Welcome to Truth Talk Live. All right, let's talk. A daily program powered by the Truth Network. This is kind of a great thing and I'll tell you why. Where pop culture, current events, and theology all come together.
Speak your mind. And now, here's today's Truth Talk Live host. What's His assignment for you in 2025?
Of course, this is a live show. And I would love your thoughts. 866-348-7884 is the number to call in. It's 866-348-7884. So what has God put on your heart that is His assignment for you in 2025? I mean, do you have one? Have you asked Him? Right?
If you have it, or maybe you've already had lots of them in 2025, and you're a little easy on about it, right? Like the prophet Jonah? Did you think, wow, I think I'm going to run the other way? And regretfully, when you did, you ended up kind of like Jonah. Like, you might remember in the movie Finding Nemo that he got nicknamed Fishbait Uhaha.
That's kind of what happened to Nemo, right? You felt like it was something you should do, and it didn't work out that way. And God took you on an interesting journey. But somewhere down there in the belly of the fish for three days, God got your attention, and oh, the miracles He worked.
I would love, I love to hear those testimonies. 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884, or maybe you are, you know, you've got this neighbor, and you've been feeling God tug on you for a long time. Like, man, you really need to be talking to that man, or maybe there's somebody at work, or somebody even in church. Or, you know, maybe, you know, if you've got a story to tell, I bet you might, of that time that you felt this tug to stop, right? For like the Good Samaritan, there was something going on. And unfortunately, like the Levite, you passed on the other side. You know, what does that feel like?
And how did that happen? We want your stories. And we would love to hear it.
866-348-7884, 866-348-7884. Maybe it's your kids, right? God's been tugging on you.
You're feeling like, my mission in 2025 is to, you know, make more of those basketball games, or make more time for them, or, you know, maybe you've been running from that conversation that you're supposed to have with your kids, right? That tough one that, you know, I've certainly been there. I've raised four of them, and I had some experiences along those lines, and there's some of those conversations that I wish I'd had. I certainly, you know, God allowed me to spend some time in the belly of the fish on that one. I would love to hear it. Or maybe this year He's pressing on you to, you know, spend a little more time in the Word, or maybe that's something you wished you'd done this year, and what's the reason?
What's the result? Again, you know, a lot more fun when you call in and share. 866-348-7884. So, you know, my oldest daughter, right, one of those that I wish I'd had lots of conversations with, is I think back on it, that, oh my goodness, we got so far in the woods, working hard, and at the time in my life that I was losing the car dealership in Mocksville. Some of you know I do the Christian Car Guy show, and I had the car dealership there, and I was losing it, and so right about the time my older daughter was in her early teens or whatever, I got too busy.
And I didn't have some of those conversations I should have had, and I was completely distracted, and all of a sudden she started making choices, and oh man, I wish I'd had that conversation. She got married young, and somebody I wasn't terribly thrilled about, and, you know, it made just things kept going, just that relationship just got worse, and interestingly, in spite of all that, just to give you the happy ending to this story, that God totally restored that relationship with me and her, and gave me this idea to give her a promise ring. You know, when they were in their early teens, and that thing for them to promise to be faithful, and that kind of thing. My promise ring was for her dad to be faithful, to always pray for her, always love you, no matter whatever happens, and that kind of thing. And so when she was in her late 20s, God put it on my heart through listening actually to Christian radio, that it would be a good idea to give her a promise ring, but one from a dad that had blown it in the teenage years. I went to dinner, you know, actually, my wife and I, she helped me pick it out, it was a beautiful thing, and asked my daughter to a special dinner, you know, and gave her that ring, and told her, you know, I was so sorry for what had transpired in those days, and no matter what, I promise I'll always love you all, no matter what in the world happens, I'll always pray for you, and that really bridged a huge gap for my daughter, and I, of course, I had to spend some time in the belly of the fish, and maybe you've been there.
I don't know what that looks like for you. I would love, believe me, love to hear the story, the phone number to call in, 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884. My good friend Mike is in Dayton, Ohio. Mike, you're on Truth Talk Live. So good to hear your voice before the end of the year. I had to get in my mic call, you know.
Life is like a vapor. It is a James 14, 414, is that right? Is my memory right with that?
If you can remember that. It's been really, you know, what is my priorities? And I've been praying to God. I said, okay, God, this year, I need to write down the priorities, and I'm going to do this as I'm talking as well. I'm talking what God's leaning on my heart about this. As well.
I haven't done that yet, but I'm wanting to do this. Writing down my priorities. My priorities is my son and my daughter, and you were just talking about your daughter. Making them be more closer to God. Letting them understand that God is important.
Right now, both of them just don't feel like God is really part of their life. Well, Mike, I hate we've got to go to a break. This is such a great conversation, because I imagine there are about every parent listening on the same exact page with you. And so it's definitely a conversation worth having. And we would love your view, too.
You can call us at 866-348-7884. Mike, you're going to hang on with us, right? Yes, man. And we'll be right back with a whole lot more of Project 2025. Welcome back to Truth Talk Live! Today's show is What's God's Assignment for You in 2025! Maybe He's given you one you're a little uneasy about? Or like Mike, you're lining up your priorities.
We would love to hear your story. about those conversations with your children, right? God's been tugging at you to, like, how do I, how do I, you know, I guess I'll let you put it in your own words, Mike. Well, how do I get them closer to God? How do I, you know, I mean, how do I get them to come to church more often? How do I let them know that God is more important than, than certain things in their life? How do I, you know, how do I, you know, and then I'm realizing that I need to let God prioritize that in my life so I can speak words of wisdom to them and be able to get them closer to God so when I die, you know, which is life is like a vapor, I feel good about my life and them knowing God is number one in their life and not number seven, you know what I mean? Well, believe me, if anybody knows what you mean, Mike, I can tell you that probably 90% of the parents out there listening, or maybe 100% of us, are, you know, if even if their kids are really, really walking with God, all of us want them to be walking closer, right? I mean, we want our kids to have a better relationship with God than we ever dreamed of. I mean, if you love your kids, obviously that's what you want and, you know, it's interesting, I'm glad we're having this discussion, Mike, I really am, because like Christmas Day, I went to church with my youngest daughter, Mariah, and I was standing there watching so many young people, all of them in Mariah's age, 24, 25, 26, you know, all of them with young families, children like my six-month-old grandbaby was there, Mike, and so you can imagine grandpa's heart was melting, and I was watching these people just worshiping God on Christmas Day, right? This was not Christmas Eve service, this was Christmas Day, 10 o'clock in the morning, 11 o'clock for two hours, they were worshiping God, and it was a beautiful thing to observe, and my heart just went to, oh man, what is it?
What happened? That these people got that, where other people don't got that, right? And from my standpoint, there's a thirst, there's a hunger for God that is really remarkable, and the more I thought about that and began to pray about it, actually, God kind of let me know that fundamentally He draws them, so prayer is like gigantic in the equation. I'm just speaking to myself, Mike, I'm not talking to you, I'm just saying, Robbie, you know, they've heard your lecture about 40,000 times, you know, they've heard the whole deal on how they should do this and that, and I used to force them to get up early, and they still make huge jokes about the time we were at Disney World, and we were getting up at five to do devotions, you know? That's a great family joke, believe me, and I know that, you know, to some extent that I've offered, but I really feel like where I've come up short is praying. And Robbie, I think you hit it on the nail, I mean, if you hit a, I mean, a spike in the road with me as well, I just want to make sure I say the right things to them, and I don't really need to worry about that, I need to pray. And you hit it with my heart to think about that more often. Right, right, I love that idea that you had of setting our priorities, God, man, help me, you know, to get those priorities straight, especially, like those discussions between me and you, God, because you're on top of the whole thing, you know what they need, I, you know, I've proven time and again to be fish bait ooh-ha-ha, right? That I was going in the wrong direction, wanting to fix it myself. Yeah, I need to be friends with them more, or I need to go over their house more often, or I need to watch their kids more often, or I need to be there for them when they need something. Here's another one that, yeah, yeah, let me tell you, you just struck me right in the heart, here's another one that grabbed me that I'll never ever forget, and this was recently, so the other was, you know, Mariah, the test is probably 35, I shouldn't say probably, she is 35 now, and about two years ago, God put it on my heart, like, he really did, this was an assignment, like, you need to just, you know, like, have a date with Tess, even though, you know, she's married, etc, etc, you need to say Tess, I want to take you to lunch, blah, blah, blah, so I called her, I said, Tess, can I have lunch with you, you know, just me and you, not your husband, not your kids, not Tammy, you know, just me and you, and she said, sure, and so as soon as we sit down in the restaurant, she looks at me and she goes, so what's wrong?
Have you got cancer again? I wanted to crawl under the table, man, I, I just, like, what, what kind of dad, you know, that when you, when you actually do what you should have been doing all along, you know, that, you know, and the good news, from my standpoint, is she'll still have lunch with me, you know, I haven't, you know, it'd be pretty easy for that relationship to go so far south that it doesn't happen. Right, and, geez, I wish I had, again, we'll go back to the prayer, you know, prayer is to make sure that we are being what we need to be to our daughters and sons, you know, yeah, so God, God is the right direction. Yeah, I know you're listening out there, and you have some, you have a story, you have a comment, you know, you've been down this road that God's pushing you to do something, maybe with his neighbor, friend, one of your children, maybe it's your brother or sister, or maybe your mother or father, 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884, I'm gonna bet you, Mike, you're like me, your dad's passed, my dad's passed, yeah, I've spent more than one day in the belly of the fish, fish bait, over God pushing me to spend more time with my dad or my mom, and I didn't. Right, and you always put it off, you know what I mean, and, but then again, did I spend time in prayer before that all happened? I really don't think I did. I really felt like maybe if I would have, I would have spent more quality time with him by listening to what my God wants me to do.
But there's no condemnation, right? I mean, at this point, well, Mike, thank you for my call, thank you for, man, I'm so glad to talk to you at the end of this year, we will be back, but I need your stories, 866-348-7884, I love you, my friend, and you know, we'll talk next year, I'm sure. We'll be right back.
It's a pleasure, thank you. Welcome back to Truth Talk Live! Today's show, you could call it Project 2025, or What's God's Assignment for You in 2025, it's kind of around the corner, it's Christmas, I mean, excuse me, it's New Year's Eve Eve, which you could say it was New Year's Adam, because, you know, Adam came before he, however that works, but what's your assignment, and then do you have one? Or maybe you got lots of different ones you think about, God's been nudging you for a while in this area, that area, what's your, what are you feeling, what are your priorities, like Mike said, 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884, maybe you have, like the prophet Jonah, run from that assignment, or not run to that assignment, however that looked, and like Jonah, you ended up like Nemo, fish bait ooh-ha-ha, you know, we've been there, and it's tough, man, so you, you know, you've been feeling this, this tug, right, to, you know, talk to that guy at work, or maybe reconcile, like, I know I am not supposed to feel the way I feel about that guy, and I am supposed to make progress in that, and maybe it's just, you need to spend time with God on that person, or, or maybe in some cases, God's been nudging you to go get some extra help from your pastor, like, you know, there's something going on that really is above my pay grade, it's overwhelming me, I'm not making it in this particular area of my marriage, or this particular area of this, has God been pushing you to do something like that, and maybe you got a story along those lines, when finally you did go, and saw the counselor, or you did, you know, see the pastor, and, and God came for you, and, and, and, and that fixed a lot of stuff, you know, these are some of the neatest stories, I love to hear them, eight six six three four eight seven eight eight four, my mother, you know, when I was about 11 years old, she attempted suicide, and, you know, I'm sure that God had been nuggin' or nudgin' her for some time, you know, to get some help, to get some help, and it's hard, it's hard to be humble, and say, you know, this is overwhelming me, it's over my head, you know, but after a really tragic attempt, she actually took all of her different kinds of medication she was on at the time, and she crawled in the backseat of a car, and she, we lived in Flint, Michigan, she worked in Detroit at the time, and so she stopped at a rest area between the two, which is about 70 miles, and so nobody would know where she was, climbed in the backseat of the car about this time of year, and, you know, the temperatures, you know, drop below zero, you know, at least close to it, and they only found her like a week later, and so she was in really, really bad shape, and we thought we're gonna lose her, but fortunately, God had other plans on all sorts of levels, and she ran into a counselor that knew what he was doing, and he helped walk her back through her life, and came across a situation where that she had never gotten over, she had a problem with grief, and she'd lost a baby, my older brother that didn't make it, you know, and he was very young, and she'd never completely grieved that, and that was piled on top of this counselor that got down to it that she had never cruelly grieved over her grandmother's passing, and in those days, they used to put people in state, you know, my mother was in the 30s and stuff, and they used to put people in state in the living room of the house, and they were there for days, and so she had never been able to bring herself, and she was probably 10 or 11 at the time her grandmother passed, and you can imagine just overwhelmed she didn't know how to grieve, and didn't know how to give that to God, and as a result, the clever counselor, the godly, I guess he had a lot of godly wisdom, he said as he started to dig into that, he said, you know, Marjorie, what was what was your grandmother wearing, you know, when she was laying there in state, and she went into great detail about the the coat that she was wearing, and he said, now Marjorie, tell me about the coat that you were wearing when you attempted suicide, and once she made that connection, she began to find her way back to being able to grieve for her grandmother, and being able to grieve for the baby that she lost, Jeremiah, and she got to the point where she realized something really important, that if I was gonna love my neighbor, I have to also love myself, right, because it says love him as yourself, but if you don't love yourself, you got a real struggle there, so there's there's there's a place where you go too far, and you don't have humility, and all that stuff, but there is a sense where you have to realize that God really loves you, and and and and there's a place for that love in you to give to other people, but you gotta obviously be here to be able to do that, and and my mother, you know, she spent some time in the belly of the fish, as I have in many different ways that, you know, you get overwhelmed, God's nudging you, so maybe maybe project 2025 or your God's assignment for you in 2025 may not necessarily be to go serve in some other manner, other than to get the help that you may need, because honestly, if you don't put the oxygen mask on your own face, and I've been there, right, many times that I didn't get the help I needed, and so maybe that's maybe that's your assignment, or maybe you've lived that one, and you've spent some time in the belly of the fish, you want to share that story, oh, and I'd love to hear it, and I just think how you might encourage somebody else that needs to hear that right now, that they've been putting it off, and they think, well, I'll feel better, I'll wake up, and I'll be better tomorrow, eight six six three four eight seven eight eight four eight six six three four eight seven eight eight four, you know, or maybe it's a simple, you know, one of my favorite stories always will be, you know, the first time I did radio, and I felt God calling me to do radio, and it seemed like such a crazy idea, because I'm, if you knew me, I'm not the life of the party, I'm a fairly shy person, so if you see me around a bunch of people, you know, I'm not gonna be out there mixing, and so the idea of public speaking was not like a high on my list of things I wanted to do, and so when God called me to do this, I was like, if you heard my voice, if you, Lord, are you sure this is, you know, and so actually my fleece was that I thought, you know, okay, well, if God's called me to do a radio show, according Pastor Quartz told me years ago, if God's called you to do something, he'll swing the door wide open, and so I thought, I'll ask Stu Epperson to lunch, and tell him I feel like God's telling me to do a radio show, and when he tells me that's crazy, then, you know, if you don't have a radio show, God didn't call me, well, so we went to a little Mexican restaurant in Mocksville, North Carolina, and I asked, you know, Stu, I said, man, I feel like God's calling me to do this Christian car guy show, and Stu looked at me, and he said, man, that's the best idea I've ever heard, how about this Saturday? He couldn't have swung the door more wide open, right, and to say that I was terrified would be an understatement of biblical proportions, I was absolutely terrified, and that's why you may realize that God's assignment probably does overwhelm you, it's probably more than you can do without him, because I always think that God rigs the world, right, so that we need him in prayer, we need him in so many different ways, and clearly when he called me to do the Christian car guy show, it was way over my comfort zone, way out of my comfort zone, I have no way of explaining how far it was out of my comfort zone, and I come in that Saturday morning, and honestly, expect Stu here to help me, and all there was, Grayson, was, I don't know if you ever met Deacon, but he was a producer many years ago, unfortunately, or fortunately, he graduated, and now is with the Lord, as the case may be, but anyway, he looked at me, and he says, you must really like to talk on the radio, and I was like, no, I don't, he said, well, you got an hour-long talk show, man, you can't have no dead air, you got to talk, and I said, well, it's a live call-in show, people will call, and I'll be able to, you know, I can talk on the phone, but man, I can't talk for, he said, you better be prepared to talk, we can't have no dead air.
I was absolutely terrified. The good news was, that day, you know, I had a bunch of questions that I asked about, you know, people might want to know about this, about the car business, you know, when's the best time to trade cars, should I take the raid, or should I take the rebate, and I had lots of questions like that that I just started out, and the lines actually lit up, as God would have it, and all these people were, you know, on the air, and I could talk on the phone, you know, because I'd been doing that my whole life, and that's how God got me through that first show. But I've always remembered that I would never have the adventure that I had over the last 19 years on a Christian car guy show, had I not stepped out on, right, God's assignment for me, and that was 2006, right, that was his assignment for me in 2006, and to say I was uncomfortable with it would be an understatement, but I didn't spend any time in the belly of the fish on that one, because, you know, I actually pushed into it, but how about you, you know, what, what, what's the push going on for you this year? 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884, you know, one of the things, I've got a few, but I really need yours, I have a story, I really spent some time in the belly of the fish, when we come back, how did that work out for you? Please call, I want to hear it, 866-348-7884, you really could really encourage somebody as they go into 2025 with a whole new hope.
Stay tuned. Welcome back to Truth Talk Live! Today's show, what's God's assignment for you in 2025, and we would love to hear your story of maybe when you did or didn't, 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884, we got Ed is in Jacksonville, Ed you're on Truth Talk Live!
Good afternoon. I am excited to hear what you got. Well, I really don't hear too much, but I think God's driven me to a point that I have to. I've had eight near-death experiences, what would be called miracles, and I'm still here, so I guess this is what I'm supposed to do.
Oh man. But when I was seven years old, we were moving from Georgia to Indiana, and my mom drove under the back of a semi-truck and was crushed in the wreckage, and my brother went through the windshield, and my dad had a head injury, and I wasn't hurt, but my mom, you know, kept telling me to roll the windows down, and I couldn't, there were no windows left in the car to roll down, and so that was when Jesus first spoke to me, not verbally, but in my head, and told me to note this important message that the world will try to take everything you own away from you, but there's two things they can never have unless you willfully give it to them, and dash your heart in your mind, and don't ever give that to them, and he said I will always be with you, always be with you, and he has always been with me, and even though I knew he was real, he was still, I call it a screen door policy, I would go to the screen door and ask him advice, and then I'd shut the wooden door and go do it my way and sit on the ground, but when I turned 34, all that changed, and I actually decided to make him my Lord and bow before him and stay off of his throne, and so in those eight near-death experiences, that didn't count the car crash that my mom was killed in, since then, since that time, I've had two attempted murders by a stepmother, she died of alcoholism, I've had cancer three times, I've had, I've had a motorcycle crash where I was knocked 65 feet down the highway, and witnessed my state trooper on the other side of the road who came over and said no way you're alive, the first words out of his mouth, and the motorcycle was totaled, but I didn't have a scratch on me. I'm a firefighter, I've been in a church fire where we were in, I was inside the church all the way up to the pulpit, and, and the Zealand opened up, it was a lightning strike fire, and the Zealand opened up, and fire just started falling down out of the ceiling, I actually dropped the fire hoses, rented, and a guy took a picture, said I was actually in the air hurtling another firefighter when the whole roof came down, so I'm very pleased about all these events that God has done for me, and, and he let me know that, I don't know why we get excited by what we call miracles, because he'd made it clear to me the fact we draw breath every day is a miracle.
Yeah, it really, really is. I'm about, about the third 65, and he is the glorious God, and there's more to the story, I can, I can tell you that I had a personal encounter with him when I was 34, that's like I said, that's when I got on my face. Well yeah, I would love to, I mean, tell me what happened when you were 34, what was that encounter like? Well, I was kind of out of control, I was working seven jobs, I'd been divorced, and I didn't even keep heat on in the house, I just piled up a bunch of blankets, and would pile under them, and you know, do like a little seizure activity to heat up body heat under there, and now I go from one job to the other, I just kept myself going, so I had 16 W-2s that year, but anyway, one of these days I'd come home and got under the blankets and fell under deep sleep, and I had a dream, you know, and there's a difference between a dream and a vision, a dream you're asleep, a vision you're awake.
Right. And I had a dream, and I had basically two skeleton-like demons, you know, it was like the setting at the movie Terminator in the beginning, where there's mounds of ashes, there's these two mounds of ashes, and these two skeletons start coming out, kind of like Jason and the Argonauts, but they were skeletons, but they had demonic faces, and then the scene, there was this beautiful, powerful white horse standing there, just looking back and forth at these two mounds of ashes as they came out, and then the scene changed, and I was on like a split level street in Savannah, you know, old antique light, lamp posts, things like that, it's probably three in the morning, and the dew is falling down, you know, from the lights and stuff, and I see these cops are pulling people over and putting them in handcuffs, and I just had this overwhelming sense of good, you know, and this other cop was struggling a little bit, and I got anxious, and then he probably got him under control, and again, overwhelming sense of good. Well, I looked further down the road that they were all on the lower level, and I saw something odd, two old women pushing a baby carriage, and I didn't know what to make of it, and I looked at the cop, and like I said, he had the guy falling cuffed in some dude, and I thought, okay, great, you know, I looked back, and I saw it was the two demons, and they were coming straight for this cop, and they had like eyes of cold, and they were just burned dead on this guy, and so I started screaming at the top of my lungs for him to get out of there.
Well, he couldn't see me or hear me, but they could, and they stopped and turned and looked up at me on the upper level. They took the baby carriage and came up the upper level and started running with it towards me, and I remember, in the middle of the street, there's nowhere to go, but I've never run from anything in my life, and I remember God spoke to me in that voice that I knew, and he said, fear not, I am with you, and I have thought, oh, that's just wonderful, and I opened my eyes, and you know, you're doing my dream, and they're coming still, and it's like, well, that's all fine and good, but they're fixing to kill me, and this hand came over me at that moment in my dream from behind my right side, and this hand right in the middle of my chest had pushed me back, and the most warrior voice I've ever heard in my life said, no, this is my battle, and at that moment, I woke up, and my friend and I turned and looked to my right side, and Jesus was standing there, and he said to me, do not lean on your own understanding, but be still, and know that I am God, and it's no longer about you, and he disappeared, and that's what it is about. You know, the beauty of that story, Ed, is you have all the details. I think, you know, as I was listening, you know, all the, you know, from the ash piles to the different struggles to the demons to the handcuffs, you have all the details still vividly, you know, how many people have a dream they can remember all those details, and yet it was 30 years ago, 31 years ago, right?
Yeah, yeah, it was. And it's precious. It's like your testimony that, like, you remember in the, have you ever read the book Pilgrim's Progress? No, I haven't.
Oh, you ought to. Anyway, there's a hero of the show called Christian, and, you know, he's trying to make it to heaven throughout the whole book, but he keeps his testimony in his bosom, and in other words, he takes, he tucks it down into his shirt. You know, apparently he had it written out in some way, but that's, it sounds to me like you've got your testimony right there where you can have it at any given moment, and fear not, right? That I'm sure there's, through all those different things, especially those near-death experiences, you know, God's given you that testimony to refer back to, to go, here we are, the battle belongs to the Lord. That's right, yeah.
I had a guy in New Mexico one time, we were at an ice cream shop, and we just got down and I had shared with him, and he told me that, he looked me dead in the face and said, you do not have the right to keep this to yourself. He's right. And yeah, so that's what I'm trying to do now. Well, I am, you didn't keep it from yourself today, you told the whole story. All those details, and there'll be a podcast this later, somebody came in on the end of that, by all means go to Truth Talk Live later tonight or tomorrow, and you'll find it on the podcast, Ed. I gotta tell you that, and yeah, it'll be there for anybody you want to share it with, because it's powerful, and you know, a lot of us need that, a lot, to know that the battle is his, to lean not on our understanding, and I love that warrior voice, and that's a neat part of the story. It's unbelievable, you know, and what I didn't tell you is when God had told me when the demons were just about on me, and he said, fear not, I'm with you, it was like a guillotine of warmth fell from my head down to my belly and stopped in my belly button, and it was the most over overwhelming sense of warmth and comfort I'd ever felt in my life, but then I opened my eyes and they were there, kind of like Peter walking on the water. You know, the interesting thing about that one, Ed, is I've had that exact same experience, and I've had several near-death experiences myself, in fact, Channel 12 did a whole thing of me, and I call it a God hug. See, I got crushed between two cars, and I remember calling out for God at the time, and that exact feeling that you just described of that, like, bucket of warmth coming over you, and acceptance and love, and it's like, fear not, it's like, don't worry, I got this, in spite of that, and they couldn't, they couldn't get to me, because I was up in the mountains, the weather was bad, they couldn't get a helicopter up there, and it took over an hour before they could get an ambulance to where I was, and they were so afraid I was gonna go into shock and all this stuff, but, you know, when they came and hit me with the morphine, I couldn't even tell the difference, because I had a God hug, right? Just like what you're describing, it's there, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your call, I hate we're out of time, but, man, I love you, brother, you keep up the good work down there, all right, and thank you all for listening today, and I won't talk to you again till next year, but I'm gonna look forward to, thank you for listening to Truth Talk Live.
