Speaker 2 (01:56):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
I get exciting because we loved the Lord and and
I always got to give Bruce and TJ an opportunity
to talk about last week's podcast.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
We had.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
We had doctor Babybaugh on last week, and we also
had my brother Marshall own Doctor Marshall I Own, and
we were we were dressing some of the issues that
could help somebody that's maybe even thinking about suicide. Or
got some kids that are struggling, and so so I'm
gonna go and open it up before we bring our

(02:27):
all over the world. Y'all gotta know that we got

there's nobody here before we said, that's who we wote.
That's who we wote, and that's who we got. So
so Bruce, let TJ go first, man, and then you
follow up man, and then we'll we'll bring our guests on.

(02:47):
So go ahead and teach that you can. You can
just reminiance back home last week, how we were really blessed.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Okay, thanks very much, told our first of all, I
would like to uh take gifting order to guard and
how thankful we are to be blessed to see another holiday.
We did celebrate over the over this during this weekend,
this Fourth of July holiday, but last week when we

(03:13):
uh we we didn't realize it until last week that
last month, the month of June was a mental awareness
month and our guest last week was a doctor Marshall
and our own doctor Harry Everett and those two brothers.
They gave us some insight on how and the best

(03:34):
way to deal with mental uh deal with mental health,
whether you're a world of it or not. There are
some certain signs that that may pop up every nine then,
and it may be some signs that you may see
in other people or you may recognize those signs in
yourself as well. So they both were both in accord

(03:56):
with saying the same thing. Practically, the testimonies were basically
the same, with the being mental awareness one. They wanted
us to try to recognize the signs that might sometimes
show up and sometime they won't. They also wanted us
to know that it's not it's not anything to be

(04:18):
ashamed of if you might think you have some mental
situation that you might want to go to a doctor
and see about. As a matter of fact, they suggested
that that's why they were on this program on the
podcast last week, was to make us a word that, look,
it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's something that can
be cured. You can't be healed. And they also wanted

(04:43):
us to know that. Let me see, both of them
were basically saying the same thing, Like the signs, you
will be able to see and it will not hurt
to go get help. You you you're you're familiar with
physical illnesses, and you'll go get help immediately. And if

(05:03):
you see some mental signs and says that you might
need some help, you might not be so quickly to
go and get some help. But it said don't be afraid,
do not be both said do not be afraid, and
they even quote it some scriptures in the Bible. The
word itself says, don't be afraid, says the Lord, get help.

(05:26):
Excuse me. Let's say, the soul can hurt. The soul
can hurt and the people that's which you can be
hurting at the same time, and you're not aware of it.
So let the Holy Spirit. Let the Holy Spirit do
it when it's work, when it's time for him to

(05:49):
do his work. And the thing that we can do
better and more than anything else is to love everyone.
Love each one of us. Leave love, love, Love the
person that you might think might have a little issue.
Uh love everyone. Learn what what love is, and learn

(06:09):
to love the Lord first. God is. Put God first
in control. Make make him look at the control of
every little situation that you have and don't be afraid
to talk to God. Uh. Doctor Harry and doctor Marshall
said the same thing, talk to God, Let's talk to

(06:33):
the Lord one day at a time. Love, let's see
le lean on Jesus and not on anyone else or
anything or anybody. Jesus's number, make Jesus number one in
your relationship. And let's see, let's see each other, let's

(06:55):
make let's make each other aware that what that you
are not alone and falling falling? Uh uh, this under
the under the influence of mental health. And then we
had told lot to close this out with the poem,
and the poem was, uh, he guides me and and

(07:17):
and he his his poem was really saying, when difficult
situations come around, let him let the Lord be your guide.
He guides me, he guides me, and he guides you.
And basically that was that was that was practically it
was a it was a big shout out to Mental

(07:39):
Awareness Month last week. And uh again, I want to
thank doctor Harry and doctor Marshall for the information that
they shared with us.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Okay, Bruce, sure, yeah, I appreciate you, TJ. Praise along
for you. And I'm always excited to be on the
podcast because I'm uplifting in our heavenly father. So and
we know that our heavenly author is Will and we
know that this podcast is needed to spread the word

(08:10):
that if you don't know Jesus turning life over to him. Uh,
your doctor Marshall Wassenbacher, Yeah, Uh, thank him for being
on the podcast last week as a tej in the
TNNEDEE counselor the counsels the teenagers and adults. And the
first thing I want to say about him is that

(08:32):
likely he said that he consults with God while counseling others.
Praise the author. That, yeah, that he consults our heavenly authors.
He's not just leaning on his own understanding. He talks
about playing at the time that he's consulting or counseling
someone so that he knows what the appropriate thing to

(08:55):
say or how to respond appropriately.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
He talks about that you share that you know, if
you know someone you know that are struggling, you know,
you just have to look for warning sizes or changes
and in their and their behavior. And if you are
in a situation like that with someone, be patient with them,

(09:20):
no validate what they're saying. Without disagreeing. Don't just dismiss
what they're saying. Have compassion. And then the key was
was having compassion. And one thing that they're really resonated
with me is when he said, let them know there's

(09:43):
always a way out no matter what you're going through,
don't don't give up. There's always a way out. And
and it begins, of course with Jesus Christ.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
In your life.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Uh wrote the scripture I go for one thirteen the
states for I the Lord your God will hold your
right hand, saying to you you're not I will help you.
And and in this world we know you may be
tossed to and fro, but just hold onto Jesus hands

(10:20):
and he won't let you go. And brother Harry said
things are similar, of course to what the doctor Masbacher said, that.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
God loves you and has a unique.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Plan and purpose for you. God loves you, and that
you're unique and no matter who you are, God loves you,
and then he has a plan for your life. And
and like that he said, when he's Uh the counseling
someone that that he listens, okay, in the same as

(10:57):
doctor marsh Broke listen and validates what the person is
saying and and and he also talks about not accepting
the diagnostic labels for people we know society. That's what
they they love to do, say that you're this and

(11:18):
that you're that. No, we're all children of God. And
I like that. He he said that that that we
are our image barriers and that we are created an image.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
And likeness of God.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Praise the Lord for that.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
And he talks about, uh, focus on.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Renewing your mind and and and how do you do that?
We're positive faults, the positive thoughts and and in the
last hair, I want to stress that brother Harris said,
don't give up you matter, don't care for you matter

(11:59):
by It's similar to what uh doctor marsh There's always
a way out. And perfectly to them being on the podcast.
They help someone that's struggling pray the hard and looking
forward to the podcast to.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah, I'll tell you Bruce and TJ makes me look
so for it. Yeah that when they come on the podcast, man,
they I tell you they really really uh help us
go fishing for souls. And that's the reason why you know,

(12:37):
when you when you when you just let God take control,
you know, That's why I tell people that this podcast
does not belonged to me, you know, because Bruce gets
a chance to express himself all the way through whatever
God wants and see in his heart, no interruption. TJ
gets a chance to express himself all the way through
until God finished with it, no interruption. That's the way

(13:00):
it's supposed to be because God can speak to offer.
And I'm just really I'm blessed to have uh my
brother brutes on the podcast and teach on the podcast
because when they speak, I know it's gonna be God
speaking to them. So guess what I do. I just
sit back and listen. It's back and listen and just
say thank you, so you know, thank you brother Bruce,

(13:20):
and thank you PJ for man for y'all the way
y'all break down the previous guests that come on, y'all
do y'all do an excellent, excellent y'all man, and if
any this is the podcast the way y'all, the way
y'all summarize it together. Man, it's a it's a blessing.
I'm just I'm just exciting. I'm excited, you know, before
I before I bring on my guests, you know, I'm

(13:41):
back to my back, got the baby Ball story. You know,
so the fact of baby story, y'all can't believe it
because this is the thing that's happened. Bruce really missed
doctor baby Ball. Y'all don't understand what has happened since
Bruce beat doctor baby Ball on this new health of
whine walk or walk run, Bruce, it's been messing up

(14:02):
Doctor baby Boy. So doctor Baseball, like I told y'all
last week, doctor baby Ball got some chickens, and uh,
he got his chickens in the backyard, and and what
was happening. He was chasing the tickets, chasing the chickens
around life. Remember of Colinsfield Drive when we had chickens
and stuff. And so doctor baby Boy been chasing chickens
and all of a sudden, the homeowners association said, uh,

(14:22):
doctor doctor baby Ball, you got to get the ticket
and the tickets gotta gold. So chickens Doctor baby got
rid of the ticket. I don't know if he I
don't know if he plucked them and cooked them, I
don't know, but the chickens are done. But this is
how he's in training now, and I think he make
it through since chill, because this what he's training, Doctor
baby ball is going in the neighborhoods the people that's
got dogs and the fence. He's running alongside the fence

(14:45):
with the dog. What the dog chasing? He want those

reason why I think he's got to bruce this this
next year, coach, doctor baby ball came up to to

have no fish and the dog wasn't changed up, and
Doctor the baby boy looks realized the dogs changed up

know Bruce and tz I always want to know man.
I told him me kids, why well, I'm gonna tell
you how I met my brother, Harold Franklin. I got
him at Krogers. I was, I was, I was getting

(15:58):
the wallmelon, you know, and I'm I'm a little country

it was just a real blessing and we just continued.
I said, man, I gotta get you on my podcast

(16:46):
helped and I'm not gonna even start so so my brother,
brother Harold Franklin, man, thank you, thank you so so much.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Man.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
And you know I told you, I told you when
you when you were coming on.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Man.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Whatever, but God puts on your heart to talk about them,
because I know you're a man of God and you
love the Lord. But you've got to tell a story
about the lady that you the health and and.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
That you go, you go, you know what, you know,
you know what, my brother limit, lem me tell all
y'all something man.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
And and in life, in Jesus Christ, Lord Savior, give
me you life. You go through so much and a
lot of people don't understand. I was listening at the
brother tell my men of problems. Ah, and this is
something I want this governess.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Men.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
A problems starts from slavery. A lot of us don't
know that because a lot of us don't really research it.
N A problem starts from slavery, from my grandmother being
a slave on down. We never broke that curse. So
I broke that curse from my children not to spread

(18:00):
to my children because my ancestors was messed up with
non a problems for what they went through so I
broke that curse. So everybody in life had to break
that curse for their children to move on to better likeness.
If you don't break that curse, is hindered your kids.

(18:22):
And a lot of people don't understand that it comes
right back and handles your kids.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Say.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
It's very important that you keep God and the large
Savior and faith in your heart to keep you going.
Without that, you can't do nothing to help no one.
You got to first help yourself. That makes sense of powerful.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Powerful. I know blutes and teachers were grievous because that's
what we that's what we talked about in this podcast. Man,
is that is that inner man, you know, making sure
that you got that relationship with out on the inside,
because if he's on the inside, he gonna show on outside.
But you got a fern hit him on the inside.
So so Bruce got him on the inside. The teacher
has got him inside. My shoes side and got him

(19:11):
on the side.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
Man.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
And so that's why we got you here, because you
got him on inside.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Then the shadow stitches, then the shaddy stretch chub. When
I was a little boy, I'm from New Water. It's
not an let boy. My grandmother told me. My grandmother
was one hundred and four. My great grandmother was one
hundred and four, and we had a live village that

(19:42):
my grandmother she didn't meet the eight kitten, and she
ain't turkey, and she ate a lot of fish. The
girl a lot of butter beans, oakries, carrots and all that.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
She told me.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
One day she said, pick pick them greens and take
it to each and one of them. And I say
to myself, I say, why pick the greens and get
everybody some food? And ain't nobody come here and help

(20:20):
up to growing? She say, And I want you to listen.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Make me good.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
She say, you respect me. I'm the leader. When I leave,
I talk to my father in heaven. He tells me
what to do, not you tell me what to do.
Go take them greens. So I went and took them
greens to everybody around it, and then lived in it

(20:48):
everybody around there. And then she say did everybody get it?
And I say yes, ma'am. She say, now this is
something I want you to always remember. You give, you receive,
you don't give, you know received. Two days later the
man killed the cow and bring meat around everybody to say,

(21:11):
this man to say this, that's why it's so very
important to pray, to give, to help people. We are
people that don't want to help people. Man, they got
some people. I said, it's very very selfish. I see

(21:32):
the homeless. People walk over the homeless, won't feed them.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
You know. For to give, for to.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Receive, you have to give, a lot of people don't
want to give, but they want to receive. So in life,
how could you believe in God when you don't want
to give. How could you have faith when you don't
want to give? How could you have trust when you

(21:59):
don't want to give? You got to give, And a
lot of people don't want to give. So to say,
is ain't a sistant looking up and don't look down.
You can take a walk, You can take a horse
for the river. This can't they him drink, but you
can need him there. So that's the way SoC idea
is now. People dad being stubborn. People don't want to

(22:21):
help people, People don't expect the people, People don't know
how to talk to people. People, everybody got an attitude.
And right now we need prayers bad, man, We really
need prayers bad in the whole United States. God help
us home. They're supposed to be in God we trust.
See I'm still saying this God we trust that had
a lot of people don't trust in it. For the world,

(22:44):
it's chaos. So we really need prayer house, man, We
really need prayers.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
You know, Brother Franklin, going right, Man, I tell you
that's why I love them God. What you just said
leaves me right into the question that I want to
ask you when we You know, because I titled this,
God didn't uh you and you talked about give and
to give you can you can receive? I want you
to show about how you gave to this lady that

(23:17):
was on the side of the road.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
The thing, the thing about that is, man, you know
when you when you look back, see when you when
you look back, how you It starts from your foundation
where you come from. You know, I'm gonna put it

(23:44):
to you like this. I'm gonna put it to you
like this because I'm gonna share this with you.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Me and my wife.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
Okay, we had a bus. We had a bus road
of people that we moved to Buffaloo to Louisiana. It
was it was a job, but job. My wife is
already in Okay. We took people from the nursing home
and took them and had him to Bugloo for Louisiana,

(24:13):
not knowing the stone gonna come false Burgloosa to Louisiana.
They send them people falseter stone that are sending them
people away from the stone. When we got to our destination,
that old people was, it was so many old people sick.
They gave them a school. So my wife was working

(24:35):
at the school. Me and my eight kids was at
the hotel. So I come and help my wife with
the people. Then I had to help people. Some people
died in our arms.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
You know.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
All we can do is just cover them up, you know.
But people gave us food, and all I can say, love,
We got all the food and ain't got no way
to cook it. I said, farther than heaven, what do
you want me to do? And then seven came to

(25:11):
me and say, get the toolbox. I said, Lord, I'm
gona cook on a toolbox. He said, be humble, get
the toolbox, open the raw, pull the cold in there,
and cook off the top of it.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Hmm.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
I said, okay, my father and help. So I got
the toolbox, pulled it out, my truck took the bottom.
I put the cop talk off in it and I
need it and it started getting hot. I said, two
hundred and twenty people man on a toolbox.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
So what I'm what I'm telling you is all you
got to do is just be humble and don't be
quick to answer him control you, not you control him,
and you're game. But a lot of us don't want
to listen. You gotta listen. God guard marker, garden marks,

(26:12):
you mark the other brother in the video station, mark
the other brother, the sister she marked, God mark all
these people for to do the work. And people be like,
why you got great hair? That's a mark. You don't
get great hair from but we don't get great hair
from work. You get great hair because God mark you.
You got wisdom and knowledge and courage and understanding. And

(26:36):
a lot of us ain't gonna get that because of what.
We don't want to be humble. We all want to
do things all way, end up getting killed in the
ship because of what on a fast pace there throwing down.
You got to slow down and understand. You can't get
nothing doing fast. Ain't up two things and jail you're
the dead nights. You gotta take life slow, not fast.

(27:05):
So he ent present. They part for all of us
to understand and talk to the young youth, because that's
who really really need us to young people. The young
people really need us. But how can we help them
if they don't want help? All you can do is
pray for him and keep moving the ones that won't
help you help. Tell what you think about that, my brother,

(27:33):
Well you know.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
I'm already I'm already knowing that my brother Bruce and
t J is fired up man, because you you you're
doing what you're talking about, what we want to talk about.
You talk about you give to receive, You're given, You're
gonna receive, You're given God how to give. But you

that I that you're having to say. I'm I'm writing
the poet down to where you and you in told
I met out of Kroger Supermarket and Jesus gave you.
He and you started talking about how Jesus had given
you a new life. You said that your ancestors had

(29:31):
this curse for a curse. So God was God was
in your life and got this curse off of you.
God first, God is first in your life. That's what
you're continuously saying, and that's what we are continuously saying.
He said, I was, I was I I was, I was,

(29:53):
my grandmother. My grandmother shared with me. She said things,

Speaker 3 (40:42):
You know, t J.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
That's no power what you're saying. In And I know
I know Booth got it, Booth got his checks. Who's
gonna man, I think I think he's thinking, you want
to go back to one way again?

Speaker 3 (40:53):
Go ahead, Yo, Well, I don't know, so I got
a lot of things that's still running around in my head,
to be honest with you. But the first time I
really I want to start with is the how you
how you met uh mister Franklin. You said in the
in the Kroger store and that looking for a watermelon.

(41:15):
I mean, yeah, and part of that you mentioned chicken.
I mean, it's a lot of stereotyping that's going on
there to be be I know, you were looking for
something else me other than.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
But when it put it together like that, it just yeah,
just like a lot of stereotyping, that what's going on?
But anyway, yeah, and the and and and the other
comment regarding the the problems that are passed down from generation,
I know he started with that. Tracy Green actually was
was on the podcast he was March of the last year,

(41:52):
and she talked about the inner generational psychological trauma, uh,
that that we go through as a result of the
the issues that we've had with the color of our skin,
and and talked about of course, I mean, the way
to overcomebat is to have the relationship with our having
their father, which of course that's what this podcast is

(42:16):
is about.

Speaker 4 (42:17):
It.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
I appreciate the things that mister.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
Franklin has stated. Number one being prior, that we know
how significant and how important prior is and and that
we be humbled, that that we humble. Uh that self
pride wi uh pride cons are forward destruction. Bible talks
about that so and God can't use us God God

(42:42):
a lot of you know, a puffed up appearance and
know which mister Franklin had pretty much uh touched on
and uh like he talked about his relationship with his
with his grandfather and establishing the uh uh and instilling
in him to have that personal relationship with their heaven

(43:06):
and Fator right and and what I'm hearing from his
life experiences, you know, God is well. God set him
in the right direction so to live out his purpose
for his life. And and I know that's what kind
of brought you to to together the cause of that

(43:30):
and to have them on the podcast and to to
help help others. And you know, we talked about the
social issues that we have, but we know those are real.
Those those issues are real, and especially with our youth,
which yeah, he touched on that also. And we we
have to be an example, as he alluded to the

(43:51):
four of you, the youth, And we don't have to
be you know, up in a pool pick. I mean,
we just every day people stayed a mouthful. You just
say a mouthful. You just say the mouthful of my brother. Yes,
you just say a mouthful of my brother right live
down there. You got tears coming in my eyes. You

(44:13):
just say a mouthful of your praise, praise alaw for that.
It's just people that we come in contact with, just
being ourselves. Christ is living within us. You know, it's
going to country, it's going to.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
We will have to go around then. O.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
I'm all about clients are trying to say, you need
to turn your life.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Over to Christ. The way that we're living, the way
that you're going to see that and say it's something different,
there's something different about this person.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
It wasn't it.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
You're gonna change lives the Lord, thank you Jesus. And
that's what it's about, changing people's lives. And and it's
and and as you was stating, I mean, his life
has changed, and now he's influencing others to turn her.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Life over the injured Jesus Christ. We know it's it's
not easy.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
We don't through struggles.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
But your struggle, which you will have develop your spiritual muscle.
And Harry touched on that last week.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
About hope, but hope, you will lose your hope.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
No matter what you're going through, you will lose your
hope if you have that relationship with our heavenly father.
Once again, your strouggles will help develop her spiritual muscle.

Speaker 3 (57:05):
Let me tell yourselfing and this is something I want
I want you to understand. I want all the other
brothers to understand. I don't want all the sisters to understand.
When you are humble, yeah, yeah, all right, When you
are humble, you be quiet and you listen. Yeah, you

(57:27):
let God speak to you and God tell you what
to do and what not to do. Yeah, that's what
you call being obedience.

Speaker 2 (57:44):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (57:46):
A lot of us don't understand obedience, follow listen, follow rules.
A lot of us don't understand that man. And that's
why so many of us dying in the streets now
because you don't want and you don't want to listen
and be humble. Yeah, it's the key to successful. It

(58:08):
is alas humble. You got to you gotta crawl before
you start walking. You can't walk and don't crawl. Dont
word like that. You build a house from the ground up.
You don't build a house in the top to the bottom.

(58:28):
But the young people don't understand that. And I've been
trying to get them to understand.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
One thing.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
You got faith you can make it. You got hope
I can make it. You got trust you can make it.
But it all boil down into my father in heaven.
Do under others that you want others to do under you?

Speaker 2 (58:55):
Yesh, Yeah, that's why.

Speaker 3 (58:59):
Then that's why they're on the money is the ruler
all evil, But oh money, this is our powerful God
is oh money? What do you put and God? We
worked trust, but we got the trusting him. No other wait,
we gota. So it's very important to know who you

(59:20):
is and what you put your fuck you.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
Know, and that and what you're saying is so true.
And and so I'm gonna shot, you know, because God
is putting on my heart to shore. And then if
you jump in where I make a mistake, then you can.
But but I was talking. I was talking to my
brother when we was in when we was in Kroger,
and we just we just we just got a chance
to fellowship right down and Kroger up and down Aisle.
We just we just were fellowshipping right and uh. And

(59:44):
he started with me about the time that uh, there
was a car that was stopped on the road side
of the road and and it was a lady and
now with with some kids and and so uh he
saw him and passed down and then turned back around
and went to help him, and and uh so the
little girl was uh was talking to him and and said,
we know our car won't start, and and when you
helped you, when you helpless, and and she said he

(01:00:07):
he said yes, and then she said.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
Uh, well I know you will.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
And then found out that the little grandmama uh couldn't talk,
and uh so he he checked it out, and I
remember the story told me that the battery, uh was
the cable was loose and the battery wouldn't work. He
went it went in bottom of bottom and battery and
came back and put it in and and cranked it
up and and they were trying to paint. And you know, no,

(01:00:31):
I can't take I can't take it, you know all
I'm not. I don't I don't want no money. I'm
doing it. And then he said, drove a little lot
and drove down and had to stop somewhere and hold.
The spirit told him to go look in the trash can.
And you know, and that's this brother being obedient. You
know how I look you you you you're gonna stop him.
You going and running through the trash can. So he
goes and he looked at it. He going through the

(01:00:52):
trash and then they said go dig a little deeper,
and so he digs a little deeper and he finds
the wells fargo a little powers and got a hundred
fifty dollars. Now that's why I t this podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
God did it? God?

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
You know what, you know what my brothers. Let me
tell you something, man. Uh, I lost my I lost min,
I lost my my mom, and I lost my dad. Okay, Uh,
me and my wife. We took up my parents. My
daddy had all the timers, he passed away. Then I
had my mama. Had a boys. Out of eight boys

(01:07:45):
and number four of us living well. It ain't four
of us living night, only three of us slipping. But uh,
my oldest brother, we were very very close, man, and
he got hooked up in them drugs and uh and
I had to I had to get away from him
because he started me food with the drugs. So on
the end, I wasn't got help.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:08:06):
Or I left went to New York. You had an
old friend of mine's, man of priest. I stayed there
almost a year, almost two years. You don't work around
at the catlic place and stuff, man. And when I
came back, I can't. I left Baton Ruins and came
straight to New Orleans. I wanted to come back to
New Orleans. We were full of drugs. And on the end,

(01:08:27):
I want to try to listen to me what I'm
about to tell your own the end. Uh, when my
brother got locked up, I told him, I said, man,
I'm getting locked up because the daddy's died. You won't
be able to go to the funeral. So he got
locked up. He couldn't go to the funeral. So when
my mama passed away, Uh, my mama told me to
call him. So I call him. I told him, I said, Mama,

(01:08:49):
I want to see you. Man, mama ain't doing good.
He said, well, I can't come. I said, if you
get here, I paid for your ticket back. So he
didn't come. And I went on and took you in
my mother, me and my wife. And on the end,
I gave my brother my daddy house. I gave my
other fact in my grandmother the house. And my oldest

(01:09:09):
brother told me, said, man, I can't make it. And
I said, what you mean you can't make it? He said, man,
I can't make it. I said, June, the public taxes
ain't number twenty dollars, The night bill ain't number bout ten,
about about fifteen dollars, the gas bill down, and I
be number by ten dollars, the water bill out and

(01:09:30):
I be number bout six dollars. What do you mean
you can't make it? He told me he couldn't make it.
And three weeks later they called me and told me
he was dead. The the sade this man, the say
is and I want you try to listen an me good.

(01:09:53):
Some people die from a broken heart. My brother, they're
living with my dad sixty nine years, no wife, no
churin nothing. He just get his head dad, lay down,
get up, my mama, wash his clothes. When my mom
and daddy died, he couldn't make it, so he greeted

(01:10:17):
hisself to death. So what I'm saying to you year
is man, life is what you make out of it.
You must keep going with you. An if I'd have
known that he had a broken heart, I would have
dealt with my brother different. But I didn't know his

(01:10:39):
heart was broken, you know, because I used to stay
on him by the rug that ain't gonna do no
food to drug and stay on him. But uh now
I look at like different.

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:10:51):
Some people they're stands strong. Some people can't. So that's
why it's very important how you talk to a person.
It's very important how you treat a person because you
don't know what that person going through, you know, So

(01:11:11):
when you get ready to approach a person, always ask
God to give you to spend and give you the
courage and speak wisdom and the knowledge and understand it.
You know, not to hurt that person feeling, because you're
gonna hurt that person feeling not meaning it, you know,
but you don't know what's going through their minds. So

(01:11:34):
it's very important that you you when you speak to
a person, be very, very humless because a lot of people,
a lot of people are going through things and we
don't know nothing about it, and you want to you
find out who you did there you die, I just
stopped doing you know what I'm standing saying, But it
still is kind of our hands is in God hands.

(01:11:56):
So all we can do is pray to get the
wisdom and nowage to unders saying people because a lot
of people you don't understand. You don't understand, man, you
don't understand anytime. Anytime, a dog you can get up
in the morning and you believe me or not, you

(01:12:16):
can get up in the morning and get up and
a dog or come in front of you and balk ruu.
And you're gonna look at that dog and say, what
are you barking for? That dog telling you good morning?
You know we're gonna say or he just barking, No,
he ain't need he came and face you'll say good morning.
In other words, you look at that animal. Shoot. See,

(01:12:38):
you don't know how, you don't know how things gonna
come at you. So you gotta be prepared. You really
don't have to be prepared. But when you be prepared,
be prepared in spiritual, little spiritual, in anything. So when
you speak, you speak spiritual, well you can bless others

(01:13:00):
to be blessed. All right, that's good.

Speaker 1 (01:13:06):
I want yeah, take a minute TJ to thank my
brother for coming on in booth. Don't take a minute
to thank my brother for coming on. Go ahead, TJ.

Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
All right, Hey, yes, brother Franklin, God bless you man.

and told this audience. And I'm going to try and

the things if you know they're wrong. Do the things
that you know that are right. Do the things that
you think will help someone. Do the things that you
think will help someone to be a better person. Do
the things, do the things. Put your trust in God.

have to be all in with Jesus Christ. And if
you're a Jesus. I mean, as he said, then everything
else is gonna follow in the place. You're gonna love
your as yourself. I know he's stressing stress said a lot.
But the heir is stressed, said a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:15:34):
