We'll talk about the spiritual warfare surrounding the capital hearings and then an amazing interview with Dr. you Ross stories of faith to edify you stock for the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks for joining us friends on the line of fire Michael Brown delighted to be with you today them to call 866-34-TRUTH 87884. That's 866-34-TRUTH, I wrote an article this morning and I was reflecting on the capital hearings I was reflecting on the larger spiritual warfare going on in America right now if you say what you mean by spiritual warfare. I mean, the battle taking place in the spiritual world.
The battle that Paul articulates in Ephesians 6 talking about demonic powers that have been here actively working since the fall of man talking about their organized strategy, talking about our authority over them.
In Jesus, this is something ongoing that every age of regeneration has to deal with and sometimes things range more intensely. Sometimes the battles are more intense and in a little while of Esther friend to call in a real woman of prayer who was in DC during the Cavanaugh hearings who had some really striking observations about the spiritual warfare going on in the real battle that's taking place. This is not Democrat versus Republican. This is not conservative versus liberal. This is Satan versus the things of God. All right. And, and that cuts across each party and that cuts across conservatives, liberal and liberal that cuts across all aspects of the media. All right, so I'm saying the sides are light versus darkness. We need to be on the side of light were ever that takes us, but in the midst of this I don't want to focus of focus on the devil to focus on the enemy. I don't want to focus on negativity want to focus on what God is doing in the midst of these things because he's not silent and he's not absent is not off sleeping somewhere.
He's active and he's at work. What might he be doing in the midst of these hearings, what larger things. May he be up to, so we'll talk about that and then at the bottom of the hour will be joined by astronomer you Ross now. He's been on with us many times to talk about science and the Bible, but he's got a new book out called always be ready a call to adventurous faith to have a discussion today about this book about adventurous faith, and when I was sent the book and Dr. Ross wrote this "great, let's do it because he's he is a thinker. He's clearheaded is logical. You would think he read a book like this, but obviously this is who he is as well so will will talk about that and if you have a call a question for me anything relevant to the line of fire.
Phone lines are open as well. 866-34-TRUTH 87884 so here's what I believe and understand about God's sovereignty. We speak about his sovereignty. We speak about him as the king him as the ruler and creator of all. Acting on his own will, acting at his own desire acting at his discretion, intervening wherever and however he sees fit.
All right, some people when they think of God's sovereignty to them. That means that he orchestrates everything that happens in the world. Others you think of his sovereignty. Think of him always been like a million steps ahead in their different ways of approaching because the Bible doesn't use this precise term. It's a matter of how we ourselves define it or discuss it when we mean by God sovereign can tell you this, God is at work in the midst of human affairs. They are not simply happening in a random way, meaning even if people are sitting, even if people are rebelling, even if people are rejecting the will of God, even if people are seeking to do their own thing and want nothing to do with the greater Gustavus accomplishing his will in the midst of it, though I don't believe that everything that happens is ordained by God are many things God grieves over many things. God expresses I don't like this. I don't like the way it is with you. Give us freedom to make certain choices.
But in the midst of it, he's carrying this plan in the midst of this, he is orchestrating his will. So let me just give you a few thoughts in terms of some of the things happening today. This is from my latest article on the sovereignty of God in the brick Cavanaugh hearings so what is that the hearings have unleashed a torrent of demonic hatred it if you didn't know the resistance to Roe V Wade if you didn't know the resistance to certain conservative principles. You know it now.
I mean, in an outrageous, overwhelming way.
Secondly, the hearings that reveal just how far the Democrats will go to defame and destroy political opponent was what's happening through these hearings. Is there something more is going on that the Republicans have their shortcomings and are guilty of various things but I don't know them to have this history on this level of doing whatever it takes to defame and destroy someone and a Jonathan Hendrick or on the power of.net of our finances. They correctly on powerline blog.
Someone sent me this link wasn't familiar with the site think the judge Cavanaugh's pristine reputation this before the hearings is one reason why the Democrats scroll down here. One reason why the Democrats have unleashed against him, a smear campaign unparalleled in American history. This is the message that they're trying to send. If we can do this to the Boy Scout brick Cavanaugh. Does anyone you thinking of serving a Republican administration. When accepting appointment to the federal judiciary from Republican president think twice and then think again.
Then third, the hearings have not only further heighten your awareness of the me to movement, but they've also help birth the falsely accused movement and with that, as this is something I am addressing of him want to go right to the phones. Based on the description on my screen.
This is something you want to hear about Robert in Florida. Welcome to the line of fire doing well but need to speak right into the the phone. This I can hear you clearly what subs are gotta know by, I turned on Facebook got a notification that you are speaking and honestly just a day to give little information as possible. Yet you try to divert someone very close to me was falsely accused in a Christian school rate 30 days I'm after it happened. This is only a couple days ago the alleged event.
I 30 days ago we just got yelled at and and the person who is accused very close to me call the police. 30 days later and they came to an investigation talk to talk to this person close to me the police to be utterly nonsense and yet the school still deemed fit to kick him out and there's an unbelievable social media present bang. The most terrible thing about this person and it is it's just a crazy situation with it coincided directly with the Cavanaugh trial body. Yeah, I'm sorry to hear the still look I've written about this and will emphasize again, we need to hear from from victims of sexual assault, sexual abuse, we need to hear from them. They their voices need to be respected, they can't be immediately looked at is when you're just lying there while you doing this and you think of a woman that's been raped and then has to sit in the courtroom and and in front of strangers and recount what happened and look at the rapist's terribly difficult and and I can imagine how difficult so these are things that we need to be much more sensitive to our society and in that sense, the me to movement has been very important but it's it's also been largely hijacked or hijacked, in part, by radical feminists and others. It's been hijacked by an anti-patriarchal movement anti-male movement and then it's brought to our attention the falsely accused that we don't know with the Cavanaugh hearings to some of the truth and who's not. God knows those details, but we know that that there are plenty of men who been accused falsely accused of sexual assault and things like that and and now they are, damned just because they been accused that that's what things have come to so yeah, I'm sorry to hear this is happened especially with police saying this is nothing whatsoever what what's happened to this individual is close to what what's going on in his life right now. How's he doing well. Not terrific. I probably should. What will make it right. What actually a male made against the audit and and how it was good in a in a in a Christian school. So yeah you any idea of biblical justice is thrown out yet and Robert you know with which we can understand is that there's a tremendous desire in Christian school in particular.
Have a safe environment there. There's a tremendous desire to immediately the moment there's an accusation jump on it to protect and cover everyone involved. If you can be safe in a Christian school where you be safe.
However, there is also due process so Robert tell this person close to you to hang in there and if they really lean on the Lord in their life is right with God. Gotta fight for them and in gobble ultimately exonerate them in what seems hopeless. Right now he can turn around and and bring blessing out of that and we just pray for God's best for everyone involved. A thank you for the call. Yeah, I thought it was important friends that I jump in and take that call for these very reasons to say yes is not just me to movement.
It's also the falsely accused movement and then number four terms of larger pictures that I see here in the Cavanaugh hearings.
The hearings may just provide enough pushback to the expected midterm losses to the president. The president of the blue wave will not materialize the president from can continue carrying forward the agenda things that are important for us that are for the good of the nation against the Democrats versus Republicans but on key issues of abortion in life and liberty and things like that. It's Democrats versus Republicans said to say the fifth that the hearings have helped awaken Christian conservatives around the country people rise again with the brick Cavanaugh's guilty of any charges or not think he is.
But what is guilty of any charges or not. The attack against him is one that Christian conservatives can expect in general and in six. The hearings will better ensure that we have God's best choice for the Supreme Court, I'd like to see justice Cavanaugh confirmed. But what if God has a larger plan than that, but he wasn't God's first choice, but if Amy Barrett was God's first choice so by justice, not being confronted paves the way for her being confirmed. See. But what about individuals will whoever's been hurt was belied about her was made mistakes with the really lean on the Lord, the Redeemer he can turn around that which is meant for evil for good. I will be right back and it's the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown, the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown parts of friends I want to say again, looking at this party lines them versus Republican on that looking at this is never trump always trump I'm looking at this in terms of Gospels purposes for America.
I'm looking at this in terms of the battle between light and darkness settle put my trust in a person of interest, my trust in the party put my trust in the Lord, hence the title of my book.
Donald Trump is not my Savior.
He didn't die for my sins.
He doesn't get my life. We got my vote gets my support. Politics is not the gospel get politics and the gospel often intersect so I want to bring on a friend, a woman of prayer want to mention her name. Not that you would know her name nationally, but just because she's kind of in the crosshairs of some of the prayer battle in DC these days. I just want to be able to talk freely about what's going on hate welcome to light a fire here. Are you doing doing doing just great right tell me first just about your your normal habit of prayer do you pray a lot for the government. Things relating to the government is that when the burdens God is giving you particular prickling praying for me and I have to prayer group I'm involved in pretty much check in me okay if our government, our nation, our court thing and what kind of prayers to praise you, pray partisan political prayer, set heavy with the scent, definitely not. I'm an independent way. I know where where praying the Bible you know your kingdom come, your will be kind that where praying for righteous jacket where praying for you know righteousness and holiness. Jeff security in our nation.
I know the whole thing by different people are called by my name will humble out praying a I will hear from happening in all of not just we want got and we want this nation to be a nation where God is glorified at our poor farm Derek bandy noting that she and not what we praying to create so when you were in DC recently for Judge Cavanaugh hearings. What was different about the praying this time, the atmosphere, this time paint a picture for folks okay try to get current on you not have been up there quite a back turn.
It definitely epic about owning a different place, a different date in her you can feel a different Art McNair, the amount of share evil and witchcraft air was more than I had ever encountered in my entire life country at everything on the protesters who are all I'm sure wonderful people I know God has a plan and a purpose for each and every one of them that they are still manipulated by witchcraft. I felt that my friend protesters accused her of assaulting and I mean it is so tangible you can file now that everything in and you know but God and the work that that one can fit thousand flight you can pick 10,000 flight so you know what I think you can can you imagine 100 of us can do that tangible and we need to take the territory we need.
I think people need to be praying from their home.
Call a prayer group with a handful of friends I think after call up a prayer meeting medical churches. I think some people just need Get on a basket in a car get on a plane and go there and walk around. I got established and it is in at the battle. I honestly felt like all out war that have never encountered anything like that. And when you say you are you sure the protesters are wonderful people obviously may have some rerun apples. There were your thing is, you have no personal animosity towards them and and they are believing lies in an acting on lies went when you went when you refer to witchcraft, battling witchcraft.
Some are familiar with the term like that some immediately think that that there must be women there and in black gowns and in writing on broomsticks and try to curse people what what you mean by that.
What kind of spiritual battles. He describes witchcraft and you can feel although they are not.
I don't know their dress just like you and go around literally differently, but you know maybe I would walk around praying time in her crate. Or maybe in a prayer bomb or something when they're up there and there you know their chanting curse is infected really doing their interaction their chanting in and trying to curse and call in sick and having been doing it quietly, even if you don't see any of yourself or your own eye, you can file what you know where we all have different calling so you know if your you think you can feel it might, for example, in the hearing room I was in there praying and basically I II couldn't I couldn't prayer mine ranging curse his face and all I could think of it. If this is how I'm feeling.
I cannot imagine what Sen. arguing that and what the other people in this room, arguing that thinking I have a group of people and I'm texting and I might start me off in a prayer, then the Scripture to start off like I cannot even think in light.
I consider myself a powerful woman of God, but that was the type of atmosphere that was in there and I needed help I needed someone to help each take authority in their place and over that demonic because there is no king but Jesus and he is Lord that's what you get dominion that you need to answer the call and do that. Yeah, absolutely. We talk about the swamp in Washington is more responsibly might realize that that's why I don't put my trust in the political party your office so it before you knew the Lord of unknown you only as a believer but before you knew the Lord you were in the world like like so many others. Can you relate to some of the spirit of feminism, or that this some some of the attitude that's behind some of the protest.
We know there's an an outright protest about Roe V Wade, and he thought of Roe V Wade being overturned sent shockwaves through much of this community and the people fighting and protesting, but is there anything in you from before you knew the Lord where you can relate to where, especially some of these ladies are coming from relate but I certainly have a lot compassion. I understand Ehrlich planning truly are careful that in a situation where there can have to go in a back alley and have an abortion but the welfare and not think that as believers we should be judgmental or whatever, where we have to have a lot compassion and understanding of the different ranks that you know it shot a different rank that they're being tormented and are being added on, and their whole organ people that are very organized their planning group that doing T-shirt there telling them exactly what they want you and they are praying on the ocean even went the accusation against Cavanaugh and and I'm sorry. A fault accusation. All of it, this nation that specifically in Washington DC but a lot of planning anything work here folks.
They work writing. They have been so traumatized in their light. The airport hang onto Brett Cavanaugh rate whatever they're projecting onto the man want him to pay for what was done to him and you can shovel and you can go and say no to somebody looking out at night and look at the truth and they're not 90 think they can because they have been on. I and you are in motion and that very traumatic place that only Jesus can heal and no matter where it can do anything no matter anything they need you. Yeah that that is such an important perspective to hold onto because otherwise you throw arguments. How can you not see this in but there is the blinding of ocean. There is the blind spiritual deception.
And when you don't know the Lord. It's it's almost impossible to really get to the root of the deception and end the culture around Jesus going to egg you on all the more right so let's let's do this. We got a couple minutes left.
Give some guidance to folks that are listening, watching, and think they want to pray they want to make a difference, but they don't really know how to pray. You talk about praying for holiness and righteousness, praying for various things like this. So how just just talk to her folks minute and 1/2 or so and explain how to pray, give us some guidelines. What kind of things. Should we be praying for the nation. Right now, to be losing their will. Not sure talk. Melissa was a demonic was that how you could just check to see if our guest is still there was that that was weird wasn't it that was pretty all asking just for some guidance in prayer and then all cannot make a big thing out of it does look a little different was that interview fine up until that moment and then all we hear is weird noises gone got cut off. Well, what a great message. What we need to hear is this is ultimately a spiritual battle for people's souls for people's lives for nation and again it's not Republicans good guys Democrats because vice versa or presence of the Savior. None of that. None of that. No, rather, this is ultimately a spiritual battle and we need to plant ourselves firmly on God's side where ever that takes us so our prayer or prayers God. Your kingdom come to Washington DC and to America board. Your will be done.
Lord bring about your best expose lot ice bring about justice bring about liberty bring about freedom bring about healing bring about restoration bring about revival, we can all regardless of where we stand for followers of Jesus, we can all unite on those points. Can we not an inspirational God have mercy mercy on him right back with Dr. Ross file line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown minor fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown as friends on the line 5 and over the years. When we have science issues that come up things like that.
One of her favorite guest ring on his Dr. you Ross and astronomer scientist believer in the word of God and the authority and absolute inspiration of the word of God.
So II know Dr. Ross is one.
When I ask a question on to get a precise logical answer systematic you know to the trillionth of the billions to the 10th time of the millionth all broken down like that. The way you can understand, so I was I was really surprised to get a copy of his newest book with his wife Kathy a call to adventure space. It's called always be ready.
The book is a call to adventurous faith, get ready to experience an adventurous faith. I thought this and that fascinating so as soon as I heard about us and by all means let's let's bring Dr. Ross also draws welcome back to the line of fire trigger right so obviously we know you a certain way. We know you scientist and scholar, astronomer, defender of the faith but we don't know you necessarily as a man walking adventurous faith with all kinds of exciting stories and and and a challenge to always be ready so obviously that's it.
That's a part of you that's foundational you that most of us don't know about so so tell us about Dr. Ross and Kathy Roth that the authors of this book. Who are you behind the scenes requirement prior to her earlier work.
My character drawing a victory. Be ready. But getting pretty universe I could get it to your search for the beginner and baby. Gideon Bible realize that the Christian! Universe with correct but going through the Bible that thoroughly I realized I give my life to Jesus Christ. I'm committing myself to go public with my commitment, faith in Jesus Christ and a pretty good idea what their commitment would involve primitive pushback from her gift from my fellow students and professors to realize that is the Christian life. So what I find my name in the fact that the Bible you are committing myself to share my faith and I focused mainly on people and barnyard astronomy. When arrived at Caltech on people to read one of my colleagues faith in Christ took a year when it came to Christ and it was another crisp astronomer Caltech to have you ever thought about sharing your faith with nonscientific all day for your findings. Nonscientific walk off at Caltech Infantry will be one or two like a committed word, just talk to strangers on the street and ever. There were far more receptive scientific evidence for the Christian faith in my colleagues at Caltech and that led me to getting involved in the church in between Caltech and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and several months later the puppy on the pastoral leader evangelism effort and I've been doing that ever since the Mac church basically training people, laypeople how to use the book of nature to bring people to the book of Scripture bring them to faith in Jesus Christ. Now did you have to overcome fear concern. Just walking out to talk to total strangers to become totally naturally for you. It was the summons overcome and work from there overcome. I remember portraying the book I'm on the autistic spectrum for engaging people work something out very uncomfortable for me. It was a command to record what God commanded everybody the follower could be involved in unit three about sharing your faith in bringing people to Christ) doesn't feel comfortable.
I know I do not get to predict, but I'm going to do it anyway and what I discovered in Holy Spirit and pared back the people have their commitment to tell a story in the book of my first witnessing encounter was with my physics lab partner and you you I can tell by looking at your you want to talk please let me talk ever going to struggle for my wife.
I need to talk to me about God doing boiler campus who knows anything about God, leader for our conversation of the conversation showed me that you commit yourself to share the reason for your hope in Jesus Christ, and deliver those reason, gentleness and respect God will open opportunity for you to discover what I was worried about what I was panicked about okay not to worry about all I'm not alone the Holy Spirit with me and the Holy Spirit are one that provides the opportunity as you mentioned reasons the website to visit reasons.org reasons to believe that's reasons.wards, and if you are a skeptic great place to go if your new believer in Jesus great place to go if you're scientist great place to go if you're a teacher of the Bible.
Great place to go. You'll find resources for young people as well. Reasons.org so Dr. Ross how does Kathy tie in with you in terms of writing this book together under one or maybe she met me without regard Caltech and she quickly recognized that I had no really good reason for the Christian grade but had some issues with delivery.
You know, people will pay attention to your picture look at the bunk allowed to register at the ground name you're on, what you do. So she trained me basically how to engage people, and I found I was being much more effective in assuring my faith and she was unlike me, she was raised in a Christian home, you realize you need to get out of the cocoon and so we began to partner and you refer to words or translator should take corporate client to produce and makes it accessible to people who are not planted, and she helped me take the reason that I developed and make them more broadly accessible what you referred to this says the insured adventurous obviously to challenges and difficulties. We share the gospel but but why is this such an adventure that roll call to well what are your first Peter 313, always be ready to go to rig up a book title from always be ready to share your reason for your hope in Christ, with gentleness respecting a clear conscience and spend my experience, but I think I can back it up with a thorough study of the book of back that anyone at drug that will feed God supernaturally bringing people to you who are prepared to hear and respond to good reason in the first time you see these miraculous encounters. You might think it a coincidence you see it happening more than 100 times, you realize that the handiwork of God and basically relates stories in the book. My own witnessing experience and experience of other basically telling people the book of back� God is still performing miracles to take the good news of salvation to all people groups of the world and my whole point. I think we've Christian we need to experience being God performed miracles on a regular basis in your life is a great way to strengthen your own fate as a great way to build the Christian demeanor and character that God wants to see happen at all about what you're telling us then it is that science and faith in selecting faith academics and faith as long as things are based on truth.
They go hand in hand you can be a man of science Amanda faith you can be a woman of the spirit and and a woman of academics as well as what we believe is true or hoping to strew they go hand-in-hand while great pyramid attracted me about the Bible.
The query created guarded given it to book the book of nature in the book of Scripture and the boat book are utterly trustworthy and reliable. Earlier, my client brought me to faith in Christ.
What it recognizes a lot of people don't realize, but find the ally of the Christian faith. It think of the enemy and gives me all kinds of opportunities share with people look the later Beth client to the more reason to believe but your reason for going back to give more reason to believe on it daily basis so sharing that with people. I find it. People just like in the book of acts they like to talk about the later offer.
I engage people, but very are you aware that the discovered 48 hours ago and the other interested and I show them how that provide more evidence that the Christian faith and open up a conversation and by the way. For those of us without science is reasons.org all the updated information gets published a daily basis so you get plenty of updated info there could you give an example. Not just from decades ago, but in recent years of of a divine appointment of a supernatural encounter when you were sharing the gospel all remember being in an airport and your Mark White calculator calculator got delayed irony: number and I knew I had a really cheap trick worried about and basically repeat told me of a counter looked through the family. They need to fit together.
We know you're traveling alone and remove you through different feet. Sure, you can put me on any future walk so he handed me a new ticket and a looked at it.
It was to be while I'm in first class. I don't fly first class by Dr. Pfc. that day and sat down the gentleman back down into Ray and immediately introduced the topic that I'm from Germany I'm a quantum I'm a native skeptic. All I'm not from Germany-Canada. I'm not a quantum limit after another skeptic given a few thunder Christian is going to be a really interesting flight transcript in question. He asked me a question in our ability to answer your question, I noticed the people behind me were also listening in an effort to introduce a question. Could you tell me why do you have put well-prepared and peered through my a question about the universe I could lawyer a question for all chapter titles in the book I wrote. I don't believe you. I have a copy of that book about breaking the only book I had my briefcase pulled it out. He looked at the table content is your right. There are my question. And as we walked the baggage claim. Okay probability that the conversation would've happened today is more remote than one chance that 2 billion.
I don't think what happened today was an act I don't think so either because of your life, fly an airplane half the conversations I have are with finances PhD and theologian from a doctorate in theology and you and I both know that big support for 1% of US population, but that 50% of my conversation makes you think God's engineering encounters. I would say so I you lost. Reminds me of the stories I heard the safe will come back and start the new book, always be ready. What a story. What a story.
It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 6642 here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks friends for joining us on today's broadcast. My guess that Ross's new book with his wife, Kathy, always be ready call to adventures faith the website is reasons.org is the reasons to believe website to find a wealth of wonderfully edifying scientific and biblical and theological information. There reasons.org and speaking with Dr. Ross about divine appointments, you know, II fly constantly as well.
So whenever my seat gets changed or someone is a shift in another shift. Another shift that always gets my attention. Or maybe something is going on here, but it reminds me of of Dave constantly data hunt saying that that one of his great proofs for the existence of God was whatever book he was working on and he wrote on all kinds of different subjects that basically every flight during the season of work on the book and end up sitting next to a specialist in that area. So I'm but your story with the table of contents like I'm not a statistician but wanting to billion seems actually low. I think it's a lot higher than that why you're number one got nothing to do. I would like a brand-new Christian and I were going door-to-door and not 19 guard nobody answer the door.
One piece of property was already dark and went through the gate. The big German Shepherd dog bear and her got to be a 5 acre estate. That dog showed the way to the front door. We get to the front door adamant about you get here. Your dog showed us the way. If you didn't see the sign on the gate.
We didn't see any sign warns everybody about our trained attack dog. This dog is trained to bark loudly.
Anybody comes near the gate and anyone open to gate the dog trained to attack and disable the person in any looked at it and said you two are Christians are you yeah why do you ask because because my wife and I and her three children have been praying for the past hour God when things Christian showing how we could become Christian and what happened to my dog prove that God sent you please permit all five prayed to receive Christ.
That day when he showed me how well-trained a dog run. Somebody blinded you to define and somebody took over the dog went out to the gate that fine. Today it was even lit up and the young man he was with me with the new Christian depicted jet book of act got blinded, arrived fine and God took control of that dog to answer the prayers of the demanded like three children possible and friends list you usually see Islam as a scientist besides just to do that.
You just need to be willing to do it doctoral student. You have a lot of stories like this in your book.
I have a lot of stories like that are not just for me personally for many other people including skeptic who is skeptical that God works in this way, your pastor, my goal is to lift the percentage of people who regularly attend the church who shared her faith with adult & group of 50% in a wrote the book making a point way too much fun you need to get involved, and by the way for the next month. If you go to reason.org/blog, you'll get a free chapter from the book.
The chapter talks about all the airplane story all our friends reasons.org/Ross get your chapter today will posted on social media for folks as well. What one last question.
If an and by the way, from the heart.
Hearing the stories is an encouragement to me to step out even more because I love to share the gospel.
But this is an encouragement for me that that there's a lot more adventure out there a lot more people to reach your food if we just be obedient.
Take that step of what would you say is the number one reason that more people are are some of the people reluctant to share their faith hi Victor: getting 1/2 dollar box for Eric or not having answered your question before asking, and you are writing a book. Prepared good reason people ask me why did you wait so long to write the book I spent 30 years writing books were actually show the good reason an appointment making the book.
Half question. Find out what kind of person you're talking to find it what their issues are and I always leave people with a resource what I end the conversation by leaving with a restart that target very issued a rate so I don't have generics.
Dr. might appreciate. I have things that are designed to reach different people with different issued people really appreciate Becca didn't know you back. She thought about them that the person you care about their and I don't know. Look after you read this or watch.
Feel free to contact me and if I don't have answers. I know people do advanced. I don't have to know everything yeah that's important for us to remember. Just know where to point people G1 Wallace, one of the top apologists today enthusiastically endorses the book is the Dr. Richard land will most of the Baptist leader, president of Southern Evangelical seminary. The forward to the book is written to my dear friend and colleague Dr. Craig Keener so you've got a lot of enthusiasm terms of folks reading the book excited about it and I do interviews on a pretty regular basis with authors of books and and I really enjoy the interviews always learn from them and hopefully we get folks to know about the books.
This is one of the something like I am to take this on the plane with me to read my flight to London. It it gets my attention and just hearing some of the stories it's faith building.

You're welcome. Figure God bless you. All right friends. Dr. you Ross again again. The book always be ready are called adventures. Faith was at those two stories are those cooler watch.
I just got the book and so wasn't able to go through it before the interview, but with those cool stories that edify you and encourage you or what so thank you Dr. Ross. All right or change topics here. I saw this clip last night and thought I have to play this at the place for we talked a lot about praying for the nation, praying for the president, praying for Congress praying for Supreme Court. We talked about looking for God's purposes in the midst of things. This is nothing profound, but I I just got a kick out of it and and I will make a comment afterwards. So, this is Pres. Trump. He's being asked questions by the CNN reporter who met the NC pushes ways, had it for whatever reason, but I want you to hear his comments about drinking not about justice Cavanaugh so much, but about Donald Trump and then out, then I'll tell you why am playing this clip for you. Alright so let's let's give it a listen. Said he didn't lie about his drinking. Does that mean you'll pull look. This is what I'm just saying I'm not a drinker. I can honestly say I never had a beer in my life. Okay, one of my only good traits I don't whatever they're looking for some that I never had a glass of alcohol. I never had alcohol just here for whatever reason. Can you imagine if I had what a mess I'd be what I be the one be the world's worst, but I never drank I never drank okay but I can tell you I watch that hearing and I watched a man saying that he didn't have difficulty as a young man with drank.
The one question I didn't ask is, how about the last 20 years have you difficulty list 20 is because nobody said anything bad about him in many many years. They go back to high school and I graduated from high school and and I while I did not drink, I saw a lot of people drinking they drink beer in the go crazy and they were nice though I was 16 and 17 years old and I saw a lot of does that mean that they can't do something that they want to do with their life self. It's a very tough think. I really believe that he was very strong of the fact that he drank a lot and so I don't know whether it be a big discrepancy yes go ahead, you know what you really had nice radar.
You had enough go-ahead place. Okay so what I play that on the one hand it's it's very true, but it was that idiotic things in her high school days. If that's not who we have been ever since that you disqualify us if we broke the law paid for crimes we did stupid things but that's not who we are and haven't been for decades. Of course not. That should disqualify you use the partier drink or sleep around.
Get in fights when you're in high school and then Yemen touched any of those things are done in those things the last 20 or 34 years been quite the opposite of that odyssey that shouldn't be held against you again the justice, issues, the question would be okay. Is he lying about things today and denying things today they did back then.
I don't think that's the case bullet let the truth come to light. But here's why play the clip. I believe the Donald Trump in the midst of that the self-effacing Donald Trump.
The one saying can you imagine if I drank I be the worst of the worst is that when you drink you get rid of a lot of inhibitions and sale of things would normally say hook hello could you imagine that as as unrestrained as the president could be when he was the lead things out via Twitter or other ways.
That's part of who he is and his love, a sated fort understand that I often cringe over some things. But but drunk. Who knows what would be said or maybe the opposite may be several really mean those things I just say that but either way when he self-effacing when he says one is only good traits was that he never drank. I think that's the kind of person that a lot of people on the fence to get behind. I think that's the kind of person that's more likable that recognizes idiotic I can be a jerk sometimes yeah I can. My ego another thing I got some issues it's true yeah I believe that's the kind of person that would be less device. The haters are going to hate anyway. The people that oppose your pose wasn't like to get behind them. I think it be like that more people would then force back to the cutting off the reporter in the whole bit. But you get my point right back with you tomorrow
