(beeping sound)
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:00.557
- [announcer] coming up tonight on "praise".
00:00:01.458 --> 00:00:05.095
- i was in the streets 'til about the age of 24.
00:00:05.095 --> 00:00:07.630
I was at a period in my life where i was suicidal,
00:00:07.630 --> 00:00:10.033
I was empty, and i felt like i had all the trappings
00:00:10.033 --> 00:00:13.303
Of worldly success.
00:00:13.303 --> 00:00:14.504
You know, a car, money, beautiful girl.
00:00:14.504 --> 00:00:16.473
But something was missing.
00:00:16.473 --> 00:00:18.141
And my girlfriend at the time,
00:00:18.141 --> 00:00:20.310
We lived together, did everything wrong.
00:00:20.310 --> 00:00:21.878
She got into a car accident, came home, put on gospel music.
00:00:21.878 --> 00:00:25.381
It was the first time in my life i ever heard gospel music.
00:00:25.381 --> 00:00:28.284
And she lifted her hands and thanked god for her life.
00:00:28.284 --> 00:00:31.020
And i saw that, and something inside me said,
00:00:31.020 --> 00:00:32.856
Whatever that is, i want that.
00:00:32.856 --> 00:00:35.125
I crawled into a bathroom on my hands and knees
00:00:35.125 --> 00:00:37.127
And started yelling at god.
00:00:37.127 --> 00:00:38.895
Did not know he existed.
00:00:38.895 --> 00:00:40.530
And god saved me in that bathroom, november, 2003.
00:00:40.530 --> 00:00:43.867
(upbeat music)
00:00:43.867 --> 00:00:49.939
- [announcer] tonight on "praise" from dallas,
00:00:50.874 --> 00:00:53.443
Senior pastor tim timberlake
00:00:53.443 --> 00:00:56.112
And visionary leader philip anthony mitchell.
00:00:56.112 --> 00:01:00.683
(upbeat music continues)
00:01:00.683 --> 00:01:03.319
And now your hosts, matt and laurie crouch.
00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:07.457
- but the best introduction for you
00:01:07.457 --> 00:01:09.492
Is a couple of street preachers that love jesus.
00:01:09.492 --> 00:01:12.996
Tim, where do you wanna start this conversation today?
00:01:12.996 --> 00:01:15.832
- oh, man, we can start anywhere.
00:01:15.832 --> 00:01:17.100
I, you know, i'm honored to be sitting here
00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:20.336
With you all beside my brother.
00:01:20.336 --> 00:01:22.005
- yeah. - my best friend, man.
00:01:22.005 --> 00:01:23.473
God is doing some incredible and remarkable things
00:01:23.473 --> 00:01:26.709
Through pastor philip anthony mitchell.
00:01:26.709 --> 00:01:29.078
And you know, i just wanna start by saying i'm amazed
00:01:29.078 --> 00:01:32.949
At how god is using this incredible gift
00:01:32.949 --> 00:01:36.252
To the body of christ.
00:01:36.252 --> 00:01:37.987
Before we started taping, just highlighting,
00:01:37.987 --> 00:01:41.024
A couple of weeks ago, 40,000 plus people
00:01:41.024 --> 00:01:44.227
Showed up for prayer in atlanta.
00:01:44.227 --> 00:01:46.963
Talk a little bit about that, phil.
00:01:46.963 --> 00:01:48.798
- yeah, you know, when my father was alive,
00:01:48.798 --> 00:01:51.734
My father's in glory, now.
00:01:51.734 --> 00:01:53.870
My mother and father followed me to the south.
00:01:53.870 --> 00:01:55.939
And we were living in georgia.
00:01:55.939 --> 00:01:57.574
My parents had a small house about 800 square feet.
00:01:57.574 --> 00:02:00.310
And on wednesday nights we would go into that house
00:02:00.310 --> 00:02:02.812
And we would pray for the space of an hour.
00:02:02.812 --> 00:02:05.148
And we kind of hijacked
00:02:05.148 --> 00:02:06.416
That from acts when the apostles went up
00:02:06.416 --> 00:02:08.518
To the temple for the hour of prayer.
00:02:08.518 --> 00:02:10.553
And it was maybe about eight of us at the time.
00:02:10.553 --> 00:02:12.288
And it grew to maybe about 12, never got more than 25,
00:02:12.288 --> 00:02:14.657
But we would pray every week for an hour.
00:02:14.657 --> 00:02:17.126
And i named it access, you know, for the direct line
00:02:17.126 --> 00:02:20.163
That god gave us as his children.
00:02:20.163 --> 00:02:21.931
And access started to grow and it grew and it grew.
00:02:21.931 --> 00:02:25.201
And just a couple weeks ago, october 12th, 2025,
00:02:25.201 --> 00:02:29.239
We put out a national call for an hour of prayer.
00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:31.874
And in the midst of everything happening right now
00:02:31.874 --> 00:02:33.610
In our nation, things are so visceral on social media.
00:02:33.610 --> 00:02:37.380
There's a lot of bitter divides and racial divides
00:02:37.380 --> 00:02:39.882
And political divides.
00:02:39.882 --> 00:02:41.017
And we put out a national call for prayer
00:02:41.017 --> 00:02:43.119
And over 40,000 people showed up at the state farm arena.
00:02:43.119 --> 00:02:47.090
Georgia world congress center.
00:02:47.090 --> 00:02:48.791
We prayed in the arena, we prayed in the congress center,
00:02:48.791 --> 00:02:51.427
We prayed in the streets, we took over the parks,
00:02:51.427 --> 00:02:53.997
We laid hands on each other.
00:02:53.997 --> 00:02:55.164
We opened god's word.
00:02:55.164 --> 00:02:56.766
We worshiped jesus for a hour after that.
00:02:56.766 --> 00:02:58.534
It was glorious.
00:02:58.534 --> 00:02:59.969
It felt like, for a moment,
00:02:59.969 --> 00:03:01.604
God united the nation and it was powerful.
00:03:01.604 --> 00:03:04.574
- okay, what i love about this is
00:03:04.574 --> 00:03:07.176
They came for an hour.
00:03:07.176 --> 00:03:08.411
- [tim] yeah. - [phil] yeah.
00:03:08.411 --> 00:03:09.946
- to the state farm arena.
00:03:09.946 --> 00:03:11.514
How did you do that?
00:03:11.514 --> 00:03:12.782
- yeah, i mean, i think the lord drew them.
00:03:12.782 --> 00:03:15.652
It's like matt says all the time, if christ be lifted up,
00:03:15.652 --> 00:03:18.621
You know, he would draw all men to himself.
00:03:18.621 --> 00:03:20.523
And we told people, we reminded people
00:03:20.523 --> 00:03:22.925
That our nation right now is sick
00:03:22.925 --> 00:03:24.727
And our nation right now is broken.
00:03:24.727 --> 00:03:26.329
And i reminded people, that if my people, god said-
00:03:26.329 --> 00:03:28.831
- yep. or call by my name would humble themselves and pray.
00:03:28.831 --> 00:03:32.135
Turn from their wicked ways,
00:03:32.135 --> 00:03:34.137
Seek my face before they seek my hand.
00:03:34.137 --> 00:03:37.006
I hear from heaven and i will heal.
00:03:37.006 --> 00:03:38.941
And we put out that charge to the nation.
00:03:38.941 --> 00:03:40.510
And they came from all across the nation.
00:03:40.510 --> 00:03:43.112
They came from around the world as far away as australia.
00:03:43.112 --> 00:03:45.782
- yeah. - [host] wow.
00:03:45.782 --> 00:03:47.083
- people flew in from dubai, from africa,
00:03:47.083 --> 00:03:49.085
From continents, all around the world.
00:03:49.085 --> 00:03:50.987
- all over. - for an hour of prayer.
00:03:50.987 --> 00:03:53.089
- wow.
00:03:53.089 --> 00:03:54.424
- an hour of worship. and that's all we did.
00:03:54.424 --> 00:03:56.292
It was no preaching, it was no celebrities, it was nothing.
00:03:56.292 --> 00:04:00.163
It was just, we're gonna meet with jesus and sit at his feet
00:04:00.163 --> 00:04:03.733
- just jesus. - for an hour.
00:04:03.733 --> 00:04:05.335
- just jesus. for an hour. - i love it.
00:04:05.335 --> 00:04:07.403

- yes, sir.
00:04:25.388 --> 00:04:26.689
- a moment ago, even before we began taping,
00:04:26.689 --> 00:04:29.392
You were sitting there saying, man, what a shock to be here.
00:04:29.392 --> 00:04:34.630
- yeah.
00:04:34.864 --> 00:04:35.965

And, and kind of pick up that story.
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.470
Let's start, gimme a little of your testimony.
00:04:40.470 --> 00:04:42.772
A lot of people know about, you know,
00:04:42.772 --> 00:04:44.440
Street preachers podcast and your church 2819.
00:04:44.440 --> 00:04:48.378
And look, i mean, there's, there's a lot of things
00:04:48.378 --> 00:04:50.980
We could sit here and talk about,
00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:52.749
But maybe some of us need to get to know you a little bit.
00:04:52.749 --> 00:04:55.685
- yeah.
00:04:55.685 --> 00:04:56.919
- start, start with that, that moment.
00:04:56.919 --> 00:04:58.254
- yeah. parents, immigrants from trinidad.
00:04:58.254 --> 00:05:00.790
I was first person in my family, born in the us,
00:05:00.790 --> 00:05:04.026
Was raised in queens, new york,
00:05:04.026 --> 00:05:05.628
And was just far away from god.
00:05:05.628 --> 00:05:07.764
Parents were believers, loved jesus,
00:05:07.764 --> 00:05:10.133
Saw them reading the word, praying.
00:05:10.133 --> 00:05:12.568
It just didn't click for me.
00:05:12.568 --> 00:05:14.203
And i was in the streets till about the age of 24.
00:05:14.203 --> 00:05:17.473
I was at a period in my life where i was suicidal.
00:05:17.473 --> 00:05:19.842
I was empty. and i felt like i had all the trappings
00:05:19.842 --> 00:05:23.112
Of worldly success, you know, car money, beautiful girl.
00:05:23.112 --> 00:05:26.215
But something was missing. and my girlfriend at the time,
00:05:26.215 --> 00:05:30.019
We lived together, did everything wrong.
00:05:30.019 --> 00:05:31.554
She got into a car accident, came home, put on gospel music.
00:05:31.554 --> 00:05:35.091
It's the first time in my life i ever heard gospel music.
00:05:35.091 --> 00:05:37.827
And she lifted her hands and thanked god for her life.
00:05:37.827 --> 00:05:40.763
And i saw that, and something inside me said,
00:05:40.763 --> 00:05:42.632
Whatever that is, i want that. i crawled into a bathroom,
00:05:42.632 --> 00:05:46.035
My hands and knees and started yelling at god.
00:05:46.035 --> 00:05:48.638
Did not know he existed. and god saved me in that bathroom,
00:05:48.638 --> 00:05:52.041
November, 2003. and then six months later,
00:05:52.041 --> 00:05:54.944
He called me to the ministry.
00:05:54.944 --> 00:05:56.746
Ran from that for four years before i finally surrendered.
00:05:56.746 --> 00:05:59.816
And then in october of 2012,
00:05:59.816 --> 00:06:02.151
My wife and 11 other believers, 12 of us total actually,
00:06:02.151 --> 00:06:07.490
We founded what was first victory church.
00:06:08.391 --> 00:06:10.193
And i changed it to 2019 in january 23.
00:06:10.193 --> 00:06:13.830
And what god has done now is
00:06:13.830 --> 00:06:16.499
Beyond anything we would've expected.
00:06:16.499 --> 00:06:18.334
We have the privilege, the awesome privilege to lead
00:06:18.334 --> 00:06:22.205
What i believe is a, a revival happening right now
00:06:22.205 --> 00:06:25.007
In the city of atlanta. and, and i just want
00:06:25.007 --> 00:06:28.311
To exalt the name of christ and win souls to jesus,
00:06:28.311 --> 00:06:32.281
And multiply disciples and spread the gospel.
00:06:32.281 --> 00:06:34.150
That's all i really think about.
00:06:34.150 --> 00:06:36.085
I think for me, my greatest reward is gonna be the crown.
00:06:36.085 --> 00:06:39.789
That's gonna be the crown that i lay down
00:06:40.690 --> 00:06:42.091
At the feet of the savior. right. that's all.
00:06:42.091 --> 00:06:45.728
And that's all of who i am.
00:06:45.728 --> 00:06:47.096
- how would you have connected, you know,
00:06:47.096 --> 00:06:49.632
I know tim, you would've watched your mom and daddy
00:06:49.632 --> 00:06:53.202
Hosting this program. - [tim] yeah.
00:06:53.202 --> 00:06:54.904
- so i know how you got connected to tbn.
00:06:54.904 --> 00:06:57.039
How did you get connected to tbn?
00:06:57.039 --> 00:06:58.574
- man, when i was saved, i had a small computer
00:06:58.574 --> 00:07:01.511
In the apartment and, and we had nothing to watch.
00:07:01.511 --> 00:07:04.714
You know, my wife, my wife and i were so poor at the time.
00:07:04.714 --> 00:07:08.084
I would turn on tv and on our computer
00:07:08.084 --> 00:07:10.319
And i would, i would watch praise,
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:12.622
I would watch shows and i would see preachers,
00:07:12.622 --> 00:07:14.790
Who i admired back in those days.
00:07:14.790 --> 00:07:16.425
Sitting, probably wasn't this studio, this is beautiful.
00:07:16.425 --> 00:07:19.128
But they sat in a studio somewhere in this building.
00:07:19.128 --> 00:07:21.664
- yeah. it wasn't this one.
00:07:21.664 --> 00:07:23.232
- it wasn't this one. and, and, you know, and tim's parents.
00:07:23.232 --> 00:07:25.234
- yeah.
00:07:25.234 --> 00:07:26.769
- i used to see them on tv, they're, they're legends.
00:07:26.769 --> 00:07:28.504
And i would just watch and i would sit there inspired,
00:07:28.504 --> 00:07:31.107
And think to myself one day, man, oh man,
00:07:31.107 --> 00:07:33.843
What would it be like to sit on that couch?
00:07:33.843 --> 00:07:35.645
You know? and, and for me it was just, it was just a dream.
00:07:35.645 --> 00:07:38.114
Never think i thought it would really come to pass.
00:07:38.114 --> 00:07:40.650
And so to just sit here, it is nostalgic for me.
00:07:40.650 --> 00:07:43.252
And i'm just deeply humbled to be in your presence today.
00:07:43.252 --> 00:07:46.088
- oh. - yeah.
00:07:46.088 --> 00:07:47.056
- how did y'all get together?
00:07:47.056 --> 00:07:49.225
- that's a great question.
00:07:49.225 --> 00:07:50.560
- tim was preaching at new church in miami.
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.862
- yeah miami.
00:07:52.862 --> 00:07:54.363
- i've always known tim, but he didn't know me. right?
00:07:54.363 --> 00:07:55.831
Because i actually went to school in north carolina.
00:07:55.831 --> 00:07:58.334
- yeah.
00:07:58.334 --> 00:07:59.936
- and tim's parents had one of the most influential churches
00:07:59.936 --> 00:08:00.903
In the state of north carolina.
00:08:00.903 --> 00:08:02.705
- and, and so i would hear his name in the streets,
00:08:02.705 --> 00:08:04.974
But he was far away from god.
00:08:04.974 --> 00:08:06.042
- yeah. i was far away from god.
00:08:06.042 --> 00:08:07.476
- but you was in the street. - yep. in the streets.
00:08:07.476 --> 00:08:08.878
- and i would, i would hear about the timberlakes
00:08:08.878 --> 00:08:10.546
And i would hear about tim timberlake,
00:08:10.546 --> 00:08:11.948
And his name was very influential in the street.
00:08:11.948 --> 00:08:14.317
But we hadn't met until after we were both in the kingdom.
00:08:14.317 --> 00:08:16.752
- yeah.
00:08:16.752 --> 00:08:17.887
- and you were preaching at vous church.
00:08:17.887 --> 00:08:18.588
- absolutely.
00:08:18.588 --> 00:08:19.689
- for our brother rich wilkerson.
00:08:19.689 --> 00:08:20.523
- yeah, that's right.
00:08:20.523 --> 00:08:21.757
- and then you was up there preaching,
00:08:21.757 --> 00:08:22.992
And i tried to go see you afterwards.
00:08:22.992 --> 00:08:24.126
They said, you can't come back here.
00:08:24.126 --> 00:08:24.827
(all laughing)
00:08:24.827 --> 00:08:26.162
- it was funny, he was trying to come see me,
00:08:26.162 --> 00:08:28.331
But before the service started.
00:08:28.331 --> 00:08:30.433
- we were all in this big huddle.
00:08:30.433 --> 00:08:31.601
- yeah.
00:08:31.601 --> 00:08:32.868
- and god gave me a prophetic word for him.
00:08:32.868 --> 00:08:34.804
And so after the service,
00:08:34.804 --> 00:08:36.072
I'm looking for him and he's looking for me,
00:08:36.072 --> 00:08:38.608
But they had to rush me off to go to another location.
00:08:38.608 --> 00:08:41.777
- yeah.
00:08:41.777 --> 00:08:42.612
And so i didn't see him,
00:08:42.612 --> 00:08:44.313
But what ended up happening was
00:08:44.313 --> 00:08:47.016
We found each other on social media,
00:08:47.016 --> 00:08:49.452
And then i dropped the prophetic word in his direct message.
00:08:49.452 --> 00:08:52.989
- oh my goodness.
00:08:52.989 --> 00:08:53.923
- what was the theme of it?
00:08:53.923 --> 00:08:55.024
Wat was god saying to you to tell?
00:08:55.024 --> 00:08:58.160
- i remember specifically.
00:08:58.160 --> 00:08:59.829
And so the word god gave me was
00:08:59.829 --> 00:09:02.531
Prepare your team and prepare yourself.
00:09:02.531 --> 00:09:06.202
Prepare your nets,
00:09:06.202 --> 00:09:07.470
Because god is gonna send so many fish
00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:09.672
That it breaks your net.
00:09:09.672 --> 00:09:10.940
- wow.
00:09:10.940 --> 00:09:12.575
- and that was in 2022.
00:09:13.075 --> 00:09:17.446
- wow. - my goodness.
00:09:17.446 --> 00:09:19.382
- in january, 2023,
00:09:19.382 --> 00:09:21.717
Changed the name.
00:09:21.717 --> 00:09:22.618
- yeah.
00:09:22.618 --> 00:09:23.886
And i remember when tim got that word,
00:09:23.886 --> 00:09:25.221
We were just coming outta covid.
00:09:25.221 --> 00:09:26.856
We had lost everything,
00:09:26.856 --> 00:09:28.290
Our building, our staff, everything.
00:09:28.290 --> 00:09:29.925
And we had just come outta covid.
00:09:29.925 --> 00:09:31.594
And i was preaching to a empty room with 183 disciples
00:09:31.594 --> 00:09:35.498
In that room that sat 700.
00:09:35.498 --> 00:09:37.867
And i would just get up
00:09:37.867 --> 00:09:39.368
And i would preach to that empty room with all of my heart,
00:09:39.368 --> 00:09:41.671
And i would drive home in tears the hallway way.
00:09:41.671 --> 00:09:43.806
But tim gave me that word, you know?
00:09:43.806 --> 00:09:45.975
And would never imagine that two and a half years later,
00:09:45.975 --> 00:09:48.711
Everything that tim spoke by the spirit has come to pass.
00:09:48.711 --> 00:09:51.814
- amen.
00:09:51.814 --> 00:09:52.748
- and more, you know, i look at,
00:09:52.748 --> 00:09:54.316
We've seen great men and women of god.
00:09:54.316 --> 00:09:56.519
- yeah.
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:57.620
- you know, we've been around it.
00:09:57.620 --> 00:10:00.389
And you know when someone has a unique and special touch
00:10:00.389 --> 00:10:04.927
From the holy spirit,
00:10:04.927 --> 00:10:06.729
Both phil and his wife lena,
00:10:06.729 --> 00:10:08.731
Just have a unique and special touch from the holy spirit
00:10:08.731 --> 00:10:12.401
That god just has his hand all over.
00:10:12.401 --> 00:10:16.038
And it's something to be said
00:10:16.038 --> 00:10:18.274
When your church grows faster than your capacity
00:10:18.274 --> 00:10:22.311
To host the people in a building.
00:10:23.045 --> 00:10:24.680
So they got kicked out of their school,
00:10:24.680 --> 00:10:26.749
And now they're in a new facility,
00:10:26.749 --> 00:10:29.185
And that facility is quickly growing too small.
00:10:29.185 --> 00:10:32.988
And whenever you can gather over 40,000 people for prayer,
00:10:32.988 --> 00:10:38.260
That is a grace and a favor,
00:10:38.861 --> 00:10:41.230
And an anointing
00:10:41.230 --> 00:10:42.965
That needs to be looked at and say,
00:10:42.965 --> 00:10:46.035
Okay, god, whatever you're doing in their life,
00:10:46.035 --> 00:10:51.273
Would you just allow us
00:10:51.774 --> 00:10:53.309
To be a part of that anointing, that gifting and that grace.
00:10:53.309 --> 00:10:58.047
- let me,
00:10:58.047 --> 00:10:59.315
I love the fact that i've got a couple of
00:10:59.315 --> 00:11:02.218
Street preachers sitting here, you know?
00:11:03.018 --> 00:11:05.988
You gotta gimme a little bit of you on the street.
00:11:05.988 --> 00:11:08.491
We got a little bit of him on the street.
00:11:08.491 --> 00:11:10.559
What was your problem?
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:11.527
You had a great mom and daddy.
00:11:11.527 --> 00:11:13.429
- great mom and dad,
00:11:13.429 --> 00:11:14.697
And you all know they hosted this show.
00:11:14.697 --> 00:11:17.500
And when my father got sick, i was 12 years old
00:11:17.500 --> 00:11:21.337
And just got angry with god.
00:11:21.337 --> 00:11:22.772
Completely lost faith in god's ability.
00:11:22.772 --> 00:11:25.875
My faith was not anchored in god,
00:11:25.875 --> 00:11:27.943
My faith was anchored in what he could do.
00:11:27.943 --> 00:11:29.812
- wow.
00:11:29.812 --> 00:11:31.313
- and so when he did not do what i expected him to do,
00:11:31.313 --> 00:11:33.649
My faith was rocked.
00:11:33.649 --> 00:11:35.251
And so i turned to the streets
00:11:35.251 --> 00:11:36.886
Lived a lifestyle that was completely contrary
00:11:36.886 --> 00:11:39.421
To what they had showed and what they had displayed.
00:11:39.421 --> 00:11:42.057
And as they're right here,
00:11:42.057 --> 00:11:43.225
Ministering to thousands of people,
00:11:43.225 --> 00:11:44.994
And they're hosting praise,
00:11:44.994 --> 00:11:46.428
And they're on the road traveling
00:11:46.428 --> 00:11:48.197
And carrying the gospel of jesus christ,
00:11:48.197 --> 00:11:50.800
I am becoming a professional sinner.
00:11:50.800 --> 00:11:52.902
I am a helly.
00:11:52.902 --> 00:11:53.836
And i am hell on wheels.
00:11:53.836 --> 00:11:55.704
And the thing that i loved about my parents is
00:11:55.704 --> 00:11:59.875
They loved me back into the kingdom of god jesus.
00:11:59.875 --> 00:12:02.645
- isn't that beautiful?
00:12:02.645 --> 00:12:03.746
- and no matter how far i strayed,
00:12:03.746 --> 00:12:06.115
It was like i could not run fast enough,
00:12:06.115 --> 00:12:08.551
I could not run far enough.
00:12:08.551 --> 00:12:10.386
I could not do anything that would cause them
00:12:10.386 --> 00:12:14.089
To stop being the reflection of jesus christ
00:12:14.089 --> 00:12:16.158
That loved me back into the kingdom of god.
00:12:16.158 --> 00:12:18.727
- that's beautiful.
00:12:18.727 --> 00:12:19.995
- and so, one of my greatest disappointments
00:12:19.995 --> 00:12:21.964
Is that my dad never saw it.
00:12:21.964 --> 00:12:23.999
My mom did, but my dad never saw it.
00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:27.436
- and so now- - he sees it now.
00:12:27.436 --> 00:12:29.738
- he he definitely does.
00:12:29.738 --> 00:12:30.973
And me and phil were talking about this
00:12:30.973 --> 00:12:33.876
On monday after access.
00:12:33.876 --> 00:12:35.945
I was there, i was in the room
00:12:35.945 --> 00:12:37.980
And i was in that room,
00:12:37.980 --> 00:12:39.315
That big old room, over 20,000 people.
00:12:39.315 --> 00:12:41.784
And i said, "phil, you're dead, man,
00:12:41.784 --> 00:12:47.056
Must be so proud."
00:12:47.489 --> 00:12:49.391
And i don't know where your theology lays on this,
00:12:49.391 --> 00:12:53.262
But i believe god gives him the opportunity
00:12:53.262 --> 00:12:56.699
Just to peek over,
00:12:56.699 --> 00:12:57.967
Just to glimpse, just to view, just to spectate.
00:12:58.901 --> 00:13:02.338
- absolutely. - look at my son.
00:13:02.338 --> 00:13:03.939
- yeah.
00:13:03.939 --> 00:13:05.307
- and the obedience, the sacrifice, the dedication.
00:13:05.307 --> 00:13:07.376
And i think about my dad
00:13:07.376 --> 00:13:09.345
And just what he must be thinking
00:13:09.345 --> 00:13:11.513
And your parents and what they must be thinking.
00:13:11.513 --> 00:13:14.617
And it's a humbling thought to think
00:13:14.617 --> 00:13:17.419
We're standing on their shoulders
00:13:17.419 --> 00:13:18.921
And walking in the footprints
00:13:18.921 --> 00:13:20.256
That they've carved out for us.
00:13:20.256 --> 00:13:21.423
- yeah. - beautiful.
00:13:21.423 --> 00:13:22.691
- and the pathway to get there was tough,
00:13:22.691 --> 00:13:24.793
But it was meaningful.
00:13:24.793 --> 00:13:26.128
- let me put a little pressure on you guys.
00:13:26.128 --> 00:13:28.697
- you're preachers, you're used to this.
00:13:29.565 --> 00:13:30.833
I like to kind of put a little pressure.
00:13:30.833 --> 00:13:32.501
Lori and i, this is a big old studio, right?
00:13:32.501 --> 00:13:35.371
So lori and i were way off back in the back here
00:13:35.371 --> 00:13:39.008
Not long ago when it was just steel studs, okay?
00:13:39.008 --> 00:13:43.979
So we were walking through this.
00:13:43.979 --> 00:13:47.383
And i had the thought that all those years ago,
00:13:47.383 --> 00:13:52.254
Let's call it tbn gen 1, okay?
00:13:52.254 --> 00:13:55.457
My mom and dad ordered a lot of steel, a lot of concrete,
00:13:55.457 --> 00:13:59.428
But they had to form it into a foundation and a tower
00:13:59.428 --> 00:14:02.998
Because they had to build the distribution system.
00:14:02.998 --> 00:14:06.568
So they were building, you know, first la, then phoenix,
00:14:07.703 --> 00:14:10.839
Then miami was station number three, then oklahoma,
00:14:10.839 --> 00:14:13.642
Then new york city.
00:14:13.642 --> 00:14:15.144
So we started buying a lot of tv stations
00:14:15.144 --> 00:14:19.114
And building them.
00:14:19.114 --> 00:14:20.649
So my mom and dad dealt with concrete and steel, okay?
00:14:20.649 --> 00:14:25.154
But mainly for distribution.
00:14:25.154 --> 00:14:27.856
Well, today, as we sit here, tbn is now,
00:14:27.856 --> 00:14:33.095
You know, basically stewarding over 65
00:14:33.929 --> 00:14:35.597
Full power tv stations,
00:14:35.597 --> 00:14:37.132
And with the internet that the world built,
00:14:37.132 --> 00:14:41.003
You're connected to virtually every large
00:14:41.003 --> 00:14:43.038
And small device on earth.
00:14:43.038 --> 00:14:44.673
So, we're not spending any money building anything
00:14:44.673 --> 00:14:48.143
For distribution anymore.
00:14:48.143 --> 00:14:49.979
You know what we have to do now,
00:14:49.979 --> 00:14:52.081
Lori and i ordered a bunch of steel and concrete,
00:14:52.081 --> 00:14:54.416
But we shaped it into this room.
00:14:54.416 --> 00:14:56.885
And now we got cameras and we got lights.
00:14:56.885 --> 00:15:00.422
A lot of lights in this room.
00:15:00.422 --> 00:15:01.757
A lot of cameras.
00:15:01.757 --> 00:15:02.591
You both look good.
00:15:02.591 --> 00:15:03.425
You sound good.
00:15:03.425 --> 00:15:05.060
We got mics on that working.
00:15:05.060 --> 00:15:06.729
So now we have to say to ourselves, we're not having
00:15:06.729 --> 00:15:10.866
To build the distribution system.
00:15:10.866 --> 00:15:13.102
Now it's all up to us. what are you gonna say?
00:15:13.102 --> 00:15:16.338
So all those years ago when you were watching "praise"
00:15:17.439 --> 00:15:20.776
Back in the, you know, early days of tbn, 2000s,
00:15:20.776 --> 00:15:26.081
And you were saying, man, what would it feel like
00:15:27.082 --> 00:15:28.917
To be sitting, you know, on that set?
00:15:28.917 --> 00:15:31.954
Okay, well now you're here.
00:15:31.954 --> 00:15:33.455
Now you're here.
00:15:33.455 --> 00:15:34.623
And now it's up to us to,
00:15:34.623 --> 00:15:36.158
Now what are we gonna say, okay?
00:15:36.158 --> 00:15:38.527
What are you gonna say?
00:15:38.527 --> 00:15:40.462
So we used to just kind of make it real simple.
00:15:40.462 --> 00:15:43.332
Lift up the name of jesus,
00:15:43.332 --> 00:15:44.833
And he draws men of himself.
00:15:44.833 --> 00:15:46.668
So why don't you, if you're a street preacher,
00:15:46.668 --> 00:15:49.471
Why don't you prove that a little bit
00:15:49.471 --> 00:15:50.906
And give us a little something-something,
00:15:50.906 --> 00:15:53.475
Tag team off each other.
00:15:53.475 --> 00:15:55.177
What do we need to hear?
00:15:55.177 --> 00:15:56.412
What message does our audience need
00:15:56.412 --> 00:15:58.747
To hear right here, right now?
00:15:58.747 --> 00:16:01.283
You have their full attention.
00:16:01.283 --> 00:16:03.252
- i think.
00:16:03.252 --> 00:16:04.520
I think one of the most important things
00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:05.788
That the generation needs to hear right now,
00:16:05.788 --> 00:16:07.689
Right, is that all of us are dealing
00:16:07.689 --> 00:16:09.391
With the same human suffering,
00:16:09.391 --> 00:16:11.427
And we all have the same sickness,
00:16:11.427 --> 00:16:12.795
Which is our sinful nature.
00:16:12.795 --> 00:16:14.797
And as a result of that, we see the brokenness
00:16:14.797 --> 00:16:16.799
And depravity of human beings from people being killed
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:20.035
On national television and all the things we see right now.
00:16:20.035 --> 00:16:24.506
And i think one of the things that we all need to hear
00:16:24.506 --> 00:16:26.742
Is that politics is not gonna fix
00:16:26.742 --> 00:16:29.211
The brokenness of humanity.
00:16:29.211 --> 00:16:31.346
You know, presidents are not gonna fix
00:16:31.346 --> 00:16:33.148
The brokenness of humanity.
00:16:33.148 --> 00:16:34.917
Policies are not gonna fix the brokenness of humanity.
00:16:34.917 --> 00:16:37.953
There is one thing that we all need,
00:16:37.953 --> 00:16:40.122
No matter what continent we are
00:16:40.122 --> 00:16:41.657
And what we look like, what our skin color is,
00:16:41.657 --> 00:16:43.392
That's gonna fix the brokenness of humanity.
00:16:43.392 --> 00:16:45.227
And that is a deep, intimate, personal relationship
00:16:45.227 --> 00:16:48.263
With the lord jesus christ.
00:16:48.263 --> 00:16:50.065
He is the answer to all of humanity's problems.
00:16:50.065 --> 00:16:53.235
And i think one of the things that we need to recognize
00:16:53.235 --> 00:16:55.337
Is that there is something in man that's trying
00:16:55.337 --> 00:16:57.172
To create utopia here.
00:16:57.172 --> 00:16:58.974
And they're falling short.
00:16:58.974 --> 00:17:00.509
They're trying to build castles here that are made of sand.
00:17:00.509 --> 00:17:03.545
They're gonna wash away on the seashore of time.
00:17:03.545 --> 00:17:05.981
And that the ultimate answer to all
00:17:05.981 --> 00:17:08.450
Of our suffering right now, it is maranatha.
00:17:08.450 --> 00:17:10.986
It is an intimate relationship with christ.
00:17:10.986 --> 00:17:12.821
Now, it has come quickly, lord jesus.
00:17:12.821 --> 00:17:15.457
He is the one that's gonna fix all of this mess we are in.
00:17:15.457 --> 00:17:19.695
And i think every human being on the planet needs to hear
00:17:19.695 --> 00:17:22.397
That he is the answer.
00:17:22.397 --> 00:17:24.266
He is the fix.
00:17:24.266 --> 00:17:25.534
He is the central piece we need right now
00:17:25.534 --> 00:17:27.202
For all of our brokenness.
00:17:27.202 --> 00:17:28.604
If there's anything i would leave with our audience,
00:17:28.604 --> 00:17:30.606
It would be that.
00:17:30.606 --> 00:17:31.940
And that i would encourage the generation
00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:33.609
That i lead, mostly millennials
00:17:33.609 --> 00:17:35.244
And gen zs, who are radically individualistic and ambitious.
00:17:35.244 --> 00:17:40.382
There is nothing they're gonna pursue,
00:17:41.183 --> 00:17:43.585
No mountain they're gonna climb,
00:17:43.585 --> 00:17:44.720
Nothing, they're gonna get to the top
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:46.088
And still gonna be empty
00:17:46.088 --> 00:17:47.923
And realize that the thing that we need more than anything
00:17:47.923 --> 00:17:50.058
Right now is christ, right?
00:17:50.058 --> 00:17:52.361
And if we don't get that message to the world,
00:17:52.361 --> 00:17:54.496
I don't know what message we're gonna bring to them.
00:17:54.496 --> 00:17:56.832
- jim?
00:17:56.832 --> 00:17:57.933
- the decisions to follow christ,
00:17:57.933 --> 00:18:00.702
As phil was saying.
00:18:00.702 --> 00:18:02.204
One of the things that i've really learned
00:18:02.204 --> 00:18:05.841
Over the course of leadership
00:18:05.841 --> 00:18:09.144
And just the hardship that i've endured
00:18:09.144 --> 00:18:11.880
And encountered is that when we're born,
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.150
We're born looking like our parents,
00:18:15.150 --> 00:18:16.919
But we die looking like our decisions.
00:18:16.919 --> 00:18:19.555
And when we decide the wrong things,
00:18:19.555 --> 00:18:22.424
Our lives are a reflection of those decisions.
00:18:22.424 --> 00:18:24.893
When we decide the right things,
00:18:24.893 --> 00:18:27.329
Our life is a reflection of those.
00:18:27.329 --> 00:18:29.264
- decisions, and it doesn't mean that there will be
00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:31.800
An easy road or an easy path, but it does mean
00:18:31.800 --> 00:18:35.204
That on these roads that god has us on,
00:18:35.204 --> 00:18:37.940
When we encounter difficulty and challenges
00:18:37.940 --> 00:18:40.342
And hurdles and bumps, he's with us along the way,
00:18:40.342 --> 00:18:44.112
And so we don't have to walk it out,
00:18:44.112 --> 00:18:45.414
And so i think we see a society and a culture
00:18:45.414 --> 00:18:49.751
That's grasping for things. - yes.
00:18:49.751 --> 00:18:52.087
- outside of jesus. - yes.
00:18:52.087 --> 00:18:53.822
- that's grasping for popularity, grasping
00:18:53.822 --> 00:18:56.458
For influence,
00:18:56.458 --> 00:18:57.526
Grasping for affirmation, grasping for provision,
00:18:57.526 --> 00:19:01.029
And all of these things separate from jesus
00:19:01.029 --> 00:19:03.899
As a prophecy to us that it won't be in our future,
00:19:03.899 --> 00:19:06.935
And so when we make jesus the priority,
00:19:06.935 --> 00:19:10.439
When we make him the central focus,
00:19:10.439 --> 00:19:12.140
It allows us to anchor our hope in him.
00:19:12.140 --> 00:19:15.844
Not in just what he can do but in him.
00:19:15.844 --> 00:19:17.813
Not in what's in his hand but in him,
00:19:17.813 --> 00:19:20.449
And when we do that, we see, and we understand,
00:19:20.449 --> 00:19:24.119
And we discover a life and a relationship
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:27.456
That goes well beyond one that we could
00:19:27.456 --> 00:19:29.358
Ever provide for ourself and so.
00:19:29.358 --> 00:19:30.993
- pastor phil, earlier, you were saying
00:19:30.993 --> 00:19:33.028
Your mom and dad were good people.
00:19:33.028 --> 00:19:36.298
- you saw them. - yup.
00:19:36.298 --> 00:19:37.466
- kind of doing the right thing.
00:19:37.466 --> 00:19:39.401
What caused you to go to the streets
00:19:40.202 --> 00:19:44.139
If your mom and daddy were kinda
00:19:44.773 --> 00:19:47.876
Doing some of the normal stuff and good stuff?
00:19:47.876 --> 00:19:50.946
- yeah, i wanna honor my parents,
00:19:50.946 --> 00:19:52.981
One in heaven and one on earth.
00:19:52.981 --> 00:19:54.950
They were godly men and women.
00:19:54.950 --> 00:19:56.885
My mother's still here.
00:19:56.885 --> 00:19:58.487
Read the scriptures.
00:19:58.487 --> 00:19:59.521
They led a ministry.
00:19:59.521 --> 00:20:00.555
I heard them pray.
00:20:00.555 --> 00:20:02.124
I think, for me, i was just searching
00:20:02.124 --> 00:20:04.059
For a sense of community and belonging,
00:20:04.059 --> 00:20:06.662
And i found that in the street, amongst men in the street,
00:20:06.662 --> 00:20:10.032
And that environment i grew up in,
00:20:10.032 --> 00:20:12.200
In that urban environment,
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:13.402
Queens had a stronghold on my life,
00:20:13.402 --> 00:20:15.837
And so that's what it was for me.
00:20:15.837 --> 00:20:17.172
I was just searching for acceptance,
00:20:17.172 --> 00:20:18.707
And i found that in the street,
00:20:18.707 --> 00:20:20.575
But i still had honor and reverence from my parents.
00:20:20.575 --> 00:20:22.644
I would never bring any of that into my home,
00:20:22.644 --> 00:20:24.813
And so when i came into my home,
00:20:24.813 --> 00:20:26.181
That all stayed at the threshold of the door.
00:20:26.181 --> 00:20:27.749
In fact, they had no idea of the life i was living
00:20:27.749 --> 00:20:30.619
Until i was in my 20s and i had a chance to sit down
00:20:30.619 --> 00:20:32.821
With my mom and my dad. - yeah.
00:20:32.821 --> 00:20:34.356
- and tell them this is the way that i lived,
00:20:34.356 --> 00:20:36.425
And my mother wept, you know?
00:20:36.425 --> 00:20:38.193
And she wept, and she never knew the things i was doing,
00:20:38.193 --> 00:20:40.929
But my parents were great,
00:20:40.929 --> 00:20:42.531
But it was just a searching for belonging,
00:20:42.531 --> 00:20:44.666
And i just found that in the street.
00:20:44.666 --> 00:20:46.635
- are we seeing a change in that?
00:20:46.635 --> 00:20:48.970
- i think so.
00:20:48.970 --> 00:20:50.238
I think people are homogenous by nature.
00:20:50.238 --> 00:20:54.943
They want to be a part of groups that make them feel
00:20:54.943 --> 00:20:57.212
A sense of community and familiarity,
00:20:57.212 --> 00:20:59.214
And so i think there was a longing,
00:20:59.214 --> 00:21:01.717
And i think even right now,
00:21:01.717 --> 00:21:03.485
There is a generation seeking for that,
00:21:03.485 --> 00:21:05.387
And i think they're finding that
00:21:05.387 --> 00:21:06.888
Amongst other believers in christ.
00:21:06.888 --> 00:21:09.791
I think there is a...
00:21:09.791 --> 00:21:11.026
That's how social media has exploded.
00:21:11.026 --> 00:21:13.128
Even though at the same time, it has made us less social.
00:21:13.128 --> 00:21:15.497
- uh-hmm. - you know?
00:21:15.497 --> 00:21:16.498
It's like we know how to post,
00:21:16.498 --> 00:21:17.499
But we can't pick up the phone
00:21:17.499 --> 00:21:18.700
And make a phone call. - that's right.
00:21:18.700 --> 00:21:19.468
- yeah. - right?
00:21:19.468 --> 00:21:20.836
But i just think there was an emptiness there
00:21:20.836 --> 00:21:22.137
I was searching for and just for community,
00:21:22.137 --> 00:21:24.673
And i just found that brothers in the street.
00:21:24.673 --> 00:21:27.242
- uh-hmm. - yeah.
00:21:27.242 --> 00:21:28.710
- okay, over your shoulder, i'm looking at this
00:21:28.710 --> 00:21:31.012
Big sign that says street preachers.
00:21:31.012 --> 00:21:33.148
- yeah. - so you guys.
00:21:33.148 --> 00:21:34.783
- [pastor phil] yeah.
00:21:34.783 --> 00:21:36.151
- you've got a bible sitting there next to you.
00:21:36.151 --> 00:21:37.886
- yeah.
00:21:37.886 --> 00:21:39.187
- why don't you crack it open
00:21:39.187 --> 00:21:40.622
And give us a little something that maybe you're gonna
00:21:40.622 --> 00:21:44.259
Use next sunday or last sunday or, you know,
00:21:44.259 --> 00:21:47.262
Just preach. (guests laugh)
00:21:47.262 --> 00:21:48.497
Give me a little something, something here.
00:21:48.497 --> 00:21:50.265
(people laugh)
00:21:50.265 --> 00:21:53.135
- well, they don't know what street preachers is.
00:21:53.135 --> 00:21:54.669
You should tell (indistinct). - yeah, tell us that.
00:21:54.669 --> 00:21:56.304
- yeah, so street preachers is a cry in the wilderness
00:21:56.304 --> 00:22:01.576
From two brothers that
00:22:02.077 --> 00:22:04.846
Desire to see
00:22:04.846 --> 00:22:06.915
God's people wake up
00:22:07.382 --> 00:22:09.284
And recognize that the kingdom of god is at hand,
00:22:09.284 --> 00:22:12.454
And like ezekiel, in the old testament,
00:22:12.454 --> 00:22:15.323
Asking people, demanding people, urging people
00:22:15.323 --> 00:22:18.527
To return back to the heart of the father,
00:22:18.527 --> 00:22:20.729
And in the new testament, john the baptist,
00:22:20.729 --> 00:22:23.131
In the streets screaming,
00:22:23.131 --> 00:22:24.433
"repent for the kingdom of god is at hand."
00:22:24.433 --> 00:22:26.601
That that's our desire that god would use us
00:22:26.601 --> 00:22:29.504
In a format and in a way that would draw
00:22:29.504 --> 00:22:32.541
People back to his heart, that would really wake people up
00:22:32.541 --> 00:22:37.112
And bring them back to loving the father
00:22:37.112 --> 00:22:40.482
And falling back in love
00:22:40.482 --> 00:22:43.018
With their first love, jesus christ,
00:22:43.018 --> 00:22:45.387
And so that's what we aspire to do,
00:22:45.387 --> 00:22:47.122
You know, two imperfect guys.
00:22:47.122 --> 00:22:49.724
- so you guys are doing a podcast.
00:22:49.724 --> 00:22:51.259
- just a podcast. - street preachers podcast.
00:22:51.259 --> 00:22:52.494
- right now, we're on tour.
00:22:52.494 --> 00:22:54.362
- yeah. - and...
00:22:54.362 --> 00:22:55.664
- you're getting ready to have church in here.
00:22:55.664 --> 00:22:56.832
- that's right. - in the next studio.
00:22:56.832 --> 00:22:58.133
- we need to have church in here, that's right.
00:22:58.133 --> 00:22:59.234
- i love it. - and just taking
00:22:59.234 --> 00:23:00.402
What god has placed on our heart.
00:23:00.402 --> 00:23:01.603
- yeah. - to cities
00:23:01.603 --> 00:23:03.805
Here in the states first, and then we'll see
00:23:03.805 --> 00:23:05.740
Kind of where god takes it next.
00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:06.875
- beautiful. - yeah, so there's a...
00:23:06.875 --> 00:23:08.977
There's another pastor phil.
00:23:08.977 --> 00:23:10.679
There's another pastor phil to be.
00:23:10.679 --> 00:23:14.483
- yeah. - flipping on the channel,
00:23:15.217 --> 00:23:16.685
Looking at you. - yeah.
00:23:16.685 --> 00:23:18.086
- saying, "what would it be like to be there?"
00:23:18.086 --> 00:23:20.322
- mm. - wow.
00:23:20.322 --> 00:23:21.156
- see, so there's...
00:23:21.156 --> 00:23:22.123
And they're watching, you know,
00:23:22.123 --> 00:23:23.658
Anywhere in the world. - yeah.
00:23:23.658 --> 00:23:24.659
- anywhere there's electricity,
00:23:24.659 --> 00:23:25.961
They're watching. - yeah, yeah.
00:23:25.961 --> 00:23:28.263
- so hit us with something, don't-
00:23:28.263 --> 00:23:31.533
- don't get on the couch and don't preach to us.
00:23:31.533 --> 00:23:33.835
So you gotta, you can't leave here-
00:23:33.835 --> 00:23:36.004
- that's right.
00:23:36.004 --> 00:23:37.172
- until you hit us with a little somethin' somethin'.
00:23:37.172 --> 00:23:38.673
Okay? - you're not going anywhere.
00:23:38.673 --> 00:23:40.041
I'm gonna, i'm gonna hold you down.
00:23:40.041 --> 00:23:41.943
- yeah. - okay.
00:23:41.943 --> 00:23:42.777
So you got your bible.
00:23:42.777 --> 00:23:44.179
- yeah. - do your thing.
00:23:44.179 --> 00:23:45.413
- i'll say two things.
00:23:45.413 --> 00:23:46.648
I'll say to the, to the,
00:23:46.648 --> 00:23:48.116
The young man or the young sister watching right now,
00:23:48.116 --> 00:23:51.052
Who's been watching tbn,
00:23:51.052 --> 00:23:52.521
And dreaming about what it would be like
00:23:52.521 --> 00:23:54.856
To sit on this couch.
00:23:54.856 --> 00:23:56.491
I would say to them,
00:23:56.491 --> 00:23:57.692
"don't seek platforms. seek altars."
00:23:57.692 --> 00:23:59.361
- [matt] mm. - mm.
00:23:59.361 --> 00:24:00.595
- you know. "develop a deep, intimate,
00:24:00.595 --> 00:24:01.997
Personal relationship with the lord jesus christ.
00:24:01.997 --> 00:24:03.999
And just be obedient."
00:24:03.999 --> 00:24:05.400
- [laurie] yeah. - and be faithful. right?
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:07.369
That the goal is not to sit on the couch.
00:24:07.369 --> 00:24:09.204
The goal is to just be faithful.
00:24:09.204 --> 00:24:10.705
- [matt] hmm. - and that faithfulness
00:24:10.705 --> 00:24:11.940
Leads you to the couch,
00:24:11.940 --> 00:24:13.241
And that is through the glory of christ.
00:24:13.241 --> 00:24:14.409
- yeah, amen.
00:24:14.409 --> 00:24:15.544
- and i will say to the generation
00:24:15.544 --> 00:24:16.778
That i think what we need right now,
00:24:16.778 --> 00:24:18.113
More than anything, is the message of jude.
00:24:18.113 --> 00:24:20.015
Right? - yeah.
00:24:20.015 --> 00:24:21.283
- i think we need the message of jude.
00:24:21.283 --> 00:24:22.951
A very neglected,
00:24:22.951 --> 00:24:24.185
But yet important letter tucked away
00:24:24.185 --> 00:24:25.787
In the back of the scriptures, - mm-hmm.
00:24:25.787 --> 00:24:27.222
- that i think is critical for our times.
00:24:27.222 --> 00:24:29.424
Right now as we're talking right here
00:24:29.424 --> 00:24:31.459
On this tbn couch,
00:24:31.459 --> 00:24:33.061
I feel like there is warfare against christianity
00:24:33.061 --> 00:24:35.730
And against the brothers and sisters all around the world.
00:24:35.730 --> 00:24:38.400
Our brothers and sisters are being put to death
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:40.302
And persecuted all around the world.
00:24:40.302 --> 00:24:42.437
And there is a fight right now
00:24:42.437 --> 00:24:43.605
For the voice of the faithful.
00:24:43.605 --> 00:24:45.307
And i would say more than ever,
00:24:45.307 --> 00:24:46.608
What we need right now is the message of jude,
00:24:46.608 --> 00:24:49.010
The trumpet of jude,
00:24:49.010 --> 00:24:50.478
That says to the people, beloved,
00:24:50.478 --> 00:24:52.180
Although i was very eager to write
00:24:52.180 --> 00:24:53.715
To you about our common salvation,
00:24:53.715 --> 00:24:55.917
I found it necessary to write to you appealing,
00:24:55.917 --> 00:24:59.154
That we should contend for the faith
00:24:59.154 --> 00:25:00.655
That was once and for all delivered to us.
00:25:00.655 --> 00:25:02.958
Your parents handed you the faith,
00:25:02.958 --> 00:25:05.327
Your parents handed you the faith.
00:25:05.327 --> 00:25:06.528
Our baton came down to us in blood.
00:25:06.528 --> 00:25:09.230
And i wanna say to the generation watching right now,
00:25:09.230 --> 00:25:11.266
If we don't take a stand for christianity now,
00:25:11.266 --> 00:25:14.269
What baton are we gonna hand off-
00:25:14.269 --> 00:25:15.870
- [tim] that's right. - to the generation
00:25:15.870 --> 00:25:16.972
Coming behind us.
00:25:16.972 --> 00:25:17.939
I think there needs to be a call
00:25:17.939 --> 00:25:19.708
To the entire body of christ more than ever before.
00:25:19.708 --> 00:25:22.510
We need to take a stand for the faith,
00:25:22.510 --> 00:25:24.813
Both in culture and in our own hearts,
00:25:24.813 --> 00:25:27.582
To stand for the lord jesus christ,
00:25:27.582 --> 00:25:29.150
For the values of the kingdom,
00:25:29.150 --> 00:25:30.485
The virtues of the kingdom,
00:25:30.485 --> 00:25:31.987
And for the king of the kingdom.
00:25:31.987 --> 00:25:34.022
And i feel like if we don't do that now,
00:25:34.022 --> 00:25:36.291
And if we don't gear up for that now,
00:25:36.291 --> 00:25:38.193
I'm afraid what we're gonna hand off
00:25:38.193 --> 00:25:39.861
To my sons and daughters
00:25:39.861 --> 00:25:41.630
In the generation that's coming up behind me.
00:25:41.630 --> 00:25:43.632
That's my message to this generation.
00:25:43.632 --> 00:25:45.300
Contend for the faith that was
00:25:45.300 --> 00:25:48.837
Once for handed down to us.
00:25:48.837 --> 00:25:50.772
- your turn.
00:25:50.772 --> 00:25:52.073
- and do it boldly.
00:25:52.073 --> 00:25:53.842
I was in england not too long ago,
00:25:53.842 --> 00:25:56.378
And our driver was a muslim.
00:25:56.378 --> 00:25:59.781
And he was boldly professing his faith to us.
00:25:59.781 --> 00:26:02.917
And i asked him a question.
00:26:02.917 --> 00:26:04.452
He said, "oh, you're a christian.
00:26:04.452 --> 00:26:06.087
I said, "yes."
00:26:06.087 --> 00:26:07.055
He said, "well, can i ask you
00:26:07.055 --> 00:26:08.390
Some questions about your jesus?"
00:26:08.390 --> 00:26:11.092
And i said, "sure."
00:26:11.092 --> 00:26:12.627
And it was an hour long drive.
00:26:12.627 --> 00:26:14.295
And we were driving, and he was riding,
00:26:14.295 --> 00:26:17.065
And he was asking me and my wife these questions,
00:26:17.065 --> 00:26:19.668
And i could see his wheels spinning.
00:26:19.668 --> 00:26:21.903
And i was asking him questions.
00:26:21.903 --> 00:26:23.405
- so powerful.
00:26:23.405 --> 00:26:24.673
- and his wheels began to spin,
00:26:24.673 --> 00:26:26.174
And the questions begin to slow down.
00:26:26.174 --> 00:26:28.510
And he asked me, "continue to speak on this."
00:26:28.510 --> 00:26:30.578
"can you clarify?"
00:26:30.578 --> 00:26:31.813
"can you, can you help me with this?"
00:26:31.813 --> 00:26:33.348
And i didn't beat him over the head with the hammer,
00:26:33.348 --> 00:26:36.551
But i spoke boldly.
00:26:36.551 --> 00:26:37.686
- [laurie] yeah. - and i spoke to him
00:26:37.686 --> 00:26:39.187
What the spirit of god had placed on my heart.
00:26:39.187 --> 00:26:41.956
And if we're not careful,
00:26:41.956 --> 00:26:44.025
We'll allow people to try to influence us
00:26:44.025 --> 00:26:46.728
From their perspective,
00:26:46.728 --> 00:26:48.129
Because we don't stand in boldness.
00:26:48.129 --> 00:26:49.798
- [tim] come on. - and i think that
00:26:49.798 --> 00:26:51.032
This is the hour.
00:26:51.032 --> 00:26:52.067
I think that we're in a season,
00:26:52.067 --> 00:26:53.468
We're in a time now where
00:26:53.468 --> 00:26:55.704
The canvas is clear for us to speak boldly.
00:26:55.704 --> 00:27:01.042
No more timidity, no more holding back,
00:27:01.876 --> 00:27:03.211
No more being reserved believers.
00:27:03.211 --> 00:27:06.181
Scripture says, "come boldly to the throne of grace."
00:27:06.181 --> 00:27:08.850
And so if we can go boldly to the throne of grace,
00:27:08.850 --> 00:27:11.352
We need to boldly proclaim the gospel of jesus christ
00:27:11.352 --> 00:27:14.522
Because of who he is,
00:27:14.522 --> 00:27:16.458
And because of who he is transitioning us into becoming.
00:27:16.458 --> 00:27:20.195
And so as we contend for that faith,
00:27:20.195 --> 00:27:22.530
There's a couple of things
00:27:22.530 --> 00:27:23.465
That we talk about all the time
00:27:23.465 --> 00:27:24.966
As it pertains to contending.
00:27:24.966 --> 00:27:26.835
There's a contending physically,
00:27:26.835 --> 00:27:28.937
And then there's a contending spiritually.
00:27:28.937 --> 00:27:31.072
I think we have to do both.
00:27:31.072 --> 00:27:32.373
And i think we have to be ready,
00:27:32.373 --> 00:27:34.476
And we have to be armed and prepared
00:27:34.476 --> 00:27:36.978
With the gospel of jesus christ,
00:27:36.978 --> 00:27:39.314
To have conversations that may be difficult,
00:27:39.314 --> 00:27:42.150
That may be tough,
00:27:42.150 --> 00:27:43.752
But are just oozing with the love of jesus christ.
00:27:43.752 --> 00:27:46.421
- yeah. - to show the world
00:27:46.421 --> 00:27:47.989
The reflection of grace,
00:27:47.989 --> 00:27:49.858
And the glory of god.
00:27:49.858 --> 00:27:51.226
- and matt, if i could add one more thing
00:27:51.226 --> 00:27:52.594
I think is very important.
00:27:52.594 --> 00:27:53.695
Like, we're in a beautiful studio,
00:27:53.695 --> 00:27:55.330
And all around us i see clocks.
00:27:55.330 --> 00:27:57.098
- [matt] mm-hmm. - and on my watch on my wrist
00:27:57.098 --> 00:27:59.234
I got a watch.
00:27:59.234 --> 00:28:00.802
And there's clocks on us right now counting down backwards.
00:28:00.802 --> 00:28:03.238
- [matt] mm-hmm. - they're gonna hit zero,
00:28:03.238 --> 00:28:04.739
And our time on the set is gonna be over.
00:28:04.739 --> 00:28:07.375
And i wanna remind the world right now,
00:28:07.375 --> 00:28:09.043
God has set a clock for humanity.
00:28:09.043 --> 00:28:09.878
- that's right. come on.
00:28:09.878 --> 00:28:11.646
- and it's counting down backwards.
00:28:11.646 --> 00:28:13.715
And it's gonna hit zero.
00:28:13.715 --> 00:28:15.383
And when it hits zero,
00:28:15.383 --> 00:28:16.518
Everybody's fate is gonna be sealed.
00:28:16.518 --> 00:28:18.386
And i just wanna make mention of that
00:28:18.386 --> 00:28:19.788
Because i think people need to realize
00:28:19.788 --> 00:28:21.256
That time is running out.
00:28:21.256 --> 00:28:22.824
- right? and we have less time today
00:28:22.824 --> 00:28:24.359
Before the return of christ than we did yesterday
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:26.795
Or the day before last year.
00:28:26.795 --> 00:28:28.630
- and with tim and i, and we wanna do everything we can
00:28:28.630 --> 00:28:31.432
To awaken the saint and to call the sinner to the cross
00:28:31.432 --> 00:28:35.103
Before time has run out.
00:28:35.103 --> 00:28:36.704
- what would have made a difference,
00:28:37.505 --> 00:28:41.075
Pastor phil, in your life?
00:28:41.075 --> 00:28:43.578
What would've made a difference?
00:28:44.212 --> 00:28:46.314
What word from a street preacher,
00:28:46.314 --> 00:28:50.785
When you were in the streets,
00:28:50.785 --> 00:28:53.221
What would've gotten your attention?
00:28:53.221 --> 00:28:54.656
What do you think you were missing?
00:28:54.656 --> 00:28:57.458
You mentioned community as the reason
00:28:57.458 --> 00:28:59.661
That you were out there.
00:28:59.661 --> 00:29:01.262
You really wanted a crew or a team or a group, a community.
00:29:01.262 --> 00:29:06.034
What was missing from your life?
00:29:06.668 --> 00:29:10.572
What did you need to hear at that time?
00:29:10.572 --> 00:29:12.373
What message to the street philip-
00:29:12.373 --> 00:29:17.178
- yeah.
00:29:17.178 --> 00:29:18.513
- do you think you were missing?
00:29:18.513 --> 00:29:20.448
- i remember when i was a teenager,
00:29:20.448 --> 00:29:23.685
Teachers in high school and security guard saying
00:29:24.686 --> 00:29:26.588
I will never amount to nothing
00:29:26.588 --> 00:29:28.623
And i never had hope beyond my nose,
00:29:28.623 --> 00:29:31.726
I never had hope beyond the day,
00:29:31.726 --> 00:29:32.961
I only lived for the day i was in.
00:29:32.961 --> 00:29:34.896
For me, hope was just can i make it to the next day?
00:29:34.896 --> 00:29:37.298
- wow. - i think if someone
00:29:37.298 --> 00:29:39.033
In that time would've had enough love
00:29:39.033 --> 00:29:41.336
To cast a vision for me of a better future,
00:29:42.237 --> 00:29:44.973
Would've given me hope beyond this life,
00:29:45.840 --> 00:29:48.610
And would've told me that there was a god in heaven
00:29:48.610 --> 00:29:50.945
Who fashioned me in his image
00:29:50.945 --> 00:29:52.814
And created me for a purpose beyond the street,
00:29:52.814 --> 00:29:55.917
And would've communicated to me the gospel
00:29:55.917 --> 00:29:57.852
In a way that i could understand,
00:29:57.852 --> 00:29:59.621
And would've explained to me
00:29:59.621 --> 00:30:00.755
About what would happen in eternal life,
00:30:00.755 --> 00:30:02.023
Both for the believer and unbeliever,
00:30:02.023 --> 00:30:04.092
That might've got my attention,
00:30:04.092 --> 00:30:05.860
But nobody ever took the time to explain the gospel to me
00:30:05.860 --> 00:30:09.163
Or to cast a vision for me beyond the day i was in,
00:30:09.163 --> 00:30:12.300
And if someone would've done that,
00:30:12.300 --> 00:30:13.534
I think probably i would've listened.
00:30:13.534 --> 00:30:15.637
- tim, what would've gotten your attention
00:30:16.537 --> 00:30:19.307
In the times where you were hurting?
00:30:19.307 --> 00:30:21.309
Your dad was sick.
00:30:21.309 --> 00:30:23.244
You saw god as only someone that if he's real,
00:30:23.244 --> 00:30:27.916
He's gonna heal my dad. - yeah.
00:30:27.916 --> 00:30:29.584
- what did you need to hear at that time?
00:30:29.584 --> 00:30:32.487
- hear, i think, is a difficult one for me to answer.
00:30:33.554 --> 00:30:38.660
I just needed to obey.
00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:41.296
I knew what was the right thing to do.
00:30:42.130 --> 00:30:45.633
- you knew right from wrong. - yeah.
00:30:45.633 --> 00:30:46.935
- but i was just so rebellious.
00:30:46.935 --> 00:30:49.337
I had my mind made up.
00:30:49.337 --> 00:30:51.306
Whatever is the right thing to do,
00:30:51.306 --> 00:30:54.409
I am going to go the opposite direction because i'm hurting,
00:30:54.409 --> 00:30:59.747
And so the thing that brought me back was the love.
00:31:00.815 --> 00:31:03.551
- love. - and the modeling
00:31:03.551 --> 00:31:06.421
Of that love that jesus has, even yet in sin,
00:31:06.421 --> 00:31:11.759
And so i wish that i was obedient
00:31:12.493 --> 00:31:15.129
A little sooner than i was.
00:31:15.129 --> 00:31:16.564
I wish that i turned and repented
00:31:16.564 --> 00:31:19.167
And pursued my relationship with jesus christ
00:31:19.167 --> 00:31:22.103
So that i didn't cause so much hurt and pain to my parents.
00:31:22.103 --> 00:31:27.408
I wish that i started to love jesus for myself
00:31:28.343 --> 00:31:32.814
And not love him for what he could do
00:31:33.581 --> 00:31:35.616
Or what i saw him do through my parents.
00:31:35.616 --> 00:31:37.418
I wish i had did that earlier,
00:31:37.418 --> 00:31:39.454
And so for me it was just obedience
00:31:39.454 --> 00:31:41.389
And making that decision to follow jesus christ earlier.
00:31:41.389 --> 00:31:45.593
- that's good, bro. - yeah.
00:31:45.593 --> 00:31:47.395
- philip anthony mitchell,
00:31:47.395 --> 00:31:49.364
We used to refer to my dad as pfc.
00:31:50.098 --> 00:31:52.767
You'd be pam.
00:31:52.767 --> 00:31:54.235
- yeah, they call me that. - do they, pam?
00:31:54.235 --> 00:31:56.471
I like that. - yeah.
00:31:56.471 --> 00:31:58.806
- by the way, if i ever am gonna do a movie
00:31:58.806 --> 00:32:02.210
And need somebody to stand in for shaquille o'neal,
00:32:02.210 --> 00:32:05.279
I think you can do pretty good shaquille o'neal, you know?
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:08.649
There's some- - mini shaquille o'neal.
00:32:08.649 --> 00:32:10.752
- mini shaquille, yeah.
00:32:10.752 --> 00:32:12.020
- there's some- - not tall enough.
00:32:12.020 --> 00:32:13.521
(all laughing)
00:32:13.521 --> 00:32:16.224
- so there's some characteristics of
00:32:16.224 --> 00:32:18.292
The way you talk,
00:32:18.292 --> 00:32:19.227
Some of your mannerisms,
00:32:19.227 --> 00:32:20.495
Sometimes you remind me of shaquille o'neal,
00:32:20.495 --> 00:32:22.230
That's kind of fun.
00:32:22.230 --> 00:32:24.165
I want you to do something, if you would,
00:32:24.966 --> 00:32:27.935
What you just said about nobody ever took the time.
00:32:27.935 --> 00:32:31.172
- yeah. - nobody ever looked at me
00:32:31.172 --> 00:32:34.075
And said, "hey, you can make it.
00:32:34.075 --> 00:32:36.377
There's something better for you."
00:32:36.377 --> 00:32:38.346
You know, for 50 something years,
00:32:39.013 --> 00:32:41.549
That's all this program has ever tried to do,
00:32:41.549 --> 00:32:43.985
Is try to find people.
00:32:43.985 --> 00:32:46.254
We had a young man sitting in the chair
00:32:46.254 --> 00:32:49.424
You're sitting in just last week
00:32:49.424 --> 00:32:52.093
Who had a nine millimeter gun to his head.
00:32:52.093 --> 00:32:54.328
- i've been there.
00:32:54.328 --> 00:32:55.696
- and had rented an airbnb to go shoot himself in.
00:32:55.696 --> 00:33:00.334
- i've been there.
00:33:00.334 --> 00:33:01.869
- and flipped on a tv just to kill the noise in the room
00:33:01.869 --> 00:33:06.874
'cause the voices were saying,
00:33:07.508 --> 00:33:09.143
"you're gonna be so much better dead than alive.
00:33:09.143 --> 00:33:11.679
You're worth more to your family dead than alive.
00:33:11.679 --> 00:33:14.015
Do it, do it, do it."
00:33:14.015 --> 00:33:15.750
And he flips on tv just to kill the room noise in his head
00:33:15.750 --> 00:33:21.022
And there was a preacher sitting there with his hand out
00:33:22.090 --> 00:33:24.525
And found this guy- - jesus.
00:33:24.525 --> 00:33:26.227
- and he gave his testimony sitting in that chair, philip.
00:33:26.227 --> 00:33:29.597
- pastor, look into the camera there.
00:33:30.431 --> 00:33:31.666
Somebody might be-
00:33:31.666 --> 00:33:34.335
I heard you saying i've been there.
00:33:34.335 --> 00:33:36.771
- yeah.
00:33:36.771 --> 00:33:38.005
- i've heard you saying that and i-
00:33:38.005 --> 00:33:40.108
- shotgun to my chin.
00:33:40.608 --> 00:33:41.509
- okay.
00:33:41.509 --> 00:33:42.443
- and a-
00:33:42.443 --> 00:33:43.945
- tell that story to that camera with the red light on it
00:33:43.945 --> 00:33:45.379
Because there could be somebody watching
00:33:45.379 --> 00:33:47.715
In that same circumstance.
00:33:47.715 --> 00:33:49.484
- [philip] yeah.
00:33:49.484 --> 00:33:50.585
- there it is.
00:33:50.585 --> 00:33:51.719
- my brother, my sister, whoever you are,
00:33:51.719 --> 00:33:54.489
Wherever you are, i just want you to hear my heart.
00:33:54.489 --> 00:33:57.358
I'm not here to shove anything down your throat,
00:33:57.358 --> 00:33:59.594
But to offer you a message of hope.
00:33:59.594 --> 00:34:02.864
There are people out there,
00:34:02.864 --> 00:34:04.165
You are financially well off and i know you think
00:34:04.165 --> 00:34:06.634
You have everything that you need,
00:34:06.634 --> 00:34:07.835
But there is something that is missing.
00:34:07.835 --> 00:34:09.704
And there are people out there who was where i was,
00:34:09.704 --> 00:34:11.973
Suicidal, shotgun to my chin, and just feeling empty.
00:34:11.973 --> 00:34:15.776
Wherever you are on the spectrum,
00:34:15.776 --> 00:34:17.411
Whether you have lost hope or you think you don't need god,
00:34:17.411 --> 00:34:20.047
I just want to say to you that god created you in his image
00:34:20.047 --> 00:34:24.018
And that he loves you,
00:34:24.018 --> 00:34:25.253
And that the evidence of his love is
00:34:25.253 --> 00:34:27.021
That he sent his son the lord jesus christ into the earth
00:34:27.021 --> 00:34:30.458
Who died a sacrificial death in your place
00:34:30.458 --> 00:34:33.261
That you may be forgiven for your sins,
00:34:33.261 --> 00:34:35.663
That you may know god as a heavenly father.
00:34:35.663 --> 00:34:38.032
I want you to know that the gospel's not about happiness,
00:34:38.032 --> 00:34:40.334
But righteousness.
00:34:40.334 --> 00:34:41.802
That you are not prepared to die apart from christ.
00:34:41.802 --> 00:34:45.173
It doesn't matter if you are on socioeconomic status
00:34:45.173 --> 00:34:48.109
At the very top of that spectrum or on the bottom,
00:34:48.109 --> 00:34:50.645
None of us are prepared to die apart from christ.
00:34:50.645 --> 00:34:53.848
So i want you to know that you can
00:34:53.848 --> 00:34:55.583
Have purpose in life right now,
00:34:55.583 --> 00:34:57.418
And you can have eternity right now
00:34:57.418 --> 00:34:59.353
If you would just turn from your sins,
00:34:59.353 --> 00:35:01.589
Acknowledge that you need a savior,
00:35:01.589 --> 00:35:04.225
And place your faith in the lord jesus christ,
00:35:04.225 --> 00:35:06.527
Wherever you are, whoever you are,
00:35:06.527 --> 00:35:08.996
And what you will find in that humble decision
00:35:08.996 --> 00:35:11.098
If god will be so kind,
00:35:11.098 --> 00:35:12.500
He would enter into your life through the person
00:35:12.500 --> 00:35:14.802
Of the holy spirit regenerate you and make you alive.
00:35:14.802 --> 00:35:18.072
You will come to know a peace you do not know,
00:35:18.072 --> 00:35:20.374
A fulfillment you do not know,
00:35:20.374 --> 00:35:23.277
A love you do not know.
00:35:23.277 --> 00:35:25.146
And you'll be able to live a life of god now
00:35:25.146 --> 00:35:27.582
In purpose that will carry you all the way into eternity
00:35:27.582 --> 00:35:30.151
That you will know when you pillow your head at night,
00:35:30.151 --> 00:35:32.553
Should death find you tonight,
00:35:32.553 --> 00:35:34.455
You would wake up in glory with the savior
00:35:34.455 --> 00:35:36.457
And not someplace else.
00:35:36.457 --> 00:35:37.725
I'm offering you the greatest message of hope
00:35:37.725 --> 00:35:40.661
A human being will ever hear
00:35:40.661 --> 00:35:42.363
Beyond the membership of a church,
00:35:42.363 --> 00:35:44.865
Relationship with the god who created you through his son
00:35:44.865 --> 00:35:48.936
The lord jesus christ,
00:35:48.936 --> 00:35:50.137
In christ and faith in him alone.
00:35:50.137 --> 00:35:53.040
If he can do it for me, if he can do it for tim,
00:35:53.040 --> 00:35:57.111
He can do it for you.
00:35:57.111 --> 00:35:58.079
And that is my prayer for you.
00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:00.114
- lead him in that prayer.
00:36:00.114 --> 00:36:01.115
- yeah.
00:36:01.115 --> 00:36:04.719
Eternal god and of a wise father
00:36:05.353 --> 00:36:07.588
We give you glory and honor and homage for who you are,
00:36:08.723 --> 00:36:12.560
The lord of creation
00:36:13.027 --> 00:36:14.762
And for calling us out of darkness into
00:36:14.762 --> 00:36:17.431
This marvelous life,
00:36:17.431 --> 00:36:18.532
Or that god, we will be eternally grateful.
00:36:18.532 --> 00:36:21.302
And father god, right now,
00:36:21.302 --> 00:36:22.803
I pray for someone on the other side of that camera
00:36:22.803 --> 00:36:27.141
Who's watching us right now,
00:36:27.141 --> 00:36:29.543
I pray for the one who's hurting,
00:36:29.543 --> 00:36:31.045
The one who's angry,
00:36:31.045 --> 00:36:32.546
The one who's in a false religion,
00:36:32.546 --> 00:36:34.348
The one who's far away from you,
00:36:34.348 --> 00:36:35.583
The one who does not believe,
00:36:35.583 --> 00:36:36.884
The one who thinks they have everything,
00:36:36.884 --> 00:36:39.353
And yet they are missing you,
00:36:39.353 --> 00:36:40.454
I pray for them right now.
00:36:40.454 --> 00:36:42.690
God, by the power of the holy spirit,
00:36:42.690 --> 00:36:44.592
You would draw them to yourself,
00:36:44.592 --> 00:36:46.360
That you would open their blinded eyes that they will see
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:49.530
That you would unstop their deaf ears,
00:36:49.530 --> 00:36:51.332
That they would hear this call to come into the kingdom.
00:36:51.332 --> 00:36:54.201
I pray you would meet them wherever they are,
00:36:54.201 --> 00:36:56.270
A hotel room, a house, a car on the side of the road.
00:36:56.270 --> 00:36:59.473
Wherever they are, i pray you would meet them right now
00:36:59.473 --> 00:37:02.376
And draw them to yourself.
00:37:02.376 --> 00:37:04.278
I pray you would regenerate the loss and make them
00:37:04.278 --> 00:37:06.781
Sons and daughters and they would come to know you
00:37:06.781 --> 00:37:10.051
As a loving savior.
00:37:10.051 --> 00:37:11.886
I pray father, in the name of jesus
00:37:11.886 --> 00:37:13.621
That they would love the things that you love
00:37:13.621 --> 00:37:15.656
And they would hate the things that you would hate.
00:37:15.656 --> 00:37:18.125
They would run from sin
00:37:18.125 --> 00:37:19.860
Towards holiness and towards the light.
00:37:19.860 --> 00:37:21.595
And father, i pray in this moment,
00:37:21.595 --> 00:37:23.264
The kingdom will be enlarged
00:37:23.264 --> 00:37:24.832
Through the deliverance of those
00:37:24.832 --> 00:37:26.934
Who are far away from you god.
00:37:26.934 --> 00:37:28.969
Give us souls right now god lest we die
00:37:28.969 --> 00:37:31.539
And wrap your arms around the one who is hurting.
00:37:31.539 --> 00:37:34.342
And father, we pray for the son and daughter
00:37:34.342 --> 00:37:36.544
Who have strayed, let them know they have not gone so far
00:37:36.544 --> 00:37:39.580
That they cannot come back.
00:37:39.580 --> 00:37:41.415
Rescue father lord, the lamb who are strayed
00:37:41.415 --> 00:37:44.218
And rescue the unbeliever who do not know you.
00:37:44.218 --> 00:37:46.821
We pray god for salvation and restoration.
00:37:46.821 --> 00:37:49.890
- [tim] thank you, lord.
00:37:49.890 --> 00:37:51.092
- right now god we ask in the mighty
00:37:51.092 --> 00:37:54.095
And the majestic
00:37:54.462 --> 00:37:55.896
And the matchless name of our soon coming king,
00:37:56.831 --> 00:37:59.667
The lord jesus christ.
00:37:59.667 --> 00:38:01.435
Amen and amen and amen.
00:38:01.435 --> 00:38:03.437
- tim, go old school with us and lead them in a prayer
00:38:03.437 --> 00:38:06.407
If they don't know how to pray.
00:38:06.407 --> 00:38:08.275
- yeah, i want you to repeat this after me.
00:38:09.210 --> 00:38:11.812
Lord jesus, come into my heart.
00:38:11.812 --> 00:38:15.683
Forgive me from my sin.
00:38:16.183 --> 00:38:18.486
I repent and i turn away from
00:38:18.486 --> 00:38:22.189
The life that i am living.
00:38:22.189 --> 00:38:24.992
- hallelujah, jesus.
00:38:24.992 --> 00:38:26.060
- i turn towards you, jesus.
00:38:26.060 --> 00:38:27.595
- hallelujah.
00:38:27.595 --> 00:38:28.763
- and i thank you.
00:38:28.763 --> 00:38:30.297
- that you are now my lord and my master.
00:38:29.263 --> 00:38:33.667
So i confess it with my mouth.
00:38:33.667 --> 00:38:35.803
And i believe in my heart that you were raised
00:38:35.803 --> 00:38:39.907
From the dead for me- - [participant] hallelujah!
00:38:39.907 --> 00:38:42.309
- and so, i believe it god, i believe it
00:38:42.309 --> 00:38:44.445
With all of me.
00:38:44.445 --> 00:38:45.813
And i give you all of me
00:38:45.813 --> 00:38:48.449
In the name of jesus, i pray, amen.
00:38:49.216 --> 00:38:52.686
- for those that
00:38:52.686 --> 00:38:55.389
Are responding to this,
00:38:55.890 --> 00:38:57.391
However they're responding, what now?
00:38:57.391 --> 00:39:00.394
What's the next thing you need to say to them?
00:39:00.394 --> 00:39:02.963
(guest speaking indistinctly)
00:39:02.963 --> 00:39:04.231
- i would say get connected in community!
00:39:04.231 --> 00:39:06.934
- yeah.
00:39:06.934 --> 00:39:08.269
- find a bible teaching church, get connected.
00:39:08.269 --> 00:39:12.606
Don't settle for just being a follower of jesus christ.
00:39:13.741 --> 00:39:17.878
Become a disciple.
00:39:17.878 --> 00:39:19.346
You can follow sometimes from a distance.
00:39:20.147 --> 00:39:23.117
But to be a disciple means you're close enough
00:39:23.117 --> 00:39:25.553
To be disciplined by the word of god.
00:39:25.553 --> 00:39:28.389
So be a disciple.
00:39:28.823 --> 00:39:30.558
Get rooted and grounded in biblical community
00:39:30.558 --> 00:39:34.094
And watch how god continues to transition your life
00:39:34.094 --> 00:39:37.097
From where you are to where he desires me to be.
00:39:37.097 --> 00:39:40.401
(guest speaking indistinctly)
00:39:40.401 --> 00:39:41.368
Yeah.
00:39:41.368 --> 00:39:42.837
- sitting here and listening to you pray.
00:39:43.704 --> 00:39:46.407
(interviewer chuckling)
00:39:46.407 --> 00:39:48.709
It was like i was listening to your daddy pray for you.
00:39:48.709 --> 00:39:52.213
Contending for you.
00:39:52.213 --> 00:39:54.215
And i know that so many people watching tonight
00:39:54.215 --> 00:39:56.383
Are contending for your children to come back to christ,
00:39:56.383 --> 00:40:01.655
To find god somewhere.
00:40:02.156 --> 00:40:03.991
God, could you send someone to my kids?
00:40:03.991 --> 00:40:07.261
And you know, you might not see it.
00:40:07.261 --> 00:40:10.130
You might go on to be with the lord before you see that,
00:40:11.265 --> 00:40:14.368
But look what we have sitting here. (chuckling)
00:40:14.368 --> 00:40:17.505
I know your daddy contended for your life,
00:40:17.505 --> 00:40:20.741
For your faith,
00:40:20.741 --> 00:40:22.977
For god's purpose to be
00:40:22.977 --> 00:40:25.679
Performed in your life, i know he did!
00:40:26.514 --> 00:40:29.683
And to see what now we have
00:40:30.284 --> 00:40:33.120
And that testimony that goes forward,
00:40:33.120 --> 00:40:35.422
The testimony that god wants to do it again.
00:40:35.422 --> 00:40:39.059
God wants to do it again and again and again,
00:40:39.059 --> 00:40:42.162
And he wants to do it for your children.
00:40:42.162 --> 00:40:44.331
He wants to do it for your family.
00:40:44.331 --> 00:40:46.200
He wants to do it for this nation.
00:40:46.200 --> 00:40:48.669
And to contend for the lives and our faith.
00:40:48.669 --> 00:40:53.541
Because there's a lot of people out there
00:40:53.541 --> 00:40:55.709
That'll die for their faith.
00:40:55.709 --> 00:40:57.211
- that's right, that's right.
00:40:57.211 --> 00:40:58.479
- and we don't wanna live for ours?
00:40:58.479 --> 00:41:00.314
(host chuckling) - wow, wow.
00:41:00.314 --> 00:41:01.215
- right?
00:41:01.215 --> 00:41:02.416
- [guest] wow.
00:41:02.416 --> 00:41:03.651
- and so, i think that's so powerful,
00:41:03.651 --> 00:41:04.818
And i think something has hit america.
00:41:04.818 --> 00:41:07.154
I really do.
00:41:07.154 --> 00:41:07.988
- [guest] yes.
00:41:07.988 --> 00:41:09.156
- that has sparked something.
00:41:09.156 --> 00:41:12.459
And hearing the voices,
00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:14.361
And i love, i love that you guys are here today.
00:41:14.361 --> 00:41:18.098
I am so thankful to god for your voices.
00:41:18.098 --> 00:41:21.802
And that god has raised up this generation of believers,
00:41:21.802 --> 00:41:26.373
And i'm so glad that when we were handed
00:41:26.373 --> 00:41:29.343
A (chuckling) microphone,
00:41:29.343 --> 00:41:30.911
That we can hand it off to you guys, because it is powerful
00:41:30.911 --> 00:41:33.647
And it's mighty.
00:41:33.647 --> 00:41:34.982
And we're gonna see a change.
00:41:34.982 --> 00:41:36.750
If you can have people show up
00:41:36.750 --> 00:41:39.320
At state farm arena for an hour to pray.
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:42.356
- [guest] that's right.
00:41:42.356 --> 00:41:43.190
- [host] that's huge!
00:41:43.190 --> 00:41:44.592
That's amazing.
00:41:44.592 --> 00:41:45.993
And god is doing something, and i love you both.
00:41:45.993 --> 00:41:48.262
- [guest] thank you. (speaking indistinctly)
00:41:48.262 --> 00:41:49.663
- and i just am behind you.
00:41:49.663 --> 00:41:52.533
- that's actually.
00:41:52.533 --> 00:41:53.367
- 1000%.
00:41:53.367 --> 00:41:54.768
- one of the most incredible things i've ever heard.
00:41:54.768 --> 00:41:56.337
Because most ministries would market that event
00:41:56.337 --> 00:41:58.973
For about- - yeah, no ban, no.
00:41:58.973 --> 00:42:00.140
(host chuckling)
00:42:00.140 --> 00:42:01.508
- nine months, and have to have the latest singer.
00:42:01.508 --> 00:42:04.578
If you didn't have brandon lake there, my god,
00:42:04.578 --> 00:42:07.348
How are you gonna get 40,000 people, you know?
00:42:07.348 --> 00:42:09.817
And so, the idea
00:42:09.817 --> 00:42:11.218
That you made a simple clearing call for prayer,
00:42:11.218 --> 00:42:14.822
There's something going on down there
00:42:14.822 --> 00:42:17.057
In your church and around your area.
00:42:17.858 --> 00:42:20.327
And at some point,
00:42:20.327 --> 00:42:24.264
What's the answer to something
00:42:24.898 --> 00:42:27.635
That none of us have ever heard of?
00:42:27.635 --> 00:42:29.837
What happened down there that you make one call,
00:42:29.837 --> 00:42:32.973
And the next thing you know, the stadium's full
00:42:32.973 --> 00:42:36.010
For people to pray.
00:42:36.010 --> 00:42:37.311
- yeah.
00:42:37.311 --> 00:42:38.612
I think if i could be completely transparent,
00:42:38.612 --> 00:42:40.848
I think across america and around the world,
00:42:40.848 --> 00:42:44.184
I might be known for proclamation for my preaching.
00:42:44.184 --> 00:42:47.488
But that's not the strongest part of my ministry.
00:42:47.488 --> 00:42:49.857
Right, the strongest part of my ministry
00:42:49.857 --> 00:42:51.425
Is what people don't see, it's my prayer life.
00:42:51.425 --> 00:42:53.594
- mmm.
00:42:53.594 --> 00:42:54.528
- and i feel that it is a legacy
00:42:54.528 --> 00:42:55.663
That's come down from my mother
00:42:55.663 --> 00:42:56.930
And from my family, just a legacy of prayer.
00:42:56.930 --> 00:42:59.533
I find more joy in being in my prayer closet
00:42:59.533 --> 00:43:01.869
Than on a platform.
00:43:01.869 --> 00:43:03.404
And so, it's something that we've modeled in our church,
00:43:03.404 --> 00:43:05.973
We have a very strong prayer team led by a godly woman.
00:43:05.973 --> 00:43:09.276
And our church is all about prayer.
00:43:09.276 --> 00:43:11.178
In fact, we have three pillars at our church
00:43:11.178 --> 00:43:12.880
That we are a house of presence,
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:14.548
Prayer presence and proclamation.
00:43:14.548 --> 00:43:16.884
And so, we have modeled that.
00:43:16.884 --> 00:43:18.285
And it's not a game for us.
00:43:18.285 --> 00:43:20.454
So, i think when that call went out,
00:43:20.454 --> 00:43:22.823
I think it's less of us.
00:43:22.823 --> 00:43:24.224
I mean, we spent three months prepping for that.
00:43:24.224 --> 00:43:26.960
I thank the spirit of god.
00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:29.396
- sovereignly drew hungry men and women
00:43:28.495 --> 00:43:32.933
From across the nation around the world.
00:43:32.933 --> 00:43:35.035
And what we saw was a beautiful mosaic of the remnant
00:43:35.035 --> 00:43:38.405
That is in the earth, that is hungry
00:43:38.405 --> 00:43:40.240
For the lord jesus christ.
00:43:40.240 --> 00:43:41.642
And so i think it was a sovereign move of god beyond us,
00:43:41.642 --> 00:43:45.512
Beyond my staff, beyond our capacity.
00:43:45.512 --> 00:43:47.581
I think if we took credit for it,
00:43:47.581 --> 00:43:49.349
We would dishonor the lord.
00:43:49.349 --> 00:43:50.718
I think god sovereignly drew people to that place
00:43:50.718 --> 00:43:54.922
For that prayer hour,
00:43:54.922 --> 00:43:56.657
Because the nation needs that right now more than anything.
00:43:56.657 --> 00:43:59.626
We need to be united in prayer.
00:43:59.626 --> 00:44:01.361
- the three p's again?
00:44:01.361 --> 00:44:02.996
- prayer, presence, proclamation.
00:44:02.996 --> 00:44:05.666
- and let's add prophecy to that.
00:44:05.666 --> 00:44:07.201
(laurie chuckles)
00:44:07.201 --> 00:44:08.402
- absolutely. - because it was a word
00:44:08.402 --> 00:44:09.403
Of the lord that prepared him.
00:44:09.403 --> 00:44:11.505
And so the idea that
00:44:11.972 --> 00:44:15.843
God doesn't do anything new until
00:44:15.843 --> 00:44:18.045
He reveals it
00:44:18.045 --> 00:44:19.079
To his prophets. - facts, facts.
00:44:19.079 --> 00:44:21.315
You give him the word.
00:44:21.315 --> 00:44:23.450
You're preaching to 100 and something people
00:44:24.351 --> 00:44:26.987
At the time, and now you have a movement down there
00:44:26.987 --> 00:44:30.424
In atlanta that-
00:44:30.424 --> 00:44:31.959
- it's amazing. - we've never seen before.
00:44:31.959 --> 00:44:33.026
It's never happened before.
00:44:33.026 --> 00:44:33.994
- i just looked down and read,
00:44:33.994 --> 00:44:35.262
"revival doesn't wait for a microphone."
00:44:35.262 --> 00:44:37.464
- [tim] that's right.
00:44:37.464 --> 00:44:38.766
- "it starts wherever the word is spoken."
00:44:38.766 --> 00:44:39.933
- that's right.
00:44:39.933 --> 00:44:41.235
(laurie laughing) - and he won't say this,
00:44:41.235 --> 00:44:42.436
But i'll ask him the question
00:44:42.436 --> 00:44:43.804
Because i think it's important
00:44:43.804 --> 00:44:45.139
For our viewers. - good, good.
00:44:45.139 --> 00:44:46.573
- but how long was it before you announced access
00:44:46.573 --> 00:44:51.845
At state farm arena, to the time where you got a response
00:44:53.013 --> 00:44:56.450
For 24,000 people?
00:44:56.450 --> 00:44:57.985
- seven days.
00:44:57.985 --> 00:44:58.952
(laurie laughing)
00:44:58.952 --> 00:45:00.220
(tim laughs) - i love it.
00:45:00.220 --> 00:45:01.555
- okay, well, that's never happened either.
00:45:01.555 --> 00:45:03.157
So, the-
00:45:03.157 --> 00:45:04.525
(guests laughing)
00:45:04.525 --> 00:45:05.592
Word of the lord comes to you.
00:45:05.592 --> 00:45:07.961
- yeah.
00:45:07.961 --> 00:45:09.363
- okay, and did you know pastor philip at the time?
00:45:09.363 --> 00:45:12.132
Had you ever met or-
00:45:12.132 --> 00:45:13.534
- we never met in person.
00:45:13.534 --> 00:45:15.302
(laurie scoffs)
00:45:15.302 --> 00:45:16.136
Never met in person.
00:45:16.136 --> 00:45:17.104
He was standing in a circle,
00:45:17.104 --> 00:45:19.706
And him and his wife, lena, and god just highlighted them,
00:45:19.706 --> 00:45:23.443
Placed this impression
00:45:23.443 --> 00:45:24.611
On my spirit. - wow.
00:45:24.611 --> 00:45:26.013
- and we kinda went our separate ways.
00:45:26.013 --> 00:45:28.015
I went to the stage to preach.
00:45:28.015 --> 00:45:29.817
And they were there, and then i got shuffled off,
00:45:29.817 --> 00:45:32.019
And i just couldn't shake this word.
00:45:32.019 --> 00:45:34.488
And so finally, i'm not even sure how we connected
00:45:34.488 --> 00:45:37.658
On social media, but-
00:45:37.658 --> 00:45:39.893
- i sent you a dm
00:45:39.893 --> 00:45:41.528
And i let you know
00:45:41.528 --> 00:45:43.030
I was in the room that day. - that's right, and i saw-
00:45:43.030 --> 00:45:44.298
- and they wouldn't let me talk to you.
00:45:44.298 --> 00:45:45.432
- and i saw his picture. (hosts laughing)
00:45:45.432 --> 00:45:46.500
(group chattering indistinctly)
00:45:46.500 --> 00:45:47.334
(all laughing)
00:45:47.334 --> 00:45:50.604
- can't talk to tim timberlake.
00:45:51.238 --> 00:45:54.074
Can't talk to...
00:45:54.441 --> 00:45:56.276
- don't ask me how i know! - can't talk to tim.
00:45:57.244 --> 00:45:59.346
- i saw his picture, and i sent him that prophetic message.
00:45:59.346 --> 00:46:02.683
- can't talk to him. - i love it.
00:46:02.683 --> 00:46:04.117
- that's it.
00:46:04.117 --> 00:46:05.352
- and at the time, the room was empty.
00:46:05.352 --> 00:46:06.687
- yep. - come on now.
00:46:06.687 --> 00:46:07.855
- your room was empty. - that's right.
00:46:07.855 --> 00:46:08.655
My room was empty, man.
00:46:08.655 --> 00:46:10.190
We were going through one of the most challenging seasons
00:46:10.190 --> 00:46:12.693
Of our church, and we were preaching to empty rooms
00:46:12.693 --> 00:46:16.997
At the same time and god gave me a word.
00:46:16.997 --> 00:46:20.934
And oftentimes god gives you a word
00:46:20.934 --> 00:46:23.370
For somebody else like, "god!"
00:46:23.370 --> 00:46:24.972
- [laurie] yeah. (laughing) - i sure would like that word.
00:46:24.972 --> 00:46:26.506
What in the world is going on?
00:46:26.506 --> 00:46:27.774
- you sure that's not
00:46:27.774 --> 00:46:29.142
For me, lord? (laughing) - that's right. (laughing)
00:46:29.142 --> 00:46:30.377
But just to marvel at the gift of god.
00:46:30.377 --> 00:46:34.181
And both he and his wife has been...
00:46:34.181 --> 00:46:37.017
It inspires me.
00:46:37.017 --> 00:46:38.051
- okay, so tim. - [tim] yeah.
00:46:38.051 --> 00:46:40.287
Can you see the shaquille o'neal
00:46:40.287 --> 00:46:42.456
In him too? (laurie laughing)
00:46:42.456 --> 00:46:43.390
Do you see a little bit of-
00:46:43.390 --> 00:46:44.858
- that's (indistinct) from shaquille from new jersey,
00:46:44.858 --> 00:46:46.126
And i'm from queens- (tim chuckles)
00:46:46.126 --> 00:46:47.628
So we got mannerisms.
00:46:47.628 --> 00:46:48.795
- a little... the voice. - i need another
00:46:48.795 --> 00:46:50.597
Two feet though.
00:46:50.597 --> 00:46:51.431
- a little the voice.
00:46:51.431 --> 00:46:52.699
The voice is- - i need another two feet.
00:46:52.699 --> 00:46:54.134
- yeah, yeah.
00:46:54.134 --> 00:46:54.968
(hosts laughing)
00:46:54.968 --> 00:46:56.403
- [philip] i need another two feet.
00:46:56.403 --> 00:46:57.404
- and probably another-
00:46:57.404 --> 00:46:58.572
- yeah.
00:46:58.572 --> 00:46:59.640
(guests speak indistinctly)
00:46:59.640 --> 00:47:01.074
(all laugh)
00:47:01.074 --> 00:47:01.909
Yeah.
00:47:01.909 --> 00:47:03.210
- okay, when do you guys do your podcast?
00:47:03.210 --> 00:47:05.479
When does it come out?
00:47:05.479 --> 00:47:06.914
What days do the new ones come out?
00:47:06.914 --> 00:47:09.116
- so "adios" drop every tuesday.
00:47:09.116 --> 00:47:12.352
And then the video to them drop on thursday.
00:47:12.352 --> 00:47:14.955
- nice. - on thursday.
00:47:14.955 --> 00:47:15.822
- yeah. - beautiful.
00:47:15.822 --> 00:47:16.790
- you know shaquille's mother's
00:47:16.790 --> 00:47:17.724
Actually one of my friends.
00:47:17.724 --> 00:47:19.059
- no!
00:47:19.059 --> 00:47:19.893
- (indistinct) yeah.
00:47:19.893 --> 00:47:20.994
Shaquille's mom, one of my friends.
00:47:20.994 --> 00:47:22.262
She texts me, she calls me, sends me kiss-
00:47:22.262 --> 00:47:23.363
- [laurie] i knew his dad.
00:47:23.363 --> 00:47:24.264
- you knew his dad?
00:47:24.264 --> 00:47:25.098
- yeah, shaquille's mom
00:47:25.098 --> 00:47:26.199
Dr. lucille o'neill-
00:47:26.199 --> 00:47:27.901
- yes.
00:47:27.901 --> 00:47:28.835
- that is one of my friends.
00:47:28.835 --> 00:47:30.103
She's a good godly woman too.
00:47:30.103 --> 00:47:32.205
She's a really godly woman.
00:47:32.205 --> 00:47:34.041
- [tim] i love that.
00:47:34.041 --> 00:47:34.875
- she's taller than me.
00:47:34.875 --> 00:47:36.243
(all laugh)
00:47:36.243 --> 00:47:37.511
She's a godly woman, dr. lucille o'neill.
00:47:37.511 --> 00:47:40.047
Shout out dr. lucille o'neill.
00:47:40.047 --> 00:47:41.882
- (chuckles) tim, your program is on tbn on sundays.
00:47:42.950 --> 00:47:45.686
- it is, yes. - i love it. (air swooshes)
00:47:45.686 --> 00:47:47.587
(inspirational music)
00:47:47.587 --> 00:47:49.323
- peter tells the other disciples, "i'm going fishing,"
00:47:49.323 --> 00:47:52.392
And they caught nothing
00:47:52.926 --> 00:47:53.827
All night long once again.
00:47:53.827 --> 00:47:55.662
Jesus sees them and tells them, "drop your nets."
00:47:55.662 --> 00:47:59.666
And scripture says in john chapter 21
00:48:00.467 --> 00:48:02.636
That they caught 153 fish.
00:48:02.636 --> 00:48:05.339
That's a very specific number.
00:48:05.339 --> 00:48:07.341
The reason i believe that number is placed in scripture,
00:48:07.341 --> 00:48:10.677
Because at that particular time,
00:48:10.677 --> 00:48:12.646
The only nations in nationalities
00:48:12.646 --> 00:48:15.015
That were recognized were 153.
00:48:15.015 --> 00:48:17.351
It was a prophetic declaration to peter
00:48:17.351 --> 00:48:19.586
That not only are you going to fish for people,
00:48:19.586 --> 00:48:22.222
But you're going to reach all demographics of people.
00:48:22.222 --> 00:48:25.025
(inspirational music)
00:48:25.025 --> 00:48:26.727
(crowd applauds)
00:48:26.727 --> 00:48:29.696
- hear me. hear me.
00:48:30.163 --> 00:48:32.899
The old decisions that you made
00:48:33.567 --> 00:48:36.670
Did not disqualify the purpose
00:48:37.304 --> 00:48:39.840
That god has set before you
00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:42.042
If you choose to step outside of your boat
00:48:42.042 --> 00:48:45.345
Of comfort and convenience and follow him.
00:48:45.345 --> 00:48:48.148
(serene music)
00:48:48.148 --> 00:48:51.184
This is not how this story ends.
00:48:51.818 --> 00:48:54.388
The story doesn't end with peter on the boat.
00:48:55.355 --> 00:48:57.958
And your story won't end with you
00:48:58.692 --> 00:49:01.294
Resting and dying in comfort and convenience,
00:49:01.294 --> 00:49:04.498
Because that's all you've been familiar with.
00:49:04.498 --> 00:49:08.668
God has more for you.
00:49:08.668 --> 00:49:10.404
- i love watching you, sir.
00:49:10.404 --> 00:49:11.705
- it is an honor and privilege.
00:49:12.339 --> 00:49:14.141
Two generations of the - isn't that great?
00:49:14.141 --> 00:49:15.742
- crouches and timberlake doing ministry.
00:49:15.742 --> 00:49:17.411
- and i see that baby coming up too.
00:49:17.411 --> 00:49:18.845
- absolutely. - pastor philip.
00:49:18.845 --> 00:49:19.813
- yep. - when are you
00:49:19.813 --> 00:49:20.747
Gonna be a tbn programmer?
00:49:20.747 --> 00:49:22.482
- [laurie] come on. - that's right.
00:49:22.482 --> 00:49:23.850
- whenever the door opens.
00:49:23.850 --> 00:49:24.985
- soon and very soon. - yeah.
00:49:24.985 --> 00:49:26.153
- i'll be honored. - well, let's,
00:49:26.153 --> 00:49:27.554
Let's have that,
00:49:27.554 --> 00:49:28.822
Let's have that discussion.
00:49:28.822 --> 00:49:30.123
I remember sitting right here,
00:49:30.123 --> 00:49:33.493
Td jakes one day said,
00:49:33.493 --> 00:49:35.529
"the first time i ever walked through the,
00:49:35.529 --> 00:49:37.831
The gates of tbn, he said,
00:49:37.831 --> 00:49:40.067
"my knees were knocking together,
00:49:40.067 --> 00:49:41.735
And paul and jan crouch,
00:49:41.735 --> 00:49:43.036
And i was pastoring 200 people.
00:49:43.036 --> 00:49:46.073
And paul crouch looked at me
00:49:46.073 --> 00:49:48.175
At the end of that broadcast and said,
00:49:48.175 --> 00:49:50.343
'i think you ought to have your own program on tbn.'"
00:49:50.343 --> 00:49:53.580
And pastor philip,
00:49:53.580 --> 00:49:55.382
I think you need your own program here on tbn.
00:49:56.316 --> 00:49:58.018
- jesus. thank you.
00:49:58.018 --> 00:49:59.152
- and so, if you've got the cameras,
00:49:59.152 --> 00:50:00.787
And the lights and the whole thing,
00:50:00.787 --> 00:50:02.355
And we'll help figure all that out,
00:50:02.355 --> 00:50:04.024
- [pastor phillips] thank you, sir.
00:50:04.024 --> 00:50:05.559
- we'd love to, we'd love to welcome you into the broadcast.
00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:06.693
- thank you, sir. i'm humbled.
00:50:06.693 --> 00:50:08.195
- thank you so much. - and you're gonna
00:50:08.195 --> 00:50:09.729
Have to learn not to keep slapping your microphone.
00:50:09.729 --> 00:50:12.099
- oh my gosh. - yeah. yeah.
00:50:12.099 --> 00:50:13.667
'cause every time you do that, he,
00:50:13.667 --> 00:50:14.968
You, everyone here just,
00:50:14.968 --> 00:50:16.970
That's all they heard. - do preach with a handheld?
00:50:16.970 --> 00:50:18.905
- i preach with a air piece.
00:50:18.905 --> 00:50:19.873
- okay. alright.
00:50:19.873 --> 00:50:22.075
- so you can, so you can bang on your chest all you want.
00:50:22.075 --> 00:50:24.177
(laurie laughs) i love that.
00:50:24.177 --> 00:50:25.378
- [pastor philip] absolutely. - okay.
00:50:25.378 --> 00:50:26.379
- [pastor philip] i'm honored.
00:50:26.379 --> 00:50:27.214
- final thoughts, guys.
00:50:27.214 --> 00:50:28.648
Street preachers, your podcast,
00:50:28.648 --> 00:50:30.617
All that information's on the screen.
00:50:30.617 --> 00:50:33.086
Your last thought kinda to this.
00:50:33.086 --> 00:50:37.491
We didn't want you to come here and not preach.
00:50:37.491 --> 00:50:39.526
We didn't want to come here and not lead people to jesus.
00:50:39.526 --> 00:50:41.528
- [pastor phillips] yeah. - we didn't wanna come here
00:50:41.528 --> 00:50:42.929
And not pray.
00:50:42.929 --> 00:50:43.763
We didn't wanna, okay.
00:50:43.763 --> 00:50:44.898
That's what we do. okay. - yes, sir.
00:50:44.898 --> 00:50:46.233
- and you guys, you guys did it.
00:50:46.233 --> 00:50:48.068
Your final thoughts and then i'll give you the final word.
00:50:48.068 --> 00:50:50.704
- i just, i sense such a strong release for healing.
00:50:50.704 --> 00:50:55.142
For- - come on. do it.
00:50:55.142 --> 00:50:56.042
- our viewers. - do it.
00:50:56.042 --> 00:50:57.444
- [laurie] do it. - for those that are battling
00:50:57.444 --> 00:50:59.246
The disease right now.
00:50:59.246 --> 00:51:00.347
- [matt] thank you, lord.
00:51:00.347 --> 00:51:01.748
- you feel hopeless, you feel bound, you feel stuck.
00:51:01.748 --> 00:51:04.885
Right now in the name of jesus,
00:51:04.885 --> 00:51:06.186
I just thank you. - thank you, lord.
00:51:06.186 --> 00:51:07.454
- that testimonies after testimonies of-
00:51:07.454 --> 00:51:09.856
- [matt] thank you, lord.
00:51:09.856 --> 00:51:10.857
- deliverance, and freedom,
00:51:10.857 --> 00:51:12.792
And supernatural healing-
00:51:12.792 --> 00:51:14.194
- [pastor philip] yes, lord. - would come in,
00:51:14.194 --> 00:51:15.862
In the name of jesus.
00:51:15.862 --> 00:51:16.997
And so right now, - yes, lord.
00:51:16.997 --> 00:51:18.231
- thank you right now that your name
00:51:18.231 --> 00:51:20.600
Is higher than- - [matt] yes.
00:51:20.600 --> 00:51:21.735
- every other name,
00:51:21.735 --> 00:51:22.903
Higher than the name of disease,
00:51:22.903 --> 00:51:24.437
Higher than the name of cancer,
00:51:24.437 --> 00:51:25.705
Higher than the name of diabetes,
00:51:25.705 --> 00:51:27.007
Higher than every other name.
00:51:27.007 --> 00:51:28.341
And so right now, god, we plead your name.
00:51:28.341 --> 00:51:30.610
And god, we ask right now in the name of jesus
00:51:30.610 --> 00:51:33.647
That there would be undeniable, documented miracles.
00:51:33.647 --> 00:51:37.617
- [pastor philip] yes, lord, - that pour in to tbn
00:51:37.617 --> 00:51:40.220
From this moment. - thank you, father.
00:51:40.220 --> 00:51:41.721
- in the name of jesus we pray.
00:51:41.721 --> 00:51:43.256
- [pastor philip] yes, lord. - amen.
00:51:43.256 --> 00:51:44.991
- pastor. - my final word is repetitive.
00:51:44.991 --> 00:51:48.228
Time is running out. - hmm.
00:51:48.228 --> 00:51:49.863
- and there is nothing that's gonna satisfy
00:51:49.863 --> 00:51:51.665
You in this life, more than a deep,
00:51:51.665 --> 00:51:55.135
Intimate, real, genuine personal relationship
00:51:55.135 --> 00:51:59.406
With the lord jesus christ.
00:51:59.406 --> 00:52:01.107
That is my final word.
00:52:01.107 --> 00:52:02.375
- and my final question.
00:52:02.375 --> 00:52:03.777
Explain your hat to me.
00:52:03.777 --> 00:52:05.645
- i am a black sheep.
00:52:06.146 --> 00:52:08.648
I am an outlier to western christian culture.
00:52:08.648 --> 00:52:14.154
I am on the battlefield for orthodox christianity
00:52:15.155 --> 00:52:19.092
In the tenets of the faith.
00:52:19.092 --> 00:52:20.994
I am not owned by any camp or anyone.
00:52:20.994 --> 00:52:26.366
I am a servant of the lord jesus christ.
00:52:27.234 --> 00:52:28.768
And like paul, i wanna finish my race.
00:52:28.768 --> 00:52:31.104
I wanna fight for the faith.
00:52:31.104 --> 00:52:33.073
I wanna receive the crown that's laid up for me.
00:52:33.073 --> 00:52:35.342
And whether people love me or hate me,
00:52:35.342 --> 00:52:37.277
Or understand me, god knows my heart.
00:52:37.277 --> 00:52:39.913
And, and that's why i'm a black sheep.
00:52:39.913 --> 00:52:42.582
- hmm. - yeah.
00:52:42.582 --> 00:52:44.251
- love you guys, both of you.
00:52:44.884 --> 00:52:45.952
- we love you too. - amazing.
00:52:45.952 --> 00:52:47.120
- love you too. - what an awesome day.
00:52:47.120 --> 00:52:49.256
(pastor philip chuckles)
00:52:49.256 --> 00:52:50.223
And you realize, think of it,
00:52:50.223 --> 00:52:51.625
For 53 years, we've been sitting down, breaking it down.
00:52:51.625 --> 00:52:56.863
Your mom and daddy, my mom and daddy.
00:52:57.697 --> 00:52:59.232
We've been doing all this for all these years,
00:52:59.232 --> 00:53:01.434
But we're doing the same thing.
00:53:01.434 --> 00:53:03.003
- that's right.
00:53:03.003 --> 00:53:04.037
- so powerful. - that's right.
00:53:04.037 --> 00:53:05.338
- we're just lifting up jesus. - that's it.
00:53:05.338 --> 00:53:06.706
- just lifting up jesus. - letting him draw people.
00:53:06.706 --> 00:53:08.341
Thank you. - we're contending
00:53:08.341 --> 00:53:09.476
For the faith. - we're doing it.
00:53:09.476 --> 00:53:10.744
Thank you, guys.
00:53:10.744 --> 00:53:11.578
We'll do this again.
00:53:11.578 --> 00:53:12.912
- absolutely. - and we'll see you next time.
00:53:12.912 --> 00:53:14.447
Bye-bye.
00:53:14.447 --> 00:53:15.282
(upbeat music)
00:53:15.282 --> 00:53:15.282
