>> Sometimes the 2 minute break
is even more exciting than what
00:00:11.14\00:00:13.78
you get to watch. One of these
days. We do a behind the scenes
00:00:13.78\00:00:17.61
behind the scenes were keeps
rolling and you can see what
00:00:17.61\00:00:19.98
happens truly behind the
scenes. I'm Jill Morricone.
00:00:19.98\00:00:23.08
We're so delighted that
you joined us for this Thursday
00:00:23.08\00:00:25.69
night live program as we
talk with Rich Aguilar and the
00:00:25.69\00:00:29.39
president of one mustard seed.
And he is a creative printing
00:00:29.39\00:00:34.00
can say this, a creative
genius, which is, as I would
00:00:34.00\00:00:36.80
say so because he thinks
outside the box. And I mean,
00:00:36.80\00:00:40.34
I can't fathom how he puts
it all together and is able to
00:00:40.34\00:00:43.97
produce what he does.
It's amazing. I mean, God is
00:00:43.97\00:00:47.31
definitely
00:00:47.31\00:00:49.41
with you. And we see
that he's learned given you.
00:00:49.41\00:00:53.01
>> It's a privilege that I can
channel all that for something
00:00:53.01\00:00:55.75
that is so
meaningful as serving on.
00:00:55.75\00:00:57.85
>> In him. And so we talked
about one mustard seat and
00:00:57.85\00:01:01.69
we've been referencing the
website, the whole program.
00:01:01.69\00:01:03.59
And that is where you can find
the links to all the different
00:01:03.59\00:01:05.79
things that we're talking about
here tonight. It's a one-stop
00:01:05.79\00:01:08.63
shop and it will lead you
on a travel adventure to many
00:01:08.63\00:01:11.97
different websites. One mustard
seed dot com. Where did you
00:01:11.97\00:01:15.74
come up with a
name? One must unsafe.
00:01:15.74\00:01:17.77
>> Well, it had to do
with our beginnings, which as I
00:01:17.77\00:01:20.91
mentioned earlier on the show,
I did architecture for 16 years
00:01:20.91\00:01:24.25
as the first part of my career.
00:01:24.25\00:01:26.21
I'm hoping that it would
fulfill my creative needs,
00:01:26.21\00:01:29.15
but then
00:01:29.15\00:01:30.59
and then I, you know, through a
whole nother episode of talking
00:01:30.59\00:01:34.22
and what happened they did,
it was compelled to start the
00:01:34.22\00:01:37.19
ministry,
00:01:37.19\00:01:38.36
which then meant I had to come
up with a name. Yeah. And the
00:01:38.36\00:01:41.93
first thing I thought of
was I'm really shutting down my
00:01:41.93\00:01:45.07
architecture practice to take
a massive leap of faith because
00:01:45.07\00:01:48.90
it's not like somebody offered
me a job or had clarity on what
00:01:48.90\00:01:51.81
I was gonna do. It was a
totally but faith to just say,
00:01:51.81\00:01:54.78
I'm going to serve God now with
all my time with all my energy,
00:01:54.78\00:01:58.68
what I call this thing. And
so I thought mustard seed, which
00:01:58.68\00:02:02.48
is a symbol of faith. But then
I thought, I mean, zoom in on
00:02:02.48\00:02:06.09
this a little bit more because
really to get that big must
00:02:06.09\00:02:09.76
urge tree to
grow. You just need one
00:02:09.76\00:02:14.46
mustard seen. Yeah. And that's
what I felt. Myself could be
00:02:14.46\00:02:18.33
one tiny. Most are sued for
God that can hopefully do a big
00:02:18.33\00:02:21.84
giant thing for God.
00:02:21.84\00:02:23.57
>> One Western Sea. He's
blessed you because of that and
00:02:23.57\00:02:27.51
learn why men? Absolutely.
So one must concede. RU 501.
00:02:27.51\00:02:32.48
C 3 organization should ask
you this before now. No, not a
00:02:32.48\00:02:35.95
nonprofit that okay. But people
can donate. They can definitely
00:02:35.95\00:02:39.72
support and help us do the
work perfect. So if you want to
00:02:39.72\00:02:43.66
donate if you want to support,
we believe in one God is doing
00:02:43.66\00:02:46.90
in and through rich and one
mustard seed for young people
00:02:46.90\00:02:50.93
in for evangelism for young
people, get them into the word
00:02:50.93\00:02:53.90
and into nature and into
travel and adventure. You're
00:02:53.90\00:02:57.57
three-pronged approach. I love
that. So you can support one
00:02:57.57\00:03:01.14
mustard seed by going online to
one mustard C dot com. And you
00:03:01.14\00:03:06.88
can donate that way in support
the ministry there. Let's talk
00:03:06.88\00:03:11.05
a little bit about another
prong, I guess we can say.
00:03:11.05\00:03:14.59
And this is week of prayer.
So talk to us about week a
00:03:14.59\00:03:17.26
prayer and what even led to
this in the impetus for that.
00:03:17.26\00:03:19.76
>> Yeah, so obviously
when you're working with kids,
00:03:19.76\00:03:22.26
that also means you have a
certain amount of engagement
00:03:22.26\00:03:24.70
with schools, especially our
church schools. And so I would
00:03:24.70\00:03:28.17
get a lot of invitations to
engage the to the schools and
00:03:28.17\00:03:31.07
events and all sorts of things.
00:03:31.07\00:03:33.34
And in the process of that,
I discovered it was only a few
00:03:33.34\00:03:37.88
years ago that a great amount
of our schools are what I would
00:03:37.88\00:03:42.45
call medium to small.
00:03:42.45\00:03:45.42
And when I also discovered in
the process was that there are
00:03:45.42\00:03:48.89
all encouraged to have these
week of prayer events, usually
00:03:48.89\00:03:52.89
one at the beginning of the
year, one towards the end of
00:03:52.89\00:03:54.83
the year
00:03:54.83\00:03:55.96
and that this is part of what's
expected out of the church
00:03:55.96\00:03:58.37
schools.
00:03:58.37\00:03:59.43
And as I talk to people, I
found out that the that the
00:03:59.43\00:04:02.17
great majority of the schools
being small and medium, they
00:04:02.17\00:04:05.71
had a challenge of providing
a meaningful speaker for their
00:04:05.71\00:04:10.31
kids because somebody schools
are very remote locations,
00:04:10.31\00:04:13.85
hard and expensive to be
bringing in no speakers and and
00:04:13.85\00:04:17.49
people that would be dynamic
and exciting for the kids and
00:04:17.49\00:04:20.12
engaging the kids. So what
would often happen is the they
00:04:20.12\00:04:24.09
would just ask a local person,
the retired pastor, somebody
00:04:24.09\00:04:27.56
else to just come in
and speak to the kids.
00:04:27.56\00:04:29.63
And I was getting a lot of
feedback saying while we would
00:04:29.63\00:04:34.07
just love to have rich come
out for a week, a prayer. But,
00:04:34.07\00:04:37.64
you know, he's not going to
come all the way over here is
00:04:37.64\00:04:39.91
too complicated to
cull their whatever.
00:04:39.91\00:04:42.14
>> You know, I think
everyone's UK at exactly.
00:04:42.14\00:04:45.78
>> But then around the time of
the pandemic, when it became a
00:04:45.78\00:04:49.82
lot more acceptable to appear,
virtually I decided, hey,
00:04:49.82\00:04:54.76
what if I could appear
virtually for the schools?
00:04:54.76\00:04:58.06
So I came up with the idea
of creating a week of prayer.
00:04:58.06\00:05:01.26
>> Experience where I would
produce 5 distinct events which
00:05:01.26\00:05:06.70
would be played Monday Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
00:05:06.70\00:05:09.27
at the schools. There are some
this I say that graphic week
00:05:09.27\00:05:12.24
uproar online dot com. I
love that. And so basically they
00:05:12.24\00:05:15.91
would go on this on our website.
00:05:15.91\00:05:17.78
>> And be able to have access
to the 5 episodes. And it's not
00:05:17.78\00:05:21.92
just the 5 episodes that
they're watching. It's also a
00:05:21.92\00:05:25.12
content so that they
could prepare the rest of the
00:05:25.12\00:05:27.56
program. So with the kids that
are there in person I provide
00:05:27.56\00:05:31.46
this is the Bible verse that
we're featuring today that were
00:05:31.46\00:05:34.00
stories talking about today.
This is our prayer group that
00:05:34.00\00:05:37.00
we're going to be focusing our
prayers on today. So every day
00:05:37.00\00:05:39.40
that would be something
different. So it's it's the
00:05:39.40\00:05:41.17
video plus the material that
they need around it to create a
00:05:41.17\00:05:44.74
meaningful, we compare
experience virtually at least
00:05:44.74\00:05:48.18
my part being able to engage
and tell stories and have them
00:05:48.18\00:05:51.48
since virtually. And so the
idea that we have is that we're
00:05:51.48\00:05:55.58
going to produce one every
single year. Wow. So, you know,
00:05:55.58\00:05:59.72
the feedback that we've
got from the schools is that we
00:05:59.72\00:06:02.39
would love
00:06:02.39\00:06:03.59
to have at least one of them
be virtual and the other one can
00:06:03.59\00:06:05.79
still be an in-person human
that would come in. And haha.
00:06:05.79\00:06:12.93
But then the other one that,
you know, I found out a lot of
00:06:12.93\00:06:15.00
the churches, schools are very
open to the idea of having one
00:06:15.00\00:06:18.21
virtual event where it's,
you know, I get to be there with
00:06:18.21\00:06:21.24
the kids to be exciting.
And in some cases, I've
00:06:21.24\00:06:23.65
actually even done a quick zoom
with the with the kids lives
00:06:23.65\00:06:27.32
are or sent them a custom
little video just to their
00:06:27.32\00:06:29.85
school. So if I can do
something like that, also to
00:06:29.85\00:06:32.39
kind of customize the
experience that we can prayer
00:06:32.39\00:06:34.42
experience for them. I am happy
to do that. I would love that.
00:06:34.42\00:06:38.49
>> I would have loved that as a
teacher because I was a teacher
00:06:38.49\00:06:41.26
for 8 years in a one-room
classroom in and they're in
00:06:41.26\00:06:43.93
Michigan. There is a lot
of schools that are just small
00:06:43.93\00:06:47.14
schools. And I know around the
United States, we have a lot of
00:06:47.14\00:06:50.91
small schools and this is
vital. I mean, it brings it
00:06:50.91\00:06:54.34
alive again. And I know my
daughter enjoyed having it here
00:06:54.34\00:06:58.28
in Thompsonville. They did a
series and she really liked how
00:06:58.28\00:07:01.45
he had to stories also that
tied into a novel. I think a
00:07:01.45\00:07:05.29
lot of people are unaware
that literally there hundreds of
00:07:05.29\00:07:07.96
most small schools and
it's just under $100 say yeah,
00:07:07.96\00:07:11.79
but something was really
affordable for the schools,
00:07:11.79\00:07:15.23
the small schools to be able to
00:07:15.23\00:07:17.37
>> incorporate that in their
program that so as as the years
00:07:17.37\00:07:20.44
pass, hopefully then obviously
there would be more series to
00:07:20.44\00:07:23.30
make from the for the first
one that we did last year was
00:07:23.30\00:07:26.24
called the greatest adventure.
So we we we're behalf done
00:07:26.24\00:07:30.68
shooting the one that we're
going planning on releasing
00:07:30.68\00:07:32.51
here in the fall.
So what's that went on?
00:07:32.51\00:07:34.72
>> So they pick something
the last one, the first with the
00:07:34.72\00:07:37.19
with the one now that you're
doing? I can say no, but I do
00:07:37.19\00:07:42.92
feature a story. Yes, story a
story. And it has to do with my
00:07:42.92\00:07:47.23
visit.
00:07:47.23\00:07:49.23
How much distance and with that
point there. But I'll tell you
00:07:49.23\00:07:51.67
this much. Okay. I was in West
Berlin when the wall came down.
00:07:51.67\00:07:56.20
You were really
I climb the wall.
00:07:56.20\00:07:58.54
>> Rely now just a fluke
accident as the year that I was
00:07:58.54\00:08:03.24
studying in France and
the timing just worked out
00:08:03.24\00:08:06.18
perfectly that I was in
West Berlin. One experience that
00:08:06.18\00:08:09.82
firsthand. All the amazing
this second series is revolving
00:08:09.82\00:08:14.76
around that experience.
00:08:14.76\00:08:16.29
>> I like how you tie in
because it's supposed to be a
00:08:16.29\00:08:18.59
week of prayer and you focusing
on what we should pray for
00:08:18.59\00:08:21.80
these different days. And I
think that's powerful because
00:08:21.80\00:08:24.80
we want to get the kids again
focus on praying for others.
00:08:24.80\00:08:28.77
Yeah.
00:08:28.77\00:08:30.24
>> And that's that's the
powerful thing of prayer is,
00:08:30.24\00:08:32.24
you know, we call it week of
prayer. But sometimes we forget
00:08:32.24\00:08:34.88
about the prayer element.
So one of the things that I try
00:08:34.88\00:08:37.25
to do as part of the week, a
prayer resources left hone in
00:08:37.25\00:08:40.78
very specifically on these
5 groups of people, groups,
00:08:40.78\00:08:45.52
whether it's, you know, pastors
and teachers or, you know,
00:08:45.52\00:08:48.32
first responders and fire,
you know, people and nurses and
00:08:48.32\00:08:51.19
doctors are, you know, the
missionaries. And, you know,
00:08:51.19\00:08:53.46
so every day there's a
special group that we're really
00:08:53.46\00:08:55.60
focusing in on to
pray for him to pay him.
00:08:55.60\00:08:58.90
That's powerful.
00:08:58.90\00:09:00.24
>> This just came in from
Florida. What is your most
00:09:00.24\00:09:03.91
favorite country
that you visited and why?
00:09:03.91\00:09:05.97
>> Hahaha, maybe pick a couple
top. Yeah, that's warfare.
00:09:05.97\00:09:11.81
That guard question. But there
are some standouts, I guess.
00:09:11.81\00:09:17.45
And I think for me.
00:09:17.45\00:09:19.59
>> If I had to pick pick
3, I have to say a New Zealand
00:09:19.59\00:09:23.69
and Iceland and
probably about one.
00:09:23.69\00:09:26.83
>> Why? Why? Why
those to find a standout?
00:09:26.83\00:09:29.73
>> In New Zealand, the nature
is just amazing, at least from
00:09:29.73\00:09:33.54
my particular taste with
mountains and glaciers and snow
00:09:33.54\00:09:36.54
and fjords and this whole
thing, Iceland very similar.
00:09:36.54\00:09:39.91
I for some reason really drawn
to this whole volcanic, OK and
00:09:39.91\00:09:44.55
the landscape there are
so different. The mountains,
00:09:44.55\00:09:46.78
the, you know, hot springs
and just just amazing. So
00:09:46.78\00:09:50.62
different.
00:09:50.62\00:09:51.75
And then but one, I think it
which impressed press me a lot
00:09:51.75\00:09:54.16
was that we spent pretty
much most of our time on safari.
00:09:54.16\00:09:56.96
Also seeing the animals in
their natural habitat is so
00:09:56.96\00:10:00.50
different than seeing them
first, for example, in the zoo
00:10:00.50\00:10:03.33
we feel like elephants. Yeah,
that's exactly so everything
00:10:03.33\00:10:06.70
just running around and it
and is now a one or 2 without
00:10:06.70\00:10:10.54
telling friends in earlier
and let you go to the zoo in UCL
00:10:10.54\00:10:13.21
fun, too. But then out there,
you're driving around suddenly.
00:10:13.21\00:10:16.31
>> 40 go by that. And they're
engaging totally different
00:10:16.31\00:10:20.88
because they're this.
00:10:20.88\00:10:22.02
>> Family of elephants that's
moving through the savannah.
00:10:22.02\00:10:24.65
And you can literally see
personalities. And it's just
00:10:24.65\00:10:27.69
amazing, easy to to be
able to discern which was the
00:10:27.69\00:10:30.56
matriarch. And it's so cool
to see them in their natural
00:10:30.56\00:10:33.86
habitat is so different.
00:10:33.86\00:10:35.40
>> I love that. Here's another
question. How big is your
00:10:35.40\00:10:38.43
production crew?
00:10:38.43\00:10:39.33
>> Recording? Do I
do? It varies from.
00:10:39.33\00:10:43.44
>> Show to show or whatever it
is that I'm doing will require.
00:10:43.44\00:10:46.61
I think the most
I've ever had was
00:10:46.61\00:10:49.01
me plus 4, OK? And the smallest
has been 0. I have a set up
00:10:49.01\00:10:54.38
where I shoot myself and
record, you know, self Mike,
00:10:54.38\00:10:58.22
myself and I I do the
whole thing myself. So.
00:10:58.22\00:11:00.52
>> It means Iran most of time.
A lot of that is going to have.
00:11:00.52\00:11:04.73
And of course, when you're
going to some of these places
00:11:04.73\00:11:06.80
that are so remote
and so hard to get to.
00:11:06.80\00:11:09.13
>> The idea of of coming out
and bring in a full crew is is
00:11:09.13\00:11:13.00
not possible and a lot of the
stuff is as can be spontaneous
00:11:13.00\00:11:16.57
to. So you've got to be ready
at all times. A player Cameron
00:11:16.57\00:11:20.58
Start filming.
00:11:20.58\00:11:21.64
>> Capture that moment.
That's right. Yeah. I got to be
00:11:21.64\00:11:23.48
instant in season. So
we're going back to the week. A
00:11:23.48\00:11:26.28
prayer for just one moment.
He said the first this week a
00:11:26.28\00:11:29.32
prayer was the greatest
adventure. What stories that
00:11:29.32\00:11:32.32
focus on.
00:11:32.32\00:11:33.42
>> So I had this very unique
adventure. The first time I
00:11:33.42\00:11:37.73
went to Egypt. And so it's
basically what happened to me
00:11:37.73\00:11:42.13
and all the different
pieces of that episode.
00:11:42.13\00:11:45.50
Each one with a distinct,
unique lesson that I learned
00:11:45.50\00:11:49.40
and things that
happened on that trip,
00:11:49.40\00:11:51.67
an eye-opening experience.
I assure obviously the details
00:11:51.67\00:11:55.54
and if you haven't figured
it out already, the central part
00:11:55.54\00:11:58.45
of the week, a prayer is using
stories. And I think stories
00:11:58.45\00:12:04.45
powerful, just as I mentioned
earlier with the books, you
00:12:04.45\00:12:07.19
know, then, you know,
we're going to talk a little bit
00:12:07.19\00:12:09.39
about movies. It's all the same
thing. It's stories and why so
00:12:09.39\00:12:13.19
many stories and I totally
stole that from Jesus who take
00:12:13.19\00:12:18.17
care of Jesus favorite
way of teaching fence. So I'm
00:12:18.17\00:12:23.77
borrowing from him. One of,
you know, from his playbook is
00:12:23.77\00:12:27.94
stories telling everybody love
stories. Everybody engages with
00:12:27.94\00:12:30.88
the story. So if I can tell
stories, get their attention
00:12:30.88\00:12:34.48
and then apply lesson. That's
that's the way we try to teach
00:12:34.48\00:12:38.59
and engage people.
00:12:38.59\00:12:40.26
>> Powerful. Why do you
think stories are? I know people
00:12:40.26\00:12:43.69
identify with that,
but why do you think?
00:12:43.69\00:12:47.23
>> I think just because they
relate to them that something
00:12:47.23\00:12:49.50
that happened to them. So it's
like, yeah, that happened to me
00:12:49.50\00:12:52.40
or yeah, I went to that exact
same spot cause. My stories
00:12:52.40\00:12:55.44
aren't always from some
wild, crazy place. It could be.
00:12:55.44\00:12:58.34
You know, when I ran into a
bison on some national park.
00:12:58.34\00:13:02.21
>> I had a wild and crazy when
I say a place and they've been
00:13:02.21\00:13:07.95
there. You know, that's
always a big thing when.
00:13:07.95\00:13:10.59
>> When the motion book first
came out, I had a lot of people
00:13:10.59\00:13:13.82
that told me that they were
like that put the map on the
00:13:13.82\00:13:16.22
wall and they were tracked
the places that I was. And then
00:13:16.22\00:13:19.09
when it was a place that
they had been to, that was extra
00:13:19.09\00:13:21.60
special because they're like,
have I saw the exact same thing
00:13:21.60\00:13:24.93
and against the excited because
they have this connection
00:13:24.93\00:13:27.77
point. And it's all because of
story. The story of when I went
00:13:27.77\00:13:31.91
there is similar to the
story of when they went there.
00:13:31.91\00:13:34.48
And of course, by having
variety of stories, I can
00:13:34.48\00:13:38.21
relate to the kids at an
Australia are the kids that are
00:13:38.21\00:13:40.88
in the UK, whatever, because
I was there was there and I was
00:13:40.88\00:13:43.42
there. So they each have
00:13:43.42\00:13:45.42
connection points
where we can relate on.
00:13:45.42\00:13:47.62
>> And it gives that mental
picture. I think also, as you
00:13:47.62\00:13:50.86
envision a little bet you you
put yourself or identify like
00:13:50.86\00:13:54.40
you said and the stories.
And so in your mind, you must
00:13:54.40\00:13:57.93
picture a similar situation.
And I think that's why it's so
00:13:57.93\00:14:01.27
powerful that storytelling
parables are very important,
00:14:01.27\00:14:05.31
even to young people
and adults like him, too.
00:14:05.31\00:14:07.88
>> Yahoo Lou. So this week, a
prayer online, you can just go
00:14:07.88\00:14:14.95
to one must earn C dot com
and you can get the information
00:14:14.95\00:14:18.15
about the week. A prayer
online. If your school may be
00:14:18.15\00:14:20.89
homeschool groups can do it
as well. Absolutely. I even had
00:14:20.89\00:14:23.32
touches.
00:14:23.32\00:14:24.43
>> Use the resource parallel
to look at Angeles to me or
00:14:24.43\00:14:27.50
something. So we've seen a
whole bunch of different uses
00:14:27.50\00:14:29.93
it as long as they can figure
out how to put 5 different
00:14:29.93\00:14:33.23
episodes are days into an event
that we can use for a variety
00:14:33.23\00:14:38.17
of different things.
00:14:38.17\00:14:39.74
>> And works a lot that can.
Let's switch gears. We've been
00:14:39.74\00:14:41.21
talking video. We've been
talking virtual. What about
00:14:41.21\00:14:44.05
podcast? Talk about your
podcast in what got you into
00:14:44.05\00:14:48.15
podcast?
00:14:48.15\00:14:49.28
>> Well, you know, from the
very beginning when we started
00:14:49.28\00:14:51.72
one mustard seed, my idea
and when I proposed a guy does I
00:14:51.72\00:14:56.29
want to reach as many people
as possible and all walk through
00:14:56.29\00:14:59.06
whatever door you open. And so
as we've kind of progress with
00:14:59.06\00:15:02.40
our ministry work, we've tried,
you know, doing video. We've
00:15:02.40\00:15:05.37
tried doing writing, we've
tried doing events. So at some
00:15:05.37\00:15:08.37
point you start asking
like what other spaces exist,
00:15:08.37\00:15:12.07
where I can also reach people.
And so it's been 2 years ago or
00:15:12.07\00:15:17.25
something. This idea was born
of what if we do a radio show
00:15:17.25\00:15:20.78
or podcast, which nowadays
are parallel and so is like,
00:15:20.78\00:15:24.59
okay, the audio space,
the listening space, you know,
00:15:24.59\00:15:28.09
you can reach different.
Now there's, you know, devices
00:15:28.09\00:15:31.83
where people can listen on
demand not just waiting for the
00:15:31.83\00:15:34.83
show at 07:30PM. I have to
be a, you know, bright. So we
00:15:34.83\00:15:38.97
decided to experiment into
that space. And then of course,
00:15:38.97\00:15:41.57
the challenge was
00:15:41.57\00:15:42.80
and what to do because
typically a lot of the kids,
00:15:42.80\00:15:48.91
religious programming is
stories. Yeah, which again,
00:15:48.91\00:15:52.35
I'm a huge fan
of and supporter of
00:15:52.35\00:15:55.45
but I was trying to think,
okay, what can I do? That's
00:15:55.45\00:15:57.49
different. That they got
enough stories may be different
00:15:57.49\00:16:01.06
approach. So our podcast, which
is called God's Green Earth
00:16:01.06\00:16:05.29
takes on a totally different
approach. It's a variety
00:16:05.29\00:16:08.13
program. So we have all a
whole bunch of segments. There's
00:16:08.13\00:16:11.37
probably I think,
00:16:11.37\00:16:12.77
12, 13, 14 different segments
within the half-hour time slot
00:16:12.77\00:16:17.17
a lot. And we have are nature
saying that we have our history
00:16:17.17\00:16:21.21
segment and I have my travel
adventure story and then we
00:16:21.21\00:16:23.88
have our silly minute and then
there's game show and we have a
00:16:23.88\00:16:27.42
brain teaser and we have
this thing called the What's it
00:16:27.42\00:16:30.19
and the
centerpiece had to say what of?
00:16:30.19\00:16:33.59
>> What you have to guess.
Yeah. What is it? So basically
00:16:33.59\00:16:40.50
for that segment, I play a
sound of something that got me
00:16:40.50\00:16:43.77
or animal or
something in nature that I may.
00:16:43.77\00:16:46.57
>> And the kids I give it
to the beginning of the episode
00:16:46.57\00:16:49.04
and the kids have to listen
to it and try to figure out what
00:16:49.04\00:16:51.94
the sound came from the
fun. So then at the end of the
00:16:51.94\00:16:54.88
episode, I reveal the answer.
What was it was a fruit bat and
00:16:54.88\00:16:58.18
you know, whatever it was
making the noise. So that the
00:16:58.18\00:17:00.62
what I just.
00:17:00.62\00:17:01.42
>> When you're
mowing the lawn. Haha.
00:17:01.42\00:17:06.29
>> What the centerpiece of the
show is what I call the pretend
00:17:06.29\00:17:09.62
I'm attic.
00:17:09.62\00:17:10.73
And that was my excuse to
use my imagination and pretend
00:17:10.73\00:17:14.60
world which kids love to
protect. Yeah. Make believe
00:17:14.60\00:17:17.20
that they believe that I have
this pretend time machine that
00:17:17.20\00:17:19.90
I go back and I talked to
Bible characters. And so I I
00:17:19.90\00:17:23.67
literally go into my pretend
time machine and I go back and
00:17:23.67\00:17:26.61
talk to a Bible character.
And I asked him questions and,
00:17:26.61\00:17:30.65
you know, hearing a Bible
story from the point of view of
00:17:30.65\00:17:35.65
literally talking to the Bible
character, tell their own story
00:17:35.65\00:17:39.95
is a very different way to hear
a Bible story versus we always
00:17:39.95\00:17:43.89
are told about a Bible story.
And he did this and she did
00:17:43.89\00:17:46.70
that. And this happened to them
when I was like, what happens
00:17:46.70\00:17:49.46
if we actually hear it straight
from them. So that's the kind
00:17:49.46\00:17:53.67
of the centerpiece. The meat
and potatoes of of each episode
00:17:53.67\00:17:56.00
is our pretend a matter of
when I go back to our potential
00:17:56.00\00:17:58.54
magic and a talk to the Bible
here that is featured in that a
00:17:58.54\00:18:01.98
person.
00:18:01.98\00:18:03.35
>> I like how you can do it
on podcast because when you're
00:18:03.35\00:18:05.68
traveling, that's easier to
do. When you just load up your
00:18:05.68\00:18:10.62
phone in could hook it up to
your car, for example, on your
00:18:10.62\00:18:14.92
family can listen to a podcast
whenever you want to. So,
00:18:14.92\00:18:17.96
yeah, I really like that.
00:18:17.96\00:18:19.19
>> I know it. And, you know,
they can listen to an anywhere
00:18:19.19\00:18:21.93
on a road trip before going
to bed on the way to school.
00:18:21.93\00:18:25.10
And that's it everywhere.
I mean, we've gotten some
00:18:25.10\00:18:28.17
incredible feedback of some
of the places using some of the
00:18:28.17\00:18:31.34
analytics that's available now
00:18:31.34\00:18:33.27
where people are listening
to and Indonesia and United Arab
00:18:33.27\00:18:36.64
Emirates. And, you know, I've
been on and just amazing plays.
00:18:36.64\00:18:40.95
I'm like, wow,
00:18:40.95\00:18:42.38
which to me is an inspiration
because you can do whatever you
00:18:42.38\00:18:44.95
want. And there's ways to
connect with people everywhere.
00:18:44.95\00:18:47.66
If you're just willing to
try an experiment, the creative
00:18:47.66\00:18:50.56
then get the word out there.
So many tools available now to
00:18:50.56\00:18:53.73
reach people on
anybody can do this.
00:18:53.73\00:18:55.70
>> And your world has changed
so much because the technology,
00:18:55.70\00:18:58.60
so because a podcast or, you
know, our Instagram or Facebook
00:18:58.60\00:19:02.64
or YouTube or this so many ways
that you can just live stream.
00:19:02.64\00:19:06.27
I mean, who even knew that you
can do that or you can connect
00:19:06.27\00:19:08.88
with people around the world.
So that is amazing. We have you
00:19:08.88\00:19:12.61
brought an audio
clip, you know, from
00:19:12.61\00:19:15.85
>> God's Great Earth, which
particular episode is this clip
00:19:15.85\00:19:18.65
from. So in this particular
episode, I'm going my potential
00:19:18.65\00:19:22.56
Matic to talk to Gideon.
00:19:22.56\00:19:24.76
>> And so I'm about to that
for the 2nd half of the show,
00:19:24.76\00:19:28.00
I because I do 2 segments with
the potential Matic. So in this
00:19:28.00\00:19:31.50
particular segment that I
brought is a going back to talk
00:19:31.50\00:19:35.00
to give you a little bit more.
00:19:35.00\00:19:36.24
>> All right. So we're going to
listen to that right now and go
00:19:36.24\00:19:38.51
back in the pretend nomadic.
I like to work and talk to get
00:19:38.51\00:19:43.28
in.
00:19:43.28\00:19:44.51
[MUSIC]
00:19:44.51\00:19:46.78
>> Okay. Let's get back to
the potential Matic and our talk
00:19:46.78\00:19:49.58
with Gideon. I'm
really confused about this
00:19:49.58\00:19:54.52
disappearing Army.
00:19:54.52\00:19:58.13
>> OK, get in. I'm really
confused. You're you're you're
00:19:58.13\00:20:00.93
telling me that a couple
of days ago you had 32,000
00:20:00.93\00:20:04.30
soldiers here. That's right.
00:20:04.30\00:20:06.77
And clearly there gun, please
to tell me what happened to
00:20:06.77\00:20:10.67
them
00:20:10.67\00:20:12.47
once the entire army was
assembled and what a huge honor
00:20:12.47\00:20:16.58
me it was. Yeah, wow. I mean,
right. 32,000 that that is a
00:20:16.58\00:20:20.78
huge army. I agree
00:20:20.78\00:20:23.65
when the army was assembled,
God talk to me. Oh, boy,
00:20:23.65\00:20:28.09
what what did he say this time?
He said the army was too big.
00:20:28.09\00:20:33.46
2 bigs. Yeah.
00:20:33.46\00:20:38.47
How can that be? I mean, don't
you want as many soldiers as
00:20:38.47\00:20:41.64
possible in order
to defeat the enemy?
00:20:41.64\00:20:44.44
That seems a gonna be the way
to win a battle. I would say.
00:20:44.44\00:20:48.34
All right. I agree. That is how
you win a bottle. If you don't
00:20:48.34\00:20:53.42
have God with you, I see
OK, well, what did he say?
00:20:53.42\00:20:59.49
He said if we go into
battle with so many. So, Josh,
00:20:59.49\00:21:03.96
the people of Israel are going
to think that the so just one
00:21:03.96\00:21:08.16
because they what I want to
flood, right. And that's not
00:21:08.16\00:21:12.60
the goal. No,
00:21:12.60\00:21:14.37
God wanted. The people of isn't
up to write on them to got so
00:21:14.37\00:21:19.11
got really wanted to make a
point yet. And what was that
00:21:19.11\00:21:22.94
that it was God would
deliver us from media.
00:21:22.94\00:21:27.55
>> That's powerful. It is a
love that. I'm always amazed
00:21:27.55\00:21:31.22
how he doesn't get confused
between the character. Haha.
00:21:31.22\00:21:34.66
>> All the different.
How do you know like? Oh no.
00:21:34.66\00:21:40.30
>> I'm doing this point.
No one doing this for us.
00:21:40.30\00:21:42.70
Those production secrets.
00:21:42.70\00:21:44.13
>> Haha.
00:21:44.13\00:21:47.84
>> It is kind of confusing.
Of course, you're trying to
00:21:47.84\00:21:49.67
figure out every time I
introduce a new character now,
00:21:49.67\00:21:51.87
for example, Gideon, and it's
not just one episode. So it'll
00:21:51.87\00:21:55.24
probably take that took me
because we're already finished
00:21:55.24\00:21:57.55
getting story. But it took I
think, 9, 9, different episodes
00:21:57.55\00:22:01.48
of this of God's green Earth
to to get his story fully out.
00:22:01.48\00:22:04.65
All right. So we keep
coming back and we get a little
00:22:04.65\00:22:06.89
farther along in this story and
literally when I'm writing and
00:22:06.89\00:22:09.46
I'm just got the Bible
right next to me. And we're just
00:22:09.46\00:22:11.76
going piece by piece
00:22:11.76\00:22:13.26
picking apart every single
little detail, the story so
00:22:13.26\00:22:15.56
that the kids don't miss a
single thing. And we're like I
00:22:15.56\00:22:17.87
said, hearing it straight from
it in himself for whoever the
00:22:17.87\00:22:21.20
bottom characters
that particular day.
00:22:21.20\00:22:23.84
>> That's really powerful.
Did so how it can people listen
00:22:23.84\00:22:27.54
to the podcast and I know
Most podcast, which is always
00:22:27.54\00:22:30.15
available on podcast platform.
00:22:30.15\00:22:32.05
>> Yes, so there's a every
podcast platform out there as
00:22:32.05\00:22:36.18
it is hosting itself so they
can go to whatever device they
00:22:36.18\00:22:39.49
want to use whatever
podcast platform they want.
00:22:39.49\00:22:42.09
There's also a handful of radio
stations little by little more
00:22:42.09\00:22:45.33
and more radio stations are
picking up the show and putting
00:22:45.33\00:22:47.66
on their network. So there's
a handful out there probably the
00:22:47.66\00:22:51.33
best way to to find the list
of networks we've listed on the
00:22:51.33\00:22:54.74
Web page. So because there are
several interactive elements.
00:22:54.74\00:22:58.74
So when I mentioned the
silly minute, so the minute is
00:22:58.74\00:23:01.14
basically were kids get
to cement their squeaky clean
00:23:01.14\00:23:04.41
jokes. And so, you know, I call
it the halftime of the episode
00:23:04.41\00:23:08.18
where we take a break and
we get to be silly. So the kids
00:23:08.18\00:23:11.92
are the ones literally sending
me the jokes and I share their
00:23:11.92\00:23:14.76
jokes. The brain teasers also
something that the kids sent to
00:23:14.76\00:23:18.66
me. So there's several
interactive elements where I'm
00:23:18.66\00:23:21.26
trying to get them to engage me.
00:23:21.26\00:23:23.30
And all that is accessible
through the website, which is
00:23:23.30\00:23:26.17
God's green Earth dot com,
which of course can be accessed
00:23:26.17\00:23:28.64
from.
00:23:28.64\00:23:30.21
>> Unless you've got cars
that not all evenings. Yeah.
00:23:30.21\00:23:33.64
>> So that's kind of the site
where you can go and check and
00:23:33.64\00:23:36.21
see the networks that are
picking it up and playing it.
00:23:36.21\00:23:38.65
And then, of course, there's
links to the podcast platforms
00:23:38.65\00:23:42.28
that are plant every
week. One upset how many podcast
00:23:42.28\00:23:46.15
again. So we've we've done.
22 episodes so far Klaus now.
00:23:46.15\00:23:51.53
Now we can all about 25
minutes longer. So yeah.
00:23:51.53\00:23:55.06
>> That's super exciting.
OK? Another question came in.
00:23:55.06\00:23:57.70
This came from Janice from
Canada. Have you ever visited
00:23:57.70\00:24:01.40
National Park and Rocky
Mountains in Alberta, Canada?
00:24:01.40\00:24:06.31
>> Oh, yeah. Loved it. And bam,
bam. And the rocky part of of
00:24:06.31\00:24:11.95
of in Canada. Absolutely
stunning and gorgeous. The some
00:24:11.95\00:24:15.98
can't meetings. There are no
bird a so I got to sneak out.
00:24:15.98\00:24:19.85
>> And see that. So they have
hot springs there, too. Yeah,
00:24:19.85\00:24:23.06
haha lot of Colorado today
at Colorado's Mountains and then
00:24:23.06\00:24:27.83
the other half
planes and numbers.
00:24:27.83\00:24:29.73
>> Almost the same. And so,
you know, a lot of the plane,
00:24:29.73\00:24:32.27
the cow is the whole
thing. And and then the amazing
00:24:32.27\00:24:35.24
mountain ranges.
Yeah. So a lot of tennis.
00:24:35.24\00:24:38.47
>> Wonderful. Highlight the
mountains myself. So if I could
00:24:38.47\00:24:42.11
stay in the mountains, I'd
be happy there, too. Who are
00:24:42.11\00:24:45.25
saying they are all it reminds
me how Jesus would often go to
00:24:45.25\00:24:49.98
h*** tops and pray. And so
00:24:49.98\00:24:52.49
I think that in my husband
always talks about how the sky
00:24:52.49\00:24:56.02
seems blue or when you're
up high. And so I don't know
00:24:56.02\00:24:59.13
there's something about the
mountains in the fresh air out
00:24:59.13\00:25:01.46
there that it was beautiful.
00:25:01.46\00:25:03.40
>> They are absolutely. I think
just time in nature's healing
00:25:03.40\00:25:07.00
and rejuvenating and draws us
closer to God and reminds us of
00:25:07.00\00:25:11.27
God's yes, that's powerful.
Let's talk about speaking of
00:25:11.27\00:25:14.44
nature. This is going Middle
East. Let's talk about the Holy
00:25:14.44\00:25:17.88
Land, the Israel. You're going
to a holy land tours sometimes
00:25:17.88\00:25:22.62
about. Well, you know, as you.
00:25:22.62\00:25:24.85
>> Pretty observe. They do a
lot of traveling. And so a lot
00:25:24.85\00:25:27.52
of the kids are like
00:25:27.52\00:25:28.86
we love the adventures
that you go on. And then
00:25:28.86\00:25:32.19
every once in awhile I get
a parent, her kids are like,
00:25:32.19\00:25:35.53
can I go on the adventure
with Yahoo. Just jump into your
00:25:35.53\00:25:38.97
suitcase. Haha. So I've been
thinking for a long time like
00:25:38.97\00:25:42.44
how to how how could this
work, where kids could go on an
00:25:42.44\00:25:46.68
adventure with me. So came
up with video finally trying to
00:25:46.68\00:25:51.41
lead out on a tour.
00:25:51.41\00:25:53.15
And so the idea is
that I would design a tour
00:25:53.15\00:25:57.89
and it would be unique.
It would be catering towards
00:25:57.89\00:26:02.22
active families. So we're
trying to appeal to families
00:26:02.22\00:26:05.66
that want to go on an adventure
and the first place that I kind
00:26:05.66\00:26:08.30
of pick so trying to
do. This is the Holy Land
00:26:08.30\00:26:10.63
adventure. And the whole point
is because the idea of bringing
00:26:10.63\00:26:14.57
the Bible to life. Yeah.
So parents that want to you
00:26:14.57\00:26:17.84
know, they do make a very big
priority in teaching the Bible.
00:26:17.84\00:26:21.28
But what if we can also go
there and see the places and
00:26:21.28\00:26:24.68
see where Jesus walked and
be baptized in the Jordan River
00:26:24.68\00:26:27.52
where Jesus was baptized
and and do these adventures.
00:26:27.52\00:26:30.39
So no kids were going to
go swimming has kinds tunnel.
00:26:30.39\00:26:33.52
We can talk about the story and
then we're going to climb and
00:26:33.52\00:26:36.09
the walls of Jerusalem
and we're going to, you know,
00:26:36.09\00:26:38.19
do all these different things
to do. Climb out of that super
00:26:38.19\00:26:42.46
excited down in float in
the dead sea and see where the
00:26:42.46\00:26:44.97
scrolls were found. And, you
know, so you know what created
00:26:44.97\00:26:47.74
this tour active again and
is open for anybody. Anybody can
00:26:47.74\00:26:51.37
come, but we're really trying
to cater to active kids that
00:26:51.37\00:26:55.31
probably maybe won't do so well
going for 4 hours in a museum
00:26:55.31\00:26:59.28
are, you know, staring at a
theater for 3 years very now.
00:26:59.28\00:27:04.12
So it's a little faster pace,
a lot more exciting. You know,
00:27:04.12\00:27:08.32
every kid that comes along
would get a Happ so they can
00:27:08.32\00:27:11.73
have on the adventure and they
get their own journal to go on
00:27:11.73\00:27:14.36
the adventure.
00:27:14.36\00:27:15.53
And probably one of the other
exciting parts of of this tour
00:27:15.53\00:27:18.93
that we're planning, which, by
the way, is a next March 2024.
00:27:18.93\00:27:23.10
is to have some recordings
done, which would basically
00:27:23.10\00:27:28.28
give the kids the opportunity
to also not just be on the
00:27:28.28\00:27:31.11
event with the go on the
show. Yeah, which would be cool.
00:27:31.11\00:27:35.15
And, you know, we we hope that
this is something that you guys
00:27:35.15\00:27:39.02
will obviously also be
able to share with your viewers.
00:27:39.02\00:27:41.52
Have the kids be on the show?
Be on the episode here. They
00:27:41.52\00:27:44.16
are visiting all these
amazing places in the Holy Land.
00:27:44.16\00:27:48.46
>> That's something that
I've always wanted to do it some
00:27:48.46\00:27:50.97
time go to to Silliman in visit
that because that does make it
00:27:50.97\00:27:55.77
I live because I've heard so
many people that have gone and
00:27:55.77\00:27:59.17
they say now I understand
why Jesus was talking about this
00:27:59.17\00:28:03.58
and it just makes it come alive
when you understand where you
00:28:03.58\00:28:07.08
know where Jesus was baptize,
maybe or how you reach the
00:28:07.08\00:28:12.45
people. So I that is something
on my I have to say bucket list
00:28:12.45\00:28:18.16
is I've never been to Israel.
So, yeah, that's something that
00:28:18.16\00:28:22.36
through that.
00:28:22.36\00:28:23.53
>> Special that you're doing.
It's it's very powerful to be
00:28:23.53\00:28:26.40
there. It is the exact
Weiss was only years. I was only
00:28:26.40\00:28:30.01
there once sorry in
2014. I guess it was. But
00:28:30.01\00:28:33.91
>> he's only once. But it was
amazing. And just when I came
00:28:33.91\00:28:37.48
back and open up, Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John and you
00:28:37.48\00:28:40.65
read it and it was like,
oh, yeah, that's what the Sea of
00:28:40.65\00:28:43.69
Galilee and the like. And
that's what the Jordan River so
00:28:43.69\00:28:46.96
I can this is I think the
party and was one of my favorite
00:28:46.96\00:28:49.69
place right away. But
that really spoke to me.
00:28:49.69\00:28:51.99
>> And imagine
capturing that all
00:28:51.99\00:28:55.20
giving to kids as well. Yeah,
00:28:55.20\00:28:57.27
so that kids can grow up having
been to the places that we
00:28:57.27\00:29:00.40
spend so much time learning
about and experience the same
00:29:00.40\00:29:03.30
places. Again, the the concept
is that does bring the Bible to
00:29:03.30\00:29:06.54
life and let them be able to
experience these places as if
00:29:06.54\00:29:10.28
they're not just
some distant Bible story.
00:29:10.28\00:29:12.85
I was there.
00:29:12.85\00:29:14.15
What was your
favorite place near?
00:29:14.15\00:29:17.05
I have real favorite. I had a
funny experience at the Wailing
00:29:17.05\00:29:21.26
Wall. So and then I also had
an of an interesting experience
00:29:21.26\00:29:25.13
because at the time that I went
because I've only been there
00:29:25.13\00:29:27.66
once I was spending a
summer in Jordan on a dig.
00:29:27.66\00:29:31.40
And so one of the weekend's
I was able to sneak over to
00:29:31.40\00:29:34.57
Israel and crossing the border
had a little adventure. You
00:29:34.57\00:29:38.34
know, it's in the book to feed.
Haha. So getting over was a bit
00:29:38.34\00:29:47.05
of an adventure into into
Jerusalem and up and Israel.
00:29:47.05\00:29:50.75
Yeah, I'm but a very impressive
to see these places firsthand
00:29:50.75\00:29:54.82
and in person.
00:29:54.82\00:29:56.02
>> And what
happened at the wailing Wall?
00:29:56.02\00:29:57.89
He said the willingly.
Yeah. So so when you go to the
00:29:57.89\00:30:01.36
wailing Wall to separate the
men in the separate the men and
00:30:01.36\00:30:03.93
the women, I met him. I wasn't
prepared for that like, oh,
00:30:03.93\00:30:06.27
wow, I can't go with Greinke.
Haha, right. And when we go
00:30:06.27\00:30:09.44
here tonight here,
yeah. But for the men.
00:30:09.44\00:30:13.71
>> You're also when you
approach to all you're required
00:30:13.71\00:30:15.91
to wear. Yeah, a little a
little. I forget what it's
00:30:15.91\00:30:19.15
called the little cap. And
but I I didn't have one. So they
00:30:19.15\00:30:23.42
have, but they had him there.
00:30:23.42\00:30:24.79
>> Well, paper ones.
Haha. And it was a windy day.
00:30:24.79\00:30:29.06
>> Haha.
00:30:29.06\00:30:32.26
>> So I was trying to be as
respectful and river unholy as
00:30:32.26\00:30:35.63
possible. So I put my
little hat on, but it flew off.
00:30:35.63\00:30:39.30
And so here's rich and one
of the most sacred holy places.
00:30:39.30\00:30:42.50
And here's me running after my
little had I'm a step on it so
00:30:42.50\00:30:48.01
that it wouldn't go farther.
So I just felt really awkward
00:30:48.01\00:30:52.11
because it is such a holy
setting and bears rich in the
00:30:52.11\00:30:54.55
background chasing a little
paper hat, trying to step on it
00:30:54.55\00:30:58.35
and step on. It keeps getting
away. I finally stepped on it.
00:30:58.35\00:31:01.46
He's like, oh, you know,
everybody's looking at the and
00:31:01.46\00:31:05.56
as you know,
Western or chasing his at.
00:31:05.56\00:31:09.20
>> See, again, all of
vision. And yeah, and we can all
00:31:09.20\00:31:12.43
identify because I'm thinking
of all these crazy things that
00:31:12.43\00:31:15.34
I've done in my husband can
tell many stories like that.
00:31:15.34\00:31:18.87
Just, you know, everybody's
like staring at you've really
00:31:18.87\00:31:22.11
done what, what?
00:31:22.11\00:31:24.01
>> And this is natural when you
travel around and you're in new
00:31:24.01\00:31:27.22
settings and of course, is
an important part of traveling.
00:31:27.22\00:31:29.85
You have to be adaptable and
flexible and ready for anything
00:31:29.85\00:31:34.39
because people think that
it's, you know, you thrive on
00:31:34.39\00:31:36.99
predictability and, you know,
the safety of knowing what's
00:31:36.99\00:31:39.49
coming, go out there. And it's
an event, you have to be ready
00:31:39.49\00:31:43.33
for anything and you have to
roll with it. A lot of people
00:31:43.33\00:31:46.37
just shut down if it's not
the way that they wanted or what
00:31:46.37\00:31:48.54
they expected. Unlike no
got embrace it and roll with it.
00:31:48.54\00:31:51.61
>> That's good. Fun and
creativity being willing to be
00:31:51.61\00:31:55.38
flexible. Turn it
into an event or yeah.
00:31:55.38\00:31:58.38
>> And with with kids, you
always have to be flexible.
00:31:58.38\00:32:01.15
You can be too structured
because you would sound them
00:32:01.15\00:32:04.95
out in a heartbeat. So yes.
00:32:04.95\00:32:07.86
>> So let's go to vet first
ever trailer that we're going
00:32:07.86\00:32:12.73
to launch tonight right
there. And by the way, to get us
00:32:12.73\00:32:15.56
going, sorry, I forgot to
mention, I think there's a
00:32:15.56\00:32:17.63
slide or at least the
lower 3rd, if I don't get put on
00:32:17.63\00:32:19.97
there already. So if people
are interested in coming on our
00:32:19.97\00:32:23.84
Holy Land inventor, there
is a place that they can go
00:32:23.84\00:32:26.91
and in some information where
they can get, there's a you can
00:32:26.91\00:32:30.11
text. I'm rich Israel to
a number that will be on the
00:32:30.11\00:32:33.98
screen there. And if they just
want to get some information,
00:32:33.98\00:32:37.29
techs that to there, and
they will just get some free
00:32:37.29\00:32:39.49
information back so that
they can get details and the Web
00:32:39.49\00:32:42.72
site and information,
registration foreman, anything
00:32:42.72\00:32:45.86
they they need to get. I
think we're even preparing here
00:32:45.86\00:32:48.16
pretty soon. I'm like a zoom
call so that a lot of questions
00:32:48.16\00:32:52.17
can be answered and plans of
what we're planning on doing.
00:32:52.17\00:32:56.04
So there is a limited amount of
of space as well in the torso.
00:32:56.04\00:33:00.54
And since it is, families were
hoping, you know, it's groups
00:33:00.54\00:33:03.08
of 4, 3, 7, and whatever
that will come. So if you're
00:33:03.08\00:33:07.12
interested in coming out and
joining us on this adventure,
00:33:07.12\00:33:09.22
please text rich Israel to
that number. He's at it again.
00:33:09.22\00:33:13.66
>> Absent, thank you so much
for bringing that out. We're
00:33:13.66\00:33:15.96
supposed to do some. Thank you.
I'm going to mention the number
00:33:15.96\00:33:19.29
here just because some people
might be listening on them
00:33:19.29\00:33:21.40
radio, OK? And they wouldn't
have seen that number. So you
00:33:21.40\00:33:24.60
can text rich Israel. That's
R I C h and then just the word
00:33:24.60\00:33:28.67
Israel. I as our a E L and
the number you text it to is 9,
00:33:28.67\00:33:33.07
1, 4, 8, 0, 4,
00:33:33.07\00:33:36.18
5, 6, 9, 9, That number
again is 9, 1, 4, 8, 0, 4, 5, 6,
00:33:36.18\00:33:43.72
9, 9, So you just text the word
rich Israel to that number and
00:33:43.72\00:33:48.26
the connect. You can also
get information on one mustard C
00:33:48.26\00:33:51.29
dot com.
00:33:51.29\00:33:52.39
>> I think I need to update
to that particular link. But
00:33:52.39\00:33:56.46
>> within hours, no, it's
not there that it's not there
00:33:56.46\00:33:59.57
tonight, but it will be soon.
So you can always get that.
00:33:59.57\00:34:02.34
They have to OK, perfect.
So now let's go. You've already
00:34:02.34\00:34:04.84
produced one movie. Is that
correct? Yes, tell us about the
00:34:04.84\00:34:07.34
first movie. And then we're
going to talk about the second,
00:34:07.34\00:34:09.34
the brand new one coming to you.
00:34:09.34\00:34:10.71
>> So about the I think is
about 5 years ago has produced
00:34:10.71\00:34:13.28
a movie called the mysterious
note and came out. It was a a
00:34:13.28\00:34:18.05
challenging project is I
never produced a movie before.
00:34:18.05\00:34:20.99
And I was also the screenwriter
and the director. So, you know,
00:34:20.99\00:34:25.79
we have to kind of where a lot
of hats and figure things out.
00:34:25.79\00:34:29.53
I felt like this was an
important space to enter and to
00:34:29.53\00:34:34.37
have an offering
because, again, this concept of
00:34:34.37\00:34:36.27
storytelling
00:34:36.27\00:34:37.47
and our culture, there
is probably no more powerful
00:34:37.47\00:34:40.44
setting. Then a movie to
tell a story. Movies are wildly
00:34:40.44\00:34:44.61
popular. Think the statistic
I last heard was and just North
00:34:44.61\00:34:47.58
America alone. 1.6 billion
tickets sold to go see a movie
00:34:47.58\00:34:51.82
while people paying to go
see a movie. They want the story
00:34:51.82\00:34:55.72
and I thought, wow, why can't
the church used this the space
00:34:55.72\00:34:59.96
more to tell stories that give
God glory and give got honor
00:34:59.96\00:35:04.37
and help people build
their faith and especially in my
00:35:04.37\00:35:08.20
particular case because of my
passion for for ministering to
00:35:08.20\00:35:11.37
kids, it would be stories
that are family friendly. Yeah,
00:35:11.37\00:35:15.78
because even in the
Christian film World, it is
00:35:15.78\00:35:18.88
the challenging it in most.
If not all of the Christian
00:35:18.88\00:35:22.52
films being made today are
really geared towards an adult
00:35:22.52\00:35:25.82
or at best a youth viewer.
And a lot of them are probably
00:35:25.82\00:35:29.76
acceptable enough for
kids to watch, but they're not
00:35:29.76\00:35:31.86
targeting kids by any means.
And a lot of the topics are
00:35:31.86\00:35:34.73
really heavy, very dramatic
and people dying and people in a
00:35:34.73\00:35:38.00
suicide and this now, whatever
I'm like, this is not family
00:35:38.00\00:35:40.44
friendly. I guess they
can watch it, but it's not for
00:35:40.44\00:35:43.30
kids.
00:35:43.30\00:35:44.47
So my idea was to serve that
particular niche when Christian
00:35:44.47\00:35:49.34
stories that could target kids
and family. I grew up in the
00:35:49.34\00:35:53.08
70's when Disney used to
make different kind of movies,
00:35:53.08\00:35:56.18
right, that we're more fun
and slapstick and a lot more
00:35:56.18\00:35:59.25
innocent. And so I was trying
to grow. They've changed a lot.
00:35:59.25\00:36:02.92
So I was trying to figure out
how do we capture? That's fun,
00:36:02.92\00:36:06.36
silly adventure, but with
a distinct clear, spiritual
00:36:06.36\00:36:09.73
point. So that's kind of
what we're trying to do with the
00:36:09.73\00:36:11.83
mysterious note. And
00:36:11.83\00:36:14.17
we're happy how it turned
out. It won some awards. And so
00:36:14.17\00:36:17.37
we're super happy with
what we learned from there.
00:36:17.37\00:36:20.38
And then, of course, the big
question was, are you going to
00:36:20.38\00:36:23.31
do another Yahoo?
00:36:23.31\00:36:25.91
>> That's always a question of
people like it. When they find
00:36:25.91\00:36:28.15
something they connect with one
thing I like, is there another
00:36:28.15\00:36:30.89
one coming?
00:36:30.89\00:36:32.25
>> Yeah. And so
that was a question that
00:36:32.25\00:36:33.69
went unanswered for
several years because
00:36:33.69\00:36:37.53
for me, I I took a massive leap
of faith and it ended up being
00:36:37.53\00:36:41.93
a giant volunteer job to create
this because, you know, it
00:36:41.93\00:36:46.07
never, you know, financially
speaking pays itself off its
00:36:46.07\00:36:50.27
very complicated to do that.
So since I'm a a for-profit,
00:36:50.27\00:36:54.91
technically, I'm trying to
figure out, OK, I want to do
00:36:54.91\00:36:57.21
these things that give gun
glory, but I need to find a
00:36:57.21\00:36:59.65
financial mechanism to do it.
00:36:59.65\00:37:02.52
So even though the mysterious
note was was a a great project
00:37:02.52\00:37:06.55
and everything it it was not
able to fulfill that part of of
00:37:06.55\00:37:09.49
the things. So and I have
no regrets. I'm not complaining
00:37:09.49\00:37:13.03
that I had to work for 2 years
for free, but I was happy to
00:37:13.03\00:37:17.37
show what could be done.
And that was probably more
00:37:17.37\00:37:20.34
important to me than anything
is to see. Hey, can we use the
00:37:20.34\00:37:23.51
movie platform to teach
kids to engage kids to bring up
00:37:23.51\00:37:27.14
conversations and topics
that parents and kids can then
00:37:27.14\00:37:29.41
afterwards they were talking
about or what he said? That's
00:37:29.41\00:37:32.61
what do you think? So the idea
of wanting to do another movie
00:37:32.61\00:37:37.19
was there immediately. But how
to create a mechanism to make
00:37:37.19\00:37:40.96
it feasible was what
took me years to wrestle with
00:37:40.96\00:37:45.19
until about a year and a half
ago. When I go through lots of
00:37:45.19\00:37:48.93
prayer for these last 5 years,
I had an idea of a way to try
00:37:48.93\00:37:53.00
to to do a second project
and that so adventure that I've
00:37:53.00\00:37:57.11
been on here for the last 18
months beginning of last year
00:37:57.11\00:38:00.81
to 22, I started
writing another movie
00:38:00.81\00:38:04.21
and then we shot it in the
middle of last year. And then
00:38:04.21\00:38:08.05
in the fall, I started
post-production on it and
00:38:08.05\00:38:10.92
editing. And we're just about
done editing. We're about to
00:38:10.92\00:38:14.89
create our rough cut and
send it off to the composer. So
00:38:14.89\00:38:17.89
we're getting really close
to the end music score, the
00:38:17.89\00:38:20.36
musical skorea. And so we're
getting really close to the end
00:38:20.36\00:38:23.23
with the hopes of releasing
it here in the fall. Again,
00:38:23.23\00:38:26.97
a leap of faith, a huge leap of
faith. Now, speaking of the of
00:38:26.97\00:38:31.21
the model that we're trying to
do and who are trying to serve.
00:38:31.21\00:38:33.91
The interesting thing about
this movie is that we really
00:38:33.91\00:38:36.14
wanted to target
00:38:36.14\00:38:37.51
Pathfinders and adventures
because I decided first of all
00:38:37.51\00:38:42.72
to feature them in the movie
pay. So they have a distinctive
00:38:42.72\00:38:46.86
appearance in the movie.
And the second thing that's
00:38:46.86\00:38:49.59
really a interesting
about the movie is that it
00:38:49.59\00:38:52.76
teaches the honor
00:38:52.76\00:38:54.50
for dinosaurs.
00:38:54.50\00:38:55.80
>> It has a really both clubs.
We rode into the screenplay.
00:38:55.80\00:39:01.20
All the requirements are Taha.
00:39:01.20\00:39:04.24
>> Haha.
00:39:04.24\00:39:07.81
>> Honor or yeah. That's
exactly. It is so for clubs.
00:39:07.81\00:39:11.68
Very handy because they can
literally have a movie night
00:39:11.68\00:39:15.12
and get him on it and watch
a movie and get an honor and
00:39:15.12\00:39:18.65
understand and have fun.
Engage with the story. Bring a
00:39:18.65\00:39:21.92
friend. Use it as an
evangelistic tool. Wow. The
00:39:21.92\00:39:24.89
other thing that we're excited
about, especially in this lead
00:39:24.89\00:39:28.46
up to the camper in Gillette is
that if we can release on time,
00:39:28.46\00:39:32.80
which is our plan to release
here in September, is that the
00:39:32.80\00:39:35.54
movie would be able to
license it for fundraising.
00:39:35.54\00:39:39.97
And that's another big thing
that we wanted to help the club
00:39:39.97\00:39:42.34
to do because coming into this
year, fundraising for our club
00:39:42.34\00:39:45.51
is huge. And I just I'm a
massive fan of clubs, always
00:39:45.51\00:39:48.95
trying to figure out how to
help them with love going to
00:39:48.95\00:39:50.69
camp reason speaking.
00:39:50.69\00:39:52.39
But how could I
help them with this movie
00:39:52.39\00:39:55.06
to raise funds? So that's why
I came up with this idea. Okay.
00:39:55.06\00:39:57.96
The honor is built in the movie
can be used for fundraising.
00:39:57.96\00:40:02.76
Could be used for vandalism.
Schools can use it move.
00:40:02.76\00:40:06.27
Churches can use it for a movie
night because that's another
00:40:06.27\00:40:08.44
thing that I get a lot of from
pastors are like. We want to
00:40:08.44\00:40:11.24
have a movie night, but there's
nothing to watch. We're not
00:40:11.24\00:40:14.41
going tell us we're not going
to show that this Christian
00:40:14.41\00:40:16.58
movie is not family friendly.
So I wasn't like I could help
00:40:16.58\00:40:20.22
them with that
too. And create a movie
00:40:20.22\00:40:22.62
that would be family friendly
church, appropriate, squeaky,
00:40:22.62\00:40:25.95
clean fun and adventurous
with a very clear and distinct
00:40:25.95\00:40:28.92
message, a spiritual message.
So those are all the things
00:40:28.92\00:40:31.96
that we're trying to do
with the movie. And, of course,
00:40:31.96\00:40:34.56
the financial
model that will hopefully
00:40:34.56\00:40:37.37
help us to to keep this
sustainable is the licensing
00:40:37.37\00:40:40.94
fee. So again, to clubs and
paid a little licensing fee,
00:40:40.94\00:40:44.87
you can sell tickets. You
can sell burritos and pizza.
00:40:44.87\00:40:48.11
You can do whatever you want.
That's all years. I'm I'm just
00:40:48.11\00:40:52.01
trying to help pay for the
movie with a little like recoup
00:40:52.01\00:40:54.65
the cost of the licensing
fee and then whatever you can
00:40:54.65\00:40:57.49
fundraise because usually
when you have a movie, if you
00:40:57.49\00:40:59.92
license a normal movie, they're
taking a percentage of your
00:40:59.92\00:41:03.69
anything concessions. You know,
whatever show I'm like, no,
00:41:03.69\00:41:06.70
I want to support the
club's. You just help us
00:41:06.70\00:41:09.43
do a little bit to help us
pay this thing off. And then
00:41:09.43\00:41:12.27
whatever you guys can use
to fundraise, whether it's a
00:41:12.27\00:41:14.27
school clubs, churches.
00:41:14.27\00:41:16.40
>> You know, groups, you
know, knock yourself out and
00:41:16.40\00:41:19.51
hopefully can be a blessing
for anybody watching. So these
00:41:19.51\00:41:21.64
Pathfinder leaders can use that
financing for it to help fund
00:41:21.64\00:41:25.58
the trip to the Camper E for.
Yeah, you know, my goal would
00:41:25.58\00:41:28.88
be to encourage
churches the same.
00:41:28.88\00:41:31.19
>> Support your path running
club by just paying for this.
00:41:31.19\00:41:33.15
The licensing fee and no go
to town, inviting people selling
00:41:33.15\00:41:37.13
tickets. We're making very
toes making brownies, you know,
00:41:37.13\00:41:39.89
whatever they want. Just follow
on Yahoo as big as you can.
00:41:39.89\00:41:43.73
And so as much as you can,
we did a little bit of that when
00:41:43.73\00:41:46.20
we the mysterious note,
but only for just a couple of
00:41:46.20\00:41:49.90
months. But we've got
some great feedback from clubs
00:41:49.90\00:41:52.41
there. Ali, thank you so
much for that. We raise $2000.
00:41:52.41\00:41:55.28
Why her movie night? So
again, the great opportunity for
00:41:55.28\00:41:59.95
clubs, churches, schools
anywhere in the world because
00:41:59.95\00:42:03.35
the movie will be available
on our site and then you get
00:42:03.35\00:42:06.02
access to right there and
00:42:06.02\00:42:07.59
plan a movie night will provide
the posters and everything they
00:42:07.59\00:42:09.96
need to promote it. The
trailers, you know, everything
00:42:09.96\00:42:12.89
that they need to ramp up
and get ready to to have a
00:42:12.89\00:42:15.90
screening of their movie.
00:42:15.90\00:42:17.27
>> Speaking of the trailer,
we've got the trailer here
00:42:17.27\00:42:19.13
tonight. This is the first time
this is it for Eyler has ever
00:42:19.13\00:42:23.91
been played. That's right.
We're premiering the trailer
00:42:23.91\00:42:26.98

00:43:41.78\00:43:43.22
>> Alex, for exciting secret
of the fossil. You saw it here
00:43:43.22\00:43:48.36
first on 3, A B and it's the
day live. This was the trailer.
00:43:48.36\00:43:53.33
That's exciting. Yeah, it's
going to launch. She said in.
00:43:53.33\00:43:56.77
>> I'm hoping that Amber One,
if we can get everything all
00:43:56.77\00:44:00.24
lined up and wrapped up in time.
00:44:00.24\00:44:01.77
>> Okay. That was exciting.
And people who go to one
00:44:01.77\00:44:04.17
mustard seed dot com
to get information yet.
00:44:04.17\00:44:06.71
>> And of course, we're hoping
to get the information out
00:44:06.71\00:44:08.58
directly to the clubs. I'm
already starting to reach out a
00:44:08.58\00:44:11.28
lot of the youth
directors and leaders directly
00:44:11.28\00:44:14.92
because because of our our
dinosaur tour, already a lot of
00:44:14.92\00:44:18.55
these contacts already. So
we're getting them excited and
00:44:18.55\00:44:20.72
let the club's know what the
schools now, let everybody know
00:44:20.72\00:44:23.63
that this will be a resource
that they'll have access to
00:44:23.63\00:44:26.13
hopefully here in
the fall. How long is it?
00:44:26.13\00:44:28.83
It's looking to be about 75
minutes. So we didn't know the
00:44:28.83\00:44:33.57
good life because it is
a kids movie and I resist.
00:44:33.57\00:44:37.14
>> During a two-hour movie,
absolute kids. It's a little
00:44:37.14\00:44:39.57
too long adult. Yeah, that's
cool. But for kids a little bit
00:44:39.57\00:44:42.48
shorter. I would think adults
a lot of times are going to 90
00:44:42.48\00:44:44.81
minutes. You know, it's yeah
and shorter than it used to be.
00:44:44.81\00:44:47.38
>> Yeah. I don't think I can do
more than 90 South Lake Tahoe.
00:44:47.38\00:44:52.85
>> That is exciting to all
of this is available at one
00:44:52.85\00:44:55.62
Mustard C dot com, whether it's
the dinosaur encounter, whether
00:44:55.62\00:44:59.56
it's the brand new movie.
That's 2 to be released this
00:44:59.56\00:45:02.16
fall, whether it's the Sabbath
school lessons, whether any of
00:45:02.16\00:45:06.37
the stuff that we've talked
about here tonight, the books,
00:45:06.37\00:45:09.17
all of that is available at
one mustard seed dot com. Let's
00:45:09.17\00:45:15.24
shift gears just a little bit.
Talk to us about ways that we
00:45:15.24\00:45:19.41
can partner with your ministry.
And we've been talking all
00:45:19.41\00:45:22.38
evening about that. But some
maybe initiatives to looking
00:45:22.38\00:45:28.12
forward to some dreams for
the future, some goals. What are
00:45:28.12\00:45:32.16
some areas
you'd like to explore?
00:45:32.16\00:45:34.20
>> Yeah. So a couple different
areas. I'd say, you know,
00:45:34.20\00:45:38.27
since we just talked about
the movie, one of our the goals
00:45:38.27\00:45:41.57
would be to produce a new
movie. Let's say every year and
00:45:41.57\00:45:43.97
a half or 2 as ambitious.
Yeah, it's a it's a big
00:45:43.97\00:45:47.68
project, but it's totally
doable. If I can rains, the
00:45:47.68\00:45:51.95
talent arranged the financing,
arranged the whole thing.
00:45:51.95\00:45:54.55
The mechanism has to work
so that it sustains itself.
00:45:54.55\00:45:58.19
So that would be one of the
things that we would love to
00:45:58.19\00:46:00.36
try to tackle. And the
long-range goal, if if if we
00:46:00.36\00:46:04.29
can just imagine this is
let's say 10 years from now,
00:46:04.29\00:46:07.76
here's our website and here are
00:46:07.76\00:46:11.13
10 distinctly have been
as movies, one with a family
00:46:11.13\00:46:14.54
friendly audiences that anybody
at any time can have access to
00:46:14.54\00:46:18.87
indefinitely. So, you know,
there's a church somewhere.
00:46:18.87\00:46:22.34
Hey, we haven't seen this.
You know, we saw this with our
00:46:22.34\00:46:25.21
pathfinders 8 years ago.
Let's let's watch this again.
00:46:25.21\00:46:28.05
And they can always know
that there are the selection of
00:46:28.05\00:46:30.62
movies available that they
could have access to. So if we
00:46:30.62\00:46:34.16
can build up a library to
that point, but that would mean
00:46:34.16\00:46:37.19
we're producing one
every couple years or whatever.
00:46:37.19\00:46:40.26
So that would be a challenge
there to see if that can.
00:46:40.26\00:46:44.40
>> Play out. That what I like
about that is that I've heard a
00:46:44.40\00:46:47.64
lot of young
people that contact me and
00:46:47.64\00:46:51.67
they want to witness to their
non Adventist friends and they
00:46:51.67\00:46:56.85
try to find something
that's fun and not to religious
00:46:56.85\00:47:00.45
because they feel a little more
embarrassed about bringing them
00:47:00.45\00:47:02.75
to stab a school or, you know,
church. But some fun activity
00:47:02.75\00:47:06.55
like this. It will get
them talking about the Bible.
00:47:06.55\00:47:10.79
>> A little bat without feeling
like down going to church.
00:47:10.79\00:47:13.73
And so we're going to do that.
Is it just kind of get their
00:47:13.73\00:47:15.93
feet wet? Start slow. Sometimes
we just think the first time
00:47:15.93\00:47:19.47
has to be to bring the church
doesn't have to be, you know,
00:47:19.47\00:47:22.34
and especially for teenagers
that that can be intimidating.
00:47:22.34\00:47:25.54
So this opens the door to
him. So that's one of the things
00:47:25.54\00:47:28.74
we'd like to do. Love we
have for a couple years now been
00:47:28.74\00:47:32.61
talking about doing a season
2 of the creation case. So that
00:47:32.61\00:47:36.75
would be excited by far been.
00:47:36.75\00:47:38.79
>> The most of them watched
and exciting series that that we
00:47:38.79\00:47:42.59
produced a
00:47:42.59\00:47:44.66
almost immediately after
I finished the first season.
00:47:44.66\00:47:46.90
I already had ideas for
how to do a second season.
00:47:46.90\00:47:51.57
That's a huge project. Yeah.
How long the the first season
00:47:51.57\00:47:54.97
take? It took us 2 years.
I believe that in just the
00:47:54.97\00:47:58.47
filming alone, we went 40,000,
no, 40 days, 10,000 Miles.
00:47:58.47\00:48:04.55
Why it was very intense, shoot
the editing. And it was just,
00:48:04.55\00:48:10.12
you know, I had to
write 600 pages of script
00:48:10.12\00:48:13.15
and then the, you
know, 6 months of research.
00:48:13.15\00:48:16.76
So it was a it was a sidewall
project. But I've gotten so
00:48:16.76\00:48:20.50
many people from all over the
world that say this is change
00:48:20.50\00:48:24.43
our lives, to be able to
have this show that helps us
00:48:24.43\00:48:26.94
understand the stopping of
creation and evolution in such
00:48:26.94\00:48:29.80
a fun way that adults and kids
can have fun to watch and learn
00:48:29.80\00:48:33.84
and grow and have fun while
they're watching my nephews
00:48:33.84\00:48:36.18
love it and they love you.
So that's been the kind of a
00:48:36.18\00:48:40.18
dream to to do a season 2.
But again, a pretty sizable
00:48:40.18\00:48:44.59
financial challenge
looms because unfortunately,
00:48:44.59\00:48:50.13
you do need the money in
advance to produce something.
00:48:50.13\00:48:53.29
There's a Linda Tripp. I mean,
just the trip alone. I mean,
00:48:53.29\00:48:57.07
that's why you've got to tackle
projects that you can kind of
00:48:57.07\00:48:59.20
handle or you can swing.
But this would be a large
00:48:59.20\00:49:02.00
project. Yeah, which no
way bigger than doing a movie,
00:49:02.00\00:49:05.41
for example, which a lot
of people think movie state,
00:49:05.41\00:49:07.21
millions of dollars like
not to have to write. You can be
00:49:07.21\00:49:09.61
creative and do it on a
shoestring budget and bootstrap
00:49:09.61\00:49:12.65
it but a series like the
creation case. I mean, that was
00:49:12.65\00:49:16.48
let's pay down that the content
is 10 times more than a movie
00:49:16.48\00:49:20.96
out of filming the thousands
of hours that you have to shoot.
00:49:20.96\00:49:23.89
And I mean, it was just
a massive undertaking, but
00:49:23.89\00:49:27.86
huge blessing is where they can
tell a ball a lot of the work
00:49:27.86\00:49:30.63
that we've done. That's been
probably the standout. Yeah,
00:49:30.63\00:49:33.57
a resource that we produce.
I think you're right with the
00:49:33.57\00:49:36.00
research to that's.
00:49:36.00\00:49:37.57
>> That makes it relevant.
And it's and it's hard because
00:49:37.57\00:49:40.51
it has take a lot of time to
do all that researchers to study
00:49:40.51\00:49:44.38
the to build that content.
00:49:44.38\00:49:46.28
>> And that's the problem with
a lot of times the topics of
00:49:46.28\00:49:49.92
creation are not addressed
early enough. Yes, because I
00:49:49.92\00:49:54.19
don't know how how to bring it
up. They don't know how to tee
00:49:54.19\00:49:56.16
time was too complicated.
Stew scientific. It's too deep.
00:49:56.16\00:49:59.13
How do we get our kids to
understand that? So that's why
00:49:59.13\00:50:01.56
specifically picked on that
line. We got we can we can not
00:50:01.56\00:50:05.33
do this. So we've got to figure
out how to do that. And that's
00:50:05.33\00:50:07.64
where the whole point of
the creation case came out, too.
00:50:07.64\00:50:10.84
Figure out how to
get our our young people,
00:50:10.84\00:50:14.54
you know, early on and yet
grounded on these topics of
00:50:14.54\00:50:17.78
these discussions of each
episode, you know, talk about
00:50:17.78\00:50:19.88
different things and OK, nose
and botany and dinosaurs and
00:50:19.88\00:50:23.28
fossils and, you know,
all these these things.
00:50:23.28\00:50:27.22
But
00:50:27.22\00:50:28.49
during his
second season would be.
00:50:28.49\00:50:30.33
>> That is one town that salute
lease Florida's putting on your
00:50:30.33\00:50:33.43
heart tonight to support one
a mustard seed and rich angular.
00:50:33.43\00:50:38.07
We just encourage you to go to
the website right now. One must
00:50:38.07\00:50:41.17
NC Dot com or just pray about
it and say, Lord, what do you
00:50:41.17\00:50:44.11
want me to do? Is there
anything that I can do to help
00:50:44.11\00:50:46.78
support the work and bring
that message of creation and
00:50:46.78\00:50:51.41
adventure and wible stories and
nature in all of that to young
00:50:51.41\00:50:56.55
people around the world.
You can get in contact with
00:50:56.55\00:50:59.62
rich and you can support that
through one mustard seed dot
00:50:59.62\00:51:02.66
com or coming down to the
end of the program almost done
00:51:02.66\00:51:05.39
here. Let's shift gears a
little bit. And I just want to
00:51:05.39\00:51:09.06
talk to those young people.
00:51:09.06\00:51:12.50
Can you look in the camera
there and talk to someone maybe
00:51:12.50\00:51:15.40
whose
00:51:15.40\00:51:16.57
struggling in their fate may
be struggling without maybe not
00:51:16.57\00:51:20.71
really sure. They want to walk
with God or what they want to
00:51:20.71\00:51:24.01
do with her life.
Always you tell them?
00:51:24.01\00:51:26.01
>> Yeah, you know, it's
not wrong to have feelings of
00:51:26.01\00:51:30.22
doubts. It is just kind of
a normal thing that everybody
00:51:30.22\00:51:33.09
goes through in their
life. There's a moment where
00:51:33.09\00:51:36.59
look inside and you're trying
to figure out who you are.
00:51:36.59\00:51:38.99
You're trying to identify
where you fit in the world. And
00:51:38.99\00:51:42.56
you know, the worst thing you
want to do is feel like you're
00:51:42.56\00:51:45.23
an outsider. You're last.
You're not included. You don't
00:51:45.23\00:51:48.10
know what you're doing. You
don't know where you're going.
00:51:48.10\00:51:50.71
Like I said it is okay to have
those feelings. But it is also
00:51:50.71\00:51:54.31
important to understand
that God has a purpose for him.
00:51:54.31\00:51:57.25
God has a point for your life.
You're not just some aimless,
00:51:57.25\00:52:01.85
you know, chemicals floating
around because that's what the
00:52:01.85\00:52:04.55
enemy wants. You to believe
that you're a worthless pile of
00:52:04.55\00:52:07.59
chemicals. I've seen
experiments where they add up
00:52:07.59\00:52:10.56
the amount of chemicals that
you're worth and it's $7 worth
00:52:10.56\00:52:13.66
of chemical is
what makes up the human.
00:52:13.66\00:52:16.97
And that's the enemy trying
to knock us down to defeat us.
00:52:16.97\00:52:21.60
I would not like to encourage
you to dig deep and explore an
00:52:21.60\00:52:25.11
Ascot hard questions but listen
and trust and hear what he
00:52:25.11\00:52:29.44
might have to say for you
and offer yourself to be open,
00:52:29.44\00:52:33.42
be willing to experiment,
be willing to to try something
00:52:33.42\00:52:36.48
new, be willing to listen
where maybe you haven't listened
00:52:36.48\00:52:39.25
before.
00:52:39.25\00:52:40.46
And of course, wait for God to
speak. And sometimes, you know,
00:52:40.46\00:52:43.66
we we expect some big giant
booming voice, but sometimes is
00:52:43.66\00:52:47.40
not going to come like that.
It will be a soft, quiet voice
00:52:47.40\00:52:50.17
or maybe somebody else
which bring a message to you on
00:52:50.17\00:52:53.27
behalf of the messenger, but
keeping our ears open and being
00:52:53.27\00:52:56.40
willing and available to
listen here. And you know what,
00:52:56.40\00:53:00.08
he may even have a calling for
you. He may have something that
00:53:00.08\00:53:02.74
he needed to do, someone that
you need to talk to as well.
00:53:02.74\00:53:05.91
And sometimes by you sharing
what you believe with others
00:53:05.91\00:53:09.55
makes the difference because
when you can articulate what
00:53:09.55\00:53:12.45
you believe
00:53:12.45\00:53:13.59
to somebody else that doesn't,
that is also an act of faith
00:53:13.59\00:53:17.29
building and trusting
God with what you believe.
00:53:17.29\00:53:20.10
>> And that's powerful.
What would you say, Francine,
00:53:20.10\00:53:22.73
if you're just I'm just
saying what? I almost want to
00:53:22.73\00:53:25.47
piggyback off of that because
00:53:25.47\00:53:27.87
seek and ye shall find. When we
really search for a guy with a
00:53:27.87\00:53:31.61
whole heart,
00:53:31.61\00:53:33.38
he will not leave you deserted.
He wants to tell you the plans
00:53:33.38\00:53:38.11
that he has for you. And
we know that I'm based in
00:53:38.11\00:53:41.82
Jeremiah. 29 to 11 to 13 unity
knows exactly what he wants you
00:53:41.82\00:53:47.09
to do. And it's just searching
for his word in tuning in.
00:53:47.09\00:53:51.06
And like you said, listening
to God's voice, because, again,
00:53:51.06\00:53:55.26
it's not going to be this audio
bull big thing. But when we
00:53:55.26\00:53:59.00
really search the scriptures and
00:53:59.00\00:54:01.57
want God's will because he
does have a purpose for you.
00:54:01.57\00:54:05.47
>> And then that's powerful
students want to encourage you
00:54:05.47\00:54:08.24
getting the word of God
and open up your heart to God,
00:54:08.24\00:54:11.45
no matter what age you
are. And if you're a parent,
00:54:11.45\00:54:14.12
encourage you to spend time
with your kids in nature and in
00:54:14.12\00:54:19.12
the word and teach them
and let them talk and ask those
00:54:19.12\00:54:22.06
questions, this is we're
going to shift to something more
00:54:22.06\00:54:26.13
light hearted for the very
end. This once and has had a
00:54:26.13\00:54:30.77
question came in. Have you ever
felt unsafe during a travel?
00:54:30.77\00:54:35.60
Did you ever feel unsafe?
00:54:35.60\00:54:36.81
>> On safe, like a orderly than
things like in a scary place.
00:54:36.81\00:54:42.04
You ever go to a place for
Erie, scared or you're like,
00:54:42.04\00:54:44.45
wow, this country's a little
stressful or you never feel
00:54:44.45\00:54:47.65
that.
00:54:47.65\00:54:49.05
>> I'd say probably one of
the more recent experiences I
00:54:49.05\00:54:52.19
recently went to Egypt again.
And I first of all, I love it.
00:54:52.19\00:54:57.96
I find the people
they're so nice. So friendly, so
00:54:57.96\00:55:01.06
hospitable.
00:55:01.06\00:55:02.26
But my family and I were
there and we're trying to find a
00:55:02.26\00:55:06.43
place to eat
00:55:06.43\00:55:07.57
something. And we just heard
the wondering and we went down
00:55:07.57\00:55:11.54
some pretty sketchy looking
back streets. And I don't I
00:55:11.54\00:55:16.28
wouldn't say we've got a loss,
but we have gone deep into the
00:55:16.28\00:55:19.25
areas of the city of
Cairo where there's no tourists.
00:55:19.25\00:55:23.92
>> Yeah,
Western, think about it.
00:55:23.92\00:55:30.06
>> And we felt so, you know,
out of ways. And, you know,
00:55:30.06\00:55:33.96
that was a little
scary. And but because our our
00:55:33.96\00:55:37.20
experience is a need to
have been so so good and safe so
00:55:37.20\00:55:39.53
far, I think we ever felt like
we were in trouble or anything
00:55:39.53\00:55:41.87
like that. But you definitely
become aware Li, Oh, this is
00:55:41.87\00:55:45.71
not quite where I
would normally be fitting in.
00:55:45.71\00:55:48.78
>> And so that's the one that
came to mind the absolutely.
00:55:48.78\00:55:51.38
I know Greg and I were just
driving recently in a city here
00:55:51.38\00:55:54.48
in the states and we went into
this one section and I thought.
00:55:54.48\00:55:58.29
>> Seriously, can we
get out of here quick?
00:55:58.29\00:56:02.46
>> That have been any places
that absolutely sure. What a
00:56:02.46\00:56:05.33
great evening unspent. Thank
you for coming wrestling for
00:56:05.33\00:56:08.60
your heart for young people
and your creativity and passion
00:56:08.60\00:56:13.80
for.
00:56:13.80\00:56:15.30
>> One must had seen, you know,
to take that into grow. It won
00:56:15.30\00:56:19.64
an incredible thing. So thank
you so much. So we're excited
00:56:19.64\00:56:22.48
to see what else to learn has
in mind for this ministry and
00:56:22.48\00:56:25.28
one other work we can
continue doing for him.
00:56:25.28\00:56:27.25
>> The man and we're delighted.
Francine, are we to partner
00:56:27.25\00:56:30.39

programming for kids very much,
00:56:30.39\00:56:33.42
though. I mean, just you

00:56:41.46\00:56:43.60
