Caption transcript for The Lobstermen: “One New Man!” (2/10)
- 00:01 male announcer: Today on "The Lobstermen." Bubba Lee: Spin it across the top, and then the magic stop.
- 00:09 Joshua Colson: Lobster sushi. Jake Lee: I like to cook my bacon.
- 00:11 Joshua: You like--wait is that pork?
- 00:13 I'm a Jew going to catch lobsters.
- 00:15 That's doubly un-kosher.
- 00:17 Joshua: God called the Jewish people to bring salvation to
- 00:20 the world.
- 00:21 By the blood of Yeshua, the Gentiles can be grafted into the
- 00:25 Commonwealth of Israel.
- 00:26 We're all part of the kingdom of heaven and one new man.

- 01:20 Mike Ferland: I had told the guys from the beginning that
- 01:23 Maine is a very difficult place to evangelize.
- 01:27 It's second or third most difficult place in the United
- 01:30 States to evangelize, and having pastored here for 14 years, I
- 01:34 know the difficulties and the challenges with it.
- 01:36 Israel Hanna: Let me just walk over there by myself for a
- 01:38 minute and let's see what's--kind of feel it out.
- 01:41 Where does he want us to go?
- 01:43 Israel: Well, I'm an evangelist.
- 01:44 If I talk to ten people, 10 people I'll pray
- 01:47 with, literally.
- 01:48 Here, half of the people said they didn't want to hear it.
- 01:51 That's hardly ever happened to me.
- 01:53 Israel: So, are you guys Christians by any chance?
- 01:55 Do you believe in Jesus or not really?
- 01:57 Israel: And it breaks my heart to hear someone say, "I don't
- 02:01 want to hear the good news of Jesus Christ."
- 02:04 Joshua: It's called "Bearded Bible Brothers."
- 02:05 We normally teach from Israel and we show about history and
- 02:07 stuff like that from the biblical era and talk about that
- 02:10 kind of stuff and--
- 02:11 male: All right, I'll let you go and do your--
- 02:13 Joshua: It was good talking with you, yeah, yeah.
- 02:16 Mike: Nice to meet you. Thank you.
- 02:18 Caleb Colson: Good morning. What are all these things here?
- 02:21 Zoe Mason: I have an herb farm so I make teas and dry a bunch
- 02:25 of herbs and then I make all sorts of things.
- 02:27 Caleb: Stuff my wife would know about.
- 02:29 I don't know anything about.
- 02:31 Israel: We're Christians.
- 02:33 Are you a Christian by any chance?
- 02:35 Russell: I'm a Christian, yeah. I don't go to church anymore.
- 02:38 Israel: Yeah, me neither.
- 02:39 We don't either because of what the church has
- 02:41 become, unfortunately.
- 02:42 Russell: I went to church for a long time, then I just didn't
- 02:44 want to go anymore.
- 02:45 Israel: I know because-- Russell: There's no point in it.
- 02:46 Israel: It's very true.
- 02:48 It's about having a relationship with him.
- 02:49 Zoe: Yeah, I'll just put a little dab on your hand.
- 02:51 Oh, I really like your ring.
- 02:54 Caleb: You do? Zoe: You speak Hebrew?
- 02:56 Caleb: I know a few words, but I don't speak it.
- 02:58 Zoe: I speak Hebrew.
- 03:00 I lived in Israel for like nine years.
- 03:02 Caleb: Did you really? I go to Israel all the time.
- 03:04 Zoe: Really?
- 03:06 Caleb: I had no idea I would meet another Jew here.
- 03:08 Russell: I have a higher power.
- 03:10 Israel: Higher power, that's a sobriety term.
- 03:12 Russell: It is a sobriety term.
- 03:13 Israel: What do you got--how many years?
- 03:15 Russell: Not too many. Israel: I got 44.
- 03:17 Russell: 44, well, that's a great start.
- 03:20 Israel: A good start, anyway.
- 03:21 Caleb: We are believers in Yeshua Jesus and that's kind of
- 03:24 our--we like to teach the Jewish side of things to Christians.
- 03:27 These are what our traditions were and the processes of what
- 03:30 he was doing, so--
- 03:31 Zoe: Yeah, and get a little bit of that background.
- 03:33 Caleb: Exactly.
- 03:34 Zoe: I mean, Jews don't really want people to convert.
- 03:36 Caleb: I understand, which is sad because one of the things we
- 03:40 teach is Jews were called to be a light unto the Gentiles.
- 03:42 That was our moniker.
- 03:44 Zoe: I think Jews should work through action to like show that
- 03:48 they want like, yeah, change in the world.
- 03:51 I feel like that's a really important like base to Judaism.
- 03:55 Israel: Russell, you gotta want it.
- 03:56 And do you want it this time?
- 03:57 This is your last time, you know.
- 03:59 Russell: I hope so. Israel: All right, bye-bye.
- 04:00 Caleb: It's not that we're trying to manipulate people.
- 04:02 These aren't any tricks.
- 04:04 We don't come prepared with a script.
- 04:05 This is just the Holy Spirit leading us in the moment to
- 04:08 learn more about these people.
- 04:09 And when we do, they want to learn more about us.
- 04:12 Caleb: She's from Israel.
- 04:13 Israel: You're from Israel? My name is Israel.
- 04:17 I've been in Israel 25 times.
- 04:18 We've traveled there quite a bit.
- 04:20 Caleb: He's my buddy. We travel together.
- 04:22 Israel: So, you are from Israel?
- 04:23 Zoe: Well, actually I'm from Maine.
- 04:24 I grew up in Maine.
- 04:26 And then I moved to Israel when I was 23, I guess.
- 04:29 Israel: So, what is your name? Zoe: My name is Zoe.
- 04:32 Caleb: Zoe? Israel: Zoe.
- 04:33 Caleb: I'm Caleb. Zoe: Caleb, nice to meet you.
- 04:35 Israel: And Israel.
- 04:37 See, Zoe, we pray for people all over the world that God will
- 04:42 prosper in your hands and bless your business.
- 04:44 Can we pray for you? Would that be all right?
- 04:47 Zoe: You can bless my business. Caleb: Yes, we will do.
- 04:49 Israel: So, Father God, we ask you to bless Zoe, to prosper the
- 04:53 work of her hands.
- 04:55 Israel: It was such a joy meeting her and the spirit that
- 04:58 she had.
- 05:00 I got a chance to pray for her business and she really
- 05:02 appreciated that and because she's in business trying to earn
- 05:05 a living.
- 05:06 Israel: So, she's sowing those seeds in us, so we ask that you
- 05:09 would bless these seeds that she's sowing and help her and
- 05:13 give her good health.
- 05:15 What you're already doing, but help her with any areas of her
- 05:18 life that she needs healing in today.
- 05:20 Caleb: No one ever turns us down when we say, "Can we pray a
- 05:23 blessing over you?"
- 05:24 Everybody wants a blessing, so it blessed us that we had this
- 05:28 opportunity worlds away, the worlds came together in this
- 05:32 special situation because it's God ordained.
- 05:34 Israel: Thank you, Zoe. Have a great day.
- 05:36 Zoe: Keep up the good work. Caleb: Well, thank you.
- 05:40 Caleb: Guys, look, I found it. Plymouth Rock.
- 05:44 Mike: No, Caleb, this isn't Massachusetts.
- 05:46 This is Rockland, Maine, not Plymouth Rock.
- 05:50 Caleb: Well, what's so cool about Rockland, then?
- 05:51 Mike: Interesting fact, a group of notorious Muslims have come
- 05:55 through Rockland back in a date that most people probably don't
- 05:59 remember, on September 11, 2001.
- 06:03 The day before in September 10, the group of hijackers that were
- 06:07 part of 9/11 actually stopped in Rockland and bought some gear at
- 06:14 Radio Shack.
- 06:15 Caleb: What's Radio Shack?
- 06:16 No, I'm just joking.
- 06:18 Mike: Oh my gosh, you're not that young.
- 06:19 Caleb: If I were a terrorist, I wouldn't go to Radio Shack.
- 06:22 I would go someplace cool like Jihads"R"Us, you know?
- 06:27 Caleb: You never know who you're gonna meet.
- 06:28 I mean, I was walking around, I ran into an Israeli lady and
- 06:32 she's like, "You're Jewish?"
- 06:33 "Yeah, I'm Jewish," and I got to talk to her about what we do and
- 06:36 what would happen if someone would have ran into two of those
- 06:38 9/11 hijackers and told them about Yeshua?
- 06:41 Israel: You know, I can't believe you guys are mentioning
- 06:43 9/11 because I took a team of men down the Mississippi River
- 06:47 2,350 miles back in 1999 on September 11 to proclaim
- 06:52 judgment's coming to America.
- 06:54 And that two years later on that same exact day and the exact
- 06:58 hour the twin towers went down, our message is important because
- 07:01 repentance is still needed in this land.
- 07:04 Caleb: And I don't think that there's a much of a difference
- 07:06 whether you're a Jew or Gentile, or Muslim.
- 07:09 Everybody needs repentance.
- 07:10 Everybody needs to come to Yeshua.
- 07:12 Israel: And that's our common ground.
- 07:13 That actually makes us one.
- 07:15 Caleb: One new man.
- 07:16 Joshua: It's scary to go up to a stranger with a word that you
- 07:18 feel God has for them.
- 07:19 It's scary to risk the rejection, but what is the
- 07:22 absolute worst thing that could happen if you're wrong?
- 07:25 Simply that, rejection.
- 07:26 But see, you're not presenting yourself on behalf of you and
- 07:29 you're not going on behalf of your thoughts.
- 07:31 You're going on behalf of the Lord.
- 07:33 Use him as the scapegoat.
- 07:34 "Hey, I really felt like I was supposed to reach out today.
- 07:36 Is there anything I can pray for you about?"
- 07:38 If they say no? "God, well that's on you.
- 07:40 You owe me an ice cream."
- 07:41 Caleb: And I think the only way that we're really gonna learn
- 07:43 and teach our audience how to witness to the lost is by going
- 07:47 to catch more lobsters, yeah?
- 07:49 Joshua: Like on the boat?
- 07:51 Caleb: Like on a boat, like fishing on a boat.
- 07:52 Joshua: I wanna go eat a lobster.
- 07:53 Caleb: Okay, let's go.
- 07:55 ♪♪♪
- 08:00 ♪♪♪
- 08:08 Caleb: That looks delicious. Josh Lee: So this is pig hide.
- 08:12 Caleb: This is pig? Josh: This is.
- 08:13 Caleb: We finally found our pig. We went hog hunting earlier.
- 08:17 We couldn't find a hog.
- 08:19 Yeah, buddy!
- 08:21 We already got 500 lobster. We beat you.
- 08:25 Josh: So, we'll take two of these irons.
- 08:27 Caleb: Yep, thank you, sir.
- 08:29 Josh: About 14, we'll stuff in there.
- 08:32 Caleb: What are they called? Josh: Pogies.
- 08:35 Bubba: What we do is we just knit it across the top,
- 08:39 that'll--then spin it, and then through it.
- 08:44 Then the magic stop.
- 08:45 Joshua: Oh, lobster sushi. Bubba: You try that one.
- 08:50 Joshua: All right. Bubba: I usually don't do this.
- 08:53 Joshua: So that's why you're still better at it than me?
- 08:54 Bubba: I have the crew do it. Joshua: Got it.
- 08:58 Bubba: You watch out.
- 08:59 Joshua: You know, it's crazy because we know how to reap the
- 09:01 benefits by going down to Red Lobster and eating it, right?
- 09:04 But this right here, the whole process is brand new to us and
- 09:07 it can feel overwhelming.
- 09:09 And I think a lot of people feel overwhelmed when it comes to the
- 09:12 idea of evangelism because a lot of people are used to the final
- 09:15 product, sitting in a church pew listening to pastor.
- 09:18 It's really easy to hear him talk about it, right?
- 09:20 He's the professional.
- 09:22 It's easy for me to watch these guys making these bait traps
- 09:25 right here, luring the lobster in, catching 'em.
- 09:28 They can literally do it in their sleep.
- 09:30 But here's the difference, evangelism, it's just about
- 09:32 sharing the love of Christ.
- 09:35 It's not necessarily a process that says, "Okay, this person's
- 09:38 35, they're Muslim, and they're this, so you have to say A, B,
- 09:41 and C."
- 09:42 And I think people get caught up in that concept, right?
- 09:44 They think "I'm under-qualified, I don't know enough theology."
- 09:48 Joshua: Don't predetermine that God can't do something.
- 09:49 You're not God, right?
- 09:51 That's not your job, it's not your responsibility, but if
- 09:53 you're doing that, you're not operating out of faith.
- 09:55 And so, you're only gonna get the results that you
- 09:57 can determine.
- 09:58 You've already determined this is gonna fail.
- 09:59 It failed, wow.
- 10:01 Welcome to you using your faith for failure instead of
- 10:03 for success.
- 10:05 Joshua: Every time that God has placed somebody in front of me
- 10:07 that he wanted to share the gospel to, it was simply about
- 10:10 me listening first and then giving his love second.
- 10:13 Reminding them that no matter where they're at in their life,
- 10:17 they matter to God.
- 10:19 Asking them, "What can I pray with you about?"
- 10:21 Something simple, "Is there something in your life that you
- 10:23 need healing or help in?
- 10:24 Because God cares about you," and that always opened the door.
- 10:27 And then the most simple process of all at the very end was
- 10:30 accepting him, verbally speaking with your mouth, believing in
- 10:34 your heart that he's your Lord and Savior.
- 10:36 And then you're saved.
- 10:38 Significantly easier than lobstering, although these guys
- 10:41 over here would tell me maybe not because they've done it so
- 10:43 much, but even y'all guys, correct me if I'm wrong, first
- 10:45 time you ever did it, were you amazing at it?
- 10:48 I know you had to go back to eight years old.
- 10:50 Bubba: I probably was amazing.
- 10:52 Joshua: Okay, he was probably-- Bubba was amazing when
- 10:53 he first started.
- 10:54 Jake: I had to learn the hard way.
- 10:56 Joshua: We've all had--we've all started at different positions
- 10:58 and all of us have different skills and gifts, right?
- 11:00 But we're always supposed to be out there and be ambassadors, be
- 11:03 lobstermen for Jesus, hauling in these traps.
- 11:06 And look, for here this is the bait, right?
- 11:09 Delicious lobster sushi.
- 11:10 I have no idea what this is.
- 11:15 Tastes kind of gross, but the lobsters love it, right?
- 11:19 So, we're good.
- 11:21 Jake: I like to cook my bacon.
- 11:22 Joshua: You like to--well, you know.
- 11:24 Wait, is that pork?
- 11:26 Oh my goodness, this is so good.
- 11:28 I'm a Jew that just put raw pork in my mouth.
- 11:31 Going to catch lobsters, that's doubly un-kosher, but
- 11:34 because God saved us, there we go.
- 11:38 Caleb: Yeah, do you remember how many he put in there?
- 11:39 Josh: Two at a time, up to 12.
- 11:41 Caleb: So, this is usually the pace he need to go at, right?
- 11:44 Josh: That's right, yes.
- 11:45 Caleb: Are you saying that--
- 11:47 Josh: Oh no, I'm just saying it was the whole--this
- 11:49 whole process.
- 11:50 Caleb: Okay.
- 11:53 Caleb: Wouldn't you like to stop blowing monthly fees on
- 11:55 pagan entertainment?
- 11:57 Well, how about spreading the gospel of Yeshua while getting a
- 12:00 bunch of cool stuff?
- 12:02 Joshua: Heck yeah.
- 12:03 Caleb: Then join the Bearded Bible Bonanza on Patreon where
- 12:05 you'll see the brothers continue their teachings with
- 12:08 never-before-aired content that pagans don't want you to see.
- 12:11 God bless their souls.
- 12:15 Joshua: We are in one of the most beautiful spots in Maine.
- 12:18 And this spot right here in Damariscotta Lake is very
- 12:21 important because it's been in Mike and Becky's family for a
- 12:24 very long time.
- 12:25 When you stand here in the sun setting and all you can see is
- 12:28 the water and the pine trees and hear the wind rustling, it makes
- 12:31 you want to do the only thing that even makes sense as a man:
- 12:35 go catch an animal so that you can eat it later: fishing.
- 12:41 Ryan: Before we started fishing, there was an incident
- 12:44 where Israel and our director, Nick, were about to canoe and
- 12:48 get some cool footage.
- 12:57 Israel: Oh no.
- 12:58 Ryan: And then I hear a big splash and it sounded like
- 13:03 a three year old girl screaming.
- 13:05 [indistinct]
- 13:11 Israel: Oh no.
- 13:12 Ryan: Then I look over, it's just Nick, our director.
- 13:16 Lucky he was doing good. He was in a good spirit.
- 13:18 I had to spare a hoodie I could loan him, and he
- 13:20 stayed positive.
- 13:22 That's what the coolest thing about this whole crew--is that
- 13:23 everyone's like very positive.
- 13:30 Joshua: We are the Lobstermen--and woman.
- 13:34 Ryan: Bearded Bible Bros!
- 13:38 male: Ephesians 2:11 through 13, "Therefore, keep in mind that
- 13:42 once you--Gentiles in the flesh--were called
- 13:45 "uncircumcision" by those who called "circumcision" [which is
- 13:49 performed on flesh by hand].
- 13:51 At that time you were separate from the Messiah, excluded from
- 13:54 the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of
- 13:57 promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
- 14:00 But now in Messiah Yeshua, you who once were far off have been
- 14:05 brought near by the blood of Messiah."
- 14:08 Joshua: Yeah, guys, this is exactly what I've needed after
- 14:13 all of this mayhem we've already been through.
- 14:15 And by what I needed, I mean some kind of culture and class
- 14:18 in the boat.
- 14:19 Israel, have you ever met Dara before?
- 14:21 Israel: We just met earlier.
- 14:23 Joshua: If you're watching this, our camaraderie chronicles was
- 14:25 an amazing series where Mike and I traveled from Texas to Maine
- 14:29 and we journaled the entire experience, but when we got
- 14:32 here, Dara hosted us for a Fellowship of Christian Athletes
- 14:35 event where I got to speak to some high school kids and talk
- 14:38 to them about the love of Yeshua and some of the experiences that
- 14:41 happened in my life as I've gone along my journey with Christ and
- 14:44 it was an amazing thing, and I hear that you're a
- 14:48 wicked-good fisherwoman?
- 14:50 So you had to be here today.
- 14:52 Dara: Yes, I'm so happy to be here.
- 14:53 I grew up in Maine, so I think if you have been in Maine, in
- 14:56 rural Maine, that you have always been out on the water and
- 14:58 it's one of my favorite places to be for sure.
- 15:01 Joshua: It always goes back to Maine.
- 15:02 Are we expected to fish here, Mike?
- 15:04 Mike: Well, I mean, you guys did say that you're Jewish, and I
- 15:08 want to make sure that we're dealing with kosher, and fish
- 15:12 for some reason are kosher, but lobsters are not.
- 15:16 Am I right?
- 15:17 Joshua: Look, I didn't make the rules, but yes, you're
- 15:19 technically right.
- 15:21 Crustaceans are bottom feeders.
- 15:23 I hate to say this in front of such nice company, but they eat
- 15:25 the poo, and because of that, they're detailed as being
- 15:29 un-kosher in the Bible.
- 15:31 Caleb: Well, not exactly.
- 15:32 It's more to it than that.
- 15:34 If we want to read the exact specifications, we're gonna have
- 15:38 to find a scripture in Leviticus which outlines the kosher law.
- 15:43 Leviticus 11:9 through 10 says, "From all that are in the
- 15:46 waters, you may eat whatever has fins and scales, within the
- 15:49 water, in the seas and in the rivers.
- 15:52 Those you may eat.
- 15:53 But any that do not have fins and scales...they are loathsome
- 15:57 to you."
- 15:59 That means you can't eat whales, you can't eat sharks, you can't
- 16:01 eat crustaceans, you can't eat Mosasauruses and plesiosaurus.
- 16:05 Joshua: I guarantee they ate poo too.
- 16:06 My explanation was just as good.
- 16:07 Joshua: Caleb, like many other theologians, really likes to get
- 16:11 into the weeds about what the Bible says, and I believe that
- 16:13 Jesus said, "Make it simple, stupid."
- 16:15 He didn't say, "Stupid," because he loved you, but I say stupid.
- 16:18 You keep it simple.
- 16:19 It's because they eat poop.
- 16:21 Dinosaurs, guarantee they eat poop.
- 16:23 All the other hooves and cloven this and that, that was
- 16:25 maybe identifiers so that we didn't have to see them in the
- 16:28 act of eating the poo to know they were unclean, but it's
- 16:30 really about the poo.
- 16:32 Caleb: God called the Jewish people to be a light unto the
- 16:35 Gentiles to bring salvation to the world.
- 16:38 So, we were always the clean in God's plan.
- 16:41 By the blood of Yeshua, the Gentiles that are here, you
- 16:46 Mainers back here can be grafted into the commonwealth of Israel.
- 16:50 You all become honorary Jews, if you will.
- 16:53 Mike: Yes.
- 16:54 Quick question, I'm still allowed to eat lobster
- 16:56 though, right?
- 16:57 Caleb: I mean--
- 16:58 Joshua: Michael, do you eat lobster anyway?
- 17:00 Mike: No, I don't.
- 17:04 Ryan: Can I still eat panda?
- 17:06 Joshua: That's between you and the US government.
- 17:08 Ryan: Oh, okay.
- 17:09 Joshua: Do I think that Ryan would attempt to eat a panda?
- 17:11 Yes.
- 17:12 Would that panda actually eat Ryan instead?
- 17:15 Also yes.
- 17:16 Caleb: Ephesians 2:14 through 16 says, "For He," Yeshua, "is our
- 17:19 shalom, the One who made the two into one," that's Jews and
- 17:23 Gentiles, "and broke down the middle wall of separation.
- 17:26 Within His flesh He made powerless the hostility--the law
- 17:30 code of mitzvot contained in regulations.
- 17:33 He did this in order to create within Himself one new man from
- 17:37 the two groups, making shalom, and to reconcile both to God in
- 17:42 one body through the cross--by which He put the hostility
- 17:46 to death."
- 17:47 That is why we can all be a family together even though
- 17:50 we're not blood relations.
- 17:52 We're all part of the kingdom of heaven and one new man, right?
- 17:56 Joshua: That's why when Yeshua paid this price so that we could
- 17:59 become one, it was so groundbreaking.
- 18:00 We sit here today we're like, "Oh yeah, it's cool."
- 18:02 It's cool, but it was like...it was like insanely amazing.
- 18:06 Caleb: I mean we couldn't even eat with you guys back in the
- 18:08 biblical times or we would be unclean.
- 18:11 And so, now everybody's made clean together by the blood of
- 18:14 Yeshua and we'll all be supermen, the one new man, you
- 18:17 know, the perfect men just like Yeshua was the superman.
- 18:21 Mike: The question that seems to be being raised a lot in the US
- 18:26 or in the world today is what is a man?
- 18:32 And we have a lot of different opinions on what it is to be
- 18:36 a man.
- 18:37 Joshua: It really somehow today, the scariest thing you can be is
- 18:42 a man.
- 18:43 We hear the term toxic masculinity and how scary that
- 18:45 is because of all the things that it's brought
- 18:47 about negatively.
- 18:48 And so, the idea the enemy, I think, is used to prevent men
- 18:52 from standing in the position God had them to be by scaring
- 18:55 them off with this concepts of what they could be if they were
- 18:58 in this not right place.
- 19:00 Mike: How can we be men, how can we be supermen?
- 19:04 How can we be one man if we don't know what a man is?
- 19:08 God gave to me about a year ago this idea for integral men.
- 19:13 What if you got people together and you taught men things as
- 19:16 simple as shaking hands?
- 19:19 Nick Casucci: Oh, hey, Josh. Joshua: What's up, man?
- 19:20 Nick: Good game. Joshua: Okay.
- 19:22 Nick: I just wanted to show you I appreciate you and give
- 19:25 you a good, firm handshake.
- 19:27 Mike: How to prepare a meal, how to be a good husband, how to
- 19:31 read the Bible.
- 19:37 Nick: Hi, Caleb. I'm consuming the Word of God.
- 19:45 It's so good. It's so good.
- 19:48 Caleb: You do that.
- 19:50 Mike: How to be a son, how to be a servant of God and, yes, how
- 19:55 to go fishing.
- 19:57 Caleb: Well, I'm excited, Mike, that God gave you this mission
- 20:00 to teach men to be men.
- 20:01 Caleb: Our father never taught us the manly ways of life, you
- 20:05 know, all the hunting and the fishing, but he did teach us how
- 20:08 to fix a computer and we can film a movie for you, if you
- 20:11 want one.
- 20:13 Nick: Hey, Caleb, I just got that hard drive working again.
- 20:15 Caleb: Sweet.
- 20:17 Caleb: I've never gone fishing before in my life.
- 20:20 Can you teach me how to be a real man and fish?
- 20:22 Joshua: Well, I think Dara is also an incredible fisherwoman
- 20:25 too, so--
- 20:26 Dara: Yes, I think I can give you a few tips too.
- 20:28 Joshua: Takes a man and a woman.
- 20:29 Caleb: I want a fish. I wanna catch some food.
- 20:31 Mike: So, finger on? Caleb: Finger on.
- 20:32 Mike: Bail back. Caleb: Bail back.
- 20:34 Mike: Bail back, and you're gonna use your raw tip as
- 20:38 your--the point, where you want it to go.
- 20:40 So, you're gonna go back and wherever you let go or wherever
- 20:43 you want to point to, you're gonna let go.
- 20:46 There you go.
- 20:48 Caleb: I got it, okay. Now we just spinning spin?
- 20:50 Mike: And then you just start reeling.
- 20:52 Caleb: Come on little guys. Dara: So, we're gonna go out.
- 20:55 Ryan: Dara, my wife, showed me and Israel how to fish.
- 20:59 Israel: Yeah, let me go ahead and say that's way better than I
- 21:01 could have done.
- 21:02 Ryan: We couldn't do it on set, but I usually catch fish
- 21:04 with my bare hands, but I didn't.
- 21:06 I didn't want to.
- 21:07 It gets wild. I have to take my shirt off.
- 21:10 Ryan: Watch your head, Dimitri.
- 21:11 I'm gonna come and hit that bridge.
- 21:14 Joshua: This is such a Ryan thing to do.
- 21:16 Ryan: Well, I'm gonna hit that bridge and walk out.
- 21:18 Joshua: Wahh!
- 21:21 ...
- 21:24 Ryan: I had a perfect cast.
- 21:25 It was going right to the bridge.
- 21:27 It was about a mile, two miles, three miles away.
- 21:29 It was gonna reach it, but unfortunately--
- 21:32 Ryan: Where did it go? Dara: In the trees?
- 21:34 Joshua: Not in the tree.
- 21:38 Ryan: It was--the wind took it.
- 21:40 Joshua: We finally found something Ryan is not good at.
- 21:44 Dara: I guess I gotta teach him a little bit more.
- 21:49 Caleb: Ephesians 2:17 through 19, "And He [Yeshua]
- 21:52 came and proclaimed shalom [peace]
- 21:54 to you who were far away and shalom to those who were near--
- 21:58 for through Him, we both have access to the Father by the same
- 22:01 Ruach [Holy Spirit].
- 22:03 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but
- 22:06 you are fellow citizens with God's people and members of
- 22:09 God's household."
- 22:12 Caleb: Wow, look at that.
- 22:18 Joshua: It's a little prettier than Cowtown.
- 22:22 Joshua: At the end of a 4,000 foot granite runway into the
- 22:25 sea, you'll find Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse standing
- 22:28 proud like Maine's very own brick lighthouse champion.
- 22:31 It was constructed using 1.2 million pounds of quarry granite
- 22:35 imported from three separate dimensions assembled by a secret
- 22:39 society of lobster cultists and aligned with the stars to open a
- 22:42 portal to the secret lobster dimension of the giant lobster.
- 22:47 Caleb: Josh, Josh, what are you talking about?
- 22:51 Joshua: Honestly, like the real facts are super boring.
- 22:54 I figured it needed just like a little, you know,
- 22:56 je ne sais quoi.
- 22:57 Caleb: Can you just stick with the script, please?
- 23:01 Joshua: Built in 1902, this sturdy little beacon has been
- 23:04 guiding ships safely into Rockland Harbor ever since.
- 23:07 It stands as both a working lighthouse and a historic site.
- 23:11 Israel: Are we almost there?
- 23:13 Yeah, right.
- 23:16 Caleb: Wow, what a view.
- 23:20 Mike: After nine years and $500,000 way back then, I
- 23:26 realized it wasn't tall enough.
- 23:28 It wasn't big enough, so they had to make it 4 feet higher.
- 23:30 Joshua: That's crazy.
- 23:32 That happens a lot though.
- 23:33 The original plans or what you think should take place seems
- 23:35 easy on paper and then it's an arduous task to complete, but
- 23:39 it's worth doing.
- 23:40 Caleb: Well, it's like God's original plans for mankind.
- 23:44 God the Father made us to be his children.
- 23:47 And so, even though the first Adam lost dominion over all this
- 23:50 beautiful earth and Satan became the god of this world, the last
- 23:55 Adam came and he lived a sinless life.
- 23:58 He became a human born of a woman, and he died a perfect
- 24:02 life, sacrificing for all of us so that we could have a way to
- 24:07 become rulers of this world again, to have that dominion
- 24:10 given back to us.
- 24:11 And that is the most awesome part of being the one new man:
- 24:14 being one again with our heavenly Father.
- 24:17 Caleb: Yeshua Jesus didn't just light the way, he is the way.
- 24:21 He is that beacon of light that shines through us.
- 24:25 It's not our own light.
- 24:27 We can reach the world as one light, one body, one new man.
- 24:33 Caleb: Let's check out the lighthouse from the very end.
- 24:35 Israel: That is not a bad idea.
- 24:37 Caleb: Let's finish the race, finish the path.
- 24:40 Israel: Finish the race. I like that.
- 24:44 Caleb: 1 Corinthians 15:45-48, "So it is written: "The first
- 24:49 Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
- 24:53 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and
- 24:56 after that, the spiritual.
- 24:58 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is
- 25:01 of heaven;
- 25:03 as was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and
- 25:05 as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven."

- 25:25 Israel: You know, that was a very intimate time there at the
- 25:27 memorial with Mike there and, you know, we're both ex-military
- 25:31 and it does change your life in a lot of different ways and I
- 25:34 felt his heart and I thought it was a very moving time.
- 25:40 Israel: Hey.
- 25:42 Caleb: This is beautiful.
- 25:43 Mike: It is.
- 25:44 You know, guys, the final lesson of integral men is to serve one
- 25:52 another and to be willing to die for someone else.
- 25:58 And I always think that a man is someone who stands between the
- 26:02 enemy and what's important to him.
- 26:05 And these men and women stood between the enemy and what's
- 26:09 important to 'em.
- 26:12 Israel: Well, that makes me think of John 15:13 in the
- 26:16 Bible, which you guys probably already know, "Greater love has
- 26:19 no one than this, he who lays his life down for one's friend."
- 26:24 In the army, these men, and any branch of service of the
- 26:27 military, men and women are called to lay down their life.
- 26:31 The universal sign for defeat across the entire world is for
- 26:37 the enemy to lay down his weapon, get on his knees, lift
- 26:42 up his hands like this...and surrender completely and totally
- 26:46 to his enemy.
- 26:48 God, my friends, changes this universal sign of defeat to when
- 26:53 you get on your knees and you raise your hands and look up to
- 26:56 God and you say, "God, I surrender my life.
- 27:00 I give my life to you.
- 27:03 You have won complete and total victory over every single one of
- 27:08 your enemies without firing a shot."
- 27:12 Caleb: At the cross, Yeshua surrendered unto death.
- 27:15 Yet in doing so, he defeated it.
- 27:18 And now as one new man, we lay down our lives, our pride, and
- 27:23 our past, and step into the victory that he has already won.
- 27:28 Israel: Surrender yourselves to God and be part of his army in
- 27:32 Jesus's name.
