We're going to be talking about
00:02:06.76\00:02:10.19
reaching out to youth in the

that how the devil is trying
00:02:10.19\00:02:15.20
to distract encapsulate the
minds of people and pulled away
from Jesus, especially
00:02:15.20\00:02:20.77
the young people will be talking
with little light studios and
00:02:20.77\00:02:23.44
what they are doing. 2 to battle
that has got is using them to
share the gospel and to spread
00:02:23.44\00:02:29.01
the light of the good news of
Jesus Christ by exposing the
enemy's plans that he's using
00:02:29.01\00:02:34.15
through media and how how you

your host and so excited
00:08:00.41\00:08:05.48
because we have little light
studios with us. And I want to
go ahead in just introduce you
00:08:05.48\00:08:10.69
guys, because there may be
someone that's not familiar with
you when we got a couple
00:08:10.69\00:08:13.72
of new faces with us here today.
But I want to start down at the
00:08:13.72\00:08:17.73
other in here. We'll start with
Keith Keith Detwiler. You are
the little light studios your
00:08:17.73\00:08:22.56

a little bit about what you do
for a little light studios.
00:08:22.56\00:08:25.93
That's a good >> What a lot
of things because we all tend to
00:08:25.93\00:08:31.51
wear a lot of Everybody's kind
of a jack of all trades one that
could be ordering stuff for
00:08:31.51\00:08:38.58
the office. I could be doing.
Research could be headed in a
video we could be on set
00:08:38.58\00:08:41.85
filming something you just never
know. Everybody is a little OK?
00:08:41.85\00:08:46.99
So just mold. That seems like
what we do here. 3 BNA all pick
coming together as a family. We
00:08:46.99\00:08:50.89
just wear multiple hats and get
the job done. Got you. Alright.
Praise the Lord. Scotty Meyer.
00:08:50.89\00:08:54.10
>> You're familiar face. So my
brother, tell us what you do for
a little light studios.
00:08:54.10\00:09:00.67
>> The same with Keith. I do a
little bit of everything. I feel
very fortunate to kind of
00:09:00.67\00:09:04.34
be able to be creative, put
videos together, kind of be on
the right side of things said
00:09:04.34\00:09:10.51
designing you name it's a joy to
work with all these guys. They
all have special talents.
00:09:10.51\00:09:16.32
Keith, I think, you know, this
company have a little easy, but
vested in something
00:09:16.32\00:09:20.59
happens like ours is like if we
can't figure it out, it's a
little button that just says
00:09:20.59\00:09:24.29
Keith on it like Hill. Do it
figured out you have a lot of
that's awesome. And you're
00:09:24.29\00:09:30.23
that you're the speaker of the
director of Studios and >>
probably probably have
00:09:30.23\00:09:34.80
heard your voice many times and
many times on the DVDs and the
program that you guys
00:09:34.80\00:09:39.24
produce. And so we'll talk a
little bit more about that a
little while. But want to go
00:09:39.24\00:09:42.94
now to your left and talk and to
Brad Burnham. Brad, you're the
producer, one of the
00:09:42.94\00:09:48.08
producers, I suppose. And what
is it specifically that you do
for a little light stuff?
00:09:48.08\00:09:51.49
You're well, my background is a
97 helping a lot with the new
facilities that we just
00:09:51.49\00:09:56.86
got putting in all the different
features that we have there. But
00:09:56.86\00:10:01.76
also we producing. >> Help in
designing the sets and putting
00:10:01.76\00:10:04.33
that together. So a lot of
different hats and a lot of fun,
though. A praise the Lord. All
00:10:04.33\00:10:08.64
right. Looking forward to talk
more with your brother. >> And
then we have Brittany
00:10:08.64\00:10:12.41
Devereaux and I almost want to
say definite role because it's
it's it's that friends a name,
00:10:12.41\00:10:18.58
but it's a beautiful name and
it's good to have you, Britney.
00:10:18.58\00:10:22.18
And so what is it specifically
that you do for a little light
state? So mainly what I do donor
00:10:22.18\00:10:26.49
relations and social media
managing and so. >> I kind
connect what's going in the
00:10:26.49\00:10:33.46
office and let people know
outside the office what's going
on. And so. >> I'm just managing
00:10:33.46\00:10:37.23
social media, keeping people
update on what we're doing,
whether it's speaking
00:10:37.23\00:10:40.40
engagements or videos that have
come out. And then sometimes I
do graphic design as well so
00:10:40.40\00:10:48.14
that you are right now as you
guys really do wear multiple
hats to pre-load for that. All
00:10:48.14\00:10:50.18
right, Scottie, I'm coming back
to you because, again, you know,
we we have the wonderful
00:10:50.18\00:10:54.95
blessing of having new viewers
all the time. It's someone's
00:10:54.95\00:10:58.49
watching. >> They're hearing a
little light studio for the very
first time. So tell us a
00:10:58.49\00:11:00.92
little bit about what is little
light studios. What do you guys
00:11:00.92\00:11:04.89
do? What your purpose, your
goal, your agenda? What is the
Lord using a little light
00:11:04.89\00:11:08.63
studios to do? And I know we're
going to go into much detail
tonight, but tell us a little
00:11:08.63\00:11:12.87
bit about little like stadiums.
Sure. We are a media That is
really our passion and
00:11:12.87\00:11:21.04
>> took film studies and school
ended up working in television
00:11:21.04\00:11:25.61
for 10 years. I'm really it was
kind of something that led me
astray. And when God, when my
00:11:25.61\00:11:29.92
heart back, I really had a
passion to to get involved in.
And Christian media and really
00:11:29.92\00:11:36.69
using those gifts talents to
spread, you know, God's truth.
And so it's been an absolute
00:11:36.69\00:11:45.03
joy. I'm jumping on board. It's
like, you know, we've been at
this almost 13 years
00:11:45.03\00:11:49.50
now. I 2009, I started. So it's
been it's been an awesome
journey. And as we've kind of
00:11:49.50\00:11:58.08
really grown, we've really kind
of began to build a
communication with the youth
00:11:58.08\00:12:02.18
of our church. We felt very
passionate about reaching that
demographic because sometimes
00:12:02.18\00:12:06.22
they're the least spoken to and
it's not because we don't want
to. It's just a hard
00:12:06.22\00:12:11.56
demographic to get to Anna. So
we just kind of raise their hand
and said, Alright, Lord,
00:12:11.56\00:12:17.00
send us, will do it. And now we
feel passion to really reach
that demographic. Amen.
00:12:17.00\00:12:21.60
And just to just to speak to the
fact that you mentioned the
youth, we know you're
00:12:21.60\00:12:24.01
primarily trying to reach that.
>> That younger crowd, but I
00:12:24.01\00:12:27.18
mean, little light studios exist
for everyone, right? Because,
00:12:27.18\00:12:31.05
you know, we know that media
addiction and the issues of
distraction and all the things
00:12:31.05\00:12:33.38
that Hollywood is doing, it
affects everyone, not just the
youth, but it seems like it's
00:12:33.38\00:12:37.72
becoming more of a. Primary
issue with the people who are
just, you know, they're the next
00:12:37.72\00:12:44.99
generation. But we're seeing a a
major impact as they've grown up
in this media filled age. So
00:12:44.99\00:12:48.76
speak a little bit on that for a
moment. >> Well, to kind of like
00:12:48.76\00:12:52.67
touch on a little bit of like,
what are these things that
recreating? I was very much a
00:12:52.67\00:12:57.81
movie fan. I didn't grow up with
a lot of that, but obviously
going and then being
00:12:57.81\00:13:02.08
trained in school for that and
then ended up in Los Angeles I
that was my passion. So I
00:13:02.08\00:13:07.48
really soaked in all the latest
and greatest movies. And so when
00:13:07.48\00:13:12.12
we when we first came out, the
very first project we ever
worked on was was really just
00:13:12.12\00:13:18.53
picking apart. Like what is the
message that's coming out of
these movies and and more
00:13:18.53\00:13:21.33
specifically like, like reading
the Bible. Does that say the
00:13:21.33\00:13:25.80
same thing is that movie? And
often when you hold that that
Bible up to that piece of media,
00:13:25.80\00:13:30.71
the real quick, there's a stark
contrast for sure. But, you
know, we say we aim at the
00:13:30.71\00:13:35.48
youth and you're right. The
reality of the situation is like
a lot of these Hollywood
00:13:35.48\00:13:41.48
things have age that they're
that they're, you know, they
reach anybody. And so, you
00:13:41.48\00:13:46.59
know, we've we've come across in
our ministry, a lot of the
elderly that maybe perhaps or
00:13:46.59\00:13:51.59
are stuck at home may have a TV
temptation is kind of just it
flip through and something
00:13:51.59\00:13:56.20
catches your eye and, you know,
I've I've firsthand people that
00:13:56.20\00:14:03.07
you think would never be
watching these things, right.
And they're engaging in and a
00:14:03.07\00:14:06.54
lot of this modern media. So
it's really just trying to
educate and teach our church you
00:14:06.54\00:14:12.28
know, using the tools of media.
Sure what, what what kind of
makes it a good thing. kind of
00:14:12.28\00:14:15.72
makes it a bad thing. I'm an
absolute you like you want to
see. So you are Argent is
00:14:15.72\00:14:22.36
basically flipping for 8th
through 11th. You're right. We
want to focus on what the
00:14:22.36\00:14:24.76
Bible says primarily. >> And the
good in all things. And that's
00:14:24.76\00:14:29.60
not what the Hollywood is trying
right time. Most of the time.
It's the opposite. They're
00:14:29.60\00:14:33.80
trying to focus on the stealing
the danger, the killing. And
that's what really comes to
00:14:33.80\00:14:39.87
come to mind when think of
Hollywood. So, yeah, absolutely.
00:14:39.87\00:14:43.81
Absolutely. So just have to ask
for the quickly because we're
going to get into Brittany. And
00:14:43.81\00:14:48.05
and Brad Story just a moment how
you guys came in because I know
you guys are fairly new
00:14:48.05\00:14:50.52
with with little light studios.
But I just have to ask this
because I don't know
00:14:50.52\00:14:55.96
how >> involved or not the each
one of you were, you know, in
00:14:55.96\00:14:58.16
your user going up and watching
movies and how you're affected
by media, maybe talk
00:14:58.16\00:15:03.83
a little bit about your your
personal experience on. Did you?
Did you have a a problem
00:15:03.83\00:15:08.70
making that transition from and
maybe a media addiction, a movie
addiction, a Hollywood,
00:15:08.70\00:15:14.91
you know, addiction to freeing
yourself from that because I
know like he's got I grew up.
00:15:14.91\00:15:20.58
You know, I wasn't necessarily
raised in of and I race in a
Christian home. But we were
00:15:20.58\00:15:26.55
completely an educated and had
no clue about the power
Hollywood, the power of of how
00:15:26.55\00:15:33.13
how the devil is using, you
know, TD TV and media movies and
social media and all these
00:15:33.13\00:15:37.20
different media outlets to grab
the mind and completely just,
you know, distracted
00:15:37.20\00:15:43.77
from Christ. And so maybe you
guys can speak on your personal.
00:15:43.77\00:15:48.81
was there a point your life or
you might have been really
engulfed in that and then you
00:15:48.81\00:15:51.78
learn the truth. Was there a?
Was or difficulty making a
separation from that into where
00:15:51.78\00:16:00.56
you are now. >> Absolutely. I
talk about that. What's what's
amazing about that is 10 years
00:16:00.56\00:16:04.19
ago. I'd say probably more than
that. Now is back in 2010. I
think when I when Scotty
00:16:04.19\00:16:09.00
present some amazing, very
powerful presentation us and
they they they shock me. I
00:16:09.00\00:16:15.30
mean, I was I was so taken aback
by what he had showed there that
00:16:15.30\00:16:19.67
he had taken apart bits and
pieces of the movie into here.
This is actually what you're
00:16:19.67\00:16:24.28
watching. This is what's in
there. And I had seen those
exact same movies. >> But never
00:16:24.28\00:16:28.08
even seen the scenes that he had
put in. Right. And so I realized
later that these things are
00:16:28.08\00:16:34.42
affecting me in changing my
character. And that's what was
holding me back from having
00:16:34.42\00:16:38.43
that closer walk with Jesus
Jaeger up that you know, pretty
conservative Christian,
00:16:38.43\00:16:45.63
I guess I would say. About 14
years old. My family left the
church altogether as over
00:16:45.63\00:16:54.48
something very silly. And it was
at that point that the media
really came in. And so
00:16:54.48\00:17:00.32
from 14 to 21, that's how we I
think fill the void in our life.
I remember during that
00:17:00.32\00:17:06.09
time I went to pick up a Bible
off the shelf. I wasn't in the
habit of reading the Bible for
00:17:06.09\00:17:11.26
myself for a reason. I knew the
Bible stories. Sure. When I went
to open it up and read
00:17:11.26\00:17:17.47
it, it was just like I'm not
really getting anything out of
this. It, you know, there is a
00:17:17.47\00:17:25.07
barrier right? And so I put it
back on the shelf and I didn't
pick it up for years. Now.
00:17:25.07\00:17:30.35
Still have the Bible stories. My
mom read these blue books to us
and had Yeah. And we
00:17:30.35\00:17:36.02
knew those stories. But I wasn't
reading the Bible and really
understanding doctrine
00:17:36.02\00:17:43.69
or theology or anything really,
very deep. Sure. So I get to
college. I'm tested by
00:17:43.69\00:17:49.03
this lady would become my wife
one day with this idea. Most
people don't know what they
00:17:49.03\00:17:53.74
believe are why they believe it.
Right. And so I started thinking
00:17:53.74\00:17:58.81
and I started studying for
myself and it was then I
started, you know, really
00:17:58.81\00:18:03.35
understanding. Hey, there's
there's things in the Bible. I
don't know things I need to
00:18:03.35\00:18:08.88
know. So a period of time goes
by. You know, we're married. I'm
working and I was working a
00:18:08.88\00:18:14.09
second shift job. Sure. And I
was getting home late because
second shift is over at 10
00:18:14.09\00:18:18.76
o'clock and where I worked and I
was staying Upto 01:02AM, in the
morning watching a television
00:18:18.76\00:18:22.96
program that I never watch when
it was in, sees it like when it
was on when it was a thing. But
00:18:22.96\00:18:30.67
it intrigued me. I went back and
watched all the episodes later.
I mean, binge watch
00:18:30.67\00:18:33.41
who, you know, have the zone
after episode after episode. And
I thought, you know, it
00:18:33.41\00:18:38.48
was during this time that God
started to kind of played my
mind a little bit because I
00:18:38.48\00:18:42.75
had to struggle. I really knew
that God wanted me to work in
some kind of ministry capacity
00:18:42.75\00:18:50.93
right? I had to change things in
my life. And one of them was
media spoke that very
00:18:50.93\00:18:59.77
clearly change what you're
eating change, what you're
watching but wanting to move
00:18:59.77\00:19:01.87
anywhere. Any change in that
order? And then when I see the
information, then it. Yeah,
00:19:01.87\00:19:08.04
it's very clear. And now I have
the opportunity to teach my
children. The reasons that
00:19:08.04\00:19:13.92
I learned again from the same
presentations of Bradshaw. Same
guy, same place right.
00:19:13.92\00:19:20.96
Same information. And it was
very it was very impactful. I
had the reason that I needed
00:19:20.96\00:19:26.80
right and I think people need a
reason. It's easy to be. It's
easy to be addicted to.
00:19:26.80\00:19:32.83
Thank And you know, during that
time when when it was coming in,
00:19:32.83\00:19:38.51
I mean, you name it. We've
probably seen it. We've got to
the video store as a family walk
00:19:38.51\00:19:43.58
in any any given week and be
like all the newest latest.
Whatever's on a shelter 100
00:19:43.58\00:19:48.15
titles. Sina Sina, Sina I mean,
you could just go in and we've
seen it all. And then you find
00:19:48.15\00:19:51.72
you're going back to the old
stuff. What with what we've not
seen? You know, at this top
00:19:51.72\00:19:58.86
affects your character. And I
think that's exactly what he
what he was saying in this. And
00:19:58.86\00:20:01.06
I think it's fascinating that
just like you, my my testimony
was that someone had to step
00:20:01.06\00:20:06.87
forward and say Brad, this is
not the way this is not you not
doing things right. This
00:20:06.87\00:20:12.67
is not according to what you
believe in the Bible. And I had
to had to kick back a
00:20:12.67\00:20:17.15
little bit. I think you had a
similar experience for you. You
had your wife, you watch
00:20:17.15\00:20:20.88
the for Ye. And I wouldn't say
it was like really hard because
when God is working on
00:20:20.88\00:20:25.85
your harsher. So the other thing
like and part of like my eating
habits and So I worked.
00:20:25.85\00:20:32.63
I worked a at the university
teaching at the time is going to
school and teaching the
00:20:32.63\00:20:37.87
same time and in lab I was
teaching Kathleen's a like a big
no, no and chemistry lab.
00:20:37.87\00:20:45.44
This is it at all to turnaround
agenda to carcinogen. you know,
00:20:45.44\00:20:48.98
all these things right? But I
was drinking caffeine. Okay. I
remember 1 one class period. I
00:20:48.98\00:20:56.95
downed a 2 liter bottle of
Mountain Dew in a single class
period. That's a lot of
00:20:56.95\00:21:03.86
caffeine in your system or
Mountain Dew is you typically on
the higher end of effect.
00:21:03.86\00:21:07.13
Sure, because we tested that
lab. We would find out which are
the ones have the most
00:21:07.13\00:21:10.77
caffeine. And so I I and or
conviction, I pray this prayer,
Lord, I want to quit.
00:21:10.77\00:21:16.44
I just don't headaches because I
know can cause God made it easy
on me. I recognizing you
00:21:16.44\00:21:22.48
change something. God made it
really easy on me. I quit cold
turkey. No headaches ever
00:21:22.48\00:21:26.01
present So in that sense when
the other things come, it was
easy because caught it already
00:21:26.01\00:21:32.89
laid the groundwork from my
heart. Absolutely. I think that
00:21:32.89\00:21:39.09
bringing up an interesting
point, though, that that to me
is fascinating. After doing this
00:21:39.09\00:21:41.43
for a decade and a half almost.
>> In traveling around and
00:21:41.43\00:21:44.93
trying to teach and educate
because I mean, look at the
stories I was I was I grew up
00:21:44.93\00:21:48.54
in the Christian church, read my
Bible. I understand
intellectually a lot about the
00:21:48.54\00:21:54.78
Bible and was easily led astray.
Same sort of thing. We're not
00:21:54.78\00:21:57.51
trying to say. I want to be
rebellious and and therefore,
I'm just watching all this
00:21:57.51\00:22:04.55
terrible stuff. It just creeps
into life in the fabric of
society is built around this.
00:22:04.55\00:22:09.46
And so I think there's a lot of
well-meaning people that get
caught in these and they don't
00:22:09.46\00:22:14.63
recognize that even though it's
just entertainment, it's got a
message for you. Yes, and now
00:22:14.63\00:22:20.27
message is very much so often.
Officers are on much and a
agenda with with Hollywood
00:22:20.27\00:22:25.87
these days. I'm just you know,
I'll tell you, I have a TV. I
have certain streaming
00:22:25.87\00:22:31.68
services and you know me my life
to do. You know, we try to
practice this much we can
00:22:31.68\00:22:37.05
to safeguard ourselves, but I'm
amazed every once in a while.
But now, you know, this
00:22:37.05\00:22:41.29
will read something about a show
and you think it's real
innocent. And it's, you know,
00:22:41.29\00:22:44.19
it's got a good review is
supposed to be clean. >> But
they still sneak in
00:22:44.19\00:22:48.26
this particular, you know,
agenda items that come
completely, you know, against
00:22:48.26\00:22:52.10
God's plan to completely against
God's will. And it's just the
00:22:52.10\00:22:57.51
subtlety of it. It just amazes
me. And I know we're going to
talk a little bit more about
00:22:57.51\00:22:59.84
this. I want to take just as
just a moment. I know you were
going to talk so much more
00:22:59.84\00:23:05.11
about. We'll get a little bit
deeper. We'll talk about what
you guys are doing, focusing on
00:23:05.11\00:23:07.88

just a moment. But I want to

media outlets. This is
opportunity for you to send in
00:23:27.47\00:23:31.17

in-depth conversation. Doesn't
00:24:09.68\00:24:12.41

into the story of Britney in
00:24:12.41\00:24:16.08
and bred here because I know you
guys are kind of the newest
people on the block
00:24:16.08\00:24:20.89
here, but the Lord is using you
to a mighty way to help out
former point form of a
00:24:20.89\00:24:27.13
great connection with a little
light studios and and part of
the team in reaching the world
00:24:27.13\00:24:31.07
with this message. And so, Brad,
want to start with you because I
00:24:31.07\00:24:36.00
knew when I first saw you grow
guy looks familiar and right
before we started the program
00:24:36.00\00:24:40.41
tonight, you said you know what,
you look familiar? Did you go to
And I remember when I was at
00:24:40.41\00:24:45.85
APCO, you are one of the I T
guys. They're an amazing facts.
But now the Lord has
00:24:45.85\00:24:49.98
brought you. >> 2 little lies,
studio. So let's talk about your
00:24:49.98\00:24:54.12
story, man and how you got
connected with a little light
studios. Orwell actually started
00:24:54.12\00:24:58.29
a long time ago before it even
started amazing facts and Thanks
for almost 10 years.
00:24:58.29\00:25:01.83
But I started out in a in Hawaii
doing a start-up company when I
00:25:01.83\00:25:08.44
fell away a little bit from the
Lord and I decided you, I really
need to study this stuff better.
00:25:08.44\00:25:12.37
I need to get back on him to go
to after Co understands amazing
program after MS. It
00:25:12.37\00:25:18.68
really is like drinking through
a fire hose. I went through that
00:25:18.68\00:25:25.65
and he was doing presentations
there. I thought he was just
some guy in the crowd that was
00:25:25.65\00:25:27.89
help me try to figure out some
audio problem because there's
always something that comes up.
00:25:27.89\00:25:31.03
Every time you try to present
something good for the rest of
the media sayings working in
00:25:31.03\00:25:35.40
the background, the rise trying
to do something. >> So so well,
00:25:35.40\00:25:39.57
as we're done doing this,
setback on the front row and I
sat back and then he got up on
00:25:39.57\00:25:43.51
stage at the O this guy's the
presenter. And so let me sit
there in the front row and
00:25:43.51\00:25:49.14
absorb everything. He was
saying, sure through that
experience. I ended up putting
00:25:49.14\00:25:52.98
my resume on Pastor Doug
Bachelor's desk and some of the
people in the company. They
00:25:52.98\00:25:57.25
called me later and up spending
about 10 years at the company. I
my wife there and membership in
00:25:57.25\00:26:04.66
a lot going Ended up ended up
saying, you know what? It's time
for me to come back home
00:26:04.66\00:26:07.50
to Tennessee. Sure where I live,
where my wife has family has
God, God's work in this
00:26:07.50\00:26:12.27
all out long before I even knew
it. And Scotty had just moved
00:26:12.27\00:26:18.54
from Paradise. California to
Tennessee. It is right call,
Scott. Yes, it's got to I want
00:26:18.54\00:26:23.14
to move back to Tennessee. What
do you think? He said come work
with me. I have a little bit to
00:26:23.14\00:26:27.98
add to that, too, because Brad
has semi kind of. >> Worked
with. That's the way
00:26:27.98\00:26:32.65
back in the beginning of our
ministry because if you
remember, he had seen these
00:26:32.65\00:26:38.33
presentations and he like I made
you guys a trailer and all of us
00:26:38.33\00:26:44.23
and sends me this trailer thing
was like a Hollywood I mean, it
looks like we had made this film
00:26:44.23\00:26:48.14
this amazing production and he
was like excited about it. there
you go. So he's kind of
00:26:48.14\00:26:53.81
had some interaction with our
ministry over the years and he's
made videos sent into us.
00:26:53.81\00:26:58.11
And just, you know, here it made
a video that's just like what
you guys make and why he
00:26:58.11\00:27:02.08
got. So it's fun to have him
aboard. it took 10 years. Hey,
man, it's always great to have
00:27:02.08\00:27:11.03
the new talent and you guys do
such amazing job with what you
do. There. Seeing a lot of
00:27:11.03\00:27:14.30
your content and and you're not
just tonight. He guy, I mean,
the orders placed to
00:27:14.30\00:27:20.67
just particular talent upon you
to be able to communicate and
share the word of seeing a
00:27:20.67\00:27:24.81
few of the programs. You and
Mike, you've done us mothers and
00:27:24.81\00:27:28.21
you guys are great speakers and
>> the road is giving a gift to
communicate recent work for
00:27:28.21\00:27:31.78
that. But now we got to
transition to Britney. Britney
is the new. She's down her
00:27:31.78\00:27:36.65
shaken first live experience. >>
But the it's OK, it's OK, the
Lord's through. Haha. So
00:27:36.65\00:27:43.22
Britney, tell us your story. How
in the world did you get
connected to little light
00:27:43.22\00:27:47.50
studios? >> Yeah, I think it's
crazy because we all have like
00:27:47.50\00:27:52.10
these God intervenes stories of
how we got here. I actually was
a student missionary in Hong
00:27:52.10\00:27:56.34
Kong when I found out about
little light studios. Well, I
was staying at the college
00:27:56.34\00:28:02.21
that they had out there. And
during vespers, one of the youth
pastors was just showing
00:28:02.21\00:28:07.52
one of the videos,
things about this NIE. >> I had.
00:28:07.52\00:28:12.75
>> I mean, I I always felt
called to but get away from and
just kind of like spend
00:28:12.75\00:28:18.29
less time on it because I mean,
for me, it was social media. I
00:28:18.29\00:28:22.53
was like scrolling all day long.
Watching TV all day long been is
watching all day long as the
00:28:22.53\00:28:28.10
site. If God were to read my
life back to me, is this a
really all that he's going to
00:28:28.10\00:28:34.31
see us like? all I'm doing is
just scrolling and I could be
spending that time with him. And
00:28:34.31\00:28:39.88
I feel like I was just like
spiritual asleep at the moment
and seeing that video kind of
00:28:39.88\00:28:43.55
well coming up. And then it just
became part of my sabbath
morning routine. Since I was
00:28:43.55\00:28:49.52
13 hours ahead. So it wouldn't
be a bike, 7th mornings. A led
light would come out. And so I
00:28:49.52\00:28:54.66
remember just like getting more
into the ministry. And I'm just
00:28:54.66\00:28:57.60
kind of watching their stuff.
And I remember just I'm trying
to follow them on social media.
00:28:57.60\00:29:04.51
It was like God, like I would
love to help social media so you
could like you and me. It's all
00:29:04.51\00:29:07.34
there. >> But the awesome. But
it is not your plan. I'm OK and
so up coming back. And I had a
00:29:07.34\00:29:12.01
year left to graduate college
and then like one random Sunday,
00:29:12.01\00:29:18.95
I went to the bookstore. It's
like a used bookstore. One, my
favorites in Tennessee and all
00:29:18.95\00:29:24.16
I'm looking through the free
book spin and all I hear is
someone behind me Sadie's. Have
00:29:24.16\00:29:28.66
they seen the great controversy
books and there and I was like
and I look back. It was
00:29:28.66\00:29:37.07
>> You I know you and I was like
no, that I see you on the late
00:29:37.07\00:29:41.38
studio. >> We just talked for a
little bit. And then I was
asking if they had internships.
00:29:41.38\00:29:44.55
And so then I ended up stopping
by the office and then it just
kind of led to a job like at
00:29:44.55\00:29:51.59
the perfect time. Sounds about
right so Hong Kong. >> Praise
the Lord. Livin the
00:29:51.59\00:29:58.16
dream but a dream praise. The
Lord knows literally. I mean, in
this case, you know, God
00:29:58.16\00:30:01.26
places us, you know, where we
need to be. And you guys are a
great team. So praise praise
00:30:01.26\00:30:07.54
the Lord for what you guys are
doing. So OK, so I've got to get
back to now what what we
00:30:07.54\00:30:09.80
were talking about before,
because you know, I see, you
know, we're going talk about
00:30:09.80\00:30:15.31
the youth because your
particular focus for you guys
have shifted her focus to this
00:30:15.31\00:30:20.02
younger demographic, this
younger age group in May. I see
it. I I get it and you
00:30:20.02\00:30:28.29
know, being, you know, working
with with kids and my wife's a
teacher and saw I've seen the
00:30:28.29\00:30:32.39
effect of media on the younger
generations and it's amazing
because how how do how does
00:30:32.39\00:30:37.57
the Bible it often seems like
I asked this question sometimes
00:30:37.57\00:30:42.00
how is how is the Bible going to
compete with Harry Potter? How's
the Bible going to be with Lord
00:30:42.00\00:30:45.77
of the Rings or Marvel or, you
know, all the Hollywood is
stalling out there these days.
00:30:45.77\00:30:48.94
Now. You and I from a more
mature Christian perspective. We
can't we can't imagine you
00:30:48.94\00:30:54.98
need your drama or you need your
action. You you know, whatever
it is you need like
00:30:54.98\00:30:59.19
the Bible is full of that stuff
so I can go to there I'm in tune
with that. I can get
00:30:59.19\00:31:03.49
my fix in my high on action and
drama. All that from the
scriptures. But the Hollywood
00:31:03.49\00:31:08.43
seems to to enemy is using
Hollywood to just captive 8 and
to just steal away the
00:31:08.43\00:31:12.93
minds of our youth. And so.
Let's talk about why you're
choosing at this point to
00:31:12.93\00:31:19.74
focus on the use. And that is
just from your own perspective
as the ones who are working on
00:31:19.74\00:31:23.45
on on reaching the minds of the
youth. Let's let's transition to
00:31:23.45\00:31:26.85
the conversation. I really think
I'm if I kind of look back over
where where did I depart
00:31:26.85\00:31:34.79
from? And as I started kind of
engage in watching these, it was
00:31:34.79\00:31:39.49
in my teen years. >> And I was I
was trained in in the Bible.
mean, there wasn't a Sabbath
00:31:39.49\00:31:43.30
that I did not miss going to
church is a family. And so I had
the information. But then as
00:31:43.30\00:31:48.10
these things started competing,
I'm really the truth got choked
out by the fascination with
00:31:48.10\00:31:54.48
the entertainment and and as I
got older and I think one of the
things that I gravitated
00:31:54.48\00:32:03.05
to with superheroes, yeah, I'm
you know, they have ritual kind
of conversations going on
00:32:03.05\00:32:07.56
in these movies there about the
end of the world and and, you
know, this war going to
00:32:07.56\00:32:14.20
cosmic war many You know? yeah.
So the Devils, really clever. I
00:32:14.20\00:32:20.17
think he gets this to identify
because that's why we watch the
movies that we want. Right,
00:32:20.17\00:32:24.31
Weise, find something that we
are identifying with in there.
So I had all in religious ideas
00:32:24.31\00:32:30.08
and then I just gravitated
quickly made the switch. Sure
the problem then be can when
00:32:30.08\00:32:34.62
ICE really started coming back,
reading the Bible with my own
00:32:34.62\00:32:40.66
eyes and seen the information to
be like. Did he just say that?
And then it's like, wait, what
00:32:40.66\00:32:43.36
does the Bible say about this?
And as I really started to even
just uncovered just a few things
00:32:43.36\00:32:49.36
like superheroes, Greek and
Roman gods right, that Superman
00:32:49.36\00:32:54.50
is That man is the Haiti's man
is Neptune hair flashes, Hermes.
These are say these things you
00:32:54.50\00:33:05.58
think in said interrupt, right?
I mean some legitimacy to what
you're saying. You're not just
00:33:05.58\00:33:08.45
saying this because you you have
pieced together, but because the
00:33:08.45\00:33:10.05
>> authors of it have actually
told us that they are Greek and
Roman gods handed down to
00:33:10.05\00:33:15.62
us. And this is not a new
problem. This is like Satan has
no new tricks, right? just
00:33:15.62\00:33:21.03
perfect. Do you how he's getting
this in there? He's tripped up
culture sense Egypt
00:33:21.03\00:33:27.20
syndrome and this and that with
the same they just get repackage
to us today. Right?
00:33:27.20\00:33:33.74
So when when I kind of really
started, you know, mulling over
this because of my own
00:33:33.74\00:33:37.25
fascination with this, I think
it was just turning around and
teaching them and then seen,
00:33:37.25\00:33:43.79
you know what, if we can open
their eyes to this had an early
enough age right then
00:33:43.79\00:33:49.39
hopefully we will see them
continue to to want to have
gotten their life and not just
00:33:49.39\00:33:54.93
be walking out the door. And and
you know, many don't come back.
Tiller. comeback ever.
00:33:54.93\00:34:01.07
So I think that the target is
really we've got to give them
this last. This is the reason
00:34:01.07\00:34:07.31
why this book is in Prime right
here and let's get him. Let's
get weakens to this
00:34:07.31\00:34:13.01
reality right now. I believe
Jesus is coming soon. Sure. you
know, that's that's what
00:34:13.01\00:34:17.72
drives us for our passion. No,
absolutely. I can relate to what
you're saying because,
00:34:17.72\00:34:20.76
you know, when you think about
it, a lot of people of all ages
are affected by, you
00:34:20.76\00:34:24.16
know, the media today. >> But,
you know, meant most of us, at
00:34:24.16\00:34:28.03
least a few was sitting at this
table. You know, we've lived in
a time, maybe as children are
00:34:28.03\00:34:32.43
youngsters, but we lived at a
time when there was still social
media when there was no
00:34:32.43\00:34:35.37
cell phone, these are things
that was introduced to us. So I
look at like my parents, my
00:34:35.37\00:34:39.74
grandparents, you know, the the
older generations, the vast
majority of their lives,
00:34:39.74\00:34:43.98
they lived without these things.
And it's just been introduced to
00:34:43.98\00:34:48.25
them. You know, as you know,
middle aged or older adults. But
yet the youth of today, I mean,
00:34:48.25\00:34:54.06
these these kids are growing up
being bombarded from one years
old, 2 with IPads and cell
00:34:54.06\00:34:58.76
phones and, you know, animated
television series and movies and
all these things so that
00:34:58.76\00:35:03.93
they're growing up. They they
don't know life without me. They
don't know life without
00:35:03.93\00:35:07.94
Hollywood, without television,
without cell phones, without
social media. And so I could I
00:35:07.94\00:35:11.97
totally get the focus of these
our next generations. These are
the generations it's going
00:35:11.97\00:35:15.51
to be the next church right? And
so we have to do something. And
00:35:15.51\00:35:20.65
so you know but how do we reach?
>> That's the How do we reach
part of the problem is what's
00:35:20.65\00:35:25.69
your normal right? All right.
Whatever your normal is to you,
00:35:25.69\00:35:33.93
you don't know any different
right? So you just kind of plot
along you think of the children
00:35:33.93\00:35:36.36
of Israel. They were in
generations of young people that
grew up and they never knew
00:35:36.36\00:35:40.54
anything but being a slave. And
tell, you know, the into those
400 years and they're delivered
00:35:40.54\00:35:48.34
now. They know the difference
and what it's like to be a slave
and what it's like to be free
00:35:48.34\00:35:52.71
right? I like what it says in
acts 26 verse 18 because this is
it's like. In it. You know?
00:35:52.71\00:36:00.79
Yeah, in caps leading the
gospel. Sure. It says. To open
their eyes in order to turn
00:36:00.79\00:36:07.73
them from darkness to light and
from the power of Satan to God
that they might receive
00:36:07.73\00:36:13.70
forgiveness of sins and in
Herrin among those who are
sanctified by faith in that's
00:36:13.70\00:36:19.87
what our work is about. All
right. That's what that's what
Jesus came to do for all of us
00:36:19.87\00:36:25.05
is to open our eyes and free us
from cent. And you're never
going to find that in any
00:36:25.05\00:36:31.65
other They don't have the power
and they don't have the right.
To do that. They don't
00:36:31.65\00:36:38.96
have the authority. So all they
can do is is to give you a doper
mean you know, that's
00:36:38.96\00:36:45.40
it. They can give you a maybe a
feel-good feeling, but they can
free you from We have to
00:36:45.40\00:36:50.67
get people to understand that
they're broken. They're going to
00:36:50.67\00:36:55.54
come to that point eventually
and they they will get to the
point where they're they're
00:36:55.54\00:36:58.31
broken and they're going to
realize that thing that they see
on TV as an offer them anything.
00:36:58.31\00:37:04.95
And now they need something they
need to feel fill that void in
some way. What's going to fill
00:37:04.95\00:37:10.36
that void? Only Jesus can truly
feel that Right? Absolutely. And
I think something that we
00:37:10.36\00:37:17.23
aim to do is like sky. So we
know that crisis coming soon.
But we also want to prepare
00:37:17.23\00:37:23.17
the youth to the influencers for
highs, not the influence, right?
And we're called to be
00:37:23.17\00:37:28.58
set apart. And so what we're
really wanting is for people to
be Disciples, York highs
00:37:28.58\00:37:32.95
into. >> You know, like Stan set
apart to be an example because
00:37:32.95\00:37:36.52
we are bombarded with all these
negative examples through media.
00:37:36.52\00:37:40.46
There's a message being
delivered to us. But how are you
going to counter that? You know,
00:37:40.46\00:37:44.13
how are you going to stand in
the way and do something
different? Show a better way
00:37:44.13\00:37:46.93
of life, even if you're the only
one doing in your area. You
know, absolutely. Sue,
00:37:46.93\00:37:50.60
like what you said there. We
want to make them disciples so
that they can change. You
00:37:50.60\00:37:55.54
know, this, this whole dynamic
of what's happening in our world
00:37:55.54\00:37:57.37
today. >> But yet. To to make
them disciples, they have to be
disciples. And so that's what
00:37:57.37\00:38:03.55
the question is. So how does a
little light studios? But the
mission that got us late on
00:38:03.55\00:38:06.55
your heart? How do you
accomplish this? You see the
issue. See the problem. You
00:38:06.55\00:38:13.59
see the addiction. You see how
the devil is just completely
Lombardi. Unwrapping. His
00:38:13.59\00:38:18.63
darkness around the minds of
the EU today through Hollywood,
00:38:18.63\00:38:20.66
through social media to all
these different media platforms.
How what? How has got what is
00:38:20.66\00:38:26.63
God placed in your heart and how
what is the function or or the
the purpose of the agenda that
00:38:26.63\00:38:31.81
you guys have to address this
problem? So through prayer, we
are here stepping in front of
00:38:31.81\00:38:36.48
the danger by putting ourselves
on YouTube by putting ourselves
on the media platforms that
00:38:36.48\00:38:41.68
these primarily young people put
themselves on and watch. And so
by that they see this
00:38:41.68\00:38:47.82
and they say, hey, there is
something better. They said they
say there is that these
00:38:47.82\00:38:53.36
watch our programs and our
programs point them back to the
Bible and say this is the
00:38:53.36\00:38:57.87
inspired word of God. This is
the truth and look at what the
other part of the problem is
00:38:57.87\00:39:04.94
that exists here. Not just on
social media. We don't believe
that all media is bad that all
00:39:04.94\00:39:10.98
social media is better. But we
do believe there are a lot of
bad programs, a lot of bad
00:39:10.98\00:39:17.05
situations on them that
dangerous. And so we point those
out and put those in the
00:39:17.05\00:39:21.19
way. you know, somebody is in
the dark and you're there with
him. You can tell them that
00:39:21.19\00:39:25.86
it's dark, But they're not going
to the difference. You have to
00:39:25.86\00:39:31.60
flip the light and then they're
going to know the difference
between light and dark. And
00:39:31.60\00:39:35.67
that's essentially what we're
doing is we're flipping a light
on which is God's word and
00:39:35.67\00:39:40.18
saint. >> Yeah, that thing over
there that's dark. And the way
that, you know, that is because
00:39:40.18\00:39:42.34
of God's word right life. >> So
kind of a method of how we
approach a topic like that
00:39:42.34\00:39:49.35
it when we look at the the way
that Jesus approached, trying to
share truth in his day, he
00:39:49.35\00:39:54.89
was using things that people
were familiar with. Hey, this is
this is, you know, the
00:39:54.89\00:39:59.03
Kingdom of heaven is like this
plant over here. And oh, yeah,
we're a bunch of farmers. So
00:39:59.03\00:40:03.10
we understand what you're
talking So we're taking you like
pop culture and modern
00:40:03.10\00:40:08.80
current events and topics and
it's light. You know, Pixar
would the company that made
00:40:08.80\00:40:13.21
toy story right? They meet film
called Coco. That was really
about the Mexican day
00:40:13.21\00:40:19.15
of the dead. And so because of
that film, lots of kids would go
and see it and they're
00:40:19.15\00:40:24.65
talking about the state of the
dead, that that that there's a
spirit world beyond that,
00:40:24.65\00:40:28.66
right? So in a strange way,
we're able to take something
that's happening in pop
00:40:28.66\00:40:33.29
culture and go backwards with
that and go, you know, they're
telling you that there's life
00:40:33.29\00:40:38.53
after death right away. But you
know what the Bible says about
the the dead? No, not
00:40:38.53\00:40:44.21
anything. And not there. So
we're teaching the truth of the
Bible. really using what's
00:40:44.21\00:40:49.34
going on in the world around us
in a crime cents. Amen. Amen. I
00:40:49.34\00:40:54.05
love that. I love that. I just
want again remind our viewers at
home as we're having this
00:40:54.05\00:40:58.42

00:41:06.26\00:41:09.76

00:42:14.10\00:42:18.17
But, you know, I want I want to
transition now, you know, again,
00:42:18.17\00:42:23.04
you guys have a plethora of
different programs that the Lord
has led you to to produce to
00:42:23.04\00:42:28.61
help combat these lies to help
combat this Hollywood agenda.
Talk a little bit about kuz. I
00:42:28.61\00:42:32.85
know there's someone that's
watching right now that might be
like, you know what little
00:42:32.85\00:42:34.85
white students is new to me.
What are some of the programs,
the topics in the things that
00:42:34.85\00:42:38.72
you guys have made so far
created so far that maybe some
of our viewers at home might
00:42:38.72\00:42:45.16
be interested in to inform them
and educate them on the subject
we're talking about
00:42:45.16\00:42:48.80
tonight. So we started out with
really dealing with the media
topic because that's
00:42:48.80\00:42:52.23
kind of flight. What started
this whole thing but are, as
people would say, well, you
00:42:52.23\00:42:58.41
know, you guys, you guys talk
about all these movies and we
don't watch movies are my kids
00:42:58.41\00:43:01.58
don't watch movies, but they
really play video games. >> And
so you know what you
00:43:01.58\00:43:05.48
guys know about video games. So
we would study into the video
game topic and found the
00:43:05.48\00:43:09.78
same thing they're putting
spiritualism and they're they're
attacking the Bible.
00:43:09.78\00:43:13.19
So we put something together
about that. Well, then parents
would come to us and say, you
00:43:13.19\00:43:16.99
know, we've done a good job,
getting our kids not watching
movies. And, you know, they
00:43:16.99\00:43:20.63
don't really play video games,
but man, I can't get my kit off
the phone. What do you
00:43:20.63\00:43:25.30
know about social media? So then
we would go back and we were
just really do some
00:43:25.30\00:43:29.87
research and the whole, you
know, what is this addiction
that everybody is walking
00:43:29.87\00:43:32.87
around and nobody can
communicate with anybody right?
And so we found that,
00:43:32.87\00:43:37.25
you know, we're kind of dealing
with these these things that we
00:43:37.25\00:43:40.38
have currently in our world
today, either be technology or
or those kind of things. So even
00:43:40.38\00:43:46.49
even as we've kind of
progressed, we started
discussing topics of spiritual
00:43:46.49\00:43:54.20
really seen. There's so many
spiritual stick ideas in all of
these films and video games and
00:43:54.20\00:43:59.10
things. And we know that the
devil is using spiritual in his
final masterpiece, deception. So
00:43:59.10\00:44:05.01
what is he preparing to do in
that? That's led into a whole
range of topics to explore.
00:44:05.01\00:44:09.11
They're they're talking about
foes and and and and our
governments, you know, now
00:44:09.11\00:44:16.08
saying that they're
communicating with aliens and
have been for a long time. So
00:44:16.08\00:44:19.79
we've done a project on that. We
have. It's incredible. I mean,
not only has little light than
00:44:19.79\00:44:22.72
that, but >> I am my own time
was studying this stuff. At the
00:44:22.72\00:44:25.36
same time in California.
Well, and so both of us with out
00:44:25.36\00:44:31.20
separately without communicating
were studying this and going
while there is something going
00:44:31.20\00:44:33.37
on here for us, this is out.
It's in Congress and they're
discussing this right now.
00:44:33.37\00:44:39.17
This is a conspiracy here. Sure.
Yeah, absolutely. It's going on
here. Absolutely not
00:44:39.17\00:44:42.44
solve the assault of the
interview with Interview. But
the documentary you guys put
00:44:42.44\00:44:45.41
together like that. It's very
eye opening. And so, yeah, it's
it's interesting. What
00:44:45.41\00:44:48.98
are some of the programs that
you guys have and that that
would help individuals with
00:44:48.98\00:44:53.86
these topics of, you know,
Hollywood media movies that
things like that that might be
00:44:53.86\00:44:57.93
struggling with. We did on the
topic of anime, which is
Japanese You know, we for
00:44:57.93\00:45:04.40
years kids would would ask us,
you know, what do you know about
00:45:04.40\00:45:08.34
this >> You know, it's kind of
dissed on cartoon genre that
light, you know, just wasn't
00:45:08.34\00:45:13.34
very commonplace. All of a
sudden Netflix and the different
streaming platforms
00:45:13.34\00:45:16.71
came into into play and kids,
you know, had a hard time
getting a hold of those kind
00:45:16.71\00:45:21.95
of media productions. But
because of Netflix, it's not
readily available to everyone.
00:45:21.95\00:45:26.39
And so we would have young
kids young Christian kids in in
00:45:26.39\00:45:34.46
Christian schools. Communicate
with our ministry, say I'm
starting to hear spirits talking
00:45:34.46\00:45:39.03
to and now out of all the things
that we've taken a look at, we
hear this time and time and time
00:45:39.03\00:45:45.51
again. We asked the kids, are
you watching anime? Yes. So for
some reason that's opening a
00:45:45.51\00:45:50.31
door and now the spirits are
really starting to communicate
with people. So, you know, we
00:45:50.31\00:45:56.02
really feel like it's it's a
it's a duty of ours. Knowing
what we know to then turn
00:45:56.02\00:46:00.49
around and help these poor young
kids who maybe don't know, they
00:46:00.49\00:46:06.43
think it's trendy or a cool
front. And so that's another
topic that we've been working
00:46:06.43\00:46:09.53
on. We've started making Bible
study videos because, yeah, as
we started developing things
00:46:09.53\00:46:13.54
that weren't just exposing
things. We really notice that,
well, maybe they they don't know
00:46:13.54\00:46:19.34
the Bible as well. So let's
inspire them to know the Bible.
created a whole Bible
00:46:19.34\00:46:23.38
series that was called
video Bible studies. And started
00:46:23.38\00:46:28.25
putting those out. >> Yeah. And
our our our whole goal here is
not to say. >> Hey, this is bad
00:46:28.25\00:46:31.92
and this is bad and this is bad.
>> Our goal is to train the
young people young and old to
00:46:31.92\00:46:38.16
understand discern what the
Bible says about this off bank.
Me Bible studies based
00:46:38.16\00:46:44.07
on current events that are
actually happening so that it's
00:46:44.07\00:46:47.10
engaging. It's fascinating and
we can push out the truth as
fast as possible. Absolutely.
00:46:47.10\00:46:53.07
also we started having so we
have like different. Program. So
we have the documentaries that
00:46:53.07\00:46:58.21
we address like video games and
anime. yet the U F O, we also
these news, this new segment
00:46:58.21\00:47:09.36
on new to called. I got a
question. And so that's where
like the audience can
00:47:09.36\00:47:14.20
actually, you know, reach out to
us and ask us any media related
questions. And so if
00:47:14.20\00:47:17.97
it's something like what is
predicted programming or how do
I stop watching media? What
00:47:17.97\00:47:21.84
are some other things I can do?
Then we make like these short 5
00:47:21.84\00:47:27.04
minute videos that have a
biblical perspective and can
give them some practical ways on
00:47:27.04\00:47:32.41
how to make the transition from
a grown up with this my whole
life. What can I do about it
00:47:32.41\00:47:35.48
sure. We've also done a project
on the martial arts. There's,
you know, spirituals and that as
00:47:35.48\00:47:42.56
So we did that with Eric Wilson
had 25 years of martial arts
00:47:42.56\00:47:46.49
training. >> I was about the
time I landed it little. I had
10 years of martial arts
00:47:46.49\00:47:48.76
training. And so we worked on
that project made. the first
part available on YouTube with
00:47:48.76\00:47:56.91
3. So the truth that you learned
about, you know, in the program,
00:47:56.91\00:47:59.31
you know that you guys did in
the martial arts. >> With the
the years that you are training,
00:47:59.31\00:48:04.15
did you did you experience any
of those things yourself? No, I
did not. So I would say it's
00:48:04.15\00:48:12.92
more esoteric in nature. So it's
kind of like you move up the
ladder. The more you know.
00:48:12.92\00:48:15.69
>> So I was at the point where I
had gotten my second degree
black belt and then the next
00:48:15.69\00:48:23.43
part of my training was learning
how tough fight blindfolded. So
00:48:23.43\00:48:31.44
you you know, use I was told,
you know, learn to listen for
like heart beat Sen okay things
00:48:31.44\00:48:38.61
and it's like, oh, wow, you
know, I wonder how I wonder how
that's going to work and that's
00:48:38.61\00:48:45.35
yeah, it's it's a it's a
fascinating topic. spent a lot
of time talking about that. We
00:48:45.35\00:48:50.23
over. She railed that. We also
have future projects that were.
We've been talking about some
00:48:50.23\00:48:52.63
on the way here. Trans humanism,
you know, is is something that
00:48:52.63\00:48:58.33
we're we're passionate about,
you know, this next generation
have to deal with things like,
00:48:58.33\00:49:02.57
hey, I there's not even about
that right now. it's coming into
society. How do you deal with
00:49:02.57\00:49:07.21
that? There's lots of questions.
There's a whole documentary that
00:49:07.21\00:49:15.35
will produce on spiritualism and
technology and the whole whole
past history of that. They have
00:49:15.35\00:49:18.82
a very close history like those
inventors or into some stuff
that you would be surprised at
00:49:18.82\00:49:26.70
now. So there's a lot of future
projects. We have lots of work
cut out for us to lose
00:49:26.70\00:49:29.90
weight. Our main way to reach
our audience really is through
the use of YouTube. We've
00:49:29.90\00:49:34.64
created over 400 videos right?
>> I mean, they're spanning a
wide range of topics we dealt
00:49:34.64\00:49:42.64
with with relationships, gender
Those are huge, huge question
marks in kids minds
00:49:42.64\00:49:48.45
these days. Sure. media is
pumping. You this is what you
should think. This is what you
00:49:48.45\00:49:54.92
should think. But this is what
we should think, right? Yes. And
so, you know, we're really
00:49:54.92\00:49:58.86
trying to just take these even
cultural issues, sensitive
issues and really point people
00:49:58.86\00:50:03.67
back to the word of just got to
question the other day because
we've dealt with new
00:50:03.67\00:50:09.24
age a little bit and some of the
road in and asked us, you know,
00:50:09.24\00:50:14.78
I >> approached by a Christian
and I was asking them a
question. They said, well, you
00:50:14.78\00:50:19.55
know, have you looked into these
crystals and what these crystals
can do for you? And
00:50:19.55\00:50:21.92
he's like. Due to what have you
guys done anything about the you
know, what would you
00:50:21.92\00:50:28.22
say about that? If somebody was
telling me I needed to use
crystals and my Christian
00:50:28.22\00:50:31.39
experience you when you say your
ministry, you may be focused in
00:50:31.39\00:50:37.07
that particular area that you're
going to get the ever. fact
that, you know, you mentioned
00:50:37.07\00:50:42.77
that because I recently and I
had someone who I know I was
telling me a story about one of
00:50:42.77\00:50:47.31
their family members who have
incorporated these crystals and
how it has you don't have
00:50:47.31\00:50:52.48
some kind of magic, you know,
magical spiritual powers, you
know. And and and and you know
00:50:52.48\00:50:58.35
it, the spiritual is something
that is exploding. Hollywood is
using it to to, I mean,
00:50:58.35\00:51:03.29
just encapsulate people's minds
into thinking that, you know,
there is life beyond and
00:51:03.29\00:51:09.26
it's in everything now. I mean,
knee has been in Disney for
years on a river all the
00:51:09.26\00:51:13.97
way back to the Hercules movie
when Hercules is going down to
the underworld retrieve the
00:51:13.97\00:51:18.37
dead soul of his love. Right.
And it's like from from a little
00:51:18.37\00:51:23.31
very little boy, a major
remember it in that Your we're
perspective of, right? You know
00:51:23.31\00:51:27.82
what that, you know, you as a
kid, you start to think, oh,
maybe that's how it works.
00:51:27.82\00:51:29.55
>> Maybe that when you die, you
just you're like floating in the
abyss somewhere. And
00:51:29.55\00:51:33.42
they come out with the toys,
right? Go to like, you know
what? Little toys and the
00:51:33.42\00:51:40.93
>> Happy meals. you bring it
into your own life. You have fun
with it. Just a game and
00:51:40.93\00:51:45.60
>> this is another reason why
we're aiming at the young Ps,
even though it they get a
00:51:45.60\00:51:50.34
blessing from our work. We hear
all the time of of people that
like as old as me are
00:51:50.34\00:51:56.48
watching it and actually like
it's a blessing. What you guys
are doing right. But our real
00:51:56.48\00:52:00.15
focus is these young kids for
that same primary reason the
world understands if you can
00:52:00.15\00:52:05.39
plant those images in an early
enough mind, we'll the rest of
the life and child. And that's
00:52:05.39\00:52:11.56
why that's why I think Jesus was
so protective over children.
Listen, if you leave
00:52:11.56\00:52:14.30
this child, the straight, I
mean, it would be better
something was tied around
00:52:14.30\00:52:19.53
their neck and you are thrown in
the sea like that is a harsh
thing. Yes, it is. And
00:52:19.53\00:52:23.67
you mentioned saying that from
the today goes to show you got a
heart towards the that the
00:52:23.67\00:52:27.81
young people the influence of
their minds at such young ages.
I mean, I could sit here
00:52:27.81\00:52:30.75
and tell you, man, like as an
adult in praise, God, you know
where God has led me. I'm not
00:52:30.75\00:52:37.05
where I need to be but praise
God. I'm not where once was
right. But I can. I was just
00:52:37.05\00:52:39.49
talking to someone just a few
minutes ago before we started
00:52:39.49\00:52:41.29
this live. >> About how? All of
the movies in the, you know, the
things that I have seen in my
00:52:41.29\00:52:47.86
lifetime, how it is stuck with
me all of these years. And it's
like I knew the music in
00:52:47.86\00:52:52.83
the movies. Everything it's like
it's just imprinted on your
mind. And it's hard to
00:52:52.83\00:52:57.31
just dump that. I mean, there's
sometimes feel like my life is
full of liked songs.
00:52:57.31\00:53:02.14
And and little little you know,
well, from to movie. And it's
00:53:02.14\00:53:07.92
like, Man, it's so powerful.
People don't realize that they
think it's just it's just
00:53:07.92\00:53:12.25
innocent move. You're just
innocent show are innocent video
game. That's just innocent
00:53:12.25\00:53:15.96
social media account or whatever
it is. You know, it seems and
appears in us in the beginning.
00:53:15.96\00:53:18.86
But it turns into this monster
that just dominate your mind.
And you don't realize that it's
00:53:18.86\00:53:23.16
it's causing major effects on
you. That is hard to break. If
you let it get out of control,
00:53:23.16\00:53:29.24
you know, the fair is the
thought uses parables were just
innocent parables, but
00:53:29.24\00:53:33.27
they were proud our full power
pack story we remembered until
the day in the affected
00:53:33.27\00:53:38.28
society forever. >> And so
what I think is most fascinating
00:53:38.28\00:53:41.12
about that is that what we see
happening today is saying
parables are happening only in
00:53:41.12\00:53:46.76
visual audible. Something in
even the lovable formats. Yes.
And that's what's being
00:53:46.76\00:53:52.76
presented in the opposite way
from the opposite realm. And so
that's what we're kind of
00:53:52.76\00:53:56.97
finding sought to give the
counterbalance to is powerful.
As we're sitting here discussing
00:53:56.97\00:54:02.10
these these phrases in these
terms right? Think about how
powerful these words are. mean,
00:54:02.10\00:54:09.04
think about how much more
important it is to read the
stories to the kids to give them
00:54:09.04\00:54:13.78
this picture. So that this
sticks in their mind throughout
their life. And this is what
00:54:13.78\00:54:21.39
they he absolutely. So we're
going we got I mean, we've got
about 3 minutes before we
00:54:21.39\00:54:23.66
transition to our second hour.
If we take a short break, I have
a question. They want to ask you
00:54:23.66\00:54:28.16
guys. We started getting
questions in so many tell you at
the beginning of the next
00:54:28.16\00:54:30.77
hour, how you can continue to
send in your questions. They're
going to answer your
00:54:30.77\00:54:33.30
questions here. But I got one
here. It's just thank you for
the excellent interview. Just
00:54:33.30\00:54:37.61
one key question for all of us
who work with young people.
Please share your top 3 tips
00:54:37.61\00:54:42.54
with us for helping to cure
social media addiction among
young people. This comes from
00:54:42.54\00:54:48.18
Doctor Pilgrim from Trinidad and
Tobago. All right. So some tips
on how to deal with young
00:54:48.18\00:54:53.22
people and social media
addiction. Sure. I have kids. He
has kids. I'm we know the
00:54:53.22\00:54:59.19
We have phones. They my kids
don't have a phone yet. Sure.
And it is a fight. And so, you
00:54:59.19\00:55:04.13
know, my trick really is is
engage with them, not just let
them dock off in the corner. I
00:55:04.13\00:55:11.64
want my kids to go outside to do
things with me. Fix things for
to go rather than me going
00:55:11.64\00:55:18.01
out and just doing it for you
come here with me. Let me show
you how to do this. And I
00:55:18.01\00:55:21.82
think the more that we engage
with them outside to me, they're
going to get the media
00:55:21.82\00:55:26.22
that that's just coming in life,
right? Yes, but the more that we
can train them to to
00:55:26.22\00:55:30.83
engage with us and not just
think of fun as playing around
with something, right, right,
00:55:30.83\00:55:35.56
right. What they're looking for
is connection. So if you offer
00:55:35.56\00:55:39.43
them that through getting them
involved your life, showing that
you're involved in your life is
00:55:39.43\00:55:41.90
usually. >> Unfortunately, what
most parents do is they have
00:55:41.90\00:55:44.17
their child an iPad and that's
it, you know. And so they are
having a probably teaching the
00:55:44.17\00:55:49.84
child, OK, I want connection.
I'm going to my iPad. I'm going
to watch this TV show
00:55:49.84\00:55:53.18
and you're not getting involved
in their lives. Yes. >> I heard
a minister. Someone
00:55:53.18\00:55:56.15
say one time somebody ask them a
question. They were like, you
know what? My kid is just,
00:55:56.15\00:56:01.86
you know, that they they just so
involved in this, you phone and
cell phone, iPad and all
00:56:01.86\00:56:04.56
this different devices. I just
don't know like how to how to
combat that in the bottom of
00:56:04.56\00:56:08.10
the person's response was, you
know what their craving for for
attention or craving for.
00:56:08.10\00:56:15.47
>> Some positive, you know,
communication what they need
more than anything. You that
00:56:15.47\00:56:18.67
they need you as the pair is not
putting them in front of the TV
stop led the dv babysat
00:56:18.67\00:56:24.51
them stop giving them the iPad,
the phone they need to you. They
00:56:24.51\00:56:27.45
need you to engage with them.
And so that's kind of what I
hear you saying there that we
00:56:27.45\00:56:30.52
have about a minute here to see
that something will I think the
one of the best ways you can do
00:56:30.52\00:56:34.36
it. I don't have kids like you
do, but I have real can pull
from my experience. Growing
00:56:34.36\00:56:37.63
up. >> One of best things about
my growing-up age was that my
00:56:37.63\00:56:43.90
family, my aunt and uncle, had
large properties and I would
love to go over there and get
00:56:43.90\00:56:48.90
out and get into those fields.
Ride horses right ago. Carter
build a fort and through that
00:56:48.90\00:56:55.94
process, we weren't confined to
a couch inside a room. We had
nothing to do. But the
00:56:55.94\00:57:01.15
inside of our heads and if
you're inside your head all day,
if you're confined to a
00:57:01.15\00:57:04.22
little box. >> You're gonna find
something to do. And it's either
00:57:04.22\00:57:06.69
not. It's not going to be it's
not going to be good. And so if
you can get out, get out in
00:57:06.69\00:57:11.23
nature, you can focus more on
what God has made. Amen. Well,
my friends were not through
00:57:11.23\00:57:17.50
with just this engine has just
gotten. We've been we've warming
00:57:17.50\00:57:21.27
up, so not through yet. It
always to have some questions.
>> We're going to answer when
00:57:21.27\00:57:24.24
we come back. We're going to
take a short break and just a
moment and we want to tell
00:57:24.24\00:57:28.38
you, don't go anywhere, bring
your friends, get everybody
around. We'll have another
00:57:28.38\00:57:32.75
power packed hour talking about
this media, Hollywood and what a
00:57:32.75\00:57:37.42
little light studios is doing to
educate us and to inform us of
how we can combat the devil's
00:57:37.42\00:57:43.26
devil's agenda. So come back
in just a few moments. We'll see
00:57:43.26\00:57:46.93
you take it. ¤ ¤
