Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, it's speedy, and this is Rick and Bubba's Greatest tits,
flashing back through thirty one years of Radio Gold every
Saturday morning, wherever you get your podcast, it's Rick and
Bubba's Greatest tits.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Ricking Bubba, Ricking Bubba.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
We talk about a lot of times it's you can't
carry this job home with you because it, you know,
peer pressure a lot of times has pointed out in
a negative way. It also can be a positive thing
if you have the right people around you. But you know,
I'm bad. I'll go home and you know, I'll get
to raising on Betty or something like we do around here,

(00:37):
and you know I'll get the hay time out. You
ain't with the boys anymore, you know, and I go
I forgot I didn't throw the switch, you know, I
got I gotta go to I gotta go to home, Bubba,
you know, come over where. I'm a kind, loving and
caring husband, that's right, Yeah, always willing to do odd
jobs around the house without delay. So, but Greg got
me in trouble this weekend because since Greg has been here,

(01:00):
how you dress has become more of an issue than ever.
I mean, you used to give me the hay, you
know how the bear cats do. And if I got
on red and black all that, you know, I'm used
to that, which was a reference to Weaver where we
grew up, you know. Or if you got on white
and black, I ask you how the panthers are doing?

Speaker 4 (01:16):
You know all that?

Speaker 3 (01:17):
But Greg brought a level of brutality to your dress
attire that quite frankly scarred Michael Hams for about three.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Months, just that one series.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
Stand in my closet in the morning and contemplate because
of Greg Bird.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah, that's what I do too.

Speaker 6 (01:34):
I think.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
I think can Greg make fun of this yester or.

Speaker 7 (01:37):
Money as you would think? I'd be a snazzy dresser
because of it? And I don't dress no better than y'all.
You know what, But I even go ahead. I named
my dress as he gets him a pop. How about this,
I've named my clothing what Greg will call them when
I get here.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
Right, let me get the barber shirt and put.

Speaker 7 (01:50):
It under that.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah, I go ahead, I go ahead and try to
take the joke away when I get here. Like if
I've got on a shirt that they say a barber
shop quartet would wear, I will just run in and go, hey, guys,
practice at four today. I got baritone, you know, I mean,
I just go ahead and get it out of the way.

Speaker 7 (02:06):
If it ever gets cold again and I wear a
flannel shirt, I grab it, going on, let me get
my brownie paper towels shirt.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Well, uh, this Sunday, this Sunday, and it was it
was my fault, and I feel bad about it. And
uh we sit down. And I usually sit on the
front row in Sunday school class because of my AA
H D F D I C M C A M A,
and uh you know, I I that's the only why
I can pay attention. If I get in the back,
I start thinking about snacks. And you know, we have
a snack ministry that's Hay number one. And uh you know,

(02:34):
if you run a little late and you didn't get breakfast,
you know, Sister Schubert's waiting on you when you get
tear it out. And so that's always, uh you know,
I look forward to that, and so I have to really,
you know, focus, and uh so I'm sitting in the
front one of them, and we have several guys that
rotate through all of them very good. But one of
my favorite was teaching this week and uh, he's doing Uh.

(02:54):
It was doing a study in Ezekiel and doing some
companion work out of Daniel and how the to work together.
It was a very good topic. I love Ezekiel, It's
a great, great book. So I'm fired up. And he
starts by saying that, you know, we've got a lot
to cover, more than we can get to, so we
got to really get into it and move on so
we can get done and get out of here. And

(03:17):
then I blurted out something and it just like Rick,
it was my spine talking, and it was due to
conditioning here. I said, what time does the bowling league start?
And the look on his face was like, what did
you just say? I'm up here fix it, you know,
And he's looking at me, and by then laughter has

(03:37):
broke out in the class because I said a little
louder than I know. Betty's elbowing me, and he looks
at his shirt he's got on, and he has on
a black collared shirt that hangs just a little bit low,
and it's a cut square and it's got big white
stripes in the front of it, vertical going up and down.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
All he needed was a wrist brace and he.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Was, and he looked at me and I said, what
team are young?

Speaker 4 (04:02):
You couldn't I couldn't.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
I just couldn't quit. You know, I had him down.
And you know it's just that mentality here that you
just used to keep pushing and pushing.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Well, plus you had you some support and people started laughing.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
And that was, you know, because it looked exactly like
a Bowling League shirt that you would have. And and
I even may have made a comment about how the
Black Knights looking this year.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
I know, with a name.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
And he looked at me, and you know, he tried
to recover and go back in the left, but I
could tell during the whole lesson he was thinking I
got on a bowling shirt and Bubby just and I
didn't mean to, because gosh, I was dressed like, you know,
we're totally inappropriate for sure. How about this had on
shorts and you know guess what I was wearing shorts,
a shirt and tennis, yes.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Right, university all the time.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, probably this shirt.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
I probably cycled it look like that shirt. Yeah, like
Graham says, the way, we got like.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Three of them that fit. I try to rotate them
best I can. Yeah, thank y'all, off with a Friday Monday.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
You know you have the armor on the different side.

Speaker 7 (05:02):
But Greg made the point the way we hack on
each other better clothing, you would think we were good dressers. Yeah,
I got the same thing over and over. I don't
have any clothes, you know. I hate to say it.
I did the same thing. Caused a huge controversy, and
I'm sorry. I know what Greg's done. It was you
a great teacher. I love it is when you got
a little laughter. If everybody would have gained I see

(05:23):
I date a gas you would.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
I threw out three comments before I ever even about it.
You know, like I said, my brain wouldn't even engage
till after the third one. My brain might have got
in to say the black knots because I used that.
But you know what, that was fine.

Speaker 7 (05:37):
When you go out into the real world, you've left
the battlefield, so a soldier man, you got to be careful.
He started flashing back to the war. Before you know it,
We're we're hacking on people.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Had that great snack ministry.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
Oh no, you can't be.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
I throw down a few sausage balls. Let me get
a little caffeine. I'm wiry on that front.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Row the party going singers.

Speaker 7 (05:57):
Yeah, you know, it's funny you said that, and we
got really, I don't.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Know why our default is bowling league and barbershops to
that shirt.

Speaker 7 (06:07):
It is the same shirt. Can either you either see
bowlers wear it or guy's cutting your hair.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Oh, I may even ask him to turn around so
I could see if it had the name of the
team on the back. I don't remember it.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
And I blacked out, and then you had, you know.

Speaker 7 (06:19):
I mean, if I'm doing a speaking engagement, I say
something that wasn't appropriate for the venue and people laugh
at me.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
I say, guys, if you laugh, courage, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Leave that.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
I may do another.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
See look frowly.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
I'm realizing I should have done that.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
And Rick, you know what it is. It's training, and
it's our job, and it's training. When you hear laughter,
you keep going, you turn it up. You know you're
on a roll, and it's hard to disconnect.

Speaker 7 (06:40):
I had a zinger so bad on one of our
teachers that it carried over to the next class. He
talked later in the day because they got wind of it.
And you ever had one that went on into another
room you're not even there, and people pass on what
they just heard about the guy and everybody else thought
that was waiting on trying to discrusch because we just
have a knack for seeing something and saying, hey, so
on so called wants that back or wins the bowling

(07:02):
league starting right, And we've got we've got a teacher
that wears some weird shoes and and and and in
my opinion, his shoes were over the weird line for me.
Right and look, I'm sitting there like you snacked snack ministry.
I'm popping back on some you know, pigs in a blanket.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
He walks in. I said, hey, boy, Rumple, still see
is gonna be disappinted?

Speaker 3 (07:19):
You got a shot.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Before I could stop him, I said, I screaming, had it?

Speaker 7 (07:25):
And you hear rumblest You hear going down the homey
oh gotcha spreading and you got it. He's just sitting there, demos,
He's just sitting there. Tomorrow, I was going, you realize
that's all I heard all days.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
And you know too, I mean this guy he's prepared
to lessen. He's got up early, he's prayed over, he's
all about it. And then he has to recover from
a black not Bowling comment to go into Ezekiel's wheel
of fire. How hard that is? How hard that is?

Speaker 4 (07:48):
How far was he into it? Before anybody was listening,
they were still thinking about you hecking on. Yeah, he
had to look around and who is this guy?

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Thought? I saw him one time during.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
The lesson Goo how about that?

Speaker 7 (07:57):
And hey, he'd already made it clear. They had a
lot of overg and you delayed it, and I apologize
the room, and whose fault is it?

Speaker 3 (08:06):
That's a great well, I parceled to minim.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Well, you're not the only one here.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Ricking Bubba, ricking Bubba.

Speaker 7 (08:17):
We've had to make a couple of arrangements for the
story that will start this hour. Our first arrangements, we've
asked Speedy and the real Greg burd just to leave
the room because we are going to discuss a mature topic.
The fact that it is a mature topic. We also
will remind those of you that maybe in the presence
of young ones or things that may be someone who's

(08:37):
a little sensitive to discussion of adult matters, you might
want to remove them from the radio. Anyone in the
golden ticket seats that needs to be removed this time,
we do have a conference room. You're welcome to go
sit in.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Not this bus there on the edge of their seat.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Yeah, ready to go. I see that.

Speaker 7 (08:54):
But anyway, so this is it's not going to be
anything dirty, but it is a mature topic. So we're
giving you five seconds to remove yourself or anyone who
needs to be removed from the radio. And we have
removed Speedy and the real Greg Burgess from the room
so we can discuss this as adults. All right, here
we go five seconds. All right, so you should be gone.

(09:20):
I should not receive a complaint email because you have
been warned.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yes see you. Next segment Rick the headline. It comes
out of Britain today. Give us this day our daily
dot dot dot Catholic Church issues prayer for faithful to
say before partaking of the marital fruit.

Speaker 7 (09:37):
So if intimacy is about to take place between husband
and wife, they have laid out a prayer that you
are to pray.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Roman Catholic couples are being encouraged to pray before they
get together.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Got It.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
A book published by a prominent church group invites those
setting out on married life to recite these specially composed
prayer before their special time.

Speaker 7 (10:04):
Together.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
It is aimed at purifying their intentions so that the
act is not about selfishness or hedonism. According to this article,
the prayer which appears in the Prayer Book for Spouses
implores God to place within us love that truly gives,
tenderness that truly unites self, offering that tells the truth

(10:27):
and does not deceive, forgiveness that truly receives loving physical
union that welcomes.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
I gotta tell you, I got no issue with this.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
How about that it adds open our hearts to you,
to each other, and to the goodness of your will.
Cover our property in the richness of your mercy and forgiveness,
clothe us in true dignity, and take to yourself our
shared aspirations for your glory forever and ever. Is one
of the excerpts.

Speaker 7 (10:56):
Well, you know, the great Adrian Rodgers said it beautifully.
He said, God's idea of intimacy is an idea of
giving the adversaries corruption of the same of physical act
is about taking. And I thought that was really well said,
and that really does explain the difference. And I think
this is what this prayer is, This trying to accomplish.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
The group who put the book out, said it is
important for the church to affirm the value of marriage
and family life, and I suppose this is a particularly
good way of doing that. The story says, perhaps it
is something that has not been tried, certainly for a while.
I can't remember seeing something like this mentioned before. The
book contains prayers for every stage of marriage and family life,

(11:40):
including engagement, planning for parenthood, pregnancy, and caring for children
and elderly parents. The prayers, written with a variety of authors,
are interspersed with Catholic teachings on the meaning of marriage
and family. The book pushes the message that marriage should
be exclude, should be lifelong, and it also condemns abortion.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
Well you know what I got, I got no issue
with this. I say here here to that.

Speaker 7 (12:09):
Well, you know when sometimes we tend to ignore the scriptures.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
I know, I got a star. That's why I locked
my office.

Speaker 7 (12:16):
Yeah, this is uh uh that Speedy has disguised himself
trying to be able to comment.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
But it's not going to work. But nights tried though.
But the you.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Know, I'm a I'm a little shocked that that that
that that is so surprising to so many people.

Speaker 7 (12:32):
That story look, I mean to me, it's it's biblically sound.
I mean we I love the instruction that husband and
wife should come together often absolutely and only refrain from
it during the time of fasting or prayer.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
I agree, which is the reason why we don't fast
a whole lot at our house.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
But it's but I you know, the the concept that
prayer should not be involved in all of that. Uh,
I think it's uh, you know, something we don't really
think about. But uh, you know we we've had a
challenge on that on that front before. And I will
have to say it's number one, so you'll have I'll prayed, yes, yes, yes, yeah,

(13:14):
I say, you know, the Bible actually tells us to
pray continuously, right, so you know that that would be continuously.
You're not gonna get that comment on speed. This is
not gonna.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
Happen when you say continuously throughout.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
The continue you can you know, look, you can look
at it several different ways. I think that to me,
continuously pretty much says what it says often is pretty
much what it says.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah. Yeah, I've noticed some people define often incorrectly.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yeah, I would not say often is a full moon
happens often. That would not be my idea of often.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
Yeah, and I'm telling you what I.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Would say this, I get hungry often. Yeah, I think
that would be appropriate.

Speaker 7 (13:52):
Well, I got to tell you at our house, we've
taken those biblical principles and apply to them in number one.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yes, yes, I agree. I agree. Marriage is a good thing.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
It really is, especially if it's done correctly.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yeah, I would say the architect of that had a
good plan.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
You know why too.

Speaker 7 (14:06):
My wife and I find it very difficult to be
at odds if you are coming together often. Yes, Yes,
it's funny how that wonderful gift will will take away
your desire to fuss and fight over stuff.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
It's stupid, yeah, especially the men. We just uh, you know,
I'm much more workable on budget issues, you know, if
I'm not absolutely absolutely i'd like to buy something. Sure. Yeah,
have a good day, you know.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
Yeah I had back.

Speaker 7 (14:34):
Yeah, I mean, I mean we've all walked through our
house and seen things that were a direct result of
coming together often. Yes, you know, Well, there's there's that
table that I wasn't sure about, but suddenly I was
on fire.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
For and you know what, I'm okay with it?

Speaker 4 (14:48):
Right, So it really is. Uh.

Speaker 7 (14:53):
It keeps saying marriage healthy, and unfortunately, when marriages get
in trouble, it's one of the first things to go,
I know, and and if if that wasn't the case,
then I mean it just it makes it very difficult
to because to argue, and it brings the husband and
wife together in a way that.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Nothing else can.

Speaker 7 (15:13):
We are to be as well, I'd like to challenge
our audience today if it's been a while, that's that's easy.
Marriage counseling today, simple and to the point. And I
think that this, this and praying is a good idea

(15:34):
as well. Hey, that's part of it. I would explore
that option to the fullest. So little little point from
ricking Bubba today, marriage counselor there you go. Fifteen minutes past,
we've this story pretty much sums up what has happened.
Let's hear the new story first.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Here we go. You're gonna love this.

Speaker 8 (15:56):
Just after Sunday services deputies say things and new welcome down.
His church got a little out of hand. Lourie Miles
with the Mobile County Sheriff's Office says an arguments started
when Pastor Dale Riley handed over a final paycheck and
dismissed the Minister of Music, Simon Moore. Moore wasn't happy
with the amount.

Speaker 9 (16:14):
At that point the Minister Music, mister Moore taste the
pastor and then other people got involved, and I think
it just escalated from that point.

Speaker 8 (16:25):
Two of those people were Deacon Harvey Hunt and Moore's mother,
a Golia. Miles says, amiss the chaos. Hunt stabbed Golia
Moore with a pocket knife.

Speaker 10 (16:34):
When emotions, too many emotions get involved and you don't
let the right process follow, I mean they should have
called law enforcement and then you could have handled it
from that point.

Speaker 8 (16:44):
Erton Gray was at her home at the corner of
D's and Bo Rhodes, right next door.

Speaker 6 (16:49):
I heard her a lot of Highland and we looked
at the one I seen both running back and forth
to the back of the church and like I say,
I want to expecting at the bed like it was hot,
one would have probably fell out of something.

Speaker 8 (17:02):
And the three years Gras lived here, she says, nothing
out of the ordinary has gone on. So she was
extremely shocked to find out what really happened right across
the street.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
If I would never speaking with him from a church,
any church, like that, going on like that.

Speaker 8 (17:16):
Two people were taken to the hospital and were released.
Lawrence for More and hunt on assault charges were signed,
but no arrests have been made. Reporting and Grand Bay
page Malone Box ten news.

Speaker 7 (17:28):
All right, but let me see, let me see if
I have this right? They went to fire the Minister
of music.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
At the end of the service.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
Yeah, which given his last paycheck and say you're done.

Speaker 7 (17:38):
The fact that he chased the pastor means he carries
around the ride.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Okay, don't me, bro, don't.

Speaker 7 (17:46):
So he chased the pasture I guess in anger, right,
and then one of the deacons stabs him for tasing
the pastor.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Sounds like it.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Now need a scorecard to keep up with this.

Speaker 5 (17:59):
Uh now, I'm just gonna tell you what where do
you find a taser?

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Simone More is the Minister of Music's name, the guy
who tased the pastor? And now get this too. This
story says that he ran for the on the Democratic
ticket for a Senate seat back in twenty ten.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
Really, I'm sure, I'm sure he.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Lost in the primary. I guess he's still got.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
Some somebody over that I lost.

Speaker 7 (18:28):
Why do I feel like if you look deep into
this church, you'd find all kinds of issues.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
Yeah, there may be other issues there than what meet
the surface.

Speaker 7 (18:35):
Well, we got I love the setup we got. We got,
we got them running for senate. We got him tasing
and stabbing each other by the way at the church
on Sunday.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
What I don't understand. What I don't understand is it
says that he was said he was dismissed and handed
his last paycheck. And I mean, did did that happen?

Speaker 7 (18:54):
At the end of the surface, It must have, but
I guess everybody the pastor probably said, hey, brother so
and so, after the after the service day, come see
me in my office. So he did, and he says, hey,
we've decided we're going to go in another direction. Here's
your last paycheck. Now they're saying in the story I'm
reading now that he wasn't pleased with the amount. Uh,
so he said, I'll taste so y'all he had a taser,

(19:17):
So he takes if I wanted to taste the pastor
this Sunday, I don't have it with me at church.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
I don't have a tasering.

Speaker 5 (19:24):
No, no, you ask, you want to give me your taser?
Go off for all we know. For all we know,
what's the pastor didn't think through. Part of the congregations
problem with their minister of music is we don't really
care that he cares about to.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
Take you, right, Rick, sing out a key. He tastes
everybody scared of the senior choir.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
You know, Rick, when you when you would ask somebody
coming to back to dismiss him, I mean that that's
what you normally would think. But the fact that several
people saw this and was involved, I wonder if it
didn't just happen in the same I mean, what what
kind of dismissal is that? You you finished praying? You
say amen? And by the way, brother, we're not gonna
need you anymore.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Here's you check. Having nice lot.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
But y'all think about it. It got so out of hand.
A deacon grabbed a pocket knife, all right and.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Stabbed the guy. I'm gonna tell you this, he need Yeah.

Speaker 7 (20:14):
The minister of music tases the preacher, who is then
stabbed by a deacon exactly.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Days technically it was the former minister of music. He'd
just been fired.

Speaker 7 (20:27):
Now wait a minute, Wait a minute, what Wait a minute.
Moore's mother was stabbed by the deacon what wait, what man,
why do you stab his mother? Well, the Minister Music's
wama must not have taken it well either. So so the.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
Deacon Stabbingla and Gola Moore. She was stabbed, it says.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
I'm just people stabbed.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
We need a white board to map this out. I mean,
you can't keep up with who's whose who and who
stabbed a chalk board?

Speaker 4 (20:51):
Whatever?

Speaker 7 (20:51):
How about this? I will I will say this. I
will y you are impossible.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
What now? I will say this.

Speaker 7 (20:59):
I do think Now the next thing the pastor has
to do after now getting tased by his Minister of
Music that he undoubtedly saw some issues and that he
was trying to let go next day, we need to
address when he talked to the deacons.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
Yeah, they're stabbing people. Yeah, I'll be honest with you.

Speaker 5 (21:12):
Think he got fired out though, Greg You're I mean either, I.

Speaker 7 (21:16):
Don't even bet, I bet din't even get to work
fire everybody have Angola? Couldn't you just kind of calm
and Gola without stabbing somebody's mother? These these are these
are adults, so she had to be These deacons mean business.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
Ain't Gola? I you know, I don't know, but I mean,
what if she she could be rather large woman.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
She didn't like her baby getting getting fired. His music
can cook.

Speaker 7 (21:37):
You know, I've heard of firing had On, I've heard
of firing staff members dividing the church, but I've never
heard leading to tasing and stabbing.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Right, I know what's now.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
I will tasing and a stabbing will divide the church.

Speaker 7 (21:47):
Right, guys, I'll sit down. Welcome to the Monday deacon meeting.
I think they're first out of the business is the stabbings. Uh,
you were a little quick to pull your blade. I'll
just go ahead, and Deacon Johnson, Uh, let's let's have
the pocket.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
Don't find my baby.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Maybe just you know what, he's got a good point
in Edith in case somebody's toting the taser.

Speaker 10 (22:05):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (22:05):
Well, Deacon Johnson, first of all, let me thank you
for protecting me. But I think stabbing the minister of
Music's why a mother was a bit unnecessary.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
If you stabbed miss Angola, the good news is they
say that three fingers will make it.

Speaker 7 (22:19):
I understand you cut her ear off trying to emulate Peter,
but that was not necessary.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
What any world right?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Great ricking Bubba Ricking Bubba.

Speaker 7 (22:32):
You know, we talk about things that went on over
the weekend too, and that since we're on Sunday, Uh,
we had we had football practice Sunday afternoon, very hot.
And the way things have worked out, I'm coaching uh
uh Brody, but I'm not coaching Brooks this year. So
Big Love is on his own now. Uh, he's playing
for somebody else. And and I don't get to see

(22:53):
his practices because we practiced the same day.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (22:57):
Thankfully I will get to see all his games. So
the way the way the skidu you worked out and
that was, that's a blessing. But I was going over
to pick him up after his practice because he practiced
on the field over from us. So we're practicing over
here and he's over there on another field, So I
thought I would ease over and pick him up from practice.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
And we're talking.

Speaker 7 (23:18):
The coach comes over to me and we're we're talking
a little bit, and and so he I noticed that
Big Love is coming over to me. Ask me what
the coach and I are talking about. And I'm like, uh,
we're just talking about go get the truck and and
I'm like, why should and he said, well, he said

(23:39):
Brooks said the prayer for us today wrapping up practice
and uh he said, you you might want to discuss
some of his topics.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (23:50):
And and and then then there's just a feeling that
comes over you, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
And hot, You're real hot while you having this conce
he said, Uh. And I'm real sweaty. And I have
them here if you'd like to hear them. Uh. He
chronicled for me in an email.

Speaker 7 (24:08):
I talked to Big Love about it and and and and.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
It starts off really good. Uh.

Speaker 7 (24:13):
The he said he started off very spiritually at the beginning,
which I was very glad to hear that. And then
he said, thanks for letting the weather hold off so
that we can make it through practice because there were
some storms coming in. Lord, all I'm asking is that
we make the semi finals of the playoffs. Okay, maybe

(24:34):
the championship too. Please help us to never cuss someone.

Speaker 5 (24:41):
In a game.

Speaker 7 (24:43):
Rick, You've been a lot of football games that's legitimate,
that's legitimate play, I mean, you know how it is
that and then the one that was that us or
the coach, and then the one that will have him
go back to the team today and apologize to the team.
Please help there to be less farting on the team.

Speaker 4 (25:07):
That's my boy. Good team prayer.

Speaker 7 (25:11):
Hey, I'll tell you what, there must be a lot
going on. If you felt you need to ask God
for a relief, that must be a gassy team.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
So you can see how it kind of curiates as well.

Speaker 5 (25:21):
Rick. It's on his mind that whole chili thing the
other day. You know, he was excusing himself the whole practice.
He said, give me your burden, Trick.

Speaker 7 (25:32):
So Rick, he's bothered by as the coach said, it
was honest and funny for a ten eleven year old,
and I thanked him for his heartfelt remarks he said,
which were which were more toward the beginning of the prayer.
But I also reminded him of the importance of being
reverent and respectful when praying, and.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Got a little giggle going. He said that you think, right,
you think a good thing. I wouldn't coach, because I'd
have been laughing hard on all of them. So yeah, well, uncle, Greg,
I know that.

Speaker 7 (25:58):
So I so I get into the car and I
shut the door, and I said that, uh, I.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Think, well, I think the first line that he was
asking for was directed to you.

Speaker 7 (26:06):
Greg, which one thanks for letting the weather. Oh no,
that was his third one. Please help us to never
cuss someone, right, that's it.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
Uh, And no cussing and no farting. Well, let's just
never what we supposed to do, never to cuss someone.

Speaker 7 (26:19):
Like he works at Dreamland, right, yeah, Byter of fact,
this is asked Greg not to exist again.

Speaker 11 (26:24):
Log Greg, and I'm coming practice anymore.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
Right, by the way, based on this prayer, if he listens,
Greg will.

Speaker 7 (26:30):
Be struck by if you're spitting in there, He's got
the trifect, right, he said.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
Uh, he said, from what I can gather, they we have.

Speaker 7 (26:40):
We have other teams that practice near us from different leagues,
and and most of them that confirmed to me while
I'm playing in the league I'm playing.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
In and not that league.

Speaker 7 (26:50):
But but the I said, they'd heard one of the coaches,
uh was lighting up a little kid with with cussing.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
Good gracious, right, that's that's that's that's good. But but anyway, so.

Speaker 7 (27:02):
You get in the car and what happened And I said,
So I shut the door, and I said, and big Loves,
I mean, Kaz is gone. He went to spend the
night with a buddy after practice and I said, I said, go,
you want to come on out? What's going on here?
And while are you so concerned about me talking to
the coach? Well, I said the prayer today for the team.
I said, well, that's great, man, I'm glad you stepped up.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
That's awesome. And then he was kind of and I said,
what what what? What's what's what? What did you do? Well?

Speaker 7 (27:30):
I said something that I shouldn't. I shouldn't have said it,
and uh, I said, would you want to share with
me what that is? And he said, I prayed that
there not be so much parting and uh. I said, hey, buddy,
I said, you're trying to be funny man on that
one that He said, well, we do have an issue

(27:52):
of it, but it probably shouldn't have included in the prayer.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
And I said yeah.

Speaker 7 (27:55):
I said, you know, there's a certain He said, yeah,
there's a certain there's a certa and amount of reverence.
If you want to do a comedy routine, that's not
the place for it. And uh so uh And then
I thought on a brilliant move on his part and
this was brilliant.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
He said, I don't think we need to tell mom
about it. No, And he said, it's.

Speaker 7 (28:13):
Our birthday this weekend, and I hope you agreed. Yeah,
And I said, well, we're not going to. And I said,
but what we're gonna do? I said, we're gonna we're
going back before the team tomorrow. We're gonna tell everybody
why that was inappropriate, and we're gonna apologize to the
coach and apologize to the team, and we're gonna talk
about that when we pray. That's that's a holy time

(28:33):
and a big responsibility for you to be the spiritual
leader at that moment for a team, and you're gonna
apologize everybody for for probably adding some stuff in the
prayer that that shouldn't have been there.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
And and so we'll that's today.

Speaker 7 (28:47):
But but you know, Rick, you he went for the
life at the end. He did good. Up, he went out,
he went for the home run thing. You've got a
little slight, but he's good right where he gets that,
you know what, I'm kind of digging that he went
ahead and asked to make the playoffs, and then he realized, look,
if I'm gona ask for the playoffs, let's ask for
the championship.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
Yeah, yeah, I like that though, Yeah, why stop short?
Rick reminds me a lot of something's dad would have
done got age. I'll be honest, that sounds very, very
familiar more his uncle.

Speaker 7 (29:15):
No at that age, rig Cat, Well, that would have
been your prayer all day while going for the last.
You know, you try so hard for them not to
be like you, You really do.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
You try to change things, you know.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
I think big love in his defense, he needs to
be to throw up. Hey Dad, that's something you would
have done.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Ricking Bubba.

Speaker 7 (29:36):
Are focusing on missions and global impact. My home church

lot of you like it because we bring in a
number of pastors and missionaries from around the world. They'll
drop by and say hello, I've already got to emails

(29:57):
introduce you to some some new folks. And today Martin
Young joins this pastor of Rising Brook Baptist Church, Stafford,
England and the UK. He's got his son Jake with
him today, who just finished film school, which is kind
of cool. I've got a son interested in that as well,

And we are your mother, your strict mother.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
We're the rowdy kids, got way, that's true.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
I know.

Speaker 12 (30:37):
Had I had a little boy come up to me
yesterday and say, talk to me about the revolution.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
Head.

Speaker 12 (30:42):
We've never been told anything about that, really, it has
been erased from my history.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
Really.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
It's just not something I want to talk about.

Speaker 12 (30:49):
Oh, we're so embarrassed.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Looking too, It's okay, right, yeah, well you know we're
great friends now.

Speaker 7 (30:57):
Yeah, we're allies, yeah together, which is fantastic. And and
so you know, and you guys have a roll in
all this, you know that what America's made up to
accomplish and then to come back and help us, and
we need you and several guys.

Speaker 12 (31:10):
If there's any way we can help you.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah, we're just that.

Speaker 7 (31:14):
Yeah, and we we've been you know, we don't understand
the whole monarchy thing.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
But that's fine, that's.

Speaker 12 (31:18):
That's that's yeah, that's our bizarre thing. You've got your
bizarre things. Were just listening to your bizarre things.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Yeah, we do rock stars that way. Yeah, you know,
we've got our own royalty like Madonna, stuff like that.
It's something we're not proud of.

Speaker 12 (31:32):
Sold you said the Queen is not a rock star,
then she's she is a rock star.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
We know, you know, we we kind of like watching
what they do. We just don't understand having a mascot.
You know, it's just strange. I mean, if she was
in charge, but we don't.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
We can't.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
It's a strange mix of old and new that you got.

Speaker 7 (31:49):
But the Prime Minister still she does have it. They
do have some power, right Yeah, yeah, I think so.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 12 (31:54):
It's very confusing, it is.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
I can lock the roads off for parades.

Speaker 12 (31:58):
Yeah, she's she's Yeah, it's very very odd, it's very
very odd, but yeah, she's she's a nice lady.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
I've been watching the Crown.

Speaker 12 (32:09):
To watch the Crown, then you get the feel of
the whole thing.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Is that is that pretty apparently it's quite accurate. Rick,
what was that.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
Series that Betty watched that she made me watch and
it was something to do.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
We don't.

Speaker 7 (32:22):
If you want to if you want to talk Victoria
and you want to talk Crown, we're good over here.

Speaker 12 (32:26):
Okay, this is the Middle Ages. You're not interested in
the Middle Ages.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Well no, I mean I'd lop a head off in
a minute, very dearly, Dearly, you know, it was.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
A different deal.

Speaker 7 (32:35):
But I was to your point. One of the fascinating
episodes in The Crown was when Billy Graham, That's right,
I met met Elizabeth and she was very intrigued by
him and the revival that he brought to the UK
was controversial in some areas because of the Church of England,
but she actually, if this is accurate, appeared to be fascinating.

Speaker 12 (32:53):
I wonder if now we're thinking that The Crown, the
BBC thing is that is now history. So we think
and yeah, that probably is what's happened, and that is now.
She is more the actresses, now, more the queen.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
The natural queen.

Speaker 7 (33:08):
All right, now you also have a tie to Apple
and Bubba.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
It's just well, I don't think that we're gonna talk.

Speaker 7 (33:14):
We're not gonna talk about we won't say the person's
name because you said he's private, and that's great, and
his childhood friend.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
You want to resist, you want to respect that.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
But but it was he's a big will.

Speaker 7 (33:22):
It was just interesting because here's the mistake. And you
may not even get this one because I'll have to
explain it. I had the and I was gonna let
it happen. Yesterday when I met you and I heard
about this, I actually met a person that's real big
wig in the tech industry.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
And and Bubba would have loved.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
He was the CEO of A T and T.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
I didn't know it was a big deal.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
I'm not a big guy, the head guy.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
So I had got.

Speaker 7 (33:44):
I spent time with him, and when I came back
and I said, it's some guy I don't know, Randall
something Stephenson, and Bubba's just what you were Randall Stevenson
and and I was like, what, what's.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
The what's the big deal? And I didn't know.

Speaker 7 (33:56):
So when I met you and you said, you know
Jeremy who's with our church here today, Jeremy Grime, he said, well,
you know he's he he knows one of the big
wigs at Apple. I said, not again. I will not
disappoint again. So so I wanted him to make that connection.
And you were Apple people, if.

Speaker 12 (34:12):
You tell a lot, Yeah, well, it's taken over the world, hasn't.
It used to be niche used to be trendy. Now
it's just amazing and everywhere.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
Yeah, and you said you got to go to works.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
That's what I like about it.

Speaker 7 (34:23):
But when it's like a childhood friend and a sudden
you go to some function celebration and you know your
bono's there, I mean it has to you know, that's
that's a big deal.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
You know.

Speaker 7 (34:32):
You know I might be able to pull up, you know,
maybe a garage band from my neighborhood. But if I
was having a deal and invite my childhood friends over,
I'm not gonna have YouTube playing.

Speaker 12 (34:40):
No, but what about the queen? If only the queen
had been there?

Speaker 4 (34:43):
But it came close though, love to I'd love to
hang out with the Queen.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Yeah, so you haven't You haven't met the Queen.

Speaker 12 (34:49):
I haven't met the Queen.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
I'll be honestly, we're worried about Can I Can I
tell him our concerns? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (34:55):
Sure, Prince Charles.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
We're worried about it. It's clear that she's hanging on
because she thinks he's a good right.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
We think God is trying to let her outlive him.

Speaker 12 (35:05):
Okay, yeah, yeah, well he's he's pretty old, isn't he,
which means she must be very old.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
We're we were concerned about, you know, I mean we
went through the Prince dies I mean Princess Die thing.
But Camilla were we were. We wasn't big on Camilla.
We know, we know, no, no, Well but if you're
the Prince of England, seems like you could. He's the
Prince of Wales. Well he's the Prince of Wales. Difference,

(35:31):
Well he's the next guy. He's the next guy.

Speaker 12 (35:34):
He is the next guy. But then he's got he's
got what any day of Spice.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Girl or something. Yeah, if you're if you're next in line,
you can have who you want. So you but he
went with Camilla, he went with Okay, you know, maybe
Spice was out there the whole time. Tell me what
you want, you really want?

Speaker 12 (35:56):
I think his his son, his son is daughter in law.
They on now the people to be watching, Yeah that's
what I was watching.

Speaker 3 (36:03):

Yeah yeah.

Speaker 12 (36:12):
We went through I don't know, twenty years ago, no

become a big deal.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Oh, we're into it over here too. People just go
crazy about it.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (36:21):
Yeah, so it's it's very popular. We're gonna, we're gonna
get the top of there. I want to come back.
I want to ask you about because one of the
things that we've been talking about on a serious note
is when you look at the state of the church
in the United Kingdom and to have a pastor who is,
by by standards, they are a pastor of a mega church.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (36:39):
And no, really, I mean I'm not, I'm not I'm
not making a joke. I mean, I mean, if right,
I mean, it's a pretty big year.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
You're from the land of Spargan.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
You realize how many heroes of.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
The faith I mean from England.

Speaker 7 (36:54):
I mean we're talking about the aliast okay, so you know,
and plus a lot of things happened there before they
happen here.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Yeah, So it's important for you to.

Speaker 7 (37:03):
Kind of give us an update on what's we get
to do. Yeah, yeah, so we'll talk about that week.
Come back.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
Martin Young is with us. If you leave us, have
a good day. If you got more Rick and Bubba,
we'll be right.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Back, ricking Bubba, Rick and Bubba.

Speaker 7 (37:16):
We have with us today Pastor Martin Young of Rising
Brook Baptist Church, Stafford, England in the UK. He's here
visiting as part of the Global Impact celebration going on
about Home Church and many churches across America, celebrating missions
and encouraging our missionaries and pastors that are in the
field and church plants. And Martin Young is visiting with us.

(37:36):
We spend a little time with him last hour. But
I want to reintroduce you in case you haven't been
with us during that time. And Martin, you were telling
me the break there was an interesing story you wanted
to share, and then we'll get into what's going on
with your current church.

Speaker 10 (37:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (37:47):
Well you were saying about England and the church in England.
I got story from the seventh century. That's quite a
long time. I guess it was six hundred and eighty.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
Can I see the old stuff? We have here is
like two in or some years old.

Speaker 12 (37:58):
Okay, fair enough, fair enough. So England was a number
of different kingdoms. It was about about five kingdoms. The
biggest one was called Mercier. It's in the middle of
England from London up to Liverpool. And the king of
Mercier ruled from near where I live now. And he
was married to someone who had become a Christian, because
Christianity was beginning to seep into this pagan kind of area,

(38:19):
and there were some great saints around who had done
some good stuff around the place. He had a daughter.
He had two sons, and his daughter was a Christian. Anyways,
two sons were off hunting one day and they get
into a forest looking for some stag or whatever to hunt,
and they come across Saint Chad, who is this very
very cool guy who then became a bishop a few

(38:41):
years later. They meet him, they decide they want to
become Christians. They get baptized. They come back. The dad,
the king, is so angry he chases them and he
slaughters them both, kills them both in a town that's
just north of where I live, and the mother buries
them under a pile of stones and that town is
now called Stone. That's what it's called done because he
killed his two sons and they get buried there. His

(39:03):
daughter's still Christian anyway. After that, obviously he realizes what
he's done. It's just awful, and he goes to Saint
Chad and says, this is terrible what I've done. I
just want to change my ways, and he actually comes
to faith in Jesus. Everything gets changed, and he then
invests using power, using finance and getting behind Saint Chad
and kind of basically what happens in the next in

(39:25):
that generation is the whole of the Kingdom of Mercia
then gradually becomes Christian.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
All of it starts with that story.

Speaker 12 (39:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (39:34):
So when we think about the current state of Christianity
in the church in the UK, you pastor, you know
Rising Brook, So tell me the size of your church.

Speaker 12 (39:46):
It was about five hundred adults like that?

Speaker 4 (39:48):
So how many? What?

Speaker 7 (39:49):
What what would be the age median age of the
of the people that actually attend regularly every age?

Speaker 4 (39:54):
Is it from?

Speaker 6 (39:55):
Ye?

Speaker 4 (39:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, very much. So you have you have
it all ye.

Speaker 7 (39:59):
So what is the state of the church in the
UK right now?

Speaker 12 (40:03):
There's loads of churches that have had older people in
getting smaller and smaller and smaller, relatively traditional and they're
just going out of business those churches. Then there's loads
of churches either brand new or churches that are somehow

(40:23):
managing to express their faith in some really quite authentic ways,
and they are growing like mad. So it's a bit
of an interesting time in the UK at the moment.
On the one hand, there's things closing getting smaller. On
the other hand, there's yeah, the church is doing a
great job, and I think with the government with its

(40:43):
back against a wall financially welfare state changing, they're pulling
their funding and lots of things. Actually, it seems to
be that the church in the UK is is picking
up that and caring for people in a way that
maybe the government used to care for people and noticing
and really appreciate it. So actually there's a bit of

(41:04):
a there's there's there's an increasingly good reputation that the.

Speaker 4 (41:08):
Church has got you.

Speaker 7 (41:09):
So really there's two extremes there right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
But the good news is we do have a little
spark of authentic Christianity even with younger people.

Speaker 12 (41:17):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, clearly clearly.

Speaker 7 (41:20):
So what what would when you come to the United States,
do you see anythings that you could say, Hey, guys,
as your brother in Christ, let me throw a little
caution flag here of some mistakes that we made that
you don't need to make.

Speaker 12 (41:32):
Yeah. I think so, you know, if we think of
the word christendom, which is kind of a way of
if only the church got bigger and bigger, it could rule,
it could be in charge, and its values could then
be the government's values.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
All that kind of thing.

Speaker 12 (41:44):
That that we've tried. That doesn't work because it all
just gets really really messy when you and so we'd say, perhaps, actually,
rather than trying to make things happen according to how
you want them to and or make people believe or
live according to the way you live, but perhaps they

(42:05):
haven't got the same values, simply just love and serve.
Do the Jesus thing, which was actually he decided, Okay,
I'm not going to throw around all my power. I'll
give it all up and I'll be someone who cares
for individuals. The way he did that, it was just
incredible to follow that. I would say that rather than

(42:27):
going for the sort of the big, the big, mighty
let's try and build the church and change everything from
the top. I would suggest get everyone being genuinely kind,
putting love into action, and then see what happens.

Speaker 7 (42:43):
When you get to you find you try to walk
that line. But at some point, which I think is
where you know we're human beings, were flawed, we make mistakes.
I think where we have to be careful even with
that strategy is when we have Jesus the servant, which
is and he said, even those in charge you what
true leadership my kingdom, You'll serve those that you've been
placed in authority over, which was completely outstep with the

(43:05):
pagans of the day. And he made that clear. Our
leadership doesn't look like theirs where they rule over to
your point, But I think what happens sometimes, especially with
some of the younger people, is we got to be careful.
I've said this once before when the Reformation took place,
which was wonderful, but I think what was we have
to be careful of now. I'm only speaking to America now,
so I'm not saying that's going on there. In our

(43:26):
desire to remove all the legalism out of the church.
With the Reformation, which was wonderful. I'm afraid we've also
let obedience be thrown out with it. And the Bible
speaks to obedience clearly as the proof of salvation. And
even Jesus said, when he landed and start his ministry,
he said, behold, the Kingdom of God is at hand.
He said, what repent acts? Chapter two, what are we

(43:49):
supposed to do? Repent John the Baptist repent revelation to
the church. It lad to see you're delusional about who
you are. Repent. Got to be careful that we don't
kick repentance out, because without repentance, all this is meaning.

Speaker 12 (44:04):
Yeah, I guess, I guess. The It's interesting because I
love that verse in Mark where Jesus comes. He says,
the kingdom of Heaven is at hand. It's really close to touch,
really really close. Repent and believe the good news is
what he says. And it's interesting looking at that word repent.
Obviously there's there's probably going to be some sorrow attached
to that. But it's about changing your mindset.

Speaker 4 (44:24):
That's right.

Speaker 12 (44:25):
It's complete mind change, isn't it. And actually I think
that is the key is can we get a whole
mind change, which is a Kingdom of Heaven style, and.

Speaker 7 (44:35):
So part of obedience would be doing the things you're
talking about. And I think we we've we've let obedience
be labeled as legalism and it's not.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
And we got to be careful though that we don't
label legalism obedience as well.

Speaker 7 (44:47):
There's a there's a balance here that Jesus was talking about,
meaning the way you behave will come as the fruit
of your repentance, you know so, And I think sometimes
we get confused, you know that we we got to
be careful we won't drift into the social gospel where
you know, because Jesus did tell the after the feeding
of the five thousand, I'm over here by myself because

(45:08):
I don't want you to miss I'm the bread alife.

Speaker 4 (45:10):
Yeah, I'm just showing you who I am. You're going
to be hungry again, you know.

Speaker 7 (45:13):
But if you if you take me, then then the
real problem is resolved.

Speaker 4 (45:18):
The living.

Speaker 12 (45:19):
I think I think you're right. I think what it
is the social gossip. If we're if we think good news,
what's good news for someone? Good news for someone is
it might if someone is hungry, it's going to be
some food. So if someone who's confused. It's going to
be some teaching. If someone's lonely, it's going to be
some welcome. So that story five thousand, that's what Jesus did.
If someone's ill, it's going to be healing. So he

(45:40):
did all those and that that's mentioned in all four gospels,
and that's what he does in each other's four gospels.
So I'd say, good news is whatever. As a human being,
I am broken. My heart is void, man, I need
some good news. That's the gospel, isn't it. And when
you when you're fed, you go, oh, that was good.

Speaker 4 (45:59):
That was good.

Speaker 12 (46:00):
And then there's something in your soul because soul body
or linked together, your soul is a bit more open
to where did that goodness come from? Right, and then
you're more open to perhaps the where the Holy Spirit
is working, and maybe your mind is a bit more achieved.

Speaker 7 (46:15):
Then you can't tell someone about redemption if all the
word abouts how they're going to eat. So you definitely
want to take care of the physical needs, but then
you address the spiritual need, which means how about what
would you like, Like Jesus said, how would you like
to never be thirsty? How would you like to never
be hungry again, that's what I am. And you know,
when we get to that, and I think that if
we could get that balance right, I think that then

(46:36):
now you're really solving real problems. Because it's funny. I
remember I was talking since its global impact. A missionary
who was in the one of these unreached people groups.
He didn't know the language at all, and so he
talks to a person who did not know who Jesus was.
He didn't know nothing about the Word of God, and
he tells him the gospel, which is God came to

(46:57):
you when you couldn't come to him. He has redeemed
the sin that you can't figure out what to do about,
talked about what sin was, and when he finished it,
they had a conversation and the missionary said, what did
he say?

Speaker 4 (47:08):
He said, that's good news.

Speaker 7 (47:10):
You know, you know, you know, the first time you
hear that, you you there's a merciful, gracious God that
solved your your complete problem.

Speaker 4 (47:19):
That's good news.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
It is.

Speaker 12 (47:20):
It is good news, and the Kingdom of having simpled
it defines it as justice, piece and joy in the
Holy Spirit. And actually, I think I think every human
being on the planet is looking for justice peace and joy.
I think that's what everyone is looking for. We're looking
for it, and we we own money to try and
to try and get hold of this stuff.

Speaker 4 (47:36):
But I'd say that is the good news.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
I like the verses about a big feast and of
course you do able.

Speaker 4 (47:42):
Kid a bit of barbecue. What a pleasure it made
your brother. Thank you Martin Young.
