Jason Bradley, was on
the set with the two chefs...
00:00:44.84\00:00:47.24

00:00:47.28\00:00:48.61
Hello and welcome to
00:00:48.64\00:00:50.08
Chew's 28-Day Challenge
00:00:50.11\00:00:51.81
my name is Jason
Bradley and I'm here today
00:00:51.85\00:00:54.15
with Chefs GW
Chew and Tim Lawson...
00:00:54.18\00:00:56.25
How are you
doing today brothers?
00:00:56.28\00:00:58.32
We're doing good man...
00:00:58.35\00:00:59.69
we're doing
great... how are you doing?
00:00:59.72\00:01:01.12
Good... I'm doing well...
00:01:01.16\00:01:02.49
I know our Viewers are anxiously
awaiting the "Chew's Challenge"
00:01:02.52\00:01:07.36
what is "Chew's Challenge"
00:01:07.40\00:01:09.93
what can our Viewers
expect from this Program?
00:01:09.96\00:01:12.63
Well, we actually
are doing the 28-Day
00:01:12.67\00:01:15.60
Wellness Lifestyle Challenge
00:01:15.67\00:01:17.51
Okay... So we have
a power-packed model
00:01:17.54\00:01:20.48
that we've created... a
process that we've created
00:01:20.51\00:01:23.01
to help individuals
just learn how to be healthy,
00:01:23.04\00:01:25.28
learn how to live
healthy, and also learn about
00:01:25.35\00:01:27.58
Christ as well as
being the foundation...
00:01:27.62\00:01:29.28
and so, it's a process
that we kind of developed
00:01:29.32\00:01:32.55
in this Chew's
Challenge Model...
00:01:32.59\00:01:34.39
Wow! that sounds amazing...
I'm excited about it...
00:01:34.42\00:01:38.13
so, let's look in a
little bit of your background...
00:01:38.16\00:01:41.76
Chef Chew, I'll start with you.
00:01:41.80\00:01:43.40
Well, I'm actually, right now,
00:01:43.43\00:01:44.97
I'm currently living
in Oakland, California...
00:01:45.03\00:01:46.80
Okay... I'm working right now...
00:01:46.84\00:01:48.44
I'm about to open
a Vegan Restaurant
00:01:48.47\00:01:49.80
in Oakland, California...
00:01:49.84\00:01:51.17
I actually serve
as a Pastor as well...
00:01:51.21\00:01:53.41
so, I've been
serving the Lord, in ministry
00:01:53.44\00:01:56.04
and I have a passion to
help people to eat better,
00:01:56.08\00:02:00.08
live better, and again...
00:02:00.12\00:02:01.55
learn about the
Lord Jesus Christ
00:02:01.58\00:02:03.28
just try to... just
get them on a new journey
00:02:03.32\00:02:05.99
so, that's what I do...
00:02:06.02\00:02:07.36
You're starting a
Vegan Restaurant...
00:02:07.39\00:02:11.06
A vegan restaurant...
about 15 minutes outside of
00:02:11.09\00:02:13.63
San Francisco, right in
downtown Oakland, California...
00:02:13.70\00:02:17.13
we're really excited...
00:02:17.17\00:02:19.00
That's kind of huge...
we have so many people today
00:02:19.03\00:02:22.24
worried about their
figure and how they look...
00:02:22.27\00:02:25.04
Exactly... and trying to...
00:02:25.07\00:02:26.41
especially in California...
especially in California...
00:02:26.44\00:02:28.48
Exactly... Right...
00:02:28.51\00:02:29.94
So, let's talk about
your background Chef Lawson...
00:02:29.98\00:02:32.51
Where are you from?
00:02:32.55\00:02:33.88
Well, I'm just a young man
00:02:33.92\00:02:35.62
that's trying to just take over
the world for Christ... so...
00:02:35.65\00:02:37.52
I live in
Sacramento, California too...
00:02:37.55\00:02:39.82
I'm working up an opening...
doing the restaurant work with
00:02:39.85\00:02:42.76
Chef Chew... we have
an Organization called
00:02:42.79\00:02:44.89
"Something Better Foods"
and also, I'm working down in
00:02:44.96\00:02:47.36
Sacramento with an
Organization called,
00:02:47.40\00:02:49.70
"Christ Frontline Operation"
so we're trying to evangelize
00:02:49.73\00:02:52.77
that area... so I'm
an Elder of the Church...
00:02:52.80\00:02:54.77
husband of one wife, and
father of three daughters...
00:02:54.80\00:02:57.77
Amen... all right... all right
00:02:57.81\00:02:59.71
husband of one wife...
that's how it's supposed to be.
00:02:59.74\00:03:02.11
I'm happy you made that decision
all right... now... now...
00:03:02.14\00:03:06.55
Oh boy! how is
this Program structured?
00:03:06.58\00:03:10.19
Well, we developed a concept,
we call it the FORK System...
00:03:10.22\00:03:14.06
Okay... and the FORK System
00:03:14.09\00:03:15.89
is pretty much an acronym...
the "F" stands for Faith,
00:03:15.92\00:03:19.16
the "O" stands for Organization,
the "R" stands for Recipes,
00:03:19.19\00:03:23.10
and the "K"
stands... you want to guess?
00:03:23.13\00:03:25.93
Knowledge... you got
it... there you go...
00:03:25.97\00:03:29.37
it stands for knowledge...
that's right... so...
00:03:29.40\00:03:31.64
it's pretty much
that's kind of the model
00:03:31.67\00:03:33.71
that we're going to be using...
in this whole Program...
00:03:33.74\00:03:36.61
we're going to start out
with a little "Faith Tip"
00:03:36.64\00:03:40.28
you know... we want
to go right from the Word
00:03:40.32\00:03:41.95
and learn... right from Christ
a little principle of the Bible
00:03:41.98\00:03:45.82
we're going to
go to "Organization"
00:03:45.85\00:03:47.66
and we're going to
have "Organizational Tips"
00:03:47.69\00:03:49.46
we going to be
talking about everything from
00:03:49.49\00:03:51.16
organizing your kitchen...
00:03:51.19\00:03:52.53
everything from
organizing your life
00:03:52.56\00:03:54.73
your personal life...
00:03:54.76\00:03:56.10
also, how to use
various kitchen tools...
00:03:56.13\00:03:58.50
in the kitchen... a lot of times
00:03:58.53\00:04:00.77
you don't know how to
use, let's say a Rice Cooker
00:04:00.80\00:04:03.71
or different tools needed
to be able to cook healthy,
00:04:03.74\00:04:06.47
cook vegan-type foods...
and so, then we're going to have
00:04:06.51\00:04:09.18
recipes... and that's
going to be really neat...
00:04:09.21\00:04:11.05
we're going to have
almost 28 different recipes
00:04:11.08\00:04:12.88
sorry, 28 times
2... what's that?
00:04:12.91\00:04:15.82
come on... 56... there we
go, there you go... exactly...
00:04:15.85\00:04:21.96
we got about 56 recipes...
00:04:21.99\00:04:23.89
during this whole
process as well...
00:04:23.93\00:04:25.73
at the very end... we kind
of cap it off with the knowledge
00:04:25.79\00:04:29.43
we ask three questions...
00:04:29.46\00:04:31.27
that kind of re-cap
what we've talked about...
00:04:31.30\00:04:33.84
in the entire
Program that we've done...
00:04:33.87\00:04:36.20
and so it's power-packed man...
it's intense, a lot of change,
00:04:36.24\00:04:40.04
a lot of variations so
it kind of keeps you just
00:04:40.08\00:04:41.98
glued to the
screen by God's grace...
00:04:42.01\00:04:43.55
yeah... yeah...
That's a phenomenal concept
00:04:43.61\00:04:46.28
because not only are you getting
great recipes... healthy recipes
00:04:46.31\00:04:50.95
Exactly... recipes
that are good for you
00:04:50.99\00:04:53.62
but it tastes good as well...
00:04:53.66\00:04:54.99
but you're also
learning how to be organized...
00:04:55.02\00:04:56.36
Exactly...
00:04:56.39\00:04:57.73
you're learning how to establish
00:04:57.76\00:04:59.83
a deeper faith... Exactly...
00:04:59.86\00:05:02.00
and you're
re-capping on everything
00:05:02.06\00:05:04.30
through the knowledge section...
00:05:04.33\00:05:07.24
How did you even
come up with that?
00:05:07.27\00:05:10.07
Well, Tim, do you
want to take this one?
00:05:10.11\00:05:11.94
We recognize that people's
lives are multi-faceted...
00:05:11.97\00:05:15.74
so we don't want to
just have a cooking show
00:05:15.78\00:05:17.31
where we just cook...
because that wouldn't reach
00:05:17.35\00:05:19.48
people at all
facets of their lives...
00:05:19.51\00:05:21.25
and Number Two... we
recognize that health
00:05:21.28\00:05:23.39
is really connected
with their spirituality...
00:05:23.42\00:05:25.45
Hmmm... and so we
didn't just want to
00:05:25.49\00:05:26.82
bring the people up physically,
00:05:26.86\00:05:28.19
we wanted to bring
them up spiritually...
00:05:28.22\00:05:30.03
and so we thought of a
Show that has different segments
00:05:30.06\00:05:32.23
where people can go on
a little 28-minute journey
00:05:32.26\00:05:35.46
with this... and
then a 28-day journey...
00:05:35.50\00:05:37.73
as it were... and so...
00:05:37.77\00:05:39.10
that's how we came
up with the concept
00:05:39.13\00:05:40.47
Exactly... and also, we
wanted to have something
00:05:40.50\00:05:42.40
that will be practical...
a lot of times you can learn
00:05:42.44\00:05:44.54
how to cook but you
might not know how to begin
00:05:44.57\00:05:46.41
or actually
implement that lifestyle...
00:05:46.44\00:05:48.58
we wanted to
give people all the...
00:05:48.61\00:05:50.68
the holistic tools...
00:05:50.71\00:05:52.75
that the individual would need
00:05:52.78\00:05:54.82
to be able to go on this
journey so again, the faith,
00:05:54.85\00:05:57.29
again... it gives
you the Bible tools...
00:05:57.35\00:05:58.92
if you follow me... so,
again, it's found in the Word
00:05:58.95\00:06:01.09
Organizational Tools...
again, we're going to go on to
00:06:01.16\00:06:03.36
the kitchen... show you
how to make a different station
00:06:03.39\00:06:05.56
in your
kitchen... a "Salad Station"
00:06:05.63\00:06:06.96
so, we're going to show you
how to make a "Grain Station"
00:06:07.00\00:06:09.00
we're going to
show you how to do a...
00:06:09.03\00:06:10.37
all your different sweeteners...
how to set up your whole kitchen
00:06:10.40\00:06:13.57
so it can be organized...
you know, so again...
00:06:13.60\00:06:15.60
the tools are practical...
00:06:15.64\00:06:16.97
things that you
can take with you
00:06:17.01\00:06:18.34
and use... right now...
starting when you learn it
00:06:18.37\00:06:20.58
and begin implementing it
immediately in your life...
00:06:20.61\00:06:22.91
and so... yeah...
We wanted you to...
00:06:22.94\00:06:25.28
if you didn't know
anything about how to live a
00:06:25.31\00:06:27.02
vegetarian or vegan lifestyle...
00:06:27.05\00:06:28.42
we wanted you to be
able to know nothing...
00:06:28.45\00:06:30.29
watch the show...
00:06:30.32\00:06:31.65
and then walk away with
knowing just about everything...
00:06:31.69\00:06:34.09
every tool that you need...
00:06:34.12\00:06:35.46
Exactly... exactly...
00:06:35.49\00:06:36.83
Wow! so again, physically
fed and spiritually fed...
00:06:36.86\00:06:38.96
You got it, that's it,
that's it It's a Combo...
00:06:38.99\00:06:40.86
You said something earlier
that kind of reminds me of
00:06:40.90\00:06:44.73
living a healthier lifestyle,
God has placed some laws...
00:06:44.80\00:06:49.17
in the Bible... the Commandments
00:06:49.20\00:06:51.14
not to be a burden to us...
but to help us live longer,
00:06:51.17\00:06:57.21
healthier, more
fruitful lives Exactly...
00:06:57.28\00:07:00.45
and I think...
that's one of the huge
00:07:00.48\00:07:03.52
or the biggest
things that I've learned...
00:07:03.55\00:07:05.62
is that... it's not
meant to be a burden on us...
00:07:05.65\00:07:08.69
but to keep us and protect
us... Exactly... exactly...
00:07:08.72\00:07:12.36
and that's so true...
you know God gives us the...
00:07:12.39\00:07:15.96
the Bible says in the
book of Deuteronomy...
00:07:16.00\00:07:17.47
that His
Commandments are for life...
00:07:17.50\00:07:20.44
so, the Commandments and
Laws, many times we look at God
00:07:20.47\00:07:23.27
like He's Godzilla... you know,
and if we don't do what God says
00:07:23.30\00:07:26.11
then we're going to get zapped,
He's going to come and bite us
00:07:26.14\00:07:28.91
or we kind of look at
this God as a "Zapping God"
00:07:28.94\00:07:31.45
rather than realizing
that what God has given us
00:07:31.48\00:07:33.92
is for our own benefit...
you know, again each Commandment
00:07:33.95\00:07:36.89
every law that God gives...
even Laws that He's given
00:07:36.92\00:07:39.39
that governs our bodies...
if we follow with His laws...
00:07:39.45\00:07:42.16
the body in essence...
reacts... in a healthy way...
00:07:42.19\00:07:44.86
if we work out... what happens?
00:07:44.89\00:07:46.66
We start looking,
getting a little buff,
00:07:46.70\00:07:48.73
you know what I'm saying...
we start getting fit...
00:07:48.76\00:07:50.80
and so, everything again...
the things that He's given us
00:07:50.83\00:07:52.83
the Laws of Life,
the Laws of His Word,
00:07:52.87\00:07:54.74
are only for our benefit...
that's the blessing...
00:07:54.77\00:07:57.67
There are real...
00:07:57.71\00:07:59.74
there are bad
things in the world...
00:07:59.77\00:08:01.71
there's real evil in the world,
00:08:01.74\00:08:03.31
there are real
diseases in the world,
00:08:03.35\00:08:05.65
so if God is
loving, and God is a father,
00:08:05.68\00:08:07.72
then, He's going
to want to protect us
00:08:07.75\00:08:09.42
from these things
and like you said,
00:08:09.45\00:08:11.05
"The Commandments are
that protective barrier"
00:08:11.09\00:08:13.46
the moral and the
physical elements...
00:08:13.49\00:08:15.66
Amen... Amen...
00:08:15.69\00:08:17.03
Now, have you done
this 28-day challenge before
00:08:17.06\00:08:19.79
have you done a
challenge similar to this or...
00:08:19.83\00:08:22.66
We actually have...
believe it or not...
00:08:22.70\00:08:25.37
I've actually
been having restaurants
00:08:25.40\00:08:28.00
for the last 7 or 8 years...
and then those experiences...
00:08:28.04\00:08:31.81
we have been able to run those
Programs in our restaurant...
00:08:31.84\00:08:35.58
I've been able to do
it in a personal level
00:08:35.61\00:08:37.51
to give you a success
story, there was a lady
00:08:37.55\00:08:39.71
who was actually...
who was on our Program...
00:08:39.75\00:08:42.08
she lived in D.C. and
she didn't know anything
00:08:42.15\00:08:44.49
about eating healthy...
she actually had a very
00:08:44.52\00:08:47.16
sedentary lifestyle...
she was really overweight...
00:08:47.19\00:08:49.76
she had a skin
disease called Eczema...
00:08:49.79\00:08:52.46
and believe it or
not... she was in our Program
00:08:52.49\00:08:54.56
a little longer than
28 days but pretty much
00:08:54.63\00:08:57.67
in about 40 days... she
lost almost 40 pounds...
00:08:57.70\00:09:00.67
it was amazing to see
the progress that she had...
00:09:00.70\00:09:03.67
her skin began clearing
up, I mean, she began to...
00:09:03.71\00:09:06.61
she was a Christian as well...
00:09:06.64\00:09:07.98
she was drawing
closer to the Lord...
00:09:08.01\00:09:09.34
and I ended up moving away...
so I didn't get to stay with her
00:09:09.38\00:09:13.15
longer than those 40 days...
but the Lord really, really made
00:09:13.18\00:09:17.09
tremendous impact in
her life... and so...
00:09:17.12\00:09:20.22
I mean, I have tons of success
stories that God has done
00:09:20.26\00:09:22.76
similar to that... but
it really does work, man...
00:09:22.79\00:09:24.29
it really does work...
00:09:24.36\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...
00:09:27.56\00:09:32.57
maybe likes some chicken,
maybe likes some French fries,
00:09:32.60\00:09:35.20
some ice cream at midnight,
you know... something like that
00:09:35.24\00:09:38.01
and you can
transform that diet like that
00:09:38.04\00:09:42.51
and with good food? Yes...
00:09:42.54\00:09:43.88
yes, you'd better believe it...
I'll give you another story...
00:09:43.91\00:09:45.51
a lady... she was a doctor...
00:09:45.55\00:09:46.88
she was a doctor
and she was a lawyer...
00:09:46.92\00:09:49.38
it's pretty interesting...
she was a very educated woman
00:09:49.42\00:09:51.99
she worked also, in
the DC-Maryland area...
00:09:52.02\00:09:54.42
and believe it or not...
she actually had read some books
00:09:54.46\00:09:57.89
about eating a plant-based diet,
00:09:57.93\00:09:59.26
she didn't know how to
make the transition, so...
00:09:59.29\00:10:01.36
she got in contact with me...
we started working with her...
00:10:01.40\00:10:04.70
and amazingly, literally,
00:10:04.73\00:10:06.07
she had a disease
where she was actually taking
00:10:06.10\00:10:08.84
a lot of... it's a kind of
medication called Prednisone...
00:10:08.87\00:10:12.01
and the Prednisone was
causing her to gain weight,
00:10:12.04\00:10:14.44
believe it or not,
and within... literally...
00:10:14.48\00:10:16.81
again, it wasn't the 28 days...
it was a little longer than that
00:10:16.85\00:10:19.35
she stuck with it
for almost 2 or 3 months
00:10:19.38\00:10:21.08
by just changed her
lifestyle within a few months...
00:10:21.15\00:10:23.85
she literally saw...
she lost about 30 pounds...
00:10:23.89\00:10:26.39
she came off 90
percent of her medication...
00:10:26.42\00:10:28.89
she's found that...
when she started eating...
00:10:28.92\00:10:30.99
the things that she
wasn't supposed to eat...
00:10:31.06\00:10:33.09
because she would
find her joints would begin
00:10:33.13\00:10:34.86
swelling again...
and so she realized
00:10:34.93\00:10:36.90
as a Physician and
understanding that...
00:10:36.97\00:10:38.90
she said, she saw quantitative
and qualitative results...
00:10:38.93\00:10:42.24
as a result of changing her
lifestyle going on a plant-based
00:10:42.27\00:10:45.51
lifestyle... and so, I say,
00:10:45.57\00:10:47.54
"Look, I've seen it...
I've tasted it... it works... "
00:10:47.58\00:10:50.65
and so, God is good...
man... yeah, God is good...
00:10:50.68\00:10:53.68
He is... wow! wow!
00:10:53.75\00:10:55.35
so, what tools
will somebody need...
00:10:55.38\00:10:58.79
what tools will our
Dare to Dream Viewers need
00:10:58.82\00:11:01.92
to take on this challenge?
00:11:01.96\00:11:04.19
You want to answer Chef Lawson?
00:11:04.23\00:11:06.03
They're going to
need to buy things like
00:11:06.06\00:11:09.36
rice cookers, blenders,
we're going to use a lot of
00:11:09.40\00:11:14.90
healthy and fresh food...
00:11:14.94\00:11:16.60
and I think
actually there's going to be
00:11:16.64\00:11:18.71
there's going to be
up on the website...
00:11:18.74\00:11:20.08
a list of things
that they need...
00:11:20.11\00:11:21.44
We have it on the
website so you can learn
00:11:21.48\00:11:23.41
and kind of
follow along with it...
00:11:23.45\00:11:24.78
but what we're going to
do the concept of our Program
00:11:24.81\00:11:26.68
is that it's going
to be progressive...
00:11:26.72\00:11:28.05
so we're going to kind
of "prep" the individual...
00:11:28.08\00:11:30.45
"Prep" you and the
Viewer out there...
00:11:30.49\00:11:31.82
to kind of know what to
do as you keep on going...
00:11:31.85\00:11:34.22
and so, again, one
of the major tools is...
00:11:34.26\00:11:36.02
kind of... not like
an item to purchase...
00:11:36.06\00:11:37.76
but I think... the biggest
thing that each person needs
00:11:37.79\00:11:40.16
as they go on this Program...
is to have a willing heart...
00:11:40.20\00:11:42.50
that's the major
one thing... again...
00:11:42.53\00:11:44.60
you can look at
your heart as a tool...
00:11:44.63\00:11:46.43
if I'm working with you...
00:11:46.47\00:11:47.80
it's a tool that
God wants to work on...
00:11:47.84\00:11:49.17
if I'm working with that...
00:11:49.20\00:11:50.54
and so if the
willing heart is there
00:11:50.57\00:11:52.51
I believe that... again...
the things that we're teaching
00:11:52.57\00:11:54.91
will be easily be
able to be implemented...
00:11:54.94\00:11:56.91
and so, we're going to
take it step by step...
00:11:56.95\00:11:58.88
and again, we're going to
repeat a lot of the things
00:11:58.91\00:12:00.92
that we've been sharing...
and so that you're going to be
00:12:00.95\00:12:03.39
able... along with the 28
days, implement these things
00:12:03.45\00:12:05.85
step by step... and
that's kind of the idea
00:12:05.89\00:12:07.79
of the whole Program,
you know, so... yeah...
00:12:07.82\00:12:09.62
Now, a question that our Viewers
are dying to know from you...
00:12:09.66\00:12:13.63
they want to know...
00:12:13.66\00:12:15.03
"Have you all...
00:12:15.06\00:12:16.40
always been eating healthy?"
00:12:16.43\00:12:18.73
Have you always made
the right decision...
00:12:18.77\00:12:21.20
We don't want to talk about
that phase... come one now...
00:12:21.27\00:12:23.47
One of my favorite
things used to be Burger King...
00:12:23.51\00:12:26.17
Come on now... come on now...
Burger King... I like that...
00:12:26.21\00:12:28.34
It was always Burger King...
00:12:28.38\00:12:29.71
but, actually, I found out
about health at a young age...
00:12:29.74\00:12:33.48
so at 17-years-old, I
became a Vegan Vegetarian
00:12:33.52\00:12:37.12
and then, I went
to do some things
00:12:37.15\00:12:39.29
left that lifestyle...
and I got back in...
00:12:39.32\00:12:41.09
so I haven't been
eating healthy always...
00:12:41.12\00:12:43.63
but as I was growing
up my mom always fed us
00:12:43.66\00:12:46.06
meat protein... and she
always fed us vegetarian meals
00:12:46.09\00:12:49.70
and so, one day we
might have fried chicken
00:12:49.73\00:12:52.57
but then the next
day we might have...
00:12:52.60\00:12:53.97
just an all vegetarian meal
00:12:54.00\00:12:55.60
and so, I had that balance,
00:12:55.64\00:12:57.21
and so it was an easy
transition when I got older...
00:12:57.24\00:13:00.71
Mine was kind of similar
but not exactly the same,
00:13:00.74\00:13:04.05
I grew up around a family,
00:13:04.08\00:13:05.65
my uncles and my
aunts were vegetarians
00:13:05.68\00:13:07.32
but my family... man, oh man,
00:13:07.35\00:13:09.75
"give me the fried chicken"
00:13:09.78\00:13:12.12
you know what I'm saying...
fried chicken... barbeque sauce
00:13:12.15\00:13:14.32
my nose is sweating...
I'm dipping... I'm eating,
00:13:14.36\00:13:16.19
you know what I'm saying...
00:13:16.22\00:13:17.56
so every year we
had the cookouts...
00:13:17.59\00:13:18.93
I'd be eating the
ribs, eating the crabs,
00:13:18.96\00:13:20.90
you know what I'm
saying, the lobster, the shrimp,
00:13:20.93\00:13:22.76
that was our delicate meal,
you know what I'm saying...
00:13:22.80\00:13:24.63
so... the oodles and noodles,
00:13:24.67\00:13:26.00
got to add a
little cheese in there
00:13:26.03\00:13:27.67
a little meat on the side
of it, so, I grew up eating
00:13:27.70\00:13:30.04
pretty much whatever I
could find... you follow me
00:13:30.07\00:13:33.04
I'm a country boy...
so we ate squirrels...
00:13:33.07\00:13:35.71
not to go into
all that man... so...
00:13:35.74\00:13:38.55
Squirrels? anyway
I'm a country boy...
00:13:38.58\00:13:40.18
y'all might not know
what I'm talking about
00:13:40.22\00:13:42.25
y'all city folk out there
00:13:42.28\00:13:43.62
might not know what
I'm talking about...
00:13:43.65\00:13:44.99
I saw one of those
running across the street.
00:13:45.02\00:13:46.35
That was lunch...You saw
lunch running across the street
00:13:46.39\00:13:49.52
I'm a country boy,
00:13:49.56\00:13:51.89
that's how they did it,
00:13:51.93\00:13:53.29
so I ate what they gave
me you know what I mean... so
00:13:53.33\00:13:55.43
I guess you never
had to go to the store...
00:13:55.46\00:13:58.30
you went right outside
and picked your food...
00:13:58.33\00:14:00.94
Nah man, the good Lord
00:14:00.97\00:14:04.91
started convicting me
on the importance of health
00:14:04.94\00:14:07.68
as a result of learning
from my uncles and my aunts
00:14:07.71\00:14:10.71
who were vegetarians
they introduced to me
00:14:10.75\00:14:12.88
God's plan of healthy
living and so, at a young age,
00:14:12.91\00:14:15.95
even though I was
eating some things
00:14:15.98\00:14:17.32
I started implementing some of
those principles in my life...
00:14:17.35\00:14:19.35
by the time I was 18,
and I made the decision...
00:14:19.39\00:14:21.79
and actually it
was during that time...
00:14:21.82\00:14:23.43
me and Chef Lawson
met each other in college,
00:14:23.46\00:14:24.89
we were going to
Howard University
00:14:24.96\00:14:26.29
and during that same time
frame, I became a vegetarian...
00:14:26.33\00:14:28.86
and I remember man,
giving up the chicken Bro
00:14:28.90\00:14:31.13
it was almost like... man!
I was having withdrawals...
00:14:31.17\00:14:34.87
you know, people go on
withdrawals from other things...
00:14:34.90\00:14:37.27
I went on
withdrawal from chicken...
00:14:37.31\00:14:40.04
It's like
Kryptonite... come on now...
00:14:40.08\00:14:42.51
I remember the second
day, when I stopped eating the
00:14:42.54\00:14:45.81
chicken... my body
was just craving...
00:14:45.85\00:14:47.62
it was almost like I
was going into convulsions
00:14:47.65\00:14:49.55
I remember there was a Jamaican
guy outside of the school...
00:14:49.58\00:14:52.39
he was selling
chicken hot dogs...
00:14:52.42\00:14:53.96
chicken hot dogs...
that doesn't even sound good
00:14:54.02\00:14:57.29
so I'm just
eating the fried chicken
00:14:57.33\00:14:59.06
with the barbeque sauce
00:14:59.09\00:15:00.50
and I go outside...
and I'm going to get me
00:15:00.53\00:15:02.66
a chicken hot dog... and
I ate that chicken hot dog
00:15:02.70\00:15:05.10
and it was nasty...
I was so upset because
00:15:05.13\00:15:07.90
I didn't go to KFC or
go to some other place
00:15:07.94\00:15:09.57
and get the real chicken,
00:15:09.60\00:15:11.81
I got chicken hot dogs...
00:15:11.84\00:15:13.98
and I was so upset that
I got a chicken hot dog...
00:15:14.01\00:15:16.14
that was the last
time I had chicken...
00:15:16.18\00:15:18.05
so, I'll tell
you... Number One...
00:15:18.08\00:15:20.82
when you ask God to
change your taste buds...
00:15:20.88\00:15:23.35
He's able to do it...
00:15:23.39\00:15:24.72
and sometimes again...
it doesn't come... overnight
00:15:24.75\00:15:26.89
I still kind of... as
I was still transitioning
00:15:26.92\00:15:29.26
I might have eaten something
that I didn't want to eat...
00:15:29.32\00:15:31.59
but eventually,
within a year or so...
00:15:31.66\00:15:33.46
I was eating a plant-based
diet and a lot of it...
00:15:33.50\00:15:35.90
the one thing I want to stress,
is that... as you learn...
00:15:35.93\00:15:39.60
you can implement this
lifestyle Hmmm... hmmm...
00:15:39.63\00:15:41.50
You know, you can't
just go at times and say,
00:15:41.54\00:15:43.20
"I'm going to go
cold turkey" Overnight...
00:15:43.24\00:15:44.87
because if you don't
have the education...
00:15:44.91\00:15:46.24
you don't really
know what to eat...
00:15:46.27\00:15:47.61
you follow where I'm
coming from Oh yeah...
00:15:47.64\00:15:48.98
so there's a balance of
having the desire to change
00:15:49.01\00:15:52.55
but also getting the
knowledge and the education...
00:15:52.58\00:15:55.48
to implement the lifestyle...
and so that's the way to do it.
00:15:55.52\00:15:58.42
You have to
apply it... Exactly...
00:15:58.49\00:16:00.42
Exactly... And
it has an effect...
00:16:00.46\00:16:01.79
it has an effect... I
can remember... growing up
00:16:01.82\00:16:03.99
I had a horrible temper...
it went from one to one path
00:16:04.03\00:16:07.86
there was no middle game...
00:16:07.93\00:16:10.27
I was either "Not mad" or I was
"ready to burn the house down"
00:16:10.30\00:16:14.20
and so... it was that bad...
00:16:14.24\00:16:17.41
and I can remember... I
didn't know about the effects
00:16:17.44\00:16:20.94
on your temperament... your mood
00:16:20.98\00:16:22.61
but as soon as I
stopped eating meat
00:16:22.64\00:16:24.25
and started eating
more plant-based...
00:16:24.31\00:16:25.88
I was able to
control my temper...
00:16:25.91\00:16:27.32
I was able to feel it rise,
and was able to calm myself down
00:16:27.35\00:16:30.95
and I wasn't perfect,
but I was able to control it
00:16:30.99\00:16:33.96
so I saw benefits immediately
by switching my diet...
00:16:33.99\00:16:36.93
and it's very true what they
say... "You are what you eat"
00:16:36.96\00:16:41.03
you can tell by when
you eat certain meals...
00:16:41.06\00:16:44.23
you feel sluggish after you eat,
00:16:44.27\00:16:46.50
you feel tired... you feel like
you just need to go and lie down
00:16:46.53\00:16:49.07
and things like
that... Exactly... exactly...
00:16:49.10\00:16:50.74
we all know about
that and how it feels...
00:16:50.77\00:16:53.04
We know exactly
what I'm talking about...
00:16:53.07\00:16:55.28
and also, going back to what
you said earlier about it...
00:16:55.31\00:16:58.35
you can transform your diet
00:16:58.38\00:17:00.25
I've said this before,
it's great that we serve a God
00:17:00.28\00:17:04.25
that is in the
business of restoration
00:17:04.29\00:17:07.19
and transformation...
That's right... that's it...
00:17:07.26\00:17:08.92
we've all had
different walks in life...
00:17:08.96\00:17:10.66
we've all made
different decisions
00:17:10.69\00:17:12.33
whether it's diet
based or real-life based...
00:17:12.36\00:17:16.87
Exactly... Hmmm... hmmm...
00:17:16.90\00:17:18.23
and God has seen us
00:17:18.27\00:17:20.24
through those times...
00:17:20.27\00:17:22.40
and put us in a
better position. Exactly...
00:17:22.44\00:17:23.77
as long as we seek
Him, so... Exactly...
00:17:23.81\00:17:26.04
I mean, that's amazing...
and what you guys are doing
00:17:26.07\00:17:29.44
with this FORK
System... is great...
00:17:29.48\00:17:31.21
Yeah, exactly...
that's the whole model...
00:17:31.28\00:17:33.31
it's a practical way to
transform someone's life...
00:17:33.35\00:17:37.19
you know, so again, it has to be
something that people can touch,
00:17:37.22\00:17:40.26
and is tangible to them...
00:17:40.32\00:17:42.06
you know, again,
having theories and concepts
00:17:42.09\00:17:44.23
is not God's answer...
God wants it to be something
00:17:44.29\00:17:47.30
that you can again...
apply to your everyday life...
00:17:47.30\00:17:49.73
that's what it's all
about... that's the gospel...
00:17:49.76\00:17:52.33
And it has to be something
that's not difficult...
00:17:52.37\00:17:54.37
Exactly...
00:17:54.40\00:17:55.74
some people might
hear vegan vegetarian...
00:17:55.77\00:17:57.11
they're ready to
put it here they wonder,
00:17:57.14\00:17:58.47
"What do I do, what do I eat,
00:17:58.51\00:18:00.08
how am I going to get this,
and how am I going to get that?"
00:18:00.11\00:18:01.64
and we go through all that
stuff doing the FORK System
00:18:01.68\00:18:04.35
and they're going to
see just how easy it is...
00:18:04.38\00:18:06.75
to transition...
00:18:06.78\00:18:08.12
and just how good the
food actually tastes...
00:18:08.15\00:18:10.89
That's right... And we
love good-tasting food...
00:18:10.92\00:18:13.72
But... touch on the subject
00:18:13.79\00:18:17.16
of Organization
00:18:17.19\00:18:19.23
and why that is so
important in the kitchen...
00:18:19.26\00:18:21.66
Why is it
important to be organized?
00:18:21.70\00:18:23.47
Let's go... I want to
re-cap on the 4 points
00:18:23.50\00:18:26.53
So the Organizational point...
we're going to be talking about,
00:18:26.57\00:18:29.30
again, we're talking
about the Kitchen Organization
00:18:29.34\00:18:31.57
and I believe that
that's one of the foundational
00:18:31.61\00:18:33.78
things that has to be done...
your kitchen has to be organized
00:18:33.84\00:18:36.48
so what we do... the
reason why we do this is
00:18:36.51\00:18:38.41
because, again, when it
comes to cooking healthy...
00:18:38.45\00:18:40.68
you have to be in sync,
00:18:40.72\00:18:42.05
you have to have
things set up properly
00:18:42.08\00:18:43.95
you have to know which
ingredients to even use...
00:18:43.99\00:18:46.65
Hmmm... hmmm... so
we go step by step...
00:18:46.69\00:18:48.26
showing you exactly which
ingredients to purchase...
00:18:48.29\00:18:51.09
we show you step by step
00:18:51.13\00:18:52.73
showing you how to
organize your kitchen
00:18:52.76\00:18:55.13
how to put this cabinet
and set up these ingredients...
00:18:55.16\00:18:57.83
so for example...
in the morning time...
00:18:57.87\00:18:59.30
you're going to eat simple...
let's say... a breakfast meal...
00:18:59.33\00:19:02.30
all of us love
oatmeal, right? Hmmm... hmmm...
00:19:02.34\00:19:04.31
So we set up an Oatmeal Station
00:19:04.34\00:19:05.67
you follow
where I'm coming from?
00:19:05.71\00:19:07.48
You got your
grains... your oatmeal
00:19:07.51\00:19:09.24
and even other grains
you can have for breakfast...
00:19:09.28\00:19:11.25
but how to actually have
your different seasonings...
00:19:11.28\00:19:13.21
such as your
cinnamon, or your coriander,
00:19:13.25\00:19:17.02
or your raisins and
your nuts and your almonds
00:19:17.05\00:19:20.79
and your walnuts and
your pecans and your craisins,
00:19:20.82\00:19:22.56
the apricots... all that...
you can put it in a nice station
00:19:22.59\00:19:24.93
and then in the morning time,
Brother... when you wake up...
00:19:24.96\00:19:27.50
you just put that oatmeal
on, put it inside that bowl...
00:19:27.56\00:19:30.00
I'm talking about some good
old-fashioned eating, man...
00:19:30.03\00:19:32.47
So, again, we go
over that kind of stuff...
00:19:32.53\00:19:35.60
we also talk about
personal organization...
00:19:35.64\00:19:38.71
Okay... meaning that my life
00:19:38.74\00:19:40.51
has to be
organized... Oh yeah...
00:19:40.54\00:19:42.41
meaning again if
everything is all over the place
00:19:42.44\00:19:44.81
in our lives... are
we going to even have
00:19:44.85\00:19:46.72
the time to even think
about... eating healthy...
00:19:46.75\00:19:49.28
if the priorities in our lives
aren't in the right place...
00:19:49.32\00:19:52.65
it's difficult to get
them to make transitions
00:19:52.72\00:19:54.66
on different things... so we
talk about personal organization
00:19:54.69\00:19:58.23
we also talk about...
00:19:58.26\00:19:59.59
what I think is
very important also...
00:19:59.63\00:20:00.96
about different tools...
some of the most important tools
00:20:00.96\00:20:03.30
that you need in your kitchen...
00:20:03.33\00:20:04.93
to again, automate the process
of cooking healthy as well...
00:20:04.97\00:20:09.67
so we go over things such
as... how to use a knife...
00:20:09.70\00:20:11.94
people say, "I
know how to use a knife"
00:20:11.97\00:20:14.24
but many times we don't
know the different knives
00:20:14.28\00:20:15.94
and what their names are,
00:20:15.98\00:20:17.31
or even how to use
those different knives...
00:20:17.35\00:20:18.78
And their functions exactly...
00:20:18.81\00:20:20.28
we talk about, as well,
we go over the rice cooker...
00:20:20.32\00:20:23.75
we talk about the griddle...
and just how you use those tools
00:20:23.79\00:20:26.59
and the blender, you know,
again a key tool for the kitchen
00:20:26.62\00:20:31.13
so, organization
dealing with all of that...
00:20:31.16\00:20:33.36
and so it's power
packed really power packed...
00:20:33.40\00:20:35.50
so it's really good...
00:20:35.56\00:20:36.90
Okay, also, one thing
you said, it's fast too...
00:20:36.93\00:20:42.24
you can eat healthy
but you can make it fast...
00:20:42.27\00:20:45.61
which is so, so, so
important in this Society...
00:20:45.64\00:20:48.94
because... let's face it...
we live in a microwave society,
00:20:48.98\00:20:51.41
and we want it now... Exactly...
00:20:51.45\00:20:54.62
so, for it to be fast, easy,
00:20:54.65\00:20:57.39
people are more likely
to make that transition...
00:20:57.42\00:21:00.16
Exactly... they're
more likely to use it...
00:21:00.19\00:21:01.52
And we emphasize that...
that's why the Organizational
00:21:01.56\00:21:05.26
component is so critical...
00:21:05.29\00:21:06.80
because the more
organized you are...
00:21:06.86\00:21:08.23
the more "system" you have...
00:21:08.26\00:21:10.30
for any business...
when you have systems
00:21:10.33\00:21:12.63
and operations in place...
00:21:12.67\00:21:14.00
everything kind
of goes automated...
00:21:14.04\00:21:15.70
so, again, our
lifestyles can become like that
00:21:15.74\00:21:18.77
we can have things such in a way
00:21:18.81\00:21:20.14
that when we get up it's
just kind of like clockwork
00:21:20.18\00:21:22.11
again, you put the beans on
at night... in the crockpot...
00:21:22.14\00:21:24.51
when you wake up in
the morning, guess what?
00:21:24.55\00:21:25.91
The beans are done...
you got soup for the next day
00:21:25.95\00:21:28.45
for dinner or
even... take it for lunch...
00:21:28.48\00:21:30.19
and so, again we talk about
all those little simple tips
00:21:30.22\00:21:33.15
how to make it
easy... and quick...
00:21:33.19\00:21:35.09
for you to do... right at home
00:21:35.12\00:21:36.59
Well, okay...
well, you know what
00:21:36.62\00:21:38.39
let's go to the "Faith Section"
00:21:38.43\00:21:40.13
Come on now... so,
why is "Faith" important?
00:21:40.16\00:21:43.57
Why is it
important to have Faith...
00:21:43.60\00:21:44.93
I want you to answer this...
00:21:44.97\00:21:46.37
I want you to come on
in and answer this one...
00:21:46.40\00:21:50.04
Anybody who
studies health and diet...
00:21:50.07\00:21:52.41
we know that out
there in the world
00:21:52.44\00:21:54.78
that diet and
spirituality are connected...
00:21:54.84\00:21:57.45
in a bunch of
all other religions
00:21:57.48\00:22:00.25
that are in the world...
they connect these two things...
00:22:00.28\00:22:02.22
but most of the
time you don't find it
00:22:02.25\00:22:03.75
connected in Christianity and
and we want to show people that
00:22:03.79\00:22:06.65
all these principles of health
00:22:06.72\00:22:08.36
all these principles of
healthy eating and living
00:22:08.39\00:22:10.09
are directly from the Bible...
and so what we've pulled out
00:22:10.13\00:22:13.06
is 28... I like to
call them "Power Promises"
00:22:13.09\00:22:15.56
and we go through these promises
00:22:15.60\00:22:17.10
and how you can
get closer to Christ...
00:22:17.13\00:22:19.00
and how...
getting closer to Christ
00:22:19.03\00:22:21.37
physically... by
eating good foods...
00:22:21.40\00:22:23.64
also is proportionate to
what God wants to do for you
00:22:23.67\00:22:26.37
spiritually... in your life...
and so, you can't separate
00:22:26.41\00:22:29.04
the two because you
could eat healthy...
00:22:29.08\00:22:31.08
and not get closer to
Christ... and really miss
00:22:31.11\00:22:33.18
the everlasting blessing...
that you really should achieve
00:22:33.21\00:22:35.92
and you could get closer
to Christ and not know that
00:22:35.95\00:22:38.22
maybe your relationship
could be different...
00:22:38.25\00:22:40.19
if your mind was more clear,
00:22:40.22\00:22:41.66
or if your body was
functioning better...
00:22:41.69\00:22:43.29
and you could
enjoy optimal health
00:22:43.32\00:22:44.96
not only in this life...
but in the next life to come.
00:22:44.99\00:22:47.23
Hmmm... amen...
00:22:47.23\00:22:48.56
We're about to have
Church here Brother...
00:22:48.60\00:22:51.00
with a big "Praise the
Lord" right... right...
00:22:51.03\00:22:53.57
We get all
excited... we get all excited...
00:22:53.60\00:22:56.04
So, faith is extremely
important and we know that
00:22:56.07\00:23:00.04
faith is very important...
00:23:00.08\00:23:01.41
we just wanted to break it down
for our Viewers a little bit...
00:23:01.44\00:23:03.65
but what about recipes...
why can't I just pour this in
00:23:03.68\00:23:07.65
and pour that
in... and pour this in...
00:23:07.68\00:23:10.35
and just pray and
hope for a good meal...
00:23:10.39\00:23:13.05
That's a good question, man...
because recipes obviously...
00:23:13.09\00:23:15.99
we need to have knowledge
of how to cook this way...
00:23:16.02\00:23:17.73
we're getting
used to eating again,
00:23:17.76\00:23:19.66
we're talking about
vegan... we're talking about
00:23:19.69\00:23:21.00
cutting out the dairy...
00:23:21.03\00:23:22.36
we're talking about
not eating the meat...
00:23:22.40\00:23:24.27
and so, a lot of the things
that we're used to eating...
00:23:24.30\00:23:27.54
we have to replace...
00:23:27.57\00:23:28.90
and so, again, we want
to make it practical where
00:23:28.94\00:23:31.57
as you can learn how
to replace those things...
00:23:31.61\00:23:34.31
and what we find is that, again,
once we learn those ingredients
00:23:34.34\00:23:37.88
that can replace the things
that we're used to eating...
00:23:37.91\00:23:40.18
we find that it's
really the same thing...
00:23:40.22\00:23:42.28
I would like to tell
people who eat chicken,
00:23:42.32\00:23:43.95
I used to eat a
lot of fried chicken...
00:23:43.99\00:23:46.52
again, so, when
you make fried chicken,
00:23:46.55\00:23:49.06
if it's not seasoned good...
00:23:49.09\00:23:50.46
it doesn't taste
good... absolutely not...
00:23:50.49\00:23:52.79
Have you ever had a
bland piece of fried chicken?
00:23:52.83\00:23:54.93
Yeah... Exactly...
00:23:54.93\00:23:56.26
and so, obviously again...
00:23:56.30\00:23:57.77
if you don't season it properly,
it's not going to taste good...
00:23:57.80\00:23:59.83
the same is true
when you make your
00:23:59.87\00:24:01.57
Vegan Chicken... if you
follow where I'm coming from...
00:24:01.60\00:24:03.77
you understand where
I'm coming from... so,
00:24:03.81\00:24:05.14
and we talk about all of
that and so, again, the recipes
00:24:05.17\00:24:08.64
are for people
to see practically
00:24:08.68\00:24:10.45
how it can actually be done...
00:24:10.48\00:24:12.21
and then we want
to empower the Viewer
00:24:12.25\00:24:14.68
to be able to
actually do it... at home...
00:24:14.72\00:24:17.05
and so we make it really simple,
we're not doing complex recipes
00:24:17.09\00:24:20.06
these recipes can be learned
in a matter of minutes...
00:24:20.09\00:24:22.52
and then they can
go right in the kitchen
00:24:22.56\00:24:24.03
and do it right at home, man...
and they start it immediately
00:24:24.06\00:24:26.66
which is our goal... and so,
that's what we're looking for...
00:24:26.70\00:24:29.23
That's great... and
what the knowledge...
00:24:29.26\00:24:32.90
I mean, it's so important
to impart knowledge on others
00:24:32.93\00:24:37.74
and share
knowledge among others...
00:24:37.77\00:24:39.31
so, what do you hope
that our Viewers take...
00:24:39.34\00:24:44.81
from the whole System?
00:24:44.85\00:24:46.82
Well, it's kind of
like "sitting in class"
00:24:46.85\00:24:51.72
and if there's never
any quiz, never any test...
00:24:51.75\00:24:54.19
or anything like that...
then you're just listening...
00:24:54.22\00:24:57.09
but you won't retain
anything, and so, we hope the
00:24:57.13\00:24:59.49
knowledge part will
make you pay more attention,
00:24:59.53\00:25:01.86
it will make you
catch those fine points
00:25:01.93\00:25:04.27
that we're were trying
to go over in the show...
00:25:04.30\00:25:05.63
so that you actually
00:25:05.67\00:25:07.00
are paying attention
to what you're doing,
00:25:07.04\00:25:08.60
you're actually
retaining the information...
00:25:08.64\00:25:10.44
and if you don't retain it...
00:25:10.47\00:25:11.81
you won't be able
to use it afterwards...
00:25:11.84\00:25:13.17
it might be a nice
show, it might be fun,
00:25:13.21\00:25:15.24
it might entertain you,
but then after the TV is off
00:25:15.28\00:25:17.81
or the camera is off...
you're not left with anything
00:25:17.85\00:25:20.32
but a feeling... and we
want you to be left with
00:25:20.35\00:25:22.75
not just a feeling...
but tools to empower you...
00:25:22.78\00:25:25.15
and live this
lifestyle... Amen... amen...
00:25:25.19\00:25:27.56
I'm spiritually
hungry, I'm physically hungry,
00:25:27.59\00:25:29.92
I'm hoping that
you're all preaching
00:25:30.06\00:25:31.43
and we're eating...
that's it... That's it...
00:25:31.46\00:25:34.83
As I'd like to say...
we're going to give you
00:25:34.86\00:25:36.20
"Something to Chew
on" That's right...
00:25:36.23\00:25:37.73
something to chew on...
yeah... yeah... that's right...
00:25:37.77\00:25:39.10
So we're going to
make some bread...
00:25:39.13\00:25:40.47
and then we're going
to break some bread...
00:25:40.50\00:25:41.84
That's it... that's
right... that's right... yeah...
00:25:41.87\00:25:43.87
That's deep... so,
what are your final thoughts
00:25:43.91\00:25:47.38
for our Viewers?
00:25:47.41\00:25:48.74
I think the last point I
would say... I think that...
00:25:48.78\00:25:53.48
God has something special
for all of us in this journey...
00:25:53.52\00:25:56.15
it's not just another...
00:25:56.18\00:25:57.92
I guess you can
say... "cooking program"
00:25:57.95\00:25:59.62
you can watch all kinds of
networks with cooking programs
00:25:59.65\00:26:02.96
Hmmm... hmmm... this,
I believe, is going to be
00:26:03.02\00:26:04.83
if you're looking for revival...
not only in your health,
00:26:04.86\00:26:07.60
but spiritually...
00:26:07.66\00:26:09.00
one of the things that
we want to really uplift
00:26:09.03\00:26:10.47
in this Program is... is Christ
00:26:10.50\00:26:12.33
because He's the one
that gives us the power to
00:26:12.37\00:26:14.90
to do all of these things...
00:26:14.94\00:26:16.27
He's the one that's going
to teach us along this journey
00:26:16.30\00:26:19.31
and so, we're
learning... Chef Lawson and I...
00:26:19.34\00:26:21.31
we're
learning... as we're sharing
00:26:21.34\00:26:22.68
the Viewers are going
to be learning... so...
00:26:22.71\00:26:25.35
I'm just really...
00:26:25.38\00:26:26.72
my prayer, most
importantly is that...
00:26:26.75\00:26:28.08
if you're looking for
revival in your experience...
00:26:28.12\00:26:30.35
we're going to be reading
through the book of Matthew...
00:26:30.39\00:26:31.92
that's going to
be something special
00:26:31.95\00:26:33.32
that we're going to be
doing... we got 28 days...
00:26:33.36\00:26:35.52
the book of
Matthew has 28 chapters...
00:26:35.56\00:26:37.93
and so we're going to be
looking at the book of Matthew
00:26:37.96\00:26:40.53
and we're learning all about
Christ... and how He worked.
00:26:40.56\00:26:43.03
Anything... did we
leave out Chef Lawson?
00:26:43.06\00:26:44.97
Well, I just have
one thing to take away...
00:26:45.00\00:26:46.90
if anybody is
looking for a change...
00:26:46.94\00:26:48.70
they're tired of the way
they're living... physically...
00:26:48.74\00:26:51.31
tired of the way
they're living spiritually...
00:26:51.34\00:26:52.74
then this is
the show... for them
00:26:52.81\00:26:54.48
it's a faith-based show...
00:26:54.51\00:26:56.24
and we really wanted to
incorporate... spirituality...
00:26:56.31\00:26:59.58
and something most people
don't see... like cooking...
00:26:59.61\00:27:01.95
most cooking shows...
all they do is cook...
00:27:01.98\00:27:03.92
we wanted to
00:27:03.95\00:27:05.29
"cook in the kitchen and
cook outside the kitchen"
00:27:05.35\00:27:07.06
Come on now... I like that...
00:27:07.09\00:27:08.42
and so if anybody
that's looking for a change...
00:27:08.46\00:27:10.59
and if you're
watching this show...
00:27:10.63\00:27:12.36
you found the right show...
Exactly... exactly... exactly...
00:27:12.43\00:27:17.30
Is there a
scripture of encouragement
00:27:17.33\00:27:19.40
that you can offer
for these next 28 days?
00:27:19.43\00:27:21.77
I got one... I
think the one that comes
00:27:21.80\00:27:24.27
to mind is in
Psalms... it says that
00:27:24.31\00:27:27.48
"O taste and see
that the Lord is good:
00:27:27.51\00:27:30.98
blessed is the man
that trusteth in Him. "
00:27:31.01\00:27:34.42
And so I would say...
as the Viewers go on this
00:27:34.45\00:27:36.99
28-day Challenge...
we have to realize that
00:27:37.02\00:27:39.52
when we taste
God's way... it's good...
00:27:39.55\00:27:41.82
and at the same time...
00:27:41.86\00:27:43.19
even though at times
we're going through change and
00:27:43.22\00:27:45.19
or maybe letting go of some
things that we're used to...
00:27:45.23\00:27:47.30
some of the food that we
might be used to eating...
00:27:47.36\00:27:49.16
that God is going to say,
00:27:49.23\00:27:50.57
"Guess what, if you trust in me
I'm going to give you the power,
00:27:50.60\00:27:53.70
I'm going to give
you the strength...
00:27:53.74\00:27:55.14
I'm going to give us... "
00:27:55.17\00:27:56.50
He's going to give us
everything that we need
00:27:56.54\00:27:58.04
to be able to endure...
all the way unto the end...
00:27:58.11\00:28:00.34
and so, I say,
"Listen, God is good... "
00:28:00.38\00:28:01.98
I like to say...
God is going to say...
00:28:02.01\00:28:03.55
"Oh taste and Chew
that God is good" amen...
00:28:03.58\00:28:06.01
You all know what I mean...
00:28:06.05\00:28:07.38
Yeah, yeah, you're
taking us to Church...
00:28:07.42\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...
00:28:11.59\00:28:12.99
Okay...
wonderful... wonderful...
00:28:13.05\00:28:15.16
thank you so
much for joining us...
00:28:15.19\00:28:16.89
I am looking forward to
"Chew's 28-Day Challenge"
00:28:16.93\00:28:20.60
and I know our
Viewers are too...
00:28:20.63\00:28:22.33
the ability to
lead a healthy lifestyle
00:28:22.36\00:28:25.03
while being
organized and spiritually fed
00:28:25.10\00:28:27.70
is truly a blessing if
you have a health concern,
00:28:27.74\00:28:30.11
make sure to check
with your physician first...
00:28:30.14\00:28:32.44
and let him know
what you're doing...
00:28:32.47\00:28:34.54
if approved, make the commitment
00:28:34.58\00:28:36.44
to join us every day
