What begins as a casual podcast episode transforms into a profound spiritual journey after a listener shares her devastating story of loss. Twenty years ago, her 11-year-old son was killed in a shooting accident, and since then, her family has experienced what she describes as the devil's continued work in their lives – including miscarriages, health issues, and generational struggles that seem almost supernatural in their timing and nature.

The hosts respond with remarkable vulnerability, exploring the very real spiritual warfare many of us face without fully recognizing it. "If you think the devil's on top of you, then you better get the Lord on top of you," one host observes, cutting straight to the heart of how we navigate life's darkest moments. This statement becomes the touchstone for a wide-ranging conversation about faith, evil, and the unseen forces that shape our experiences.

From there, the conversation ventures into fascinating territory – ancient biblical texts, giants who once walked the earth, angels who interacted with humans, and how these stories connect to modern spiritual struggles. The hosts skillfully weave between theological depth and practical wisdom, making complex spiritual concepts accessible through storytelling and personal reflection. They discuss the Book of Enoch, the Nephilim, and other biblical accounts often overlooked in conventional religious discussion.

What makes this episode particularly compelling is its unflinching look at human nature. The hosts break down how people operate from either selfishness or active malice, describing how "the tyranny of evil men" manifests in everyday interactions. Their candid admissions about their own battles with negative thinking patterns (what one calls "neurosis") creates an intimate connection with listeners facing similar struggles.

The episode concludes with a soul-stirring rendition of "Amazing Grace," perfectly encapsulating the journey from spiritual bondage to freedom through faith. Whether you're wrestling with personal tragedy, questioning the nature of good and evil, or simply seeking deeper spiritual understanding, this conversation offers both comfort and challenge for the journey ahead. Join us for an episode that might just change how you view the spiritual dimensions of your own life story.

Podcast Introduction

You better grab a hold of something close up and grab a hold of you and don't ask a question if you can't take the truth , cause it might be a question and you can't take the truth Because it might be a reflection of you .

Earl

We need to turn this shit down . Boy , I'd be loud . Well , I'm up in it today .

Zack

Hey check one hell . Yeah , oh , you're good . Are we talking about the same thing ?

Earl

no , but that album , for all the crude and stuff on it , you know that easy . Yeah , it's got some killer bass lines and shit , oh yeah , music on it . It's like the way they sampled it and the shit they put together , it's like crazy .

Zack

That's why I like yeah I know I like the music more effective . Yeah , but the word you know a lot of it's like , it's like that song .

Earl

That song is crazy . But there's some other shit that's like damn , it's probably , but anyway . Nah , that's why he put shit together the bass lines , the shit , the undertone . Okay , let's see if we can hear this . What is it going ? Some feedback ? Oh yeah , go for that . You're ready to hear this zach yeah , I'm listening feedback from uh , so not listening up .

Listening to your podcast today with Sharon , I just want to tell Zach or you guys you know , about the devil being on you . It's kind of crazy . It's been for me 20 years this May . It was the day after school got out for the summer and my 11-year-old son , his step-grandfather on my husband's side was just being stupid and shot him and then didn't call 911 . Instead they loaded him up and brought him to me in the car . Anyway , it's been 20 years and Josh is my oldest son . Both of them I had there when I lived in Chillicothe there in Vernon when he got . Well , they're only a year apart and whenever Josh has any kind of milestone , it's hard .

Even when Josh got married . Ellen Gilbert , I have other children .

Zack

That's who it is .

And you know Zach was talking about trying to be happy . I'm always trying to be happy , but I'm always feeling guilty too . But you know , it's been 20 years and I mainly just have to think about him as his present time and not dwell on him not being here . But I wanted to say that one of the sad things that's happened to my oldest son , joshua him and Jeremiah was only a year and a half 15 months apart is when him and his wife got married , they had a miscarriage on the same day that Jeremiah died the anniversary of A few years .

Earl

What happened ?

A few years later they had a little girl and she was fine . And then they had a second little girl in 2020 . And they didn't tell me till the day she was born . But they decided to name her and honor Jeremiah , so they named her Maya . So her name is Maya Grace and anyway she was born . Everything we thought was great . But she had to go back to the hospital in a day and if you ever get on my Facebook or whatever , I don't know if we're friends , but now we're going into three years and she's got a lot of issues . She's got a lot of . She has a feeding tube and it just she's got a lot of issues , she's got a lot of , she has a feeding tube , and it just bothers me , it hurts me that her name is Maya and I think it's the devil , you know , just working on my mind like that . I love her and she's great , she's wonderful and me and her are real close , but it's just like another , as Zach's saying , like you know , the devil is just by .

Anyway , I just want to tell Zach you know , I know what you're going through , zach , and I just want to tell you it's just , there's not anything you can say , like you said .

Zack

It never gets better .

I've been thinking about you and your mom , your family . I love your mom and back in high school we had the same birthday and me and her talk on Facebook or used to . So y'all been in my prayers and I think about y'all a lot and I think this podcast is awesome . Anyway , I hope y'all have a great day . Talk to y'all later , bye , bye .

This was a message , yeah that's pretty cool , I want to clarify I don't hate that her name is Maya . I feel like the fact that we named her Maya , we Cursed her . It's as if we set that up for the devil to attack her . I guess is what I meant . So I just wanted to clarify that . It's not that I hate her name being Maya after Jeremiah . I just thought how that might have sounded terrible . But anyway , I think maybe y'all understand what I'm trying to say .

Zack

Thanks .

Earl

Ma .

Zack

Damn . I mean there's just some things that can't be explained , and that's one of them right there .

Let's say I thought this was best to get deep . Yeah , boy , I could get deep on it I thought it was about to do that .

Earl

Just ask me , I was feeling it . I was feeling what she said that's what she said , she didn't say that it's a

Zack

short struggle , I'm going to get in trouble Did she ?

Earl

lie to you . Hey what , I don't care she lied .

Zack

It didn't hurt my feelings , she lied .

Earl

I know that's what she was doing . She was trying to pump you up , right ? Then I was almost getting some wicked air . Yeah , you can still air that I you know what I'm saying .

Zack

That's what I'm saying she messaged something about oh , it's so awesome Y'all can say what's on your mind . I'm like , hey , I don't think you want to always know what's on our mind , don't open that door . We won't be talking about how many .

Interesting Things you just don't know about your teacher . That could be Things you don't know about your teacher .

Earl

Time out .

Zack

We're going to take a time out .

Earl

There was a day and age this show must be paused for middle prosperity . Break .

Zack

Middle prosperity .

Earl

There was a time and a day and age For that , but that time has passed .

Zack

Yeah .

Earl

Shoot . The day and age Is no more .

Zack

Sometimes , hey , until you get it over with , sometimes it'll never pass .

Earl

Well , I hear that that's why , you gotta keep back . That's why . That's why people question these things like podcasts , when we don't bring shit up .

Zack

Jerry Luke said Baby , careful what you say . Zach put it on his podcast . I started laughing no shit . I want to thank Sumner Colleen , jerry Luke Smoker for proudly listening to Be Easy , be Easy Podcast that means , they listen , that's exactly right . Oh , and she told me how she really she thanked me and to tell y'all , thank you for getting Sharon on here , you know , because they're cousins .

Earl

Yeah .

Zack

All right yeah .

Earl

Well , that's kind of a .

Zack

And she said I'll never forget what your daddy talking to me , what my daddy said the night of the Draper's viewing of the four , whatever what , did he say . He said I just can't imagine and I hope something like that never happens to me .

Earl

Well , you can't imagine that dude .

Zack

Nobody can imagine it .

Zack

No , that's surprising . Don't want to Hell , no .

Earl

It's haunting that she remembers that . You know what I mean . I don't know what else to say about it .

Zack

Some people only I'm like that remember certain things about honing on that one thing it's connected I just can't remember how things can be connected in so many different ways .

Earl

Well , they are everything's interwoven in a way you can't even imagine it's a matter as well . It's a matter of you finding those ways that are connected and discovering that and how you know what I mean . It's hard matter of you finding those ways that are connected and discovering that and how you know what I mean . It's hard to do ahead of time .

Zack

You know it's like it's impossible . So many of my songs that I wrote way before apply so much to what my situation is now .

Earl

But you didn't do that when you wrote them . Huh , you weren't applying it when you wrote them . Oh no , Hell no .

Zack

Wouldn't have thought in my mind like that .

Earl

But right , you know , but I mean it's like uh , so many songs have been like , damn , that's well , that's with a lot of the materials . That way , dude , it comes , it changes over time , whether you change you didn't change or not but it changes to you as you revisit the meaning . Maybe you know . Well , it's like the bible , dude . People read it over and over , right . I mean how many people read it ? But you read it over and over , right ? I mean how many people have read it ? But you read it again . You get something different out of it .

Zack

Yeah , every time .

Earl

Because it speaks to you different as you are different . That's right , I found out too . They call it the big book . It's the blue book or whatever for AA . It's got these stories of people and I tell you it's crazy , that way too , dude , I'd read it and I'd read it some months later , after I've read some other shit , and it reads different , like it don't mean nothing to you , and then it does , or vice versa , it means something different . It's crazy . You just gotta do it over and over the same shit . That don't seem like you ought to do that , but I tell you what the Bible's the ultimate of that as far as you read it , you don't know what it means .

Earl

It comes to you later , or it comes to you different , it's like totally , totally different point of view . It's like I didn't even think that , or you know , it extracts you it's , it's a it's .

Zack

That's why , as part of that's just part of the magic book .

Zack

It's magic , I mean really . I mean we've talked about that before about that's the only way to really get through this life . Oh man , yeah , but please , please , believe in .

Earl

If you don't believe , seek help well , yeah , there you go , find it yeah , you have to seek it .

Zack

But you have to seek it , that's right , you call me up , I'll help you out , yeah we'll help you seek it I'm dead what was that one ?

Earl

you had one called fisher a man what was that ?

Zack

that's . We talked about the same stuff , yeah , yeah , yeah , you know , like I said , I've got a best one . I talked about how ? Same stuff , that kind of stuff . What was it ? What came out ? Yeah , you know , like I said , I've got a best one . I talk about giving people a ride from my house being broke down and stuff .

Earl

Yeah , yeah , that's all you can do . Sometimes you've got to be out there and sometimes they find you .

Zack

Yeah Right , absolutely .

Earl

A lot of times that you don't do it bad things happen .

Zack

Yeah , you know , I say that , you know , and I asked specifically and he answered it and I walked out of there and blew it off . Like you know , I still didn't , and then Well , you ain't the only one dude .

Earl

I think there's things we're all .

Zack

If it was like you know if it could be . You know , do as I say , not as I do .

Earl

Yeah

Biblical Stories and Hidden Truths

Earl

, that might apply , we all do shit like that . Oh yeah , I'm just saying it's hard to do that , dude . I think I said that too Like as far as I can always figure out somebody . You know , I'm not saying that arrogantly or whatever .

Earl

But I but uh but I can . You know what I mean . I can't figure out my own shit . I know it . They call it . I've seen that it's called a searchlight soul . You're the , you're the beacon . You can tell people . They come to you even . Yeah . But you know what ? You can't fix your shit for nothing . Nathan Red alert . Nathan Interesting .

Zack

I mean , that's for real , You're exactly right about that . Like moths to a flame .

Earl

But that's a lot of people .

Zack

That's a deep Because people want to believe . I mean people .

Earl

I believe that about a lot of stuff , man . As far as I've seen people in other positions of that .

Zack

I mean , as I've seen people in other positions of that , I mean I've got . Did I talk about one of that ? Does that episode talk about when the girls had COVID , when we had COVID ? That's a good episode , I think .

Earl

I think that was a .

Zack

God , one that would probably be one of that probably needs to be put on there .

Earl

It's coming up . Yeah yeah , I'm just kind of working through . That's what I was looking at today . He sent me how we need to do next and when .

Zack

I get to talk about God . I go to rambling , so you might think I'm Jerry Lee Lewis . Well , you know what I'm saying . I had some people talk . They liked when you talked about that . Yeah , I've had lots of people ask me why I'm not talking about that .

Zack

Well In time , yeah , oh , yeah . Well , just story here and there . But you know , it's just some things that you can only put so many things off to coincidence . You know , like I said man , I got to check on that saying cause I feel like I'm saying it wrong and the very first thing when I get home I turn YouTube on . That's the very first thing that was said . You know it's a first man was Adam . Seventh from Adam was Enoch . Enoch . I used to say seventh from Enoch was Methuselah , but that's not the saying . I've said it for like years because that's what I thought I heard when I was a kid , instead of going back and looking it up and seventh man was from Adam , adam's first man .

Zack

Obviously . Seventh man from Adam is Enoch . Enoch was Methuselah's father . Methuselah was Noah's grandfather , muthu's love was noah's right grandfather and you know , that is if you want to do . The time between adam and uh noah is like thousands yeah , just within those .

Earl

Yeah , because yeah .

Zack

But you know , it's a God , told Enoch , when Methuselah dies , I'm destroying the world . And that's why he let Methuselah live so long . It's because he loved us so much . He just kept giving us chances and chances to change . And so when Methuselah died , methuselah's name means it's a phrase . People's names used to be in phrases . It's like break it down to our language , the Hibbili . It says his death shall bring . And he died seven days before the great flood . And he was the only one telling Noah the crazy man that hey , build an ark . And it's never even rained on the face of the earth . It's been raining , hey building an ark , and it's never even rained on the face of the earth .

Zack

It never rained , the heavens will rain from above . Water's from above and water's below . It never rained it just the dew was so thick it would go from there every morning and come back down . It wasn't , yeah , that's why it was even crazier . It's like a real fact .

Earl

I know that's what people don't even understand . He was saying it was going to rain and this was coming . You know how many people didn't believe him Because it didn't rain before that .

Zack

Yeah , that's why . That's why . What do you mean rain ? He's never seen that so much water is going to come out of the sky . Are you crazy ? They're not going to stop . And that's what happened . And they were begging to get on that ship .

They tried to get on it , matter of fact , that's why he locked it .

Zack

It was locked up . He had to keep the bloodline back pure , as we know .

Zack

That's it for real . That's exactly what happened .

Zack

It's like doubt you , peasants . There were too many recessive genes of angels . Genesis 1 , verse 6 , nehah Baalah . Elohim could not resist the daughters of the sons of man . Therefore , they went in and what came from them was the great warriors of old . And if you don't believe that giants didn't used to walk the face of the earth , you better check again . In 2014 , seymour , texas , was an 18-foot skeleton found . They did the math he weighed 2,500 pounds . It was in the paper one day , then just disappeared . Look .

Earl

I don't look it up . There you go , put it out there , look it up .

Zack

So if you don't believe that there was giants on the face of the earth , you're wrong . When he sent Israelites into the Philistines' camps and to see what they were , to send two spies and they came back and they said we are mere grasshoppers to their men . They really meant we are mere grasshoppers to their big-ass giants , I mean people like people . You can take what the Bible says .

I don't know , that's not what that meant .

Earl

But in that case , it's what it meant they did . There's some other stuff they ignore from that time . They find bones and stuff like that , other from the Philistines and stuff like that . They ignore it . They're like , okay , yeah .

Zack

World War I was basically a cover up for going and digging up every giant that was buried in the face of the earth , in Europe's continent and everything else . Did you know during World War I ? That's what they did . They went and dug up all these mounds . They started digging on these mounds because you don't bury a giant back in the day , you put dirt on top of them . Because who wants to bury that and dig that big asshole ?

Earl

You know what I'm saying . How dare they ?

Zack

You're trying to have the conspiracy . I'm telling you right there , man , that is , don't get me started , I know .

Zack

That's one that is a that's a you know I'm a firm believer . That's kind of crazy . Yeah , no , no , but there was .

Zack

There was other stuff . Greek mythology .

Earl

They have other stuff . As far is like it was just common knowledge that they've tried to bury okay so there's evidence , like I said , there's bones and everything else .

Zack

It was like well , you know it's greek mythology got all over the . Uh , it's not a continent , whatever the , the , you know , the island of greece , or whatever it is well , there was what .

Earl

You know what I'm saying greek mythology is .

Zack

They used to say there was . You know it's mythology , but you know because they worship zeus and all this other stuff .

Zack

Okay , but are you ?

Zack

telling me back in the day , all over this whole miles and miles and miles of country , what did they do ? They watched TV and somebody made it up . No bullshit .

Earl

Well , they did .

They embellish on that .

Zack

There's truth in every just kidding .

Earl

They did , but they've proven more and more of that in every piece you ever heard that saying there's always there's truth .

Zack

There's there's truth in every jk . So motherfucker says something to you and says hey , just kidding , there's truth in there somewhere . That's what they did . But even after hundreds and thousands of years of them thinking that was bullshit .

Earl

Yeah , they had proven more and more of it no , but they had proven more and more of it , like whatever they were , like oh oh , Troy was this place . Well , they went back there and they're like that shit didn't happen once . It happened like I don't know how many times over the past . Things aren't recorded , okay .

Zack

So I want you to think of this . You know , in times of revelations , the angel is going to come . There's an archangel who's going to come down , up these angels that have been buried in the face in the earth and cast them in the lake of fire . That's what our bible says . Okay , now what does greek mythology talk about ? Who's buried in the earth ? Who is it ? The 13 most fierce warriors ever , terrorist kids . You know what I'm saying . Blood fell from the sky and she , she became pregnant . She had 13 of the fiercest warriors ever . You know , there is a all the all . The ancient wonders of the world were all made by celestial beings . Now , you can't make me change my mind and ain't nobody ever told me that you know ancient aliens what do ?

Zack

you call them angels , call them aliens . I mean , that's the same thing .

Earl

Yeah , you're right , you're right , that's what I'm saying that's uh , it's hard , that's another crossover a lot of people believe that it's like these were some other celestial being yeah , they came down here and they what's the celestial being ? What's an angel ? Is it not a celestial being ? Is an angel exactly ?

Zack

but you know , it's like uh , uh , they went . Therefore , they went into them . And what came from the great words of old ? Therefore , they put genes in them or eggs in them .

Earl

Yeah , Well , there's some other . There's some lost books of the Bible as well that aren't accepted . Well , they took Enoch out of our text , you know . Enoch's . In the Hebrew text there's more .

Zack

Yeah , there's some other ones too . They're in hebrew text and there's some that are neither , because people don't that , they don't want you to hear what enoch had to say , because he , you know , he talks about the five different heavens and he talks about how this is for these the watchers .

Earl

He has the watchers absolutely .

Zack

That's the nabal hall of . It was the interbreeding .

Earl

It was the interbreeding of angels and people .

Zack

That's , you know , that's . That's all back in methuselah's time . God just let that go for a long time , because he created them those are , and the rule was you did not intertwine with .

Earl

That's a book . There's some other book too . Is he knocking ?

Zack

there's something else but you know he told you couldn't . So what happened is , these angels had kids with the daughters of the sons of man .

Earl

Yeah .

Zack

And that's where we learned all our knowledge . Like he started that this angel and they can even name you the names in this book .

Right . Talk about the name of the angels , the angels yes , and this angel was the one over sorcery .

Zack

This one was the one over growing crops . This one was the one over war . Some of that yeah . There's all sorts of stuff and he punished those , and the devil's not even the worst angel . I mean really , yeah , I don't know , there's more to the story , you're right .

Earl

There's more to the story and it's hard to say .

Zack

And it's hard to grasp .

Earl

Well , you're right , you're talking about the Book of Enoch . There's more than that too . There's several other books like that that are lost , I mean , they're not accepted like king dan's version .

Zack

That are right you know the bible does . You got to pay attention to what it's talking about . You know , I can't remember exactly . I'll look this up and I shouldn't even say it before I get started , but I'm going to .

Zack

Okay , there was a person that was , uh , picked up by two angels . This is the gist of the story . So he was picked up and he was taken to different places on that , you know , through egypt and all these places that were miles and miles and miles and miles apart , and every time he went to the next place he said he was physically unable to speak , or you know , you know , and , uh , he's talking about being on a ship . How they hit , how he went teleport , not teleported . But it's just the words that are said make you think that they picked him up , put him in the ship . Hey , let's go .

Zack

Let me show you something you know , let's go gone magic carpet ride yeah yeah , I would like to take one of them , as long as they brought me back yeah , right , wait a minute , you leave me here and if they just give me some of that , hey what ? I don't know what's the ride cost A little probing .

Earl

You know what I'm saying . That's what I'm talking about . Should I ?

Zack

be a guinea pig . Come on , take me up . I just want to see . Just let me see . I think that's happened more than once . Yeah , we get stuck talking about this .

Earl

Men in black , here we go , don't get me started . No , yeah , I'm a believer in that as well . That's as big a weird thing as , like I said , magic carpet . That's a way of explaining things that you can't put into words .

Zack

Yeah , absolutely , and you think that's crazy . People say this time on the face of the earth is the worst time ever . That's bullshit . Always , everyone , bullshit take a glimpse , everyone take a glimpse into the old testament and then you tell me that again . How about you go live five days in the old testament times and tell me that it's worse now than it was in well ?

Earl

how do you ?

Zack

it's like turn it in your head .

Earl

It's like it's always gonna be what's going . You can't figure out what's going on now sodom and gomorrah , you know well , I tell you what a lot of people don't realize . There's times , yeah , that's , you'll come back to , like that . I think people don't realize .

Giants, Angels and Ancient History

Earl

What was going on then was the same kind of thing , but there was like , yeah , they'll put specifics . There was debauchery that this was going on and this was going on and people , I don't know it sounds like a Vegas town , you know what .

Zack

I mean Like they were gambling Sodom and Gomorrah , there was all kinds of stuff .

Earl

I mean , they talk there was a Roman town .

Zack

that was all for gambling in the head . It was on the island , oh there's more than one .

Earl

Yeah , there's been some , it's the ?

Zack

when did the mount ? Whatever blew up and the lava came down on the town Pompeii . Pompeii was . That was what that was for . It was for all the rich folks , all the what's it called ?

Earl

It was the city , it was the urbanization .

Zack

It was like who's the guy that held the island is ? That's , what's the sign einstein , or yeah yeah , what's his name ? Uh , epstein , epstein , well that's what people think . Sophistication and yeah it gives you that uh image of that I mean , come on , the romans only killed jesus . Well , they didn't , we still draw ?

Earl

on them . As far as there's there , they were the way that told us the society catholic church , don't think about this that combined .

Zack

That's a combination of things yeah , it's scary and think about that well we're going to kill your god , but then we're going to believe .

Earl

You know they combined a couple things there that we could get , that's a whole . Oh yeah , you're gonna piss people . Yeah , we don't want to get really too much religion .

Zack

I mean , we believe what ? We believe in that's right , that's right . Absolutely . I not knocking anybody's religion . All religions lead back to the same thing . Yeah , you know there was a how you get there .

Six . There were six . What was the ?

Zack

Yeah , I mean I that .

Earl

You're talking about the Catholic Church , though . That's hard , no , no , no , I didn't mean it by lying , I was just . I try not to say nothing bad about them , but I'm not Catholic .

Zack

Pontius Pilate , you know what that means .

Earl

You know what Catholic means Catholic . Catholic means universal . It's the universal church . It was the first church . It was the church brought about by the apostles . I don't think it's perfect . Some people can't get away from that . You understand , and I understand that .

Zack

Oh , there we go , keep talking about it and I understand that .

Earl

Oh , there we go , keep talking about it . I know , I know , here we go . Okay , yeah , shit , yeah , I don't get that .

Zack

You did that . I know I can do it quick . I'm telling you right now , but the thing is , it's , it's , it's the . I'm incorrigible , okay here's the deal . Here's the deal really the certain people in this world will never believe anything or they'll believe everything . Okay , see what I'm saying . So those people are usually the same person because for real think about it . They're only going to believe what the government tells them , and they believe everything that the government tells you You're right .

Earl

Hey , no , that's a problem .

Zack

I mean , that's it .

Earl

That's a problem that I have . How do you ?

Zack

think you can make me believe that 1947 in Roswell , new Mexico .

Earl

I'm telling you that is the beginning of our era , right now . Yeah , there's a basic flaw . Remember when you were talking about the greatest deception the devil ever pulled off ?

Zack

Making everybody believe he didn't exist Exactly .

Earl

That's like a government conspiracy . You know , One Nation Under God . One Nation Under God is one of the biggest .

Zack

But therefore , then we take it out of the schools , come on come on .

Earl

Well , I know , because they have you , they have most .

Zack

Most people they don't have you but they have most people believing it used to be one . This is one nation under god , but right now , god we trust , do you know you'll never find a politician that's not crooked . I mean , look at pelosi's got to be a demon I , I don't say that lie .

Earl

Pelosi is a demon , every one of them . I don't care what side they're on , that's what it is .

Zack

That's what it is it's self-interest .

Earl

You know the path of the righteous man . The righteous , you know what I mean . He's beset on two sides . Yeah , one side is the selfish . The selfish are going to do . They don't try to hurt you , but they're doing their own thing and they're trying to get their thing . The other side is the tyranny of evil men . There are people that are trying to do wrong .

There are mean people , and there are selfish people Can you put ?

Earl

yourself in the path between them . That's what your point is To me . That's what God asked us to do . Can you not be this person ? Can you not be that person ? Can you walk the line ?

Zack

That's the line . The road to hell is paved with good intentions .

Earl

That's true too , but do you understand what I mean ? That's as simple as that . All these people are either being selfish or they're just trying to be flat-out evil .

Zack

Yeah , man .

Earl

The tyranny of evil men .

Zack

Yes , absolutely , they know what they're doing . I'm going to give you my opinion on people . I'm going to say it real quick If a person says something to you y'all being you , who's ever listening intentionally to hurt you , if they say that intentionally to cause you pain , that person you better believe is evil yes , what's the gospel ? I mean peace harmony . You do unto others as you want and you're gonna be selfless and a person that will lie to your face will rob you blind yes , because there you go .

Earl

They're being either selfish or they want something from you . That's right .

Zack

Either they want what they want to get from you , or they just want to be mean to you and see you suffer exactly there's so many people out there that just just don't like you , because it's not that , you know , I'm saying , it's not that complicated .

Earl

There's some pretty simple stuff , if you will put it that way . It's . It's not hard to see , and otherwise you're somebody that's hey , like I said , that's a , you can call that .

Zack

You can call the Bible conspiracy , yeah .

I mean a lot of people do .

Zack

Don't believe in it . Well , I feel sorry for them . I truly do , and I was like if you don't believe in Jesus , I want you to understand this the ripping and tearing of your flesh from your body , the gnashing of teeth I mean the gnashing of nails and gritting of teeth for the rest of your life you won't see nobody . You won't see no friends , because you know you got friends out there . Everybody knows , everybody's got that one friend you know is going to hell . You're not going to be down there and see him and give him a high five . You're going to hear his ass scream in the dark . You're not going to see anybody . It's not going to be a party Forever . Yeah , yeah , it's not going to get down .

Zack

Get down , no it's not going to be a P Diddy party .

Zack

It's going to be P Diddy parties , for sure . You know what I'm saying Ain't no telling what's going to be happening to P . Diddy . Yeah yeah , that's going to happen to him . Future of P Diddy would be like , I guarantee you we should start that . We should make our own movie the Future of P Diddy . I guarantee we'd go viral . This might go viral right now Talking about P Diddy , p Diddy this , p Diddy that .

Earl

You might for PED . Yeah , you might go to PED .

You know , think about it though .

Zack

Who can I even listen to anymore ? R Kelly PEDD . You know you can't listen to nobody's music without being in the wrong .

Earl

Michael Jackson Damn it .

Zack

Hey , you know , Michael Jackson , I don't believe none of that shit . I don't think , so you don't connect well , I think I don't think he , I don't think he molested kids . I think that truly loved kids , but I don't know . I mean , I don't know , I think they made him look that way . I think people can be really sick and do both to control him .

Earl

I think people can really be sick and do both or not even know it well they can do both . Like I said , they can be really focused .

They still have these cases .

Earl

They , they have individual cases of this shit happening where they did this and even though they were overall . This People aren't perfect .

Zack

People ain't stupid though either .

Earl

No , you're right , Michael Jackson was evil .

Zack

people that do evil things too , it's that evil person that let his kids go over there and say oh look , he's got all the money in the world . We're going to send you over there , son , and say , hey , he touched me here .

Earl

Yeah , but I don't know . The same way he had this other upbringing . He wanted to blame his parents and these other things I don't know . But then there's other people that I want to say that were like prophets .

Zack

I'm just waiting for them to let the Hernandez twins . No , no , the other one . Oh , the 500 in South America , 900 or something . Yeah , what was his name ? Jim Jones , jim Jones , jim Jones , jj .

Earl

And he was like a prophet before that .

Zack

Oh was it JJ .

Earl

But if you look back and people didn't know that he was doing this . He had the plan from the beginning he was planning , yes , but there are people that still believed all along the way . But you didn't know until the end that it was set up .

Zack

You damn bet you , you damn bet you .

Earl

I know it's hard to conceive . You're blinded by the hey how many ?

Zack

The devil can come to you , the angel of light people .

Earl

I know but how many he comes to ?

you as exactly exactly what you need to see at the time .

Zack

So don't believe in a dream . This guy said hey , I want you to go outside and cure yourself because God's ready for you . Hey , that's not God , but he'd been grooming them for that .

Earl

That's right . He'd been getting them ready for that Same way with other cults , but he was one that was like a mainstream . He was bringing everybody in whatever multiracial , absolutely , anti-racial , absolutely . He had these people . Let's go down here in South America and we're going to start a city . And da , da , da . Not that everybody was just swept away all the way , but he had a systemic when you go back and look at it .

Zack

Some people just need that when you look at it from the end . Yeah , absolutely , I know .

Earl

Yeah , yeah , you do , but I mean he wasn't a prophet going around and he went off the tracks .

Zack

Yeah , there's a bunch of those still everywhere he had the plan .

Earl

He had the plan from the beginning .

Zack

Absolutely .

Earl

He knew he was evil Yep .

Zack

He knew what he was doing was what he wanted that reporter said Jerry Lee , I hope you sold your soul to the devil . He said I did . Next question he didn't even smile .

Earl

he said I did and some other people too . There's lots of people . I've seen other people say that I'm telling you that's a , and that's a .

Zack

That's a , jim Jones that's a .

Earl

It's like that's what it is . That's what it is they knew because he knew it from the start . He's like hey , or like what would you do if you could sell yourself all for my kids ? And then I know , but I mean , no , no , there's plenty of people , that's right , that's when you have them they have an answer too quick take me .

Zack

You know what ? The answer is too quick yeah , take me . Still take me .

Zack

Yeah , it's a , I mean , I wouldn't well that's no .

Earl

No , but do you hear me ?

Zack

dude . That would be , that would be the thing that would that he could say hold over my head . Yeah , hey , if you'll do this for me , I'll give you kids back . Oh man , exactly , help me , god , help me now .

Earl

That's the bargain , the devil made Help me . Jesus , what's the bargain the devil made ?

Zack

What did you need ? Oh man , Don't even get me started . What did ?

Earl

you need . Right , that's what I'm saying , that's it , that's it . It's like the story of Job .

Zack

People love the story of Job . The story of Job is terrible yeah it is .

Zack

He said where have you been ? It's God sitting there with all the God's children , it's talking about the angels . And he says , hey , he said they're sitting there . And God is mad . I mean basically Because they're

Faith, Evil, and Modern Society

Zack

waiting on Beelzebub , they're waiting on the devil . And he gets there and he's like hey , son , where have you been ? He said I've been between two worlds trying to destroy man , he said . And if it weren't for that damn Job , I'd done have them all . He said Job would never have turned to you .

Earl

It was a bet y'all . I've never heard a time like that . It's like Abraham .

Zack

It was a bet , bro . It was a bet . No , I bet y'all can make it be on my side , I bet you can't make it be on your side . He said everything was farmer talk . Drop the hedge around from his heart . He said I'll drop it from his heart , but I won't drop it from his soul . So you can turn his heart if he'll turn , but I'm telling you he won't . But his soul will always be mine because he's my favorite , or one of my favorite . You know what I'm saying ? Basically Destroyed everything he had , Everything he loved , Everything .

Earl

Everything .

Zack

Everything , of course . Then he gave him a whole other family and wealth and everything else , but still had to go through all that I know , yeah , but even then I can't wait for my wealth .

Earl

Where's my wealth at ? Let's test Abraham ? You know this life is bad .

Zack

What am I Redo ?

Earl

Take your son You've got to . I have a hard time with that . Right , I have to study it .

Zack

Moses was a killer man . Moses was a murderer .

Earl

Easily , I'll bet you Easily . Moses is quite a character in the bow .

Zack

And I understand him better than his mother .

Earl

I understand that better than .

Zack

He is the only person talked about from birth till end of life in the Bible is Moses .

Earl

Yeah , he didn't have a gap .

Zack

That's pretty cool .

Earl

Yeah , yeah , I understand a lot more his being a flawed human being than I do some of the others . It's hard like like you talk about , like uh .

Zack

Joe .

Earl

Abraham and stuff like that . As far as , yeah , like I said , others just struggle to study . Oh , you're putting the guitar down .

My fears Relieved , and how great my fears relieved . And I pray just in my grace To hear the hour I first believed my chains were gone and I've been set free . My Lord , my Savior , he's ransomed me like a dove . His mercy reigns unending love , amazing grace . And when we've been there two thousand years , bright shining and the song , there's no less days to sing God's praise than when we first begun . God's great , then we'll we first be gone . My chains are gone , I've been set free . My Lord , my Savior , he's ransomed me and like the flood , his mercy reigns unending love , amazing grace . And like the Lord , his mercy reigns Unending love , amazing grace .
