Link is in the description. Ryan, happy Wednesday, my friend. Happy Wednesday, my friend. It's hump day once again. It is, it is.
I have a hump day present for you. Actually, it's not really from me. It's from one of our listeners, Mark, who wrote in to the radio show. Mark. Mark lives over in Western North Carolina.
Mark, praying for you and the communities over there that are still impacted from Hurricane Helene. Yes. Mark wrote in related to your question about how long do you leave groceries out? Okay.
Okay. How long can you leave groceries down the street? He said for groceries, probably about five minutes with my wife and possums will definitely lay waste to your cheese puffs, my brother.
Trust me. Mark, it sounds like you're speaking from personal experience there. Mark, possums in the cheese puffs. Have possums gotten into your cheese puffs, Mark?
I would say, Mark, you got, you got bigger problems. If you got possums that quick, if you can't even leave food out for five minutes and the possums are that, you need to just, I would just get you a handgun and just shoot the possum. I think they get smart. I think they know if you leave them out for a while, they can wait it out.
They just hide in the bushes and wait for their. My dad used to shoot possums off the porch. I know that's like the most hillbilly thing to say on the radio, but I remember my dad used to.
That sounds like a line in a country song. My dad, growing up, my daddy shot possums off the porch. He had a pistol that he would keep in the basement and my mom was, he, my mom was terrified of the possums and the possums would come up on the porch and eat the cat food. And my mom would be like locking up the house at night and she would see it and it's little beady eyes and she would freak out and she'd be like, Michael, please, you got it. And he would be like, ah, Lisa, geez. And he would go downstairs, get a pistol.
And I'm not lying. I would hear him outside shooting, shooting a gun at the possum. To be fair, they do look kind of like alarming. It's crazy because like to me, that's normal, but I know like objectively that's kind of crazy. Like if someone, someone who does not live in the South is listening to the show, it's like, he's shooting a gun.
What is happening? He's shooting a gun in a residential area. And the answer is yes. A hundred percent. A hundred percent residential, depending on where you grew up, might be a stretch. Yeah.
This isn't in the suburbs. No, this is out in the country, but still like I remember him shooting it. So he shot a snake one time and I actually looked out the window and saw it scarred me for life. I saw the snake just explode. I was like, that's crazy. I was so torn up. That's crazy.
Yeah. Our verse of the day today is coming to us from first Peter chapter one, verse 22, since you have purified your souls and obeying the truth through the spirit and sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart. Funny how hard that is for some Christians love one another, you know, love one another. We tend, we tend to think that means, you know, just be nice. Just just tell people, Hey, I love you. Be there for them. But to love one another with a pure heart, that's hard to do.
You know how come? Cause I ain't got a pure heart, at least not yet. The Lord is constantly purifying my heart, but man, you know, I, I think I struggle with loving people unconditionally. You know, I love you conditionally. If you can do something, if you can further my interests, if you can be of some use to me or further my family's interests, like, yeah, I'm going to love you or at least I'll pretend to love you. But, uh, the Lord is saying, you know, you love those who can't do anything for you, who can't pay you back. That's what it means to love someone with a pure heart. It also says love fervently, which requires effort on our part. It's not just, I feel lovingly towards you at times when you are lovely or lovable. It's I am, I am forcing myself. I am taking action to love and show love toward you. That's a, that's a very conscious, that's an act of the will. That's not just feeling a hundred percent.
It's a very active process. And speaking of love stories, I just watched what I would consider to be half of the greatest love story ever told half half of it. I saw wicked part one. Oh yeah.
I finally saw the movie. Well, we're about to go into the gripe vine. So you tell me, welcome to the gripe vine. This is the segment of our show where we gripe about all those little things that annoy us. There's things that get under your skin. You know, life has a way of getting under your skin. And sometimes you just need a radio show segment to tell you about all the things that you're not annoyed about, but you should be. Now I will say this.
Sure. The movie it's excellent. I can't, I can't, I can't deny. I haven't actually seen the movie artistically on stage, cinematically, uh, vocally, like everything is excellent.
I can't lie about that. And all the things that I would have griped about, I think are done on purpose. Like the movie is very cheesy. It is not subtle.
It's a musical. So that's, that's why I give it a pass like that. It is not subtle at all. And so one of the things, the only thing I'm griping about is like, it's just, they give no, here's, here's what, here's what I'm griping about. They really, really, really expect me as the viewer to buy into the premise that this girl being green is weird.
That's a big problem. People like really do not like the fact that this woman is green. They, uh, it's not that she's from another place. It's not that she's from another, it's just the color of her skin. I get the metaphor.
I get it. But this is not America in the 1960s. Like this is not the south. This is a land where this woman, this baby, this green baby was literally delivered by a bear in a nurse outfit. Right.
And she hands it off to a wolf who's also in a nerf out, a nurse outfit. Right. And as the people are seeing this, this circus of animals, talking animals deliver this baby, they see this green baby and they, Ryan, they freak out. I mean, you've seen the musical. I'm sure it's the same thing, but never once in the movie do they ever explain, Hey, here's why it's a problem.
This woman's green. Right. The goat is a PhD. Right.
The college professor is a goat voiced by Peter Dinklage. And I'm supposed to buy into that. Everybody's cool with that. But the fact that this woman is green, they have a serious problem. And I wouldn't care if there was just something in the movie to say, Hey, here, like green people were, they were once evil or they were wicked or no, there's nothing. It's just, she's green and I don't like that.
And I'm supposed to buy into the fact that they want me. So it doesn't go away. Right. Throughout the whole movie. People, she's just the whole, the whole time she's discriminated against because of, because of her skin color and they can, and I get it. I get the whole, I get the whole, the um, the social commentary.
Yes. I get the commentary. I get it. Racism doesn't make sense. See how ridiculous, but there's gotta be some context as to why all these, there's no other green people, but there's bears and there's wolves and there's a goats like the goat. I'm so sorry to keep harping on this. The goat is a PhD. Dr. Dillamond.
Yes. He's a goat and he's bleating in the classroom. He's, he's upset that people are being mean to him, but also the people are mean to him and they're like, animals should be seen and not heard. And they're like, who would do this? They're outraged. I'm like, this woman's been treated bad her whole life cause she's green, but she's also a human.
Just like y'all. She's just green. It's, I mean, it's made, it's done in a way that doesn't make sense on the surface, but it really does make you start to feel sorry for Elphaba. I do.
You feel sorry for it's designed that way. So you feel sorry for the wicked witch. She was really off putting it first, but then when she, when she sang the wizard and I, I was like, okay, that's the real, which is again, this is what the musical is trying to do.
You see, okay, that's who she really is. She's this girl who's like full of hope and wonder and she just wants to be with the wizard. Like the wizard and I like rocked. That was a great song. I went back and listened to it like three times before I even went on with the movie. I was so enraptured by that song. I do kind of feel sorry for her.
I just, I just wish there was some buy-in. Why is green bad? You have an entire city, an entire city with the whole thing.
The whole point is that it's green. And she was very far from the weirdest looking person in that city. Right. She was like, like she was one of the most normal looking people there. She was in a black froat.
Yeah. Ariana Grande calls it a frock and a coat. She's like, yeah, she's just wear the froat. It's cute. But she's like in a black froat and green skin and that's it. Was it?
No, I didn't know that. That wasn't one of her lines. She just came up with that. I loved Ariana Grande in that movie because she's basically me.
She's like very spoiled, very high maintenance. There's a part where she's trying to get someone's attention and the Madame Morrible's attention is she doesn't get it. And she goes, I didn't get my way.
Oh, oh, I need to lie down. And I looked at my wife. I was like, I love her.
She's me. Ellie did not like Glenda's character. No, no. She never, she never bought into Glenda. I love the movie.
So here's, here's what I'll say. Cause I know there's a lot of Christians watching. That's like, why are you watching that? I thought with the marketing, it was going to be a hundred percent like gay agenda movie. It's absent. There is nothing gay in the whole movie.
There's nothing. I mean, there's, I think there's a character who's alluded to be gay just by the way he, he like acts, but never once is it mentioned never once has it alluded to all of the weird sexuality from the novel is completely gone. It's straight up the wizard of eyes. Yeah. It wasn't that way in the, um, the stage play, the, the, uh, the novel, it does some crazy stuff, but yeah, it does on stage.
They don't have any of that in there yet. And it's, it's not in the movie either. I think it's a completely safe movie to go watch as a Christian. And I think you're, if you like musicals, like if you don't like musicals, you're just going to be really cheesy and hammy. If you like musicals, man, I went in thinking it was going to be an eight.
I think it was like a, it was like a 15. I loved it. I was excited to see it.
I was blown away. I mean, I really was not expecting to say this, but I was very, very impressed with that movie. I watched it again the next day. I watched it again this morning, not the whole thing, but I had it on while I was getting ready.
Yeah. It's a great movie guys. And don't go anywhere. We're going to take a quick break and be right back with more clear read today. Hey, clear read today listeners.

Every single January we do something here at Clear View where we set a theme for ourselves for the year.
I think this is something that we started doing back in 2018. By the way, we should mention Dr. Shah is on the way back. I think he will probably either be on tomorrow's episode or the one after, just depending on when we can get him here in the studio. Praying for Dr. Shah, praying for safe travels. If you have not been listening the rest of the week, Dr. Shah has been traveling on a top secret mission. Top secret. Top secret mission. Can we say where? I think now that it's over.
To Washington, D.C. That's right. We'll be telling you a little bit more as he makes his grade in return. There's a reason we've been doing a lot of devotional's out of his or a lot of episodes out of 30 Days Praying for America. Stay tuned.
We've got some big news when Dr. Shah comes back. Every January, we set a theme for ourselves. I think this is something that a lot of churches ought to do.
We started doing this back in 2018. It's not like this is our focus for the year, but this is just our overarching theme. This is the culture.
This is the vibe this year, if I can say that. Theme is a good word for it. It's not something we are ignoring everything that doesn't have to do with this, but this just kind of informs all the decisions that we make. A lot of churches and a lot of organizations or even a lot of people will set goals in January.
When you don't meet that goal, you beat yourself up, and you feel like a failure, and then you don't set any more goals. But a theme is broad enough to where it's like, in moments where I'm going to think about it, I'm going to choose to be more this. One of our themes in 2019, I think, our theme was gratefulness. It's not like we're just going to say thank you all the time, but in moments where it's like, oh, I can think about this.
If I do this, it'll show some gratitude or it'll instill gratitude in others. Then we'll go that route. This year, we haven't really set this officially, but I think it's pretty clear, our theme is community. We are bringing Clearview back to a place where small groups are one of our main focus. Small groups are something that we have done. If you're listening out there, small groups may be something that you're very familiar with. It's not a novel concept.
It's not even a novel concept here at Clearview. We started small groups years ago. There are several of those groups that are still meeting and have continued to meet, have continued to faithfully gather together and do life together. When the world shut down in 2020, a lot of the small groups that we had died.
There were certain things that we had to be wary of, certain things we had to be cautious of. I think now, in the place where we are in our church's life and in the life of our nation, community is more important now than ever. It's important for us to understand, especially as Dr. Tra heads toward this series on end times prophecy, which I'm excited about. Yeah, that's going to be good.
I'm ready to talk about it on the show. We have to understand that in light of community, because end times prophecies were not written to individuals. They were not written to this person here or that person living in isolation.
They were written to the community of faith. You've got to think, man, in eternity, we're not going to be like, I'm not going to have my own little room where I can go in and worship Jesus privately and then go enjoy. We're going to be together for all of eternity. It's going to be a crowd. That's what the multitude is. We're going to be gathered around God's throne for all of eternity. We're going to live eternity in community. Someone told me, I have a coach who kind of coaches me through worship.
He told me this one time, and it has never left my mind. When we worship, we are doing something that's designed for all of eternity. It's like we're seeing a glimpse, kind of like a shadow or a dim image of what heaven is going to be like when we gather together to worship. A dimmage, if you will. A dimmage.
Very nice, dude. I like that. Hang on one second. There you go. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Ryan Hill, pun of the day is a dimmage. That was not the secret word. That was just off the top.
I kind of miss doing the secret word. I'm not going to lie. I know.
I'm out of practice. I think it's not a stretch to say that small groups is also a dimmage, a dim image, if you will. Small groups is something that reflects what we're going to be doing for all of eternity, which is living life in community with God's people.
Right. Small groups look like, and we talked about this this past weekend in service. Dr. Shaw framed it really well for us. We meet together in people's homes. There's a reason that we do that. We meet in each other's homes, share a meal together, talk about life updates, pray for one another, and we study the Bible together. That is a beautiful picture of what the church was doing in Acts Chapter 2. In Acts Chapter 2, start in verse 42, you get that description of the church being in each other's houses, studying the apostles' teaching, devoting themselves to breaking of bread and prayers, and distributing all the proceeds of selling their belongings to anyone as they had need.
It says, the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. One of the things that I think small groups gets wrong sometimes is that they become these small expressions of church and almost a substitute church. Not almost, it becomes a church. Yeah, it becomes a little mini church with a mini pastor and a mini sermon. That's never what small groups were intended to be.
That's right. Now, there was a time when house churches were a thing, and there was a time when churches had to meet underground in various places across the world. But that's not what we're after as far as small groups go. Small group circles is what we call them here at Clearview.
Small group circles exist as an extension of Clearview and as an avenue back toward the main campus of Clearview. That's right. I think we've talked about this on the show, but there has been an over, really, I don't want to say perverted, but it kind of is that it's a very gross over romanticizing of the persecuted church, meeting in secret church. Instead of that being a harsh reality of how a lot of Christians have to live, it's become something of an ideal in our minds where that's real church. This here, the building, the lights, the smoke, the theatrics of it, that's all fake. What the persecuted church is doing overseas, that's real and it's authentic.
So I want to do that here. And God has never called us to voluntarily live a persecuted life. He's not called us to live. That's a great point. It's true. And I think that's a lot of times what Christians, they mistake what they are forced to do as being authentic. But if you think about it, if you gave those Christians freedom to worship, just like we have, do we really think that the church in China or in Singapore or wherever they're doing secret church would look the way it does?
No. They would give their best to the Lord. And so small groups are not secret church. Some people have actually called it secret church. They do that. Well, secret church, that's a whole program. That's a whole thing that's put on. And, you know, there's merit to that and understanding, you know, what the church is going through overseas and other nations that we can pray for our brothers and sisters.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. But what I am saying, I think, John, you know, you hit the nail on the head when you said if you gave persecuted believers a choice, they're not going to pick persecution. That's not a more, that's not a purer form of Christianity.
That's not a truer form of worship. It's just what they have available. It's what they have to do.
Yeah. Simplicity is not the same as authenticity. Now, a lot of times it can be, but it's not that the more simple we go, because at the end of the day, what we do is we do end up fragmenting ourselves from the larger body and the body of believers, even when they're, when they have the theatrics, you know, they still have the word of God, the word of God is preached here. And so when you end up fragmenting yourself from that small groups really become something that it was never intended. And unfortunately we see that happen too often. That's why small groups here are so carefully curated. And I'm not saying that they're like controlled or micromanaged, but there's a set curriculum that goes forward with the vision. And I think Ryan, you can kind of talk about that because you were, I mean, we, we all were instrumental in that, but the vision casting that Dr. Shaw did with the church over the last two years, this is not something we just whipped up overnight.
No, no, no. And you know, we talked about this, this past weekend of talking about small group circles. Small group circles are biblical. We've talked about that a little bit. They're practical because people you know, it helps us in an organizational side of things, member care making sure we have people plugged in and making sure we have people cared for.
It helps in that regard, but it's also, it's a desired thing. You know, Dr. Shaw met with over 300 people over the course of the past few years and asked them, you know, what do you want Clearview to look like in the next 5, 10, 20 years, which I am so thankful for a senior pastor and for a church where that's talked about. There are so many places that don't even think about what next year is going to look like.
They don't even think about what December of this year is going to look like. Or, or there's a tribunal like of elders, right? And it says a board. And they're the ones that sit around and they cast the vision. And maybe the pastor is on that board.
Maybe he's not. Maybe the pastor is the only person who's casting a vision. But what I loved about it was we had, I mean, we had like seven or eight dinners where we just packed as many church members as we could into a room with a whiteboard and with the slides and the presentations up there. And then we got to that point where we passed out the papers and said, well, what do you want? Yeah. This is your church.
You know, what do you want to see? And a lot of it was people, I don't know if they had been to churches where that wasn't done, but a lot of people struggled. A lot of our people were like, well, you know, as long as Dr. Shaw just keeps on preaching that word out of that good book, I'm good. And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. You have to give yourself permission to dream.
You have to, you know, and if you can't, you have to challenge yourself to do it. What do you truly, what do you want out of Clearview Church? And through some struggle and through some praying and just a lot of meeting and a lot of compiling, I can't imagine all the answers that you had to compile and to get that list. We got those categories where people were like, okay, these are the things that our church has told us. We didn't dream it.
We didn't infer it. This is what was told to us that our church members want. And one of the biggest ones on there was we want small groups to come back. Yeah.
More often than not, themes related to you. And sometimes people didn't say small groups explicitly. Sometimes they did.
In fact, many times they did. But inferring what people meant through things like we want a place to connect with other believers here. We want a place to engage with the community. We want a place to engage with Dr. Shaw's sermons outside of Sundays or outside of the weekend. We want a place to study the Bible alongside others.
We want life experiences together. And when you look at all of those things from like a bird's eye view, when you zoom out a little bit, all of those things funnel into small groups. All those things funnel into community and doing life together. This is not a downside, but it's just a side effect of Dr. Shaw's preaching. It is deep.
It is very scholarly. And so one of the side effects of that is by the time service ends, there may be more questions. He can't answer every single question that a skeptical Christian or even a doubting Christian may have in a service where there's no back and forth communication.
He's up there talking and your question may not get answered. Small groups is the perfect answer to that. And one of the things that I'm most excited about the way that we're doing small group circles is that the curriculum is the same across the board for our circles. And it ties back to what Dr. Shaw is talking about on the weekend. Small group circles are a unique evangelistic opportunity because if John and I are friends and I'm not a person who is in church, I'm not interested in church, I'm probably going to be hesitant when he invites me to come to his church. But I will likely be more comfortable with the idea of going to his house and sharing a meal or going and meeting a smaller group of his friends who are hanging out and they're talking about life.
I would be more open to something like that. And then so the goal is the curriculum links back to Dr. Shaw's messages on the weekend. So that if you attend a service but you don't attend small group, then you'll miss out on number one, the community aspect of making sure that people are cared for and making sure that we're in each other's lives and making sure that we're growing together. And that deeper dig into Dr. Shaw's content because the content is an extension of the message. It's not the message. It's not just watching the sermon again. It's an extension of the message. You're going deeper.
You're digging deeper into these concepts. And you know, here's a good tip. If you're trying to facilitate this sort of unified culture and this unified vibe at your church, here's a good tip. The reason we know why this works is because we've been doing it in our Sunday school for the last two years. How long have we been doing it in Genesis and Genesis for Sunday school? We're coming to the end of it, right?
Closing in on three years. I think we've been doing it for about three, maybe three and a half years. The point is, the Sunday school curriculum is the same across the board. You don't have like one Sunday school class teaching one thing and another Sunday school class teaching another thing and then another one teaching another thing. Because that is how you get fragmented little churches inside the church.
All of the Sunday school teachers on all of the Sunday school classes are teaching the same thing week to week to week to week. So it's broken up by demographics like age and stuff like that. So we know that small groups operating the same way is going to, or at least we have a very, very good idea that small groups operating the same way is going to give us the result we want, which is people get deeper into the culture of your church, of your vision. And so the whole thing of bringing it back to the vision casting that we did, I think really was the key of why it's worked so well so far.
Yeah. The flip side of that is you get people coming to your small group, maybe your coworker who is agnostic and has just gone through the death of a loved one, or your cousin who has questions about Christianity. You get those people coming to your small group, and they're getting a taste of number one, biblical community. Number two, the message and the content here at Clearview. And they want more because the small group material is not the full sermon. So they want to know more of this context that you're studying. And that is more of a draw for them to come to main services here at Clearview.
So it works both ways. It's designed so that if you are attending services here, your experience is incomplete without being in a small group circle. And if you are just attending small group circles, your experience is incomplete without being in main services here.
Now here's something you haven't thought about. Oh. I don't like small groups. I don't like to be around other people and go to their house and have dinner.
Sure. So there are people, and this is the reality of working with people. There are people, myself included, who just shrivel up at the idea of going and spending time in people's house, especially people I don't know that well. I should be the good Christian and say, no, not me. I love spending time with God's people, man, just getting to know each other, doing life together. There are people who don't like it.
And I like what you said, because Ryan led from the pulpit this week while Dr. Shaw was traveling. I like what you said, which is, get over it. Seriously. Now, it was phrased a little better than that, but that's the advice. That's what I need to hear.
That's what people need to tell me. Get over it. This is how God has designed you. He has not designed you to want to isolate yourself. That's called sin. And you can say all the time, and I've said all the time, it's just how I am. It's just my personality.
It's just my bent in life. You could call it whatever you want, but it's against God's design. Your Christian life was designed to be lived in community. Isolation is the tool of the enemy. That's not God's tool. He's not going to strengthen you into a better Christian by isolating you.
That's literally how the enemy works, not God. And so, you know, one of the things like if you're dreading the idea of going to small group and being part of that and having it be a commitment, something that you actually put on your calendar and you have to do monthly or weekly or however often, if that's something that you dread, I would say, look at it the same way you look at it as working out or you're going to the doctor or eating healthy. It's something that you just have to do. And in time, you will grow to like it. I couldn't stand working out when I first started. I couldn't stand when I cut out soda, which I've been okay on cutting out the soda.
I've not had a regular soda in like a month now. Nice. Good for you.
Yeah. I hated it. I hated it. I really hated it, but I learned to like it and I didn't just get used to it. I actually learned to enjoy working out, to enjoy not drinking soda, to enjoy eating right, getting up early.
All those things that I dreaded, I don't dread anymore. In fact, I look forward to it. And small groups is the same way because things that are good for you, you do grow to love.
That's right. And I think that's something that God is even working on me. I'm excited about doing small groups because that's a challenge.
That's not a thing that I look forward to because I just love it so much, but it's a way that God is going to help me keep growing. And I think that was a really good part of the message you shared. Absolutely. Small groups are something that's vital for us. It's vital for not just us here at Clearview, but it's vital for believers to have life where you're living authentically next to one another. You're doing life side by side.
That's right. And when Dr. Chuck comes back, we'll talk about this more. This is going to be a big focus for us, not only in January, but all throughout 2025. So we'll probably be doing a lot more episodes on small groups. Maybe how you can grow your own small group at your church if you're thinking, well, that ain't but like 15 of us, we can just meet as a small group on Sunday mornings. I think you're going to see that that change of scenery, that change of even structure is really, really beneficial.
And maybe we can help walk you through that as we're walking through it ourselves. Make sure you guys join us tomorrow, same time, same station. We're going to be diving into another great topic here on the Clearview Today Show. Thanks again to our sponsors for making today's episode possible.

Jon, anything you want to plug as we close today? Absolutely want to plug Dr. Sean Nicole's book, 30 Days of Praying for America, Daily Devotions to Heal Our Nations, available on Amazon right now. It's actually book three in the 30 Days devotional series. You can also pick up our original music on iTunes or Spotify under Clearview Worship.

We did great and awesome. It's coming out very, very soon. Can't tell you when, but it's coming out very, very soon. We'll probably play it for you on the show when it's out.
