00:00:54.112 --> 00:00:56.615
Barry is also the host of the tv show
00:00:57.415 --> 00:00:59.551
Car crazy, and he also has another side to his life.
00:00:59.551 --> 00:01:02.621
We're going to explore it a bit.
00:01:02.621 --> 00:01:03.955
He's the founder and president of ignite america

And the author of a new book, ignite your life.
00:01:06.958 --> 00:01:09.928
It's nice to see you again, sir.
00:01:09.928 --> 00:01:11.730
Awesome, awesome.
00:01:11.730 --> 00:01:13.665
Well, every time where we get to talk, it goes so fast.
00:01:13.665 --> 00:01:16.835
Because we are.
00:01:16.835 --> 00:01:17.702
We are soulmates.
00:01:17.702 --> 00:01:18.637
I mean, we both have this passion for souls,
00:01:18.637 --> 00:01:21.673
And now you're reaching millions.
00:01:21.673 --> 00:01:23.642
I mean, tens of it's every day.
00:01:23.642 --> 00:01:25.177
I mean, can you believe where your ministry is?
00:01:25.177 --> 00:01:27.479
Oh, technology is an amazing multiplier.
00:01:27.479 --> 00:01:29.548
It's incredible.
00:01:29.548 --> 00:01:30.515
It really is.
00:01:30.515 --> 00:01:31.550
And you said something on a recent podcast.
00:01:31.550 --> 00:01:34.352
You said that you often listen to several sermons,
00:01:34.352 --> 00:01:36.755
Even on a sunday morning before you go to church.
00:01:36.755 --> 00:01:38.490
For a live show. yes, yes, i've.
00:01:38.490 --> 00:01:40.325
I've a junky mad and, you know, the great voices.
00:01:40.325 --> 00:01:44.362
And so, i get up and i've got my repertoire of, of who i wear
00:01:44.362 --> 00:01:49.000
And so i'm, well, church.
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:50.035
Before i get to church,
00:01:50.035 --> 00:01:51.570
I said, how many sermons have i listened to last sunday?
00:01:51.570 --> 00:01:55.807
Okay.
00:01:55.807 --> 00:01:56.741
Last sunday i was taking prolific notes.
00:01:56.741 --> 00:01:59.144
I mean, it was a great sermon,
00:01:59.144 --> 00:02:01.513
And in
00:02:01.713 --> 00:02:02.647
The middle of it, i digressed for a moment.
00:02:02.647 --> 00:02:05.350
How many thousands of sermons.
00:02:05.951 --> 00:02:09.221
How. many thousands of sermons
00:02:09.821 --> 00:02:11.523
Have i heard and listened to and taken notes to from videos?
00:02:11.523 --> 00:02:15.026
I've been taking notes because you remember,
00:02:15.026 --> 00:02:17.262
Folks, you remember sermons
00:02:17.262 --> 00:02:18.630
A lot better if you take notes on them
00:02:18.630 --> 00:02:20.565
And you use those notes going forward.
00:02:20.565 --> 00:02:22.901
And i think what other subject is there
00:02:22.901 --> 00:02:26.004
In existence that you can hear
00:02:26.605 --> 00:02:29.040
About that many times not personally
00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:32.077
Jerking your emotions, falling to your knees.
00:02:32.077 --> 00:02:34.579
And and 80 years later,
00:02:34.579 --> 00:02:38.216
Ten thousands sermons later, i'm learning, we can't learn.
00:02:38.216 --> 00:02:42.487
And the majesty of god.
00:02:42.487 --> 00:02:44.623
I mean, as closer we we get closer and closer.
00:02:44.623 --> 00:02:46.992
But the more the closer we get, the bigger
00:02:46.992 --> 00:02:49.160
He gets in, the smaller we get, right?
00:02:49.160 --> 00:02:51.096
I mean, it's just like, god,
00:02:51.096 --> 00:02:53.498
Have mercy on.
00:02:53.832 --> 00:02:54.933
How can we possibly know you like we know
00:02:54.933 --> 00:02:57.135
And be loved by you like you love
00:02:57.135 --> 00:02:59.271
Is is this secret of whether.
00:02:59.271 --> 00:03:00.905
Our faith is not a hobby, where we master a set of skills
00:03:00.905 --> 00:03:03.508
And then we put it on the shelf? oh.
00:03:03.508 --> 00:03:05.644
I'm curious, how did you arrive at a place with the faith?
00:03:05.644 --> 00:03:08.446
It's that dynamic.
00:03:08.446 --> 00:03:10.115
Well, i, i, i don't have any excuse.
00:03:10.115 --> 00:03:13.051
I have,
00:03:13.051 --> 00:03:14.286
It goes back for generations on both sides of my family.
00:03:14.286 --> 00:03:17.289
I, i won't go into it,
00:03:17.289 --> 00:03:18.890
But it's rich heritage on both sides of my family.
00:03:18.890 --> 00:03:22.827
Frank mcguire, senator maguire's car wax, family business, 19
00:03:22.827 --> 00:03:26.831
01i have his book on systematic theology on my desk.
00:03:26.831 --> 00:03:30.902
He devoured it.
00:03:30.902 --> 00:03:32.671
And that was the the the man who started my business.
00:03:32.671 --> 00:03:36.508
My mother's parents were both pioneer preachers
00:03:36.508 --> 00:03:40.211
In texas back in the late 1800s and trusted god.
00:03:40.211 --> 00:03:44.182
I mean, all that came down there,
00:03:44.182 --> 00:03:45.417
I knew them both sets of parents bless me.
00:03:45.417 --> 00:03:48.019
And i've been church. i've been i was raised the church few.
00:03:48.019 --> 00:03:50.689
You know, i mean, i just i had it all.
00:03:50.689 --> 00:03:52.424
But all that having said, first year marriage.
00:03:52.424 --> 00:03:56.928
Karen, i are you know, i was trained well,
00:03:56.928 --> 00:04:00.432
So we're giving of our time, our money, everything
00:04:00.432 --> 00:04:02.767
Sacrificially in all in all in loving.
00:04:02.767 --> 00:04:05.337
The pastor didn't have any joy.
00:04:05.337 --> 00:04:08.406
And i would suspect that a lot of folks
00:04:08.406 --> 00:04:10.008
Watching right now are in that role.
00:04:10.008 --> 00:04:11.476
Do you know about the statistics?
00:04:11.476 --> 00:04:13.011
Say about 70% of christians are living in fear?
00:04:13.011 --> 00:04:17.315
There's no joy
00:04:17.649 --> 00:04:18.750
In living in in fear and without it reward with fear.
00:04:18.750 --> 00:04:22.754
You have no faith, and without faith you can't please god.
00:04:22.754 --> 00:04:26.524
And of course faith opens a door when you have complete faith.
00:04:26.524 --> 00:04:29.260
Then he says in james one, i'll answer your prayers.
00:04:29.260 --> 00:04:32.263
Proverbs three five as i direct your steps should oh, john 5011
00:04:32.263 --> 00:04:35.633
Your joy, my joy be with you, your joy before.
00:04:35.633 --> 00:04:38.036
I mean, those are great promises,
00:04:38.036 --> 00:04:39.371
But how do you get to wholehearted faith?
00:04:39.371 --> 00:04:41.639
And what i never realized was that sharing faith
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.910
And having wholehearted faith are two sides of the same coin.
00:04:45.910 --> 00:04:49.180
And i learned that through a guy named herb lingwood.
00:04:49.180 --> 00:04:51.282
He was the legal affairs secretary for governor
00:04:51.282 --> 00:04:54.452
Ronald reagan.
00:04:54.452 --> 00:04:55.487
I go way back as 1973,
00:04:55.487 --> 00:04:58.523
And i was sitting beside him at a luncheon,
00:04:58.523 --> 00:05:01.993
And for the hour before he spoke, he talked to me
00:05:01.993 --> 00:05:04.963
Nonstop about his faith sharing experiences.
00:05:04.963 --> 00:05:08.767
He never mentioned reagan,
00:05:08.767 --> 00:05:10.969
And he was
00:05:11.269 --> 00:05:12.203
Laughing and sometimes crying, then laughing.
00:05:12.203 --> 00:05:15.940
And last night, you'll never guess what happened last night.
00:05:15.940 --> 00:05:18.877
And i saw on display a christian who were sold out to god,
00:05:18.877 --> 00:05:23.782
Who got his joy, his energy from sharing his faith.
00:05:23.782 --> 00:05:27.252
That was revolutionary to me.
00:05:27.252 --> 00:05:28.420
I never heard that before.
00:05:28.420 --> 00:05:30.555
And so karen, i shared with her after i
00:05:30.555 --> 00:05:33.725
After driving away, i said he i want what he has.
00:05:33.725 --> 00:05:37.762
So we start sharing our faith in 1973.
00:05:37.762 --> 00:05:41.132
Wow. and doing it poorly.
00:05:41.132 --> 00:05:44.002
And at first of all,
00:05:44.002 --> 00:05:45.103
It took all the various programs and i and i love
00:05:45.103 --> 00:05:47.972
And thank god for all evangelism programs
00:05:47.972 --> 00:05:49.741
Have led millions to the lord.
00:05:49.741 --> 00:05:51.342
I didn't do well with them getting the points down.
00:05:51.342 --> 00:05:55.413
I just was too clumsy. i just didn't work.
00:05:55.413 --> 00:05:58.116
And then i read the scripture, this wonderful scripture
00:05:58.116 --> 00:06:01.019
I'd read a thousand times, though.
00:06:01.019 --> 00:06:02.921
No, no, you're my disciple by your love.
00:06:02.921 --> 00:06:06.324
Well, i know i can do that.
00:06:06.925 --> 00:06:09.060
So we decide we're going to start loving everybody
00:06:09.060 --> 00:06:11.663
All day long. just love everybody.
00:06:11.663 --> 00:06:13.298
See what happens.
00:06:13.298 --> 00:06:14.532
Well, you know what?
00:06:14.532 --> 00:06:15.099
When you love,
00:06:15.099 --> 00:06:16.634
That's god's holy spirit, love flowing through you.
00:06:16.634 --> 00:06:20.605
I'm convinced.
00:06:20.939 --> 00:06:21.639
Now, this is my theology.
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.775
I think it's true.
00:06:23.775 --> 00:06:25.210
God's love. and i just love it.
00:06:25.210 --> 00:06:26.478
It's it's salvation.
00:06:26.478 --> 00:06:28.012
When he loves us, he's salvation us.
00:06:28.012 --> 00:06:30.582
He's drawing us to him. that's right.
00:06:30.582 --> 00:06:32.717
That's that's not just love.
00:06:32.717 --> 00:06:34.285
That's everything about who god is.
00:06:34.285 --> 00:06:36.187
Bring us to him. salvation.
00:06:36.187 --> 00:06:38.022
And when we love others, it's he.
00:06:38.022 --> 00:06:40.758
If we allow him, his holy spirit speaking through
00:06:40.758 --> 00:06:44.529
Us, and we're salvation to others, he's salvation.
00:06:44.529 --> 00:06:47.632
Others through us.
00:06:47.632 --> 00:06:48.933
That means we don't have secular conversations.
00:06:48.933 --> 00:06:51.669
There's there's nothing in our lives, in secular.
00:06:51.669 --> 00:06:53.571
Everything we do is sacred. it all is.
00:06:53.571 --> 00:06:56.508
And then i come to realize that everything we say
00:06:56.508 --> 00:06:58.776
And do all day long is moving.
00:06:58.776 --> 00:07:00.245
Everybody watching us closer, further away from god.
00:07:00.245 --> 00:07:03.715
And that goes back to loving god and loving your neighbor.
00:07:03.715 --> 00:07:06.684
If you do that, that's all you need.
00:07:06.684 --> 00:07:09.153
I don't ask anything else you will love if i love,
00:07:09.153 --> 00:07:11.890
But as i kept working on that a little bit
00:07:11.890 --> 00:07:14.926
And so i started realizing if i love my neighbor as myself,
00:07:14.926 --> 00:07:19.130
I'm just concerned
00:07:19.564 --> 00:07:20.732
For their salvation as i am my own salvation.
00:07:20.732 --> 00:07:23.935
And with 80% of people
00:07:24.402 --> 00:07:25.637
Around us at any given moment, unless we're in church loss,
00:07:25.637 --> 00:07:29.340
You know, they're not evil.
00:07:29.941 --> 00:07:31.709
They're lost. right?
00:07:31.709 --> 00:07:33.077
They don't have shoes,
00:07:33.077 --> 00:07:35.179
They're lost,
00:07:35.179 --> 00:07:36.381
And they're going to stay lost because they're not in church.
00:07:36.381 --> 00:07:38.516
They're going to stay in loss and lost.
00:07:38.516 --> 00:07:39.684
Somebody tells them and we're not telling them.
00:07:39.684 --> 00:07:42.854
And that's the reason for ignite.
00:07:42.854 --> 00:07:44.622
And i use the term because when you do that,
00:07:44.622 --> 00:07:48.192
When you allow the holy spirit
00:07:48.192 --> 00:07:50.361
To not not as you're reading a script,
00:07:50.361 --> 00:07:52.196
But you just allow the holy spirit
00:07:52.196 --> 00:07:53.565
To give you the words to say in luke 12 actually says,
00:07:53.565 --> 00:07:56.434
The holy spirit give you the word.
00:07:56.434 --> 00:07:57.936
Say so you don't have to prepare,
00:07:57.936 --> 00:07:59.470
Don't have to be worried, and you do it routinely.
00:07:59.470 --> 00:08:02.840
But you know what i'm talking about.
00:08:02.840 --> 00:08:03.875
But the average person so worried fear again.
00:08:03.875 --> 00:08:08.580
You know, satan, fear not only paralyzes
00:08:08.580 --> 00:08:12.483
It sterilizes us, it keeps us so we can't reproduce.
00:08:12.483 --> 00:08:16.321
And that's why our numbers we're not reproducing ourselves,
00:08:16.321 --> 00:08:18.790
We're just going down and down.
00:08:18.790 --> 00:08:20.592
He doesn't want us to know that the most important thing in
00:08:20.592 --> 00:08:23.094
Our lives is sharing our faith.
00:08:23.094 --> 00:08:24.395
That's why it's the great commission.
00:08:24.395 --> 00:08:26.030
It ignites us.
00:08:26.030 --> 00:08:27.599
It goes on.
00:08:27.599 --> 00:08:28.700
And we've talked about this.
00:08:28.700 --> 00:08:29.901
You have a gift for sharing a story with somebody.
00:08:29.901 --> 00:08:32.437
And then we know that the outcomes in god's hands.
00:08:32.437 --> 00:08:35.707
Absolutely.
00:08:36.040 --> 00:08:36.608
So i want to come back.
00:08:36.608 --> 00:08:37.542
We're going to take a short break okay.
00:08:37.542 --> 00:08:38.910
And we'll come back and talk about that.
00:08:38.910 --> 00:08:40.979
But there's a lot more to we'll even get to some auto polish,
00:08:40.979 --> 00:08:43.348
I promise.
00:08:43.348 --> 00:08:44.882
It is an exciting time.
00:08:44.882 --> 00:08:46.484
We've got a man who has a passion
00:08:46.484 --> 00:08:48.086
To see people find their way into the kingdom of god,
00:08:48.086 --> 00:08:50.622
And he's a clever businessman as well.
00:08:50.622 --> 00:08:53.391
We'll be right back in just a moment.
00:08:53.391 --> 00:09:01.007
We'll be right back in just a moment.
00:09:01.007 --> 00:09:05.871
We're back now with barry mcguire.
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:08.540
He's a native of paradise valley,
00:09:08.540 --> 00:09:10.242
Arizona, and a man who's active in many ministries.
00:09:10.242 --> 00:09:14.346
You've spoken a lot about being happy with your faith,
00:09:14.346 --> 00:09:17.416
But yeah,
00:09:17.416 --> 00:09:18.617
I know that that came to you after some really tough times.
00:09:18.617 --> 00:09:20.419
You mentioned
00:09:20.419 --> 00:09:20.986
The venture capital guy
00:09:20.986 --> 00:09:22.788
That actually tried to throw you out of your job,
00:09:22.788 --> 00:09:25.124
And you spoke about your daughter, that you had your life
00:09:25.124 --> 00:09:27.593
Lost to addictions.
00:09:27.593 --> 00:09:29.194
I was i was dying in the hospital.
00:09:29.194 --> 00:09:30.863
God gave god gave me a virus.
00:09:30.863 --> 00:09:32.798
He puts you through the fire to build your faith.
00:09:32.798 --> 00:09:36.335
And he's done that many times in our lives.
00:09:36.335 --> 00:09:38.070
When you realize he's in charge, it doesn't bother you.
00:09:38.070 --> 00:09:40.606
In fact, when bad things happen to us.
00:09:40.606 --> 00:09:42.174
Scared, i get excited.
00:09:42.174 --> 00:09:43.642
I say, okay, what's he up to now?
00:09:43.642 --> 00:09:46.345
And you know what? he always is
00:09:46.345 --> 00:09:48.313
Because we live for rome.
00:09:48.881 --> 00:09:50.582
Romans 828 and we know this, but we don't really know what
00:09:50.582 --> 00:09:54.520
He says.
00:09:54.787 --> 00:09:55.821
I promise you everything, even the bad stuff.
00:09:55.821 --> 00:09:58.023
Even when you lose your 49 year old daughter,
00:09:58.023 --> 00:10:00.259
I promise you everything will work together for good.
00:10:00.259 --> 00:10:03.462
If you do two things.
00:10:03.462 --> 00:10:05.130
If you love me and you love your neighbor as yourself, what?
00:10:05.130 --> 00:10:08.901
That's not quite what it said, but it is.
00:10:08.901 --> 00:10:10.269
It's the same thing, he said. that's all i ask you.
00:10:10.269 --> 00:10:12.304
You are fulfill the whole law if you love
00:10:12.304 --> 00:10:14.073
Your neighbor as yourself, because if you do that,
00:10:14.073 --> 00:10:17.376
It changes you.
00:10:17.376 --> 00:10:19.578
You realize everything i'm doing, you're doing,
00:10:19.578 --> 00:10:22.915
Folks, is is impacting people.
00:10:22.915 --> 00:10:26.151
So the way you dress, what you talk about,
00:10:26.151 --> 00:10:29.221
What you laugh at, what you indulge in,
00:10:29.221 --> 00:10:32.624
What you partake of, all that you do is like,
00:10:32.624 --> 00:10:35.327
Will that bring them closer to jesus?
00:10:35.327 --> 00:10:38.163
And when you know you and god's using you that well,
00:10:38.163 --> 00:10:42.968
I wrote a book about it, you know,
00:10:42.968 --> 00:10:44.737
Ignite your life and here's why.
00:10:44.737 --> 00:10:46.371
And the bottom line is defeat fear with effortless faith.
00:10:46.371 --> 00:10:49.141
About 70% of christians are living in fear.
00:10:49.141 --> 00:10:51.376
How do you feel defeated with effortless face when you
00:10:51.376 --> 00:10:54.546
When you allow the holy spirit to speak through you as you're
00:10:54.546 --> 00:10:57.883
Touching people all day long, if only to say, god bless you
00:10:57.883 --> 00:11:01.453
When they asked you a question in your ministry,
00:11:01.453 --> 00:11:03.822
A holy spirit gives you the words to say.
00:11:03.822 --> 00:11:06.091
It's super natural. i had that several times a day.
00:11:06.091 --> 00:11:08.994
Thousands of people were doing
00:11:08.994 --> 00:11:10.195
The ad, or maybe millions, but thousands that we know of
00:11:10.195 --> 00:11:13.365
Every year.
00:11:13.365 --> 00:11:14.533
When you have that intimacy with god, you know, god is
00:11:14.533 --> 00:11:17.269
He's at that moment.
00:11:17.269 --> 00:11:18.570
I'm right where god wants me to be.
00:11:18.570 --> 00:11:21.273
And i'm giving the words he's
00:11:21.273 --> 00:11:22.708
Saying, the life changing in front of me.
00:11:22.708 --> 00:11:24.276
I gotta tell you, that's exciting.
00:11:24.276 --> 00:11:27.713
And that's why let me just say one last scripture isaiah 4310.
00:11:27.713 --> 00:11:31.984
I love the book of isaiah is i know you do.
00:11:32.851 --> 00:11:35.888
Isaiah 4310 is he says,
00:11:35.888 --> 00:11:39.024
I put you as my witness, so they'll believe.
00:11:39.024 --> 00:11:42.861
No, he didn't say that.
00:11:42.861 --> 00:11:45.030
He said, i put you as i were, so that you will know
00:11:45.030 --> 00:11:47.699
And understand and believe that i am god.
00:11:47.699 --> 00:11:51.937
Because when you have that intimacy with god,
00:11:51.937 --> 00:11:54.840
Most christians have never experienced it.
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.542
They're on their way to heaven, but they're not having fun.
00:11:56.542 --> 00:11:59.211
But when you know you're right where god wants you to be
00:11:59.211 --> 00:12:01.480
And you're experience him speaking through you,
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.215
I gotta tell you that ignite your life
00:12:03.215 --> 00:12:05.551
And you have no more fear.
00:12:05.551 --> 00:12:06.952
It's god. you don't have to work at it.
00:12:06.952 --> 00:12:08.520
It's just god, that's pretty cool.
00:12:08.520 --> 00:12:12.090
Well, every time i'm around you, your enthusiasm leaves me
00:12:12.090 --> 00:12:15.894
Fired up. well, and that's it.
00:12:15.894 --> 00:12:17.362
We sharpen each other right as you sharpen me as well.
00:12:17.362 --> 00:12:20.666
So it's what we do as the body of christ.
00:12:20.666 --> 00:12:22.668
I just have to.
00:12:22.668 --> 00:12:23.635
I'm a layman. i support what you're doing.
00:12:23.635 --> 00:12:24.937
I'm a third party endorser for your message.
00:12:24.937 --> 00:12:27.339
This is how i see myself.
00:12:27.339 --> 00:12:29.575
Well, i mean, obviously, you
00:12:30.175 --> 00:12:31.176
Have a passion around your ministry,
00:12:31.176 --> 00:12:32.644
And people can find more about it at ignite america.com.
00:12:32.644 --> 00:12:35.747

We'll give you all the bells and whistles.
00:12:36.915 --> 00:12:38.550
And, do we have time to talk about this card?
00:12:38.550 --> 00:12:40.586
Are we out of time? no. we're good. just real quick.
00:12:40.586 --> 00:12:42.487
You have this casual conversation
00:12:42.487 --> 00:12:44.156
In the line at starbucks or in the aisle at walmart,
00:12:44.156 --> 00:12:47.192
Or in a waiting room or wherever you are.
00:12:47.192 --> 00:12:48.660
You're surrounded by people. love on them.
00:12:48.660 --> 00:12:51.196
Put your phone away. love on them.
00:12:51.196 --> 00:12:53.065
They will light up.
00:12:53.065 --> 00:12:54.166
Tell them what a beautiful tattoo
00:12:54.166 --> 00:12:55.801
Could you tell me about that too?
00:12:55.801 --> 00:12:57.269
They'll see you're loving them
00:12:57.269 --> 00:12:58.770
And within moments they'll start telling
00:12:58.770 --> 00:13:00.539
You and opening up and give you.
00:13:00.539 --> 00:13:02.107
And you have this wonderful conversation.
00:13:02.107 --> 00:13:03.775
Now it's over 5 or 6 minutes.
00:13:03.775 --> 00:13:05.377
You're never going to see them again.
00:13:05.377 --> 00:13:07.045
Then you say to them, sound
00:13:07.045 --> 00:13:08.113
Like you'd like to know more about god.
00:13:08.113 --> 00:13:09.481
It's really just what their appetite.
00:13:09.481 --> 00:13:11.717
And they'll always say, yes, yes, i would that we have a card
00:13:11.717 --> 00:13:15.954
Seeking god.
00:13:16.288 --> 00:13:17.489
There is a huge website and i explained,
00:13:17.489 --> 00:13:20.225
If you go to this website,
00:13:20.225 --> 00:13:21.560
It'll tell you how much god loves you,
00:13:21.560 --> 00:13:23.795
How he has a plan for your life, has it had
00:13:23.795 --> 00:13:25.530
He has a place reserved for you in heaven?
00:13:25.530 --> 00:13:27.499
If they'll take this card,
00:13:27.499 --> 00:13:29.401
I can get all that off this website.
00:13:29.401 --> 00:13:30.903
Yeah.
00:13:30.903 --> 00:13:32.271
And so you have no idea how far that will go.
00:13:32.271 --> 00:13:34.439
But instead of just having
00:13:34.439 --> 00:13:35.641
Conversation started with you, actually give them a path.
00:13:35.641 --> 00:13:39.077
It's it's a valuable card.
00:13:39.077 --> 00:13:41.313
We have hundreds of thousands of these out.
00:13:41.313 --> 00:13:43.682

00:13:43.682 --> 00:13:45.951
We send you a whole pack of free.
00:13:45.951 --> 00:13:47.719
It will such a deal.
00:13:47.719 --> 00:13:50.255
It works.
00:13:50.255 --> 00:13:51.123
It really works well.
00:13:51.123 --> 00:13:52.190
On some of the people watching,
00:13:52.190 --> 00:13:53.558
I suspect know you from your auto polish.
00:13:53.558 --> 00:13:56.528
Yeah, and i think that story is fascinating enough.
00:13:56.528 --> 00:13:59.531
Can we give him the short version on that?
00:13:59.531 --> 00:14:01.266
Which one? but you will.
00:14:01.266 --> 00:14:02.334
You didn't start the company.
00:14:02.334 --> 00:14:03.902
You actually took something that. you're great. yeah.
00:14:03.902 --> 00:14:06.271
My grandfather started making furniture polish back in 1901.
00:14:06.271 --> 00:14:09.474
He was
00:14:09.474 --> 00:14:10.742
He was obsessed with creating perfect furniture, black lacquer
00:14:10.742 --> 00:14:13.011
Furniture and all the horse's carriage manufacturers.
00:14:13.011 --> 00:14:16.281
Half of them were in indiana,
00:14:16.281 --> 00:14:17.783
And they all being painted with black lacquer.
00:14:17.783 --> 00:14:19.651
They took us furniture polish without permission
00:14:19.651 --> 00:14:23.088
And put it on his carriage.
00:14:23.689 --> 00:14:24.823
That launches.
00:14:24.823 --> 00:14:26.124
And the fun thing to me is now
00:14:26.124 --> 00:14:27.693
We're 30 million car guys out there.
00:14:27.693 --> 00:14:29.161
We are the car guys.
00:14:29.161 --> 00:14:30.128
Car wax, if you ask any car guy,
00:14:30.128 --> 00:14:32.331
What's mcguire's most famous for?
00:14:32.331 --> 00:14:34.099
They will tell you.
00:14:34.099 --> 00:14:35.233
Creating a perfect finish on black paint.
00:14:35.233 --> 00:14:38.770
I'm honoring my dad's, my granddad's legacy.
00:14:38.770 --> 00:14:42.240
Is that cool? is that cool?
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.643
What he started i'm still doing and he honor god,
00:14:44.643 --> 00:14:47.579
And he shared his faith, and here i am.
00:14:47.579 --> 00:14:49.281
I just
00:14:49.281 --> 00:14:49.982
I must, of all people, i cannot
00:14:49.982 --> 00:14:51.350
Believe i get to do what i do and every day
00:14:51.350 --> 00:14:54.519
Have these experiences, intimate experiences with god.
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:56.888
And they're all around us everywhere we go.
00:14:56.888 --> 00:14:59.191
Hey everybody.
00:14:59.191 --> 00:15:00.158
You talk dude, just, just just be kind to.
00:15:00.158 --> 00:15:02.227
And don't just be kind because we're going to be in kind.
00:15:02.227 --> 00:15:05.364
Not mentioning god being kind and then say, and god bless you.
00:15:05.364 --> 00:15:09.601
And don't look at you and say it with your eyes and say,
00:15:09.601 --> 00:15:12.471
God bless you and it will bring tears.
00:15:12.471 --> 00:15:15.574
There is about half the time they want they want to know god.
00:15:15.574 --> 00:15:18.610
They're searching for god, they're starving for love,
00:15:18.610 --> 00:15:21.246
And they don't have a good impression of christians.
00:15:21.246 --> 00:15:23.815
Most christians are not
00:15:23.815 --> 00:15:24.950
Christians are not christians because of christians,
00:15:24.950 --> 00:15:27.819
Because we're doing all kind of thing.
00:15:27.819 --> 00:15:29.254
We're the indulgences, the language.
00:15:29.254 --> 00:15:31.656
I mean, that's christian,
00:15:31.656 --> 00:15:33.291
You know, we're all witnesses, some mr.
00:15:34.092 --> 00:15:36.228
Witnesses for the prosecution.
00:15:36.228 --> 00:15:38.864
But, you know, in a season when there's so much division
00:15:38.864 --> 00:15:41.166
And anger and hatred, you're a living reminder
00:15:41.166 --> 00:15:44.069
That the love of god can bring people together.
00:15:44.069 --> 00:15:46.271
And all those people
00:15:46.271 --> 00:15:47.339
And the politician, you're hating everything.
00:15:47.339 --> 00:15:49.041
God loves them, and they have an excuse.
00:15:49.041 --> 00:15:52.044
They're lost.
00:15:52.044 --> 00:15:53.645
And it's our burden to tell them they're lost because of us.
00:15:53.645 --> 00:15:56.415
The church. what's our excuse?
00:15:56.415 --> 00:15:57.749
We don't have an excuse, and we're running out of time.
00:15:57.749 --> 00:16:01.219
I, you know.
00:16:01.219 --> 00:16:02.621
We've got to take a short break, okay?
00:16:02.621 --> 00:16:04.256
And you stay with us for one more quick segment.
00:16:04.256 --> 00:16:06.825
We'll be right back.
00:16:06.825 --> 00:16:15.004
We'll be right back.
00:16:15.004 --> 00:16:20.205
But we're back.
00:16:20.572 --> 00:16:21.239
And my guest is barry mcguire.
00:16:21.239 --> 00:16:23.175
Barry, there's a quote on the back of your book
00:16:23.175 --> 00:16:25.377
That i want you to respond to it. it's intriguing to me.
00:16:25.377 --> 00:16:27.579
The battle is not in our streets or in washington, d.c.
00:16:27.579 --> 00:16:31.016
The battle is in our churches
00:16:31.016 --> 00:16:32.384
And in the heart and soul of every christian, i believe it.
00:16:32.384 --> 00:16:35.520
Can you tell us what you meant?
00:16:35.520 --> 00:16:37.055
It's a spiritual battle, isn't it?
00:16:37.055 --> 00:16:38.423
It is.
00:16:38.423 --> 00:16:39.424
And satan is a full on attack on the church
00:16:39.424 --> 00:16:41.326
And keeping us paralyzed, sterilized in fear.
00:16:41.326 --> 00:16:44.029
And he's laughing at us.
00:16:44.029 --> 00:16:45.831
And when we have fear, we're offending god.
00:16:45.831 --> 00:16:49.468
We're saying, god, i don't trust you, and satan's laughing.
00:16:49.468 --> 00:16:52.337
If that doesn't get you off your chair and get good
00:16:52.337 --> 00:16:54.773
And share your faith, nothing will end.
00:16:54.773 --> 00:16:57.008
You know, most importantly,
00:16:57.008 --> 00:16:58.610
When we get to heaven,
00:16:58.610 --> 00:16:59.644
The only thing that's going to matter
00:16:59.644 --> 00:17:00.779
Is how many bottles of car wax i saw. no, no, no.
00:17:00.779 --> 00:17:03.115
The only thing that we were talking about, car wax.
00:17:03.115 --> 00:17:05.450
I love my business.
00:17:05.450 --> 00:17:06.618
The only thing, no matter when we have it,
00:17:06.618 --> 00:17:07.819
How many people are in heaven because of our influence?
00:17:07.819 --> 00:17:10.088
It's about souls.
00:17:10.088 --> 00:17:10.989
Our whole life is about souls.
00:17:10.989 --> 00:17:12.424
It's about getting ourselves
00:17:12.424 --> 00:17:14.092
To have a god goddamn savings and tickets to heaven.
00:17:14.092 --> 00:17:16.027
He made us for heaven.
00:17:16.027 --> 00:17:17.095
And then working together with him and led by him
00:17:17.095 --> 00:17:20.365
To get as many people
00:17:20.365 --> 00:17:21.466
Into heaven as possible before we hear that trumpet.
00:17:21.466 --> 00:17:24.669
And quite frankly, they're left behind. and that's,
00:17:24.669 --> 00:17:27.973
That's that's
00:17:28.340 --> 00:17:29.341
That's the thought that should wake all of us
00:17:29.341 --> 00:17:31.009
Up and keep us, keep us on our toes.
00:17:31.009 --> 00:17:33.145
Absolutely.
00:17:33.145 --> 00:17:34.813
Well, i've got one quick question.
00:17:34.813 --> 00:17:36.181
We're doing construction on our campus. yes.
00:17:36.181 --> 00:17:38.316
So i have to drive through a construction site.
00:17:38.316 --> 00:17:40.018
Coming and going every day. yes.
00:17:40.018 --> 00:17:41.486
My car is black. yes.
00:17:41.486 --> 00:17:42.954
I can't keep it clean. yes.
00:17:42.954 --> 00:17:44.956
Have you got a product suggestion?
00:17:44.956 --> 00:17:47.092
The everyday product that everybody uses
00:17:47.092 --> 00:17:49.060
And they use, we have 100 where you have
00:17:49.060 --> 00:17:50.395
75 products on the shelf at walmart. okay.
00:17:50.395 --> 00:17:52.831
But everybody uses quick detailer.
00:17:52.831 --> 00:17:55.767
Get to ultimate quick detailer because you could just spray
00:17:55.767 --> 00:17:59.037
It real quick and it takes all that dust off.
00:17:59.037 --> 00:18:01.173
But you need to do it regularly and it won't scratch.
00:18:01.173 --> 00:18:03.375
It's amazing. you're spray it and wipe it.
00:18:03.375 --> 00:18:05.577
It'll keep your car looking like it's detailed every day.
00:18:05.577 --> 00:18:08.079
I'll take it.
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:09.381
I want to thank you.
00:18:09.381 --> 00:18:10.415
You have reminded all of us that in the midst
00:18:10.415 --> 00:18:12.217
Of a very polarized culture.
00:18:12.217 --> 00:18:14.386
Yeah, we're not powerless.
00:18:14.386 --> 00:18:15.787
We can be an expression of the light of god.
00:18:15.787 --> 00:18:18.990
Mcguire. you're an inspiration.
00:18:18.990 --> 00:18:20.091
Thank you, thank you. amazing. thank you.
00:18:20.091 --> 00:18:22.494
Greatly honored.
00:18:22.494 --> 00:18:23.929
I hope you'll come back again.
00:18:24.529 --> 00:18:26.064
We want to hear more about your mission.
00:18:26.064 --> 00:18:28.266
I'll do it.
00:18:28.266 --> 00:18:29.167
We'll be here, god willing, in a moment.
00:18:29.167 --> 00:18:31.469
Stay tuned.
00:18:31.469 --> 00:18:32.404
We're going to read some of your emails.
00:18:32.404 --> 00:18:37.002
We're going to read some of your emails.
00:18:37.002 --> 00:18:42.315
Just a quick reminder.

00:18:58.464 --> 00:19:02.435
Jane from michigan wrote, with the current world
00:19:02.435 --> 00:19:04.604
Situation, would you say that this is part of god's plan
00:19:04.604 --> 00:19:07.840
Or perhaps the beginning of the birth pains?
00:19:07.840 --> 00:19:10.343
Or we don't know for sure?
00:19:10.343 --> 00:19:11.844
Well, jane, i'm certain it's a part of god's plans.
00:19:12.878 --> 00:19:15.615
I'm of the opinion that that the beginning of birth
00:19:15.615 --> 00:19:18.618
Pains is appropriate.
00:19:18.618 --> 00:19:20.319
Though my father was a veterinarian,
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:21.821
I've helped a lot of things be born.
00:19:21.821 --> 00:19:23.889
Puppies and kittens and calves and foals.
00:19:23.889 --> 00:19:27.026
I can tell you this.
00:19:27.026 --> 00:19:28.194
Once the birth pains begin, they will continue to gain
00:19:28.194 --> 00:19:32.098
Both in frequency and strength until there's a delivery.
00:19:32.098 --> 00:19:35.434
The timeline of that is always a mystery,
00:19:35.434 --> 00:19:37.770
But i don't think there's any question.
00:19:37.770 --> 00:19:38.971
God is moving in the earth,
00:19:38.971 --> 00:19:40.172
And he's moving us towards the culmination of the age.
00:19:40.172 --> 00:19:43.643
David from washington wrote, i was flabbergasted to discover
00:19:43.643 --> 00:19:47.046
That the majority of senate democrats
00:19:47.046 --> 00:19:48.547
Voted against mike huckabee as ambassador to israel.
00:19:48.547 --> 00:19:51.751
We know the history of mr.
00:19:51.751 --> 00:19:52.718
Huckabee's trips to israel since the 70s,
00:19:52.718 --> 00:19:54.587
And his support for those poor israelis
00:19:54.587 --> 00:19:56.756
Directly after october the 7th.
00:19:56.756 --> 00:19:58.591
Can you help me understand
00:19:58.591 --> 00:19:59.759
These buffoons who voted against him?
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:02.695
I'm afraid i can.
00:20:03.129 --> 00:20:04.397
I think they would vote against the lord himself
00:20:04.397 --> 00:20:06.632
If he didn't identify with the party they belong to.
00:20:06.632 --> 00:20:09.635
They're not making decisions for the best of our country.
00:20:09.635 --> 00:20:12.071
They're making decisions out of selfish ambition.
00:20:12.071 --> 00:20:15.641
We've got to pay more attention and select better leaders.
00:20:15.641 --> 00:20:19.011
I want to thank you for watching tonight.
00:20:19.011 --> 00:20:20.646
Maybe you can include a friend. ask them to watch as well.
00:20:20.646 --> 00:20:23.616
I'm alan jackson and i hope to see you again tomorrow.
00:20:23.616 --> 00:20:26.819
Good night.
00:20:26.819 --> 00:20:26.819
