Eight feet in diameter. 00:04:39.21\00:04:41.48 So that little Land Cruiser was so laden, 00:04:41.51\00:04:44.91 it was unbelievable that we did what we did, 00:04:44.95\00:04:47.38 but you know, God had a purpose and he got us around. 00:04:47.42\00:04:50.35 And that was really the beginning of 3ABN Australia 00:04:50.39\00:04:52.55 and it's neat to see what God has done. 00:04:52.59\00:04:54.72 Now to God be the glory, great things he has done. 00:04:54.76\00:04:56.93 That's very exciting. 00:04:56.96\00:04:58.29 We're glad to have both of you here. 00:04:58.33\00:04:59.66 Thank you. 00:04:59.69\00:05:01.03 Yes, we're excited to find out 00:05:01.06\00:05:02.40 more especially about 3ABN Australia Radio 00:05:02.43\00:05:04.43 and what God's doing through the airwaves, 00:05:04.47\00:05:06.20 through the radio. 00:05:06.23\00:05:07.57 Before we go to our music, 00:05:07.60\00:05:08.97 we always want to read a scripture 00:05:09.00\00:05:10.54 and I ask Ettienne, if there is a certain scripture 00:05:10.57\00:05:12.51 that you like with 3ABN Australia Radio 00:05:12.54\00:05:15.71 and this is from Revelation 12:11. 00:05:15.74\00:05:19.41 The Bible says, "And they will proclaim Him 00:05:19.45\00:05:21.65 by the blood of the Lamb 00:05:21.68\00:05:23.55 and by the word of their testimony, 00:05:23.59\00:05:26.42 and they did not love their lives to the death." 00:05:26.45\00:05:28.96 So Ettienne, why does this specific verse, 00:05:28.99\00:05:31.56 why does this verse specifically speak to you 00:05:31.59\00:05:33.86 with 3ABN Australia Radio? 00:05:33.90\00:05:35.23 Look, one of the programs 00:05:35.26\00:05:36.60 we developed at 3ABN Australia Radio is testimonies, 00:05:36.63\00:05:39.30 people sharing their testimonies. 00:05:39.33\00:05:41.07 It's very powerful to see 00:05:41.10\00:05:42.90 how God has intervened in people's lives 00:05:42.94\00:05:44.97 where they've made an absolute U-turn. 00:05:45.01\00:05:47.21 They were walking away from the Lord, 00:05:47.24\00:05:48.61 you know, they were living according to their sensuality, 00:05:48.64\00:05:51.18 you know, all the senses were controlling the mind 00:05:51.21\00:05:53.48 and then seeing God transform and change people's lives. 00:05:53.52\00:05:56.08 That's something 00:05:56.12\00:05:57.45 that somebody can't argue against, 00:05:57.49\00:05:58.82 you know, it changes life as a great witness. 00:05:58.85\00:06:01.29 And here it talks about that it overcame by the blood 00:06:01.32\00:06:02.72 of the Lamb 00:06:02.76\00:06:04.09 because obviously that's Christ 00:06:04.13\00:06:05.46 who justifies us and saves us and makes us holy 00:06:05.49\00:06:07.86 and then the testimonies are another part of it. 00:06:07.90\00:06:10.20 So I believe it's very important 00:06:10.23\00:06:11.57 and, of course, ultimately if they do get tested 00:06:11.60\00:06:13.77 and their faith gets tested, 00:06:13.80\00:06:15.34 they will be prepared to lay down their life, 00:06:15.37\00:06:17.14 because they've already died in Christ. 00:06:17.17\00:06:18.51 Amen. 00:06:18.54\00:06:19.87 So it's a beautiful text and one of our programs 00:06:19.91\00:06:22.84 is actually based on this called 00:06:22.88\00:06:24.21 By the Word of Their Testimony 00:06:24.25\00:06:25.58 where people come and share their testimony 00:06:25.61\00:06:26.95 how God has transformed and changed their lives, 00:06:26.98\00:06:29.28 taken them from being 00:06:29.32\00:06:30.65 miserable people at times to now 00:06:30.69\00:06:32.72 transforming their lives and give them love, joy, 00:06:32.75\00:06:34.92 and peace and purpose in their lives. 00:06:34.96\00:06:36.69 And, you know, and actually 00:06:36.73\00:06:38.06 a little bit later on in the program 00:06:38.09\00:06:39.43 we're going to have a few snippets, 00:06:39.46\00:06:40.93 if that might be a word we could use, 00:06:40.96\00:06:42.36 of some of the programming 00:06:42.40\00:06:43.73 that you are doing and getting ready 00:06:43.77\00:06:45.13 to start airing soon. 00:06:45.17\00:06:46.57 So that's something to look forward here too 00:06:46.60\00:06:47.94 in this program. 00:06:47.97\00:06:49.30 But before we get into 3ABN Australia Radio, 00:06:49.34\00:06:51.51 a little of your testimony, 00:06:51.54\00:06:52.87 we want to go to some music, don't we?

You and your wife. 00:12:20.84\00:12:22.47 Correct. 00:12:22.50\00:12:23.84 You know, before we actually get into the testimony, 00:12:23.87\00:12:25.21 I'm just thinking about radio. 00:12:25.24\00:12:26.71 And so a question that comes to my mind. 00:12:26.74\00:12:28.61 Is radio actually still relevant? 00:12:28.64\00:12:30.95 When you think about technology and how things are going, 00:12:30.98\00:12:33.48 when I think of radio, I think of, 00:12:33.52\00:12:35.28 you know, a little box with, 00:12:35.32\00:12:37.32 you know, an antenna that you pull out 00:12:37.35\00:12:38.69 and they still sell those and you think of long ago 00:12:38.72\00:12:41.89 some people can think of that. 00:12:41.92\00:12:43.56 So someone may say, "Radio? 00:12:43.59\00:12:45.86 Why are we even thinking about radio? 00:12:45.89\00:12:47.96 You know, we're way past that. 00:12:48.00\00:12:49.33 We've got cell phones and all the TV and stuff." 00:12:49.36\00:12:52.93 Look, contrary to the popular opinion 00:12:52.97\00:12:55.10 back in the 80s video didn't kill the radio star. 00:12:55.14\00:12:58.71 Radio is still very important. They're so versatile. 00:12:58.74\00:13:01.18 If you're going to sit in front of a television, 00:13:01.21\00:13:02.54 what you've going to do? 00:13:02.58\00:13:03.91 Sit down and plan the time, you can't really do much. 00:13:03.95\00:13:05.85 A lot of people are now-a-days are on their phone, 00:13:05.88\00:13:07.68 you know, they're sort of multitasking in a way, 00:13:07.72\00:13:09.85 they're watching Facebook, watching a bit of television, 00:13:09.88\00:13:12.62 but with radio, you can work, you can be driving, 00:13:12.65\00:13:14.76 you can be doing other things 00:13:14.79\00:13:16.39 and now you're not supposed to watch television 00:13:16.42\00:13:17.93 while you're driving, That's good. 00:13:17.96\00:13:19.29 So that is a much safer option. Oh, yeah. 00:13:19.33\00:13:22.66 People listen to music, 00:13:22.70\00:13:24.13 they will now stream through Spotify, 00:13:24.17\00:13:27.77 or Stitcher, or Pandora one of those, 00:13:27.80\00:13:30.31 so people... TuneIn. 00:13:30.34\00:13:31.67 TuneIn, yeah, listen to news, music, 00:13:31.71\00:13:35.24 current programs 00:13:35.28\00:13:36.61 that could be to do with talkback radio 00:13:36.64\00:13:38.78 because quite often people are little bit lonely, 00:13:38.81\00:13:40.92 you see and radio can be very, very good company for them. 00:13:40.95\00:13:43.95 For example, we had a lady contact us 00:13:43.99\00:13:46.09 not too long ago saying 00:13:46.12\00:13:47.72 that she used to suffer from nightmares. 00:13:47.76\00:13:49.59 For years, she had problem with nightmares 00:13:49.62\00:13:51.89 and she would be scared to go to sleep 00:13:51.93\00:13:53.93 but she obviously has to sleep, you can't avoid sleeping, 00:13:53.96\00:13:56.83 and every time she sleeps 00:13:56.87\00:13:58.20 she would have these terrible nightmares. 00:13:58.23\00:13:59.63 So then she came across our radio signal 00:13:59.67\00:14:02.64 and started listening to 3ABN Radio 00:14:02.67\00:14:05.64 and she just let that play quietly at night 00:14:05.67\00:14:07.38 while she was sleeping and from then onwards, 00:14:07.41\00:14:09.38 according to her testimony, 00:14:09.41\00:14:10.75 she has had a beautiful night's sleep ever since. 00:14:10.78\00:14:12.88 It's likely that she is inviting 00:14:12.91\00:14:14.25 the presence of the Lord into her home and into her room 00:14:14.28\00:14:16.95 and she just has a great peaceful sleep, 00:14:16.99\00:14:18.55 so even when people are sleeping 00:14:18.59\00:14:19.92 you can't do that, boy, 00:14:19.95\00:14:21.29 I guess, you could do that with a television, 00:14:21.32\00:14:22.66 but the light might keep you awake. 00:14:22.69\00:14:24.03 Right. 00:14:24.06\00:14:25.39 Radio, you can listen to in the dark. 00:14:25.43\00:14:26.76 Very versatile, and we, of course, 00:14:26.80\00:14:28.13 create a lot of programs. 00:14:28.16\00:14:29.50 It could be testimonies, 00:14:29.53\00:14:30.87 it could be even be talkback 00:14:30.90\00:14:32.23 because we do broadcast Bible answers live with Pastor Doug, 00:14:32.27\00:14:34.74 we get it from over here as well, 00:14:34.77\00:14:36.20 so that is a talkback in the sense 00:14:36.24\00:14:37.57 that people ring up and ask questions. 00:14:37.61\00:14:39.84 We also have faith programs, 00:14:39.87\00:14:42.04 you know, just some regards to people's salvation, 00:14:42.08\00:14:44.38 teaching the scriptures, we have science programs, 00:14:44.41\00:14:47.15 we talk about faith and science, 00:14:47.18\00:14:48.52 we talk about evolution and creation, 00:14:48.55\00:14:50.69 and why there is so much evidence 00:14:50.72\00:14:52.49 and belief in creation 00:14:52.52\00:14:53.96 and we also talk about faith and finance, 00:14:53.99\00:14:56.29 and what good stewardship looks like. 00:14:56.32\00:14:57.69 So there's a number of programs that we actually run 00:14:57.73\00:14:59.96 and people are getting good education 00:15:00.00\00:15:01.60 while they're driving around in their cars, 00:15:01.63\00:15:03.16 while they're working in the garden, very versatile. 00:15:03.20\00:15:06.33 Always slightly biased, but still radio, 00:15:06.37\00:15:08.74 radio is number one in my books. 00:15:08.77\00:15:10.31 Yeah, now of course we have 3ABN radio 00:15:10.34\00:15:13.17 as well and so we see definitely, 00:15:13.21\00:15:16.61 I mean, the lord reaches people in many different aspects 00:15:16.64\00:15:18.88 in 3ABN radio and 3ABN... 00:15:18.91\00:15:20.88 Well, we have 3ABN radio Latino and we have Australia as well 00:15:20.92\00:15:24.95 and it definitely has its place in the Lord. 00:15:24.99\00:15:26.92 Well, there's some amazing stories actually. 00:15:26.96\00:15:28.29 I know you're going to share some more with us. 00:15:28.32\00:15:30.19 But let's go back then to a little bit of your story 00:15:30.23\00:15:32.26 so people get to know 00:15:32.29\00:15:33.63 who you are and how the Lord has worked in your life. 00:15:33.66\00:15:36.77 So maybe start out as a young child. 00:15:36.80\00:15:38.13 As a young child? 00:15:38.17\00:15:39.50 Okay, I was born in South Africa 00:15:39.53\00:15:40.87 in Cape Town, beautiful place, 00:15:40.90\00:15:42.24 that's still probably my favorite place 00:15:42.27\00:15:43.61 in the world, maybe slightly biased, 00:15:43.64\00:15:44.97 but it is just a magnificent place. 00:15:45.01\00:15:46.51 Cape Town city is right just off the water 00:15:46.54\00:15:49.51 and then you have this mountain jutting behind it. 00:15:49.54\00:15:51.41 It goes about a mild high. 00:15:51.45\00:15:53.62 And if you go around the coastline 00:15:53.65\00:15:55.12 to the other side from the Bloubergstr 00:15:55.15\00:15:56.52 and, you look across, 00:15:56.55\00:15:57.89 it's flat, flat, flat at the top of the mountain. 00:15:57.92\00:16:00.06 And quite often, you know, 00:16:00.09\00:16:01.42 you have a bit of a cloud cover over it 00:16:01.46\00:16:02.79 so they say the table has been decorated, 00:16:02.82\00:16:05.19 you know, tablecloth on it. 00:16:05.23\00:16:07.30 Beautiful part of the world. 00:16:07.33\00:16:08.66 So I was born there, raised in a Christian home. 00:16:08.70\00:16:11.47 My mum was a fourth generation Sabbath keeper, 00:16:11.50\00:16:14.67 now I don't say Seventh-day Adventist 00:16:14.70\00:16:16.04 because her great grandfather was a Bible student 00:16:16.07\00:16:19.14 and just used to go to church on Sunday. 00:16:19.17\00:16:21.38 And by reading through the Bible a number of times, 00:16:21.41\00:16:23.98 he came to the realization he never saw a change 00:16:24.01\00:16:26.31 from Saturday to Sunday or vice versa, 00:16:26.35\00:16:29.65 all he reads about is the Sabbath 00:16:29.68\00:16:31.32 even in the New Testament. 00:16:31.35\00:16:33.05 So after reading that, 00:16:33.09\00:16:34.49 him and his family started keeping the Sabbath. 00:16:34.52\00:16:36.83 And they didn't even know about Seventh-day Adventist, 00:16:36.86\00:16:39.06 so it was not until a few years later 00:16:39.09\00:16:40.50 that they came across the Adventist faith 00:16:40.53\00:16:42.30 and then joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church. 00:16:42.33\00:16:44.57 So that's on my mum side and I praise God for that. 00:16:44.60\00:16:46.57 On my dad's side, we were probably, 00:16:46.60\00:16:49.04 how can I put it? 00:16:49.07\00:16:50.81 Yes, we had a heathen background. 00:16:50.84\00:16:54.08 My grandparents never went to church. 00:16:54.11\00:16:56.21 However, in South Africa, 00:16:56.24\00:16:57.58 you know, Bible and school was an important aspect 00:16:57.61\00:17:00.45 even in the government schools. 00:17:00.48\00:17:03.02 They used to have worship in the morning 00:17:03.05\00:17:04.39 so what happens is to be with your friends, 00:17:04.42\00:17:05.85 you would go to church, 00:17:05.89\00:17:07.22 so they'll send them off with five or ten cents 00:17:07.26\00:17:08.79 to put in the offering plate 00:17:08.82\00:17:10.16 and my dad would put in ten cents 00:17:10.19\00:17:11.53 and grab twenty cents change 00:17:11.56\00:17:12.89 because he was quite devious when he was younger. 00:17:12.93\00:17:14.86 What was that, Ettienne? 00:17:14.90\00:17:16.23 He put five cents and take ten cents, right? 00:17:16.26\00:17:18.40 That's right. 00:17:18.43\00:17:19.77 You could take change when you need it. 00:17:19.80\00:17:21.14 He was kind of stealing from the plate as he went by. 00:17:21.17\00:17:22.80 Well, that's right. Yeah, yeah. 00:17:22.84\00:17:24.17 That was a blessing 00:17:24.21\00:17:25.54 but obviously not the one that the Lord had given. 00:17:25.57\00:17:28.51 We definitely don't encourage that. 00:17:28.54\00:17:29.88 We do not encourage that. 00:17:29.91\00:17:31.35 And my grandmother, 00:17:31.38\00:17:33.05 she was actually someone who could tell fortune, 00:17:33.08\00:17:35.58 so she could tell the future. 00:17:35.62\00:17:36.95 She'd read tea leaves and so on. 00:17:36.99\00:17:38.55 And then my Aunts, so... 00:17:38.59\00:17:39.92 Into the occult a bit here. 00:17:39.95\00:17:41.36 Yes, yes, yes, could see spirits, 00:17:41.39\00:17:44.49 they call them ghosts and so, 00:17:44.53\00:17:45.99 but I have full understanding of the occult 00:17:46.03\00:17:47.83 and what evil spirits do and masquerade and so on. 00:17:47.86\00:17:50.77 And then my aunt as well, she got involved. 00:17:50.80\00:17:53.74 She had a familiar spirit with her 00:17:53.77\00:17:55.60 who would go around and even when they moved, 00:17:55.64\00:17:57.47 this being would find her and be with her. 00:17:57.51\00:18:00.58 So what happened was when she finally became 00:18:00.61\00:18:02.74 a Seventh-day Adventist, 00:18:02.78\00:18:04.11 she had a hard time getting out of that 00:18:04.15\00:18:05.55 but God protected and brought her through. 00:18:05.58\00:18:07.08 Praise the Lord. So that was the background. 00:18:07.12\00:18:08.48 My dad saw it, but he finally then became a person 00:18:08.52\00:18:11.92 that went on to study theology and became a pastor 00:18:11.95\00:18:14.09 for 45 years in Australia, New Zealand, 00:18:14.12\00:18:16.29 and in South Africa. 00:18:16.32\00:18:17.96 So I'm a PK. Okay, a preacher's kid. 00:18:17.99\00:18:20.16 That's right. It's neat, isn't it? 00:18:20.20\00:18:22.36 When you look back at how 00:18:22.40\00:18:23.73 God plucks people out of when you say, 00:18:23.77\00:18:27.24 bondage to a Satan and how he is using you now, 00:18:27.27\00:18:31.11 so how did you... 00:18:31.14\00:18:32.47 I mean, I know that we can fast forward, 00:18:32.51\00:18:34.51 but to where you're now at 3ABN Australia Radio, 00:18:34.54\00:18:37.15 how did God bring you to 3ABN Australia? 00:18:37.18\00:18:39.65 Well, actually it goes back a few years 00:18:39.68\00:18:41.22 I think when John and Rosemary started 3ABN, 00:18:41.25\00:18:43.69 it would have been in the early years anyway, 00:18:43.72\00:18:45.85 we had a friend 00:18:45.89\00:18:48.12 who was a pastor and John and Rosemary 00:18:48.16\00:18:49.66 traveled around Australia promoting 3ABN, 00:18:49.69\00:18:51.63 putting in satellite dishes and so on. 00:18:51.66\00:18:53.40 Then we went across to New Zealand. 00:18:53.43\00:18:54.96 We were living... Sorry, I missed that part. 00:18:55.00\00:18:56.33 We lived in New Zealand at that time. 00:18:56.36\00:18:57.70 You were working in New Zealand? 00:18:57.73\00:18:59.07 Yes. 00:18:59.10\00:19:00.44 And you obviously didn't drive your little... 00:19:00.47\00:19:01.80 No. 00:19:01.84\00:19:03.17 We didn't have a propeller on it. 00:19:03.20\00:19:05.51 So you went there to install satellite dishes. 00:19:05.54\00:19:07.08 Yes, we did. And you met Ettienne? 00:19:07.11\00:19:08.84 That's where I met John. 00:19:08.88\00:19:10.21 Now, Rosemary had met my wife prior to that. 00:19:10.25\00:19:13.75 They went to the same church 00:19:13.78\00:19:15.12 in Perth on the western side of Australia, 00:19:15.15\00:19:16.69 WA and so she was happy to catch up 00:19:16.72\00:19:19.42 with Michelle when she heard the name. 00:19:19.45\00:19:21.12 So we met them, they were there for three or four days 00:19:21.16\00:19:24.23 and when we moved to Australia, about four years ago now, 00:19:24.26\00:19:27.66 that's when we caught up with John and Rosemary 00:19:27.70\00:19:29.13 going to same church that we attended. 00:19:29.16\00:19:31.33 And then subsequent to that after John 00:19:31.37\00:19:33.70 got to know me a little better, 00:19:33.74\00:19:35.07 and we took a few Sabbath school lessons 00:19:35.10\00:19:36.44 backwards and forward. 00:19:36.47\00:19:37.81 He probably felt confident enough to ask me 00:19:37.84\00:19:39.17 to become part of the committee or the board. 00:19:39.21\00:19:40.68 The board. 00:19:40.71\00:19:42.04 So I've been in the board for almost, 00:19:42.08\00:19:43.41 it would be close to two years no, John? 00:19:43.45\00:19:44.78 Getting close. Yeah. 00:19:44.81\00:19:46.15 And subsequent to that, 00:19:46.18\00:19:47.52 I left my work with Sanitarium Health and Wellbeing 00:19:47.55\00:19:49.38 which is part 00:19:49.42\00:19:50.75 of the Seventh-day Adventist Church's health work 00:19:50.79\00:19:53.09 and then John said, 00:19:53.12\00:19:54.56 "Look, we may have an opportunity for you on radio 00:19:54.59\00:19:56.22 if you consider that." 00:19:56.26\00:19:57.86 And one thing led to another and a few months ago, 00:19:57.89\00:20:00.30 I started with radio. 00:20:00.33\00:20:01.66 Amen. 00:20:01.70\00:20:03.03 I wonder before we get into the radio aspect 00:20:03.06\00:20:04.80 I just want to take you back for one more moment. 00:20:04.83\00:20:06.74 So you were raised as a pastor's kid, right? 00:20:06.77\00:20:09.20 From the age of 10. 00:20:09.24\00:20:11.07 My dad went to study as an adult student, 00:20:11.11\00:20:13.21 went to study the Bible when I was about six years old 00:20:13.24\00:20:15.88 at Helderberg College, 00:20:15.91\00:20:17.25 the Seventh-day Adventist College 00:20:17.28\00:20:18.61 down the bottom of South Africa, yeah. 00:20:18.65\00:20:20.85 So then did you remain a Seventh-day Adventist? 00:20:20.88\00:20:23.32 Were you committed? 00:20:23.35\00:20:24.69 Did you fall in love with Jesus 00:20:24.72\00:20:26.09 and remained a Seventh-day Adventist 00:20:26.12\00:20:27.52 through those years or was there some time 00:20:27.56\00:20:29.32 when you had a little wandering experience? 00:20:29.36\00:20:31.49 I had a few wandering experiences, 00:20:31.53\00:20:33.06 come to the lord, wander, and come and so on. 00:20:33.09\00:20:35.16 But what happened is at the age of 15, 00:20:35.20\00:20:36.73 I actually got baptized, 00:20:36.77\00:20:38.57 and I was very sincere at that time 00:20:38.60\00:20:40.17 but I didn't understand the gospel. 00:20:40.20\00:20:41.84 Now I was even saved 00:20:41.87\00:20:43.20 because my dad's the person who baptized me. 00:20:43.24\00:20:44.57 I was his first baptismal candidate. 00:20:44.61\00:20:46.54 The second person he baptized was 82 years old 00:20:46.57\00:20:48.48 but I was the first one. 00:20:48.51\00:20:49.84 Wow, that's sweet. 00:20:49.88\00:20:51.21 Yes, 15 to 82 is quite a spread. 00:20:51.25\00:20:53.42 And I was about 8 to 10 when I was baptized that day. 00:20:53.45\00:20:55.42 And I said to my dad, 00:20:55.45\00:20:56.79 "Look, why do I need to get baptized? 00:20:56.82\00:20:58.15 I've been brought up 00:20:58.19\00:20:59.52 in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 00:20:59.55\00:21:00.89 I mean, I'm here, I've arrived. 00:21:00.92\00:21:02.26 Why do I need to get baptized? 00:21:02.29\00:21:03.63 I understand if people come from, 00:21:03.66\00:21:04.99 you know, from secularism or they come from, 00:21:05.03\00:21:07.46 you know, some funny beliefs 00:21:07.50\00:21:08.96 or they come from other Christian denominations." 00:21:09.00\00:21:11.27 I understand why they needed 00:21:11.30\00:21:12.63 that rite of passage into the church 00:21:12.67\00:21:14.57 but I'm here, I was born there, 00:21:14.60\00:21:15.94 my mother was born in the church, 00:21:15.97\00:21:17.37 her father was born in the church. 00:21:17.41\00:21:18.74 I didn't understand that, 00:21:18.77\00:21:20.11 but I knew there was a rite of passage 00:21:20.14\00:21:21.48 and that's how you get your membership, 00:21:21.51\00:21:22.84 so many got baptized. 00:21:22.88\00:21:24.21 And I understood, you know, 00:21:24.25\00:21:25.58 some of the fundamental beliefs, 00:21:25.61\00:21:26.95 I understood Daniel and the Revelation, 00:21:26.98\00:21:28.32 the typical programs that we would go through, 00:21:28.35\00:21:30.29 but I didn't understand the significance of baptism, 00:21:30.32\00:21:33.12 that baptism actually means 00:21:33.15\00:21:35.02 that you baptize into the death of Christ 00:21:35.06\00:21:37.36 and then when you raise your body, 00:21:37.39\00:21:38.73 you rise to a new life and a new life in Christ 00:21:38.76\00:21:40.93 that buried with Him 00:21:40.96\00:21:42.30 and raised as it says in Romans 6. 00:21:42.33\00:21:44.40 And I spoke to my dad about it, 00:21:44.43\00:21:45.77 funny enough only a number of months ago, 00:21:45.80\00:21:47.14 and he said, "Funny, we spoke about being born again 00:21:47.17\00:21:49.74 but we didn't really understand 00:21:49.77\00:21:51.11 when we were preaching at that time." 00:21:51.14\00:21:53.17 So I actually got re-baptized probably around 00:21:53.21\00:21:55.74 about the age of 30-ish... 00:21:55.78\00:21:57.98 Mm-hm. 00:21:58.01\00:21:59.35 Yeah because I had some wanderings. 00:21:59.38\00:22:00.82 At the age of 21, for example, 00:22:00.85\00:22:02.75 I started getting into some evolutionary, 00:22:02.78\00:22:05.82 not evolutionary but atheistic beliefs. 00:22:05.85\00:22:07.89 I had never adopted evolution as such because 00:22:07.92\00:22:10.69 I didn't have enough faith for evolution. 00:22:10.73\00:22:12.06 Right. No, that makes sense. 00:22:12.09\00:22:14.03 But in regards to is there a God, 00:22:14.06\00:22:16.36 I couldn't explain our existence, 00:22:16.40\00:22:17.77 how we got to be here because I had some friends 00:22:17.80\00:22:19.43 who were at the university and I had some influences. 00:22:19.47\00:22:22.07 And then at the age of 21, still going to church, 00:22:22.10\00:22:25.37 but at the age of 21, 00:22:25.41\00:22:26.74 we had an evangelist come to our town in New Zealand, 00:22:26.78\00:22:28.54 I was living in Christchurch at the time, 00:22:28.58\00:22:30.28 his name is Pastor Jeff Youlden, 00:22:30.31\00:22:31.91 he does some work with 3ABN. 00:22:31.95\00:22:33.28 He does. 00:22:33.31\00:22:34.65 And anyway so I went to go and support the programs 00:22:34.68\00:22:36.52 and help out with some assuring and that sort of thing, 00:22:36.55\00:22:38.42 you know, and I'm listening 00:22:38.45\00:22:39.79 to all these testimonies regarding prophesy, 00:22:39.82\00:22:43.09 so he is doing Daniel and Revelation 00:22:43.12\00:22:44.59 but he got into Ezekiel and Jeremiah 00:22:44.63\00:22:46.53 and he is talking about what happened to Tyre 00:22:46.56\00:22:49.06 and some of these other places in Babylon 00:22:49.10\00:22:50.90 and I'm just blown away. 00:22:50.93\00:22:52.27 I'm convinced. 00:22:52.30\00:22:53.64 For some reason, I haven't seen this before to their clarity 00:22:53.67\00:22:56.60 but God, there is a God 00:22:56.64\00:22:57.97 that knows the end from the beginning. 00:22:58.01\00:22:59.57 That's right. 00:22:59.61\00:23:00.94 You can actually test that there is a God 00:23:00.98\00:23:02.51 and Christianity is the only religion 00:23:02.54\00:23:04.71 that you can actually test through prophesy. 00:23:04.75\00:23:06.58 And I was just blown, 00:23:06.61\00:23:07.95 I was convinced, there is a God. 00:23:07.98\00:23:09.32 And from then onwards, 00:23:09.35\00:23:10.69 you know, I started just getting 00:23:10.72\00:23:12.05 into a deep relationship with the Lord, 00:23:12.09\00:23:13.42 sometimes wandered away, come back, 00:23:13.46\00:23:14.96 deeper relationship with the Lord, 00:23:14.99\00:23:16.93 get distracted again, 00:23:16.96\00:23:18.29 and then come back deeper relationship 00:23:18.33\00:23:19.66 with the Lord. 00:23:19.69\00:23:21.03 So it's probably about three waves 00:23:21.06\00:23:22.40 that I can mention where I've walked away 00:23:22.43\00:23:24.97 but, you know, there is a text that says in Proverbs 24:16 00:23:25.00\00:23:27.60 that the righteous man falls seven times, 00:23:27.64\00:23:30.54 but he doesn't only get up six times, 00:23:30.57\00:23:32.07 he gets up the seventh time as well. 00:23:32.11\00:23:34.14 So I praise God, you know, 00:23:34.18\00:23:35.71 that his grace is sufficient for us 00:23:35.74\00:23:37.15 even though sometimes we do wander away, 00:23:37.18\00:23:38.78 when we walk away, 00:23:38.81\00:23:40.15 when we don't appreciate how much he means to us 00:23:40.18\00:23:42.38 that in him we live and move and have our being, 00:23:42.42\00:23:45.99 you know, I've come to appreciate 00:23:46.02\00:23:47.56 that so much and love that so much 00:23:47.59\00:23:49.06 and just to have the opportunity 00:23:49.09\00:23:50.43 and I'm very grateful to John to have the opportunity 00:23:50.46\00:23:52.46 to share that across the airwaves, 00:23:52.49\00:23:54.50 what a blessing, you know, 00:23:54.53\00:23:56.50 I'm one of the least that should be in that position 00:23:56.53\00:23:58.77 but by the grace of God as Paul says, 00:23:58.80\00:24:00.57 "We are what we are and God uses us." 00:24:00.60\00:24:02.57 He can even speak through a donkey 00:24:02.60\00:24:03.94 sometimes when he is a rebellious prophet 00:24:03.97\00:24:05.31 so why can't God speak to us. 00:24:05.34\00:24:06.98 Well, I think the key to it is when God calls you, 00:24:07.01\00:24:09.18 you know, He is going to equip you. 00:24:09.21\00:24:10.55 That's right. Amen. 00:24:10.58\00:24:11.91 If you feel, you know, that you don't have the skills 00:24:11.95\00:24:13.28 which God has given you skills obviously, 00:24:13.31\00:24:14.68 I can see that but, you know, 00:24:14.72\00:24:16.05 He is equipping you so and your wife, 00:24:16.08\00:24:18.12 I know you're married. 00:24:18.15\00:24:19.49 I think we have a picture of you and your wife 00:24:19.52\00:24:21.76 so that you guys have been married now, is it 20... 00:24:21.79\00:24:24.96 We're hitting quarter of a century, yeah. 00:24:24.99\00:24:26.90 Aw, how precious. What's her name? 00:24:26.93\00:24:30.07 Her name is Michelle, Michelle Joy. 00:24:30.10\00:24:32.00 And she is the joy of my name. It's her middle name. 00:24:32.03\00:24:35.90 I think every husband could say that or should say that. 00:24:35.94\00:24:38.44 Amen. 00:24:38.47\00:24:39.81 And I would second, third, and fourth that. 00:24:39.84\00:24:41.18 For sure. 00:24:41.21\00:24:42.54 And I've got good taste, So I'm sure be heard. 00:24:42.58\00:24:45.85 And then I think we also have a picture of you behind the... 00:24:45.88\00:24:49.62 The microphone. The FM Radio. 00:24:49.65\00:24:50.99 Oh, yes. That's in the studio, yes. 00:24:51.02\00:24:52.92 This is in the studio there. 00:24:52.95\00:24:54.29 So this is when I do some half hour program 00:24:54.32\00:24:55.82 so I just sit behind the program, studio then, 00:24:55.86\00:24:58.39 I can do, well, the management of the sound. 00:24:58.43\00:25:00.20 But when we do interviews and so forth, 00:25:00.23\00:25:01.73 we use the studio next door. 00:25:01.76\00:25:03.10 There's little glass panel just behind the mic 00:25:03.13\00:25:04.80 that you can just make it out. 00:25:04.83\00:25:06.53 And we can have five people 00:25:06.57\00:25:07.90 in there and do a good program. 00:25:07.94\00:25:09.60 So a question for you, John, I'm thinking back to you know, 00:25:09.64\00:25:12.24 the television, you and your wife 00:25:12.27\00:25:13.61 have been doing this for a while 00:25:13.64\00:25:14.98 but to head into radio, 00:25:15.01\00:25:16.34 where did you start getting that impression of the Lord 00:25:16.38\00:25:19.11 to actually start going 00:25:19.15\00:25:20.48 in this direction several years ago. 00:25:20.52\00:25:22.05 You know, when we traveled around Australia, 00:25:22.08\00:25:24.45 we came across a lot of towns way out in the outback 00:25:24.49\00:25:30.23 and out in the remote areas 00:25:30.26\00:25:32.33 and they have a little church 00:25:32.36\00:25:34.20 and I began to think when I discovered, 00:25:34.23\00:25:36.36 I discovered we knew about TV when we discovered radio, 00:25:36.40\00:25:39.67 I began to think, Lord, 00:25:39.70\00:25:41.04 you know, there is a huge potential in radio. 00:25:41.07\00:25:44.11 Absolutely huge because I thought here we're are, 00:25:44.14\00:25:46.84 we're in a community, there is a church, 00:25:46.88\00:25:49.14 there is only a handful of church members. 00:25:49.18\00:25:52.35 If we could get a license to put an antenna and transmit 00:25:52.38\00:25:56.25 from that church in that community, 00:25:56.28\00:25:58.52 I began to think the people would get to another pastor, 00:25:58.55\00:26:02.32 the people would get to know 00:26:02.36\00:26:03.69 what the Seventh-day Adventist people 00:26:03.73\00:26:06.09 are doing in that community 00:26:06.13\00:26:07.70 and I thought this is just unbelievable. 00:26:07.73\00:26:10.40 So in our first trip we told the pastors, 00:26:10.43\00:26:13.64 you need to get a license, you can have 3ABN Radio. 00:26:13.67\00:26:16.40 Now, at that time it was 3ABN USA feed, okay, 00:26:16.44\00:26:21.08 coming through the satellite. 00:26:21.11\00:26:22.64 And I said to them, 00:26:22.68\00:26:24.01 "Look you only need to do one hour a week, 00:26:24.05\00:26:26.48 just one hour a week. 00:26:26.51\00:26:27.85 Put your Sabbath sermon on 00:26:27.88\00:26:29.45 and then you've got 3ABN programming 00:26:29.48\00:26:31.75 for the rest 24x7. 00:26:31.79\00:26:34.29 And so we started to tell pastors. 00:26:34.32\00:26:36.79 Some were interested. 00:26:36.83\00:26:38.16 We started off the 3ABN dish initiative 00:26:38.19\00:26:40.96 for people to get television but also to get radio 00:26:41.00\00:26:44.93 so they could listen and see 3ABN programming. 00:26:44.97\00:26:48.20 It was really exciting, you know, to... 00:26:48.24\00:26:51.21 But we went and we went from one place to the other. 00:26:51.24\00:26:54.31 The Lord led us and, you know, 00:26:54.34\00:26:56.24 it's been over the years 00:26:56.28\00:26:58.18 we've slowly built up a number of affiliates 00:26:58.21\00:27:01.75 and when we built our studio, 00:27:01.78\00:27:03.62 but in there in the initial planning 00:27:03.65\00:27:06.05 I said, "Lord, we got to have a radio studio." 00:27:06.09\00:27:08.52 So by faith. By faith. 00:27:08.56\00:27:10.53 We didn't have money to equip it. 00:27:10.56\00:27:11.93 There is our ability up the top 00:27:11.96\00:27:14.13 and about the middle at the back 00:27:14.16\00:27:15.80 there is a radio studio 00:27:15.83\00:27:17.67 and it's fitted out wonderfully. 00:27:17.70\00:27:20.24 Now, let me tell you it sat there empty 00:27:20.27\00:27:22.80 for the first few months 00:27:22.84\00:27:24.54 and someone coming along 00:27:24.57\00:27:26.01 who is now one of our affiliates 00:27:26.04\00:27:27.44 has a number of stations 00:27:27.48\00:27:29.28 that he transmits around Australia 00:27:29.31\00:27:31.25 and he said, "John, I've got some money. 00:27:31.28\00:27:33.88 I want to give you some money." 00:27:33.92\00:27:35.25 He came in and saw the place was empty, 00:27:35.28\00:27:38.49 you know, and he is a wonderful man. 00:27:38.52\00:27:39.85 So he was like we need to fill this with equipment. 00:27:39.89\00:27:42.26 So he gave us the money and it's amazing. 00:27:42.29\00:27:45.29 Someone came in to look at our studios 00:27:45.33\00:27:48.13 and he didn't say anything, we showed him the radio, 00:27:48.16\00:27:50.50 this is where we're going to have radio. 00:27:50.53\00:27:52.77 And, you know, a few weeks later he rang up. 00:27:52.80\00:27:55.24 He says, I'm retiring, 00:27:55.27\00:27:56.67 I feel God is leading me to come and be involved. 00:27:56.71\00:28:01.04 And so I said okay. He came in as a volunteer then? 00:28:01.08\00:28:04.85 He wanted to come as a volunteer 00:28:04.88\00:28:06.25 and so we went out in faith, bought the equipment, 00:28:06.28\00:28:09.88 he came down and radio commenced 00:28:09.92\00:28:12.82 and it has just grown and grown and grown. 00:28:12.85\00:28:15.29 What year was that? 00:28:15.32\00:28:16.66 That was back four years ago... 00:28:16.69\00:28:18.63 Sorry two and a half years ago. 00:28:18.66\00:28:20.00 Okay. Yeah. 00:28:20.03\00:28:21.36 So it's grown. 00:28:21.40\00:28:22.73 He stayed for a period of time 00:28:22.76\00:28:24.93 and then we had another young man come. 00:28:24.97\00:28:27.64 He got married only a couple of months ago, 00:28:27.67\00:28:30.01 so when you get married your life changes. 00:28:30.04\00:28:32.34 And they are called by the Lord. 00:28:32.37\00:28:34.08 They are called by the Lord. 00:28:34.11\00:28:35.94 And Pokar Chansky was his name. 00:28:35.98\00:28:38.01 Australian people who listen to radio 00:28:38.05\00:28:39.55 would know his name. 00:28:39.58\00:28:40.92 He married a lovely young lady, Cali, 00:28:40.95\00:28:43.02 and they're going to go into another direction of work 00:28:43.05\00:28:45.75 and so Ettienne came on the scene, and I thought, 00:28:45.79\00:28:48.69 "Well, this man has a good grasp of scripture," 00:28:48.72\00:28:52.66 and so we've gone down that road. 00:28:52.69\00:28:55.50 And he has been part of your board or committee 00:28:55.53\00:28:57.10 as you call the 3ABN Australia board 00:28:57.13\00:28:59.13 for a number of years and has a good understanding 00:28:59.17\00:29:01.27 of the ministry there and that's important. 00:29:01.30\00:29:02.64 Amen, that is. 00:29:02.67\00:29:04.01 You know, I want to tell you 00:29:04.04\00:29:05.37 a little bit about LPON licenses. 00:29:05.41\00:29:06.81 They're only one watt. Is it LPON? 00:29:06.84\00:29:11.11 LPON, yeah. LPON, okay. 00:29:11.15\00:29:13.45 Low power open narrowcasting services. 00:29:13.48\00:29:16.15 So this would be like a church would have one of these? 00:29:16.18\00:29:18.65 You could have one on a church but there is a problem 00:29:18.69\00:29:21.09 because our Regulatory Authority, 00:29:21.12\00:29:23.36 the ACMA, the Australian Communications 00:29:23.39\00:29:25.49 and Media Authority, they regulate very closely. 00:29:25.53\00:29:29.30 You can't just get a license 00:29:29.33\00:29:32.03 and put up a transmitter and transmit. 00:29:32.07\00:29:34.27 It's all controlled by the other one 00:29:34.30\00:29:36.37 watt stations around you. 00:29:36.40\00:29:38.14 Where ATN comes from New Zealand, 00:29:38.17\00:29:39.84 you don't need a license for one watt, 00:29:39.87\00:29:42.24 so you're able to transmit. 00:29:42.28\00:29:43.88 Anybody could then just... 00:29:43.91\00:29:45.25 Yeah, yeah. 00:29:45.28\00:29:46.61 Just got to make sure your feed doesn't infringes somebody else 00:29:46.65\00:29:48.92 is currently broadcasting. 00:29:48.95\00:29:50.29 You drive around your car, have a listen, 00:29:50.32\00:29:51.95 if you find an open frequency 00:29:51.99\00:29:54.26 you can just start broadcasting. 00:29:54.29\00:29:56.16 But Australia is not like that. 00:29:56.19\00:29:57.53 No, Australia is very regulated. 00:29:57.56\00:29:59.29 So 3ABN Australia has one... 00:29:59.33\00:30:02.16 We have two IAM licenses and they're on the west coast, 00:30:02.20\00:30:06.63 they're 400 watts IAM licenses 00:30:06.67\00:30:09.67 and one of those has been going now, 00:30:09.70\00:30:11.71 it's seven years and people really enjoy 00:30:11.74\00:30:16.04 so much so we got emails coming from South Africa, 00:30:16.08\00:30:20.58 from Denmark It reaches South Africa. 00:30:20.62\00:30:21.95 It reaches there. 00:30:21.98\00:30:23.32 They say, we're listening to your station. 00:30:23.35\00:30:24.69 Incredible. 00:30:24.72\00:30:26.05 And generally that would travel 30, 20 miles 00:30:26.09\00:30:30.26 but in the evenings it goes wherever God wants it to go. 00:30:30.29\00:30:32.89 I was going to say, "God has taken that signal 00:30:32.93\00:30:34.46 and just bouncing along to whoever needs it. 00:30:34.50\00:30:36.10 Three hundred miles away they can be listening to it 00:30:36.13\00:30:38.13 in the evenings so it's pretty exciting. 00:30:38.17\00:30:40.44 So with an affiliate, 00:30:40.47\00:30:41.80 you were talking about affiliates, 00:30:41.84\00:30:43.17 how many affiliates do you have now for 3ABN Australia Radio? 00:30:43.20\00:30:45.67 We have probably around about 40 00:30:45.71\00:30:47.54 and it's about 85 stations 00:30:47.58\00:30:49.64 that we currently have registered on our website. 00:30:49.68\00:30:51.91 Amen. 00:30:51.95\00:30:53.28 So those are LPON stations or... 00:30:53.31\00:30:54.65 They are LPON except for one station 00:30:54.68\00:30:56.32 out of Bundaberg, 00:30:56.35\00:30:57.69 that is a commercial station 00:30:57.72\00:30:59.05 and we have an agreement with them 00:30:59.09\00:31:01.06 from Sunday night 8 pm till 6 am in Bundaberg. 00:31:01.09\00:31:05.49 We actually broadcast on this station 00:31:05.53\00:31:07.00 and that's a high powered station 00:31:07.03\00:31:09.46 and that's Sunday to Thursdays. 00:31:09.50\00:31:10.93 So what Ettienne was saying, 00:31:10.97\00:31:12.53 there are 85 transmitters out there re-broadcasting 3ABN 00:31:12.57\00:31:16.67 and actually there is more 00:31:16.71\00:31:18.04 because some we're working on 00:31:18.07\00:31:19.87 and that number has grown from a small number, 00:31:19.91\00:31:22.21 now it will be close to 100. 00:31:22.24\00:31:24.48 Yeah, probably around the 100 mark, yeah. 00:31:24.51\00:31:26.21 And I just want to say 00:31:26.25\00:31:27.58 that when 3ABN Radio came into Australia, 00:31:27.62\00:31:31.69 I met a young pastor name Pastor Christian Capacheno 00:31:31.72\00:31:35.09 and he was in Victoria 00:31:35.12\00:31:36.73 and he invite us over to share about 3ABN. 00:31:36.76\00:31:39.66 So I got him interested in radio 00:31:39.69\00:31:41.40 because he wanted to get TV going in his area, 00:31:41.43\00:31:44.23 but we said you can't 00:31:44.27\00:31:45.60 because the regulations are so strict. 00:31:45.63\00:31:48.17 So I remember driving to a radio station 00:31:48.20\00:31:50.71 and said this is what you can do. 00:31:50.74\00:31:52.41 And you know what? 00:31:52.44\00:31:53.78 We told him as much as we could, 00:31:53.81\00:31:55.18 he got a Faith FM, 00:31:55.21\00:31:57.71 they call it Faith FM going and he bought 10 licenses 00:31:57.75\00:32:02.82 and then he got more licenses, 00:32:02.85\00:32:04.65 he got 100 licenses 00:32:04.69\00:32:06.72 and he was broadcasting 3ABN USA. 00:32:06.76\00:32:10.43 They still do. Yeah. 00:32:10.46\00:32:12.03 They were doing about 80%. 00:32:12.06\00:32:14.13 It's now owned 00:32:14.16\00:32:15.50 by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. 00:32:15.53\00:32:17.80 They bought it from him 00:32:17.83\00:32:19.93 and they're now running in parallel with us 00:32:19.97\00:32:24.11 3ABN Australia and Faith FM. 00:32:24.14\00:32:28.74 They use... 00:32:28.78\00:32:30.11 Now it's getting lower, 00:32:30.15\00:32:31.48 they're starting to make more their own progress 00:32:31.51\00:32:32.98 but they still use 60 to 70% of 3ABN USA radio programming 00:32:33.01\00:32:38.32 and it's reaching across Australia. 00:32:38.35\00:32:39.89 So we've got a broad net 00:32:39.92\00:32:41.89 with 3ABN programming around Australia. 00:32:41.92\00:32:44.89 We often get phone calls from people 00:32:44.93\00:32:46.26 who are confused between Faith FM 00:32:46.29\00:32:47.86 because they hear 3ABN USA all the time 00:32:47.90\00:32:49.73 and then we ask, what was that program, 00:32:49.76\00:32:51.43 and then we have to go and figure out, 00:32:51.47\00:32:52.80 oh, no, that was Faith FM 00:32:52.83\00:32:54.17 but it's great that in Australia 00:32:54.20\00:32:55.54 which is quite a secular country 00:32:55.57\00:32:56.91 that you have a couple of options proclaiming 00:32:56.94\00:32:59.47 the three angels' messages there, 00:32:59.51\00:33:00.84 the everlasting gospel and they have a reach in place 00:33:00.88\00:33:03.78 where we don't have a reach quite often. 00:33:03.81\00:33:05.15 That's right. It's wonderful. 00:33:05.18\00:33:06.51 It's a real blessing. 00:33:06.55\00:33:07.88 So tell me some of the pros and cons 00:33:07.92\00:33:09.45 of the LPON you call it? 00:33:09.48\00:33:10.82 LPON. 00:33:10.85\00:33:12.19 So tell me the pros and cons of that, 00:33:12.22\00:33:13.56 and then if someone can't get that, 00:33:13.59\00:33:15.29 then how else will they be able to listen 00:33:15.32\00:33:17.09 to 3ABN Australia Radio. 00:33:17.13\00:33:19.13 Well, look LPON is great for smaller towns 00:33:19.16\00:33:21.46 or if you have a little community church 00:33:21.50\00:33:22.90 and we want to broadcast from it. 00:33:22.93\00:33:24.27 It's one watt. 00:33:24.30\00:33:25.63 What's the footprint real quick. 00:33:25.67\00:33:27.00 How far does that go? 00:33:27.04\00:33:28.37 Well, it's legally 00:33:28.40\00:33:29.74 it has complete open audibility, 00:33:29.77\00:33:33.58 sorry, for about two miles. 00:33:33.61\00:33:36.44 Okay, so very small. It's very small. 00:33:36.48\00:33:38.31 But the higher you go, 00:33:38.35\00:33:39.68 the further they will reach the footprint. 00:33:39.71\00:33:41.05 Height is might. Yeah. 00:33:41.08\00:33:42.42 Okay. 00:33:42.45\00:33:43.79 So you have that so if you're in a small town, 00:33:43.82\00:33:45.15 you can drive around, 00:33:45.19\00:33:46.52 you can be in your home and you can listen to it, 00:33:46.55\00:33:47.89 but if you get into bigger places, 00:33:47.92\00:33:49.26 you know, people travel a little bit further typically 00:33:49.29\00:33:51.39 so they will only have coverage for a small area 00:33:51.43\00:33:53.43 and then it will drop out. 00:33:53.46\00:33:54.90 So what we recommend 00:33:54.93\00:33:56.26 is they either download the 3ABN app, 00:33:56.30\00:33:59.53 now they can get television and radio on this 00:33:59.57\00:34:01.24 so they can stream all our radio stations 00:34:01.27\00:34:04.17 including 3ABN Australia and 3ABN USA. 00:34:04.21\00:34:06.81 The other option is you can go 00:34:06.84\00:34:08.18 to what they call TuneIn Radio app, 00:34:08.21\00:34:10.51 a lot of people have TuneIn. 00:34:10.55\00:34:12.68 We have it. Yeah, I use it all the time. 00:34:12.71\00:34:14.68 I'll just have some easy access buttons on my phone 00:34:14.72\00:34:16.95 on the front screen 00:34:16.99\00:34:18.32 and then I can just tune into that 00:34:18.35\00:34:19.69 or even Faith FM sometimes or 3ABN USA, 00:34:19.72\00:34:22.86 so that's a great way, 00:34:22.89\00:34:24.23 and the other option is you can actually 00:34:24.26\00:34:25.59 just go online with the URL 00:34:25.63\00:34:27.66 and I think we'll post that on the screen very shortly 00:34:27.70\00:34:30.87 and you can actually then just listen 00:34:30.90\00:34:32.37 and stream the program on that. 00:34:32.40\00:34:34.40 So what we actually do is, I've got a little... 00:34:34.44\00:34:36.64 So why don't we read that off 00:34:36.67\00:34:38.01 so we can see on the lower third here. 00:34:38.04\00:34:39.54 So we have 3ABNAustralia.org.au/radio/list 00:34:39.57\00:34:46.05 That's correct. Yes. 00:34:46.08\00:34:47.42 And I actually have a little app on my phone here 00:34:47.45\00:34:49.05 that I can go just online and check 00:34:49.08\00:34:50.49 and see how many people are online at times, 00:34:50.52\00:34:52.15 you know, so it's great to see. 00:34:52.19\00:34:54.02 So anybody listening through the internet 00:34:54.06\00:34:56.02 whether it be on L app or on TuneIn app 00:34:56.06\00:34:59.89 or just via internet browser, 00:34:59.93\00:35:02.23 we can see how many people 00:35:02.26\00:35:03.60 are on at the same time, that's fantastic. 00:35:03.63\00:35:04.97 Amen. 00:35:05.00\00:35:06.33 You know, and that is a neat thing of radio 00:35:06.37\00:35:07.70 because we're talking again about the relevancy of radio, 00:35:07.74\00:35:09.54 you know, you think of the... 00:35:09.57\00:35:11.11 I'm just, call me old timer radio, 00:35:11.14\00:35:12.47 I still have one, so I guess I'm grading myself, 00:35:12.51\00:35:15.18 but really radio can be listened to now 00:35:15.21\00:35:17.41 on our mobile devices which is really neat 00:35:17.45\00:35:19.68 because again for those 00:35:19.71\00:35:21.05 that may have data restrictions, 00:35:21.08\00:35:22.58 I don't know if you do in Australia 00:35:22.62\00:35:23.95 on the mobile devices 00:35:23.99\00:35:25.32 you know, radio requires a lot less data to stream 00:35:25.35\00:35:28.12 than if you're trying to watch television, 00:35:28.16\00:35:29.89 so there is a lot of accessibility 00:35:29.92\00:35:32.26 via mobile device as well. 00:35:32.29\00:35:33.63 Yes, you want to say something? 00:35:33.66\00:35:35.00 Yeah, I want to say something 00:35:35.03\00:35:36.36 because we have an app too on our phone 00:35:36.40\00:35:38.23 when we travel, 00:35:38.27\00:35:39.60 Australia is a lot of miles and you're away 00:35:39.63\00:35:42.27 but when we go to the app, 00:35:42.30\00:35:44.14 we put on the 3ABN music channel. 00:35:44.17\00:35:45.94 Now that's just come on and folks 00:35:45.97\00:35:47.58 that is absolutely fantastic. 00:35:47.61\00:35:49.58 Especially when you're driving, 00:35:49.61\00:35:50.95 if you just wanna listen 00:35:50.98\00:35:52.31 to some good music that's uplifting, 00:35:52.35\00:35:55.88 go on there and listen to it. 00:35:55.92\00:35:57.99 Yeah, for sure. 00:35:58.02\00:35:59.35 So talk to us about the intent and the content 00:35:59.39\00:36:02.86 because what you put as far as content 00:36:02.89\00:36:05.23 on 3ABN Australia Radio is so vital. 00:36:05.26\00:36:07.46 I know we faced 00:36:07.50\00:36:08.83 that with television and radio here. 00:36:08.86\00:36:10.67 You want to be careful what content you're giving. 00:36:10.70\00:36:13.37 So talk to us about that. 00:36:13.40\00:36:14.77 Look, I don't think our vision has changed much 00:36:14.80\00:36:16.44 from Danny Shelton 00:36:16.47\00:36:17.81 who started 3ABN television many, many years ago, 00:36:17.84\00:36:20.64 so 32 years or whatever it is now. 00:36:20.68\00:36:23.28 So he had this dream 00:36:23.31\00:36:24.65 about counteracting the counterfeit. 00:36:24.68\00:36:26.65 I think it's our responsibility to give the message 00:36:26.68\00:36:28.95 that God has given us for this planet at this time. 00:36:28.98\00:36:33.05 And I actually just wanted to differentiate 00:36:33.09\00:36:34.66 that because quite often people think, 00:36:34.69\00:36:36.02 "Well the gospel is the gospel, 00:36:36.06\00:36:37.39 it's been the gospel since the reformation 00:36:37.43\00:36:38.76 since the 16th century," 00:36:38.79\00:36:40.30 but it has got a different emphasis. 00:36:40.33\00:36:42.60 And people say listen, 00:36:42.63\00:36:43.97 I preach the gospel of the reformers 00:36:44.00\00:36:45.53 and I preach the gospel 00:36:45.57\00:36:46.90 of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 00:36:46.94\00:36:48.27 it's one and the same thing. 00:36:48.30\00:36:49.64 There is a difference. 00:36:49.67\00:36:51.01 And the difference is basically 00:36:51.04\00:36:52.37 that we believe the three angels' messages 00:36:52.41\00:36:53.74 which is in your name 3ABN Australia 3ABN Radio, 00:36:53.78\00:36:58.05 in that name God gave a message with three angels. 00:36:58.08\00:37:01.32 There is a first angel, a second angel, 00:37:01.35\00:37:02.92 and the third angel but the first angel... 00:37:02.95\00:37:04.45 Maybe we can go to the scriptures 00:37:04.49\00:37:05.82 and let's have a look at that. 00:37:05.85\00:37:07.19 The first angel actually brings the everlasting gospel 00:37:07.22\00:37:10.66 but it gives a timeframe or framework for it. 00:37:10.69\00:37:15.23 We're in Revelation 14? We're in Revelation 14, yes. 00:37:15.26\00:37:18.37 You've been there before obviously. 00:37:18.40\00:37:20.44 Now the three angels' messages 00:37:20.47\00:37:22.00 actually start in Revelation 14:6-12 00:37:22.04\00:37:26.34 but it actually doesn't end there 00:37:26.37\00:37:27.71 because what happens 00:37:27.74\00:37:29.08 is the harvest follows subsequent 00:37:29.11\00:37:31.05 to the messages so the messages 00:37:31.08\00:37:32.41 are to prepare people for the coming of Christ. 00:37:32.45\00:37:34.82 Now if you want to know when the harvest is, 00:37:34.85\00:37:37.19 Jesus said that the harvest is the end of the world 00:37:37.22\00:37:40.39 and we can get that in Matthew 13:39 00:37:40.42\00:37:42.72 where Jesus makes that distinction very clearly 00:37:42.76\00:37:44.83 when He speaks of the harvest. 00:37:44.86\00:37:46.19 And the harvest is mentioned from about verse 14 onwards. 00:37:46.23\00:37:48.80 But just reading from Revelation 14:6, it says, 00:37:48.83\00:37:52.60 "Then I saw another angel flying 00:37:52.63\00:37:54.57 in the midst of heaven having the everlasting gospel." 00:37:54.60\00:37:57.94 So it's the gospel, 00:37:57.97\00:37:59.31 the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. 00:37:59.34\00:38:00.88 The word gospel obviously means good news. 00:38:00.91\00:38:02.48 It's good news for everybody 00:38:02.51\00:38:04.05 that Christ has come to redeem and save us, 00:38:04.08\00:38:06.18 and then it says 00:38:06.21\00:38:07.55 "To preach to those who dwell on the earth 00:38:07.58\00:38:08.98 and then it says that without exclusion 00:38:09.02\00:38:11.05 to every nation, tribe, tongue, 00:38:11.09\00:38:12.45 and people saying with a loud voice," 00:38:12.49\00:38:14.82 so this is not a squeak, it's not a whisper... 00:38:14.86\00:38:16.52 It's not quiet. It's not quiet. 00:38:16.56\00:38:17.89 It's quite loud, 00:38:17.93\00:38:19.89 and it says then fear God and give glory to Him, 00:38:19.93\00:38:22.60 and then the next one is I want to bring our attention to. 00:38:22.63\00:38:25.07 It says, "For the hour of His Judgment has come." 00:38:25.10\00:38:29.07 So what we're doing or what we're seeing here 00:38:29.10\00:38:31.17 is the message proclaimed during a judgment hour setting. 00:38:31.21\00:38:35.58 Now the judgment hour precedes the harvest. 00:38:35.61\00:38:38.31 So if you give the same message as the reformers gave us, 00:38:38.35\00:38:40.68 not the same message as ours 00:38:40.72\00:38:42.05 because the emphasis is different. 00:38:42.08\00:38:43.79 Now, there is a thing in the Bible known... 00:38:43.82\00:38:45.85 There's a concept known as present truth. 00:38:45.89\00:38:48.16 Now, we don't preach the message of Noah. 00:38:48.19\00:38:49.79 He was a preacher of righteousness 00:38:49.82\00:38:51.16 and so are we. 00:38:51.19\00:38:52.53 But his message was, "If you want to be saved, 00:38:52.56\00:38:53.90 get into the ark." 00:38:53.93\00:38:55.26 We don't say get into the ark now although 00:38:55.30\00:38:56.93 we can use it in a symbolic way. 00:38:56.97\00:38:58.60 So that was a truth for their time. 00:38:58.63\00:39:00.60 In Jesus' day, of course it was, 00:39:00.64\00:39:02.34 He is the Messiah and they look at Him and go, 00:39:02.37\00:39:04.11 well, He's just an ordinary peasant looking man, 00:39:04.14\00:39:06.17 how can He be the Messiah, 00:39:06.21\00:39:07.58 'cause they were expecting someone with kingly authority 00:39:07.61\00:39:10.11 that will conquer the Romans and they misunderstood Him, 00:39:10.15\00:39:13.11 but yet that was where they had their vote, 00:39:13.15\00:39:15.22 whether they will accept the Messiah or not. 00:39:15.25\00:39:17.15 Now in our time we're to prepare 00:39:17.19\00:39:18.65 for the second coming of Christ 00:39:18.69\00:39:20.72 but it says that the harvest won't come 00:39:20.76\00:39:22.49 until this maturity. 00:39:22.52\00:39:24.56 Now, the reformers actually had a message 00:39:24.59\00:39:26.49 where they preached to prepare people to be... 00:39:26.53\00:39:31.13 How can I put it? 00:39:31.17\00:39:32.50 They die in Christ 00:39:32.53\00:39:33.87 and they get ready for the resurrection. 00:39:33.90\00:39:35.24 They basically were preparing for the underground to heaven 00:39:35.27\00:39:37.51 so to speak, six foot under. 00:39:37.54\00:39:38.87 That makes sense. Yeah. 00:39:38.91\00:39:40.24 But we're actually to prepare for translation. 00:39:40.28\00:39:42.58 Now, the word Seventh-day Adventist, 00:39:42.61\00:39:44.05 obviously seventh day talks about 00:39:44.08\00:39:45.41 the emphasis of the Sabbath, 00:39:45.45\00:39:46.92 that's a symbol that we're not saved by works 00:39:46.95\00:39:48.88 that we rest in Christ because it's a day of rest, 00:39:48.92\00:39:51.72 but it's also a sign that God is the one who sanctifies 00:39:51.75\00:39:55.26 and makes us holy, as also sign of creation, 00:39:55.29\00:39:57.93 a sign that He recreates us. 00:39:57.96\00:39:59.93 So when it comes to the second part of that, 00:39:59.96\00:40:01.96 so we have the Sabbath 00:40:02.00\00:40:03.33 but we also have the Adventist's path. 00:40:03.37\00:40:05.03 Adventist's path is for people 00:40:05.07\00:40:06.47 who believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ. 00:40:06.50\00:40:08.67 That's right. Correct. 00:40:08.70\00:40:10.04 We're not preparing for death. 00:40:10.07\00:40:12.11 We believe that we should be in the generation 00:40:12.14\00:40:13.94 who are preparing for translation. 00:40:13.98\00:40:15.78 So the emphasis of the gospel is very different. 00:40:15.81\00:40:19.28 You know, and I think it's very important for us 00:40:19.31\00:40:21.28 as Seventh-day Adventist, 00:40:21.32\00:40:23.02 if we are to present the message 00:40:23.05\00:40:24.39 that we understand our own identity as a people, 00:40:24.42\00:40:28.62 we understand our mission, and also our message. 00:40:28.66\00:40:31.99 Now we believe our message is the everlasting gospel 00:40:32.03\00:40:34.53 in the judgment hour setting, that is our message. 00:40:34.56\00:40:37.00 If you want to know our identity, 00:40:37.03\00:40:39.30 we just go a few verses back in Revelation 10. 00:40:39.33\00:40:42.50 Now Revelation 10 00:40:42.54\00:40:44.31 actually talks about this mighty angel 00:40:44.34\00:40:46.61 that comes down from heaven. 00:40:46.64\00:40:48.14 It's interesting whenever you read in Revelation 00:40:48.18\00:40:49.84 when the mighty angel comes down from heaven, 00:40:49.88\00:40:51.41 it's got a very, very important message to bring. 00:40:51.45\00:40:53.42 We see it in Revelation 18 as well. 00:40:53.45\00:40:55.45 And if you study it with attention, 00:40:55.48\00:40:57.35 it repeats the three angels' messages 00:40:57.39\00:40:59.15 but under great authority and great power 00:40:59.19\00:41:02.02 and this angel is even louder than the first angel. 00:41:02.06\00:41:05.53 So this angel comes down from heaven 00:41:05.56\00:41:07.40 and it says that he is clothed with the cloud, 00:41:07.43\00:41:09.33 he's got a rainbow around his head, 00:41:09.36\00:41:11.13 and then it says in verse 2 there 00:41:11.17\00:41:13.23 that he had a little book open in his hand 00:41:13.27\00:41:15.40 and then he set his right foot on the sea, 00:41:15.44\00:41:16.87 his left foot on the land, 00:41:16.91\00:41:18.24 and he cry out with a loud voice. 00:41:18.27\00:41:20.88 Now when he cried with a loud voice, 00:41:20.91\00:41:22.74 there was another emphasis, another voice that came. 00:41:22.78\00:41:25.95 It says seven thunders uttered their voice. 00:41:25.98\00:41:28.42 Now, what happens as John the Revelator 00:41:28.45\00:41:29.92 is about to write down what the seven thunders said 00:41:29.95\00:41:31.95 and it said now seal it up, you can't... 00:41:31.99\00:41:33.46 Don't write that, seal it up. 00:41:33.49\00:41:35.59 We believe that's events 00:41:35.62\00:41:37.13 that took place under the first and second angel's message. 00:41:37.16\00:41:39.93 But the sealing up should remind us of something 00:41:39.96\00:41:42.66 because there was another book 00:41:42.70\00:41:44.03 that was sealed up in the Bible as well 00:41:44.07\00:41:45.40 which was to be unsealed at the end of time. 00:41:45.43\00:41:48.17 So the sealing up first gets our mind 00:41:48.20\00:41:49.80 or our attention to that 00:41:49.84\00:41:51.34 and then we read in verse 5 00:41:51.37\00:41:52.71 which says the angel whom I saw standing on the sea 00:41:52.74\00:41:54.98 and on the land raised up his hand to heaven 00:41:55.01\00:41:57.11 and swore by him who lives forever. 00:41:57.15\00:41:59.21 So we have a sealing up, 00:41:59.25\00:42:00.68 we have an angel that raises his hand, 00:42:00.72\00:42:03.18 and then swears by Him who lives forever. 00:42:03.22\00:42:05.39 Now, that's supposed to take our mind back 00:42:05.42\00:42:07.02 to the Book of Daniel. 00:42:07.06\00:42:08.49 It was in Daniel 12 we also have this man, 00:42:08.52\00:42:11.09 the man there is actually the angel Gabriel 00:42:11.13\00:42:13.50 who then lifts up both his hands and sways. 00:42:13.53\00:42:16.26 But this angel can only lift the one hand 00:42:16.30\00:42:18.03 because there is now a book that was closed 00:42:18.07\00:42:19.93 that's now open in his hand, 00:42:19.97\00:42:21.70 that is referring to the sealing, 00:42:21.74\00:42:23.14 it's unsealed and he swears by Him 00:42:23.17\00:42:25.91 who lives for ever and ever. 00:42:25.94\00:42:27.68 Now, the angel who swore with both hands in Daniel 12 00:42:27.71\00:42:33.38 said that there will be time, times, and half a time, 00:42:33.42\00:42:35.88 so it is a prophetic time period. 00:42:35.92\00:42:38.85 Sure is. 00:42:38.89\00:42:40.22 This angel here if we read with attention in verse 7, 00:42:40.26\00:42:44.03 it says... 00:42:44.06\00:42:45.39 Sorry 9:6 it says, 00:42:45.43\00:42:47.66 "And he swore by Him who lives for ever and ever, 00:42:47.70\00:42:49.43 who created the heavens and the things 00:42:49.46\00:42:51.60 that are in it, in the earth and the things that are in it, 00:42:51.63\00:42:54.24 and the sea and the things that are in it, 00:42:54.27\00:42:56.00 that there should be delay no longer," 00:42:56.04\00:42:58.21 or if you look at the King James says, 00:42:58.24\00:42:59.57 "Should be time no longer." 00:42:59.61\00:43:00.98 Now, the angel is swearing, 00:43:01.01\00:43:03.01 he has got this book open in his hand, 00:43:03.04\00:43:04.48 one hand to heaven and it's now that time period 00:43:04.51\00:43:08.35 that unlocks the book 00:43:08.38\00:43:09.98 and the time should be no longer... 00:43:10.02\00:43:11.79 This is now happening at the end of that time period, 00:43:11.82\00:43:13.76 that prophetic time period. 00:43:13.79\00:43:15.32 So what happens is then the John the Revelator is told, 00:43:15.36\00:43:18.43 take that little book out of the angel's hand and eat it. 00:43:18.46\00:43:20.83 And as he takes it from the angel, the angel says, 00:43:20.86\00:43:22.66 "Listen, when you're going to eat it, 00:43:22.70\00:43:24.33 it will be bitter in your stomach 00:43:24.37\00:43:26.10 but it will be sweet as honey in your mouth." 00:43:26.13\00:43:27.80 So he eats it and he gets exactly that experience 00:43:27.84\00:43:30.41 whereby eating the Book of Daniel 00:43:30.44\00:43:32.31 which is a prophetic book, 00:43:32.34\00:43:34.41 there is somehow a sweet experience 00:43:34.44\00:43:36.75 when they eat it and they study the book 00:43:36.78\00:43:38.71 but they experience something very bitter, 00:43:38.75\00:43:40.58 they call the bitter disappointment. 00:43:40.62\00:43:41.95 That's right. 00:43:41.98\00:43:43.32 You know, and then the Bible 00:43:43.35\00:43:44.69 from time to time God's followers, 00:43:44.72\00:43:46.05 God's people have had times 00:43:46.09\00:43:47.82 when they had bitter experiences. 00:43:47.86\00:43:49.72 For example, we know that in Jesus' day 00:43:49.76\00:43:51.39 they thought He would be the one 00:43:51.43\00:43:52.76 that would conquer the Romans 00:43:52.79\00:43:54.13 and on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24, 00:43:54.16\00:43:57.83 the disciples are walking and they said, 00:43:57.87\00:44:00.20 we thought He would be the one 00:44:00.24\00:44:01.80 that will set us free and would redeem us. 00:44:01.84\00:44:03.94 So really the intent for 3ABN, I mean all the 3ABN as a whole, 00:44:03.97\00:44:08.01 the whole family of networks 00:44:08.04\00:44:09.38 but specifically radio today is to spread 00:44:09.41\00:44:11.78 the three angels' message, right? 00:44:11.81\00:44:14.62 And we're in time unheralded before, 00:44:14.65\00:44:17.85 I mean we're in unprecedented time, 00:44:17.89\00:44:19.55 that's what I'm thinking of 00:44:19.59\00:44:21.09 where I think we only have 00:44:21.12\00:44:22.49 a small window of opportunity left 00:44:22.52\00:44:24.79 where we can continue to spread this gospel 00:44:24.83\00:44:26.49 and that's what you guys are doing and it 00:44:26.53\00:44:27.90 is just fantastic. 00:44:27.93\00:44:29.26 And, of course, the mission is we got to prophesy again 00:44:29.30\00:44:31.03 which is the last finishing chapter, 00:44:31.07\00:44:32.47 chapter 10 there. 00:44:32.50\00:44:33.84 Because we wanted to get to some of the content. 00:44:33.87\00:44:35.20 Go ahead, John, 'cause I have a couple of clips 00:44:35.24\00:44:36.81 that we want to get you and that's some of the content 00:44:36.84\00:44:39.31 so maybe set that up for us a little bit 00:44:39.34\00:44:40.81 where we're getting ready to listen to. 00:44:40.84\00:44:42.98 Now, it's interesting on television 00:44:43.01\00:44:44.38 we're actually just going to go to graphic here, 00:44:44.41\00:44:46.05 but you actually get to listen to 00:44:46.08\00:44:47.42 some clips of 3ABN Australia Radio program 00:44:47.45\00:44:50.35 and that's coming up. 00:44:50.39\00:44:51.72 That's right. 00:44:51.75\00:44:53.09 So we're obviously making programs 00:44:53.12\00:44:54.46 and we're trying to reach people in a variety of ways. 00:44:54.49\00:44:55.96 This one is a young lady who actually quite often gets 00:44:55.99\00:44:58.33 in front of young people in schools 00:44:58.36\00:44:59.69 and she presents a first person narrative of Bible stories 00:44:59.73\00:45:03.00 and she has gleaned the information from the Bible 00:45:03.03\00:45:04.77 and the Spirit of Prophecy, 00:45:04.80\00:45:06.13 so we had some recordings with them before, 00:45:06.17\00:45:07.60 how can we just help full brain interaction? 00:45:07.64\00:45:11.54 Now, left brain, right brain, 00:45:11.57\00:45:12.91 so we've added a little bit of sound effects 00:45:12.94\00:45:14.28 and a little bit of music to it. 00:45:14.31\00:45:15.64 Good. So we just have a clip now. 00:45:15.68\00:45:17.01 What's the name of the program? 00:45:17.05\00:45:18.38 The program is Family Story Time. 00:45:18.41\00:45:19.91 Nice. Okay? 00:45:19.95\00:45:21.28 Yeah. Well let's go to that now. 00:45:21.32\00:45:22.65 Okay. 00:45:22.68\00:45:24.02 Welcome to Family Story Time with Karlie Fraser. 00:45:26.22\00:45:29.52 Join us as we step back in time to hear about Pilate's wife. 00:45:29.56\00:45:35.50 Hi, I'm Pontius Pilate's wife 00:45:35.53\00:45:38.27 and I would like to invite you on a journey with me 00:45:38.30\00:45:40.34 back to the Passover weekend 00:45:40.37\00:45:42.50 to maybe share a bit of a different perspective with you. 00:45:42.54\00:45:45.87 Come join me. 00:45:45.91\00:45:47.24 Take it straight to him. It's critical. 00:45:51.08\00:45:55.58 We must have nothing to do with this man. 00:45:55.62\00:46:01.09 Have you ever had a dream about someone 00:46:01.12\00:46:03.63 and as a result felt a certain way towards them 00:46:03.66\00:46:07.23 when you wake up? 00:46:07.26\00:46:08.60 Sent to this earth to save humanity, 00:46:08.63\00:46:11.83 I saw him standing on trial in the judgment hall 00:46:11.87\00:46:15.67 with His hands bound behind Him like a criminal. 00:46:15.70\00:46:19.57 I saw Him amidst to Herod 00:46:19.61\00:46:21.04 and his henchmen being beaten and mocked. 00:46:21.08\00:46:25.65 I can still hear the echo of accusations 00:46:25.68\00:46:29.45 by the priests and Jewish leaders. 00:46:29.48\00:46:31.89 We have a law and by our law, 00:46:31.92\00:46:36.22 He ought to die. 00:46:36.26\00:46:39.76 I saw my husband after declaring, 00:46:39.79\00:46:42.33 he found no fault in Jesus. 00:46:42.36\00:46:45.67 Order him to be flogged with a lead-tipped whip. 00:46:45.70\00:46:50.41 Jesus stood there back covered in lacerations 00:46:50.44\00:46:55.24 and face shining with an incomprehensible peace. 00:46:55.28\00:47:01.02 And Pilate sat there in the judgment seat 00:47:01.05\00:47:05.22 and sentenced an innocent man to death. 00:47:05.25\00:47:11.36 Nice. That's beautiful. That's an incredible program. 00:47:11.39\00:47:14.03 Yes, so that's the first part of the program. 00:47:14.06\00:47:15.76 Now, she had these programs pre-prepared 00:47:15.80\00:47:20.07 so some of them run 18 minutes, some of them run 10 minutes 00:47:20.10\00:47:22.50 depending on this little sermonette 00:47:22.54\00:47:23.87 on how long time she has available, 00:47:23.91\00:47:25.64 so what we did, we tried to create a half hour program 00:47:25.67\00:47:28.14 so our intent was how do we expand these 00:47:28.18\00:47:31.11 and I met a couple of lovely guys 00:47:31.15\00:47:32.48 who've got a podcast on 00:47:32.51\00:47:34.22 which they call after the sermon podcast 00:47:34.25\00:47:36.95 so I ask these guys the first year 00:47:36.99\00:47:39.79 theology students at Avondale College, 00:47:39.82\00:47:41.72 I said would you guys mind to come 00:47:41.76\00:47:43.09 and do a Bible study on each of the topics 00:47:43.12\00:47:44.59 that she presented 00:47:44.63\00:47:45.96 so with the second clip is actually these guys 00:47:45.99\00:47:47.50 just doing a little bit of introduction, 00:47:47.53\00:47:48.86 we've added a little bit of sound effects 00:47:48.90\00:47:50.23 to that as well so you'll hear. 00:47:50.27\00:47:51.60 And this would fill for your half hour slot. 00:47:51.63\00:47:53.13 That takes us to full half hour. 00:47:53.17\00:47:54.50 Sometimes a five minute study, sometimes a 12 minute study. 00:47:54.54\00:47:56.47 That's a great idea, I like it. 00:47:56.50\00:47:58.17 Okay, let's go to that clip now. 00:47:58.21\00:48:00.01 Let's join Christopher and Jessie 00:48:00.04\00:48:01.84 as they open the Bible to discuss today's story. 00:48:01.88\00:48:05.81 Thank you Karlie for that inspirational story 00:48:05.85\00:48:08.18 about Pilate's wife. 00:48:08.22\00:48:09.72 Now let's delve into the Bible 00:48:09.75\00:48:11.69 to learn more about Jesus Christ the Messiah. 00:48:11.72\00:48:14.52 Hey, Chris, when you imagine a king, 00:48:14.56\00:48:16.62 what image do you first see in your mind? 00:48:16.66\00:48:19.36 Well, I see a king sitting on a throne 00:48:19.39\00:48:22.33 wearing a royal crown. 00:48:22.36\00:48:24.47 His shoulders are probably back. 00:48:24.50\00:48:26.17 His chest is out, chin up, 00:48:26.20\00:48:28.20 and he holds a royal sceptre in his hand. 00:48:28.24\00:48:31.07 Now with that sceptre he's probably controlling 00:48:31.11\00:48:33.17 an enormous army riding into battle, 00:48:33.21\00:48:35.64 a magnificent white horse. 00:48:35.68\00:48:40.15 Well, that idea is very similar 00:48:40.18\00:48:42.32 to how the Jews thought the Messiah would be. 00:48:42.35\00:48:44.89 They thought he would be a king and ride into Jerusalem 00:48:44.92\00:48:47.69 as a conqueror saving them from the Romans 00:48:47.72\00:48:50.23 and establishing a new kingdom that would last forever. 00:48:50.26\00:48:55.46 Okay, that sounds really good but who was this Messiah? 00:48:55.50\00:48:59.33 Well, the first time we ever hear about the Messiah 00:48:59.37\00:49:01.74 is way back in Genesis 3 00:49:01.77\00:49:03.81 right after Adam and Eve have eaten the forbidden fruit 00:49:03.84\00:49:06.88 and sin has entered the world. 00:49:06.91\00:49:09.04 Well, that's incredible.
