We have in my opinion, I'm one 01:37 of maybe best most extraordinary people in the 01:43 world dealing with young people and that is rich angular. 01:46 Before we introduce an I'm going to use my co-host, 01:50 she's not sitting next to me. We decided to just kind of 01:53 balance ourselves out around the table. But Francine, 01:56 our general manager here for 3 being kids network is 01:59 co-hosting, even though we're a little ways away. So glad 02:02 you're here tonight. Thank you. I'm delighted to be here, 02:04 especially who a guest as and I can't wait to hear what he has 02:09 to say for this evening. So light. And that's right. 02:12 Rich angular is president of one mustard seed and rich. 02:16 It is a privilege to have you here with us tonight. We'd love 02:20 to here you share. You are creative and gifted and have 02:25 amazing television programs and ideas. So I'm excited about 02:28 tonight. 02:29 >> Thank you very much. I appreciate you guys having me 02:31 on again. It's great to be back every single time we come back 02:33 to it seems like we have a great time talking about how we 02:36 can minister to the kids. 02:38 >> Yeah. Speaking of that wine before we go to the music and 02:42 all that stuff, why did you become involved in kids 02:45 Ministry? 02:46 >> You know, when when I first was coming out of college, 02:50 I was kind of figure out what can I do? What creative thing 02:53 could I do? And that's why I got into architecture 02:55 originally and turns out that when I was practicing as an 02:59 architect for those years, I was not getting the creative 03:02 thrills, but I was hoping that I would get. So then I just got 03:07 really active at church because I found out that serving 03:10 children's ministries youth ministries. You can really pour 03:13 on the creativity. And that's really what needs to be done 03:16 for kids to engage. So it just kind of almost became exciting, 03:19 addicting dislikes, you know, being creative and pouring it 03:22 all into serving on through children's ministry. And then 03:26 it just snowballed. And here we are 30 years later, some other 03:30 number that we pay price and talk about 30 years since 03:34 you've been working with kids. Well, yeah, I think so. It's 03:38 probably a little over 30 years. I've been the Sabbath 03:40 school teacher for 30 something years nonstop for kids. I've 03:45 never been to an adult Sunday school class. Nice. Really. 03:47 This roof have literally been teaching kids at school classes 03:50 now for 30 years in a row. And I love it. And that's where 03:54 I feel like God has called me. And that's where I need to 03:55 serve. Yeah, excitement and energy is contagious for 03:59 everyone to see. So. 04:01 >> Yes, every time I see you with the kids here, you just 04:03 light up though. We appreciate that about you. Appreciate 04:06 that. Yeah, absolutely. The kids love you. I know the kids 04:10 love the programs and I'm not a kid. Maybe I'm a kid at heart, 04:13 but I'm in my office at 3 D and I was telling them just before 04:16 the program, there's like 9 television because we have 9 04:19 television networks and they're all up there on the television 04:22 in my office. And every time you come on, I'm like haha, 04:26 I got to see the program for what's happening. So it's 04:28 exciting in why is it important to do Ministry? 04:32 >> For children? Why does that matter? You know, we often 04:36 lumped kids into this category of like we're waiting for them 04:39 to grow up. And if we kind of treat them, as you know, 04:42 in the wings, waiting for them to become a model to productive 04:45 whatever. And we don't minister them by the time to grow up to 04:48 con you, we have to connect with them while they're young, 04:52 we have to instill all these concepts and ideas while 04:55 they're young, get them convicted before they're 12, 04:57 13, 04:59 because if they're not then by the time they're that age, 05:01 they've really already made a decision. And the decision kind 05:04 of goes into effect by the time they are 18 or 20. But if if, 05:08 if they're not locked in by 12, 13 or so, and it says it's a 05:12 scary statistic, many of them leave the church. So that's why 05:15 I decided I want to put my effort here because this is the 05:19 future and the president of the church as well because they 05:22 bring so much excitement and energy into any setting having, 05:26 you know, kids involved. So. 05:28 >> And I like how you get the kids involved helping the kids 05:32 if that makes sense. Yeah, I've seen you do that as well and at 05:35 pioneer. 05:37 >> Yeah. So you get you get one kid involved and then the next 05:39 one wants to be involved in it. Kind of, you know, snowballs on 05:42 you say it is a great way of getting kids engage, you know, 05:46 the culture now it is has become so much worse. Just like 05:48 just watch. Got to be more in that. You've got to get them 05:51 engaged to got to be involved. You got to interact so anything 05:54 that we can do along those lines. It is important which, 05:57 of course, becomes harder as you get into media because 05:59 media so watching only are listening only so you really 06:03 got up on the creativity to figure out ways to engage them 06:06 and get them to interact. 06:07 >> And you don't want to lose them by the time they're 06:08 teenagers, because if you can get them involved while they're 06:12 young and then hopefully when they're teenagers and they can 06:16 help with the media effect of things, too. So yeah, and then 06:19 we take the teenagers and have them. 06:22 >> Help out in children's ministries, which is what we 06:23 see different years and our children's church. It was the 06:26 teenagers doing the children's Church for the children. 06:29 That was a really nice combination. 06:31 >> That's really powerful. Tonight is all things children. 06:33 It's about creativity. It's about using the head in your 06:37 own home, with your family, with your kids in your church, 06:40 in your community. It's about evangelism for young people. 06:44 It's about connecting with Jesus, which is the most 06:47 important thing we can ever do with our young people. So we 06:51 have some brand new initiatives that Rich is launching. We're 06:55 going to see tonight a trailer this will be toward the end of 06:57 the program of a new movie that is coming out. He's going to 07:01 talk to us about that. We're going to talk about some 07:05 children, Sabha school programs that launches tomorrow on 3 07:09 games to kids network some books podcast, some exciting 07:13 dinosaur adventures in many things that Rich is involved 07:17 with win with one mustard seed.

But Mitch, what you pay for it? Absolutely. 08:07 >> Dear Lord, we just feel so thankful that you've asked us 08:11 to take care of the children to point them to you and to guide 08:14 them to you, Lord. So we just ask for your help and empower 08:18 us. Give us the ideas, the passion, the creativity, 08:21 to be able to find ways to connect with them in favor of 08:26 guiding them to your feet.

Thank you so much, Tim. Part in Dallas and spare. 12:38 I know who holds my hand and I know who holds tomorrow. 12:42 What an incredible blessing. We're talking tonight with Rich 12:46 Aguilar, a on Francine and I are talking with rich angular, 12:50 a president of one mustard seed, which is all about kids 12:54 ministry. So first of all, 12:56 I just want to ask why you wear that hat and how long you've 13:01 been wearing that. 13:02 >> I haven't taken it off now. And how many years? Who know? 13:06 A lot of people think that I I put on this when I started 13:09 doing ministry. But I've literally been wearing these 13:11 hats for 25 years. It was just the hat that I liked of driven 13:17 my old beat-up jeep for 25 years. And that's just kind of 13:21 who I was. 13:22 So when I started this ministry angle, it's not that I created 13:26 some characters, something that is just kind of who I am. 13:28 I love to be outside since I don't have a whole lot of hair. 13:32 I didn't need to cover. I also don't get fried everywhere I 13:36 went. So, you know, I was thinking of a hat and here's 13:39 just bonus trivia. I was like, OK, new wide brim wide brim. 13:43 Yeah, I need something that doesn't like cover me too much. 13:46 So I like the fold up thing and then I have this thing, which 13:49 is my little straps whenever I'm in a windy location or, 13:53 you know, coming down the mountain or something like 13:55 that, I can put it under my chin and will fly off. 13:58 So, you know, it's a combination of all these things 14:00 that I picked this. This happened 25 years ago. And 14:03 that's a it's just been the same hat, not the exact same. 14:06 That's what have before. I mean, you need and I think a 14:10 hat lifespan is maybe now 8 years may go out. Had we were 14:20 in Cuba. 14:21 And so I took it off or something. And one of the 14:23 ladies are we're on a mission trip and one of the ladies like 14:26 you're at dirty 14:28 and sees a lot of cleanup for. And so she took it for a day 14:31 which you can give it back. It was so clean that she 14:34 literally shred it own because there was some cleaning it on 14:37 like Stone this. Here's your had a player like what's left 14:42 of your head that you knew hat, it does build character. 14:47 And at Wright has the story happening around the heads of 14:51 in or out of love that. So tell us about Cuba. Before we jump 14:54 into what we're talking about tonight to tell us about Cuba, 14:56 what you do need human. Yeah. So Anderson had a me had gone 14:59 on a mission trip. And I I was asked to be one of the 15:01 chaperones. And since I've been to Cuba several times, my wife 15:03 is Cuban. My mamas Cubans. So they said they may be great 15:07 to bring rental on. 15:08 I could interpret I can kind of lead one of the groups. And so 15:11 we spent a couple weeks working in Cuba on the in the city of 15:15 14. 15:16 >> That s****. I so how many languages do you speak? I speak 15:19 3 languages, OK? I also speak Spanish and French. Wow. 15:23 That's pretty impressive. Ha. How's my family, too? 15:27 >> Yeah. So my wife event. Why said of Cuban descent? 15:30 And then I have 2 boys that are now in college. You're 15:33 attending Andrews University and I'm excited for them 15:36 because next year they're going to go study in France and learn 15:38 a 3rd language. So good on them that 6 IAEA. 15:42 >> And tell us your ministry takes you really globally 15:44 travel all over the world. So tell us about some of the 15:47 places you've been. 15:48 >> Some of those traits. Yeah. So it does require a lot 15:51 of travel because we decided from the beginning that we 15:54 really wanted to be a global ministry, not just focus on one 15:57 spot or in one language, even so that's taking needed to 16:01 travel quite a bit as I do events. But also a lot of our 16:04 travel has to do with filming. You know, as one of the things 16:07 I love to do in our filming is to shoot on location. 16:11 And I love to talk to kids about adventure and nature. 16:13 And we've got to see all these places and experience them. 16:16 So, you know, I was blessed from an early age to travel a 16:19 lot. And I was kind of keenly aware that a lot of kids just 16:23 don't get the opportunity to travel to all these places also 16:25 commit. Could I bring them 16:27 to these places with no. So my shooting style has always 16:31 been like you're right there with me. I want to go climb 16:34 this thing. We're going to see this thing. We're doing it 16:36 together. It's not just me talking, you know, whatever. 16:39 So because of that. And because I thought it was great to show 16:42 the says all these places, this waterfall, this mountain, 16:45 this glacier, whatever it is, that's also brought along part 16:49 of the traveling as well. And of course, trying to 16:51 capture that on camera so that I can share that 16:55 here on 3 men. 16:56 >> It makes it come alive and it gives a picture because like 17:00 we've heard pictures 1000 words. So you doing it on 17:04 location, makes it really real and imagining what it is like. 17:08 Yeah. 17:09 >> And it's kind of funny because I've had kids can walk 17:10 up to me is like 17:11 do you do all that on the screen? Haha. I was really 17:20 impressed when he was snowboarding down a Mount Hood 17:23 was yeah. With plenty wipe out my 4 sons. 17:27 >> Have a hard time. Just downhill skiing. I can imagine 17:31 like filming in still trying to snow like that. 17:34 >> I mean, the good thing about the these adventures in these 17:36 plays they go, you're going to get some bumps and scratches 17:38 along the way. But that's all part of that. And that shows 17:42 that you're human. You fall down, you make mistakes and you 17:44 get up and keep going. 17:46 >> I absolutely so let's talk about Kids Bible Zone, which is 17:50 your savage school lesson for kids. And this launches 17:54 tomorrow on are feeding kids network. But first of all, 17:57 walk us through what departments about. 17:59 >> Yes, so basically obviously on Sabbath, there's different 18:03 classes. And so we've created a show and that's been running 18:08 about 3 years tomorrow. We launch here on 3 Indians kids 18:10 network. But the whole point is that it's a way to prepare our 18:14 kids with that weeks. 7 school lesson, a review of the lesson. 18:19 So we're specifically focusing on the primary lesson, which is 18:22 one age group, which would be 06:00AM to 09:00AM. Yep, 18:25 69. So they have their lesson, which they get every week. 18:27 So we basically produce a brand new show every weekend, kind of 18:32 funny because I've been asked by people is like so how long 18:35 their season, you know, because a lot of show those 13 of those 18:38 like I'd like to talk about 50 10 seasons or so the yeah. 18:44 And then guess what, next year we do it over again. A lot of 18:48 Yahoo work and we've done think we're like around 160 episodes. 18:53 So we're just really excited that we get the opportunity now 18:55 to share that here and that kids can come into the Sabbath. 19:00 And, you know, highlighting a hopefully they've been 19:02 following the lesson throughout the week. But now it's kind of 19:04 like the cherry on top where they get that just really dive 19:08 into a fun show that features and highlights. 19:10 >> All the things that they they learned in that week's 19:12 lesson. Yes, what we have a teaser for that. Let's take a 19:15 look at that and then we'll talk more about it. 19:18 >> Hello, everyone. And welcome to the show today. We're 19:21 checking out the primary 7 school lesson for 6/3/2023 19:26 ready to get in the zone. Let's go. 19:29 [MUSIC] 19:34 [MUSIC] 19:39 >> I'm like, of course, we should probably check and see 19:41 where that is our map. Let's go to the mat. 19:45 Here's what he is and why do babies come? 19:49 [MUSIC] 19:51 >> Right now I'm in Vilnius. Lithuania. Couple are playing 19:56 [MUSIC] 19:58 the cool thing about this glacier exit glacier here in 20:01 Alaska. 20:03 Sure feel protected when they're in here. 20:07 These are happy game. Well, we have made it here too. And car 20:11 wash in Cambodia. Just to think that somebody is that live 20:15 there. Go to question number. 20:17 >> Hello and welcome to break it down. You are on the air 20:20 [MUSIC] 20:22 because people die with the region and taken up to heaven. 20:25 >> Something make something got made. Super zoom it. 20:30 >> By over hers and I very important rises. So. 20:34 >> Let's all repeat it together. Look, he is coming 20:38 with the clouds. It's time to be amazed by our creator God. 20:43 We'll see you next time. 20:44 [MUSIC] 20:49 [MUSIC] 20:54 >> Wow, I want to go back to primary. Look at all the places 20:59 you go and how you bring that in the questions and 21:02 how long does it take to foment a person? 21:05 >> Well, a lot of different pieces. Yeah, and of course, 21:07 there's the a couple of the segments in each episode which 21:10 we shoot on location. So in that particular episode, 21:12 which is the one for this coming 7th and we shot in 21:16 Lithuania and so well on that particular trip will obviously 21:19 shoot a whole bunch. So upcoming episodes feature, 21:22 Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Finland. So each week as we go, 21:27 you know, will feature each one of these locations. And then, 21:30 of course, by the time we travel around again, we're 21:33 going to be shooting some in Hawaii here soon. So as I 21:37 travel, I try to capture all these places that we can 21:40 feature in our lessons. 21:43 >> That's good teaching points for sure. Yeah. So if you ever 21:46 interest Ed at Central Time, this is at 7.30, Friday 21:50 evenings and then on Saturday and at 11:00AM in the morning. 21:53 So that's the central time. But so hopefully you can find 21:57 these 21:59 kids, Bible sons. 22:00 >> So it launches tomorrow night 07:30PM, Central, 22:03 correct? You can watch right here. Not right here because 22:06 this is parent network and but you can watch the 3 D A V and 22:09 kids that work at 7.30 tomorrow night or you said was an 22:13 11:00AM. that morning? That's exciting. 22:16 >> That we get ready for their lesson. Of course, the cool 22:20 thing is that since these alleged church lessons that 22:22 they're preparing for, so it's it's pretty comprehensive. 22:24 And it goes through a four-year sequence for the primaries. 22:27 So they cover quite a bit of material. And it's it's pretty 22:30 exciting going week by week and making sure we don't miss a 22:33 single one of the topics in episodes that they they talk 22:35 about. 22:36 >> Absolutely. So all of this is available as well. Your 22:38 website is all right. All the details for that one. Yeah, 22:41 this is C dot. 22:42 >> Almost see. The up is our main Web site. And of course, 22:46 we run several different ministries, which we'll be 22:48 talking about tonight. But from there, you can definitely link 22:50 up to all the other various Web sites of the Kids. Bible Zone 22:54 has its own website as well. So you can go right there. 22:57 And that's where we can interact because if you saw the 23:00 little trailer, there's moments where kids can participate. 23:03 They send in the little welcome and they send in the little 23:05 brain teasers or different activities. So the website is 23:09 where we interact with them for the show. A lot of can get 23:12 involved. That special like we were talking about earlier, 23:15 got to get them involved. It can be a one-way street. 23:17 We have to figure out how to create an engagement because 23:20 then now we have a chance to teach them. 23:21 >> Yes, absolutely. We want you to be involved tonight as well. 23:24 You can send in your questions for rich. He can be on the hot 23:27 seat here tonight or maybe of prayer needs for your young 23:31 people or grandkids or maybe your young person just seeking 23:35 prayer seeking God's direction in your life. You can text us 23:40 your questions. Pick up your cell phone. And Texas is 23:43 618-228-3975, at 618-228-3975. Or you can email us Life L I V 23:52 E at 3ABN DOT TV and we would love to interact with you and 23:57 hear from you. So I noticed sums up what was the guy's name 24:00 was? And so what was his name on that? Obama ends up on. 24:03 And so they're on every segment. Is that right? That's 24:07 right. 24:08 >> So their job in the episode is a, you know, this talk show 24:11 thing. But they've heard the Bible story that's featured in 24:14 this that particular weeks, a lesson. And so their job is to 24:18 break it down. So they react and they taken calls and they 24:21 just kind of have a fund breaking down the story. 24:24 And, of course, you know, once you watch an episode, you'll 24:26 probably see that humor is a key part of that because humor 24:30 is a wonderful tool for engaging kids. So we get to be 24:33 humorous. We get to be silly. And and that's one of the 24:36 segments that we we get to do both of us. 24:38 >> They get to remember these questions and comments tonight. 24:42 I find out that sometimes the kids repeat some of those 24:44 saying aha, had kids walk up the man, you know, 24:49 >> years later and they'll tell me what I said in a video that 24:53 so how you say and what you saying. Very memorable. These 24:56 kids are just punches. 24:57 >> Yeah, absolutely. So since it's a four-year cycle, does 25:00 that mean another year? You have a complete cycle done and 25:03 then it starts or what's your what's your long-term goal? 25:06 Well, theoretically, that would be correct. 25:08 >> I'm the only thing is the church is preparing to launch a 25:11 new primary. Good material here and about a year and half. 25:16 Yeah. So that means all be having to start from scratch 25:19 again 25:20 with with the new curriculum that preparing why which is 25:23 okay because there's nothing wrong with improving and 25:25 bettering the material. So I'm I'm excited by making it 25:29 relevant. Yeah, exactly. And it's an opportunity to 25:31 freshen something up and you change it because 25:35 instead of just watching something that's 10 years old. 25:37 It's always way more exciting. If you can watch something 25:39 that's fresh of them. Yeah. 25:41 >> This is absolutely so. This just came in and thank you 25:43 so much for sending the sun. This is my kids just finished 25:46 watching the mysterious no, 30 minutes ago. It's one of their 25:49 favorite movie. So we're excited to see the new trailer. 25:52 We recently saw you a couple weeks ago at your dinosaur 25:56 encounter and Kalamazoo mice, an easy kill had a question for 25:59 you. He wanted to know how people and the Dinosaurs Co 26:03 existence. So this leads us into the second segment of the 26:06 show tonight, which is about you dinosaur encounters. 26:09 So this is easy kill wants to know 100 people in dinosaurs 26:13 coexist. 26:14 >> Yeah, it's a great question and it's a great topic. And the 26:17 reason why we even do this event, which we started 26:20 probably about 6 or 7 years ago touring the show was because 26:24 the kids had so many questions on this topic and also because 26:28 if you really think about it, that the dinosaur topic in 26:30 general is very one-sided on our planet. When most people 26:34 hear about dinosaurs, it is always pretty much one view the 26:37 millions of years ago. They evolved over millions of years 26:41 and that there is no god. 26:42 So these 3 things are just ingrained in the kids 26:45 everywhere they look because it's on TV movies, books, 26:48 school everywhere. It's this one-sided topic, which if you 26:52 really think about it and you interpret it's a direct attack 26:55 on God and the Bible. So we tend to tackle this topic, 27:00 which 27:01 unfortunately is not often 27:04 addressed enough and within the church setting, 27:07 leaving kids with questions, leaving kids with doubts. 27:10 And as you get more involved with children's ministries, 27:13 that is one of the most dangerous things you could 27:15 havoc and have doubts that fester questions that go 27:19 unanswered. Just huge problem. So I'm a firm believer that 27:23 even if we don't have every single answer, we've got to 27:26 bring it up. We've got to talk about you got to get out in the 27:28 open. Talk about what we do know and what we don't know. 27:32 And with the dinosaur topic, there's a lot we don't know. 27:34 But this event that we've been touring now for like 6 or 7 27:37 years we've done shows and probably about 120 cities over 27:42 5 or 6 countries 27:44 basically takes a 90 minute stage show and on packs. 27:48 A lot of the evidence that we see in the bible in nature and 27:51 history in nature and, you know, all these places, 27:55 literature and get us to come to an understanding of when 27:58 they live. And, you know, yes, how did they come by? You know 28:02 what happened to them? So we do unpack all these questions and 28:05 answers. Eagles question directly. One of the parts of 28:09 the show pretty much kind of gives us a strong clue of the 28:12 coexisting part, which is the belief that the flood happened. 28:17 It's usually prominent story in the Bible, right? And this 28:22 event that would have buried and flooded the whole world. 28:26 So buried all the creatures buried all of that plants and 28:29 animals. Why we see so many fossils why we see so many 28:31 things buried under the ground, including dinosaurs, which 28:35 takes us back to the basic concept that at least we would 28:38 know for sure that at the time of the flood dinosaurs would 28:42 have a life. Yeah, because not only them everything on the 28:45 planet buried in layers on the ground, whether like I said it 28:48 was animals, dinosaurs, birds, trees, plants, whatever. 28:52 It's all Barry neatly underground by some sort of 28:56 global water catastrophe. So just by doing a little bit 29:00 of math, we can see that a co exist. It would appear that at 29:03 least up till the moment of the flood they were going to sting. 29:06 >> I really like how you engage the young people and especially 29:12 you even make honors for like the the pathfinders, for 29:16 example, and I think adventures as well. But what I find 29:19 interesting is that it's also adults because sometimes I get 29:23 questions even on dinosaurs. And it's the doll said also 29:26 have questions. And if I think about it, even my my 29:29 grandparents, they grew up thinking dinosaurs didn't even 29:32 exist. And now we have all this, you know, new science and 29:36 science may change, but God's word never changes. And so we 29:40 know that we can 29:41 use the Bible as tests where the snow. 29:44 >> And of course, the next step is to then get the word out. 29:46 And that's part of the work that we try to do as a 29:48 ministry. How do we engage the kids on the topic? So that's 29:51 why we do the live shows. We have episodes on different 29:55 TV, no programs or whatever to address the topic. So the movie 30:01 which will be premiering the trailer for later also hints in 30:04 that direction. I don't talk about it yet, but also created 30:07 with that specific thing in mind is to help kids become 30:10 well versed at explaining something, especially when they 30:13 get Townsend public. So they need to be able to intelligent 30:16 and respond and be able to understand. And the interesting 30:20 thing about our events, sometimes we literally get 4 30:22 year-old 5 year-old where on and they're not going 30:25 understand every single tiny detail of what we're talking 30:28 about. But if I can just get them to understand 10% of 20% 30:32 of it, it's the beginning of being in, you know, involved 30:36 and, you know, knowledgeable on the topic so that they see 30:39 that. Yeah, we're talking about this. Yeah, there's evidence, 30:43 you know, in favor of the younger and God, the creator 30:46 that is real that, you know, push back against the 30:48 aleutians. All these concepts are important even from a very 30:51 young age. 30:52 >> Yeah, the vitally important. I wrote down something that you 30:55 talked about. I really liked about how it's important to 30:57 talk about doubt. 30:59 You know, so many times we think, oh, I shouldn't think 31:01 that or I should question that. And I think then did you grow? 31:04 They fester as you talked about this and getting in the open 31:07 and being able to explore. So that's really healthy. 31:10 >> Yeah, that's that's necessary. So, you know, 31:13 I'd like to encourage the parents. If you get an 31:14 opportunity to talk to your kids about something that they 31:17 just need information on instead of trying to sweep it 31:20 under the carpet, it's important to just, you know, 31:22 bring it out in the open. If you don't know the answer to 31:24 every single thing. That's OK. 31:26 >> That game. But you're talking about it. You don't 31:27 want kids to feel like they can't ask a question that that 31:32 could do more and more damage anything. And, you know, 31:35 I'm so thankful that my daughter will ask me any 31:37 question is like no question should be buried in it. We 31:41 can't answer that question. It's being honest and say, 31:43 I honestly, I don't know. But I'll help you look for it 31:47 to light like let's look up the ante to gathers, though. 31:50 I like that. 31:51 >> Yeah, that mind frame. So we're going we're going 31:54 continue touring. Yeah. Talk about the upcoming Tory one was 31:57 right about that. 31:58 >> So it's interesting because we've done the show on the West 32:01 Coast, but we've done what I call the flying version, 32:05 which it's enough year that we can put on an airplane and they 32:08 do shows there. But in reality, the full-blown version of the 32:12 show takes a whole trailer that we have to bring that I can say 32:17 here. 32:18 >> Haha. 32:23 >> But the idea is to finally bring the full version of the 32:26 of the show to the West Coast, which I've never done before. 32:29 Wow, it was at the drive out there, which means that the 32:31 whole trailer. So we are currently working with about 8 32:35 or 9 different conferences over there to bring the show to 32:38 about 30 different cities fall. So we've got a big tour lined 32:42 up. So if you're anywhere from like Salt Lake City to Boise, 32:46 to Seattle, all the way down to La California, Oregon and 32:50 California, Oregon, and even into Arizona. And I think we're 32:54 finishing up in New Mexico in West Texas. Oh, it's a big C 32:59 has a big tour is a big tour. So we hope to be able to help a 33:03 lot of kids get answers and adults as well. As you said, 33:06 a lot of adults are super curious about the topic as 33:08 well. Only been wondering literally for decades. So 33:10 hopefully we can bring some answers and some clarity and 33:13 bill faith that the end of the day that's really also want to 33:15 do is build face on that. Any time we get an opportunity 33:19 to reduce doubts, it's the equivalent of building fake. 33:23 >> So that one must ID C dot com is the good place for you 33:26 to actually see the schedules. 33:29 >> For these encounters up. So again, if you go to the main 33:32 website, you scroll down and you'll see are linked to the 33:34 dial encounter website. And once we have the dates from, 33:38 they'll be posted on there. They're not there right now 33:41 because we're still locking in the last 8 events. But soon I'd 33:45 say the next few weeks a detour will be officially set. 33:48 >> So this means you have a heads up, which is exciting. 33:50 So you go to one must earn C dot com and you check it every 33:53 week until the day that are launched and solidified. 33:57 And then, you know, there you have a trailer for this. 33:59 So let's take a look at that right now. 34:01 [MUSIC] 34:06 [MUSIC] 34:11 [MUSIC] 34:16 [MUSIC] 34:21 [MUSIC] 34:23 >> Join rich angular as we explore evidence from signs 34:27 nature history 34:28 [MUSIC] 34:31 happened to the dinosaurs. When did they 34:34 did? They really evolve over music? 34:36 What is the least? 34:38 [MUSIC] 34:43 [MUSIC] 34:45 >> I'd like to invite you and your family or to join us. 34:48 Biden based on the story of a as we ask questions and search 34:53 for the 34:55 and everyone gets 3 D glasses. 34:58 >> I hope to see you soon. 34:59 [MUSIC] 35:03 Well, I think we answer our question. I think you can see 35:06 that is solve them. 35:08 >> You still need to go to the show through the tahini because 35:13 the 3 D glasses obviously is for a portion of the event that 35:16 we have. 35:17 >> So we had him out of the beginning when kids in 35:18 everybody's coming in. But it's so funny because everybody is 35:21 wearing them at the beginning of this. So the first thing 35:23 that I got to say to you guys look great, but you don't have 35:26 to wear. Yeah. Haha. So excited to be there. They're so excited 35:30 that the we're doing something unique and special for kids. 35:33 And that's part of the goal of what we're trying to do is we 35:35 do want to communicate to the kids that 35:38 we love them, that the church loves them and that we're doing 35:40 special events for them and that we're helping them wrestle 35:42 with topics that normally they don't get enough answers with. 35:45 So we really go out of our way to make it to a pretty fun 35:49 event. As you can see, the trailer. Good tips. 35:52 >> I really like that for sure. And so you have a lot more 35:56 lined up after that after the West Coast. 35:59 >> Yes, so right now we are talking to a Texas for the 36:04 eastern half of Texas, which in Texas conference to do a 36:06 continuation of the tour which would now be early 2024 so 36:11 February Sun, a Texas, obviously is a big state. 36:15 So if you live in Texas coming out in about a year. 36:19 >> That's super exciting. So we just got a text. And 36:22 here's another question. Why didn't the dinosaurs go 36:25 into the Ark and be saved from the fund? We've talked about. 36:30 They probably coexisted right, right before the flood. But why 36:33 didn't they go in and why were they safe? 36:35 >> So am I telling them that you guys are going to come to 36:38 the event? That is for sure? You know, and this is the 36:44 definitely fits into one of those questions that we don't 36:47 fully no good if they were on the ark or not. 36:51 And there's a huge assumption within a lot of groups that 36:54 they were not on the arc. 36:56 And it stems from some of the allergy wise writings where she 36:59 writes about related topics. But if you actually explore the 37:03 passengers in detail in context and the entire couple of 37:08 paragraphs, it is not as clear as a lot of people think that 37:12 they definitely were not on the arc. I think it's generally 37:15 accepted that that people think it just wasn't on the arc. 37:17 But there are a lot of clues 37:20 that would imply that they possibly world the arc and 37:23 evidence that they would have lived after the flood, which if 37:27 they lived after the flood, that would imply they survived 37:30 on the ark somehow. 37:31 So again, nothing yea or nay 100% black and white answers. 37:36 But we do talk about it. That is one of the points that 37:38 we do talk about in the show and explore the different 37:41 angles and possibilities and the what ifs of that question. 37:44 And I always tell when the show is like, you know, I got my 37:47 list of questions that I asked God. 37:49 >> That's like says when the time is a. 37:54 >> Yeah. And see science might change. You know, again, 37:57 how views of what happens. But again, God's word never 38:00 changes. So I'm so thankful that you're willing to even 38:03 attacked these questions that we don't know. The answer is 38:06 yes, you yeah. 38:07 >> Let's see what it does is it increases our faith in the 38:10 validity of the word of God. It discusses creation with 38:14 young people, which is vitally important because were thrown 38:18 at with evolution, you know, from so many different 38:20 directions. So it's really important to bring that to the 38:23 table. And plus, it's fun. 38:25 >> Yeah, you know, I mean, who doesn't want to see that? 38:27 And that's exciting. And just to see, that's the interesting 38:30 thing about it is the topic is also very friendly for 38:32 evangelism. So that's one of the things as we prepare and 38:35 promote and stuff like that is a great opportunity for 38:38 churches and for cities to use this as an evangelistic tool 38:41 because I've heard so many times that it's so hard to get 38:44 visitors to come to church. And it's true and maybe for a 38:48 lot of people that's just a difficult first engagement. 38:51 But if you can bring into this fun show about a topic that 38:53 everybody has questions about, that kids like that, adults 38:56 like you and we get to present creation and these topics in a 38:59 very show friendly type of setting. It's a great 39:03 opportunity to just can that be the first engagement where you 39:07 can talk about something that doesn't necessarily have to be 39:10 as as heavy or religious were. A lot of people would be kind 39:12 of put off by that. But this is kind of a great introductory a 39:17 way that just just open up the topic a little bit and start 39:20 discussing with with friends with people and neighbors who 39:22 ever. 39:23 >> Yeah. Absolutely. And you can get your Pathfinder venture 39:25 honor with the to connect with the right. 39:27 >> Yeah. So there's a Pathfinder, honor. Call 39:28 dinosaurs. I didn't write that one, but I did write the 39:31 adventure a low around or the path for the mentors because 39:35 they didn't have that. And 39:37 I felt that it needed to be there because especially those 39:40 little guys, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, year-olds are just in love. 39:44 Dinosaurs at the age group. Little boys. 39:46 >> Tend to really like soak up all these dinosaurs like they 39:49 seem to know every name of every kind of dinosaur. And 39:52 they like play with them. And I'm like. 39:54 >> How do you know them all? And then even my daughter was 39:57 in there. I knew them all at age 4 and I'm like, wait a 39:59 minute. I don't even know them. 40:02 >> Yeah, they love dinosaurs. Some great opportunity to be 40:05 able to capture that, get their attention through that and then 40:09 be able to break up. 40:10 >> I like how you're bringing the families and because and I 40:13 think I mean, with their families and even if a parent 40:17 is not so gung h* about religious aspects, 40:21 they will be open to what you're saying and ginger 40:24 leading them to consider. 40:25 >> Now all that is powerful. So we talked about Kids Bible 40:28 zone, which launches tomorrow night on achieving kids network 40:32 and of course, has been going 3 years already with primary 40:34 Sabha school and the dinosaur encounter. Now, let's talk 40:37 about my treasures, which all it airs on 3 being kids 40:41 network. But let's talk about that program and we'll see a 40:43 little clip of that. 40:45 So tell us about the program a little bit before one of the 40:48 clubs as well. So it's just not in his head. 40:50 >> Haha. 40:54 >> Has years, of course, is a program we produced. I think 41:00 the first 10 episodes several years ago and they've been 41:02 airing 41:04 and re airing. And we and haha, but we have some good news 41:09 because there are 42 more episodes on the way. So 25 of 41:16 them are just about done. And then I believe the other 17 41:19 are close behind after that. And it's a super exciting to 41:22 finally get some more of that through again and the love the 41:26 have the kids on the show and the involvement and artifacts 41:30 and the stories and learning about geography and being on an 41:33 adventure as we dive into the Bible, which of course we 41:36 promote point is that the Bible is like a treasure chest full 41:40 of amazing things that we can learn about. So it's pretty 41:43 exciting to to finally be. 41:45 >> Providing a little bit more than just the first 10 41:48 episodes. And you've had kids comment that they want to 41:50 participate in Eilat, Reuters. So that's wonderful, too, 41:54 because they have the excitement like I want to be 41:56 there. 41:58 >> Yeah, absolutely no. Yeah, it's exciting. So now let's go 42:00 take a look at that clip of 5 treasures. 42:04 >> First things first. Let's get this question in our 42:06 journey to India. 42:12 A problem with 42:14 Pride. Good question. And yeah. 42:19 >> You know what don't I think have an idea. What bargain 42:22 artifact? You know, I don't foresee what made it. 17 D 17, 42:26 D yeah. I think that will help. I love how we bring our little 42:29 props along our little treasures along and help us 42:32 teach these lessons out of a possible. But there is this is 42:36 a building. It's called the Burj Khalifa. And it's located 42:40 in a city called Dubai in a country called the United Arab 42:44 Emirates. 42:45 >> His building in the world. It is the tallest building in 42:48 the world. Sam, can you show us on the map? We're Dubai is 42:51 sure. You know, it's right. Here it is. 42:54 >> Yeah, that's it. 42:57 >> That's exciting. I want to go over to buy Yahoo. I notice 43:02 that travel is connected in a lot of the videos you do. 43:05 Why is that? 43:06 >> Well, I love to travel. So we I grew up doing a lot of 43:10 traveling and when I got old enough to be able to do some of 43:14 that on my own, 43:16 I found out that if I can combine that with children's 43:19 ministries, it's a great way to get kids attention because at 43:22 the end of the day we're talking about, you know, 43:24 20% are in kids. How do we get their attention? 43:28 Just talking to them is not enough anymore. So any little 43:31 cool and I can use to connect with them to engage them to get 43:34 them excited, which is why there's basically a couple of 43:38 very obvious recurring themes in what I do, which is travel 43:42 and nature adventure. And these are the 3 trifecta tool that I 43:47 used to to try to connect with kids because with woes 3, 43:50 I'm I should be able to kind of present some sort of exciting 43:55 angle or years. You know, nature, of course, is God 43:57 second book. So take a look at these amazing things that God 44:00 has made her. Take a look at these incredible locations and 44:03 this amazing mountain or or whatever. So these are part of 44:07 the tools that I've been able to kind of put my tool belt to 44:10 be able to engage with kids. So traveling then has become a 44:14 big part of that. And since I get a lot of opportunity to 44:17 travel to shoot a do events for a variety of reasons, I try to 44:23 double up. Yes. And if I'm at a place not necessarily to shoot, 44:28 I will make sure that I'm also shooting at that location 44:31 according to a recording. Right. But I can bring back 44:34 footage for one of the various programs that we're working on. 44:37 >> So very good now, Bob Treasures errors and Kids 44:40 Network and it airs on treatment, parent network and 44:42 several. So guess how's about that kids network? It airs so 44:45 many times that almost every day. 44:47 >> But I will say on Fridays at 08:45AM, and then at 08:00PM, 44:54 this is again Central Time and then on Sabbath at 03:00PM. 44:58 I'm on the afternoon. So. 45:00 >> Which is why you need another 42. Yeah, haha and 45:04 quite a few. So and and we have to keep in mind that there's 45:09 people in like Australia that how are needed. 45:11 >> Totally different time zone says some of them air like at 3 45:14 o'clock in the morning or, you know, different times like 45:16 that. But yeah, me we're many got to watch out for those 45:19 people on top of the world. Yeah. 45:21 >> Here's another question as this one before and then we'll 45:26 go to the book here. What has been the most exciting 45:29 adventure you have been on and this is kind of connected with 45:33 it. Have you ever been lost on one of your adventures to ever 45:37 get lost? What's the most exciting adventure and did you 45:39 ever get lost? 45:41 >> So probably one of the most exciting adventures with them. 45:44 I know that you guys show the creation case on the network 45:46 quite a bit. And it's a great program. One of the days that 45:49 we had to shoot was to climb Mount Saint Helens, which is a 45:53 volcano in Washington state. And that was an all-day 45:56 adventure and very difficult to pull off. And it's kind of fun 45:59 to watch the episode and its like, oh, this is going up and 46:02 climbing about. 46:03 And, you know, people don't know that it was like the toy 46:06 hour ordeal. It was very painful. It was very difficult 46:10 them out of gear and the amount of stuff that we had to haul up 46:13 that mountain because, you know, and that's one of those 46:15 places. Where did you shoot that on a green screen like no 46:17 haha really do that. It was hard. And we finally made it, 46:22 you know, to the edge of the crater at like 8, 30 at night. 46:26 And of course, people like the stuff. And then, of course, 46:30 I always tell them that we need down in one hour. 46:33 >> How did that happen? The fading us. You're going to 46:36 haha. I know my husband and I haven't tried it. I'm not brave 46:43 enough to sport. 46:45 >> It's a sport, but it's an activity where it's called 46:47 glistening. And you basically sit down on the snow pack 46:51 because at the top, it's it's not. And you basically slide 46:53 all the way down on your bottom. 46:55 Just make sure there's no cliff. That's right. Yeah. 46:58 Rocks the heads. Our guys don't try this at home. Had a guy 47:02 that guy does down because there's these huge boulders as 47:04 you're sliding down the mountain because the top of the 47:07 mountain is really the so all you do sit down and gravity 47:10 takes it down. 47:11 >> So I'd be too scared to tie that. He's too fast for me 47:17 and a half points for last 2. I'm pretty sure I never got 47:20 lost. 47:21 >> Not for too long. I don't think I think I'm pretty good 47:25 being orienta and map re the and so pistol GPS. I hope he's 47:30 going to the press. I don't think I've gotten was for more 47:33 than a minute or 2. 47:34 >> And because my batteries ran out. 47:39 >> But I like how you also include the map because that 47:42 makes it relevant to the kids because I there's so many times 47:46 where we have stories that take place in these 47:49 on 8 places. But if you can't tie it into a map, the kids 47:53 can't even find it on geography or around the globe. I mean, 47:57 what use is it? So it's nice that you've attached it to a 48:00 map. And and the world has become such a global place that 48:04 it's important to not just 48:05 >> focus on your own little bubble. And, you know, 48:08 everything is just like this one spot that I live in a big, 48:11 diverse world. And we need to be open to seeing what it's 48:14 like accepting of the cultures of the differences and and 48:17 embracing that in oftentimes that's portrayed as something 48:20 that horrible. It's different. You're you're the enemy because 48:22 you're different then like now we're going to break that down 48:25 by saying, look at all these other amazing, wonderful 48:27 places. They're just a regular normal in. These are real 48:30 people and God loves him, too. And it's it's cool to be 48:33 different. There's nothing wrong with being different. 48:34 It's cool to have righted God made variety, right? I mean, 48:37 how boring would be if you look exactly the same right toe, 48:40 you know, we celebrate variety, which again is countercultural 48:44 nowadays because often times are different. All that bad. 48:47 So as Christians, we push back on those ideas because we love 48:51 everyone. 48:52 >> Yeah, absolutely. We've got a stack of books here in front 48:54 and I know we carry a lot of your books all center here at 48:58 reviewed and are 3 main call Centre. But one mustard seed 49:01 has produced some incredible evangelist tools for young 49:04 people in the form of books and reading material. So talk to us 49:07 about the books we got here. 49:08 >> Yes, so a couple different styles of writing that you can 49:13 say. So like I mentioned earlier, adventure is one of my 49:17 tools. And so our devotional book, which has been out for 49:19 about 5 years is about 365 of my travel adventures yet or 49:26 rolled into lessons and stories and applications that kids can 49:29 grow from every single day. Nature would be kind of these 2 49:33 and part of my tool box again, ridiculously amazing nature and 49:36 the mud book. This is basically taking a close-up look at the 49:40 gods, amazing nature and just being in all and amazed by the 49:44 detail and the complexity and and again pushed back on 49:48 evolution because of pollution has one believe that everything 49:51 does happen by itself. What explains so much detail and 49:54 complexity and then the story in the adventure is kind of 49:58 what we try to do with our Bible time Adventure series. 50:01 And as you can see, all trying to fan out the 5 books that we 50:05 have in the series right now and the whole Bible time 50:08 adventure concept, you know, trying to go back to this idea 50:12 of how do we get kids to want to read Bible stories because 50:17 historically speaking, Bible stories have always been first 50:20 person, adult point of view. 50:23 Yes, sometimes they're rewritten kids point of view. 50:25 But I was like, okay, you know, how can I use the my creativity 50:30 to come up with a different way of telling kids stories? 50:33 So I came up with this idea of 50:36 writing by will stories from the point of view, 50:39 a couple of kids, fictional kids that were there. Yeah, 50:43 they saw I witness that they were along for the whole ride 50:47 and they saw piece by piece. So we get to see the story from 50:50 kids point of view and is the true Bible story. But we're 50:53 just seeing from the kids point of view, which of course, 50:55 that allows a creative person to write in a bunch of little 50:58 adventures and mysteries and things that they're trying to 51:00 figure out how we can get there. What's going to happen 51:02 to Queen Esther, you know, whatever. So it it really is a 51:06 fun combination way of telling a Bible story from the point of 51:10 view of some kids that were there. 51:11 >> So the 5 books and they feature what? 5 different 51:14 officers. 51:16 >> Yes, fire walkers is the story of Elijah and then 51:19 there's fire from this. 51:20 >> I got there on that. Would be sure was a Yahoo. 51:27 >> Then fired early skies. The story of Elijah, yes, 51:30 on Mount Carmel, the Mount Carmel Valley up. And then the 51:33 Queen's crisis is the story of Queen asked answer no flight. 51:36 And then I have made a little change in the series. So now 51:40 I'm writing in series. So the next 2 are actually part one of 51:44 Joseph, which is the favorite son and part 2, which is called 51:49 the Faithful Slave. Yeah. And so part 3 and part 4 are 51:53 about to come out soon, which would complete the story of 51:56 Joseph and then I'm already at this point working on the next 52:00 series. Wow, which I'm not. 52:02 >> I say oh, that's cool. Sorry, haha. 52:08 >> He's going to be at several books on that, too. Yeah, 52:12 I can just be a lot of going on coming. 52:18 >> But hopefully, you know, this creates kind of a fun 52:20 engaging way for kids to interact with the story by 52:22 seeing it. Like I said from the kids point of view, throwing in 52:25 some adventure and some creativity and they can really 52:28 engage with the story. 52:29 >> What I like about what you're doing is there's several 52:32 kids that have written to me 52:34 and said I want to be a writer. I want it how I want to be able 52:38 to write stories and how should I go about it? And so it's nice 52:42 because I can lead them to some of your books or some other 52:45 authors. You know, that give that kind of point of view 52:47 because these are powerful because kids are interested in 52:50 writing to and that helps them with their creativity, even 52:54 when they're writing for school. What not? This is a 52:57 prime example that kids have needed and long for for a long 53:01 time. I would say yeah. 53:02 >> And I've run into lots of kids that just an amazing 53:04 writing talent. We just have to figure out how we can plug them 53:07 in and get them use their talents. And even if you start 53:10 small and then grow and we've we've got to provide 53:13 opportunities for them. 53:14 >> It makes a Bible come alive. You know, when you read that 53:17 and it comes alive in you feel like I could be the kid in that 53:20 story and you see what's happening and we carry these at 53:24 our 3ABN call center. That's right. You can go online 3 be 53:29 in store dot com and you can just order the books right now 53:32 or you can always give us a call during regular business 53:35 hours. And we'd be delighted to get those books in your hands 53:38 and you can share them, which is an incredible blessing. 53:40 I just want to know as we're talking, I'm just thinking 53:43 I have time in a day like you write in your thinking, oh, 53:47 I got this series and I got this other series coming up and 53:50 you're traveling and you're trying to produce. But, you 53:52 know, Sable school episodes and being can you do in dinosaur 53:57 encounters? And 53:58 >> we have gotten the half of which were some of the 1st half 54:01 of the show. Have trouble set when you're a kid. Yeah. 54:07 And from that, I was that. 54:11 >> I remember, you know, I don't live with people. You 54:13 know, when I was a kid and you go to the parent teacher 54:15 conferences in, yeah, this rich guy, he's a, you know, 54:20 overly creative over imagination. That was always 54:23 kind of what with the assessment was. And so 54:25 basically I try to funnel that obviously to give God, Laurin 54:29 put the passion to honoring God. So the gift of creativity 54:34 is something that I feel like that God has given me. And so I 54:38 need to use it. And 54:41 the problem sometimes that's because the you know, and I 54:45 always thought everybody was like that just everybody had 54:47 ideas are really was creative. And then, you know, I remember 54:50 when I was little my mom's like, how do you come up with 54:52 these it? 54:54 >> He was like that are ready to do that. And I I discovered 54:58 later that that's not the case and that the way that my brain 55:02 works, like everybody else is totally different. And for me, 55:04 it says this just non-stop barrage of ideas. 55:09 >> But I think kids in general should be very creative and 55:13 always playing like. And I think that's sometimes where 55:17 some of us adults have hindered the hits because we expect him 55:22 to sit still for X amount of time, especially at school. 55:26 And they need that time to to be playful, to be energetic and 55:30 to be creative. And sometimes we we don't allow them to do 55:34 that. And so I I mean, kudos to you because you've been able to 55:39 channel that. 55:40 >> And and being an inspiration for a lot of kids. So try and 55:43 we try. 55:44 >> And so do you wake up at night with ideas or do you have 55:46 trouble going to sleep at night because it got so many ideas 55:48 going on. It's a problem. 55:50 >> The problem I do wake up at night with ideas and have a you 55:53 know it. The journal got him on my phone. And yeah, I know 55:56 because they sometimes come in the middle of a Dreamer. 55:59 You know, it's kind of funny. Some of the strangest places 56:01 where I get my ideas. For example, the here's a secret 56:03 one of the best places that I get my ideas cutting grass. 56:07 >> We would agree with you. He always says. 56:11 >> When I mow the lawn, Jolie, I just get ideas for and 56:15 whether it's a creative idea or how to solve a problem or how 56:18 to fix something. He always says he loves moment because 56:20 he's minds work. 56:22 >> Yeah, and I know I'm not a lot of people listening to 56:23 father, mowing whatever. But, 56:24 you know, this is my time to just Tully zoned out and my 56:27 mind can be free to just wonder. 56:29 >> And you back out in nature, not having to really think 56:33 you're able to be creative the like them. And for that hour, 56:36 my mind. 56:37 >> Wanders. And it's it's kind of fun coming up with ideas and 56:41 then tried that course you got to remember and run inside 56:43 right now. 56:44 >> One on it's not a bad. Haha. Your grass? Yeah. But 56:50 it's my turn to mobilize. 56:52 >> I'm out there in the middle of the when I got to cut grass. 56:54 Haha. Blowing. Snow plaza has the same effect. 56:58 >> We have a phone another hour coming up of children's 57:01 evangelism with one mustard seed and our very own rich 57:05 angular.
