looks a little familiar. If you
got to see of a program or a
3ABN, he has a series called
00:01:52.11\00:02:00.88
digital disconnect threats. I
will ask the control room, put
up the open for digital
00:02:00.88\00:02:08.12
disconnect and want to show you
what the set looks like. Here it
00:02:08.12\00:02:12.79
is. Teachers will disconnect. It
airs on Sundays, Tuesdays and
Wednesdays on 3ABN it's and it
00:02:12.79\00:02:23.00
is tough, fascinating program
that we want to encourage. You
to tune in to. no, it's very
00:02:23.00\00:02:29.18
popular. >> It is very popular
because thing I love that Scott,
00:02:29.18\00:02:34.68
he doesn't just say something.
Off the top of his head. Hey,
00:02:34.68\00:02:40.79
Scott. >> Pages and pages and
pages of research and a lot of
your research. You are looking
00:02:40.79\00:02:49.16
at. What brain scientists, this
isn't a religious thing. This is
what professionals. All
00:02:49.16\00:02:55.60
over are saying. What's
happening to our kids? We want
you to kind of summarize what
00:02:55.60\00:03:01.61
we talked about the last part of
the last hour. Counterfeit
reality and then tell us how
00:03:01.61\00:03:10.79
escape >> Yes, how to escape the
kind of reality that's really
00:03:10.79\00:03:12.29
going to be the solution. And
God has the solution to every
single problem. The devil
00:03:12.29\00:03:18.13
creates for us. And we knowingly
participate in. But at what the
00:03:18.13\00:03:22.36
counterfeit reality for the
summit of their stairs to kind
of 2 elements we talked about
00:03:22.36\00:03:26.77
last hour. One is the the
virtual reality. The immerse in
yourself into a screen-based
00:03:26.77\00:03:32.47
plane of existence. Divorce
yourself from the
three-dimensional, the people
00:03:32.47\00:03:38.35
places sights, smells and sounds
God's creation. Satan immerses
us into living online
00:03:38.35\00:03:44.69
with false personas of our south
and ourself into a different
00:03:44.69\00:03:51.73
sort of existence rilling
mentally with our consciousness
merging into that. And that has
00:03:51.73\00:03:54.93
implications of what's coming
down. The line also with
technology. But another aspect
00:03:54.93\00:03:58.97
that we touched on last hour we
can deeply go deeper into if
you'd like here and this
00:03:58.97\00:04:02.80
hour. But Tom, the aspect of a
thought control and deception.
And so when the double dangles
00:04:02.80\00:04:10.81
out, the the worldly enticements
and the the ideology or
00:04:10.81\00:04:15.82
worldview that contrary to the
Bible and people bite on that
hook line and sinker because of
00:04:15.82\00:04:21.59
the conditioning because of the
priming in the mass formation in
the group think that we're
00:04:21.59\00:04:26.90
discussing. So this was a kind
to insidious aspects of what the
devil is up to with media.
00:04:26.90\00:04:31.67
But, you know, in in this, let's
redefine groupthink. Yeah. So
00:04:31.67\00:04:34.60
that's just basically. >>
Someone is programming. Large
groups of people to just
00:04:34.60\00:04:43.91
conform to a certain way of
thinking exactly is the herd
00:04:43.91\00:04:48.98
mentality K? >> Which will
eventually become the whole
world wonders after the Yeah,
00:04:48.98\00:04:53.52
you know, we struggle as people
to be to stand as individuals
partly because of that priming
00:04:53.52\00:04:59.26
and the issues involving the
schooling philosophy in the
media that I want to teach on
00:04:59.26\00:05:03.70
6 hours right now. I can't give
you all the quotes in a
interview setting, but on, you
00:05:03.70\00:05:08.10
know, all of that aside, I was I
was thinking about the Solomon
Asch experiment and
00:05:08.10\00:05:12.61
how that conforming happens.
This is an amazing experiment. A
behavioral psychology
00:05:12.61\00:05:17.65
experiment they did decades ago
and they would have people come
into a room and they were
00:05:17.65\00:05:22.72
going to test this one person in
a row of 8 people to see how he
responds to the group's
00:05:22.72\00:05:29.49
weighing him this way or that.
Now the group is in on the
trick, OK? So it's one of
00:05:29.49\00:05:33.19
these kind of experiments where
there's one guinea pig and he
doesn't know he's a
00:05:33.19\00:05:36.36
guinea pig, OK? So here's how
the game goes. 7 people that are
in there already and
00:05:36.36\00:05:42.24
there. But here comes the 8th
one. Welcome. You're one of 8
people who's going to answer a
00:05:42.24\00:05:46.91
series of questions on these
cards and the experimenter holds
up 2 cards, one of them
00:05:46.91\00:05:53.01
has 3 lines on it of different
links. And what the other card
has one line that matches in
00:05:53.01\00:05:59.42
length. One of the 3 lines on
the other card. So it's meant to
be a very simple quiz
00:05:59.42\00:06:04.49
question that you could give to
a 3 year-old which line over
here. Does this one match
00:06:04.49\00:06:10.13
with? Well, it's the same length
line number and letter a so they
00:06:10.13\00:06:15.07
they remove error from the
equation because they're going
out test the sky to see how he
00:06:15.07\00:06:21.24
responds when all 7 people in
front of him answer incorrectly,
ha and the same incorrect
00:06:21.24\00:06:29.45
answer. They're prepared. Now
the first few cards answer
correctly and guy number 8 is
00:06:29.45\00:06:32.59
sitting there going. This is
easy. What's going on. But then
he all of a sudden here is
00:06:32.59\00:06:36.26
everybody in front of them.
Answer letter be when it's
clearly see on this round. So my
00:06:36.26\00:06:41.70
eyes playing tricks on me. He's
what do I say? It's about to get
to me and everybody is saying
00:06:41.70\00:06:48.14
that it's busy and it's clearly
see. Solomon Asch. The
experiments are found that the
00:06:48.14\00:06:53.71
majority of people, 75% of
people, in fact, one answer
wrong. At least some of the
00:06:53.71\00:06:57.98
time with the group knowing that
they were answering wrong and
some of them didn't even
00:06:57.98\00:07:04.25
know they were answering
wrong. Their eyes were literally
00:07:04.25\00:07:07.96
playing tricks on them because
if everybody says it's be, it
must be be. But the majority of
00:07:07.96\00:07:13.66
those that answer draw, he
interviewed them subsequently
and said, you know, you answered
00:07:13.66\00:07:17.33
some of those incorrectly,
didn't you? And probed as to why
didn't want to stand out. Head
00:07:17.33\00:07:24.21
to head to fit in a peer
pressure. And so we being. You
know, we can secure it to
00:07:24.21\00:07:31.31
social creatures in general.
Sometimes respond to the group
in that way. And that's one of
00:07:31.31\00:07:36.82
the ways that groupthink can
form. And it's not so much the
media manipulation way that we
00:07:36.82\00:07:41.22
discuss in media on the brain.
But it is an important aspect to
think about when the whole
00:07:41.22\00:07:45.99
world wonders after the beast.
When everybody says it's this
way and there's a lot of
00:07:45.99\00:07:49.83
pressure from our peers, from
family, from friends, from those
around us. Will we stand
00:07:49.83\00:07:54.67
for the right though? The
heavens fall, you know, kuz
God's their issues on an
00:07:54.67\00:07:57.84
answer like that. It's an issue
of obedience. It's an issue of
truth. It's an issue
00:07:57.84\00:08:04.18
that has a bearing upon eternal
life. Will we choose Jesus when
00:08:04.18\00:08:09.98
the whole world is taking us as
a herd off the cliff into
destruction. And Mitt. And you
00:08:09.98\00:08:17.06
know, the Milgram. >> Oh,
yeah. The Milgram experiment is
00:08:17.06\00:08:19.06
another interesting one to
understand. >> A little bit how
our minds become con formed in
00:08:19.06\00:08:25.80
this way. the Solomon Asch
experiment taught about group
conformity but the Milgram
00:08:25.80\00:08:32.64
experiment. Explains the power
of of man's authority. So
instead of a group, you
00:08:32.64\00:08:39.58
manipulating somebodys mind this
time, it's going to be an
authoritative figure that since
00:08:39.58\00:08:44.62
he says so it will be done and
you will do things that you
never thought you would do. So
00:08:44.62\00:08:50.63
the researcher Milgram gets
people in and what prompted this
was seeing how? Otherwise decent
00:08:50.63\00:08:54.03
people in Germany who had that
had a Christian background. They
were from families that
00:08:54.03\00:08:58.67
are regular folks became thugs
and not see enforcers and
mistreating people undoing.
00:08:58.67\00:09:07.84
Eventually unspeakable, heinous
human rights violations in
00:09:07.84\00:09:10.68
genocide. How do you get to that
point with just a regular
population of people? And so he
00:09:10.68\00:09:16.58
has people come in and he says,
OK, I'm going I'm going to have
you be a teacher. And the man is
00:09:16.58\00:09:23.99
coming in. Doesn't realize he's
being experimented on in this
way. He just thinks he's
00:09:23.99\00:09:28.26
going to be teaching somebody
how to answer questions on a
quiz and an innovative
00:09:28.26\00:09:32.33
teaching way. And so he the
experiments are says to the
Guinea pig, the teacher. The
00:09:32.33\00:09:39.04
way that you're going to teach
the man on the other side of the
wall in another room to
00:09:39.04\00:09:42.51
answer questions correctly, as
you're going to actually apply.
Electric shock therapy
00:09:42.51\00:09:46.15
have you heard of this one? So
there is nobody being shocked.
There's nobody on the other
00:09:46.15\00:09:52.35
side of the wall taking quiz
questions. But he thinks there
is. The man has answered the
00:09:52.35\00:09:57.73
first question incorrectly. I
want you to apply an electric
shock at low voltage, Pete,
00:09:57.73\00:10:02.76
And then you hear the guy in the
other room in a stay of
recordings of people OK, he
00:10:02.76\00:10:08.04
answered another one wrong
increase. The voltage. Now the
people on the other side of
00:10:08.04\00:10:12.64
the room are screaming and
saying stop, I want the
experiment and because he's
00:10:12.64\00:10:17.41
increasing the voltage
increasing it with every
subsequent wrong answer. They
00:10:17.41\00:10:21.08
actually have somebody banging
on the wall on the other side
pretending that they're being
00:10:21.08\00:10:24.99
shocks terribly and all there is
is an authoritative.
Experimenter. Researchers
00:10:24.99\00:10:30.43
scientist in a white lab coat.
He's an authoritative figure
saying it is imperative that
00:10:30.43\00:10:35.26
the study must proceed. You must
increase the voltage and press
the button and again.
00:10:35.26\00:10:43.10
The vast majority of people
would just keep on doing Even
the k*** was even labeled as
00:10:43.10\00:10:51.21
lethal dose of of electric shock
and they would still press it.
00:10:51.21\00:10:54.65
The majority of them. So it's a
minority that are able to
withstand the pressure of the
00:10:54.65\00:11:00.96
groupthink or the herd mentality
or the conformity to the to the
herd and a minority that are
00:11:00.96\00:11:06.70
able to withstand the pressure
of an authoritative figure that
says that's a tough man. And,
00:11:06.70\00:11:12.27
you know, theologically, there
are some interesting connections
00:11:12.27\00:11:16.10
here because you know, in the
last days it's a test between
God's law and man's law, like
00:11:16.10\00:11:19.44
because man said so. And then
the authorities come in and
mandate and they use coercion.
00:11:19.44\00:11:27.05
And they say worship, according
to the dictates of man's
authority instead of
00:11:27.05\00:11:31.72
God's authority. And so these
the same kind of issues will be
facing us in terms of the
00:11:31.72\00:11:36.73
group taking us a certain
direction or the authority of
man. And I want to say as for
00:11:36.73\00:11:41.50
me in my house, we will serve
the Lord. Now, you know, one of
the scripture always
00:11:41.50\00:11:48.00
troubled me was when Jesus said.
>> Rather will turn against
00:11:48.00\00:11:52.47
brother of parents child and
they'll turn union thinking that
00:11:52.47\00:12:00.32
they are. >> Doing. >> The right
thing doing got a service. And I
00:12:00.32\00:12:07.49
thought could that be when when
the time of tribulation comes
and people are basically we're
00:12:07.49\00:12:14.00
adding another people to turn
them in to authorities and
they're thinking they're doing
00:12:14.00\00:12:17.03
got a surface. Let that be any
just light. I thought I can't
see people getting there until
00:12:17.03\00:12:24.67
recently. When what we've over
the last in her country. Is
forcing people to come so
00:12:24.67\00:12:36.15
polarized. How many call stood
week et about families. Are
turning family members. They
00:12:36.15\00:12:44.59
believe different politically.
They believe different than some
think. And all of the
00:12:44.59\00:12:49.10
they are not. They could have
been Pence for a while. Make
Tokyo separate substance. This
00:12:49.10\00:12:57.64
people each other. mean, it's.
It's going cold. Yes. In the
midst of this polarize
00:12:57.64\00:13:06.25
society. So now I see how people
could. I mean, that's an amazing
00:13:06.25\00:13:14.39
experience experiment. The
experiment. >> And I think
unseen the things that go on
00:13:14.39\00:13:20.06
today. Shows the reality of how
there could be separation. I
know in my own life pretty hard
00:13:20.06\00:13:24.90
for this particular issue right
here. But I'll be able to stand
real deal. Yeah. And you know,
00:13:24.90\00:13:33.21
we have nothing to fear right?
Because greater is he? That is
in you world? that's that's a
00:13:33.21\00:13:40.85
final promising. Remember,
Satan's pH had got create or
00:13:40.85\00:13:45.09
it's no contest. >> Sometimes we
derive our ideas of the battle
between good and evil from like,
00:13:45.09\00:13:51.49
you know, the cartoons and stuff
for the bad guys. Just as strong
as the good guy and
00:13:51.49\00:13:55.03
that's where I got these ideas
as a kid. And then as an adult,
I liked. Satan. While
00:13:55.03\00:14:00.50
he is a wily foe and he's been
he's had practice at deception
for 6,000 years. His power is
00:14:00.50\00:14:05.01
nothing compared to that. got.
And so you just rest in that
piece and knowing that I have
00:14:05.01\00:14:12.75
nothing to fear because perfect
drive out all fear. I love the
Lord. And, you know,
00:14:12.75\00:14:20.72
he has not given us a spirit of
fear, but he's given us us a
spirit of power and love and
00:14:20.72\00:14:26.59
a sound mind? Yes, and that's
not an I Q test. >> But the
00:14:26.59\00:14:31.87
sound of mine has to be because
I just want to say this
counterfeit reality is not just
00:14:31.87\00:14:40.21
happening. The world, the carnal
secular world. There is also
counterfeit reality that's
00:14:40.21\00:14:47.98
happening in There's different
teaching stat. You cannot even
find in the Bible. Yeah, and
00:14:47.98\00:14:53.09
so. The most important thing
that I could recommend to anyone
we're going to talk
00:14:53.09\00:15:00.80
about now. How does skane the
counterfeit reality? But once
again, so let me use that this
00:15:00.80\00:15:08.34
illustration when they are
training people to identify
counterfeit bill. Guess what?
00:15:08.34\00:15:15.38
They don't show him 1000
different counterfeit bills. OK
00:15:15.38\00:15:21.92
say this. That's a counterfeit
no. What they do is have them
the real Until they know so
00:15:21.92\00:15:32.36
well. counterfeit come spy, even
though it's 99% right. But it's
got that one little Marc that's
00:15:32.36\00:15:39.17
counterfeit. So how can we
escape the kind of tape? >> Hey,
man, I'm in regards to
00:15:39.17\00:15:44.97
deception and the example you
are using them in God's word is
the standard and Sony be in
00:15:44.97\00:15:50.45
the word of the word. And
speaking the word teaching the
word and season and all the
00:15:50.45\00:15:55.52
time as we rise up and lie down.
Walk. By the way, it says in
Deuteronomy 6 to speak
00:15:55.52\00:15:58.12
of God's word. So the more that
we are in that you know it as it
00:15:58.12\00:16:08.86
relates to the baptism that has
taken place where people have
immersed themselves in online
00:16:08.86\00:16:15.20
virtual And if heard that would
immerse, you know, it one of my
favorite antidotes for
00:16:15.20\00:16:23.55
media access for hyper
stimulation for a addiction to
media is simply nature. Yeah,
00:16:23.55\00:16:32.32
more of God's beautiful
creation. You know, they did. A
00:16:32.32\00:16:35.56
survey actually of millennial as
young adults while back and they
ask them, what could you not
00:16:35.56\00:16:39.23
live without? And they rank
them. And you know what ranked
higher or what Internet
00:16:39.23\00:16:45.83
connection ranked higher than
hot water and daylight in terms
of things you can't live
00:16:45.83\00:16:50.77
without. And I thought that is
sad daylight. That's seeing
God's creation being out in
00:16:50.77\00:16:58.35
the outdoors. Hearing the birds
singing hot water that's
uncomfortable. Maybe slightly
00:16:58.35\00:17:02.98
gross. But how about God's
creation? You're missing out if
00:17:02.98\00:17:07.26
you're an Internet connection,
higher than that, and there's so
much good research on the
00:17:07.26\00:17:11.79
stress, reducing effects of
nature exposure, how it
lengthens attention span, how it
00:17:11.79\00:17:18.07
reforms transforms us by the
renewing of our minds. It
literally helps to build our
00:17:18.07\00:17:22.87
brain back from the damage
that's been done from the
overexposure to hyper
00:17:22.87\00:17:28.88
stimulating media because
nature's little smart, slow
pace, isn't it? We're talking
00:17:28.88\00:17:33.08
about, you know, sitting beside
the beach with the rolling waves
coming in. We pick your favorite
00:17:33.08\00:17:38.32
place. And going for walks. I
know, depending on the time of
year and where you live, these
00:17:38.32\00:17:42.79
things can be difficult. May may
need to invest in a good pair of
snowshoes in order to
00:17:42.79\00:17:46.19
achieve this. whatever it takes
get outside in Michigan where I
live, I have to God's
00:17:46.19\00:17:51.97
creation is such a wonderful
counter part to that counterfeit
00:17:51.97\00:17:58.41
because it's the original
reality. And as we mentioned,
God's word God's truth. Another
00:17:58.41\00:18:01.81
aspect is how do you counter the
May? I call that the anti social
media. You know, that's our
00:18:01.81\00:18:09.08
social life. You mentioned the
story of the little girl, poor
girl. She thinks that social
00:18:09.08\00:18:14.16
interaction, her brain is being
hit with, though, coming as if
she's getting a social
00:18:14.16\00:18:16.99
connection. Each time that post
or that like or that oh, gee,
appears. But the reality
00:18:16.99\00:18:22.63
is, as you mention, Shelley,
she's missing out on the very
people in arm's reach that you
00:18:22.63\00:18:26.67
can touch and look at the ice
off. So anti social media can
simply be countered by forging
00:18:26.67\00:18:32.24
in developing and deepening the
real relationships we have in
our lives. And that's not
00:18:32.24\00:18:38.15
to say that you can't text
somebody and, you know, have
been in touch that way. But
00:18:38.15\00:18:41.35
that can't be the majority of
our human communication because
it is not social and
00:18:41.35\00:18:47.39
it's not really very human. It's
kind of robotic. It's kind of
00:18:47.39\00:18:49.76
just, you know, mechanical, if
you will. Interaction human to
human. Excuse me has has emotive
00:18:49.76\00:18:55.66
aspects to it. Yes, you know,
we're into this feeling it the
way you talk the way your
00:18:55.66\00:19:03.07
facial expressions communicate
your heartfelt thoughts and
feelings is part of that
00:19:03.07\00:19:07.98
tapestry and beauty of what it
means to be humid, made in God's
image and God is love.
00:19:07.98\00:19:13.65
How do we express love? You
know, you can express it by
sending an encouraging message
00:19:13.65\00:19:16.69
on social media, but even more
so with Huck even more. So when
somebody is suffering and
00:19:16.69\00:19:23.12
struggling and they see you come
near to them, you minister to
00:19:23.12\00:19:26.39
you know, that's personal work.
And that's not to take away from
online digital evangelists and
00:19:26.39\00:19:29.96
we can spread the truth. I like
media, I should tell you when
media was formed, I know we
00:19:29.96\00:19:33.77
talked about that last time we
interviewed, but maybe we should
go there again is a
00:19:33.77\00:19:36.60
case 18. 44, as you know, Daniel
8.14, points to 18. 44 as a
prophetic year, that
00:19:36.60\00:19:43.95
ushers in the last days of
Earth's history. Well, the first
electronic media device
00:19:43.95\00:19:49.22
ever invented with the Telegraph
and it was the year 18. so God
00:19:49.22\00:19:54.39
has a plan to use media, too. 3
ABN. We're doing it right. This
is the act with actual as Asian
00:19:54.39\00:20:02.00
of God's dream to utilize
satellite networks and outlets
that can go clear around the
00:20:02.00\00:20:05.03
world. That's powerful and
wonderful. So. Getting the right
balance, making sure that we
00:20:05.03\00:20:09.70
understand that these things are
inherently the let me put it
this way. The technology is a
00:20:09.70\00:20:16.04
moral right? It's not him it's
not a good thing or a bad thing.
It's depends how we use
00:20:16.04\00:20:23.52
it. And we have to be in the
driver's seat using it instead
of being used by it. Could I
00:20:23.52\00:20:27.76
say this? >> I have noticed
something about. The generation
00:20:27.76\00:20:36.67
of young people. And and I'm
seeing older folk are falling
into the same trapped now what
00:20:36.67\00:20:42.94
we're doing because of all the
media and the constant access
immediate gratification. But
00:20:42.94\00:20:49.58
it appears to be. >> We're very
nup that generation that has the
00:20:49.58\00:20:56.35
attention span of a hummingbird.
Yeah, they just dip in here for
00:20:56.35\00:21:01.59
a second and they depere for a
second ad pair. And they can no
longer focus. And I believe
00:21:01.59\00:21:06.59
something that. Has always been
important to me. I have tap.
Periods of time. Absolute
00:21:06.59\00:21:16.77
silence. That's how I kind
Grounded, I guess it's when I
find that I open up the most
00:21:16.77\00:21:23.78
to the Lord. That is when I get
quiet. But we have young. I
guess, great grand are not
00:21:23.78\00:21:32.19
great grand. We have nephews and
nieces and their children would
be our great nieces and
00:21:32.19\00:21:41.40
They are. Very believe it or UM
militant almost about the amount
of time their children
00:21:41.40\00:21:53.21
are allowed on. Social media.
They you know, they have so
much. I think our 13, she kits
00:21:53.21\00:22:01.68
less than an hour. With any kind
of access. So let's talk about.
Kids being educated
00:22:01.68\00:22:11.46
today. I'm just going work a
second. 1000 things going to
When children are being
00:22:11.46\00:22:20.74
educated today. I want of Times
Square starting them on
computers and online reading
00:22:20.74\00:22:28.11
in things. First. >> And you've
got statistics in his study. I
00:22:28.11\00:22:34.35
changing the way I started doing
some of my reading of the Bible
on Mike phone app. But you have
00:22:34.35\00:22:41.26
statistics that show when you
train like I think you don't
take you don't retain as much
00:22:41.26\00:22:49.16
when you're reading online. So
that. And when we start
children. So I really like age
00:22:49.16\00:22:55.94
for thinking that we're helping
them get a head start. >> Talk
to that. Starting with
00:22:55.94\00:23:03.45
the reading a book reading
versus screen reading of the
exact same tax to compare them
00:23:03.45\00:23:07.38
side by side and the death of a
critical thought. Most
importantly, but just
00:23:07.38\00:23:10.89
comprehension. And as you
mentioned, retention is higher.
When you're reading
00:23:10.89\00:23:14.02
the same text and up printed
book versus a screen, you might
say why? What's the
00:23:14.02\00:23:18.53
difference to the same tax?
We've conditioned our minds to
read a certain way. When we go
00:23:18.53\00:23:23.83
online, there's 5 tabs open.
There's multiple browsers,
different applications. The
00:23:23.83\00:23:29.44
phone is over here. We're doing
that on the phone number
clicking there. I got this.
00:23:29.44\00:23:31.17
And then attacks comes in. It's
a it's a different way that our
00:23:31.17\00:23:36.21
brain functions doesn't go into
its much depth and so
interesting. We are better at
00:23:36.21\00:23:42.08
one thing on screens. Fact
chasing. We can we can quickly
find and identify effect on a
00:23:42.08\00:23:47.06
screen with the same text as
it's in a book. So there's one
advantage, although, you know,
00:23:47.06\00:23:51.76
I'd rather have critical
thinking and efficiency. And,
you know, fact, Jason, because
00:23:51.76\00:23:55.20
I can take my time a little bit
over here. But I utilize
screen-based reading as well.
00:23:55.20\00:24:00.40
And as you're mentioning, you
know, there can be a place for
both. But we have to retain
00:24:00.40\00:24:06.44
our ability to read in a
concentrated fashion cognitively
00:24:06.44\00:24:12.51
cohesively thoroughly so that
you're following linearly and
logically, the ideas presented
00:24:12.51\00:24:15.88
in a text and that takes some
time to unpack. And we tend to
do that better and books
00:24:15.88\00:24:22.42
because that's you know, that
that's how the enlightenment
took place. I mean, the
00:24:22.42\00:24:25.56
reformation after Gutenberg
printing press gave us the
modern mind and the scientific
00:24:25.56\00:24:32.80
revolution and free markets and
civil liberties and all of the
wonderful things that came
00:24:32.80\00:24:36.60
out of that that period of time
called the great Reformation. So
00:24:36.60\00:24:40.74
I want to lose that. And I want
to go into a new dark age, you
know, a digital dark age where
00:24:40.74\00:24:46.15
we've lost the ability to
cognitively comprehend history
beyond the present moment.
00:24:46.15\00:24:50.19
What is the immediate text and
feedback that I get into my, you
know, don't mean receptors
00:24:50.19\00:24:55.92
from the impression that I want
to get on social media right now
or what is that fun
00:24:55.92\00:24:58.39
fact or that interesting tidbit?
How does that hit me right now
00:24:58.39\00:25:03.00
in the present moment, only and
then I'm like you said as a
hummingbird on to the next thing
00:25:03.00\00:25:08.10
in the next thing, actually,
Time magazine actually reported
on a study has saw the headline.
00:25:08.10\00:25:11.34
You now have a shorter attention
span than a Goldfish. 8 seconds.
The average attention span. So
00:25:11.34\00:25:15.88
you are you are literally on to
it with a hummingbird Goldfish
00:25:15.88\00:25:20.38
have a longer attention span and
the average human in the
industrialized world going to go
00:25:20.38\00:25:24.95
fishes 9 seconds. We're 8
seconds. So yeah. On the book
creating retaining that ability
00:25:24.95\00:25:30.06
to read and not losing that with
the next generation because we
do kind of have a illiterate
00:25:30.06\00:25:33.29
population coming up. If they
don't know that style of reading
00:25:33.29\00:25:38.97
that method of literacy and all
you not to do is, you know, you
sound out words. You can make
00:25:38.97\00:25:42.07
sense of a sentence, but it's
not true. Literacy to you're
going into depth like you're
00:25:42.07\00:25:47.08
studying God's word. That's
a deep type of study. >> And in
00:25:47.08\00:25:52.28
I've read several studies and I
believe you brought this have
digital disconnect as well that
00:25:52.28\00:25:55.45
when you look at all the
software developer said create
all of these online things that
00:25:55.45\00:26:00.66
we do even learn things. know,
that in their schools for their
children. They don't even
00:26:00.66\00:26:08.36
allow him to call what they
teach them. How to use critical
00:26:08.36\00:26:13.34
thinking how to research. They
don't allow them to go online.
Tell there well as who wasn't
00:26:13.34\00:26:20.64
it. It >> Yeah. big tech
executives of Steve Jobs did not
have his kids on iPad before he
00:26:20.64\00:26:26.05
died. The iPad was about to hit
the store shelves and they asked
him, you know what your kids
00:26:26.05\00:26:29.25
think of this amazing new
invention. They're going to be
enamored with them. They must
00:26:29.25\00:26:31.02
be on it all the time. Now. He
said no, they never used one. We
have mealtime together as a
00:26:31.02\00:26:36.76
family. There's another answer
to how to escape. The
counterfeit reality is bring
00:26:36.76\00:26:39.69
back some of those traditional
things. But then it's the.
mid-level guys, the engineers,
00:26:39.69\00:26:44.53
all of that gurus, if you will.
The tech wizards of digital far
00:26:44.53\00:26:49.97
makiya. The guys that can make
these addictive guys and
Platforms, apps devices and
00:26:49.97\00:26:58.61
social media platforms. They to
a person. You interview them.
They're very strict with their
00:26:58.61\00:27:00.98
media kind like we're just what
you were describing earlier.
They will put him in schools
00:27:00.98\00:27:06.52
that do not allow ad tech to
come in until high school or
middle school, depending on the
00:27:06.52\00:27:10.49
school. Their nannies are
signing contracts. Like, you
know, your 3 year-old my 3
00:27:10.49\00:27:13.70
year-old is not going to be on a
device. Do real things of that.
Put him in the sandbox,
00:27:13.70\00:27:16.77
go to the park, play with the
play dough to a puzzle. Whatever
00:27:16.77\00:27:22.77
you know. And so they're very,
very strict. And that's in
Silicon Valley Facebook. Google,
00:27:22.77\00:27:26.84
all the big name, big tech
companies. There's a New York
Times Expos in the interview.
00:27:26.84\00:27:29.74
Tons of these people in. Let's
kind of a consensus really among
them that they do tech with
00:27:29.74\00:27:34.62
their kids quite differently
than we do it with ours. And
they're doing that predominately
00:27:34.62\00:27:40.19
for educational. You advantages.
They want their kids to be the
best and the brightest, OK,
00:27:40.19\00:27:44.36
one of the best educational
methods so that they can become
00:27:44.36\00:27:48.76
whizzes and intellectuals. An
interesting way that's going
without media. The tech people
00:27:48.76\00:27:53.07
who want their kids may be to be
the next tech billionaire or
something accusing the tech of
00:27:53.07\00:27:57.84
the early ages. So it's not kids
down when you put them on that.
That's true. And I pay
00:27:57.84\00:28:04.85
and putting it bluntly pout
nowadays they're talking about
putting kids in school by the
00:28:04.85\00:28:07.92
time their age 4. >> Say I think
kids don't even get to be kids
00:28:07.92\00:28:13.62
any more kids are missing out on
their childhood because they're
on these devices. And now
00:28:13.62\00:28:18.43
parents are like all we've got
to start training them up to use
all of this earlier. What
00:28:18.43\00:28:24.13
about going to school if they
too. I'm so glad you asked that.
I'm so glad we don't
00:28:24.13\00:28:30.94
prescriptions interviews weeks.
I have not even thought to
suggested that to be one of
00:28:30.94\00:28:33.11
our discussions because >> that
a huge study just came out of
the state of Tennessee.
00:28:33.11\00:28:38.21
This was reported on NPR. In
fact, our ministries putting out
a newsletter very soon.
00:28:38.21\00:28:42.78
And if if this being watch later
than it would, you can just get
00:28:42.78\00:28:45.72
it after the fact. But a major
report on comparing children who
who attended preschool versus
00:28:45.72\00:28:52.79
those who did not and everybody
in the educational community has
00:28:52.79\00:28:59.07
always said give them a head,
start get him. An organ is
organized school from an early
00:28:59.07\00:29:04.24
age, at least half programs
better yet full-day programs.
There's a book a while back in
00:29:04.24\00:29:05.97
the 90's that was published
called it takes a village and it
was a book about children from
00:29:05.97\00:29:11.45
the age earlier than age 3
should be in sparkling
classrooms and full time. Child
00:29:11.45\00:29:17.52
care professionals and as
somebody believes in the Bible
and the family and the parental
00:29:17.52\00:29:23.59
unit that God has placed as the
guardian of that child's heart
and soul and mind to train
00:29:23.59\00:29:26.59
them for the Lord of the
nurture, an admonition of the
Lord commander children after
00:29:26.59\00:29:29.50
them as Abraham did. It was a
horrifying thought. In fact,
interestingly, that book was
00:29:29.50\00:29:34.44
written by somebody who had been
receiving counsel from one of
00:29:34.44\00:29:40.21
these sort of spiritualists
gurus who is leading the author
and conversations with the dead.
00:29:40.21\00:29:44.15
So that should tell you
something about the book. It
takes a village, but
00:29:44.15\00:29:48.02
nonetheless putting the kids in
school early. The preschool
teachers. Meanwhile, I had a
00:29:48.02\00:29:49.85
wonderful preschool teacher. I
remember her so not to take
anything away from the
00:29:49.85\00:29:53.99
preschool teachers, but the
kids who are put in school later
00:29:53.99\00:30:00.86
perform better academically as
they got older and in through
high school in every subject and
00:30:00.86\00:30:04.57
in more importantly, in that
character development areas,
social problems, detentions,
00:30:04.57\00:30:10.37
suspensions, those types of
things were lower in the kids
who went to school later, not
00:30:10.37\00:30:13.98
earlier. And the researchers
said I don't want to report
this. This is contrary to
00:30:13.98\00:30:19.51
everything I thought and
believed and advocated for. And
all my colleagues are mad
00:30:19.51\00:30:22.88
at me for reporting this. But I
have to tell people the truth.
This is the result of
00:30:22.88\00:30:24.62
the research. So that was a that
was an we knew it. You know,
I've I've read a book
00:30:24.62\00:30:31.86
called Education Education for
over 100 years that has
advocated that we know wait a
00:30:31.86\00:30:36.33
little bit. Let the mother be
the only teacher for the first 8
years, even 8 to 10 years.
00:30:36.33\00:30:40.10
It says that might sound radical
to us. It's an impossible to us.
00:30:40.10\00:30:44.07
But with God, all things are
possible in his ways are always
best. >> And there are the
00:30:44.07\00:30:47.41
exclusions people too. Maybe a
single mother who has to be gone
at work all day long and
00:30:47.41\00:30:55.08
maybe there's an abusive home.
So there's always those who
could benefit. But in general,
00:30:55.08\00:30:58.89
I think it's fascinating that
they're finding quit pushing the
children to grow up.
00:30:58.89\00:31:08.63
>> In skills sense. >> Too
soon let be children. Let them
00:31:08.63\00:31:17.04
experience Scott's nature. Help
them to learn to be critical
thinkers that they can and
00:31:17.04\00:31:24.28
character development. >> That
Chris here just a little bit.
Shelley. Because you keep
00:31:24.28\00:31:29.65
bringing this up. I would like
to know. Don't the main. Re
sceptres. Use that word. 5, 6,
00:31:29.65\00:31:42.13
7, times you get around the
medical feel you hear this quite
often. 25 words or less. How
00:31:42.13\00:31:47.37
does that fit into all of this?
God created us for pleasure to
enjoy life. Where when we do
00:31:47.37\00:31:55.61
good things for him, it
activates the pleasure.
Receptors. Doping is released
00:31:55.61\00:32:00.95
and we feel joy fulfillment. We
figured out a way to do an
end-run around that the drugs.
00:32:00.95\00:32:07.96
Hi stimulating types of food
flavors. Set the big corporate
establishment can manipulate,
00:32:07.96\00:32:13.46
as you mentioned. I've got a
story on that. By the way, media
addictions, they target
00:32:13.46\00:32:20.10
and release doping mean which is
a neurotransmitter that about
250 word just like rest
00:32:20.10\00:32:23.81
of us do. Yeah, that the
neurotransmitter fires off
because it targets the
00:32:23.81\00:32:28.88
pleasure set receptors. The
reward circuit fires off, even
though you deserve no reward
00:32:28.88\00:32:34.45
because you did nothing right
for the Lord that requires. >>
Self-discipline effort the
00:32:34.45\00:32:40.62
runner's high went for a jog.
You did something good for
somebody and got a thumbs up
00:32:40.62\00:32:44.06
or thumbs down. Yeah. I got
a like on my Facebook. proved
00:32:44.06\00:32:49.26
right. >> And they included dad,
was today added opening. So so
to to hone in on the answer of
00:32:49.26\00:32:55.94
what is doping. It is the
neurotransmitter that is a
chemical that bridges the gap
00:32:55.94\00:33:01.58
between 2 neurons. The Senate's
in apps is called The Gap.
00:33:01.58\00:33:05.61
>> There are true transmitter
bridges that gap so that the
electrical circuit can fire
00:33:05.61\00:33:08.58
and your brain. You have that
experience of that Nusra logical
00:33:08.58\00:33:13.02
path way. >> So how important is
that in someone's life? >> You
know, we we will have
00:33:13.02\00:33:17.59
dough coming in our life when
we when we live life God's way.
00:33:17.59\00:33:20.70
Pleasure follows naturally. And
we have a proper amount of it.
And stead of surge of it for the
00:33:20.70\00:33:29.14
wrong reasons because we went on
and website are because we. Ate
or drank or put something in our
00:33:29.14\00:33:35.34
body that we shouldn't have
those kinds of things give a
rush and a flood of doping.
00:33:35.34\00:33:40.12
And you know what happens then?
The receptor start to shut down
because the brain so
00:33:40.12\00:33:48.42
readily available here. We don't
need so many receptors for
whatever reason they start
00:33:48.42\00:33:50.83
shutting Now you need that
higher input in order to get the
same effect and more and
00:33:50.83\00:33:59.13
more. It's a numbing of our
pleasure. You look at the brains
of people who've been
00:33:59.13\00:34:03.57
on drugs and the pleasure
receptors in their brains are
just very muted in the week. A
00:34:03.57\00:34:07.31
normal, healthy, happy brain. It
lights up in just joyful life
of, you know, living in a
00:34:07.31\00:34:13.68
balanced way. That's the same
thing with drugs and media
addictions. So I'm glad you
00:34:13.68\00:34:17.39
asked about that because you
throw these terms out and
opening receptors. What is
00:34:17.39\00:34:21.22
that? Satan's way to get us
addicted? Well, it's something
parent apparently it's good.
00:34:21.22\00:34:27.76
>> Are as bad, just like
anything, you know, got gifts
that you can overuse it. Yeah.
00:34:27.76\00:34:35.84
And you run out of And whenever
you run out of it, well, then
00:34:35.84\00:34:41.64
your personality changes true.
yeah. And then. You've just lost
something. Yeah, you've lost
00:34:41.64\00:34:48.38
joy. You mentioned depression.
Every addiction leads to higher
rates of depression.
00:34:48.38\00:34:52.32
>> not possible to be addicted
to something and not have higher
risk for depression or
00:34:52.32\00:34:56.29
just to be less happy. You start
eating well, I mentioned
unhealthy foods. You start
00:34:56.29\00:35:00.96
adding fruits and vegetables to
your diet for every additional
00:35:00.96\00:35:04.57
for serving of fruit and
vegetables that you add to your
diet, you get a measurable boost
00:35:04.57\00:35:07.60
of happiness in your life. Up to
8, they studied up to 8
additional servings, fruits and
00:35:07.60\00:35:13.44
vegetables. I'm sure it work at
9 10 11 also. But you just add
one additional serving of
00:35:13.44\00:35:18.91
fruit vegetables to your diet
daily die and you feel happier
than you did before you have
00:35:18.91\00:35:20.75
that in your diet. >> I like
that. Pretty good information.
00:35:20.75\00:35:25.89
Yeah, you know, God's ways
always worked best right? He
wants us to have joy. Some
00:35:25.89\00:35:29.26
people have this picture of God
like he's got rules and the
rules are there to just kind of
00:35:29.26\00:35:34.40
dictate to us as some sort of
curmudgeon in the sky, taking
away the abundant living that we
00:35:34.40\00:35:39.97
think we can find in our own
pursuits of pleasure. What a
false notion. Satan is not
00:35:39.97\00:35:44.51
better at pleasure than God is
God is better at players say is
better at addiction. He's
00:35:44.51\00:35:48.48
good at giving a high, which is
followed by a crash which causes
00:35:48.48\00:35:53.88
depression and dysregulation of
the Delta mean reward circuitry.
>> Hey, he's good at
00:35:53.88\00:35:59.29
controlling conforming. He stood
at trying to make to that and
then giving you free
00:35:59.29\00:36:03.79
will say want you to be
conformed. He wants you to
become the robotic. Autumn.
00:36:03.79\00:36:11.47
Autumn. >> Dot com. But I'm I
think it's but, you know, when
00:36:11.47\00:36:15.34
you think about God and pleasure
it guard into the pleasure. Use
the card, the card and of
00:36:15.34\00:36:23.01
pleasure for the eyes for the
nose, for the census that the
touch and the feel. And for
00:36:23.01\00:36:29.78
that 3 thing that tastes. But I
love how. Gautz pleasures. >>
Bring a G satisfaction
00:36:29.78\00:36:40.96
trains from a shooting. >>
But artificially stimulating in
00:36:40.96\00:36:47.14
these, you know, if you get on
cocaine, didn't take long all
before you are. Receptor center
00:36:47.14\00:36:52.44
turned off thing you suddenly
need more and more and more. And
it's the same way with the
00:36:52.44\00:36:59.55
digital connections. True. So
you used when you recording. I
got to produce So you are
00:36:59.55\00:37:08.72
recording disconnect and you
talked year. Try happen.
Explained the pleasure
00:37:08.72\00:37:17.40
trapped. >> Okay. So that's a
term that comes from 1954. From
00:37:17.40\00:37:19.63
a scientific study called the
Milner study. And in this one,
this is where they had the
00:37:19.63\00:37:24.54
mice. The mouse could tap a
lever, a little electronic lever
that had a wire that was
00:37:24.54\00:37:28.54
connected into the brain of the
mouse and right into the nucleus
00:37:28.54\00:37:33.85
accumbens of the brain. That's
where the pleasure reward
circuitry is. So the mouse taps
00:37:33.85\00:37:38.79
the lever and signal goes right
into their in the mouse. Feels
pleasure. So they found the
00:37:38.79\00:37:41.96
easiest quick fix way to get a
mouse addicted, if you will. He
just perhaps that. And it's
00:37:41.96\00:37:48.90
an end-run around normal mouse
living the traditional and
natural routes to pleasure
00:37:48.90\00:37:55.14
that a mouse must acquire
through running on a wheel or
chomping on its healthy miles
00:37:55.14\00:37:58.94
food. All of those are now
negated because the lever is the
route to pleasure. All. I
00:37:58.94\00:38:06.08
want to tap that again, the
mouse as again and again and
again. And they did a number
00:38:06.08\00:38:08.18
of mice on this and what they
found was. The mouse would smell
00:38:08.18\00:38:15.92
as food it's not interesting
taste. I don't want to even eat
my food. I mean, it's going to
00:38:15.92\00:38:18.86
go for the lever again. Should I
run on? My will add that's too
much effort. I just want to tap
00:38:18.86\00:38:23.40
the lever again. So the mouse
would just keep going back to
the lever again and again, not
00:38:23.40\00:38:27.47
eating, not living like a normal
to live. Not thriving. Started
wasting away becoming
00:38:27.47\00:38:33.21
emaciated. And these mice were
on the brink of death. They had
to remove that from them
00:38:33.21\00:38:37.88
or they were starving themselves
literally to death. So they were
00:38:37.88\00:38:42.65
in what's called the Pleasure
Trap. The pleasure trapped as a
scientific way basically of
00:38:42.65\00:38:47.79
saying addiction, if you will.
But it's where the brain just
demands that addictive
00:38:47.79\00:38:53.76
substance or behavior, even
though it means harm to myself
and we humans are rational
00:38:53.76\00:39:01.30
beings, rational a mouse. Can't
reason 3 things quite to the
level that we can. God
00:39:01.30\00:39:06.41
gave us a mind. And so we could
see. look ourselves in the
mirror and be honest and
00:39:06.41\00:39:12.88
say I even know that this is
Jaime, but I can't stop doing
it. It's a pleasure. Trapped
00:39:12.88\00:39:18.39
addiction. And that's where
intervention and help and
admitting that you need some
00:39:18.39\00:39:22.42
help in accountability and no,
you go back to your question
about how to escape these
00:39:22.42\00:39:27.00
things. That's another
counterfeit reality. There's
mind control. Virtual living
00:39:27.00\00:39:33.80
and then theres just media
addictions in general that
becomes our own reality where
00:39:33.80\00:39:37.11
it's my obsession. I have to
have that. I can't live without
00:39:37.11\00:39:43.61
that. And for that type of
addiction, how to escape that
usually involves some help from
00:39:43.61\00:39:47.35
month's where you say honey or
mom or whatever. I've got a
problem. And you know, it. And I
00:39:47.35\00:39:54.09
want to break free from this
because I want to be a slave
anymore and I can't help. But,
00:39:54.09\00:39:59.76
you know, I'm in the pleasure
trap. And I want the power of
Jesus prayed for me. Hold me
00:39:59.76\00:40:03.87
accountable. Take my stuff away.
Do whatever is needed. >> tell
about the calls you
00:40:03.87\00:40:08.00
get from newlyweds. I was just
mentioning that. >> We do get
00:40:08.00\00:40:14.54
calls Weds and they're very
concerned because my husband.
Doesn't say much keen post too.
00:40:14.54\00:40:20.78
Talk to He does want to spend
time with May. This is well what
you are too gather. issue. We
00:40:20.78\00:40:27.92
don't do much together anymore.
He can't wait to get home from
work and run in and going get
00:40:27.92\00:40:34.00
over is games. Cause. I guess
it's like that now. So you know,
this is keeps coming
00:40:34.00\00:40:40.80
like that. It is. That's a sad
situation because it's one thing
if you're your own life.
00:40:40.80\00:40:45.47
Yeah, it's something else. If
you bring. That special person
00:40:45.47\00:40:51.75
into it. Yeah. >> So to help
somebody, you know, because we
hear this quite often. married
00:40:51.75\00:41:00.26
couples are calling this June,
really, the wife who's doing the
complaining saying my husband
00:41:00.26\00:41:04.86
is on his games all the time. To
help someone overcome this.
First. They've got to
00:41:04.86\00:41:11.23
recognize this is a problem,
it's having destructed tissue
saying, you what, most people
00:41:11.23\00:41:18.64
don't recognize that on their
own. You might even pointed out
and they don't recognize
00:41:18.64\00:41:21.88
it. But what you have to do and
and I say this. It said they
found re. Making boundary
00:41:21.88\00:41:30.99
keeping got we take a 10
Commandments. It was to run in
the path of righteousness, he
00:41:30.99\00:41:38.66
says. And I that humid heat in
my commandments your piece would
have been like a man. So
00:41:38.66\00:41:45.07
these commandments are not Trick
shuns, right to control us. It's
00:41:45.07\00:41:53.24
to give us a path that we can.
Run in his government of love.
So when you put boundary SAP and
00:41:53.24\00:42:02.95
I think this is very important
probably good thing to do before
00:42:02.95\00:42:10.16
you get premarital counseling,
some boundaries and it comes
down to that. You people still
00:42:10.16\00:42:17.03
to treat my husband like child.
I don't tell him what to do
because I'm not mother. But if
00:42:17.03\00:42:22.57
tapes, if you are doing
something like this, we have a
serious top there be some
00:42:22.57\00:42:27.81
boundaries. It's going to be
between this time and this time.
And if you can't through year
00:42:27.81\00:42:34.18
spouse on your own, get your
pastor and everybody else
involved. That's my $0.2. You
00:42:34.18\00:42:38.95
know, when you mention the path
of pleasure and freedom, I was
taken back to Eden.
00:42:38.95\00:42:43.39
>> The Garden of Eden. We talk
about the tree of the knowledge
00:42:43.39\00:42:48.53
of good and evil. The one that
we should not eat We don't all
the rest we felt we should not
00:42:48.53\00:42:53.00
touch Hollywood. We should not
touch the music industry. It's
all it's demonic. Lee infuse.
00:42:53.00\00:42:57.67
The spiritual it's my control as
a whole bunch of worthless
nonsense. Vanity at best anti
00:42:57.67\00:43:02.28
Christian at its norm. So don't
touch it. But you just said it
of these ye may freely
00:43:02.28\00:43:09.35
eat, enjoy the abundance of
that. To the wife that calls in.
I would also ask how much
00:43:09.35\00:43:16.16
time are you on social media? So
fair question. I'm not excusing
00:43:16.16\00:43:24.03
the husband in the least. I
preach at the husbands much
harder as you've noticed. I
00:43:24.03\00:43:29.37
preach at men to be because I'm
a man. So maybe ladies need to
be harder on the ladies. I don't
00:43:29.37\00:43:32.31
know. But I would ask that
question because what if the
wife tried this and and the
00:43:32.31\00:43:39.15
boundary think because you can't
be an enabler of an addict. John
Mann boundaries are key.
00:43:39.15\00:43:42.52
Interventions are needed. And
another tack you can take it is.
I just cited. I have a
00:43:42.52\00:43:50.39
problem with media says the wife
to that video game addict. It
has been I know I'm
00:43:50.39\00:43:56.67
on my social media too much your
humbling yourself at this point.
I'm going to do a 30
00:43:56.67\00:44:02.34
day social media fast. Keeping
accountable. And by the way, as
a reward, I've skew I'd
00:44:02.34\00:44:09.74
like for 2 weekends from now for
us to go to this resort. We like
this camp out or we're
00:44:09.74\00:44:16.12
going to go on a trip together.
We're going to do a little
vacation a long weekend
00:44:16.12\00:44:20.09
together and she can make it
really enticing to him. You
know, we're going to run
00:44:20.09\00:44:23.19
really nice time together as
video games are left at home.
And this is where we can have
00:44:23.19\00:44:29.06
those talks. FOX in that context
of relational connectedness. We
00:44:29.06\00:44:33.23
have that revival and rebirth of
that love. She's admitting that
she's not perfect. And then
00:44:33.23\00:44:41.54
that's what that's a win some
way to be able to have that
confrontational conversation
00:44:41.54\00:44:44.55
where you need to lay down those
boundaries firmly. That's good.
00:44:44.55\00:44:49.68
You know, I was just thinking
earlier that you're talking
about kids. >> I talk with so
00:44:49.68\00:44:54.06
many parents who take their kids
into the mountains or something
and they'll say, OK, we're going
00:44:54.06\00:44:58.43
to no media this. We can exactly
the parents are going like even
00:44:58.43\00:45:05.13
for the parents they're having
with All the kids whining way.
>> No no TV. What you know,
00:45:05.13\00:45:11.37
movies. >> And it's interesting
because it takes several days
00:45:11.37\00:45:15.41
to make that disconnect before
people really start have kind of
been there. They say they
00:45:15.41\00:45:22.98
have the best times they've ever
had I just want to we can just.
10 minutes left. We were
00:45:22.98\00:45:29.16
talking about. Shaping society
and how group think we've got
people that are pulling some
00:45:29.16\00:45:38.67
strings, trying to make us
puppets. Social media. We're
having a negative impact. The
00:45:38.67\00:45:53.18
group think and how it
influencing the development of
sight. Talk to There's no
00:45:53.18\00:45:58.55
doubt about that. In fact, that
some of the founders of social
media have admitted as
00:45:58.55\00:46:03.26
much and they know the anatomy
of how these platforms are
designed to function.
00:46:03.26\00:46:07.93
>> They say we deliberately
we're giving people a dull
coming hit and getting them
00:46:07.93\00:46:10.87
addicted to try to keep them
contributing more content to our
platform because we can't
00:46:10.87\00:46:16.54
We change the color schemes. We
change the sounds the sights,
everything they can do
00:46:16.54\00:46:20.94
and a sensory perception type of
way. Kind of like Pavlov's dog
that you mentioned to keep
00:46:20.94\00:46:25.85
us salivating. For more of those
pleasure hits that we get on
there. But not just
00:46:25.85\00:46:29.55
that they shape you're thinking
too. It's not just to keep your
00:46:29.55\00:46:35.22
keep you on their for their
advertising. Bottom line so they
can be more profitable. There is
00:46:35.22\00:46:40.63
a worldview agenda in big tech.
Just so as much as there is in
Hollywood. And we've accepted
00:46:40.63\00:46:46.33
that about Hollywood, that they
have an agenda. They pushing an
00:46:46.33\00:46:49.34
ideology, an anti-Christian
ideology. What about big tech?
What about search engines and
00:46:49.34\00:46:55.14
social media? Do they have a
perspective that they are trying
to push forward are
00:46:55.14\00:47:01.08
certain muted. Our shadow band
are other things elevated. Our
warnings put on this that
00:47:01.08\00:47:06.76
maybe it's just free speech
and dialogue and scientific and
00:47:06.76\00:47:10.69
>> may actually said I heard
it recently. They knew they were
00:47:10.69\00:47:14.46
putting out misinformation, but
it actually got warm response.
So they did it on purpose.
00:47:14.46\00:47:19.13
>> was Yeah, it's big business.
That sure is a Sean Parker, the
00:47:19.13\00:47:24.07
founding president of Facebook
right there with Mark
Zuckerberg. >> He said we know
00:47:24.07\00:47:28.28
that we were exploiting
vulnerabilities in human
psychology. So you're preying
00:47:28.28\00:47:31.58
upon people's weaknesses
securities, people who tend to
be the issues with social
00:47:31.58\00:47:38.25
media. You mentioned it's
affecting our society in men,
mental health and emotional
00:47:38.25\00:47:41.82
health of young people,
particularly young girls to most
age 12 to 14. There was a
00:47:41.82\00:47:49.06
threefold increase in suicide in
that age group in just a 5 year
period of time are so
00:47:49.06\00:47:54.24
when social media was becoming
big and you think how is that
even possible threefold
00:47:54.24\00:47:58.24
increase a 20% increase would be
making headlines. This is
hundreds of percent increase
00:47:58.24\00:48:04.61
of suicide and depression
anxiety, all sorts of mental
health conditions on the rise.
00:48:04.61\00:48:11.79
For those who are a little more
just just at fragile stages of
life or that's their
00:48:11.79\00:48:16.66
personality or in securities
from childhood. You've got young
women, even and men as
00:48:16.66\00:48:19.29
well. People needing the
validation that the social media
offers them because I'm
00:48:19.29\00:48:25.13
not somebody. I mean, I don't
have worth and value until I've
been approved of on
00:48:25.13\00:48:29.10
there. So I go there to get my
sense of self-worth, which is
not a healthy place to be
00:48:29.10\00:48:33.48
getting it because it's shifting
sands. It's man's opinion. It's
00:48:33.48\00:48:37.81
false. It's not really social in
delegating in the relational Sen
and it counterfeit reality
00:48:37.81\00:48:43.12
because what I not talk with
people. >> I'm not just speaking
off staff and the head. I've
00:48:43.12\00:48:47.62
talked with people who have said
to me, people think I have such
wonderful life only
00:48:47.62\00:48:53.33
post pictures of me. We have all
dolled up for when I'm at my
best are doing this. And I
00:48:53.33\00:49:01.54
only show the happy news, you
know, looks like where we're
going and I mean, callous
00:49:01.54\00:49:07.04
where we are. But she said my
husband and I run news. Triple
our children are miserable and
00:49:07.04\00:49:12.88
she said everything I post is a
lot. It's it's a false So then
you've got other people,
00:49:12.88\00:49:20.92
especially young kids. We're
looking this. They get body
images and their thing. know
00:49:20.92\00:49:26.43
I'm now This is what's
acceptable. It's a mess. >>
Before IOUs, last question
00:49:26.43\00:49:32.13
here. But it's a trickle down,
though. Let's just talk about
the 12 year-old. Well, she's
00:49:32.13\00:49:38.97
getting her information. Let's
just say from an 18 worst, the
18 year-old getting her
00:49:38.97\00:49:43.35
information and then her their
information. And so it's just
it's if you can see. Satan
00:49:43.35\00:49:49.05
working at his best sure stream
this man. This is just really,
really situation. But
00:49:49.05\00:49:56.32
us. We certainly should expect
this and we should just read
more. Yeah, we knew this was
00:49:56.32\00:50:04.43
coming. That's exactly right. We
are. There's always principals
00:50:04.43\00:50:12.54
involved in life. What ours,
some of the principles
overcoming bad media I have to 2
00:50:12.54\00:50:19.11
word combinations. I'm Jesus
Christ. His power, his promise,
00:50:19.11\00:50:24.19
his presence, something better,
something the have to replace.
The addictive habit. The thing
00:50:24.19\00:50:28.49
I'm spending my time on what I'm
putting my thoughts on what I'm
feeling my mind with. I
00:50:28.49\00:50:32.93
have to not just throw the
garbage away. >> But Phil, the
00:50:32.93\00:50:36.93
life of something better. So
Jesus going to him with
repentance and seeking his power
00:50:36.93\00:50:40.47
to overcome. And then the
practical programming plan of
replacing the time I'm
00:50:40.47\00:50:45.27
spending with something better.
That's that was at closer to 25
00:50:45.27\00:50:49.44
words. I was better than my
doping answer which went on a
little long. But that is the key
00:50:49.44\00:50:53.48
question news out the most
important question. So they're
somebody at home thats just
00:50:53.48\00:51:00.49
extremely measurable. They just
don't think they can go any
further south discontented. do
00:51:00.49\00:51:07.93
they need to do? Get out of that
right? So that they've got
meaning in their life. You
00:51:07.93\00:51:15.54
know, I want to speak to that
person specifically and just say
the first thing that your
00:51:15.54\00:51:21.71
father in heaven wants you to
hear is you are loved. Doesn't
matter what you've done, who
00:51:21.71\00:51:26.95
you think you are, what you
think your value is what other
said about you. What's been
00:51:26.95\00:51:31.82
done to you? God loves you. He
forgives you for all your sins.
You go to him a week and
00:51:31.82\00:51:39.16
with nothing to offer and he
fills you with all of the
validation with all of the
00:51:39.16\00:51:44.53
power with all of the promise
that we ever thought was even
possible is beyond. That's a
00:51:44.53\00:51:50.37
pipe Well, I'm telling myself
and every struggling soul who
wants that victory that Jesus
00:51:50.37\00:51:58.08
has offered the answer. He says
you are my beloved child I'm
well policed. Don't let
00:51:58.08\00:52:03.72
the accuser come in and say that
you are not worth it to God.
Jesus Christ died for
00:52:03.72\00:52:10.53
your sins. Let the power of the
Gospel speak deeply into your
heart. And then you start
00:52:10.53\00:52:16.53
to say now I can develop a
program and a plan because until
we feel like we're worth
00:52:16.53\00:52:19.67
it. What's the point? But I'm
telling everybody and I used to
say the storm, my students
00:52:19.67\00:52:28.01
say it to my children and I hear
it from gone myself every
morning I opened his word
00:52:28.01\00:52:32.11
because he speaks his truth to
your soul and says I have a plan
for you. I love you. Get
00:52:32.11\00:52:36.92
to work and here's how I feel
about you. it's it's God's
message of affirmation to us
00:52:36.92\00:52:43.89
every day. We need to hear that
again and again to know that we
can. Dig ourselves by
00:52:43.89\00:52:52.00
the grace and merits and power
of Christ out of the holes that
we are in that you say
00:52:52.00\00:52:54.74
what do you say to a person is
in that situation? Feels
powerless. It starts by
00:52:54.74\00:53:00.34
knowing that God God believes in
you and not because he knows
what Christ did for you
00:53:00.34\00:53:04.28
and that will do in you. And he
knows that you have an issue he
00:53:04.28\00:53:10.39
cares. >> You know, he hears
he does. He sais. >> I like what
00:53:10.39\00:53:19.59
you tell people when they call
in and they're not sure I'm for
that. They believe in God or
00:53:19.59\00:53:24.37
not. You always tell them in the
middle of the night they can't
00:53:24.37\00:53:32.07
sleep. Let me say. >> What I've
told many people in. And they've
come back and they said, Is in
00:53:32.07\00:53:39.08
the middle of the night, you
find yourself that perhaps you
just restless. At that
00:53:39.08\00:53:43.95
particular time. I don't use the
Salar de if you're for real. If
you're for real Lord. Police
00:53:43.95\00:53:48.62
impress upon my heart. Give me a
direction. The way that
understand it, God is ready
00:53:48.62\00:54:00.30
all-time. 24. 24 24 everything.
Okay. Normally if you have an
00:54:00.30\00:54:07.51
issue, you're encapsulated. So
how the other. And so he's
looking for the crack so that
00:54:07.51\00:54:13.52
the Holy Spirit can go in there
and do what called the spirit
That's called healing time.
00:54:13.52\00:54:18.09
That's a good place to start a
man so hot. If you find
yourself. Measurable, that's
00:54:18.09\00:54:27.60
where the capital him your
measurable. Unused. Find
yourself restless. Just invite a
00:54:27.60\00:54:33.90
guard. If you're for real, I
give you permission to prove
yourself to may. No black and
00:54:33.90\00:54:39.94
white westerns. That's where
hear the bugle low because the
cover was coming. know. Try
00:54:39.94\00:54:52.05
prayer is guaranteed to be. >>
when you asked the father for
the Holy Spirit, it's like
00:54:52.05\00:54:56.86
a child asking bread from his
father. Jesus said he's not
going to give you a stone.
00:54:56.86\00:55:02.10
It's a prayer that is guaranteed
to be. And you will receive the
00:55:02.10\00:55:03.80
Holy Spirit. When you ask that
prayer, you just asked them out.
