Transcript

SPEAKER_05 0:02

We should start out by talking about the bison that threw that guy. The toe were you yawning?

SPEAKER_02 0:12

Sorry. That was pretty flippin' funny.

SPEAKER_05 0:21

That's that's a distinct difference between our cultures.

SPEAKER_02 0:26

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_05 0:28

You ain't black. Know exactly what I mean.

SPEAKER_02 0:36

That's why his little butt got thrown through the air, too.

SPEAKER_05 0:39

Episode 138, Doc and Carolyn podcast. No, it's a very it's a very uh distinct uh difference in in in the culture now. I ain't and brothers aren't going out messing with bison like that.

SPEAKER_02 0:52

Well, I'm not either, just for the record. I mean, you know, I will You ain't black. I will do things with wild animals, but not something that can kill me.

SPEAKER_05 1:06

I mean, well, you're when you say wild animals, you're talking about horses. No for you.

SPEAKER_02 1:11

Those are domesticated. I'm talking about like, you know, if I could catch one of these possums back here, I would. Carolyn, do not even or one of the bunnies or one of the, you know, we've had a squirrel live in our house before.

SPEAKER_05 1:25

Oh, yeah. You know, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:27

My dad's the squirrel whisperer. And you are too now.

SPEAKER_05 1:31

I'm not, but I'm not letting them crawl on me and all and all that. Your dad, your your dad lets the squirrel get up on his shoulder and and uh run up his arm and all that. No, I don't have that kind of relationship with him. But I don't think do we ever tell about the squirrels eating the house? I started putting peanuts out.

SPEAKER_02 1:51

I don't I don't know if I don't think we've talked about that, no.

SPEAKER_05 1:54

On the porch. And I post a lot of the stuff. If you ever, if you're ever on TikTok, I do a little uh video channel called the uh the animal channel, but I put out raw peanuts on the porch for the squirrels.

SPEAKER_02 2:06

And they love peanuts.

SPEAKER_05 2:08

And they I mean they they they just love them, yeah. And and they are I put the peanuts right under the window where the cats could see them.

SPEAKER_02 2:15

And it's peanuts in the shell, so they have to shell them.

SPEAKER_05 2:18

Yeah, and the cats go berserk. You can imagine they're watching it as some funny video. But I'm outside putting more peanuts out, and I look up in the what do you call that? The structure, the wood, uh the back porch? No, no. What is it called that the that they're eating? What is that what is that?

SPEAKER_02 2:35

Oh, the trim. The trim on the columns of the back porch.

SPEAKER_05 2:38

Yeah, they're eating the house. I mean, it I I I didn't know they would do that.

SPEAKER_02 2:43

Uh yeah, they weren't nibbling just on the trim there.

SPEAKER_05 2:46

So do you think they were eating it, or do squirrels do that because they're marking their territory?

SPEAKER_02 2:51

I don't know, but yeah, we had to stop feeding them the peanuts on the back corner so they'd stop eating the house.

SPEAKER_05 2:59

Yeah. Anyway, so that was nuts. Uh this week we uh I saw I saw family members, uh I saw a family member openly advocating for socialism.

SPEAKER_02 3:12

He's nuts.

SPEAKER_05 3:14

I'm I don't know. I mean, I I no, he's not nuts. Yeah, he's nuts. Well, okay, well, wait a minute.

SPEAKER_02 3:20

This is this is you know, but he's not uneducated or ignorant or whatever you want to call him, or uneducated on the matter.

SPEAKER_05 3:29

He's not the only one.

SPEAKER_02 3:30

And all these people all these people, all these people aren't crazy.

SPEAKER_05 3:35

There, they can't, all of them aren't crazy.

SPEAKER_02 3:37

They're ignorant.

SPEAKER_05 3:38

We talk to people that have lived under socialism. Yes. One of one of the actually, we've done a couple interviews with uh with our friend Julius, who grew up in Romania under a socialist um regime.

SPEAKER_02 3:52

One of my co-workers is from Cuba.

SPEAKER_05 3:56

Yeah, have you did did you ever we we talked about maybe inviting her on the show and you know, not everybody wants to wants to tell their story to an audience, so well she's a little self-conscious about but the story is not favorable. I mean, she didn't she didn't have much positive to say about it, right?

SPEAKER_02 4:12

No, and I will tell you a couple of uh I don't typically talk politics at work, you know, because I work in healthcare and I work with a bunch of liberals. But anyway, I um I don't I don't remember someone was talking bad about Trump or something, and um she has no qualms about letting people know about socialism and the nonsense that the left is trying to pull over here because she's lived it. Yeah, and she knows, she she said, I see what's coming.

SPEAKER_05 4:45

Well, well, what would here's my question. Why would this this family member of mine that was openly advocating for socialism, he's part of three generations of uh of black people in this country. I mean, this is this is a very close family member, and I know uh where, how, when, uh he grew up with the rest of my family, and I know how everybody, what everybody experienced because we were all, you know, grow in the same orbit all the time. And three generations, I mean, my father was uh, I'm not saying it was easy, and there's no there's no way to diminish the challenges he had to deal with. None nevertheless, he opened a business and was a businessman and instilled a lot of great, you know, at least made a great example of his life of what hard work discipline.

SPEAKER_02 5:39

That's just it. No one wants the hard work anymore. Everyone feels entitled to have what everyone else has, but they don't feel like they need to put in the effort.

SPEAKER_05 5:51

Well, that's one generation. Then I I looked at that and modeled a lot of my ambition off of what I saw.

SPEAKER_02 5:59

And so did he, the one that you're talking about.

SPEAKER_05 6:01

Exactly right, exactly right. And, you know, by by any measure, um, you know, uh at least um, you know, I've had successful careers. I've I've I've done quite well. We've both done quite well. And um now let's go to another generation. Let's go three deep. Our sons, our children are doing quite well. Everybody, so that's three generations now, right? Um, and so what more so what are you so angry about? What is it about capital? I'm I'm asking uh the people that are in my orbit, the people who I I saw how they grew up. They didn't grow up in South Africa.

SPEAKER_02 6:38

He's angry about what he's being told to be angry about.

SPEAKER_05 6:42

Exactly. And and how do so, how do you break I mean, do you even try to break somebody out of that? I mean, do you do you can you have a relationship without without having some just some fundamental understanding of what reality is nice and cordial to people, but no, I can't have a meeting, I can't have a meaningful relationship. But we're nice and cordial to people at at Walmart. I mean, yeah, sure. Excuse me. You bump into them, you say.

SPEAKER_02 7:10

You have to have the same values in order to have a meaningful relationship. And I don't mean you have to agree on everything, yeah, but you have to at least have some basic values that are the same.

SPEAKER_05 7:23

Yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_02 7:24

It's uh and tossing my grandchildren and great grandchildren under the bus because you don't want to get off your butt and work. I don't have those values, you know. If you if you do, cool, but I don't, and I don't really have any desire to have a relationship.

I started hammock solutions inside of a small incubator back in 2022. Somebody calls and has a virus or something like that, they can get it removed, or if they need data restoration or anything like that.

SPEAKER_05 7:59

You went to our page. Did you start to weep, or what was your response?

SPEAKER_01 8:02

SPEAKER_05 8:31

Hammock Solutions, technical solution for the Doc and Carolyn Podcast. So I wanted to ask you, um, what do you think about playing the book of Revelation um from the Bible, from Scripture, on just playing it raw?

SPEAKER_02 8:48

I think it's great. Everyone needs to hear it and read it, and you know, it may pique someone's interest enough to study it.

SPEAKER_05 8:57

We listen to the show after we finish uh this podcast. We we both listen, I guess, maybe to to cr to critique to critique it. Or um or to, you know, you know, that's what you do. You listen back to your product.

SPEAKER_02 9:13

So um well, because also you do all the editing, so I don't hear the final thing until after it's done.

SPEAKER_05 9:20

Right. So um but we listened to the the whole show last week and listened to Revelation, just let it play. We're we were on a we were running an error and we were in the car, and we listened to it, and did I understand all of it? And and I don't the thing is, I don't come at this from the angle of a theologian. I don't, I don't act like I'm an expert on scripture. What I do know is how important it is uh in my own life. I know that the world is changing, it has changed, and it's doing exactly what scripture, what those ancient documents said. We're not we're not getting better. I think we talked about that last week. We're not evolving behaviorally, certainly. Uh we are devolving into something else.

SPEAKER_02 10:06

I was Well, I always think about what Kimberly said when she was here visiting. Um, because I said, you know, I don't publicly talk about scripture a lot because I always feel like I don't know enough. Like other people know more than me.

SPEAKER_03 10:24

Right.

SPEAKER_02 10:24

But um she said, so how did they know? Or how did they know? I said, Well, they studied it and learned. She said, Okay then.

SPEAKER_03 10:34

Okay, right.

SPEAKER_02 10:35

Right. So that's what you know, we study it and learn.

SPEAKER_05 10:40

But we all see on social media, like I I was telling you today there was a a story that was posted out of Cincinnati. Uh, this this man, his mugshot, he's arrested for robbing a guy who is suffering a heart attack. I guess I guess the guy you know fell down clutching his chest and you know, called 911, whatever that was about, and and he took the guy's wallet and uh and went to run off. So I'm just saying we're living the culture's different in many ways, and to compete with that or or to I guess my the bottom line for me is is playing what God says, uh, because that's what our faith says as disciples of Yeshua, we believe.

SPEAKER_02 11:23

And you're blessed by hearing spirit.

SPEAKER_05 11:25

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm glad you said that because that was, man, I was gonna get long-winded too. I'm glad you stopped. It would have been it says, uh, this is in uh verse three of Revelation one. It says, a joyous, and this is the uh the passion translation, it says, a joyous blessing rests upon the one who reads this message and upon those who hear and embrace the words of this prophecy, for the appointed time is in your hands. And that's why that's why we play it. That is listen to that. That's a promise.

SPEAKER_02 12:03

I think when we're done with revelation, we should choose another book.

SPEAKER_05 12:07

Yeah, I thought about that too.

SPEAKER_02 12:08

So I mean, because if someone's listening already, right most likely gonna go ahead and listen to that and you know it may encourage them to start reading.

SPEAKER_05 12:21

Yeah, and uh even if even if you don't understand all of it, I'm I mean, I'll say this for myself, even if I don't understand all of it at at at the time I listened to it, it it it comes with a blessing, and I can just ask, uh ask the Lord sincerely, just say, Listen, open up my the eyes of my understanding, open up my heart so that I can receive, you know, the with the with the words of this prophecy.

SPEAKER_02 12:46

Yeah. I I didn't start actually reading my Bible until I don't know, after we were married. Yeah. And I don't know, it's a I mean it's a great book. Yeah, it's a great book.

SPEAKER_03 13:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:03

And I find it hilarious how sassy Jesus is.

SPEAKER_05 13:07

Oh man. It it's you know, it's so good. It's almost astonishing that even from a historical or archaeological or prophetic uh angle, whatever lens you you view this this collection of of books that that the Lord left for us, no matter how you look at it, from what angle you pick it up and begin to study it, it's fascinating.

SPEAKER_02 13:30

It is fascinating.

SPEAKER_05 13:32

It's fascinating. And the fact that it is living and it has been given to us.

SPEAKER_02 13:36

And you see how imperfect even the people Jesus chose for his disciples, they were so imperfect.

SPEAKER_05 13:45

Why we need a savior.

SPEAKER_02 13:47

Exactly. So all of the you have to be perfect to come to Jesus. No, you don't. No, you don't.

SPEAKER_05 13:53

For real.

SPEAKER_02 13:54

You come and he works on your heart and he works on you.

SPEAKER_05 13:59

So Revelation chapter three, next.

SPEAKER_00 14:02

Welcome to this Kingdom Minute with your host, Kimberly Blakes on the Doc and Carolyn podcast. I learned that some of my attitudes that I have surrounding money and surrounding life and surrounding relationships came from my childhood. These are all learned behaviors, and they come from your parents. And I have nothing against my parents at all. I don't want you to think that they can't give you what they don't have because they probably got it from their parents. And so this is just that. This is life. But I have the responsibility now to change that. Even if you were born in a bad situation, if you die in a bad situation, that's on you. You have the responsibility to change your life and to change your station in life. And so, with that, I have been working to change some of my limited beliefs and to just receive from God. Thank you for tuning in to this Kingdom Minute with your host, Kimberly Blakes on the Doc and Carolyn podcast. You can find me on Facebook at Kimberly Blakes, and I also have a podcast called The Faith Frame Perspective. I'll see you guys there.

SPEAKER_05 15:07

So here's something that's that's remarkable to me. Uh, you have transitioned back into being a full-time student with the it looks like, from my perspective, the greatest of of ease, like being on a trapeze.

SPEAKER_02 15:22

I don't know how easy, but yeah. I mean, I I love to learn new things.

SPEAKER_05 15:27

So Yeah, so this class is uh tougher than you thought. Uh well, first of all, tell the you know everybody should know by now you're a uh nurse practitioner, you have your own uh private practice, truehealinghealthcare.net, and you also on your in your spare time help uh the citizenry through urgent care. Yes. So you're uh extremely busy to say the least, but uh you're in you're in class on top of all of this, right? Uh taking a certification class for uh let me see if I can get it, uh bioidentical hormone therapy.

SPEAKER_02 16:02

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, yes.

SPEAKER_05 16:06

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_02 16:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 16:07

And and for the with the short version of what that even is, is replacing your hormones when you're deficient. Yeah. So is does everybody um what causes deficiency, I guess?

SPEAKER_02 16:19

Uh lots of things, but age is a big one. Women who are perimenopausal and going through menopause kind of struggle.

SPEAKER_05 16:28

Does everybody then as as aging the inevitable part of that takes on all of us? I mean, approaches, I mean, that we have what am I saying? Is everybody then ultimately eligible for bioidentical?

SPEAKER_02 16:43

No, everybody isn't. There are people who like if you've had breast cancer, you probably don't want to. They did mention that um the bio-identical hormones some practitioners will prescribe them, but I won't do that. Um and I'm I'm just gonna look into that more because I'm curious for myself.

SPEAKER_05 17:08

Yeah. But um So what how is a person feeling? I I think my question is what makes me say I might be a candidate for that? Because I feel like this and I need to feel like that.

SPEAKER_02 17:19

Yeah, you're going to the doctor, you're having a lot of fatigue. Um uh for men, you may be losing your hair, low libido, excess weight gain, okay, that kind of thing.

SPEAKER_03 17:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 17:33

Uh, for women, the your hot flashes, your moodiness, your um can also maybe losing your hair.

SPEAKER_05 17:42

So that is going to be uh added services to truehealinghealthcare.net in addition to your functional integrative medicine uh practice. Yeah, pretty exciting stuff.

SPEAKER_02 17:52

Yeah, because I like to um do as much as I can without you know, any kind of prescribed anything other than vitamins or whatever you may be deficient in. But um, but you know, sometimes you need sometimes it's important that you get what you're deficient in.

SPEAKER_05 18:13

Well, I must tell you, having a front row seat to your practice and to your lifestyle, more importantly, is so I I I can't tell you this has been a fantastic week. Because because I was off this week. Yeah, well, that's that's a huge part of it.

SPEAKER_02 18:32

You know, I was off from urgent care this week.

SPEAKER_05 18:34

Yeah, so you had uh some time to hang out. We had a lot of time to hang out, which is always nice, but um I it's like a treasure hunt. I keep saying that over and over again, but I am always pleasantly surprised when I set some some goals, whether whether it's uh how uh how much how much intensity to apply to my workouts when I yeah, when I climb the hills or do my strength work or whatever, and that I am able to meet those those goals uh on a daily and weekly and monthly basis is just it is so much fun.

SPEAKER_02 19:07

It just makes it it's so funny for me to be the age that I am, and then I'm in better shape now than I was in my 30s, probably.

SPEAKER_05 19:18

Oh, yeah, for sure. If you're not taking care of yourself, you don't feel bad at all at once. It's uh you know what I mean? It's kind of a kind of a gradual thing.

SPEAKER_02 19:28

It's like a same with improvement boiling water, and you um you get used to feeling crappy. So it becomes normal for you.

SPEAKER_05 19:39

And so you start to string together these days though, where you begin to feel where you're happy when the sun comes up and you're ready to get out of the house and you're looking forward to uh pushing, you know, your yourself, whether whether it's uh at work or mentally or physically or anything else.

SPEAKER_02 19:57

Yeah, there were days when, you know, I would want to sleep in, and sleeping in meant sleeping until 10, 11 o'clock. But now if I sleep past seven, I'm Carolyn Kilgore, founder and provider at TrueHealing Healthcare.net.

SPEAKER_05 20:12

Why functional medicine?

SPEAKER_02 20:14

Because you're more than just a list of symptoms. Traditional care often masks the problem, but functional medicine digs deeper to find the root cause.

SPEAKER_04 20:22

What makes True Healing Healthcare different?

SPEAKER_02 20:25

We move away from the one size fits all approach. We look at your environment and your lifestyle to create a roadmap tailored specifically for you.

SPEAKER_05 20:33

What if someone really wants to make a change?

SPEAKER_02 20:36

If you're tired of feeling fine and want to start feeling great, it's about proactive wellness, not just reactive treatment.

SPEAKER_05 20:43

What's the deal with telemedicine?

SPEAKER_02 20:45

As long as you're 18 and have an internet connection, you can have a visit in the privacy of your own home or anywhere else in Texas. We're able to order labs or prescribe or whatever else you need.

SPEAKER_05 20:56

Truehealinghealthcare.net for the great state of Texas. Now Revelation Chapter 3.

SPEAKER_06 21:04

To the angel of the church in Sardis, write these words. These are the words of him who holds the sevenfold spirit of God and the seven stars. These are the words of him who holds the sevenfold spirit of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds. You have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. I say to you, wake up, strengthen what remains, and is about to die. For I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard. Hold it fast and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me dressed in white, for they are worthy. The one who overcomes will like them be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. And what he opens, no one can shut, and what he shuts, no one can open. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have but little strength. Yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews, though they are not, but are liars. I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. Hold on to what you have so that no one will take your crown. The one who overcomes, I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation. That you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were either one or the other. So because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, I am rich, I have acquired wealth, and do not need a thing. But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so that you can become rich, and white clothing to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness, and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. To the one who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my father on his throne. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
