Best of Kingdom Pursuits

This is Stu Epperson from the Truth Talk Podcast, connecting current events, pop culture, and theology, and we're so grateful for you that you've chosen the Truth Podcast Network.

It's about to start in just a few seconds. Enjoy it, and please share it around with all your friends. Thanks for listening, and thanks for choosing the Truth Podcast Network. This is the Truth Network. Kingdom Pursuits, where you hear from ordinary people instilled with an extraordinary passion. Together, we explore the stories of men and women who take what they love and let God turn their passion into kingdom pursuits. Now, live from the Truth Booth, your host, Robbie Dilmore. So many times I wish that, like, I don't know how to praise God enough for having the job that I have.

Can you imagine, like, having the Christian Car Guy Show to just have the calls that I just had from these unbelievable saints? And then I get to do this show with two unbelievable poster children for, you know, how does God take your passion and use it to build the kingdom? And our first guest, apparently, wow, I'm excited to hear about the story behind this, but it's a new author, Gwendolyn Burton, who wrote the book, You Don't Know Just How I Feel, Hope for the Grieving Heart. So Gwendolyn, based on that title, it sounds like it came from a deep place. It would help if I pushed the button so you could be on the air, Gwendolyn, but you're now on. Good morning. Good morning.

So share with us how that looks like. It sounds like it was the story behind that. Robbie, I tell you, there certainly is a story behind You Don't Know Just How I Feel, Hope for the Grieving Heart. And that story began in 2016, when my then 26 year old son suffered a seizure. He had epilepsy and passed away.

And it's known as sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy. And with his transition came a journey that I never thought I'd be on, a journey of grief, a journey of learning to navigate that grief journey and dispelling some of the myths, some of the misconceptions that surround grief. Oh my goodness, yeah. And so that's where this book came from.

Not only those misconceptions in the world, but Robbie, those that we experience in the body of Christ as well. Oh yeah, You Don't Know Just How I Feel is so well put, and I love the title of that. And so I know we're all excited to hear, you know, the journey, but also the hope that's on the other side of that journey.

Absolutely. And the other guest today is also somebody kind of new in what they're doing. We have Tony Boyd, who is with Team Jesus.

Everything is possible. And so, Tony, how fun to have you this morning. Great to be here, Robbie, and thanks for having me on. I'd just like to add a little bit first of what you said there about getting to come to work every day to worship and praise God and to speak about Him. And to go just a little bit beyond that, what an awesome honor and privilege it is for you, for me, to be chosen by the Creator of everything to represent Him. What an honor.

Oh yeah. You know, it's just like if you chose somebody to go out here and represent you, you're going to hold them to a pretty high standard. And He holds us to a higher standard.

And I don't take the privilege lightly. But to move on to Team Jesus' ministry, we're a local outreach. We're in our infant stages. We do things for people in the community there, buy groceries for needy people. We take a group of underprivileged children to Walmart every year and give them money to buy their own Christmas presents. Just anywhere we see a need, we try to fill it in. And Team Jesus is represented by this beautiful yellow Corvette, one of the new Corvettes. So for you to see that car, you know, you can see that obviously there's a really high standard. But in order to lower everybody's standards, you know, I have to do my shenanigans. Speaking. So speaking of feel, right. So Gwendolyn, you know, as we start these, it's just, you know, part of what we do in the show every week is we try to have a little bit of fun to lighten things up with before we get real heavy duty, which obviously we're going to get there. But to begin with, since this has to do with feelings, right? So speaking of feel, you know, for those who don't know, my wife's name is Tammy. So I feel like Tammy and I don't speak the same language sometimes.

I say long distance relationships. And, you know, she says, I have a restraining order. Oh, no, that's not the right language. Right.

And remember, said the boss, there is no up. That's a different. That's a different joke. That was last week's joke. I've never recycled a joke in the middle of my jokes.

But anyway, there you go. But anyway, speaking of feel, a fly feels a bug on its back. You've been wondering about this, haven't you? And the bug and the bug says, Hey, fly on my back. Are you a might? And, and he said, I might be giggles the might.

That's the worst pun I ever heard groans the fly. What do you expect says the might. Are you ready for this?

Yes, let us know. All right. All right. I came with it. I came up with that on the fly. I came with it. I came up with that on the fly. So yeah, there you go.

And are you sweating whilst putting fuel in your car these days, feeling sick when paying? Well, you know what you might have? Are you ready for this one? Yes, we're ready. Are you ready? You know what you may have?

It's the car owner virus, the car owner virus. Okay. And I don't know if you've heard about this, but I told the guy who gave up on Superman comics, right? I am told I said that wrong.

So I got to get my jokes right here. Tony. I am told the guy who gave up on Superman comics. You know what I was told about him? No.

What were you told? He feels marvelous. Must've been his kryptonite.

He feels marvelous. You liked that, didn't you? Gwendolyn? Yeah. You thought, well, okay. You knew that Marvel made all the comics.

Okay. So here's the actual riddle that you knew was coming on today's Kingdom Pursuit. And I do like this one. Whose faith made Jesus Marvel?

So speaking of Marvel, as we just did, who in the Bible did Jesus Marvel at their faith? If you know the answer to that, you could call in and win. And we got an exciting gift today, don't we, Carmen? So call them, tell them what they'll win. If you know the answer to Robbie's riddle today, go win a family four-pack tickets to the dash. See them take on the Asheville tourist, August 23rd. Yes, that's August 23rd.

And from what I understand, this may be their last home game. So this is your last opportunity to be dashing before the snow, so to speak, in a one-horse open. 866-348-7884, 86634. Truth, you just have to tell us whose faith did Jesus Marvel at? Again, 86634. Truth, and you could win those dash tickets.

We would love for you to do that. So Gwendolyn, I know everybody's kind of wondering the same thing I'm wondering. So you had no hint at all that he was epileptic when he had that seizure?

You know, Robbie, and first of all, thank you for having me today. But yes, my son Miles was diagnosed at age 21. Now I have another son, my older son, Robert, was diagnosed at 18 months of age. So we had, our family was very familiar with epilepsy. Our family, you know, we volunteered, we thought we had all the facts about epilepsy. But when my son Miles, my younger son, was in college, I got a call that said, Ms. Burton, Miles was in the library studying.

Imagine that a college student in the library studying. Yeah, it could happen. And had a seizure. And so I flew out to Boston. Oh wow, I hate to cut you off, but we got to go to a break. And so when we come back, we're going to hear a lot more from You Don't Know Just How I Feel, Gwendolyn Burton's new book, as well as Tony Boyd with Team Jesus.

Everything is possible by glorifying God. I love it. Love, love, love his yellow Corvette. So we've got so much more coming up. Stay tuned. Announcer You're listening to the Truth Network and truthnetwork.com. Welcome back to Kingdom Pursuits where we hear how God takes your passion and uses it to build the kingdom.

And today we have got, again, poster children for that. I feel so blessed to have with us Gwendolyn Burton. She is a new author of You Don't Know Just How I Feel, Hope for the Grieving Heart, as well as Tony Boyd with Team Jesus.

Everything is possible. Romans 828 is right here on his card. And, you know, really, really neat. Oh, by the way, I should mention that somebody called in.

I thought they were going to win the tickets to the dash, right? All you got to do is tell us whose faith did Jesus marvel at? Pretty easy. Whose faith did Jesus marvel? I love that story.

Like, well, there was a situation there in the Bible where Jesus marveled at a guy's faith. Now, that's pretty interesting. That's pretty fascinating. Don't you think, Tony, that you're stumped? Well, that's okay.

There's a listener who's going to call 866-348-7884, and they will be dashing before the snow on April 23rd at the ticket. But anyway, during the break, you were telling me, you know, this is really, really cool that you feel like everybody on earth has a purpose, right? Right. I believe God put everybody here for some specific reason, you know. Some find it, some don't.

No doubt, you found what you're supposed to do. And everybody has a different opinion of why God put man here. Here at Team Jesus Ministries, we live by one thing. Man was put here to please God. And so, the whole ministry is built around pleasing God by glorifying Him. Anything we do, whether it's we buy groceries for people that are having a hard time, they just send us a message on our Facebook page, and we ask no questions.

We just go get the groceries and deliver it to them. But we make sure God gets the glory in everything we do. And when we do that, that pleases the Father. You know, even Jesus said in John 8, I do all things that please the Father. And I know you've heard the Scriptures say it is impossible to please the Father without faith.

Oh, you couldn't be more right. And you know, I love the line in Chariots of Fire, right? When I run, I can feel His pleasure, right? You remember that?

I've never seen the Chariots of Fire. Eric Little was a runner, and he was supposed to be a missionary in Africa. And his sister was complaining to him in the movie that, like, you need to be a missionary in Africa. Well, I'm going to go be a missionary in Africa, but first I've got to run, because when I run, and he was an Olympic runner, when I run, I can feel God's pleasure. Well, what's really neat about what you said, Tony, is that in the Lord's Prayer, right, we all pray it every single time, I hope, and frequently I pray it a couple times a day. And it says, you know, our Father art in heaven, hallowed be to the Lord, and we you know, our Father art in heaven, hallowed be your name, right, thy kingdom come. And then it says, thy will be done. Well, the interesting thing about that word will, if you, and I like to look at words really hard, so if you take the word will, and you look at it in the trans, you know, if you took it from what the Septuagint would say, the Hebrew equivalent word of that is the word Ratzon.

Well, Ratzon in Hebrew means delight. And so what you're actually saying when you say your will be done is, Jesus, I want you to be, or Father, I want you to be delighted, right, which is, I want you to be pleased, right, because if he's delighting, right, you're feeling his pleasure, right, it's the same kind of idea. And I often think about that, I actually, you know, have what I call the RSV, that's the Robbie Standard version of the way I pray that. You know, because I usually will say, you know, you know, your delight be done. And then I say, instead of give us this day our daily bread, since Jesus is our daily bread, I always give us this day our daily Jesus. Exactly, you know, just maybe getting off just a little bit there, we talk about the Lord, we can go in any direction the way I see it, but you talk about his will be done. And so many times people pray and they don't think about his will, they think about their will, you know, and so if I ask for anything, I ask for very little, mostly forgiveness of my sins, but of course, you know, being a truck driver, I ask for a safe trip, and then I always add to it, if it be your will, you know, and people all the time telling me, Tony, I pray for you, I hope, I hope you have a safe trip out there, and I say, well, me too, but you know what, the worst thing that can happen to me is the best thing that could happen to me, because I would be with Jesus, you know, and so whatever the Father's will is, that's got to be our will also.

It's actually because God is for us and who can be against us, right? Absolutely. So if something along, comes along, he's got, he's got something that's going to be absolutely unbelievable, like what is the case? Obviously, Gwendolyn, I know everybody's broken hearted about what your family's been through. Obviously, you have a lot of experience with epilepsy, but I guess we got to get to the point where we can kind of understand a little bit of what you experienced. Can you take us there?

Oh, certainly. After my son, Miles, was diagnosed with epilepsy, I actually, he was, his epilepsy was controlled with medication, and so this was certainly unexpected, and so when he passed away, I was just, our family was just, you know, thrust into this place of, what happened, how could this happen? He was okay 10 minutes before we went downstairs, and he had had his suffer disease or face down in his bed, and so we, I never knew, I couldn't have known then how God would use my grief journey to encourage, to uplift, and to provide validation and comfort to others on their grief journey, and that's how the book came along.

You don't know just how I feel, that's how it was birthed, and so I just began writing this book. I'm guessing that somebody came along, and I can kind of picture this maybe in the funeral line or something like, I know how you feel, I'm guessing you're mirroring something that you heard from someone. I'm mirroring something, the title, something that not only I heard, but as I've spoken with countless others, they've heard as well, and actually that is one of the statements that grieving people have told me that really causes them a little angst. When people say you don't know just how I feel, you don't know, I'm sorry, I know just how you feel, and I believe that we cannot know exactly how a person feels. Although we may have similar or common losses, we can't know exactly how a person feels, a grieving person feels, because each of us has a unique relationship with the person who died, our person who died, and so that's how that title came along.

So what, you know, obviously people are, it's an awkward thing, right? I, you know, to go to a funeral of a parent that's lost a child, it's really unthinkable, and so it's awkward. What would you tell somebody would be a better thing to say? A better thing that someone might say is, I know that you're in deep pain right now, and although I don't know, I can imagine that you're hurting deeply and that I'm here for you, I'm here to support you, something of that nature.

Right, something where you feel like that they are, you know, essentially on your side and wanting to be there in the difficult times. So, you know, you had mentioned that obviously you went into this place of unbelievable pain, and what happened, what was the turnaround? Let me say that for me, there, although there has been, I've learned to navigate my grief journey, I've learned some of the things to expect, there has not been a, I would say a point where there is a turnaround. I believe that, to some degree, that I will grieve my child for the rest of my life until the Lord joins us together again, but then I also believe that there is hope, and as I move forward on my grief journey and knowing that I don't have to live with the excruciating, raw pain of loss that I experienced during the first, and I'll say early years, and that's subjective for each person, but that I still experienced the first few years after Miles transitioned.

July, he transitioned in July, so this past July, was six years, and although I don't feel the excruciating, raw, agonizing pain that I felt when he passed away, I still feel pain, and there are days when that pain comes and it sits with me, and I respect that, and I honor that, and I try to teach that, and I honor that, and I try to teach others how to respect and honor their pain as they move forward, knowing that there will be a time where the pain won't be as intense, but to know that there may still be days where you experience pain of loss. Wow, that's beautifully said, and you know, I kind of wanted to take back that question as soon as it came out of my mouth, like I know there could be no turnaround, I'm glad you handled that graciously, but we'll find out more when we come back about Gwendolyn's hope journey, right? Where she starts to find her hope, and where she, and I love that idea of respecting your pain, and I want to get into that a little more, as well as Team Jesus, all things are possible, and what Tony is doing with this yellow car, it's bright yellow too, by the way, it's right out here, it's beautiful, and we've got so much more coming up. Stay tuned. You're listening to the Truth Network and truthnetwork.com. Welcome back to Kingdom Pursuits, where we hear how God takes your passion and uses it to build the Kingdom, and just wonderful, wonderful guest God has provided for us today, Tony Boyd with Team Jesus.

Everything is possible. Please God by glorifying Him. I love that, love that line, and Gwendolyn Burton, she is the author of You Don't Know Just How I Feel, Hope for the Grieving Heart, and I would point out that her book is there at KingdomPursuits.com, and you can order it right there from Amazon, but you know, what I'd always tell people is for new authors, man, you have no idea what kind of encouragement you've got in your hand when you buy a book on Amazon, and you go back, and you rate that book, and you tell that author not only that you enjoyed the book, but specifically, you know, I read this part, and it meant so much to me. What an encouragement you can be, because people go on this journey, right? They're scared to death to write a book. I know I would be, and then they step out and do it, and then, oh, to have somebody come back and say, God touched me when they read your book.

I mean, that means so much, so as you order books on Amazon, you know, think there's somebody out there that laid their self out and put out a lot of risk in order to come on and do that, but now I have the absolute joy of I have all these riddlers. We have Minnie and Jill in Orlando who are all calling with an answer to whose faith that Jesus marveled at, but before I give this to anybody, let me say that none of them apparently are going to the Dash game, because Minnie's in Ohio, Jill is in Richmond, and Orlando says he just wants to answer no prize. So you three, by all means, stay on, because I want to get to all three of you, but if somebody else wants to call in that only wants to come to the Dash game, you know, we got room for you at 866-348-7884, but first we're going to go to Minnie is in Ohio.

How exciting is that? Minnie, you're on the Kingdom Pursuits. Good morning.

Good morning. So whose faith did Jesus marvel at? The Centurion Soldier. Isn't that cool?

Isn't that cool? Now, Jill in Orlando, stay with me if you had the same answer, but, you know, it's one of the neatest things that he didn't marvel at any of the Jews' faith. He marveled at this Roman Centurion's faith, and what do you think, Minnie, it was that he marveled at? Well, he didn't even ask him to come home. He said, you just say the word and I know it's going to happen because I say the word and things happen for me. Oh, you're exactly right. He knew the authority that he had because he had authority, so, you know, all he had to do was say the word and not even have to come home with him. So he wasn't even wanting to bother Christ, he just wanted him to speak the word so his servant would be better.

He would be well, he wouldn't be sick anymore. Oh, that's so well said. So well said, Minnie.

I'm guessing you don't want to go to the Dash game in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. My granddaughter was just out there last week. Oh, well, she was here.

We could get her the tickets, but we have a prize vault that we are going to give you access to. So I'm going to put you back on hold and let our producer, Carmen, get your information so we can help you out there with something. Minnie, I'm so grateful for your answer.

It's just beautiful. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, so next up we have Jill, who is in Richmond.

So Jill, you are on Kingdom Pursuits. Good morning. Hello. How about you? Have you got another answer about who's?

No, she gave the same answer I was going to give. It's all right. Right. Well, I love it.

I love it. I would love to know your take on that verse. Well, I mean, it's different, the text says. I read it before. He said, yes, he's going to come to the guy's house.

And the man told him, no, but speak the word only and he shall be healed. So that's all right. I wasn't after any prize anyhow. No, no. I don't think I should be running up your bill for too long. I'm not a Christian anyhow, and I don't think I should be running up your bill and you're not getting anything out of it. Well, let me just tell you that I think it's absolutely wonderful, Jill, that you would call us. I'm really honored that you would take the time to do that. And you would listen to our station. Are you listening to WLES in Richmond? Well, sometimes I listen to one, sometimes I listen to another. So hopefully you find our show somewhat entertaining.

I appreciate you listening. It's somewhat interesting. There are four kinds of radio programs. One is the church program, and one is the sports program, and one is the program about how to invest money you haven't got.

And the other is the call-in conservative talk show. Now, I like the call-in conservative talk show, but I can't stand the sports show. They're so boring. And I don't necessarily have to believe in what you say. My idea is just don't bore me out of my skull.

Those sports programs bore the heck out of me, and those programs about how to invest money you haven't got. Right, right. I'm with you, Jill.

I am. I also find it fascinating that you have the answer, right? So you know your Bible.

It sounds like that. Well, I know what I'm talking about. I've read philosophy.

I've read Aristotle's works, some of Aristotle's works, and others. Jill, can I ask you a question? You said you're not a Christian, but what do you consider a Christian to be?

Could you define that for me, please? A Christian is somebody who believes in Christ and believes that he's a savior and believes in original sin. And I do not. You don't believe in Jesus? No, I do not believe in original sin. Original sin.

I don't understand what you're saying. No. I don't believe in any sin inborn.

I'm sorry. She's saying that she doesn't believe that mankind is bad inherently. She believes all men are good. Are you right? Am I right?

I don't know. Some men are good, some men are good. It's a choice people make.

A man has free will. That's what I think. But I didn't call up the other men. No, no, no, no. I just, I am. I'm running up your phone, Bill, and I don't think I ought to do that. It's wrong for me to keep running up your phone, Bill. Well, Jill, we are grateful for your call.

We really are, and grateful for you listening. I better get off the phone. Okay. God bless.

Thanks for calling, Jill. I wasn't after any pride. Thank you. Okay. All right. Bye-bye.

All right. We've got Orlando is in High Point. My old friend Orlando.

Orlando, you're on Kingdom Pursuits. Good morning. Good morning, Robbie. How you doing? I am awesome.

I am awesome, and we can all be praying for Jill. She sounds a bit- Yes. That's the main thing. That is the main thing. She needs to know Jesus.

Yeah. Well, the Father must be drawing her to be listening to a Christian show, and Jesus said no one comes to the Father unless he draws them. It's an interesting situation.

There's no doubt about it. She sounds like a very intelligent person, and I'm so grateful. She called, and we can be praying for her, that God will hit her where she can relate, because it doesn't sound like she can relate to what she's been told so far. So anyway, Orlando- She lives in Richmond. Yeah. Yeah, she lives in Richmond. I used to live in Richmond.

Me too. I've lived on- Yeah, I worked on whole street. Whole street on the fly, yep. Sure did. This was back in, during my centennial.

It was 1976. Did you live in Orlando too? I mean, did you live in, did you live, Orlando, did you live in Richmond too?

No, my sister does, and if I could get information, she can go and talk to her about it. That's the thing. Well, I bet you she didn't give us her address just saying.

She may still be listening. So Orlando, who do you think it was? Mark, Jesus, Mark. I know the answer.

I know the real answer. Okay, what's the real- It was Ernest Bournite. It was who? Ernest Bournite, on the movie though. Oh, Ernest- On the Bible, he was- I love that.

I love that. Yes, you're talking about the name of the actor, right? Ernest Bournite.

Yeah. Who played in McHale's Navy. He was the captain on McHale's Navy, as I recall, right?

Ernest Bournite? Yes, sir. Was he the one on the captain on Gilligan's Island also? No, no, that's a different captain.

Okay. I knew he was a captain. Ernest Bournite was also in The Poseidon Adventure and some other ones, but apparently, Jesus marveled at Ernest Bournite's faith.

On the movie. I love that, Orlando. Thank you for calling in. Thank you. We need somebody to go to the dash game, I think. So we'll get you on there. Well, when is it? It's August 23rd.

I think that's Tuesday. It's their last home game, so you could be dashing, Orlando. We need you to do that. Well, I'll take my wife then.

Okay. We're going to put you back on hold and we'll get you there. Somebody else is calling in. We would love to hear from them. And we still have more from Gwen and Tony.

Her book, You Don't Know Exactly or Just How I Feel. And again, that's at KingdomPursuits.com and Tony Boyd with Team Jesus. We'll be right back. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Well, welcome back to Kingdom Pursuits where we hear how God takes your passion and uses it to build the kingdom. And we're so blessed to have with us Gwendolyn Brandon, who wrote the book, You Don't Know Just How I Feel, Hope for the Grieving Heart, as well as Tony Boyd with Team Jesus, Everything is Possible, Pleasing God by Glorifying Him. And I think that Jill's phone call is kind of a wake-up call for, you know, Christian talk radio hosts all over the world, you know, that we are really, really, really honored often to have people call or listen to our shows that, you know, a lot of people listen to Christian radio for, you know, whatever other purpose that, like Tony was saying, God may be drawing him or maybe they just have a curiosity or whatever the situation may be. But, you know, truth is that I didn't come to Christ until I was in my 40s and I had been in the Church of Scientology.

Did you know that, Tony? And I had some really different beliefs if you wanted to delve into some of the things that I thought and didn't think. And so, you know, I think that it's a real honor, it is, that we would have people listening that are in that position of, I don't know exactly, you know, that they're humble enough to think, you know, I'm not sure I have all the answers, let me hear what these people have to say. Or, you know, whatever brings them, we're grateful for them listening. But we've got to get to, I know all our listeners are wondering, Gwendolyn, as you wrote your book, I feel most authors have a part of the book that they can hardly wait until the readers come to this part. Like, man, I can hardly wait till they read this.

This is going to be so helpful for them when they find themselves in this place of the waves billowing over their heads. What would that be, Gwendolyn? You still with me, Gwendolyn? I am with you, Bobby. I'm sorry, I keep not pushing the right button. But you're on the air now.

Okay. Yeah, there are so many parts of this book, so many chapters in this book, that I'm really excited for the readers to delve into and to find themselves in those chapters. Certainly, when people tell us to just get over it, dealing with holidays and milestones and secondary losses. And then, finally, to live again, learning to live life again, with purpose.

And before the break, you asked me about that. How was I able to move forward? And I was able to move forward and am able to continue moving forward by finding a meaning in how I live life, meaning in how and what I do to carry my son, to carry my loved one forward with me.

And so I've found a number of ways to honor my child, my son, and I say child, he was 26 years old when he transitioned. But I encourage the readers to look for purpose, not in purpose for why our loved one died, but purpose in how we can live life and move forward. Something that's meaningful to you.

Something that brings you comfort and that helps you move forward on your transition, on your grief journey. Gwendolyn, can I ask you a question? Was you ever angry with God because of this? I was angry, and I write about that in the book as well, Toni. And because I had grown up in the church, I was active in leadership in my church.

Miles, my children, I raised them to love the Lord, and they loved the Lord. And so I have a chapter in there in the book when our faith is shaken. And so being, I learned on my journey that expressing and being honest, when I was honest about what I was feeling, about the anger, about the questions, because initially I tried to camouflage that anger because I was in leadership, because I am a, you know, a Christian. And I would say, you know, God, I'm not, I don't understand, I'm not angry at you, you know, at you. I'm not angry at you, God, for allowing Miles to die, but I'm angry that. And as I delve deeper into that, into those anger statements and allow Holy Spirit to minister to my heart, then I was able to say, okay, God, I know you're suffering. I was able to stand firmly on the foundation of my faith.

Well, I got, I'm sorry, Tony, we only got about a few seconds left. So I was going to ask you, was there something you wanted to make sure you got said about Team Jesus today? Because I know you're excited about being on the radio with us. I want you to be sure to get something in that you wanted to say about Team Jesus. Well, yeah, of course, there's a lot I could talk about it all day long, but I'm just, I'm just thankful to the Lord for giving me this opportunity to glorify Him. Team Jesus Ministries is in its infant stages right now, but the Lord's really starting to bless it. We just like to help people and glorify the Lord any way we can. I want to thank Wheelcraft up in Ohio. They've just come on board and my friend, Bill Juno with Subway of Mount Airy, he sponsors us and helps us out a lot. And just all the people that have made it possible, made it come to what it is. That's wonderful. And what makes us possible is all you listeners that listen to the Truth Network. We're so grateful for each and every one of you. And now you got so much truth coming at you, encouraging prayer, followed by Masculine Journey, and then Nikita Koloff. It's time to man up. Stay tuned. So much truth coming at you. This is the Truth Network.
