Jason Bradley, was on
the set with the two chefs...
00:00:44.91\00:00:47.32

00:00:47.35\00:00:48.41
Hello and welcome to
00:00:48.44\00:00:50.18
Chew's 28-Day Challenge
00:00:50.21\00:00:51.89
my name is Jason
Bradley and I'm here today
00:00:51.92\00:00:54.22
with Chefs GW
Chew and Tim Lawson...
00:00:54.26\00:00:56.33
How are you
doing today brothers?
00:00:56.37\00:00:58.41
We're doing good man...
00:00:58.45\00:00:59.58
we're doing
great... how are you doing?
00:00:59.62\00:01:00.81
Good... I'm doing well...
00:01:00.85\00:01:01.92
I know our Viewers are anxiously
awaiting the "Chew's Challenge"
00:01:01.95\00:01:07.39
what is "Chew's Challenge"
00:01:07.43\00:01:09.97
what can our Viewers
expect from this Program?
00:01:10.00\00:01:12.70
Well, we actually
are doing the 28-Day
00:01:12.73\00:01:15.67
Wellness Lifestyle Challenge
00:01:15.71\00:01:17.56
Okay... So we have
a power-packed model
00:01:17.60\00:01:20.54
that we've created... a
process that we've created
00:01:20.57\00:01:23.06
to help individuals
just learn how to be healthy,
00:01:23.09\00:01:25.35
learn how to live
healthy, and also learn about
00:01:25.39\00:01:27.62
Christ as well as
being the foundation...
00:01:27.65\00:01:29.33
and so, it's a process
that we kind of developed
00:01:29.36\00:01:32.61
in this Chew's
Challenge Model...
00:01:32.65\00:01:34.45
Wow! that sounds amazing...
I'm excited about it...
00:01:34.49\00:01:38.17
so, let's look in a
little bit of your background...
00:01:38.20\00:01:41.84
Chef Chew, I'll start with you.
00:01:41.88\00:01:43.49
Well, I'm actually, right now,
00:01:43.53\00:01:45.07
I'm currently living
in Oakland, California...
00:01:45.11\00:01:46.89
Okay... I'm working right now...
00:01:46.93\00:01:48.52
I'm about to open
a Vegan Restaurant
00:01:48.56\00:01:49.66
in Oakland, California...
00:01:49.70\00:01:50.73
I actually serve
as a Pastor as well...
00:01:50.77\00:01:53.51
so, I've been
serving the Lord, in ministry
00:01:53.54\00:01:56.14
and I have a passion to
help people to eat better,
00:01:56.17\00:02:00.11
live better, and again...
00:02:00.14\00:02:01.58
learn about the
Lord Jesus Christ
00:02:01.62\00:02:03.29
just try to... just
get them on a new journey
00:02:03.33\00:02:06.02
so, that's what I do...
00:02:06.05\00:02:07.38
You're starting a
Vegan Restaurant...
00:02:07.42\00:02:11.07
A vegan restaurant...
about 15 minutes outside of
00:02:11.10\00:02:13.66
San Francisco, right in
downtown Oakland, California...
00:02:13.70\00:02:17.18
we're really excited...
00:02:17.22\00:02:19.07
That's kind of huge...
we have so many people today
00:02:19.10\00:02:22.29
worried about their
figure and how they look...
00:02:22.33\00:02:25.09
Exactly... and trying to...
00:02:25.12\00:02:26.22
especially in California...
especially in California...
00:02:26.25\00:02:28.52
Exactly... Right...
00:02:28.55\00:02:30.01
So, let's talk about
your background Chef Lawson...
00:02:30.04\00:02:32.56
Where are you from?
00:02:32.60\00:02:33.83
Well, I'm just a young man
00:02:33.87\00:02:35.66
that's trying to just take over
the world for Christ... so...
00:02:35.69\00:02:37.58
I live in
Sacramento, California too...
00:02:37.62\00:02:39.86
I'm working up an opening...
doing the restaurant work with
00:02:39.90\00:02:42.80
Chef Chew... we have
an Organization called
00:02:42.84\00:02:44.96
"Something Better Foods"
and also, I'm working down in
00:02:45.00\00:02:47.41
Sacramento with an
Organization called,
00:02:47.45\00:02:49.79
"Christ Frontline Operation"
so we're trying to evangelize
00:02:49.83\00:02:52.87
that area... so I'm
an Elder of the Church...
00:02:52.90\00:02:54.86
husband of one wife, and
father of three daughters...
00:02:54.89\00:02:57.85
Amen... all right... all right
00:02:57.89\00:02:59.78
husband of one wife...
that's how it's supposed to be.
00:02:59.81\00:03:02.12
I'm happy you made that decision
all right... now... now...
00:03:02.15\00:03:06.56
Oh boy! how is
this Program structured?
00:03:06.60\00:03:10.20
Well, we developed a concept,
we call it the FORK System...
00:03:10.24\00:03:14.08
Okay... and the FORK System
00:03:14.11\00:03:15.90
is pretty much an acronym...
the "F" stands for Faith,
00:03:15.94\00:03:19.17
the "O" stands for Organization,
the "R" stands for Recipes,
00:03:19.20\00:03:23.14
and the "K"
stands... you want to guess?
00:03:23.18\00:03:25.99
Knowledge... you got
it... there you go...
00:03:26.03\00:03:29.43
it stands for knowledge...
that's right... so...
00:03:29.47\00:03:31.69
it's pretty much
that's kind of the model
00:03:31.72\00:03:33.76
that we're going to be using...
in this whole Program...
00:03:33.79\00:03:36.67
we're going to start out
with a little "Faith Tip"
00:03:36.71\00:03:40.35
you know... we want
to go right from the Word
00:03:40.38\00:03:42.02
and learn... right from Christ
a little principle of the Bible
00:03:42.05\00:03:45.89
we're going to
go to "Organization"
00:03:45.92\00:03:47.72
and we're going to
have "Organizational Tips"
00:03:47.76\00:03:49.52
we going to be
talking about everything from
00:03:49.56\00:03:51.23
organizing your kitchen...
00:03:51.26\00:03:52.58
everything from
organizing your life
00:03:52.61\00:03:54.82
your personal life...
00:03:54.85\00:03:55.91
also, how to use
various kitchen tools...
00:03:55.95\00:03:58.59
in the kitchen... a lot of times
00:03:58.62\00:04:00.79
you don't know how to
use, let's say a Rice Cooker
00:04:00.83\00:04:03.72
or different tools needed
to be able to cook healthy,
00:04:03.75\00:04:06.48
cook vegan-type foods...
and so, then we're going to have
00:04:06.51\00:04:09.20
recipes... and that's
going to be really neat...
00:04:09.24\00:04:11.07
we're going to have
almost 28 different recipes
00:04:11.10\00:04:12.89
sorry, 28 times
2... what's that?
00:04:12.93\00:04:15.84
come on... 56... there we
go, there you go... exactly...
00:04:15.87\00:04:21.97
we got about 56 recipes...
00:04:22.01\00:04:23.91
during this whole
process as well...
00:04:23.94\00:04:25.76
at the very end... we kind
of cap it off with the knowledge
00:04:25.80\00:04:29.49
we ask three questions...
00:04:29.52\00:04:31.32
that kind of re-cap
what we've talked about...
00:04:31.36\00:04:33.90
in the entire
Program that we've done...
00:04:33.93\00:04:36.25
and so it's power-packed man...
it's intense, a lot of change,
00:04:36.28\00:04:40.08
a lot of variations so
it kind of keeps you just
00:04:40.11\00:04:42.03
glued to the
screen by God's grace...
00:04:42.07\00:04:43.61
yeah... yeah...
That's a phenomenal concept
00:04:43.65\00:04:46.35
because not only are you getting
great recipes... healthy recipes
00:04:46.38\00:04:51.02
Exactly... recipes
that are good for you
00:04:51.05\00:04:53.69
but it tastes good as well...
00:04:53.72\00:04:54.82
but you're also
learning how to be organized...
00:04:54.86\00:04:56.29
Exactly...
00:04:56.33\00:04:57.71
you're learning how to establish
00:04:57.75\00:04:59.89
a deeper faith... Exactly...
00:04:59.92\00:05:02.03
and you're
re-capping on everything
00:05:02.07\00:05:04.33
through the knowledge section...
00:05:04.37\00:05:07.25
How did you even
come up with that?
00:05:07.29\00:05:10.10
Well, Tim, do you
want to take this one?
00:05:10.14\00:05:11.96
We recognize that people's
lives are multi-faceted...
00:05:12.00\00:05:15.77
so we don't want to
just have a cooking show
00:05:15.81\00:05:17.34
where we just cook...
because that wouldn't reach
00:05:17.37\00:05:19.51
people at all
facets of their lives...
00:05:19.54\00:05:21.27
and Number Two... we
recognize that health
00:05:21.30\00:05:23.39
is really connected
with their spirituality...
00:05:23.42\00:05:25.48
Hmmm... and so we
didn't just want to
00:05:25.51\00:05:26.84
bring the people up physically,
00:05:26.88\00:05:27.98
we wanted to bring
them up spiritually...
00:05:28.01\00:05:30.03
and so we thought of a
Show that has different segments
00:05:30.06\00:05:32.25
where people can go on
a little 28-minute journey
00:05:32.29\00:05:35.52
with this... and
then a 28-day journey...
00:05:35.55\00:05:37.78
as it were... and so...
00:05:37.81\00:05:39.10
that's how we came
up with the concept
00:05:39.14\00:05:40.52
Exactly... and also, we
wanted to have something
00:05:40.56\00:05:42.45
that will be practical...
a lot of times you can learn
00:05:42.49\00:05:44.59
how to cook but you
might not know how to begin
00:05:44.62\00:05:46.46
or actually
implement that lifestyle...
00:05:46.50\00:05:48.63
we wanted to
give people all the...
00:05:48.66\00:05:50.72
the holistic tools...
00:05:50.76\00:05:52.79
that the individual would need
00:05:52.82\00:05:54.88
to be able to go on this
journey so again, the faith,
00:05:54.91\00:05:57.35
again... it gives
you the Bible tools...
00:05:57.39\00:05:58.97
if you follow me... so,
again, it's found in the Word
00:05:59.01\00:06:01.09
Organizational Tools...
again, we're going to go on to
00:06:01.13\00:06:03.35
the kitchen... show you
how to make a different station
00:06:03.38\00:06:05.56
in your
kitchen... a "Salad Station"
00:06:05.60\00:06:06.89
so, we're going to show you
how to make a "Grain Station"
00:06:06.92\00:06:09.03
we're going to
show you how to do a...
00:06:09.06\00:06:10.32
all your different sweeteners...
how to set up your whole kitchen
00:06:10.36\00:06:13.58
so it can be organized...
you know, so again...
00:06:13.61\00:06:15.62
the tools are practical...
00:06:15.65\00:06:16.81
things that you
can take with you
00:06:16.84\00:06:18.23
and use... right now...
starting when you learn it
00:06:18.26\00:06:20.59
and begin implementing it
immediately in your life...
00:06:20.62\00:06:22.92
and so... yeah...
We wanted you to...
00:06:22.95\00:06:25.31
if you didn't know
anything about how to live a
00:06:25.34\00:06:27.05
vegetarian or vegan lifestyle...
00:06:27.08\00:06:28.45
we wanted you to be
able to know nothing...
00:06:28.48\00:06:30.30
watch the show...
00:06:30.33\00:06:31.45
and then walk away with
knowing just about everything...
00:06:31.49\00:06:34.11
every tool that you need...
00:06:34.14\00:06:35.32
Exactly... exactly...
00:06:35.36\00:06:36.47
Wow! so again, physically
fed and spiritually fed...
00:06:36.51\00:06:38.98
You got it, that's it,
that's it It's a Combo...
00:06:39.01\00:06:40.88
You said something earlier
that kind of reminds me of
00:06:40.91\00:06:44.80
living a healthier lifestyle,
God has placed some laws...
00:06:44.84\00:06:49.22
in the Bible... the Commandments
00:06:49.25\00:06:51.18
not to be a burden to us...
but to help us live longer,
00:06:51.22\00:06:57.28
healthier, more
fruitful lives Exactly...
00:06:57.32\00:07:00.43
and I think...
that's one of the huge
00:07:00.46\00:07:03.50
or the biggest
things that I've learned...
00:07:03.54\00:07:05.60
is that... it's not
meant to be a burden on us...
00:07:05.63\00:07:08.67
but to keep us and protect
us... Exactly... exactly...
00:07:08.70\00:07:12.35
and that's so true...
you know God gives us the...
00:07:12.38\00:07:16.00
the Bible says in the
book of Deuteronomy...
00:07:16.03\00:07:17.49
that His
Commandments are for life...
00:07:17.52\00:07:20.47
so, the Commandments and
Laws, many times we look at God
00:07:20.50\00:07:23.30
like He's Godzilla... you know,
and if we don't do what God says
00:07:23.34\00:07:26.13
then we're going to get zapped,
He's going to come and bite us
00:07:26.16\00:07:28.92
or we kind of look at
this God as a "Zapping God"
00:07:28.96\00:07:31.46
rather than realizing
that what God has given us
00:07:31.50\00:07:33.93
is for our own benefit...
you know, again each Commandment
00:07:33.96\00:07:36.89
every law that God gives...
even Laws that He's given
00:07:36.93\00:07:39.42
that governs our bodies...
if we follow with His laws...
00:07:39.46\00:07:42.17
the body in essence...
reacts... in a healthy way...
00:07:42.21\00:07:44.89
if we work out... what happens?
00:07:44.93\00:07:46.67
We start looking,
getting a little buff,
00:07:46.71\00:07:48.79
you know what I'm saying...
we start getting fit...
00:07:48.83\00:07:50.86
and so, everything again...
the things that He's given us
00:07:50.90\00:07:52.90
the Laws of Life,
the Laws of His Word,
00:07:52.93\00:07:54.80
are only for our benefit...
that's the blessing...
00:07:54.83\00:07:57.73
There are real...
00:07:57.76\00:07:59.80
there are bad
things in the world...
00:07:59.84\00:08:01.70
there's real evil in the world,
00:08:01.74\00:08:03.29
there are real
diseases in the world,
00:08:03.32\00:08:05.62
so if God is
loving, and God is a father,
00:08:05.65\00:08:07.69
then, He's going
to want to protect us
00:08:07.73\00:08:09.40
from these things
and like you said,
00:08:09.44\00:08:11.04
"The Commandments are
that protective barrier"
00:08:11.08\00:08:13.44
the moral and the
physical elements...
00:08:13.47\00:08:15.64
Amen... Amen...
00:08:15.67\00:08:16.82
Now, have you done
this 28-day challenge before
00:08:16.86\00:08:19.77
have you done a
challenge similar to this or...
00:08:19.81\00:08:22.69
We actually have...
believe it or not...
00:08:22.72\00:08:25.38
I've actually
been having restaurants
00:08:25.42\00:08:28.02
for the last 7 or 8 years...
and then those experiences...
00:08:28.05\00:08:31.82
we have been able to run those
Programs in our restaurant...
00:08:31.86\00:08:35.59
I've been able to do
it in a personal level
00:08:35.63\00:08:37.52
to give you a success
story, there was a lady
00:08:37.55\00:08:39.72
who was actually...
who was on our Program...
00:08:39.76\00:08:42.12
she lived in D.C. and
she didn't know anything
00:08:42.16\00:08:44.51
about eating healthy...
she actually had a very
00:08:44.55\00:08:47.16
sedentary lifestyle...
she was really overweight...
00:08:47.19\00:08:49.77
she had a skin
disease called Eczema...
00:08:49.81\00:08:52.49
and believe it or
not... she was in our Program
00:08:52.53\00:08:54.63
a little longer than
28 days but pretty much
00:08:54.67\00:08:57.73
in about 40 days... she
lost almost 40 pounds...
00:08:57.77\00:09:00.66
it was amazing to see
the progress that she had...
00:09:00.70\00:09:03.65
her skin began clearing
up, I mean, she began to...
00:09:03.69\00:09:06.61
she was a Christian as well...
00:09:06.64\00:09:07.68
she was drawing
closer to the Lord...
00:09:07.72\00:09:09.06
and I ended up moving away...
so I didn't get to stay with her
00:09:09.09\00:09:13.12
longer than those 40 days...
but the Lord really, really made
00:09:13.15\00:09:17.06
tremendous impact in
her life... and so...
00:09:17.10\00:09:20.21
I mean, I have tons of success
stories that God has done
00:09:20.24\00:09:22.74
similar to that... but
it really does work, man...
00:09:22.77\00:09:24.29
it really does work...
00:09:24.33\00:09:25.73
So, you mean,
you can take a person
00:09:25.76\00:09:27.50
that eats a little
unhealthy maybe like steak...
00:09:27.53\00:09:32.59
maybe likes some chicken,
maybe likes some French fries,
00:09:32.63\00:09:35.21
some ice cream at midnight,
you know... something like that
00:09:35.24\00:09:38.03
and you can
transform that diet like that
00:09:38.06\00:09:42.53
and with good food? Yes...
00:09:42.57\00:09:43.85
yes, you'd better believe it...
I'll give you another story...
00:09:43.88\00:09:45.52
a lady... she was a doctor...
00:09:45.56\00:09:46.65
she was a doctor
and she was a lawyer...
00:09:46.68\00:09:49.42
it's pretty interesting...
she was a very educated woman
00:09:49.45\00:09:52.01
she worked also, in
the DC-Maryland area...
00:09:52.04\00:09:54.44
and believe it or not...
she actually had read some books
00:09:54.48\00:09:57.93
about eating a plant-based diet,
00:09:57.96\00:09:59.26
she didn't know how to
make the transition, so...
00:09:59.29\00:10:01.41
she got in contact with me...
we started working with her...
00:10:01.44\00:10:04.76
and amazingly, literally,
00:10:04.79\00:10:06.12
she had a disease
where she was actually taking
00:10:06.15\00:10:08.90
a lot of... it's a kind of
medication called Prednisone...
00:10:08.94\00:10:12.06
and the Prednisone was
causing her to gain weight,
00:10:12.10\00:10:14.49
believe it or not,
and within... literally...
00:10:14.53\00:10:16.85
again, it wasn't the 28 days...
it was a little longer than that
00:10:16.89\00:10:19.40
she stuck with it
for almost 2 or 3 months
00:10:19.44\00:10:21.15
by just changed her
lifestyle within a few months...
00:10:21.19\00:10:23.91
she literally saw...
she lost about 30 pounds...
00:10:23.94\00:10:26.44
she came off 90
percent of her medication...
00:10:26.47\00:10:28.93
she's found that...
when she started eating...
00:10:28.97\00:10:31.06
the things that she
wasn't supposed to eat...
00:10:31.10\00:10:33.16
because she would
find her joints would begin
00:10:33.19\00:10:34.95
swelling again...
and so she realized
00:10:34.99\00:10:37.00
as a Physician and
understanding that...
00:10:37.04\00:10:38.98
she said, she saw quantitative
and qualitative results...
00:10:39.02\00:10:42.32
as a result of changing her
lifestyle going on a plant-based
00:10:42.35\00:10:45.61
lifestyle... and so, I say,
00:10:45.65\00:10:47.64
"Look, I've seen it...
I've tasted it... it works... "
00:10:47.67\00:10:50.73
and so, God is good...
man... yeah, God is good...
00:10:50.76\00:10:53.78
He is... wow! wow!
00:10:53.82\00:10:55.45
so, what tools
will somebody need...
00:10:55.48\00:10:58.88
what tools will our
Dare to Dream Viewers need
00:10:58.92\00:11:01.93
to take on this challenge?
00:11:01.97\00:11:04.22
You want to answer Chef Lawson?
00:11:04.25\00:11:06.05
They're going to
need to buy things like
00:11:06.09\00:11:09.42
rice cookers, blenders,
we're going to use a lot of
00:11:09.45\00:11:14.96
healthy and fresh food...
00:11:15.00\00:11:16.65
and I think
actually there's going to be
00:11:16.68\00:11:18.77
there's going to be
up on the website...
00:11:18.80\00:11:19.91
a list of things
that they need...
00:11:19.95\00:11:21.10
We have it on the
website so you can learn
00:11:21.14\00:11:23.45
and kind of
follow along with it...
00:11:23.48\00:11:24.68
but what we're going to
do the concept of our Program
00:11:24.72\00:11:26.72
is that it's going
to be progressive...
00:11:26.76\00:11:27.96
so we're going to kind
of "prep" the individual...
00:11:27.99\00:11:30.50
"Prep" you and the
Viewer out there...
00:11:30.53\00:11:31.60
to kind of know what to
do as you keep on going...
00:11:31.63\00:11:34.27
and so, again, one
of the major tools is...
00:11:34.30\00:11:36.07
kind of... not like
an item to purchase...
00:11:36.10\00:11:37.80
but I think... the biggest
thing that each person needs
00:11:37.83\00:11:40.21
as they go on this Program...
is to have a willing heart...
00:11:40.24\00:11:42.59
that's the major
one thing... again...
00:11:42.62\00:11:44.69
you can look at
your heart as a tool...
00:11:44.73\00:11:46.51
if I'm working with you...
00:11:46.54\00:11:47.62
it's a tool that
God wants to work on...
00:11:47.65\00:11:49.16
if I'm working with that...
00:11:49.20\00:11:50.24
and so if the
willing heart is there
00:11:50.28\00:11:52.61
I believe that... again...
the things that we're teaching
00:11:52.65\00:11:55.00
will be easily be
able to be implemented...
00:11:55.04\00:11:57.00
and so, we're going to
take it step by step...
00:11:57.04\00:11:58.97
and again, we're going to
repeat a lot of the things
00:11:59.01\00:12:00.93
that we've been sharing...
and so that you're going to be
00:12:00.97\00:12:03.42
able... along with the 28
days, implement these things
00:12:03.46\00:12:05.88
step by step... and
that's kind of the idea
00:12:05.92\00:12:07.80
of the whole Program,
you know, so... yeah...
00:12:07.84\00:12:09.66
Now, a question that our Viewers
are dying to know from you...
00:12:09.69\00:12:13.65
they want to know...
00:12:13.69\00:12:15.07
"Have you all...
00:12:15.11\00:12:16.26
always been eating healthy?"
00:12:16.29\00:12:18.80
Have you always made
the right decision...
00:12:18.83\00:12:21.27
We don't want to talk about
that phase... come one now...
00:12:21.31\00:12:23.52
One of my favorite
things used to be Burger King...
00:12:23.56\00:12:26.24
Come on now... come on now...
Burger King... I like that...
00:12:26.27\00:12:28.40
It was always Burger King...
00:12:28.44\00:12:29.50
but, actually, I found out
about health at a young age...
00:12:29.53\00:12:33.54
so at 17-years-old, I
became a Vegan Vegetarian
00:12:33.57\00:12:37.18
and then, I went
to do some things
00:12:37.22\00:12:39.35
left that lifestyle...
and I got back in...
00:12:39.38\00:12:41.16
so I haven't been
eating healthy always...
00:12:41.19\00:12:43.67
but as I was growing
up my mom always fed us
00:12:43.71\00:12:46.12
meat protein... and she
always fed us vegetarian meals
00:12:46.15\00:12:49.78
and so, one day we
might have fried chicken
00:12:49.82\00:12:52.64
but then the next
day we might have...
00:12:52.68\00:12:54.05
just an all vegetarian meal
00:12:54.08\00:12:55.69
and so, I had that balance,
00:12:55.73\00:12:57.30
and so it was an easy
transition when I got older...
00:12:57.34\00:13:00.72
Mine was kind of similar
but not exactly the same,
00:13:00.75\00:13:04.06
I grew up around a family,
00:13:04.09\00:13:05.66
my uncles and my
aunts were vegetarians
00:13:05.70\00:13:07.35
but my family... man, oh man,
00:13:07.38\00:13:09.78
"give me the fried chicken"
00:13:09.81\00:13:12.14
you know what I'm saying...
fried chicken... barbeque sauce
00:13:12.18\00:13:14.34
my nose is sweating...
I'm dipping... I'm eating,
00:13:14.38\00:13:16.21
you know what I'm saying...
00:13:16.24\00:13:17.30
so every year we
had the cookouts...
00:13:17.34\00:13:18.70
I'd be eating the
ribs, eating the crabs,
00:13:18.74\00:13:20.91
you know what I'm
saying, the lobster, the shrimp,
00:13:20.95\00:13:22.81
that was our delicate meal,
you know what I'm saying...
00:13:22.84\00:13:24.69
so... the oodles and noodles,
00:13:24.72\00:13:25.95
got to add a
little cheese in there
00:13:25.98\00:13:27.73
a little meat on the side
of it, so, I grew up eating
00:13:27.77\00:13:30.08
pretty much whatever I
could find... you follow me
00:13:30.11\00:13:33.09
I'm a country boy...
so we ate squirrels...
00:13:33.12\00:13:35.75
not to go into
all that man... so...
00:13:35.79\00:13:38.61
Squirrels? anyway
I'm a country boy...
00:13:38.64\00:13:40.23
y'all might not know
what I'm talking about
00:13:40.27\00:13:42.30
y'all city folk out there
00:13:42.34\00:13:43.44
might not know what
I'm talking about...
00:13:43.48\00:13:44.52
I saw one of those
running across the street.
00:13:44.56\00:13:46.35
That was lunch...You saw
lunch running across the street
00:13:46.38\00:13:49.57
I'm a country boy,
00:13:49.61\00:13:51.95
that's how they did it,
00:13:51.99\00:13:53.35
so I ate what they gave
me you know what I mean... so
00:13:53.38\00:13:55.51
I guess you never
had to go to the store...
00:13:55.55\00:13:58.38
you went right outside
and picked your food...
00:13:58.41\00:14:00.95
Nah man, the good Lord
00:14:00.99\00:14:04.94
started convicting me
on the importance of health
00:14:04.97\00:14:07.70
as a result of learning
from my uncles and my aunts
00:14:07.73\00:14:10.74
who were vegetarians
they introduced to me
00:14:10.77\00:14:12.89
God's plan of healthy
living and so, at a young age,
00:14:12.92\00:14:15.96
even though I was
eating some things
00:14:15.99\00:14:17.19
I started implementing some of
those principles in my life...
00:14:17.23\00:14:19.36
by the time I was 18,
and I made the decision...
00:14:19.39\00:14:21.82
and actually it
was during that time...
00:14:21.85\00:14:23.45
me and Chef Lawson
met each other in college,
00:14:23.48\00:14:24.93
we were going to
Howard University
00:14:24.97\00:14:26.21
and during that same time
frame, I became a vegetarian...
00:14:26.25\00:14:28.92
and I remember man,
giving up the chicken Bro
00:14:28.96\00:14:31.18
it was almost like... man!
I was having withdrawals...
00:14:31.22\00:14:34.91
you know, people go on
withdrawals from other things...
00:14:34.94\00:14:37.32
I went on
withdrawal from chicken...
00:14:37.35\00:14:40.08
It's like
Kryptonite... come on now...
00:14:40.12\00:14:42.56
I remember the second
day, when I stopped eating the
00:14:42.59\00:14:45.86
chicken... my body
was just craving...
00:14:45.89\00:14:47.66
it was almost like I
was going into convulsions
00:14:47.69\00:14:49.59
I remember there was a Jamaican
guy outside of the school...
00:14:49.62\00:14:52.43
he was selling
chicken hot dogs...
00:14:52.47\00:14:54.02
chicken hot dogs...
that doesn't even sound good
00:14:54.06\00:14:57.35
so I'm just
eating the fried chicken
00:14:57.39\00:14:59.12
with the barbeque sauce
00:14:59.16\00:15:00.19
and I go outside...
and I'm going to get me
00:15:00.23\00:15:02.67
a chicken hot dog... and
I ate that chicken hot dog
00:15:02.70\00:15:05.11
and it was nasty...
I was so upset because
00:15:05.15\00:15:07.92
I didn't go to KFC or
go to some other place
00:15:07.96\00:15:09.59
and get the real chicken,
00:15:09.62\00:15:11.82
I got chicken hot dogs...
00:15:11.85\00:15:13.98
and I was so upset that
I got a chicken hot dog...
00:15:14.01\00:15:16.16
that was the last
time I had chicken...
00:15:16.20\00:15:18.07
so, I'll tell
you... Number One...
00:15:18.10\00:15:20.85
when you ask God to
change your taste buds...
00:15:20.89\00:15:23.38
He's able to do it...
00:15:23.42\00:15:24.52
and sometimes again...
it doesn't come... overnight
00:15:24.55\00:15:26.92
I still kind of... as
I was still transitioning
00:15:26.95\00:15:29.29
I might have eaten something
that I didn't want to eat...
00:15:29.33\00:15:31.63
but eventually,
within a year or so...
00:15:31.67\00:15:33.47
I was eating a plant-based
diet and a lot of it...
00:15:33.50\00:15:35.94
the one thing I want to stress,
is that... as you learn...
00:15:35.98\00:15:39.66
you can implement this
lifestyle Hmmm... hmmm...
00:15:39.69\00:15:41.56
You know, you can't
just go at times and say,
00:15:41.59\00:15:43.25
"I'm going to go
cold turkey" Overnight...
00:15:43.29\00:15:44.92
because if you don't
have the education...
00:15:44.96\00:15:46.22
you don't really
know what to eat...
00:15:46.25\00:15:47.35
you follow where I'm
coming from Oh yeah...
00:15:47.38\00:15:48.98
so there's a balance of
having the desire to change
00:15:49.01\00:15:52.61
but also getting the
knowledge and the education...
00:15:52.65\00:15:55.53
to implement the lifestyle...
and so that's the way to do it.
00:15:55.57\00:15:58.49
You have to
apply it... Exactly...
00:15:58.53\00:16:00.40
Exactly... And
it has an effect...
00:16:00.43\00:16:01.77
it has an effect... I
can remember... growing up
00:16:01.80\00:16:03.97
I had a horrible temper...
it went from one to one path
00:16:04.00\00:16:07.88
there was no middle game...
00:16:07.91\00:16:10.27
I was either "Not mad" or I was
"ready to burn the house down"
00:16:10.31\00:16:14.22
and so... it was that bad...
00:16:14.26\00:16:17.41
and I can remember... I
didn't know about the effects
00:16:17.44\00:16:20.95
on your temperament... your mood
00:16:20.98\00:16:22.64
but as soon as I
stopped eating meat
00:16:22.67\00:16:24.28
and started eating
more plant-based...
00:16:24.32\00:16:25.90
I was able to
control my temper...
00:16:25.94\00:16:27.34
I was able to feel it rise,
and was able to calm myself down
00:16:27.37\00:16:30.96
and I wasn't perfect,
but I was able to control it
00:16:31.00\00:16:33.98
so I saw benefits immediately
by switching my diet...
00:16:34.02\00:16:36.94
and it's very true what they
say... "You are what you eat"
00:16:36.97\00:16:41.07
you can tell by when
you eat certain meals...
00:16:41.10\00:16:44.27
you feel sluggish after you eat,
00:16:44.31\00:16:46.55
you feel tired... you feel like
you just need to go and lie down
00:16:46.59\00:16:49.14
and things like
that... Exactly... exactly...
00:16:49.17\00:16:50.78
we all know about
that and how it feels...
00:16:50.81\00:16:53.08
We know exactly
what I'm talking about...
00:16:53.12\00:16:55.32
and also, going back to what
you said earlier about it...
00:16:55.36\00:16:58.40
you can transform your diet
00:16:58.44\00:17:00.23
I've said this before,
it's great that we serve a God
00:17:00.27\00:17:04.23
that is in the
business of restoration
00:17:04.26\00:17:07.19
and transformation...
That's right... that's it...
00:17:07.23\00:17:08.90
we've all had
different walks in life...
00:17:08.93\00:17:10.64
we've all made
different decisions
00:17:10.67\00:17:12.31
whether it's diet
based or real-life based...
00:17:12.34\00:17:16.89
Exactly... Hmmm... hmmm...
00:17:16.92\00:17:18.07
and God has seen us
00:17:18.10\00:17:20.27
through those times...
00:17:20.30\00:17:22.41
and put us in a
better position. Exactly...
00:17:22.44\00:17:23.54
as long as we seek
Him, so... Exactly...
00:17:23.57\00:17:26.07
I mean, that's amazing...
and what you guys are doing
00:17:26.10\00:17:29.47
with this FORK
System... is great...
00:17:29.51\00:17:31.25
Yeah, exactly...
that's the whole model...
00:17:31.29\00:17:33.34
it's a practical way to
transform someone's life...
00:17:33.38\00:17:37.21
you know, so again, it has to be
something that people can touch,
00:17:37.25\00:17:40.29
and is tangible to them...
00:17:40.33\00:17:42.08
you know, again,
having theories and concepts
00:17:42.12\00:17:44.26
is not God's answer...
God wants it to be something
00:17:44.30\00:17:47.31
that you can again...
apply to your everyday life...
00:17:47.35\00:17:49.79
that's what it's all
about... that's the gospel...
00:17:49.82\00:17:52.38
And it has to be something
that's not difficult...
00:17:52.41\00:17:54.44
Exactly...
00:17:54.47\00:17:55.69
some people might
hear vegan vegetarian...
00:17:55.73\00:17:57.07
they're ready to
put it here they wonder,
00:17:57.10\00:17:58.41
"What do I do, what do I eat,
00:17:58.45\00:18:00.06
how am I going to get this,
and how am I going to get that?"
00:18:00.10\00:18:01.64
and we go through all that
stuff doing the FORK System
00:18:01.68\00:18:04.33
and they're going to
see just how easy it is...
00:18:04.37\00:18:06.73
to transition...
00:18:06.76\00:18:08.01
and just how good the
food actually tastes...
00:18:08.04\00:18:10.88
That's right... And we
love good-tasting food...
00:18:10.92\00:18:13.72
But... touch on the subject
00:18:13.76\00:18:17.14
of Organization
00:18:17.18\00:18:19.22
and why that is so
important in the kitchen...
00:18:19.25\00:18:21.67
Why is it
important to be organized?
00:18:21.70\00:18:23.49
Let's go... I want to
re-cap on the 4 points
00:18:23.52\00:18:26.57
So the Organizational point...
we're going to be talking about,
00:18:26.60\00:18:29.31
again, we're talking
about the Kitchen Organization
00:18:29.34\00:18:31.60
and I believe that
that's one of the foundational
00:18:31.63\00:18:33.81
things that has to be done...
your kitchen has to be organized
00:18:33.85\00:18:36.51
so what we do... the
reason why we do this is
00:18:36.54\00:18:38.45
because, again, when it
comes to cooking healthy...
00:18:38.48\00:18:40.69
you have to be in sync,
00:18:40.73\00:18:42.05
you have to have
things set up properly
00:18:42.08\00:18:43.96
you have to know which
ingredients to even use...
00:18:43.99\00:18:46.67
Hmmm... hmmm... so
we go step by step...
00:18:46.71\00:18:48.29
showing you exactly which
ingredients to purchase...
00:18:48.32\00:18:51.10
we show you step by step
00:18:51.13\00:18:52.75
showing you how to
organize your kitchen
00:18:52.78\00:18:55.17
how to put this cabinet
and set up these ingredients...
00:18:55.21\00:18:57.89
so for example...
in the morning time...
00:18:57.92\00:18:59.36
you're going to eat simple...
let's say... a breakfast meal...
00:18:59.39\00:19:02.29
all of us love
oatmeal, right? Hmmm... hmmm...
00:19:02.32\00:19:04.29
So we set up an Oatmeal Station
00:19:04.32\00:19:05.64
you follow
where I'm coming from?
00:19:05.68\00:19:07.46
You got your
grains... your oatmeal
00:19:07.49\00:19:09.24
and even other grains
you can have for breakfast...
00:19:09.27\00:19:11.23
but how to actually have
your different seasonings...
00:19:11.26\00:19:13.19
such as your
cinnamon, or your coriander,
00:19:13.23\00:19:17.01
or your raisins and
your nuts and your almonds
00:19:17.05\00:19:20.76
and your walnuts and
your pecans and your craisins,
00:19:20.79\00:19:22.54
the apricots... all that...
you can put it in a nice station
00:19:22.58\00:19:24.91
and then in the morning time,
Brother... when you wake up...
00:19:24.94\00:19:27.50
you just put that oatmeal
on, put it inside that bowl...
00:19:27.54\00:19:30.02
I'm talking about some good
old-fashioned eating, man...
00:19:30.05\00:19:32.50
So, again, we go
over that kind of stuff...
00:19:32.54\00:19:35.63
we also talk about
personal organization...
00:19:35.67\00:19:38.73
Okay... meaning that my life
00:19:38.77\00:19:40.54
has to be
organized... Oh yeah...
00:19:40.57\00:19:42.43
meaning again if
everything is all over the place
00:19:42.46\00:19:44.82
in our lives... are
we going to even have
00:19:44.85\00:19:46.74
the time to even think
about... eating healthy...
00:19:46.77\00:19:49.32
if the priorities in our lives
aren't in the right place...
00:19:49.35\00:19:52.69
it's difficult to get
them to make transitions
00:19:52.73\00:19:54.68
on different things... so we
talk about personal organization
00:19:54.71\00:19:58.24
we also talk about...
00:19:58.27\00:19:59.51
what I think is
very important also...
00:19:59.55\00:20:00.61
about different tools...
some of the most important tools
00:20:00.65\00:20:03.35
that you need in your kitchen...
00:20:03.38\00:20:04.98
to again, automate the process
of cooking healthy as well...
00:20:05.01\00:20:09.72
so we go over things such
as... how to use a knife...
00:20:09.76\00:20:11.99
people say, "I
know how to use a knife"
00:20:12.02\00:20:14.29
but many times we don't
know the different knives
00:20:14.33\00:20:16.00
and what their names are,
00:20:16.04\00:20:17.10
or even how to use
those different knives...
00:20:17.14\00:20:18.85
And their functions exactly...
00:20:18.88\00:20:20.32
we talk about, as well,
we go over the rice cooker...
00:20:20.35\00:20:23.81
we talk about the griddle...
and just how you use those tools
00:20:23.84\00:20:26.65
and the blender, you know,
again a key tool for the kitchen
00:20:26.68\00:20:31.19
so, organization
dealing with all of that...
00:20:31.22\00:20:33.41
and so it's power
packed really power packed...
00:20:33.44\00:20:35.60
so it's really good...
00:20:35.64\00:20:36.97
Okay, also, one thing
you said, it's fast too...
00:20:37.01\00:20:42.31
you can eat healthy
but you can make it fast...
00:20:42.34\00:20:45.70
which is so, so, so
important in this Society...
00:20:45.74\00:20:49.02
because... let's face it...
we live in a microwave society,
00:20:49.06\00:20:51.51
and we want it now... Exactly...
00:20:51.54\00:20:54.71
so, for it to be fast, easy,
00:20:54.75\00:20:57.48
people are more likely
to make that transition...
00:20:57.52\00:21:00.16
Exactly... they're
more likely to use it...
00:21:00.20\00:21:01.49
And we emphasize that...
that's why the Organizational
00:21:01.53\00:21:05.27
component is so critical...
00:21:05.31\00:21:06.83
because the more
organized you are...
00:21:06.87\00:21:08.28
the more "system" you have...
00:21:08.32\00:21:10.34
for any business...
when you have systems
00:21:10.38\00:21:12.70
and operations in place...
00:21:12.73\00:21:13.88
everything kind
of goes automated...
00:21:13.92\00:21:15.76
so, again, our
lifestyles can become like that
00:21:15.80\00:21:18.83
we can have things such in a way
00:21:18.87\00:21:20.13
that when we get up it's
just kind of like clockwork
00:21:20.16\00:21:22.16
again, you put the beans on
at night... in the crockpot...
00:21:22.20\00:21:24.58
when you wake up in
the morning, guess what?
00:21:24.61\00:21:25.98
The beans are done...
you got soup for the next day
00:21:26.01\00:21:28.50
for dinner or
even... take it for lunch...
00:21:28.53\00:21:30.25
and so, again we talk about
all those little simple tips
00:21:30.28\00:21:33.20
how to make it
easy... and quick...
00:21:33.24\00:21:35.15
for you to do... right at home
00:21:35.18\00:21:36.63
Well, okay...
well, you know what
00:21:36.67\00:21:38.44
let's go to the "Faith Section"
00:21:38.47\00:21:40.18
Come on now... so,
why is "Faith" important?
00:21:40.21\00:21:43.65
Why is it
important to have Faith...
00:21:43.69\00:21:45.02
I want you to answer this...
00:21:45.05\00:21:46.45
I want you to come on
in and answer this one...
00:21:46.48\00:21:50.13
Anybody who
studies health and diet...
00:21:50.16\00:21:52.49
we know that out
there in the world
00:21:52.53\00:21:54.88
that diet and
spirituality are connected...
00:21:54.92\00:21:57.53
in a bunch of
all other religions
00:21:57.57\00:22:00.27
that are in the world...
they connect these two things...
00:22:00.30\00:22:02.23
but most of the
time you don't find it
00:22:02.26\00:22:03.77
connected in Christianity and
and we want to show people that
00:22:03.81\00:22:06.69
all these principles of health
00:22:06.73\00:22:08.37
all these principles of
healthy eating and living
00:22:08.41\00:22:10.11
are directly from the Bible...
and so what we've pulled out
00:22:10.14\00:22:13.09
is 28... I like to
call them "Power Promises"
00:22:13.13\00:22:15.61
and we go through these promises
00:22:15.65\00:22:17.14
and how you can
get closer to Christ...
00:22:17.17\00:22:19.06
and how...
getting closer to Christ
00:22:19.09\00:22:21.41
physically... by
eating good foods...
00:22:21.45\00:22:23.70
also is proportionate to
what God wants to do for you
00:22:23.73\00:22:26.42
spiritually... in your life...
and so, you can't separate
00:22:26.45\00:22:29.11
the two because you
could eat healthy...
00:22:29.14\00:22:31.13
and not get closer to
Christ... and really miss
00:22:31.16\00:22:33.25
the everlasting blessing...
that you really should achieve
00:22:33.28\00:22:35.98
and you could get closer
to Christ and not know that
00:22:36.02\00:22:38.27
maybe your relationship
could be different...
00:22:38.31\00:22:40.23
if your mind was more clear,
00:22:40.26\00:22:41.72
or if your body was
functioning better...
00:22:41.76\00:22:43.35
and you could
enjoy optimal health
00:22:43.38\00:22:45.01
not only in this life...
but in the next life to come.
00:22:45.05\00:22:47.29
Hmmm... amen...
00:22:47.33\00:22:48.38
We're about to have
Church here Brother...
00:22:48.42\00:22:51.10
with a big "Praise the
Lord" right... right...
00:22:51.13\00:22:53.65
We get all
excited... we get all excited...
00:22:53.68\00:22:56.13
So, faith is extremely
important and we know that
00:22:56.17\00:23:00.07
faith is very important...
00:23:00.10\00:23:01.14
we just wanted to break it down
for our Viewers a little bit...
00:23:01.18\00:23:03.66
but what about recipes...
why can't I just pour this in
00:23:03.69\00:23:07.66
and pour that
in... and pour this in...
00:23:07.70\00:23:10.38
and just pray and
hope for a good meal...
00:23:10.42\00:23:13.07
That's a good question, man...
because recipes obviously...
00:23:13.10\00:23:16.00
we need to have knowledge
of how to cook this way...
00:23:16.03\00:23:17.75
we're getting
used to eating again,
00:23:17.78\00:23:19.67
we're talking about
vegan... we're talking about
00:23:19.70\00:23:20.75
cutting out the dairy...
00:23:20.79\00:23:22.00
we're talking about
not eating the meat...
00:23:22.04\00:23:24.31
and so, a lot of the things
that we're used to eating...
00:23:24.35\00:23:27.59
we have to replace...
00:23:27.63\00:23:28.83
and so, again, we want
to make it practical where
00:23:28.86\00:23:31.63
as you can learn how
to replace those things...
00:23:31.67\00:23:34.37
and what we find is that, again,
once we learn those ingredients
00:23:34.40\00:23:37.94
that can replace the things
that we're used to eating...
00:23:37.98\00:23:40.22
we find that it's
really the same thing...
00:23:40.25\00:23:42.33
I would like to tell
people who eat chicken,
00:23:42.36\00:23:44.01
I used to eat a
lot of fried chicken...
00:23:44.04\00:23:46.58
again, so, when
you make fried chicken,
00:23:46.61\00:23:49.11
if it's not seasoned good...
00:23:49.15\00:23:50.51
it doesn't taste
good... absolutely not...
00:23:50.55\00:23:52.84
Have you ever had a
bland piece of fried chicken?
00:23:52.88\00:23:54.97
Yeah... Exactly...
00:23:55.00\00:23:56.26
and so, obviously again...
00:23:56.29\00:23:57.86
if you don't season it properly,
it's not going to taste good...
00:23:57.89\00:23:59.92
the same is true
when you make your
00:23:59.95\00:24:01.58
Vegan Chicken... if you
follow where I'm coming from...
00:24:01.61\00:24:03.79
you understand where
I'm coming from... so,
00:24:03.83\00:24:04.95
and we talk about all of
that and so, again, the recipes
00:24:04.98\00:24:08.65
are for people
to see practically
00:24:08.68\00:24:10.48
how it can actually be done...
00:24:10.51\00:24:12.24
and then we want
to empower the Viewer
00:24:12.27\00:24:14.72
to be able to
actually do it... at home...
00:24:14.75\00:24:17.08
and so we make it really simple,
we're not doing complex recipes
00:24:17.11\00:24:20.07
these recipes can be learned
in a matter of minutes...
00:24:20.10\00:24:22.54
and then they can
go right in the kitchen
00:24:22.58\00:24:24.05
and do it right at home, man...
and they start it immediately
00:24:24.09\00:24:26.68
which is our goal... and so,
that's what we're looking for...
00:24:26.71\00:24:29.27
That's great... and
what the knowledge...
00:24:29.30\00:24:32.95
I mean, it's so important
to impart knowledge on others
00:24:32.98\00:24:37.79
and share
knowledge among others...
00:24:37.83\00:24:39.35
so, what do you hope
that our Viewers take...
00:24:39.39\00:24:44.87
from the whole System?
00:24:44.91\00:24:46.87
Well, it's kind of
like "sitting in class"
00:24:46.90\00:24:51.77
and if there's never
any quiz, never any test...
00:24:51.80\00:24:54.24
or anything like that...
then you're just listening...
00:24:54.28\00:24:57.16
but you won't retain
anything, and so, we hope the
00:24:57.19\00:24:59.56
knowledge part will
make you pay more attention,
00:24:59.59\00:25:01.90
it will make you
catch those fine points
00:25:01.94\00:25:04.28
that we're were trying
to go over in the show...
00:25:04.31\00:25:05.49
so that you actually
00:25:05.53\00:25:06.57
are paying attention
to what you're doing,
00:25:06.60\00:25:08.61
you're actually
retaining the information...
00:25:08.64\00:25:10.46
and if you don't retain it...
00:25:10.49\00:25:11.78
you won't be able
to use it afterwards...
00:25:11.81\00:25:13.12
it might be a nice
show, it might be fun,
00:25:13.16\00:25:15.27
it might entertain you,
but then after the TV is off
00:25:15.30\00:25:17.82
or the camera is off...
you're not left with anything
00:25:17.85\00:25:20.34
but a feeling... and we
want you to be left with
00:25:20.38\00:25:22.77
not just a feeling...
but tools to empower you...
00:25:22.80\00:25:25.16
and live this
lifestyle... Amen... amen...
00:25:25.19\00:25:27.57
I'm spiritually
hungry, I'm physically hungry,
00:25:27.60\00:25:29.94
I'm hoping that
you're all preaching
00:25:30.08\00:25:31.45
and we're eating...
that's it... That's it...
00:25:31.49\00:25:34.88
As I'd like to say...
we're going to give you
00:25:34.92\00:25:36.13
"Something to Chew
on" That's right...
00:25:36.17\00:25:37.79
something to chew on...
yeah... yeah... that's right...
00:25:37.83\00:25:39.02
So we're going to
make some bread...
00:25:39.06\00:25:40.21
and then we're going
to break some bread...
00:25:40.25\00:25:41.64
That's it... that's
right... that's right... yeah...
00:25:41.67\00:25:43.94
That's deep... so,
what are your final thoughts
00:25:43.97\00:25:47.42
for our Viewers?
00:25:47.46\00:25:48.52
I think the last point I
would say... I think that...
00:25:48.55\00:25:53.54
God has something special
for all of us in this journey...
00:25:53.58\00:25:56.20
it's not just another...
00:25:56.24\00:25:57.99
I guess you can
say... "cooking program"
00:25:58.02\00:25:59.68
you can watch all kinds of
networks with cooking programs
00:25:59.71\00:26:02.96
Hmmm... hmmm... this,
I believe, is going to be
00:26:03.00\00:26:04.82
if you're looking for revival...
not only in your health,
00:26:04.85\00:26:07.63
but spiritually...
00:26:07.67\00:26:08.76
one of the things that
we want to really uplift
00:26:08.79\00:26:10.49
in this Program is... is Christ
00:26:10.53\00:26:12.36
because He's the one
that gives us the power to
00:26:12.40\00:26:14.91
to do all of these things...
00:26:14.94\00:26:16.00
He's the one that's going
to teach us along this journey
00:26:16.04\00:26:19.32
and so, we're
learning... Chef Lawson and I...
00:26:19.35\00:26:21.33
we're
learning... as we're sharing
00:26:21.36\00:26:22.65
the Viewers are going
to be learning... so...
00:26:22.69\00:26:25.36
I'm just really...
00:26:25.39\00:26:26.46
my prayer, most
importantly is that...
00:26:26.49\00:26:27.92
if you're looking for
revival in your experience...
00:26:27.95\00:26:30.37
we're going to be reading
through the book of Matthew...
00:26:30.41\00:26:31.94
that's going to
be something special
00:26:31.98\00:26:33.35
that we're going to be
doing... we got 28 days...
00:26:33.38\00:26:35.53
the book of
Matthew has 28 chapters...
00:26:35.57\00:26:37.96
and so we're going to be
looking at the book of Matthew
00:26:37.99\00:26:40.55
and we're learning all about
Christ... and how He worked.
00:26:40.59\00:26:43.07
Anything... did we
leave out Chef Lawson?
00:26:43.10\00:26:45.02
Well, I just have
one thing to take away...
00:26:45.06\00:26:46.95
if anybody is
looking for a change...
00:26:46.99\00:26:48.76
they're tired of the way
they're living... physically...
00:26:48.79\00:26:51.37
tired of the way
they're living spiritually...
00:26:51.40\00:26:52.81
then this is
the show... for them
00:26:52.85\00:26:54.53
it's a faith-based show...
00:26:54.57\00:26:56.31
and we really wanted to
incorporate... spirituality...
00:26:56.35\00:26:59.64
and something most people
don't see... like cooking...
00:26:59.67\00:27:01.93
most cooking shows...
all they do is cook...
00:27:01.97\00:27:03.90
we wanted to
00:27:03.94\00:27:05.29
"cook in the kitchen and
cook outside the kitchen"
00:27:05.33\00:27:07.05
Come on now... I like that...
00:27:07.09\00:27:08.13
and so if anybody
that's looking for a change...
00:27:08.17\00:27:10.57
and if you're
watching this show...
00:27:10.61\00:27:12.36
you found the right show...
Exactly... exactly... exactly...
00:27:12.40\00:27:17.31
Is there a
scripture of encouragement
00:27:17.35\00:27:19.42
that you can offer
for these next 28 days?
00:27:19.45\00:27:21.78
I got one... I
think the one that comes
00:27:21.82\00:27:24.29
to mind is in
Psalms... it says that
00:27:24.32\00:27:27.48
"O taste and see
that the Lord is good:
00:27:27.52\00:27:30.99
blessed is the man
that trusteth in Him. "
00:27:31.03\00:27:34.43
And so I would say...
as the Viewers go on this
00:27:34.47\00:27:37.00
28-day Challenge...
we have to realize that
00:27:37.03\00:27:39.53
when we taste
God's way... it's good...
00:27:39.57\00:27:41.84
and at the same time...
00:27:41.87\00:27:43.09
even though at times
we're going through change and
00:27:43.13\00:27:45.20
or maybe letting go of some
things that we're used to...
00:27:45.23\00:27:47.34
some of the food that we
might be used to eating...
00:27:47.37\00:27:49.23
that God is going to say,
00:27:49.27\00:27:50.56
"Guess what, if you trust in me
I'm going to give you the power,
00:27:50.59\00:27:53.75
I'm going to give
you the strength...
00:27:53.78\00:27:55.18
I'm going to give us... "
00:27:55.21\00:27:56.45
He's going to give us
everything that we need
00:27:56.48\00:27:58.11
to be able to endure...
all the way unto the end...
00:27:58.15\00:28:00.33
and so, I say,
"Listen, God is good... "
00:28:00.37\00:28:01.97
I like to say...
God is going to say...
00:28:02.00\00:28:03.54
"Oh taste and Chew
that God is good" amen...
00:28:03.57\00:28:06.01
You all know what I mean...
00:28:06.04\00:28:07.17
Yeah, yeah, you're
taking us to Church...
00:28:07.21\00:28:09.08
That's right... that's it...
and so that's what I would say
00:28:09.12\00:28:11.52
that's what I would
leave with everybody with...
00:28:11.56\00:28:12.99
Okay...
wonderful... wonderful...
00:28:13.03\00:28:15.13
thank you so
much for joining us...
00:28:15.16\00:28:16.88
I am looking forward to
"Chew's 28-Day Challenge"
00:28:16.92\00:28:20.58
and I know our
Viewers are too...
00:28:20.61\00:28:22.35
the ability to
lead a healthy lifestyle
00:28:22.38\00:28:25.07
while being
organized and spiritually fed
00:28:25.11\00:28:27.73
is truly a blessing if
you have a health concern,
00:28:27.77\00:28:30.11
make sure to check
with your physician first...
00:28:30.14\00:28:32.45
and let him know
what you're doing...
00:28:32.49\00:28:34.57
if approved, make the commitment
00:28:34.60\00:28:36.47
to join us every day
