• 03:07 Joshua: While Caleb and his friends were frolicking through

• 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!

• 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.
