I know you have a choice of where you can listen each and every day. Here I am. Look at me. Okay, don't look at me. I don't know. Do look at me.
Don't look at me. I haven't decided yet. So something is definitely amiss this morning, and I'm not sure exactly now what it is. Hang on a minute while I figure out what's happened to the screen here.
Everything is off screen, zoomed in, zoomed down. I don't know. It's very strange. Yeah. Okay. Odd. Very odd. But yeah, things things kind of bounced around in the night. This happens. So the computer, we do, you know, you have to do these updates, right?
And of course, they do this stuff absolutely intentionally to create all kinds of other issues. Okay, I guess that's how it's supposed to be. Welcome board.
Good to have you. For those of you listening on the radio, you're going What is he talking about? For those of you that are watching me, you're you're seeing kind of what I'm talking about.
Just moving some of the graphics around on the screen trying to get them where they're supposed to be. All right. I got a great program lined up for you. Three hours of great radio coming at you.
Lots to talk about today. Jed Dunning will be with us. He's got a brand new our swamp can and will be drained again, he says. We'll ask him how he intends to do that. We've got James Hurston will be with us as well. We'll talk woke Hollywood. So that's coming up for you. I've got a brand new motivational speaker that's going to be joining us bottom of the hour. Brett Uber Uber. I'm told it's OOB.
I guess the are in the ear are silent. I'll find out from Brett when he when he when he joins me. But yeah, we'll talk about that escalating violence for of Stranger Things.
Netflix flag series Stranger Things enjoys a huge audience have been praised by critics for its writing, directing, acting and more. Yeah, we'll get into that with James. OK. And then what else? George Carneal Jr. from Queer to Christ will be joining us. We'll be talking about the impacts of these bills and different things that are that are coming up.
And of course, his twenty five years in the homosexual lifestyle and and what that what that was all about and and and the dangers of what's happening to our kids. Rick Manning is with me, Rick. Welcome, President Americans for Limited Government. Great to have you. Thanks for jumping in kind of on on on the on the last minute. But I'm so glad to have you. My pleasure.
It's always great to be on. And we've got there's so many things that are happening that Congress and it's amazing how fast Congress can move when they, shall we say, want to. Well, you know, and and of course, it's so funny because when when people who are of a biblical conservative world view want to address things like marriage or life in the womb and and and a life from conception and and and, you know, what's being taught to our children about CRT and hate and all this kind of stuff. And and legislative bodies in state houses bring forward bills to address these issues.
The left goes epileptic. They're like, these are not political could bring in social issues into the political realm. And then when when there's when the courts actually adjudicate properly and and there's actually a constitutional perspective and even a Christian biblical, which is what our nation is, by the way, founded on. It's where all the freedoms of liberties come from.
All of a sudden. Like you said, they rush in and they're like, oh, we got to we got to fix this. We got to we got to we got to make sure that our social construct is happening in the way that we want it to happen. Yeah, let's say it's it is astonishing how how rapid and how rapid the Senate in particular can move if they if they want to. And we saw that, unfortunately, yesterday the Senate has as everybody knows, it takes 60 votes to get anything done by the Senate, which means either party pretty much has a has a block on anything happening if they choose to exercise it.
And because of fear that gay marriage, which was wrongly decided Supreme Court level, would be the next fall when due to post office decision. The there was a rush through the House and into the Senate to have a codify gay marriage. And lo and behold, the 50 50 split in the Senate. They managed to they managed to bring it up, they managed to say, let's vote on it. And I managed to get to 60, which means at least 10 Republicans voted in favor of it. And they really ran it through.
And so, and this was wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm sorry, I was I was busy looking up ESG scores. They ran say that again, Rick, I apologize, they ran they ran the gay marriage, they ran a gay marriage bill through they ran it through the Senate to they codified it through the Senate as well. So it's going to get signed into law by by by by Brandon. Yeah, that's it's a Yeah, they had it, it went through the house. I didn't realize that it had gotten through the Senate. I'm sorry, folks, I apologize. I was Along with this, what I was looking at Rick was was refreshing my memory about the ESG scores of the woke corporations, environmental, social and governance.
And so this new law, right, is going to come into play relative to the S score of the of woke corporations. I hear an echo. Is that me? Somebody must have jumped into our call. Hi, welcome aboard NSA, CIA, FBI.
Eric Swalwell, I don't know whoever you are. Welcome. We hear you. Interesting. I've got an echo now. Somebody's listening in Rick. All right, let's try that.
See if that helps. Okay, so Yeah, I'm echoing. All right, I'm going to call you right back. See if we can jump bump them off the line. Hang on, folks, we got to call Rick right back.
So one, two testing one, two. Okay, so yeah, so now the echo is gone. So somebody decided to jump into our call between Rick and I and And play games.
Hello, Rick. I'm back. Okay. Yeah, it's it's gone now. That's good. I'm sure that you know, whoever is if they if they really want to, if they're if they're really intending to be eavesdropping on our conversation, they'll, they'll find their way back in again.
One thing I apologize, the what I read, I read it too hastily. The CNN has, they haven't passed the gay marriage bill for the Senate. And there are. And so they're in CNN is busily has called all 50 cent Republican senators to get a sense of what how they were going to vote, and it is this way.
If people care about they need to call their senators and tell them no way. Because it's, it's on the precipice. That is, I just, I go quickly glance at something for one on the air, and it's a, you know, re looking it up.
I, I realized I misread it. Okay. Yeah, okay, pressure pressures mounting on Republicans to drop their long standing opposition and join in a bipartisan moment for gay rights. I'm hearing a horrible echo coming back. And I cannot figure out why that would be happening. Hello. Okay, now it stops.
I call it out and it stops. The legislation is so important. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said as he opened the chamber when the Democrat marveled over the houses to 67 157 Tally with 47 Republicans almost one fifth of the Republican lawmakers voting for the bill. I want to bring this bill to the floor and we're working to get the necessary Senate Republican support to ensure it would pass.
So 202 224 3121 number is the number to call 202 224 3121 202 224 3121 call the switchboard and just tell them what state you're in and you need to speak to your senator's office and tell them you want them to vote. No, vote no on the Protect Marriage Act, which is, which is essentially because here we're all up in arms right now, over the issue of, of the transgender push and the sexualization of our children. And Rick, I had been warning for years now, that as soon as same sex marriage became, you know, a thing, as soon as that happened, that immediately, they would start teaching our children about this. Well, they certainly have.
Yeah, they certainly have. The warning has been prescient. And, you know, the fact of the matter is, it's, that's the fact there's a controversy now and Ron DeSantis tries to say, No, you can't teach sexualize our children up to third grade is now a controversy. And it tells you tells you everything you need to know, because, you know, the fight used to be over, you know, little girls, you know, fourth, fifth grade, sixth grade, 10th grade, and now the fight is over kindergartners. Well, and, and, and, and the fight over, you know, six, seventh, eighth, ninth, 10th graders was, you know, should they be able to be whisked off to abortion clinics by counselors at the school without the knowledge of the parents that was that was part of that battle.

My special guest is Rick Manning, President of Americans for limited government get liberty.org is the website get liberty.org.
You can also find him at CG contributors at chosen generation radio.com. We were talking about the the bill and again, just a reminder, make that phone call 202-224-3121 202-224-3121 that's the Capitol switchboard. Ask for your senator, tell them no on the Protect Marriage Act. It's not protecting marriage.
It's creating an abomination and it will continue the the radical push to sexualize children between the ages of four and nine. And that is what they're doing. And that is why Ron DeSantis and the Florida legislature passed the bill that they passed to stop that rig.
There's another issue changing completely changing course, but it's critically important. It's called AB five. It's a bill out of California, there seems to be a lot of confusion on this.
But obviously, there's enough concern that truckers yesterday started a protest and blocked a major port in Oakland, California. Tell me what you understand about AB five. AB five is a piece of legislation which passed in California a couple through a couple years ago. It attacks the ability of independent owner operator truckers from being able to exist in California, an attempt to force them into companies and be unionized and become part of the teams regime. So the objective of this AB five is really to create more union members. But in doing so about 70% of the truckers in California are independent owner operators.
They don't want to employ the company they want to run their own business. And, and AB five effectively says, you cannot pick up cargo from various ports and the like you cannot operate in California, as a as an independent trucker. And because of that, we have no Portland is our Oakland is the in the third largest port in California.
Long Beach and Los Angeles each respectively are the first and the second largest ports in California, and 40% of all the everything of our imports come in this country through California. And without independent operators be able to take those things and transport them around the country. We end up with their essentially their blockage supports and make it so you don't have the capacity to get stuff from the ports to the to the retailers through the supply chain. And these truckers are saying, wait a second, this law is now being implemented is being implemented.
The Supreme Court refused to take up the case blocking the law. And so now it's even though it's done a few years ago now the legal constraints against implementing are over. And California is in the midst of implementing this, and the independent trucker, you know, owners and drivers are saying wait a second, spend all this money on a truck I've got this is my, my livelihood, and you're taking it away. So they're in Oakland have blocked the port to stop imports to come in through or experts to go out through the ports. But the net effect of a B five is they're gonna it's gonna block the ports permanently because there aren't enough.
Like I said, there aren't enough trucks absent the independent owner operators or enough trucks to actually haul the the cargo all through the sports. Yeah, all the goods well the end the end the end the other you know the other piece, I guess, relative to that is is we already have these mass supply shortages taking place all across the country. And so now all they've done in California is is potentially added to the to the lack now. Now my understanding is, is that there are a lot of shippers who were saying, Okay, you know what, we're not going to, we're not going to play with California on this.
We'll start using other ports. Houston is a massive port and has massive capacity. And there's conversation about basically boosting the amount of, of supplies coming in through Houston. I think along Louisiana, there's there's potential or or opportunity that exists. Alabama is another, you know, so along that that that misses that that southern corridor there into the Gulf, there's there's huge opportunity there. And California may may have just, you know, helped to further destroy its economy.
You know, that's, that's possible. The challenge is it isn't really, really, really long way around to get to get to the East Coast ports to the Gulf ports. And the reason for that is the Panama Canal was built 100 years ago. Yeah. And while it's been expanded, it can't handle modern container ships.
They're too big. And so there's a so you're not going to go around South America, because it's treacherous, right? So you actually have to go from if you're going from, let's say, Saudi Arabia, so it's a lot earlier. Right, the Pacific side. Yeah, if you're going from Japan, you're going from China. Sure. Going south around all the way around Africa, come back up to go into the Gulf into the Gulf.
During hurricane season seems like it's a pretty non starter much longer. So yeah, long track. Yeah. All right.

Pastor Greg. And welcome back to Chosen Generation Radio where no topic is off limits and everything is filtered through biblical glasses. Thanks so much for being here.
I greatly appreciate it. And as I've been sharing this week, it's, you know, we're doing something new, which we've been doing since the beginning of July, but really kind of getting into stride here as the only morning show that is a biblical constitutional worldview, an unabashedly biblical constitutional worldview. And we're pleased also to bring you some different stuff. Yesterday, during this particular segment of the program, we had a musical duo with us.
We had Fern and Tiff, Alternative Christian Music. And then the second part of it, they actually did their song, I Know. And if you missed that, you can find it. It's actually up at my Rumble page. And you can see that whole interview is very nice.
So I'm very pleased to do a little change of pace once again and bring you a positive motivational speaker who also happens to be a very successful owner of five car dealerships in Louisiana. I want to welcome and I was told it's OOB. So the R and the E are silent.
Is that how that works? Okay. All right. I want to make sure I say that right. Brett OOB, welcome to the program. Great to have you. Hang on one second.
Let me do a quick sound adjustment. I had the Clintons trying to jump in last time and they were echoing my sound. And every once in a while we get NSA, CIA, whatever trying to interfere with the broadcast. I don't know. Maybe they have a problem with biblical truth. Is that possible that they can have a problem with biblical truth? You never know what the deal is today. There's all kind of different situations that we had never seen before. Boy, isn't that the truth?
Isn't that the truth? So as you're going out, one of the things you're focusing on is trying to help people in the midst of a lot of challenging circumstances and situations. And I didn't give you my line. So when someone asks me how I'm doing, I tell them that for a guy that got in a fight with a truck and won, I'm doing quite well. I actually had to save my daughter's life by diving from the passenger seat to the driver's seat. And we impacted a truck at fifty five miles an hour. That's when you know, I had a plane crash in 14. And, you know, that's that we had two passengers on board.
Whenever we got out and we stood on the ground, I looked at them and I said, now you got to figure out what you're here for. You know? Yes, sir.
Absolutely. When you when you when you survive something like that, you're not supposed to. Really, at that impact moment, you go, OK, there's you know, the mortality just kind of flashed in my eyes. Now I got to figure out how to live the rest of my life being a pastor's kid, a pastor's son. Obviously, you have you have that piece of faith in your background. How does that impact your message and and and the success that you've had? Well, I think you have two types of ministers, kids, and one is the ones that really embraced it and, you know, wanted to live out that life and walk in their footsteps.
And then I think you have one that kind of rebels against it and then comes back around later and say, OK, that morality is has shaped my life. And I'm probably the second. And so whenever whenever I, you know, initially wanted to start speaking to people, I was probably seven to eight years old. And, you know, we were at church that night. And, you know, I really had the the and I think I have everybody has their own gifts.
And I think communication is one of mine. And I came home that night and, you know, I decided I wanted to be a minister. And so I pulled out the Bible and started preaching to my grandmother and my mother. And, you know, I thought that was the way that I wanted to go. And then, you know, I kind of shifted courses.
I became mature. And what I want to do is speak to everyone. And I want to provide hope, provide giving them a way forward and, you know, and taking people that feel stuck and give them a blueprint, not not a, hey, we're going to fix it for you, but give them a blueprint of how to figure that out, how to move forward. But so many people get start with these hopes and dreams and aspirations, and then they kind of start living daily life. And they zap that energy because they did not get in a situation where they continue to figure out what that broader goal is that they're trying to live for and move forward.
So would you say that the first step that you have to address then is is is figuring out what that plan is or what that purpose is and kind of developing a strategy? Well, for me, I think that first step is to try to repair your self-esteem. I mean, so many people I think there's self-esteem in all avenues of your life. I have some people I'll say that to and they go, I got high self-esteem. But you may have high self-esteem in your looks, but have low self-esteem in your ability to accomplish what your professional goals are. You may have high self-esteem in your professional goals, but have low self-esteem in your personal relationships. And so you got to kind of do a 360 walk around who you are and repair whatever that low self-esteem event is in your specific area. What are you finding are the biggest are there kind of a top three that that you can say these are these are three of the things that I can kind of speak to that that that may touch the broadest audience when it comes to that self-esteem issue?
The broadest audience that I see is really it doesn't. You know, there's there's less people that, you know, have the personal relationships and those people that have the quote unquote personal looks and the ability to hold conversation with people. And more it is they set out in life with these things that they want to accomplish. And then they hit their 20s and 30s and they kind of fall into the easy parts of life where they get their first job and they go down this path and they go down this road that is kind of the yellow brick road. And they first get started and they kind of give up on their big hopes, their big dreams.
And then, you know, they kind of wake up and say, OK, life's passing me by and they don't they don't figure out how to get back on that pathway. So I would say that's probably the biggest one that I said. And then secondary to that and kind of goes with that is financial. And then third is the health.
A lot of people just give that health go up. Would you say that what you just described is a big part of the reason why we see life's lives kind of explode to a degree somewhere between, say, 45 and 55, where people are going along, they're married, they've got kids, they've got, you know, kind of that kind of thing happening. And then all of a sudden it just kind of erupts, if you will. Is that perhaps because people wake up at that point and all of a sudden they're dissatisfied or frustrated that they've ended up where they are and they're not able to deal with that, per se?
I think you're going down the right road. I think you look in the mirror, you know, and what people want to do is blame their life circumstances and blame what's happened in their life rather than look in the mirror and say, OK, I caused this. That doesn't, you know, that's another, you know, quote unquote self-esteem event is rather than than look in the mirror and say, I caused this, they start blaming life circumstances.
And so you have to say, OK, I caused this, but that doesn't make me a bad person, that doesn't make me create any negativity on my part, but what can I do to move forward from this standpoint? I think people go down that road and take that quote unquote easy road and then 45 or 50, they wake up and go, OK, I've lived the first two thirds of my life, I've got a third left, and how does that look? And some people get frozen in fear and some people say, OK, I'm going to change this trajectory and go in a different direction, and that's a very small percentage. And so, you know, they blame other things, whether it's their personal relationships, finances, their situation with their career, and then they kind of, you know, make hasty decisions, which is probably the reason for the midlife crisis. Can a person make those kinds of changes and adjustments, do you think, within, you know, I mean, if they've spent 30 or 40 years, well, probably at that point, say 20, 25 years, in a familial situation, they have a wife, they have kids, they have all these things, people who depend on them. Now, all of a sudden, and it can be the man or the woman, they're like, oh, you know, I don't want to be, this isn't who I wanted to be, what have you. Again, you're saying, you know, people tend to point outwards and blame people in their circumstances, but isn't there a creative way then to say to the team that they're on, hey, guess what? I have some exciting ideas that I'd like to pursue, and let's all go on this adventure together. Is that not a reasonable response? Well, I think you have to, I think if you don't have your, you know, if it's your personal team inside your personal relationships on board, it's very difficult to be successful because they start looking to you for security, if that makes sense.
Whether it's a female or a male, so I agree with you. Number one is you have to have your team on board. Number two, the biggest mistake that I see is people want to make drastic changes. They quit their job, they cash in their 401k, they get some kind of business idea with very little experience, and they start doing that on a daily basis. And then all of a sudden, six months, a year, two years later, they find themselves in a position of non-success. And really, it may or may not be non-success, it may or may not, it may or may just be they took risks that they weren't prepared for. Right.
Got to count the cost before you try to build the building. We got to take a quick break. We'll be back with Brett Oubre right after this. You're listening to Children's Generation Radio.

And we pray for all of you that God would bless you and God would use you so that we can put more and more borewells in a poor and needy community, those who are really having a problem of the waters. God bless you and keep us in your prayer.

Look, I am for marriage between a man and a woman. I am for life from conception. I am for following the Bible and I believe that our founders started this nation on biblical principles.
I am in support of our military and believe that America should play a role in world security. I believe our Constitution was intended for a moral people and that the Bible contains the only true moral code. I believe we are all born sinners and that God in His grace and mercy sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins and that if we will confess our sins, He is just and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I believe salvation is not just accomplished in a little prayer but that it is found in how that transformation is lived out. Jesus is to be the Lord of our lives and we should follow biblical precepts. This is not legalism or works but a life lived out in love and honor towards the one who died for my sins. Faith without works is dead and is no faith at all. I believe that we will fall and that we need to have a repentant heart and that God will ultimately bring us into perfect action through Jesus Christ. Spirit man perfected and soulish man in progress. I believe that we are not to live in guilt and shame when we fall but we repent and get up and move closer to Jesus. I believe that if our nation will repent and turn from wickedness that God will heal our land.
I believe that as a Christian I must occupy until He comes and that to call evil wicked and to warn about those evil acts is a part of the mandated Christianity. That to love also means to be willing to take the risk necessary to confront a friend with the truth in hopes that their heart will be turned because their life matters even if it means in that moment they will possibly hate me. It means that I must risk scorn to stand for truth and that I can never sit silently by while evil attempts to conquer the world. God is my everything and Jesus is the love of my life. That does not make me weak but strong, not silent but bold and not fearful but courageous. Therefore if you are my friend while we may not fully agree know that I share what I share because I care. If you strongly disagree with these beliefs they are not debatable for me and you can if you choose unfriend me. I do not say this in anger but in love I wish for you eyes to see and ears to hear that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and that God not man gets to decide what is truth, life and the way.
God bless you. Alright welcome back to Children Generation Radio where no topics off limits and everything filtered through biblical glasses and my very special guest is Brett Oubre. And Brett why don't you tell folks how they can reach you and you do motivational speaking. I assume you do a lot of work with corporations, go to different conferences and things of that nature and I'm just guessing.
But talk up how folks can reach out to you and maybe hire you to come out to their conference and give their company a boost. You can reach us at my website which is my name, first name Brett, B-R-E-T-T, last name O-U-B as in boy, R as in Randy, E as in echo, dot com. You can reach us on Facebook which is Brett, middle initial K, last name is O-U-B-R-E on our fan page.
We've got a Twitter, same name, we've got a TikTok, same name and we've got an Instagram which is the same name as well and of course you can always email us at info at BrettOubre.com. What are the, I guess when you go out and at this time with, I mean because there's a lot, you know we kind of briefly touched on it but there's a lot that's going on, a lot of challenges that people are facing, a lot of uncertainty I think over the course of the last couple of years especially here in the United States with businesses and layoffs and just a lot of different things that are taking place. What are some of the words have incurred, you mentioned self-esteem and trying to help people to build up their self-esteem. How does that play a role for an employee in a business and how does that benefit the employer to have individuals that have a better sense of self-esteem? I think number one is, I think the best, well I shouldn't say number one, the only one is that until you paint the picture in your mind of what you can be, you can't reach that opportunity. So once you repair that self-esteem and it takes some time to do that, I mean the minute you birth an idea it doesn't repair overnight and I think that's one of the things here in the U.S. that we all want to take a pill, have one day worth of goal setting and then we want to repair the next day. I mean it takes some work to do that but once you repair that and you paint that picture in your mind of what you can and will be and you get to that stage in your life, the situation with your employer is you're going to see what success looks like and you're going to start actuating that success. And when you start doing that you're going to accomplish at a high level which is going to make you stand out with your specific situation and your employment.
When you do that your employer is going to start pushing you to the different opportunities within your company. And I think one of the missing links in our entire economy in the U.S. and probably abroad as well is that the people, you know, we're missing that person that wants to come in and put the fire. So you got a fire burning or maybe that's an artificial fire burning behind you but they want the fire to burn before they put any wood or fuel to make that fire go if that makes any sense. Sure, absolutely. And what you're seeing on the screen right now is Brett's website.
Brett with two t's, o-u-b-r-e dot com. Find a way forward, stop complaining, start achieving and there's a box there for how to book him for your next event. How far in advance do folks need to reach out to you? We have a schedule that we're basing on a quarterly basis so I mean it's, you know, obviously unless something cancels or something changes it's hard to get it within the 90 day period.
But usually within six months we can put them on the schedule and set the event unless there's some kind of personal conflict in that situation. But let me go back to what we were just talking about is that if you don't see yourself as the ability to achieve and you don't repair that self-esteem, it's impossible to achieve at a high level. It's impossible to stand out above everybody else because you immediately go back to whatever picture you paint in your mind. You know, a lot of people will say, hey, I want to lose weight but they still picture their self as somebody who can't do that in however way. You want to picture yourself as somebody who wants to be physically fit but you immediately go back to, you know, I'm lazy, I want to sit on the couch, I don't want to do that exercise. You picture yourself as somebody who's financially independent yet you immediately go back to, you know, I have my credit cards loaded up, I'm financially in debt. You picture yourself as somebody who wants to accomplish at a high level but you can't go that extra mile, get up to early, stay up a little later than everybody else.
And put that extra effort in and so until you change that picture in your mind, it's impossible to achieve at a high level. It's interesting, I've read the book and applied the principles of the book, Think and Grow Rich, which I'm sure you're probably familiar with. Sure, absolutely. And it's interesting because I think sometimes you have to read it the first time and maybe even a second time sometimes to really understand the significance of the title of the book. I mean, it kind of gives itself away, the title of the book gives away what you're going to find in the content and it's kind of what you're talking about.
It's, you know, as a man thinks, so he goes. How we envision ourselves as a person of faith, as a believer, as a pastor, I'm trying to help people to understand what the transformation is from who you are before Christ to who you are after Christ. And I think the church is not doing a good enough job of helping us, you know, people get bound in sin, whatever that might be. And they get trapped in it and then they go to church and they join a church where it's just kind of a club of other people that are dealing with the same issues.
And as long as you're dealing with those issues, you can be part of that club. And in reality, what Christ did was is he came and he truly set us free. It's easy to say, oh, he overcame death. Well, when you're dead, you're dead. Who's going to argue?
I mean, I can argue about that, right? Oh, I've got a better place. I'm going to be when I die. But what if what if just for a minute you could imagine a better place that you could be when you live? And that's what Jesus came and purchased.
He purchased a better place for us to live here and now. And it sounds to me like like, you know, your message of self-esteem is is a means of addressing that issue. And then if somebody wants to take that a step further and say, well, I really, really want to address this self-esteem. You've you've you've kind of got the the backpack to pull that out and say, well, let me tell you how you can completely fix this.
And that's really cool. Brett, thanks for being here. I greatly appreciate it. Such an important message. I appreciate you having me and I appreciate the opportunity to speak to your audience and appreciate the opportunity to start the influence. You know, anytime you look at anything, anytime you get touched by anything, whether it's a book, a material, a podcast or television program or radio program, when you first get the idea and it sparked. And that's that's what people miss.
That doesn't mean tomorrow you're going to be fixed. I remember when I first got the first read the first leadership book and got the first leadership opportunity. And and I read that book.
I didn't become a better leader. That took me seven or eight years. But the idea was sparked.
And I had to put the effort on. Amen. Brett Oubre. Brett with two T's.
O U B R E dot com. Check it out and think about having him speak at your next corporate gathering. Brett, thanks for being with me. I'll be back with more Children Generation Radio. George Carneal Jr. is on with me next. He's a pastor's kid, wrote a book from queer to Christ, spent twenty five years in the homosexual lifestyle. And he writes about that experience. And we'll have that coming up for you next here on the program. Back with more Children Generation Radio right after this.
