  9. 0:46fall, Sharerathon on American Family Radio.
  10. 0:52Good evening, everyone. Welcome to this day three of the fall 2024
  11. 1:11Sharerathon edition of the Hamilton Corner here on American
  12. 1:15Family Radio and let me be among the first to thank you.
  13. 1:19man this is amazing what God has done. I'll wait as I'm pretty sure some others are going to come in
  14. 1:25soon and want to share the numbers but it is remarkable. It's remarkable what God continues to do.
  15. 1:31Thank you to each and every one of you who have used your resources, your hard-earned resources
  16. 1:39to support the work that God is doing through AFR and as I've said numerous times and I will
  17. 1:43will say it here now, that work includes you.
  18. 1:46I want you to see yourself, frankly, as God sees you
  19. 1:51as a part of this work.
  20. 1:52This is not something that we're doing separate
  21. 1:55and apart from you when you hear my voice on the airwaves.
  22. 1:59I know the Lord would want you to recognize
  23. 2:02that you are a part of allowing this to transpire,
  24. 2:04allowing this to happen.
  25. 2:06It is amazingly, amazingly, wonderful to see,
  26. 2:10something that provokes rejoicing,
  27. 2:12and also humbling and sobering.
  28. 2:15Every time I see what God does through you,
  29. 2:18it reminds me that there's work to be done.
  30. 2:21God doesn't allow these types of resources
  31. 2:23to be made available simply so that we can just glad hand
  32. 2:26and kiki about this or that, but it is a reminder
  33. 2:29that there is work to be done.
  34. 2:31Thank you, thank you, thank you for investing
  35. 2:35in the work of the Lord in our nation
  36. 2:37through this particular ministry.
  37. 2:39If you are listening to me now and you want to be a part
  38. 2:42You still have some time to do so.
  39. 2:44The number to call if you want to make your pledge,
  40. 2:47make your donation is 877-616-2396.
  41. 2:51That number again is 877-616-2396,
  42. 2:56or you can give securely online at afr.net.
  43. 3:04Now, I know, and right now, many of you are making
  44. 3:06your transition from your part-time jobs
  45. 3:08where you generate an income to your full-time jobs
  46. 3:10cultivate an outcome. I know some people think that I am just naturally optimistic. That is not the
  47. 3:17case. This is something that is a product of God working in me to view the life that we live,
  48. 3:26the life that I live from his perspective. And we have the opportunity in our day with all of
  49. 3:31the forces of wickedness mounting around us, darkness mounting around us. We have the opportunity
  50. 3:37in our day to be to our day what our ancestors in the faith were to their days.
  51. 3:41I think about the continuity of the history of the Lord's Church going,
  52. 3:46first of all, all the way through the Old Testament era up to the time of our Lord's incarnation,
  53. 3:53through the first century, the second, third, fourth century, on through the time to where
  54. 3:58Gutenberg was inspired to make sure people had access at low cost to the Word of God for themselves,
  55. 4:04to read it for themselves should never be lost on us.
  56. 4:08That level of innovation was pursued to make sure that every single person would have access
  57. 4:13to the Word of God.
  58. 4:14I think about people like John Wickliffe and others that gave their lives so that we can
  59. 4:18have vernacular scripture, namely to be able to navigate the Word of God in the English
  60. 4:21language.
  61. 4:23I think about the Septuagint translation, the Hebrew text into Greek, the dominant language
  62. 4:31at the time.
  63. 4:32I think about all of those aspects that have brought us to the place where we are right here
  64. 4:35today in our time to be the hands and feet of our Lord to be his ambassadors in this time.
  65. 4:41It is overwhelming to consider overwhelming to consider again the number to call to participate
  66. 4:48to get on the last leg of the share of thaun is eight seven seven six one six two three nine
  67. 4:54six that number again is eight seven seven six one six two three nine six or you can
  68. 4:59and give securely online by going to afr.net,
  69. 5:04that is afr.net.
  70. 5:06You know, I'm stirred, I moved,
  71. 5:09I wanna turn our attention right now to the Word of God,
  72. 5:12is something that is just amazing to have available to us.
  73. 5:18You know, it's very easy to try to describe
  74. 5:19what's happening now, merely in terms of natural occurrences,
  75. 5:24but the facts are that spiritual warfare is real.
  76. 5:28You know, the Apostle Paul communicates this to us in Ephesians chapter 6.
  77. 5:32I'm just going to read verses 10 to 13.
  78. 5:34The Word of God says this finally, finally, this is accumulation point,
  79. 5:39the culmination point of this Epistle.
  80. 5:41Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength,
  81. 5:44the Greek term there is kratos, the kratos of his might.
  82. 5:49Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
  83. 5:54But we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against the authorities,
  84. 5:58against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
  85. 6:06Therefore, take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
  86. 6:13having done all to stand firm.
  87. 6:16The Lord through the Apostle Paul communicates to us that spiritual warfare is real.
  88. 6:21spiritual warfare is real.
  89. 6:24But the Lord doesn't communicate that to us to provoke fear,
  90. 6:27trepidation, to make us apprehensive,
  91. 6:29to cause us to have a ringing of the hands.
  92. 6:32Simply put, the Lord wants us to be aware
  93. 6:34of what is transpiring.
  94. 6:36And then after making that pronouncement,
  95. 6:38he gets to verse 13 and says,
  96. 6:39therefore, just like I tell my children,
  97. 6:41when you see a therefore, what is it there for?
  98. 6:43This therefore is present in light of what proceeds,
  99. 6:45verse 13, verses 11 and 10 and the verse of proceeding.
  100. 6:50Therefore take up the whole armor of God.
  101. 6:54Now in verse 10 the Lord I re-told us to be strong in the Lord, not in ourselves, not in a fleshly notion of strength, be strong in the Lord and the power of His might.
  102. 7:02Put on the whole armor of God. The tense there in Greek is that the whole armor of God is put on once and for all, never to be withdrawn, never to be taken off.
  103. 7:11Put on the whole armor of God. Then Paul tells us why. You put on the whole armor of God. Why?
  104. 7:16so that you can be effective in thwarting, standing against the schemes of the enemy.
  105. 7:24Paul announces, yes, spiritual warfare is real. Verse 13, therefore, take up the armor, you know,
  106. 7:29the armor that you put on, never to take off, take up that armor so that you may be able to antihistamine
  107. 7:36as the Greek phrase there, to antihistamine the devil, the same concept that we have for, you know,
  108. 7:43You know, you get allergens.
  109. 7:44What do you do?
  110. 7:45You take antihistamines
  111. 7:46to resist the allergens capacity to penetrate.
  112. 7:48Now the allergens are around,
  113. 7:50they're floating around,
  114. 7:52they're present,
  115. 7:54but they don't have the capacity to intrude
  116. 7:57when you apply the antihistamine.
  117. 7:58That is what the scripture is saying to us there.
  118. 8:00So we don't have to be afraid of it.
  119. 8:03We are aware of it and we engage
  120. 8:05and it makes me remember, you know,
  121. 8:07when Elisha had a servant,
  122. 8:09you know, the Syrians sent their armies, you know,
  123. 8:11to go and try to, they were trying to take out Elisha.
  124. 8:16You know, when Elisha's servant came running early in the morning,
  125. 8:18my father, my father, they're coming, you know?
  126. 8:21They're coming, ah, they're happening, happen to please.
  127. 8:25Elisha said, Lord, open the young man's eyes,
  128. 8:27that he may say that they're more with us than are with them.
  129. 8:31And he prayed that, the Lord opened the young man's eyes,
  130. 8:33and he was able to see, he looked up, he said,
  131. 8:35the chariots and the horsemen of Israel.
  132. 8:37Heh heh heh heh heh.
  133. 8:40surrounding the army that thought that they were pursuing Elijah.
  134. 8:43Guys, what I'm saying is no matter what it looks like naturally,
  135. 8:49there is a reality that supersedes our natural perception.
  136. 8:52And because the strength that we have is not our own,
  137. 8:55it's not a humanistic self-willed strength,
  138. 8:57it is a potency that is available by the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
  139. 9:02And we are encouraged to envelop ourselves,
  140. 9:05to bind ourselves, if you will, to him to such a degree
  141. 9:10to where we are empowered by the strength of his might.
  142. 9:15And so when I look at a survey, what the Lord has done by his divine
  143. 9:19providence, by his grace, through his people who are tangible means and
  144. 9:26applications of his grace, I am heartened. You know, there was a time when I was in
  145. 9:31New Orleans and my wife would tell you, I told you guys before
  146. 9:34that the first person ever said anything to me about being on the radio was my
  147. 9:36wife. You know, when she said that was like, for what? I didn't eat it.
  148. 9:39do anything to me on the radio. I was content. I was content with serving the Lord where he had placed me.
  149. 9:46But the Lord saw, saw fit for me to make, to make some adjustments. And so,
  150. 9:53when the Lord does what he does, what he does, it is humbling, it is sobering, but it's also,
  151. 9:59all right, let's go. It's go time. It's go time. And so when I see what God is doing here and what
  152. 10:05what he has done and what he continues to do, I am humbled and I am so bird by it.
  153. 10:10So again, thank you to all of you who have utilized your hard earned resources.
  154. 10:14Look, I understand the way that things are currently, you know,
  155. 10:20groceries are very expensive.
  156. 10:22You know, you guys know I got six children eggs don't cost today what they were
  157. 10:27costing just about four years ago, you know?
  158. 10:30So we do not take it for granted.
  159. 10:32I personally do not take it for granted that you are willing to use your hard-earned funds,
  160. 10:36hard-earned resources to support this work.
  161. 10:42It is amazing to see.
  162. 10:44If there are many of you, others of you that want to get in on this now, you're welcome
  163. 10:47to do so.
  164. 10:48The number to call is 877-616-2396.
  165. 10:53That number again is 877-616-2396 or you can give securely online at aFR.net.
  166. 11:00is a fr dot net. Yes, I see what's happening around us. But more importantly, God knows what's
  167. 11:06going on. And he's ordained you and me for this time for his purposes, for his glory. He has not
  168. 11:13made us aware what's happening. You know, you know, I played the show from D.D. who called from Texas
  169. 11:18earlier this week. I've had conversations with others and people have conversations that how can
  170. 11:23we make headway? It's hard talking to people this time. Listen, take heart. God knows. God knows
  171. 11:28those are context that we're in.
  172. 11:29But those things that we encounter are not
  173. 11:31to cause us to become listful,
  174. 11:33or to cause us to become despondent,
  175. 11:35is for us to be sobered by it,
  176. 11:36and to recognize that we cannot persist in our own strength.
  177. 11:40It is to encourage perpetual volitional dependence upon him
  178. 11:46to where we live, John 15, 5.
  179. 11:48He is the vine.
  180. 11:49We are the branches.
  181. 11:51Apart from him, we can do nothing.
  182. 11:53The scripture there is not to say that we can't do tasks
  183. 11:57or execute things, but we cannot do anything
  184. 12:01of eternal import, because there's lots of creativity
  185. 12:05that abounds, but we can also be creative and rebellion.
  186. 12:08Man has capacity to obey the Lord or to use our God-given
  187. 12:12potential in rebellion, kind of like the Tower of Babel.
  188. 12:16But we don't wanna be involved in constructing
  189. 12:18unauthorized structures.
  190. 12:20We wanna be a part of building the kingdom of God.
  191. 12:24And that is how we wanna use our resources.
  192. 12:26We don't want to be among the ranks of those who are seduced by our environment, that we
  193. 12:30get lost in the sauce of America's abundance and our prosperity.
  194. 12:34And we misplaced the fact that, man, it is by God's grace we are who we are.
  195. 12:38It is by God's grace we live where we live.
  196. 12:40It is by God's grace that we have access to the resources we do have.
  197. 12:43We know we have people in our nation who suffer.
  198. 12:46People suffer in all different types, but I want to tell you poverty in America is not
  199. 12:49like poverty globally.
  200. 12:50You know, I say this in people chuckle every time I say it.
  201. 12:53is the only nation where oftentimes people can be in poverty, but we gain weight. That's
  202. 12:58not how it is in other places around the world. You know, in poverty, in other places around
  203. 13:02the world means that you have a statutorily established weight loss plan, you know, but
  204. 13:07that's not to say, well, our condition is this and their condition is that it's to recognize
  205. 13:11weight is by God's grace, we are what we are. And we have what we have and we have the access
  206. 13:16to do what we can do, what we should do, what we must do. How then shall we use that opportunity?
  207. 13:22How then shall we use those resources?
  208. 13:24How will we employ what God has placed in our hands?
  209. 13:28That is what we have the opportunity to respond to.
  210. 13:30And I'll say along with what Joshua has recorded in scripture
  211. 13:34saying, as for me and my house,
  212. 13:37and we're gonna serve the Lord.
  213. 13:38And if we gonna play, if we in the game,
  214. 13:42why not be in the game to win?
  215. 13:43You know, why hold anything in reserve?
  216. 13:46You know, assisting our church one time,
  217. 13:48said that I've been saying it ever since.
  218. 13:50Our sister, Dara, thank you Dara.
  219. 13:51Shout out to Dara.
  220. 13:52He said, listen, we're not contending for victory.
  221. 13:54We can tend from victory.
  222. 13:57Eternity is out.
  223. 13:58If eternal life is ours, then why would we have any hesitation?
  224. 14:01Why would we have any halting between two opinions?
  225. 14:04Why would we allow any suggestion other than full
  226. 14:08or investment and commitment to the Lord's purpose
  227. 14:11is what the time that He's given us?
  228. 14:14My dad was my first basketball coach.
  229. 14:15He used to tell us, hey, leave it on the court, man.
  230. 14:18Leave it on the court.
  231. 14:19Come home empty.
  232. 14:21And I'm saying to you that God would have us
  233. 14:23to the exact same thing, leave it on the playing field
  234. 14:26so that we come home empty.
  235. 14:28And on the other side of this,
  236. 14:30as we engage to be faithful in the here and now,
  237. 14:32our great hope and eternal expectation is to live
  238. 14:36in the manifested, glorious presence of our King,
  239. 14:39along with all of the saints throughout all of human history.
  240. 14:42Because that is our future, why not live now?
  241. 14:46Like that is our future.
  242. 14:48I'm telling you, it's a wonderful privilege
  243. 14:50to be in the Kingdom of God.
  244. 14:52It's a wonderful privilege.
  245. 14:53877-616-2396.
  246. 14:56Welcome back to Shareathon on American Family Radio.
  247. 15:07Call 877-616-2396 to pledge your support.
  248. 15:12That's 877-616-2396 or give online at aFR.net.
  249. 15:19It's fall Shareathon on American Family Radio.
  250. 15:24Welcome, welcome back to day three of the fall 2024 Shareathon
  251. 15:29edition of the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton
  252. 15:31the third year. Again, let me be among the first to thank each and every one of you for
  253. 15:35your generous contributions to the work of the Lord here through American Family Radio and
  254. 15:41all of the various iterations of ministry that happened through the American Family Association.
  255. 15:47I am in studio joined once again by a sister in the Lord who hosts our morning programming
  256. 15:56here, Jenna Ellis in the morning, and she was gracious enough to join me here to share with
  257. 16:00with you some of the other things that she is pursuing
  258. 16:04here through American Family Radio.
  259. 16:06Jenna, welcome to the show.
  260. 16:07Thanks so much.
  261. 16:08And I always appreciate joining you, Abe.
  262. 16:10And I was listening on my way in,
  263. 16:13and I got caught by the train, which was really funny,
  264. 16:16because that never happens when I come in at six
  265. 16:18in the morning, I was telling you,
  266. 16:19but I was listening to your opening on the way.
  267. 16:22And I just have to say, I love how much you just preach
  268. 16:27on your show.
  269. 16:27And so many times through the day,
  270. 16:30I mean, I wake up and I get to talk to all of our listeners
  271. 16:34in the morning and start the day off great,
  272. 16:35but you know, things happen during the day.
  273. 16:37And things that are unexpected or we get discouraged
  274. 16:40or things that just come up.
  275. 16:42And what I love about your time slot and your show
  276. 16:45is that it's always a reminder that as we are leaving
  277. 16:50the vocation that we make an income,
  278. 16:53we go home to cultivate an outcome.
  279. 16:55And even for someone like me who doesn't yet have children,
  280. 16:59It's a reminder that I'm also cultivating an outcome in myself and my faith, and God is
  281. 17:04cultivating an outcome in me.
  282. 17:06And so it's always really encouraging to hear the preaching solidly of God's word, especially
  283. 17:11putting on the full armor of God.
  284. 17:12Amen.
  285. 17:13Amen.
  286. 17:14Praise God for that.
  287. 17:15And I do that not only for external face to reality, but also to remind myself because
  288. 17:22this is not something I'm in it with every single one of us.
  289. 17:25You know, it's not something that I'm just like detached from
  290. 17:29because I'm involved in this.
  291. 17:31My wife will tell you, she was the first one
  292. 17:34to suggest I need to be on the radio.
  293. 17:35And when she said that to me, I was like,
  294. 17:36yeah, get out of here, I need to be on the radio.
  295. 17:38You know, but God knew better.
  296. 17:40It was telling me through my wife
  297. 17:42because this is just really who I am.
  298. 17:44I've been this exact same way before the Lord ever allowed me
  299. 17:47to have access to a microphone,
  300. 17:48simply because we should navigate life
  301. 17:51from our eternal vantage point
  302. 17:53and refuse to allow the temporal context that we're in
  303. 17:56to manipulate us and dissuade us
  304. 17:57and even in some contexts to seduce us away from
  305. 18:01the life that God would have us to live.
  306. 18:04And so I appreciate that encouragement
  307. 18:06and by God's grace will continue it.
  308. 18:07Amen to that.
  309. 18:08And by God's grace we will continue it.
  310. 18:10And one of the things that I've been encouraged by
  311. 18:13through the week of Sharethon here,
  312. 18:14and I always love when I get to come to Tupelo
  313. 18:16because since I'm in Florida, I'm remote.
  314. 18:18And so I get to talk to everybody here
  315. 18:21just remotely but seeing everybody is also such a blessing and encouragement.
  316. 18:24And a great reminder that the people that we have been well before we had microphones,
  317. 18:31we will also continue to be well after November 5th.
  318. 18:34And no matter if this country stays and hopefully returns and has a revival for the Judeo-Christian founding,
  319. 18:42or if we plunge off the cliff into paganism and cultural Marxism and all the rest,
  320. 18:49we will still continue teaching the truth of the gospel of Christ.
  321. 18:52And that's what people are supporting here
  322. 18:54and why I love being in this ministry,
  323. 18:56is that we are not dependent on politicians, politics.
  324. 18:59Kingdoms will rise and fall, but the word of the Lord will remain.
  325. 19:03Amen. Well said.
  326. 19:04Which brings me to my next question.
  327. 19:06One of the things that you are about to,
  328. 19:08I don't know if it's launched yet,
  329. 19:10or it's about to tomorrow.
  330. 19:11Tomorrow is the big day.
  331. 19:12Well, I will invite you to share exactly what it is
  332. 19:15because you're taking on another role in addition to the morning show,
  333. 19:18that as you already alluded to it launches tomorrow.
  334. 19:20So Jenna, what is launching tomorrow?
  335. 19:22Yes, I am so excited that we are doing
  336. 19:24an AFR exclusive weekly podcast,
  337. 19:27and it is titled On Demand with Jenna Ellis.
  338. 19:30And so while we get to cover the top trending stories,
  339. 19:33news of the day, things that people want to hear
  340. 19:36as they're driving into work,
  341. 19:37what's going on in the world,
  342. 19:39there are so many times that, as you know,
  343. 19:41one hour just is not enough time
  344. 19:43to do a deep dive sometimes into some topics.
  345. 19:46And I've had so many listeners say, you know, I wanted you to go further in this topic or
  346. 19:51explain this more.
  347. 19:52And so these are going to be the topics on demand.
  348. 19:55So on demand with Jenna Ellis and we're going to do a deep dive in an open ended podcast.
  349. 20:01It's a great streaming availability that we're not limited by radio bandwidth.
  350. 20:06So we could do 20 minutes, we could do two hours, whatever it is with some great guests
  351. 20:10on topics that are law, constitution, theology, culture, worldview, a lot of things.
  352. 20:16So for listeners, you've written in with some topics already, but if listeners have a question
  353. 20:21or something that they want to learn about more, you can write in Jenna at aFR.net and
  354. 20:27tell me what you'd like to hear on demand.
  355. 20:29Now, it launches tomorrow.
  356. 20:32How often can people expect episodes?
  357. 20:34Every Friday.
  358. 20:35So listen to Jenna Ellis in the morning during the weekdays, and then you'll have the longer
  359. 20:40format to stream over the weekend.
  360. 20:43you, you know, just can't get enough of AFR.
  361. 20:46I understand exactly what you say.
  362. 20:47Cause I often when you're saying an hour,
  363. 20:49sometimes it's not enough because I often say,
  364. 20:51I'm going to run out of time before I run out of show.
  365. 20:54Yes.
  366. 20:56Because I often have a lot to say Bobby is nodding in
  367. 20:59that formation because he gets a lot of the non time to show
  368. 21:04when the show is over.
  369. 21:05Oh, yes.
  370. 21:05And it was starting.
  371. 21:07And so it's that that is amazing.
  372. 21:09And so where can people find it?
  373. 21:11Obviously, I know what I want you to share with you.
  374. 21:13Yes, at AFR.net and you can go to our podcast link there at the top and then click on the
  375. 21:19icon for on demand with Jenna Ellis.
  376. 21:22And that first episode will drop tomorrow.
  377. 21:25All right.
  378. 21:26Excited.
  379. 21:27And then in addition to that, taking on some other responsibilities here as well.
  380. 21:31And so I guess formal title is Senior Policy Advisor.
  381. 21:35So getting to connect with a lot of our legislative and policy side and some of the things that
  382. 21:41And maybe our radio network doesn't realize that American Family Association is engaged
  383. 21:46in.
  384. 21:47I mean, there's so much that you do as well beyond being a wonderful preacher on the air.
  385. 21:51And I've experienced firsthand some of the great legal battles that you have been involved
  386. 21:57in and just so many things.
  387. 22:00And so it's so much more even than just talk radio, but I love being on air and I'm loving
  388. 22:06expanding the role here with the AFR family.
  389. 22:08phrase God now I do want to ask you about this and you alluded to it. I've
  390. 22:13described what we're facing here just electorally and people know if you listen
  391. 22:16to my show that I know for a fact politics is not going to save us I say it
  392. 22:20every day. However the Lord has called his body to execute his commission but
  393. 22:25sometimes I think people underestimate the significance of God also divinely
  394. 22:30ordained in the context where he's deposited members of his body to execute
  395. 22:34his commission. You know the Lord very well could have placed us in China in
  396. 22:38the 21st century, or I could have been a Christian in America in the 18th century.
  397. 22:43My ability to execute a great commission would have been severely different had I been 18th
  398. 22:48century Christian with this glorious melon in the Lord has given me versus where I am
  399. 22:51today.
  400. 22:52And so with all of that, there's a story here.
  401. 22:55This is a Christian post story, but I actually pulled the actual study from Dr. George Barna
  402. 22:59and he's recorded generally over a hundred million people who identify as some faith or
  403. 23:04another that are not going to participate in this election, but more particularly 32 million
  404. 23:10professing Christians who frequently attend worship services in the country have communicated
  405. 23:16that one out. When you hear communications like that, what is your initial reaction?
  406. 23:23Revive us again, oh Lord. So very timely in terms of our sureth on theme. But really this speaks to a
  407. 23:31culture that is like a self-entitled spoiled child, where we have known the blessings of liberty
  408. 23:42that we have taken it so for granted that we expect to persist in that lifestyle without
  409. 23:50taking responsibility for it for ourselves and actually growing up. So the time for America is to
  410. 23:56grow up, take responsibility, participate, and understand from whom those blessings flow.
  411. 24:02And you are absolutely right that no matter what day and age we find ourselves in, God
  412. 24:08has appointed each and every one of us who lives and breathes right now to this moment.
  413. 24:13We are called in as you often say, don't miss your moment.
  414. 24:16And I love that because that's true.
  415. 24:18It is no accident that we are here in this election if you are of voting age in 2024.
  416. 24:25I could have been born at a day and age as a woman as well,
  417. 24:28that I didn't have the ability to do as much
  418. 24:32for the Lord or do something different.
  419. 24:33And so we need to recognize that with the blessings of liberty,
  420. 24:38regardless of the society in which we find ourselves,
  421. 24:42scripture is replete with Christians
  422. 24:44who have persisted in the Great Commission
  423. 24:45in pagan societies, in Christian societies,
  424. 24:48we must persist in doing the things of the Lord
  425. 24:52in this day and age.
  426. 24:54Well said.
  427. 24:55And yeah, I mean, it is one of the things.
  428. 24:58It's not exclusive things.
  429. 24:59It's one of the things that God has made available for us
  430. 25:02to keep the highway for gospel proclamation
  431. 25:05and disciple making available.
  432. 25:06You know, I continue to remark that,
  433. 25:08I mean, I have friends who are believers in Canada,
  434. 25:10they cannot do this.
  435. 25:11They cannot open microphones on the airwaves in Canada
  436. 25:15and talk about the truth of God's word.
  437. 25:17They just cannot do it.
  438. 25:18And we have a say in whether or not we can do that
  439. 25:21and we'll continue to be able to do that.
  440. 25:23It's just one of the ways that we're able to do so.
  441. 25:25Just one.
  442. 25:26And again, even if the worst happens
  443. 25:29and we become a pagan cultural Marxist society,
  444. 25:32that doesn't change our mission as Christians.
  445. 25:35And so we are not dependent on party or politics
  446. 25:38or whatever happens after November 5th.
  447. 25:40We need to take seriously living the Christian life,
  448. 25:44which requires knowing the person of truth,
  449. 25:46which is Jesus Christ.
  450. 25:48And that's why supporting ministries like AFR so important,
  451. 25:51because we will be here teaching the truth each and every day.
  452. 25:55Amen, well said.
  453. 25:56And I've already started the process of thanking you guys
  454. 25:59for supporting the work of the ministry through
  455. 26:01American Family Radio and AFA.
  456. 26:03I know some of you still may want to participate.
  457. 26:05If you want to, you can.
  458. 26:06The number to call is 877-616-2396.
  459. 26:10That number again is 877-616-2396.
  460. 26:14Or if you want to give online, you can do so securely
  461. 26:16by going to AFR.net.
  462. 26:19And you can give right there online.
  463. 26:20We've now been joined in studio by American Family Radio's president and two of our vice
  464. 26:25presidents, Tim Wildman, president of American Family Radio, as well as Walker Wildman and
  465. 26:29Wesley Wildman and welcome fellows, which is a share of thaw tradition.
  466. 26:34Yes.
  467. 26:35You guys to come in at the latter part of the day just to help us wrap up today's affairs
  468. 26:40by God's grace.
  469. 26:41The Lord seems to still want the lights on.
  470. 26:43Yes.
  471. 26:44And the gang's all here.
  472. 26:45Yes.
  473. 26:46We're all here.
  474. 26:47Folks appreciate you calling in over the last three days.
  475. 26:50I'll have in Jonathan, you may have the totals pulled up,
  476. 26:54but over 18,000 families have joined us.
  477. 26:57Over $4 million raised over the past three days, so
  478. 27:01we couldn't do it without our listening audience.
  479. 27:03Absolutely.
  480. 27:04Amen.
  481. 27:05So is it on microphone?
  482. 27:06You're on.
  483. 27:07Loud and clear.
  484. 27:08Okay.
  485. 27:08Yeah, so yeah, we want to thank everybody.
  486. 27:10And you know, like you said, the phone lines are still available.
  487. 27:13But we got 27 more minutes.
  488. 27:16with him. You can give them online post-charathon if you want to at aFR.net,
  489. 27:20aFR.net, but our phone volunteers will exit in about half an hour. So if you
  490. 27:27want to call and make a pledge and be a generous as you can, what's that phone number?
  491. 27:32877 Walker. Let me have one. Just give me one. You know, it's like,
  492. 27:38how many times do we need the number? We got it here. I'll hold it for you, Wesley.
  493. 27:41Just so I can be a parlor. Yeah, that's right. That way. Can't just have one
  494. 27:45one month knows. Yeah. 87616-2396877-616-2396 or go to AFR.net. You know one of the things
  495. 27:56we've got coming up between now and the next share of thine which will be in the spring is
  496. 28:01our two new stations that we've purchased. We've got stations going on in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa,
  497. 28:09Alabama. That's pending approval from the FCC. And of course, we know that George Soros
  498. 28:18got his stations by really quick. And I know that no tree does the same. No, what?
  499. 28:27He went to McDonald's, I think, for his. I just knew it.
  500. 28:31All right. So you know, that's funny because you know, that's one of the things I do. I
  501. 28:35I do the FCC for our acquisitions.
  502. 28:37And you know, I've never seen them expedite any transactions
  503. 28:40for American family radio.
  504. 28:41I just want to throw that out there.
  505. 28:42Yeah, I'm not embarrassed.
  506. 28:44They've never blocked us.
  507. 28:45They'd just usually just formalities and.
  508. 28:47Right.
  509. 28:48Yeah.
  510. 28:49But we really don't have foreign investment either.
  511. 28:51But not necessarily subject to a national security.
  512. 28:54Then they expedite 200.
  513. 28:55There's over 200 signals.
  514. 28:57Over 200 signals.
  515. 28:58Yeah.
  516. 28:59For George Soros.
  517. 29:01For George Soros.
  518. 29:02You know, three of the election.
  519. 29:03and the law through FCC regulation requires
  520. 29:08any acquisition with foreign investment that exceeds 25%
  521. 29:11that 25% threshold, it automatically is subject
  522. 29:14to not being allowed first and foremost.
  523. 29:17And secondarily, any amount of foreign investment
  524. 29:20requires a national security review.
  525. 29:22Yes.
  526. 29:23Were they all in the same state?
  527. 29:24No, no.
  528. 29:26No, he got that bypassed by the FCC.
  529. 29:28Yes, that was the application.
  530. 29:30Waved 25% threshold, waved the national security review.
  531. 29:33and to be fair, they're saying they're postponing that, but they're allowing the license acquisition
  532. 29:40and the licenses to be acquired in the meantime, which is something that is never done.
  533. 29:45How do you undo that, right?
  534. 29:47Once it's already approved.
  535. 29:50But we'll be on the air.
  536. 29:51What I'm saying is between now and next spring, we'll be on the air with two, these people
  537. 29:57want to know.
  538. 29:58Yeah, I mean, Lord willing, we should be on the air by the end of the year, probably 60
  539. 30:01in the 90 days is average. Yeah, yeah. Before the end of the year. Yeah. So we are expanding
  540. 30:05our signal folks, our radio signal. But as everyone here listening knows technology is
  541. 30:12the latest and we can expand our app and our online presence at a fraction of the cost and
  542. 30:19make it available to people all around the world. So that's what we're doing as well. We're building
  543. 30:22out and making our app more reliable, easier to use for our users. And we have people listening
  544. 30:29in California, Illinois, New York, various states where we don't even have signals.
  545. 30:33Colorado family.
  546. 30:34Yeah, my dad loves the app.
  547. 30:37Exactly.
  548. 30:38And then we've had people call from Europe and other parts of the world.
  549. 30:44So the Lord is allowing us to use technology to reach people all around the world.
  550. 30:49And that's where I got the privilege to have Tony on this shareathon on Dr. Nurse Monster
  551. 30:55program to discuss how we're in the process of getting
  552. 30:59AFA content on the apps of prisoners,
  553. 31:04now they use apps.
  554. 31:05And so, we've been back and forth,
  555. 31:08there's some things there we're trying to get through,
  556. 31:10but we are in the process of doing that.
  557. 31:11We already own the signals in some of the places.
  558. 31:15I know Lexington, Kentucky is a place where it covers
  559. 31:18a female prison, I believe that is.
  560. 31:20And you've had some experience with this,
  561. 31:22that we are reaching into the unbeknownst to us,
  562. 31:26you know, all the prisoners right in.
  563. 31:28Yeah.
  564. 31:29I've had a few actually, and I actually had somebody write in
  565. 31:32and I sent it to Kevin or security,
  566. 31:34because I wasn't sure.
  567. 31:35And then he said, well, it's because our signals in there
  568. 31:38was like, oh, okay, it has a picture.
  569. 31:39So yeah.
  570. 31:40Yeah, there's a huge one in Texas.
  571. 31:41You know, there's a couple that we reach into.
  572. 31:44Yeah, but isn't that great?
  573. 31:45I mean, so we're also a prison ministry.
  574. 31:46That's what I've had the privilege of telling people
  575. 31:49to add to all the things we do intentionally,
  576. 31:53we, like I said, unbeknownst to us,
  577. 31:56we've got signals in a lot of these prisons.
  578. 31:59So, people are reaching out in there,
  579. 32:02writing into us, telling us the impact
  580. 32:04that we're having in their lives.
  581. 32:05And that's all because the people right now
  582. 32:08they're listening have taken the time.
  583. 32:10And I can't tell you how many people
  584. 32:12I've talked to over the years,
  585. 32:13they were a season in their life
  586. 32:16where they couldn't give financially,
  587. 32:18but they signed every petition.
  588. 32:21And they were handing out,
  589. 32:23they were printing stuff off there.
  590. 32:24They were taking our stand magazine and handing it out.
  591. 32:27And so for anybody, all those that are listening,
  592. 32:30even if for some reason, this particular Sharethon,
  593. 32:32you couldn't financially participate,
  594. 32:34I just wanna say on behalf of my primary job,

  626. 34:12I want to invite Wesley to talk about one of the major things
  627. 34:16that's happening.
  628. 34:17Lots of listeners and supporters over the years have asked
  629. 34:19for a form of biblical worldview training.
  630. 34:23And we've been working feverishly
  631. 34:25to put together what we have now is the activate curriculum.
  632. 34:28Would you just share with the listeners a little bit
  633. 34:30as to what is available
  634. 34:32and what they can expect through the activate curriculum?
  635. 34:34Yeah, so it is a world view training curriculum, of course.
  636. 34:38And so, but that said, there's a lot of assumptions
  637. 34:41and they're probably right.
  638. 34:42You know, you've got your covering,
  639. 34:44biblical topics, your covering issues that are core to AFA,
  640. 34:48but I just wanna fast forward to what you would expect
  641. 34:51from a biblical or a training course and just fast forward
  642. 34:56and say what makes it different?
  643. 34:57What makes it different is in addition to the video content
  644. 35:02and the booklet that you use to follow along,
  645. 35:06at each session, each video, it concludes
  646. 35:12with providing you multiple ways, as many as eight ways
  647. 35:16that you can apply that what you just learned
  648. 35:19in real life situations.
  649. 35:21And it was considered that there may be a few introverts.
  650. 35:26And we know there's different personalities
  651. 35:29and some people are more, I guess, vocal
  652. 35:32or more engaging than others,
  653. 35:33but we consider both introverts and extroverts
  654. 35:36and gave you multiple ways that you can apply
  655. 35:38what you just learn to real life, real life, everyday life.
  656. 35:43And so that's what makes Unix.
  657. 35:44So in order to move from one topic,
  658. 35:47and we cover the five core issues of AFA.
  659. 35:50In order to move from one core issue to the next,
  660. 35:53you have to complete the activate side of it.
  661. 35:56So you have to apply what you learned.
  662. 35:57And just here's just a couple examples.
  663. 35:59And yes, some of it's kind of, tentious,
  664. 36:02but one of the ways.
  665. 36:04That's right.
  666. 36:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
  667. 36:06One of it is when you, I believe it's the pro-life section.
  668. 36:09And this does, this is also the truth
  669. 36:11for a couple of other units,
  670. 36:12but you have to ask your pastor what his position
  671. 36:14and your church's position is on the life issue.
  672. 36:19And so that would be one of a couple different ways
  673. 36:22that we say, hey, do one of these things.
  674. 36:25And that's living.
  675. 36:25And then on the marriage and family side topic,
  676. 36:29I remember one of them being to have dinner
  677. 36:33with someone who has been married longer than you
  678. 36:36and older than you and just listen
  679. 36:40and take in some of their experiences,
  680. 36:43what they've learned, but that's putting yourself in a position
  681. 36:47that you wouldn't otherwise be challenged in.
  682. 36:50And so that's what it really sets activate apart.
  683. 36:53We covered the five core issues of AFA,
  684. 36:56and we covered them with great phenomenal professors,
  685. 36:59phenomenal content.
  686. 37:01We covered it also from an apologetic standpoint,
  687. 37:03like how we teach ourselves,
  688. 37:05how can we respond and engage on these issues out in public?
  689. 37:10But most importantly, what really sets this worldview training apart that AFA and AFS has created is a side that really challenges you to live out what you what you just learned.
  690. 37:20And how can people access the activate curriculum?
  691. 37:23Activate.afa.net. That's activate.afa.net. We have three different ways or three different subscriptions.
  692. 37:33you can purchase it in the small group or you can purchase it in the church group. And on the website it explains the variations of the differences there. So we hope to and we are currently planning on over the next four or five years each summer to have an activate summit here at the headquarters or around the headquarters of
  693. 37:57of AFA at Chippewa Mississippi.
  694. 37:59And each year we're gonna cover one of the core issues.
  695. 38:02And so we'll be able to dive much deeper
  696. 38:03at the activate summit than we would be able to do
  697. 38:06in the actual training course.
  698. 38:08So we've worked for that for many years
  699. 38:11and prayed about it.
  700. 38:11And that right there, I'll end with this.
  701. 38:14That right there, that right there, you like that?
  702. 38:17That right there is a project.
  703. 38:19Y'all, y'all listeners asked for and we gave.
  704. 38:24Yeah.
  705. 38:25Well, hey, let me give out the number
  706. 38:26And then I do want to comment on one of my one of my what was one of the most helpful
  707. 38:31Sessions for me okay 877 616 23 9 6 I know Jonathan our director of radios in the in the sheriff on central saying
  708. 38:40That's wrong when dad asked you for the number. I was just like in a spit it off
  709. 38:45Probably 300 times today. Yeah 8 7 7 6 1 6 2 3 9 6 to donate to a far go over to a far net but the life
  710. 38:54that you covered. That's an entire section of the activate curriculum. Scott Clusendorf is a gentleman that did that. He's a professor. But he answers all the arguments in favor of abortion. Yeah, all the objections. He answers them all point by point and breaks them all down in a very concise and simple manner for people to understand.
  711. 39:15what understand. Yeah. What are the five core issues? I don't know if you mentioned them.
  712. 39:18I did not. I didn't want to hog the radio. I didn't want to hog the mic. You got stewardship.
  713. 39:25That's one of them. You've got marriage and family. You got religious liberty. You got
  714. 39:30the life issue. And what was the fourth? What was the fifth one? Now you're putting me on
  715. 39:34the spot. Yeah, we have six core values, but we narrowed this down to five. Right. So
  716. 39:38you'll have to subscribe to find that's right. That's right.
  717. 39:43It's a marriage and family, religious liberty, stewardship,
  718. 39:49that's a marriage and family learning life.
  719. 39:51And there's a fifth one, walkers point it up.
  720. 39:54I've already mentioned that.
  721. 39:55Walkers point it up.
  722. 39:57I got you.
  723. 39:58Well, you're thinking of that though.
  724. 39:59I mean, this is so great.
  725. 40:00And the example that you just gave about going to your pastor
  726. 40:04and asking those questions,
  727. 40:05that is so important.
  728. 40:06Everyone should be doing that when they either join a church
  729. 40:11when they're anticipating,
  730. 40:12need to ask the essential questions of your leadership and know where do they stand on
  731. 40:16these issues.
  732. 40:17You don't want to wait a year into it and then suddenly you're going to wait.
  733. 40:20They've never preached this around life.
  734. 40:22What happened in sanctity of life Sunday or they say something that then you disagree with
  735. 40:25or if you've been at a church for a decade and you still don't know where they stand on
  736. 40:29certain issues.
  737. 40:30I mean, these are things that are so important so that you know that you are in a fellowship
  738. 40:35that is promoting the truth and has the right doctrine.
  739. 40:39I mean, that's so important on the life issue, but also all of theology.
  740. 40:44So what a great way to put that into practice.
  741. 40:47Yeah.
  742. 40:47Yeah.
  743. 40:48And so IFA at Antraquash and AFA has five core values, and we covered them a few
  744. 40:52minutes ago.
  745. 40:54Morale, we have six morality and evangelism and discipleship.
  746. 40:58But what we did here with activate with morality and evangelism and discipleship
  747. 41:01as we bundled it in underneath the topic.
  748. 41:03So we have four core topics covered by activate sanctity of life, marriage
  749. 41:07and family, religious liberty and stewardship.
  750. 41:09there is the ones you mentioned.
  751. 41:10Okay, so I didn't, that's one.
  752. 41:11You were right.
  753. 41:12We were just saying five when it was four.
  754. 41:14That's right.
  755. 41:15And I have two questions, one for Jen and one for Tim.
  756. 41:17First, Jen, I wanted to ask you,
  757. 41:19because it seems providential,
  758. 41:22that God allowed for Governor Ron DeSantis
  759. 41:25to still be in Florida, where you had the two storms
  760. 41:29that hit which, you know, that storms really resonate with me.
  761. 41:33You guys know my story, thrusted westward
  762. 41:36because of Hurricane Katrina,
  763. 41:37but with Hurricane Elaine and then this hurricane, Milton, that made landfall.
  764. 41:42What has been on the ground, your experience with a Governor's
  765. 41:45Santises leadership? And I would add in, seems like soon after he announced that
  766. 41:50the Florida Coast Guard, the state guard, then two other entities and even the
  767. 41:57Florida Department of Transportation were going to respond to the potential strike
  768. 42:02by the the port workers. The port strike just kind of evaporated.
  769. 42:07interesting. So what is that? Like on the ground there with
  770. 42:11governor, you know, his leadership has just been
  771. 42:14absolutely phenomenal. And he is somebody who does not care
  772. 42:18about attribution or attention or negative comments or media, he
  773. 42:23just gets things done. And I have been really privileged,
  774. 42:26especially having him almost two years ago, if you believe
  775. 42:29this now, a resident of Florida, working with his office more
  776. 42:33closely, you know, getting to know people in his office. And it
  777. 42:36It is just amazing to me to see how much foresight he has and somebody who works for him close
  778. 42:42to him told me, you know, he is the guy who sat down, read the entire Florida State Constitution
  779. 42:49and said, I want to know the provisions.
  780. 42:50I want to know my powers.
  781. 42:52I want to know the other powers and who I need to go to if it's not one of my powers.
  782. 42:56I can exercise and get this done.
  783. 42:57I mean, that is a leader and somebody who takes that leadership seriously and you have seen
  784. 43:03him martial those powers and execute them with such precision that even with Florida Amendment
  785. 43:09for which we should all be in Florida opposing and voting against that's the extreme amendment
  786. 43:15to the state constitution that would cement a so-called right to abortion in our state
  787. 43:20constitution.
  788. 43:21He has had like 17 different ways of attacking this and one of the great things that he prevailed
  789. 43:27in is having an impact statement that is now on the ballot that is convincing a lot of
  790. 43:32even pro-choice voters to oppose it because the impact says that likely taxpayers will
  791. 43:38end up responsible for a lot of the abortions in the state which even pro-choice voters do
  792. 43:44not want.
  793. 43:45And so that was something where even though it stayed on the ballot he'd just go, ah well
  794. 43:50I tried one way.
  795. 43:51And so what you're seeing with his response to the hurricane is somebody who genuinely cares
  796. 43:57about being a statesman and imagine if we had that type of leadership in every red state,
  797. 44:05how much more of an impact we would have with especially Christian leadership.
  798. 44:10And I love, I was on a phone call and I'll end with this.
  799. 44:13I was on a phone call with him with other faith leaders about amendment for and not only was
  800. 44:23he praying, you know, on the phone with, with everyone, but he specifically said as a part
  801. 44:29of opposing amendment for he said, we cannot, we can't underscore how important it is that
  802. 44:37every Christian in Florida has to pray. And he said, that is the number one way that we
  803. 44:42can impose this. I thought, what an amazing thing. Yeah. I have so much respect for him.
  804. 44:47That's amazing. Let me, I'll give the number one more time for those who still coming in
  805. 44:51late say, wait, Abe, don't close the gate yet. Well, I'm not closing the gate. The number
  806. 44:55to participate in Sharethon is 877-616-2396. The number again is 877-616-2396, or you can
  807. 45:04give securely online at aFR.net. Tim, I want to pass this question on to you because among
  808. 45:10us here at the desk, you have been a part of the most Sharethons here. When you see how
  809. 45:17how the Lord continues to move people to support this work,
  810. 45:22to support this ministry financially,
  811. 45:24how does that resonate with you having seen
  812. 45:26the ministry grow first from what your dad started
  813. 45:29and are you leading it now?
  814. 45:30And then seeing to where the Lord has brought
  815. 45:32the ministry to now, how does that impact you,
  816. 45:34seeing that over the years?
  817. 45:35And even this particular Sharethon.
  818. 45:37Well, I'm trying to think back to our first Sharethon,
  819. 45:40I think it was 1991.
  820. 45:42I know this one, we went on the air.
  821. 45:44I don't know if that's when we had our first Sharethon,
  822. 45:46it went over into 1992, but I want to say the first one was like $75,000 or something like that.
  823. 45:53Of course, we only had like one or two stations, you know, on the air at that time. And we're going
  824. 45:58to bump up against $4 million. Well, we're over $4 million pledged for this particular share
  825. 46:03of thorns. So the money's obviously grown. And the listenership has grown enormously because we're,
  826. 46:09you know, we have nearly 170 radio stations now. So it just, you know, to be able to
  827. 46:16able to reach out across America and now with our radio stations and now with the app. The
  828. 46:22app's been a game changer for us because now people like Jenna's dad can listen in Colorado
  829. 46:26where we don't even have a radio station. So we're able to accomplish our mission. Our mission
  830. 46:36is to equip and inform and we tell people about the Lord and the Bible and excuse me.
  831. 46:45by cutting in and out.
  832. 46:47You all, I think you speak up a little bit.
  833. 46:49OK, but anyway, so we're doing everything.
  834. 46:52You mentioned the five values.
  835. 46:54We're doing everything now with our microphone that we have
  836. 46:58to communicate to, especially to the Christian community
  837. 47:00all across America, how to be involved, how to be engaged,
  838. 47:04how to know what's going on, how to share your faith,
  839. 47:06how to stand for the word of God, all those things.
  840. 47:09It's a comprehensive biblical worldview
  841. 47:11that we communicate 24-7 here at American Family Radio
  842. 47:15And we're just excited that we're able to have the funds to be able to do that.
  843. 47:20Yeah.
  844. 47:20It's one thing to have a vision.
  845. 47:22And it's another thing to, to have the means to do it.
  846. 47:26And so our listeners are continually every share time providing us with the means to carry out our mission.
  847. 47:32Amen.
  848. 47:32And you don't just communicate it.
  849. 47:34You also live it.
  850. 47:35And I have loved being part of AFA seeing the leadership here actually doing what they're communicating.
  851. 47:42and I have so much respect for this ministry for that reason too.
  852. 47:45Amen.
  853. 47:46For those today's issue listeners that are tuning in right now,
  854. 47:49is there any, can I use the word,
  855. 47:50polythera?
  856. 47:51You can.
  857. 47:52Yeah, that's a good word.
  858. 47:53Yes.
  859. 47:53It's a very common word that we use on today's issue.
  860. 47:58And we have a lot of fun with it.
  861. 47:59Bobby, I thought that was our word.
  862. 48:00Oh, no.
  863. 48:02Well, Abe's probably got his word.
  864. 48:04You got a word?
  865. 48:04Here to four.
  866. 48:05You got a word from the bombs plus today.
  867. 48:07Here to four.
  868. 48:08Here to four.
  869. 48:09Here to four is traditionally a today's issue.
  870. 48:12That's a Friday after.
  871. 48:13That's a fried drivet.
  872. 48:14Try to save that word.
  873. 48:15That's right.
  874. 48:16Try to save that word.
  875. 48:18We do have the beautiful thing,
  876. 48:20from one of the beautiful things for me personally
  877. 48:22is I'm driving home, or if I'm listening to my lunch break,
  878. 48:25is the plethora of different types of radio content
  879. 48:30that we offer.
  880. 48:32The addition just in the last year,
  881. 48:33Dr. Nurse Mom, Dr. Pekdas celebrated her one year
  882. 48:37on being on AF-4.
  883. 48:38Between that particular type of content from Jenna's
  884. 48:40So there you have a Bible teaching,
  885. 48:43then you finish with Abe in the afternoon,
  886. 48:44a little bit of hybrid of both.
  887. 48:46I mean, you just really get a really good saturation
  888. 48:50or plethora of Christian worldview content here
  889. 48:54on American Family Radio that covers all aspects.
  890. 48:56And it's archived so you can go back and listen to it.
  891. 49:00If you're not able to be at the radio,
  892. 49:02when you're one of your favorite shows at all,
  893. 49:04you can go back and listen to it later.
  894. 49:06At other program, we just added in the last month or two
  895. 49:09is Katie Faust with them before us organization podcast.
  896. 49:13Yes.
  897. 49:13Yeah.
  898. 49:14Well, no, she's on the weekend.
  899. 49:15Okay.
  900. 49:15Yeah.
  901. 49:16We started out with a podcast, but she's on Saturdays and Sundays.
  902. 49:19We re-aired on Sundays, but she's focusing on the right of children to have both their
  903. 49:23mom and their dad.
  904. 49:25And she just really holds in on that topic, which is an issue that we're facing today in
  905. 49:31our society.
  906. 49:32So yeah, tons of great content and a variety of different topics discussed on the radio.
  907. 49:38I have one listener, Merle is a frequent avid listener,
  908. 49:42is still campaigning for us to get a station
  909. 49:44for Trinidad and Tobago.
  910. 49:46Okay, all right.
  911. 49:47Or at least let the app get into Trinidad and Tobago.
  912. 49:49You guys were mentioning, I get notes from,
  913. 49:53we have listeners in China.
  914. 49:55One is a government employee listening under,
  915. 49:58sees through the app from all over the world,
  916. 50:01but she said, you better not sell your stations
  917. 50:03to George Soros.
  918. 50:05Don't worry about that.
  919. 50:06Don't worry about that.
  920. 50:07I'm putting all caps never.
  921. 50:09Yes, right, yes.
  922. 50:12You have to read it in that.
  923. 50:13In that.
  924. 50:14That's what I was thinking.
  925. 50:15I typed it when I'm thinking.
  926. 50:17That's wrong.
  927. 50:18Yeah.
  928. 50:19Let me speak to that for a second.
  929. 50:20I've mentioned before on different programs throughout
  930. 50:23Sheraton and that first time on this program, there's three
  931. 50:26reasons that I've concluded after traveling for 10 years and
  932. 50:30beaten over 16,000 of our financial supporters hand shake face
  933. 50:34to face three things I've concluded that the reason for the
  934. 50:37the advancement of AFA and the healthiness of it,
  935. 50:41is because one pop-all Don Wildman never owed no,
  936. 50:45never the prescription don't owe no many anything.
