Go into all the world!
Yeshua commanded His disciples to go into all the world and preach the Gospel, “The Good News,” to every creature. Clearly, the disciples never deduced their Messiah intended for such “creatures” to equal Lobsters, aka Gentiles. From the state of Maine, the Bearded Bible Brothers join an all-star posse of Jews and Gentiles to focus on the Great Commission.

- 00:49 Caleb: Josh, where are you at?
- 00:50 No one's in the office.
- 00:52 Joshua: [chh] Brother, I literally told you that Mike and
- 00:54 I were driving to Maine, over. [chh]
- 00:57 Caleb: I totally would remember if you said something like that.
- 01:00 Joshua: [chh] First of all, brother, you're on a
- 01:02 walkie-talkie, so you have to make the [chh] noise.
- 01:04 Second of all, I totally told you.
- 01:05 Check the security cam footage. [chh]
- 01:13 Joshua: Hey, Caleb, what's up man?

- 01:18 the shoot for the lobster--
- 01:19 Mike: I'm gonna go show him how to get there.
- 01:21 Joshua: Will just take a second, you know?
- 01:23 Caleb: Um, yeah, I'll be there in a minute.
- 01:24 Joshua: All right, sounds good. Mike: Okay.
- 01:31 Caleb: Well, I sit corrected.

- 01:38 Joshua: He's never gonna catch a plane in time.
- 01:39 We're totally gonna get there before he can say no and have

- 02:20 Caleb: Well, it's 3 o'clock in the morning as you can see.
- 02:22 We're headed to the airport, picked up my buddy Dimitri, he's
- 02:26 filming right now.
- 02:27 This is probably the least favorite time that I had, was
- 02:31 3 o'clock in the morning, but we gotta pick up fuel for the trip.
- 02:35 That's why Jack in the Crack is key.
- 02:41 Caleb: Trying to get onto the plane on time.
- 02:44 Nick Casucci: We're going, we're going, we're going.

- 03:07 Joshua: While Caleb and his friends were frolicking through
- 03:09 airports, singing their songs, giving each other high fives,
- 03:12 Mike and I were doing the heavy work.
- 03:14 We were on the ground, in Maine, making sure everything was ready
- 03:17 for this shoot.
- 03:19 Basically, the responsible in the group.
- 03:21 ♪♪♪
- 03:29 Caleb: With "The Lobstermen" being the inaugural series of
- 03:31 the "Bearded Bible Brothers," we knew it was gonna
- 03:33 take a village.
- 03:35 So that's why we decided to assemble an all-star team of
- 03:38 powerful believers across all walks of life.
- 03:41 That includes the usual suspects, such as our faithful
- 03:44 traveling companion Israel Hanna.
- 03:46 He's an evangelist.
- 03:47 Don't leave home without him.
- 03:49 Israel Hanna: Oh, look at this.
- 03:51 Israel: Pastor evangelist for the last 24 years now and
- 03:55 somehow I hooked up with these crazy Bearded Bible Brothers,
- 03:58 and it's been a heck of a ride ever since.
- 04:02 Dimitri: Hi, nice to see you. Israel: Nice to meet you.
- 04:07 Joshua: Here's the deal.
- 04:09 This is Maine.
- 04:10 This is Heaven 1.0.
- 04:12 This is God's first attempt at making something perfect, and
- 04:14 let's be honest, he only went further 'cause people were
- 04:17 complainers, but not us, we love it.
- 04:18 Now, who's this gentleman?
- 04:20 You might remember this gentleman, Mike Ferland, from
- 04:22 "The Comradery Chronicles" as him and I road-tripped all the
- 04:25 way from Texas to Maine.
- 04:27 It was an incredible series.
- 04:28 Mike Ferland: It was awesome.
- 04:29 Joshua: And this is gonna be even better because we're about
- 04:31 to have eight crazy nights-- no, that's Hanukkah.
- 04:34 Eight crazy days here in Maine learning how to be men, learning
- 04:38 how to hear the voice of the Lord and what he has for us
- 04:40 right now.
- 04:41 But even better than anything else, we have moose, we
- 04:43 have lobster.
- 04:45 You think it's not kosher.
- 04:46 I know you, you're feeling a little judgey.
- 04:47 We're gonna share all about that.
- 04:49 I cannot wait.
- 04:50 The lobsterman begins now, and if my Jewish spidey senses have
- 04:55 served me correctly, I hear my brother over here.
- 04:57 Yep, there he is, and Israel.
- 04:58 Woo-hoo!
- 05:00 Israel: Hey, there you are.
- 05:03 God bless you, man.
- 05:04 Nice to see you guys.
- 05:05 Nice to see you again, nice to meet you.
- 05:09 Caleb: Mike! Mike: What's going on?
- 05:12 Caleb: Thank you so much.
- 05:14 Israel: I wonder if they'd mind if I jumped up there on
- 05:15 his back, what do you think?
- 05:19 Joshua: We're over here.
- 05:20 We're over here-- don't miss us.
- 05:22 Here--here we are, thank you.
- 05:24 ♪♪♪
- 05:32 Caleb: It's so pretty I can almost smell the lobster
- 05:34 from here, delicious.
- 05:36 Joshua: It's like effervescent.
- 05:38 Caleb: You know, I'm sure many of you Jewish believers or even
- 05:42 non-Jewish believers watching us may be
- 05:44 horrified by our deference for lobsters.
- 05:47 I mean, we're Jewish and we're doing an entire series focusing
- 05:51 on these unclean crustaceans.
- 05:53 Well, there's a reason behind that.
- 05:56 If you go back to Mark 16:15, Yeshua told his disciples, "Go
- 06:01 into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."
- 06:05 Now, I'm sure at this time that his disciples weren't thinking
- 06:08 that Yeshua actually meant that he was supposed to go to the
- 06:11 lobster, that he was supposed to go to these unclean, these
- 06:13 uncircumcised individuals and tell them the gospel.
- 06:17 I mean, this was an undone thing because three years prior when
- 06:21 Yeshua was choosing his disciples, these fishermen, he
- 06:25 says, "Guys, I'm gonna make you fishers of men."
- 06:27 They say, "Cool, we're gonna go catch fish.
- 06:30 We're going to catch the clean creatures.
- 06:31 We're going to catch Jews for the kingdom."
- 06:34 But now everything was changed, Josh.
- 06:37 Everything was flipped on its head.
- 06:38 But it's interesting because when Yeshua came to this earth,
- 06:41 he came to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
- 06:44 He says this in Matthew 15:24, "But He," Yeshua, "answered and
- 06:48 said, 'I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of
- 06:51 Israel,'" and that was his job to bring the gospel to the Jews.
- 06:55 Joshua: People get hung up all
- 06:56 the time to stop--by calling, "I'm not an evangelist.
- 06:58 I'm not this," and then yet he said to everybody, "Go and tell
- 07:02 everyone what you've seen," but he said specifically to go out
- 07:05 and tell those lobsters, those Gentiles.
- 07:08 He gave them that order. He meant it.
- 07:11 So what did they do?
- 07:12 They didn't do what he said.
- 07:13 This is kind of their MO for a while, until something special
- 07:16 happens with another man by the name of Shaul.
- 07:20 Caleb: That's right, Shaul was this fierce Rabbi, this strict
- 07:24 adherent of the law of Torah, and he went out and murdered
- 07:29 Christians, those followers of Yeshua, those Jewish followers
- 07:33 of Yeshua.
- 07:34 He got caught in the road, and Yeshua kind of made him blind,
- 07:36 knocked him over the head and say, "Hey, dude, stop
- 07:38 killing my people.
- 07:40 I'm gonna send you to those lobsters.
- 07:42 You're gonna preach my gospel to those unclean, to those
- 07:45 uncircumcised individuals."
- 07:47 And all the Jews saw Shaul, the very first lobsterman, go out
- 07:51 and preach the gospel, and they were, like, is that really what
- 07:54 Yeshua meant when he was flying off?
- 07:56 Go to those guys?
- 07:58 I mean, it's crazy.
- 07:59 Joshua: Settle in because in this series we're gonna get to
- 08:02 the heart of the matter of what Yeshua really meant.
- 08:04 Did he mean for you never ever to touch lobster again and to be
- 08:08 abhorred by the idea, or was he talking about being kosher in
- 08:12 your heart?
- 08:18 Joshua: Oh my goodness, look at that.
- 08:20 We're not in Texas anymore, Toto.
- 08:23 Israel: Oh man, this is awesome.
- 08:25 Caleb: Freaking awesome, yes.
- 08:27 Mike: It's kind of like a clawfoot tub.
- 08:30 Joshua: This is Lobstropolis.
- 08:33 It's so much better than Haltom City.
- 08:35 Israel: Wow, I wasn't expecting anything like this.
- 08:39 Mike: No way. Israel: That's amazing.
- 08:42 Ryan Economy: It's the Bearded Bible bros.
- 08:46 Ryan: Why am I on the show?
- 08:47 They wanted someone, I think, young that has a good passion
- 08:51 for Jesus, handsome, and smells kind of good.
- 08:56 Joshua: How long have you been in there?
- 08:57 Ryan: Just a couple weeks now.
- 09:01 Joshua: You definitely need a bath.
- 09:03 You've been out there for a minute.
- 09:05 Isn't this incredible?
- 09:06 Ryan: Yes, this place is beautiful.
- 09:08 Joshua: It's a dump compared to your house, but man, this is
- 09:09 so nice.
- 09:11 Caleb: Now with our amazing team nearly assembled minus one very
- 09:14 important person, we decided it was time to prepare for the
- 09:18 great journey of training to become the lobster.
- 09:21 Oh wait, is that a pool table?
- 09:23 Sweet.
- 09:25 That's what I'm talking about.
- 09:28 Foosball.
- 09:29 Joshua: There's weights.
- 09:31 Caleb: We have plenty to do in between takes.
- 09:34 Caleb: Now, that is a house, we're gonna have to
- 09:36 name her, guys.
- 09:38 Joshua: Ooh, ooh, what about the Atlantic Ocean?
- 09:41 Mike: The house is this way.
- 09:42 Joshua: Oh yeah, that's beautiful.
- 09:44 I mean, not as big as the ocean, but it's cool.
- 09:46 Caleb: How about Lobstropolis?
- 09:48 Joshua: Mm, I like it. Caleb: Very cool.
- 09:50 Mike: Clawfoot Hub.
- 09:51 Caleb: Ooh, I wanna sit in that for a while and marinate.
- 09:55 Israel: What about the Lobster Lair?
- 09:57 Joshua: Very cool, I like it.
- 09:59 Ryan: The Crustacean Station.
- 10:01 Joshua: Okay, a little juvenile, but sure.
- 10:04 Lobstaminable Bay.
- 10:07 I think it brings a lot to mind, you know, a lot to think about.
- 10:10 Mike: It brings a lot to mind.
- 10:13 Caleb: Well, guys, the big question is why do we come to
- 10:16 this beautiful land that God hath given us?
- 10:19 I mean, it is awesome.
- 10:20 Mike: It is awesome, but guys, you wanna learn
- 10:23 about lobstermen?
- 10:24 You have come to the right place.
- 10:26 Joshua: You don't think we could do that in Texas?
- 10:27 Mike: No, Rockland is the lobster capital of the world.
- 10:32 Joshua: Is this Rockland?
- 10:33 Mike: This is Rockland. And think about this.
- 10:37 The state of Maine is known for its lobster, okay, right?
- 10:41 Eighty-four percent of all lobster caught on the East Coast
- 10:46 is caught in Maine.
- 10:48 It's a almost billion dollar industry here in Maine.
- 10:52 Caleb: I think what the important point is, guys, we
- 10:55 have to learn to be like Rabbi Shaul, the first lobsterman.
- 10:58 He went out and brought the gospel to the Gentiles, and each
- 11:01 one of us can reach the world within our own sphere of
- 11:04 influence because the Great Commission was a command.
- 11:06 It was a directive. It wasn't a choice.
- 11:08 We all have to reach the world with the gospel of Yeshua.
- 11:11 So how do we learn to be lobstermen, Mike?
- 11:14 Mike: Thank you for asking, Caleb, because I used my Mainer
- 11:17 connections and I got us a real lobsterman who is going to be
- 11:25 here tomorrow.
- 11:27 And he's gonna train all of us how to be an authentic
- 11:33 Maine lobsterman.
- 11:34 Caleb: Shoot, I'm gonna be the best one ever.
- 11:36 Joshua: I'm gonna go home and catch lobster for my kids out of
- 11:39 the river in Texas, the Trinity, and they're gonna love me and
- 11:41 think I'm amazing.
- 11:43 Mike: Let's start with not falling overboard.
- 11:44 Joshua: Okay, that will be good.
- 11:46 Mike: Start small.
- 11:47 Caleb: We gotta get to bed.
- 11:49 I gotta get ready for tomorrow.
- 11:50 Joshua: Yeah, it is pretty late, it's 4 p.m.
- 11:53 It's gonna get darker in about six minutes.
- 11:55 I can see it. I can taste it.
- 11:57 Ah, beautiful.
- 12:00 I'll give you that.
- 12:02 Ryan: Josh, over-- Caleb: Love it.
- 12:06 Joshua: Lobster palooza. [laughter]
- 12:09 Joshua: Twenty three years you abandoned me to have a wife and
- 12:11 a family, we're finally back in the same room again.
- 12:13 This is awesome.
- 12:15 Caleb: Guess it's is pretty cool.
- 12:16 Joshua: It's gonna be an amazing trip.
- 12:18 Oh, I'm tired.
- 12:19 Oh, I can't wait to--oh!
- 12:22 Caleb: Mike number three. Mike De Cardenas: Josh.
- 12:24 Mike: I'm Mike, I'm the owner of Nutrishop Alliance Fort Worth.
- 12:27 I was told there would be free lobster by Joshua Colson.
- 12:31 Joshua: You get here?
- 12:33 Mike: I've been here the whole time.
- 12:34 Joshua: Really? Mike: Yes.
- 12:36 Joshua: I totally didn't even-- the whole time?
- 12:38 Mike: Yes, dude, you invited me.
- 12:40 Joshua: Oh, man, my bed.
- 12:42 I'm getting older.
- 12:43 Oh, we gotta get some sleep in the morning.
- 12:45 All right, let's roll back over.
- 12:47 It's okay if I face this way.

- 13:38 Joshua: Good morning. Josh Lee: This is Jake.
- 13:39 Joshua: Jake, nice to meet you.
- 13:41 Hey, good morning, sir.
- 13:43 Good to see you, man.
- 13:44 Good to meet you, Jake. How are you?
- 13:47 Bubba Lee: Joshua, good to meet you, brother.
- 13:49 Josh Lee: This is Jake, and that's Bubba.
- 13:51 Caleb: Jake, what's happening, man?
- 13:52 Good to see you, good--
- 13:54 Ryan: Bubba, how are you?
- 13:55 Israel: Bless you, my friend, we're gonna have a good day.
- 13:58 Don't let us drown out there.
- 14:00 Caleb: Well, gentlemen, we're splitting into two teams onto
- 14:03 two boats.
- 14:05 Strike team, come with me.
- 14:07 Team Discovery Channel, come with him.
- 14:12 Josh: I used to like to drink.
- 14:13 I liked to party, you know, before I got married, that's
- 14:16 kind of--that was what I thought was fun, partying and trying to
- 14:20 get a girl.
- 14:21 But even though I considered myself a Christian, I would
- 14:24 still--I was in there, and then I met my wife, and I prayed
- 14:29 and prayed.
- 14:30 You know, for a while I was hoping to find the right one and
- 14:33 I would meet girls and it just wouldn't work out and then, you
- 14:37 know, everything kind of changed and I just thank God for that
- 14:40 every day.
- 14:42 Now we're there.
- 14:44 So we'll go outside and gear up.
- 14:45 Joshua: Yes! Ryan: Woo-hoo!
- 14:50 Josh: You could just hook the rope.
- 14:53 male: Don't hit us.
- 14:54 Caleb: I am Captain Hook.
- 14:56 Josh: All right, here we go.
- 14:58 Nice, you got it.
- 15:03 Caleb: I am a lobsterman!
- 15:06 Josh: So now while this one's coming up, we can look at
- 15:09 our lobsters from the last one.
- 15:13 The first thing we do is check the sex of it.
- 15:16 Well, this one's a male.
- 15:18 Caleb: How do you know?
- 15:19 Josh: Well, you can tell because he's got a little bigger--so
- 15:24 that on a male, his little flipper there is a little
- 15:26 bigger, if it's a female, and you see how hers is more
- 15:30 paper thin.
- 15:32 Caleb: More masculine flipper, check.
- 15:34 Josh: That's right.
- 15:36 Caleb: Where's your lobster? Joshua: Huh?
- 15:39 Caleb: I don't see your lobster.
- 15:40 Joshua: I already ate mine, I threw the refuse away.
- 15:43 Caleb: I don't know, buddy.
- 15:45 [indistinct]
- 15:47 Caleb: Yeah, it's a contest. The game is on.
- 15:51 Let's see how many lobsters you can get.
- 15:56 Israel: Of course I'm the best lobsterman.
- 15:58 I've already caught like 50 and they haven't even pulled one in.
- 16:04 Mike: And now they're throwing food.
- 16:06 That's real mature, throw your food at the boat.
- 16:09 We're trying to catch the lobsters, not throw them.
- 16:13 Caleb: All right, Josh, we got some good-looking lobsters, but
- 16:17 I still don't feel qualified to be a lobsterman right now.
- 16:20 I mean, you told me you go through 400 traps a day.
- 16:23 We went through, what?
- 16:24 Josh: Eight--no, six.
- 16:27 Caleb: Not as good as eight.
- 16:29 What does it really take to be a lobsterman?
- 16:31 Josh: For your first time out here that wasn't bad.
- 16:34 I've seen a lot worse, but I think we could get you to be,
- 16:39 you know, a real good stern man.
- 16:41 Mike: Not a captain, a stern man.
- 16:43 You know, guys, I think a lot of times we think even in
- 16:47 Christianity or, you know, serving the Lord that we have to
- 16:51 get all of that training first, that we have to achieve
- 16:54 something and be a captain before we can even
- 16:56 start lobstering.
- 16:58 But the reality of it is, is God doesn't work that way.
- 17:01 God doesn't choose or take the people who are
- 17:03 already qualified.
- 17:04 He qualifies all of us to go out and to share.
- 17:07 And, you know, I remember a story when I was in the Navy and
- 17:10 boot camp, first night that we were actually allowed to have a
- 17:13 couple of minutes, I was like looking at this Bible and in the
- 17:16 back it had references.
- 17:18 It would say, you know, if you're going through a sad time,
- 17:22 look at these verses, or you need encouragement, and so it's,
- 17:25 like, I needed encouragement.
- 17:27 So I look at it, says Joshua 1:9.
- 17:30 So I open in the Bible Joshua 1:9, and I read it, and it says,
- 17:34 you know, "Have I not commanded you?
- 17:36 Be strong and of good courage.
- 17:37 Do not fear or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you
- 17:41 wherever you go."
- 17:42 And I was just like, man, that--that hit me.
- 17:44 I was like, God has called me here.
- 17:46 I know this is what he has for my life.
- 17:48 And I look across from me, and sitting next to his bunk is this
- 17:52 guy, he's crying, and I was like, you know, I don't know if
- 17:56 I wanna go over there, and God, "Go over there and tell
- 17:58 him what I've told you."
- 18:00 I'm like, God, I don't know anything.
- 18:01 I know, you know, just a couple of Bible stories.
- 18:03 He's like, "Go over there."
- 18:04 So I go over, I sit down next to him and I'm like,
- 18:07 "Hey, what's going on?"
- 18:08 He's like, "I just don't want to be here.
- 18:09 I shouldn't be here, I don't even know why I came here.
- 18:12 I just want to go back to my family,
- 18:14 I wanna go back to see my girlfriend."
- 18:15 And so I read that verse to him, and he was, just--instantly it
- 18:17 was just like, "Yeah, you know what?
- 18:20 God does want me here."
- 18:21 And he was a believer, you know, just like he told to Moses when
- 18:24 Moses was like, "I can't go and talk,
- 18:26 I don't even know what to say, and he's like,
- 18:27 "Just open your mouth and I'll teach your tongue the
- 18:29 words to speak."
- 18:31 And I just kind of felt like that's how what God was doing
- 18:33 with me.
- 18:34 Caleb: We think we have to do it alone.
- 18:36 We don't understand that this is a team.
- 18:38 We are all a part of the body of Messiah, and this is not a
- 18:41 one-man show.
- 18:43 He's the head, he directs us, but it really is about
- 18:46 working together.
- 18:48 Josh: And we all need each other to get it done.
- 18:51 Ryan: On a side note, talking about working together, I think
- 18:54 I have a really good team-building exercise
- 18:57 that we could use.
- 18:58 Caleb: You're gonna train us. Ryan: I got an idea.
- 19:00 Caleb: This ought to be interesting.
- 19:03 Caleb: 2 Corinthians 3:18.
- 19:05 "But we all with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the
- 19:10 glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image
- 19:14 from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
- 19:25 Joshua: Wow, that's pretty cool.
- 19:27 Israel: That's amazing.
- 19:28 Joshua: I mean, it's pretty big, I guess.
- 19:29 Mike: Wait, but where's Ryan? Joshua: No idea.
- 19:32 Ryan: What's going on, guys? Joshua: Oh, my.
- 19:35 Ryan: You guys ready for some climbing?
- 19:37 Joshua: You just hide in things and wait to jump out?
- 19:40 Ryan: Yeah, I was there for about a week before this.
- 19:42 Anyway, we gotta weigh you guys in real quick and then we'll
- 19:45 get going.
- 19:46 Caleb: Like, there's a weight limit?
- 19:48 Ryan: Yes, so.
- 19:49 Joshua: I laugh at your weight limit.
- 19:50 I'm not even scared.
- 19:52 I've been eating clean for two months, let's do this.
- 19:54 Ryan: You broke the scale.
- 19:56 Joshua: Aw, man. Caleb: Josh, why?
- 19:59 Joshua: They're not gonna let me climb.
- 20:00 Caleb: Oh, my goodness. Ryan: Safety first.
- 20:04 Joshua: We have to find somebody to take over for me.
- 20:07 Ryan: All right, well, it looks like the majority of us are able
- 20:09 to climb, unfortunately for some of us that break the scales.
- 20:13 Joshua: It's not even fair.
- 20:14 I'm not fat, I'm just husky. My mom told me.
- 20:17 Ryan: You don't even need the helmet.
- 20:19 Joshua: I don't--I'm trying to be safe.
- 20:20 I'm trying to follow the rules.
- 20:22 Ryan: I know, you look good.
- 20:23 Joshua: Can I tag somebody in instead, a team member?
- 20:25 Mikey, Mike, come here, I need you to do me proud
- 20:30 and Nutrishop and everything else.
- 20:31 I tried to get so healthy, but I failed them.
- 20:34 Please, climb and beat them.
- 20:35 And when you get up there, throw them off the top to show
- 20:37 our dominance.
- 20:38 Mike: I hate heights.
- 20:40 ♪♪♪
- 20:48 Ryan: So what's awesome about like rock climbing and other
- 20:52 like physical activities, hiking, working out is that
- 20:55 there's always a challenge aspect to it.
- 20:57 Doesn't come with immediate success.
- 21:01 Comes with challenges, and not only that but just following
- 21:05 Jesus can sometimes be--it should be very exciting at
- 21:09 first, like when we start rock climbing, it's very exciting.
- 21:11 But then there's gonna be some roadblocks, for example, the
- 21:14 book of Job where we see someone who's a loving servant of God
- 21:18 and he had a lot taken away from him.
- 21:20 Joshua: You mean, like, my ability to climb this wall was
- 21:22 taken away from me by you?
- 21:23 Ryan: I don't even know what you're talking about, but
- 21:24 anyway, what's crazy, though, is like in those moments of Job was
- 21:31 questioning God, and God was giving him a lot of different
- 21:36 examples of why God is God, why he's awesome, and he gave him so
- 21:40 many gifts afterwards.
- 21:41 Yes, Job went through a lot of challenges, and yes, rock
- 21:44 climbing will bring us to a lot of challenges, but that doesn't
- 21:48 mean that we should give up.
- 21:50 Job didn't give up, and we can do the same thing because if we
- 21:52 keep climbing, we can get all the way to the top and see the
- 21:55 beautiful view, but it's worth the challenges.
- 21:59 I just say no matter what it is, if we're hiking a small little
- 22:02 hill or hiking Mount Everest or K2, we just keep trying to get
- 22:06 to the top 'cause God's gonna give us a beautiful view even
- 22:09 through the toughest of times.
- 22:11 Caleb: I think that's also part of our journey as believers, is
- 22:14 when we first start off, the enemy is so afraid of us he just
- 22:18 sends everything he has at us, and I see this mountain, it just
- 22:21 reminds me of when you first become a Christian and you start
- 22:24 at the bottom of this mountain.
- 22:25 And the more you grow and the closer you get to Yeshua, you
- 22:30 ascend that mountain, and as it says in scripture, "You're
- 22:33 rising from glory to glory, being transformed into
- 22:36 his image."
- 22:37 You're becoming more like Jesus when you reach the top of
- 22:39 that mountain.
- 22:40 And when the devil looks at you, he's afraid 'cause all he sees
- 22:42 is Yeshua's glory shining off your face.
- 22:45 He's like, "Uh-oh, I can't mess with that guy."
- 22:47 So I don't know about you guys, but I wanna be at the top of
- 22:49 that mountain.
- 22:51 Joshua: Great lesson, really important, but you know what
- 22:54 really is gonna settle everything?
- 22:55 The king of the mountain.
- 22:56 How do you know who the king of the mountain is?
- 22:58 Who gets to the top first.
- 23:00 Obviously, they're afraid of me.
- 23:01 They know I have the advantage, why?
- 23:03 Because they banned me from this.
- 23:05 But you know what?
- 23:06 They may ban my body but not my spirit, because Michael is
- 23:09 stepping up in my place.
- 23:10 My stand-in, have you seen his biceps?
- 23:13 He's gonna out-climb everybody here.
- 23:17 Caleb: Today, the grand champion is Mike III--whoa.
- 23:25 Mike III?
- 23:26 Mike: Thank you.
- 23:27 Israel: Okay, I'm glad I didn't win.
- 23:29 Ryan: Yeah, that doesn't work.
- 23:31 Caleb: He couldn't even climb the rock wall, so he decided to
- 23:33 steal the trophy.
- 23:35 That's really fair.
- 23:36 Way to be mature again, Josh.
- 23:44 Joshua: I know that we've had a fun day today, but I have one
- 23:46 surprise left, this--the pinnacle, if you ask me,
- 23:49 of the day.
- 23:50 To even out the over-Mike population of this series, I
- 23:54 have a friend coming in who so graciously has agreed to be here
- 23:59 for us: none other than Joshua Aaron.
- 24:02 Brother, please enter.
- 24:05 Ryan: What? Joshua: Yes, sir.
- 24:07 Joshua Aaron: I heard those accolades.
- 24:09 Joshua: They thought I was just making things up as usual.
- 24:12 [cross-talk]
- 24:15 Joshua: Get out of here, get out of here.
- 24:16 Caleb: Good to see you again, man.
- 24:18 Joshua: Hey guys, I figured the Bearded Brothers
- 24:19 needed a mustached friend to join them today.
- 24:22 Caleb: I see some beard coming out there.
- 24:23 That's good, man.
- 24:25 Joshua Aaron: It's a stinking unbelievable Maine.
- 24:27 I wish you could see it in the cameras right now 'cause you can
- 24:29 see the stars and it's just gorgeous.
- 24:32 Caleb: Josh, what is your perspective, man?
- 24:34 I mean, what is the importance of us believers going out into
- 24:39 all the world now versus just ten years ago, more of another--
- 24:43 I just feel the sense of urgency that we don't
- 24:45 have much time left.
- 24:47 Joshua: We don't have much time left.
- 24:48 It's imperative.
- 24:52 My favorite singer, Keith Green, he said
- 24:56 Jesus commands us to go.
- 24:57 It should be the exception if we stay.
- 25:00 And you know, I mean, sometimes going means going across the
- 25:03 street to tell your neighbors, you know, but rather it's
- 25:08 easy to be complacent.
- 25:09 You know, I've been living in Israel for a long time, and then
- 25:11 coming back to America, I'm feeling the contrast pretty
- 25:15 stark, you know?
- 25:16 Like, I'm getting caught up in all the beautiful, easy things,
- 25:20 like everything's at your fingertips, and
- 25:23 it's a battle for me to not be complacent, and it's easy to
- 25:26 forget that there's a world that needs to be reached, and we
- 25:29 are--we can use that comfort to rest and get back out as quick,
- 25:34 but sometimes we kind of get stuck in the rest.
- 25:36 I--even church, it becomes more comfort, it's comfortable.
- 25:39 You got a actual rock band playing
- 25:41 awesome songs every Sunday--
- 25:44 Caleb: Beautiful voices.
- 25:46 Joshua: Yeah, and it's, you know, just the idea of, yeah, we
- 25:49 use that comfort to get back rested and get back out and
- 25:52 share the gospel more.
- 25:54 Caleb: Amen, I would like to hear some worshiping of God now
- 25:57 since we have a, you know, record--world renowned
- 26:03 recording artist.
- 26:04 Joshua: I can say this to him.
- 26:05 Mike: And, luckily, he brought his guitar.
- 26:08 Caleb: The man came prepared.
- 26:11 Mike: It's such a beautiful melody.
- 26:13 Joshua: Joshua, when Israel was coming into the Promised
- 26:15 Land, he's like, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the
- 26:19 gods of Egypt or the pagan gods or the God of Israel.
- 26:23 And he said, "As for me and my house, we will serve
- 26:26 Yud Hey Vav Hey.
- 26:27 Israel: That's who I serve.
- 26:29 Joshua: And I wanna sing this song I wrote for my--on behalf
- 26:31 of my family and our families, as for me and my house.
