Ready? One, two, three, $20,000. What? What? You said for real? No, I didn't get $20,000. We were supposed to do our taxes.

Oh yeah. April 15th, brother, you're not done. Yeah, you got to do that. The IRS is coming, man.

They're going to come knocking. I thought the government did that where they just took taxes out of my check. That's just all done.

You know what's funny? I thought that. Really? In 2015, when I had to do my taxes for the very first time, I thought that. You did your taxes for the first time in 2015?

Yeah. Or maybe 2013. How old were you in 2013? I was 21. It was here. It was here. I think, yeah, it was here.

It was when I was here. Now, I did have taxes where like my mom took care of it, but here when I first started. Oh, like you personally had, okay.

When I first started. I bet you meant the first year you had to file taxes and I was like, that can't be right. No, but my mom took care of it because I was a teenager looking at home and she just took them all to TurboTax. But when I started here, I was it was 1099.

It wasn't W-2. So I thought that. You know what I did?

I had to take out a small loan to pay my taxes. Ellie might not want me saying that on the air, but either way, welcome to the show. We got a great, great episode today. Today is the last episode that me and Ryan are here without Dr. Shaw. It's been fun, man.

I've had a lot of fun with it. I like the Hawaiian show. We're celebrating with one last hurrah before Dr. Shaw comes back.

But we got a great, great season of shows lined up for you when he does come back. We got a great show today. But first, let's check in with Harold B, longtime listener to the show.

Check. Harold B says, Hey, Clearview Today team just wanted to say how much I appreciate what you guys do. I'm always grateful for how you keep things real while keeping the focus on Jesus. Thanks, Harold.

Harold, my friend, you've been listening to the show for years. You know, that's what we do over here, brother. Also, could you lift up a prayer for my wife? She's starting a job soon, and we're excited, but there are definitely some nerves.

We're trusting God to go before her and give her peace in this new season of her life. Thanks again for everything you do. Keep up the amazing work, Harold B. Yeah. I think Harold B has written into the show most of the time. I think he, if I'm not wrong, his name is Harold Berman, which is the kid from Hey Arnold. I think there was a thing where he wrote in one time, Harold, if you're listening to this, man, write in the show and confirm. I think his name is Harold Berman. Harold Berman is the kid from Hey Arnold.

He was like the bully from Hey Arnold. But man, yeah, we'll be praying for your wife, man. Absolutely.

Yeah. Hey, it's important to remember, and this is for anybody who's stepping into a new situation. Maybe you're starting a new school, you're starting a new job, you're moving. You're not stepping in there alone. If you're a believer, God has already gone before you.

God is already there. He's paving the way for you. And keep us posted on how things go, Harold. We're excited for you.

And for your wife. That's a great song we do here at Clearview Church. It's called You Hold It All Together.

It's by Maverick City. One of the things we do is we pair that song with the hymn, Great Is Thy Faithfulness. But man, there's a line in that song that I really love. I'm confident as seasons change, your faithfulness remains. And you know, when you're young, seasons don't really change all that much. Yeah, you may graduate high school and that's going to be big. And like, yeah, you might start college. But like the older you get, you start getting married. You start having kids.

They start going to school. Man, like seasons are going to change on you real quick. And it's funny how like 30 years, it really is not that much to prepare you for all the ways that seasons will change in your life.

So that song always stands to remind me that you can be confident in those seasons changing, not because you're strong, not because you can handle it, but because God is faithful. That's right. That's a great, great. So beautiful. I just have one question for you as we start the show today.

What is that? You've pressed the button, so I'm going to go ahead and say yes. I did it. This one is not that bad. But this is the second one of our show where we talk about something that we did. Or maybe our question, did I really just do that?

It's kind of embarrassing, kind of cringe worthy things. Earlier, and he does not know I'm going to talk about this. Nicholas is right over there. He's our camera operator, our engineer, our switcher. His girlfriend is here at the church.

Shout out to AJ. She comes here on some Fridays and she works in the office and she's cool. I put her in a very awkward position earlier. Oh, no.

Why would you have done that? I didn't mean to, but then when I noticed it, instead of being like, oh, hey, sorry, I kind of created a thing here, I doubled down. Oh, I doubled down. And I think I made the situation kind of uneasy for everybody. Oh, no.

Myself included. And so now I'm feeling kind of insecure about it. So rather than going and talking to her and Nick, I'm going to talk about it on the radio. I want to talk about it here. Of course.

Just to make it even worse. What did you do or not do or attempt to do? I asked David, I started by asking David, hey, are you going to the gym?

Sure. David said, I already went this morning, so I'm not going. I said, all right, well, shoot, I guess if you're not going to go, I'll go with Nick. What's up? You got something to say? Get on the mic if you got something to say.

Why represent me like that? That's what you said. That's what you said.

Yeah, I said that, but I'm not going to go. All right. Finish the story. So I said some cookies. So yeah, I ate some cookies.

So what? All right. So I asked Nicholas, hey, Nick, you want to go to the gym after this?

He said, yeah, I want to, but I don't think I can. Now right there. I should have knew because AJ was sitting there. Sure. Right there.

I shouldn't do. Oh, AJ wants to hang out tonight. Right.

Friday night. Sure. It didn't, it didn't click. It just didn't click. Yeah. So I said, it's been a while since you were on the dating scene. It's been a little while.

So I said, what you mean you can't? He was like, ah, I just don't think I can go. And he was like kind of avoiding eye contact. I was like, now that's not Nicholas. Nicholas in the gym, six days a week, six, right? Six days a week. So I'm like, that's not in Friday.

I know it's not his rest day. So I said, what do you, why, why aren't you going to go? And so then finally I saw AJ kind of look up at him and it clicked him.

I was like, oh, they've got plans now right there. I could have just let it go. Like, oh cool. All right.

Let me duck out. I said, Hey, I don't think AJ would mind if you, if you went big mistake, I shouldn't have did that. Cause now she's, she's kind of like, you know, when you're new to a friend group and you don't want to like start pushing back too early, that's where she was. And she was like, I think me and Nick, we're going to hang out.

I was like, now Nick, now you know, these gains ain't these gains. They'll go get themselves brother. And she was like, and he was like, AJ, can I go? Can I go?

Cause I could say he wanted to go. He's like, can I go AJ? And she was like, I think we'll, we'll, we'll hang out tonight. We're just going to hang out. And he was like, I know, but I do want to kind of go to the gym and just lift for a little bit. And she was like, well, we'll probably hang out tonight. And I was like, oh man. So I was wearing an undershirt, but I pulled up my sh my pullover to show her how my stomach is kind of hanging over my belt.

Why would you do that? And then I made her look at it. I said, Hey, look at this here.

You want Nicholas to end up like this? And she just looked really uncomfortable. Like she just wanted the whole interaction to end. So I wasn't even there and I want the interaction to end. I kind of, so I walked out. I was like, I was like, all right, whatever. Then I walked out and I was like, ah, man, I don't think I made her very comfortable. So I went and got a plate of cookies and I brought the cookies back in that said, Hey, you guys want some cookies? And then nobody took one except for her. So I really, I really goofed up.

You have this. I know that was a cookie taken out of pity. I know that it was. If you couldn't hear Nicholas on the microphone, he said she didn't want one, but she took one out of pity. You have this tendency to like when a situation turns uncomfortable and you have an out, I think I'm just going to double down.

I don't know what happened man. Like, cause I was hating myself the entire interview, but I couldn't stop. I knew that she was uncomfortable and I should have been an ally to her in that moment.

So AJ, I know you don't listen to the show probably on principle at this point, but I just want you to know, Hey, I want you to know that I don't care if you and Nick hang out and no matter how much you think you hate me, no one hates me right now more than me. I can't breathe. I want to ask if you've ever, so, so to answer the question 100% yes in living color and at full volume, I feel like, should I, should I try to make it right or should I just let this die? I think you probably should just try it. You should try to let it, you should hope that it should. I engage AJ one more time to try to make this right or you should hope that it died. I think that at this point you have to engage her. I don't know that you can't leave it.

You probably going to make a speedy rescue. Now you already know that she didn't really want the cookie. You've got to address that. I got to address that.

Do you think I should confront her or just try to smooth things? I think you should go back and be like, Hey, I'm sorry about the cookie. Here's my stomach again. She didn't see my skin. It was just my undershirt, but it was, I was trying to say, yeah, it was kind of weird.

I said, I just didn't want Nick to end up looking like me. That's all. That's all. I'm wildly uncomfortable. Let's cut the break. We're going to take a quick break right into the show and give, I don't even know what you can respond to with that, right?

If you've ever landed yourself in a situation where you're, you try to end the awkward interaction, but your mouth keeps running and get you into trouble. Two five two five eight two five zero two eight. We're going to take a quick break and be right back with more clear view today.

Welcome back to Clearview Today with Dr. Abaddon Shaw, the daily show that engages mind and heart for the gospel of Jesus Christ. That's right. Today's verse of the day is coming to us from 1 John chapter 4 and verse 15.

It says, whoever confesses that Jesus is the son of God, God abides in him and he in God. The gospel is not simplistic, but it is simple. That's right. There's not a whole lot of steps. You don't have to memorize 75 different tenets of a catechism. You don't have to go through the motions of religious liturgy. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the son of God, that's it.

That's right. And when we hear that word confess, we typically think of like, we've done something wrong and now we need to confess our sin. Like I have to say it out loud or really admitting that I've done something wrong. But to confess that Jesus is the son of God, that's not like a casual thing. That's not just saying like, hey, I goofed up.

Hey, I made a mistake or I did this. It's not checking a box. It's not repeating something. It's a life-defining declaration that I confess today that Jesus Christ is the Lord. It's saying, I believe Jesus is who he says he is and I am choosing to align my life with that truth. That's what confessing Jesus is.

That's right. And so that kind of confession carries weight. There's a weight to it.

And that's why he says, even Paul says in Romans 10, 9, if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe that God raised him from the dead, if you do that, you will be saved. There's a real weight to confession. Yeah. And I think it marks this shift in who we are.

It marks a shift in our identity and where our loyalty lies and what our purpose is. Do you remember, this is something that Christians do, do you remember The Little Rascals? Yeah. I remember the movie came out in the 90s, but I didn't know that, it was a show before that. It was like a show back in like- Oh no, I didn't know that. When it was like black and white TV. Like back when probably- Oh, okay, maybe I didn't know that. When like Elizabeth was in like grade school or whatever.

Yeah, black and white TV. But there, I was actually thinking about Nicole, but Elizabeth's name came out. I'm sorry, Elizabeth. But it was definitely before our time, but there was an episode and it made its way into that movie from the 90s where Spanky starts this like exclusive club.

I'm sure you heard it. The He-Man Woman Haters Club. So it's this club against girls and Valentine's Day and the color pink and all that stuff. And they had this really elaborate pledge that half of the kids couldn't even say, right? That's a lot of times what Christians do.

We create these really exclusive clubs in Christianity based around all this pedagogy and all this like doctrinal truths and all this stuff that we don't even understand, but we're pretending like we do. And we're saying, okay, there's Christians and then there's deep Christians, there's real Christians. Right.

John says, whoever confesses Jesus, God abides in him. Right. And it is as simple as that. Right. There's depth to the Bible, there's depth to theology, and we can spend our entire lives studying and we will never truly understand everything there is to know about God.

Right. But the path to God, the essence of the gospel is simply admit that you need salvation, believe that Jesus is the means of salvation, and then accept that gift of salvation. So this will touch your heart as a student pastor. When I got saved, I was 15 years old. And the church that I was at, I think this is what we do here, but when students get saved, we give them a Bible and the pastor would write like a little something in it. And I still have mine to this day.

I thought I lost it years ago and my mom found it in her attic, thank goodness, because I never wanted to lose this. But it's the Bible that I was given when I got saved. And my student pastor at the time wrote in it, hey, John, so proud of you for like, I wish I had it.

If I thought we were going to do this, I would have brought it. But it said, so proud of you for accepting Christ this past Wednesday night. The Bible says that the same power that rose Jesus from the dead is living in you right now.

And then he underlined, that's awesome. And I remember it was being like a really cheesy student pastor thing to write, but that changed my life. And I never, ever forgot that he wrote that in my Bible. And from time to time, I think about that, the same power that rose Jesus from the dead, because that's powerful. That's the most powerful thing that ever, and it lives inside of me. And from time to time, because he took the time to write that out and underlined, that's awesome.

And it made me laugh. I still remember it. I think about it and it has changed my life. That's beautiful. I mean, that, that, of course, as a student pastor, that makes me happy, but it shows the importance of, you know, being there for people, showing up for people and walking that journey with them. Don't just lead a person to the point of salvation and say, okay, don't love it. See you in heaven. That's right.

Walk them through those steps of discipleship and encourage them. And just like your student pastor did for you, the same power that rose Jesus from the grave is living inside of us. That's what we cling to.

That's what we hold to. And that's what we lead other people to as well. Well, yeah, you're right. Because abiding in Christ is a critical part of discipleship. You know what I mean? Like if you're, if you reject Christ, you're not neutral.

You know, you're not like, well, I'm still trying to figure things out. If you're rejecting Christ, the Bible says that you are abiding in sin and darkness. You're going to abide somewhere. There's a, there's a verse in John, the Gospel of John in chapter 15. I think this is the whole, the vine and branches passage. But he says, abide in me and I in you, as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. So there's like tons of imagery here where Jesus is the true vine. And these fruits that he's talking about are the souls of people. A lot of people think it's like the fruit of the spirit, but it's, it's really the souls of, of the lost. They're the fruit of the vine that's hanging down off the branches. And so the branch doesn't eat its own fruit.

You know what I'm saying? And he talks about like, he even goes forward and he talks about these withered branches that are dry. They, they get cast out into the fire.

Those are the ones who doesn't hear. But basically all he's, all this imagery is coming to say that Jesus Christ is the true vine. And if you're on that true vine, you'll always be alive, which is, which is the eternal life of Christ. And so I've always, I've always appreciated that imagery because there's a lot of times where like, especially in the New Testament, all the doctrine and all the stuff gets so deep, good, simple illustrations like that. I mean, Jesus really knew what he was doing.

He knew how to communicate the gospel effectively. Hundred percent. And that idea of abiding, it has the idea of a personal, intimate, committed, enduring and reciprocal relationship. Yes.

Yes. It's a, it's something that's that persists, but it's also something that we, uh, you know, actively are working on. Abiding is not just sort of passive. Like we think about, it's not just kind of like we're kicked back and you know, we're just, we're just being, we're just abiding. We're just, we're just vibing with Jesus. Christians love to say that because it means I ain't got to do nothing. I'm just, I'm just kind of abiding. I'm just gonna sit here and just, just really dwell on the Lord. It says it's in the word about you just bide your time.

Yeah. That's not what that means. Abiding is, is clinging to and recognizing and reckoning yourself with Jesus. And it's something that you have to consistently re up. It's something you have to do every day because we have a tendency to not abide. We have a tendency to drift. We have a tendency to try to pluck ourselves from that branch and then we end up being like those withered branches that are disconnected from the, from the source of life.

That's right. He says in verse five, you know, talking about all that imagery, he says it himself, I am the vine. You are the branches. He who abides in me and I and him bears much fruit for without me you can do nothing. He says, if anyone does not abide in me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered and they gather them and throw them into the fire and they are burned. If you abide in me and my words abide in you, he's using that word over and over to try to drive this point home.

It's a rhetorical device that he's using. You will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you. By this my father is glorified that you bear much fruit so that you will be my disciples as the father loved me.

I have also loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love just as I have kept my father's commandments and abide in his love. So everything, and this is a key theme throughout the Gospel of John is this relationship between God, the father, God, the son, and then eventually us.

This relationship that is like a vine, like you said Ryan, it's intimate, it's personal, it's committed, it's reciprocal. This relationship is a really key theme throughout the Gospel of John and Jesus is really, really, really hammering at home here in this passage. That's what discipleship looks like is when we learn what it means to abide in Christ.

That's the walking with God that you hear us talk about on the show sometimes. Your Christian walk, that's where abiding takes place. Abiding isn't the moment of salvation.

The moment of salvation is where you are grafted onto that vine. But abiding is continuing, it's remaining, it's choosing daily to deny yourself and to follow after God. That's where that abiding comes in and John answers it in that verse. I mean, he quotes Jesus there but he says, in verse 9, as the father loved me, I also loved you. Abide in my love.

How do you do that? He answers in verse 10. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love just as I have kept my father's commandments and abide in his love. The relationship between the son to the father, one of submission and obedience, paints the picture for what we are to do in submission and obedience to Jesus' commands. The result of that is in the very next verse because he says, these things I have spoken to you that my joy may remain in you and your joy may be full. Even in 1 John 1, he says the same thing.

He kind of confirms his own writing. He says, and these things we write to you that your joy may be full. The life of abiding in Jesus is not passive like Ryan said. It's a life of joy. It's not painful misery. It's not the same as saying, I'm just going to endure to the end. That has a connotation of, okay, you're going to endure suffering.

Abiding is a much more positive word. It's a life full of joy. It's a life lived in relationship with the father. In fact, in the very prior chapter, previous chapter is the word I'm looking for.

I couldn't get the word previous out. John chapter 14, he says, and that day you will know that I am in my father and you in me and I in you. It's almost like a prelude to what's coming in chapter 15. He who has my commandments and keeps them is he who loves me and he who loves me will be loved by my father and I will love him and manifest myself to him. Jesus answered and said to him, if anyone loves me, he will keep my word and my father will love him and we will come to him and make our home with him. There's a sense of there is relationship with the father. If you're in me, you have direct access to God and to the people like for us on this side of the cross, it's easy or it's kind of hard to separate Jesus and God.

Most people, I would say most Christians are comfortable saying that Jesus is on the same level as God. To his audience in that day, that was wild. That was really wild. So the weight, I do feel the weight of that over the centuries has been lost, but I'm trying to put myself in the mind of a Jewish person saying, like my mindset is I just want to get to God. I want to have a relationship with God and Jesus saying you cannot if you don't come through me. That's crazy.

That's crazy. You know, I'm thinking about the times in my life where I, over the course of my life, I got saved when I was seven. And over the course of my life, there have been times where I have felt like God and I are, we are close.

We are tracking, I'm following him, I'm clinging to him. And there are other times where I felt like I have wandered away. And you know the times where I felt like I was closest to God were the hardest times in my life.

It was the easiest for me to focus on abiding in God and for me to choose that and consistently pursue that when I was going through some turmoil or some difficult situation or some heartache. And as I'm sitting here thinking about that, I'm like, man, God, thank you for those times that were tough. Thank you for those times that were difficult because it really made me almost hyper focus on, I need to cling to God because without him, I have no hope.

And those were like the training grounds for the good times where it's easy to trust in my own ability or trust in my own talents or trust in my own skills. But God is the one that I need. He's the one who's given me everything that I have and everything that I am. I need to cling to him. And it wasn't until those difficult moments and even those difficult moments now where that's really kind of galvanized in me.

Yeah. I almost feel the opposite with my life where it may be not the opposite, but like I tend to feel closer to God in the quiet moments of good. So like there are moments in my life where like when crisis comes, I'm ashamed to say it, but I usually don't turn to God. I usually am like, all right, I got to fix this. I got to start making moves. I got to start making phone calls, talk to people, get on.

I got to attack this problem now so it doesn't grow. And over the course of my life, I still haven't learned that I'm the one making the problem grow by jumping on it without going to God first. But typically I find that in my life, I feel closer to God in those quiet moments of life is good right now. It usually happens in the morning.

A lot of times I'll be in the shower and I can hear through our really like paper thin walls, like the kids playing and laughing and like Ellie will be talking to them or she might be singing them something or making the breakfast or they're watching TV. And like just the quietness of the morning, or really if you got kids, the chaos of the morning. But it's in those moments that I typically remember God and I say, God, thank you for my life. I don't always make the best of it. I don't always appreciate it, but I have a good, good life. And I think both of those, like your situation and my situation, both of those are great examples of just how you can abide.

Because a lot of people say that. What does it mean to abide in God? I think those are two great examples right there. And so for you, maybe your life, it's where do you find God? Where do you remember God? Do you remember him in the quiet moments? Do you remember him in the turmoil, in the chaos? Do you remember him somewhere in between?

Do you remember him all the time? It's that coming back and saying, God, I just want to be close to you, right? I just want to find myself in your presence.

What's that song that Leland did? I just want to be where you are. That's a great song.

I know I've been recommending a lot of songs lately, but that's a great one. It's just the simple plea, God, I just want to be where you are. I think there's no more clear heart to abiding than that. That's a great prayer to pray daily, too. God, just put me where you are. Let me be in the center of your will.

I pray that often for myself, for my kids, for my family. God, I want to be in the center of your will. I don't want to be a hindrance.

I don't want to be on the outskirts. I don't want your will or your plan to pass me by. Put me in the center of what you're doing and help me to stay there in obedience and humility. Break the things around me that I look toward to try to find satisfaction. Let me just follow after you.

Let me just chase you and let me just hold onto you. And the abiding, too. I was thinking about it, what you said earlier, how abiding is not passive.

I fully agree. I think there is an element of rest, you know what I mean? When I say rest, I don't mean passive, like, okay, I'm just going to live my life resting. But I almost, and maybe this is a silly way to think of it, maybe we should bring it up to Dr. Shaw when he comes back. Maybe this is a silly way to think of it. I always think of it like a save point, like a rest point, where it's like, okay, I've tried this on my own. I've made a mess of things. Let me come back to the last save point and just rest for a second and come back to you and say, God, I messed this up.

I need you. There's almost like a reset. When I think of abiding, I sort of do think about that rest and that reset and this, okay, now I'm ready to try this again the right way. I don't know why, but that imagery always comes to me when I think about the abiding in Christ.

Yeah, and I think that's a great point and it's a great concept for us in our Christian walk. If you realize you've made a mistake or you realize you've gone the wrong direction or you've stepped away from what God has for you, back up to the last safe setting. I think about restoring a computer. Go back to the last restore point. Go back to that point and figure out what went wrong. Most of the time, it's because we deviated from where God is. We started to wander off on our own.

Yes, that's true. You know that this is not a passive Christian life because God is, kind of like you said up top, God is going before you in each of these steps, right? The more progress, the more real good progress that you make in your life. It's not like you're wandering away from where God is static and you're wandering away from him and then you get off, so you have to start over. God is going with you. God is actually going before you to make all that success possible so that when you wander off, God has, it's not that he moves in the sense that he's changing, but he is moving you forward and he's the one moving along with you.

So you don't have to go all the way back to the beginning. Some people think that. Some people think that I messed up. I got to get saved again and start my Christian life over.

That's wild. That's not the way God works. Nope.

No, there's no abiding in that. So good, so good for us. Guys, make sure you join us tomorrow, same time, same station. We're going to be diving into another great topic here on the Clearview Today Show.

It's been great talking with you guys, but I'm going to tell you, I'm going to really be glad that he'll be back in here tomorrow. Yes, it's not the same. Without the three of us around the table, it's not the same.

It's not the same. I'm glad he was able to go and film, but Dr. Shah, we have a mystery, my friend, and we'll be seeing you tomorrow on the Clearview Today Show. That's right. Make sure you guys tune in. We love you guys. We'll see you tomorrow on Clearview Today.
