But. You did try to track methane through the track. I can say in the same.

00;00;26;35 - 00;00;43;52
Unknown
He's trying to track. Do you say to track nothing. This is the same across the company. Never mind the ways you can walk on water just as good as me, me, me, me.

00;00;43;52 - 00;00;57;43

All right everybody, this is Pastor Ricky Rush again. And today is an exciting, wonderful day. I am here within anointed brother, man of God. His name is Brant Jones. You have heard some of his music.

00;00;57;44 - 00;01;20;48
Unknown
Perhaps some of you have heard all of his music. He has a song called he Rose. I mean, the, Christian Easter song. That was amazing. One of his hits is Don't Wait Till Midnight. You know, one of my personal favorite is, heaven's in the room. So I don't mean to act immature, but, man, I am on a whole different high after knowing this brother and talking with him.

00;01;20;53 - 00;01;43;31
Unknown
Okay, if I'm immature, so what, I don't I don't care. Today this podcast is reaching someone who feels like man, maybe I'm too old to be acting so childish, but that's a childlike excitement that come to children like Christmas and those holidays when God sometimes will send a message and you know you have a gift and there's something under the tree and you just don't know what it is.

00;01;43;36 - 00;01;57;26
Unknown
And God has allowed me to be in the presence of this brother who was like a gift that God had under a tree. And sometimes we shake the trees, shake the gifts, I mean, and try to figure out what's in the box. And we just can't figure it out. And then all of a sudden the day comes, but you can open it up.

00;01;57;26 - 00;02;14;50
Unknown
You go, God, thank you. I wouldn't have brought this for myself. I wouldn't have bought it for myself. But thank you that someone knew I need it. That's who Brant Jones has been to Pastor Ricky Ross already. We have not long each other. Known each other for a long time. But God said, I tell you what to do.

00;02;14;55 - 00;02;42;21
Unknown
I'm gonna let you see the gift wrap. Then I want you to shake it. And then when you open it, I want you to see that there's something I put inside of Brant Jones that you personally needed to hear that no one else could possibly know about. And so I just am so grateful. Today on the Decide the Tribe podcast, this is all about people who sometimes different parts of this podcast, like Peter walked on water, everybody clapped about it, you know?

00;02;42;26 - 00;03;08;53
Unknown
But it never would have happened had he not decided to try. It was the miracle and the walking was the miracle in the getting up out of the water, I think the first miracle was saying, I'm going to try. And so today we have a brother who may have walked on water. To some of you, he may have fallen in water, got up again, and let the Lord lead him like some of you.

00;03;08;58 - 00;03;37;14
Unknown
But the reason he's here today is because he decided to try, and God has given him an anointed gift. He's a powerful musician and he has been with us as inspired by the Christ Church. By the time you hear this, we would have celebrated, what we call Pentecost Sunday, where we celebrate like a holiday, a holiday, a celebration of the day that the power of God fell on the church.

00;03;37;19 - 00;04;04;47
Unknown
So I want you, while you're listening to this podcast, to you know, subscribe, tell a friend, listen to it. Watch real quick as we come to you with this conversation. Now, there's a lot that I could talk about, but that I don't want to talk about it. We are here today because our special guest has stepped out of a boat, and he has blessed the hearts of many in the gospel industry.

00;04;04;52 - 00;04;30;28
Unknown
A couple of quick things. He has been pastoring a church before. He has walked and had to have that role of a leader. He has had his rear end kicked. How did you get your rear end kicked? Well, you lead people and you don't ever get your rear end kicked. If you're behind, you have to be in front.

00;04;30;31 - 00;04;53;56
Unknown
So I thank God that he's continued to lead after being kicked in the hind side. So those of you sometime that are tired of getting kicked in the back, get out of the front, get in the back. No one will ever, ever, ever kick you behind. Who's not following you? All right, so today, Mr. Brant Jones, brother, Brant Jones.

00;04;54;01 - 00;05;17;10
Unknown
Mr.. Heaven in the route. Oh, dude, I'm still on the high. Okay, man. Welcome to the Inside the Drive podcast. Wow. Well, first of all, this is my first podcast that I've ever done, and it's the morning, the most anointed podcast already. What? Now? You just in the intro, getting ready to make me cry. I mean, I was speaking, I was just going to say, hey y'all, what's up?

00;05;17;10 - 00;05;49;09
Unknown
But then you started talking and prophesying and preaching. I said, oh my goodness, this man is this anointed all the time. What's up y'all? It's a good to have passed. I'm going to because podcast go so many different ways, so many different directions. There have been people that have probably following your ministry that you never knew about. An interesting thing that I found out earlier was that you said there were two places in your life that you wanted to go to, to minister in.

00;05;49;14 - 00;06;09;10
Unknown
Now, let me say to everyone, I never heard of Van Jones. I didn't know who he was and the Lord I believe, pulled us together. He came when I wasn't even in our building, and I was looking online one day, and somebody was just blessing people with this wonderful tour. And I thought that this is just like our church.

00;06;09;10 - 00;06;33;10
Unknown
And I turned the volume and he was he was here blessing people and and I wasn't here. And, and all of a sudden, there he was. So I'm just going to let him answer the question about how he heard about. You'll see this podcast is about him. This podcast is about deciding to try. This is his first podcast is my first podcast.

00;06;33;10 - 00;07;00;04
Unknown
He has decided to try. I was going to do my own podcast and it hasn't even started. So this is my first podcast. So in the industry, we as artists, we hear about churches, we're gospel artists, of course we're going to hear about churches. And so there are two churches that I, you know, you hear about. And some of my peers have gone and ministered and I thought, wow, okay, I want to go to this church.

00;07;00;09 - 00;07;21;53
Unknown
Two years ago, I was getting ready to do a my a live recording in LA. And this I looked at my phone and this area code came up and it was Detroit. I say, well, it's Detroit. I don't know who this is. The day of my life. Recording and Triumph Ministries called, and I had always heard about Chiron Ministries and how artists go there, and they love it.

00;07;21;53 - 00;07;42;09
Unknown
And it's ten campuses, 40,000 members. And I'm thinking, Lord have mercy. What and how was it? And in my mind, one day I'm gonna go to China. So I, I've called me, I thought I was going to do one off. I thought I was going to do a couple of weeks pastor and it would be done. We're going on two years, and now they call me artist in residence, going on two years.

00;07;42;14 - 00;08;05;52
Unknown
And there was another ministry called I back. I did not know what I was. I thought it was another, breakfast place. I thought, you know, but what's what's that? How about you just said, what's the what's the name? I. But what does it stand for? Inspiring. Inspire the body of Christ church. Okay. I didn't know that till just now.

00;08;05;56 - 00;08;31;47
Unknown
This is about to me. And I always heard I had this amazing choir and the church with the fountain. Right? You know, y'all know, charged with the fountain. And so in my mind, one day, wow, I want to go to that church and I want to minister. Well, I came I was in town doing a concert, and, I came by, I back and I toured pastor, and I walked through the fountain.

00;08;31;52 - 00;08;57;07
Unknown
The fish aquarium. Fish aquarium. Sorry. That's okay. I found a little thing. Okay. Aquarium, y'all. I'm like, if I was not saved, I want to come to this church just to see this aquarium every Sunday. Because this reminds me that God is this kind of big. You are reminded. Now, I know you want to remind the saints that they're fishers of men, but it reminded me how big and vast God is.

00;08;57;11 - 00;09;20;20
Unknown
And the grounds are amazing, but more than anything is so full of purpose, is so full of of just your daily walk Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, just your daily walk and little. I love the message while I call it where you just walk in your little tidbits, pastor, little nuggets from the scriptures and it just catches you and just reminds you so.

00;09;20;20 - 00;09;45;05
Unknown
So I am here at ABBA and I get to be in front of the choir and, I get to be in this man's presence and just experience and hear the ministry that he is created here. And I know, I know, he didn't create. I know God did it. But God used him. And to be here is just another one of my dreams coming true.

00;09;45;05 - 00;10;19;14
Unknown
I know that God loves me now, you know? And so I'm an about y'all. Look, I've been to a lot of churches in Dallas, but I'm at I'm back and, inspiring believers, inspiring in body of Christ of Christ. I got to get a t shirt or something. I, you know, one of the things that I do want to be able to focus on is knowing that just the name of the church, the acronym that I bug, is one thing, but to actually be able to have a chance to minister that.

00;10;19;19 - 00;10;46;06
Unknown
Yeah, to Brother Brant and to to say, okay, Jen, you only. Yeah, having to be inspired while being here. Yeah, is what we're most proud of. Yes. Your music career has gone into different levels. When you first started, there's a person probably listening, maybe some artists, people that love your music, people that may not have ever heard it, people that could be inspired to do some things.

00;10;46;06 - 00;11;07;56
Unknown
Yeah. So have you ever quit before, like down and said, like, this is it, I'm done. Oh, yeah. Really? Yeah. After the success of Don't Wait Till Midnight, there was a lot of label changes and management changes and it was hurtful. Has some issues with the past manager. There's dysfunctional and, almost abusive. And I had to make some decisions.

00;11;07;56 - 00;11;31;54
Unknown
Was I going to just stick around for the clout as the, you know, as a young people say now, or was I going to get in a healthy space in my career? And I'm so glad that the Holy Spirit allowed me to to understand the healthy places, the better place. Okay. And so I walked away from that situation and I thought, you know, maybe music is not going to be the thing I, we had I had my time, you know, I started using scripture.

00;11;31;54 - 00;11;48;51
Unknown
Okay. You know, it's a season, you know, so maybe this season is over, you know, and I'm so glad I just kind of got through it, though, you know, I got through it, and I'm here today, and you've been there. Yeah. And you are almost. These are my words. Yes. You're kind of now learning how to live from the bottom.

00;11;48;56 - 00;12;06;16
Unknown
Yes. And God says, but that's not where I want you to stay. Right. And then you what? I had to believe in myself. I had to believe in the God that was in me. I had to do the work. I had to walk by faith. Okay? I had, but I had to do the workshop. Talk about the word.

00;12;06;17 - 00;12;25;52
Unknown
Oh, the work was, can I talk about it? Let me hear it. So the work was I got to write good songs. Okay, okay. I got to use my gift. I have to hone my gift. I have to be skilled in my gift. I got to write good songs if I want to. If I want to be connected with a label, I'm going to have to, have good relationships.

00;12;25;52 - 00;12;42;21
Unknown
I'm going to have to go to some meetings that maybe I'm uncomfortable in. I'm going to have to walk walk in with confidence. I have to do it afraid sometimes, you know, I have to show up and let them know this is who I am. This is what I can do. I do it well, okay. God is in me.

00;12;42;21 - 00;13;05;05
Unknown
I do it well, and I want to be in business with you, you know? But then God showed me you don't really have to be in business with him, because everything you need, I have it in you. You need some money, you need some foundation. But if you believe, if you've gotten. If this faith has gotten you this far, you just keep on having faith.

00;13;05;09 - 00;13;34;34
Unknown
And I'm going to work that all out. I'm in the best position in my career, business wise, than I ever have been, and I'm not on a major label. That is amazing. So not being on a major label, you have to be. I don't know how it works. I do that you have to promote yourself. Yeah, well, see, when you I was on a multi-million dollar label with Good Time, my first record, and then Don't Wait Till midnight when we did the song with Koko from SWV.

00;13;34;39 - 00;14;02;27
Unknown
You know, the old school group? SWV, R&B group. And I was being played right after usher pastor. I was Mary J. Blige, Brant Jones, I mean, you know, especially in LA, in New York, in those bigger cities, they were playing that song. And so that song really catapulted my career popularity. No, wait. Because when you get that at that point, what people hear now is and go ahead and get over who had money is what made you stick with gospel stuff, what made you stick?

00;14;02;32 - 00;14;26;12
Unknown
Why did Jesus journey? Oh, you mean because. Oh yeah, I love that. Because. And I'm going to tell you, when I was doing talent shows, trying to be jealously trying to be R Kelly. Okay, I know y'all mad at him, but I love him as a songwriter and producer. But I was I was in a club and my girlfriend now my wife, I was winning the talent shows, and I heard the Holy Spirit in the club say, you can.

00;14;26;23 - 00;14;48;22
Unknown
You can do this. I went, but I just want you to do it for me. For me? You can do it. You could be swaggy. You could. You can write real, you know, clever lyrics and put great hooks together and, and say, bars together. Who do all that? Yeah, just do it for me. And it was just profound.

00;14;48;23 - 00;15;09;55
Unknown
And I'm like, wow. And so not knowing a lot about the gospel music industry, because I just thought that everybody just love music. Well, I thank God for wisdom, but it's so in me to do it. And God has allowed me to be in Hollywood because I'm from Los Angeles. That has allowed me to be in Hollywood situations and take the love of Christ into these Hollywood situations.

00;15;10;00 - 00;15;34;53
Unknown
And I love that I love ministry on the edge. And, you know, you don't have just a whole bunch of traditional church people. Let me say something. Yes, I always say this because there's this part where you say, you know, I can bring this because all the years I've directed choirs and worked, I've just kind of almost like been like an energetic Energizer bunny kind of preacher.

00;15;34;58 - 00;15;58;10
Unknown
And I've always moved a lot. And what you're saying to me is like, you can take a boat and put it in the ocean, and I always like to use this, and maybe you can use this and maybe you can write a song with me. Okay. And that boat can stay in that ocean for years. It was made to be in the ocean.

00;15;58;15 - 00;16;15;56
Unknown
The only problem that you're going to ever have though is when the ocean gets into the boat. And once that water gets to the boat and the boat sinks, you have been able to be a boat and it's been in this world water. There's a lot of stuff coming in. Yes. I still in church now.

00;16;15;56 - 00;16;40;45
Unknown
Yes. But you haven't allowed it to get into your boat enough to tip it. Yeah. You said hey man. I'm not excellent. I've had my, issues and. Yeah. And everybody has. Yes. But you I want to commend you because when you listen to the music that you've produced, it doesn't just sound good. You can sing it with no music.

00;16;40;50 - 00;16;57;52
Unknown
So, you know, I don't play instruments, but I find myself now, you know, when your music was first brother, I was like, okay, okay. I try to listen to something, and then when I turn it off and I'm through with it and then it comes back to me, I'm like, oh, yeah, this. There's more than a hook here.

00;16;57;52 - 00;17;18;53
Unknown
Yeah. How do you create a hook? Well, before I was this Brian Jones, a recording artist, was the Minister of Music, so I had to teach people who did not sing well, songs. So I couldn't just do the latest Ricky Dillard song. I couldn't do the latest has a Kyle Walker song. I had to do songs that were curtailed to a lesser talent.

00;17;18;58 - 00;17;39;13
Unknown
And so for me as a songwriter, I had to create music that these amazing, these these mediocre sopranos and mediocre chose mediocre tenors. And I say mediocre when I say mediocre. Yeah, I don't need it from a safe perspective. Yet it I had to write songs that they can sing, but yet be proud of because I don't want them.

00;17;39;17 - 00;18;02;22
Unknown
I don't want to write songs that make them sound like babies, you know what I'm saying? So I'm going to write songs that they could be proud of and that can they can execute and, and and they could minister with power. And so it was always, let me write that simple song that I could teach either a church, I can teach to recording in a new Jersey, or I can teach a UCLA, or I can teach at the local church with 50 members.

00;18;02;35 - 00;18;25;18
Unknown
Okay. And that was important. That's going to work at. Yes, as a minister of music. Right. So and as a songwriter, write songs that everybody can get that's that, that, that, that. So that's a preacher who's I'm just kind of switching. Yes. That's the preacher who's in the pulpit. Yes. And you got to teach a message, but you got a nine year old that listen to that message.

00;18;25;27 - 00;18;43;03
Unknown
You are a 65 year old. Listen, you got a guy with his master's in seminary. Listen, right, right. And you're still talking about a story that you all know. What? The black and white Bible. Right. And it's the work is the word. Yes. Look, we got to keep moving and we're going to get on out of here. I want you to pour into me.

00;18;43;08 - 00;19;09;24
Unknown
I want God right now to use you to pour into pastors. And I run low sometimes because I pour into so many people. And God has taught me, I'm going to send people to you that are going to pour back into you. And when I say that, I'm maybe this is a selfish moment, but I've decided to try, again.

00;19;09;29 - 00;19;33;20
Unknown
You've pastored before. I've heard hundreds of stories of how many pastors are leaving pulpits every week. Every every week. Not every month, every week. It starts out good, it gets wonderful. People are with you and just even hearing your story. They are going, you can pastor and then I'm giving you no chances to preach. And boy, you get your chance to prayer, preach and pray.

00;19;33;35 - 00;19;57;39
Unknown
And they loved your music, but now you gotta feed the spirit instead of the ears. And that gets a little different now. They love you because you can sing and play, but when you have to lead them through troubled waters and they got to trust you that they can walk on water too. You said that's not, that's not what I'm going to do.

00;19;57;39 - 00;20;20;00
Unknown
Now. How do you decide how did you decide to see God. Maybe I misread that or I pastor and I stopped but you still faithful. I think you said this word in, in, in your, in your sentence you said the word passion. I do what I do because I love it, pastor. Okay, I love it. You asked me to pour into you.

00;20;20;02 - 00;20;45;05
Unknown
Yes. What I would love to pour into you is that you cannot stop in the midst of all of the darts and, weapons formed against you. They're just formed. If you stopped, you would die. You would die if you stopped. Because this passion, this this passion. And we know it's the Holy Spirit. But God has called you sir to this.

00;20;45;05 - 00;21;03;43
Unknown
Yes. Okay. He's calling you. I'm not saying abuse yourself. I'm not saying that to break away from some self-care, we need that. That's a part of the ministry for you to keep on pouring like you have done to this city, sir, at a level we're not talking about. Just listen. I walked into a choir room that's bigger than most churches.

00;21;03;48 - 00;21;33;55
Unknown
It's just my camera. I walked into a choir room that's bigger and more prosperous than most churches of 100 years. I've seen it with my own eyes. Okay. For you to do ministry at this level, sir. Much is given. Much is required. But you love it. You just talking about these amazing young people. You talking about your choir, you talking about your band.

00;21;33;55 - 00;21;56;13
Unknown
You talk, you become somebody else when you talk. I don't think you understand. You become someone else when you're talking about it. Which lets me know as an outsider now, being able to be in there, some passion in this. What was the movie called, the Passion of Christ? Why did he die for us? Because he loved us so much that he gave his only.

00;21;56;13 - 00;22;20;53
Unknown
My God, I'm getting happy. You can't stop. You cannot stop. Not only for us. You can't stop for you. This passion, the joy of the Lord, is your home. Yes. If you lose your joy, you're going to lose your strength. Wow. So you gotta keep on doing this self-care. Take a day off. Go see a movie. Go to the beach.

00;22;20;53 - 00;22;36;08
Unknown
Take a vacation, y'all. Love has to take a vacation. That's what's up. I do obituary, I'll let them preach for a whole month. I don't know what. Not that. Oh Lord, don't let him preach for holding out on me. Now I got okay, but guess what? When this man doesn't preach for a month, guess what he's going to come back with?

00;22;36;08 - 00;22;54;34
Unknown
Oh my God, oh my God, can you come on now? Let this man take four weeks off. I'm just saying. But. So if I could just pour any things. You. Yes. The passion about Christ. Do you know we need more soldiers like you? Because there's a there's a remnant of people in the last five years who think church is just.

00;22;54;36 - 00;23;12;43
Unknown
Yeah, whatever. Especially after Covid. We can do it without church. You make it seem like. No, we can't. We can't do without church. He's coming. He's not coming back for the Stellar Awards. He's not coming back for the Grammy Awards. He's coming back for the church. Okay, you know what I'm saying? And he's the church. We are the church.

00;23;12;48 - 00;23;41;48
Unknown
He. He's come. So, sir, we need your passion. We need people with your wisdom and your passion. I know a lot of former wisdom, sir, that got 50 members. Where's my camera? I know a lot of people with passion that's got 25 members. Okay, okay. He has an aquarium in his lobby. Not with little goldfish in them, with jaws and orca in the aquarium.

00;23;41;52 - 00;24;05;33
Unknown
Who does that? So just when I feel like my faith is dwindling, just when I'm feeling like I can't go any further, just when I feel like life is too hard, I walk into eyeball and see an aquarium. What does that remind me of? God is going to bring me through this. Yes. I, I'm a little down right now, but I see a shark and that shark is working for me.

00;24;05;33 - 00;24;23;09
Unknown
This shark is winning for me. Oh, wait a minute. I'm a little depressed today, but look at that eel walk. It's swimming through there. And look at that yellow fish. Oh, yellow is such an inspiration. Oh, God. Oh my God, you know. Oh, wait a minute. I'm at. I bought this little light of mine. Well, I'm gonna let it shine.

00;24;23;14 - 00;24;42;53
Unknown
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. And that's what you're doing. Okay. I'm good. Glory to God. Thank you. I meant that y'all be glad I meant that I'm I now. Okay? Okay. You gave some advice and watch this. Yes. I'm going to give you my word. I'm gonna. I have decided. Yes, to try that.

The first time we've ever decided to try a service like this, and God sent the right person at the right time to give this birth.

The birth. That's the birth. Now, Pentecost was the birth of the celebration of the birth of the church. If you don't remember when you were born, get somebody to tell you, you kind of know your birth date that make sure you know you're here. Who remembers the birthday of the church? Maybe the church is not dead. Maybe you don't remember being born.
