That's right. We want you guys to help us keep the conversation moving forward. You can support the show. You can share it online with your friends and your family. You can leave us a good five star review on iTunes or Spotify, anywhere you get your podcasting content from.
We're going to leave a couple of links right there in the description so you can do just that. Ryan, it's finally Friday. It's finally Friday. I'm free again.
I got my motor running for a while weekend. You reference that every week, and I still have not heard that song. Oh man, they used to play that on the radio. They had all sorts of radio sound effects on it.
They had stuff like this right here. Yay, it's Friday. Contrary to that amazing setup, I'm actually in a terrible mood.
Oh no. I'm actually gonna... Happy Friday? I'm livid. Yeah, no more questions because I'm a little mad, and I'm tired. Okay, it's coughing season.
It's winter time. We all got to cough. We all got it. Dr. Shaw said on the show a week or so ago, after Mike's cut, he said, hey, why don't you get a couple cough drops so we can just keep them in the studio and if everyone's got a cough, instead of stopping... Couple, like a bag or two. Get a couple bags, right? We said, let's just get a ton of cough drops and keep them in this thing.
It'll last us the whole season. He said, yeah, absolutely. Go for it. No problem at all, right? Sure, sure, sure. So you explained to me why this was full last week. You take a good look at this internet.
I know if you're on the radio... Do you listen on the radio? It's a container. It's a big container.
It's like the size of my 15 inch laptop screen. And it was full last week. It is currently half full. That means probably a hundred or so cough drops gone in seven days. I think that someone is eating them like they're candy.
Who's eaten... All right. Now I'll be honest. I have utilized the cough drops.
They're helpful, especially when I'm recording a bunch of episodes, getting ready to teach a bunch. I have utilized the cough drops. I have not had half. Who's eaten the cough drops like candy?
I mean, I hate to make this parliamentary procedure, but unfortunately that's exactly what it calls for. Ryan, did you eat the cough drops like candy? I did not. Nicholas, did you eat the cough drops like candy? You did not. David, did you eat the cough drops like candy?
Okay, so who's telling a lie? Was it Dr. Shah? Was it Dr. Shah, David?
You don't know? Did Dr. Shah eat the cough drops like candy? No, not that I've witnessed. Nicholas, did your dad eat the cough drops like candy? So somebody's lying.
So what's going on? Did you eat the cough drops like candy? I've had like 40.
No, I don't really use them that much. There's one that's not even a rapper. Someone took it off and put it back in. Someone chased it that and didn't like it and spit it back in there. Seriously, this was full last week. I'm trying to figure out what's going on.
And I'd hate to have to bring big man on this, but if Dr. Shah's coming, if nobody fesses up, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Now I'm going to give it to the count of five for somebody to get in their microphone and fess up. Five, four, three, two. It was Nicole. It was Nicole. I'm just kidding. Just kidding.
Get Dr. Shah in here. Because now we're no more Mr. Nice Guy. Now you're getting the mess. I think we're encountering the problem that they've done by design in lacing the cough drops with sugar. They taste like sweet sugary goodness.
Yeah, true. So like, this is delicious. I'll have another. I have a tickle in my throat. I thought maybe putting like the authoritarian voice on it would get the perpetrator to fess up, but it didn't. Do you ever do that thing in school or do you see where someone takes something and the teacher's like, I'm going to leave the room and come back in and if it's where it's- And it better be back. Yeah, if it's where it is, I'm just going to drop it and we're not going to- nobody ever did it. Nobody ever- whoever saw it. No. And we all knew who it was. Kenny, go put it back, dude. No, I don't have it.
She can't prove it. Kenny, dude, we're all going to get in trouble. Yep. And then we all got in trouble.
Yeah. Run in and let us know if you are a cough drop fiend. How many cough drops have you had the past week, listeners? Maybe you were the ones coming in the media room and taking your cough drops. That's crazy. Maybe it was you all along. It's a coded lock on the studio door. How did you do that?
Interesting. Two five two five eight two five zero two eight. Or you can visit us online at ClearViewTodayShow.com. We'll be right back. Hello, Clear View family. I'm Nicole.
And I'm David. And we want to talk to you today about the Clear View app. You know, there are so many churches out there that put their sermons on YouTube and their announcements on Facebook and their prayer list on Periscope.
I didn't even know Periscope was still functional. Oh, it's not. And that's why nobody can find their church's prayer list and nobody's prayers be getting answered. But here at Clear View, we believe in making our content as accessible as possible. That's right. Clear View produces so much content every single week, including Dr. Shaw's sermons, original music, a full online store, weekly prayer gatherings, and so much more. Not to mention the number one best selling Christian talk show of all time. I don't know if that's accurate.
Well, maybe not yet. But that's why we want people to download the app. If you're listening from the Triangle area, we encourage you to check out Clear View Church in person. But if not, you can still follow all of our content on the Clear View app.
It's 100% free on the Apple Store and Google Play Store. And best of all, all of our content is right there in one convenient spot. Make sure you download the Clear View app today, and let's get back to the show. Welcome back to Clear View Today with Dr. Abbadon Shaw, the daily show that engages his mind and heart for the gospel of Jesus Christ. You can visit us online at ClearViewTodayShow.com. If you have any questions or suggestions for new topics, send us a text to 252-582-5028. That's right.
We're here once again in the Clear View Today studio with Dr. Abbadon Shaw, who's a PhD in New Testament textual criticism, professor at Carolina University, author, full time pastor, and the host of today's show, Dr. Shaw as the head and the lead pastor of Clear View Church. I feel like we've put a lot of implementations into specifically our staff, and I feel as though immaturity or really, I think that's the biggest one has led to maybe a wandering from that vision. So for instance, you wanted these cough drops to be in here. I was about to tell you, can you put that away?
But it's part of the... This is part of a point that I'd like to make an opinion on because you implemented this as, hey, if we cough, let's just have a cough drop. Last week this was full.
These are not breath mints. So great point, great point. Because last week, and I may be going a little extra here, but I think you'll agree that last week this was full.
So less than seven days ago, the line was up here. There's one person who's eating it like a squirrel eating nuts. Right. And I think, correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not trying to be passive aggressive here, but I think it was said when we did this, hey guys, this isn't candy. Right.
Get one if you have a cough. Right, right, right. But if that wasn't said, maybe we should, but I feel like it was said, specifically by you. I did, many times. I guess the larger issue here, Dr. Shah, or really the heart of the question is how did this happen?
Do you want me to show you a picture of what it looks like now? I would never call your leadership into question, but I feel as though if there's staff in the room and they're blatantly ignoring advice, godly advice that you give. If cough came from the gut, I think he is good to go. He's got plenty of cough drops inside, not as much for the throat. Yeah, not as much in the throat, not as much in the lungs. I just feel as though maybe this was something that should have been addressed.
Perhaps we could address it off mic. Maybe that's good. I'll give a word to the wise, if you are out there and you're eating cough drops for breath mints, that's not what they're there for, is to help your throat.
That's true. Especially if they're the kind that have, what do they have that should not be taken? Is it like menthol or something? Menthol, yeah.
Like that opens your airways and opens your sinus packages. But there's some that's out there that have zinc in it or something. What is it, that one that somebody was telling us about? I can tell you. It's like if you take zinc, yeah, David just said zinc.
So don't overload on that. That's right. They're not breath mints. You have way too much zinc. They're not peppermint. Yeah.
Zinc. I got some. I keep some Altoids in here. Now, spoiler alert, or really disclaimer, I should say, I pop these a little too often. I think you do. I pop the Altoids a little too often.
My biggest fear is that someone would be like, your breath stinks, and then I'd be like, you know what? I have to move stakes. No, no, no. I'm just going to pop one. No, no. That was two. I'm just going to pop one.
Puts five in his mouth. I'm really terrified of someone smelling my breath, especially after lunch, because I eat stinky stuff. I eat Dijon mustard on my sandwiches and stuff. I think people who constantly look at their phones, I think you may be addicted to Altoids. Could be.
Could be. The thing with Altoids is they work. That's why I like them so much. A lot of other breath mints are just pure sugar. They may as well just be candy. But I like them. Altoids do work. I mean, they are good mints.
I do. That was actually, Nicholas is the one who turned me on to Altoids. They're curiously strong. That's true.
That's very true. The other thing is they produce bad radio, because now I've got a bunch of Altoids. Just two.
Yeah. Why would you take two? Why do you think two would be much better? He always puts two in. I always put two. I don't know why, because I feel like I have to overdo it.
Because here's why. And I've had this discussion with Ellie, too. Ellie will go in the bathroom and brush her teeth with a moderate amount of toothpaste. It smells great. The whole bathroom smells great. I can smell it away from her. I brush my teeth with a lot of toothpaste, and I never smell... I feel like at best case scenario, my breath just doesn't stink.
But it never smells good. That's because you're in there. That's because you're in there. You're in the bathroom.
What do you mean? You're the one applying the toothpaste, so you smell it as soon as it hits your nose and you get used to it. But even when I come out of the bathroom, I don't smell it. I feel like no matter what I do, the best case scenario is that it smells like nothing. That's because it's in your mouth.
What are you talking about? What are you talking about smelling the toothpaste? Have you ever got out of the shower?
And Dr. Shaw, you too. You get out of the shower, and you can smell the soap on yourself, and you're like, I smell really good right now. Sometimes. Not if it's a new one. Because I've never had that. Really?
No. I feel like no matter how much I put on, the best case scenario is I just don't stink. So always if I go to take one out to it, I'm like, may as well just go and take two. Because I want to actually feel like I have good smelling breath. Could it be that it's just your nostrils are like...
They're supposed to open up with warm air, right? I don't think so. I mean, that's perfectly plausible and very rational, but I don't think it applies to me. No, I'm just joking. Could be.
Could be. The verse of the day today comes from Hebrews chapter 11. No clue what just happened. To hear that over here, Hebrews chapter 11 verse 22, by faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel and gave instructions concerning his bones. Mm. Okay. You had a lot of foresight with Joseph. Absolutely. I think Joseph is one of those that I'm... You did a series on Joseph a while back, and I think he's...
It's kind of weird to call him underrated, but I think he really is. I think Joseph, we focus on the immediate story of Joseph, but a lot of times we don't really see the subtext of what's going on under him and how God used that story to provide. One of them that I never really thought of was this idea that you put forward in one of your sermons about how he says, what you meant for evil, God turned around for good. Just like in that verse, he had that foresight to know that what you guys meant, it was never going to be that. That's right.
You know what I mean? God had a plan through all of this. His father showed preference for him, as you know, and he did that because of a foresight. He did that through the presence of God in his life, that he could tell that God was going to do something with this young man. He was going to somehow be a blessing to the rest of his brothers and his family.
And so with that in mind, I think his parents, you could say he raised him a little different. And he went on to fulfill that prophecy, I guess, and be the one who suffered, but at the same time became the deliverer for his people, delivered them through famine. And in a sense, I would say Joseph was a type of Christ. Joseph was one of my favorite stories in the Bible.
Mine too. I love the story of Joseph. When I was in high school, I did theater. And my senior year I played Joseph in our production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Not biblically accurate for those of you who haven't seen the show. But in order to get ready for that role, I went and I read the story of Joseph probably 10, 12 times leading up to that performance.
And from that moment on, it's always been one of my favorite stories. I love the story of Joseph because of his faithfulness, because of his continued reliance on God, and his reminders that, yes, this bad thing happened to me, and I'm not going to call it a good thing. But God used that bad thing for my good and for everyone else's good.
God used even an act of wickedness to bring about goodness and salvation. And being in a foreign culture, that appeals to me because I can see how difficult it must have been for this Hebrew young man to be in Egypt at a very difficult time because people were coming in. A lot of Semitic people were coming into Egypt, and they were not trusted. They were looked upon with suspicion because, not sure, are you here to start a rebellion? Are you here to infiltrate? What are you up to?
What are your motives? And at this time, God uses somebody so unlikely and raises him up to be the second in command in Egypt. Can you imagine that?
Second in command. I can't believe that. That's crazy. God really was the most powerful nation on the earth at that time in history.
Yeah. And I love what you said, too, that it was such a cultural difference. And I think that's what we want to talk about today. It was funny because we did an episode a couple of days ago talking about the whole play rehearsal, like people coming up and talking to you. So somebody in the church listened to that episode and was talking about it. And they said, you know, I really love the theater ministry here at Clearview. And they were surprised when they first started coming because word gets out. You know, when you do plays like we do, word starts to get out in the community and the surrounding communities like, hey, there's a great theater ministry here at the church. And I think what people thought when they first started coming, at least this person who talked to me, they thought that we did like Christian skits. You know what I mean? Like, you remember the Life House skit and the You're All I Want, You're All I Need and stuff like that? That I think they thought that's what the theater ministry was.
And so there's a lot of discussion with people, not discussion like, why do you do this? But they just didn't know we were doing full on plays, secular plays. Yes. Like we've done Wizard of Oz. We've done, what are some of the plays that, cause you, Oh man, Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Charlotte's Web, Anne of Green Gables, It's a Wonderful Life, Little Women, Tom Sawyer, I'm blanking on the rest of them. Wizard of Oz?
Wizard of Oz. Yeah. That might be, I think those are all the ones we've done so far. But I think it's interesting because people aren't expecting it. And I've never met anybody who has a problem with it, but I think definitely people are, the idea is there that's like, I just never would have expected that y'all would do secular plays in the church.
Well, unless there's like outrightly evil, like Jesus Christ Superstar or something like that. Yes, we will do secular plays and, but, and we will also study them to see if possible, we can share the gospel through them. And that may happen through the play, that may happen through the opener where I talk about the writer and his life. Many times they're Christians, many times they're not Christians, but they have a certain appeal that helps us to say, okay, they were not, but can you imagine what the world would be like if they were? Or the actor, like we did the It's a Wonderful Life, Jimmy Stewart, and we focused on Jimmy Stewart's life.
You know, I focused on, in the opener, I talked about Jimmy Stewart and how, what kind of a man he was and was he a believer and how did he live his life? And so those kinds of things really appeal to people. They actually enjoy that opener because that's, that helps them appreciate the show even more.
That's true. That's my favorite part because it elevates it from just a performance. Now I'm learning, now I'm growing, and now I'm connecting this to a deeper issue with either world history or, you know, we, a lot of the shows we do are period based. So kind of like that nostalgia, that different time in American history and even, you know, issues of faith where we talk about how this relates to our walk with God and it takes it beyond just, hey, we're putting on a performance. And just like God, and maybe this is, maybe, maybe this analogy has, has some holes in it, but just like God worked through people in the Bible, like Cyrus, who were not followers of Yahweh, is it possible that God is working through these authors that the reason that these plays are so successful and so iconic is because God wants to use them in some way?
And maybe us doing these plays is sort of a fulfillment of that, where we can use principles that these writers stood on to share the gospel with people. Absolutely. All truth is God's truth. Amen. So based on that, we, we, yeah, we, we, of course, Bible is the word of God without errors, inerrant, inspired, infallible word of God, authoritative.
I can go on and on. It is the word of God, but there's truth in the world. Of course, there's truth in natural laws, but there's also truth about life that's out there. I mean, proverbs, you find some of those proverbs in the world.
So does that make them wrong because they're found elsewhere? No, they're, they're, they're true. Some of these stories have a lot of truth in them. And so when we perform them on the stage, in a sense, we are sharing the truth of God. That's true. That's very true. One of the things I love to remind our actors of as we're rehearsing, as we're, you know, sometimes you get into the, the nitty gritty of details and just kind of get, like, in the, especially at this point, we're leading up to our Christmas production of A Christmas Carol.
You sort of get bogged down with remembering my lines and remembering my blocking. I remind them that, you know, what we're doing in telling stories on stage is part of the image of God in us because God is a storytelling God. That's throughout most of scripture, God communicates his truth through narrative, through telling stories. And when we're telling these stories, like you said, Dr. Shaw, all truth is God's truth.
We engage with that part of God's image within us. There's something very powerful about fiction. And I think a lot of people are gravitated or gravitate towards fiction and towards movies and television and TV shows because we search for meaning in stories. You did a great series on the parables a few years back that basically focused on that, that Jesus himself understood, I mean, where do stories come from? They come from that, like you said, that truth and Jesus understood that better than anyone. That's why he spoke in stories, because stories, and I don't know what it is, I'm definitely that way. Whereas if someone tells me, hey, this is true, it's like, okay, I'll trust you and I'll believe it and I might observe it. But if I listen to a story that someone tells me and I discern that truth, it sticks.
And I don't know why that is, but maybe that's just the way God. But Jesus had a preference, like a predilection for people who are normal, everyday average people. And he would share the gospel with them.
He would talk about everyday life. And before you know it, they were receiving that truth with joy. And that is what we're doing in a sense, cultural mandate is bringing the gospel to the level of where the average people are. So Charles Dickens, we're doing Christmas carol.
I mean, what child doesn't know, what adult really, let's start with the adults, children may not know, what adult doesn't know the Christmas carol? They know, they've seen it, they've seen the cartoon, they've seen a movie, and so now we're presenting it in a way that they can see it and then we share the gospel. That's right. Yeah, that's right. You know, part of all this is part of something that we call our cultural mandate. That's something that's kind of ingrained in Clearview Church's identity. Do you want to talk about that a little bit, what our cultural mandate is?
Yes, absolutely. So years ago, I read a book, I think it was a Nancy Murphy's book, I'm going to pull it up here if I can. It's called Nancy Murphy. Just to let you know, Nancy Murphy, famous person. She was at LaBrie, Francis Schaeffer's famous sanctuary, if you remember that. And so she's a philosopher, theologian, and she wrote a book, if I can find the name of that book, it's called Total, what is it called?
What is it called? Hang on. I'll look it up. I have the book. Total Truth? Total Truth. That's the book. Total Truth.
So in that book, if you can pull up that book, maybe read some of the things in it. Is it Nancy Piercy? Nancy Piercy. Not Nancy Murphy.
God. I see Nancy Murphy. Total Truth, liberating Christianity from its cultural captivity. Yeah, Nancy Murphy, I think wrote the book on the Southern Baptist Convention, if I'm not wrong.
I may be wrong. Nancy Piercy wrote Total Truth. Yeah, Nancy Piercy, yeah. Liberating Christianity from its cultural captivity. First, this is an edition, yeah, there it is, there it is. Great book, by the way. Is God a public figure?
Does Christianity have a legitimate role to play in the public realm of politics, business, law, and education? Wow. That was the premise of her book.
Okay. And so I didn't read every single line of that book, but what I did walk away with is that we should be making an impact, but more than that, we should be capturing, or not capturing, capturing sounds so barbaric. It's more of impacting, I would say, the culture. We should be impacting and sweetening the culture or seasoning the culture with the gospel of Christ.
I learned that from Nancy Piercy. It's a great point because I think a lot of Christians are so interested in just being countercultural. A lot of times what I hear is that Jesus was countercultural, man. The culture went this way and Jesus just went the opposite way. It's like, yes, that's true, but then the end goal is I'm just changing me. I'm not impacting the culture.
I'm just going against the grain. I mean, so, you know, she says when they relegate religion to the strictly private realm of faith and feelings. In total truth, Nancy Piercy offers a razor sharp analysis of the split between the public and private fact and feelings.
She reveals the strategies of secularist gatekeepers who use this division to banish biblical principles from the cultural mainstream, stripping Christianity of its power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture. That's true. How many times have you heard someone say, is this a movie or is this a Christian movie? Yeah. Right.
Is this a bookstore or is this a Christian bookstore? Well, you know, there's that age old thing. Like you turn the radio on and within two seconds, you know, if you listen to a Christian song. Yes, of course.
Yeah. And that's, you know, I hadn't thought about it, that it was an intentional shift and to separate them where it's like, I mean, because there's music, which is everything. And then there's Christian music, which is its own thing. Same with Christian entertainment and Christian books and Christian literature. It's like it's separated in order to make it lesser than, because I can't think of anybody other than Christians who would say, yeah, I like Christian music better than music. But even then it's just saying that it's not really music. It's not really movies.
It's not really entertainment. It's some sort of sub category, sub, not just meaning different, but sub meaning lesser. Just to clarify, Nancy Murphy did not write about Southern Baptist history. That's Nancy Ammerman.
Okay. So many Nancy's. There are a lot of Nancy's on the document today. We're going to need to get some different names. Let's just mix it up a little bit. Get you a name tag or something. Yeah.
Nancy might be more, wrote more about philosophy and stuff like that. Gotcha. Gotcha. Okay.
I love your reminder too, as we head toward play season and we, you know, we do two, we do two shows a year. And I love your reminder of, you know, God is a creative God. Yes. Obviously, you know, in Genesis, God creates the world.
He speaks it into existence. And if God is a creative God and we have the image of God and the, the spirit of God living inside of us, we, as Christians should be some of the most creative people on the planet. Absolutely. So this is not us just getting up, you know, throw in some painted, like a cardboard on the background and like, you know, maybe some like a different shirt as costumes. No, we, we go, we go for excellence.
Yeah. Wait till you see VBS. If you've never been to Clearview before, wait till you see VBS. That was what really blew me away and sold me on the creativity of this church because VBS is a, when I say it's a powerhouse, I mean, it is a community game changer. And it's because God deserves excellence. God just, if we're conveying a truth that is larger than ourselves, a biblical truth about who God is, we should be doing that with excellence. Not perfect. We'll never be perfect, but we should pursue excellence. And it's not just that I prefer to be excellent. No, it's more than just a predilection.
It's I am going to strive for excellence. Yes. I did it twice. What?
What did he say? Predilection? Yeah. Oh man. I've been doing it.
I've done it twice. Predilection. Well done. Yeah. I didn't even hear it. That completely, I heard you say it, but it completely just, I was like, yeah, predilection.
That's how the, that's how the game's supposed to be played. Wow. Well done. Genuinely. Well done.
That's going to be a round of applause. Well done. I like, I like the way that you said it though.
Very, very nice on the secret word. I like the way that you said it because it truly is, I think this really gets at the heart of it is that being excellent and pursuing the culture is not something to do once you have your ducks on the road. It's your responsibility. Yeah, absolutely. And in adopting that responsibility, you find meaning and you also help other people find meaning as well. Yep. Especially when it comes to the gospel. Amen. That's right.
Shameless plug. If you guys are in the area or you're nearby, A Christmas Carol at Clearview Church is coming up on December the 7th and the 8th. Tickets are available. They're $5 a piece, doors open at 6 and the show starts at 7 p.m. both nights.
It's about two hours with an intermission in between. We'd love to see you there. If you're not in the area, we can forward you a link to United Airlines because you can come to the area. Like you can fly across the country for this play. And be here for the show.
You know what's funny? We're joking around, but I guarantee you there's people who'd be willing to do it. Yeah. They would do it.
If you could fly, people have flown here for conferences, they wouldn't know why you can't just fly here for a play. I mean, it's an excellent show. Our actors and our team are doing a great job putting it together. It's an excellent show. It is. It really is.

Jon, what do you want to plug as we close today?
Definitely want to plug, well first and foremost, we already plugged the play. Make sure you get your tickets today. We also want to plug Dr. Sean Nicole's book, 30 Days of Praying for America, Daily Devotions to Heal Our Nations. This is a great book.
There's 30 separate individual devotions that go through the real history of our nation and the biblical principles that you can apply to your life and how you can be praying for our nation in individual ways. Also want to let you know about our debut album. It's Heaven Here and Now. There's a collection of songs that was written by Dr. Sean, myself, David, some of the guys on the worship team. It's a great, great album. Make sure you pick it up today on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, Rhapsody, anywhere digital music is sold.
That's right. Find a church family to worship with this weekend if you're in the area. We'd love to see you at Clearview Church here on Saturday night or Sunday morning. Lots of great content coming your way next week. Make sure you guys tune in. We love you guys. We'll see you Monday on Clearview Today. We'll see you next time.
