Hello friends. Welcome to 3ABN
Today. My name is John Lomacang
00:01:07.40\00:01:10.33
but you know that if you've
been here before. If you haven't
00:01:10.37\00:01:13.07
Remember this channel.
We believe it's the channel
00:01:13.10\00:01:15.47
ordained of God as we continue
going and growing getting ready
00:01:15.50\00:01:19.11
for the coming of Jesus. Today
is a very thought-provoking
00:01:19.14\00:01:22.68
program. If you are anyone who
knows anything about media. You
00:01:22.71\00:01:26.41
may not know that you know
anything about media but if you
00:01:26.45\00:01:28.52
have a cell phone, if you've
been on the internet, you might
00:01:28.55\00:01:31.35
have a television in your house.
How strange is that in this day
00:01:31.39\00:01:34.06
and age. You may have been
outside where you've heard other
00:01:34.09\00:01:36.59
sounds that came from
speakers or cars or you've seen
00:01:36.62\00:01:39.76
television screens and massive
billboards and you may have even
00:01:39.79\00:01:43.53
been a victim of some kind of
false advertising. This program
00:01:43.57\00:01:47.44
is about how to protect yourself
from all the wrong lights and
00:01:47.47\00:01:51.37
our guests today are from Little
Light Studios. You'll find out
00:01:51.41\00:01:54.61
in just a moment who they are.
But thank you for your prayers
00:01:54.64\00:01:57.21
and your financial support
of this network as we continue
00:01:57.25\00:02:00.02
going and growing getting ready
for the coming of Jesus. Well
00:02:00.05\00:02:03.39
today let me introduce our
guests to you. I know who they
00:02:03.42\00:02:06.89
are already so I won't introduce
them to myself. But to my right
00:02:06.92\00:02:10.23
is Brittny, good to
have you here Brittny.
00:02:10.26\00:02:11.59
Thank you for having me.
00:02:11.63\00:02:13.23
I want to know your name. Now
your name is French. Just give
00:02:13.26\00:02:16.56
me the right accent. How does
that sound in French. What is it
00:02:16.60\00:02:18.97
My full name or my last
name. (Your full name) Brittny
00:02:19.00\00:02:22.00
Desvarieux.
00:02:22.04\00:02:24.34
Okay thank you for telling
me what that is. I want to honor
00:02:24.37\00:02:25.97
your name because people really
slaughter mine. Good to have you
00:02:26.01\00:02:28.34
here today and what do you
do for Little Light Studios?
00:02:28.38\00:02:30.41
So I'm the communications
director and so I mainly work
00:02:30.45\00:02:33.25
with the social media and just
our weekly newsletter that we
00:02:33.28\00:02:37.29
send out to our donors and just
communicating what's going on
00:02:37.32\00:02:39.69
within the studios or within our
ministry to the outside world.
00:02:39.72\00:02:47.30
Okay. We'll get back to you and
we'll open that up a little bit
00:02:47.33\00:02:50.77
more as time goes on. Welcome
back Scott. (Thank you) And your
00:02:50.80\00:02:54.70
last name? (Mayer) You are one
of the veterans with the Little
00:02:54.74\00:02:58.54
Light Studio. Give us a little
bit about what you do at the
00:02:58.57\00:03:00.91
Little Light.
00:03:00.94\00:03:02.28
I've been there a little
while and it's been an absolute
00:03:02.31\00:03:04.65
privilege to see how God has
really worked with this ministry
00:03:04.68\00:03:08.58
and really given us a voice with
the young people of the church
00:03:08.62\00:03:12.12
and even beyond that. And so
it's been neat to see all the
00:03:12.15\00:03:16.96
different people that have come
on board. We're up to 10 now
00:03:16.99\00:03:21.13
and it's really neat. So we've
got quite a few different minds
00:03:21.16\00:03:26.40
and we just like this
collaborative you know spirit
00:03:26.43\00:03:29.50
of just working together to
create something that inspires
00:03:29.54\00:03:32.67
somebody to do something. So
I feel it's a privilege. I get a
00:03:32.71\00:03:36.64
chance to edit, shoot, create
sets. I kind of wear a bunch of
00:03:36.68\00:03:41.05
hats so I got a
bit of that going on.
00:03:41.08\00:03:44.05
Okay well welcome back. (Thank
you) And we have Brad Burnham
00:03:44.09\00:03:46.82
Am I saying that correctly?
(That's correct) And you are in
00:03:46.86\00:03:49.86
what position with Little Light?
00:03:49.89\00:03:51.23
Producer, editor, whatever
they tell me to do, but mostly
00:03:51.26\00:03:55.20
producing and editing.
00:03:55.23\00:03:56.56
All right, well good to have you
here and you're one of the newer
00:03:56.60\00:03:58.70
members on the scene. (Correct)
All right. Before Brittny or
00:03:58.73\00:04:02.40
after.
00:04:02.44\00:04:04.54
Ooo I think I came after, yeah.
00:04:04.57\00:04:05.91
Okay so you're really the
new kid on the block at least on
00:04:05.94\00:04:08.84
this program. And Keith.
Say your last name for us.
00:04:08.88\00:04:14.62
(Detwieler) Detwieler. What
nationality? Is that German?
00:04:14.65\00:04:16.79
Close. It's Swiss and if you
go back to the old country, it
00:04:16.82\00:04:23.79
would actually, be
pronounced Dotvieler.
00:04:23.83\00:04:26.80
See we're getting all the proper
pronunciations. I appreciate
00:04:26.83\00:04:29.76
that but did I do yours right?
(Absolutely) And how many ways
00:04:29.80\00:04:32.00
can you say, Mayer?
00:04:32.03\00:04:33.37
People butcher that all the time
Maer. John Maer has ruined my
00:04:33.40\00:04:38.61
name. But it's like Metro
Goldwyn Mayer or Oscar Mayer,
00:04:38.64\00:04:42.88
like that.
00:04:42.91\00:04:44.25
Yes you've been famous
before your time. (Hopefully)
00:04:44.28\00:04:46.41
You know I have watched some
of your product and I've really
00:04:46.45\00:04:50.82
been blessed by the collective,
the collaborative efforts to
00:04:50.85\00:04:56.02
really keep not only the
young minds safe but minds in
00:04:56.06\00:04:59.49
general I mean
00:04:59.53\00:05:01.36
at ASI, at general conference,
I've gone by your booth, I've
00:05:01.63\00:05:04.07
watched your programs and I
think you guys really are on the
00:05:04.43\00:05:07.64
cutting edge when it comes to
addressing a lot of the issues
00:05:07.67\00:05:10.04
that we might say are
contemporary issues today.
00:05:10.07\00:05:13.61
Because media could be good,
could be bad depending on your
00:05:13.64\00:05:18.21
dosage of it and what it does
to you. So I'll start with you
00:05:18.25\00:05:20.68
Scott. Since you've been here
and you have a little bit of
00:05:20.72\00:05:24.79
veteran in your name tell us
what inspired the beginning of
00:05:24.82\00:05:29.12
this ministry and why
the phrase Little Light.
00:05:29.16\00:05:33.26
Um I took film studies in school
wanting to actually end up in
00:05:33.29\00:05:37.37
Los Angeles working in
television and so quickly
00:05:37.40\00:05:40.87
shortly after my college
experience I actually ended up
00:05:40.90\00:05:43.51
in television for 10 years and
that is primarily what led me
00:05:43.54\00:05:48.41
astray personally. Being a
creative and wanting to make
00:05:48.44\00:05:53.45
those things for a living
you kind of pay attention to
00:05:53.48\00:05:56.58
whatever everybody else is doing
So I didn't grow up with a lot
00:05:56.62\00:05:59.32
of movies and television in my
household. My parents were very
00:05:59.35\00:06:05.03
Adventist and traditional in
their upbringing. You know we
00:06:05.06\00:06:07.03
were not encouraged. Most
of us played outside all of my
00:06:07.06\00:06:09.96
brothers and I. And so when I
started kind of really digesting
00:06:10.00\00:06:15.17
and eating up all the different
movies of the world I believe I
00:06:15.20\00:06:17.81
was just kind of filling my time
and my life with those messages
00:06:17.84\00:06:21.38
and that's what eventually
choked out the truth out of my
00:06:21.41\00:06:24.68
life. So I think when I came
back into the truth um I was
00:06:24.71\00:06:29.25
really kind of sharing
with everybody else, hey this is
00:06:29.28\00:06:31.89
something that led me astray and
this is what I've learned about
00:06:31.92\00:06:35.22
it. Hopefully, it can help you.
And that's really what it began.
00:06:35.26\00:06:38.49
And Little Light really came out
of...I had lots of friends in
00:06:38.53\00:06:44.90
Los Angeles that would talk
to me about their Buddhist faith
00:06:44.93\00:06:48.44
and this faith and that faith
and they were searching for
00:06:48.47\00:06:51.47
truth and here I had grown
up and understood a lot of truth
00:06:51.51\00:06:55.51
from the Bible and I hid
my light under my bushel and I
00:06:55.54\00:06:59.61
didn't share it with anybody. So
coming back into the faith that
00:06:59.65\00:07:03.28
was really instrumental in us
choosing a name with like Lord
00:07:03.32\00:07:06.59
I'm sorry for actually hiding
the truth that I was taught as a
00:07:06.62\00:07:10.49
kid. I will never do that again.
And that's where Little Light
00:07:10.53\00:07:12.83
came from.
00:07:12.86\00:07:14.20
Wonderful don't hide it under
a bushel. (Singing) This little
00:07:14.23\00:07:16.87
light of mine... That was
your mantra in a right way.
00:07:16.90\00:07:22.24
We thought about making one that
was Satan sitting on a tack but
00:07:22.27\00:07:23.61
that didn't go over well.
00:07:23.64\00:07:26.81
Yeah well it was an idea but
I'm glad you chose Little Light
00:07:26.84\00:07:30.25
because there's something
shining about that name and it
00:07:30.28\00:07:33.75
really has been able to open the
eyes of many. We're going to get
00:07:33.78\00:07:36.38
into some of the specifics in
just a moment but Brad tell us
00:07:36.42\00:07:41.39
about you journey a little bit
here and what inspired you to
00:07:41.42\00:07:44.56
get on board.
00:07:44.59\00:07:45.93
Sure will I'd been following
them for quite a while but I was
00:07:45.96\00:07:47.80
actually out in Hawaii for a
while doing a start-up company
00:07:47.83\00:07:50.17
and I kind of fell away from the
faith quite a bit but after I
00:07:50.20\00:07:53.57
decided there was something
different about a friend of mine
00:07:53.60\00:07:56.40
that I knew he said you
know what you need to go to
00:07:56.44\00:08:01.24
evangelistic training program in
Sacramento called AFCO. I went
00:08:01.28\00:08:04.68
out there and then I met Scotty
up at Weimar, California, and he
00:08:04.71\00:08:08.78
was doing presentations out
there and I said you know what
00:08:08.82\00:08:11.39
you've really got something here
and it's really changed the way
00:08:11.42\00:08:15.29
I think about things and so me
and him kind of kept in contact
00:08:15.32\00:08:18.26
for about about 10 years and as
I worked out there for a while I
00:08:18.29\00:08:23.33
decided you know what I'd like
to come back to Tennessee and be
00:08:23.37\00:08:27.97
with family because my family's
based out here, so I gave Scotty
00:08:28.00\00:08:30.64
a call.
00:08:30.67\00:08:32.01
Okay, and he said get on board
little children, get on board.
00:08:32.04\00:08:35.74
That's good because as we're
going to find out in the program
00:08:35.78\00:08:39.08
about the specifics of what
Little Light does and maybe even
00:08:39.11\00:08:41.82
address some of the topics you
cover because as one who...if
00:08:41.85\00:08:47.52
you've been in any big city or
any city now a days, matter of
00:08:47.56\00:08:51.46
fact you don't even have to
be in the city. The city finds a
00:08:51.49\00:08:54.96
way to get to you. And I think
that's what you're going to be
00:08:55.00\00:08:56.87
addressing here. But before we
get to that part, Keith give us
00:08:56.90\00:08:59.20
some of your journey with Little
Light Studios. I know you told
00:08:59.23\00:09:01.00
us about the position you hold
but what inspired you to be a
00:09:01.04\00:09:05.07
part of this kind of ministry?
00:09:05.11\00:09:07.18
So probably right around the
same time as Brad although we
00:09:07.21\00:09:10.05
didn't know each other, I
had seen some presentations on
00:09:10.08\00:09:15.18
social media and they were of
Scott when he was at Weimar the
00:09:15.22\00:09:19.52
same time frame that these guys
were interacting. I don't know
00:09:19.55\00:09:22.02
what the time frame was on those
being released and my seeing
00:09:22.06\00:09:25.43
them but they gave me the
answer that I needed. So what I
00:09:25.46\00:09:32.23
experienced in my life is
God was telling me three things.
00:09:32.27\00:09:34.77
You need to change what you're
eating, you need to change what
00:09:34.80\00:09:40.18
you're watching and you need
to be willing to move anywhere.
00:09:40.21\00:09:42.81
And these were preparatory steps
for ministry. I knew that in my
00:09:42.84\00:09:46.28
own heart. And so those started
to change and when I heard these
00:09:46.31\00:09:50.69
presentations by Scott I was
like that's the antidote. That
00:09:50.72\00:09:53.52
was the reason of why you don't
just let anything into your mind
00:09:53.56\00:09:56.69
So I always tell people what
I heard was the three angels
00:09:56.73\00:10:00.50
message in those presentations.
And I heard the message of the
00:10:00.53\00:10:04.77
sanctuary and I heard about the
cleansing of my mind and I said
00:10:04.80\00:10:07.64
you know what that
makes perfect sense.
00:10:07.67\00:10:10.71
Um-hum that's wonderful. I
like the way you connected the
00:10:10.74\00:10:13.98
cleansing of my mind. You know
Isaiah, cleanse your hands ye
00:10:14.01\00:10:17.68
sinners and purify your hearts
you double-minded and wash
00:10:17.71\00:10:19.65
yourselves, make yourselves
clean. Isaiah. And Peter talks
00:10:19.68\00:10:22.55
about that too. But that's very
interesting because a lot of
00:10:22.58\00:10:26.55
people today don't recognize
that, we use this phrase loosely
00:10:26.59\00:10:30.66
that the world is dumping into
our minds. And there's really no
00:10:30.69\00:10:33.86
filter there especially when
you're exposed to social media
00:10:33.90\00:10:36.46
and things are moving at the
rate that they are today. You
00:10:36.50\00:10:39.17
know we want to go to the next
G I don't know it's up to 5G,
00:10:39.20\00:10:44.17
maybe 6 but I've heard about 10G
already and what that means in
00:10:44.21\00:10:47.58
this world today that just
simply means to me, and we'll
00:10:47.61\00:10:51.68
talk about that some,
that we could get our addiction
00:10:51.71\00:10:54.32
satisfied a lot quicker. So come
back to you Scott. Talk about
00:10:54.35\00:10:57.99
some of the topics. Let's just
go to the development of Little
00:10:58.02\00:11:00.82
Light and if you remember in the
olden days what were some of the
00:11:00.86\00:11:05.39
early topics you addressed?
00:11:05.43\00:11:07.93
We were just excited. I mean
it wasn't a forethought when we
00:11:07.96\00:11:11.67
began this process of really
starting in a ministry actually.
00:11:11.70\00:11:13.77
We were just kind of sharing.
We got asked to speak at a youth
00:11:13.80\00:11:18.01
rally about our experience
of working Hollywood, so what we
00:11:18.04\00:11:21.34
put together...I was very
actually pro-Hollywood. I was
00:11:21.38\00:11:27.25
very much interested in
Hollywood and I was a collector
00:11:27.28\00:11:30.12
of movies and so I was putting
in movies just to kind of get
00:11:30.15\00:11:31.92
some inspiration and in the
center of a movie that I had
00:11:31.95\00:11:34.96
really been interested in there
was this random scene in the
00:11:34.99\00:11:38.29
middle of the movie that
said you have to consider the
00:11:38.33\00:11:39.89
possibility that God doesn't
like you, in fact God hates you.
00:11:39.93\00:11:42.46
And then this actor said this
huge monologue about how much
00:11:42.50\00:11:45.40
God dislikes me. And I put it
on pause and I went what in the
00:11:45.43\00:11:50.11
world, like how did I not
recognize that, I didn't see it.
00:11:50.14\00:11:52.24
So that caused me to really
say well what's going on in the
00:11:52.27\00:11:54.81
brain that I can watch something
and not understand or not hear
00:11:54.84\00:11:58.25
that? I grew up in the church.
You know if you told me my mom
00:11:58.28\00:12:01.05
didn't like me I'd remember you
or your face. So that's what we
00:12:01.08\00:12:05.35
were sharing with people
and then once we started kind of
00:12:05.39\00:12:08.39
understanding like how the brain
works and just looking at the
00:12:08.42\00:12:11.53
messages that were coming
out I was a big fan of superhero
00:12:11.56\00:12:16.10
movies and you know all
the latest and greatest kind of
00:12:16.13\00:12:18.33
popular things and it was
amazing how many things attacked
00:12:18.37\00:12:22.84
God or took Biblical concepts
and flipped them upside down.
00:12:22.87\00:12:26.01
So that's really what we started
putting in our initial projects.
00:12:26.04\00:12:30.35
And as we started sharing those
things you know people would
00:12:30.38\00:12:33.45
always say you know Oh I know
maybe you don't watch a lot of
00:12:33.48\00:12:36.55
movies but my kids play video
games. What do you know about
00:12:36.58\00:12:39.15
that. So then we'd kind of look
into that subject and we'd find
00:12:39.19\00:12:42.06
you know wow there's a lot of
spiritualism ideas put in there.
00:12:43.02\00:12:45.26
Then we put that together.
And then they'd say oh well they
00:12:45.29\00:12:47.93
don't play video games we don't
watch movies but you know I just
00:12:47.96\00:12:50.10
can't get my kids off the phones
So then, what do you guys know
00:12:50.13\00:12:53.84
about social media. So then
we would do projects on that. So
00:12:53.87\00:12:56.91
really our ministry kind of
developed and a needed ability
00:12:56.94\00:13:01.68
to basically take the things
that a lot of these young people
00:13:01.71\00:13:05.18
were interested in and then sort
of kind of point out like here's
00:13:05.21\00:13:10.55
some dangerous, here's some
things to think about here's
00:13:10.59\00:13:11.92
what the Bible says. This
movie's telling you this but the
00:13:11.95\00:13:14.36
Bible says this. Sometimes
they're not the same. And we
00:13:14.39\00:13:17.83
kind of developed really a focus
of trying to get people to see
00:13:17.86\00:13:22.40
the world around them through
the lens of the Bible and that's
00:13:22.43\00:13:25.57
I think what the most powerful
thing with a young person is.
00:13:25.60\00:13:29.77
It's not just a book that
was written 2000 years ago. It's
00:13:29.80\00:13:32.51
relevant and it has valuable,
beautiful information for us
00:13:32.54\00:13:36.14
today. How do we apply it to the
things that we have in our life
00:13:36.18\00:13:39.28
today?
00:13:39.31\00:13:40.65
That's interesting. Talk
about your journey in Hollywood
00:13:40.68\00:13:43.05
because as you talked about you
know coming out of a home where
00:13:43.08\00:13:46.92
you were shielded pretty much
from a lot of the influences of
00:13:46.96\00:13:50.63
outside what made
Hollywood addicting?
00:13:50.66\00:13:52.93
You know I think it was a
curiosity, a fascination. Of
00:13:52.96\00:13:56.53
course as a kid I knew what
Hollywood was. My friends had
00:13:56.56\00:14:00.54
TVs and I would go over to
friend's houses and was exposed
00:14:00.57\00:14:03.74
to modern media in that way. Um
but I didn't quite know what was
00:14:03.77\00:14:09.14
wrong with it. Um and when I got
to Hollywood I quickly realized
00:14:09.18\00:14:14.92
there's a lot of people that
aren't necessarily interested in
00:14:14.95\00:14:20.26
God, at least that's not their
primary focus. And so I kind of
00:14:20.29\00:14:24.49
surrounded myself with people
who really didn't care about God
00:14:24.53\00:14:27.53
whatsoever. We really became
about making money or getting
00:14:27.56\00:14:32.60
famous or you know being
successful in this world and
00:14:32.63\00:14:36.60
that's what became my
focus. And I think the ultimate
00:14:36.64\00:14:39.51
demonstration of success at
least publicly is to be famous,
00:14:39.54\00:14:43.88
right? Be successful. To
be famous, to make a movie,
00:14:43.91\00:14:46.28
people really need
00:14:46.31\00:14:47.65
recognition, people really
respect movie stars and so I
00:14:47.68\00:14:50.75
think I bit into that illusion
not realizing there's a lot of
00:14:50.79\00:14:56.83
broken people that are chasing
that. So as I started to explore
00:14:56.86\00:15:00.63
that, that's when God
opened my eyes a little bit.
00:15:00.66\00:15:04.43
Brad do you want to add anything
to that? Okay maybe I'll throw
00:15:04.47\00:15:05.80
it to Keith since you're the
second longest-running person on
00:15:05.83\00:15:10.97
this program connected with
Little Light. As you hear about
00:15:11.01\00:15:15.54
Scott's journey talk about your
journey a little bit, how...I
00:15:15.58\00:15:18.31
know you talked about what
interested you in Little Light
00:15:18.35\00:15:20.98
but then what do you see as
a need in the world today as it
00:15:21.02\00:15:26.19
relates to pulling back
the curtain, letting people see
00:15:26.22\00:15:31.03
what's behind the scenes, what's
actually happening and how it's
00:15:31.06\00:15:34.53
affecting them.
00:15:34.56\00:15:35.90
Yeah, I mean everybody when they
come to the truth of the Bible
00:15:35.93\00:15:40.34
they have to take that and
reevaluate their life. They have
00:15:40.37\00:15:44.64
to say okay is this true or is
what's around me true, what the
00:15:44.67\00:15:49.78
world is telling me true.
And you have to make a decision
00:15:49.81\00:15:52.71
between those two things. One
thing I think that ministries
00:15:52.75\00:15:57.65
like ours are doing is they're
servicing people the option
00:15:57.69\00:16:00.96
of knowing versus not knowing.
And so if we don't put the
00:16:00.99\00:16:05.46
information out there, there are
people who may never know. We
00:16:05.49\00:16:09.10
get testimonies all the time
of people who are writing and
00:16:09.13\00:16:12.10
saying you know what, you
addressed this topic and because
00:16:12.13\00:16:15.27
of you addressing this topic
it's completely changed my life.
00:16:15.30\00:16:18.87
And so that's why you know
for us, it's started out as a
00:16:18.91\00:16:24.31
Hollywood thing but as it's
progressed we have really moved
00:16:24.35\00:16:28.18
into pop culture, come current
events and helping people see
00:16:28.22\00:16:33.66
the world through a Biblical
lens. If we don't see it through
00:16:33.69\00:16:37.23
a Biblical lens you know that's
going to make it very difficult
00:16:37.26\00:16:40.13
when things really heat up.
00:16:40.16\00:16:43.97
Okay I see Brad was
shaking his head there.
00:16:44.00\00:16:45.60
Oh man, it just opens up so many
topics when you just mention
00:16:45.63\00:16:50.37
that. The one that really
sticking out that has come out
00:16:50.41\00:16:52.47
and is rearing its ugly head
at us is this spiritualism topic
00:16:52.51\00:16:56.61
that has happened especially in
modern media today. It's really
00:16:56.64\00:17:01.68
fascinating to see so
many movies talking about the
00:17:01.72\00:17:05.65
different spiritual aspects of
this. But whether you're talking
00:17:05.69\00:17:08.69
about magic, or whether you talk
about the strange events that
00:17:08.72\00:17:12.86
are happening like recent
government UAP (unidentified
00:17:12.89\00:17:16.13
aerial phenomenon) events that
they're talking about recently
00:17:16.16\00:17:17.97
Define what that acronym means.
00:17:18.00\00:17:20.04
Unidentified aerial phenomena.
(Okay) and so the government has
00:17:20.07\00:17:23.97
had, and this has been in the
news very recently has had lots
00:17:24.01\00:17:28.48
of trouble with this among their
most secret military operations.
00:17:28.51\00:17:31.85
So much so that it's gone to
congress. And so we're seeing
00:17:31.88\00:17:35.68
this tie in from Hollywood
media to what's in real life is
00:17:35.72\00:17:41.49
becoming a real-life problem.
So it's really interesting to
00:17:41.52\00:17:45.33
see what's happening here.
00:17:45.36\00:17:47.30
Wow. In communications talk
about what encourages you, I
00:17:47.33\00:17:52.90
mean we talked about in the
beginning how you keep in touch
00:17:52.93\00:17:55.60
with the donors and all but what
other aspect of Little Light
00:17:55.64\00:17:58.87
media impacts your life?
00:17:58.91\00:18:00.24
Um I think it's the fact that
it is so...like we're seeing the
00:18:00.28\00:18:04.31
reach that we have. So how I
actually came to Little Light
00:18:04.35\00:18:08.75
Studios I was actually a student
missionary in Hong Kong even
00:18:08.78\00:18:11.39
thought I was like born
and raised in America and the
00:18:11.42\00:18:13.82
ministry's based in America. I
didn't actually know about them
00:18:13.86\00:18:16.09
till I was in Hong Kong. And so
that's how...there was a youth
00:18:16.12\00:18:20.40
pastor who shared one of the
videos that Little Light made
00:18:20.43\00:18:24.53
and it just became part of my
Sabbath routine to watch their
00:18:24.57\00:18:27.77
LED Live. And then when I came
I remember when I was watching
00:18:27.80\00:18:32.91
and I prayed. I was like God you
know I'd love to help them with
00:18:32.94\00:18:35.18
their social media. So if I
could get a job with them that
00:18:35.21\00:18:37.81
would be awesome. So I ended up
coming back to the States and I
00:18:37.85\00:18:41.62
had I think one more year left
before I graduated and I ran
00:18:41.65\00:18:46.59
into one of the producers,
Mikey, at a bookstore, and then
00:18:46.62\00:18:51.76
they all just came together for
me to be able to work. And so I
00:18:51.79\00:18:54.96
ended up begin able to work with
social media and the joys of
00:18:55.00\00:18:58.80
that is that we're just seeing
how our videos are making it to
00:18:58.83\00:19:03.77
other parts of the world and
it's not necessarily Christians
00:19:03.81\00:19:06.74
Muslims, Buddhists, some
atheists and you know they are
00:19:06.78\00:19:12.51
asking us questions that they
feel like their church isn't
00:19:12.55\00:19:14.55
talking about. And so we've been
able to minister to them. We
00:19:14.58\00:19:18.42
also have gotten in some really
inspiring testimonies that have
00:19:18.45\00:19:22.92
come in as well, just how
our videos have been impacting
00:19:22.96\00:19:25.29
people. So just like
communicating with our
00:19:25.33\00:19:29.90
audience has
been a real blessing.
00:19:29.93\00:19:31.93
Wow. You know Hollywood and
we talk about putting this all
00:19:31.97\00:19:36.14
together...I'm going to
come at it a little differently.
00:19:36.17\00:19:38.67
Hollywood has a message but it
intentionally hides the gospel.
00:19:38.71\00:19:43.14
You know there's a passage I
want to read this to you and I
00:19:43.18\00:19:45.81
want to get your reaction on
it in light of what you do. You
00:19:45.85\00:19:48.38
know in 2 Corinthians 4 verse
3 it says you may look that up
00:19:48.42\00:19:53.25
since you have a Bible. It's
really interesting. It says, But
00:19:53.29\00:19:55.12
even if our gospel is veiled
it's veiled to those who are
00:19:55.16\00:19:59.73
perishing who's minds the God of
this age has blinded who do not
00:19:59.76\00:20:04.53
believe lest the light of the
gospel of the glory of Christ
00:20:04.57\00:20:08.90
who is the image of God should
shine on them. So the reason
00:20:08.94\00:20:12.77
that came to my mind is lest the
light of the gospel of the glory
00:20:12.81\00:20:16.58
of God...And so this light
that you're turning on, you're
00:20:16.61\00:20:20.82
turning it on for those who the
prince of this world has blinded
00:20:20.85\00:20:25.69
Because the gospel in a great
degree in Hollywood is hidden.
00:20:25.72\00:20:29.09
We talked about that in the
context of all the different
00:20:29.12\00:20:32.16
religions; you know Buddhist
and you know when you hear about
00:20:32.19\00:20:36.83
somebody saying I want to thank
God for this award they're not
00:20:36.87\00:20:41.77
thinking Jesus Christ. You know
they have a different definition
00:20:41.80\00:20:44.97
for god. Talk about that in the
context of when you're putting
00:20:45.01\00:20:49.24
your media together. Because
here at 3ABN, we have this
00:20:49.28\00:20:51.85
phrase A slogan to counteract
the counterfeit. Talk about that
00:20:51.88\00:20:57.59
in the context of this scripture
the gospel being hidden but you
00:20:57.62\00:21:00.79
want to bring that back out.
00:21:00.82\00:21:02.52
Yeah, it really is amazing
because I grew up with the
00:21:02.56\00:21:06.73
Adventist understanding, the
Adventist faith, the things that
00:21:06.76\00:21:10.40
we hold as our understanding
in the Bible. And I didn't know
00:21:10.43\00:21:15.40
that much about kind of
what other churches really
00:21:15.44\00:21:18.11
believed in certain topics.
And you know it's a really
00:21:18.14\00:21:22.38
interesting day and age because
most of our work is on YouTube
00:21:22.41\00:21:26.15
and that's how we reach the
young people. Well when you're
00:21:26.18\00:21:30.65
on there, you're not necessarily
choosing a particular faith or
00:21:30.69\00:21:34.02
demographic. So we may mention
something that we are all
00:21:34.06\00:21:37.66
familiar with, that we grew up
believing or thinking and then
00:21:37.69\00:21:40.30
it's only through the comments
that we realize, Oh wow, they
00:21:40.33\00:21:43.16
don't believe that or they don't
see that. And it's really become
00:21:43.20\00:21:46.53
this opportunity but us to share
light with them as the topic
00:21:46.57\00:21:52.77
comes up. They'll question. You
read the comments and it's like
00:21:52.81\00:21:56.21
hey you mentioned something
about you know the Sabbath. What
00:21:56.24\00:21:58.31
do you mean by that? Everybody
goes to church on Sunday, you
00:21:58.35\00:22:00.68
know. Those kind of concepts
that we can then show hey read
00:22:00.72\00:22:05.32
these verses or look at this
and it becomes this like this
00:22:05.35\00:22:08.82
discipleship opportunity which
is kind of neat. So a lot of our
00:22:08.86\00:22:14.70
audience is actually of
a mixed variety of faiths.
00:22:14.73\00:22:18.93
It's very interesting when
you have people...we had this, I
00:22:18.97\00:22:23.81
think I mentioned this on
another program, but it's very
00:22:23.84\00:22:25.74
striking to me. We had couple
write us who was contemplating
00:22:25.77\00:22:29.61
marriage. The lady was agnostic
and her boyfriend was atheist.
00:22:29.64\00:22:34.88
They watch our program and
they're writing us and asking
00:22:34.92\00:22:38.09
our thoughts about marriage. You
just don't see that happen every
00:22:38.12\00:22:42.29
day.
00:22:42.32\00:22:43.66
I know. Especially
from that demographic.
00:22:43.69\00:22:45.19
It's very unusual. And I also
wanted to kind of tag team off
00:22:45.23\00:22:51.00
of something that you said.
What Hollywood is producing what
00:22:51.03\00:22:55.14
the world is servicing is really
a different kind of sermon, if
00:22:55.17\00:23:00.24
you will. One that's not
the gospel. And it reminds me of
00:23:00.28\00:23:04.01
something that Paul says in
Galatians 1. In verse 6, he says
00:23:04.05\00:23:07.12
you into the grace of Christ to
a different gospel. (Okay) To a
00:23:10.05\00:23:14.09
different gospel. And it says,
which is not another but there
00:23:14.12\00:23:16.59
are some who trouble you and
want to pervert the gospel of
00:23:16.62\00:23:19.69
Christ, which is exactly what we
see in Hollywood media. It's a
00:23:19.73\00:23:24.53
perversion of the gospel of
Christ. It's a modern form of
00:23:24.57\00:23:28.27
gnosticism. (Okay) And Paul
warned them, he says: But even
00:23:28.30\00:23:33.61
if we or an angel from heaven
which is fascinating language in
00:23:33.64\00:23:37.25
light of some of the things
we are seeing today, preach any
00:23:37.28\00:23:40.22
other gospel to you than what we
have preached to you let him be
00:23:40.25\00:23:41.82
accursed. That's not a pleasant
flowery statement that Paul is
00:23:41.85\00:23:45.99
making. He's saying this is
serious business. You have to
00:23:46.02\00:23:49.42
really know what the truth is
because there are consequences
00:23:49.46\00:23:53.36
And of course, if you know
what the truth is there are also
00:23:53.40\00:23:57.20
rewards. So.
00:23:57.23\00:23:58.83
So let's get into some of the
media avenues. You talk about
00:23:58.87\00:24:03.87
social media. Define some of
as you've presented through the
00:24:03.91\00:24:08.11
years in your videos and in your
messages some of the pitfalls
00:24:08.14\00:24:13.52
that you see when media is not
discretionary. In other words,
00:24:13.55\00:24:19.15
if a person just opens the door
talk about some of those things
00:24:19.19\00:24:21.62
that you've addressed in
particular age groups because
00:24:21.66\00:24:24.99
now the majority of society when
they pass a certain age have a
00:24:25.03\00:24:29.56
cell phone. I mean it's almost
like, Mom, I'm going to be 13
00:24:29.60\00:24:33.37
all my friends have a cell phone
I need a cell phone. It's going
00:24:33.40\00:24:36.74
to be embarrassing if I don't
have a cell phone. The pressures
00:24:36.77\00:24:38.37
of it. Talk about
some of that for a moment.
00:24:38.41\00:24:40.34
You know media was probably much
harder to get ahold of a variety
00:24:40.38\00:24:46.35
of things. Right? You had to
either subscribe to that channel
00:24:46.38\00:24:48.48
or you know pay for that
subscription to that particular
00:24:48.52\00:24:53.05
company like HBO or something
like that, right? And that's how
00:24:53.09\00:24:58.59
you would kind of see the media.
Or you would have to go to the
00:24:58.63\00:25:00.43
video store and rent the video,
right? There was a process that
00:25:00.46\00:25:02.36
you really had to do. It's like
everything is available at the
00:25:02.40\00:25:06.50
touch of a fingertip at this
point. And what a lot of people
00:25:06.53\00:25:10.34
like to speak to what Keith
was saying, people don't look at
00:25:10.37\00:25:15.64
their media as this is teaching
me or giving me a message. What
00:25:15.68\00:25:19.21
is that message that this thing
is relaying, right? I mean it
00:25:19.25\00:25:23.02
could be different for the
different types of media. You're
00:25:23.05\00:25:24.62
playing a video game. Everybody
is running around playing
00:25:24.65\00:25:27.46
Fortnite The purpose of it is
to run around and shoot and kill
00:25:27.49\00:25:30.29
everybody and be the last person
standing. What message is that
00:25:30.33\00:25:34.36
in the light of the Bible? Where
in the book does it tell you you
00:25:34.40\00:25:37.90
should harm everybody else
so that you're the only one
00:25:37.93\00:25:39.87
standing. Nowhere. So it's
trying to swing their mind back
00:25:39.90\00:25:44.84
into what does this book
here say and what is this media
00:25:44.87\00:25:48.34
really telling you. What's
the message you're getting?
00:25:48.38\00:25:50.11
Everybody's dispensable if they
are in your way. Make sure that
00:25:50.15\00:25:53.15
when all the chips are down you
still, survive. So how does that
00:25:53.18\00:25:58.32
affect a person at different
levels. I know we see a lot of
00:25:58.35\00:26:01.72
things happening in society
today and any of you could
00:26:01.76\00:26:04.59
address this. Things that would
have at a different time been
00:26:04.63\00:26:09.76
innocuous are today very deadly.
Because of the conditioning of
00:26:09.80\00:26:15.17
certain types of games and I
know you address games in some
00:26:15.20\00:26:18.47
of your videos. Talk about some
of those games, you address to
00:26:18.51\00:26:22.68
try to point out the dangers of
and I like the way you just said
00:26:22.71\00:26:28.58
that, of conditioning the mind
and then when the video game is
00:26:28.62\00:26:34.96
no longer giving you the
satisfaction, the dopamine
00:26:34.99\00:26:39.39
flooding, how do you seek to
substitute that. Just anybody
00:26:39.43\00:26:42.66
here because we see some of
these video games and we can see
00:26:42.70\00:26:46.23
the impact on society.
00:26:46.27\00:26:50.44
I'd say you know Fortnite
is probably one of the best
00:26:50.47\00:26:53.38
I can mention and it's one of
the best examples because they
00:26:53.41\00:26:57.28
try to lower the rating of the
game by saying well there's not
00:26:57.31\00:27:01.75
actual blood. Well they just
changed the color of the blood
00:27:01.78\00:27:03.89
and they make the characters
more cartoon-like instead of
00:27:03.92\00:27:07.32
realistic like you would find in
Call of Duty or something like
00:27:07.36\00:27:10.09
that.
00:27:10.13\00:27:11.79
There's a real high definition.
00:27:11.83\00:27:13.16
Yeah so because it's approached
that it's more of a fantasy or a
00:27:13.19\00:27:17.40
cartoon and because they don't
have the real blood, it's blue
00:27:17.43\00:27:20.10
instead of red. I think it's
a more subtle deception than the
00:27:20.14\00:27:24.04
other. You know it looks
less realistic and so you have
00:27:24.07\00:27:28.21
greater buy into the game and
all kinds of people...I've even
00:27:28.24\00:27:32.65
read about hiring coaches for
their children to get better at
00:27:32.68\00:27:37.92
that game.
00:27:37.95\00:27:39.29
I've heard about it but
I've never actually seen it. Hey
00:27:39.32\00:27:43.99
that's a good thing. So
the whole. Explain a little bit
00:27:44.03\00:27:48.06
about that. We don't want to
increase anybody's inquisitive
00:27:48.10\00:27:50.43
desires to find out more about
it. But just since you mentioned
00:27:50.47\00:27:53.87
that so the figures are
not these high definition 4K
00:27:53.90\00:27:58.94
realistic pulsing figures look
like humans. So that creates...
00:27:58.97\00:28:04.05
They still look like humans but
it's like the difference between
00:28:04.08\00:28:06.38
a cartoon and an actual person.
When you're playing something
00:28:06.41\00:28:08.75
like Call of Duty, I'm using
that one because it's one of the
00:28:08.78\00:28:12.75
top games, everybody looks very
realistic. Especially more and
00:28:12.79\00:28:16.02
more people are pushing the
envelope with 3D technology and
00:28:16.06\00:28:19.56
they look very realistic. But
Fortnite's not that way. And so
00:28:19.59\00:28:24.07
some of the things that they're
doing allows them to lower the
00:28:24.10\00:28:27.00
rating just like you would
on a movie you know. If you want
00:28:27.04\00:28:29.44
broader appeal most superhero
movies are marketed to a PG-13
00:28:29.47\00:28:34.94
audience. There are some that
market to a rated R audience but
00:28:34.98\00:28:39.15
it's rare. It's becoming
more common but it's more rare.
00:28:39.18\00:28:41.45
Why do they want PG-13? Because
they want all the 13-year-olds
00:28:41.48\00:28:44.95
to bring their parents you know
and watch it. You get broader
00:28:44.99\00:28:47.09
appeal. That's what Fortnite is
doing. With the broader appeal
00:28:47.12\00:28:50.79
you know you're still
introducing this same idea
00:28:50.83\00:28:53.90
it just has as
different face on it.
00:28:53.93\00:28:56.46
And it's really the spirit of
what you're getting out of it,
00:28:56.50\00:29:02.07
right? There's a part of the
game where it's like when you
00:29:02.10\00:29:05.07
kill somebody, you can dance
over their body. I mean just
00:29:05.11\00:29:07.41
think about that logic. I mean
it's just a subtle tiny slippery
00:29:07.44\00:29:13.28
slope to just disregard human
life and...You know, we're not
00:29:13.31\00:29:16.92
getting more loving toward each
other. We're waxing colder and
00:29:16.95\00:29:21.09
colder right?
00:29:21.12\00:29:22.46
Without natural affection.
00:29:22.49\00:29:23.83
Yeah, isn't that what Jesus said
would happen in the end of time.
00:29:23.86\00:29:25.43
I want to read a verse to
you that kind of answers that
00:29:25.46\00:29:28.36
question as well. Romans 1:32
(Okay, yeah) and this is a great
00:29:28.40\00:29:33.40
verse to really illustrate
what is all this doing because
00:29:33.44\00:29:37.81
Hollywood's done a really good
job at making us think well it's
00:29:37.84\00:29:41.64
fake. How can it really affect
me. I know what the truth is.
00:29:41.68\00:29:44.55
I'm not going to go out and I'm
not going to shoot people and
00:29:44.58\00:29:46.18
I'm not going to shoot people
and kill them right? So what's
00:29:46.21\00:29:48.92
wrong with me
watching someone else do that?
00:29:48.95\00:29:50.29
But as you see all
the producers animator_.
00:29:50.32\00:29:55.66
And the reality is really
showing that. There are a lot
00:29:55.69\00:29:58.29
of violent video games. Not
everybody is running into malls
00:29:58.33\00:30:01.26
and shooting people. That's not
the reality of the world. But I
00:30:01.30\00:30:05.47
think the Bible gives us
an illustration that tells us
00:30:05.50\00:30:09.44
what's wrong with that in the
big picture. Romans 1:32 says:
00:30:09.47\00:30:13.24
Who knowing the judgment of God
they which commit such things
00:30:13.27\00:30:15.74
are worthy of death. Meaning if
I run around and I shoot someone
00:30:15.78\00:30:20.32
there's a judgment in the grand
picture that I am worthy of if I
00:30:20.35\00:30:26.09
do that action. But Paul takes
it one step further and he says
00:30:26.12\00:30:29.09
Not only those that do the same
but of those that have pleasure
00:30:29.12\00:30:33.09
in them that do that. So if I'm
taking pleasure in somebody else
00:30:33.13\00:30:38.43
running around and shooting
someone, watching a bank robbery
00:30:38.47\00:30:41.77
movie. I'm not the one that's
robbing the bank. I'm just
00:30:41.80\00:30:43.87
watching them rob the bank and
I'm hoping that they get away
00:30:43.91\00:30:46.31
with it. That spirit, I might
as well, be doing it myself. And
00:30:46.34\00:30:50.91
that's why Jesus said you
know if you're angry with your
00:30:50.95\00:30:54.22
brother you know you're worthy
of the judgment of killing him,
00:30:54.25\00:30:56.95
right?
00:30:56.99\00:30:58.32
If you hate him
you're already a murderer.
00:30:58.35\00:30:59.79
Yeah it's not like you have to
go out and complete that action
00:30:59.82\00:31:02.39
I can actually be a desire
that then becomes an issue. So I
00:31:02.42\00:31:08.36
think the devil has created this
device where we watch sinful
00:31:08.40\00:31:11.03
things or wicked things. We take
pleasure in it even though we
00:31:11.07\00:31:14.77
think we're not doing it but
yet the Bible tells us if we're
00:31:14.80\00:31:18.37
taking pleasure in those things
you would be judged for then
00:31:18.41\00:31:21.54
you're worthy of
that same judgment.
00:31:21.58\00:31:23.38
(Wow) Tag teaming off of that
you know Jesus also said in that
00:31:23.41\00:31:28.02
same passage if you look after
a woman and lust, you know, lust
00:31:28.05\00:31:30.65
after in your heart, it's
the same as committing adultery.
00:31:30.69\00:31:32.95
With social media and having
access to all these devices
00:31:32.99\00:31:39.29
there's been a huge increase
in pornography. In fact the top
00:31:39.33\00:31:45.10
pornography website I was
reading had I think more traffic
00:31:45.13\00:31:49.40
than Instagram. More traffic
than Instagram. Instagram is a
00:31:49.44\00:31:54.31
huge site. I mean Facebook
paid a billion dollars for that
00:31:54.34\00:31:57.88
platform several years ago.
00:31:57.91\00:31:59.48
You mean that's how much
they paid to get Instagram.
00:31:59.51\00:32:03.05
That's how much they paid just
to get Instagram. Now it's worth
00:32:03.08\00:32:04.65
many times more than that now.
But more traffic than that app
00:32:04.69\00:32:09.76
that so many people are on.
That's a huge problem. That's an
00:32:09.79\00:32:14.20
epidemic right there. (Yeah)
And so we have access to all
00:32:14.23\00:32:18.73
these things but it's like the
tree of knowledge of good and
00:32:18.77\00:32:22.64
evil. You have access to it but
it doesn't mean that we should
00:32:22.67\00:32:26.17
be partaking of it.
00:32:26.21\00:32:28.54
That's a very good
analogy. Anything Brittny.
00:32:28.58\00:32:30.08
Yeah, we also have the
documentary called Pseudology
00:32:30.11\00:32:33.48
that actually goes in...
00:32:33.52\00:32:34.88
Called what?
00:32:34.92\00:32:36.25
Pseudology.
(Pseudology) Pseudology (Okay)
00:32:36.28\00:32:38.32
The art of lying. And so
it really just talks about the
00:32:38.35\00:32:41.99
harmful effects of media not
just on the spiritual end but
00:32:42.02\00:32:45.33
also the scientific
end. (Lying) Yeah. (Continue)
00:32:45.36\00:32:49.93
And so in that documentary
it mentions that your brain
00:32:49.96\00:32:55.10
actually...like there was an
experiment that was done, your
00:32:55.14\00:32:57.74
brain actually cannot tell
the difference between like you
00:32:57.77\00:33:01.08
watching something and you
actually doing it. Like I think
00:33:01.11\00:33:02.44
your brain lights up the same
way and so just in light of the
00:33:02.48\00:33:05.85
scripture that we just read like
science can back that up as well
00:33:05.88\00:33:09.58
Wow. When you mention this
a little light came on to a
00:33:09.62\00:33:15.76
commercial that you know when
you watch television sometimes
00:33:15.79\00:33:18.03
the commercials like, I don't
need to see that commercial,
00:33:18.06\00:33:21.83
there's a show, I don't know if
it's still on or not but it says
00:33:21.86\00:33:25.53
How To Commit Murder and Get
Away With It. That's the title
00:33:25.57\00:33:29.04
of the program. I don't know
which one of the networks it's
00:33:29.07\00:33:31.87
on. Who would want (see that)
Hey Mom, how to commit murder
00:33:31.91\00:33:38.45
and get away with it. You know
you can kill Daddy and nobody
00:33:38.48\00:33:41.68
would know about it. I mean I'm
not trying to be facetious here
00:33:41.72\00:33:44.45
but that's what it's in essence
saying. There's somebody in
00:33:44.49\00:33:48.02
school you don't like.
Let's watch that episode tonight
00:33:48.06\00:33:51.33
and may you can kill them and
get away with it. I mean that's
00:33:51.36\00:33:54.16
the mindset that is slowly
degrading the conscious mind the
00:33:54.20\00:33:59.70
natural affection is going away.
And I think that's why we see
00:33:59.73\00:34:03.91
the crimes becoming more brutal
and as the Bible says and Paul
00:34:03.94\00:34:09.54
says, Evil men will wax worse
and worse. You know evil men and
00:34:09.58\00:34:13.48
seducers. And so that's
the category of media now days.
00:34:13.52\00:34:17.89
Instagram, I mean that statistic
blows me away that billion
00:34:17.92\00:34:22.02
dollars for Instagram. Now what
about some of the other ones
00:34:22.06\00:34:24.49
in a moment here?
00:34:24.53\00:34:25.86
So you know one of the popular
social media sites today is
00:34:25.89\00:34:29.40
Tik Tok. That's where a lot
of the young kids are digesting
00:34:29.43\00:34:32.70
I mean hours. They're staying up
till four o'clock in the morning
00:34:32.73\00:34:36.04
because they can't get rid of it
they can't turn it off. So we're
00:34:36.07\00:34:39.64
not only messing with you
know terrible content but it's
00:34:39.67\00:34:44.28
actually biologically addicting
to the point where they don't
00:34:44.31\00:34:48.08
have the capacity to stop it.
And Wall Street Journal did a
00:34:48.12\00:34:54.19
research on what kind of content
is being exposed to these young
00:34:54.22\00:34:59.06
people and they made a bunch of,
thousands, of fake accounts for
00:34:59.09\00:35:03.13
13-year-olds and what they
found is just within a matter of
00:35:03.16\00:35:07.70
signing up, tell them you're 13,
because the way it works is you
00:35:07.74\00:35:10.74
like a picture and then the
algorithm learns what you like
00:35:10.77\00:35:13.04
and suggests things to you and
these fake accounts at the Wall
00:35:13.07\00:35:17.81
Street Journal came up with they
would within one or two clicks
00:35:17.85\00:35:22.58
were suggested pornography to a
13-year-old and they were shown
00:35:22.62\00:35:25.95
straight to the site. So it's
like they created these devices
00:35:25.99\00:35:29.82
that are messing with the
biology of our brains. Almost
00:35:29.86\00:35:33.53
operating in the same manners
of like gambling you know the
00:35:33.56\00:35:37.50
reward system of our brain
and then feeding them terrible
00:35:37.53\00:35:41.80
things that they may have a
lifetime of addiction to. It's
00:35:41.84\00:35:44.87
really something that we feel
called to share some light on
00:35:44.91\00:35:49.01
this. Parents be aware of this
stuff. Do some research. I mean
00:35:49.04\00:35:51.98
you don't have to just listen
to what we have to say about it.
00:35:52.01\00:35:54.15
But do some research. If your
child is into this particular
00:35:54.18\00:35:58.22
piece of media or uses this
social media. I mean just do a
00:35:58.25\00:36:01.96
little digging. Is there
anything alarming that you
00:36:01.99\00:36:04.89
notice anything and that's
pretty much what we've found
00:36:04.93\00:36:07.96
real fast.
00:36:08.00\00:36:09.40
I think it's fascinating because
we've seen a slide in society
00:36:09.43\00:36:13.34
even in the way, things are
rated because what you said is
00:36:13.37\00:36:16.81
absolutely correct. It's a form
of pornography but according to
00:36:16.84\00:36:19.51
the way that the world
identifies it today it's not.
00:36:19.54\00:36:23.28
But guarantee it you take it 50
years ago and it would not have
00:36:23.31\00:36:27.68
been allowed. But right now it's
still on the app because it is
00:36:27.72\00:36:32.65
just slightly above or covered
enough that they will allow it.
00:36:32.69\00:36:37.29
But it's definitely, definitely
pushing people in that direction
00:36:37.33\00:36:40.23
Yeah, good Keith.
00:36:40.26\00:36:42.53
I was just going to say you took
a step back on all of this and
00:36:42.56\00:36:44.57
you looked at media in general.
You say you know what this is a
00:36:44.60\00:36:47.57
mass communication tool. If you
were Satan what would you want
00:36:47.60\00:36:52.27
to do? You would want to have
mass communication. But to keep
00:36:52.31\00:36:56.01
people plugged into that
communication you'd want them
00:36:56.04\00:36:58.41
addicted somehow.
00:36:58.45\00:36:59.78
Let me give you a title real
quick. This is an upcoming video
00:36:59.81\00:37:03.59
you're going to put
together. Mask Communication.
00:37:03.62\00:37:06.15
There you go. Love it.
00:37:06.19\00:37:08.82
Yeah. Coming 2023.
00:37:08.86\00:37:11.46
So you keep them addicted
so that they stay continually
00:37:11.49\00:37:14.13
plugged in, right? If you know
anything about the history of
00:37:14.16\00:37:17.37
media you'll know that there was
a man named John Logie Baird and
00:37:17.40\00:37:22.37
he was a pioneer in broadcast TV
One of the things he used to do
00:37:22.40\00:37:27.14
is he used to go to séances
every night and in that the
00:37:27.18\00:37:33.75
mediums would be contacting
spirits that wanted to help him
00:37:33.78\00:37:38.55
develop television. If you know
the truth of the Bible you know
00:37:38.59\00:37:43.22
that those mediums and
those spirits these aren't dead
00:37:43.26\00:37:46.86
inventors. They're demons.
So you're going to have to ask
00:37:46.90\00:37:49.36
yourself a question, Why
do demons want to help develop
00:37:49.40\00:37:54.57
television?
00:37:54.60\00:37:55.94
Mass Communication.
00:37:55.97\00:37:57.34
Mass communication right? It's
not that the platform itself is
00:37:57.37\00:38:00.28
inherently evil. It can
definitely be used for good
00:38:00.31\00:38:03.31
things. But in other
words what we're seeing is Satan
00:38:03.35\00:38:06.61
sees the potential and so
00:38:06.65\00:38:08.95
he's going to use that potential
for his, his, you know what
00:38:08.98\00:38:14.22
Mrs. White said was his master
piece of deception. And so he's
00:38:14.26\00:38:19.09
using this and keeping people
engaged and addicted because he
00:38:19.13\00:38:21.13
has a message that he's going
to put out in the end times to
00:38:21.16\00:38:25.97
everyone and if you've got
all these people you know on all
00:38:26.00\00:38:28.80
these platforms they can't get
away from them and their minds
00:38:28.84\00:38:32.87
are being corrupted so that they
can't tell between what's good
00:38:32.91\00:38:35.41
and what's evil, gotcha.
00:38:35.44\00:38:37.81
It's a burgeoning creation and
I'm glad you brought up Tik Tok
00:38:37.85\00:38:43.42
because it seems like if
you mention My Space that just
00:38:43.45\00:38:48.56
sounds like did that come out in
1947, it seems so long ago. You
00:38:48.59\00:38:52.73
know. Are you on My Space?
You don't ask that question any
00:38:52.76\00:38:55.33
longer. What is that?
The changes for the next new
00:38:55.36\00:39:00.14
platform and while we're sitting
here some team somewhere is
00:39:00.17\00:39:03.74
trying to come up with a
competitive to Tik Tok and the
00:39:03.77\00:39:07.71
whole purpose of it is to get
them addicted to that platform
00:39:07.74\00:39:11.68
and it's almost a race. How can
we...Because what else would be
00:39:11.71\00:39:16.42
behind paying a billion dollars
for a platform other than you
00:39:16.45\00:39:19.39
want to benefit from all the
addicted people, people that are
00:39:19.42\00:39:23.86
addicted to that platform. Why
would I pay a billion dollars?
00:39:23.89\00:39:25.69
Because that's a lot of
advertising, presumably money
00:39:25.73\00:39:29.90
that will come to me. And
advertisers know if I can keep
00:39:29.93\00:39:33.10
people watching then I can slip
my advertisements in there and
00:39:33.13\00:39:35.77
sell products. But that's
interesting how they do that.
00:39:35.80\00:39:39.94
It chisels away at
the conscious mind.
00:39:39.97\00:39:43.45
Yeah. They say that you know
these things aren't products.
00:39:43.48\00:39:46.35
And they say that
you are the product.
00:39:46.38\00:39:49.28
You know I was just going to say
that I saw a video not too long
00:39:49.32\00:39:51.92
ago called ooo ah...
00:39:51.95\00:39:53.29
I know which one you're talking
about. They said whenever
00:39:53.32\00:39:58.33
something is free you
are the product. It was...
00:39:58.36\00:40:04.50
Social Dilemma. Oh you got a
social dilemma. And people that
00:40:04.53\00:40:08.04
had participated in creating
some of these platforms actually
00:40:08.07\00:40:11.27
looked back in regret and they
said my kids don't have cell
00:40:11.31\00:40:14.64
phones. We don't have television
in our house. We go outside and
00:40:14.68\00:40:17.71
play. We created this. We know
what it does. We are not letting
00:40:17.75\00:40:22.18
our children get affected by it.
But then we have a whole society
00:40:22.22\00:40:26.29
Addictions. I think you may have
heard of the man Simon Sineck.
00:40:26.32\00:40:31.59
And he says to give a kid a cell
phone nowadays, do you remember
00:40:31.63\00:40:36.26
the analogy he connected it to?
Here's a bottle of alcohol, have
00:40:36.30\00:40:41.24
at it. No age limit. He said
it's worse now days getting a
00:40:41.27\00:40:45.51
cell phone. Not the device in
and of itself is dangerous but
00:40:45.54\00:40:49.24
the filtration of it...Oh here's
what I was going to say. And
00:40:49.28\00:40:52.05
when you talk about this it
brought back to my mind...my
00:40:52.08\00:40:54.05
wife and I went to New York City
not too long ago driving around
00:40:54.08\00:40:56.69
you know from Brooklyn so
there's a strong Jewish sector
00:40:56.72\00:40:59.89
of Brooklyn. You know they live
in communities and I noticed
00:40:59.92\00:41:02.76
that the Hasidic Jews the
majority of them had flip phones
00:41:02.79\00:41:07.43
You might want to do a video...
They had flip phones and I kept
00:41:07.46\00:41:10.03
saying to my wife...They all
have flip phones. They all have
00:41:10.07\00:41:17.27
flip phones. And I went to the
Google, Jewish flip phones, and
00:41:17.31\00:41:23.65
they do that to prevent their
children from accessing these
00:41:23.68\00:41:28.32
platforms because they say it
lets the world in. The only ones
00:41:28.35\00:41:32.85
that are allowed to have the
phones that can access media are
00:41:32.89\00:41:36.52
the businessmen for business
purposes. But everyone, all the
00:41:36.56\00:41:40.60
men I saw with flip phones and
I said this is not an anomaly
00:41:40.63\00:41:44.30
this is actual intentional. And
I thought about that. What would
00:41:44.33\00:41:47.97
happen today to the media
platforms if parents said you
00:41:48.00\00:41:51.11
know what we're going to go back
to a phone the purpose of it is
00:41:51.14\00:41:53.88
to call me not to access the...
What would happen? What do you
00:41:53.91\00:41:56.98
think?
00:41:57.01\00:41:58.75
Yeah, you know, I imagine
that it's a bit like losing your
00:41:58.78\00:42:00.95
phone you feel like you know
like oh no you know my life is
00:42:00.98\00:42:04.32
going to fall apart today. I
think we've been so conditioned
00:42:04.35\00:42:07.16
that we need this access to
technology. You know I heard
00:42:07.19\00:42:11.59
a statistic that was saying
we have access to the world
00:42:11.63\00:42:17.40
libraries at our fingertips
and we have access to more
00:42:17.43\00:42:20.10
information in one day that
someone in the early 1900s had
00:42:20.14\00:42:23.94
in their entire lifetime. So we
can just literally speak to our
00:42:23.97\00:42:27.28
phone, give me this piece of
information, and brrr it spits
00:42:27.31\00:42:29.44
it right out right? Um but I
really think that where these
00:42:29.48\00:42:34.58
things can be a blessing the
devil can also easily twist it
00:42:34.62\00:42:39.79
use it for a curse and I think
as we are moving into a more
00:42:39.82\00:42:45.19
technologically advanced society
I mean you start looking at you
00:42:45.23\00:42:48.23
know where they're wanting to go
with the Mediverse and tapping
00:42:48.26\00:42:50.40
everybody in with this really
crazy VR (virtual reality)
00:42:50.43\00:42:54.57
technology I really do...that's
why I go back to the Bible and
00:42:54.60\00:42:57.51
I read the words and it says
you know if Jesus didn't come
00:42:57.54\00:43:00.88
quickly no flesh would be saved.
I think if time were to go on
00:43:00.91\00:43:04.11
far enough we would create so
many devices that literally we
00:43:04.15\00:43:08.15
would all be lost.
00:43:08.18\00:43:10.89
We would physiologically implode
People would just explode on the
00:43:10.92\00:43:14.06
street because they are
overloaded and I think that like
00:43:14.09\00:43:16.96
a machine we'd just cease
to function. Keith, anyone, you
00:43:16.99\00:43:22.80
want to add something to this?
00:43:22.83\00:43:24.17
We are digressing as a society.
Evolution says we are increasing
00:43:24.20\00:43:28.10
as a society and it's an exact
opposite of what's going on in
00:43:28.14\00:43:31.74
those two theories. And so as
you can see I mean our idea or
00:43:31.77\00:43:37.35
God's plan original plan is
completely different than man's
00:43:37.38\00:43:40.78
plan.
00:43:40.82\00:43:42.15
One of the challenges I see
today with parents. You know you
00:43:42.18\00:43:44.45
go out and speak and you get
these questions like, Well what
00:43:44.49\00:43:47.66
do I do? And that's a tough
thing because we have introduced
00:43:47.69\00:43:51.36
a lot of technology perhaps at a
young age when the mind is still
00:43:51.39\00:43:54.80
developing and one of the things
I see that's a big problem is
00:43:54.83\00:43:58.57
self-control which is one of the
fruits of the Spirit, it's the
00:43:58.60\00:44:02.40
last one listed in Galatians. So
I find with my children what I
00:44:02.44\00:44:07.14
am really trying to teach
is self-control because what
00:44:07.18\00:44:13.11
happens when the child wants to
use that platform or they have
00:44:13.15\00:44:16.69
to use it for school or for
whatever purpose and you haven't
00:44:16.72\00:44:20.66
taught them self-control at home
and they go out into the world
00:44:20.69\00:44:22.32
and they lack that virtue and
then they become a slave. And so
00:44:22.36\00:44:28.63
I have these conversations with
my oldest in particular all the
00:44:28.66\00:44:31.10
time and just the other day
we we're talking about it in the
00:44:31.13\00:44:32.60
car I was like look I am trying
to teach you self-control. That
00:44:32.63\00:44:37.01
is more important to me that you
have that than you know if you
00:44:37.04\00:44:41.34
know how to use this device or
you have it or you don't have it
00:44:41.38\00:44:44.25
because you're going to have
to use some kind of piece of
00:44:44.28\00:44:46.72
technology when you go out into
the world to work. You have to
00:44:46.75\00:44:49.42
be able to manage. Well the way
we manage is with the Spirit of
00:44:49.45\00:44:52.95
God giving us self-control so we
need to help instill that into
00:44:52.99\00:44:57.16
our children.
00:44:57.19\00:44:58.69
Mmm that's a very good analogy
about self-control. You know
00:44:58.73\00:45:01.13
there's a text in Isaiah 5:20
Woe to those who call evil good
00:45:01.16\00:45:04.37
and good evil, who put darkness
for light and light for darkness
00:45:04.40\00:45:08.47
bittersweet and sweet for
bitter. That's the battle right
00:45:08.50\00:45:11.94
there, the controversy. Okay
this is good but it's also evil.
00:45:11.97\00:45:13.88
It's light but it's also
darkness, it's sweet but it's
00:45:13.91\00:45:16.48
also bitter and that's the
devices we have in our hands
00:45:16.51\00:45:19.31
today because as you know we are
a media organization. We have
00:45:19.35\00:45:21.88
social media apps. We have 3ABN
plus. There's Amazing Facts,
00:45:21.92\00:45:27.76
there's It Is Written. There's
so much good but on the same
00:45:27.79\00:45:30.43
fountain, the knowledge is there
00:45:30.46\00:45:33.86
I want to point just something
out about the people that are
00:45:33.90\00:45:36.67
sitting in this room. She
watched a video, he...you know
00:45:36.70\00:45:40.84
Brother Keith, he watched a
video. I mean the power that we
00:45:40.87\00:45:43.74
can share the gospel and use the
tool is there but the difference
00:45:43.77\00:45:48.81
is how do you distinguish
between the two and I feel like
00:45:48.84\00:45:52.08
that discernment is what we're
really after, trying to get
00:45:52.11\00:45:55.25
people to decide. How do you
know what you should listen to
00:45:55.28\00:45:58.75
and what you shouldn't. And
we also know that the enemy is
00:45:58.79\00:46:03.59
roaring around, right? He
literally is like speaking to us
00:46:03.63\00:46:07.20
through these devices. Are we
listening to the voice of Jesus
00:46:07.23\00:46:10.83
and that shepherd or are we
listening to the voice of the
00:46:10.87\00:46:13.07
enemy? I think that's a bigger
conversation too with the media.
00:46:13.10\00:46:18.07
Okay. There's lots of work to do
and I think what the Bible says
00:46:18.11\00:46:21.54
as Jesus said, the workers are
few. A lot more workers working
00:46:21.58\00:46:25.15
right now for the opposite
team or they might not even know
00:46:25.18\00:46:28.42
they're working for the opposite
team. But we need more people
00:46:28.45\00:46:30.99
working in media
for the right reason.
00:46:31.02\00:46:32.72
And then in the midst of all
of that along come artificial
00:46:32.75\00:46:36.59
intelligence who works for
no one but works for everyone.
00:46:36.62\00:46:40.30
It loses the pathos and the
compassion of a human and it's
00:46:40.33\00:46:46.07
just programmed to produce.
Somebody was talking about that
00:46:46.10\00:46:49.30
the other day. We were driving
through Florida. All the people
00:46:49.34\00:46:52.11
that used to collect holes don't
work anymore. It's all lights,
00:46:52.14\00:46:55.98
camera, action. Just
drive through and that's what's
00:46:56.01\00:46:58.11
happening to the world. It's not
slowing down. It's speeding up.
00:46:58.15\00:47:00.85
So in the time, we have
remaining let me have you make
00:47:00.88\00:47:04.52
some recommendations because
I want to be able to let our
00:47:04.55\00:47:07.16
viewers and listeners know that
you are available to come and do
00:47:07.19\00:47:10.26
seminars for their churches,
for their schools, for their
00:47:10.29\00:47:13.16
colleges because it's not going
to get less engaging. We're
00:47:13.19\00:47:16.90
entering into an area where it's
becoming more engaging. Matter
00:47:16.93\00:47:21.37
of fact, all that has to happen
for a person to feel like they
00:47:21.40\00:47:25.04
have lost relevance, I forgot my
phone on the airplane. It's like
00:47:25.07\00:47:29.31
the whole world just came to an
end. Talk about how we can help
00:47:29.34\00:47:32.25
and what are some of the ways
that even the viewers can help
00:47:32.28\00:47:36.15
in you going forward and
advancing in creating more
00:47:36.18\00:47:39.45
content and expanding
Little Light Studios' impact?
00:47:39.49\00:47:42.62
Sure you know we would solicit
your prayers. You know I think
00:47:42.66\00:47:46.49
this is a...sometimes it feels
like an uphill battle. No young
00:47:46.53\00:47:51.07
person wants to know that the
thing that they think is fun is
00:47:51.10\00:47:54.44
potentially spiritually damaging
So you know it's a hard and
00:47:54.47\00:47:57.31
difficult demographic of people
to speak to but we really feel
00:47:57.34\00:48:01.94
passionate about this so pray
for us. Another thing too is if
00:48:01.98\00:48:05.88
you have young children I
mean really spend some time
00:48:05.91\00:48:09.68
learning about these things.
There's a lot of information on
00:48:09.72\00:48:11.45
the internet. We have had
how many videos, 400 videos on
00:48:11.49\00:48:17.19
YouTube we have put out on this
kind of stuff. So you know check
00:48:17.23\00:48:20.43
out our YouTube page. Just type
in Little Light Studios onto
00:48:20.46\00:48:24.27
YouTube and you will see all
the topics that we've handled
00:48:24.30\00:48:27.40
and dealt with. And then you
know if you have any desire to
00:48:27.44\00:48:33.98
help us you know like Brad said
we are only a few and God has
00:48:34.01\00:48:39.45
really added to our team
but sometimes we feel like we're
00:48:39.48\00:48:41.58
throwing a rock into the ocean.
It's a big world out there and
00:48:41.62\00:48:45.32
we need more of us and you know
I believe God is making a last
00:48:45.35\00:48:50.33
call so if you have any
desire to help we would love it.
00:48:50.36\00:48:55.36
Thank you, Scott. Now
Brittny from the social media
00:48:55.40\00:48:57.50
perspective. What can you say to
our viewers to encourage them to
00:48:57.53\00:49:00.24
get engaged more
with Little Light Studios?
00:49:00.27\00:49:02.44
Yeah so I think in this day and
age so digital we're called to
00:49:02.47\00:49:06.88
be digital missionaries and so
something as simple as sharing
00:49:06.91\00:49:10.78
our content with friends, family
You know you have the power to
00:49:10.81\00:49:14.42
change up someone's algorithm
by them doing it and also just
00:49:14.45\00:49:18.15
liking and leaving comments
under our videos also you now
00:49:18.19\00:49:24.06
helps us get more reach as well.
So those are just a few things
00:49:24.09\00:49:27.16
that they can do.
00:49:27.20\00:49:28.53
I'm going to throw this
one to Brad. Also, Brad let our
00:49:28.56\00:49:31.63
audience know what are some
of the real tangible ways even
00:49:31.67\00:49:34.24
financially that they could help
Little Light Studios expand in
00:49:34.27\00:49:37.94
their effectiveness as well
as their evangelistic efforts
00:49:37.97\00:49:41.34
effectively Go to the website
and donate because we really
00:49:41.38\00:49:43.75
need your funds, we need your
help to do this because it needs
00:49:43.78\00:49:47.52
manpower. You can be a part
of that process because we are
00:49:47.55\00:49:51.65
working towards the good that's
found in the Bible and not
00:49:51.69\00:49:54.92
against it. That's right. And
some of the things, I mean, you
00:49:54.96\00:49:58.03
guys I know you use computers,
cameras. I know that equipment
00:49:58.06\00:50:01.56
changes so quickly now a days,
what are some of the needs that
00:50:01.60\00:50:03.87
you might have A lot of the
computers we have in the office
00:50:03.90\00:50:07.80
well until recently have been
over 10 years old and you know
00:50:07.84\00:50:12.71
we've held out as long as we can
but now it's to the point where
00:50:12.74\00:50:15.68
technology has progressed and
it slows down your work. And so
00:50:15.71\00:50:20.02
we're in the process of needing
to upgrade some of that. It's
00:50:20.05\00:50:23.18
probably costing us in the
vicinity of 20 to 40 thousand
00:50:23.22\00:50:29.82
dollars. Technology is just not
cheap and one of our dreams of
00:50:29.86\00:50:35.33
course is to make production
faster. One of the ways we can
00:50:35.36\00:50:38.20
do that is with an LED wall. And
those are not inexpensive items
00:50:38.23\00:50:44.44
even small ones. I think I was
sent a quote the other day just
00:50:44.47\00:50:48.34
at 16 x 9 LED wall was somewhere
in the vicinity of $300,000.
00:50:48.38\00:50:52.11
We'd like to have one bigger
than that. We'd like to have
00:50:52.15\00:50:54.68
more than one. So I mean
the sky's the limit but I mean I
00:50:54.72\00:50:59.72
could easily see you know a
million dollars' worth of LED
wall in the studio so
00:50:59.75\00:51:03.36
that we're not using green
screen all the time to film our
00:51:03.39\00:51:07.03
programs and make engaging
content to turn the hearts and
00:51:07.06\00:51:11.33
minds of men.
00:51:11.37\00:51:12.70
And you know I'm looking at the
effectiveness of Little Light
00:51:12.73\00:51:14.17
Studios to this point. The
content on YouTube as thank you
00:51:14.20\00:51:19.84
for pointing that out, Brittny
and all of you that those of you
00:51:19.87\00:51:22.18
who are watching the program can
say hey let me guide my young
00:51:22.21\00:51:25.28
people, my children, my grand
children, my neighbor's kids,
00:51:25.31\00:51:28.08
maybe some of the kids in
your classroom. We might say hey
00:51:28.12\00:51:30.95
today we're going to talk about
social media and one of the
00:51:30.99\00:51:34.19
platforms is Little Light and
I know that we're going to give
00:51:34.22\00:51:37.26
you an opportunity to get
in touch with this ministry and
00:51:37.29\00:51:39.53
find not only spiritual
but tangible ways to strengthen
00:51:39.56\00:51:42.96
their ministry and advance the
effectiveness of counteracting
00:51:43.00\00:51:46.53
the counterfeit. But don't
go away. After this address roll
00:51:46.57\00:51:50.01
we'll be right back.
