Welcome to the Three Stories version of the Todd Hermer Show.
Story number one, Snap culture predicted by mice and story
number two when the deep Stick gets this nervous, we
need to thank God. And story number three if Satan
gave a sermon. I'm going to dedicate this to a
guy you've never heard of named Josh m We'll talk
(00:21):
about this all with the help of God Almighty.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
But Todd Herman show is one disapproved by big pharma
technocrats in tyrone s everywhere from the high mountains of
Free America. Here's the Emerald City exime Todd Herman.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Today is the day the Lord has made in These
are the times through which God has decided we shall live.
There's a temptation, I think, to look at the culture
around Snap, and there is a culture built around snap run,
the snap culture and the EBT culture, and to look
at it and say it's unique to humankind. It's not.
(01:20):
And I'm not here to say that we can go
out and look at animal species and say that's you know,
we can predict outcomes on this. But it's sort of
a cliche to say, hey, don't feed the animals because
they come dependent on you and there's people who refer
to that as EBT, but this is much more than that,
or it's like ebt snap that over dependence on this,
people become like zoo animals and they need to be
fed and they're unable to subsist without that or to thrive.
(01:47):
And there's certainly something to that, but it's just the
very beginning of snap culture. My producer and friend Alex
Overall hipped me to a study that I didn't know about.
It happened in nineteen sixty eight and it involved mice.
And I know, I'm not here to say that mice
are people, et cetera. But we come from the same God,
(02:10):
and there's some characteristics that biological beings have in common.
I don't believe mice have souls, and forgive me, vegans,
I just don't think that my sol's souls. I think
dogs do. I think it's evident that dogs have souls,
but then again that's just me thinking. Sorry, I know, dogs, cats, mice,
et cetera. But these mice were put through a test
in a utopia, and this guy, John Calhoun decided to
(02:33):
build a mice a mouse heaven on earth. And this
is what people who are fans of big government are
trying to do. They're trying to stack up enough laws
and enough benefits and enough regulation that eventually we get
heaven and earth, or we get heaven on earth. That
cannot happen from a Christian perspective, because we know that
(02:53):
the earth is going to be fallen.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
It is fallen.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
We know that we're fallen species. We know that we're
broken by sin. We know that we're broken by the
sin of coveting, and EBT encourages that we're broken by
the sin of lording or power over others. Ebt enables
that we're broken by the sin of lying. And big
complex systems like Snap Benefits, et cetera. They don't just
(03:17):
create a circumstance that makes lying possible. They invite lie
because that level of money and that level of number
of people involved in this, and the number of hands
that touch Snap benefits, it's going to create tons of
errors and tons of incompetence. And then people lie to
cover that up. Other people see that you can lie
(03:37):
and cover that up, and they say, hey, if you
can lie to cover up incompetence, you could lie to
cover up absolute thievery. And then mixed into all of
this are people who have been told that their very
existence depends upon snap Ebt. But it goes beyond that.
What Calhoun did in the study was he built a city,
a mouse city. But in this city they did not
(04:00):
have to ever worry about food because it was always there,
or water because it was always there. There were no
predators there. There was no day what you're gonna have
just direct sunlight, you can't find shade. There was no
day where you're just going to be washed out with
rain and you have to find a way to get
above the water or get out of the wash. That
there was no freezing, and yet something happened to these
(04:22):
mice that people didn't predict. Calhoun put his experiment down
and the results is down to talking about overpopulation. I
think that is a radical oversimplification. I think that God
has designed us in a way that's sort of similar
to mice. We have language, we have souls, we have
a connection to gods. Those of us are Christians, are
(04:42):
grafted onto the vine of Christ. We then have an
ability to have within us the Holy Spirit, which is
in fact having the Kingdom of having with us. So
I'm not here to say we're mice. But I'm here
to say we can learn something from this study. And
I started by talking about how big systems like this,
complex systems don't just in vite corruption, they almost encourage corruption.
(05:05):
So this is doctor Memmet Oz, and I'm way torn
on Oz. I mean, I'm glad that he's a budget hawk,
but he's also ridiculously responsible for a lot of the
lies of transgenderism spreading because he refused to confront those lives.
He actually legitimized his lives. And Oz has never apologized
for that, not a single time that he should apologize.
But at least he's looking out for our money. He's
(05:27):
talking about Medicare and Medicaid benefits meme at Oz. With
the Trump administration, a.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Major reason given by the Democratic Party for the government
shutdown is the passionate desire to get rid of the
one big, beautiful bill that was just signed into law.
But that law allows us to ensure that illegal immigrants
are not having their health care paid for by the
federal government. Turns out, despite allegations that that's not true,
it is one hundred percent a truthful statement to say
(05:52):
that we're spending money from Washington to care for legal
immigrants around the country. How do I know that We
started investigating the first few states that we thought would
be most likely to have done this, and it turns out,
just in the last few months, it's already a billion
dollars plus of money that's been spent in states that
I'll think that they should provide healthcare to legal immigrants.
What that means is that if you're a taxpayer in
(06:14):
Texas or Florida, your tax dollars could have been used
to fund the care of illegal immigrants in California. That's
not the law anymore. So we have stopped it. We
are cawing back that money. We've already gotten hundreds of
millions of dollars back, which again it proves that these
states realized that they were guilty because they wouldn't give
us the money back otherwise. So that bill, the one
big beautiful bill, is absolutely essential to keep the financial
(06:35):
integrity of the system in place to make sure our
voterabile are protected. It cannot be repealed, and that's why
the shutdown needs to end.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
So when it's talking about that level of spending, in
that level of money going to states that refuse to
verify voter id refuse to send voter information to the
federal government. What on earth would make us think that
they're actually not hiding frauds and actually handing all this
money out to legal immigrants. Why would we not think
(07:04):
that there is fraud included in this. So that's one
level of this that the human desire to steal, the
broken sin nature of people wanting to steal and enrich themselves.
That happens at the high classes of governments. We know
what happened during the lockdowns. We know there was massive,
massive amounts of money stolen, and usually and very often
with the health of bureaucrats. My concern is that people
(07:28):
living in what the Democrats want to be the utopia
of cities, because everything they're trying to do is about
hurting people into cities. If you live out west like
I do. I live in the high Mountains of Free
America in North Idaho, which is a pretty conservative place.
I've watched in the Western States as they're doing everything
they can to make it very, very expensive so liberally.
(07:50):
For instance, they tax the heck out of septic systems
and they try to regulate the heck out of them.
Septic systems are better for the world than sewage systems,
because once the septic stuff, the sewage gets about thirteen
feet down, it's as pure. It's not even that. I
think it's like ten feet down. It's his pure as
drink it water. It's nature's filter. And yet they go
(08:13):
try to shut these systems down and try to force
us on the cities to be in sewage systems. That's
just one example. The per mile tax, which is a
lie gas tax, is a permile tax, is another way
to do this that it's all about shoving people into cities.
In a second, I want to show you what happens
when John Calhoun built an empire, a city for mice
(08:33):
where they never needed to hurt for food, water. It
was always there, there were no predators. I'll show you
this in a second. There's a ton of money tied
up in all this. You know that, the money for
Medicare and medicaid. There's so many people building up to
that trough, and when that happens, it's a very difficult
thing to change, very difficult. My friend Zach Abraham Bulwark
(08:54):
Capital Management, the chief investment officer, are there. He's obviously
very aware of this, and they're putting on a great, big,
huge free live webinar coming up, and they're going to
look into what happens in government in this situation to
retirement monies and how exposed to risk are you. Now see,
this is a webinar for this time. If you're five
(09:17):
or ten fifteen years from retirement, you need to be
able to take advantage of Zach's knowledge as he so
you got to talk about their performance throughout this year.
You're going to talk about how the performance looks for
the rest of the year, and he's gonna share with
you his vision for economy going into the very next
year twenty twenty six. So if you're five, ten fifteen
years from retirement, this is a must attend. Go now

(10:02):
that's two nine to eight. When John Calhoun carried out
this study on mice, he put them into a utopian
a city built just for them, where they'd never need
to hurt for food or water, and it was called
Universe twenty five. It was introduced by the Natural Library
of Medicine.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
The work of doctor John Calhoun at the National Institute
of Health in Washington, d C. Has attempted to answer
this question. In a unique experiment that took years to complete,
Doctor Calhoun used white mice to study population growth and
its effects on individual behavior. In addition to his renowned
(10:41):
research papers, he has recorded some of these observations on film.
In this sixteen cell mouse habitat, utopian conditions of nutrition, comfort,
and housing were provided for a potential population of over
three thousand mice. Yet in spite of ideal conditions, the
(11:03):
mouse population met with catastrophe. Individuals were kept track of
by color markings on their fur. Factors which normally control
population growth, such as predation by owls or cats, were eliminated.
Transmissible disease was also reduced. In effect, the Mouse Universe
(11:26):
simulated the present situation of a continually expanding population of
humans to see how doctor Calhoun's mouse universe grew or
use the familiar population graph again.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So the population graph just simply shows that there was
this initial growth and population, and this was predicted. But
Calhoun's experiment showed some other things. It showed what happens
when mice don't need to strategize to have tactics to
survive as a group. It showed what happens when there
are certain mice who take no interest in being a
(12:01):
mouse other than grooming themselves. That he came the beautiful ones.
It's really really interesting what happens. And in introducing doctor
Calhoun and what he did, you see a guy who
set out to create an experiment. I don't think he
understood what God put into us. I think he looked
at this simply as biological being.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
There's a lot of talk about a population explosion. Well,
there's no population explosion, at least not quite yet. It
never has been, or might say he's always been a
population explosion. If we go back to about forty thousand
years ago, there were perhaps four and a half million
people on Earth, and it had been not many fewer
(12:42):
than this for a previous two million years of man's evolution.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Now what are we acts nine billion people? And what
does the world economic form do? And what do they
want to see that they want us all shoved into cities?
What do they want us on EBT? What do they
want us on food? They provide plastic meats. What do
they not want us doing right? They don't want us
being strong, They don't want men with high testosterone. They
don't want competition. They want to decide what people have
(13:10):
in advance. They seek this world where they get to
decide what sustenance means, and everybody just gets some sustenance.
So Calhoun then talked about this population explosion that did occur.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
A pathological situation like this gives us understanding of what
may be going on in the human situation, what might
go on and be catastrophic, and what is really catastrophic
and where the real fear is is on a level
where the mice and man are extremely similar. Does get
(13:43):
programmed less bigenetics, less bioretica than for the mice, much
more cultural, But it's just as subject of being disorganized,
having a program disorganized through inappropriate sequences of crime attacks,
too many contacts, and part of the danger is that
(14:04):
we don't have an adequate establishment.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Not a.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
So part of the establishment is risk. Part of the
establishment that law God laid out for us as human
beings is risk, risk of failure, risk of conflict and
the ability to escape that, and the requirement that we
interact right. It is not good that man is alone.
That's not just related to man having the partner, wife,
special helper. They come under and lift up. We were
(14:31):
designed to be in society, particularly in the body of Christ.
So there was a societal decline that occurred. If all
these mice, they're in this utopia situation, they don't need
to hurt for water or food, it's always there, there's
no predators, they're not going to die of sunlight or freezing,
and yet there's this societal decline.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
The result was chilling. Two and a half years ago,
more than two thousand mice were packed into Mouth City. Today,
a tiny handful of survivors huddles in one corner of
the city. Doctor Calhouna explains what the overcrowding did to
Mouse City's inhabitants.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
The last thousand animals born never learned to develop the
social behaviors.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
They think about masking, think about the lockdown social behaviors.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Ever, learned to be aggressive, which is necessary in defense
of home side. They never learned to court.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Think about in cells, people who never learned to court
have real conversations with the opposite sex.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
No mating being no mating, there were no progeny, and
the older animals, whose behaviors already becoming disrupted, they eventually
reached to an age too old and reproduced.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
One of the remarkable things in the social decline is
what happened to young male mice. They became predator like
you might say, thug like, going out and beating up
on others. Some of the older male mice sort of
retreated from society. They went and hidden card in the corner.
What I found most chilling, and so did my producer Alex,
who turned me on to this, was the arrival of
the beautiful ones. That's what Calhoun called. These were mice
(16:09):
who did nothing but groom themselves. They weren't interested in
mouse behaviors, they weren't interested in breeding, they weren't interested
in nest building. They just sat around looking beautiful. And
there were male mice who sought their company not to
have prodigy, but simply to have sex. In fact, in
this population there became sexual confusion, male mice seeking sex
(16:35):
with other male mice. They talked about this situation as
almost a psychopathy. It's a psychopathic situation. And look at
what the World Economic Forum wants to do. They want
Morbus on EBT, They want more of us on snap.
They want Morbus to know that don't worry, the government
cheese is coming. You just sit and do what you're told.
(16:57):
You go ahead and eat the plastic meat you're told
to eat, and everything's going to be just fine. But
don't you dare step away from mouse City story number
two when the deep state gets this nervous. We really
need to thank God, because the deep state is getting very,
very nervous, and it goes across from the top to
(17:18):
the bottom. You're familiar with my evil sandwich phenomena. This
is where there are smart, evil scheming people at the
very tip top, and at the bottom there are these
supplicants who simply do what they're told. They're the classic
bureaucrats who know that they don't have a chance of
going out and having a significant job in the real world.
So they know that when they stay in their bureaucracy
and keep their heads down, they don't need to compete.
(17:41):
They don't need to prove themselves. The hierarchy there is
how long you've been. It's not what you carry out.
It's not a meritocracy. It's a longtocracy. It's a bortocracy.
How much boredom are you going to put up with?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Now?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
There are good people in the federal government. I always
want to say that, because they've got friends and family
work in the FEDS and they try to do their jobs.
They'll be the first to tell you. There's a lot
of people just keeping their heads down. So in the top, smart,
evil scheming people. On the bottom you have these supplicants
are just doing what they're told. In the middle is
most of America, people who want to feed their families,
who want their kids maybe to go to college or
(18:14):
trade school. They want their kids to do better than
they did. That's this human design. So in the evil sandwich,
we've seen across the board a panic. Something happened in Portland,
Oregon over the weekend. I want to show you and
then I want to compare that to something that happened
to Jimmy Clapper, because to me, it's the same exact
thing just carried out in a different way. Both of
(18:35):
its stinks of the warfare under as we're going through
this color revolution that I don't think any of us want.
When you're going through a color revolution like this, it
is good for me to remember that there are people
who know how to fight real wars. They've done this
on our behalf. One of those people as my friend
Tim Krukshank, he's the founder and CEO of Bone Frog Coffee.
I always had a conversation with him about spiritual warfare
(18:58):
on the battlefield, and he shared with me that's one
of the reasons why the coffee bags say God Country Team.
Tim is absolutely convinced that he wouldn't have made it
through his free deeployments on Our Behalf as a medic
attached to the seal teams without God. He's well aware
of the fact that God called some of his comrades home,
some of his friends, people he served with home. And
(19:19):
that's the reason it's bone Frog is it? Because the
coffee is about honoring fallen Navy seals right up to
the insignia that is the insignia of a fallen seal,
and then ten percent of proceeds, which goes to the
families of fallen Navy seals. Tim also was refused. He
refused to do the simple thing, just to go out
and get a bunch of private labeled coffee and just
(19:40):
slap his name on it. Instead, he recruited a real
life coffee legend named Dave Sewart. Now Dave did not
go out and become a Navy seal. He invented Seattle's
Best coffee. So that's why the coffee is so stellar.
At bone Frog. It's either made by Dave or Dave
has mentored the team that Tim hires, which is usually
made up of veterans. Go to bone Frog Coffe slash

slash Todd. Nick Soortor, who was assaulted and then arrested
for being assaulted in Portland and then got to meet
Kay Dillon with the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ
to agree to come in to look into his arrest,
(20:23):
is still in Portland. God blessed Nick and God protect him,
and he noticed something about the ice facility there the
entire neighborhood of Portland had power, except the ICE facility
was somehow the one building that didn't have power. And
this continued for a period of time seven thirty pm.
(20:43):
I alter started at three fifty two pm. Cause was unknown.
Now ICE has backup generators, so whatever this was, whatever attempt,
this was landed in failure that it was a long
lasting attempt. Now, why do you think this attempt was made?
Could it be that Antifa who's been outside the ICE
facilities since President Trump began the deportation campaign. Do you
(21:06):
think it's because they wanted to knock out their security cameras.
Do you think it's because they wanted to launch an
actual armed assault on the ICE facility? Whatever it was
and whoever did it? Could it be that there was
someone at the Portland utility who did this. Do you
think that wouldn't be the case. Antifa was all the
way up into the Speaker of the House office in Oregon,
(21:27):
the Legislative director of the Democrats Speaker of the House
was Antifa. They're in the police force. There was a
cop who arrested and Antifa protester and apparently reluctantly because
that cop then raised his f Trump flag above his
head and waived it. So, yes, I do think it's
very possible that someone on the utility team decided to
(21:48):
turn that power off for just a little while. I
also think it's entirely possible that antifa's trained themselves how
to do this or been trained, because remember they've trained
with hamas. The Black Lives Matter Incorporated people went to
Gaza and trained with Hamas. They know how to do
things like this. Now that's one level. That's evil scheming
(22:08):
people who are running around these human targets and and
human chess pieces in Portland. And then there's the smart,
evil scheming people like Jimmy Clapper who are being confronted.
So guy went to Jimmy Clapper. His name is Jerry Delaney,
and he went and he raised, he raised his concerns
(22:29):
about what's going on with Jimmy Clapper. Jimmy Clapper did
not like being confronted. In fact, Jimmy Clapper sort of
panicked when Jimmy Clapper was confronted.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
There was there was there was an email that went
around from General Clapper, from General Clapper to yourself and Hayden,
I'm sorry, not not Hayden right, you're yourself and comy,
et cetera. That basically said we all got to get
on board with this, otherwise it isn't going to work, basically,
(23:00):
And I think that email puts everybody in the crosshairs.
I would like to hear what your justification was for
supporting the dossier that was known to be false being
used as source material. In the second ica.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I don't know who put you up to this.
Speaker 7 (23:20):
Nobody put me up to this, or i'd here on
what role you played or who I want a bunch
of that you just passed on.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Absolutely, the emails are clear. So the emails are clear.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
The emails are clear.
Speaker 8 (23:32):
The second question, by.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
The way, Jimmy Clapper is shifting in his seat, and
if you look at his body language, this is a
nervous man. This is not an angry man. This is
a man moving away from his accuser. This is a
man trying to get as far away from this as possible.
It's neuro linguistic programming for I'm trying to protect myself.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
You can look, you can talk about it the other way,
talk about it.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
In the reception question, No, it didn't. It was likely
Russian to super.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
No, we did not.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
We said you didn't know.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
That, and I just invited, Yeah, you're done. All right,
we're gonna go over here.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
This is disinformation. Oh we didn't say it was Russian misinformation.
We said it had all the hallmarks of a Russian
influence campaign. It had all the hallmarks. But you knew
it came from Hillary Clinton. You knew it was laundered
through a disgraced law firm. You knew it was false.
(24:43):
And yet in this email, Clapper repriede to everybody that
they need to get on board. That's our story. We're
sticking to it. A false story. So get as nervous
as you want being accused by humans who can act.
Show the emails. It's right here. There's the email. You
(25:03):
can research it on your own, you can read the
whole thing. But Jim Clapper, you're nervous.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I want you to think about how nervous you're going
to be on judgment day when you're reminded to who
much is given, much is expected. You were the director
of national intelligence for the most powerful nation on earth,
and this is what you did. You're going to be
asked to answer for this and shifting in your seat
(25:32):
and saying it's bs. That's not going to work with God.
I really do hope you repent, and I do really
hope we'll see earthly justice on this. May God make
that so story number three if Satan gave a sermon.
I'm going to dedicate this to a guy named Josh
m and his beautiful song. There's something in Christianity called
(25:56):
read letter Christianity, and it's very, very appealing because it
sets out to make it all very simple that if
you simply read only the words Jesus spoke, then you're good.
If you do that, you can kind of demystify everything.
And this has been a case for a long time
that there are people who simply look at the red words.
(26:17):
There's songs about the red words, and there's people who
will go through their Bible that if they don't have
a red word Bible, they'll go through and they'll underline
just the words Jesus spoke, and Okay, they're great. They're
the words of Jesus Christ, the savior of all mankind.
We should focus on those words. Those words matter, and
we should also remember something. There's a Bible. There were
(26:39):
people around Jesus. Jesus simply could have sat down and
wrote down all the things he wanted us to know
and passed on on and said, hey, just hand this around.
He didn't do that. So Jesus took care to surround
himself with human beings. And when there's times that there's
great confusion, and that confusion is being purposely driven into
(27:01):
people's minds, for instance, all these false gospel churches, all
sorts of people trying to claim Christ for this or that,
and a political world that is trying to make things
as confusing as possible. For instance, taking something as simple
as this, we have immigration laws. We enforce them, or
we do not. If you do not enforce laws, you're lawless.
(27:26):
If you let people enforce law sometimes and not others,
you set up a circumstance where you actually have kings.
What's the hallmark of a hallmark of a king indulgences
a king can decide, you know what, let that guy go.
I don't feel like enforcing that law today. That's a
hallmark of a king. These are some very simple things,
and yet the world of politics wants to make these
(27:46):
things so complicated. Well, there's a president, have an authority
to deal with immigration. Oh, only sometimes if it's a democrat.
So when the world's been made confusing on purpose, such
as racism is not always racism. You know, when racism
is directed against white people, that's not racism, that's anti racism.
(28:07):
Or for instance, when you go out on the streets
and you attempt to lock down entire neighborhoods at force,
and you're wearing a long gun around you, you have
an ar sung around your neck, and you don't let
people drive into the neighborhoods, or you shut down their
parks so they're forced to listen to your political speech.
That's anti fascism. It's not fascism. When you're acting upon
(28:28):
behalf of great Big Pharma and you are telling people
to stay the blank home, or we Antifa are going
to knock your teeth in, that's not fascism. That's anti fascism.
There's all this confusion in the world, and that confusion
is being purposely installed. When you have people who are
attempting to do everything they can to confuse the gospel, right,
(28:49):
that's where red letter becomes really appealing to people. So
I started to think about this, what's one way to
approach the Red letter Christianity. They could really drive this. Well,
what if Satan gave a sermon. I think Satan could
give a pretty convincing sermon using the red letters, because
Satan knows what Jesus said. Satan has memorized the Bible
(29:15):
a billion times over. Only Jesus defeated Satan in regard
to the Word. When Jesus was in the desert and
the devil came to tempt him, the devil kept trying
to fool him, to con him into saying things that
were not not in line with God's will or doing
things that were not in line with God's will, And
(29:36):
yet Jesus continued to go back to the Word it
is written. So Satan knows the red letters, and I
think he could give a very convincing gospel. A woman
named jen has made a very big career out about this.
Her name is jan Hamilton. I'm going to show you
what she does here in a second. In fact this
(29:56):
we're on this topic, let me tell you there is
a movie that it was supposed to be set in
the future. It's called Disciples in the Moonlight, and it's
about people who are smuggling Bibles in the United States
of America. And I know Angel Studios set this out
to be in the future, and yet just this weekend
I was reading about Canada. They're considering a bill that
(30:16):
would allow the premiere of Canada to outlaw certain pieces
of scripture in churches. So sure, you can give a sermon,
but that sermon cannot contain this or that piece of
scripture because it's hate speech. They're literally considering this. So
this movie is prescient. It also speaks into our ability
is to be imperfect people and still serve God. If
(30:38):
you're someone who struggles to make disciples because you don't
know the Bible completely, or maybe you have some things
going on in your personal life that aren't great and
so you're not willing to go out and make disciples,
this movie's a fantastic reminder that you do not need
to be a perfect person in order to carry out
God's will. That there's all portions of our life. You
might be struggling to say. In your job life, you
(30:58):
might not be treating your boss like to treat a boss,
which is as if you're working for the Lord Jesus himself.
You might have struggles at home. You might be in
a process of reconciliation, perhaps with your children or perhaps
with your spouse. It doesn't mean that you need to
stop making disciples, and this movie puts that in focus.
It also carries off on this thing that's going on
in Canada with the United States government issuing a very
(31:20):
special Bible called the Truth Bible, a Bible edited by government.
And you won't believe how clever these people are and
how they get these bibles smuggled that can only be
only be through God. I didn't even figure it out
until the end of the movie. I was astonished at
how they actually got it done. I think you will
be as well. Go watch this right now. It's angel

Com slash Herman. The reason this came about is my
wife showed me a song by a guy who's dedicated
(32:03):
a really beautiful song to Jen. To Jen Hamilton and
how she uses read letters. She's created a huge footprint
on social media and part of that is doing red
letter Christianity. Say, this guy named josh Am wrote this song.
It's utterly beautiful. I love it. I think in some
ways Satan would love it. Here's part of the song.
It's called I never said that. And then in parentheses
(32:26):
parentheses read words and Alex and are trying to figure
out if this is Ai, Chris. What a time we
live in. I have to wonder if this is Ai.
It's not Ai. He's got himself a heck of a studio.
Speaker 8 (32:39):
Behold my hands in my feet that it is ama
Zi handle me and see forest period at my flesh
and bones as.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
You see me.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
And if you see the image, it's Jesus in front
of a helmeted man, not for you.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
Or as I rose from me, see not for your flat.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
I think the humblet man is supposed to look like
an ice officer.
Speaker 8 (33:04):
But I never said that.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
And YouTube makes me talk, so we don't buy that copyright.
So I'm talking you build it.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
So I was raising flags, So reach my name you
with no bad old God for blessing out of peaks
made girls.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Asked what I said?
Speaker 8 (33:21):
Not the ones who trade the living for the day.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
I don't think the image is accidental.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
I was hungry and you gave me no fooling.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I was indeed you you know what this sounds like
an ad voice? I heard another song for real. I
never said I never said hate them, I never said
fight shine. I said, your light shine before men. If
(33:51):
you do it for if you do it for power,
you you forgot my face. Whatever due, whatever you do,
the least of these do to me. So it's a
beautiful song, and I'm halfway convinced now it's Ai because
again that voice sounds exactly like an AI voice that
(34:13):
a woman from our church. She used to create a
great song. I want to solve that song here. So
he dedicated this to Jen Hamilton. So in a second,
I'm gonna show you what Jen Hamilton does when she
does red word Christianity. But prepare yourself for this, because
then I'm gonna attempt to give a sermon the way
the way Satan would, using the words of Jesus, because
I'm convinced he could do a pretty good job of this,
(34:34):
of being almost Jesus like. And guess what almost getting
to heaven means, you're actually going to hell. So here's
Jen Hamilton, and this is a video that's well staged.
She comes out of her bedroom. Probably it's at night,
looks like early in the morning, no makeup. She does
a very simple thing. She opens the Bible. She begins
(34:56):
to read from it, and then she reaches a political conclusion.
(35:19):
Paid it's the Bible.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Here we go.
Speaker 9 (35:23):
For I was hungry and you fed me. I was
thirsty and you gave me a drink. I was a
stranger and you invited me into your home.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
I would show you pictures of ice, headlines of ice.
Speaker 9 (35:34):
And you cared for me. I was in prison and
you visited me. Then these righteous ones will reply, Lord,
when did we ever see you hungry and feed you,
or thirsty and give you something to drink, or a
stranger and show you hospitality, or naked and give you clothing?
When did we ever see you sick or in prison
and visit you? And the King will say, I tell
(35:56):
you the truth. When you did it to one of
the least of these my brothers and sisters, you are
doing it to me.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Okay, For the Bible pretty liberal. Sadly, it was pretty liberal.
And then she said, wait, I wanted to what hold on, Jen,
What did you say?
Speaker 9 (36:13):
Just one more part of this. Okay, then the King
will turn to those on his left and say, away
with you, you cursed ones into the eternal fire, prepared
for the devil in his demons. For I was hungry
and you didn't feed me.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
So she goes through the inverse and sounds pretty liberal.
Now to Jen, I would say directly this, did Jesus
address groups of people? Did he say, you didn't create
government programs for me, You didn't pay people to come
and see me, You didn't set up prison systems that
(36:49):
have activities for me. No, he addressed you. He was
talking to you, Jen, he's talking to me, Todd. You
did not visit me. Jesus didn't ask us to have
it hired done. Jesus told us that we need to
do it ourselves, and as the church body, that's exactly
(37:10):
what the apostles did. They created the first hospitals, the
first universities. One of the first actions was to ask
men to humble themselves to feed the Greek widows, a
job no man at that time wanted, but Jesus taught
them this is what we do. So the apostles carried
that out. Jesus showed no interest in government programs at all.
(37:35):
So when we're looking at things like this with people
like this, it's really important that we remember something. Jesus
surrounded himself with people. He surrounded himself with a Bible.
He had his words recorded for us. He surrounded himself
with people who preached and learned to preach from him.
(37:59):
The result is the Holy Bible. Now, what if Satan
decided to do red letter Christianity. He could do a
pretty good job of it. He could do something like this.
This is my idea of part of a sermon Satan
might give. Jesus taught us. He told us to go
(38:19):
and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
When Jesus told us this, remember the context that Jesus
told us that we need to love our neighbor as ourselves.
So as we go out in the world and we
make disciples, let's remember something. We're too lovely people they
(38:40):
like we love ourselves. So, for instance, when's the last
time that you sat there just hating yourself. I mean,
maybe you feel guilty sometimes, but do you hate yourself
or spend a lot of time judging yourself? Do you
want other people to judge you? Do you go tell
people secrets so they can judge you? Or do you
understand there's just some things that we just don't speak. Look,
(39:00):
we all know people do things. Like you know that
your friends do things privately they don't talk about, and
you're not going to go tell them, Hey, I need
to know your private life, right? You know? Inside that's wrong.
We love our neighbors knowing that they do things at
home in private that we may not want to know about,
but we still love them. That's what we're called to do,
to love our neighbors as ourselves. It says so in
(39:21):
Mark twelve thirty through thirty one. So it's the we're
oute making disciples. Let's remember that we're not there to
dig into people's private lives, even our enemies. I mean,
Jesus taught love your enemies and pray for those who
persecute you, that you may be children of your father
in heaven. That's Matthew five forty four. So how can
(39:41):
you love a person when you're sitting there hating a
whole bunch of stuff about them? I mean, there's things
they do you might disagree with, but it's impossible to
love a person if you hate all the things they do.
So let's keep something in mind that people do their
thing and we do ours. And we're told to make
disciples until love our neighbors as we love ourselves. And
(40:02):
we're not asking have people come in and judge our
private activities anymore than anyone else is asking us to
go judge theirs. Let's not have that heart. Well, let's
remember something. Jesus was super clear in Matthew twenty five
thirty five through forty. He said, for I was hungry
and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty
and you gave me something to drink. I was a
(40:22):
stranger and you invited me in. I needed close and
you clothed me. I was sick and you looked after me.
I was in prison and you came to visit me.
And Jesus was speaking here but the need to take
care of the people around us. Remember, he said we
should pay taxes. He said this in he said that
we should pay taxes in Matthew twenty two twenty one.
(40:46):
Anyone who's arguing against government programs needs to remember that
Jesus himself said we need to pay the tax give
to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's.
And remember this. There came a time when Jesus Christ
had a problem with some of his friends. We'll get
to that, but he had a bigger problem with God.
(41:08):
When Jesus was on the cross, he cried out in
Matthew twenty seven forty six, My God, My God, why
have you forsaken me? God? Forsake them forsook him at
that moment. But remember his friends were there. John was there,
the Marys were there. At least Jesus as he went
to his death, he knew his friends were there. And
(41:30):
when Jesus came back, where did he find Peter out
fishing like he always was, just out fishing. This is
in John twenty one fifteen through nineteen. They'd finished eating.
Jesus had come, seen them fishing, drew them in. He
said then to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do
you love me more than these? Yes? Lord, Peter said,
(41:52):
you know that I love you. Jesus said, feed my
lambs again. Jesus said, Simon, son of God, do you
love me? He answered, yes, Lord, you know that I
love you. Jesus said, take care of my sheep. The
third time that he said to him, sign him son
of John, do you love me? Peter was hurt because
Jesus asked him the third time do you love me?
He said, Lord, do you know all things? You know?
Speaker 2 (42:11):
I love you?
Speaker 1 (42:12):
So right there at the end there's Jesus loving his friends.
So remember this. We are to love our neighbor as
we love ourselves. We're to make disciples with that mind loving,
not going and digging into people's private lives, simply loving them.
(42:34):
I remember this, You have your friends. Even when God
forsakes you, you still have your friends. See even Satan
could do a pretty convincing job of delivering a sermon
based just upon the red words. This is the Todd
Hermann Shaw. Please go, be well, be strong, be kind,
(42:55):
and please make every effort to walk in the light
of Christ.
