just one long podcast. One of the top shows is

Major League Baseball, and basketball. No, you can get into

dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey, how are you doing today, Marty?
10
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.799
Dude? I am. I'm doing really good. I'm doing better
11
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:40.840
than I should be.
12
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.799
Really, that's a good place to be in this day
13
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.840
of questions, man, because we are flooded with questions and
14
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:50.079
then you come along and you're giving us brand new music.
15
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.399
So at least we can find some answers inside those lyrics.
16
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.399
Ooh boy, that would be the god part. That's not
17
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.280
my part. But yeah, Amen, what is it like for
18
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:00.280
you to play that role?
19
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.079
Because I mean, that's a very interesting thing that you
20
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:04.120
just said, because a lot of people when when it
21
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.439
comes to my Christian background and my strength and believing
22
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:08.719
in Jesus, I mean, they'll look at me and they'll
23
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.239
they'll see, Okay, so you're a radio guy and you're
24
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.359
a Christian. No, they're the same person, dude, they're the
25
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:13.959
same person.
26
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:25.280
Amen, God uses Uh, he'll use a donkey, right.
27
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:27.400
Amen.
28
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.719
I'm glad I'm not a rock because he said he'd
29
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:30.959
use those too well.
30
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.560
But but but Peter was the rock and that's why
31
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.280
he called him that. And look what he did with
32
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:37.439
that rock. He turned it into churches that went around
33
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:37.879
the world.
34
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.680
Amen. He got that rock and now he's on the
35
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:42.719
roll what.
36
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.239
To be a part of music even today. This this
37
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:54.079
really inspires me because so many people think that they
38
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.079
can hit a certain level when it comes to our
39
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:58.599
relationship with Christ and they think, Okay, that's all the
40
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.120
farther I'm gonna grow And it's like, no, it's a continuation.
41
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.719
The entire book is about continuation, and you're proving that
42
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.439
with with with your music. It's like it just keeps
43
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:08.560
growing forward.
44
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.840
Oh man, I appreciate you saying that. That's a confirmation
45
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.319
it was. I mean, I'm not gonna lie, you know
46
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:22.159
with UH. As the world spends in every year, UH
47
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:26.680
stacks on the other and I find myself getting much
48
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.759
older and I feel like Indiana Jones and the first
49
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.599
arc movie of you know, it's it's not the years,
50
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:34.479
it's the mileage.
51
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:34.840
Yeah.
52
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:39.879
And I really feel like at this point in my
53
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.800
life it is a miracle. I mean, it's kind of
54
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.080
a Sarah thing if I go that far of just
55
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:52.479
seeing how God called my family and I out of Franklin, Tennessee,
56
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.560
back in twenty ten to move to Denver, of all places.
57
00:02:58.599 --> 00:02:59.319
Wow.
58
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:04.719
And yeah, and we've in confirmation after confirmation, and that's
59
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.840
another that would take too much time. But really knowing
60
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:11.080
without a doubt, with the peace of God in our home,
61
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.960
that God did say go to Denvery. The Holy Spirit
62
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.080
said there's a green light. I want you to go
63
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.120
to Denver. Didn't know what it was really for. I
64
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.000
was going to help a buddy start a church which
65
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.280
is still growing and is pretty big today here. But
66
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:32.080
as I was helping him with that, Valor Christian High
67
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:38.199
School just came out of the blue and God showed
68
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.240
and confirmed to me and Jeff, my partner in the
69
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.159
church plant, that only God could have orchestrated that. Had
70
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:51.960
I not been out here in Denver, poised and ready
71
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.759
when the opportunity opened, I would have never been able
72
00:03:56.360 --> 00:04:00.439
to jump into that position. And so for the last
73
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:06.080
fifteen years, I've been an educator, teaching high school. And
74
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:12.240
during that time, you know, I'm teaching songwriting, study, recording production,
75
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.319
all those things that you know any high school teachers.
76
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.360
I'm kidding, it's so unusual.
77
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.800
I always had I had a meet back in high school,
78
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.959
but with technology and all the stuff that we're doing
79
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.839
during the handing off of whatever I have over the
80
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:34.519
years to the next generation, and just they had confirmation
81
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:38.519
again after confirmation of God just saying, hey, this is
82
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.839
what I've I've really called you to do. And quite frankly,
83
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.040
er I didn't think I would ever use my degree
84
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.120
because as soon as I graduated from college, I jumped
85
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.199
on the tour bus for thirty years of my life.
86
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.399
But this is how God works because during that time,
87
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:05.399
last about this time, as he began to really download
88
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:11.560
messages to me and just said, okay, listen, you have
89
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:18.879
vicariously been writing through teenagers for the last fourteen years.
90
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:24.519
Then and he said, I, but I've called you to create,
91
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:30.319
and I really need you to write some songs that
92
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:37.079
echo my heart right now in this era of the world.
93
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.600
And when he gave me the first one coming down,
94
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.759
I thought, oh wow, nobody, nobody writes about this, and
95
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.519
I thought how I said, Okay, God, I want to
96
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.519
be a good steward with this. I want to be
97
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.519
able to justify the message. I want to make the
98
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.560
right track. I want to I don't want to be cheeseball.
99
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:05.160
I don't want it to be banal, hackneyed, cliched.
100
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:05.759
Or any of that stuff.
101
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:11.720
I really want it to justify the message that is
102
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.040
going to be pure from your heart, to get to
103
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:19.639
the people, to really lay out the whole truth of
104
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.480
the Second Advent of Jesus, because he is his feet
105
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:24.759
are going to hit the mount of Olive it and
106
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.959
that ground is going to split in two. And whether
107
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:33.439
you're pre mid post pre wrath, whatever you are with
108
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:39.240
the rapture, time blind, it doesn't matter because at the
109
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:44.319
end of that seven year period, Jesus' feet are gonna
110
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.120
make contact, and he is going to rule and reign
111
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.959
for a thousand years, and we're going to rule with him.
112
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:52.800
That scripture is very clear about that.
113
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:57.079
And he wanted me to write this as just not
114
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:03.240
in your face arrogant, but in your face as a truth,
115
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:07.759
as Jesus who will not be returning as the lamb,
116
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:15.120
but as the lion, and I thought, okay, well, let
117
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.560
me roll up my sleeves. So last summer I wrote
118
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:22.639
the song, started making the track, and as soon as
119
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:28.560
I did, he downloaded another one and it was, you know,
120
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.319
one of my frustrations as a teacher, the whole anomaly
121
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:38.680
of dopamine and screen time. Yeah, the teenage Oh my gosh,
122
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.720
he's teenagers are just I mean, seriously, Arrow, there are
123
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:49.000
guys that are just incredible boys, great athletes, and you know,
124
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.399
in all other eyes they're normal, but they're just so
125
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.000
glued to the phone. I'll tell them all right, Evan,
126
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.639
he's gonna hate that. I said his name, Evan. Put
127
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.639
the phone down, bro, come on, I'll keep going. Oh yes, sir,
128
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.879
I'm sorry. Puts it down. I walk around and get
129
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.240
back to the table. He's got it in his hand again,
130
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:10.800
and I was like Evan, and he's like, oh, oh,
131
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:12.519
I'm so sorry, and he put it down and I
132
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:17.519
could tell he just he couldn't help himself. And it
133
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.800
has been pressing on me to see the screen time
134
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.839
replacing though in the word time. You know, we hold
135
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:33.320
the world in our hand, but really, God, wants us
136
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.240
to hold his word in our heart and especially.
137
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:37.679
In these days.
138
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:43.399
And he said, right, get it out there, because we
139
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:47.120
got to make sure they understand this is serious now.
140
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:48.919
Because there's not a whole lot of time left.
141
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:52.799
I use this screen I use this song screen Time
142
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:55.480
as a great lesson to teach. And the reason why
143
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.279
is because I work at a grocery store just for
144
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.000
the fun of it, because I love people, and I
145
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.720
believe that a true urch is in a grocery store
146
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.279
because that's community. You don't have to come dressed up
147
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:08.679
like a Sunday morning. That's everybody, every walk of life, tall, small, big,
148
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.440
you name it, poor, rich, everything. And so I look
149
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.200
at the being at the grocery store as being a
150
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.600
church and a song like screen Time. I will put
151
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.279
my teens over there at self checkout and they'll grab
152
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.519
that phone. I'll say, do you know what if that
153
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:23.480
mystery shopper comes through here and you get busted on
154
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.039
that phone, you're turning your back on Christ. And they go,
155
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.039
what what are you talking about? Because that mystery shopper
156
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.039
could be God coming in here saying, Hey, you see
157
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:32.440
that person over there in aisle number two. They need
158
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:34.960
you right Now you may not be something holy, but
159
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.720
they're gonna need something to make their life better because
160
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.720
they're bringing their weight into this store.
161
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.360
Dude. That's good. Yeah, because that's just looked towards the
162
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.240
end of the chorus that says you can't hear Jesus cost.
163
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:51.600
That's why I was. That's exactly it.
164
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:58.159
Oh that's good man, that's good.
165
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.639
So that tells me that you're a people watch your
166
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.159
ear is on the ground, that you really do listen
167
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.480
and you pay attention. And it's almost like life has
168
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.559
become your book to study. And when you've got questions,
169
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.440
guess who's there. It's not Chad GPT, it's the big guy.
170
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:17.240
Amen. That's right. And it's funny you bring up the AI.
171
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.480
Problem, and I mean tool we've all used AI for
172
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:27.279
years just in Google searches. But you know this is
173
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:31.320
where I as a teacher. Oh boy, now we're going
174
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.159
to get into another area. I can't go there. I
175
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.840
can't go down that hole. But the AI thing is
176
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:40.240
I made it a point when I started writing new
177
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:45.559
songs to just pray the night before, pray in the
178
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.720
morning before I start the day, and really seek God
179
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:53.039
on my face about giving me wisdom and opening my
180
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.480
heart and my ears to be able to take the
181
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.440
download from him and parse it out without.
182
00:10:59.240 --> 00:10:59.879
The use of AI.
183
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.000
And it's, uh, it's the way we always did it.
184
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:06.320
I mean, this is old school.
185
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.600
It's so weird to say that old school, but that's
186
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:11.360
the way it was back in the day with the
187
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:17.000
publishing deals. And you know, I uh, I'm so thankful
188
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:21.320
for the fact that he gives the wisdom, he gives
189
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:25.639
the lyric, he gives the melody, he gives everything you
190
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:31.799
need as an artist to carve out exactly what he
191
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:35.919
means to say in the way he wants it to said,
192
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:38.519
without having, you know.
193
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.440
To succumb to you know, the chief tricks.
194
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.879
Now I'm you know, I'm guilty, uh leslie, you know,
195
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.360
connected us with him. I had to write my bio,
196
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:51.960
uh for I forgot. I guess it was for coming
197
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:55.120
down and we put all the bullet points out. But
198
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.200
I just thought, man, I do not have done. I
199
00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:59.759
was working on schoolwork on the couch in my living
200
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:04.039
room and my life just said we just use chat
201
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:04.879
and I thought.
202
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.279
What, yeah, yeah yeah.
203
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.559
But then I did and I looked at it. I
204
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:11.639
was like, oh my gosh, this is really good.
205
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:15.320
I changed a few things, but you know, full disclosure,
206
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:18.919
that's that's what I did. But sometimes in a pitch,
207
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:22.080
it is a tool and as long as you give
208
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.120
the input, it will do it. But at the end
209
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:27.759
of the day, the best chat out there is Jesus, absolutely,
210
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:29.039
Holy Spirit.
211
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.039
Please do not move. There's more with Marty McGehee coming
212
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:36.440
up next. Two songs, a third one on the Way,
213
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:40.600
and a history that will totally blow you away. We
214
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:44.720
are back with singer songwriter Marty Mcgeehey, don't you love
215
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:49.440
the way that worship bands have become so amazingly attractive
216
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.000
inside the church? Now people will come just for the
217
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.639
worship band. That's what I go through at elevation worship
218
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.320
is the fact that before Pastor Furdy gets up on
219
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.840
that at that pullpit, I mean, we go through the
220
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.200
experience of elevation worship. And so I and I look
221
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:03.840
at people like yourself and you still being in the
222
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:05.759
church as active as you are. I'm going I know
223
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:08.320
what you're doing. You're not just warming up the people.
224
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:12.559
You're planting a message before even a bigger message is
225
00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:13.559
going to be released.
226
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:19.120
Heymen, that's the that's the process, that's the way it
227
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.559
was with the with the temple. Yes, you know that's
228
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:25.360
the that's the way it was laid out. And you're right, bro.
229
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:29.519
Uh, as long as our flesh is.
230
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:31.759
Not a part, Uh, you bring up a really good
231
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:36.200
subject as far as excellence is concerned. Because everybody wants
232
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:40.399
some sort of a worship deal these days. Yes, and
233
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.759
I get it because that kind of replaces some of
234
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:47.360
the most of artistry in the Christian sector.
235
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.000
But my take is.
236
00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:52.519
That, you know, yeah, the flesh part is that you
237
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.679
have to work, rehearse, you have to do your due
238
00:13:55.720 --> 00:14:00.919
diligence and making sure that everything is strong, it's on
239
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.120
the money, ready to go front of house, the whole team,
240
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:12.120
and then come service time, you get out of the way. Yeah,
241
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:16.600
and let Jesus do what he needs to do. That
242
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.759
is our sacrifice. What is Romans twelve one and two.
243
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.240
Paul said that I beceieved you, brethren, by the mercy
244
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.519
of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice,
245
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:32.720
something that can crawl off the altar. It's really it's hard,
246
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:36.720
but you have to do the due diligence, your work,
247
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:41.720
your rehearsal, your memorization, working out the parts, do all
248
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.559
of that and that's when you begin to be transformed
249
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:49.720
by the renewing of your mind. Yes, and then God,
250
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.399
God can use you and you step out of His way.
251
00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:54.360
One of the reasons why I love your music so
252
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:56.519
much is that there are so many people that are
253
00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.200
called to the altar these days. But the problem is, though,
254
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.159
is that people are called, they do accept Christ John
255
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:05.080
three point sixteen, they are baptized, and when they're raised
256
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:07.879
to life like that, they think it's all said and done. No, no, no, no.
257
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.919
What you just shared with me is the very reason
258
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:13.679
why it's a continuation. You have to work on it,
259
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.000
you have to build on it. You take things away,
260
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:19.600
you put things back in, replenish that garden. That soil
261
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:20.919
comes from a greater power.
262
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.759
Hey Dan bro Yeah that wow, you just you just
263
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:31.639
dug a good one pun attended. That's that is the
264
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:37.480
very message that the Holy Spirit keeps this old fart
265
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:42.519
feature on his toes with every day because we do
266
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:45.960
run out, and especially with the years and everything that
267
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:51.159
consumes us. Stuff flies so fast now and if you're
268
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:54.080
not careful, you're going to turn around and realize that
269
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.559
you are completely spent and you have nothing for the
270
00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:01.000
Holy Spirit to use now granted his strength is made
271
00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.000
perfect in our weakness, but at the same time, as
272
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:07.360
a good steward, I have to get on our youngest son.
273
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:08.240
We have three signs.
274
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:12.799
One's twenty nine, twenty eight, and don't do this seventeen
275
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:21.279
and he is not under the conviction yet that sleep
276
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:29.240
actually promotes health. So you have to get to a
277
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:33.399
place where you realize the most important thing in these
278
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:38.320
last days which we are, we're in the end of
279
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:42.879
the end time. There's been the reason why it's so
280
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:47.480
different than say Nero or World War two Hitler. It's
281
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:52.960
called Convergence and my next single coming out and I
282
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.480
guess may I'll have to talk with the guys.
283
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:58.519
It's going to deal with just that. It's going to
284
00:16:58.519 --> 00:16:59.559
be called Endgame.
285
00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.799
This is how in touch with people you are. You
286
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:06.799
hear that calling, you hear that voice, and and and
287
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:08.440
I want to I want to speak with the listener
288
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:10.680
that doesn't understand what that means. You're not going to
289
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:15.519
hear physical words, You're going to feel You're gonna don't
290
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.440
try and waste your time to try to figure it out.
291
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:21.200
Just do it. Just do it. You know what's going on.
292
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:22.759
You're being led.
293
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:24.839
Amen.
294
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.519
I love that because it's a It gives a fourth
295
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:30.079
dimension to everything.
296
00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:35.200
I love that. Yeah, especially if God does call you.
297
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:38.400
In an he anoints whatever it is he's sending out
298
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:45.599
because already had record deals, already had a career, A
299
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:49.480
couple of them.
300
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.359
Already was involved with over let's see for him.
301
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.799
The four of us we did a little over five
302
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:56.279
thousand concerts together.
303
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:04.519
And that's not that stuff isn't glittery at all to me.
304
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:10.519
It's something to where I have to resist, even if
305
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:13.119
God calls me out to go sing around the corner
306
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:15.960
or on another state. I got to fight the natural
307
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:20.440
nature of just packing a suitcase or looking at my
308
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:24.480
overnight kid hanging on the shower at home. You know,
309
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:31.480
there are certain sacrifices that come with that. But I
310
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:35.519
want to make sure that everyone understands when He calls
311
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:38.119
you to do something like when he called me this
312
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:44.519
late in life, post careers, it's really the obedience that
313
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:49.279
he honors, and then he will use you, and it's
314
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:52.599
out of that motive. Sometimes he has to get you
315
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.279
to a place where it's not about the publishing deal.
316
00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:58.839
It's not about the royalties for mailbox money. That's what
317
00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:03.359
we used to call it. It's it's not about any fame,
318
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.480
which brings a huge curse with it. It's not about
319
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:13.640
any of this stuff. It's about being available and then
320
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:17.160
with your obedience, God uses that.
321
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:22.119
Yes, oh man, yes, yes, yes, so up there in Colorado.
322
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:24.279
I've not attended a church in Colorado. I just know
323
00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:26.079
how we are down here in the South. Are they
324
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:28.640
raising their arms? Are they screaming hallelujah? Are they sitting
325
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:30.759
there singing right along? Because I'll tell you what that's.
326
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:32.160
You know, when when you say that you want to
327
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:34.359
fill people up with that love, that's what I want
328
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:37.079
to see. I want to see people receive it. I
329
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:39.799
want to see people just really bring it together and
330
00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:42.720
hug people and love people they've never met before, and
331
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:45.079
all of a sudden they then there's that relationship that's
332
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:47.759
now made it a solid foundation in his name.
333
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:53.440
Gotta be straight up with you, Arrow, It's it's a
334
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:54.599
weird market here.
335
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.319
See. I'm from the I'm from the South.
336
00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:04.160
Yeah, that's right, Louisiana. Man, I'm right in the belt,
337
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:08.839
the buckle of the belt. So where are you are
338
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:09.799
you in North Carolina?
339
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:11.839
I'm in Charlotte.
340
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.599
You and Charlotte, Yeah, Okay, because you talk about Stephen
341
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:21.400
in your comments, I kind of figured with the Elevation Church. Yeah,
342
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:23.519
we wore.
343
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:26.000
Out Charlotte, I know, back in the day.
344
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:31.440
But down in the South, I'm very used to accustomed
345
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:37.440
to how we freely worship in the South. And it's
346
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.319
funny you bring that up in Denver. It is a
347
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:49.440
very fickle, inconsistent thing. It's definitely not the belt. It is, yeah,
348
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:53.759
but not to say that God is much bigger than that,
349
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:57.319
and he is beginning to turn things around.
350
00:20:57.440 --> 00:20:57.960
I've been.
351
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:02.480
Leading work ship at a church across the street from
352
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:07.759
our school. It's called Cherry Hills Community Church, and uh yeah,
353
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:13.559
it's pretty, really nice sized church. It's been there I
354
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:17.440
forgot how many years, but they came and asked me,
355
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.200
even in my busy schedule as a teacher. The pastor,
356
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.720
Kurt Taylor's incredible guy. He's he's also on the board
357
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.559
with Valor with the high school, and he knew my schedule,
358
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.359
but he was just like, dude, I just feel like
359
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:39.960
you could help this eight o'clock chapel service across the
360
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:40.920
street every Sunday.
361
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:43.359
He said, man, just you you don't have to have
362
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:43.960
an office.
363
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:47.799
You you don't have to come to the meetings, staff
364
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:52.039
meetings with any of that stuff. Just build a worship
365
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:56.079
team with this chapel service. I was like, okay, yeah,
366
00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:59.440
I'll do it finally, but man, go ahead has been
367
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:04.000
blessing and it's stilling up that one space where we're
368
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:09.039
doing it, and I'm beginning to see multi generationally, how
369
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:14.319
how much bigger God is than things we call demographic
370
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:20.319
or you know. And yeah, I'm no longer under the
371
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:25.720
very limited scope. Yeah, just thinking I figured out a
372
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:26.480
certain market.
373
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:29.400
But yeah, God is on the move. I will say,
374
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:30.519
don't you love it? Though?
375
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:32.960
When they do come up with questions, Students or any
376
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:35.680
adult at any age come up with questions, and because
377
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:39.400
I'll look at him and I'll go, what is your interpretation?
378
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:41.680
Before we jump into a study, I want to know
379
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.279
where you are and what would lead to a question.
380
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:47.640
I'm willing to listen, but are you willing to listen
381
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:50.440
as well? Do you ever give that to somebody?
382
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:55.839
Absolutely, because that's how you earn yes their attention. You know,
383
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.279
before if you were too quick to speak, I mean,
384
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:04.319
Proverbs a whole lot to say about that, you know.
385
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:10.559
Let's say, let's go Proverbs twelve fifteen and sixteen says
386
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:12.400
the way of a fool seems.
387
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:17.279
Wise in his own eyes, but the wise listen to instruction.
388
00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:19.680
The fool shows his annoyance at once, but the prudent
389
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:21.039
overlooks an insult.
390
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:25.640
To be slow to speak and very quick to listen.
391
00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:28.720
And I might add to that.
392
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:35.319
A bit tolerant to listen, because there's a patience involved
393
00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:39.039
and you don't have to be a you know, family
394
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:44.279
counselor to be equipped for this. This is just one
395
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:48.799
of the fruits of the spirit. And just being patient
396
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:51.240
enough to hear what they have to say. And when
397
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:56.759
they know you've connected with their thought, they will listen
398
00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:57.640
to you all day.
399
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:01.759
You know, there's a big change on the way because
400
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:03.559
something just happened in the past couple of weeks here
401
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:05.440
in Charlotte where you just kind of grin about it,
402
00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:08.400
or Christian Wood or a believer would, and that is
403
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.559
is that a radio station that that was featured on
404
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.319
two different stations is going away and what are they
405
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:18.880
putting on it? God? And I'm thinking, oh my God,
406
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:21.839
here it comes, you know, and you know, so so
407
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:24.119
there goes that secular music, you know, right out the
408
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:26.519
out the door and look what they're planting in there.
409
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:31.400
Oh wow, man, dude, what what affiliate?
410
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:33.920
I mean, do you know or or can you say?
411
00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:37.240
Well, it was definitely Radio one that got rid of it.
412
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:39.359
And then they picked a company up and I want
413
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:42.559
to say both of them are from South Carolina.
414
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:46.880
Oh wow, how about that. Yeah, God's on the move.
415
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:53.839
He's about to change this. Uh, this whole geologic predictive market,
416
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:55.000
it really is.
417
00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:00.559
And amen with this.
418
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:06.440
In time, I wanted to make sure that before we
419
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:10.160
stop this interview that at least I have a chance
420
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:14.559
to say that even with the darkness that's mounting and
421
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:17.480
the delusion that we're entering right now, which is going
422
00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:20.640
to be pretty epic. I mean, the Bible says that
423
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:24.680
it'll be so great it'll be to the degree that
424
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:29.359
even the very left would be deceived if that were possible.
425
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:33.480
But we're about to go into a time the world's
426
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:38.519
never seen ever. And yet I kind of want people
427
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:42.880
to the people of God to take the encouragement that
428
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:46.799
the servant of Elisha. Did you know when all of
429
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:55.240
those armies gathered to slaughter them, and Elisha's servant was
430
00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:57.920
looking out of the window and just freaking out and
431
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:01.079
he just said. Elisha said God, I've opened his eyes
432
00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:04.359
so that he can see what I'm seeing. And when
433
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:08.759
he opened his eyes, he solved that many more were
434
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:14.599
therefore him than against him. Yes, and this time, you
435
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:18.279
know the Psalm ninety one says, a thousand wist fall
436
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:20.680
at your side, in ten thousand at you're right hand.
437
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:23.400
But all of that evil will not come near you.
438
00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:25.920
Only with your eyes will you behold and see the
439
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:29.119
reward of the wicked. That's the word of God. And
440
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:32.400
when we entered this time, I just want to make
441
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:37.519
sure people understand and if my songs can help praise God.
442
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:42.920
But many more are there for us than against us.
443
00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:47.519
When the darkness builds and the sin abounds, the Bible says,
444
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:51.119
his grace even more abounds. His presence is going to
445
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:54.279
come in and before we are taken out of here,
446
00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:59.119
whenever that is that, He's going to make sure that
447
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:05.279
we understand he is ridiculously greater than any power we're
448
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:06.839
going to see on this earth.
449
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:10.000
I love where your heart is. Where can people go
450
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:12.920
to find out more about you? Because I want them
451
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:15.880
to really dive into your entire journey. Well at the
452
00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:18.160
same time, checking out screen time as well as coming
453
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:20.200
down and the brand new one on the way. I
454
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:22.799
want them to be able to experience it, not just
455
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:24.920
listen to it, experience it.
456
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:30.200
Well. Thank you, ero. That's pretty cool. That's a wide
457
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:31.440
open opportunity right there.
458
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:34.400
All right, this is for me to be very transparent
459
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:36.160
what you're going to find out about me, since I
460
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:41.039
do have a major gig as an educator and my
461
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.880
life is consumed until summer. Every summer I do get
462
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:51.200
to create I online. I have, you know, just content
463
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:54.559
material on my Instagram.
464
00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:58.440
It's really easy to Martin mcgeee go to.
465
00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:04.880
The Instagram, my TikTok, same thing, my YouTube exactly the
466
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:05.359
same thing.
467
00:28:05.440 --> 00:28:06.359
Just type in my name.
468
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:09.319
I've got a website and full disclosure of my wife
469
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:11.359
and I are really trying to work on that and
470
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:14.039
we're going to get to a place, especially this summer
471
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:18.200
where don't be discouraged. We will begin to populate it
472
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:21.519
with a lot a lot of content and you will
473
00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:23.920
be able to follow me. It's just been a very
474
00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:29.880
gradual process and it's crazy because you get to watch
475
00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:34.119
it grow yes as we go, so to speak. But
476
00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:39.319
that is Marty mcgeee dot com makes real easy.
477
00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:41.119
I love it, but.

Then Spotify, any and all streaming platforms.
479
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:48.359
I work through.
480
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:55.799
A company owned and ran by a married couple friends
481
00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:58.599
of mine for years. I knew I'm back in the
482
00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:03.200
early nineties, Brad and Leslie Taylor with a big machine
483
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:08.519
agency out of New York and London, and they'll have
484
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:12.240
even more connections. If you want to reach out and
485
00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:19.119

489
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:28.039
to be enough time, not with that history and that
490
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:29.359
vision growing forward.
491
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:33.799
Oh but I love it. Well, thank you, Erro. It's
492
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:34.440
been a pleasure.
493
00:29:34.599 --> 00:29:36.039
Will you be brilliant today.
494
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:40.839
Okay, I'm gonna give it my best. It's as much
495
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:42.880
as a sixty plus year old man can.
496
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:46.880
I love it. I love your attitude. Bye guy,
