00:00:07.57\00:00:12.44
I want to spend my life

Hello, my name is John Lomacang
00:01:06.66\00:01:08.43
and welcome to a very important
program entitled "Controlled".
00:01:08.46\00:01:12.93
Now that's a title that
00:01:12.97\00:01:14.64
it's kind of
vague but very specific
00:01:14.67\00:01:16.50
because you may be living
in a controlled environment
00:01:16.54\00:01:19.07
and don't even know it.
00:01:19.11\00:01:20.48
Your mind may be controlled
and you don't know it.
00:01:20.51\00:01:23.71
Your children may be controlled
and they don't know it.
00:01:23.75\00:01:28.35
This is a program
that you cannot afford
00:01:28.38\00:01:30.35
to turn away from.
00:01:30.39\00:01:31.72
We have three very
special guests today
00:01:31.75\00:01:33.19
that will open
the door on a subject
00:01:33.22\00:01:35.86
that is rare and
often not heard of,
00:01:35.89\00:01:40.03
but very
informative, very timely,
00:01:40.06\00:01:42.46
very contemporary.
00:01:42.50\00:01:44.10
So if you wanna hit the
record button right now,
00:01:44.13\00:01:45.93
I would suggest you do that.
00:01:45.97\00:01:48.00
If you want to
take down the address
00:01:48.04\00:01:49.37
at the end of the
program to a get a copy of it,
00:01:49.40\00:01:50.91
that's a very
important thing to do.
00:01:50.94\00:01:52.34
But get your children together,
your family members together,
00:01:52.37\00:01:55.14
sit them down right now
because the topic "Controlled"
00:01:55.18\00:01:58.55
is so necessary to understand
00:01:58.58\00:02:01.75
that you'll only
come to the light of it
00:02:01.78\00:02:04.49
as you continue to
listen with an intent ear.
00:02:04.52\00:02:07.26
And we often
encourage, if you're Christian
00:02:07.29\00:02:09.82
and you're watching this program
00:02:09.86\00:02:11.19
really breathe a word of prayer
00:02:11.23\00:02:13.56
that the Lord can
allow your ears to hear
00:02:13.60\00:02:15.36
what the Spirit has
to say to the churches.
00:02:15.40\00:02:17.70
On a different note, we
thank you for your prayers
00:02:17.73\00:02:19.43
and your
financial support of 3ABN
00:02:19.47\00:02:21.70
that continues going and growing
00:02:21.74\00:02:23.17
as we prepare for
the coming of our Lord.
00:02:23.20\00:02:25.51
And thank you so much on behalf
of Danny Shelton and all of us
00:02:25.54\00:02:28.84
who are part of
this 3ABN family.
00:02:28.88\00:02:31.81
Now before we get into our topic
00:02:31.85\00:02:33.42
and before we
introduce to our guests,
00:02:33.45\00:02:35.22
we have some music
by one of our very own,
00:02:35.25\00:02:37.79
ET Everett is going to
play a song entitled "Redeemed".
00:02:37.82\00:02:41.99
Sit back and enjoy.
00:02:42.02\00:02:43.36
Thank you so much, ET,
for that song "Redeemed"
00:06:52.57\00:06:55.41
and that would be the
intent of this program.
00:06:55.44\00:06:58.58
"To redeem
someone from the control
00:06:58.61\00:07:01.88
that has taken over our world."
00:07:01.92\00:07:03.99
Let's meet our
guests at this time,
00:07:04.02\00:07:05.35
to my immediate right is Keith.
00:07:05.39\00:07:07.96
Say your last
name for me, Keith.
00:07:07.99\00:07:09.59
Detweiler. Detweiler.
00:07:09.62\00:07:10.96
Good to have you here.
It's nice to be here, John.
00:07:10.99\00:07:12.59
So glad to see you and
to get a chance to meet you
00:07:12.63\00:07:16.33
prior to the program,
00:07:16.36\00:07:17.73
and I know it's
gonna be exciting.
00:07:17.77\00:07:19.40
Just for brief for our audience
that's watching and listening,
00:07:19.43\00:07:22.44
just tell us what you
do and where you're from?
00:07:22.47\00:07:25.71
Well, right now
I'm from Collegedale,
00:07:25.74\00:07:27.31
Tennessee area.
00:07:27.34\00:07:28.78
I live in McDonald technically
00:07:28.81\00:07:30.31
but I work with
Little Light ministries.
00:07:30.35\00:07:32.58
I'm a speaker,
and I also do editing,
00:07:32.61\00:07:35.38
and so little bit of accounting,
00:07:35.42\00:07:37.05
and some shipping, and a
little bit of everything.
00:07:37.09\00:07:38.99
Okay. Well, good
to have you here.
00:07:39.02\00:07:40.36
We'll get more
specific in just a moment.
00:07:40.39\00:07:41.72
But, Scott Mayer,
00:07:41.76\00:07:43.83
founder of Little Light Studios.
00:07:43.86\00:07:47.00
Good to have
you here. Thank you.
00:07:47.03\00:07:48.36
Kind of give us
an overview of...
00:07:48.40\00:07:49.73
Thank you for having us.
00:07:49.76\00:07:51.23
You know, I've been
working with Little Light
00:07:51.27\00:07:53.67
since about 2008, 2009,
it's kind of when we started.
00:07:53.70\00:07:57.94
And the way that God place
this ministry in front of us,
00:07:57.97\00:08:04.15
it was never
something that I woke up one day
00:08:04.18\00:08:05.71
and said, "Hey, I
want to work in ministry
00:08:05.75\00:08:07.12
or I want to do this."
00:08:07.15\00:08:08.95
I just saw, you
know, God opening this door
00:08:08.98\00:08:11.15
and that door and I
always had an interest in video
00:08:11.19\00:08:13.76
and that's what
I took in college
00:08:13.79\00:08:15.69
So I took film classes
and ended up down in Hollywood
00:08:15.72\00:08:19.66
working in the film industry,
till God got a hold of my heart
00:08:19.69\00:08:22.73
and opened up the door for this,
00:08:22.76\00:08:24.10
so we started
working in full time ministry
00:08:24.13\00:08:26.00
in about 2009.
00:08:26.03\00:08:27.37
Wow, I'm so glad
00:08:27.40\00:08:28.74
that you've decided to
take on that challenge.
00:08:28.77\00:08:30.11
We'll talk about
how that happened
00:08:30.14\00:08:31.47
in the moment.
00:08:31.51\00:08:32.84
But, Danique, good
to have you here also.
00:08:32.87\00:08:34.21
Thank you. Glad to be here.
00:08:34.24\00:08:35.58
And I found out where
you were from originally
00:08:35.61\00:08:38.25
but tell our audience?
00:08:38.28\00:08:39.61
I am originally
from the Netherlands.
00:08:39.65\00:08:41.58
I'm actually half South African.
00:08:41.62\00:08:43.05
Okay.
00:08:43.08\00:08:44.42
But so I ended
up in United States,
00:08:44.45\00:08:45.79
felt like God was calling
me to do this kind of work.
00:08:45.82\00:08:48.39
And so I do, just
like Scott and Keith do,
00:08:48.42\00:08:51.06
pretty much everything,
editing, graphic design,
00:08:51.09\00:08:53.36
shooting, doing some
marketing recently social media,
00:08:53.40\00:08:57.83
it's mainly Keith and
I do that kind of stuff
00:08:57.87\00:08:59.63
so pretty much everything
that needs to be done.
00:08:59.67\00:09:02.24
Wow, a very excited team,
a very purpose-driven team,
00:09:02.27\00:09:06.27
and your work has been
appreciated by so many,
00:09:06.31\00:09:08.54
you've been able to
go to GYCs, and ASI,
00:09:08.58\00:09:11.75
and the General Conference,
00:09:11.78\00:09:13.45
those are events
that happened here
00:09:13.48\00:09:15.18
in the
Seventh-day Adventist church.
00:09:15.22\00:09:16.69
A GYC, a large youth movement,
beautiful spiritual movement.
00:09:16.72\00:09:20.29
ASI, Adventist
Service is in Laymen industry.
00:09:20.32\00:09:24.93
How to share God
in the marketplace
00:09:24.96\00:09:26.36
and General
Conference which is something
00:09:26.39\00:09:28.26
that happens
once every five years,
00:09:28.30\00:09:29.76
thousands and
thousands of people.
00:09:29.80\00:09:31.67
But your media has
really made it around the globe.
00:09:31.70\00:09:34.54
Just to kind of
dive into the program,
00:09:34.57\00:09:37.57
Scott, I want to ask you,
00:09:37.61\00:09:39.47
where did the
inspiration come from
00:09:39.51\00:09:41.68
to start Little Light Studios?
00:09:41.71\00:09:44.45
Well... And what is it?
00:09:44.48\00:09:46.08
Well, since my brother and I
00:09:46.11\00:09:49.05
and a childhood
best friend of mine,
00:09:49.08\00:09:50.82
we all took film
studies classes in college.
00:09:50.85\00:09:53.19
And my brother and I ended up
00:09:53.22\00:09:54.99
working in the
television industry
00:09:55.02\00:09:56.36
down in Los Angeles.
00:09:56.39\00:09:58.56
And we had some
pretty miraculous things
00:09:58.59\00:10:01.96
that God did to
really wake us up
00:10:02.00\00:10:04.27
and shake us up and, you know,
00:10:04.30\00:10:06.03
we were raised Adventist
but we kind of left the church
00:10:06.07\00:10:08.44
and had nothing to
do with Christianity.
00:10:08.47\00:10:10.47
And when we came
back into the church,
00:10:10.51\00:10:14.21
one of the first
things that was asked of us
00:10:14.24\00:10:17.01
was an old youth
pastor from our hometown said,
00:10:17.05\00:10:20.28
"Hey, why don't
you come and you know,
00:10:20.32\00:10:21.78
speak to the
youth about Hollywood,
00:10:21.82\00:10:23.92
they know you
work in the industry
00:10:23.95\00:10:25.52
and they, all kids
love movies these days,
00:10:25.55\00:10:28.06
so why don't you come
and maybe show a movie
00:10:28.09\00:10:29.62
and talk about God?"
00:10:29.66\00:10:30.99
So the first time that
00:10:31.03\00:10:32.36
that our
ministry ever started was,
00:10:32.39\00:10:34.30
we were going to,
you know, show a movie.
00:10:34.33\00:10:38.43
Take for
example, like, you know,
00:10:38.47\00:10:39.80
a Superman or Batman
or something like that,
00:10:39.83\00:10:41.87
and somehow equate
those characters to Jesus.
00:10:41.90\00:10:46.14
But we started
opening our Bibles.
00:10:46.17\00:10:47.51
We started praying God
what You want us to say.
00:10:47.54\00:10:49.34
We started looking
into where did movies
00:10:49.38\00:10:51.01
and TV come from,
00:10:51.05\00:10:52.38
and once we started really
asking for the Holy Spirit
00:10:52.41\00:10:55.92
to impress upon us,
what He wanted us to say,
00:10:55.95\00:10:59.39
we started
noticing that this movie
00:10:59.42\00:11:01.46
or that movie was
actually saying things
00:11:01.49\00:11:03.46
that were
opposite than the Bible.
00:11:03.49\00:11:05.73
So we did this presentation
00:11:05.76\00:11:08.06
and we never
intended a ministry to start
00:11:08.10\00:11:10.50
but it kind of blossomed
and we got asked to speak
00:11:10.53\00:11:12.93
all over the country
in different universities
00:11:12.97\00:11:15.20
and churches, and then
we started making videos
00:11:15.24\00:11:17.74
about some of the effects
00:11:17.77\00:11:19.17
that Hollywood
has on your brain.
00:11:19.21\00:11:21.14
And then our ministry
really kind of developed
00:11:21.18\00:11:23.18
into trying to talk
about relevant issues,
00:11:23.21\00:11:27.22
lot of things that
kids deal with these days,
00:11:27.25\00:11:29.08
and maybe there isn't a
lot of information on them.
00:11:29.12\00:11:31.59
So we're trying to
really open up the conversation
00:11:31.62\00:11:34.56
and aim people
back at the Bible.
00:11:34.59\00:11:36.89
What does the Bible say?
00:11:36.93\00:11:38.26
And the things then this world,
00:11:38.29\00:11:40.03
they're trying to
teach you opposite things so.
00:11:40.06\00:11:43.06
Wow, I tell you, it's been...
00:11:43.10\00:11:45.40
I've seen your product.
00:11:45.43\00:11:47.70
I've heard the name,
00:11:47.74\00:11:49.90
and I've heard
people talk about it,
00:11:49.94\00:11:51.94
young people in particular
talk about the product.
00:11:51.97\00:11:54.74
And some people have said,
"You've got to see this DVD,
00:11:54.78\00:11:57.98
we got to see
this presentation."
00:11:58.01\00:12:00.08
Praise God.
00:12:00.12\00:12:01.45
And praise the Lord for that
00:12:01.48\00:12:02.82
because what
happens is the society
00:12:02.85\00:12:04.19
in which we live today is
not coincidentally designed,
00:12:04.22\00:12:08.16
but it's intentionally designed.
00:12:08.19\00:12:09.52
Correct.
00:12:09.56\00:12:10.89
Keith, talk about that I
mean, we look at the media today
00:12:10.93\00:12:13.96
and since Scott and
Danique and you are all
00:12:14.00\00:12:17.13
collectively
together in a market to say,
00:12:17.17\00:12:20.77
"Open your eyes, wake up.
00:12:20.80\00:12:22.64
This is what's happening."
00:12:22.67\00:12:24.01
What impact have
you seen media have on,
00:12:24.04\00:12:28.11
not just the minds of the
young but society in general?
00:12:28.14\00:12:30.45
Oh, well.
00:12:30.48\00:12:31.81
You know, it's
really interesting
00:12:31.85\00:12:33.18
I was just surveying
some of the Super Bowl
00:12:33.21\00:12:34.82
commercials recently and saying,
00:12:34.85\00:12:36.69
"You know what,
what are these about?"
00:12:36.72\00:12:38.15
And there were two that
were very striking to me.
00:12:38.19\00:12:40.76
One was a commercial
00:12:40.79\00:12:42.12
for a alcoholic
beverage company, I won't name,
00:12:42.16\00:12:44.86
but they had an
immigration theme
00:12:44.89\00:12:47.86
to their commercial.
00:12:47.90\00:12:49.23
And the other one was by
Airbnb and they were talking
00:12:49.26\00:12:52.07
about how they
accept every religion,
00:12:52.10\00:12:54.27
every kind of
ethnicity, every kind of person.
00:12:54.30\00:12:56.74
And if you think
about what our country
00:12:56.77\00:12:58.11
is going through right now,
00:12:58.14\00:12:59.87
the "Muslim Ban", you
know, that's a very hot topic.
00:12:59.91\00:13:03.58
And here these companies
used the largest commercial
00:13:03.61\00:13:08.25
viewing audience on
the face of the planet
00:13:08.28\00:13:10.62
to put a message
out in front of people,
00:13:10.65\00:13:12.69
that they don't agree
with some of the things
00:13:12.72\00:13:14.46
that were going
on in the government
00:13:14.49\00:13:15.82
so I mean, they know it works
00:13:15.86\00:13:17.53
otherwise they wouldn't
be choosing that platform
00:13:17.56\00:13:20.20
to put that message out there.
00:13:20.23\00:13:22.50
Wow, that's true.
00:13:22.53\00:13:23.87
So they use
these little snippets
00:13:23.90\00:13:25.23
and these are
not long commercials.
00:13:25.27\00:13:26.60
You know, years
ago my wife and I
00:13:26.63\00:13:27.97
worked for an
advertising company in New York.
00:13:28.00\00:13:30.91
And they dealt with
advertising for Coca-Cola
00:13:30.94\00:13:33.84
and they noticed around
the Super Bowl on major events,
00:13:33.88\00:13:36.41
World Series, NBA Finals,
00:13:36.44\00:13:38.51
a lot of these sporting events,
00:13:38.55\00:13:40.88
that people were willing
to pay millions of dollars
00:13:40.92\00:13:44.19
for 15 seconds, 20 seconds,
30 seconds was considered like,
00:13:44.22\00:13:48.26
if you could pay for 30
seconds you got deep pockets.
00:13:48.29\00:13:50.96
And so we talk about
some of these commercials,
00:13:50.99\00:13:52.46
because and they...
00:13:52.49\00:13:53.83
Let me ask another
question, I'll ask Danique,
00:13:53.86\00:13:56.50
or anyone of you
could answer this question.
00:13:56.53\00:13:58.63
Do you think that
the, in being in Hollywood,
00:13:58.67\00:14:01.84
do you think that
the Hollywood industry
00:14:01.87\00:14:03.61
studies the human mind?
00:14:03.64\00:14:06.47
I think for sure in
today's technology I mean,
00:14:06.51\00:14:09.48
they're starting
to test every film
00:14:09.51\00:14:13.21
that's coming out of various
different media productions
00:14:13.25\00:14:16.58
with putting
people in FMRI machines.
00:14:16.62\00:14:18.79
I mean, this is
like medical imagery
00:14:18.82\00:14:20.46
that looks at what parts
of the brain are activated
00:14:20.49\00:14:23.32
when you're viewing
whatever pieces of media.
00:14:23.36\00:14:25.49
I mean, there's
major Hollywood movies
00:14:25.53\00:14:27.13
like the James
Cameron film "Avatar",
00:14:27.16\00:14:30.70
I mean, they
did a lot of testing
00:14:30.73\00:14:32.07
with FMRI's when
that film came out.
00:14:32.10\00:14:34.44
So they know that...
00:14:34.47\00:14:36.00
FMRI's here so
that's an acronym for?
00:14:36.04\00:14:38.91
For functional MRI,
so what it's studying is
00:14:38.94\00:14:41.74
that in the hemoglobin
in your blood is iron-rich,
00:14:41.78\00:14:46.18
so it's tracking and
it's basically a big magnet
00:14:46.21\00:14:49.12
that's tracking
what parts of the brain
00:14:49.15\00:14:50.95
are using the
most amounts of blood.
00:14:50.99\00:14:53.02
So they can see
if you're, you know,
00:14:53.05\00:14:56.02
scared in a movie
which part of your brain
00:14:56.06\00:14:58.39
that is dealing with fear,
so your medulla and, you know,
00:14:58.43\00:15:03.57
your
fight-or-flight system and...
00:15:03.60\00:15:05.30
Limbic system.
..Yeah limbic system.
00:15:05.33\00:15:07.04
So what they'll do is
they will tailor the movie
00:15:07.07\00:15:09.17
to give you the
maximum amount of effect
00:15:09.20\00:15:11.47
that it has upon you
00:15:11.51\00:15:12.84
because the more
gradate emotional response
00:15:12.87\00:15:15.21
that you have, the
more money they make
00:15:15.24\00:15:17.28
because you want
to go and see it.
00:15:17.31\00:15:18.65
So that's why, you know,
00:15:18.68\00:15:20.02
commercials
during the Super Bowl
00:15:20.05\00:15:21.38
are 5 million dollars
for 30 seconds because
00:15:21.42\00:15:23.49
everyone is in a
heightened state of emotion,
00:15:23.52\00:15:26.02
and those commercials
affect you differently
00:15:26.05\00:15:29.09
in that state of emotion.
00:15:29.12\00:15:30.83
So I'm sure Hollywood
knows a lot about that the way
00:15:30.86\00:15:35.26
the mind works
and the technology
00:15:35.30\00:15:36.70
and they're using
it to their advantage
00:15:36.73\00:15:38.13
to sell their messages to you.
00:15:38.17\00:15:40.20
And we've actually
done quite a bit of research
00:15:40.24\00:15:42.20
about this how
media affects your brain
00:15:42.24\00:15:44.87
in one of our documentaries
"Pseudology, The Art of Lying".
00:15:44.91\00:15:48.98
And I think we
watched this one...
00:15:49.01\00:15:50.41
The Art of
Lying? The Art of Lying.
00:15:50.45\00:15:51.88
That's right. Okay.
00:15:51.91\00:15:53.25
I watched this one before
I ever joined Little Light.
00:15:53.28\00:15:55.45
And by that time I
think I was like 17 maybe.
00:15:55.48\00:15:59.52
And I already decided, no,
I don't think I really watch
00:15:59.55\00:16:01.79
that much stuff anymore
00:16:01.82\00:16:03.16
because it's kind
of a waste of time,
00:16:03.19\00:16:04.89
but that really convicted me
00:16:04.93\00:16:06.26
the way the media influences
your brain, the frontal lobe
00:16:06.29\00:16:09.76
which is the part of your brain
00:16:09.80\00:16:11.67
used to make
decisions, your moralities,
00:16:11.70\00:16:14.24
your spirituality, so use
that to choose to worship God
00:16:14.27\00:16:17.61
and say, I'm
gonna follow the Lord.
00:16:17.64\00:16:19.47
And what happens is
00:16:19.51\00:16:20.84
when you watch these
television, and movies,
00:16:20.88\00:16:24.41
and entertainment, the
shots change so frequently
00:16:24.45\00:16:27.42
your brain can't
handle it because it's like,
00:16:27.45\00:16:29.22
this is not natural to me
00:16:29.25\00:16:30.59
and you go right into
what they call an alpha state
00:16:30.62\00:16:33.59
which is a slower
brain wave pattern
00:16:33.62\00:16:35.96
instead of the beta
which is very fast paced,
00:16:35.99\00:16:38.03
which is what
we're doing right now.
00:16:38.06\00:16:39.39
We're critically analyzing
00:16:39.43\00:16:41.16
what we're
seeing and everything.
00:16:41.20\00:16:43.47
And alpha state is nothing else
00:16:43.50\00:16:45.60
than just a
highly suggestible state
00:16:45.63\00:16:47.64
or also a state of
trance, hypnotherapist
00:16:47.67\00:16:50.34
trying to get you
into an alpha state
00:16:50.37\00:16:51.97
'cause they know then
they can reach the subconscious
00:16:52.01\00:16:54.91
and preach to you
whatever they want
00:16:54.94\00:16:57.48
and you can't reject it.
00:16:57.51\00:16:59.91
Doctor Neil
Nedley, he talks about this
00:16:59.95\00:17:01.65
in our documentary he says,
00:17:01.68\00:17:03.02
"You can't reject the message.
00:17:03.05\00:17:04.39
It goes right into your brain
00:17:04.42\00:17:05.85
and it changes your
character, right there."
00:17:05.89\00:17:07.96
And even music, let
me ask you a question
00:17:07.99\00:17:09.82
but they even
choose the kind of music
00:17:09.86\00:17:11.43
because what happens is
the music opens a gateway
00:17:11.46\00:17:14.50
to allow the
information to be poured in.
00:17:14.53\00:17:16.56
Yeah.
00:17:16.60\00:17:17.93
And music is a powerful tool.
00:17:17.97\00:17:19.40
I mean, you think about
00:17:19.43\00:17:20.77
why did Moses teach
the children of Israel
00:17:20.80\00:17:22.67
to sing the Ten
Commandments to song?
00:17:22.70\00:17:25.07
Why do you learn
the ABC's to a song?
00:17:25.11\00:17:27.94
Because when you associate
a certain piece of information
00:17:27.98\00:17:31.41
with the music, it seals
it into your mind and you,
00:17:31.45\00:17:34.78
there's no delete button.
00:17:34.82\00:17:36.28
I mean, you know, I'm sure
anyone that ever spent time
00:17:36.32\00:17:39.69
listening to worldly music,
00:17:39.72\00:17:41.42
and you've walked
into a grocery store,
00:17:41.46\00:17:43.16
you've been in a
building where all of a sudden
00:17:43.19\00:17:45.13
they play that
song that you remember
00:17:45.16\00:17:46.83
when you were in high school,
00:17:46.86\00:17:48.26
your mind goes right back
to where that song was played
00:17:48.30\00:17:51.70
because there's
no delete button,
00:17:51.73\00:17:53.13
you cannot get rid of
that out of your brain.
00:17:53.17\00:17:56.00
And so when they
associate those particular words
00:17:56.04\00:17:58.41
or those themes with
that, it's just one more way
00:17:58.44\00:18:02.01
of like impacting our
brains that much more.
00:18:02.04\00:18:04.61
And you have some samples,
00:18:04.65\00:18:05.98
you've brought some
clips with you today.
00:18:06.01\00:18:07.62
But I like you to
set up that first one
00:18:07.65\00:18:09.12
that we're going to
see, and give us an idea
00:18:09.15\00:18:11.79
because these are a
compilation of different clips.
00:18:11.82\00:18:16.02
Talk about that?
00:18:16.06\00:18:17.46
So the clip that you're
just about ready to see here,
00:18:17.49\00:18:20.33
it really is kind of a sample
00:18:20.36\00:18:22.56
of a lot of different
mainstream Hollywood movies.
00:18:22.60\00:18:26.03
You know, some people think
that Hollywood is just fake,
00:18:26.07\00:18:29.60
it's make-believe, it
doesn't have any profound effect
00:18:29.64\00:18:32.01
upon your spiritual life.
00:18:32.04\00:18:33.38
But yet, in a
lot of these movies,
00:18:33.41\00:18:34.74
they're discussing
very spiritual topics,
00:18:34.78\00:18:37.35
and you'll hear, you know,
God's name thrown out there.
00:18:37.38\00:18:41.48
You'll hear some of the things
00:18:41.52\00:18:42.92
that you've heard in your Bible,
00:18:42.95\00:18:44.69
but most often it is
00:18:44.72\00:18:46.45
from sort of a
negative perspective of God...
00:18:46.49\00:18:48.96
Or a coulter.
00:18:48.99\00:18:50.33
Or the coulter, yeah.
00:18:50.36\00:18:51.69
And so this will just give
you a little bit of a sample
00:18:51.73\00:18:54.50
of what some of the mainstream
Hollywood films are discussing.
00:18:54.53\00:18:59.03
I'd like to issue a disclaimer
00:18:59.07\00:19:00.54
about what you're
just about to watch,
00:19:00.57\00:19:02.50
these are in fact
clips from existing movies.
00:19:02.54\00:19:06.04
If you're not
comfortable with your children
00:19:06.07\00:19:07.74
watching these movies or
any kind of entertainment,
00:19:07.78\00:19:10.81
this might be the portion
that you would like to exclude.
00:19:10.85\00:19:14.02
But it is not graphic
00:19:14.05\00:19:15.78
and it is considered
something informative
00:19:15.82\00:19:19.15
for you to understand.
00:19:19.19\00:19:20.69
Here they are.
00:19:20.72\00:19:22.06
I've been called many
things over many lifetimes.
00:19:25.86\00:19:31.00
Ram, Krishna, Yahweh.
00:19:31.03\00:19:33.97
God is tribal. God takes sides.
00:19:38.61\00:19:41.54
No man in the sky intervened
when I was a boy to deliver me
00:19:41.58\00:19:43.85
from Daddy's
fist and abominations.
00:19:43.88\00:19:45.41
I figured it out way
back, if God is all-powerful,
00:19:49.98\00:19:53.66
He cannot be all-good.
00:19:53.69\00:19:55.02
You are a king.
00:20:01.20\00:20:02.66
You lived in a cloud city
00:20:02.70\00:20:04.40
but evil forces
came and cast you out.
00:20:04.43\00:20:07.87
I consider the possibility
that God does not like you.
00:20:07.90\00:20:11.04
He never wanted you.
00:20:11.07\00:20:12.51
In all probability He hates you.
00:20:12.54\00:20:14.78
It's not the worst
thing that can happen.
00:20:14.81\00:20:16.18
It isn't? We don't need him.
00:20:16.21\00:20:18.45
We don't. I agree.
00:20:18.48\00:20:19.81
We are God's
unwanted children, so be it.
00:20:19.85\00:20:23.79
All around you
are spirits, child.
00:20:23.82\00:20:29.12
I, Odin Allfather, cast you out!
00:20:29.16\00:20:31.76
I always like to think of it as,
00:20:36.87\00:20:38.20
I got him sitting there
with the little message at them,
00:20:38.23\00:20:41.00
with the little moral at them,
00:20:41.04\00:20:42.47
with the little of
what my view of the world is
00:20:42.50\00:20:44.77
because that's what
every good film maker does.
00:20:44.81\00:20:47.48
And this was a
story about Christ.
00:20:53.58\00:20:55.95
It's all about sacrifice,
00:20:55.98\00:20:57.72
the world like hear their cries.
00:20:57.75\00:20:59.89
So what happens?
00:20:59.92\00:21:01.26
He gets the knife on his side
and later he falls to the earth
00:21:01.29\00:21:04.46
in the shape of crucifix.
00:21:04.49\00:21:06.03
You might save a man, I
want personal Jesus Christ.
00:21:11.97\00:21:18.34
It's very, very destructive
00:21:18.37\00:21:20.81
in pretty much
every facet of life.
00:21:20.84\00:21:23.35
Wherever this being was
he always had four followers.
00:21:23.38\00:21:26.48
He would imbue with power.
00:21:26.51\00:21:28.58
Like the Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
00:21:28.62\00:21:30.32
He got that one from the Bible.
00:21:30.35\00:21:31.72
Or the Bible got it from him.
00:21:31.75\00:21:33.49
You will never see anyone
argue with their television set,
00:21:33.52\00:21:36.86
when entertainment
television is going up.
00:21:36.89\00:21:38.96
They're not going
to argue with the set
00:21:38.99\00:21:40.70
'cause they
don't have the ability.
00:21:40.73\00:21:42.20
Wow.
00:22:09.72\00:22:11.06
Tell us what we just saw.
00:22:11.09\00:22:13.66
You saw a compilation
of a lot of different films
00:22:13.70\00:22:17.67
that were either mentioning
the concept of there is a God
00:22:17.70\00:22:22.37
but he's actually
evil and we don't need him.
00:22:22.40\00:22:26.04
And, you know, they
like in the video game,
00:22:26.07\00:22:30.08
little section
that you saw it there,
00:22:30.11\00:22:31.61
they said that it was actually
the king that was cast out.
00:22:31.65\00:22:35.18
And so they're
kind of taking the ideas
00:22:35.22\00:22:37.52
that are taught in the Bible
00:22:37.55\00:22:38.89
and flipping them upside down.
00:22:38.92\00:22:40.96
What many
people don't realize is
00:22:40.99\00:22:43.53
how your brain works just
like what Dr. Neil Nedley said,
00:22:43.56\00:22:47.86
"You don't have the ability
to stand up in the middle
00:22:47.90\00:22:50.63
of a movie and argue with it
00:22:50.67\00:22:52.23
because your mind is
taking in all of these things,
00:22:52.27\00:22:54.97
and so what happens is
they just soak into your brain,
00:22:55.00\00:22:58.54
and then they sit in there
and you wonder why, you know,
00:22:58.57\00:23:03.11
kids leave the
churches and by the hundreds
00:23:03.14\00:23:06.58
and thousands, and then
many of them don't come back,
00:23:06.61\00:23:09.68
and many of them are, you know,
immersed in this digital age."
00:23:09.72\00:23:13.56
So that was kind of
just a sample of that,
00:23:13.59\00:23:15.76
a lot of our documentaries
00:23:15.79\00:23:17.43
really pick apart some
of these modern mediums
00:23:17.46\00:23:19.93
and show you point-by-point,
00:23:19.96\00:23:23.30
this is what the Bible says,
00:23:23.33\00:23:24.80
this is what this
movie is teaching you,
00:23:24.83\00:23:26.70
and a lot of times they
are two opposite things.
00:23:26.74\00:23:29.30
Anything else? Keith, Danique?
00:23:29.34\00:23:31.27
What I think is interesting
is what is it that altered,
00:23:31.31\00:23:35.54
called again that the
whole video with Baby Einstein,
00:23:35.58\00:23:40.05
the whole presentation of Ted...
00:23:40.08\00:23:41.45
Dimitri Christakis. Yes.
00:23:41.48\00:23:43.18
So we interviewed him actually
00:23:43.22\00:23:45.12
in our
documentary of pseudology.
00:23:45.15\00:23:47.26
And he talks of Baby
Einstein which is a program
00:23:47.29\00:23:50.16
for toddlers or something.
00:23:50.19\00:23:51.96
And he talks about
this baby on the farm,
00:23:51.99\00:23:55.60
when you see all these
shots they're so freaking,
00:23:55.63\00:23:58.50
and they're in your
face and then he talks about
00:23:58.53\00:24:00.77
"Well, what if a kid
goes to the normal farm
00:24:00.80\00:24:03.94
because this is a show in
which they're at the farm.
00:24:03.97\00:24:06.91
Kid goes to a normal
farm and he gets bored,
00:24:06.94\00:24:09.48
because he's like
why there is no sheep
00:24:09.51\00:24:10.85
popping into my face?
00:24:10.88\00:24:12.21
Why is this not happening?
Why is that not happening?
00:24:12.25\00:24:14.22
And isn't that the
same way with our Bibles.
00:24:14.25\00:24:17.49
All this stuff is popping
your face, it's violence,
00:24:17.52\00:24:20.42
it's this, it's that,
and then you have your Bible
00:24:20.46\00:24:22.62
and it's like people are
like, "Oh, it's just some pages.
00:24:22.66\00:24:25.59
It's not interesting."
00:24:25.63\00:24:26.96
That's, I feel like
that's what's happening to you
00:24:27.00\00:24:28.96
when you watch
this kind of stuff,
00:24:29.00\00:24:31.93
it's just not interest
to you anymore, you know.
00:24:31.97\00:24:34.44
That's true.
00:24:34.47\00:24:35.80
If you think about what a movie
and what the Bible are doing,
00:24:35.84\00:24:39.34
they're both
feeding you information.
00:24:39.37\00:24:40.94
That's right.
00:24:40.98\00:24:42.31
They're both feeding
information about a world view,
00:24:42.34\00:24:44.18
your place in humanity.
00:24:44.21\00:24:46.45
I mean, they are...
00:24:46.48\00:24:48.78
they have a lot more
flashy tools, and, you know,
00:24:48.82\00:24:51.49
their ways are using all
manners of dazzle to get us
00:24:51.52\00:24:57.36
interested in their
content, but, you know,
00:24:57.39\00:24:59.39
when you read the
Bible, it's the Holy Spirit
00:24:59.43\00:25:01.86
that pieces together all
these things in our imagination.
00:25:01.90\00:25:05.30
And I think like
what Danique said,
00:25:05.33\00:25:07.44
one of the default problems
that a lot of entertainment
00:25:07.47\00:25:10.44
does is it robs us of
this beautiful imagination
00:25:10.47\00:25:13.17
that we have, so
that when we do sit down
00:25:13.21\00:25:15.74
and want to dive into the Bible,
00:25:15.78\00:25:19.18
you often hear it's boring.
00:25:19.21\00:25:20.78
It's not as exciting as
this movie or that movie.
00:25:20.82\00:25:23.12
And, you know, so I
think some of these things
00:25:23.15\00:25:25.59
are just naturally addicting
us to that form of information
00:25:25.62\00:25:31.33
and we're losing our
desire for the truth.
00:25:31.36\00:25:34.33
Even the medium
that's communicating
00:25:34.36\00:25:36.63
the information
because the key is,
00:25:36.67\00:25:38.67
if I can get the
information fast,
00:25:38.70\00:25:40.30
the point I want also emphasize
you meant, you mentioned, was
00:25:40.34\00:25:44.01
that the images
change so rapidly
00:25:44.04\00:25:46.61
that the mind doesn't
get a chance to analyze it...
00:25:46.64\00:25:50.11
So its just
recording it, it's recording it
00:25:50.15\00:25:52.15
because we all often
look at something to say,
00:25:52.18\00:25:53.98
well, do I need that?
00:25:54.02\00:25:55.35
Do I want that?
How much does it cost?
00:25:55.38\00:25:56.89
What is it all about?
00:25:56.92\00:25:58.25
Our mind, our frontal
lobes or whatever system,
00:25:58.29\00:26:01.16
limbic system, I'm
surely not a doctor.
00:26:01.19\00:26:04.03
But our reasoning powers
are not allowed to grab it
00:26:04.06\00:26:07.43
and hold on to it because
while we're holding on to it,
00:26:07.46\00:26:10.90
something else
comes along we grab that
00:26:10.93\00:26:12.47
and something else comes along
00:26:12.50\00:26:13.84
and in 30 seconds
you could sit there...
00:26:13.87\00:26:16.50
Yeah. Zoned out.
00:26:16.54\00:26:17.87
And when the
commercial is done, it's like,
00:26:17.91\00:26:20.21
your body has just
gone through a trauma
00:26:20.24\00:26:22.68
and you can't do
anything about it.
00:26:22.71\00:26:24.68
Keith?
00:26:24.71\00:26:26.05
One thing that's
really striking to me,
00:26:26.08\00:26:27.42
well, there's a
couple of things.
00:26:27.45\00:26:28.78
One is the, the Gnostic themes
that are presented to you.
00:26:28.82\00:26:31.79
A few years ago
there was a movie
00:26:31.82\00:26:33.15
called "Man of
Steel" it's about Superman.
00:26:33.19\00:26:34.66
Man of Steel.
00:26:34.69\00:26:36.02
..A popular
comic book character.
00:26:36.06\00:26:37.39
And in that film they
really built up the similarities
00:26:37.43\00:26:41.40
to how much he was like Jesus.
00:26:41.43\00:26:43.40
The news media
reported about it,
00:26:43.43\00:26:45.43
you could even go online
at one point, I saved the PDF.
00:26:45.47\00:26:48.64
And download sermon
notes, so that you could present
00:26:48.67\00:26:52.27
the different
facets of this movie,
00:26:52.31\00:26:54.44
comparing the two characters.
00:26:54.48\00:26:56.44
And they provided you
with media clips, and things
00:26:56.48\00:26:59.58
so that you could see
how Jesus is like Superman.
00:26:59.61\00:27:03.79
Well, if you followed
the lineage of that movie,
00:27:03.82\00:27:07.72
in the next one
they took the character
00:27:07.76\00:27:10.26
and they tore him down.
00:27:10.29\00:27:12.09
And so Superman was this guy
who was at odds with society,
00:27:12.13\00:27:15.56
and not as well-liked
00:27:15.60\00:27:17.07
and you could
even see in the trailer
00:27:17.10\00:27:18.43
how they would
call him a false God
00:27:18.47\00:27:19.80
and things like this.
00:27:19.83\00:27:21.17
And so what does that
do to a person in the mind?
00:27:21.20\00:27:23.10
What does it do
to their perception?
00:27:23.14\00:27:24.57
Because you're taking
the two and associating them,
00:27:24.61\00:27:27.71
and then you're destroying
that association, you know.
00:27:27.74\00:27:30.85
And so it's
like well, what am I,
00:27:30.88\00:27:32.48
what seed is being planted
for me to think about Christ,
00:27:32.51\00:27:35.58
you know.
00:27:35.62\00:27:36.95
The other thing that
was very striking to me is
00:27:36.99\00:27:39.62
how violent things are getting.
00:27:39.65\00:27:41.72
There is a movie
called "Deadpool"
00:27:41.76\00:27:44.29
that was released recently.
00:27:44.33\00:27:45.66
It's about another
comic book character.
00:27:45.69\00:27:47.30
Very violent movie.
00:27:47.33\00:27:49.46
It was so violent they
had to give it a rated R
00:27:49.50\00:27:51.80
rating which is very
rare for a comic book movie
00:27:51.83\00:27:54.07
because they want those
13 year olds to be able to go
00:27:54.10\00:27:56.97
and watch, and you know,
00:27:57.01\00:27:58.47
their parents to go
with them and things,
00:27:58.51\00:28:00.04
they want to make it
more of a family type event,
00:28:00.08\00:28:01.58
but this one wasn't that way.
00:28:01.61\00:28:03.65
And it exploded,
it was very popular.
00:28:03.68\00:28:07.15
It did very well financially.
00:28:07.18\00:28:09.82
And so what it did is it opened
the door for Hollywood to say,
00:28:09.85\00:28:12.52
well, if it worked, now
we can push the envelope
00:28:12.55\00:28:15.82
with more movies and
give it that rated R rating
00:28:15.86\00:28:19.19
because we know
that the audience
00:28:19.23\00:28:20.56
is accepting of
it, they want it,
00:28:20.60\00:28:22.26
they desire that violent
image to be put in front of them
00:28:22.30\00:28:26.43
and they'll pay to see it.
00:28:26.47\00:28:28.04
Well, and that's
the seduction of it.
00:28:28.07\00:28:31.77
Push the envelope, but let's see
00:28:31.81\00:28:33.58
what kind of reaction we get
00:28:33.61\00:28:34.94
and if the
reaction is favorable,
00:28:34.98\00:28:36.85
"Hey, let's keep
pushing the envelope."
00:28:36.88\00:28:39.05
The thing that you talked about
00:28:39.08\00:28:40.42
Superman and
Jesus being compared,
00:28:40.45\00:28:41.78
when the Bible says,
there is none like me...
00:28:41.82\00:28:43.39
Okay.
00:28:43.42\00:28:44.75
And so but now you
take a finite image
00:28:44.79\00:28:47.72
that doesn't really
exist, a fictitious character
00:28:47.76\00:28:51.13
in comparison to the Christ...
00:28:51.16\00:28:53.36
Yeah.
00:28:53.40\00:28:54.73
..who is true and
real, and doesn't change.
00:28:54.76\00:28:56.67
And then in the next movie
you have that character changed
00:28:56.70\00:28:59.03
which in fact he
can't be like Christ,
00:28:59.07\00:29:00.64
'cause Christ never changes
and then you tear him down,
00:29:00.67\00:29:03.74
and that stains
the image in the mind.
00:29:03.77\00:29:06.24
Even let me go to some
other themes and tell me
00:29:06.27\00:29:08.14
what you think about this,
00:29:08.18\00:29:09.51
and maybe you've
looked in this area.
00:29:09.54\00:29:11.11
Even the formation of doctrinal
beliefs like the second coming,
00:29:11.15\00:29:15.88
the movies like
The Secret Rapture
00:29:15.92\00:29:17.85
distorts that,
that's how Satan has taken
00:29:17.89\00:29:19.89
on the religious theme
and completely, you know,
00:29:19.92\00:29:23.32
fought against the
Bible truth on that topic.
00:29:23.36\00:29:25.73
The other one, Noah's Ark.
00:29:25.76\00:29:27.83
Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:27.86\00:29:29.73
You know, somebody that
saw, I never went to see it
00:29:29.76\00:29:31.53
after somebody told
me about it, I said,
00:29:31.57\00:29:33.00
"I don't want to
see that garbage.
00:29:33.03\00:29:34.37
That's not Noah's Ark." Yeah.
00:29:34.40\00:29:35.74
Yeah. You know.
00:29:35.77\00:29:37.11
So an interesting thing
about Noah's ark, you know,
00:29:37.14\00:29:39.44
on their actual
webpage for that film,
00:29:39.47\00:29:41.74
they said that they
stayed true to the integrity
00:29:41.78\00:29:44.48
of the biblical story
that is a pillar of the Bible.
00:29:44.51\00:29:48.25
I mean, this was on
their actual website,
00:29:48.28\00:29:50.75
on the front page.
00:29:50.79\00:29:52.22
And what's interesting is like
00:29:52.25\00:29:54.19
and there's a scene in there
when Noah is telling his kids
00:29:54.22\00:29:57.36
about the creation of the world.
00:29:57.39\00:30:00.06
And what you hear is you hear
Noah tell the creation story.
00:30:00.10\00:30:03.57
So he says, "You know,
00:30:03.60\00:30:04.93
God created the different
animals and the plants,
00:30:04.97\00:30:07.67
and this on that day."
00:30:07.70\00:30:09.04
But what they
visually show you is
00:30:09.07\00:30:11.31
one cell splits into two cells
00:30:11.34\00:30:13.14
which turns into a
fish which grows feet,
00:30:13.17\00:30:15.38
which walks out on the land,
which then turns into a monkey,
00:30:15.41\00:30:18.88
and then the next thing
you see is Adam and Eve.
00:30:18.91\00:30:21.45
So they visually showed
you the story of evolution,
00:30:21.48\00:30:26.82
but they verbally told
you the story of creation,
00:30:26.86\00:30:29.22
which means if your
mind is not able to sit
00:30:29.26\00:30:32.13
and decipher that
information as it's going in...
00:30:32.16\00:30:35.76
Those two get married together,
00:30:35.80\00:30:37.13
they go into your mind
00:30:37.17\00:30:38.50
and then what
happens in our church,
00:30:38.53\00:30:39.87
you know, there's
many conversations today
00:30:39.90\00:30:43.57
about maybe God really
didn't create the world
00:30:43.61\00:30:46.44
in six literal days
and you know, seven days.
00:30:46.47\00:30:49.44
And so it's interesting
that they're putting this idea
00:30:49.48\00:30:53.98
that this is a
Christian kind of based movie,
00:30:54.02\00:30:56.38
but yet it's full of
things that are erroneous.
00:30:56.42\00:31:00.06
I know and even in
some religious circles,
00:31:00.09\00:31:02.09
not naming any
denominational leaders,
00:31:02.12\00:31:04.13
have opened the door.
00:31:04.16\00:31:05.49
Well, it's possible
that evolution and creation
00:31:05.53\00:31:07.00
could merge
together in certain areas.
00:31:07.03\00:31:10.47
The Ten Commandments
into the new version,
00:31:10.50\00:31:12.83
people are more likely today
00:31:12.87\00:31:14.24
and I've seen the
impact of the movie industry,
00:31:14.27\00:31:16.91
they are becoming more
likely today to determine
00:31:16.94\00:31:19.14
what they believe
based on the movie,
00:31:19.17\00:31:22.04
rather than the
study of God's Word.
00:31:22.08\00:31:24.18
And I think
that's what Little Light
00:31:24.21\00:31:25.55
is trying to reverse.
00:31:25.58\00:31:26.92
That's right.
00:31:26.95\00:31:28.28
Talk about that little bit more?
00:31:28.32\00:31:29.65
So what we really try to do
with all of our productions is
00:31:29.68\00:31:32.05
we try to aim
people back at the Bible.
00:31:32.09\00:31:34.66
You know, it's the only way
00:31:34.69\00:31:37.23
that you can tell a counterfeit
is to study the genuine.
00:31:37.26\00:31:39.46
That's right.
00:31:39.49\00:31:40.83
The genuine is
going to be able to
00:31:40.86\00:31:43.57
instill the truth inside of you.
00:31:43.60\00:31:45.23
You cannot just study this movie
00:31:45.27\00:31:46.77
and that movie and
then try to piece together
00:31:46.80\00:31:48.80
because there's so
many different ideas,
00:31:48.84\00:31:51.91
there's so many different people
00:31:51.94\00:31:53.27
that write those stories.
00:31:53.31\00:31:54.64
And, you know,
00:31:54.68\00:31:56.01
especially some of the ones
that claim they're Christian,
00:31:56.04\00:31:58.11
I mean, you have to
consider the possibility that
00:31:58.15\00:32:00.72
if they are not
sold-out to the message,
00:32:00.75\00:32:03.69
and they are not dedicated,
consecrated Christians,
00:32:03.72\00:32:07.36
then we know that the
devil can suggest starts to us,
00:32:07.39\00:32:10.13
so they may think,
00:32:10.16\00:32:11.49
"Hey, I came up with this
great idea for this movie.
00:32:11.53\00:32:13.03
It's artistic and
understanding of the story,
00:32:13.06\00:32:16.40
but they don't realize
00:32:16.43\00:32:17.77
who is suggesting
that story to you.
00:32:17.80\00:32:19.33
And then audiences go
and they sit and watch those
00:32:19.37\00:32:21.60
and soak those thoughts.
00:32:21.64\00:32:22.97
And so we really
want our young people,
00:32:23.00\00:32:26.37
you know, we used to
be the people of the book.
00:32:26.41\00:32:28.01
Right? That's right.
00:32:28.04\00:32:29.38
Then get back in the Bible
because this is the guideline
00:32:29.41\00:32:32.95
that will keep
us connected to God.
00:32:32.98\00:32:35.85
And, you know,
just because, you know,
00:32:35.88\00:32:38.92
you started a movie doesn't
necessarily make it evil,
00:32:38.95\00:32:43.69
I want to say that.
00:32:43.73\00:32:45.06
I want to say a disclaimer that
00:32:45.09\00:32:46.43
media can be used
to share the gospel.
00:32:46.46\00:32:49.16
I mean, look at
what 3ABN is doing.
00:32:49.20\00:32:50.70
Look at what we do.
00:32:50.73\00:32:52.23
I mean, all we do, all day long,
00:32:52.27\00:32:53.67
is create media productions.
00:32:53.70\00:32:55.20
That's right.
00:32:55.24\00:32:56.57
But I think at
the end of the day,
00:32:56.60\00:32:58.81
we would rather, you know,
00:32:58.84\00:33:00.61
go to the Bible to
get your information.
00:33:00.64\00:33:03.55
Don't just accept it
because you saw in the film.
00:33:03.58\00:33:06.41
I want you to
set up this next clip
00:33:06.45\00:33:07.78
that we're gonna look at
00:33:07.82\00:33:09.15
because what we're
talking about here,
00:33:09.18\00:33:10.52
and what you're
hearing us say is in fact,
00:33:10.55\00:33:13.76
people are losing their
desire to become gold-diggers.
00:33:13.79\00:33:17.89
And let me just emphasize that,
00:33:17.93\00:33:20.13
I live in
California where there are
00:33:20.16\00:33:21.63
people did panning,
they did gold-digging,
00:33:21.66\00:33:23.67
you know, a lot
of people go to Utah
00:33:23.70\00:33:25.33
and Colorado and out,
you know, Yellowstone,
00:33:25.37\00:33:28.74
they do panning
and gold-digging.
00:33:28.77\00:33:30.51
And it's an arduous task.
00:33:30.54\00:33:32.81
You don't find the gold or
the diamonds on the surface.
00:33:32.84\00:33:36.11
Right.
00:33:36.14\00:33:37.48
And the very same thing
is true about the Bible,
00:33:37.51\00:33:38.85
you don't find
them in a nanosecond
00:33:38.88\00:33:41.68
or in 500 themes
going by in 30 seconds,
00:33:41.72\00:33:44.99
you don't find it that way.
00:33:45.02\00:33:46.49
But the movies
and the media is doing
00:33:46.52\00:33:48.99
is not only
giving false pictures
00:33:49.02\00:33:50.49
of the true
representations in the Bible,
00:33:50.53\00:33:53.50
the true
characters of the Bible,
00:33:53.53\00:33:54.86
and even the word character
is not even the good word.
00:33:54.90\00:33:57.33
The true
personalities in the Bible.
00:33:57.37\00:33:59.57
Noah, a
personality, Jesus, the Christ.
00:33:59.60\00:34:04.21
If we use characters,
00:34:04.24\00:34:05.57
then that's
equated to the movie,
00:34:05.61\00:34:06.94
"What character did you play?"
00:34:06.98\00:34:08.74
I don't even like to use
word character with the Bible.
00:34:08.78\00:34:11.11
But it's breaking down that
00:34:11.15\00:34:13.38
true representation of a message
00:34:13.42\00:34:15.25
that has stood the test of time.
00:34:15.28\00:34:16.65
The one thing that gives me
00:34:16.69\00:34:18.02
courage, Keith,
Danique, and Scott
00:34:18.05\00:34:19.59
is this that
there is an illustration
00:34:19.62\00:34:21.59
many years ago, it says,
00:34:21.62\00:34:23.39
"The anvil of truth
00:34:23.43\00:34:24.99
has worn out many
hammers of false teachings."
00:34:25.03\00:34:29.90
The anvil of truth,
00:34:29.93\00:34:31.27
you can hit that thing for years
00:34:31.30\00:34:32.63
many hammers have replaced,
00:34:32.67\00:34:34.17
keep hitting the same anvil,
00:34:34.20\00:34:35.54
the anvil of truth wears out
00:34:35.57\00:34:37.34
many hammers of false teachings.
00:34:37.37\00:34:38.97
But set up the next clip for us?
00:34:39.01\00:34:41.18
I like Danique do that. Sure.
00:34:41.21\00:34:42.54
She actually really
helped a lot with the editing on
00:34:42.58\00:34:45.15
in the creation
of this documentary
00:34:45.18\00:34:47.45
that we made called
controller about video game so.
00:34:47.48\00:34:50.35
Yeah, so it's a
little disclaimer.
00:34:50.39\00:34:53.82
I was actually a video game
addict for many, many years.
00:34:53.86\00:34:55.72
Okay.
00:34:55.76\00:34:57.09
I only realized
that I had been an addict
00:34:57.13\00:34:58.46
when I listen to
Scott Ritsema's Talk Media
00:34:58.49\00:35:00.66
on the brain on AudioVerse.
00:35:00.70\00:35:03.23
But so when I was
there in 2015, I was in...
00:35:03.26\00:35:07.40
we were still in
California, went to visit them.
00:35:07.44\00:35:10.31
And I worked for them for
two months, and they were like,
00:35:10.34\00:35:12.71
"Well, why don't you
make Controlled level three",
00:35:12.74\00:35:14.64
'cause we already had
number one, number two,
00:35:14.68\00:35:16.28
two other
documentaries about video games.
00:35:16.31\00:35:18.68
So this is our latest
documentary we released it,
00:35:18.71\00:35:21.02
well, maybe I don't
know a few months ago.
00:35:21.05\00:35:23.55
And, yeah, I would talk to...
00:35:23.59\00:35:25.62
we're discussing those
games that are played most.
00:35:25.65\00:35:28.42
So Halo, Grand Theft Auto,
00:35:28.46\00:35:30.26
Call of Duty,
and Assassin's Creed,
00:35:30.29\00:35:32.66
very popular games,
00:35:32.69\00:35:34.03
not just
focusing on the violence
00:35:34.06\00:35:35.56
because that's just obvious
00:35:35.60\00:35:36.93
but focusing on
the biblical messages
00:35:36.97\00:35:39.17
that are put on its head
00:35:39.20\00:35:40.54
and how is that impacting
your relationship with God.
00:35:40.57\00:35:43.37
Okay.
00:35:43.41\00:35:44.74
Once again the disclaimer fits
for all of those other clips
00:35:44.77\00:35:47.64
that we are gonna include today,
00:35:47.68\00:35:49.44
but here's what
Danique just introduced.
00:35:49.48\00:35:51.88
It separates you from
God and before you know.
00:36:19.97\00:36:23.51
You distance
yourself in every way
00:36:23.55\00:36:25.68
from anything to do with God.
00:36:25.71\00:36:30.39
Bible became a boring book,
00:36:30.42\00:36:32.09
book that was
dull and dissatisfying
00:36:32.12\00:36:34.52
because of the
excitement and nothing natural.
00:36:34.56\00:36:37.46
World that was putting
myself in playing computer games
00:36:37.49\00:36:41.10
was destroying my
relationship with God.
00:36:41.13\00:36:43.06
P. Shavaun Scott and Niels Clark
00:36:53.78\00:36:55.64
in the book 'Game Addicts'
00:36:55.68\00:36:57.01
talk about that there
is some sort of hypnosis
00:36:57.05\00:37:00.08
that occurs when you
are playing video games.
00:37:00.12\00:37:02.62
You lived in a cloud city
00:37:09.92\00:37:11.66
but evil forces
came and cast you out.
00:37:11.69\00:37:14.10
You take your
image of the creators
00:37:14.13\00:37:16.06
from an ancient
book written by men.
00:37:16.10\00:37:19.20
It is Master Chief
who attacks the covenant,
00:37:19.23\00:37:21.67
he attacks
Christ's plan of salvation.
00:37:21.70\00:37:24.71
Everyone is
searching for something.
00:37:33.88\00:37:35.78
It gives you the
ability to become someone else
00:37:35.82\00:37:39.05
or someone who is powerful
00:37:39.09\00:37:41.39
who can break the rules
00:37:41.42\00:37:43.46
without actually
getting arrested.
00:37:43.49\00:37:45.89
And they found that
many, many school shootings
00:37:45.93\00:37:49.40
are also linked to
playing video games.
00:37:49.43\00:37:51.87
This satanic mean
offers life after death
00:37:51.90\00:37:55.47
in the frozen forest.
00:37:55.50\00:37:57.14
Before you know it,
it's not only applying,
00:37:57.17\00:38:00.38
anyway it's
very, very destructive
00:38:00.41\00:38:03.61
in pretty much
every facet of life.
00:38:03.65\00:38:06.15
It was completely effective
00:38:09.52\00:38:11.55
in destructing and
making the great controversy
00:38:11.59\00:38:13.66
that was raging around me.
00:38:13.69\00:38:15.79
I just but totally
absorbed in this thing.
00:38:15.82\00:38:20.03
Wow.
00:38:44.12\00:38:45.45
Once again, video
games, I made the comment
00:38:45.49\00:38:48.42
because it's
called Controller 3.
00:38:48.46\00:38:50.99
That's right.
00:38:51.03\00:38:52.36
So the inference would
be who is controlling whom.
00:38:52.39\00:38:56.13
Talk about that
for a moment... Sure.
00:38:56.16\00:38:57.53
'Cause you said
you're video game addict,
00:38:57.57\00:38:59.03
I don't know if
they caught that.
00:38:59.07\00:39:00.40
Yeah, so I was
actually a video game addict.
00:39:00.44\00:39:03.67
I was completely
a different person
00:39:03.71\00:39:05.04
before I became a Christian.
00:39:05.07\00:39:06.54
I grew up with Nintendo,
00:39:06.57\00:39:08.31
we had all kinds of
devices in our house.
00:39:08.34\00:39:12.41
Me and my brother
are very much into games.
00:39:12.45\00:39:14.35
And I mean, now I look
like a very acquiescent,
00:39:14.38\00:39:16.99
Paul's probably
say feminine person.
00:39:17.02\00:39:18.82
But I was
wearing hoodies and jeans
00:39:18.85\00:39:21.22
and I was kind of a tomboy.
00:39:21.26\00:39:23.73
And I played all those games
00:39:23.76\00:39:25.69
that are actually
in this documentary
00:39:25.73\00:39:27.63
so I played Halo,
played Assassin's Creed,
00:39:27.66\00:39:29.93
played Grand
Theft Auto as a girl.
00:39:29.96\00:39:32.27
All that I would say junk
00:39:32.30\00:39:35.37
played The Sims
as well, of course.
00:39:35.40\00:39:36.94
And I...
00:39:36.97\00:39:38.41
Yeah, you know, I
really, really, believe
00:39:38.44\00:39:39.94
that has an impact on you
00:39:39.97\00:39:41.78
and even has such an impact that
00:39:41.81\00:39:44.05
when I was researching
for this documentary,
00:39:44.08\00:39:47.75
I was doing it for a whole day.
00:39:47.78\00:39:49.62
At the end of the day, I
felt so far away from God.
00:39:49.65\00:39:52.39
I was like I have to get
on my knees and pray again
00:39:52.42\00:39:54.56
'cause I feel drained right now.
00:39:54.59\00:39:57.19
So I really believe
it has an impact on you
00:39:57.23\00:39:59.76
and this is what's happening.
00:39:59.79\00:40:02.66
And you set to
put this together,
00:40:02.70\00:40:04.77
you had to step back
and not continue them
00:40:04.80\00:40:07.10
to reintroduce
yourself to things
00:40:07.14\00:40:08.47
that you had abandoned.
00:40:08.50\00:40:09.84
That's right. You
felt that lack of...
00:40:09.87\00:40:11.67
It was hard. It was really hard.
00:40:11.71\00:40:13.41
I mean, I was, these were games
00:40:13.44\00:40:15.28
that I played hours in a row.
00:40:15.31\00:40:17.15
I once played The
Sims through the night.
00:40:17.18\00:40:19.31
And you know, the Sims is a game
00:40:19.35\00:40:20.92
where you can raise a family
and all that and simulate life.
00:40:20.95\00:40:25.79
And in the game, while I
was playing it through the night
00:40:25.82\00:40:28.49
and I was able to get my child,
00:40:28.52\00:40:31.49
my Sim child grow
from a baby to a teenager
00:40:31.53\00:40:34.10
and those who played Sims
know it takes quite sometime.
00:40:34.13\00:40:37.57
And I was maybe 12
years old or something
00:40:37.60\00:40:39.93
and, you know, it's crazy.
00:40:39.97\00:40:42.74
And the thing is
I was like, okay,
00:40:42.77\00:40:45.44
let's analyze these games,
00:40:45.47\00:40:46.81
I played these games
and they're super popular,
00:40:46.84\00:40:48.64
know they're violent
00:40:48.68\00:40:50.01
but I don't
want to focus on that
00:40:50.05\00:40:51.38
because every
hardcore gamer will say
00:40:51.41\00:40:52.98
whatever I
don't care about that.
00:40:53.01\00:40:54.62
But I wanna focus
00:40:54.65\00:40:55.98
on the spiritual
message that is in there,
00:40:56.02\00:40:57.82
and when I discovered
some of these things like
00:40:57.85\00:41:00.06
Halo, or Grand Theft
Auto, it blew my mind.
00:41:00.09\00:41:04.06
And I thought why I
have never seen those things.
00:41:04.09\00:41:07.23
Because your mind
was controlled by it.
00:41:07.26\00:41:10.10
My brain was... Yeah.
00:41:10.13\00:41:11.47
My frontal lobe was suppressed
00:41:11.50\00:41:12.83
and I was not able to understand
00:41:12.87\00:41:14.87
and dig through these things.
00:41:14.90\00:41:17.57
And even when I was
analyzing these games,
00:41:17.61\00:41:19.77
it took me forever
to figure this out.
00:41:19.81\00:41:21.38
It's like you
have to dig through
00:41:21.41\00:41:22.74
layer and layer and layer,
00:41:22.78\00:41:24.21
and I was just praying Lord,
00:41:24.25\00:41:26.25
I see there's something there
00:41:26.28\00:41:27.62
but I can't really
wrap my head around it,
00:41:27.65\00:41:30.19
help me to understand it
and then finally it hit me
00:41:30.22\00:41:32.35
and I was like "Oh, wow.
00:41:32.39\00:41:34.22
This is crazy."
00:41:34.26\00:41:36.29
What messages
are in these games.
00:41:36.32\00:41:37.96
It's just insane.
00:41:37.99\00:41:39.33
And it setup, Keith and Scott,
00:41:39.36\00:41:41.06
in such a way that it keeps you
00:41:41.10\00:41:42.53
wanting to go to the next level.
00:41:42.56\00:41:43.90
That's right.
00:41:43.93\00:41:45.27
Talk about the appeal
'cause as speaker evangelists,
00:41:45.30\00:41:48.37
you also work in a lot
of the graphic areas too.
00:41:48.40\00:41:50.91
When you go and stand before
an audience of young people,
00:41:50.94\00:41:54.74
how do you say to them?
00:41:54.78\00:41:56.11
What do you say to them?
00:41:56.14\00:41:57.78
Well, you know, I typically
always start out with science.
00:41:57.81\00:42:01.12
Okay.
00:42:01.15\00:42:02.48
You never know
who's in your audience.
00:42:02.52\00:42:04.12
And so I think
science as a good bridge
00:42:04.15\00:42:06.29
to establish some facts.
00:42:06.32\00:42:08.36
And once you
establish some facts about
00:42:08.39\00:42:09.99
how that brain works,
00:42:10.03\00:42:11.36
what kind of
effect it has on you,
00:42:11.39\00:42:13.56
what kind of effect it
has on your limbic system,
00:42:13.60\00:42:15.66
and things like this,
00:42:15.70\00:42:17.20
you can really then
begin to build a bridge
00:42:17.23\00:42:19.27
with your
audience and say, okay,
00:42:19.30\00:42:20.94
now that we've
established this truth,
00:42:20.97\00:42:23.41
let's go into the truth
of what the Bible has to say
00:42:23.44\00:42:27.04
and see if these
themes that are being taught
00:42:27.08\00:42:30.65
are match-up with this book.
00:42:30.68\00:42:32.95
And if they don't,
00:42:32.98\00:42:34.48
well, now we have to re-evaluate
00:42:34.52\00:42:35.85
our situation and say, "Is
this the best thing for us?
00:42:35.88\00:42:38.75
Is this what God
would have us to do?"
00:42:38.79\00:42:41.02
And if it's not,
00:42:41.06\00:42:42.39
then it's time to repent, right?
00:42:42.42\00:42:45.09
And it's time to move on
from that to something else
00:42:45.13\00:42:49.56
by claiming the promises
of God that He has the power
00:42:49.60\00:42:51.83
to deliver us from these things,
00:42:51.87\00:42:53.90
and to set us free,
00:42:53.94\00:42:55.80
and then live a victorious
life based on his merits.
00:42:55.84\00:42:58.84
That's right.
00:42:58.87\00:43:00.21
Scott, would you say
coming from the movie industry
00:43:00.24\00:43:02.71
trying to get
people out of this,
00:43:02.74\00:43:04.08
this is almost like
drug rehabilitation?
00:43:04.11\00:43:06.58
It is.
00:43:06.61\00:43:07.95
Because you know the dopamine
that's released in your brain,
00:43:07.98\00:43:10.75
it's a very attractive thing.
00:43:10.79\00:43:12.29
I mean, if you're
really addicted to TV,
00:43:12.32\00:43:15.06
if you try to just stop,
00:43:15.09\00:43:17.23
you will notice the
withdrawal symptoms,
00:43:17.26\00:43:19.76
your brain will
try to talk you into
00:43:19.79\00:43:21.26
why you need to see
this movie or that movie?
00:43:21.30\00:43:23.13
I mean, the reason why
they show trailers before movies
00:43:23.16\00:43:26.17
is because it's like
bringing you to the next level
00:43:26.20\00:43:28.47
and continuing on forward.
00:43:28.50\00:43:30.67
So what we have found
that the best way to do it
00:43:30.71\00:43:34.08
is you have to
replace it with something,
00:43:34.11\00:43:36.75
you cannot just
take it away, stop,
00:43:36.78\00:43:38.78
it has to be replaced.
00:43:38.81\00:43:41.18
And the thing to
replace it with is
00:43:41.22\00:43:43.72
I believe we are out of
time in this world stage.
00:43:43.75\00:43:48.62
I mean, we are standing
on the precipice of time,
00:43:48.66\00:43:51.26
and you see the thing that
the devil got, the Israelites,
00:43:51.29\00:43:54.96
when they were standing
00:43:55.00\00:43:56.33
on the edge of the Jordan to do,
00:43:56.36\00:43:57.93
was, you know,
worship some other god
00:43:57.97\00:44:01.17
or some other
thing in the world,
00:44:01.20\00:44:03.91
and then, of course,
we know that calamity
00:44:03.94\00:44:05.94
happened to the
Israelites, right?
00:44:05.97\00:44:07.94
Well, the devil
has no new tricks,
00:44:07.98\00:44:09.31
he's doing the same thing to us.
00:44:09.34\00:44:10.68
Same thing.
00:44:10.71\00:44:12.05
He's getting us to
worship everything else
00:44:12.08\00:44:13.48
other than our God.
00:44:13.52\00:44:15.35
So if we can unplug from
these distractions of this world
00:44:15.38\00:44:20.16
and begin to
build our relationship
00:44:20.19\00:44:23.16
based on the foundations
and the truths of the Bible,
00:44:23.19\00:44:26.13
just like that song says,
00:44:26.16\00:44:27.60
"The things of this
world will grow strangely dim."
00:44:27.63\00:44:31.00
And you see, I was addicted
to movies like each one of us.
00:44:31.03\00:44:33.70
I think why God asked us to
be involved in this ministry
00:44:33.74\00:44:37.34
and do what
we're doing is because
00:44:37.37\00:44:38.77
I personally was
addicted to movies,
00:44:38.81\00:44:40.88
to the point where I
wanted to go to Hollywood
00:44:40.91\00:44:43.04
and make them.
00:44:43.08\00:44:44.41
That was my
passion, that was my life,
00:44:44.45\00:44:46.48
that's what I wanted to do.
00:44:46.51\00:44:47.85
So people can't say to you,
00:44:47.88\00:44:49.22
you don't know what
we're talking about?
00:44:49.25\00:44:50.59
Yeah, I was there.
00:44:50.62\00:44:51.95
I mean, in college
I spent every weekend
00:44:51.99\00:44:54.72
at the movie
theater, every movie.
00:44:54.76\00:44:56.96
Didn't matter what
rating it was or nothing.
00:44:56.99\00:44:59.19
And step-by-step
before I knew it,
00:44:59.23\00:45:02.40
I was far away from God
00:45:02.43\00:45:03.80
and had nothing
to do with religion.
00:45:03.83\00:45:05.20
But there is some good news
we're talking about here today,
00:45:05.23\00:45:06.97
because there's a
way to reverse it now
00:45:07.00\00:45:08.54
as you set up this final clip
00:45:08.57\00:45:09.97
that we're gonna show,
which there is no need to,
00:45:10.01\00:45:13.34
you know, turn
away from this clip
00:45:13.38\00:45:14.71
because this in fact, to me,
00:45:14.74\00:45:16.64
is an introduction
00:45:16.68\00:45:18.11
and to how to
recalibrate the brain.
00:45:18.15\00:45:22.08
How to get people involved,
00:45:22.12\00:45:25.02
rather than become meaningful,
00:45:25.05\00:45:29.09
wandering generalities,
00:45:29.12\00:45:30.79
they could become
meaningful specifics.
00:45:30.83\00:45:33.09
And so set this third
clip up because it's very...
00:45:33.13\00:45:35.70
I mean this is important.
00:45:35.73\00:45:37.07
It's taking young
people that are trapped in a,
00:45:37.10\00:45:39.60
I can't do
anything about it world,
00:45:39.63\00:45:41.57
to be able to do
something about it.
00:45:41.60\00:45:43.54
So this is a neat project.
00:45:43.57\00:45:46.04
A lot of times
people ask our ministry,
00:45:46.07\00:45:47.74
"So is there anything
good for us to watch?"
00:45:47.78\00:45:50.11
So what we wanted to do
is work on a documentary
00:45:50.15\00:45:52.08
that was a
positive that was showing,
00:45:52.11\00:45:55.12
"Hey, here's a
nice form of media
00:45:55.15\00:45:57.85
in a nice way to teach
in an educational way."
00:45:57.89\00:46:03.63
And so this was following
around an Adventist teacher
00:46:03.66\00:46:06.16
that takes the
students on a wagon trip,
00:46:06.19\00:46:09.16
and takes away all the media,
00:46:09.20\00:46:11.17
and places them
back in the 1850s,
00:46:11.20\00:46:13.84
and educates them properly.
00:46:13.87\00:46:16.04
Okay. Let's go
right to the clip.
00:46:16.07\00:46:17.41
It's about four
minutes. Don't turn away.
00:46:17.44\00:46:21.41
First page in the
seventh grade health notebook
00:46:21.44\00:46:24.21
I still have it.
00:46:24.25\00:46:26.15
Question asks, it's
kind of faded there.
00:46:26.18\00:46:29.68
It basically, "What kind
of a profession you want to do
00:46:29.72\00:46:32.09
when you're an adult?"
00:46:32.12\00:46:34.52
"I would like to be a teacher
00:46:34.56\00:46:36.56
because I like young
people and I like to help them."
00:46:36.59\00:46:40.90
Now there is a 13-year-old boy
00:46:40.93\00:46:42.26
who cut this picture out
and stuck it on here and said,
00:46:42.30\00:46:45.10
"This is what I think I will
look like when I'm a teacher."
00:46:45.13\00:46:47.97
The picture that
seventh grade boy
00:46:48.00\00:46:49.34
pasted in that tablet
00:46:49.37\00:46:51.07
represented
teaching as he envisioned it
00:46:51.11\00:46:52.91
would be over the years,
but that's not what happened.
00:46:52.94\00:46:56.11
It changed, it grew,
it took on its own life
00:46:56.14\00:46:59.15
and changed into the
teaching that I experience now.
00:46:59.18\00:47:02.48
Students have been
introduced to their journals.
00:47:02.52\00:47:04.45
Journals are significant
in the immigration experience.
00:47:04.49\00:47:08.29
They became
primary resources to us.
00:47:08.32\00:47:10.83
This is 1849,
00:47:10.86\00:47:12.79
he went on the
trail you're going on.
00:47:12.83\00:47:14.76
And it's probably the
first natural trail guide
00:47:14.80\00:47:16.67
that was
written, it was a diary.
00:47:16.70\00:47:18.80
He kept meticulous records.
00:47:18.83\00:47:20.90
Campsites where you
can find water and...
00:47:20.94\00:47:23.27
At school we
have high structure.
00:47:23.30\00:47:25.37
It's very common,
teacher will give a topic
00:47:25.41\00:47:27.48
and you will pull the topic.
00:47:27.51\00:47:29.51
And it's hard for them
00:47:29.54\00:47:30.88
to develop a freedom to write.
00:47:30.91\00:47:32.61
And they won't write
because they need to,
00:47:32.65\00:47:34.35
they want to be right.
00:47:34.38\00:47:36.02
If I tell them what to write,
00:47:36.05\00:47:37.39
I miss out on where
their trail's going.
00:47:37.42\00:47:39.95
I miss on their journey.
00:47:39.99\00:47:41.32
Today we're taking a
new road to Oregon, right?
00:47:41.36\00:47:43.69
That route often leads
to California by the way.
00:47:43.73\00:47:46.80
Push, help me push.
00:47:46.83\00:47:48.40
I can take these
students on a wagon trip,
00:47:48.43\00:47:50.20
where the environment itself
becomes a teaching component.
00:47:50.23\00:47:52.93
'Cause you don't have
all of the day before you,
00:47:52.97\00:47:55.07
and unless you learn
how to become efficient,
00:47:55.10\00:47:57.41
and work well,
and use your morning
00:47:57.44\00:47:59.57
so that your night
is well planned for,
00:47:59.61\00:48:04.35
you're gonna find
yourself in a lot of,
00:48:04.38\00:48:06.72
well, you're gonna sleep
on a better consequences.
00:48:06.75\00:48:08.62
Well, I'd like to
have you considered,
00:48:08.65\00:48:10.49
what does it mean to be we?
00:48:10.52\00:48:13.22
Hey, who wants the dry dishes?
00:48:19.09\00:48:21.16
Can you reach back,
00:48:21.20\00:48:22.56
figure out the
things you did yesterday,
00:48:22.60\00:48:23.97
make the
adjustments that you need
00:48:24.00\00:48:25.97
and see if you
can improve today.
00:48:26.00\00:48:27.54
In the meantime,
00:48:27.57\00:48:28.90
you're interacting with
other people to make it work,
00:48:28.94\00:48:30.81
you're doing team work.
00:48:30.84\00:48:32.17
I mean, these are the
things that industry wants.
00:48:32.21\00:48:33.68
These are things
that business wishes
00:48:33.71\00:48:36.04
teachers and schools
would instill in their kids.
00:48:36.08\00:48:39.51
Cooperation, and
innovation, and having a goal,
00:48:39.55\00:48:44.89
and then finding your resources
00:48:44.92\00:48:46.39
and working them
out to make it happen,
00:48:46.42\00:48:48.72
and then evaluating how
that's going to turn out,
00:48:48.76\00:48:50.79
and then making the
adjustments that you need,
00:48:50.83\00:48:52.79
do critical thinking.
00:48:52.83\00:48:54.60
Once I found these trails
00:48:54.63\00:48:56.26
and found out that they existed.
00:48:56.30\00:48:57.63
As an adult I was surprised
they were there, still there,
00:48:57.67\00:48:59.87
but they're disappearing fast.
00:48:59.90\00:49:01.50
And I became acquainted
00:49:01.54\00:49:02.87
with an Oregon
California Trails Association,
00:49:02.90\00:49:05.54
who started 30 years ago.
00:49:05.57\00:49:08.14
And their purpose was
to identify these trails
00:49:08.18\00:49:11.31
and educate people about it
00:49:11.35\00:49:12.68
and maybe try to
preserve them if they could.
00:49:12.71\00:49:14.58
So it's bigger than just me
00:49:14.62\00:49:15.95
taking kids out on these trails,
00:49:15.98\00:49:17.32
it's bigger than that.
00:49:17.35\00:49:18.69
It reaches out to other people
of the country in the world.
00:49:18.72\00:49:21.66
This is a
national, not a national,
00:49:21.69\00:49:23.99
this was a world movement.
00:49:24.03\00:49:26.09
The whole world
can identify with this.
00:49:26.13\00:49:27.73
It was unique in
the history of the world
00:49:27.76\00:49:29.10
and that affected the world,
that migration to the West.
00:49:29.13\00:49:34.07
'62. 1948.
00:49:34.10\00:49:37.27
We had a way harder
00:49:37.31\00:49:38.64
but I think we're
getting to a pretty good hill
00:49:38.67\00:49:40.61
like since we're
used to our 21st century,
00:49:40.64\00:49:43.31
this is like the
way stretching us.
00:49:43.35\00:49:45.51
And I think I'm
getting a pretty good feel
00:49:45.55\00:49:47.25
how they felt,
00:49:47.28\00:49:48.62
how exhausted
they were each day,
00:49:48.65\00:49:49.98
and like how dirty they were
00:49:50.02\00:49:52.05
and how they really
didn't care if they...
00:49:52.09\00:49:54.06
People's hands are dirty
00:49:54.09\00:49:55.42
and they were just
catching food and eating it.
00:49:55.46\00:49:57.36
It was pretty and it was, I
feel we're thankful to that.
00:49:57.39\00:50:01.56
'Cause you have got to survive
this desert to get to there,
00:50:01.60\00:50:04.50
then when they go out into
what they call the real world,
00:50:04.53\00:50:07.04
it appears real.
00:50:07.07\00:50:08.40
Well, I science today,
I'm doing math right now,
00:50:08.44\00:50:09.97
I need to do a little bit
of Latin language right now.
00:50:10.01\00:50:13.31
When students going
down the wagon train,
00:50:13.34\00:50:15.14
they're not aware that
they're doing math, and science,
00:50:15.18\00:50:17.05
and history but they are.
00:50:17.08\00:50:18.55
They're doing in
such a natural way
00:50:18.58\00:50:19.91
that feels like life.
00:50:19.95\00:50:21.82
That's what the wagon
trip is, that's real life.
00:50:21.85\00:50:24.39
And I even
simulated it into real life
00:50:24.42\00:50:26.82
and environment
becomes the teacher.
00:50:26.86\00:50:28.56
As you can see,
00:50:46.64\00:50:47.98
that is one of
the suggested ways of
00:50:48.01\00:50:51.15
getting your
people back to a normal,
00:50:51.18\00:50:53.62
functioning,
thinking state in life.
00:50:53.65\00:50:56.52
But, Scott, just
kind of summarize,
00:50:56.55\00:50:59.12
we have some
ways of participating
00:50:59.15\00:51:01.12
in keeping Little
Light going and growing.
00:51:01.16\00:51:02.99
Talk about that?
00:51:03.02\00:51:04.36
First of all, we would
love you guys' prayers.
00:51:04.39\00:51:06.76
I mean, this is more work
than we can possibly handle,
00:51:06.80\00:51:09.66
we have a
passion for young people.
00:51:09.70\00:51:11.03
That's right.
00:51:11.07\00:51:12.40
I wanna get
young people involved,
00:51:12.43\00:51:13.77
I wanna make, we
wanna make content
00:51:13.80\00:51:16.30
that young
people are dealing with.
00:51:16.34\00:51:18.47
There's a lot of subjects
that need to be talked about,
00:51:18.51\00:51:20.84
I mean, the internet,
the social media, the media,
00:51:20.88\00:51:23.75
I mean, this is
what kids are roped into.
00:51:23.78\00:51:25.95
So we need to be able to
give them that information
00:51:25.98\00:51:28.78
and put it in a relevant way
00:51:28.82\00:51:30.22
and point people
back at the Bible.
00:51:30.25\00:51:32.62
Many ways you
guys can get involved.
00:51:32.65\00:51:34.66
Visit our website,
00:51:34.69\00:51:36.42
we have a
donation page on there,
00:51:36.46\00:51:38.49
I mean, ministries need funding,
00:51:38.53\00:51:41.10
it takes money to
make media productions.
00:51:41.13\00:51:43.06
That's why Hollywood makes
movies that make look so good,
00:51:43.10\00:51:46.23
it's because they pour
millions of dollars into it.
00:51:46.27\00:51:48.80
We need help.
00:51:48.84\00:51:50.17
We've got lots of people
00:51:50.21\00:51:51.54
that are willing to help us out,
00:51:51.57\00:51:53.78
so we're building
a studio right now
00:51:53.81\00:51:56.44
in the Tennessee area,
00:51:56.48\00:51:57.81
and our passion is to
get some of those young kids
00:51:57.85\00:51:59.81
that are being trained
how to make media productions
00:51:59.85\00:52:01.92
to come and get involved so...
00:52:01.95\00:52:03.28
Wonderful.
00:52:03.32\00:52:04.65
I wanna make
sure that the audience
00:52:04.69\00:52:06.02
gets the address roll
00:52:06.05\00:52:07.39
to know how to get in touch
with a Little Light Studios
00:52:07.42\00:52:08.96
to get access to their DVD's,
their YouTube free information,
00:52:08.99\00:52:12.43
and here is what you
need to be able to participate
00:52:12.46\00:52:15.13
and what Scott
just shared with you.
00:52:15.16\00:52:16.77
Little Light Studios
mission is to create experiences
00:52:19.17\00:52:22.54

of a healthy
mind, body, and soul.
