Okay, where we came from, fromlast July Last July, which was

So some catechism this week.
We've been doing catechism forthe past four weeks when we do
(03:12):
question and answer, and I'mgoing to call on individuals
here now and bring them oncamera and ask them these
questions, to make sure thateveryone knows their catechisms.
We'll start with you know,tyler, because everyone I know,
my girls, will know this B whatis your life?
(03:36):
You nailed it, girl.
So you guys probably couldn'thear that over there, but that
was my six-year-old nailing it.
Meanwhile, the 23-year-old,22-year-old, the 69-year-old,
(04:01):
the Lauren would have got it aswell, but anyways, so let's go
over and we're going to reviewthe other ones and we're going
to get a new one to build on.
Okay, what is your life?
To glorify God, honoring andexalting in Him forever.
Whom do you serve?
I serve the Lord of hosts,father, son and Holy Spirit, the
one true God, my Creator,redeemer, sustainer and Eternal
(04:26):
King, who is Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the eternal Sonof God, made flesh, our warrior
, king, who conquered sin, deathand the devil and now rules at
the right hand of the Father.
And this week I'm going torepeat this one three times what
is your weapon?
(04:47):
The Word of God, the sword ofthe Spirit, sure and true.
Question four what is yourweapon?
The Word of God, the sword ofthe Spirit, sure and true.
What is your weapon?
The Word of God, the sword ofthe Spirit, sure and true.
What is your weapon?
The word of God, the sword ofthe spirit, sure and true.
(05:08):
One last time for extra credit.
What is your weapon?
The word of God, the sword ofthe spirit, sure and true.
You should be going over theseat the dinner table and
breakfast, like we are doing.
Some are hard.
You're going over these at thedinner table and breakfast, like
we are doing.
Okay, some are hard.
You're going to stumble at aword because I chose a cooler
(05:30):
sounding word than somethingthat would have sounded more
natural.
Right, but you know it.
And if you say it and it's notword for word, but you got it
right well then, ours is justmore succinct of a definition.
You'll find that if you studyyour Bible and you know your
Bible, you'll get all the partsright.
(05:51):
It's just going to take youmore words, right, which is fine
.
It's just.
You have to know what youbelieve and why you believe it.
And if you know these things,you're going to be able you know
your catechism, you will beable to defend your faith.
You'll know what you believeand it will not be easy to knock
(06:18):
you off the path or shake yourfaith, all right.
So the state of the project thatis this farm and some
announcements.
We were blessed this week ifyou guys watch social media, you
know by a donation last yearour side-by-side broke down.
(06:41):
Um, it was good for the firstyear, year and a half, and then
it just really went downhill andit was making life really hard
on the farm.
But we didn't complain, we justcarried on, didn't really say
much, and someone noticed andblessed us, sent us a message,
(07:33):
who asked to remain anonymousand said that God wanted them to
gift us a side new Can-AmDefender 1000 XP Max.
It's got four doors, ac heat.
I mean it's awesome.
It's awesome and it's alreadymade a huge impact here on the
farm and we're reallyappreciative of that.
It's awesome and it's alreadymade a huge impact here on the
farm and we're reallyappreciative of that.
You know, between that and thatpolice officer's testimony we
got a couple weeks ago, you know, sometimes when I'm talking to
(07:58):
a room full of friends andfamily and you're talking to
this black camera lens, that'sright there.
You don't know who's watchingand you don't know if anyone
sees it and you're not making.
That's right there.
You don't know who's watchingand you don't know if anyone
sees it and if you're making anydifference out there.
But it always appears thatwhenever I feel that way, god
sends someone my way to bump mealong.
(08:19):
So again, we're very graciousfor the blessing God continues
to provide for this ministry andfor this farm.
And again, this came unaskedfor unbidden and it has already
changed our life and madeeverything a lot more
sustainable on the farm and alot easier to maintain the farm.
(08:43):
So thank you, thank you, thankyou.
All glory goes to God.
But I just wanted to let youguys know we named it Shield
Maiden.
You know, one part mama, onepart farmer, one part warrior,
and so you'll see Shield Maidenbopping around on social media
(09:04):
or around Johnson City if you'rehere.
So that was good.
Yesterday we processed, I think,20, 18, 20 Cornish cross birds
chickens.
That was great.
It went really smooth.
I think it was yesterday, maybeit was the day before.
Was it yesterday?
Man, days are long, days arelong.
(09:39):
So yeah, so that was good.
We are planning on processingpigs in rapid succession here.
We just got to get caught upfrom our trip to Texas.
That was why I wasn't here lastweek and I thank you for your
prayers.
It was a very fruitful trip toDallas where we spoke at the
ACCS Conference Association ofClassical Christian Schools on
how to defend the flock, and itwas very well received.
(10:01):
And it was Lauren and I's firsttrip in like six years without
kids, so it was like a secondhoneymoon for us.
So it was, it was an amazingexperience and, um, we actually
had, uh, two women come up to usabout the trident shield
training who thanked us, who Ijust trained within two months,
(10:26):
and one said that our trainingsaved their receptionist from
being abducted out of theparking lot and that she used
our training and got out ofthere, which was great.
And then another person saidthat the training another female
said it helped her avoidwalking in on a gas station
(10:47):
armed robbery with ski masks andeverything.
Both of them had ski masks, theabduction person and, um and
the um, the armed robbery in thegas station.
So praise god that it savedsome lives and will continue to
save lives.
And thank you for your prayersfor blessing our, blessing our,
(11:11):
our trip.
You okay over there.
Okay, we'll have her go talk toLauren and then she can find it
Okay.
So let's go ahead and pray itin Almighty.

Lord's Day as your ironcladwarriors, forged in the furnace
(11:33):
of your will, ready to stormevery stronghold and claim every
inch for Christ, our conqueringKing.
We rally under the bloodstainedbanner of Jesus, unyielding in

Lebanon, the river, the greatrivers, the Euphrates, even to
the Western Sea, shall be yourterritory.
Turning point moment July 4,2024,.
America trembled on the jaggededge of Armageddon.
(12:38):
Moral darkness surged like ahellish tide besieging every
rampart of righteousness.
But God's elect warriors,chosen by his sovereign grace,
roared in defiance.
No more retreat advance withfury.
Today we stand on sacred ground, rested from the enemy by
(12:59):
divine decree.
Yet hear this, soldiers of thecross.
This is no mere victory lap.
It's a thunderous war cry.
Rejoice over conqueredterritory, only to draw your
swords and charge into the frayonce more.
Daniel Webster said hold on, myfriends, to the Constitution and
(13:21):
to the republic for which itstands, to your principles and
your liberties.

and I mean it's just, it wasjust so dark.
The LGBTQ oppressiveness, thetrans being jammed down your
throat, our military beingdestroyed Like it was just over

In the culture war, big tech'sspeech shackles were shattered

by the hammer of truth AfterElon Musk bought Twitter and
then Trump got it all out, everysocial media platform is now
like we used to not be able tosay COVID, we had to call it the
bug, and we couldn't sayvaccine, we had to call it the
jab.
Like everyone has forgotten theoppressive language control we
(19:16):
all had for so darn long.
Can't tell you how many strikesor how many times we were taken
down and suspended on the airbecause we said something like
election denial or denier orwhatever.
I mean, it was just absolutelyinsane.
And finally we have sanity back.
(19:40):
So, state-level dominion, majorvictories by state.
Because you, you may think thisis just happening here and
trust me, I'm going to readtennessee's accomplishments and
your mind's going to be blown.

(22:38):
be proud here Heartbeat lawenforced, zero elective
abortions post six weeks, afortress for unborn life in
Tennessee.
Youth Protection Act.
No gender affirming surgerieson minors.
It is branded a Class E felonyin this state.
Chaplain Access Law Volunteerchaplains can go into public
schools.
Here In God we Trust Actnational model blazes in every
(23:03):
K-12 classroom.
Constitutional Carry since 2021.
Permanent list concealed opencarry.
Affirmed arming the saints.
Drag performance restrictionsbanned adult drag shows from
public venues.
Purging filth.
Now one of the other states Iwant to highlight is Florida.
Again, this is God workingthrough the hard work of saints.
(23:28):
We always talk about trustingversus testing the Lord.
We do the work so God can blessit.
There was thousands andthousands or millions of hours
of work from people all acrossaround this country to get this
stuff done.
People all across around thiscountry to get this stuff done.
(23:50):
So here is what Florida hasdone with Ron DeSantis.
Parental Rights and EducationAct Schools tremble before
parental authority on gender andsexuality.
Stop Woke.
Act.
Smashes division.
Dei Training in PublicWorkplaces Banned.
Critical Race Theory in Schools.

Election Integrity Measures,voter ID and Verification Lock.
Lockdown faith-basedstrongholds.
Ban on drag story hours, dragperformances purged from
libraries and schools.
(24:34):
Faith-friendly employmentprotection, workers' rights to

There's even more Cultural andpolitical victories.
There's even more Cultural andpolitical victories.
Warriors survey the battlefield.
God's sovereign hand hascrushed the enemy, yet the war
(24:58):
drums pound for more conquest.
Scotus wins Supreme Court ofthe United States, funders for
parental rights to shieldchildren from LGBTQ
indoctrination and uphold ageverification on porn sites
online.
Acts 529 says we must obey Godrather than men.
(25:20):
Public opinion has shifted.
We were sliding down on whoconsidered themselves Christian,
but we have stopped sliding andare regaining ground.
70% of Americans proclaimChrist as King and 30% worship
weekly.
All right now, obviously, notall 70% of them have a biblical
(25:43):
worldview.
Live it out.
A lot of them are culturalChristians.
But that's better than where wewere going.
The tide is turning.
People had enough of theinsanity and we are winning.
I'm not here to say we suck foronce.
We suck at a lot of things, butGod is winning.
(26:11):
I know it must be hard when youlive in Massachusetts or New
York or California or Washingtonor Oregon or some other
hellhole, but there are so manyplaces that are tracking more
godly.
Now what happens during allthis time?
As places become more godly,the godless flee it.
(26:34):
And where do they go?
Sodom and Gomorrah.
So California is going to getworse.
Massachusetts is going to getworse.
New York is going to get worse.
New York is looking at maybeelecting a Muslim, a socialist
Muslim.
(26:56):
Proverbs 29.2 says when therighteous increase, the people
rejoice.
But when the wicked man rules,the people groan Republicans.
But when the wicked man rolls,the people groan Republicans.
For the first time in I don'tknow how long, wield a 46% to
45% war edge in party ID,holding the line for three years
(27:21):
.
Now there are more Republicansthan Democrats now, or people
who are leaning that way.
Before I came in here, I waswatching a report where they
were talking about, for thefirst time ever, if more people
voted.
They figured out that Trumpwould have won by more because
all the people who didn't votesaid they would have voted for
Trump.
(27:41):
Things are changing.
Do you remember how dark it waswhen you can't say morning ma'am
, because you're afraid you'regoing to get?
How dare you gender me?
I'm a unicorn, fairy, dragonfly.
You can't tell my blue hair andmy sparkles.
(28:05):
That was a real thing.
Walking around with maskseverywhere, driving around in
your own car with a mask, alone,alone, I travel all over the
country, I still see morons inmasks and you always know what
(28:30):
they're going to look like.
You always know.
You know exactly before I eventell you what they're going to
look like.
We see them here.
You can tell them from behindbecause they got blue hair,
right, Blue hair and all of asudden you look and they up it's
always.
They got blue hair right, bluehair and all of a sudden you
look and they up, it's alwaysshaved in the back right.
And then they got that littlemask loop over their ears
(28:52):
Insanity.
Daniel 221 says he changestimes and seasons.
He removes kings and sets upkings.
Pro-life legislative momentum 41states draw blood with abortion
bans or limits.
Born Alive.
(29:13):
Survivors Protection Act standsas a shield.
If you survive an abortion,they have to save you.
Abortion, they have to save you.
And again, the global influenceof the US delegation spearhead
(29:36):
UN religious liberty crusades.
International Religious FreedomCommission's budget has surged
20% for persecuted saints aroundthe world.
Therefore, go and makedisciples of all the nations.
So what do we do now that we'rewinning all this?
(29:56):
What are we to do?
Well, we can't take our footoff the gas.
We have to focus on what's mostimportant, and what's most
important is where you'restanding.
We must focus on families, ourfamilies.
(30:17):
God has granted us these bigwins.
To get our own houses in order,we have to do what we can do.
Your families are the firstbattle line warriors.
Storm the enemy schemes in yourown strongholds with
(30:40):
unrelenting zeal.
Own strongholds withunrelenting zeal.
I don't even know what she wassaying, but it was something to
do with a chick, but anyways,all right, anchor in prayer.
Fortify your home with dailyprayer siege, sunrise assaults,
(31:15):
mealtime barrages and eveningwar councils.
Your meals are a moment whereyou're all sitting around.
Make them time where you helpeach other grow, where you talk
about your struggles, yourquestions.
Don't just let it be staring atyour phones around the table.
Connect, fight for one another.
(31:39):
Arm yourself with weekly verseforged in memory.
Plaster your walls with God'sword as battle standards,
putting up Christian art aroundyour home that's got Bible
verses.
Practice writing them out.
Those catechisms, those areimportant.
And get your mind thinkingabout things.
(32:10):
You should, instead of thinkingof things you're not.
Daily family worship.
This is that, but it's also,you know, most, I'd say 90% of
the music that's played in ourhouse is Christian.
Okay, we don't allow dark stuffin here.
We try to purge and we areconstantly.
If we find something wrong witha song, we're ditching it
(32:30):
whatever.
But we it doesn't have to behymns, it doesn't have to be
psalms.
When you can, I don't care whatall the naysayers are If you
got some great bopping Christiansong on that makes you love the
Lord more, good on you.
Good on you.
I don't care if it's Crowder,brandon Lake, hillsong, as long
(32:51):
as it's not heretical in whatthey're saying.
Which, as John MacArthur said,even a broken clock's right
twice.
And so there are some greatsongs out there.
Make God a part of your dailyday.
If you make him a part of yourday, you will continue to grow.
(33:13):
If you don't deliberatelypursue him, your faith will wane
and your walk with God you'llget distance and gap.
You'll walk away from himwithout even knowing.
We need to do more gospelfeasts, where we bring our
(33:34):
neighbors into our house and ourfriends and show them how
Christians live Notice, everyonearound the table is not
dropping F-bombs all the timehuh, you mean, I don't have to
use that as my word for and showthem what giving and
hospitality looks like, and Iguarantee you one of your kids
(33:59):
will do something wrong, andthen you'll get to show them
what godly discipline looks like.
That's how we do this.
Kids will do something wrong,and then you'll get to show them
what godly discipline lookslike.
Right, that's how we do this.
Again, stay active on yoursocial media accounts.
Battle false reports, blastscripture, be uplifting and then
(34:30):
, of course, support yourneighbors.
We'll fly we'll fly all the wayto Haiti to help strangers, but
we won't help our neighborsacross the street.
We gotta do much better at that.
Deuteronomy 6, 6-7 says thesewords that I command you today
(34:54):
shall be on your heart.
You shall teach them diligentlyto your children.
Now we've got to purify the camp.
We've got to root out the enemywithin.
We've talked about this in 1John and Peter, no 2 Peter, or,
(35:18):
as the deadliest foes lurkwithin our own ranks.
By God's sovereign judgment, wemust purge the camp with holy
fire.
We must call out the prosperitycharlatans, unmask and cast
down false teachers who peddlegrace for gold, the gender
affirming clergy.
I have a family member who Ilove dearly, who is in an LGBTQ
(35:39):
church, being misled, and heknows it's wrong, but he's got a
pastor telling him it's okay.
That pastor is going to pay,when his day comes, for leading
him astray.
Leading him astray, thegender-affirming clergy are
(36:04):
pestilence.
We must drive out the wolveswho drag lambs into cultural
perdition, woke preachers andsilent shepherds.
We're going to thunder againstthe pulpits that cower or
compromise and let them tremble.
And then, of course, the lattebar churches and the pew warmers
.
Shatter the complacency of thelukewarm congregations.
(36:27):
Tell them to awaken or be sweptaside.
1 Peter 4.17 says For the timehas come for judgment to begin
at the household of God.
So how do we do this?
We name them as Paul namedDemas, expose apostasy with
fearless clarity.
Defund them, cut the lifebloodfrom institutions that defy
(36:52):
God's word.
And this is really important.
Dollars are bullets.
Don't support Starbucks whenyou know they hate Christians
and they support everythingagainst you.
Don't support Target when theytry to corrupt your kids with
LGBTQ cline of loathing andtheir insanity.
Those are just two examples.
(37:15):
And they are paying becauseChristians are holding the line.
Line, storm dead churches withrevival or plant new bastions of
(37:37):
truth.
That's what we need to do Now.
One of the things that reallyupsets me about modern church or
Christianity today, on myReformed brother side, these are
people who I agree withtheologically 95%, 98.5%.
Heck, I even had a guy I wastalking to at the conference who
I agree with 99.9% and that0.1% difference was not enough
(38:03):
for him.
We must avoid friendly fire ora circular firing squad.
The purity tests are exhausting.
The chosen is bad.
Okay, how Right.
(38:31):
The chosen is artwork that makesme like Christ even more.
I don't know why, but everytime I watch that.
I don't enjoy every episode,but most times I watch that it
makes me think about Jesus.
It makes me love Jesus.
I'm spending time in Jesusinstead of John Wick.
How is that bad?
Oh, they had a gay cameraman ontheir set.
(38:55):
Okay, what if you had a gayplumber who did the plumbing for
your house?
Are you going to rip out yourplumbing?
It's just ridiculous.
It's absolutely ridiculous.
Look at it, realize what it is.
It's Christian inspired art.
It's not trying to replace theBible.
God has used that to bring morepeople to him than any single
(39:18):
pastor alive today.
So live today.
So, while we purge corruption,we march under one banner
Christ's banner.
We can fight over essentials.
Stand as granted on the gospel,sexual purity and sola
(39:40):
scriptura.
The Bible.
Never yield, but show charityon non-essentials.
Clash with grace over thetiming of the rapture or if
there is a rapture.
If you're amil, post-mil, youknow, pre-mil, whatever, if
you're a new earther, youngearther, old earther these
(40:04):
things are not salvation-basedand don't matter.
The standard should be when youare looking to have fellowship
with someone, do they believethe Bible and are they trying to
walk it out in their life?
If this is just a self-helpbook, they're not living on a
biblical worldview.
This is the guide for how youlive your life.
(40:25):
That's how you know theirmorality is secure and you can
be around them and you caninvest in them.
You can disagree on the otherothers too, because it's real
fun stuff to talk about, but itdoesn't matter about salvation.
It's not a salvation issue.
Worship style.
(40:45):
You want to sing songs that are400 years old?
Go for it.
You want to sing songs with noinstruments?
Go for it.
You want to sing songs to anorgan?
Go for it.
You want a rock band, as longas they're singing godly songs,
I don't care.
(41:10):
Ephesians 4.3 says be eager tomaintain the unity of the spirit
and the bond of peace.
A Calvinist and an Arminian canstorm an abortion clinic in
prayer as brothers-in-arms.
There is no problem there.
So the final charge March on invictory, soldiers of the cross.
(41:33):
The ground we've seized is buta foretaste of Christ's total
dominion.
The war horn blares advancerelentlessly until every shadow
flees before his blinding glory.
The enemy quakes, hell trembles, and victory is assured by
God's sovereign decree.
Stand boldly, don the fullarmor of God, the belt of truth,
(41:59):
cinch tight Sword of the spiritdrawn for blood.
Speak courageously, thunder thegospel in workplaces, school,
in the streets.
Let no ear escape his call.
Serve faithfully, charge intobattle by loving the defenseless
, fortifying the body andcrushing the foe.
(42:21):
Philippians 3.14 says I press ontowards the goal for the prize
of the upward call of the God inChrist Jesus.
So we're going to go ahead nowand do the Lord's Supper, holy
Communion.
1 Corinthians 11.28 says but aman must test himself, and so
(42:48):
doing, he is to eat of the breadand drink of the cup.
Before we partake, let usquietly bow before the King of
glory.
Let each man, woman and youngwarrior here search his or her
heart, confessing sin, layingdown burdens, preparing to eat
and drink in a manner worthy ofthe Lord.
Go ahead now.
(43:09):
Amen, Amen, amen, amen, amen,amen, amen, amen, amen, amen,
amen, amen, amen, amen, amen,amen, amen, amen, amen, amen,
(43:42):
amen, amen, amen.
Amen.
Almighty God, sovereign, lord ofhosts, we approach your table
today not because we are worthy,but because Christ is worthy.
We come not trusting in our ownrighteousness, but clinging to
the righteousness of JesusChrist alone.
We remember his body broken,his blood poured out for the new
(44:03):
covenant.
We bow in humble gratitude.
We lift our hearts in reverentawe.
We remember his body broken,his blood poured out for the new
covenant.
We bow in humble gratitude.
We lift our hearts in reverentawe.
Sanctify this bread and thiscup and sanctify us, your people
, as we proclaim the death,resurrection and the coming
kingdom of our Lord Jesus.
We pray in his mighty andmatchless name Amen.
(44:24):
The Lord Jesus, in the night inwhich he was being betrayed,
took bread and when he had giventhanks, he broke it and said
this is my body, which is foryou.
Do this in remembrance of me.
Remember this symbolizes hisbody, pierced, beaten and
sacrificed for you.
Let us partake of the breadtogether to remember Christ's
body broken for us.
(44:45):
Go ahead and eat In the sameway.
He took the cup also aftersupper, saying this cup is the
new covenant in my blood.
Do this as often as you drinkit in remembrance of me,
(45:09):
remember.
This symbolizes his blood, theblood that purchased our
forgiveness and sealed theeverlasting covenant.
Let us partake of the cuptogether to remember Christ's
blood poured out for us.
Go ahead and drink, for asoften as you eat of this bread
(45:31):
and drink the cup, you proclaimthe death of the Lord until he
comes.
By this eating and drinking, wepublicly proclaim Christ has
died.
Christ has risen.
Christ will come again.
We are the soldiers in hiseverlasting kingdom.
Let's go ahead and bow ourheads.
Almighty King of kings, lord ofhosts, we bow before your
(45:54):
throne ablaze, with gratitudefor every stronghold shattered
and every victory won by yourirresistible might.
Set our hearts aflame, forgeour will as steel, empower us to
march united, unbreakable,unstoppable, until your kingdom
reigns over every inch of thisfallen earth.
(46:15):
In the victorious,all-conquering name of Jesus.
Amen, all right.
God bless you guys.
We'll see you next week.
All right, hey, happy Lord's Day to you.
Happy beginning of 4th of Julyweekend or week, sorry, sunday,

I know that's a surprise tosome people.
Sunday, monday, tuesday,wednesday, thursday, friday,
saturday, not Monday, tuesday,wednesday, thursday, friday,
(00:21):
saturday, sunday.
Right, those are the orders.
You know, maybe they don'tteach that in school today, I
don't know.
But welcome To this.
You know, I actually debatedwith Lauren as I was talking.
We were talking about sermonprep and I'm like it's 4th of
July this week, but Friday is4th of July Weekend.
(00:43):
Well, it's 4th of July, andshould I do it on Sunday after?
And then it's like no, you gotto do it before, before it's
late and so whatever.
So we're going to cover ittoday and I've never been more
pumped to do a 4th of Julysermon after four years before
(01:03):
to what we have now.
Like this whole sermon is goingto be good news.
Okay, where we came from, fromlast July Last July, which was
very uncertain, in a very darkplace, to this Fourth of July
(01:24):
week.
So welcome to Christian WarriorMission, a home, church,
community ministry and farm.
We forge men and families intobattle-ready disciples of King
Jesus, locking shields on sevengiven fronts faith, family,
fitness, finances, fundamentals,fellowship and fidelity,
(01:46):
advancing on each front everysingle day.
So Christ is honored, hispeople are protected and his
kingdom surges into every sphereof life.
Advance on every front, everyday.
No excuses, no retreats.
All right, the seven dailyfronts.
A summary of them them faithfight for a relationship with
our Lord and Savior, jesusChrist, by studying his word,
(02:09):
prayer and catechism.
Family fight deliberately,pursue a relationship and fight
for your family, friends,neighbors and even strangers.
But it starts with your family.
Fitness fight to be functional,fit to fight, farm and finish
the race.
Arts with your family.
Fitness Fight to be functional,fit to fight, farm and finish
(02:29):
the race.
Glorify God with your body.
Finances Fight to rule the warchest not to be a slave to debt
or materialism.
Fundamentals Fight to be anasset to yourself, your family,
fellowship and communityFellowship.
Fight for godly relationshipswith brothers and sisters.
(02:50):
Lock shields.
No warrior fights alone.
Fidelity Fight to be faithfulto both Jesus Christ and our
spouses, with our minds andbodies.
Hold the line of purity, noquarter to lust.
So some catechism this week.
We've been doing catechism forthe past four weeks when we do
(03:12):
question and answer, and I'mgoing to call on individuals
here now and bring them oncamera and ask them these
questions, to make sure thateveryone knows their catechisms.
We'll start with you know,tyler, because everyone I know,
my girls, will know this B whatis your life?
(03:36):
You nailed it, girl.
So you guys probably couldn'thear that over there, but that
was my six-year-old nailing it.
Meanwhile, the 23-year-old,22-year-old, the 69-year-old,
(04:01):
the Lauren would have got it aswell, but anyways, so let's go
over and we're going to reviewthe other ones and we're going
to get a new one to build on.
Okay, what is your life?
To glorify God, honoring andexalting in Him forever.
Whom do you serve?
I serve the Lord of hosts,father, son and Holy Spirit, the
one true God, my Creator,redeemer, sustainer and Eternal
(04:26):
King, who is Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the eternal Sonof God, made flesh, our warrior
, king, who conquered sin, deathand the devil and now rules at
the right hand of the Father.
And this week I'm going torepeat this one three times what
is your weapon?
(04:47):
The Word of God, the sword ofthe Spirit, sure and true.
Question four what is yourweapon?
The Word of God, the sword ofthe Spirit, sure and true.
What is your weapon?
The Word of God, the sword ofthe Spirit, sure and true.
What is your weapon?
The word of God, the sword ofthe spirit, sure and true.
(05:08):
One last time for extra credit.
What is your weapon?
The word of God, the sword ofthe spirit, sure and true.
You should be going over theseat the dinner table and
breakfast, like we are doing.
Some are hard.
You're going over these at thedinner table and breakfast, like
we are doing.
Okay, some are hard.
You're going to stumble at aword because I chose a cooler
(05:30):
sounding word than somethingthat would have sounded more
natural.
Right, but you know it.
And if you say it and it's notword for word, but you got it
right well then, ours is justmore succinct of a definition.
You'll find that if you studyyour Bible and you know your
Bible, you'll get all the partsright.
(05:51):
It's just going to take youmore words, right, which is fine
.
It's just.
You have to know what youbelieve and why you believe it.
And if you know these things,you're going to be able you know
your catechism, you will beable to defend your faith.
You'll know what you believeand it will not be easy to knock
(06:18):
you off the path or shake yourfaith, all right.
So the state of the project thatis this farm and some
announcements.
We were blessed this week ifyou guys watch social media, you
know by a donation last yearour side-by-side broke down.
(06:41):
Um, it was good for the firstyear, year and a half, and then
it just really went downhill andit was making life really hard
on the farm.
But we didn't complain, we justcarried on, didn't really say
much, and someone noticed andblessed us, sent us a message,
(07:33):
who asked to remain anonymousand said that God wanted them to
gift us a side new Can-AmDefender 1000 XP Max.
It's got four doors, ac heat.
I mean it's awesome.
It's awesome and it's alreadymade a huge impact here on the
farm and we're reallyappreciative of that.
It's awesome and it's alreadymade a huge impact here on the
farm and we're reallyappreciative of that.
You know, between that and thatpolice officer's testimony we
got a couple weeks ago, you know, sometimes when I'm talking to
(07:58):
a room full of friends andfamily and you're talking to
this black camera lens, that'sright there.
You don't know who's watchingand you don't know if anyone
sees it and you're not making.
That's right there.
You don't know who's watchingand you don't know if anyone
sees it and if you're making anydifference out there.
But it always appears thatwhenever I feel that way, god
sends someone my way to bump mealong.
(08:19):
So again, we're very graciousfor the blessing God continues
to provide for this ministry andfor this farm.
And again, this came unaskedfor unbidden and it has already
changed our life and madeeverything a lot more
sustainable on the farm and alot easier to maintain the farm.
(08:43):
So thank you, thank you, thankyou.
All glory goes to God.
But I just wanted to let youguys know we named it Shield
Maiden.
You know, one part mama, onepart farmer, one part warrior,
and so you'll see Shield Maidenbopping around on social media
(09:04):
or around Johnson City if you'rehere.
So that was good.
Yesterday we processed, I think,20, 18, 20 Cornish cross birds
chickens.
That was great.
It went really smooth.
I think it was yesterday, maybeit was the day before.
Was it yesterday?
Man, days are long, days arelong.
(09:39):
So yeah, so that was good.
We are planning on processingpigs in rapid succession here.
We just got to get caught upfrom our trip to Texas.
That was why I wasn't here lastweek and I thank you for your
prayers.
It was a very fruitful trip toDallas where we spoke at the
ACCS Conference Association ofClassical Christian Schools on
how to defend the flock, and itwas very well received.
(10:01):
And it was Lauren and I's firsttrip in like six years without
kids, so it was like a secondhoneymoon for us.
So it was, it was an amazingexperience and, um, we actually
had, uh, two women come up to usabout the trident shield
training who thanked us, who Ijust trained within two months,
(10:26):
and one said that our trainingsaved their receptionist from
being abducted out of theparking lot and that she used
our training and got out ofthere, which was great.
And then another person saidthat the training another female
said it helped her avoidwalking in on a gas station
(10:47):
armed robbery with ski masks andeverything.
Both of them had ski masks, theabduction person and, um and
the um, the armed robbery in thegas station.
So praise god that it savedsome lives and will continue to
save lives.
And thank you for your prayersfor blessing our, blessing our,
(11:11):
our trip.
You okay over there.
Okay, we'll have her go talk toLauren and then she can find it
Okay.

Lord's Day as your ironcladwarriors, forged in the furnace
(11:33):
of your will, ready to stormevery stronghold and claim every
inch for Christ, our conqueringKing.
We rally under the bloodstainedbanner of Jesus, unyielding in
truth, armored in righteousnessand wielding the unbreakable
sword of the Spirit.
Ignite our hearts with yourholy fire.
(11:53):
Let our worship thunder as abattle cry and our prayers storm
the gates of heaven.
May our praise shake the earthlike war drums and our
intercessions blaze as incensebefore your throne of glory.
Amen, kingdom of conquest.

Lebanon, the river, the greatrivers, the Euphrates, even to
the Western Sea, shall be yourterritory.
Turning point moment July 4,2024,.
America trembled on the jaggededge of Armageddon.
(12:38):
Moral darkness surged like ahellish tide besieging every
rampart of righteousness.
But God's elect warriors,chosen by his sovereign grace,
roared in defiance.
No more retreat advance withfury.
Today we stand on sacred ground, rested from the enemy by
(12:59):
divine decree.
Yet hear this, soldiers of thecross.
This is no mere victory lap.
It's a thunderous war cry.
Rejoice over conqueredterritory, only to draw your
swords and charge into the frayonce more.
Daniel Webster said hold on, myfriends, to the Constitution and

dies.
And boy did we do that lastyear.

The LGBTQ oppressiveness, thetrans being jammed down your
throat, our military beingdestroyed Like it was just over

70% of Americans proclaimChrist as King and 30% worship
weekly.
All right now, obviously, notall 70% of them have a biblical
(25:43):
worldview.
Live it out.
A lot of them are culturalChristians.
But that's better than where wewere going.
The tide is turning.
People had enough of theinsanity and we are winning.
I'm not here to say we suck foronce.
We suck at a lot of things, butGod is winning.
(26:11):
I know it must be hard when youlive in Massachusetts or New
York or California or Washingtonor Oregon or some other
hellhole, but there are so manyplaces that are tracking more
godly.
Now what happens during allthis time?
As places become more godly,the godless flee it.
(26:34):
And where do they go?
Sodom and Gomorrah.
So California is going to getworse.
Massachusetts is going to getworse.
New York is going to get worse.
New York is looking at maybeelecting a Muslim, a socialist
Muslim.
(26:56):
Proverbs 29.2 says when therighteous increase, the people
rejoice.
But when the wicked man rules,the people groan Republicans.
But when the wicked man rolls,the people groan Republicans.
For the first time in I don'tknow how long, wield a 46% to
45% war edge in party ID,holding the line for three years
(27:21):
.
Now there are more Republicansthan Democrats now, or people
who are leaning that way.
Before I came in here, I waswatching a report where they
were talking about, for thefirst time ever, if more people
voted.
They figured out that Trumpwould have won by more because
all the people who didn't votesaid they would have voted for
Trump.
(27:41):
Things are changing.
Do you remember how dark it waswhen you can't say morning ma'am
, because you're afraid you'regoing to get?
How dare you gender me?
I'm a unicorn, fairy, dragonfly.
You can't tell my blue hair andmy sparkles.
(28:05):
That was a real thing.
Walking around with maskseverywhere, driving around in
your own car with a mask, alone,alone, I travel all over the
country, I still see morons inmasks and you always know what
(28:30):
they're going to look like.
You always know.
You know exactly before I eventell you what they're going to
look like.
We see them here.
You can tell them from behindbecause they got blue hair,
right, Blue hair and all of asudden you look and they up it's
always.
They got blue hair right, bluehair and all of a sudden you
look and they up, it's alwaysshaved in the back right.
And then they got that littlemask loop over their ears
(28:52):
Insanity.
Daniel 221 says he changestimes and seasons.
He removes kings and sets upkings.
Pro-life legislative momentum 41states draw blood with abortion
bans or limits.
Born Alive.
(29:13):
Survivors Protection Act standsas a shield.
If you survive an abortion,they have to save you.
Abortion, they have to save you.
And again, the global influenceof the US delegation spearhead
(29:36):
UN religious liberty crusades.
International Religious FreedomCommission's budget has surged
20% for persecuted saints aroundthe world.
Therefore, go and makedisciples of all the nations.
So what do we do now that we'rewinning all this?
(29:56):
What are we to do?
Well, we can't take our footoff the gas.
We have to focus on what's mostimportant, and what's most
important is where you'restanding.
We must focus on families, ourfamilies.
(30:17):
God has granted us these bigwins.
To get our own houses in order,we have to do what we can do.
Your families are the firstbattle line warriors.
Storm the enemy schemes in yourown strongholds with
(30:40):
unrelenting zeal.
Own strongholds withunrelenting zeal.
I don't even know what she wassaying, but it was something to
do with a chick, but anyways,all right, anchor in prayer.
Fortify your home with dailyprayer siege, sunrise assaults,
(31:15):
mealtime barrages and eveningwar councils.
Your meals are a moment whereyou're all sitting around.
Make them time where you helpeach other grow, where you talk
about your struggles, yourquestions.
Don't just let it be staring atyour phones around the table.
Connect, fight for one another.
(31:39):
Arm yourself with weekly verseforged in memory.
Plaster your walls with God'sword as battle standards,
putting up Christian art aroundyour home that's got Bible
verses.
Practice writing them out.
Those catechisms, those areimportant.
And get your mind thinkingabout things.
(32:10):
You should, instead of thinkingof things you're not.
Daily family worship.
This is that, but it's also,you know, most, I'd say 90% of
the music that's played in ourhouse is Christian.
Okay, we don't allow dark stuffin here.
We try to purge and we areconstantly.
If we find something wrong witha song, we're ditching it
(32:30):
whatever.
But we it doesn't have to behymns, it doesn't have to be
psalms.
When you can, I don't care whatall the naysayers are If you
got some great bopping Christiansong on that makes you love the
Lord more, good on you.
Good on you.
I don't care if it's Crowder,brandon Lake, hillsong, as long
(32:51):
as it's not heretical in whatthey're saying.
Which, as John MacArthur said,even a broken clock's right
twice.
And so there are some greatsongs out there.
Make God a part of your dailyday.
If you make him a part of yourday, you will continue to grow.
(33:13):
If you don't deliberatelypursue him, your faith will wane
and your walk with God you'llget distance and gap.
You'll walk away from himwithout even knowing.
We need to do more gospelfeasts, where we bring our
(33:34):
neighbors into our house and ourfriends and show them how
Christians live Notice, everyonearound the table is not
dropping F-bombs all the timehuh, you mean, I don't have to
use that as my word for and showthem what giving and
hospitality looks like, and Iguarantee you one of your kids
(33:59):
will do something wrong, andthen you'll get to show them
what godly discipline looks like.
That's how we do this.
Kids will do something wrong,and then you'll get to show them
what godly discipline lookslike.
Right, that's how we do this.
Again, stay active on yoursocial media accounts.
Battle false reports, blastscripture, be uplifting and then
(34:30):
, of course, support yourneighbors.
We'll fly we'll fly all the wayto Haiti to help strangers, but
we won't help our neighborsacross the street.
We gotta do much better at that.
Deuteronomy 6, 6-7 says thesewords that I command you today
(34:54):
shall be on your heart.
You shall teach them diligentlyto your children.
Now we've got to purify the camp.
We've got to root out the enemywithin.
We've talked about this in 1John and Peter, no 2 Peter, or,
(35:18):
as the deadliest foes lurkwithin our own ranks.
By God's sovereign judgment, wemust purge the camp with holy
fire.
We must call out the prosperitycharlatans, unmask and cast
down false teachers who peddlegrace for gold, the gender
affirming clergy.
I have a family member who Ilove dearly, who is in an LGBTQ
(35:39):
church, being misled, and heknows it's wrong, but he's got a
pastor telling him it's okay.
That pastor is going to pay,when his day comes, for leading
him astray.
Leading him astray, thegender-affirming clergy are
(36:04):
pestilence.
We must drive out the wolveswho drag lambs into cultural
perdition, woke preachers andsilent shepherds.
We're going to thunder againstthe pulpits that cower or
compromise and let them tremble.
And then, of course, the lattebar churches and the pew warmers
.
Shatter the complacency of thelukewarm congregations.
(36:27):
Tell them to awaken or be sweptaside.
1 Peter 4.17 says For the timehas come for judgment to begin
at the household of God.
So how do we do this?
We name them as Paul namedDemas, expose apostasy with
fearless clarity.
Defund them, cut the lifebloodfrom institutions that defy
(36:52):
God's word.
And this is really important.
Dollars are bullets.
Don't support Starbucks whenyou know they hate Christians
and they support everythingagainst you.
Don't support Target when theytry to corrupt your kids with
LGBTQ cline of loathing andtheir insanity.
Those are just two examples.
(37:15):
And they are paying becauseChristians are holding the line.
Line, storm dead churches withrevival or plant new bastions of
(37:37):
truth.
That's what we need to do Now.
One of the things that reallyupsets me about modern church or
Christianity today, on myReformed brother side, these are
people who I agree withtheologically 95%, 98.5%.
Heck, I even had a guy I wastalking to at the conference who
I agree with 99.9% and that0.1% difference was not enough
(38:03):
for him.
We must avoid friendly fire ora circular firing squad.
The purity tests are exhausting.
The chosen is bad.
Okay, how Right.
(38:31):
The chosen is artwork that makesme like Christ even more.
I don't know why, but everytime I watch that.
I don't enjoy every episode,but most times I watch that it
makes me think about Jesus.
It makes me love Jesus.
I'm spending time in Jesusinstead of John Wick.
How is that bad?
Oh, they had a gay cameraman ontheir set.
(38:55):
Okay, what if you had a gayplumber who did the plumbing for
your house?
Are you going to rip out yourplumbing?
It's just ridiculous.
It's absolutely ridiculous.
Look at it, realize what it is.
It's Christian inspired art.
It's not trying to replace theBible.
God has used that to bring morepeople to him than any single
(39:18):
pastor alive today.
So live today.
So, while we purge corruption,we march under one banner
Christ's banner.
We can fight over essentials.
Stand as granted on the gospel,sexual purity and sola
(39:40):
scriptura.
The Bible.
Never yield, but show charityon non-essentials.
Clash with grace over thetiming of the rapture or if
there is a rapture.
If you're amil, post-mil, youknow, pre-mil, whatever, if
you're a new earther, youngearther, old earther these
(40:04):
things are not salvation-basedand don't matter.
The standard should be when youare looking to have fellowship
with someone, do they believethe Bible and are they trying to
walk it out in their life?
If this is just a self-helpbook, they're not living on a
biblical worldview.
This is the guide for how youlive your life.
(40:25):
That's how you know theirmorality is secure and you can
be around them and you caninvest in them.
You can disagree on the otherothers too, because it's real
fun stuff to talk about, but itdoesn't matter about salvation.
It's not a salvation issue.
Worship style.
(40:45):
You want to sing songs that are400 years old?
Go for it.
You want to sing songs with noinstruments?
Go for it.
You want to sing songs to anorgan?
Go for it.
You want a rock band, as longas they're singing godly songs,
I don't care.
(41:10):
Ephesians 4.3 says be eager tomaintain the unity of the spirit
and the bond of peace.
A Calvinist and an Arminian canstorm an abortion clinic in
prayer as brothers-in-arms.
There is no problem there.
So the final charge March on invictory, soldiers of the cross.
(41:33):
The ground we've seized is buta foretaste of Christ's total
dominion.
The war horn blares advancerelentlessly until every shadow
flees before his blinding glory.
The enemy quakes, hell trembles, and victory is assured by
God's sovereign decree.
Stand boldly, don the fullarmor of God, the belt of truth,
(41:59):
cinch tight Sword of the spiritdrawn for blood.
Speak courageously, thunder thegospel in workplaces, school,
in the streets.
Let no ear escape his call.
Serve faithfully, charge intobattle by loving the defenseless
, fortifying the body andcrushing the foe.
(42:21):
Philippians 3.14 says I press ontowards the goal for the prize
of the upward call of the God inChrist Jesus.
So we're going to go ahead nowand do the Lord's Supper, holy
Communion.
1 Corinthians 11.28 says but aman must test himself, and so
(42:48):
doing, he is to eat of the breadand drink of the cup.
Before we partake, let usquietly bow before the King of
glory.
Let each man, woman and youngwarrior here search his or her
heart, confessing sin, layingdown burdens, preparing to eat
and drink in a manner worthy ofthe Lord.
Go ahead now.
(43:09):
Amen, Amen, amen, amen, amen,amen, amen, amen, amen, amen,
amen, amen, amen, amen, amen,amen, amen, amen, amen, amen,
(43:42):
amen, amen, amen.
Amen.
Almighty God, sovereign, lord ofhosts, we approach your table
today not because we are worthy,but because Christ is worthy.
We come not trusting in our ownrighteousness, but clinging to
the righteousness of JesusChrist alone.
We remember his body broken,his blood poured out for the new
(44:03):
covenant.
We bow in humble gratitude.
We lift our hearts in reverentawe.
We remember his body broken,his blood poured out for the new
covenant.
We bow in humble gratitude.
We lift our hearts in reverentawe.
Sanctify this bread and thiscup and sanctify us, your people
, as we proclaim the death,resurrection and the coming
kingdom of our Lord Jesus.
We pray in his mighty andmatchless name Amen.
(44:24):
The Lord Jesus, in the night inwhich he was being betrayed,
took bread and when he had giventhanks, he broke it and said
this is my body, which is foryou.
Do this in remembrance of me.
Remember this symbolizes hisbody, pierced, beaten and
sacrificed for you.
Let us partake of the breadtogether to remember Christ's
body broken for us.
(44:45):
Go ahead and eat In the sameway.
He took the cup also aftersupper, saying this cup is the
new covenant in my blood.
Do this as often as you drinkit in remembrance of me,
(45:09):
remember.
This symbolizes his blood, theblood that purchased our
forgiveness and sealed theeverlasting covenant.
Let us partake of the cuptogether to remember Christ's
blood poured out for us.
Go ahead and drink, for asoften as you eat of this bread
(45:31):
and drink the cup, you proclaimthe death of the Lord until he
comes.
By this eating and drinking, wepublicly proclaim Christ has
died.
Christ has risen.
Christ will come again.
We are the soldiers in hiseverlasting kingdom.
Let's go ahead and bow ourheads.
Almighty King of kings, lord ofhosts, we bow before your
(45:54):
throne ablaze, with gratitudefor every stronghold shattered
and every victory won by yourirresistible might.
Set our hearts aflame, forgeour will as steel, empower us to
march united, unbreakable,unstoppable, until your kingdom
reigns over every inch of thisfallen earth.
(46:15):
In the victorious,all-conquering name of Jesus.
Amen, all right.
