The Joy Ride #175

This is the Truth Network.

And Truth Network programming like The Masculine Journey and Masculine Journey After Hours. In this podcast, you can expect to laugh and smile with godly men who want nothing more than to honor and glorify God. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the joyride. Well Popeye, even though I understand only about half of what you say, I do understand that you are a sailor, and that's all that you are, and that's okay. What about me?

What am I? Well, I'm a man that burned down an auditorium, and now trying to stay in show business by becoming a wild west showman slash trick writer. Only I don't know how to ride a horse, I may have made a mistake. Oh how do buckaroos, I didn't see you there. It is I, Cacti Keith.

Welcome to the training grounds at the Truth Network Ranch. Look, I'ma level with you folks, Cacti Keith's equestrian adventure isn't off to a great start. There are many reasons why, chiefly among them is my inability to ride a horse. Like did you know saddles don't come with seatbelts? I mean what's that about?

How else am I supposed to stay on? Anyway, I was feeling down but this week's Masculine Journey has turned that around. This week the guys are talking about Jesus and his I am statements. Statements like John 6 35, Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not hunger and he who believes in me will never thirst. Very powerful statements that connect the dots to Jesus, God and establishes the deity of Christ. Jesus is God in flesh.

Just reading those scriptures have emboldened me. I will learn how to ride a horse. Come here tea biscuit. Let's ride. Eat your heart out Buffalo Bill. So listen, enjoy this week's clip. Tea biscuit you listen.

Go get help because I am in a lot of pain and I am in need of some medical assistance. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise him all creatures here below. Praise him above ye heavenly hosts.

Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. So Rodney that was your pump. Did you sing that?

Was that you? Yes of course. Well all four parts right? Yes. Yeah. I do it, you know, I can throw my voice. You can? Yeah.

Could you throw it further? You want me to throw it away if I start to sing. Okay. But yeah I was out looking for clips and I was, I couldn't figure out anything to really do for all these I am statements that we're looking at because it's really, you know, talks about the deity of Christ and I'm just going through that and trying to figure out well what would be a really good praise song and I found the doxology out there and I'm like I wonder if I could find that in men and they're like hey that's under 30 seconds. I actually looked in the folder and you didn't have a bump yet. I didn't. And I'm like oh I don't usually ever beat Sam to a bump so I was like well I'll just throw this one in there so. Because all I really wanted to do was praise and glorify God as I was looking through all the I am statements anyway and I'm like oh that would just, I started listening and I was like oh I just feel so good.

So now you make me feel bad I would have probably picked something secular and you know whatever. But no. I actually was very grateful because last night I went in to find a bump and I'm like ah Rodney has a bump. Thank you. Good.

Glad it helps. No it was good. And obviously very familiar with that song.

It was sung in my church growing up a lot as a kid. So. Yep. Yep. Well thank you.

Andy you're actually up next. You have the next clip. Which I am statement are you focusing on?

Before we go there. Well no I ask you a question. My deal man. I have the mic. Well I have one too. I was like are you going to override me man?

No you're good too. I'll take your mic from you. Yeah. You have control issues dude.

I could ask Keith to push yours off but still. Like I said. So I figure we would start before the I am and you put a word after it you can't go away from what Jesus said whenever he was talking to the Pharisees and they were talking about Abraham being their father and Jesus said before Abraham he said truly truly I say to you before Abraham was I am which we know God the father said that to Moses and stuff. So really he is everything to us. But it is cool when we get those defined words like you get in the book of John I was telling the guys I usually I've been in the Old Testament but went on a trip needed to take my smaller Bible with me this weekend or on that trip and I felt like I was going to read Acts and then God said no it's John and then Sam sends out an email and it's all these I am statements from the book of John.

I thought now how cool is that because I had already started on it and was through all this and that's why I remembered to bring that up. But anyway. Well a little bit of clarity though. So you didn't want to take all of God with you on the trip just a part? Just a part. Just a New Testament part of God? I used to have a her. It's either the sword or the dagger. So from the guys on Masculine Journey I'm Keith and we'll see you down the road. This is the Truth Network.
