This Episode is directly after a big outreach in a local High School in North Carolina.

Our mission is to cultivate a community of sold out followers of Jesus with the leading of Holy Spirit. We take them beyond their daily routines and into life-changing journeys across the world, equipping them with a Kingdom identity and perspective. Through these experiences, we are raising up a generation fully devoted to the King of Kings.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so anyways, guys, welcome to Whoa, whoa, whoa! Kingdom Wild After Hours. She's already on it. Keep going. I like that.

SPEAKER_05

But um we're in it now.

SPEAKER_01

Anyways, guys, welcome to Kingdom Wild After Hours. This is our post-rally night podcast episode. Um, we're kind of debriefing our rally night and also just yapping because that's what we do best. And we're really tired. And we're really tired. It's 11:18 in the PM. So way past the Lakers bedtime. Way past light years past the Lakers bedtime. But we thought it would be fun to talk about how our night went and just stuff that we talk about because we talk a lot.

SPEAKER_00

And show off our pretty new banners, guys.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, look at this sucker. That we have stickers of. Shout out to Zach for designing this. It looks pretty lit.

SPEAKER_05

And that's it.

SPEAKER_00

Well you enjoyed the podcast. Okay, so we're in Dobson, North Carolina. This is post-rally night back at the Airbnb. Um, and this is when you'll put in all the good food we've had. But we what do we do? Six and a half hours of driving today. Went the boys got here first at the Airbnb, set up some stuff, but then we both met up at the high school. Sound checks. Right over the building. Yeah, we can get into that. So, like, first we can get on to y'all's half when you guys were like doing sound checks and stuff. And setless.

SPEAKER_01

Setlist.

SPEAKER_00

Tell us about that. Setlist.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, tell us about that, Josiah. How'd that go?

SPEAKER_04

I mean, it went fine.

SPEAKER_02

No, so this morning, was it this morning? Josiah texted me, and because they were on the road and he texted me and he was like, Hey, do you have ideas for the set list? And I was like, One song worthy of it all. What about that one? And he was like, Okay, cool. And I feel like that's about oh what?

SPEAKER_04

Did you funny enough? The night before, when I was actually thinking about the set list a little bit, that song popped into my head and I was like, no, I don't want to do that song. And then Allegra over here, we should do that song outside.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, which is also crazy because Josiah is always like, Let's do worthy of it all. I love that song. We always voice. And I'm the one that's like, can we not do this song, please? We always end up, like, there's always space that happens, and Josiah, like, immediately flows into that song, and I'm like, why this one again? It's a good song, it's just we do it, it feels like we do it every time, and so I'm just like, eh. But I was feeling that one, and he wasn't, so that's interesting. It was meant to be.

unknown

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, so you guys did the sound check. Yeah. Uh sound check.

SPEAKER_02

It went really good. We did we did the songs that we were gonna do, and then we kind of just I don't even know how that happened, but we did other stuff too. And it was good. It was like a whole nother mini worship session flow, I think. Oh no, you were a part of it too.

SPEAKER_00

What happened to setting oh, this doesn't have to be an I was genuinely curious. What happened to like you setting up like your drum kit? Was that just not?

SPEAKER_05

Um Well, I think the reason why I didn't do the drums was probably for two reasons. Number one being that it was going to be just a lot to set up. Um I was missing a couple things to really be able to. I was missing my rug, my drum rug, and then I didn't have the snare stand that I wanted, and so it would be a little bit distracting because the current stand is a little bit short. And then I think that with just the piano and the singing, the the cajon is a little better. And it's nice to play the cajon. Um I don't know. So those are some like technical reasons, but I just enjoy playing the cajon for worship. It's kind of a vibe.

SPEAKER_02

It sounded really good. I agree. It did sound good. Yeah, you guys sounded great. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so we did sound check. Yeah, sounding great shows, hating those harmonies, brah.

SPEAKER_00

He was all with that mic, because the he was like a mic. Do you need a mic? And Josiah was like, no, and like it was like, yes, he does.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, because last time he didn't have a microphone, and the it was like we finished, and I was like, Man, I wish Josiah would have had a microphone. Yeah. And so this time Josiah was asked, Do you want a microphone? And he was like, No, I don't need one. And I was like, You are having a microphone. We're not doing this again. So he got a microphone and it was fantastic.

SPEAKER_04

I was so far away from the mic.

SPEAKER_00

But it was really loud.

SPEAKER_01

So spoiler, Josiah can sing. I don't know. I looked over when I was like when I heard him singing, I looked over and I was like, dang, he's really far from the mic. I'm glad I can still hear.

SPEAKER_04

I was like, okay, I can sing because they can't hear me, and then you could.

SPEAKER_01

It was actually pretty loud. But it was really good. It sounded good. But I also like, if you had been a girl, I might not have noticed as much, but because I was like, oh, that's a guy singing into a mic, like, I, you know, singing you sing.

SPEAKER_02

Another thing, there was a guy, like when we were singing in the front row. Uh, I don't it he it was one of the families that came in. The guy in the overalls, yeah. Yes. I could sing.

SPEAKER_01

It reminded me of Tom Campbell's overalls.

SPEAKER_02

I could hear him singing clean from where I yeah. Like I had my eyes closed and I could hear something. Projecting. Really? And I opened my eyes and I was like, it's that guy right there. I know it is. Dang. To be able to project like castle that is kind of crazy. I know. Which I mean, to be fair, we were in the gym and gyms like you can hear everybody's voice. But yeah. That was cool. I always love hearing people sing. Like, that's just like I would rather hear them than my me. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Real. Yeah. I like hearing you sing. Riding in the car with Allegra is like, I said this earlier, but it's literally like a free concert. And like I'll hear harmonies in my head, but like I can't make them come out of my mouth. But then like Allegra will just sing them and it like scratches an itch in my brain, and I'm like, that's so good. You killed that. You know? Yeah, it's good stuff.

SPEAKER_04

So what did we do after soundtrack?

SPEAKER_00

Well, what did they do? What did you where were you guys at? We well, first we had to work on some Instagram stuff. We were answering some questions. Um, and then we decided to do like a miniature, like not a minute minute, it was supposed to be miniature. It wasn't miniature. And then we're like, this is a small school. So we walked down outside prayer walk around the whole street. In like long sleeve shirts. You had a long sleeve shirt. It was like a sweater on, and we were like hiking across the it doesn't matter, God is good. I was sweating. Yes, but like we decided just to like do our best to walk the four corners of the property and kind of just like pray and declare and and yeah, ask for a favor over the evening. Yeah, we were kind of sweaty at the end, but it was good. That gym felt really good.

SPEAKER_01

That gym felt great when we walked in. I was like, wow, this is nice.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, but then we found you guys and they supplied us tacos. Yeah, that was good stuff.

SPEAKER_02

So we ate tacos and grapes. The clock on the raw wall was very wrong. Yeah. And Nathan believed it.

SPEAKER_01

Nathan thought we had like 15 minutes left and we had like five minutes. That was funny. Yeah, that was good. The lady that was like worked at the school that like put the rally night together was super cool.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, she was. I liked her kids. They were cool. Nice. She didn't really.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, we're gonna go find those on Amazon.

SPEAKER_04

Have you heard this is so no why tell us? This is such a homeschooler song.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, tell us. Wait, if you guys need a song for red details, I could sing the whole thing right now.

SPEAKER_02

No, it's called The Coffee Shop Bot by Sarah Maddox. Oh yeah. Have you heard?

SPEAKER_01

I used to follow her on Instagram, yeah. Yeah. I thought you were talking about like pants, have sticks, legs, that's no squid. Huh? For a dog and an out for a kid. You know? When you said hey, that makes me think of a song, I was like, with a pair of pants, you're not alone. We can dance with our pants till the cows come home, you know?

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I'll serenade you guys later, don't worry. Anyway, I'm so looking forward to it. Is it weird if I put my feet on this? If you can reach it. Guys, Dawson looks so dumb. Dawson's like, can we talk about the rally night, please?

SPEAKER_05

I'm just enjoying listening.

SPEAKER_01

Are you so tired? Are you gonna enjoy it when I serenade you guys later?

SPEAKER_05

Um what?

SPEAKER_01

I said, are you gonna enjoy it when I serenade you guys with a Veggie Tale silly song later? The pants one? Yeah. Sure.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I'll do that and then we'll watch Interstellar. Not tonight. Tomorrow.

SPEAKER_02

Not tonight, dude.

SPEAKER_01

Not tonight.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, so the actual rally now.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, the event itself.

SPEAKER_04

There were a lot of people.

SPEAKER_02

There were a lot of people. That was a good turnout.

SPEAKER_04

You never really know like how many people are actually gonna shout out to the street.

SPEAKER_01

Well then you have like projected numbers, but it's like I never trusted projected numbers because I've seen people way overshoot and people way undershoot.

SPEAKER_00

I also liked how it was like a mixed crowd. Like it wasn't just like youth. Yeah. Like there were youth leaders, but also like parents with like families and like younger kids. And I really liked that. It just felt more like a tent, like I don't know, just more like not where speaking out of school. Yeah. For real. So I really liked that. That was cool. So they did their announcements. Y'all jumped up there for worship. Yep.

SPEAKER_04

We had to move.

SPEAKER_01

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Right before it started. Yeah. So like we had the whole thing set up, like you know, high school gym, so like there's bleachers on both sides, and we had like everything against like one goal kind of facing the other goal. But then everybody sits on, well, they kind of sit on both sides of the gym. And we were like, no.

SPEAKER_04

Nobody does that.

SPEAKER_02

Sorry, but that was.

SPEAKER_05

I just like to the side that like the people are coming in, they sat on the two sides of the field goal. And they can't do that.

SPEAKER_01

Everybody think that this is what we're gonna get the runs, you know. Like, don't.

SPEAKER_05

You gotta get a middle side of third base.

SPEAKER_01

Like the wall. Like basketball goal. Soccer goal. A soccer goal. Soccer goal, football goal. Football goal. A basketball goal. No, no, no. No, no, no. In the South, we say like, oh, we have a basketball goal in the front yard. We say that.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, baseball southern people.

SPEAKER_01

Basketball net. We could say that, but we don't say it as much. Like the basketball goal. Not everyone's basketball goal has a net, especially in the south. Especially in the south. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Usually sometimes there'd be no net.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Never heard that.

SPEAKER_00

So like I said, okay.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So everybody's right. Nobody's wrong. No one's not a big thing. It's just a cultural difference. But that was funny. So anyways.

SPEAKER_05

What about a soccer hoop?

SPEAKER_01

Is it a hoop though?

SPEAKER_05

It's not a circle.

SPEAKER_01

You mean? Okay. Okay. But anyways. So people sat on the bleachers on both sides of the court. It's good terminology. Thank you. So proud. So it's like, anyways. They sat on both sides of the court. And we're facing the other, the opposing teams end of the court, if you will. And then they've like funneled everybody from one set of bleachers to the other side. So everybody's on one side of the room. And so we just like oriented all of the equipment towards that half of the room, basically.

SPEAKER_02

At start time. Yeah, at start time.

SPEAKER_01

Well like right after start time.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it was like 6 32 and we're sitting there and we were like, wait, everybody's gonna be facing it.

SPEAKER_01

It's like people would be facing this way and we'd be facing this way, leading worship. Like you would, I would.

SPEAKER_02

So we were like, let's move it. So we did teamwork makes the dream work. Let's do it really.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it was funny. It was chill.

SPEAKER_02

Did somebody trip over a court or something? Or almost the lady.

SPEAKER_00

The main lady. Gosh, I don't know what her name was. Dana Dana? Dana?

SPEAKER_05

Nathan's laptop was messy. Yes, it was that demise.

SPEAKER_02

Really? That she saved it. Yeah. Were you guys in there for this?

SPEAKER_01

But she was the one.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, because that's what it was because we were pushing the one, because so that we had giant like TV screens.

SPEAKER_01

It was not me when I pushed the TV. Did that pull the cord? No, no. It was Nathan. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Everyone was just moving everything around. And then the laptop was full of it just like and it ran out of slack.

SPEAKER_00

Yep. Oh, really? A little cartoon. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. It like spirals on, and then it's like, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

But it was fine. No computers were harmed. So today. Today. Right. Good point. Right.

unknown

Right.

SPEAKER_02

Always tomorrow.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Oh dear. Maybe for your computer. Oh. My MacBook Air's gotta last me a good long while, okay? Me and old faithful.

unknown

Oh.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, I can sacrifice mine.

SPEAKER_02

I need a new one anyway. Getting a new one.

SPEAKER_05

We'll throw yours in the river tomorrow.

SPEAKER_02

Alright. I do need to back up my pictures first. That'd be nice. What were you gonna say?

SPEAKER_00

I don't remember. I do remember. Okay, say it. Yeah. Um what? Okay. So I liked how um I'm thinking, sorry. I liked how while we were all kind of sitting down and Nathan was like positioning and telling people where to sit on the side of the court, we kind of all got together and prayed. And amongst ourselves, because like, yes, we wanted to pray all together, but we were like, oh, Dawson was filming, um, Nathan was like micromanaging and stuff. And but I just liked how afterward Nathan was like, okay, guys, let's pray. And I don't know, in my mind, it was like not that you can't have too much prayer, that's not what I'm saying. But like a year back, yes, we would have like been praying to ourselves, but Nathan feels like he has to be like, okay, guys, let's pray. And now we're like, dude, we've already like we got like not in a bad sense, because not too much prayer, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but in a sense of like, dude, we we're on this, like, yeah, yeah, I don't know. I just like the comparison of like how it would have been like a year ago, which we would have been praying a year ago.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but it's also like taking initiatives, yeah. I don't know without it's the same growth, yeah, and I like that. I agree.

SPEAKER_00

I concur. My throat hurts, and I already took 400 milligrams. Oh, you do that the whole time.

SPEAKER_04

She has no idea what's happening. That's going in.

SPEAKER_00

No, we can't go in. But like, I was gonna take six injured. You're dying! Your throat hurts that much. It hurts pretty bad if I was gonna sit here and talk. Yeah, when she took the ibuprofen. We should have like stopped and got on popsicles or something. I know. Oh, wait, what time is it? Oh wait, maybe.

SPEAKER_01

It's 11:38. We can't get popsicles. Okay. Dang, that stops. They're so nice. Yeah, it kind of is. We can get popsicles smart. We can get ice cream, that would be soothing for your throat. Yeah. Like a local. Are there culprits around here? I have free Scoopies. She has like 10 or 12 in her wallet. And then in the front of Josiah's car, there's like seven more of them. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

That's crazy. Do you need a tear dawson?

SPEAKER_05

No. It'll have just been weighed out, and then it's just weighed.

SPEAKER_01

Oh.

SPEAKER_05

There was a random skip in there.

SPEAKER_02

Oh. Okay.

SPEAKER_05

He's back all of a sudden.

SPEAKER_01

And we're back. And we're back.

unknown

Oh man.

SPEAKER_01

Um, okay, so we did worship. Nathan spoke. And then more worship. A little bit more worship. Well, Nathan spoke and they did kind of like an altar call thing. Yeah. And then um more like another we closed out with a song. Yeah. So yeah, it was good.

SPEAKER_00

We got our food from the fridge. It's always good seeing Nathan like jump in. What? No, that's so good. I jumped so far into the fridge. He did, but we can go food. We can go to the food. I don't care. I don't really even like racing in. Yeah, seeing Nathan his element, even though like he was literally at that school this morning, right? And then just seeing him be able to, because like we've been to schools with him before, and like seeing how he has to be particular with his words. And yes, Nathan does an amazing job with preaching the gospel without preaching the gospel. But seeing it and like, oh, now I can just stay Jesus as much as I want. And he hit the number where he was like, I can't do it. But and Dawson's not gonna get up. But when he like was like on the floor, like hidden, yeah, like that part. That was it. It's just like, I don't know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I think you're talking about this.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I was waiting for you to do it. Thank you. No, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So he's gonna get his knees and he like what when he was on his knees.

SPEAKER_05

Like this? No, I mean, were you both the blank?

SPEAKER_00

You're doing great. You're doing good. Thank you. Yeah, it was a good one. Do it again for the camera's sake.

SPEAKER_03

Oh no. I said you're doing good.

SPEAKER_00

He's like, I already did my It was good. Great. Yeah. But yeah, and then was a sort of an altar call. And I love how like I've never been in a space to have to do an altar call, but I'm like, I'm terrified of that. Of being like, wow, if you're dealing with this, come to the front. I'm always scared it's gonna be like and but Nathan's so patient with it.

SPEAKER_02

He's like, Yeah, because you yeah, he's because how long did it take tonight? I mean, probably at least a minute. Probably a minute. You think you think?

SPEAKER_00

Probably felt longer than it was.

SPEAKER_02

Probably, it was probably I don't know, just under a minute. Okay, yeah. Yeah, like 45 minutes. Because like we stood up there, Josiah stood up there and played for a long time. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Before but it all it also feels like forever. Yeah, yeah. When you're in the moment, it feels like it's forever.

SPEAKER_02

But like But it definitely wasn't an immediate response. No, and there was silence, and then Nathan was like, I'll wait. Yeah, like, oh, he's serious.

SPEAKER_00

He's for real about this. And then I don't know, just seeing like I don't know, the basic humanity of it, of seeing like one girl walk up and then it's like floodgates. Yeah. Yeah. And then, or like seeing people walk up with their friends, and a lot of people are like, oh, they're just working for their friends. It's like, no, a lot of those girls were sitting there like for their friends. Yeah. And I was like, that's so sweet. Like, um, so we went up there and am I allowed to like talk about the kid? I think so. I wouldn't use his name, but I'm not sure. So no, I thought his name was really funny because my dad used to work with this guy.

SPEAKER_02

This is just I think practice also feels different from the actual thing because you don't have and I mean we can flow either way, but like you don't have to stick to the set list when you're practicing. Like you can go off and do other things, and it feels more like free flow rather than the actual thing you kind of like, especially if you have worries, like you kind of you don't have to. But like if someone's running extra. But that's the expectation. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

I think you can free flow. And but I think one of the things that boils it down for me, oftentimes the thing that gets in my way is simply worrying.

SPEAKER_01

I also this also we need to save this for the like worship and maybe like excellence in worship episode. I don't know if that's a good title, but like I think part of that too is like if you have a good slide operator on Prepresenter, as soon as you guys start flowing into something, you can just pop that slide. Like, it's not, it takes literally two seconds to if you already have that song in your library, already formatted, literally two seconds to put something in to that price that presentation. Like it's not, and so like if you have someone that is excellent in their service, and not to say that like you can't have a beginner on slides, but just like if you have a really solid team, then like that makes worship flow smoother for the audience because you have someone that's trained really well on pro, then they can just pop it in. You know, it it just flows.

SPEAKER_05

Were you there for the Sokote where I advocated for no slides?

SPEAKER_01

I was only there for one Soko. Not last year, but the year before. I've never been to Elijah Clark. This would have been at Twinoaks. You were not sure.

SPEAKER_05

That was a joy to me.

SPEAKER_01

Really? I love it when there's no slides.

SPEAKER_05

I said no slides.

SPEAKER_01

I'm fine with no slides.

SPEAKER_05

We did worship every morning, and it wasn't a big debate, but there was a few days where I went back and forth with people and I was like, I don't want any no slides, no screen, nothing. And um long story short, it turned out great.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Basically, what happened was after the first couple days of just breaking the habit of being used to looking up and reading the screen, which is not a bad thing. Yeah, but people just learned to you have to do Something. I wanted to see people just do something. And so people would just hold their kids' hand and just walk around with them and just pray and just whatever. And it just turned into this very respectful, you know. Um sometimes people, when you know the song, you sing, and when you don't, you pray, and it wasn't a huge deal. Um I think like I said, I think at first people didn't really know what to do. Um, but after a couple days they learned, I'll sing when I know it, and if I don't know it, I'll pray, or um, you know, talk to somebody about the Bible or something. And it was it was great.

SPEAKER_02

It really I feel like having no slides is good because then you're not just singing along. Yeah. Like you can't just sing along. Right, like if you know the like if I can easily hear a song for the first time, and if I have the words in front of me, I can sing along. Yeah. I mean, part of that is because I am musically inclined, so I just like can guess where the song is going. Like, especially if I have the words in front of me. But like if you don't have the words in front of you and you don't know the song, then you're gonna listen to the words. And if you do know the song, then you can sing and you know what you're singing.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and you're not just blindly singing something that like you're reading it and it's coming out of your mouth, but it's not like stopping out here first. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And like I'm guilty of that too. Like, I'm speaking from experience, I think it's just it's definitely a comfort zone that I think is good to leave every once in a while.

SPEAKER_05

For sure. And so many of the people already knew so many of the songs.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So yeah, that's helpful. Because it's gonna be still standing. It's gonna be Dawson at his house editing, and he's gonna be like, So we forgot to film an outro, so I'm just gonna film that. I'm just gonna be like point five. So I just decided to film the outro just now. So the episode's over.

SPEAKER_05

Crazy you should say that.

SPEAKER_01

And then I just constantly Dawson. All right. That's good run, guys.

SPEAKER_05

Ladies and gentlemen, Hebrews and welcome to the Life Podcast. Today we are here with the wild ones.

SPEAKER_01

Right. Whoop whoop. Wait, isn't that what we're doing?

SPEAKER_05

Where we inspire you.

SPEAKER_00

You really got that. You're peculiar people.

SPEAKER_05

But one of them came out to me and he looked at my phone case and he's like, is that an elephant? And I was like, yeah, it's an elephant. He's like, where did you get this? And I was like, I got in Africa. He goes, There's elephants in Africa? And I'm like, dude, I was like, yeah, buddy, there's there's elephants in Africa. And he's like, Do you think that one day God will use all of the elephants to trample and kill all of the armies of Satan, the enemy. And you're like And murder them all.

SPEAKER_01

And I'm like, yeah, bro, that's a pretty good idea. He's like, Good strat.

SPEAKER_05

Awesome. I have your blue pen. Oh my god, but he's like, Yes. And then he just walked off, and I'm like, that was the best conversation I've ever had. Bible says we gotta destroy the sucker. And like, he's like, it's somebody, he's like, dang the Bible says oh. He's like, we have a baseball bat in the card. He's like, oh gosh, he's like, you're right, the Bible said he's definitely gonna cut. There's like this old couple next to us at a light last thing. And they were sitting there, and you could tell they were not looking at us. He's like, let's raise something like stop. So loud. And then we ended up like in the next line with them. And we're like, oh
