رونوشت کامل Steady After The Election

the board, Texas lost the House and the Senate and the Supreme Court and all the statewides. 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:35.040 I don't know that I've seen anything as sweeping as that that was as unexpected. 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.519 Nobody that we know of saw that coming. 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:50.000 There was nothing in the polling, there was no money being spent down underneath that we're aware of, there was nothing targeting the lieutenant governor and all the others, and and it's just that's the one that is astoundingly amazing to me. 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.120 And you know, we'll find out what that means as time goes on. 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:57.199 But overall, I'm not discouraged by what happened last night. 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:04.720 I mean, we've we got so many people engaged, talked to so many people, so many pastors and churches are now doing things they weren't doing. 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.839 So this is all good for the future, as far as I see. 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:13.439 I mean, when I look at it and going back to those three life lessons, I think those are good things for us all to remember. 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.279 We don't get discouraged, we don't get encouraged over things that happen. 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.399 We just steady, hang the course, know that God's in control. 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.639 We bust our tail to do everything we can, and then the results are in his hands. 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.040 You know, that's the John Quincy Adams thing. 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:28.959 Do desires, results are God's. 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:34.319 And I don't think we could have done any more than what we did, so I I feel fine about things. 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.519 Well, and and and Tim, I know you I know you want to get in there, man. 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:42.480 I gotta I gotta ask, though, because you're talking about not being what w what is that quote, David? 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:49.360 Which founder is it that said something it's something about not being too elated by success or something by defeat? 00:05:49.519 --> 00:06:03.279 I can't remember the quote, but it's essentially not to let our emotions or our joy or any of those things be driven by results, whether it's in business or politics or whatever else it might be, that we're supposed to be steady and and and do our duty. 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.639 And of course we're human, we're gonna, you know, have our ups and downs. 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:12.240 But um, I can't remember who that was, but it it certainly fits tonight uh with the results from last night. 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:24.480 Rick, I I was thinking of the exact same quote uh that you don't get too discouraged uh regardless of the defeat or too elated regardless of the win, um, that you just stay consistent in what you do. 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.000 I don't remember who said it, but I thought of the same quote, and I was gonna ask you guys. 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.040 Um I I'm driving right now, or I would look it up. 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:39.279 Uh however, it is something that ultimately recognizing that God's called us as stewards to be faithful. 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:57.519 Go back and review Matthew 25 and Luke 19 when the master showed up and talked to the workers, the the servants that were serving the master, when the master calls them to an account, the ones who did a good job, he said, Well done, good and faithful servant. 00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:59.839 He didn't say, Well done, victorious. 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:01.120 He said, faithful. 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:08.800 Now, we could argue that faithfulness will often breed productivity, it will breed success, it will breed victory, sure. 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.480 Ultimately, that's what you hope for and pray for in your faithfulness. 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.879 But what the master applauded them for was their faithfulness. 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.600 And we've talked about that for decades. 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:21.839 We want to be the people that are found faithful. 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:26.240 And certainly there's already pundits that are armchair quarterbacking. 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:27.839 And we can look and we will. 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.519 We will have shows about this over the next several weeks, I am sure. 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:38.000 We can look at some of the the polling, the exit polling of people that voted. 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:42.079 What were the issues that concerned you and what what encouraged you to do the things you did? 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:46.000 And there's some good analytics and data we can get from that. 00:07:46.240 --> 00:08:02.639 Um, there's you know, definitely some takeaways we can have when you look at the demographic of who voted and uh the things that were important to them, and then you look at some of the messaging, you look at some of the candidates, there's a lot of things that we can critique and we can analyze and hopefully be strategic for the future. 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:23.360 But Dad, one of the things that that we have talked about over the last several weeks, and and definitely internally, I'm pretty sure we've mentioned it on radio as well, is one of the things that's encouraging to me, we have never seen this many pastors around the nation that were speaking up on and encouraging their churches to engage. 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:27.759 And at times, even calling out specific candidates, it was incredible. 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:35.440 But the reason I'm so encouraged is the pastors that are waking up, I don't think this was a one and done for them. 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.039 I don't think they said, hey, let's give it a shot and see if we win an election. 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:49.759 They were speaking up because they're concerned about discipling their people to support biblical positions, recognizing that the Bible is true. 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:53.360 When the Bible

says that righteousness exalts a nation. 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:56.000 Well, I I need to help my people know what righteousness is. 00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:00.000 When the Bible says that when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice. 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:06.799 When the wicked rule, the people groan, and they're helping Show their people what a righteous ruler looks like or doesn't look like. 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:10.799 I I think those pastors are going to double down. 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:25.039 And I think more pastors are gonna wake up, and I think especially as we see the potentially rise and increase over the next couple of years of the socialism movement, of the Marxism and communism movement, of the spread. 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.559 Unfortunately, I think it's a very real possibility and a challenge. 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.039 We're gonna deal with the spread of Islam in America. 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:37.840 I think there's a lot of pastors who are going to be further awakened and recognize we need to do more. 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:47.679 And the reason I'm encouraged on so many levels because of this is fundamentally we recognize that America cannot survive without a biblical foundation. 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:53.440 That's why the founding father said this whole experiment only works with a moral and a religious people. 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:57.039 And by moral and religious, they meant a Christian and biblical people. 00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.360 That that's what they're really referring to. 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:08.480 And so we were not going to have a future as a nation without having a resurgence of the church and a growth in the church. 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:13.200 And I think we are seeing more and more of that coming up. 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:24.879 And so, you know, Dad, as you mentioned, all of us three, the the months that we have spent traveling, encouraging Christians and pastors to engage and trying to educate and inform them, and we did. 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.879 We've seen a lot of people awakened that I don't think are going anywhere. 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:35.440 And frankly, some of the people that lost in these elections, they were the old guard. 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:53.120 And this could have been honestly a grace of the Lord to remove some of those people who might not have willingly stepped aside for a rising generation that, you know, for the Israelites, for Joshua and Caleb that were willing to go and do certain things. 00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:58.799 And then you had obviously the other 10 leaders who did not have the same ideology and worldview. 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:04.159 And God tells Moses that we're gonna have to remove a generation before you can go in the promised land. 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:09.919 I do wonder if part of what is going to happen is there's gonna be a rising generation. 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:14.240 We've talked about these young men that are coming to faith, that these people that are going to church. 00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:47.759 I think a lot of these pastors that are being awakened, that are speaking to biblical truth to the issues, they are now gonna be in a position where they can start discipling the young men who, and that doesn't have to just be young men, but I think young men who are actively going to church, they're gonna start discipling them, and they're gonna be the ones that raise up and they're gonna be the next John Quincy Adams, the next George Washingtons, the next Abraham Lincolns, they're gonna be the next leaders that uphold the banner for the advancement of fundamental morals in America, et cetera. 00:11:47.840 --> 00:12:00.559 So, again, to your point, I am not discouraged by the outcome because had there not been a 2020, which we look back now and there's questions about was it an honest election, was there security, right? 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:06.960 Joe Biden, who didn't campaign, who stayed in his basement, won with the most votes that any president's ever had. 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.320 Like the most, he was described as the most popular president in American history. 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:11.679 And we're like, that's crazy. 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:18.480 There's no way, had there not been a 2020, arguably we would never have had a 2024. 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:33.679 So, why of many reasons I'm not discouraged, Dad, to your point, all of the people that have been awake in, but also knowing that as you pointed out, that God can cause all things to work together for good for those that love him and are called according to his purpose. 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:38.879 We saw 2020 as a disaster, but God somehow used it for good. 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:42.799 I think this situation is absolutely no different. 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:44.080 It is the same. 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:59.840 God is on the move in America, and God is not done being on the move in America, and I think it will bear its fruit, and I think part of that fruit will be a continued revival and restoration of biblical truth and morality. 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:08.879 But if you go back to the Second Great Awakening, the Second Great Awakening, as God is doing this incredible move, it was an incredibly divided America. 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:16.080 America arguably was never more divided than during the Second Great Awakening because that was the 1830s, that was the 1840s. 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:24.559 The nation is literally splitting as God is on the move, but it's because God was on the move that you saw the increase of the abolition movement. 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:31.200 Ultimately, what led to an end of slavery in America, it was part of the fruit of the second great awakening. 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:36.559 And the second great awakening, it didn't actually bring unity in America. 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:42.799 America was divided, but it did bring moral clarity on the topic and issue for so many

people. 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:49.279 It strengthened and encouraged the backbones of the people that needed to stand up to oppose an actual evil in America. 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:56.559 And I think that's part of what's happening right now, and that's part of the fruit we're gonna see borne out in the future. 00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:57.440 Amen. 00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:58.080 Amen. 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.879 Hey guys, we're gonna take a break, but I found the quote. 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:05.440 It's John Jay, uh, first Chief Justice, co-author of the Federalist Papers. 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:22.480 He said, All that the best men can do is to persevere in doing their duty to their country and leave the consequences to him who made it their duty, being neither elated by success, however great, nor discouraged by disappointments, however frequent and mortifying. 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:28.799 Gotta tell you guys, in a vacuum, last night was mortifying to see Texas go the way the Texas went. 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.039 But that quote right there, I had it was played in my head so many lines from that. 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:50.639 I'm I think I can actually remember the first time I saw you, uh, David, put that quote on a screen and just how it just it was shocking to me to it changed my whole mindset because I just I grew up in a world where you know you really celebrated those successes and you got down with the defeats and you know you swung back and forth. 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:57.919 And I and and just to be, if I could for a second, I watched you live it out all these years, bro. 00:14:58.080 --> 00:14:58.720 All these years. 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:08.159 I've never seen you be too elated by success or discouraged by disappointments, however frequent more no matter what we've been through over these nearly 30 years we've been together. 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.720 And uh man, I just thank you for setting that example. 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:12.720 And now I see Tim live in that way. 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:17.840 Uh so many people that that we've been able to raise up in that philosophy. 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:19.120 Uh just incredible. 00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:26.480 So, anyway, for for our friends out there that may be new listeners to Wall Bowlers, maybe never heard that quote, who may be reeling from last night and wondering, man, what do we do? 00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:29.679 Especially Texans, like, wow, what a total change in our state. 00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:31.840 Listen to that quote one more time as we go to break. 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:44.639 All that the best men can do is to persevere in doing their duty to their country and leave the consequences to him who made it their duty, being neither elated by success, however great, nor discouraged by disappointments, however frequent and mortifying. 00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:45.440 That's John Jay. 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:48.159 We'll be back in a moment on the WallBuilders show. 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:58.480 Hey friends, Rick Green for the WallBuilders show, encouraging you to share the program with friends and family and listen to it on the podcasts that are out there. 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.720 There's so many options out there for you to listen to in the car or from home or while you're working out. 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:07.200 You've got Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Castbox. 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:08.480 I mean, there's so many options. 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:13.120 And we just want to make sure you know we've worked hard to get it out there and make it available for you on all those different apps. 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:15.679 Everybody's got their favorite app, so choose your particular app. 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:21.120 And if it's not on there yet, email us, radio at wallbuilders.com, and let us know about your favorite podcast app. 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.679 And we'll make sure WallBuilders Radio is listed there. 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:27.279 But you can listen and most importantly, share it with your friends and family. 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:28.399 That's how the program grows. 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.759 That's how we get more truth in the hands of as many people as possible. 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:41.440 And then, of course, wallbuilders.Show, super easy place uh to find all of those podcast apps and to just download right there from that website as well as be able to share it with your friends and family. 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:49.919 So check it out today, wallbuilders.Show, or just go directly to your favorite podcast app, listen to the WallBuilders Show, and share it with as many people as you possibly can. 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:55.919 Welcome back to the WallBuilders show. 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.000 Thanks for staying with us day after the election. 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:07.759 Uh a lot of bad news in the election, uh, but I think as you said earlier, uh Tim, it's you know, all things work together for good, or maybe that was you, David, at the top of the uh uh program, uh, and we know that. 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:10.079 And uh so kind of just a rundown. 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:15.200 Um, now that we've got not all the races, but but most of the races, what does that look like? 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:19.039 The first thing I got tonight from people calling or texting was, oh, does this mean impeachment? 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:21.279 In fact, one of the studio guys asked me that. 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:24.799 Um, and of course, just a reminder that, you know, yes, they've talked about it. 00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:29.440 The House could impeach because they have the majority, but a conviction in the Senate is not gonna happen. 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:31.200 They're not gonna get the 60 votes to do that. 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:33.119 Um so that's the number one question people get. 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:40.559 But what else, what what what kind of changes do you do you

think does this mean for the Trump administration in the final two years of Trump's presidency? 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:49.279 I I think there will be a lot of push from the House and the Senate to pass a lot of bills uh that they know he's going to veto. 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:54.079 And they're going to do that to to make it look, he's an obstructionist, he's in the way. 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:55.759 We're trying to help America progress. 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.480 I think you'll see a really progressive agenda come through. 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:02.559 There'll be a lot of money spent and a lot of money thrown at groups and at people. 00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:06.720 Uh there'll be expansion of government programs, expansion of of rights. 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:08.880 The people have rights to these programs. 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:19.200 There's gonna be a lot of spending measures, there's gonna be a lot of expansion of government measures, there's gonna be a lot of restriction of uh parental rights type of measures. 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:32.720 Uh there's gonna be a big push on education, more education making because they love educating with progressive ideas, and so they're they're big in education because of what that all that's like they're that's like them having evangelists, quite frankly. 00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:37.039 You know, in church we talk about evangelists with with the Bible, there's evangelists. 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.519 Education is their evangelism tool, and they want to fill it with progressives. 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:47.680 So I think you'll see a lot of that, which means you're gonna see a lot of vetoes, which they will say he's just a complete obstruction. 00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:53.839 So we're trying to move America forward and he's doing this, and so you know, let's impeach and look at all these terrible things he's done. 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:59.920 I think you'll see uh some attempt to open borders, which again, he has control of the executive branch, so he has to execute. 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:02.720 You'll you'll see just a lot of things that have changed. 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:11.839 Uh, it was striking to me that even last night Arizona voted down the measure on their ballot to make sure that citizens are the ones who vote. 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.119 And that they said, no, we we think it should be open basically to everybody. 00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:18.160 We don't want this this check the citizens before they vote. 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:23.279 So you'll see things like that, I think, which that's their platform, that's their agenda. 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:30.559 I'm curious as to whether they will try to be so combative that they try to take him down and thus make him a martyr. 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:39.599 Uh I think that would be dumb on their part, but that's kind of what Democrat and and and Dumb both start with these so same letters, so maybe they're related somehow. 00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:41.119 Sometimes it seems like that. 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:42.400 But that's kind of what I think. 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:44.319 Tim, Rick, what do you guys think? 00:19:44.799 --> 00:20:00.559 Yeah, I I think the Democrats won't be able to help themselves because when you look at I I I think what was gonna happen from this election is if Democrats lost, one of the leading voices in the the present Democrat movement was the Democrat Socialists of America. 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:09.039 And I think if Democrats would have lost this election, they would have told the the DSA, you guys need to shut up and take a back seat. 00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:11.039 You're the reason we lost. 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:21.839 But because they won, I think the Democrat Socialists of America are gonna say, see, we are the winning voice, we are the winning ticket. 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:23.599 And I think they're gonna double down. 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:28.559 When you say, Dad, Democrats and dumb, I think they're gonna double down on this dumb. 00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:40.880 And it I say dumb, I don't think it's gonna be politically expedient in the long run, even though I understand that a huge percentage of Americans are now saying they have a favorable view of socialism and Islam. 00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:45.599 But honestly, it's because they've had poor explanations of what those actually are. 00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:50.559 It doesn't mean they might not vote that in and then learn the hard way that they didn't actually like what that is. 00:20:50.720 --> 00:21:09.920 But I think one of the things we will see is the elevation of the loudest, craziest voices, where you know, we might look at someone like an AOC and go, She's just crazy, she's dumb, you know, whatever kind of uh pejoratives we might want to put her direction. 00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:28.880 I think ultimately it's gonna be people like her who are gonna become louder, outspoken voices, the Hassan Pikers, the people that instead of being repudiated in this election, they're gonna feel like they were vindicated and validated and they're gonna just double down on it. 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:33.039 And I think that's gonna provide a greater clarity and contrast. 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:43.359 And honestly, I thought I thought yesterday was uh it should not have been as confusing as some people felt like it was because it was some of the greatest clarity and contrast we've had. 00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:55.440 When you have literally a party who wants to remove any restriction on abortion up to and maybe even after birth, when they think it's okay for boys to go in the girls' bathrooms and locker rooms, and they think it's okay to trans the kids. 00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:59.680 And actually, there literally are people running on the Democrats. 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:05.200 That are outspoken socialists or communists or Marxists, that are Islamist. 00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:11.759 And this is one of the most

obvious contrasts we've ever had in an election. 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:18.480 But I think a lot of people don't live inside of the political spectrum as much as we do. 00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:20.720 And I don't think it was as clear for them. 00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:29.279 I think it's going to offer a lot of clarity as the Democrats double down in the House and the Senate on the DSA positions and platforms. 00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:37.039 And as they advocate and say this louder and longer, and then, Dad, back to the point that I don't think they can help themselves. 00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:43.920 I think they're going to bring all kinds of legal challenges against Trump and his family. 00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:48.160 And as they do this, they're going to make him appear to be a martyr. 00:22:48.319 --> 00:23:01.119 And even though some of their side are going to celebrate that we're finally going to go after this guy because all they know about him are the pejorative adjectives that have been thrown about him by mainstream media. 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:07.920 They don't actually know much story or anything else, but I think they're going to end up making him a martyr to some extent. 00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:12.319 What that actually means when it plays out, I'm not sure yet. 00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:23.759 But I would default to what I said on the first portion of the program that God is God has been so clearly on the move to even get Trump to the presidency in 2024. 00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:30.799 When Trump was in Butler and turns his head and he gets shot in the top of the ear instead of literally in his head where he would have died. 00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:36.799 God did too much to get Trump to the White House to think that God is now done with America. 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:39.359 Like that was God's final miracle for America. 00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:40.079 Now he's done. 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:41.519 That doesn't make any sense at all. 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:43.920 I think God is still fundamentally on the move. 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:45.759 I think there's still a revival happening. 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:53.440 And I think part of what's going to expose the Democrats is going to be them doubling down on dumb in the House and the Senate. 00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:55.039 They can't help themselves. 00:23:55.279 --> 00:24:04.240 And now the DSA, the Democrat socials of America, are going to be emboldened, saying the reason we won so strong is because people love us. 00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:07.119 And I don't think that's necessarily correct. 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:18.319 And I think as they double down, it actually is going to be potentially beneficial to wake more people up, which is what's needed to restore the soul and the foundation of America. 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:20.240 Amen, brother. 00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:22.240 No, that's I I I think you're so right. 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:24.880 And and it's not, you know, there's nothing new under the sun. 00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:33.039 And and back to that that list of three things that Demaris sent us, you know, the fact that it doesn't take God by surprise, that he does work all this together for good. 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:34.799 Um, and we've seen him do that. 00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:40.960 So it's not even like we have to hope that these weird circumstances we've never seen before that somehow he can turn that. 00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:41.759 No, no, no. 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:43.759 We've seen such, such similar things. 00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:46.640 You just listed several of the of those examples. 00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:58.559 Um, what would y'all say in in our final coup couple of minutes to folks that are that that are feeling down how to how to get them to realize to see past this and and actions to take, because I think that's the best way to get out. 00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:04.400 Um, you know, the we're we're we're we're now the day after, so you know, enough enough pity party time, right? 00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:05.920 It's time to get to work, isn't it? 00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:19.200 Well, I I I would point to First Corinthians eleven, verses eighteen and nineteen, where Paul says, It is absolutely necessary that there be fights and divisions among you in order to know which of you have God's approval. 00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:29.359 And so within the church they had these factions, they had these groups going on, there was different views of how to do things, and there was all this human conflict, and he says, Hey, that's that's necessary. 00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:36.400 That that's how God will point out which is right, which is wrong, and and what's and I think what Tim laid out is is part of it. 00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:42.880 Um this is sometimes you learn what's right and wrong by putting your hand on a hot stove and figuring out that was a really bad thing to do. 00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:45.119 So I think that's part of what will happen. 00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:46.799 And so don't get distressed over it. 00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:50.000 Don't get bent out of shape when people have conflicts, et cetera. 00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:53.039 That's part of exposing who's right and who's wrong. 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:58.960 Well, guys, I think this is something too that probably uh is a good foundation of freedom conversation. 00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:01.680 How do we restore the foundation so we can be free? 00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:04.319 I think maybe tomorrow we need to get into that a little bit. 00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:09.039 Maybe not just answering all the questions that people have sent in that we have a whole bunch of. 00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:13.440 Maybe let's get into and talk about how do you restore the foundation? 00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:15.200 What's the blueprint and game plan? 00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:21.680 And guys, we all have already been on calls and text threads with people saying, hey, we need to get together, we need to strategize. 00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.720 So for everybody listening, that is in the works. 00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:27.359 There's lots of conversations, lots of groups, lots of meetings. 00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:32.720 But bottom line for now, maybe tomorrow, we'll start laying out some of that foundation. 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:36.160 Hey man, the foundations haven't changed. 00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:37.920 The principles still work. 00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:41.359 So tune in tomorrow and we'll talk about how to restore those foundations. 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:42.240 Thanks so much for listening. 00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:44.640 You've been listening to the WallBuilder show.
