moving into right now. My favorite. Your favorite? I actually love right now. My favorite. Your favorite? I actually love this question. Me too. It says, you love energy drinks, specifically Elani and I think Red Bull. How bad do you think they really are?
Starting point is 00:44:38 I know this isn't a biblical question, but I am just curious what you think. By the way, I drink them too. Let's roll, people people i love this question okay me and talia and tracy we drinking energy drinks vanessa you do not sarah you do not okay so we have two do's and two don'ts and three do's. My son's in here. Tommy, do you drink energy drinks? That's not an energy drink. He just picked up a Coke.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Coke is not an energy drink. I'm talking about like Monsters, Red Bull. Yeah, but that's, okay, that's coffee. People who drink coffee don't consider that an energy drink. I'm glad you do because you're actually right. It is. But I'm just saying, do you drink Celsius? Do you drink any Red Bull?
Starting point is 00:45:33 Do you drink anything like what I do? You stay away from all that stuff. You don't have any desire? You just don't like the taste. You're not staying away from it for health reasons. If I like it, I drink it. Okay. I got to introduce you to some of my son.
Starting point is 00:45:47 They're good. And then after this, some of you are like a gasp. You're going to introduce your child to an energy drink? You're a horrible mother. Okay. Well, let's go. You're just my kind of person that I want to talk to right now. All right. Pull up that chart, sister.
Starting point is 00:46:07 I love this chart. And because it's on the internet, it must be true. The Knowledge Academy says, brief comparison of ingredients present in Red Bull and coffee. So if you ever looked at the back of a can of Red Bull, it'll tell you that there's different vitamins in them. Now, you may say there ain't a lot of vitamins in that sucker. Some is better than none. That's all I'm going to say. Because if you look at what the list there is for Red Bull, the cup of coffee that you drink every day is absolutely pretty much none.
Starting point is 00:46:47 It's negligible. So while I'm sucking down my Red Bull, I'm sucking down my vitamins. I'm doing way better. I'm already ahead of the game. Give me two. Double the pleasure, double the fun, and double the vitamins. There you go so actually i'm a i'm a red bull connoisseur but i'm a i'm really like i think i've i'm not completely converted to alani but i don't know you can bring it back to me
Starting point is 00:47:19 i i don't know like you've done a whole bunch right now, Tracy, like you're doing C4, which I like C4. Um, my Chris Ann Hall, my friend, Chris Ann Hall.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Uh, I don't know why she did this one of the last times, not one of the last times, like last year, sometime I was talking to her about, she's like, have you ever done C4? And I'm thinking, is that organic?
Starting point is 00:47:41 Is that why you're telling me? Holy moly. That sucker is Chuckock full of like. Goodness. Goodness. Yeah. There's some I will not touch. Just because like I don't want to feel jittery.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Right. Like if that's why you don't drink an energy drink because it makes you feel jittery. I love the taste. Right. That's one of the reasons why I'm addicted to them because I'll drink that. I could care less about soda. And like I have my water. I'm better than most because most people don't even drink water.
Starting point is 00:48:17 True. And they drink coffee all day long or they drink like Crystal Light or whatever. They don't even drink water. I was just talking to somebody the other day and I said something about water and they go, I hate water. They don't even drink water. I was just talking to somebody the other day and I said something about water and they go, I hate water.
Starting point is 00:48:28 I don't drink it. Here you go. Whatever. Boat your boat. I mean, as long as you don't preach to me about not drinking my energy drink.
Starting point is 00:48:39 But, like, C4 is like, got, it's got a lot of caffeine in it. Yeah. Yeah. A lot. Okay, do you like the C4? I do, it's got a lot of caffeine in it. Yeah. Yeah. A lot.
Starting point is 00:48:46 Okay. Do you like the C4? I do. But right now, since the fast, I haven't drank any energy drinks at all. And are you totally off? Are you cold turkey? For now? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Yeah. I just, since the fast, I haven't gone back on them yet. Do you think you'll go back on them? Yeah, I do. So the point was, is like I drank a C4 and like I felt a little bit of like, okay, I feel awake and then nothing. And I didn't crash. I just, it wasn't doing.
Starting point is 00:49:12 I never crash. I know. I don't either. I mean, I'll be honest with you. I can literally drink an energy drink or a cup of coffee and go straight to bed. It does nothing for me. Yeah, that was me. So that's why I stopped for a little bit because I had a friend that was like obsessed with
Starting point is 00:49:24 coffee, drank like tons of Red Bull, tons of, and then he completely stopped for like a year, which I don't think I'll do it for a year, but he completely stopped for a year. And now every time he has like a little bit of coffee, he's like energized, no energized by it. So I was like, we'll do a little, we'll try a little, see what we can do. So I just haven't had any, however, 100% not against them. Are you drinking coffee? Yeah. Yeah. I'll have like, but not like a half a cup of coffee. Like it's just the taste. Like it's just coffee. I love the taste. I did. And I don't know right now. It's just different. You don't like coffee? Right now? No. Right now. I went and got a Starbucks. I don't drink coffee every day.
Starting point is 00:49:59 Yeah. I don't drink coffee every day. I probably, I would be lying if I said I didn't have an energy drink of some sort. I drink an energy drink every day. But it's like my soda. Right. I mean, I love that. Yeah. Yeah. I know you drink an energy drink.
Starting point is 00:50:14 But C4, what do you drink when you drink Red Bull? Ghost. Ghost. I didn't know. I didn't check out Ghost. I should have checked out Ghost. Yeah. Ghost, C4.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Yeah. I'm not into the sweet. Very sweet. That's why I don't check out Ghost. I should have checked out Ghost. Yeah. Ghost, C4. Yeah, and I'm not into the sweet. Very sweet. That's why I don't love them. C4 is less. And then I do love Red Bull. I love Red Bull. What about you, girl? Red Bull.
Starting point is 00:50:35 And then there's one flavor of Celsius that I actually like. Yeah, Celsius is pretty high, just so you know. I know. I barely drink it. In caffeine. Everybody's big on Celsius because it's like this organic or whatever. It's like the better one. It's high in caffeine.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Apparently it's not great. I don't care though. You two don't. Shoo fly. Wait, can you ask Vanessa what she does drink? Okay Vanessa. What is it? Espresso? What do you drink?
Starting point is 00:51:05 I drink coffee. Okay. And ask her what else she drinks. You drink coffee. How many do you drink? Right now it's about three cups a day. Three cups a day. How much water do you drink?
Starting point is 00:51:17 How much water do you drink? Do you not drink water? That's funny. Isn't it? So I don't get thirsty. So I'm the type where I'm like. Really? It's like four o'clock in the afternoon and my head is pounding.
Starting point is 00:51:32 And I'm like, why do I have a headache? Drink water. Yeah. She doesn't drink water. I can't remember the last time I even took a sip of water. So I'll have like 40 ounces at that point. Oh, you'll suck it down. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:44 And then your headache will go away. And then my headache is gone. I took a sip of water, so I'll have like 40 ounces at that point. Oh, you'll suck it down. Yeah. And then your headache will go away. And then my headache is gone. So you drink three cups of coffee, go long periods of time with no water, then you'll suck down the water, and then you're good for the rest of the day. And I don't drink energy drinks because I just don't like the taste of it. Yeah. I don't have like. It's not because you're making a stand or have a principle against that.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Listen, I don't drink water. She doesn't drink, period. All right. Let's hear sarah sarah you drink coffee but you don't really i drink decaf mostly yeah but i mean i'm not against it i so right now my bladder i can feel my heart beating in my bladder because i have to pee which is why run to the bathroom girl i will but. But I wanted. This was important to me. I didn't want to miss out on this. On the Red Bull caffeine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Conversation. There is a lot of negative things that it does. A synthetic caffeine anyway. So if I have a coffee. I'll have like decaf coffee. And like Thrive has caffeine in it. But it's plant based caffeine. It really affects your adrenals.
Starting point is 00:52:46 So for me, when I was trying to like get healthier, that was one of the things that I was like, maybe I'm not going to drink three Diet Cokes a day anymore. That plus the artificial sweeteners. Like it's just a lot of chemicals and stuff. Oh, yeah. I agree. I drink like anywhere between 80 and 120 ounces of water a day. But I also have to pee all the time.
Starting point is 00:53:08 So it really affects my quality of life. Yes. Literally. I don't come close to that and drink a lot. Listen, if I just wore diapers, we'd be golden. I could just pee wherever. And I'm going to go right now. Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:20 So I would tell you. Use that one. I would tell you. Well, I'm not going to tell you what I was going to tell you. Forget about that. Okay. So let's look at this. Because you're having, oh, Vanessa's going to have water.
Starting point is 00:53:37 You guys can keep yourself on because I don't think I have any more. Well, Logan said decaf is a lie. And she just wanted you guys to know that. Decaf is a lie. You can't just have coffee that's decaf. It's coffee. How does she say it? Coffee.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Coffee. How is that? Heather swears by it. No, I don't want to say Heather swears by it, but that's what Heather does. She drinks decaf because caffeine, too much caffeine. She's like, she'll keep her up. But she can drink a decaf and be totally fine. If you're going to drink coffee, drink coffee, not decaf.
Starting point is 00:54:07 It's like. But she likes decaf. I know she does. And she can go to bed after drinking decaf. Logan just doesn't feel like coffee has to be caffeinated. Oh, it's not that. It's like the rule. Decaffeinated coffee, it doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:54:19 No, no, no, no, no, no. She's just saying like if it's coffee, it has to be caffeinated. They're coffee beans. That's how they're created. So she's just letting you know. I'm going to let Heather and Logan argue that. Okay. They might.
Starting point is 00:54:31 I don't, I wouldn't. I mean, coffee, it wouldn't sound right to me. Yeah. If you heard that flush, that would be Sarah. Just so you know. That's Sarah. That's Sarah. She's almost done.
Starting point is 00:54:43 She just washed her hands. The door will be opening soon. Okay. So this same report shows that coffee has more caffeine. Believe it or not. And we're going to go into it. A nine ounce cup of coffee contains approximately 90 to 200 milligrams of caffeine. But like Sarah said, synthetic versus. But my thing is, is like a lot of people put like a said synthetic versus but my thing is is like a
Starting point is 00:55:07 lot of people put like a lot of creamer in there then they put a lot of sugar in there and if it's not sugar then they're putting a lot of sweet and low or whatever it is and then uh or like the creamer is like a vegetable oil sugar-free and the oil like vegetable oil is like a... Vegetable oil. Sugar-free. And the oil. Vegetable oil. Vegetable oil is like the first ingredient on a lot of the creamers. What? Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Yes. I did not know that. Yes. It's not even cream. It's oil. That's why it tastes so good. Yeah. I know.
Starting point is 00:55:39 It's true. There's some more lard in that thing, please. Yep. You're right. Load it up. A hundred percent. I'm telling you, you're right. Load it up. 100%. I'm telling you, when I got fat, it was from all the things that I drank. I drank my calories.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Like Tom says the same thing. Tom drank his calories. They were so good. I eat my calories. Me too. Yeah, because you don't drink all day. True. Some of us, on the other hand, hand consume fluid whether it's good or bad
Starting point is 00:56:08 okay an eight ounce can which is what i i do eight ounce cans of red bull i don't do like yeah i i just do the small one an eight ounce can of red bull contains only 80 milligrams of caffeine. Truth. Yeah. And they're like, look up what a thing of Mountain Dew is. Because I can tell you, I can't tell you how many times people preach to me about drinking energy drinks and they're flipping down in a Mountain Dew or something. I'm like, are you kidding me?
Starting point is 00:56:43 I'm like, give me a daggum break. Don't preach to me about a daggum Red Bull when you're sucking down all of that Mountain Dew. And listen, I'd love to see your insights because they were probably lit up like that Mountain Dew, like
Starting point is 00:56:59 anti-freeze. Anti-freeze. It's true. No, it's true. It is. Let's throw you up on an x-freeze. Anti-freeze. It's true. No, it's true. It is. Let's throw you up on an x-ray machine. Your whole tummy is going to be bright yellow. Sloshing around. So it's only got 55 milligrams of caffeine. So it's not even that far from a thing.
Starting point is 00:57:20 But it has 46 grams of sugar, which is insane. Like if you took like the spoons full, and that's just the 12 ounce, the can. 12 ounce. 46 grams of sugar. Yeah, wild. Oh my gosh. That's why Aaron is on and off the do. When he loses weight, he's off the do. When you see him gain weight, he's off the do. When you see him gain weight,
Starting point is 00:57:47 he's back on. That's why he's like, he tries, he's like us. He drinks his calories. Erin's the same way as us. But now he's eating it because he's like, what is it, Tommy? He loves
Starting point is 00:58:03 minty chucky chippy ice cream. Every day he's eating minty, chalky, chippy ice cream. Every day. Every day he's eating minty, chalky, chippy. Yeah. And they came over to the house the other night because he thought he was going to get a blizzard with Tommy. Oh, my gosh. A minty Oreo.
Starting point is 00:58:15 He's excited about it. Chocolate chippy blizzard. Much to his demise, Tommy had already gone and picked up all of our stuff. So, ooh, throw that sucker up there, girl. Okay, so Mountain Dew's not on there, but it is. What's this last one say? I can't see that, though. I know.
Starting point is 00:58:32 It's kind of hard to see. You probably can see it on your screen, correct? No, this one's a little bit more clear. I wonder if I do this one. Let's see if I do this. Does this look a little bit more clear? I don't know. This one kind of looks clear. Yeah, so 16 tablespoons of sugar in this Mountain, what is it?
Starting point is 00:58:51 Minute Maid lemonade. But like compared to all of them, like this is where we're at with the sugar content, which is wild because like Powerade and then you look at the Red Bull and that's the sugar. And that's got sugar in it. That's the sugar one. And I do sugar free, which is chemical. one. And that's got sugar in it. And I do sugar-free, which is chemical. I know. It's got chemicals in it.
Starting point is 00:59:09 But so does the Diet Coke that you're drinking or the Coke Zero. So look at, and this is like Mountain Dew, like these cubes. So that one's the 20-ounce and 22, about 22 packets of sugar. Oh, my gosh. That'll make you want to unscrew that top to the Mountain Dew and suck it down. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Like you just pile on the fat right next to your sides. Look at that thing. Look at this. Oh my gosh. That is the reason why Michelle Obama made big gulps no longer. Oh well. Michael that's true. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:59:52 Looky, looky. That's somebody's science project. Yep, sure is. Isn't that crazy? So much, so much sugar. So yeah, yeah. Caffeine, okay, fine. But like the sugar in a lot of people's drinks
Starting point is 01:00:03 that they're drinking down all day. It's crazy. And so for me, like I know when fine. But like the sugar in a lot of people's drinks that they're drinking down all day. It's crazy. And so for me, like I know when I drank coffee all the time, like the way I like it, that's the reason I don't drink it every day because I can't have it the way I like it. So if I can't have it the way I like it, then I'm like, I don't really care about it that much.
Starting point is 01:00:20 But I drank, like it would have like two t two tablespoons of sugar and then a whole lot of creamer that was not fat free sugar free nothing i was just dumping it oh it's so good so good but it's not good so all i'm trying to tell you is don't be a hypocrite don't preach unless you are only drinking water. That's why I'm eating chocolate right now. I already had some before we started. So let me tell you this. Red Bull contains fewer antioxidants than coffee,
Starting point is 01:00:57 making it slightly unhealthier than that. But if you're like me, I drink it sugar-free, so that has its own little things too. So in full transparency. But I don't want to have all that sugar. Like I like the diet or the sugar-free one way better. It tastes way better. So here's the real issue that I think people have
Starting point is 01:01:23 is the caffeine consumption, besides the synthetic caffeine consumption that Sarah was talking about. It's, let's look at the harm that it can cause. Regular and even heavy amounts of caffeine use appear to be totally fine for healthy adults. So regular to even heavy amounts, everything in moderation. A 2017 analysis of dozens of reports, papers, and experiments on the subject found that adults can safely consume 400 milligrams of caffeine a day without suffering from adverse effects on cardiovascular health, calcium balance, and bone status, cancer risk or fertility the prescribed number decreases to 100 milligrams a day for healthy adolescents 12 to 18 years of age two and a half
Starting point is 01:02:13 milligrams a day for children younger than 12 years old i mean i don't think parents are like giving their kids soda every day. I was actually instructed when Toby got diagnosed with ADHD to like give him coffee or Mountain Dew in the morning because it's a stimulant. So when you have ADHD and you take a stimulant,
Starting point is 01:02:36 it does the opposite and like calms you down. Okay, but okay. But I didn't do it. I was just... I'm just saying one-offs here and there, but most parents are not giving
Starting point is 01:02:45 their kids like i mean listen if you go to mcdonald's and you take that little orange drink that's a lot of sugar but that's not got a lot of caffeine in it right you know what i'm saying i let my kids have sprite when they would go to m to McDonald's, but they weren't drinking soda the rest of the day. They drink milk or they drink water. So, I mean, if a parent is giving their kid that's younger than 12 an energy drink, I'm calling DCF on you. Tommy's like, what? I'm kidding.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Huh? You weren't younger than 12. You were older than that. And he was giving you chocolate milk, which I was not really happy with. But when I'm not there, whatever. Okay. How long does caffeine keep you awake? It basically works like this.
Starting point is 01:03:40 When a brain is tired. So listen, this doesn't work for me or Tracy and maybe even Taya, but people who feel like caffeine does work for them, this is why it does. When the brain is tired, it creates more of a substance called adenosine. Sarah, think of this word in your head. And then endosine, A-D-E-N-O-S-I-N-E. A-D-E-N-O-S-I-N-E. A-D-E-S-O-N-E. Adenosine? Adenosine? Adenosine?
Starting point is 01:04:26 Adenosine? God bless it. Thank you. Which binds to adenosine receptors to slow down nerve cell activity. Caffeine tricks these receptors by essentially pretending to be adenosine, thereby binding to the receptors and blocking the sleep-inducing element. The more caffeine, the more receptors that are blocked. Studies have also shown that increased caffeine consumption during the day
Starting point is 01:04:50 can lead to serious sleep problems at night. Not my problem. Not mine either. This girl goes nighty-night. Same. No matter what. You can drink caffeine too and it don't bother you? Can you drink caffeine, Sarah, and it not bother you?
Starting point is 01:05:03 Maybe not. You drink decaf whatever i guess it doesn't really like if i have a soda with dinner which is like once in a blue moon then it doesn't really impact me don't bother me i know other people it does yeah me too like heather yep uh with one report suggesting that individuals should stop ingesting caffeine six hours before bedtime. So, soda, Red Bull, coffee, it doesn't do nothing to me. Like I said, everything in moderation, people. You know what the three worst energy drinks there are with the highest level of caffeine?
Starting point is 01:05:42 Let's hear it. Celsius heat, which I was telling Talia. Bang. I can't do bang. Oh, I used to drink those. Oh, yeah. I've had those before. I will say bang. Really? I drank. I was like, nope, not doing that. That's not why I drink energy drink.
Starting point is 01:05:59 I do not want to feel like that. No, no. Nobody does. If I felt like that, and some people do, then they don't drink energy drink. That makes complete sense to me. I don't like feeling like that. Did your heart beat out of your chest when you drank Bang? I don't know. It has a lot of caffeine in it. And then Rockstar Xterance.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Those are the ones. All of them have 300 milligrams of caffeine. Yeah, that's probably what C4 has. 300 milligrams. I don't know.'s probably what C4 has. 300 milligrams. I don't know yet. Check out what C4 has. Okay, now I'm about to save your lives, people. And we're five minutes over time, but you'll thank me for this.
Starting point is 01:06:37 I promise you. You'll know if you're having an overdose of caffeine if you consume more than 400 milligrams of caffeine and you experience these symptoms now i know coffee drinkers have breathing trouble that's not a coffee drinker changes in alertness agitation confusion hallucinations convulsions seizures diarrhea that's coffee drinkers fever increased thirst increased urination that's sarah but that's not from coffee
Starting point is 01:07:16 400 milligrams plus uh irregular heartbeatcle twitching. Nausea. Vomiting. Rapid heartbeat. Sleeping trouble. I've never experienced any of those at any time whatsoever by drinking a Red Bull. Never. Never.
Starting point is 01:07:41 I know people have probably with drinking coffee. I've never experienced diarrhea from a Red Bull. Mm-mm. Okay. But I know people who drink too much coffee do. Yep. So everybody work out their own salvation with fear and trembling. Don't bring it to me.
Starting point is 01:08:01 I'm not kidding. I love that somebody writes this question. I love you for writing this question. You have freed me in many ways to give my opinion to people who don't want me to give my opinion.
Starting point is 01:08:15 But I don't want their opinion. So live and let live. Let's just move on. I mean, doesn't it bother you when people come up to you when you're drinking like a Red Bull and they're like, that's not good for you. And I just want to go. Can I go in your pantry right now? Can I look at what you got in your pantry?
