Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael darry Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
On the Cross, our Savior said, Father, forgive.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Them, for they not know what they do. That man,
that young man, I forgive him.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Everywhere with water, call every braise, every praise.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
While believers are seated. If there's any in this room
and across the globe that would desire to receive Jesus
as our saviors, Charlie did as a young man and
now was in the presence of his Savior, I'm gonna
ask you to put action to your faith, and I'd
ask you to stand right now to receive the Lord.
(01:16):
Don't be a shamed stand Amen. Amen, Amen, every brave.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Waco.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
For those of us who knew Charlie, and even those
of you who may never have had the chance to
meet him in person, we all know and experience how
Charlie spoke with a calm courage, not asking what will
God do for me, but instead praying, God, use me
for your will.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Christ told us in the Gospel of John, I have
said these things to you that in me you may
have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but
a heart I have overcome the world.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
I want everybody all loved the world to say, it's.
Speaker 8 (02:10):
To a gong.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Told me. How to know.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Is do go.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
If it praise.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
If it praise is to a gong's been taken up.
Speaker 9 (02:27):
We were all created, every single one of us, before
the beginning of time, by the hands of the God
of the universe and all powerful God, who loved us
and created us for the purpose of living with him
in eternity.
Speaker 10 (02:39):
But then sin entered the world and separated us from
our creator. And so God took on the form of
a man and came down and lived among us, and
he suffered like men, and he died like a man.
But on the third day he rose unlike any mortal man.
And to prove any doubt or is wrong, he ate
with his disciples so they could see, and they touched
(03:01):
his wounds. He didn't rise as a ghost or as
a spirit, but his flesh. And then he rose to
the heaven. But he promised he would return.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
And he will.
Speaker 10 (03:10):
And when he returns, because he took on that death,
because he carried that cross, we were freed from the
sin that separated us from him.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And when he.
Speaker 10 (03:19):
Returns, there will be a new heaven and a new Earth,
and we will all be together and we are going
to have a great reunion there again with Charlie and
all the people we love.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yes, Yes, one moment, Charlie was doing what he loved,
arguing and debating on campus, fighting for the gospel.
Speaker 11 (03:51):
Truth in front of a.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Big crowd, and then he blinked. He blinked and saw
his savior in paradise.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I've got a message with Corey Morold and the Brace.
I went to Memorial, not Stratford. I said, same thing.
I'm not from Houston. He said, oh no, you didn't.
We were arch enemies. But they did have some ridiculously
good looking girls. I'll admit that. President Trump promising the
(04:39):
biggest medical announcement in history today. I suspect it relates
to autism and the relationship between quote unquote vaccines and autism.
Robert F. Kennedy, JUNR has been promising since late spring
(05:00):
that we should have something by September October, so the
timeline lines up. But first to talk about your commitment,
your personal commitment that you have made as a result
of this revival. I have heard from friends of mine
who are professionally, personally incredibly successful, have a great routine,
(05:25):
a great life. They've built wealth, they've built stature, respect,
talking about how this has humbled them and renewed their faith,
like hitting rock bottom as an addict and realizing you're
going to start a new program, a renewal, a renaissance,
a revival. Personally, Mike will start with you, sir, Hello, Michael.
Speaker 12 (05:52):
I'm fifty nine years old and grew up in a
time and when the world was much different as many
of us had. We've seen a lot of changes. But
when I was a little six year old boy, they
used to have in the Baptist churches where evangelists come
around and do revivals. And that morning a little old
aunt be looking Sunday school teacher led me to the
(06:16):
Lord and that night was revival, and they gave the
benediction and the invitation, and I ran down as a
little boy. It almost got killed by an ambulance, but
I ran down as a little boy, and I talked
to that evangelist and he said, Mike, why do you
want to come to Jesus? And my reply was, well,
(06:40):
you don't want me.
Speaker 11 (06:41):
To go to Hell?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And then I seems reasonable.
Speaker 12 (06:48):
Seems reasonable. Well, I've walked with the Lord fifty three
years and I've seen, like I said, lots of changes,
and there's never been a time in history where such
a blatant act of commitment to the Lord and to
his message and to his truth. And that's what we
(07:09):
saw on Charlie Kirk. And I believe that's why he
resonated with people. And there's been a polarity of people
getting darker and more confused and more lost and people
that are running to the light, and people like Charlie
Kirk represent that. And today on your show, Michael, I've
(07:30):
never planned on calling in, but this is worthwhile, brother,
and thank you for doing this, and I'll let somebody
else talk. Thanks for what you did today, Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
In an odd way, I am grateful for Jasmine Kroken.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
On the day of.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Charlie Kirk's was billed as a memorial, but it turned
out to be a revival that she smeared him in
such such awful things. I am grateful that fifty eight
Democrats voted against a simple resolution to condemn his assassination.
I am grateful for what AOC said and what others
(08:13):
have said. I am grateful for those teachers who are
saying awful things, whether they lose their job or not.
I am grateful for the people saying awful things because
they highlight the differences and they sharpen our focus seven one, three, nine, nine, nine,
one thousand year calls coming up. When you lose someone
(08:34):
close to you, especially someone young, it really gives you
this whole freedom because you realize nothing else matters, that
we live in a prison of our own making, that
all the worries about behaving properly or doing what you're
supposed to do, or all these things you just go
(08:55):
out the window because it'll all be gone soon enough anyway.
And JD. Vance has had through this a metamorphosis himself
where I think he has really awakened and been very
honest about it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Little little uncomfortable talking about my faith in public.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
As much as I loved the Lord and as much
as it was.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
An important part of my life, I have talked more
about Jesus Christ in the past two weeks than I
have my entire time in public life. And that is
an undeniable legacy of the great Charlie Kirk. You know,
(09:44):
he loved God, and because he loved God, he wanted
to understand God's creation and the men and women made
in his image.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
If Charlie, if jd Vance is feeling a renewed commitment.
We called it at our church, rededicating your life to
the Lord. It was like a recommitment of being saved.
(10:17):
It was that maybe if you hadn't backslid, you had
at least grown a little lackadaisical in your walk, and
it can be a very exciting thing. My wife and
I've moved homes many many times in our thirty six
years together, and I find that moving a home is
very invigorating because you've got to find a new grocery store.
(10:38):
You're getting to start over. This is renaissance means rebirth.
There is a sense of starting over. Starting a diet,
my wife always lasts because I blow it out on
a weekend before. I would start a diet on Monday,
and she'd say, well don't you just start today? Oh no, no, no,
I need to eat really really badly this weekend before
(11:01):
I do that. I do alcohol resets where I'll take
a month off and not drink at all, and the
weekend before I'll have some buddies over and we'll drink
more than we should, and she'll say, won't you just
start now?
Speaker 5 (11:14):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Because there is something about setting a time in a
date and knowing that I'm on a new program. If
you've ever decided you're going to run a marathon, you
start that program on Monday. Sometimes a formal this is
Petru in Home Fitness talks about this that sure, technically
you could lift on your own.
Speaker 13 (11:33):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
They do help, especially older folks, keep you from getting hurt.
That's there before getting strong. That's their number one responsibility
is to keep you from getting hurt and show you
how to begin to strengthen without endangering yourself. And they're
there with you along the way, especially with older people.
That's incredibly important. But having someone come into your home
(11:55):
is an accountability, setting a goal, writing it down. These
these are forms of accountability that when we have them,
they're very refreshing and exhilarating that you've started something new,
you're a new person, you have a new program, you
have a new job, and I think you have to
capitalize on that and you have to begin to bake
(12:17):
in those habits and that emotion to keep that level
of energy and drive, or we settle into the same
old habits. After all, I've seen a lot of people
who start a diet and all of a sudden, you know,
they love to tell you I can only eat this,
and I can't eat this, this and this, and it's
(12:37):
like having that structure gives them a goal to work toward.
And your own personal spiritual life can have that type
of renewed focus and come alive. And that's my hope
that the revival yesterday will accomplish. Let's go to Carol. Carol,
you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, s weet heart.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
Hey, yes, sir, thank you for taking my call. I'll
be real quick. I want you to know, well, we
heard about it. It was I was in my shop
doing hair for my grandchild and his girlfriend, and my
granddaughter who goes to Abilene Christian calls and if you
could have seen how she was and how they responded,
(13:25):
and I didn't even know this young man existed. It
broke my heart. And like the preacher said, this, this
was their nine eleven and I could see it in
their faces. They were devastated. And so that's what I
called to say.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You know, Carol, I want to speak to the fact
that you didn't know who this young man was. People
will sometimes I'm.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
A conservative, I don't understand why I didn't Well, I
didn't talk to me about it. That devastates me too,
that they felt that they couldn't talk to me about it.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
No, it's not that. It's that. First of all, we
live in a bountiful marketplace of ideas, and you know,
people will sometimes say to me, does it bother you
If somebody says I haven't heard of you, I haven't
listened to you, and I say no, that means that
(14:29):
there is a whole world out there that we still
have the opportunity to win over. There was a whole
world for Charlie Kirk to win over. You know, you
could look at it this way. They've had I think
ten thousand applications for new TPSU chapters on high schools
and college campuses around the country. Those are ten thousand
(14:50):
places that had not applied, ten thousand student groups that
had not applied. Charlie's death awakened an interest and awareness
of those sorts of things. There are so many things
yet to be discovered. If I thought I'd read every book,
seen every movie, heard every song, tasted everything visited everything.
(15:13):
It would make the world a small and boring place.
There is so much out there and we have to
go find it. It's nobody's spoon feeding it to us.
And that's a beautiful thing. That's a wonderful thing. It
should be exciting that there are Charlie because there's other
Charlie Kirks. You know, when when Rush died, people that's
the end of the world. It's not the end of
(15:33):
the world. There will be more people who step up,
just as Rush stepped up before him. Nine nine one thousand,
Linda Quinn, the rest of y'all get you in this moment.
There is a woman named Jamie Bell who has been
(15:58):
involved in issue like this tps TP USA Chapter for
Me at Stratford High School in combating the left's attempts
to pervert our children and frustrate their efforts to learn
(16:18):
and grow and develop, all while providing opportunities to explore
freedom and understanding and self growth and development. Her group
is called Moms for Liberty. Her name is Denise Bell.
She ran for city council. I don't know if she
(16:38):
want or not, but she's been out there and she's
one of the people, one of the do gooders on
our side, and thank God for people like this, because
it takes a lot of time to battle this little
Stratford issue. For instance, I see all the people who've
been involved, and those kids now know that there are
(17:02):
some people out there more than just their own parents.
There are some people in the community that cared enough
to go to bat for them, and that means something,
That really means something. You know, when you're in school,
you have a tendency to think, you know, you live
in this little box and there's just your parents. And
to know that people outside the school care about what's
(17:26):
going on in your life, even though they'll never know you,
that's meaningful. That's significant. And so to the Denise Bells
and moms for liberty types and all you mommies and daddies,
but it's frankly, it's mostly mommies that are out there
doing this. God bless you, God bless you for what
you do. So I put a post up on Facebook.
(17:49):
You can see it for yourself, some neat photos and
then we'll get to the calls. And it went like this.
When you ask a veteran did you serve? They immediately
know what this means. They served our nation our uniform.
Growing up, my family would refer to someone joining the
service veterans serve and we owe him a debt of
(18:10):
gratitude for it. At Camp Hope this weekend, young people
served our veterans. This is the message from David Malsby.
He sends me a message every day of somebody or
some organization who served the veterans the day before, and
this morning's message was from Camp Hope's executive director at
PTSD Foundation of America. Thank you for the members of YMSL,
(18:32):
which is Young Men's Service League, the Oaks that's I
guess that's the branch of YMSL the Oaks for building
a new jogging trail overlaying Serenity Park and the Ibarra
Gazebo on Saturday. Then they returned Sunday providing an installing
mulch all over Camp Hole. The grills at the park
have been cleaned, the gazebo next to the cross was
(18:53):
pressure washed, and the garden has been reclaimed as more property.
Speaker 11 (18:56):
What a day.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
God is good. That is the Young Men Service League
and they are YMSL dot org. Should you feel a
desire to write them a check, join or just send
them a nice thank you note. Folks will always say
I don't have any money like some of your rich friends.
I wish I could help. You can just take a moment,
(19:20):
send an email. Send an email to Mom's for Liberty, Hey,
thanks for being there. Send an email to YMSL Youngmenservice
League dot Org. Hey, thanks for doing that for our veterans.
Be surprised. Doesn't cost you anything to say thank you,
but it sure does give value to the recipient and
to the phone lines.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
We go.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Let's go to Linda, Europe, sweetheart, go.
Speaker 13 (19:44):
Ahead, Hello, Hello Michael. My name is Venda. I am
a god during conservetive Baptist, born again, blood wash grandmother,
and for many years I have been fighting for the children,
my husband and I. Who is that. My husband is
in heaven now and he still echoes. He's there with
(20:07):
Charlie and he's echoing, and it's echoing in my mind.
I have an exposure that I just need to speak
concerning the welfare of the warriors that are battling these
battles and the tactics of Satan to stop us. Twelve
(20:28):
years ago, I was grieving, I was nervous, I had
all these crazy symptoms, and I fell into the hands
Michael of like unscrupulous psychiatric center that's totally woke, that
counsels and teachers parents how to turn their children into
(20:56):
something ungodly. I was put on a medica. It was
a very dangerous medication. It numbed me, It did not
change anything, it did not help anything, and I became
addicted to it. I knew it was wrong, but I
(21:16):
did feel just a little bit better. And I battled,
just like Erica battling. It's a battle. We all have
different battles in this war for our children. When I
heard what happened with Charlie and I heard Erica speak,
I knew I had to act. I canceled my ext appointment.
(21:42):
I discarded the medication that was drugging me and numbing
me and killing me. And I called my doctor and
I'm in the hands of a credible, legitimate physician. I
am in the throes of withdrawal right now, and God
(22:04):
being my strength, I will get through it. Thank God
for what happened with Charlie. It woke me up to
the strength that's in Christ in me, the hope of
glory that I can stand against the walls of the
devil that seeks to destroy, praying grandmas that are fighting,
(22:28):
battling help for our baby.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Linda. Thank you for being willing to share your story.
I know it's not easy. I really do. Quinn, You're
on the Michael Berry Shaw go ahead, sweetheart.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Hi Michael, it's a very tough week. I williant my Jolly.
I've been watching Arlie like just if I can, like
on a podcast from eleven to one. I know who
Jolly is, but I've never personally never met him, and
(23:06):
I watched the whole thing take place into September the
tenth is Willie broke my heart and I'm still crying
about it. What I'm trying to say is what Charlie priest,
That's how I believe that hit me to the core,
that happened in September the tenth and talking about Erica,
(23:31):
his wife, she got bigger, harder than me because I
cannot forgive that evil. I just cannot.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
And it's just sad.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Hopefully just at Wake Up Live the Conservative.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I feel like I have to be ashamed of my butt.
He's not sagging or anything like that.
Speaker 12 (23:57):
Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
He's not great. I mean, I couldn't be a butt model,
but it's not a bad but a fellow named Robbie
Wood post son of the name Robbie Wood eighty nine
on tick Tack, working class young husband and father. He
posted a video. I wish you could see the video
(24:22):
because you can tell by the look of this fellow
he doesn't wear a suit. This is not something he's
ever done before. But his wife has bought him a
suit and they're going to church. The Charlie Kirk assassination
has affected their lives, and I hope his commitment will
stay true and he will become the father and husband
(24:43):
that he would hope to be.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
You know, I don't uh, I don't come from any
kind of money, and I've never owned a suit before.
My wife, she bought me this suit. Or innniversaries coming
up and we have a nice anniversary plan.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
You know.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
We make a little bit of money now, and I'm
proud to say that because that's certainly not where either
one of us comes from. And I feel good in
this suit, man, and I just want my wife to doe.
She made me feel good. It's a three hundred dollars suit.
(25:32):
I never had nothing like this before in my life,
and I tell you what. Okay, video flip here, So
I'm gonna lose some of you. I didn't know Charlie Kirk.
Never met that guy before in my life. And something
else that I've never done before in my life is
believing God. I'm gonna wear this suit to church. I'm
(25:56):
gonna go to church. I'm going to try to be
a better father, husband and leader from my family. Uh
they deserve that. I'm gonna try, y'all. Look at this suit.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
I look good, bro.
Speaker 7 (26:18):
My wife made me feel this way. Charlie's made me
feel this way.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
Message over.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Growing up, we would welcome new members they weren't members yet,
new visitors to go for a Storans Baptist church. And
I can remember looking down at the hands of some
of the men who would come in as visitors and
(26:52):
then have a wife and two three four kids, and
their hands be like mits, big strong hands, and you
could see where they had tried to get the oil
(27:13):
or grease out of their fingernails and off the where
it had stained their hands. And they would they would
dress up as well as they could, but it was
the only thing they had that counted as dress up.
Sometimes it was a T shirt and a pair of
jeans and their best pair of shoes, and I could
(27:36):
just remember, I can remember just feeling how that man
was so tormented that that here was his family, and
he knew they were growing up, and he knew his
wife deserved better. But he also knew he was struggling,
and he knew that he wanted to stop off at
(27:57):
the bar on the way home from a hard day
of work. And sometimes maybe he didn't make it home
that night, and he knew that he would be short
tempered on the week. I knew their lives, I knew
what kind of life they were living. But he was
trying so hard to find a way to find the
(28:19):
tools to build a better life, and Church represented for him.
I have never believed you need to go to church.
I think it starts on a personal basis between you
and God. To me, church has always been the icing
(28:39):
on top. Church is not something you need to go
to because you're supposed to because God said so, although
some people think that way. To me, church was a
place to go for fellowship with others and to study
and to read and fellowship and the enjoyment of it all.
(29:00):
To see these people coming in, they're looking, They're just
looking for some rock to hold on to so they
are not washed out to see again. I hope this
moment for that fella and for so many other people,
serves as that I really do. Let's go to Ken
(29:21):
and then Rick, Ken, You're up.
Speaker 11 (29:22):
Go ahead, Thank you. I've enjoyed the show so much.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
What I.
Speaker 11 (29:31):
See most of my personal life is footprints in the sand,
because I've just come back to Jesus in the last
two years. I spent fifty years out there, drinking and
doing everything wrong. I let my family go and all
(29:52):
of it, and it was through a death in the
family that drew me back to Jesus. And I'm so
thankful that I had that feeling of security ever since
(30:14):
I came back. The comments you made about the church
wherever two or more are gathered in his name is
a church.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
And I.
Speaker 11 (30:31):
Praise God every day because I've had miracles the last
two years in my life. He's put me in a
good job, and I'm in my upper seventies and I'm
still able to work. After three heart attacks i bypassed.
I've got arthritis in both these and I fought cancer
(30:53):
and it's all because of God that I'm still here,
and I praise Him daily from my reprieve and from
where the goodness that He's put back in my heart.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Can you said you fought cancer, who'll come out to winter?
Speaker 13 (31:10):
I did.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Amen. You're the call, You're the call week and it's
only Monday. Take a bow, brother, mm hm
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael darry Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
On the Cross, our Savior said, Father, forgive.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Them, for they not know what they do. That man,
that young man, I forgive him.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
Everywhere with water, call every braise, every praise.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
While believers are seated. If there's any in this room
and across the globe that would desire to receive Jesus
as our saviors, Charlie did as a young man and
now was in the presence of his Savior, I'm gonna
ask you to put action to your faith, and I'd
ask you to stand right now to receive the Lord.
(01:16):
Don't be a shamed stand Amen. Amen, Amen, every brave.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Waco.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
For those of us who knew Charlie, and even those
of you who may never have had the chance to
meet him in person, we all know and experience how
Charlie spoke with a calm courage, not asking what will
God do for me, but instead praying, God, use me
for your will.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Christ told us in the Gospel of John, I have
said these things to you that in me you may
have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but
a heart I have overcome the world.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
I want everybody all loved the world to say, it's.
Speaker 8 (02:10):
To a gong.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Told me. How to know.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Is do go.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
If it praise.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
If it praise is to a gong's been taken up.
Speaker 9 (02:27):
We were all created, every single one of us, before
the beginning of time, by the hands of the God
of the universe and all powerful God, who loved us
and created us for the purpose of living with him
in eternity.
Speaker 10 (02:39):
But then sin entered the world and separated us from
our creator. And so God took on the form of
a man and came down and lived among us, and
he suffered like men, and he died like a man.
But on the third day he rose unlike any mortal man.
And to prove any doubt or is wrong, he ate
with his disciples so they could see, and they touched
(03:01):
his wounds. He didn't rise as a ghost or as
a spirit, but his flesh. And then he rose to
the heaven. But he promised he would return.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
And he will.
Speaker 10 (03:10):
And when he returns, because he took on that death,
because he carried that cross, we were freed from the
sin that separated us from him.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And when he.
Speaker 10 (03:19):
Returns, there will be a new heaven and a new Earth,
and we will all be together and we are going
to have a great reunion there again with Charlie and
all the people we love.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Yes, Yes, one moment, Charlie was doing what he loved,
arguing and debating on campus, fighting for the gospel.
Speaker 11 (03:51):
Truth in front of a.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Big crowd, and then he blinked. He blinked and saw
his savior in paradise.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I've got a message with Corey Morold and the Brace.
I went to Memorial, not Stratford. I said, same thing.
I'm not from Houston. He said, oh no, you didn't.
We were arch enemies. But they did have some ridiculously
good looking girls. I'll admit that. President Trump promising the
(04:39):
biggest medical announcement in history today. I suspect it relates
to autism and the relationship between quote unquote vaccines and autism.
Robert F. Kennedy, JUNR has been promising since late spring
(05:00):
that we should have something by September October, so the
timeline lines up. But first to talk about your commitment,
your personal commitment that you have made as a result
of this revival. I have heard from friends of mine
who are professionally, personally incredibly successful, have a great routine,
(05:25):
a great life. They've built wealth, they've built stature, respect,
talking about how this has humbled them and renewed their faith,
like hitting rock bottom as an addict and realizing you're
going to start a new program, a renewal, a renaissance,
a revival. Personally, Mike will start with you, sir, Hello, Michael.
Speaker 12 (05:52):
I'm fifty nine years old and grew up in a
time and when the world was much different as many
of us had. We've seen a lot of changes. But
when I was a little six year old boy, they
used to have in the Baptist churches where evangelists come
around and do revivals. And that morning a little old
aunt be looking Sunday school teacher led me to the
(06:16):
Lord and that night was revival, and they gave the
benediction and the invitation, and I ran down as a
little boy. It almost got killed by an ambulance, but
I ran down as a little boy, and I talked
to that evangelist and he said, Mike, why do you
want to come to Jesus? And my reply was, well,
(06:40):
you don't want me.
Speaker 11 (06:41):
To go to Hell?
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And then I seems reasonable.
Speaker 12 (06:48):
Seems reasonable. Well, I've walked with the Lord fifty three
years and I've seen, like I said, lots of changes,
and there's never been a time in history where such
a blatant act of commitment to the Lord and to
his message and to his truth. And that's what we
(07:09):
saw on Charlie Kirk. And I believe that's why he
resonated with people. And there's been a polarity of people
getting darker and more confused and more lost and people
that are running to the light, and people like Charlie
Kirk represent that. And today on your show, Michael, I've
(07:30):
never planned on calling in, but this is worthwhile, brother,
and thank you for doing this, and I'll let somebody
else talk. Thanks for what you did today, Yes, sir.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
In an odd way, I am grateful for Jasmine Kroken.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
On the day of.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Charlie Kirk's was billed as a memorial, but it turned
out to be a revival that she smeared him in
such such awful things. I am grateful that fifty eight
Democrats voted against a simple resolution to condemn his assassination.
I am grateful for what AOC said and what others
(08:13):
have said. I am grateful for those teachers who are
saying awful things, whether they lose their job or not.
I am grateful for the people saying awful things because
they highlight the differences and they sharpen our focus seven one, three, nine, nine, nine,
one thousand year calls coming up. When you lose someone
(08:34):
close to you, especially someone young, it really gives you
this whole freedom because you realize nothing else matters, that
we live in a prison of our own making, that
all the worries about behaving properly or doing what you're
supposed to do, or all these things you just go
(08:55):
out the window because it'll all be gone soon enough anyway.
And JD. Vance has had through this a metamorphosis himself
where I think he has really awakened and been very
honest about it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Little little uncomfortable talking about my faith in public.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
As much as I loved the Lord and as much
as it was.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
An important part of my life, I have talked more
about Jesus Christ in the past two weeks than I
have my entire time in public life. And that is
an undeniable legacy of the great Charlie Kirk. You know,
(09:44):
he loved God, and because he loved God, he wanted
to understand God's creation and the men and women made
in his image.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
If Charlie, if jd Vance is feeling a renewed commitment.
We called it at our church, rededicating your life to
the Lord. It was like a recommitment of being saved.
(10:17):
It was that maybe if you hadn't backslid, you had
at least grown a little lackadaisical in your walk, and
it can be a very exciting thing. My wife and
I've moved homes many many times in our thirty six
years together, and I find that moving a home is
very invigorating because you've got to find a new grocery store.
(10:38):
You're getting to start over. This is renaissance means rebirth.
There is a sense of starting over. Starting a diet,
my wife always lasts because I blow it out on
a weekend before. I would start a diet on Monday,
and she'd say, well don't you just start today? Oh no, no, no,
I need to eat really really badly this weekend before
(11:01):
I do that. I do alcohol resets where I'll take
a month off and not drink at all, and the
weekend before I'll have some buddies over and we'll drink
more than we should, and she'll say, won't you just
start now?
Speaker 5 (11:14):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Because there is something about setting a time in a
date and knowing that I'm on a new program. If
you've ever decided you're going to run a marathon, you
start that program on Monday. Sometimes a formal this is
Petru in Home Fitness talks about this that sure, technically
you could lift on your own.
Speaker 13 (11:33):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
They do help, especially older folks, keep you from getting hurt.
That's there before getting strong. That's their number one responsibility
is to keep you from getting hurt and show you
how to begin to strengthen without endangering yourself. And they're
there with you along the way, especially with older people.
That's incredibly important. But having someone come into your home
(11:55):
is an accountability, setting a goal, writing it down. These
these are forms of accountability that when we have them,
they're very refreshing and exhilarating that you've started something new,
you're a new person, you have a new program, you
have a new job, and I think you have to
capitalize on that and you have to begin to bake
(12:17):
in those habits and that emotion to keep that level
of energy and drive, or we settle into the same
old habits. After all, I've seen a lot of people
who start a diet and all of a sudden, you know,
they love to tell you I can only eat this,
and I can't eat this, this and this, and it's
(12:37):
like having that structure gives them a goal to work toward.
And your own personal spiritual life can have that type
of renewed focus and come alive. And that's my hope
that the revival yesterday will accomplish. Let's go to Carol. Carol,
you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, s weet heart.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
Hey, yes, sir, thank you for taking my call. I'll
be real quick. I want you to know, well, we
heard about it. It was I was in my shop
doing hair for my grandchild and his girlfriend, and my
granddaughter who goes to Abilene Christian calls and if you
could have seen how she was and how they responded,
(13:25):
and I didn't even know this young man existed. It
broke my heart. And like the preacher said, this, this
was their nine eleven and I could see it in
their faces. They were devastated. And so that's what I
called to say.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You know, Carol, I want to speak to the fact
that you didn't know who this young man was. People
will sometimes I'm.
Speaker 8 (13:56):
A conservative, I don't understand why I didn't Well, I
didn't talk to me about it. That devastates me too,
that they felt that they couldn't talk to me about it.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
No, it's not that. It's that. First of all, we
live in a bountiful marketplace of ideas, and you know,
people will sometimes say to me, does it bother you
If somebody says I haven't heard of you, I haven't
listened to you, and I say no, that means that
(14:29):
there is a whole world out there that we still
have the opportunity to win over. There was a whole
world for Charlie Kirk to win over. You know, you
could look at it this way. They've had I think
ten thousand applications for new TPSU chapters on high schools
and college campuses around the country. Those are ten thousand
(14:50):
places that had not applied, ten thousand student groups that
had not applied. Charlie's death awakened an interest and awareness
of those sorts of things. There are so many things
yet to be discovered. If I thought I'd read every book,
seen every movie, heard every song, tasted everything visited everything.
(15:13):
It would make the world a small and boring place.
There is so much out there and we have to
go find it. It's nobody's spoon feeding it to us.
And that's a beautiful thing. That's a wonderful thing. It
should be exciting that there are Charlie because there's other
Charlie Kirks. You know, when when Rush died, people that's
the end of the world. It's not the end of
(15:33):
the world. There will be more people who step up,
just as Rush stepped up before him. Nine nine one thousand,
Linda Quinn, the rest of y'all get you in this moment.
There is a woman named Jamie Bell who has been
(15:58):
involved in issue like this tps TP USA Chapter for
Me at Stratford High School in combating the left's attempts
to pervert our children and frustrate their efforts to learn
(16:18):
and grow and develop, all while providing opportunities to explore
freedom and understanding and self growth and development. Her group
is called Moms for Liberty. Her name is Denise Bell.
She ran for city council. I don't know if she
(16:38):
want or not, but she's been out there and she's
one of the people, one of the do gooders on
our side, and thank God for people like this, because
it takes a lot of time to battle this little
Stratford issue. For instance, I see all the people who've
been involved, and those kids now know that there are
(17:02):
some people out there more than just their own parents.
There are some people in the community that cared enough
to go to bat for them, and that means something,
That really means something. You know, when you're in school,
you have a tendency to think, you know, you live
in this little box and there's just your parents. And
to know that people outside the school care about what's
(17:26):
going on in your life, even though they'll never know you,
that's meaningful. That's significant. And so to the Denise Bells
and moms for liberty types and all you mommies and daddies,
but it's frankly, it's mostly mommies that are out there
doing this. God bless you, God bless you for what
you do. So I put a post up on Facebook.
(17:49):
You can see it for yourself, some neat photos and
then we'll get to the calls. And it went like this.
When you ask a veteran did you serve? They immediately
know what this means. They served our nation our uniform.
Growing up, my family would refer to someone joining the
service veterans serve and we owe him a debt of
(18:10):
gratitude for it. At Camp Hope this weekend, young people
served our veterans. This is the message from David Malsby.
He sends me a message every day of somebody or
some organization who served the veterans the day before, and
this morning's message was from Camp Hope's executive director at
PTSD Foundation of America. Thank you for the members of YMSL,
(18:32):
which is Young Men's Service League, the Oaks that's I
guess that's the branch of YMSL the Oaks for building
a new jogging trail overlaying Serenity Park and the Ibarra
Gazebo on Saturday. Then they returned Sunday providing an installing
mulch all over Camp Hole. The grills at the park
have been cleaned, the gazebo next to the cross was
(18:53):
pressure washed, and the garden has been reclaimed as more property.
Speaker 11 (18:56):
What a day.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
God is good. That is the Young Men Service League
and they are YMSL dot org. Should you feel a
desire to write them a check, join or just send
them a nice thank you note. Folks will always say
I don't have any money like some of your rich friends.
I wish I could help. You can just take a moment,
(19:20):
send an email. Send an email to Mom's for Liberty, Hey,
thanks for being there. Send an email to YMSL Youngmenservice
League dot Org. Hey, thanks for doing that for our veterans.
Be surprised. Doesn't cost you anything to say thank you,
but it sure does give value to the recipient and
to the phone lines.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
We go.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Let's go to Linda, Europe, sweetheart, go.
Speaker 13 (19:44):
Ahead, Hello, Hello Michael. My name is Venda. I am
a god during conservetive Baptist, born again, blood wash grandmother,
and for many years I have been fighting for the children,
my husband and I. Who is that. My husband is
in heaven now and he still echoes. He's there with
(20:07):
Charlie and he's echoing, and it's echoing in my mind.
I have an exposure that I just need to speak
concerning the welfare of the warriors that are battling these
battles and the tactics of Satan to stop us. Twelve
(20:28):
years ago, I was grieving, I was nervous, I had
all these crazy symptoms, and I fell into the hands
Michael of like unscrupulous psychiatric center that's totally woke, that
counsels and teachers parents how to turn their children into
(20:56):
something ungodly. I was put on a medica. It was
a very dangerous medication. It numbed me, It did not
change anything, it did not help anything, and I became
addicted to it. I knew it was wrong, but I
(21:16):
did feel just a little bit better. And I battled,
just like Erica battling. It's a battle. We all have
different battles in this war for our children. When I
heard what happened with Charlie and I heard Erica speak,
I knew I had to act. I canceled my ext appointment.
(21:42):
I discarded the medication that was drugging me and numbing
me and killing me. And I called my doctor and
I'm in the hands of a credible, legitimate physician. I
am in the throes of withdrawal right now, and God
(22:04):
being my strength, I will get through it. Thank God
for what happened with Charlie. It woke me up to
the strength that's in Christ in me, the hope of
glory that I can stand against the walls of the
devil that seeks to destroy, praying grandmas that are fighting,
(22:28):
battling help for our baby.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Linda. Thank you for being willing to share your story.
I know it's not easy. I really do. Quinn, You're
on the Michael Berry Shaw go ahead, sweetheart.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Hi Michael, it's a very tough week. I williant my Jolly.
I've been watching Arlie like just if I can, like
on a podcast from eleven to one. I know who
Jolly is, but I've never personally never met him, and
(23:06):
I watched the whole thing take place into September the
tenth is Willie broke my heart and I'm still crying
about it. What I'm trying to say is what Charlie priest,
That's how I believe that hit me to the core,
that happened in September the tenth and talking about Erica,
(23:31):
his wife, she got bigger, harder than me because I
cannot forgive that evil. I just cannot.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
And it's just sad.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Hopefully just at Wake Up Live the Conservative.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I feel like I have to be ashamed of my butt.
He's not sagging or anything like that.
Speaker 12 (23:57):
Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
He's not great. I mean, I couldn't be a butt model,
but it's not a bad but a fellow named Robbie
Wood post son of the name Robbie Wood eighty nine
on tick Tack, working class young husband and father. He
posted a video. I wish you could see the video
(24:22):
because you can tell by the look of this fellow
he doesn't wear a suit. This is not something he's
ever done before. But his wife has bought him a
suit and they're going to church. The Charlie Kirk assassination
has affected their lives, and I hope his commitment will
stay true and he will become the father and husband
(24:43):
that he would hope to be.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
You know, I don't uh, I don't come from any
kind of money, and I've never owned a suit before.
My wife, she bought me this suit. Or innniversaries coming
up and we have a nice anniversary plan.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
You know.
Speaker 7 (25:07):
We make a little bit of money now, and I'm
proud to say that because that's certainly not where either
one of us comes from. And I feel good in
this suit, man, and I just want my wife to doe.
She made me feel good. It's a three hundred dollars suit.
(25:32):
I never had nothing like this before in my life,
and I tell you what. Okay, video flip here, So
I'm gonna lose some of you. I didn't know Charlie Kirk.
Never met that guy before in my life. And something
else that I've never done before in my life is
believing God. I'm gonna wear this suit to church. I'm
(25:56):
gonna go to church. I'm going to try to be
a better father, husband and leader from my family. Uh
they deserve that. I'm gonna try, y'all. Look at this suit.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
I look good, bro.
Speaker 7 (26:18):
My wife made me feel this way. Charlie's made me
feel this way.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
Message over.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Growing up, we would welcome new members they weren't members yet,
new visitors to go for a Storans Baptist church. And
I can remember looking down at the hands of some
of the men who would come in as visitors and
(26:52):
then have a wife and two three four kids, and
their hands be like mits, big strong hands, and you
could see where they had tried to get the oil
(27:13):
or grease out of their fingernails and off the where
it had stained their hands. And they would they would
dress up as well as they could, but it was
the only thing they had that counted as dress up.
Sometimes it was a T shirt and a pair of
jeans and their best pair of shoes, and I could
(27:36):
just remember, I can remember just feeling how that man
was so tormented that that here was his family, and
he knew they were growing up, and he knew his
wife deserved better. But he also knew he was struggling,
and he knew that he wanted to stop off at
(27:57):
the bar on the way home from a hard day
of work. And sometimes maybe he didn't make it home
that night, and he knew that he would be short
tempered on the week. I knew their lives, I knew
what kind of life they were living. But he was
trying so hard to find a way to find the
(28:19):
tools to build a better life, and Church represented for him.
I have never believed you need to go to church.
I think it starts on a personal basis between you
and God. To me, church has always been the icing
(28:39):
on top. Church is not something you need to go
to because you're supposed to because God said so, although
some people think that way. To me, church was a
place to go for fellowship with others and to study
and to read and fellowship and the enjoyment of it all.
(29:00):
To see these people coming in, they're looking, They're just
looking for some rock to hold on to so they
are not washed out to see again. I hope this
moment for that fella and for so many other people,
serves as that I really do. Let's go to Ken
(29:21):
and then Rick, Ken, You're up.
Speaker 11 (29:22):
Go ahead, Thank you. I've enjoyed the show so much.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
What I.
Speaker 11 (29:31):
See most of my personal life is footprints in the sand,
because I've just come back to Jesus in the last
two years. I spent fifty years out there, drinking and
doing everything wrong. I let my family go and all
(29:52):
of it, and it was through a death in the
family that drew me back to Jesus. And I'm so
thankful that I had that feeling of security ever since
(30:14):
I came back. The comments you made about the church
wherever two or more are gathered in his name is
a church.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
And I.
Speaker 11 (30:31):
Praise God every day because I've had miracles the last
two years in my life. He's put me in a
good job, and I'm in my upper seventies and I'm
still able to work. After three heart attacks i bypassed.
I've got arthritis in both these and I fought cancer
(30:53):
and it's all because of God that I'm still here,
and I praise Him daily from my reprieve and from
where the goodness that He's put back in my heart.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Can you said you fought cancer, who'll come out to winter?
Speaker 13 (31:10):
I did.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Amen. You're the call, You're the call week and it's
only Monday. Take a bow, brother, mm hm
