The Hope Hotline | S02-E54 | 09-04-2024

Welcome to the Hope Hotline. It is a wild ride of a Wednesday. We have a lot of chaos going on in and around the world right now. I'm not joking. If you're not up on the news right now, well, we're going to catch you up really quick. So one thing is, what is that? Thank you very much. Pop that up there right there, because we're going to do some praying today. There's multiple injuries after a shooting at a Georgia high school.

Suspects are in custody and officials say that the school is on lockdown. It's a hard lockdown. And four people are dead that they know of. And how many injured? 30 that I've seen on the most recent posts. It is horrific. And it's all a part of the propaganda to have gun control. If you think I'm kidding, it's not.

And a lot of times the powers that be, the FBI, they know about these people prior to these things happening, and they do nothing. That's why my defund the FBI shirt I should have been wearing today, but I did not know about this going on. Otherwise, I would have on my defund the FBI shirt. Because I guarantee you, they knew about it. Yeah, something.

The next thing is, is Pastor Greg Glock. His house was shot at today. He arrived one minute after this took place, but let's read it. 30 to 40 gunshots fired at the Tennessee Pastor Greg Locke's Wilson County house. Locke posted on social media that security footage shows a person unloaded, so it's one individual unloaded an entire magazine of bullets from an automatic weapon in our house, garage, and my truck. Locke said, we pulled into the driveway one minute after the shooting occurred and one person was at the at

the home at the time of the shooting one bullet cut through the headboard of the pastor's youngest daughter's bed and lodged in her pillow lock posted on social media there's pictures of the damage that was done to his home look at all of those little tags that show bullet casings. That's beautiful. The side of his truck and then the windshield of the vehicle. Can you imagine? That's God. And Tracy, you can post that other one.

Tracy made a great point. Like, God is so good. Just like President Trump turned his ear just at the right time. Pastor Greg Locke comes home one minute after this incident. What could have happened if he showed up two minutes prior? God is faithful. So that's his daughter's bed. Right.

And like the world has gone haywire. Yeah. They have gone cray cray. Yeah. Like what are you flipping thinking and who knows why this person did it right but at the end of the day it is all spiritual warfare and then we have individuals um all over tiktok um we're not going to get into who's saying this because i don't really care but there are people on tiktok saying that september is going to get into who's saying this because I don't really care but there are people on TikTok saying that September is going to be crazy and one of the things that is going to make it crazy

and I'm not big into prophecies and witchcraft and all this other stuff I'm not into it but it brings up a great point of are we praying for President Trump right And so one of the things that is being said is that there is potential watching you guys. What is Talia saying? Hold on. Talia's not with us today. She's not. Watching you guys

from Hope's house. Talia, I miss you. Talia, I'm glad I didn't have my phone on Do Not Disturb. Now I am putting it on Do Not Disturb just because of you

reminding me. So guess what? Text Tracy and Vanessa. They got your back. She did it on the Hope Hotline texting. We'll talk about Talia in a second because she's secondary to Greg Locke, obviously. I don't know.

The victims of the Georgia shooting and then what's going on or what's being said. And listen, I don't believe this, just so you know. But it is a call to action, which is one of the things that Tracy was telling me because Tracy was telling me that there's this big talk right now that there's a lot of things going to go down in September which we always know October surprise right we always know

about that yeah um because it's the election year yep yep but one of the things that is being said is that there that President Trump will be shot and killed in the month of September. Do I believe that? No. But do I believe potentially some people are still trying to accomplish this? What is that that you have right there? I won't put it up because it has names and stuff, but it said they will predict that he will croak. And then it's like laughing emojis and that he goes back to hell where he belongs. They all think this is hysterical. Isn't that like, that is sick.

I mean, any, like if this was about Biden, right. That, that would be sick people. Like we don't do this to, we don't do this to the lost,

especially, and we don't do this about the safe. But if this is somebody that's not saved and we think this is funny and they should go to hell where they belong. I mean, holy mackerel. They no idea they have no idea like we should never want anyone i just don't get it so so my call to action is we're gonna pray over georgia uh the georgia high school we don't know the name of that school do we know we know that the team is called the wildcats for their football because it looks like that

was taken from their stadium. Yeah. But we're going to pray for that high school in Georgia and the victims of the shooting from the ones that have been deceased for their families, as well as the ones that are injured that no more die. Yeah. We're also going to pray over Greg Glock and his family and their hedge of protection that should surround them, which, listen, it already does. for real, I mean, that's not by accident. God is just,

he is like, if you don't think your steps are ordered and if you don't think you have angels that surround you, and if you don't think Psalm 91 is for you, like you're crazy. You need to, Psalm 91 is for each and every single one of us that call on it. And I can promise you this, Greg Locke knows he has death threats like nobody's business. So he probably is like on it, spiritually speaking over the hedge of protection around his family. That's the reason why his family's alive today.

And then we're going to pray over like all of the politicians, no harm coming to anyone, but any of them, but specifically we're going to pray it over president Trump because I want him to be my next president. Amen. And I don't care if you don't, I do like,

I'm going to pray specific. I pray for all of them because I don't think any of them are saved. I hope Trump is saved, but he don't talk like it sometimes. So I don't think any of them are saved. I hope Trump is saved, but he don't talk like it sometimes. So I don't know. I can't judge his heart. But based on what other politicians do, it's pretty easy to know their heart. Their fruit stinks because everything they believe and stand for.

So let's just pray really quick over these three things, and then we're going to move on to our little towel. Heavenly Father, we just come to you, and Lord, I just speak over this high school in Georgia. Father God, I ask that you would be over the families of the four that have lost their children. Father, give them peace that passes all understanding. Give them comfort that their minds can't conceive, and Lord, if they don't know you in the midst of these things, Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy. He has stolen from these families, but let him be known and seen as the activist behind this and not the one that ordained it. You are perfect. You are loving. And Father God, let that be known and seen to these families. And for the ones that are injured, no more deaths.

Father God, I ask that you would protect each and every single one of them as far as whatever they are in need of for healing. I ask, Lord God, specifically, that any damage is done to each and every single one of these individuals, Lord, your healing power and your and your and your dreaming nature, Father God, reach into the hand of each of these surgeons. Father God, I ask that every single one of them will walk out of the hospital better than they walked in, obviously, because they are wounded, but better than they were before even going to school that day. I ask that comfort and peace go over each and every single one of these families. And Lord God, I ask that any fear that might be caused to any of these young people, that there is no PTSD for them, that they are free and clear from anything that would cause them to have fear from this moment forward,

and that they wouldn't even remember this. It would be just a blip on the screen for them. And for Pastor Garglock, Father God, we just thank you that you watched over him, you protected him, you kept him safe. We wage war against the spirits and principalities that are coming against him and his family. He's doing things, and he's doing things mighty and big for you. He is a warrior. And Father God, I just thank you for men like him. I thank you for your hedge of protection around him. And I know that no harm will come near his dwelling. It'll come to his right and to his left, but it will never touch him. And long life will he receive because

your word says it. And so will it be for each and every single one of his family members. As far as for President Trump, we thank you, Lord God, no bullet, no knife, no weapon, no nothing that tries to come against him will prosper. We thank you that he has a hedge of protection around him. And Lord, you have designed him to be whatever he is to be. And that is not to be somebody who is a martyr at this time and taken out for no reason. Lord, we ask you and we thank you for the hedge protection that surrounds him, that nothing will by any means come against him or again, right and left. It will come near him in that way, but it will not touch him and nor his family. Keep them safe. Keep them protected and let no politician, no politician, whether they know you or not, have anything come against them or harm them. That means Robert F. Kennedy.

Keep him. His life is in danger. Keep all of them. Watch over each and every single one of them. And Lord, let them all come to know you. Let them all be saved from Biden to Kamala to Pelosi to all the ones that people like just hate and despise. Lord, you love them. You love each and every single one of them. And you want them to you to to be one despise. Lord, you love them. You love each and every

single one of them and you want them to be one to you. You want to redeem them. You want to give them a long life. You want to give them a good life for eternity. So I ask that no harm come to anyone, anything, and they all come to know you and they become yours. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Amen. So here's the thing. Talia is not here today. Put yourself on. We're a small crew today. It's just us three today because Sarah is

chauffeuring. She's got chauffeur duty because one of her kids, they've gotten a car, but until I guess things are fully in in motion yeah um she's a chauffeur for her high school students so um she hopefully will be back soon and then talia got her wisdom teeth in um she's an anomaly i love it five wisdom teeth did they get all five out they did not get all five out they couldn't get the fifth one out and i guess it's dangerous they tried okay but i can

shoot right shoot up right in that sinus canal and like do some damage so they were like we're gonna leave that one there she'll never be the wiser but I mean it won't affect her but yes so what's beautiful is friendship is beautiful because when Norma had her wisdom teeth out

Talia nursed Norma because I'm like Courtney our kids are older they don't need to be babied. I mean, Norma likes to be babied, but to a certain extent. Even Talia likes to be babied to a certain extent. I, on the other hand, am like, leave me alone.

Tom's leaving me alone. Tommy's pretty much the same way. But Talia and Norma get each other very, very well. So when Norma got her wisdom teeth taken out Talia stayed with her for like two days and didn't leave her side and like made sure that she had the medications when she needed it and they they like had her all timed out or whatever I mean it is it is the sweetest thing Like she would, she did not leave her side. And Norma, Norma's was like, Talia's coming out like a champ.

My prayers worked for Tal. Norma, on the other hand, did not. I'm like, I have no faith when it comes to my own daughter. Norma's faith was this big. And the doctor, the doctor, after it was all done, she was like, yeah, that was, was that was a rough one like they couldn't get one of the wisdom teeth out of norma's mouth like she didn't have feeling for like two months on the side of her face oh yeah it was terrible and then they're like we we don't think we hit a nerve but we were way up in there we're pretty sure like it we had to go back several times because norma's norma's was not the norm hers was jacked yeah that's talia came out like a champ fair girl so norma has been doing

the same thing for talia talia has been at my house uh while norma has taken care of talia because like courtney could have yeah but like there are certain time frames where she's not going to be there right because she has she's like me she works she has to do things plus she has small children it's a whole thing being a mother ain't always easy wear many hats so Talia and Norma have mothered each other through this whole entire process. It is the sweetest thing ever. They're just great friends. So Talia is, I think, ready to eat a steak. I know.

Wow. I mean, I don't know. Like she's sore, but like she's not taking any pain meds anymore. Nothing. She's like on Advil. And she's doing fantastic. She's not taking any pain meds anymore. Nothing. She's like on Advil. And she's doing fantastic. She's doing great. What is we're watching?

Why am I still getting these? I thought it was on. What's Heather saying? We're watching from the doctor's office. Heather. Gotta love her. I know. And Heather's usually the one we're all calling.

Yes. Yes. Always. When we have teeth problems. Right. Or other her. I know. And Heather's usually the one we're all calling. Yes. Yes, always. When we have teeth problems. Right. Or other problems. I mean, but yeah. So Heather stayed in tune with both Norma and Talia as this process has proceeded. She's best.

Yes. When it comes to that stuff, 100%. So that's a good thing. So Talia's not with us, but I'm thinking she might be with us on Friday. What do you think? We'll see. I mean, she might have a tiny swollen face.

Her face isn't even barely swollen. Really? No, it's not. She looks fantastic. She was texting her mother at two in the morning. I know. I know. She's fine.

She's doing great. She's doing great. Come back, Talia. Yeah. So love you. She's, she's, she's fine. Great. She's doing great. Come back, Talia. Yeah. So love, love you. Miss you. Can't wait to see you. Yeah. I'll be seeing you. Well, you might be at my house when I get there. I don't know, but whatevs. Um, you want to do our thing? Are we good? Do you have anything you want to add? No, I think that was it. We got our little update for what's going on. It sounds like the newest update is that the gunman is probably 14 years old are you kidding me that's what they're saying on like the the main yeah the the school one so it's probably a 14 year old that attended that school and is probably angry

and bitter yep that's what the the like mainstream media is saying right now. Wow. That's insanity. Yep. So that's the newest update. But besides that. So sad. I know. It is. I mean, to have so much hate inside of you as a 14-year-old. I know.

That's heart-wrenching. It is. It is. Very angry and bitter. Parenting is super important, people. It sure is. I'm just saying. Parenting is super important. Do your job. And. I'm just saying. Parenting is super important. Do your job.

And if you know your kid's getting bullied, don't let them go to that school. Yeah. Like, bring them home. Make a change. Totally. Bring them home. Sacrifice. Sacrifice something.

Like, a lot of times parents know their kids are being bullied at school, and they just send them there every day. Absolutely not. To be, like, chewed up and spit out. No way. No way. Like, Veronica. Veronica.onica i'll take it no you know who i was thinking of i like that i was thinking of when i said veronica i was thinking of uh i can't say the last name do you know who i'm thinking of no thinking of okay if i say it then everybody will know who i'm talking about. It's just a person.

No, you don't know her because she came to the church. I thought it was maybe like a. Do you know who I'm talking about? Like she was in my head when I was about to say Vanessa. Because of bullying and stuff like that. So what I was going to say is if you're, not that she didn't do right by her kids. That's not what I was going to say is if you're not that she didn't do right by her kids. That's not what I was referring. But if you know, like Vanessa was saying, 100 percent, you bring your kid home.

Yeah. I don't get it. I'll be showing up. I will identify as a 14 year old. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? Somebody messing with one of our kids? No. Nope.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it couldn't be me. I mean, oh my gosh, everybody that I can like a part of the hope hotline. I think,

I mean, I could go beyond the, this, the ones that are in this, this group, but I know you guys like, I mean, Heather and Sarah and Vanessa and Tracy and Logan.

Holy crap. Me. You mess with my kid. Not good. Oh my gosh. Like I don't care if I go to jail. Right. Yeah.

Prison ministry. Yeah. Because I'm already getting hot thinking about it. I can't imagine like, but you send your kid to school every day knowing they're getting bullied and you do nothing about it. Well, how weak are you? What kind of a loser parent are you? And you don't bring them home and sacrifice homeschooling. I mean, be a parent. Be a parent. Love that kid. I guarantee you that kid was bullied, bullied, bullied and mistreated and just finally had

had enough. But even still, that's nuts to do something like that. It is. But nine times out of ten, it's already known that they're putting things out on social media that is destructive information.

Right. And people know about it. And then they kind of like, because they want it to happen, so we can have stricter gun laws. Of course. If the gun laws we had were actually applied and put into effect.

Like teachers carried. I wonder if something would happen if every teacher was able to carry. Yeah. Or even use the gun laws that we have in place. Maybe these things wouldn't happen. Yeah, absolutely. It's just crazy to me.

But there's an agenda attached to it, like you said. All day long. All day long. I know. All day long. It's just insanity to me. But I feel for those families. I actually feel for the victim.

I don't know if I necessarily feel victim, feel bad for the parents though. Me, how do you not know what's going on in your kid's life? My kids are 25 and 23 and I know what's going on in their life. How do you not know? And how do you ignore it? It's because you are more important, your life and being unaffected, you are more important than your own being unaffected you are more important than your the thing that you brought into this world unbelievable to me so self-centered so selfish so selfish even not saying something and standing up for your child is selfish and the reason it's selfish is because you don't you care more well about what people think about you and how bad of

a parent you might be or you're more worried about having to like stand up for something when you're not you yourself feel inferior get over it do what is right like but a lot of times even being shy it's not not i mean it is selfishness being shy people don't see it that it is. But 100% is. Evaluate. You know? I was just thinking about this today. And then I'm going to let you talk.

But I was just thinking about this today. When we lose our keys, when I was praying this morning, when we lose our keys, what do we do? We backtrack to the places that we went to find them or whatever we lose, right? We always go back and we look at how did this happen so that I can find what I'm looking for, right? When we fail, we never do that, though. When we fail, even our successes, when we fail or succeed, we never go back and find out why that particular thing took place. Because it would hurt our pride.

It would make us have to take responsibility for our actions. It might make us cause us to go to the next level of being successful. We're just not ready for that. Or we're like, we're so happy and content where we're at with the winnings that we've done that we're like, I'm comfortable. But we really should backtrack. What has made us successful? What has made us fail? Do it like when you lose your keys or you lose your phone or whatever it is. Go back and find out why that happened so it doesn't happen again. But we don't do that. And a lot of times it's because of not wanting to take responsibility for our actions or not propelling us to go to the next level.

All very, very dangerous. And if you actually looked at what made you a success, if you reapply that on a higher level, can you imagine how far you'll go? Ministerially wise, business wise, parental wise. Can you imagine? I can can but most people i'm okay yeah today's a good day yeah it's just like yesterday yeah if it's just like yesterday it's not that great of a day true because every day you should be making taking new ground right you should never be content with where you're at. And I don't mean in life, you should never be content because Paul tells us to be content. What I'm saying is you should never be content spiritually speaking. You should always be going to the next level.

Business-wise is the same thing as long as there's spiritual perspective on it. What were you going to say, Vanessa? No, I said absolutely. And something that the Lord has shown me in the past couple of weeks is he's given me the word grow. And as like Christians, as believers, as like just humans in general,

like we were made to grow and to enter into that next season and that next level. And it's like, what are we doing in the every day to water that? And it's like Magalas' sermon that she preached during the women's conference. It's like, what are you doing every day to have that compound effect so that you are growing, so that you are entering new levels? Because if you're not growing,

it's not like you're staying stagnant. You're like, you're like dying. Like you're going backwards. Yeah. Yeah. If there's not new growth to your, to whatever,

I mean, we're, we're to be pruned so that there is growth. Right. But if there's no new growth, eventually things start dying. Yeah. So true.

And so no growth means just like you said, you might not be dead at that time, but it leads to things having to be cut off. We want things that are not good to be cut off, but we need to be thriving. And the only way to thrive is taking on new ground. Yep. Absolutely. Yes.

Or being watered. Yes. Which is watered. Yes. Which is, you know, the scripture says we do grow with the washing of the water of the word. Yep. And a lot of times we don't do that. That's the problem. And that's how you grow. The washing of the water of the word.

It's just amazing. So, all right. Go, girlfriend. All right. Here we go. All right. So, our favorite, just kidding, not favorite at all, Facebook. I hate them.

We do. We have some beef even more. I feel like every day it's a little bit more beef towards them, but whatever. We're using and abusing for right now. But yeah, if you're over there, Vanessa already dropped the link to Rumble. So, head over. There's more conversation going over in Rumble. And plus, we want to support them.

They are totally cool about free speech. So, of of course that's the direction we're gonna go um we also have youtube available for you guys and so it's kind of youtube's about about the same as facebook um they're actually banned us probably more but you do have the option to have the subscribe going on so it just helps like you'll get a little notification letting you know that we're going live so that's always wonderful and. And then of course, Black Robe, if all else fails, we've got our good old Black Robe. Always all the podcast episodes are on there and it's just they're all in one little place. So that's kind of nice. And it's our own platform. So we have total control over that. And then, of course, we have our audio podcast that will go live after the podcast.

And it's just audio. So if you're in your car and you want to or you're downloading it to go listen to it on an airplane or something like that, you just want to have it playing and you want to catch up or there was a question that you really liked or you just want to send that to somebody, all these options are available for you guys. And then, of course, as always, we need you guys to send in your questions to askhopeathopehotline.com. We love hearing all the different questions you have. Hope loves hearing the backstory of stuff so she can kind of understand if it's a wordy question or just something that's like a little subjective to like your perspective and

how you do it. Like it's nice to have some backstory to it. So feel free to add a little bit more details in there so she can answer it properly. And of course, we've got our merch, foundationchurchfl.com. And you just click shop and it's all there available for you. We'll ship it out to you. If you are local, you can always come on a Sunday and it's available in our merch store right up front, right in the little lobby area. And we also have Foundation church merch and flp merch and uh just to highlight our cutie talia because we miss her so much that's our newest hat and

her jaw's a little more swollen than that yeah i was gonna say it probably is that was pre pre surgery on her wisdom teeth but yeah so that's and that's it today That's all we've got for this week. That's easy. Well, no, we still have Friday. Well, for nothing crazy going on this week or next week yet. We've got no new information coming out quite yet, but we will soon. We'll have some new stuff going on at church, and we'll make sure we're letting you guys know because you guys get to know early

because you guys are the peanut gallery gallery. Oh, my gosh. We got some great, you know, the holidays are coming. I can't even believe I'm saying that. I know. We're in the burr month. We are. So September.

October. I never thought about that. November. Burr. December. Burr. I did not thought about that. December. I did not ever realize that. It's the holiday season. I'm sorry.

Hey, what's that from? Oh, wait a minute. That's from a movie. That's not a good movie, is it? It's a horn. No, there is a movie. Do you remember that? No, but it's also on tiktok yeah no no no it's not on tiktok it's actually i think a bad movie oh really no i mean not x-rated or something

no well it probably got used and abused on tiktok like everything else it's a christmas movie i just remembered it it's called the office no is it I just remembered it. It's called The Office. No, is it The Office? Look it up. It's with Jason Bateman. Holiday Office? No. It's not a great movie, but I'm telling you right now, we just found it. Who killed Santa?

No. It's got Jennifer Aniston in it. Jason Bateman. And then the rest of them are like B actors. Office Party? Office Party. Thank you, Sean. He knew.

Ask Sean, do you like that movie? Do you like that movie, Sean? I love that movie. It's a Christmas movie? It's a Christmas movie. I just found it last year. It's not the greatest, people, but watch it on TV and it's cleaner.

If you have VidAngel. What is it? VidAngel. What is that? It is an app that you can stream movies on. And it will filter all the curse words and sexual content. Well, that's what the TV does pretty much. Yeah.

Yeah. So it makes it doable. I don't know. Like, I think I saw it only once. Um, like, you know, when they have like, um, HBO or they went with direct TV, we would have it every now and then they give you a free weekend or whatever. I think that's how Tom found the movie. Um, and I don't think there was anything sexual in it, to be honest with you. Um, you. It was bad language. But then you watch it on TV. But I'm telling you right now, great movie.

But part of it is... I'm glad you figured it out. I know that movie. But can you believe we're in the holidays? No, I can't. Absolutely not. It's just summer. I cannot...

Listen, it's January in my mind. I know. Literally January in my mind. I have to resist the urge to bring out the Christmas tree. I was thinking about you. I was literally thinking about you. No, too soon. Never.

it. I think he's only done one Christmas Eve Eve Eve before. Okay. He's only done that once. And I think is how it landed. And that'd be a Sunday night. That would be a Sunday night. Because usually Christmas Eve, we, we have family.

I know. That's what me and Heather were talking about, but some people didn't care about it this year. We usually go to church on Christmas Eve. So that would have been like, that was something that we did. Well, it was easy last year to do it on Christmas Eve because it was a Sunday. So people ate before they came. But normally, this is one of the things Heather and I were dissecting.

But last year, because it landed on Sunday, people could eat early because they weren't working. Normally, a lot of people work on Christmas Eve, get off a little early, but they don't have enough time

to do both food and service. Yeah. Yeah. So we just got to figure that Christmas Eve Eve works out great for most people, even like the staff, because then they, they're going to head off for Christmas.

They can head off like Christmas Eve day and head off for either their own personal vacation or they can head off to see their family and be there Christmas morning. So we've done it for multiple reasons. But it is the Burr months. I'd never thought about that, but I cannot believe it. I know. I told Tom, you get to set August 31st.

I know. And you blank in Christmas this year. I know. Every year. Every year. I love this time of year. Me too. Me too.

Like I was walking this morning and it was beautiful out. Yeah. And usually September is the worst. True. October's when it starts cooling off. Yeah. August, September are the worst. Yeah.

You're very, very true. Yeah. But. If this rain can go somewhere. I know. This rain is wild. I'm sure of it. And it's thundering outside right now. It is.

Yes, it is. Every single day. Like, off the charts. It's relentless. It is relentless. You know, the thing is, is it's like, Tom and I were talking about this just last night. Normally, there's afternoon thunderstorms. Right. But these are like, torrential.

Like, way more than normal. Right. But we've seen this before it's not like we haven't even seen this before but it's like off the charts like ease up shorty right we're done yeah it's usually like three to four you know torrential rain and then it's done and then it's blue again I feel like consistently and randomly morning afternoon and evening and they say like he doesn't go up. I know. Past seven. I know. What is going on?

Well, I know what's going on. I am sure of it. Tell me right now. Well, they say the angels in heaven are bowling when it's sundering. Stop. That makes so much sense. I think there's an Olympics up there. A bowling Olympics.

Oh, my goodness. A tournament of some sort. It's that time of year. That makes complete sense. Yeah, there's a tournament going on up there or something. I thought you were going to say Bill Gates. I did too. Who knows? That could happen too because you know they try and control the weather. I know that's conspiracy, but

it's been proven because we did that in the Vietnam War. We did control the weather in Vietnam War. Someone said chemtrails i mean you never know you can check the cia page there's plenty of information out there that's all i'm gonna say what are you talking about about anything check the cia they've admitted to a lot of stuff why they do what they do like weatherhmm Tracy oh well listen I'll ask chipper for the we need to get him the deal oh my gosh no for real there's you know what I want I want to have

I want to have chip I know my podcast well he's supposed to come this winter so we'll have to once he are you kidding me he's supposed what? Supposed to come up this winter. Come down this winter. Here. Oh, to help with your... Well, no. It's going to get done before then. Jesus name. Tracy, your dad is coming.

So funny. That's happening. Okay. Perfect. I'll have him pick his topics. No. I'm picking the topics. I'm not letting your dad.

Listen. Because some things will never end. It could get really interesting. Uh-huh. We have to control that conversation. I don't know if you can. I'll get thrown off Rumble. You will.

Even I will get thrown off Rumble. Yes. Even on Rumble. Uh-huh. Okay. Okay. We're going to do sponsors. Let's go.

It's getting late. And I do not want to like. I know. Screw my girl. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Ready.

So Laura Keller and the Real Estate Appraisal Associates of Southwest Florida, Inc. has been in business since 2005. She is a Florida State Certified Residential Appraiser and has been for 24 years with three locations, Lakewood Ranch, Port Charlotte, and Tampa. And she can assist almost anyone, anywhere. She is one of the most trusted appraisal companies in Southwest Florida and has done approximately 10,000 appraisals and are approved by over 300 banks, lenders, and government entities

all over the United States. Her company does appraisals for just about everything, residential properties, up to four units. They work with FEMA using 50% rule, settling estates, probate situations, inherited properties where the heir or heirs are not local and need the appraisal for their attorney, step-up basis for appraisal for capital gain taxes. Which, people, if you own properties, if you know anything,

if you're following politics, you need to understand what the Bidenomics, what Biden is proposing, which would be over 40%, I think it's 44%, something like that, capital gains tax. Frightening. Frightening. You need to know. So listen, you don't think an appraisal is important for that? If they're taking money on one end,

you need to be making sure that you get the top dollar on the other end so you're not losing on both sides, sale and capital gains tax. And they also provide assistance in selling properties. If you get an appraisal, you can sell your house that much faster. So give her a call and tell her that the whole plot line told you to give her a call and you'll receive a $50 discount. Then we have Hanson Automotive. He's been in business for seven, I wish I said seven years, right? I remember when he started out and to do his own business and uh

i've never seen somebody take a leap of faith well first of all they're tithers that's huge right there in and of itself but never saw somebody take a leap of faith with nothing and flourish like within two to three months after they took the leap of faith, knew God told him to do it, has done his business with integrity and character. And he tries and almost 99.9% succeeds on doing right by his clients. Like you're not going to please everybody all the time and you will make mistakes. That's life. But what he does is when he does make a mistake, he does it right by his people. And most mechanics are finding problems and he is actually looking for solutions.

So for that, you might want to call him. And we're to honor our brothers and sisters in Christ. And we should, like, honor them and do business with them. That's the way it goes. So blessed, blessed, blessed to know Nick Hanson. And he's been not only a good friend, but boy, he has done our family right every single time when we've taken our vehicles into him. And we got four. So let me tell you, a lot can go wrong.

And I am so glad that he's my mechanic because holy mackerel, somebody else would have tried to take me. It's already expensive to get your vehicle fixed. But then on top of that, when you have a scoundrel who's like cheating you, you'll never be cheated by him. He'll do you right. So give him a call. You won't be disappointed. And so blessed. They're such great people.

I know. I love them. I mean, both of them, Laura and Nick, just great people. I can't say enough about it, about both of them. So first question. We ready, girls? Yeah, let's go. How fast can your fingers move, Vanessa, with the scriptures?

Are you ready? I'm stretched. She's stretching over there. She's cracking her nails. Not her nails. Her fingers. Her fingers and knuckles. She's ready. She's stretching over there she's cracking her nails not her nails her fingers her fingers and knuckles yeah she's ready he's ready um okay the question is i'm wondering what will we eat in heaven and thank you for doing the podcast i enjoy listening um such a great question yeah but i will ask one thing before i move forward because I'm about to freeze in this room.

Can you turn down just one degree the AC? Because I'm about to be a popsicle. I'm sitting on my hands every now and then. Are you cold? It's cold. You're cold too? Mm-hmm. Feels as cold, if not colder, than Sunday mornings in the sanctuary.

Whew. Okay. Girl's freezing. Okay. We're going to look at scripture first because really, I don't know. I mean, I do know. I just don't know. I know we're going to eat because there's scriptures that say we will. And then what we will eat specifically, the word gives us an idea of what we're going to eat to a certain extent. Let's look at Revelations 22, 1 through 3. And if you can hear the rain pounding on the roof, my apologies. But it is coming down like, I want to say mother trucker.

Cats and dogs. Cats and dogs. There you go. I don't know what a mother trucker is, but it sounds like that right there. I bet that would be it. Oh, my gosh. I wonder if they can hear that. Probably.

Holy moly. It's so loud. Sounds like hail. It's coming down so hard. I know. It's loud. It is loud. We don't get hail in Florida, though, right? I haven't seen it since I've lived here. I know. It's loud. It is loud. We don't get hail in Florida, though, right?

I haven't seen it since I've lived here. I haven't ever seen it. Uh-uh. And Oklahoma does. Yes. Because I've seen that on the side of the road. Have you? It was huge.

Oh, my gosh. I was like, what is that? We pull over, and I'm like, that's dadgum hail. We just missed a hailstorm. Thank you, Jesus. It was in the middle of summer. It was August. A hailstorm in August. It was hotter than

snot. But that stuff probably did major damage to vehicles. Exactly. That's what I was going to say. It was huge. I don't know. Back to scriptures. Revelations 22, 1-3 that we're going to do in the New King James version, says,

And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. And in the middle of its streets and on the other side of the river was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruits every month. So there's a tree. What I say is a lot of times scholars will tell you that the new heaven will be much like the Garden of Eden. Because really, no sin was ever supposed to enter into the garden. And it was supposed to be paradise forever. But they did eat.

Adam and Eve ate in the garden they ate from the the trees that were in the garden which we know were fruit we don't know specifically what the fruit was that the serpent gave Eve but we know it was fruit so one thing that I do believe is that we will eat fruit because it'll be there I do know we'll also eat because Jesus said that he wasn't going to eat the last at the Last Supper he wasn't gonna eat again until we were all back together after after the rapture when he came well he was crucified risen again and then when he comes to bring us back,

and then he, you know, Revelation, I think it's 20, when he comes with the white horse, and he takes vengeance, I think that's like 20, I think that's chapter 20. So after that, when he comes and he destroys the earth, that's when we'll all be together again. And that's when we'll all eat again. So he said he wouldn't be doing that until we were all back together again in heaven. So I know we will have another supper and I'll show you the scriptures there. But there's going to be a river of water.

So I would presume we're going to be drinking from possibly that water because it's pure. And I would believe that there's 12 fruit trees and all of them yield a different fruit every month. So imagine that. Yeah, so cool. Like my neighbor has this tree that has these little fruits on it and they taste like cotton candy oh my gosh they're so good oh i've never seen them before and they're about this big

or maybe that big and heather i think it just bought one or whatever but they're so tiny oh my gosh they taste like cotton candy they are unbelievable and that's here and i yeah that's what i was going to say. Can you imagine what the fruit tastes like up there? Yes. But so. Does it? Oh, it does say water.

I was going to say, maybe the river is like Red Bull. It'd be pure and healthy. I would love that. But you know, dates, there's dates. There's all different kinds of things, right? So if you think about what Jerusalem has and things like that, I would think that maybe hummus. I'm pretty good with that. I wouldn't mind that.

Some people believe, because when I was doing the research on this, like Billy Graham had a great read on this that he took scriptures on, like what he thought, like what we would eat in heaven and stuff like that. It was very, very interesting. But a lot of people believe it's fruits, nuts, and grains. Okay. Yeah. It's interesting.

Fruits, nuts, and grains. Listen, I can have an acai bowl every single day of my life. I'm good with that 100 can i like mill the grain and turn it into bread you want chocolate chips in yours i don't need chocolate chips and bread yeah sourdough sourdough can i make it into sourdough can i bring a packet of sourdough with me but flour i think you need flour for that i'm just not sure that's possible okay i can't just like mill it and then like make it into bread. I pay money to see you mill anything.

I pay big money to see you mill. Right now. Yeah. I don't have all year. What? I'm very strong. I can do it fast. Oh my God.

Anyways, I think the fruit will be amazing. And I'm here for some good fruit. It probably is filling too. Well, you know, the thing is a lot of people want to know, are we going to eat meat? But, I mean, they didn't. I mean, the eating of meat did not happen until after sin with um in in the garden like the eating of meat didn't happen until noah's day right so because they tilled the earth and stuff like that uh so it was i believe

it was after it was after noah that they began to eat meat, if I remember correctly. So I think that everything, if we base a lot of things on just the Garden of Eden and like that time where Adam and Eve walked the earth, I think that would be a great example of what we will take and eat when we go to heaven. And if you hate fruits and vegetables, you're screwed. That's all I'm going to tell you. If you're a carnivore, you might be in trouble. You'll be a new creation.

You'll love everything. You'll love what's up there. You're going to have to. You're going to have to be a part of the Clean Plate Club. Can you imagine? Like Tom hates fruit and he hates vegetables.

He's in trouble. He's in big trouble. He eats nuts. He's going to live on nuts. I'm just saying. And grain. He'll be milling with me. It could be bad for Tom Lively.

For me and Tommy, Norma's in trouble too. Yeah, I was going to say. Norma's no better. She eats just like her father. But it's going to taste so good. But me and Tommy, we're going to be in our glory. Maybe there'll be a fruit that tastes like a cheeseburger. Or like a ribeye.

A ribeye. If there is, Tom will find it. I can promise you that. There's probably somewhere in the corner of this universe. I will be thriving. You just pop it in. Then you can go on your day. Just get us some red beans and rice.

Yeah, that's true. That's true. That would. Just get us some red beans and rice. Yeah. That's true. That's true. That would work. We'll be good. We'll be good. I don't need much. And an acai bowl.

Yeah. I don't need much. Yeah. Happy every day. There we go. Happy every day. Well, you know, it's going to be. Sorry.

See what happens when she gets a full mic? That's right. You know, it's like I think that's why we'll be nice and fit and thin. That's true. Because we're eating properly. Because abs are made in the kitchen. And no preservatives.

No processed foods. We're set up to be skinny. All fresh. 100%. So we'll all be to be skinny. All fresh. Yeah. Totally. Oh, yeah. 100%. Sounds like a good life. So we'll all be like nice and skinny and fit. And then can't do anything. Huh?

We'll just all be friends. Yeah. To be nice and skinny. Just in time to all be friends. Brothers and sisters in Christ. I know. I know. Right now you're like,

lights out. And then you'll be like, there you'll be like, lights on. And you're like, I'm all by myself. Oh man. That was for Friday.

Friday podcast. Go back to Friday. So the next scripture is Mark 14, 25. This is King James version. It says, surely I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it in the new kingdom of God. So that's what Jesus was saying. And then he went on to say in Luke 22, 30, it says that, that, that you may eat and drink at my table. And if you look at the, the M in my, it's capitalized, meaning Jesus is saying this, that you may eat and drink at my table. And if you look at the M in my, it's capitalized, meaning Jesus is saying this,

that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel. That's what he was saying to the disciples. So when they go to heaven, which is just like us, we're no different than them. We may not be judging the 12 tribes of Israel, but we will eat and drink as well at his table. So then there's Luke 24, 42 through 43. It says, so they gave him a piece of broiled fish.

Now this is scripture when Jesus died on the cross, was resurrected, and then he met the disciples down on the beach because they had been fishing all night. And so this is what happened when they saw him. If you remember, Peter jumped out of the boat and the rest of them and swam to the shore to meet him because they realized it was Jesus. And then the rest of the disciples and the other fishermen, they rowed the boats into the land. This is what the scripture says that was present at that time on the beach. So they gave him, capital H meaning Jesus, a piece of broiled fish and some honeycomb. And he took it and ate in their presence. So here's my thing.

This is what I say. If Jesus ate fish, could we possibly be eating meat? Could we possibly be eating fish? Fish. Yeah, that makes sense. I can see fish. I mean, maybe we're pescatarians. Yeah, exactly. I can see

that. I don't know. I don't either. But if he was able to eat fish, I think so. But he ate it on earth. That's the only thing that makes me go, not in heaven. As long as the rivers are water and not Red Bull, there's probably fish in there.

I think they could live even in Red Bull. Heavenly Red Bull, that's true. Exactly. Okay. So my thing is, is maybe, and I'm a fish lover. I love fish. Yeah. Of all kinds.

Yeah. Even the nastiest of nasty fish. I love it. Yeah. I mean, I like catfish. Okay. And that's a bottom dweller. Yeah. But I love it. Okay. It's So good. Do you hate catfish or like it? I don't love fish. Oh, you're in trouble.

I know. So I'll just be extra skinny. Hey, you can lose weight on fish. High and pro. Yeah. High and pro. If I'm only eating nuts and berries. Yeah.'t know. I might be skinnier than you guys, so don't be mad at me in heaven. There's no being mad in heaven. Don't be jealous. You won't be able to live up there if you're jealous. I know. You'll be kicked out immediately. You do not pass go.

Do not collect $100. You're gone. What about crab legs? Do you think there's little crabs? I don't care as long as i love everything scalp i don't like oysters but oysters i love them you don't like them oh my gosh i get violently sick every time i eat them i just don't understand it and muscles i don't understand the goo i don't't either. Oh, I love it.

I love it. It makes me want to like, yeah. I'm surprised you like it too. I know. Like the gab reflex with like, I don't like, I know, but I'm not eating a booger.

But it looks, and I can imagine. It doesn't. It's salty. It's like when you pull it out, it looks like a hunk of meat. I don't know. Does it?

Yeah, it does. Okay. Okay. Yeah, it sure does to me. Don't you convince me of anything otherwise. It definitely is a hunk of meat. I'm not kidding you because I might not be able to do it. I'm just saying, don't show me a picture.

No, no, no. It looks like meat for sure. Yeah. Definitely. Anna Maria, the restaurant, the new one here. Yeah. Excellent. Oysters? Yeah. Really? Every time we go there, he orders a half dozen. Oh my gosh, because I used to go the restaurant, the new one here? Yeah. Excellent. Oysters? Yeah. Really? Every time we go there, he orders a half dozen. Oh, my gosh.

Because I used to go, when I used to go to Nashville, they have this unbelievable seafood restaurant. And believe it or not, in Nashville, I was shocked. Me too. But we would shuck those oysters and just like down them They were like the best oysters And I'm like Maryland crab the whole thing I'm like I can

I don't mind working for my food A lot of people are like there's just too little You know what they say about oysters right An aphrodisiac It's not true I mean if you're using an aphrodisiac. It's not true. I mean, if you're using Jeff as a barometer for that,

that's not the right barometer. Sorry. Yeah. That's, I mean, the man's in go mode all the time. Across the board. Come on. Whatever.

Whatever. Luke 1329. Let's go back to being spiritual yeah exactly yeah even though you know it's really all about us three today i know absolutely but this is the amplified classic classic it says and people will come from east and west from north and south and sit down and i love what this says because in parenthesis says, feast at table in the kingdom of God. We're eating. Now what we're eating, I do not know.

So did I answer your question? No, I didn't answer your question. I know this. But I am telling you, there are things in heaven that I truly believe will be available to us. I mean, we can clearly see it. There's fruit. There's fruit trees.

There's water. So I believe we're definitely going to eat fruit. That's what Adam and Eve did. I believe that we'll drink the water. Everything will be superior to what we've ever known. But meat, I just don't know. Yeah. I don't either.

Good question mark. And there's lots of trees that have, like, trees have nuts. Yeah. There's cocoa bean. Yeah. You know, there's plants, things like that. You might get the best cup of coffee you've ever had in your entire life. I'm betting on it.

But you will never be addicted to it because there is no addictions in heaven. That's true. You get kicked out. Do not pass go. Do not collect $100. You gone. You gone. You start getting addicted to something other than Jesus. Out. Jesus is going to know. He's going to

show up at your door. It's not going to happen. Can't happen. So there just might be some things that aren't up there. Probably. For our own temptation. So we don't end up like Satan. Getting thrown out. We don't need to do this all over again.

Can you imagine? Please no. Can you imagine? I don't want to. Vanessa is the one that throws us all out. We got to start all over. The thing is, if she's married to Jeff, which there's no marriage.

I will tell you this. Jeff is not like Adam. That's true. Adam was a very weak man. He keeps me in check. Jeff will never be ruled by a woman. True. He'll be respectful and loved.

Respected and loved. Yeah. And cherished. Yes. But never ruled by a woman. Right. So true. So he would smack that piece of fruit right out of Vanessa's hand and say, get out, woman.

I say, woman, because that's him. Get out, woman. Get away. What are you thinking? Make your peace with the Lord, woman. Exactly. Is what he would. Get away. What are you thinking? Make your peace with the Lord, woman, is what he would say. What are you thinking? He'll tackle. He'll tackle you to the ground.

What are you thinking? Yeah. That would have, if in Genesis, we started out with Vanessa and Jeff, instead of saying, in the beginning, Jesus created Adam, it would have been, if in the beginning, God created Jeff. I know. Instead of saying, in the beginning, Jesus created Adam. It would have been if in the beginning, God created Jeff. We would still be in the garden. You would still be in the garden because that would never happen with Jeff in a million years.

For real. I can promise you it would never happen with Tom. True. Tom would have grabbed the snake and whipped it around maybe not well no he might have because he's not afraid that that afraid of snakes right mm-hmm and that moment he'd be like you gone you gone exactly just some men you just know they're not gonna be a follower they're gonna like not put up with it. So Adam went potentially would have caved to COVID as well. Ooh.

You never know. That's a word. You just don't know. So gotta be strong. Wonder how long it took, like how long it took for them. Like, did she say no a lot of times or did it happen pretty quickly?

Well, it only mentions it once i know i think it he but is it like satan entered into the snake it says right right didn't say how many times no right right did he go into like a a butterfly at first and was like hey let's be friends and they went into a snake and he was like, hey, eat the apple. What does the Message Bible say? Sarah. Sarah, if you're watching, can you send us what the Message Bible says? How many times did he ask her? Just one?

Because that's pretty ridiculous. One time and you get tricked. Tracy's added conspiracy theory to this whole entire thing. Always. I got more, but I won't do it. I won't do it. Please. It's way too late. Reel it in.

Yeah, it's way too late. Reel it in, girl. It's only Wednesday, guys. That's for Friday's show? That's a Friday show. Not a Wednesday. Oh, my gosh. It gets pretty crazy.

I have to sneeze. Hold on one moment, though. Okay, hold on. Hold on. Is it going to be an angry one? Isn't it always? Oh. I've learned with Tom. I've scared him so many times with my sneezes. You have to be silent angry one? Isn't it always? Oh. I've learned with Tom.

I've scared him so many times with my sneezes. You have to be silent. Was that even a sneeze? It was. He's like, you're going to blow your brains out. No, you're not. Listen, just let it go. You're going to hurt yourself over there.

And I'm like, never. Never? I'll hurt myself before I sneeze in front of you, dude. Oh, my gosh. It's like eating in front of us. I'm stubborn in that way. I'm chewing gum in front of Jeff now. Oh, yeah. I'll hurt myself before I sneeze in front of you, dude. Oh, my gosh. It's like eating in front of us. I'm stubborn in that way. It's like me chewing gum in front of Jeff now. Oh, yeah.

I can't do it. I'll just videotape you. There's certain things that will just not happen with Tom. Yeah. He's like, I've ruined you. Yes, you have. Yes, you have. Yes, you have.

We're that proud of you. You really, really have. Yeah. It's never happening. Yeah. It's not worth it. Yeah. Yeah. But like chewing gum in front of Jeff. He's never happening. It's not worth it. Yeah. Yeah.

But like chewing gum in front of Jeff. He's ruined you, right? 100%. And does it bother you that much? No, I don't care. No. I'm like, move on. I'm all right.

Yeah. Yeah. He's got some gnarly footage of me just going to town on some gum. And dancing. And singing. I know. He always catches your best moments. Thank God Tom doesn't really care about the phone. Doesn't think about it.

Right. Oh my gosh. I bless that man. But that's why you got Talia. True. Oh my gosh. Talia makes up for Jeff, for Tom.

Yes, she does. That girl. One last question. Cause this is going to be fast. i'm ready and i really don't want to say i only got through one question okay okay go ahead so let's say we on two if you were gifted a form a form this must this isn't grammatically correct it says if you were gifted a form of one transportation or it says if you were gifted a form of one transportation or it says if you

were gifted a form one transportation but it must be if you're gifted a form of transportation or one form of transportation what would you be so excited for a sports car a yacht a private jet, a helicopter, or a luxury RV? Would I? None of the above. It's not, I wasn't like, none of those, like. Wow. Nothing. What I said, right now in life, probably a nice SUV.

Okay. Okay. All right. And not even that big of an SUV. I would like one that is kind of small. Like I don't need, I don't like big. Why do I need big? Right.

You don't right now. So for me, like. You have to park the thing. I know. Oh, yeah. I mean, this sounds ridiculous, but I mean, I tell you right is about as, I just, I'm not like, I'm not a covetous person. Like I don't look at people's rides and be like,

oh, I wish I had that. Or that's so not, I'm not, I don't look at people's rides and be like, oh, I wish I had that. Or that's so not. I don't really care about that stuff. There's little in life. I love shoes. Yeah, I was going to say, you like shoes. I love shoes. And I can appreciate a nice pair of shoes.

But even when I see that nice pair of shoes, I'm like, I don't really want that pair of shoes. I don't know if there's anything in life that anybody has that I'm like, I wish that was mine. Or they're so lucky, I wish that nothing. I love, I can appreciate nice pieces of jewelry. And I think, oh man, I'm so happy for them. Like Kristen just got, oh my gosh, my girlfriend Kristen that just was here, right? She's all of our girlfriends, right?

But Kristen just came into town and she got, Lee bought her this beautiful wedding band set. I think probably anniversary or whatever. I don't know. Holy moly. It is absolutely, Oh my gosh. So freaking gorgeous. I didn't see it. I thought I missed it.

So beautiful. Send me a pic. So beautiful. But even that, all I could feel is like, dang, I'm so happy for her. Like that is so, she's so freaking deserves that.

But I don't want that. I'd hardly ever wear a band. I mean, if I had a nice one, then I might. But even that, I would probably take off every now and then. I mean, I just am not about, like, a lot of times, and I've noticed this, and the Lord has really checked me on it. Like, a lot of times, and I've noticed this, and the Lord has really checked me on it. Like a lot of times, back in the day, I used to like want nice purses and stuff like that. And the Lord quickened me.

And I was like in my 30s. Why do you want that? And I had to be honest with myself. Why I wanted it. And I didn't like why I wanted it. So the Lord said, someday you will have it, but you'll have it when your heart's in the right place. And you won't have to go and buy it. So the Lord said, someday you will have it, but you'll have it when your heart's in the right place and you won't have to go and buy it. I will get it for you. And that's exactly how it happened. But I could care less. Now I'm like, there is nothing in life. I can be happy for

people all day long because I rejoice when somebody is blessed, but I don't have to have none of that stuff. Like I don't look at anybody and say, man, I wish that was me. I don't want to be anybody else. I'm like Tom. It's not because I love me. I do love me. I don't want to be anybody else. But it's just because like life is dang good.

And I don't have like, like I don't live in a king's palace. I don't like have the biggest and best. But I'm so grateful for what I got. I mean, I have way better than most. I think that's what Paul was talking about. Like a lifestyle being content. Yeah. Yeah. I agree.

Like if you came to my house, you be like it's a normal house it's not like you wouldn't be going like wow I thought you're you know you might say wow I thought your house would be better I love your house I love my house but I mean it's not anything like over the top it's not over the top yeah Yeah. Nothing. But for me, I'm like, I pull into that driveway and I'm like, man, I love my house. I know. I'm like so lucky. Yeah. And some people just, I don't know.

Like. So for this, when I thought about this, I'm like, I don't even want, I love my car. I don't really need a different car. But I did say, but what I, so if I was going to pick something, probably like a Telluride or something like, I don't need need a different car. But I did say, so if I was going to pick something, probably like a Telluride or something. I don't need a big name. I'm not into name brands and stuff like that because I just feel like it doesn't make you,

a lot of people get those cars and they want people to ooh and ah over them when they pull into wherever they're going and think that they have lots of money or whatever. I'm not saying everybody does because that's not true. There's lots of people who have those nice vehicles, and they don't feel like that. Their perspective on things is very correct.

I know people that are like that. I walk in a sphere of people who have very nice things, but they would give them away to you quickly. They don't hold on to anything. But a lot of people think, I used to know a pastor and his wife, and when they got a really nice car, they wanted to make sure that they went to certain people's homes and they saw that and they showed them that vehicle because they felt like now people would feel, it would validate them. Now people would actually feel that they're legitimate. And I thought when they were telling me that, I was like, you're in big trouble.

You're in big trouble. If you think that what you drive validates you, you're in big trouble. It's what's coming out of this and what's in here. That's what makes you who you are. So for me, a vehicle, jewelry uh my house nothing i mean it's not going to make people i mean carnally people will think like maybe you have something they don't but why do you want somebody to feel like that you need to check yourself if that's how you if you want people to envy you or covet what you have you have problems

and you need to that's very carnal and you need to fix that big time check your heart yeah your heart big time yeah but if i traveled a lot yeah yeah that's where the plane might come in handy because i get why jonathan has that plane i know and the reason he has it is because he don't want to stay all day in lines waiting on a plane that's going to get canceled over and over and over again where he doesn't see his family. He's already like Pastor Rodney and all of them,

they're already conquering the world for Jesus and they want to come home to their family without delays. They deserve that. So for me, if I was doing their stuff, I'd want that. Yeah. Only because I don't want to be at the.

The mercy. Yeah. That's a great word for it. I was thinking demise. But I don't want to be at the mercy of the airlines or some vaccinated pilot who might collapse because you know exactly you had to get vaxxed there what about you guys very curious yeah what would you get my like first gut reaction was the private jet yes so that i can travel um but also, I didn't even think of using it as a ministry tool, to travel to different nations.

But for me, I was just thinking I want to travel more. Yeah, and see, I have no desire to travel. I love it that people are doing all these fun things. When you were in Hawaii, gosh, I just love that for you guys. I just thought that is just, but you know what? I have no desire to go to Hawaii. I don't, I can appreciate it. And I love it that my friends are like just having the time of their lives.

I love that. But like pull every hair out of my head. I have no desire to make that flight or to to be in Hawaii. I have no desire whatsoever. Like you just shoot me. That's how much I want to go to Hawaii or anywhere else for that matter. Unless unless it's fall leaves and I can maybe take the drive. I just don't.

I have no desire for that stuff. Put me in a cabin with my husband, with the fall leaves, and it can be a trip that we take it in a drive so we can have fun yapping the whole way there. Have fun yapping. Or it's just the two of us. If I have to deal with people and I'm cattle and I'm mooing the whole entire

time, like I'm like the airport, you're just another number. They're just moving you through like you're a piece of meat. No desire. Get me in a car where I can drive somewhere. Get there pretty fast. Yes. I'm in.

OK. I have no desire for that stuff, though. I love it and appreciate it for others, but not me. But go ahead. What about you? So I knew about this question because we've had this on our docket for a little while. So I'm going to show you my dream transportation. Are you ready?

Yes. Is it helicopter? What? What? There she is. You prepared for this? I prepared for this. This is the actual one that I want I've been following this

guy on Instagram and I want a helicopter so bad it's Chris and Becky they're just photographers but he also is a helicopter guy and he has this black one he fixed it all up he blacked it all out I know I love it and I think that would be so cool it'd have to be a fear I'd have to overcome but I went on a helicopter in the Grand Canyon. And I was like, you just go up and then you come right back down. And I just think that it is. Yeah, but the doors are open and it gets cold. Okay.

I don't like that. You can close the doors. Look, let's go back. See on this one over here? Look at closed doors, closed doors. Does that have heat in there? Oh, yeah. I'll make sure there's a heating blanket. No, I don't want closed doors. Does that have heat in there? Oh, yeah. I'll make sure there's a heating blanket.

No, I don't want a blanket. I want a heater. Okay, heater, heater. Yeah. I think the engine gets hot. I don't know. Anybody? Anybody know?

I don't know. I have no idea. I'm not up for being cold, and I'm not up for being hot. So a helicopter probably is out for me. Okay. But I like the easy option when they land right there and they just go and go to the next place they're somewhere in 20 minutes and i'm like oh yeah that just sounds so efficient you know what's great about a helicopter it's not like a plane where it needs

a long landing that's what i mean yeah i mean that is a beautiful thing i agree with you on that it is so we have a perfect helicopter pad right out here. We do. They land there all the time. They sure do. Uh-huh. We have people landing on our property all day. Well, we have Bay Flight landing on it.

It's not good when they land. We're out there praying by the door. But we do pray, right? Yeah. Absolutely. I will say, when Bay Flight comes, the people that are getting on that helicopter, they got a lot of people praying over them that's the best place that thing could have landed on our church parking

property God bless we're praying a lot alright well that's it we done we good we will see you Friday thanks for tuning in and love you lots. Bye.

Bye. Real talk. Real talk. Real talk. Thanks for watching! you you you you
