The Gospel Twins Podcast
Constantine and His Theological Gumbo Called Christianity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Moving the clock sounds harmless until you ask who absorbs the fallout. We kick things off with daylight saving time and why “just an hour” can still disrupt sleep, stress levels, and family safety, especially when kids end up standing at a bus stop in the dark. We also get honest about how a society can coordinate a time change overnight, yet struggle to coordinate to protect people most affected by the consequences.
That same tension shows up when we talk about patriotism and the American flag. We wrestle with why symbols hit differently across communities, why many Black Americans carry mixed feelings, and why it is so insulting to be met with “Are you sure?” when you describe injustice you have lived. For us, real love of country requires truth-telling, not performance, and “freedom and justice for all” cannot remain a slogan if it does not show up in daily life.
From there, we zoom out to Christianity deconstruction, Constantine’s impact on the faith, and what happens when political power blends belief with control. We talk about information control, censorship, and the modern shift from owning things to renting access through streaming and downloads. We even connect it to seeds, soil, and climate language, because stewardship of the earth is not a side issue when the future gets shaped by what we normalize and what we speak.

Airshow Delays And Better Weather
SPEAKER_04What up? What's up, though, man?
SPEAKER_08What you doing, dude? Hey, what about you? You was out this way. You saw the you did you get to see the airplanes stuff? The jets?
SPEAKER_04Oh man, dude, we went over there, man, and waited. And we saw a couple of little practice runs. It was supposed to start at six, dude. It was it got to be past seven o'clock. We was already waiting out there since 3:34. Dude, we didn't even by the time they, I guess they wound up coming the red arrows, man, it came and putting the the red, white, and blue smoke out and everything, dude. They didn't do that till after eight o'clock, dude. We was already gone. We was like, man, that's that's it. Because we had been sitting out there since 3:30, dude. And we was cooking, but thank God, man, you know, some some clouds came through for a minute. It it it kind of just cooled everything off, and it was really breezy outside, so it wasn't it wasn't bad at all, man. And uh all that smoke and everything that was, you know, in from the wildfires and stuff, all that was gone. So it was it wound up being a pretty good evening, man. It's just they didn't they didn't set, they was running way behind, man. So yeah, but we went, we went, it was cool.
SPEAKER_08Okay, yeah, and thank god uh the weather, the temperature's
Daylight Saving Time Back In Focus
SPEAKER_08gone down. I had my window open all night.
SPEAKER_04Oh, it felt so nice, nice.
SPEAKER_08The window fan, ooh, that air, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Thank god that air quality got cleared up, man.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, because I wouldn't have my window open if it was a few.
SPEAKER_04And no doubt, no doubt, yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, man. Uh what I do want to talk about before we uh hit hit the topics and hit hit the floor running. Uh you see what's going on with uh daylight savings time, bro.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what you think about that?
SPEAKER_08I don't like it because you know it happened, you know, this this top this has been approached before in the past, and and the farmers always go back and tell them, like, no, this is not helping with the crops, so can we go back? And you know, so you got the daylight saving time, you got the standard time. And so most people are saying that if you stick with the standard time and it might be, it won't be as bad. But as if now, if we keep this uh time frame that we're talking about, we're talking in some areas in the country, man, the sun ain't gonna come up till about 9 30. Wow, that's wow, that's gonna seem so weird, bro. It's gonna be like for us, it was gonna be close to 8:30. So it's gonna be it's gonna stay it's gonna stay light later and stay darker longer in the morning. So the kids, it's gonna be it's gonna be guaranteed for the children to be outside in the dark every morning, right?
SPEAKER_04Right. Which I thought that's what it was supposed to really bend about, you know, ultimately. Yeah, but you know, I mean, you know that the kids would not be out there in the dark, yeah, exactly. That's that's what I thought, man.
SPEAKER_08But you know, you know, you know, uh, you know, against certain people taking restrictions off, measles measles is uh uh increased and all these other diseases. Oh my gosh, bro.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, wow, yeah.
SPEAKER_08You know, you take qualified people out their positions and put certain people in, and then you want to take away the CDC and all this other stuff, and stuff that was always in place for reasons, right? Right, you know, it's there for a reason, it's not there for smoking mirrors, you know, right, right, and then you want to come in. Oh, don't get me started.
SPEAKER_04You already started, bro. You already go. Oh I feel you, man. You know what, bro?
SPEAKER_08And
Kids In The Dark And Public Safety
SPEAKER_08um, spirit been on my heart on this too, losing certain um uh listeners, and and I and the spirit told me that it it I lovely spirit.
SPEAKER_06I didn't know you wanted to get involved with the discussion, Mr. Hell.
SPEAKER_08So I had to think back like what you know, do you think you said something or you did anything that would cause anybody to sit, like maybe be insulted or yeah, like offended somebody? Yeah, so it might be that flag, that flag comment I said, man. Uh I was you know, I was pretty harsh on that, you know. Um but people gotta know my heart. It's absolutely for me, it's about it's about people. It's all about people, so all this other stuff, country and flags and honoring this and saluting this. I feel it's a distraction. Um, it's too much injustice is going on to sit there and mean and sit there and hold somebody accountable because they don't look at a flag a certain way that you do. And and there's so many groups in this country that yeah, the idea of of this country and and what it stands for, it applies to a certain group, but not to everybody. And so everybody had different uh different experiences.
SPEAKER_04Right.
SPEAKER_08So you know what? Inquisitive as I'm always am I went to uh what to perplexity and perplexity. Well, you know, what is the percentage of black folk that honors or wave the flag? 30 percent. Wow, three out of seven. Wow, and I thought I thought the three was too high. I don't know anybody, man. I know I don't know people that serve like I did and all that, but I don't know anybody with a flag in front of the yard. Yeah, yeah, and um, and so it says Americans, so it said associate press, many black Americans have mixed feelings about flying the flag. Some see it as a representative of both inclusion and exclusion. Historically, the flag has been used to justify a version of patriotism that excludes black Americans. That I'm on that side because I live in a neighborhood that it's it's like every home has a flag, and not one black person living in these areas, and then and one of the houses have one of those lawn jockeys. So you can just say you can think with that as you wish. Right. Okay. Surveys show about three out of ten blacks,
Losing Listeners And The Flag Question
SPEAKER_08I said that earlier, this display the flag. For some, it's painful reminder of unfulfilled promises and the country's failure to live up to its ideas for black and indigenous people and people of color. Others, however, see it as a sign of hard-won progress and opportunities we're fighting for. Essentially, opinions are divided, reflecting deep differences in how people view the nation's history and their place in it. So I wanted to read that to the listeners because if if that's the case, I mean you see what I've come where I'm coming from. I'm not on the outside. I I serve in the military. Um got family in the military. So and then as a as a 55-year-old, I've I've seen enough to form my opinion. And it's not in and and you know what I and what I what I feel what is disingenuous when I go to a person, you know, and I have a lot of friends of uh other ethnic groups, and and I tell them some injustices or things that I noticed. Are you sure that was happening? Or that's are you sure that what they meant? What makes what what makes you think I don't? Do I look like I'm 12 or something like that?
SPEAKER_04Right.
SPEAKER_08And even at 12, I understood there, you know why? Because my parents put me homeschool on that type of stuff, right?
SPEAKER_05Sure.
SPEAKER_08And so uh I I I I have the discernment, so it's so sorry, people that you would question. And that's that is so insulting, bro, to sit there and ask somebody, are you sure that's what are you sure?
SPEAKER_04Are you really experiencing that? Are you are you sure that's what you're experiencing? And you know, the this yeah, it's it man, we we as a people, man, we have got to become more um engaged with trying to hear and understand what the heart of what people are saying, man. We we are gonna say some things, man, that are can come off offensive, but when you recognize this is why you gotta get to know and understand people. And it used to be where we would give people the benefit of the doubt. You know, let me see what they really mean. Our our quote unquote justice system is supposed to be built off of innocent until proven guilty. I'm supposed to come in assuming the best concerning you, and then let the, you know, let the evidence persuade me otherwise. But but that's why it's gotta be beyond substantial, you know, it I mean circumstantial evidence. It's gotta be something that's really, man, concrete. And the the the argument against America, man, is so it's so uh obvious the of what the country did and continues to do to people that are not in a in a particular people group, man. This whole country is supposed to be founded upon uh immigration, you know, people coming from all different walks of life who share an idea
Why Many Black Americans Skip Flags
SPEAKER_04and you know of liberty and freedom and justice for all. This is what we stand on, bro. We suppose America's supposed to be ten toes on this. And in the proud spirit of our great country. It it doesn't actually uphold its own philosophy. And we have a we have a statue in in the harbor in New York City, man. It's called the Statue of Liberty. It says, Bring me your hungry, you're tired, you're poor. That's what it's it's saying, come here. Why? Because we offer opportunities for everyone to have an equal playing field and to prosper and to have the share in the American dream. Bro, that dream is not a reality for for everyone, for its citizens. And when it's not for everyone, it's supposed to affect every person. That, like, oh man, that's then that's injustice, then. If this people can come here and can't get the same opportunity that we all have, that's a problem. That's an injustice. And man, and we can't how can we wait? How can a people that are being deprived of that wave the flag? Come on, man. Just you gotta come on, people. Let's be honest. Until we start being honest about this stuff, man, how are we gonna go forward as a nation?
SPEAKER_08You brother, do you know what's comparable? And maybe our listeners can understand with this um this comparison, Christianity. People are leaving Christianity because it's not holding up to his ideas.
SPEAKER_04Absolutely, absolutely.
SPEAKER_08People are leaving in droves, right?
SPEAKER_04Yes, they are, absolutely.
SPEAKER_08And they said, Oh, this is this is not living up. I thought it was supposed to be like this, uh, it was supposed to be like that, and so and when I got in here, it's not, yeah, you know, this Christ that y'all teaching is really nothing like y'all.
SPEAKER_04You know what I mean? That create, man, the level of dissonance, man, that that creates in a person. And people are tired of that, man. People are tired of this internal war that they have, man, from the information that they're getting and the experiences that they're actually having. It doesn't, it doesn't line up, man. It doesn't, there's no balance. There's it throws off your equilibrium internally, man. And this is why people live in a perpetual state of stress and and they're trying to out this grind and hustle culture, man. We're trying to outwork the dissonance. We're trying to level the playing field somehow. And and the and it's like quicksand, man. The more you fight and struggle to get out of it, the the more you sink into it. And and then the next thing you know, man, people like, you gotta rest, you gotta calm down, you gotta man, I'll rest when I'm dead. I'll, you know, and this and that. That's the craziest stuff in the world, man, to have come out of your mouth, bro. But this is what we living in. This is man, I have never seen
Being Dismissed And Not Believed
SPEAKER_04a group of young people look so tired in my life, man.
SPEAKER_08Yeah. It's overworked, stressed, overworked, stressed out, chasing, chasing the rabbit, bro. That you'll never catch it never catch. Yeah, never catch.
SPEAKER_04Never catch.
SPEAKER_08And so you're exhausted, you know. And I like I'm looking at my daughter, bro. Just she got a job, and then when she gets home, she she doing DoorDash, you know, to the wee hours in the morning. Yeah, to make ends meet.
SPEAKER_04Just to make them meet, dude. And just to make them meet, bro.
SPEAKER_08The average, man, look, I don't know what you man. They said the average starter home nowadays is all a half a million dollars, bro.
SPEAKER_04Absolutely, absolutely.
SPEAKER_08I got my first home for 80.
SPEAKER_04Right, right, right. Very, very true, bro. Very true. It is let me tell you experience I had at the pump, man, uh about the about two weeks ago, you know, that where it really like, I'm like, what? You know, man, you know, it gets to the point, bro. I go, you need to put gas in your car. You go, you fill it up, man. You know, back in the day, you know, I'm like, you have a set amount of money, like I'm gonna put $20 in my tank. You know, this and that. But now, man, you know, I'm grown, bro. So I I I deal with grown stuff, you know, grown folks stuff. So I'm like, man, look, if I gotta get gas, bro, I'm filling up my tank. So I just go. You know how you fill your tank up, run up in the gas station, come out, you know, like it's gonna stop, you know, when it hit the fool, it's gonna click, it's over, you know, whatever. And uh, you know, you look at the pump, man. You might see $40, $40 or something, depending on where you were, you know, and in the gas, dude. So I drive a, you know, I drive a Jeep, man, a Cherokee. So I said, I'm about to run up in here, you know, grab me a little something, and then I'm gonna come out, you know, and then I'll just finish the transaction. Dude, I came out to get it the pump still going, bro. And I'm like, look, it was 90 something dollars. I was like, what yeah, man, what bro? And it was still running. I'm I didn't went into the cast thing.

Oh, yeah, it would have passed a hundred dollars, dude. I was like, it's no way I'm doing that. I was like, my my mentor wouldn't even allow me to let that happen, dude. I just stopped the pump. I was like, you got to be kidding me, man. And for what, dude? And for what? And for what? Because we beefing with folk, man. Cause we in conflict, you know.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, let's get on.
unknownLet's get on.
SPEAKER_05Let's
America’s Ideals Versus Lived Reality
SPEAKER_05go, man.
SPEAKER_08Christianity. We go back to Christy, man, because like I was comparing Christy to the flag thing. Um, yeah, the ideas of the America. Man, Christianity is like a theological gumbo made by Constantine. Yeah, okay, okay. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for putting that in there.
SPEAKER_06So I didn't know you wanted to get involved with the discussion, Mr. Helper. Wanted to get in the discussion, Mr. Helper. Remember that movie? You remember that one?
SPEAKER_08What's wrong with back to school with uh Rodney Dangersfield? Oh he interjected and then uh remember uh the I can't think that the comedian used to always yell. My name is Sam Kennison.
SPEAKER_00You know, we've been driving out here every day with your food for like the last uh I don't know, 30, 40 years. And we were driving out here a day across the desert, and it occurred to us there wouldn't be world hunger if you people would live with the food.
SPEAKER_06Oh, you I didn't know you wanted to get into discussion, Mr. Helper.
SPEAKER_08You start yelling at him about Vietnam. I'm gonna have to go check that out there. Oh back to school is one of the is a classic. All right, back to back to okay, all right. So back to school, back to school. All right, um we're on Constantine, so we're about to talk about Constantine, and I'm gonna play a video for you, people. Check this out.
SPEAKER_02He needed every religious group, Christians, pagans, sun worshipers, all supporting his rule. So instead of choosing one religion, he blended them all. He merged Christianity with the Roman Empire, and in doing so, merged Christian celebrations with pre-existing pagan ones. The resurrection of Christ got folded into spring fertility festivals. This is all you can do your research. And the hybrid that came out the other side was presented to the world as Christianity. Jesus had a name for this kind of thing, Mark 8 and 15. Then he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod. The leaven of Herod using political influence to infiltrate and corrupt the people of God.
SPEAKER_04Wow. That's it, man. Dude, if we don't see that going on today, wow, wow.
SPEAKER_08We can say goodbye.
SPEAKER_04I said it all right there, dude.
SPEAKER_08Man, people guy, you gotta get that. That is the truth. And he as that as as exactly what he said, look it up, it's there. Look it up, anything that we say, look it up as well. Look it up.
SPEAKER_04Absolutely. We're not coming out of no, you know, mystical bag, man. This stuff
Christianity And The Pain Of Dissonance
SPEAKER_04is absolutely, you know, fact-checkable, fact-checkable, you know. Wow, wow. What do you think about that, man?
SPEAKER_08You know, I'm always on Constantineck. I'm always on it. You are, you are he on the list. He he that dude, the the other dude, and Sylvester, and Sylvester, Robert Sylvester.
SPEAKER_02When you say teenage, how are we talking?
SPEAKER_04Girls who are teenage. Them the three. Them your big three. Them your big three.
SPEAKER_08Man, that's that's the bad trinity right there. Oh man, yeah. Man, I wish I was Jason Staphen, bro. I tell you.
SPEAKER_01You aware this is a criminal outfit? Scamming the weakest in our society, stealing everything they have. Do you know that's who you work for?
SPEAKER_08Lord, you can't be turning. So I just want to turn to Jason. And be in a room with all three of them homies.
SPEAKER_07You can't just laugh at you. Oh, and you're right.
SPEAKER_08I know, man. I know what you mean, bro.
SPEAKER_05I know what you mean.

SPEAKER_04But yeah, I don't know. That I pray for them, but I don't know. Hey, man, you know, and that's okay. You know what I'm saying? It's it's okay. Because, man, people need that. When you're when you're making decisions, man, that are affecting the lives of other people, and you're in a position of influence, man, like Constantine was king, bro. So all your stuff is affecting everybody. We're still reeling from the effect. Of Constantine and what he did. We're still reeling from those effects, man. And you know.
SPEAKER_08Ultimate setback.
SPEAKER_04Dude.
SPEAKER_08The ultimate setback.
SPEAKER_04Absolutely, man. Because that, and that was the man, dude. It's so much stuff that if we don't get the foundation of it, man, we're at the point now, dude, that we have to rip up the the foundations that's been laid, man, and re you know, on and not obviously to the core, because Christ is the true foundation.
SPEAKER_08You're not saying it's the Bible, are you?
SPEAKER_04No. What you stripping it back down to the foundation. Let me put it that way. We don't have to rip up the found because the foundation is Christ. Can't no more person lay another foundation. But the stuff that we done built on top of it, that stuff, man, we have got it. And this is what they're calling it. They're saying you're seeing a great deconstruction happening in Christianity. And not and not just Christianity, but in society, period, the gatekeeping is over. And this is why this is why people are having trying to control the information, man. Because now with all this open sourcing and you can get all this information for yourself. People if the current administrations and the way people are trying to recapture control of the information, you need to start digging into it right now and not take for granted that this is gonna always be available. You know, I mean, do all your research and stuff while it's there right now because folk are trying to systematically erase this stuff, this the the censure sit uh censure sit well, how do you say that? Censorship, yeah, not the censor, censure, yeah, yeah, dude. They're not just trying to keep see censorship means I'm just trying to keep you for,
Constantine And Political Christianity
SPEAKER_04you know, some things that you can't say, but I can't do anything about them. Censuring is they trying to get rid of it, bro. We try we're trying to control uh and set up a whole different narrative and erase his history and put up in its place some some new thing, man, that that ain't true, just but just founded on lies. And if we don't wake up to that, man, you know, it's like you you said woke is a bad thing. They're trying to make that a bad thing. Oh, you woke.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you woke, yeah, yes, and I ain't never going back to being what I was before, never.
SPEAKER_04My eyes have seen the glory, and once I'm woke, I'm not going back to sleep, bro. You're not about to feed me all this stuff, like we were talking about the itis, you know, you get all the carbs. You're not about to speed feed my mentor all these little fake carbs and everything that you're trying to give me to put me back to sleep, dude. Not doing it.
SPEAKER_08And just like our people, man, you know, uh back in the day, man. Uh, you know, the system had everybody against everybody. So when you when you so when you have a person like start reading a book, then you got the people like, oh, who you think you are? You think you uppity? Man, no, I'm trying to educate myself. How's that bad? How's that bad? So, yeah, people, the information's out there, and you're talking about the censorship, and not only that, man.
SPEAKER_04Uh, you were able to just say that, just let it roll off your man.
SPEAKER_08The corporations, the government, they all want us so dependent, they're trying to take everything out the tangible CDs, the tangible VHS, all that, man. And so, yeah, you get you get these streaming services and you pay a monthly service for it, they can take it away from you at any moment. So, what you gonna do then, right? You know what I'm saying? I can man, I I I got a basement full of CDs, DVDs, you know. Um, you know, because you don't know what happened. Uh what's going what could happen, and um it's it's a lot of that stuff, man. The music, people not even owning owning music anymore, right? Can't even manage they they stopped the video games, you know. I guess I forget what company said they're not gonna even go sell any more video games, so everything's gonna be downloaded online, yeah.
SPEAKER_04And it's like absolutely, man.
SPEAKER_08Nobody's gonna be able to own anything, and then then there's no seeds in the fruit. Oh man, so they can they can, and that's very diabolical.
SPEAKER_04So I was just about to say that, man.
SPEAKER_08Yes, they can do whatever to this fruit or vegetables, and what can you do? Like, you know, uh, so like right now, uh the best thing is grab you some seeds, man.
SPEAKER_04So you can't need to they try to get to the point you can't even grow your own stuff, man. They want to take the seeds out.
SPEAKER_08Uh yeah, take the seeds out, man. And then, like, then the thing about it, your body, and that I'm gonna get a little deep, little nerdy on you. Your body doesn't really recognize these hybrids. Oh, ain't no doubt. Oh man, the life is in the seed, yes, you know what I'm saying? You know, that's it's it's all all about seeds and watering them and planting them, and you taking the seed out of there. What I mean, uh, your body just don't recognize that what is this, you know? It's a it's synthetic almost.
SPEAKER_04Absolutely. Uh, you just mean fat chemicals, man. And and dude, you what do you think you're doing to the earth? The earth was was made to grow the seeds, it's it's supposed to have seeds in it, and when you deprive, there is something that the seed gives back into the earth that the earth needs to stay strong and do what it's doing and what it was created to do, to bring forth. And when you deprive something from being able to do what it was created to do, you start getting a lot of dysfunction with it. And you're talking about you're looking at all this stuff, talking about what we're doing to the atmosphere and everything. Earth is what we stand on. You're gonna sit here and deprive the earth of doing what it was created to do, what what father created it to do?
SPEAKER_08Thank you, man. And I'm gonna give a salute to uh Woody Harrelson. You know, he's he's he's he's in a movement trying to uh trying
Deconstruction And Information Control
SPEAKER_08to uh bring back soil, good soil, trying to replenish, replenish the earth and soil, bro. Wow, and you can look it up as a documentary. He's he's doing this this new movement, trying to put the soil first. He you know, he trying to show importance. Yeah, man. Come on.
SPEAKER_04That's that's man, that's kingdom thinking right there.
SPEAKER_08Yes, that is that is good news there.
SPEAKER_04That's good news right there, man. Dude, there's somebody's thinking from that perspective, and and the ones who've been given the kingdom of God and supposed to be operating in that is through this Constantine gumbo that has reverberated his through our history, is their focus is getting out of here, leaving the earth, and just abandoning the very thing that God gave us the kingdom to rule the earth with. And Christianity wants to say, hey, we getting out of here, and then Jesus is coming back, and he's gonna make all this stuff right.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, it's so bad. We got to get up out of here.
SPEAKER_04Oh man, oh man, dude, this is not, this is not good news, as you said. This is not gospel in any form or fashion. And the people that are actually taking, you know, uh strides to do things to actually be fruitful on this earth and replenish it and do it. We're looking at them like, you know, we're we're calling them earthers and and all of this stuff, like it's a bad thing. Like, let me tell you, if you were born on this planet, you're an earthling. I don't care who you are, people, you were made to be here or you wouldn't be here. Angels aren't created here. Why? Because they're not supposed to, this is not their home. This is this is not their home. Heaven's creatures are when God created them for heaven, they live in heaven. If you're born in down here in this earth, on this in this dimension, on this plane, this is where God intended for you to be. Well, it ain't a layover. We ain't stuck, we're not on, we're we're not on a delayed flight. Waiting to get out of here, bro.
SPEAKER_08The sea cushion may be used as a flotation demand. I want to read the scripture. Zachariah 14, 9. The Lord will be king over the whole earth.
unknownThank you.
SPEAKER_08On that day, there will be one Lord in his name, the only name. The Lord be king over the whole earth, whole earth, bro. Come on, man. What are we what are we talking about trying to make this place? Man, it's bad down there. We got to get out of here.
SPEAKER_04We got to get out, you know. Oh man, you know, we're getting out of here now, man.
SPEAKER_08We got dysentery, we got smoke, inhalation.
SPEAKER_04This is terrible. The weather patterns are shifting, and bro, and this stuff, man, this diabolical shit. First of all, to call something tornado alley is just crazy in of itself. Yes, yes. You know, just you just inviting, you know. I'm just giving you a straight pathway, you know, of tornadoes that we expect to come down this direction every year during a certain season. That's crazy. But what's even crazier, bro, is they're trying to get us to adopt, and they say in Michigan and all of in the Midwest, they're calling us the new Tornado Alley. And I don't want that. Folk already starting to buy into it, dude. Folk already starting to buy into it, man. I put a post up on Facebook, man, pleading for people. I wrote it like it was a epistle. I said, please, the Michiganians, the all Michigan, please do not adopt this vocabulary, this speech of starting to call our state in the Midwest where we are, the new Tornado Island. Because they said we've had more tornadoes, you know, with the climate shift and everything. We had more tornadoes at the beginning of this year than we had during the whole year in previous years and all that stuff. I said, okay, so that that's a seed of something that's trying to be planted. So now you're gonna set your expectations towards it because you experienced one season of it, and now you're getting ready to give your mouth to declaring this to be the new tornado alley.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, don't make something permanent that's kind of that's uh temporary.
SPEAKER_04That was a temporary situation, you're gonna turn it and make it a permanent event, dude. Okay, it's an outlier work, dude.
SPEAKER_08It's an outlier, okay? It's one year. Right.
SPEAKER_04It was one, right? It's right.
Digital Dependency And Seeds Without Ownership
SPEAKER_04But if you look, y'all talk about doing the reading. Let me tell you something. Our words is what dictates and controls this world. Our words, James talks about this world, the our words we speak can put the course of nature on fire. We can set it on fire, dude. By just the things that we speak and say.
SPEAKER_08The Bible tells us about our words, man. You can't speak stuff.
SPEAKER_04You cannot, bro. Death and life is in the power of the time, bro. Period. You speak it and you and you get enough people saying it, yeah, it becomes so. Declaration. Declaration, bro. Why? Because we're kings, man. Because we have the authority here. Kings and queens have power and authority, bro. We're supposed to be using our words to subdue and dominate, not to sit here and just give all free access to chaos and may have. And and do we opened up to talk about to show how when we're on the same same accord, how we can shift things like instantly. We opened up talking about daylight savings time, right? All we do as a people is we coordinate as a society to change the time forward or backward, and we do it together. And it happens. And now it stays light longer or it stays dark longer based on what we have decided to do as a community together.
SPEAKER_08Poor Alaska, man. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know how that's gonna affect them.
SPEAKER_04Dude, that's just ridiculous.
SPEAKER_08They barely they they uh I I follow this guy, this this brother, man, on TikTok. And because I'm fascinated with Alaska. Alaska is a beautiful place, yeah. Oh man, gorgeous. And um he uh he was like he was showing the sunset and it was the sunset, it was midnight, bro. The sun was setting at midnight, dude. And he said, he said, he was like, look, he said, we get an hour and a half or hour 45 minutes of darkness, if that's what you want to call it.
SPEAKER_04He said it's like dusk, it never really just get totally dark.
SPEAKER_08I can't imagine what's gonna how that's gonna affect them. Oh man, and it's like you got you got to think about others, man.
SPEAKER_04You know, oh shuttle boxes. But why why do we care about that, man? Why do we care about why would we care about what's happening to other people, man? We you know, and that's the crazy stuff. We we see ourselves as being disconnected, man. It's it's no, we're not. We were we're not, there's no disconnection between us at all. Anything what I do, and this is what and people, you have to get this mindful of yourself that you're so important in the grand scheme of father's purpose and design that what you do affects everybody else on this planet. You you don't even begin to know the ripple effect of every conscious or unconscious act you do. If if somehow we could get a pick something that could show a decision that I made today that affects somebody all the way over the other side of this planet, it would be mind-blowing. It would make us afraid of the actual authority that we actually have. It's not that what I affected affected you like personally, the way I can speak something on you directly, but I can do or not do something that would have affected this, that would have affected that, that would have affected that, that would have affected that, and it and it just keeps going. And if we're all have that authority, why do you think, why do you think that the Lord constantly said, be of one mind, be on the same accord, have the same faith, one Lord, one faith. We think this is just rhetoric. You think it's just no, because
Earth Stewardship And Soil As Kingdom Work
SPEAKER_04I'm telling you, I don't I don't gotta get into all of the breakdowns and the wiring, everything, man. I if I just tell everybody to put your put your clock back one hour, I don't have to get into all the nuances of what that does, but it does affect everything, it affects everything. Why are we so negligent, man, when we come to our existence, man? Our lives.
SPEAKER_05I don't get it, man. We're so negligent, bro. It's poking the bear.
SPEAKER_07Like leave well enough alone.
SPEAKER_08Like, what is the big deal? Right, it's an hour, you know, and I get it. I get it. The the the spring, uh not yeah, the spring for uh spring forward, it's an isn't a really adjustment. It is an adjustment, but now check this out. I'm I'm glad that I'll be going on afternoon shit because it's gonna be staying dark longer, right? Right, I mean, light, light longer, light longer, right? Because now, like oh in my old area, I had to be at work at five, so that means I was getting up at three. So I'm going into bed by eight o'clock. The sun is just shining, bro. And I'm like, I gotta put shades on to try to get dark, got the darkening, uh curtains in the room, got the fan on, got to cover my eyes just to even go to sleep. And this is gonna be an issue for a lot of Americans now because the time shift, and yeah, absolutely, you know, and and it'll be darker when you're taking your kids to school and they outside, they're gonna be at the bus stop in the dark, and you know, things and that's gonna raise heightened nefarious, nefarious things happening.
SPEAKER_04Right. So it it is and it causes again, now it's an unnecessary concern for the parents and the people that's gotta do it. You know, it it if they let their children go to the bus stop or whatever, now they gotta be concerned they're gonna go in the dark, and it that caused different stress levels and things like that. It's just the little subtleties, man, of things that change that we don't recognize the effects that it has, you know, on us in these different, in these different nuances, man. We we are so wonderfully and fearfully made, man, that we require a an expected rhythm. And when you come in and disrupt that, and you also gotta give me some kind of context to put it on for me to recalibrate myself to make this acceptable and make it make you gotta make me understand it when people say what's your reason for doing it? Why are you doing it? I I need to understand this, man.
SPEAKER_08And both sides to both sides of the argument, right? Exactly and against, absolutely, absolutely, and then we all make a conscious decision to go either way, but you don't have a right to determine this is what we're doing, and and it's just because of what for what reason, and the and the main guy I'm looking at is that what that one dude, and he's like, I'm for it, I'm just bringing, I'm gonna sign it.
SPEAKER_06Okay, Mr. Helper. You want to get into both the discussion, Mr. Helper.
SPEAKER_04This is this is bro, this is real, man. And and and in the way, and and I love how you put that and keep alluding back to that because here's the thing Holy Spirit is called the helper. When
Tornado Alley Language And The Power Of Words
SPEAKER_04a person, but he's coming, and it says that he'll lead and then guide you into all truth. The Holy Spirit doesn't just come and and and get involved with you and just just follow me and just do what I say. It says it says Jesus said he will show you things to come. I'm gonna I'm gonna show you why. I'm gonna lead you to this truth, I'm gonna reveal it to you, and then I'm gonna explain it to you. I'm gonna let you know why you need to do this. It why don't we that's helping, man? You gotta give me something that as as as the as the the prophetess is in Vogue said, you gotta give me something that I can feel, man.
SPEAKER_09Yes.
SPEAKER_04To let me know this is real, bruh. I gotta I gotta be able to to have something I can tangibly. Faith is not blind, man. It's not just blind following. By faith, we understand. The scripture says, we understand that just lives by faith. How can I live by something that I don't understand?
SPEAKER_08But then you gotta won't understand until they experience the circumstance, right? Uh, like this, like this morning. I'm I'm Googling. I this guy, he's reputable, he he's from Detroit, he does mute movie reviews, and I and I respect his knowledge when it comes to movies. I love he's he's he's never missed anything that he says, so but the biggest thing he one thing he has missed, and it's the huge, it's the biggest thing ever. He said, I can't believe you people believe in the hippie that walked on water. I had to cut some off, bro. Like, but you know, like, but you know what? He can say that because you know why I'm sure his health is good and everything is well.
SPEAKER_04Right.
SPEAKER_08Absolutely.
SPEAKER_04Once you get that that that diagnosis, yeah, you might go looking for that hippie. Right. Do it it is literally the circle of life when it comes to that living in that that ignorance and that detachment from spiritual reality, man. It's dude, how in the world can we understand? I I live with an imagination. I live with the capacity to believe for the impossible, but then it's not possible. It can't be real. You know what I'm saying? What is that doing to me as a person, as an individual? I have this capacity to believe this way, but it's ignorant to do so because that's not real. That's man, do you know the level of of confusion that that you are causing me to live in? And I have no and I as as as Michael Jackson said in the whiz, you can't win. I can't get even. I can't break even and I can't get out the game. You can't win, you can't break even and you can't get out. Bruh, what life is that, man? What kind of dissonance is that causing within me, bro?
SPEAKER_08And I'm looking at this guy, he's successful with what he's doing.
SPEAKER_04According to the world, according to the world's success. Yeah.
SPEAKER_08But he's using his talent. He got the gift, he got the gift to Gab.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_08And he got he has a lot of followers, and people are tuning in to hear what he has to say. And not knowing that, man, you're getting helped by that
Faith Requires Understanding And Closing
SPEAKER_08hippie that you thought about you don't believe it's a good thing.
SPEAKER_04Giving you the very breath to breathe. No. It is allowing you to dissing that way.
SPEAKER_08Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Dude, it's it's it's mind blowing, bro. It's mind blowing. It's mind blowing.
SPEAKER_08I think we should end here. Sorry, people. We're gonna get to this James. We're gonna we're gonna promise you the James.
SPEAKER_04The Paul and James doctor.
SPEAKER_08We gotta do that. We're gonna do that. We said that. And we we promised before and um something and we didn't come and fulfill it. So we're gonna stick to this. Yeah. Cause uh the people that's like clamoring for and want to hear what we gotta say about it, and it also gave me a chance to do some more research. I did get some, I want to get some more foundation scriptures, but I got to I got some stuff, you know. I I was starting, but I didn't finish my no, that's cool. But I came across that video about the uh theological gumbo, and I was like, man, let's get this bro.
SPEAKER_04That's because that's real time. That's that that's what we're living in right now, man. The effects of Constantine of one man's decision, how how it's affected this whole world through the anals of history, bro, the corridors of history, and we're still reeling from that.
SPEAKER_08Did you say anals?
SPEAKER_05Or should I say the annals? You gotta click that out. I'm not the humor. Right, right. I love it. Right, we will give it. We love you.
