Don't Give Up Season 2 Ep 4: Let's Go Live!

In this special episode, Josh and Todd join us for an Instagram Live conversation we originally recorded back in November. We decided it was too good not to share with everyone.

In this live discussion we talk about:

Witnessing and sharing the Gospel

Following the leading of the Holy Spirit

Encouraging believers not to stay silent about their faith

Real-life ministry conversations and experiences

Sometimes the best conversations happen live and unscripted. This episode captures one of those moments — honest, encouraging, and centered on pointing people to Christ.

If you’ve ever wondered how to start sharing your faith or how to listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit, this conversation will encourage you.

SPEAKER_11 1:42

No, seriously, I I think it's um people should do that. I got a quick testimony, and I'm really sad about this, but I was playing a game one day and I just did not want to hear it. And some guy hopped on the Xbox and he went, Hey, is there any atheist out there? Is there anybody who discredits the Bible out there? And he to me, he just came at it all wrong. All right, you're right. I said, Why do you sound like he was saying? Yeah, yeah, he said, Why do you sound like that?

SPEAKER_07 2:19

Why did I think that you was the guy?

Like I thought you were it's not like he was doing a ham impression.

SPEAKER_03 2:24

Yeah, spoiler alert, he is the guy.

SPEAKER_11 2:38

Thou art that man. No. Shout out, uh, David. Um, no, so nope, no, it isn't. So I said that to this guy. He said, Why are you talking about, you know, why why do you sound like that? And he was just so intense. And I just wanted to play the game, and I totally discouraged this guy. I I did. I'm not gonna lie. I was like, you're a such and such. You know what I mean? I was like, I totally was mean to this guy. I really was. And uh when I got done, I started thinking about it. I was like, he was just wanting to spread the gospel. Right. I said, oh my gosh. You ruined him. I searched for hours trying to find this guy. I finally found him, right? And I said, Man, I just want you know, I'm so sorry. You know, I I you caught me in a bad mood and all this and that. And he was and he never accepted my apology.

SPEAKER_03 3:39

Too late.

SPEAKER_02 3:39

SPEAKER_03 3:42

I was like, and anyways, that's how we started our podcast. Jim was that man. Thou art the man. Jim's like still has accepted his friend request. I have not accepted his apology.

Yeah, the questions about life and why we exist and all these things. Put it in the thing.

SPEAKER_11 4:18

All right, so I got somebody for all right. I got it for the comment section. Clip that, Chad. I got a question for the comment section. Is that better, Bob? Yes. All right. I can't even What does the 24 elders in the kingdom of heaven represent? Can somebody explain that to me?

SPEAKER_10 4:50

No. I thought for sure you should go with Tishbite.

SPEAKER_11 4:54

Yeah, and and what's a Tishbite? Riddle me this.

SPEAKER_08 4:59

Yeah. Twelve patriarchs, 12 apostles? Correct? Yeah. Yeah, the 12 patriarchs and the 12 apostles. Yeah. All right. Man, alright, Todd.

SPEAKER_10 5:09

Well, I know I don't I guess he's just a bonus question, Tishbite. What is a Tishbite?

SPEAKER_07 5:14

Oh, Harry said lost me.

SPEAKER_09 5:15

No, it's Elijah, right? That's his hometown?

SPEAKER_11 5:18

Yeah, no, but what's a Tishbite? What is it? That's what it is. Who is it? Are they? He's a son of Tish, brother. Yeah, Tish is bite. Are they Yeah, but are they Jewish? Are they uh Israel? Are they Hittite? Are they, you know what I mean? They're good people. Yeah, all right, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 5:39

I'll tell you all right, dead serious something I think that we kind of keep on the same frame, a good conversation piece to kind of go off of is what about this Muslim uh uh uh dilemma epidemic that we just encountered last night? Like, like straight up, like, and I think this is something like all of our people watching, we need to start getting prepared for because if you're gonna get on the streets like Larry said Larry said German gypsy. Guten Tag. Not a thing.

SPEAKER_03 6:07

Guten Tag.

SPEAKER_07 6:08

So like last night we was walking the streets, we was in Times Square and all that jazz, and almost every, I'm not gonna lie to you, I'm gonna say if we were uh every ten people, it was probably seven people was Muslim. That might be probably like maybe even more.

SPEAKER_11 6:23

And James Drinkwater spoke to every one of them.

SPEAKER_07 6:26

And listen, and let me tell you what's crazy is like there was like it's just you could tell it's the culture. There was people that we talked to that's never even cracked open a Quran. Yeah, Muslim. And you'd ask them a question about the Quran. Uh and I'm saying all that to say this is something we really need to be prayed about and be prepared to. Uh know how to defend your faith and and and look into these things. You know, um, we're gonna be posting, we had a really long conversation with two young, smart Muslim men. And uh there's things, but it's something right now I think that if you look over like in England, I don't know if you guys like see on social media, how it's took over it's took over the culture there, yeah. And like New York is sh is shifting to that, but if like for people that's going out, like this is something that's like it's growing, like it's it's it's it's something to be prepared for, you know.

SPEAKER_09 7:12

I at first when we was laughing that James has found every Muslim, I was like, man, what's that's hit hard luck, you know? Because the first person we talked to, I think was agnostic, and then the second guy was a converted Catholic, and then from there we've seen two young uh kids, and it was from Saudi Arabia, Muslim. But from there on, from from there on, them two kids to the very end, every single person I talked to, whether that be 30 to 40 people, I'm not meaning 20 and then one atheist and then 20 more Muslim. It was only Muslim. And I mean there was little kids 15 years old. Yeah, uh, you believe in God? I'm Muslim. You ever read the Bible? No, I'm reading the Quran. They have a Quran and have never even owned a Bible in America, it's never even 15, 16 years old. No, I've never had one. Would you like one? No, I'm reading the Quran. And it's I realized when I left, like, it's not far off where you can just call New York City a Muslim state.

SPEAKER_06 8:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 8:09

It's it was really like close to nine out of ten people that we talk to.

SPEAKER_10 8:13

It's crazy.

SPEAKER_09 8:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 8:14

Well, I live here, I work here, and it would be it would surprise you um the amount of people that love the Lord that is down there. You'd be surprised how many people uh support Donald Trump down there. Really? Now you do have large uh groups of people that are Mazda, and they're not off limits, by the way. You know, they they need to hear the gospel uh of Jesus Christ. Uh and and you'd be surprised. Uh they are a very works mentality and they're trying to earn their way through. But uh if if they hear the gospel, God will do the rest. You know, but you'll be surprised that that city is as crazy as it is. There's there's a there's more for you than against you, my friend.

SPEAKER_11 8:52

Yeah, right, yeah, right. Also, you know, James is joking last night. He says Ham spoke to all the non-Muslims. He did. But I I went there last week, and all the people that you talked to, I talked to, I talked to all the Muslims last week. You know what I mean? But you know, um when I'm walking around looking for uh for for witnessing, uh I am truly trying to be led by the Lord, and I know you guys are too. I'm not saying, but I'm saying is I'm looking for the ones that will accept it.

SPEAKER_03 9:31

Yeah, amen.

SPEAKER_11 9:32

I'm looking for somebody that will accept it. I'm not there for an argument. Yeah, I don't want to debate anyone. Yeah, right. I want to lead lost souls to Jesus. Yeah, absolutely. So I'm looking for somebody that looks depressed, I'm looking for somebody that looks alone, you know. Yeah, I'm looking for that. Amen. You know what I mean? You don't have to look, because whatever you look for, you will find. Yeah. You know what I mean? If you go out looking for uh I'll say a quarrel, you know, for you're gonna find it. If you go out looking for a tish bite, you're not gonna find it. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 10:07

Shout out, shout out, shout out to the biggest. Tell us Tishby, Tishba.

SPEAKER_03 10:12

There's a book called Seeking Allah, Findin' Jesus. Yes, that's it. And I would highly recommend that book. We got a couple comments. Uh McKenzie Harrison says we need more Bob Jr. content. We do. We do on my shoulder there. He's he's he's some. Shout out Bob on the up and coming. He's the B-roll producer. Willie is a great guy. Willie Hicks said uh that uh Tito is in his element on the pod. Uh McKinsey. Shout out Willie. Shout out Willie. He is in his element. He Yes.

SPEAKER_07 10:43

He loves radio, man.

SPEAKER_11 10:45

He does love radio.

SPEAKER_03 10:51

I'm sorry. Uh also said six or seven. Either or, I guess.

SPEAKER_10 10:57

It can't be both. Seven. Seven. We all pick seven. Yes, six represents man, seven represents perfection. Yes. And if you're going out to witness, don't forget, it should be in love. It's gotta be grounded in love. Yeah. If you don't love the people you don't shouldn't be there. You know, wait, pray up, and pray for that love of Christ to live in your heart, and and and once that overflows, then start start spreading it to other people. Don't go out because sometimes you get, we're very competitive people. And now that this has become kind of a trendy thing since Charlie Kirk and what happened with him, it becomes, oh, wait, do you see? I'm gonna get this. And we're like scalp, scalp hunters, you know. And you know, you want to come at it with love and and be able to help people and and share the gospel wherever you can and let it over, let them see it in your face. How about a smile on your face? Yes, you know, that that turns to anybody, people are so miserable when you get out in the world over stupid stuff most of the time. But if you could show a joy and a smile on your face, that proves that you're that you're born again. And there's something different about you.

SPEAKER_11 12:01

Charlie Kirk, uh, I love Charlie Kirk, um, and uh, you know, but he did debate. He debated, he would go in there and he was causing a ruckus, you know what I mean? Yeah, he knew what he was doing, yeah. He was awesome, but I'm not there to debate. There was a guy who smelt like terrible, okay? And God forgive me, but he did. He, you know, and he was on like this unicycle type thing, you know, this like this little whatever electric board. And it came to a point to where I said, I'm here because I love you. And I love you because Christ first loved me. And I started repeating myself, and I I felt led to just tell this guy, I was like, I love you. I love you, Jake. I love ya. And I he and at the end he was like, I believe you.

SPEAKER_09 12:56

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Well, yeah, it's hard, it's it's really hard to emulate. It's hard to emulate.

SPEAKER_10 13:03

I was uh he had a prophecy last night. Should we talk about that? Oh my god.

SPEAKER_06 13:12

No, we're not talking about that. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_10 13:20

Alright, we'll save that for another time.

SPEAKER_03 13:21

We're not talking about the prophecy.

SPEAKER_07 13:23

And I and I'll tell you too, I think that's something that's really good to define that we're not talking about prophecy at all. Um I'll tell you something that's really good to define, too, is I will say this, like to find like a middle ground of just love in that because you gotta have love. No obviously, like arguing and debating. The Bible says that. Don't waste time quarreling. That's wasting your time. But I will say one a word that is very important is uh apologetics. And you know, that word, what it means is just to simply be able to defend your faith. And I'll tell you what I love is why apologetics was created was there was a man uh named Justin Martyr that the that Rome and these people at the time uh had wrong views of how they viewed Christianity. And he was like, I don't want to argue with these people, but he's like, I want these people to know why we live what we live in. You know, the one thing I will say is why it's important to get, and I'll tell anybody watching why it's important to be equipped, isn't so you can go out and put somebody in a corner with trick questions, because that is not of God, not at all. But but I'll like last night, I'll tell you what we could it seem like every person they I'm sorry, but they have there's people out there that that have questions that there's things that they're wrestling with, and you know, as Christians, that's why it says the studies show yourself approved, is not to think about what's it to defend your faith. That's what all we need, we need to be equipped to do that, you know. And that's a and I think that's why apologetics over arguments is so much more important, you know, that it isn't a debate, but don't our faith is this our faith doesn't shy away from questions, our faith doesn't shy away. Listen, our this word is so true, and it can stand up to the questions, the philosophies, the things that people have, you know, and and that's why if you take that and drown it in love, like what Ham does and see what these men do, it's so beautiful because that's what's so effective. It's not like you're wrong, I'm right.

SPEAKER_10 15:15

It's easy to fall into that. Do they want to fall into that when you get out there?

SPEAKER_09 15:18

Well at the end of the day, Paul said that to the Jews, they want to sign, but the Greeks want wisdom. Yeah, there's some people you say Jesus died on a why did Jesus die on the cross? Well, for your sins. But do you know the depths of the day of atonement? All these things like not everybody's just gonna take Jesus died on the cross for your sins and just believe it at face value. They gotta know all the depths of God and how we've sinned against God and the Day of Atonement and to pay the price for sins. And so, like Paul said, to the some people need to see a sign, some people need to see somebody get out of a wheelchair. Uh, I know somebody gave a woman a word of knowledge last night about divination or witchcraft. That is what will get her. But then some people need wisdom, some people need to know why is this true? Like Josh is saying, you could put the that's why the Bible says that it's it's the Bible's tried and true and tested. Every single sort of principle, every single sort of corner, every sort of situation you could back the word of God in, it's already been backed in by the millions of people that come before us, and it stands the test of time. And so you can know and know why you believe what you believe, and you can press somebody with it, and then you know when you've reach your roads in. You know, I I was talking to a gentleman last night, me and Carl, and he believed in the Bible, and uh, but didn't believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. And I said, Well, what about the scripture? You know, I'm the way, the truth, and life, no man come to the Father but through me. He said, Well, you know, we believe in certain scriptures, but not all of them. I don't really believe in that scripture. That's not in that's I don't believe that. I believe this portion of the Bible, that portion. I said, Well, this is where we reach our end. You know what I mean? Because I believe in the Bible.

SPEAKER_07 16:54

And if you don't that's so I want to read this this verse that goes right along with what we're talking about, and it says in me the shout out Richard Parker. Shout out Richard Parker. This man dropped the revelation bomb onto me yesterday. This is purely his thought that he told me on the phone. So good. Jude 1, it says, and saving some with compassion, making a difference, and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garments spotted by flesh. You know, this is the scripture's talking about how we can save people out of the burning house that is hell. And he says that some you're gonna save with compassion, but some you're gonna you gotta rip some of them out. And it, you know, it's truly, I think that's where one of the gifts of the spirit's discernment. And it's so important to know. Like sometimes you're gonna know, I just need to tell my testimony and pour out love to this person. And then sometimes there's some people they need to, they they need their their logic shaken a little bit, you know. They need and it's so it's like when Richard Parker pointed that out to me, he's like, some I was like, I've never heard it broke down like that. The song that's be it's powerful, you know.

SPEAKER_11 17:52

It's so powerful because some people you're not gonna lead to the Lord. Some people are gonna go back by themselves in their prayer closet by their self and accept Jesus in their heart. Amen.

SPEAKER_10 18:03

You know what I mean? And it's like he said, discern to know to switch gears. So there'll be some people that is so beat down with life, they just need to know that God loves them. Then there's some people like my boy come across that thinks they are God. Yeah. Then you know you have to switch gears and you hit them with the law. You're not God, you're you're nobody, you know, with in the you so there's different, but you couldn't do that same thing with the other man. Yeah, you know, you would have destroyed them, but but the other one needs to come down. So I love when we've done the study about uh John the Baptist, and he's and it was a scripture in Isaiah talk about making the uh the the uh the mountains low and the valleys high. Yes, and what he was doing was he was talking about because he, if you notice, the people that were as low on their self, he was bringing them up out of grace, and then there was uh Pharisees there, and he was screaming at them. Yeah, and the same man is treating two different people different, but he was level because at the cross it's level, making the crooked pass straight and making the crooked path straight.

SPEAKER_09 19:02

And that was uh the end of the verse says, and then the glory of the Lord shall appear.

SPEAKER_10 19:06

I approached this different than you, gentlemen. That's why I love your story and and Larry Dale. Big shout out to Larry Dale. Big shout out. But uh, you know, I I honestly my life was so bad at one time. I raised in charge, but I got to the point where I was my life was so bad, I I started to and not believe like, is this even real? Yeah, right. And because I could honestly, you have to I had to prioritize maybe maybe I'm gonna shift gears in life and not give my time to this no more. Is this real? Yeah, it's true. And um, I if now the God I thought I was serving would have struck me dead for saying that. But I come to find out he wasn't mad at me at all because he has nothing to hide. And he showed me that he absolutely is real, and I I recommend anybody to go through that, maybe not the same way I did, but like cross every T and dot every I before you get into a storm. Because once the storm hits, you're gonna jump ship if you don't believe and know where you stand. It ain't even about witnessing. You have to know that you know that you know what you're dealing with. Now, on this side of a problem, it comes. The rain falls on the just and the unjust.

SPEAKER_11 20:10

Uh little quick testimony. I give it to Larry said he loves you. Man, we love him. Please come back, Larry. Uh we I was witnessing in Martinsburg, West Virginia to a woman. She was sitting outside with her friend um at a Walmart and she worked there. And I said, Ma'am, I gotta tell you something, Jesus loves you. And she says, I know. I says, Uh, really? Is he living in your heart? And she says, Yes. And I says, Well, God forbid we were to die right now, where would you go? And she said, Heaven. So I was like, Okay, how do you know you go to heaven? My work here is done. You know? Well, she said, uh, because I, you know, uh I I I accepted Jesus in my heart. I believe he's the only way to heaven and I repent daily. You know what I mean? I I confess my sins to him, you know what I mean? So she gave me all the correct answers. She said, but I just don't, she said, I also share my faith, but I just don't push it on anyone. So then I kind of like almost corrects her. I was like, well, I look at it as a if if the house is on fire, would you push them out? Would you say, ah, the house is on fire? And then God corrected me in the midst of me saying this. Some people do need to hear that. Some people do need to hear repent because some people are so lost and so blind that their sense of smell is gone. How's that sound? Don't even know. They're so lost and so bound that they do need to have repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

SPEAKER_07 21:51

Some people do need that. Have you ever heard the story of, and just real quickly, the story of uh there was an a sane asylum years back that burned. And um I can't remember this, I believe it was in England or somewhere. And it was burning down, the fire department come in. You know, these people are mental, they're they're crazy. And a lot of them was running out. They said they had to run in the building, and uh, these these people that was in this asylum was scared to death of the fire department. So what it was you know what they was doing? They was blocking their ear saying, get away, I don't want your help. They was hiding underneath beds, they was hiding in closets, their house is burning down, and these people are there to help, but they're so deranged and they're so blind and so twisted that the fire people had to literally grab them and say, No, you've gotta get out of this. You know what I mean? So it's just like and that's what this world's blinded. And then we gotta realize he could open fire.

SPEAKER_03 22:44

Someone just asked a guy by the name of T Cam 201. Shout out, T Cam. Shout out, Two. Just asked, What would you say to believers that think they don't need the baptism of the Holy Spirit? That's a good one.

SPEAKER_10 22:58

Well, it's the difference between charging hell with a water pistol or charging hell with the power of God.

SPEAKER_11 23:08

The day that Peter got filled with the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost, they led three thousand soldiers out into the kingdom that day.

SPEAKER_07 23:16

You know something too, is like you read about why did uh why did the in Acts 1.8, why did Jesus give him the power, the Holy Spirit power, it was to be in due with power to be a witness. So there was a reason behind that power to be a witness. So this is like goes hand in hand with the Great Commission that like, and I love this in I was I know listen, Peter was not infallible, Peter fell, Peter sinned, but before Peter got filled, we read about him denying God, you read about him uh cursing, you believe cutting a man's ear off. After he got filled with the spirit, you don't see those things happening.

SPEAKER_11 23:49

No.

SPEAKER_07 23:49

You see a different man. And there's there is a true shift, there's a true change. And I believe that, you know, when you're saved, you have you have a measure of the spirit, but when you're baptized, it's just that overflow power.

SPEAKER_11 24:00

And also, too, with the with the Holy Spirit, um uh to second what I was just saying there, some people do need to hear repent, repent, repent, scream, turn or burn, right? Some people do need to hear that. But some people the Holy Spirit gives you discernment to decipher who to do that to. Because a lot of people, I just tell them that I love them because Jesus loves them. A lot of people, you can I could just say Jesus loves you, and they know they can see. If the house is on fire, they can see anybody with a clear mind and they can weigh things out and think for themselves, they're like, Yeah. And they're like, what's so wrong with loving thy neighbor as myself and loving the Lord thy God and not stealing, not coveting. You know, they they Paul said the Bereans were more noble because they searched the scriptures for themselves. You know, people with a uh I'll I'll say it uh I'll say with a clear mind, they'll go search the scriptures. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_10 25:00

Even Christ before he uh started his ministry waited until his cousin John would baptize him and the Holy Spirit ascended on him. But now we know he's the word, he's God himself in the flesh. But this was a moment where the Holy Spirit made an uh appearance and the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit was all in one boom and and rested on him. Then he started his ministry. How much more would any of us? You know, you have so many people that are intellectuals that want to read a book and explain a book to you. This isn't a book club, this is, you know, you know, just to change a doctrine. This is this is spirit-led, all this is, and and these men is all being led by the spirit when they're ministering, and and that's the difference. Some people that has not, you know, uh worked under the Holy Spirit or been helped or by the comforter it would would doubt it, but that's that's the difference. Once you've experienced that, there there's no other you can't go back on them.

SPEAKER_00 25:56

In uh in Acts 18 to go off of what Josh said, um it says, But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall become witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all of Judea, in Samaria, and all the ends of the earth. He didn't want them to do it without the Holy Spirit. He had them wait until that moment come because it's you have to have the Holy Spirit to do this. It's it's like Dad said before, it's the difference of you know, going into hell, charging hell with a water pistol or a fire hose. You know, it's um you have to have they have to have the Holy Spirit to operate well uh in the gifts and um be effective with especially street ministry and witnessing, you know. Uh the Holy Spirit gives you that discernment and that gut feeling that you'd have uh to talk to someone and to tell someone something that they need to hear. You know, uh and uncle, you know, you start off with just uh, you know, do you know Jesus loves you? But you know, sometimes someone needs to hear something different, you know, like we was talking about before.

SPEAKER_11 26:58

Well, I noticed that last night because uh we Josh and I tag teamed these two people, and they did. They they you know, they accepted the Lord and they wanted it. They did, they wanted to accept Jesus in their heart, and Josh was like, No, you need something more, you know, and at the end, him and me were anointing them with oil, praying on them from their heads to their feet, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_07 27:24

Absolutely, it was it was that was that was that was one of them I'd be honest with you, that might have been my favorite conversation uh of the night. I'll I'll say that was that was awesome.

SPEAKER_10 27:34

But that's what makes you anointed to preach the gospel, because angels themselves, don't forget, remember the centurion in Joppa, uh his family's worshiping, and uh the angel came to you would say this angel is uh is is gonna give me everything I need. You know, I I need to know the gospel. But he wasn't he wasn't allowed to preach the gospel. So guess what? Back then, with no cell phones, they had to get a hold of Peter and he had to come and preach to them. And then when he preached to them, they received. And that's because Peter's filled with the Holy Ghost here on earth. That's the anointing, that's where uh you know you have the ability to do that. I'll say this.

SPEAKER_07 28:12

I don't there's there's a like a denomination like that says that you have to be filled with the Holy Spirit to make heaven, and I don't believe that whatsoever. Yeah, me either. But I sure wouldn't want to do it without it. You'll get there quicker for sure, you'll get there faster without it.

SPEAKER_09 28:26

Well, with that without the Holy Spirit, yeah, when you give the woman the word of knowledge about the divination or the witchcraft, that wasn't that would have not happened. Yeah. And to so just to the point of the scripture, to some assign and to some wisdom that was the sign that got across to her at that moment that would have never happened had it not been for the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

SPEAKER_11 28:47

Well, Josh, uh uh Todd and Josh, do you guys have uh anything you want to plug or uh yeah, I'll I'll do a little shameless plug.

SPEAKER_07 28:56

Um check out our YouTube uh last night, a lot of the stuff. There's gonna be Hamilton, Carl, Todd, everybody. We got videos. I'm gonna probably be posting them in multiple videos. It's just the YouTube under Josh Lovell. I'm gonna be posting some of those, so go subscribe to that channel.

SPEAKER_11 29:10

Give us a good scripture.

SPEAKER_07 29:12

Good scripture? Yeah, your favorite. Right now, my favorite scripture is Psalms 103. It says, uh uh blessed Lord on my soul, forget not all of his benefits. Uh and I love this. Uh, when I was battling sickness for a year, uh a year ago for a few months, I really held on to this. That he heals all my diseases, he he forgives all my iniquities, but my favorite is the the the NIV says this, and it's actually on my golden goose here. Uh, it says that he redeems my life from the pit. And just that there's a there's a picture of a hand reaching down, and I think about that all the time. That that's what Christ did for me at the if I was to summarize the gospel, he I was in a pit of mud, going to hell. And man, that's when I think about like listen, it says for don't forget all of his benefits, and I love his benefits of healing and love, but that's the greatest benefit of salvation, as we're in the scripture.

SPEAKER_10 30:03

Yeah, uh Todd?

SPEAKER_09 30:04

Yeah, you can uh find uh our album, Nothing Is Wasted, on uh Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify, Nameless Plus, Stream East, Crack Stream, LimeWire, LiveWire, any jailbroken uh fire stick, nothing is wasted by Pioneer Sound. And uh I'll give you I said it on the other episode, but my verse of the year last year, I'll give this my my verse of the year this year was uh Hebrews chapter 10. It says, For just in just a little while he who is coming will come and will not delay, but my righteous ones will live by faith, and I take no pleasure in those who shrink back, because we don't belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved. Now's not the time to shrink back on your faith. And one more scripture, Psalms chapter 23, verse 1. The scripture of my life, the Lord's my shepherd, I shall not want. And I don't need green pastures or still waters or a cup running over, or I don't need my head anointed, running over all that stuff. That stuff is great, and if it's God's will for me to experience that, that's fine. But I know as long as the Lord's my shepherd, I have everything I need.

SPEAKER_10 31:10

Don't give up.

SPEAKER_02 31:20

SPEAKER_07 39:08

I wrote this song probably when I was about 15. You'll like this because he'd be honest with you, I was available. When I when I wrote this, I was kind of writing this in like the vibe of the songs that you guys sing. So this is a Hamilton Smith-inspired song here. This is my favorite song that he's written, by the way. I wrote this for a cousin of mine that uh at the time he was backslidd in, and he actually passed when he was 23, but he was saved when he passed. But he uh had a horrible life, and I just seemed like God wanted to make him new, you know what I'm saying? Like you ever just look at somebody like man, if you would just let God get a hold of you, bro. Like, so this is written from that perspective.
