00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,600
Hello, folks, this is Princess, 
you are listening to the 

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,600
millennial Mustard Seed, pod 
casts. 

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,000
Thanks for listening. 
Don't forget to share with your 

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,600
friends. 
I stopped wearing a very tough 

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,100
spot. 
I think that what we're doing 

6
00:00:15,100 --> 00:00:19,300
right now is a great benefit and
virtue because it's an 

7
00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:23,800
end-around between this whole 
corrupt informational system 

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,100
media system. 
We claim to believe in a God who

9
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:30,400
spoke the universe into 
existence and literally raised 

10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,000
himself from the dead. 
And yet, we're not going to 

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,500
believe that anything else 
exists in the spirit realm, even

12
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:41,200
though his word tells us that 
they do, Their bodies weren't 

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,700
permitted to go to sleep, like 
humans, do. 

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,400
And there were permitted to go 
to heaven. 

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,600
So they wander the Earth. 
You know, I've seen the eyes 

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,000
turned black to unknown tongues 
being spoken. 

17
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:59,100
These Giants were love way up 
with all the upgrades, the young

18
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:02,800
man, which I have been the trees
away for one of these 12/4 to 

19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,400
come walking down the back and 
they would jump on Dragon back. 

20
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:17,800
Then people start to get 
weapons, I start to get armor, 

21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,700
they start to build cities. 
They saw the fortify their 

22
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:23,600
cities now, God looks down, and 
there's violence everywhere. 

23
00:01:24,300 --> 00:01:28,100
The battle this war that we are 
at, is not against each other. 

24
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,700
It's against these 
principalities in these rulers 

25
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:32,400
in, these are cons in high 
places. 

26
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,300
It's really worthwhile to read 
the Bible yourself. 

27
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:40,200
Here is one of the primary 
drivers of mind control because 

28
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,200
we have to take every thought 
captive and resist fear. 

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,100
You're going to have a testimony
that is a Justice case against 

30
00:01:52,100 --> 00:02:08,600
the kingdom of darkness. 
Welcome back to the millennial 

31
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,400
Mustard Seed, pod cast, thank 
you for being here. 

32
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,200
I have an excellent episode of 
store for you, guys. 

33
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,200
I have Tim Moon here. 
The author of tomato Fields, 

34
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,600
Tim's, a cryptozoologist with a 
passion for writing fiction 

35
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:26,600
mystery. 
He likes scary, monsters history

36
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,800
and philosophy on this. 
Awesome conversation with Tim, 

37
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,600
we A little bit about his book. 
His testimony, everything that 

38
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,300
God has helped him overcome 
throughout this journey this 

39
00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:40,700
process and where he's at in 
life. 

40
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:42,400
It's really, it's such a 
beautiful story. 

41
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,700
You guys in Tim's own words. 
He sent me a message and just 

42
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:50,000
Amanda was so much flow and 
connection in our conversation. 

43
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,700
He was really happy to have been
here on the podcast just as 

44
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:57,300
happy as I was to have him. 
He's working on a part 2, a 

45
00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:00,800
sequel to Tomato fields which 
has excellent Aunt reviews at 

46
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,900
this point in time is very well 
received among the community of 

47
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:09,000
people who are willing to think 
outside of the box a little bit 

48
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,000
and just take a different 
approach to what some of these 

49
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,100
Cryptids might be. 
Now in Tim's own words. 

50
00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:17,900
He said to me when we got off 
air and this is what was really 

51
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:22,900
solid for me. 
He said, I felt so good about 

52
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:25,200
getting certain things off my 
chest. 

53
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:28,500
There's parts of his testimony 
and about the power of God and 

54
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:33,000
how Tim emptied himself. 
We just dive into his story and 

55
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:38,100
he was expressing to me, how 
rewarding, and how much better 

56
00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:40,100
of fell for him to get 
everything off his chest. 

57
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:44,100
And to put it out there for me, 
hearing that it was so powerful 

58
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:48,000
because it just reminds me of 
the ripple effect, you know, 

59
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:52,900
having a podcast, capturing our 
own journey and then taking the 

60
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:56,100
time to hear other people out 
and see what they went through, 

61
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:59,500
see how God has worked in their 
life, it really is edifying as 

62
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:03,400
encouraging.

It's an honor to have you here. 
Well, thank you. 

87
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,600
It's an honor to be here. 
Here. 

88
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:33,900
Absolutely. 
So it's your first time here 

89
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:37,200
with us and I'm really excited 
for you to tell us your 

90
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,000
testimony and then we'll dive 
into a little bit of your book 

91
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,400
here. 
So do you want to start off just

92
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,700
kind of jumping into telling us 
how you became the 10 Moon, you 

93
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:49,500
are today. 
I don't know, I don't really 

94
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:57,400
know how to answer that. 
I have gone through quite a bit 

95
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,200
in my life. 
I yeah. 

96
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,600
Are you talking more from my 
beliefs in Bigfoot and or you 

97
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:11,300
talking more from my maybe 
religious beliefs or so, I mean,

98
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:13,900
I have heard you talk a little 
bit about, you know, kind of 

99
00:06:13,907 --> 00:06:16,600
like growing up in a haunted 
house and like, just some 

100
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,000
different things that you've 
dealt with. 

101
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:19,900
Yeah. 
Do you want to kind of start 

102
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:22,800
off? 
Just telling us what you believe

103
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:25,900
and what led you into writing 
the book and then a couple 

104
00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:29,400
experiences that have happened 
over the course of your life. 

105
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:32,900
Oh yeah, easy enough. 
I've changed a lot over the 

106
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:35,600
years. 
I was what you would call born 

107
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,800
again in college. 
I'm long past college. 

108
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:44,300
And I went through several 
experiences and I'm consider 

109
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:46,900
myself kind of a Christian 
Mystic. 

110
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:52,000
Now, a lot of the stuff just 
didn't fit didn't work for me, 

111
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000
and I have come to believe that 
we are in God. 

112
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,600
We are in Christ. it's not 
somewhere else or somewhere else

113
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:07,500
we're all in him and all things 
are held together in him and I 

114
00:07:07,700 --> 00:07:12,900
believe that that involves the 
entire known universe and 

115
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:19,900
unknown universe and it's it's 
Because I believe that and I 

116
00:07:19,907 --> 00:07:25,800
know that all things are in 
Christ and all things, he uses 

117
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:33,500
all a lot in the Bible and that 
he is more powerful than any 

118
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:37,300
other force that exists and that
he's holding us together. 

119
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,300
And I believe Redemption was for
the entire universe, not just 

120
00:07:42,700 --> 00:07:46,600
for earth-centered. 
Group of people on the Earth. 

121
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:50,500
And so I see it in a much more 
comprehensive. 

122
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:55,800
Big picture, mystical way in a 
Oneness in God in Christ, and 

123
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:58,500
that we can have that all the 
time. 

124
00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:03,500
And not when I hear the 
reference getting close to God, 

125
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:06,100
I always think, well, how can 
you not be close to God? 

126
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:08,500
He's everywhere and you're 
somewhere, you have to be next 

127
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:13,800
to him coin is that they're not 
consciously close to God because

128
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,300
in their mind there, Focusing, 
their security and attention on 

129
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:21,900
things that are, they're not 
separating them from God, 

130
00:08:21,900 --> 00:08:24,300
they're just not allowing them 
to be conscious of God, they're 

131
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:28,300
not allowing them to focus on 
God, but when you, but that 

132
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:29,900
doesn't mean you're not close to
God. 

133
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:32,100
You're always close to God. 
He's everywhere. 

134
00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:36,100
And it's just so I see it more. 
As we just need to be 

135
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:38,400
consciously aware of his 
presence. 

136
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:42,799
And typically, we're not, when 
we're focusing on other things 

137
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:47,700
to get security or Because we're
afraid or because we're angry 

138
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:53,300
and those things then draw our 
attention away from God and 

139
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:56,600
focus in on something else. 
But we're not separated from 

140
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,300
God. 
We're just our focus is 

141
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:05,100
separated from God. 
I believe, is most Christianity 

142
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:10,000
in the world is not Protestant. 
It's Catholic or Orthodox and of

143
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,000
those I think Orthodox is 
probably closer to the truth at 

144
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,600
least they Tour. 
The mystery of the faith a 

145
00:09:16,608 --> 00:09:20,900
little bit better than than 
Catholicism does not that I'm 

146
00:09:21,700 --> 00:09:23,300
have anything against 
Catholicism. 

147
00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:27,500
Some of the finest people, I 
know, are Catholic, and some of 

148
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:30,500
my best friends are Protestant, 
but I'm probably a little more 

149
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:36,100
leaning toward the Orthodox 
without accepting everything 

150
00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:38,000
carte blanche because I don't do
that anymore. 

151
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:40,600
Absolutely. 
Okay. 

152
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,600
I believe that Christ is a 
mystery that the Trinity is 

153
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,600
Mystery. 
If you think you can explain the

154
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,300
Trinity. 
Yeah, good luck. 

155
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,400
Okay. 
And there's three and there's a 

156
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,100
there. 
There is a connection there that

157
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:57,900
the East and the West, the East 
focuses on do a non Duality 

158
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:04,200
because the belief that all 
reality is is is connected and 

159
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,500
it's and it's in it and it has 
its source in some kind of 

160
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:11,900
universal. 
So divine power and the West 

161
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:18,700
breaks, everything up into this.
And that and here and there and 

162
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,800
divides, everything logically 
and we Define everything. 

163
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,000
And when you define something, 
you not only Amplify a little 

164
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,700
bit, you also limited. 
So I believe the to have to come

165
00:10:30,700 --> 00:10:35,500
together for people to have a 
spirituality and proper 

166
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:38,400
understanding of God and it's 
they don't they're not designed 

167
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,300
to be fighting and only 
religions fight over things. 

168
00:10:42,300 --> 00:10:46,500
And it's typically ego-driven 
people are created in the image 

169
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:49,400
of God. 
Everybody is, these are precious

170
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,800
people. 
They're created in His image, 

171
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,400
they are his Divine image and We
need to love each other and 

172
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,700
that's not. 
That means everybody just needs 

173
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:01,600
to love each other and get over 
their power struggles. 

174
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,100
That's kind of where I'm coming 
from. 

175
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:09,500
I'm not one religion anymore, so
and I just try to do my best to 

176
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:12,400
love my neighbor. 
I mean, I'm getting hit with the

177
00:11:12,408 --> 00:11:15,100
scripture where you're talking 
about, where could we go? 

178
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:17,700
That God's not. 
Okay, I think I want to say it's

179
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:20,300
David and doesn't he say, where 
can I go? 

180
00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:22,400
And not find your presence? 
He's like I can go all the way 

181
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,800
down to sheol or down to the 
underworld Are you are people 

182
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,400
need to hear this? 
I'm so happy. 

183
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,200
We're having this conversation 
when people say, oh, I'm growing

184
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,300
closer with God. 
It's like no, you may be 

185
00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:35,800
adjusting your focus. 
You may be trying to. 

186
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Yeah, we have to be willing to 
accept what God has already 

187
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,500
done. 
He's the beginning the end, he's

188
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:44,500
the right now. 
He's the future, right? 

189
00:11:44,700 --> 00:11:47,100
And it's like a lot of the times
we like to take these little 

190
00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:51,100
Snippets and give some focus and
then say Oh God is good or he's 

191
00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:54,200
doing this or that or 
acknowledge him, but then 90% of

192
00:11:54,208 --> 00:11:57,500
the time. 
Just you know, my God, my belly.

193
00:11:57,500 --> 00:11:59,600
What I want, right. 
And we see that a lot of them in

194
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,900
the culture as it appears, he 
goes and we decorate them and we

195
00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:08,700
put on it home for people and it
isn't, it is not putting our 

196
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:12,100
focus on God, and when you, when
they say you're separated from 

197
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:17,600
God, you're not separated from 
God, use your focus is separated

198
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,600
from God because you are 
alienated and hostile in mind 

199
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,200
and You could be a born-again 
Christian and be alienated and 

200
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:32,200
hostile, because your focus is 
not on your need and dependency 

201
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,100
on him. 
It is on you. 

202
00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:36,500
I didn't mean to. 
I don't mean to preach course, 

203
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:41,600
in a new side of Tim here, I'm 
going to kind of walk into from 

204
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,100
here. 
Let's talk a little bit about 

205
00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:45,100
your book. 
Well, this about the book, you 

206
00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:48,300
wrote tomato Fields, what? 
Well, I've been so I've been 

207
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:54,500
studying this in fascinated by 
this since I was a kid. 

208
00:12:55,100 --> 00:13:00,900
And I saw the movie, The Legend 
of Boggy Creek and That's a 

209
00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:03,000
classic now, but it's almost a 
cult film. 

210
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,600
But it's really, it was a 
low-budget movie that that just 

211
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,700
captivated my understanding of 
Bigfoot, or my awareness. 

212
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,900
And I, for some reason just 
always felt there probably is 

213
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:17,300
truth to this. 
This thing probably does exist 

214
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,700
and it just was in the back of 
my mind for much of my life. 

215
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:25,200
But in the last 20 years, I 
started really looking Into it 

216
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,400
and really doing the research 
more as a historian because I'm 

217
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,100
a historian by trade and listen 
to thousands of stories. 

218
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:35,800
And just I can't get enough list
of the stories on it. 

219
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:42,800
And I started to think that 
maybe, if you could use fiction 

220
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,900
properly that you could have a 
bigger impact on drawing people 

221
00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:53,600
to this mystery, then you can 
with facts because you can use 

222
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,200
nonfiction and All the facts and
all the details. 

223
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,700
And I think people just turn 
that off sometimes but they're 

224
00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:06,900
motivated by stories. 
Stories cell and facts tell and 

225
00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:08,700
but stories go down a little 
deeper. 

226
00:14:08,700 --> 00:14:12,300
If you can develop the right 
characters and you can you can 

227
00:14:12,300 --> 00:14:17,000
have the right amount of of 
drama and tension. 

228
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,100
You can maybe draw people into 
characters who they might 

229
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:24,800
believe even though they may not
have believed the book by By 

230
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:30,900
biologists to took took, you 
know pictures and had some hair 

231
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:33,600
samples, people just low that 
off. 

232
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,600
I found in my opinion, what I 
saw people were just blowing 

233
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,800
that up. 
And so I was just hoping that 

234
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,600
maybe someone could write a 
fiction that would Captivate 

235
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,300
people in catch them and draw 
them in. 

236
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:47,000
So, that's what I'm trying to 
do. 

237
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,000
I can't guarantee you that I've 
done it but I'm trying. 

238
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:55,000
I think that someone is you. 
I hope so. 

239
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,200
I like to write a couple more. 
I think it's really interesting 

240
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,900
that, you know, taking the 
approach to trying to get people

241
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,900
emotionally. 
Yeah. 

242
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:05,800
Interested in the topic. 
Yeah. 

243
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,700
I mean I had Brian good dowel on
a few years ago and just we 

244
00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:13,200
talked about the power of 
Storytelling. 

245
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,200
Yes. 
Right. 

246
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,700
And we see how Hollywood will 
use these half-truths to 

247
00:15:17,700 --> 00:15:23,200
entertain people and it's always
from It's not a fully truthful 

248
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,500
perspective but yet they'll get 
people familiar with these 

249
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:30,700
ideas, almost to systematically 
desensitize them to what the 

250
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:33,400
truth is. 
But when we take the approach 

251
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,300
and get people emotionally 
involved and interested in these

252
00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:41,700
topics, very smart move, I must 
say very smart. 

253
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,000
Well, I'm hoping it'll work. 
I think that stories are 

254
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,300
important and we really made to 
tell stories. 

255
00:15:47,300 --> 00:15:50,100
Most history has been passed on 
through telling stories. 

256
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:53,800
Now, I just want to undo this 
mention real quick as we are 

257
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,200
laughing about this. 
A few minutes ago off are your a

258
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,200
crypto Zoo. 
Novelist. 

259
00:16:01,300 --> 00:16:05,700
I made that up after listening 
to someone else funny played on 

260
00:16:05,700 --> 00:16:10,400
Words With cryptozoology. 
So I thought, well, maybe so. 

261
00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:14,000
I did that. 
I think it's kind of cool, but 

262
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,000
it sounds like you absolutely 
epic. 

263
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,700
Yeah. 
It's definitely an attention. 

264
00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:20,700
Grabber, you look at the word 
and it's like, you think? 

265
00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:22,400
Something that you may have seen
before. 

266
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,900
So you get it, read it and try 
to pronounce it and you're like,

267
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:28,000
whoa, s, so really works Rosie 
off that first. 

268
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,800
I have it on Instagram and 
Twitter and so you're a history 

269
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,300
buff. 
Yeah, now I teach history. 

270
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:40,700
So I do Administration to and so
various types of jobs I do 

271
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:43,700
you're on the west coast Austin,
Texas. 

272
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,000
Okay, in Austin Texas, I grew up
in Washington and my brother 

273
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,700
lives in Washington and that's 
where he had his encounter. 

274
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,800
He still lived in that house 
house is their house in the 

275
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,700
book. 
Your childhood home was where 

276
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,900
what state was that in Seattle 
Magnolia area? 

277
00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:05,099
Now, I've heard you talk a 
little bit about some strange 

278
00:17:05,099 --> 00:17:08,099
things that happened. 
Growing up, fill me in the 

279
00:17:08,099 --> 00:17:11,300
audience, and we were little 
kids from the time, I was in 

280
00:17:11,308 --> 00:17:15,500
about fourth grade till I was in
about seventh grade. 

281
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,200
We lived in a house, really nice
house. 

282
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,700
We loved it. 
Great. 

283
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,700
Memories. 
But we we think there was a 

284
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:28,500
ghost in that house and 
different things would happen. 

285
00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:31,800
Joe, my brother actually seen 
it. 

286
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,100
Once walking, following my dad 
into the bathroom. 

287
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:39,600
He could see it in close, but it
was also see through it looked 

288
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,200
like a little boy, was the image
of a little boy, but it was 

289
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,000
see-through. 
And then he followed my dad into

290
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,100
the bathroom. 
And he so Joe ran in the 

291
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:50,700
bathroom to see who this was 
following his dad and there. 

292
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:55,000
Was nothing there. 
And there were many other 

293
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,500
experiences when my grandma 
experienced something scratching

294
00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:02,700
under her bed and she got really
scared eventually and left the 

295
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:07,900
house, got a taxi and went to a 
hotel and there was a time when 

296
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,100
mantelpiece lived It Off The 
Mantel of the fireplace and 

297
00:18:13,100 --> 00:18:16,500
lifted out into the ways and 
then drop to the ground and 

298
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:20,400
shattered. 
And then there was some time, I 

299
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,900
heard it doing things, and 
there's other times, other 

300
00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:26,900
people heard it doing things. 
And my mom, seen enough things, 

301
00:18:27,100 --> 00:18:31,000
they got out a Ouija board. 
And before I say this, I just 

302
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,500
want you to know. 
I do not endorse that, but I was

303
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:36,200
only like a and I knew nothing 
about Ouija boards. 

304
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,700
Now, I do not endorse those. 
I would avoid them. 

305
00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:44,000
If, if I was you, but she did it
and she found out the, the 

306
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,900
initials that she thought of 
this, his spirit. 

307
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,500
I remember watching. 
It was pretty strange. 

308
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:57,000
And and then she apparently went
downtown and checked it out, and

309
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,100
found out that a little boy had 
died in the house. 

310
00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:04,300
We just came to realize that it 
was their kind of part of the 

311
00:19:04,308 --> 00:19:09,200
family and we just accepted it. 
Took it for granted and if we 

312
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,200
heard something kind of knew 
what it was but it never was 

313
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:17,600
malevolent aside from arguably 
scaring my grandma. 

314
00:19:18,700 --> 00:19:22,200
And oh wow, and dropping that 
thing off The Mantel. 

315
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:27,700
But aside from that, I remember 
no instances of any kind of 

316
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,200
stick something to be afraid of.
We'll just to reiterate what you

317
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,500
were saying. 
And my audience, obviously knows

318
00:19:35,500 --> 00:19:41,200
this but highly recommend, never
playing with the Ouija board 

319
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,300
trouble, and you can't, yeah, 
you can't mess with those 

320
00:19:47,300 --> 00:19:51,600
things. 
You can invite trouble, since 

321
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,300
you can't go looking for. 
If it comes to you, I think we 

322
00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:57,700
have the ability to deal with 
it. 

323
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,100
But if you're looking for it all
the time, I That's another 

324
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:05,900
thing. 
Yeah, it's interesting how many 

325
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:09,400
people open doors and they don't
know the doors even there to be 

326
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,400
opened in the first place. 
Like you said, when you're 

327
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,200
inviting these things in, 
there's plenty of stories out 

328
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,800
there of just crazy stuff 
happening because of that, but 

329
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,600
it reminds me of in the Bible. 
God says, don't speak with the 

330
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,200
dead. 
He doesn't say, you can't speak 

331
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,200
with the dead. 
He doesn't say it's not possible

332
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,800
to, he's like saying, don't it's
not good for you. 

333
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,800
I think a lot of time Christians
will be like oh no, you can't or

334
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,200
that's all fake. 
It's like know that stuff is 

335
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,500
real and there's you gotta you 
gotta realize some of that's 

336
00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:42,900
protestantism and there is a 
there is probably some biblical 

337
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:47,800
reasons for believing that the 
saints that there's some 

338
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,300
interaction between us and the 
saints that have gone before us.

339
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:56,200
But that said, there is 
spiritual Dimensions out there 

340
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,800
and they involve entities, Paul 
said it powers and 

341
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,600
principalities in the higher 
places and have absolutely huge.

342
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,200
Don't, you've got to be 
Discerning and careful. 

343
00:21:06,900 --> 00:21:09,700
I remember once we had a 
Catholic girl, he's one of the 

344
00:21:09,700 --> 00:21:13,400
best kids and she was an 
employee for us in a business. 

345
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,500
We owed once and we argued all 
the time because I was staunchly

346
00:21:17,500 --> 00:21:19,700
Protestant and she was staunchly
captive. 

347
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,000
I said, well, I wish I could 
talk to Paul because there's 

348
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,200
some things I don't understand. 
And she said to me, will you 

349
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,900
just ask me and I'll talk to 
him? 

350
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:37,000
Oh no, but Um so I think 
probably is a place to be 

351
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,200
inspired and get inspiration and
and it does say that the cloud 

352
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,200
of witnesses there cheering 
people on and they're cheering. 

353
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,600
You know, they're praying for 
the Redemption of the entire 

354
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,300
planet in the entire universe. 
So anyway, I don't want to over 

355
00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:56,500
do it. 
Possibly having your grandmother

356
00:21:56,500 --> 00:22:00,400
talk to you from the grave. 
It might not be demonic. 

357
00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:03,200
So it's okay. 
But there could be times when 

358
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,800
stuff like That is so you just 
have to be Discerning. 

359
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,800
And in my opinion that's just my
opinion, you know, it reminds me

360
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,000
and I'm just going to say this 
based on the scriptures, we were

361
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,100
talking about a few minutes ago,
but the Apostle Paul says, I 

362
00:22:16,100 --> 00:22:20,400
wish, the Saints knew the 
lengths, the depth, the breadth,

363
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,200
and the height, there's just so 
much more going on the veils 

364
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,500
thinning. 
Tim the veil is thinning. 

365
00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:30,900
So you got, you know, 
non-believers you got atheists, 

366
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:33,000
you got Christians, you got all 
these different groups of 

367
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,700
people. 
Whoever they are, they're all 

368
00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:39,300
starting to really realize 
there's so much more to the 

369
00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:43,100
picture here. 
I think it's amazing that he 

370
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:46,200
uses three dimensional groups 
dimensional reality. 

371
00:22:46,900 --> 00:22:48,700
Yeah. 
And he uses that scripture or 

372
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:50,400
the height the depth and the 
width. 

373
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,300
Okay. 
And that's three dimensional 

374
00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:59,100
reality, but Dimension. 
There it's very likely that 

375
00:22:59,100 --> 00:23:01,800
we're living in the 
multi-dimensional reality, many 

376
00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:06,300
meaning, more than for the 
Fourth one is time and what one 

377
00:23:06,300 --> 00:23:10,200
is is using for their he says 
Lang a lot depth length, breadth

378
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,300
and height and hives for those 
are. 

379
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:14,300
Yeah. 
But those are length and width 

380
00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:18,700
and height and depth depth is 
part of the three, but the idea 

381
00:23:18,700 --> 00:23:21,500
is he's using three dimension to
our understanding of 

382
00:23:21,500 --> 00:23:23,700
three-dimensional reality when 
he says that. 

383
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:26,600
And they didn't understand the 
dimension of time back. 

384
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,200
Then, because of Uncle mention 
is time. 

385
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,200
There's really multiple 
Dimensions that are if you if, 

386
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:39,100
if you You can you know if you 
trust some of the quantum 

387
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:42,800
physics that we're learning 
there's probably some guesses, 

388
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,500
many as 11 knock moderate. 
He's back and I think it was 

389
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:49,800
like the 12th century studied. 
The Book of Genesis and came to 

390
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,200
the reality that we lived in ten
Dimensions. 

391
00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:54,400
I think it was like Mark he was 
killed for it back then. 

392
00:23:54,700 --> 00:23:59,200
Now modern science is like oh we
live in 11 Dimensions, this is 

393
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,500
another real interesting thing. 
I didn't even plan on going this

394
00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:04,500
direction but sometimes these 
are the Conversations. 

395
00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:08,400
Yeah it's so cool that think 
about this but anyway yes, the 

396
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,000
best conversation is really when
it's not really playing. 

397
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,700
I mean we're not far off track. 
But what when the Apostle Paul 

398
00:24:14,700 --> 00:24:17,800
talks about, he knew a man 
whether in the body or out of 

399
00:24:17,808 --> 00:24:20,600
the body, he did not know who 
went up to the what the second 

400
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,200
or third heaven. 
Yeah, I mean, come on. 

401
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,800
I love when the smoking guns are
all over the word of God about 

402
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,200
this. 
People actually have good 

403
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,300
questions. 
I mean I'm coming across more 

404
00:24:31,300 --> 00:24:35,200
people in a daily weekly monthly
cases that actually have good 

405
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,000
quite like detailed questions. 
About how does this stuff 

406
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,200
operate? 
Five years ago. 

407
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,600
They used to make fun of you for
being a Christian or believing 

408
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,600
in. 
You know, anyone strange stuff, 

409
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,800
but I think that Paul story 
that's door. 

410
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,200
Paul was, I think Paul had a 
near-death experience. 

411
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:53,500
Have you ever heard of 
near-death experiences? 

412
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,800
Yeah, I had one at 19 years old.
Well, he tied if you read, he 

413
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,800
died. 
He was stoned to death. 

414
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,800
And they knew when they killed 
him, they were, they were 

415
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,300
professionals. 
Stoners. 

416
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,500
Yeah, you're right. 
They need and and he and then 

417
00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:11,400
wow. 
And he rose from the dead and he

418
00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:14,400
he was healed even after he'd 
been killed with a bunch of 

419
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,500
rocks, hitting them, I mean, 
they break your bones, they 

420
00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:18,800
break your legs, they there they
bruise. 

421
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,800
You and he walked back into 
town. 

422
00:25:22,700 --> 00:25:26,600
He had a near-death experience 
and his description of that is 

423
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,500
what he's describing. 
That's my about, that's an 

424
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:32,900
interesting take. 
See, I never really thought of 

425
00:25:32,900 --> 00:25:36,200
it like that, I've personally 
I've talked about this on, on 

426
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,500
the show on and off just little 
Snippets here and there, but I 

427
00:25:39,500 --> 00:25:42,400
had a near-death encounter like 
19 or 20 years old. 

428
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,500
I got jumped by a handful of 
guys, and I mean, not just like 

429
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:47,600
a black eye. 
They stopped me into the ground.

430
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,900
These guys were trying to kill 
him and I started setting up out

431
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:53,000
of my body. 
I'll never say I died. 

432
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,200
Yeah. 
Because I don't believe I died 

433
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:02,900
but as the me that is It's hard 
to explain but it was me coming 

434
00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:08,100
out of me, you know, whatever. 
He like almost physical body, 

435
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:10,100
still here. 
But the thing from like your 

436
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:14,100
forehead, all the way down to 
your solar plexus or your gut 

437
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,700
that makes you, you can cut off 
your arm, your arm is going to 

438
00:26:16,708 --> 00:26:19,700
rot in the ground and you're 
still you, right? 

439
00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:22,900
You don't lose any personality 
because you're losing a limb, 

440
00:26:22,900 --> 00:26:27,000
but it is so strange, you know, 
my brain swelled up on this, 

441
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,700
tapping the inside of my skull. 
I started setting up out of my 

442
00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:34,400
body. 
It felt strangely almost like 

443
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,500
slight pressure all around, kind
of, like, if you're in water, 

444
00:26:38,100 --> 00:26:40,300
you know, like the atmosphere is
different. 

445
00:26:40,300 --> 00:26:42,900
It felt similar like that but it
was very dark. 

446
00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:46,000
It was Eerie. 
It was, it was strange. 

447
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,000
It was not not. 
I mean, obviously, I'm not saved

448
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,600
at the time. 
I didn't grow up in church. 

449
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,800
I didn't even know to really 
call on the name of God. 

450
00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:56,700
Like, I mean, I knew of God, we 
were like Easter Christmas 

451
00:26:56,700 --> 00:26:59,000
Christians, but I'm not sure I'm
not going to stand on my side. 

452
00:26:59,100 --> 00:27:01,800
Soap box with this, this story, 
the audience's heart and plenty 

453
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,100
of times, but yeah, I had a 
near-death encounter and that's 

454
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:08,100
what launched me into, you know,
my whole journey of what I'm 

455
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:10,200
doing today. 
So read, I've listened to so 

456
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,000
many near-death experience 
accounts because I had an 

457
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,600
experience. 
Please tell me I didn't have a 

458
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,600
near-death experience, although 
I probably would have eventually

459
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,300
died. 
I went an addiction issue, an 

460
00:27:22,300 --> 00:27:30,500
alcohol issue and I had a and I 
had been a Christian in the past

461
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:37,400
and then I started having these 
problems as as an older adult 

462
00:27:37,700 --> 00:27:44,300
and it just got out of control 
and had another spiritual 

463
00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:51,400
experience in that recovery that
really was life-changing and it 

464
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,500
pletely, set me free. 
From the cravings. 

465
00:27:56,500 --> 00:27:59,800
And the can you tell us? 
Yeah, I can tell you all about 

466
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,700
it. 
Well, I resisted for a long 

467
00:28:02,700 --> 00:28:05,000
time. 
The fact that you could drink, 

468
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,700
you couldn't just drink 
moderately and that it was 

469
00:28:07,700 --> 00:28:12,400
completely under your control. 
And to say, you're powerless 

470
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:17,800
over that, which is what the 12 
Steps teaches is to say that you

471
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,600
can't just do the right thing. 
You're a victim. 

472
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,000
And I resisted that 
victimization and because I 

473
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:31,700
thought I had to be able to 
conduct my to a discipline 

474
00:28:31,700 --> 00:28:37,700
self-discipline life, be able to
stop this and that didn't work. 

475
00:28:37,700 --> 00:28:41,800
I kept doing stupid things that 
you just wouldn't do. 

476
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:47,100
If you were saying and drinking 
compulsion and craving got 

477
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:50,200
worse, and worse and worse. 
And I kept saying, I just have 

478
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,900
to be more responsible. 
And I have to stop doing it but 

479
00:28:52,900 --> 00:28:55,700
I would keep doing the things 
that I was ashamed of like Paul 

480
00:28:55,700 --> 00:29:01,900
said and I finally came to a 
place where I went to a 

481
00:29:01,900 --> 00:29:05,900
conference and some people gave 
me a book and I went back to the

482
00:29:05,900 --> 00:29:08,700
room and started reading the 
book and these different 

483
00:29:08,900 --> 00:29:12,900
sections of the book were 
underlined by people who who 

484
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:18,500
were trying to encourage people 
to stop drinking. 

485
00:29:19,700 --> 00:29:25,900
And to follow the program. 
So, I was reading these passages

486
00:29:25,900 --> 00:29:34,800
and they were passages out of a 
book that were were written by 

487
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,500
someone fifty years ago, and by 
people who didn't even know me, 

488
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,100
but they were underlying 
passages that directly spoke to 

489
00:29:43,100 --> 00:29:47,300
me. 
And I thought, because of all 

490
00:29:47,300 --> 00:29:50,400
the things I had done that, I 
had disappointed, God so much 

491
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,400
that he did not want. 
He wasn't going to help me. 

492
00:29:54,408 --> 00:29:58,200
If it was up to anything to get 
recover from alcohol, I was just

493
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,100
going to have to do figure it 
out. 

494
00:30:00,500 --> 00:30:03,200
I always heard that there's a 
miracle out there. 

495
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:09,700
If you will, just let go and let
God and admit you're powerless, 

496
00:30:09,700 --> 00:30:12,400
you'll have a miracle. 
And that's what I did. 

497
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,200
I said, you know what, you must 
still love me to be able to 

498
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:20,100
doing that to be doing this and 
showing me this and I, right, 

499
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,400
right there. 
Just let go and said, I admit 

500
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,800
that, I'm powerless over this 
drug. 

501
00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:28,700
I can't control it from that 
minute on. 

502
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,100
I have not had a drink. 
And that was five and a half 

503
00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:38,200
years ago and then I learned and
grown through the other steps. 

504
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,500
Most of my recovery has been 
reconciling my first spiritual 

505
00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:46,400
experience with my second 
because they were both 

506
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,300
legitimate. 
What was the first was a 

507
00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:54,200
born-again experience in a 
church and college, then 

508
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,700
jellicle charismatic church. 
And actually, and it's so funny 

509
00:30:59,700 --> 00:31:03,200
because God told me, don't drink
He told me to stop drinking. 

510
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:09,800
And I said okay so I stopped I 
thought I don't know why I 

511
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,300
didn't know anything about 
alcoholism. 

512
00:31:11,300 --> 00:31:14,500
Now I know why alcoholism is a 
disease that runs in many 

513
00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:17,200
families. 
Its genetic and you can't 

514
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,700
control it. 
Some people and various people 

515
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:25,300
have various levels of control 
but a real alcoholic if you 

516
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:28,700
drink you are going to have 
trouble at some level 

517
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:32,600
controlling that and some people
goes to dying. 

518
00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:34,800
We're going insane. 
That's it. 

519
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,100
I don't know why, but I'm going 
to stop. 

520
00:31:36,100 --> 00:31:38,300
So I start that in drink for 15 
years. 

521
00:31:38,900 --> 00:31:43,800
I figured well, I'm an adult 
now, and I've learned moderate 

522
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,500
myself. 
I can drink with moderation. 

523
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,000
It started off being a glass of 
wine and then it became too. 

524
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:56,200
And pretty soon I was polishing 
off the whole bottle and going 

525
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:01,800
through multiple bottles and it 
just kept getting worse until I 

526
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:05,600
change to part or out. 
Alcohol because there was less 

527
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:12,100
calories and just your ability 
to consume it continues to rise 

528
00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:15,700
and it just becomes more and 
more of a craving more and more 

529
00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:19,900
of a craziness. 
And a drive, when compulsion to 

530
00:32:19,900 --> 00:32:25,800
do to fulfill, its you, that the
restlessness in your heart. 

531
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,200
And I fear and tension, and just
get me out of here. 

532
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,300
I can't take this anymore, but 
you have one drink. 

533
00:32:32,300 --> 00:32:36,100
And oh, man, you start. 
You start getting this crazy, 

534
00:32:36,100 --> 00:32:38,100
you know, and that happens to a 
lot of people. 

535
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,200
Okay. 
So yeah, just helped expose me 

536
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,900
because I couldn't do. 
I wasn't enough to fix this? 

537
00:32:44,900 --> 00:32:47,900
I couldn't follow enough laws. 
Yeah. 

538
00:32:47,900 --> 00:32:51,900
And anyway, I needed to be 
changed. 

539
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,600
I needed to have some kind of 
experience, and that required me

540
00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:01,200
to say, I can't do it. 
It's out of my control, so 

541
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:08,700
powerful and if people are in 
addiction of any kind, It's 

542
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:13,900
likely that you can't beat it 
yourself that you need help 

543
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:15,300
from. 
From God. 

544
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,300
I know it's gone. 
Some people say high power. 

545
00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:21,400
That's fine. 
If you want to say it's God and 

546
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,600
God we need God. 
And there are several things 

547
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,300
we're not ever going to be able 
to do we just have to let go of 

548
00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:29,900
them. 
Trust, God and move away. 

549
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,300
If you tried to explain what 
water was to a fish. 

550
00:33:33,500 --> 00:33:36,900
They would think you're crazy 
because they just they don't 

551
00:33:36,900 --> 00:33:39,800
know what what what Otter is 
they just live in it? 

552
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,900
And I think we live in God. 
The same way we live and breathe

553
00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:49,200
and have our being we live and 
move and have our being in God, 

554
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,600
just like a fish lives and 
breathes and has their being in 

555
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,200
water. 
And when I started seeing God as

556
00:33:55,200 --> 00:34:00,700
surrounding me, and him being my
brother and being my father and 

557
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:06,900
being by the presence of him 
being Supernatural and 

558
00:34:06,900 --> 00:34:10,900
unlimited. 
And full and complete and 

559
00:34:10,900 --> 00:34:15,000
everywhere started feeling that 
I was always in God, and that I 

560
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,300
was all. 
That's when I started developing

561
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:21,300
the understanding of consciously
focused on that presence that 

562
00:34:21,300 --> 00:34:26,300
all came to me, through the 
recovery from alcoholism, to me,

563
00:34:26,300 --> 00:34:35,100
the Tendency to decorate egos 
instead of getting rid of them. 

564
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,300
Dr. Laura was on which has been 
on quite a few times, but we 

565
00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:44,800
release an episode recently. 
And there's this climax during 

566
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,600
the episode. 
For me, personally where she 

567
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,600
talks about how David emptied 
himself before. 

568
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,900
God, I've heard people use the 
term ego death, right? 

569
00:34:54,900 --> 00:34:57,900
Like I had an ego death, I've 
heard that term used and there's

570
00:34:57,900 --> 00:35:02,100
something it's so peculiar 
because until it happens to you 

571
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:06,300
or maybe you're in process, or 
it's coming down the pipeline 

572
00:35:06,300 --> 00:35:09,600
for some of us listeners. 
Has to this episode or maybe 

573
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:14,200
we've already experienced it. 
But if we've ever come to that 

574
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:21,000
place and we acknowledge who God
is for what he says of himself, 

575
00:35:21,300 --> 00:35:23,100
but what he says in the word, 
The Great. 

576
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:26,900
I Am, he's omnipotent, he's 
omnipotent, he's the beginning 

577
00:35:26,900 --> 00:35:30,500
and the end, right? 
Like everywhere, he's Spirit, 

578
00:35:30,900 --> 00:35:33,200
those who worship. 
God must Worship in here, 

579
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,100
spirit, and truth, right? 
If we come to that kind of 

580
00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:39,600
conclusion a life, because The 
whole world is built to keep you

581
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,300
from coming to that conclusion, 
right? 

582
00:35:41,700 --> 00:35:44,000
Oh, entertainment, go go. 
Go right. 

583
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,100
Make as much money as you can't 
write, the soul Society wants to

584
00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:51,300
harness a plow to your back and 
make you produce right and keep 

585
00:35:51,300 --> 00:35:54,100
us distracted. 
So I hear you talking about 

586
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,600
tuning in your focus and then 
you sharing this powerful 

587
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,300
touching? 
No Letting Go. 

588
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,900
Whoo because I'm telling you 
that I think the fall while an 

589
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,200
took place when they said, when 
man said we got this. 

590
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,000
Yeah, you don't need. 
Need you don't I know you. 

591
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:12,300
Yeah, stay over there. 
We got this. 

592
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:18,100
Thanks for the planet and we 
don't got this but and know and 

593
00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:22,400
I and and often times even the 
born-again message, they'll say,

594
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,400
Get born again. 
I was like is though. 

595
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:30,600
Praying the prayers going to 
change your whole future but 

596
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,200
then the born again is really 
reverencing. 

597
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,500
Trusting God like a child trust 
God, Like an Eagle is Eagle is 

598
00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:44,400
child. 
Trust God And be dependent on 

599
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:49,100
him letting go and trusting him 
to guide and live your life 

600
00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:52,300
through him. 
That is different than just 

601
00:36:52,300 --> 00:36:56,200
saying a prayer. 
There's so much truth and power 

602
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,100
to what you're saying and this 
is when I know this was meant to

603
00:37:00,100 --> 00:37:03,200
be talked about it is on this 
episode is the first time we've 

604
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,500
ever told, I'm connecting with 
what you're saying. 

605
00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:10,300
There's power in our testimonies
your testimony is powerful and 

606
00:37:10,300 --> 00:37:12,200
then you're giving God, all the 
praise and glory. 

607
00:37:12,300 --> 00:37:16,200
Before it so like moments like 
this, this is why I love it. 

608
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:18,900
That's something you. 
I love this stuff. 

609
00:37:18,900 --> 00:37:23,500
I loves Revelation and power 
that comes from really knowing 

610
00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:31,000
your place in God, his 
all-encompassing existence and 

611
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,600
presence in the world. 
So, everywhere fact, I was 

612
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,500
thinking their downs. 
Always been disappointed because

613
00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:42,900
I can't go to another galaxy and
another planet and Looking at a 

614
00:37:42,900 --> 00:37:48,000
tree and I thought the same God 
that created that other planet 

615
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,400
is made that other galaxies is 
in that tree, you created that 

616
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,200
tree. 
The power is holding that tree 

617
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,200
together, just like it's holding
me together. 

618
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,100
If I can experience that tree, 
I'm already experiencing the 

619
00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:05,500
same power created, the other 
things on other planets. 

620
00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:09,400
So why should I be disappointed 
that I can't go there. 

621
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,300
I can always experienced the 
power. 

622
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,300
I don't know if that meanwhile 
to you but I loved it. 

623
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:18,900
All right, dude, immediately I 
was getting hit with the The 

624
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:21,700
Chronicles of Narnia, right? 
When the kids go through the 

625
00:38:21,700 --> 00:38:25,600
Wardrobe and it's like there's 
this reality. 

626
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,500
That's right here, we have 
access to it. 

627
00:38:28,700 --> 00:38:31,900
That the scripture says taste 
and see that the Lord is good. 

628
00:38:32,900 --> 00:38:39,200
And it's all the God is beyond 
our wildest imagination. 

629
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,800
He is beyond our wildest 
imagination, man. 

630
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,700
I'm loving this. 
Isn't it? 

631
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,100
That's what it reminded me of 
when you're talking about, you 

632
00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:48,500
know, I'm looking at this tree 
if, and see, I believe 

633
00:38:48,500 --> 00:38:51,400
repentance it also means a 
change of mind. 

634
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:54,300
Yeah. 
Like, like, we change our minds 

635
00:38:54,300 --> 00:38:58,600
to be a danger of dependence, 
because you can't. 

636
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,700
And then guidance still think. 
Oh man, I'm look what God's done

637
00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:05,900
to me, man. 
I'm all this, you're nothing, 

638
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,900
you are everything and nothing 
at the same time. 

639
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,600
So, interesting show important 
because you work. 

640
00:39:12,700 --> 00:39:17,500
Created in the image of God, you
are Divine creation, and you are

641
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,700
without that same, God, without 
being in that Divinity that 

642
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:25,300
created you, you are not. 
You are like a drop of water on 

643
00:39:25,300 --> 00:39:30,600
a dry Rock and we are caught up 
in his story. 

644
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,500
This is like you, this is his 
story. 

645
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,900
This is his creation. 
He had us in mind and that's the

646
00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:39,900
kind of Revelation that can 
change Generations. 

647
00:39:40,100 --> 00:39:43,700
The reality, when we're 
adjusting the way, Who we are 

648
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,100
what is really going on in 
accordance with what God is 

649
00:39:47,100 --> 00:39:49,100
already did. 
And what his plans are moving 

650
00:39:49,100 --> 00:39:51,100
forward. 
It's a, it's a good thing, it's 

651
00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:56,700
a good thing to see. 
You came up with the name tomato

652
00:39:56,700 --> 00:40:00,600
fields, for example, epic. 
I told my wife and she's like, 

653
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,100
what tomato feels like. 
She thought she didn't 

654
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:05,300
understand what was happening 
because we're big into 

655
00:40:05,300 --> 00:40:07,000
gardening. 
So she thought maybe I was like,

656
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,100
interviewing somebody, you know,
like this gardening Channel or 

657
00:40:10,100 --> 00:40:11,300
something. 
I'm like, no, no, no. 

658
00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:12,600
And I explained to her. 
She's a call. 

659
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,800
That's really cool. 
You felt confident about that 

660
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:16,700
name. 
Uh-huh. 

661
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Was there a moment. 
We were like, that's it. 

662
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,700
This is the name on choosing for
the book. 

663
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,300
This book has had one thing 
after another. 

664
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,200
Other or I just felt like, 
that's what I should do and 

665
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,000
they're and or someone would 
come and help me out of nowhere.

666
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,500
And I couldn't have done it 
without them, just here and 

667
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:37,900
there. 
And then so in this case, my 

668
00:40:37,900 --> 00:40:42,300
brother saw the Bigfoot he was 
out working on his car and he 

669
00:40:42,300 --> 00:40:48,100
smelled something funny and he 
was living in Mason County, 

670
00:40:48,100 --> 00:40:53,000
Washington just above the Hood 
Canal, and he was there on the 

671
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,000
weekends. 
He just bought the Opportunity 

672
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,800
worked in Seattle. 
So he's there on the weekends. 

673
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,900
It was in the 90s and he was 
working on the backfist trailer 

674
00:41:01,900 --> 00:41:04,700
at dusk and he smelled something
really bad. 

675
00:41:04,700 --> 00:41:10,800
He started looking around and 
about 70 yards up the hill on 

676
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,500
the wood line, by one of the big
light poles, there was no houses

677
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:16,000
at that time. 
It was all. 

678
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,100
It was all rural area and 
forests. 

679
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,200
This thing walked out and stood 
by the pole and saw him, and 

680
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,300
they saw each other. 
ER and JoJo's freaked. 

681
00:41:26,300 --> 00:41:29,300
It was eight, it was probably 
nine eight and a half nine feet 

682
00:41:29,300 --> 00:41:33,700
tall and just really wide and 
dark colored like dark brown or 

683
00:41:33,700 --> 00:41:36,700
black, and it starts screaming 
at him. 

684
00:41:36,900 --> 00:41:39,100
It was pissed off. 
I think it was going to get 

685
00:41:39,100 --> 00:41:44,100
water and Joe got in the way. 
And it screamed at him, you know

686
00:41:44,100 --> 00:41:47,600
how they scream where it starts 
high, and then turns into a Roar

687
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:54,500
and it's just penetrates you, he
it happened to him and he ran 

688
00:41:54,500 --> 00:41:56,500
for his house which was right 
there. 

689
00:41:56,500 --> 00:42:00,200
He was close to it because of 
the driveway and he grabbed his 

690
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:05,100
shotgun and close the door and 
looked out a little window by 

691
00:42:05,100 --> 00:42:10,300
the door and he's saw it stop 
screaming and then he thought it

692
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:14,200
was coming after me. 
He thought he would start and it

693
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,900
turned around and walked back 
into the woods and that was the 

694
00:42:17,900 --> 00:42:22,900
only time he ever saw it. 
And he thinks he heard it, and 

695
00:42:22,900 --> 00:42:26,100
the whole idea about tomato 
Fields, was that just up above 

696
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,900
beyond that a little higher up, 
the hill and then down, there's 

697
00:42:30,900 --> 00:42:36,200
this area that they used to dump
sewage in and they dumped 

698
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,900
sewage, they just dump the 
sewage out in and instead of 

699
00:42:40,900 --> 00:42:44,900
putting it through sewage 
treatment plants back then they 

700
00:42:44,900 --> 00:42:48,700
just dumped it on the ground. 
And I wrote this in the 70s. 

701
00:42:48,700 --> 00:42:50,700
I used the 70s as a starting 
place. 

702
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:55,200
Age for the book and they dump 
sewage. 

703
00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:00,000
So the sewage had human waste 
and human waste has seeds from 

704
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,300
vegetables and because that a 
lot of vegetables grew and there

705
00:43:03,300 --> 00:43:07,100
was a lot of tomatoes. 
So Joe just thought well we 

706
00:43:07,100 --> 00:43:11,900
could call it tomato fields and 
Joe thinks that thing was headed

707
00:43:11,900 --> 00:43:15,000
in the direction of what we call
the Tomato Fields. 

708
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,800
He thought that was a catchy 
title, I thought it was a catchy

709
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,600
title. 
When I got closer to publishing 

710
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:28,300
the book I tested it with some 
people in every I just got good 

711
00:43:28,300 --> 00:43:35,000
results from that title. 
So I kept it and I get people 

712
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,600
who like, it really like it and 
so I'm just hoping there's a lot

713
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:43,300
of them. 
And wow, and the whole idea the 

714
00:43:43,300 --> 00:43:47,000
connection between the recovery 
from alcoholism in the book is I

715
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:52,100
started this 10 years ago but I 
never could do it because I was 

716
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,700
struggling with this addiction 
and I could focus but I couldn't

717
00:43:56,700 --> 00:44:03,300
focus enough to but once I 
recovered from this I felt like 

718
00:44:03,500 --> 00:44:06,500
I needed to finish this because 
I put my hand to it. 

719
00:44:06,500 --> 00:44:10,300
Now I need to finish it as part 
of my Covery to prove. 

720
00:44:10,300 --> 00:44:12,600
I cannot just start something I 
can finish something. 

721
00:44:13,700 --> 00:44:17,800
And so, in a way, it's a 
testimony to my recovery. 

722
00:44:18,700 --> 00:44:21,400
So it's a multiple, there's a 
lot of things going on that 

723
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,900
brought all this together for 
what that's worth. 

724
00:44:23,900 --> 00:44:29,700
But there's a lot involved and 
it's not a perfect book and I've

725
00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:32,900
made, I've had, I still have to 
do a little bit editing. 

726
00:44:33,300 --> 00:44:35,000
Can I tell you a story about my 
editor? 

727
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:40,500
Yes, please. 
She quit like, Chapters in 

728
00:44:40,500 --> 00:44:44,200
because she got mad because my 
characters were using gun, 

729
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:50,800
unsafely and here. 
And I so I had to do a lot of 

730
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,700
editing at the end torque by 
myself in order to meet 

731
00:44:54,700 --> 00:44:57,100
deadlines. 
And so there's still a few 

732
00:44:57,100 --> 00:45:02,600
little editing things that I'm 
cleaning up and so It's not a 

733
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,600
perfect book but I think for the
like it generally they like it. 

734
00:45:07,700 --> 00:45:09,800
Yeah. 
And that will be cleaned up here

735
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:14,200
shortly. 
As far as a part to goes, do you

736
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,900
have something napped out? 
Yo, yeah, it's not outlined yet.

737
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,700
It's just percolating right now.
Yeah, but I'm probably in the 

738
00:45:22,700 --> 00:45:24,600
fall. 
It's a sequel. 

739
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,800
I wanted to be sequel. 
I'm going to do another one on 

740
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,800
recovery that I'm also working 
on. 

741
00:45:29,500 --> 00:45:34,400
So that'll be different more 
like we've covered both of them.

742
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,300
It'll be. 
Yeah, I love how this episode. 

743
00:45:38,300 --> 00:45:43,000
It's just your first time here. 
I feel like You just laid so 

744
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,900
much out for us and you're just,
you're humble, you're just 

745
00:45:46,900 --> 00:45:49,000
unashamed. 
You're like, listen, God's Got 

746
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,800
The Power, this is the journey. 
I just, these are my favorite 

747
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,600
kind of stories, because I 
really feel like I'm just 

748
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:57,600
connecting with you and we never
understand the ripple effect. 

749
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,500
That's one of my big things I 
talked about. 

750
00:45:59,500 --> 00:46:03,300
We don't understand the ripple 
effect like God sees it, and he 

751
00:46:03,300 --> 00:46:06,600
knows to us, it just maybe, oh, 
we had this conversation. 

752
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,400
Oh, I was on this podcast, but 
there could be somebody out 

753
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,000
there to go. 
Absolutely. 

754
00:46:12,100 --> 00:46:16,200
Here's this interview and it's 
Sparks them to change their life

755
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:17,800
and then the domino effect from 
there. 

756
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,800
And I think that's that's a 
wonderful mystery just to 

757
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,200
consider. 
I'll ponder on that a lot of the

758
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:27,700
times now. 
Go ahead, you're getting good 

759
00:46:27,700 --> 00:46:31,400
reviews on the book. 
I think on Amazon, you're at 

760
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,900
like to say close to 70 70, 70 
plus reviews in this point in 

761
00:46:35,900 --> 00:46:38,700
time, are you getting like 
feedback from from any of the 

762
00:46:38,700 --> 00:46:41,000
readers on your social media 
site or do you? 

763
00:46:41,100 --> 00:46:43,700
You have like a hub where people
reach out to you like your own 

764
00:46:43,700 --> 00:46:46,000
website. 
For example, most of the time 

765
00:46:46,100 --> 00:46:52,000
I've had two or three people 
comment on on Instagram I've had

766
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,500
people comment on Facebook. 
I've had friends, and people, I 

767
00:46:56,508 --> 00:47:02,700
don't know, just call from out 
of the blue and I had one just 

768
00:47:02,700 --> 00:47:06,400
yesterday who has a podcast and 
wants me to be on his podcast. 

769
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,200
But he started telling me about 
the book. 

770
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,000
He's an English major and he 
just likes it so much and he 

771
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,500
likes what it's telling us about
Bigfoot and the thinks it's 

772
00:47:15,500 --> 00:47:18,500
going to contribute a lot. 
So things like that, I could 

773
00:47:18,500 --> 00:47:21,300
never make. 
I could never Make those six 

774
00:47:21,300 --> 00:47:22,600
happened. 
They just are kind of 

775
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:27,200
spontaneously happening to me. 
So I hope that it's also why I 

776
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,100
think you got the right 
mentality for all this to keep 

777
00:47:30,100 --> 00:47:32,300
happening. 
And I got says, if we humble 

778
00:47:32,300 --> 00:47:35,800
ourselves, you know, who exalt 
Us in due time. 

779
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,700
And just so cool. 
And humble ourselves is Letting 

780
00:47:39,700 --> 00:47:43,700
Go and not taking ourselves. 
So seriously when we need it and

781
00:47:43,700 --> 00:47:46,400
not trying to be perfect because
none of us are perfect. 

782
00:47:46,700 --> 00:47:50,100
I'm on that Journey where it's 
just like not, it's not trying 

783
00:47:50,100 --> 00:47:52,800
to Take myself too seriously. 
Like I got interviewed for the 

784
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,000
first time like truly 
interviewed I've been on other 

785
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,700
shows I've been on other radio 
programs and stuff but I had on 

786
00:47:58,700 --> 00:48:02,900
the guys over at days of Noah 
podcast, reach out a month or so

787
00:48:02,900 --> 00:48:05,500
ago and they wanted to do just 
an exclusive interview on my 

788
00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:07,600
testimony. 
I'm like I'm thinking about it 

789
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,500
I'm like I've never told my 
Testament like I've told 

790
00:48:10,500 --> 00:48:13,600
Snippets just in reciprocating 
people in the podcast or just 

791
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,900
things that come to mind or 
really feel like if I tell this 

792
00:48:16,900 --> 00:48:19,200
person this snippet, they're 
going to have a good response 

793
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,100
for me or maybe Rebuke or maybe 
they're going to, you know, just

794
00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:26,600
something, you know, we kind of 
give these little pieces of of 

795
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,500
ourselves, we don't want to set 
our gems in front of swine, 

796
00:48:30,500 --> 00:48:31,600
right? 
We want to set him in front of 

797
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:35,000
people that we feel like are 
going to give back value or see 

798
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,100
it somehow to help us possibly 
make sense of it. 

799
00:48:38,100 --> 00:48:41,000
But that was that was 
interesting for me. 

800
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:46,500
And the more I go about this and
just learning, really, the idea 

801
00:48:46,500 --> 00:48:49,700
this show Tim is, I'm capturing 
the growth Journey, personally 

802
00:48:49,700 --> 00:48:53,000
while promoting noting, all 
these other people that I find 

803
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,900
something like powerful or 
beautiful in their story, So I'm

804
00:48:56,900 --> 00:48:59,300
just kind of capturing how I'm 
growing and learning the 

805
00:48:59,300 --> 00:49:01,100
information. 
I'm hearing my reactions, you 

806
00:49:01,100 --> 00:49:04,700
name it and then at the same 
time just making friends. 

807
00:49:04,700 --> 00:49:07,300
Just you just documenting the 
process. 

808
00:49:07,300 --> 00:49:10,700
You know what and you're saying.
Stuff here tonight I'll have 

809
00:49:10,700 --> 00:49:14,300
your podcasts. 
Yeah, that's a little bit 

810
00:49:14,300 --> 00:49:18,900
coolest. 
You know, man. 

811
00:49:18,900 --> 00:49:22,000
That's a funny one. 
Because I had a podcast before 

812
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,400
this not of this world. 
Hmm. 

813
00:49:24,700 --> 00:49:28,300
And I remember when God gave me 
the millennial Mustard Seed. 

814
00:49:28,300 --> 00:49:31,300
It's a mouthful man, people have
trouble saying it. 

815
00:49:31,300 --> 00:49:33,800
I'm like in the beginning, I'm 
laughing my God. 

816
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,400
I don't want to name it 
something else, you know and 

817
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,600
he's just I just was feeling his
gut. 

818
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,000
Yeah, pulling just absolutely 
not. 

819
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,500
Don't even consider a kid. 
Almost like something like, like

820
00:49:46,500 --> 00:49:48,300
Stern old man, is over my 
shoulder. 

821
00:49:48,300 --> 00:49:50,700
Just like it, don't erase that 
off the paper. 

822
00:49:50,700 --> 00:49:54,000
That's just a feeling I got. 
It was so strange, but like I 

823
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,800
also knew God had a sense of 
humor, and I just went with it 

824
00:49:57,100 --> 00:50:00,300
and it's funny. 
Now, it kind of fits in. 

825
00:50:00,300 --> 00:50:03,900
In this weird, it's a very Niche
audience, I'm a small fry, don't

826
00:50:03,900 --> 00:50:07,000
have a huge audience, Audience. 
Some of these guys out there, 

827
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,700
they're getting hundreds of 
thousands downloads. 

828
00:50:08,700 --> 00:50:12,200
I just I'm like listen and a 
small Niche audience who 

829
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,000
believes in God who's willing to
Journey with me is more 

830
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,000
important than just the masses. 
You know, that was my what God 

831
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,900
kept me in that reality check. 
So you got to start somewhere, 

832
00:50:22,900 --> 00:50:25,300
right? 
Yeah, absolutely. 

833
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:30,400
So this is always encouraging 
hearing hearing all these these 

834

really want to have you back in
