and then we will get started. Could I request somebody to pray with a glass please? You can go ahead. Please go ahead Ganesha. Grecious and loving father we thank you for another wonderful morning. We thank you Lord as we come and avail ourselves to learn and to be used by you learn about your holiness because you said be holy because I'm holy. You are God and you're suffering and we come Lord at your feet this morning download from heaven in us father as we ascribe to you this morning to learn more of your fullness and also in part in our lives make it a part of our daily lifestyle and Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you. Okay good morning everyone. We're continuing in our study on holiness specifically talking about overcoming the flesh the world and the devil the practical side of it and if I'm not mistaken I think end of last class Abraham had a question and we said you can ask it next class. So Abraham is that right? Did you want to ask a question before you go forward? You were asking a lot towards the end of the class last time and like just what I was telling was that I normally share on Sundays in my group but anytime I see the move of God because all meetings are not the same. Some of the meetings you just know that God wants to do something and as a result of that you ask for prayer or we go in I mean we demand for the supernatural and after those meetings when I come back home that is where I begin to have this much more challenges my personal challenges that is why are you in ministry why can't you settle down why are you wasting your time you know all those kind of thoughts but it doesn't happen every time it only happens after a strong move of the holy spirit. So I just wanted to know because I've heard that if you engage the supernatural and you are not at that level there can be a back class so I just wanted to be sure that I should remain in my lane or I should be very built up before I do anything when I go to share or preach. Okay I think I understand your question. I hope I understood it correctly. Okay just okay two things two things see one is and if you take the example the old testament example of Elisha you know he he and I'm just using this as an example right so he had this wonderful ministry on Mount Karm where he you know he was a that the fire came down burned the sacrifice he and the prophets of Baal were exposed and he killed the prophets of Baal and the people said you know we will serve the Lord our God so it was a very powerful time but then right after that he went into a time of great discouragement simply because he got afraid and you know Jezebel said you know I'm going to kill Elijah the prophet I'm going to you know before the end of the day I'm going to take him out and so Elijah ran for his life and all of that so so I'm just using that as example where and I'm not saying it has to happen all the time but there are times when you know we have wonderful time of ministry and of course the devil doesn't like it and so there are going to be those thoughts of intimidation and all those kinds of things you know coming against our mind trying to discourage us so on so forth so that's one side of it so you know these are battles we have to fight we all have to fight in an exempt we're not exempt from the enemy trying to do things against us or trying to discourage us or keep us down yeah we all fight those battles you know and but that's why we have to be strong and we say no I reject these thoughts I know what God is calling me to do and I'm staying focused on it I'm going to press forward okay so that's one thing which is I'm saying yeah there is an enemy that's going to try to discourage all of us as we pursue the things God wants us to do of course the enemy doesn't want us to build the will of God for our lives that's one side of it the other side of it is we don't have to be afraid of backlash say what do you mean you know I'm trying to see how best to say this but you know in the early days of when when I was starting out I always used to hear I mean I used to hear people say this oh you go on a ministry time when you come back you're going to face a backlash but then I chose that that's not what I'm going to have I said the Bible tells me that nothing will by any means hurt me the Bible tells me yeah and first on fire 1819 that whoever is born of God keeps himself and that wicked one does not touch him so that is what I want to experience that I'm going to go minister go on missions do the things but I'm not going to suffer a backlash I mean I don't care if the enemy doesn't like what I'm doing he tries to you know retaliate or whatever I'm still covered I'm covered before I do the mission strip I'm covered during the mission strip and I'm covered after the mission strip the same way nothing has changed so if the enemy cannot touch me before if he cannot touch me during he's not going to touch me after right so that was my position and and honestly you know we've traveled so many trips and so many different things and then I don't if you ask me I have not necessarily felt oh this is a backlash and I have cannot do anything or I'm struggling or because I went on a mission strip I've not had any of those kinds of experiences because I just chose to say what does the word of God say I'll stay with the word of God you know so that's the other part so one part yeah we recognize the enemy is always you know is going to try to discourage all of us and you know try to keep us from moving forward in the will of God but on the other hand we also have been given weapons we've also been given the word to stand strong and if the enemy is trying something we are always stronger we're going to live victorious and overcome so that's how I would encourage you to approach that and don't expect the enemy to do it you know Job said the thing that I've greatly feared has come upon me so that's the thing you know if we fear or if fear is wrong expectation expectation on the bad thing faith is expectation towards God so when we fear then that's what you're going to get but then you choose to stand with the word and overcome it okay hope it helps okay thank you all right so today we're going to just try and finish up that first section on overcoming the flesh right we've been talking about this and you know so how do we practically overcome the flesh we said first is we must know that we are free from the power of sin okay know that truth you know knowing the truth is what's going to help us walk in the truth and experience that freedom so know the truth of what God has done for us in Christ secondly we said to overcome the flesh we must use the word of God in relation to that area of weakness or the area of temptation I'd use the word of God the word of God has been given to cleanse us to renew our minds it's given to us to as a weapon against the enemy so the word of God is very powerful and use the word in relation to the area of temptation the area of weakness you know so we were just talking about some examples you know if lying speaking on truth is an area of weakness then take the scriptures in relation to that and we've just mentioned a few and begin to use them if sexual immorality is an area of weakness where you know we feel that our sexual appetites are controlling us wrong sexual desires and so then that's where you take the scriptures and cleanse your mind with the word of God and when temptation comes that is when your own desires are trying to pull you that's when we speak we remind ourselves by speaking the word or putting our mind or our thoughts on those particular scripture passages and I've just listed some here a few of them not all of them but a few of them so for example I was going through 6 13 to 20 uh Paul writes and he teaches us they you know for this food is for the stomach stomach for the food so this is a legitimate legitimate thing yeah food is for the stomach stomach is for the food God created it but uh God will destroy both it and then that means one day all this will pass away the food and the stomach will no longer matter the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord and the Lord for the body so he's saying look there is sexuality but then there is sexual immorality and the body is not meant for immorality but the body is for the Lord and the Lord is for the body so this is so important your body is for the Lord and the Lord is for your body so when you feel the pull or the temptation of immoral sexual desires what must we do we need to tell ourselves the body is for the Lord the Lord is for the body so one of the things that I do is I say God I thank you I consecrate all my appetites all my sexual desires I consecrated to you and I just declare in the name of Jesus all my sexual desires all my sexual appetites are consecrated they are sanctified they are set apart and they are set holy for God and because the body with all of its sexual desires the body is the container of appetites and one of them is sexual appetite it's for the Lord and the Lord is for the body and he says you know God will raise up the God who raised up the Lord he's going to raise raise us up by his power that means our bodies are going to be resurrected to that end to that extent the Lord has committed himself to our bodies right to raising it up by his power and then he says in verse 15 and this is something to think about don't you know that your bodies he's talking about our physical bodies don't you know that your bodies are members of Christ and this is such a powerful thing it's a big thing he's saying he says your bodies he's talking about these physical bodies they are members or part of Christ you know now many times when we talk about being in Christ and being part of Christ we only think in terms of spiritual yeah spiritually I'm a part of that spiritual body of Christ spiritually I am one with Christ and I am in him and he is in me spiritually which is already true but Paul is going a step further and he's saying your physical body is part of Christ so how should I perceive my physical body I should not separate out my spirit and my physical body they're okay spiritually I'm one with Christ and physically I'm not no what is Paul saying he's saying your physical body is a part of Christ that means your physical body is belongs to Christ just as much as your spirit body your spiritual person belongs to Christ it means your whole being that's how he sums it up sums up verse 20 your whole being spirits whole and body belongs to Christ so your physical body it's also part of Christ so obvious question can I take what is part of Christ and put it you know into morality which is in making part of a prostitute no I can't do that certainly not I can't take what belongs to Christ that is you know my physical body and put it into a place of sin like this now it cannot it cannot be certainly not so how should we view the body with its appetites first it's for the Lord so you consecrate all your appetites all your desires all your affections all your passions so Lord my body is for you you are for my body and God is so committed to your body he's going to raise it up with this power secondly your body is a part of Christ so you look at your body it's a body you belong to Jesus you you're part of Christ so we don't disconnect our body from our spiritual identity yes spiritually we're connected with Christ but that includes our physical body so he says you know don't you know when you are joined to a harlot you become one body with the two he says become one flesh but he was joined to the Lord as one spirit so he's saying look we have been joined to the Lord we believers have been joined to the Lord spiritually but that spiritual union extends all the way to our physical bodies so I am in Christ but my being in Christ also means that my body becomes a part of Christ that's what he wants us to see and therefore I cannot give my body to do something wrong now think about some of the ideas that are floating floating around in the name of grace and some of the ideas that well I've heard people mention these where they say you see when you sin your body sins your spirit doesn't wait a minute they say you know in this part of this grace teaching and this is I'm not against grace we are all saved by grace but I'm just against misusing grace right saying things that are not true in the name of grace and one of the notions is that for a believer his body sins but it's not it's not a spiritual sin God doesn't see it because spiritually you're in Christ listen to what Paul is saying Paul is saying you're spiritually one with Christ and because you're spiritually one with Christ your body becomes part of Christ that means God has taken your whole spirit soul and body and made you part of Christ your whole being now belongs to Jesus you can't exclude your physical body from your relationship with Jesus now of course our relationship for Jesus is one spirit with him that means we are spiritually one with him of course but being spiritually one with them means it includes my body being a part of Christ that's what he's saying and so because your body is also part of Christ you can't just give your body over to sexual sin so he says flee sexual immorality flee get away run away from this see so there are some sins you stand and resist some sins you run away and resist some sins you resist by standing and saying no some sins you resist by running away and saying no and sexual sins you resist by running away you stand and resist the devil you run away to resist sexual sin why because you cannot trust your own flesh so it will bring us to another very important point in the next I will mention I'll mention it here I'll repeat it again don't when it comes to sexual sin don't trust yourself when it comes to sexual things don't put yourself in a place where you're going to be vulnerable don't even do it don't say oh no I'm very strong I will resist it there no when it comes to sexual sin you have to flee you're to run not stand and resist you to run and resist and run away from it remove your plate remove yourself from that place that's what flee means run away from it so example don't put yourself in a place where you have to be alone with somebody in the opposite sex don't put yourself in a place like that you know just some practical examples I mean if you come to our church office everything is made with glass and we purposely set it up that way because we want people to see you know I remember a long time ago I went to meet a pastor and he invited me to his office room and I was shocked because he's the entrance to his office room was a wooden door that means nobody can see who is inside the office was completely closed I mean it was air conditioned of course but nobody knows who's sitting inside and what's happening inside so I was I was like hmm I would never sit in an office like this because if a woman walks in and I shut the door nobody will know what's going on behind the door so that's you know that's one reason you know the Nebel tower office we purposely put everything glass everybody can see so you know if a lady comes to talk to me she comes in everybody knows they can see they have I'm sitting and having a conversation there is no you know no possible things okay see and go so that's just one example then sometimes if you know somebody says I want to talk to you personally I would say you can talk to me in public you talk to me when everybody's there where everybody's there yes I would never meet with a woman alone don't do that you see why because you can't trust yourself you can't trust your bless and what the bible tells us is to flee immorality in this in this is this is one area where you don't stand there to resist sexual sin you run away from sexual sin you don't even don't even give that an opportunity right so every sin a man does he comes outside the body but if you commit sexual sin you're sitting against your own body so that means you know example if you lie okay you know that you're lying might affect something else outside you know it may affect some relationship or effect it may affect your money or your whatever something external to you but sexual sin you're affecting your own self your own body so he says be careful further he says your body is the temple of the holy spirit in this explaining to us how holy we got to treat our body because your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and then he says your body is also purchased by God your body is God's now you were bought and when you bought your whole body spiritual and body was bought so in the context of sexual appetites this is a powerful passage to study and and let me just summarize what Paul is teaching us he's saying understand that your body is for the Lord that means everything in your body all your sexual appetites passions they are for God and God is for your body if God is for your body he is the Lord who sanctifies that means your body is sanctified then your body is a part of Christ because your spiritual union with him makes every every part of you one with him including your body therefore flee sexual sin run away don't stand there to resist run away from it because sexual sin affects your body it enslaves your body other things may affect things outside but this is a sin that affects your body you know there there are repercussions on your own body some other things to understand remember is your body is a dwelling place of the Holy Spirit your body has been purchased by God and therefore belongs to God so very powerful passage to you know to use when you're battling sexual sin or sexual temptations another parallel passage is 1st Thessalonians 4 he says you don't know that this is God's will for you that you should abstain and you should stay away don't even play with that abstain from sexual immorality immorality and you should know how to possess your own vessel and sanctification and honor that means your own vessel is your own body that you should know how to have charge have control over your own body keeping it in holiness that sanctification and in honor so hold your body in holiness and honor so you possess your own vessel nobody else can do this for you so says you abstain from sexual immorality and you hold your own body in holiness and honor so this you is your spirit your your inner person you hold your vessel and he says don't follow you know the Gentiles they are they are fulfilling the passions of their evil desires that is last but we are not like that and we don't go and defraud even our own brother in this matter and don't cheat your own brother so don't do that God did not call us to unclean us but in holiness how did God call us he's calling over us his holiness but if you reject this commandment we're actually rejecting what God desires for us and he's the one who's given us his holy spirit so this is again another passage you remind yourself these are two passes we can use and so there are many more but you can use you know just to remind yourself you constantly you meditate in it until you know it becomes of a desire to walk in holiness in this area so like this you know we must learn to use the scriptures in all many other areas where we will face temptation okay and you can put the scriptures together on these different areas number three is we walk in the spirit and crucify the flesh so while we are using the word of God to deal with the wrong desires of the flesh we also yield ourselves to the holy spirit it's a holy spirit i ask you to help me holy spirit i'm facing this please help me holy spirit i i can feel the pull of this evil desire please help me right so say i submit myself to the holy spirit holy spirit you're filming and you help me overcome the flesh overcome the desires i mean i'm drawing strength from the holy spirit by praying so we've talked about this earlier you know he says if by the spirit we put to death the deeds of the body right so the holy spirit will help us to put to death the deeds of the body and so we pray holy spirit help me holy spirit fill me and holy spirit help me put to death the deeds of the body and we have discussed from in 826 you know the spirit helps us in our weaknesses so he's willing to help us in our weaknesses and how will he how will he how will he do it it's going to be through intercession the prayer that he prays together with us so when it says prayer for us doesn't mean he's going to do it independently of us but he's doing it together with us because he's helping us in our weaknesses right so he takes us in this place of intercession in a place of prayer to help us overcome our weaknesses so we must learn to pray in the spirit and draw strength from the holy spirit you know whether you know sometimes the pull of the temptation the struggle may be uh so strong you may need to just get away and pray for several hours but if that's what it's going to take do it right we take some time to go out today and keeping the stay aside to battle against um the pull of this weakness in my flesh uh I want the holy spirit to help me and just go on and pray for one hour two hours three hours whatever you know just pray until you are strengthened with the help of the holy spirit to deal with that weakness of your flesh okay but the thing the beautiful thing is this when the holy spirit helps us put to death the deeds of the body yeah we can walk in victory and that that's that's a beautiful place to be right but it does require us engaging with the holy spirit in prayer to overcome the weakness of our flesh okay and then this is true this becomes true in our lives that be who our Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires lord I thank you that I who am Christ I crucify the flesh I put to death the flesh with its passions and desires right so understand this that sometimes crucifixion is not not sometimes but you know most of most of the time crucifying the flesh is not an easy thing it's a painful thing right but with the help of the holy spirit we can do it and Jesus said you know it's it's like this that um um it's like plucking out that part of you which is causing you to sin you said if your eye is causing this and pluck it out your hand is causing you to cut it off so that's how painful it may be in dealing with something that's causing you to sin but Jesus said that's what we need to do obviously it's not talking about you know physically plucking your eye or cutting your hand he's using it as a as an expression to tell us that look you have to deal with it with such severity cut it off pluck it out cast it away from you right so it requires that painful process but the holy spirit will give us the strength to do it and lastly well actually two two points here is make no provision for the flesh so I had mentioned this earlier you know it's the bible says put on the Lord Jesus Christ that means you walk as Christ walk that's what it means to put on be like Jesus imitate Him put Him on you know so when people see you they see Jesus so put on the Lord Jesus make no provision for the flesh to fulfill its lets make no provision for the flesh don't give your flesh any opportunity so this is so important and I was speaking of this a little earlier make no provision for the flesh don't trust your own flesh don't say well I will be in that place I know I'm going to get tempted but I think I can handle it never do it that's foolish it's better to stay away from the place of temptation especially in these matters so better to stay away from that don't even get into that place make no provision for your flesh and so you have to think of ways by which you make no provision for the flesh for example when I'm traveling alone now you know when I travel for ministry there are times we travel as a team and then there are times when you know if it's only a one day trip or two day trip then I don't need to take a team I could just go and come back now even when we travel as a team I I like to have my own room my room by myself simply because you know I like to rest when I want to rest and I like to pray when I want to pray and whatever I'm meditating I don't like to have conversation keep talking to people and I need to be quiet so I like to have my own space now that also means I have to be more careful so some of the things for instance when I'm traveling on ministry and I'm having my own room I don't turn on the television you know that there may be a television in the hotel room or whatever I don't even turn it on I don't need to and if I want if I want to keep up with the news I can read you know I can read BBC news on my phone I don't need to turn on the television because the moment you turn on television you can flip channels and you can end up in a channel you're not supposed to be watching all the things that you're not supposed to be seeing so I just don't even turn on the television I don't need to so you know or if anybody wants to meet me I would usually tell them you know to meet me in the lobby or somebody I don't don't let them unless it's somebody I really trust or one of you know a male member of our team okay yeah if we need to discuss yeah you can come to my room otherwise everybody else we'll meet outside nobody meets alone in my room unless I said like I said it's a male person of our team whom I trust and whom you know I need to meet personally otherwise it's everything in public you know so no opportunity nothing you know that everything is you're basically you're protecting yourself right so if I have to travel I'll never travel with a female member alone no it's going to be a team people all all around so we're all traveling together and these are things that you just do why it's it's because you are protecting yourself and you're protecting other people so you don't give any opportunity for the flesh and make no provision for the flesh so those are just some simple things you know and so depending on whatever you know areas where you you seem to be falling you need to make sure that there's no reason that you don't even give it an opportunity to fall make no provision for the flesh you need to be careful right and yeah so some thoughts on that here you know be careful the kind of company you keep and lastly one small point is get another believer to walk with you in this area depending on the help you need so if you seriously have a problem be accountable at least for a period of time with another believer who can hold you accountable so that you are following you know these instructions so to overcome the flesh just to sum up know the truth that you're free from the power of sin number two is to use the word of God in relation to area weakness or temptation about three depend on the Holy Spirit ask him for his strength be walk in the spirit and and pray the prayer is so important here in order to crucify the flesh number four always choose to be like Jesus and don't give any opportunity don't give any opportunity no room no space for the flesh and if needed get another believer to walk with you right we are here to help each other right here to support each other so you can get somebody's help for a season for a period of time until you're strong enough and you know you've gained mastery over that area of your life okay so any questions before we get into the next part which is overcoming the world let me pause here and see the any questions any questions everyone's with me so far okay yeah okay um debia you have a question go ahead yes pastor thank you uh i i was just thinking about the worst in james where it says friendship with the world as enmity to god in what context actually because as people we are in the world and it is not like we have to hate uh people around us or so what is the context of saying that friendship with the world is enmity towards god thank you yeah so you know like you said we are of course in the world we have to engage with the world practically uh we interact with every you know with people in the world all of that but what is he saying is this you know in james four he's saying he's contrasting friendship with god versus friendship with the world don't you know that if you're a friend of the world you're an enemy with god so he actually uses very strong words he says you're adulterous and adulterous is so what if you think about an adulterer and adulterous what has happened they have left their first love and become affectionate towards someone else that's an adulterer so james is telling us believers don't be adulterous don't be adulterous that means don't leave your first love and become in love with the world so so you know if you want to summarize what he's saying we keep our love for god supreme we keep our love for god untouched that's that's an area and a space nothing else interferes with while we meaningfully engage with the world you know we all have responsibilities we we have things to do and there are things in the world we can enjoy you know because first Timothy 6 and verse 17 it says god gives us richly all things to enjoy so god has given us good things in the in this world that we can enjoy right so you can enjoy good food you can enjoy beautiful places to see you can enjoy people you can enjoy good friendships with people you can enjoy good community so many good things out there in this world that we can enjoy but our enjoyment or enjoying the good things god has given to us will never take us away from our first love so we always there fix one of first love while we meaningfully engage with the world all to you know do what god wants us to do and glorify god sure thank you thank you buster okay thank you um elijah has a question what are the implications to sin against your own body so we we see this so we saw in first Corinthians uh chapter 6 right when Paul says he who commits sin sexual immorality he sins against his own body right this is in first Corinthians 6 and verse 18 and then we also seen first beta chapter 2 and i think it's verse 11 he says fleshly lust war against soul fleshly lust or against soul so we are looking at these descriptors first Corinthians 6 18 first speed uh to 11 let me just put this okay uh we also see another scripture for example in Proverbs 6 i think it's verse 20 let me just verify it Proverbs chapter 6 and verse 20 not verse 20 sorry Proverbs 6 32 Proverbs 6 verse 32 and i would you know we could also read the preceding verses so when we when when we're committing sexual immorality the bible is telling us we are sinning against our own body first Peter 2 11 says you know when we give into these fleshly lusts we are warring against our own soul Proverbs 6 30 actually the preceding verses says it's like taking fire into your own bosom it's like you are self-destructing or self-destroying you're destroying your own self so what can we say when a person is engaging in fleshly lusts specifically with sexual immorality it is self-destructive in many ways one is the body is becoming more and more enslaved the person may not understand it or realize it but he is becoming more and more a slave second his emotions the soul you know and you see this in first Peter 2 11 and Proverbs 6 32 his own emotions are being destroyed they're warring it's like a war being set up in his emotional world and it's becoming very destructive emotionally so he's becoming a slave body so there's a war being set on and his Proverbs 6 30 says he destroys his own soul his mind will emotions so both his body and his soul are being affected and that's like he's sinning against himself he's hurting himself doing wrong to himself is that okay let's go okay first off thank you very much okay so we have um christopher we'll take your question then yes question um i'm just trying to i'm just referring to the notes actually i mentioned about the illustration is arm wrestling i'm just going to explain that a bit um i mean just seem to me that you know i don't know how extreme it is but maybe you can explain that uh you know the what what you what do you mean by arm wrestling okay i guess a related question go ahead christ just a related question is about uh you know crucifer in the flesh and um uh uh you know i guess coming from uh from our more denominational church earlier you know what comes to mind is this you know sometimes extremes you know that people go to and they are even practiced by the by you know by those denominational churches where you know people are maybe in the form of repentance you know they have they are you know literally between themselves you know with the with whips to you know in repentance as well as you know sort of a punishment and kind of a deterrent to you know committing the same sin again so oh okay all right so this arm wrestling uh i usually use that illustration when i'm speaking to a live audience but i couldn't do that i mean it's difficult to do it here but okay just imagine in us so i needed another person to help me so imagine you know two people are doing arm wrestling right and imagine this is the sin that i'm overcome trying to fight against and this is me my inner person trying to fight against the sin and you know if there's armless you know we're trying to do an arm wrestling now imagine another arm comes over mine that's the arm of the holy spirit and so you know in my own self i might be losing you know sin maybe this designers might be overpowering me but when the holy spirit puts his hand around me i can overcome the sin that weakness i just use that illustration when i'm speaking to a live audience but it's difficult to do it while i'm alone so that was that was the point that basically when the holy spirit empowers us we can overcome whatever you're fighting against now about you know about that you know that self-flagellation type of self-discipline i think it's it's a misunderstanding of what the scriptures are teaching us right so when the scripture is talking about the flesh it's talking about the desires of the flesh and crucifying the flesh is crucifying the desire of the flesh and it doesn't mean that we punish the physical body in like manner you know where some of the some of they whip themselves or nail themselves or all do these strange things that is not what god is intending this is a spiritual struggle right with the help of the holy spirit and and the intent is not to do the physical things but to to deal with it by the holy spirit let me just mention a few scriptures in collusion chapter two paul addresses this in collusion chapter two verse 16 to 23 and it's a long passage but he collusions to 16 to 23 he talks about people who uh uh they you know they they they subject people to regulations don't touch don't taste don't handle and also he talks about verse 23 he talks about neglect of the body in other words you know there's this form of uh uh uh punishing the physical body but he says uh you know this is really of no value against the indulgence of the flesh meaning they are doing the self-imposed religion they're doing the neglect of the body they're punishing the physical body but that in itself is no of no value against the real battle we are trying to fight so uh so you know we must understand we're not talking about some kind of a physical punishment of the body we're talking about being empowered by the holy spirit to deal with the ungodly desires of the flesh okay one last question um from elijah and then we close up but today we'll continue this on venice day uh it uh elijah makes a comment it seems to me sin is too strong a spiritual force over the flesh even believer even in believers why it's so i think it's all because of the emphasis the emphasis that we are laying and perhaps or even in the church um we emphasize a lot on you know things of the natural instead of emphasizing things of the spirit and so you know we kind of tend to feed the natural instead of feeding the spirit um so whatever you feed becomes strong so if you're feeding the natural instead of feeding the spirit then the emphasis on this on the natural and the spirit actually is weak so um spiritually believers are weak uh and therefore the flesh seems to dominate but if you strengthen believers spiritually with the word of god but the things of holy spirit then believers will be strong to overcome the flesh right so if we can emphasize more and more on on the things of god the things of the spirit we will have believers who are strong spiritually and they will live victorious very well pastor thank you okay we'll close for today we'll pick this up on venice day i will talk about overcoming the world and how how you know how we can do that practically okay somebody please pray and dismiss us can i pray okay go ahead there we are thank you thank you father thank you for for this wonderful opportunity father lord that you have given us lot to learn what we face father lord we may not see it in the natural father but there

So, um, him, you know, he just built all the rappers or whatever. He built Boosie a lot. Yeah. So I was in Atlanta and I, you know, tapped in with all his people. You know, I just had them to like, hey, bro, I'm forfeited to make a song. But how was, how was, how and when you talk to, you talk to him? Yeah, he was like, bitch, send it to me. Did he even know who you was? No, he just, he do like, I've seen videos of him like riding in a car, playing my song really with G5, you know, think of my people.  Playing my, you know what I'm saying? So I know he know why. So I just had them to like, let me just go and break that. Wow. So, so the song, I want to go back. I'm going to take you back to the song with you and Boosie. How did y'all do it? What was it? How did y'all link with the King? No, you know, I'm still gonna be talking late for my he got wigs. Oh, um, it was really, it was J Prince that we were feeling on this. I was OK and Boosie was out there feeling on this. Miss Hoover. OK, I thought so. Boosie was talking to Miss Hoover about something. OK. But I know somehow I got a song out of it. OK, OK, that'll work. They were just like, pull up to the studio. You got a song out of it. They were like, pull up to the studio, boom, boom, on the nose. And what happened behind closed doors? Who said what? I just pull up and rock out. Like the label say, pull up, I pull up. Um, um, do you think the song be good with you and Boosie? Did you do what it? That's my biggest song I feel like I overdraw. Really?  That's the biggest song I dropped for right now. Really? And you feel like? Well, not deep, but probably one of the biggest songs that's hard. That's real hard, actually.  You know what I'm saying?


I have a Super Bowl matchup that I would really like to see. Okay. Because it would leave someone O in five. Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills. Wow. Battle of the Never One, O in four. Like it could happen. Kirk Cousins just don't do anything wrong. Kirk, go. Please. Super Bowl, Bills, Vikings. They had a good game last year. It's a great game actually. And it would just be funny. Fun fan base, no Super Bowl. Well, the other kids would celebrate. Great for my narrative, for sure. Yeah, but what if the Bills won? Yeah, if the Bills won, then the Bills won whatever next year. They let him have one again. I'll run it back. I'll run it back that this is it.


What's up everyone welcome into the front yard fantasy hour presented by FanDuel I'm your host Simon joined as always by the full spread of co-host today. Jim and Jay Joey, right and John Lugroff. Hello What's up boys? What up full spread? I like the way that you phrase that Simon Hmm guys and the reason we got that full spread is because no one wanted to sit out with our guests today We have one of our great friends and great analysts joining the show today Jeff bell aka for whom Jay bell tolls on Twitter he's the dynasty lead over at football guys and co-hosts of their college football show on Wednesday nights at 9 p.m And the creator the man over at devi royale. Jeff. Thank you so much for joining us today my friend. Jeff No, thank you so much for having me. No, you know, you guys are great friends and all of you I treasure the relationships with you guys and so when you guys reach out and say you want to come on our show Of course, I want to come on the show So it's been a minute, but I'm thrilled to be back and and thank you so much for having me And you're at the end of the season now and I think we're all kind of thankful to be at that point of the year But um, we've made it and if you're listening, thank you so much out there Absolutely True truly. Thank you so much for hanging out with us all year and thank you for tuning in today We brought Jeff here to play our og game poll perception before we get into that though We got some people in the chat ready to play Dave kluge over here saying i'm having serious fomo not being on this show. What's up, Dave? Welcome in and uh, we got my team, Dave We got born to laugh in here born to laugh has a question for us to start the show off saying unfortunately It's the best I have so start to that is not a good way to start a question in championship week I understand Desmond ridder Joshua dobs and jared stidham. So with dobs We just got the news that he is going to be the starter for the titans tonight jeff If you have to start two of these quarterbacks, which two are you starting? Probably huntley I don't I mean if I have to start two of these quarterbacks. I'm starting huntley and ridder I don't consider dobs or jared stidman at all. I think they they both have We haven't seen success out of any of either of them We don't know what to expect coming in but both of them have very difficult defensive matchups too So I would play huntley and ridder But god bless and good luck A minefield this week. I gotta say I did my rankings earlier today and I had like brock purdy at quarterback 15 I was like, here we are. We're brock purdy quarterback 15. Once you get past there. It's real dicey Brock purdy not just startable, but a good start in a lot of formats. That's that's wild Joey, are you agreeing with jeff here? Would it be time of huntley and desmond ridder of the two quarterbacks? Yeah, I do agree it'd be huntley and ridder I do have a question for born to laugh if this is a two quarterback league. Yeah huntley and ridder Although if it's a super flex league and you can substitute someone in for ridder I might do that if you've got a better option than like a running back or a Or a wide receiver. Maybe even a tight end like if you've got tyler higby and dallas goddard I would play tyler higby over desmond ridder for instance That's gross, but I don't What a gross Yeah, that's a really good point Caden in here. What's up caden? Welcome. Thanks for joining us and caden had a question for us once I know should I hesitate to start two cowboys players tonight knowing they probably won't play an entire game? They're 12 and a half point favorites. The titans don't need to win this game Um, it doesn't affect their play-offs standings and a lot of their players are not playing tonight So I understand where this narrative is coming from Um wanting to know if they should start cd and schultz the two cowboy players or cd and tyler conklin instead Jl, what would you be doing here? Yeah, I'm so I'm firing both of these cowboys up. I'm not I'm not too worried. It's totally reasonable concern Uh, I expect the cowboys to mainly play all their players unless they get up really big and then I can see them benching some players But I'm not going to try and be cute and predict that Jeff, what about you? Are you starting the two cowboys too? Are you pivoting to conklin to avoid starting two cowboys? No, I think jail's right. I think this is kind of big braining overthinking things a little bit. I always kind of Um, and when somebody's worried about team scoring too many points and getting up by too much Like that that's never a red flag for me to start a player on that team Absolutely, we got albert in here saying what's up. Hello, albert. Welcome and glad to have you here and dj. What's up dj? Welcome in We'll hit guys if you have fantasy football questions reminder We're going to be answering them throughout the show today in between rounds of our game of pole perception But a reminder right after this myself, joey and our friend jake parry are going to be live doing nothing But answering your questions for famous football office hours over on our youtube channel at front yard fantasy So make sure to come hang out with us then that starts at 6 0 5 p.m. Eastern time right after the end of this show Let's say one more of these questions in here kaden wanted to know richie james mike evans or isiah hajans Gross that you're even considering those two players next to mike evans, but I get it He's been disappointing j which way would you be rolling here? He's still pushing out mike evans or you pivoting to one of these two One of these two players. This is really really tough and that's sad. That's tough Between the two giants. I like hajans a little better. He's got some usage in the red zone I think he has three touchdowns in the last four games I'm still starting mike evans. Um He basically with hajans, you know, the the ceiling is capped. You're hoping for a touchdown and you know 40 catches or excuse me 40 catches before catches for 40 issue or something along those lines Mike evans as we saw even though it was called back by a holding call I mean he could make your day in one play and you know, he can get that long touchdown Um, the bucks are playing for their lives. So it's if they're gonna win. It's gonna have to go through mike evans There's I just I couldn't sit mike evans for either of these two guys I should be scratch raised make your play one day.  I would uh, I think isiah hajans is going to out squirm if it's a full ppr format But I this is one of those that if mike evans goes off for 40 points and you lose your fantasy championship because you started Isiah hajans instead of him you just couldn't live with yourself And I think that that's at the end of the day as much as you might think that maybe hajans gets him by a little bit It's just not one of those things that you can again live with yourself if you lose a championship because of that move Yeah, both hajans and james are going up against the colts secondary, which hasn't been terrible has not been terrible Mike evans is carolina panthers, which they have been pretty terrible. So Come on mike evans, please for the love of god finish the season strong do it for me I love some mike evans the only good news about mike evans disappointing is maybe his draft value will be fully suppressed next year And I don't believe he's lost it. I don't think he's lost the talent I think this has been a bad buck in your offense and maybe if they can get it together I'll be able to draft mike evans at a discount next season Guys, like I mentioned, we brought jeff here today to play poll perception before we get into that though A couple reminders first and foremost If you're not already following our friend jeff fix it right now. He's on twitter at for whom j bell tools It's right there below his handsome face and in the description of this video on youtube You can click it right there and uh go follow him hit that follow button and then head on back over here And make sure you like this video if you enjoy what we do here and subscribe to fan duel on youtube You can check them out on tiktok instagram twitter facebook They're at fan duel across all of these platforms And there's a whole team of content creators almost as good looking and charming as we are helping you guys win your fantasy championships A little bit more humble than we are though. I think yeah, probably at least a little bit more humble Guys we have some more people in here eddie's in here saying happy holidays. What's up? And damien here says look at all the pretty faces SSE 12 finalists dame overboard go take a damn dame for the fy fan 30 people left and dame overboard. It's time to bring back the dame overlord name I think right with her being one of only 30 people left standing in scott fishbowl mr. Scampers in here Hey everybody. What's up mr. Scampers? And jam juice. What's up fellas? What's up juice? Welcome in glad to have you here Because like I mentioned today, we are going to be playing our game poll perception and mark I see your question. Don't worry. We are going to get into it right after I explain the rules of this game We're going to try to answer each and every question Throughout the show today But the game poll perception Today is the game that tests our contestants Understanding and knowledge of the public perception of fantasy football players around the nfl How it's going to work is I'm going to propose a poll to one of our contestants jail I may ask you what percentage of people preferred side a in this poll you're going to give me a percentage 32 The other contestants are then going to be responsible for guessing whether the actual percentage is over or under The line that you set the closer you are to the actual number the more points you're going to get a max of 10 If you are exactly right one if you're 15 away and then nothing outside of that 15 range The other contestants you guys will get two points if you correctly pick the over under on the line the jail set We'll alternate who's going first through two full rounds of this and then we will go into our Last round where there is no more over under in that round Everyone's going to be guessing a number whoever's the closest gets five points in the contestant with the most points At the end of that round is our poll perception champion. There's one more twist in today's game We got four contestants We are playing in teams and the teams were randomly decided before the show started Jeff and joey are going to be on a team versus j and jl today So let me go ahead and get these rearrange here I'll sit here in the middle jeff and joey you guys are team a joey or j and jl you guys are team It's one of every team names the random drawing me begging jeff. Please pick me. Please pick me The not so random we're j l j a y l that's our team name That's awful jeff. What a terrible. I did not vote on that I didn't ask joey. I'm not creative at all. I couldn't name Should we be team team to noctua? Or yes, okay team to noctua. Is that how you say it? Is that how you say it? Close enough whatever it is. I think it's too much. I have zero clue what you guys are talking about I don't know that's how I was learned it when I was a kid It's under mexico. It's been buried under mexico city for like thousands of years I think but it's an early civilization that was either the Aztecs or the miams I believe but I saw pieces of it It's it's great when you're in mexico city just the middle of downtown There's ruins that are just like excavated like there's skyscrapers Um like cathedrals from the european colonization agent then right next door There's just like a hole with literal ruins that you wait in line for 30 minutes to walk It's a lot like san Antonio just in the middle of it. Yeah except the album of sucks The other missions are great though in san Antonio. The other missions are fantastic And they're not across the street from a Ripley's believe it or not museum Like the alamo is what's wrong with the Ripley's believe it or not? Those are great.  No, we're trying to make Ripley's We're trying to have the longest draft in in fantasy football histories We need to start that here this week. You need to start the weekend joey I need to follow up on my email to Ripley's actually Or no get us book a world record. That's always I emailed Because we had some more questions in here that I wanted to hit before we started our game Mark in here wanted to know juju smith shuster or michael pittman in the championship this week Jeff if you got a pick between these two players, who are you rolling with juju smith shuster I think pittman might get more volume, but if it's nick foals targets I mean, what are you looking at whereas juju? I mean juju could catch two touchdowns from homes even on limited value So we'll go juju What about you joey? Yep 100% I uh juju has a pretty good quarterback last I heard And michael pittman does not right now Jay, you agreeing with these two guys? Is it going to be a unanimous juju from all of us jlu as well? Yep You got the five-way juju mark. Hopefully that inspires some confidence to put hot in there Um grim fan in here had a question for some survivor league Two weeks left. They have two teams left jags and commanders wants to know what order they should play them in Grim if I'm you because the jags don't need to win this week And do need to win next week and there's still question marks about trevor lorenz and travis etn And the commanders play the cowboys next week, but the browns this week. I'm going commanders this week Jags next week, even though the jags have houston. Uh, what about you jail? What are you doing? I agree with you? Anybody flip flopping it the other way Sips that no The jaguars should lose to the texans this week and take away the number one pick from the texans if they're You know doug peterson if you're watching the show right now. I'm just telling you you should lose this game That's too, uh, get them works draft pick. He is watching the bears ahead of them in the draft It's division. You don't want the division rival to get the number one pick. I mean, he just leaves out games They don't get the number one pick That's hilarious guys. We're gonna get into our game jeff and joey. You guys are going to go first in this one Are you ready for your first poll? Yeah, yeah, here it is and reminder you guys work together Give me a percentage and then j and jl you guys want to guess Yeah, I'm each other Do we like talk it out talk it out live you're not going to give any information the other guys Here is your first poll What are the titans doing side a protecting willis side b? Actually prefer dobs full transparency. There was a side cms. It was show results But I've eliminated those from the percentages So this is the adjusted percentage of just the people who voted on the options And not the people who decided they couldn't make a decision and just wanted to see what other people said Jeff and joey, what percentage people chose side a protecting willis? So you waited the you took the c out and then waited side a inside b or exactly got you. Thank you Um, I mean, I think side a is winning this. Yes. I think so too Yes, I agree You want to be at like 65 70 is that what kind of where you're thinking 72 is the number of my head We could be yeah 72 sounds You want to go a little bit lower in 72 the 70? Yeah, 69 Oh, let's be okay. Nice That's 69. Sorry grandma. Just kidding. She's dead I've never heard somebody laugh after grandma's dead Still sorry Is that your final answer 69% guys? Yeah, there we go Jay and jl. Do you think the actual percentage of people that chose protecting willis is over or under their guess of 69% I think it's gonna be under I was thinking over So we've got to come out of the mess queen b Do you want to quit nah? All right, lay out the reasons. Why do you think it's over? I just There's not many people outside of idiots screaming on twitter that actually believe that They're going with a guy who has thrown like 17 total passes in their entire career Simon, uh, where was this pull from? Twitter I rest my case Fair enough So, uh, you want to go under? Let's do it. All right, if i'm wrong. I'm not gonna hear the end of it. Let's go under. Yeah, i'm right. You want This is how it works if you're wrong then jay gets a trump card, right? He gets a session arrow jay. Oh, exactly. Jump ball I'd like to point out that during jeff and i's questioning on this We agreed on everything. We were very cordial to each other and all jl. Jay did was fight.  I did it. I didn't it was random. It was random I couldn't pick between all of you guys. Are you kidding? A reminder for everyone watching I see some answers in the chat But this is your first time joining us throw your guesses in the chat play along with us We'll shout you out if you are close and if you're exactly right We'll throw a little party and if you're very wrong we'll mock the hell out of you But that's just that's just how it works. It's more fun to expect the same from you 100% guys the results of this poll the percentage of people that chose protecting willis as the answer was 56% So jeff and joey you guys were within 15 percentage points. So you're going to get one point Didn't get scum to their j and jl you guys get two points for correctly picking you over under Making the score after the first question two to one team jl two Team to knock the lawn or ten notes cheat lawn or ten octets to lawn is One point I don't know how to say techno chilies Dave glugy said are you guys talking about to knock the lawn? No We're not nope And we're talking about ten notes cheat lawn Ten old chitlins, I definitely spelled it right for sure. No need to fact check me on we're gonna offend a lot of demographics Guys so jl and j you guys have the early job guys here jeff. I did want to ask you I was shocked whenever I saw the josh dobbs move here. Do you believe that it is just protecting malik willis? Or what do you think the titans are doing here? Yeah, I think that's probably part of it. I I don't know that they believe in willis is probably part of it And I don't know that they can have a functional passing offense with willis And that's probably the biggest part of it. I think they're looking at next week I'm kind of surprised that they're not playing both like I was kind of thinking that you would rotate quarterbacks in this situation Just I think that this might be not that I'm an ever an advocate for that But I think this might be an area where you might consider that just because I think willis brings you stuff off the rpo game But I think they just don't have any functional passing offense with willis and so they're giving it dobs a chance It hasn't hit 100 yards in any of his three starts this season 100 passing yards So you're 100 right there jeff jail. You agree with jeff? Yeah, I do. I I was a bit surprised by this move. We talked about it earlier in the week And I was firmly on the other end of it that they wouldn't bench believe willis because This is an opportunity for him to get more actual game experience right a game that doesn't really matter for them Uh, but I I think jeff's reasoning makes a ton of sense. We see them making the move So that that seems to be the make make the most sense to me We had some guesses in the chat for this one scampers with 44 albert agreeing with you guys with 69 dj with 45 90 with 27 and dame with 36 So you guys weren't much further off in the rest of the chat dj and scamper is about the same Distance office you guys just the other direction So nice job in round one looks like it was a little bit of a tricky poll And we're gonna move on to round two now j in jail. This is your poll. You guys ready? Yes, do it Here we go Who starts week one of the 2023 season for the 49ers side a jimmy garoppolo side b Trey lance side c brock purdy. What percentage of people said side a jimmy garoppolo in this poll What you thinking j So you break them down 33 percent each I don't think there's many people that actually think it's going to be jimmy g He's still a free agent. Um as good as brock purdy is looked I would think most people think it's going to be trey lats of brock purdy Most reasonable people unless they win the super bowl with brock purdy Probably still go trey lance So yeah, I think brock purdy is the troll answer here, right? Like this is what twitter they're gonna come in They're gonna pick the funny answer if they can there's a big contingency on twitter. It's gonna do that I don't think jimmy g is the funny answer. I think brock big balls brock is the Funny answer here and trey lance. This is the he's the reasonable one So I want to go over 33 but not too much over. I'm thinking like 40 jimmy 40 to 44 Oh, sorry, we're guessing jimmy g. That's where I was on pace with with lance as well Is it your first time playing this game joe? I have never played this game before Glad you explain the rules. I just honestly, I forgot them now. It's all good. It's all good Uh, let's see. Yeah, so jimmy g. I think it's going to be less than 10. I think we're going to get like a I think I think 10 percent probably is a decent pay that way we Keep them from the under a little bit completely agree. I'd say 10. Let's go with 10 10 You guys locking in 10 percent 10 percent Okay, joey and jeff. Do you think the actual percentage is over or under Jay and jails guess of 10 percent on the jimmy garoppolo side It's a good number I think it's over joey. There was that story right where he got hurt where they the 49ers Said that they wanted to bring him back next year. So I think that's enough to nudge it It's just a 10 percent's a low percentage. It's we got a lot of real estate on the other side of that That's kind of so I agree over my in my head. It was 20 40 40 um But still people really People really think brockport. I mean come on like, I don't know We we had a brocks or a roll and it's like We've gotten more comments on that brock pretty short than anything people love them. So yeah, yeah But yeah, I agree with you on the cb You guys taking the over on their guess of 10 percent Yeah, okay, we've got some answers in the chat here grim fan with 33.3 percent mr. Scampers with 8 percent DJ with 72 and albert with 21 we got answers all over the place for this one The actual percentage people that said side a jimmy garoppolo in this poll was 8 percent wow Great for you guys about as good as it could have gone.  I think mr.  Scampers We have an update. I I asked google how to pronounce it. It's to notes teat lawn to notes teat lawn is how you say it right there So I was entirely wrong in every single way I like it on mr. Scampers said 10.  How do you pronounce zoom wrong? I was on a zoom Zoom zoom just kind of cutting out a short.  I guess joey's a dad so he checks out right there Kadoa was better anyways We got some people celebrating scampers in the chat dame with the cat emoji shutouts campers for getting that one Exactly right and jl and j you guys have taken a lead here after round one seven to one in this game But there's still plenty of game left Jeff and joey and it is time for your next poll. Are you guys ready? I'm terrible at this game. I'm glad you guys are getting along. You know, we may be arguing. We sure are winning This is it's fine. It's we're gonna come back to see the confidence I have Here we go. Pull number three for team confidence In a super flex dynasty league, which side do you prefer is what the poll asked side a The 2023 102 or side b dame and pierce plus the 2023 110 joey and jeff what percentage people chose side a the 102 in this poll So glad joey got this question So jeff might not no, I love dame and pierce like I was gonna I think people have soured on dame and pierce because I I've been lead to to kind of Knock that down because I everybody's raking him as a rb one and then he's not doing much but I'm not like 52 percent joey Versailles. Yeah, I think this draft class is really good and even as much as I love dame and pierce It might not be enough. So I I think I might agree with you on that I think a month ago this this poll is on side b completely. Yeah Um, but we are not a month ago. We are now past the holidays Um about ready to pop some champagne and things have changed in this world It's where it's like we want to be like 58 percent. You feel like or like Can we go 55? I liked your 52 and then you went a little bit higher. So let's go 55 sounds good to me We can drive even though the song says we can't there's another old man reference That's another show. That's not You guys rolling 55 for this one 55 percent on side a j and jl What percentage or do you think the actual percentage is over or under?  I'm listening We go for the queen b Let's do it. I'm in b. I'm in queen b. We got room. We got room. We got plenty of room here I don't think I explained the queen b at the beginning of this game So for anybody watching who is unaware what the queen b means Jl and j think that jeff and joey are exactly correct And if they are right, they will also get 10 points for their guess of queen b It is statistically improbable. It has never once been hit on the show But it is a glory play and they are going for it now We have some guesses in the chat for this one. Albert coming in with 63 percent Mr. Scampers with 88 percent dj coming in with 22 percent and grim fan with 43 percent The actual percentage of people that chose the 2023 102 over damian pierce and the 2023 110 was 79 percent I'm sorry. There are no points to go around and this was the chance It was worth it. We went for it. It's good But jeff and joey I think you guys hit on a lot of the points here people have soured on damian pierce And that this draft class is Incredibly hyped up like people are very excited for the players You got bijan robinson who people are talking about is like as high a caliber of a athlete coming into the nfl It's like a sequam barkley I've heard about like the best running back prospect sends barkley And then you've got the two quarterbacks who people have been hyping up for years and cj stroud and bry shung And then there's a couple other quarterbacks people are excited for as well Jeff you're the college football guy. Is this warranted the hype around the 102 pick this year? I actually think that class comes in a little bit disappointing from where we were in the pre-season Leading into the college year because a lot of the guys had disappointing years this year in college We had jackson smith and jigbo was thought to be one of the top receivers. He was hurt all season long Jordan adison didn't produce the way that he quite did the year before and kashan butte was another top receiver He opted in last night. He was originally supposed to come back So I think that it's I think probably where the hype is if people haven't adjusted to that and judging by the reaction That I get on twitter if I suggest that the hype is a little bit over hyped People have not adjusted to that so people might be a little bit high coming in on this class I think where we actually ended up but it is a very good class And that kind of makes sense maybe that the 110 may have been more valuable six months ago than it is right now Right, maybe those top couple picks still retain their value But the the depth of this class isn't as good as we thought it was going to be I think that's fair I think that there's people are kind of Getting tempted on on the back half of this class. I still like it. I mean, it's still a really good class Would you make good grade? When I would have rather have the 102 I think you can oh do a little bit more with the 102 then I'm just worried very concerned about damien pierce You know, we don't see the passing game production The Texans are not an offense I want to be buying in on right now and so that I'm just concerned on pierce and retaining value A day three running back. There's enough narratives about day three running backs that You know if the Texans double dip and take somebody in the fourth to fifth round that people like Then that's going to erase a lot of value out of damien pierce He just crushed joey soul by the way with all that talk. I know it's in my heart. It's fine Damon here first scampers gets the first poll right now dame with another exactly right answer at 79 Nice job dame. You guys are killing it in the chat today Undefeated is the f y f chat guys before we move on to our next you can take joey nice spot because we're getting drilled Scampers and dame. Yeah, they're winning right now. I think they're ahead of everybody At least we're funny. So Oh speak for yourself We had some questions in here. I wanted to answer before we got to our next round b bans wanted to know Devonta Smith or mike williams j I'll throw this one to you first So you going with devonta smith or mike williams this week? This one is kind of tough Devonta smith has been playing excellently Oh god, he's got the New Orleans Saints this week The vegas is expect both of these games vegas is just expecting mediocre games Oh, I think i'm gonna go i'm gonna go devonta smith Devonta smith jeff. What about you? Are you going devonta smith or mike williams? Yeah, devonta smith had a big week last week. I'll roll with devonta smith It looks like a g brown might be a little bit banged up coming into this game And so they might kind of rely on devonta smith a little bit more heavily Joey, are you agreeing with these two? I have them back to back on my rankings and I agree That's your favorite. That's your favorite Because I feel like people are going to my rankings and looking at them and then bringing those questions to the table Which I know is not true, but it's nice to tell myself that maybe when your mom asks a question or something, but We got dj in here saying I heard this offseason rumor involving the bears and raiders Devonta Adams in the ninth overall pick to the bears for the second overall pick Would you pull the trigger if you're both of these teams jay if you're these teams? Are you pulling that trigger? If i'm the raiders 100 to get that money off the books to devonta Adams They obviously seem like they're they're in a reset and the reason he came was for a car The bears that's a lot. I mean they're they're so much that they need now They it looks like they have their quarterback in the future in justin fields jeff. I know you're very happy about that Um, I don't think i'm doing that if i'm the bears I know, you know, we've seen these guys take big leaps when they go out and get them a wide receiver one you know with josh alan with staphon digs and we've seen it in a couple other places as well But it's not like the bears are just a wide receiver away um Raiders I would pull the trigger bears. I think they're they have a lot more to work with uh than To work on than just getting a wide receiver one Jeff, what about you? Are you uh, are you making this trade if you're either of these gms? No, I would not as that's holding that second pick What you're really hoping for is somebody falls in love with another quarterback in this class and you're able to trade it for a Quarterback package Usually we've seen that come in as multiple first round picks and then you know Second third those types of picks and those types of things that can really overhaul the franchise and I don't know that You know devonta adams, you know, certainly is devonta adams We know is good, but at the same time you're stepping out of probably a layer of blue chip Draft prospects if you stay at two versus going to nine, but also you're eliminating that potential quarterback package I'm with you I think they can get more for that second overall pick and Probably will if they're sitting there and they have that second overall pick with justin fields Someone's going to trade up for one of those quarterbacks that they love Grim fanning here at a question for us at hassan haskins or julius chestnut this week Joey if you got to start one of these two running backs Who are you starting? I I have haskins. He's ranked as my 34th running back this week. So like I'm not super high on I don't think the titans are gonna have a great game against dallas's great run defense tonight But I would start haskins over chestnut What about you john luke you agreeing with joey here? Yeah, it's haskins over chestnut, but I've If you're in the championship, I'd be trying to avoid haskins Yeah, that's uh, if you made it to the championship and have to start one of those two guys I'm sorry, but best of luck Best of luck. Let's hope it works out for you guys We're going to get into our next round here and everybody watching thank you for putting your questions And then we're going to keep on trying to answer them throughout the show today But a reminder one more time right after this joey and I will be live with our friend jake parry On our youtube channel at front yard fantasy for fantasy football office hours We're doing nothing but answering your questions for about an hour until 7 p.m Eastern time that would have been funny if I would have just said we're doing nothing I was waiting for that That would like you could have just ended it there. We're just doing nothing. I'm just going to stand there and breathe J and jl we are on to your second poll. Are you ready for this one? Yep You are hot on your first one. Let's see if you can continue it here 12 team dynasty super flex side a is mike white plus brock purdy plus the 2023 207 and the 2023 208 Side b is russell wilson plus jerry judy What percentage of people prefer side a in this poll? Wow All right, so mike white brock purdy. They can't have a ton of staying value I have to imagine even with russell wilson's woes He's gonna be more valuable than the mike white and brock purdy. They have all that money invested in russell wilson Jerry judy If we just split it up two by two the quarterbacks for the quarterback and the two draft picks for the For jerry judy for the wide receiver I'd rather have the side b of this j. What do you think? Yeah, I think it's pretty heavily on side b Um, and even though they're second round picks. They're both late second round picks You know, I think it's super flex, right still but even 207 and 208 for a guy like jerry judy People love to have the stack too. You know, they see a Denver stack with wilson and judy that might bump the numbers up I'm thinking like mid 70s on the b side. What do you think? I was close to there. I was thinking 35 Ish 35 to 40 30 You'll get a little higher a little bit. Let's go like 33 Let's do 33 33 on the mike white and brock purdy side team to notch teatlon Do you think the actual answer is over or under? team jl's guess of 33 percent Well, joey, I think it's over For several reasons one people are irrational about mike white for some unknown reason And option a I think people are inclined to think pick option a and a twitter poll and so that kind of lends a little bit I think people think it's a little bit evener when they see it on the voting And so that's kind of why I think over but what do you think? It's close. They Huh They put a good number up there You know, I think the wilson judy side is going to win That's just a coaching rumors of who might be coming in now to replace hack it has got people Somewhat excited about russ wilson. You saw jerry judy get his quarterbacks back today when that Was at barstool had a story come out about wilson having his own private office and jerry judy is like there's a reason He's got his own office So I think that's encouraging to see I don't think russ wilson's down to water. So yeah, I I think it's a little bit over but I definitely think side b won this Let's go over Are we to the way over way under yet? Not yet next round. We'll go way over. I mean, I wouldn't be doing it on this one. I was just curious So yeah, just over someone Over the guest was 33 Taking the over on that one. We got crazy guy in the chat saying yo the number one cowboys fan is into house Jay is here. All right They wash it What's up crazy guy? Welcome and glad to have you.  DJ was 16 percent scampers with 92 percent Dame with 59 percent and grim fan with 39 percent and albert coming in with 27 percent all over the place That scares me that daemon scampers are that high because they're generally pretty good at pole perception They've been on fire today. They've been killing it today. Well the percentage of people that chose the mic white side of this poll was 24% wow day in jail. You're within 10 percentage points So you just allow me to talk first and then you do the exact opposite of anything that I Can we try that for the next round? Yes Yeah, sometimes when I'm really wrong a lot very bad at this game Well, a lot of times whenever this happens to me where I just keep being wrong I will just go the opposite of what I think just to just to prove it the theory wrong Jeff I could score zero points today and I'm walking away with your friendship and that's what means Get out of here. I appreciate that. I feel the same way to be honest, you know But the rules are made up and the points don't really matter But as long as friendship can go through that's that's what we got What a coincidence that the losing team is saying all these really nice We're friends and we're also dominating. Yes and the points matter. You're right Whose turn is it anyway? It is now Jeff and joey's turn coming up before we get in there though We had some questions axe attack in here. So should I start malik davis? um Malik davis does he mean malik willis here? No, I mean Malik davis no tony pollard tonight. Um, I don't I don't think I'm starting malik davis. What about you guys? It's Outside of the most desperate situations. I mean, I'm gonna I'm gonna steal something from coop here Go throw him in a dfs lineup because there is a situation where malik davis could get a lot of carries tonight against tennessee They are a good run defense, but I would not be starting them in a championship week to try to win a championship but In like a showdown slate. Yeah throw them in there Jeff, what about you?   It's kind of I I kind of talked it over with yo dave kluge and some of my other friends about is this the potential option I just don't I can't get there to starting that in a lineup I feel you guys we're gonna jump into our next question now. I see some more of these questions in the chat We'll get to those in between rounds. Um making sure we're getting to those questions But it is time for the next round and guys there is another rule that we are implementing now Instead of just over under and queen b there are two more options available to you If you think your opponent's guess is very off You can guess the way over or the way under how this works Is it's a double or nothing mechanic in order for you to get points? The answer has to be 15 percentage points or more away from your opponent's guess If it is and you guess the way over a way under you're going to get double the points You're going to get four points But if it's only 14 percentage points over or under you're going to get zero So it has to hit that threshold and if it does you'll get double So keep that in mind whenever you're making your guesses and whenever you're choosing you're over under Joey and jeff you guys ready for your next question? I now i'm ready. I needed those few couple rounds to warm up I am warmed. I am ready to go I'm just I'm very pained. That's important Joey to do opposite of what I'm telling him to do Joey has pulled out a victory with an exactly right answer in the last round of this game before So don't count yourself out yet Joey Dynasty super flex. Who do you prefer side a trevor lorenz side b justin fields side c Justin herbert or side d to shan watson what percentage of people said trevor lorenz in this poll Simon the smile on your face as you're reading those options with the people that we have on stream With the lorenz and fields and shan watson in there. It was just uh, it was cute. It's a fun poll. It's a fun And a lot of players I like and one I don't Get some justin fields. I mean come on I personally think justin fields is we're gonna win this poll I think herbert dominates this poll. I feel like in dynasty super flex really person. Yeah, okay I don't know man. I just from where the dine's community has been on herbert traditionally. I think herbert pretty comfortably, but Okay, I don't know. I think fields is probably above lorenz. I think given production this year. Yeah But so I like to give 25 to when there's like four things and then just weight it out from there Well, we can give Watson zero yeah, so I like that. So we're at about 33 apiece for these guys now. So herbert Do you want to give herbert 40? Yeah, I think kind of in that area So maybe let's go 28 on trevor lorenz to give justin fields like 32 Sure, does that sound about right? Yeah, because I think they're all really close except for watson. I think watson's out of this mix Watson's zero there's nobody's picking watson this poll if you are you're crazy, but Yeah, 28 for me like 18 percent from lorenz, but really? Yeah, I just think that do we want to go a little bit lower than I was thinking around 18 Personally, I can't you guys talk about where is it as if I can't hear you? I don't know. I'm seeing 18 Which you can find with 23 Do the opposite of what I say joey 75 We'll go 23 bob 23 bob from team to note teet on J and jl Wappers, do you think the actual answer is over under way over or way under their guess of 23 on the trevor lorenz side 23 percent's pretty good. Yeah, I was I was hoping for that 18 because I would have went over I think I think you guys are discounting people giving up on to sean watson me still Even though we struggled this season still nobody picked on watson in this poll Again, it's twitter. So they are to sean watson for the home field favorites As I say, I think we need to I think we need to account for like three to five percent of just clicks from on twitter This twitter is going to pick every option regardless. I have like eight percent in my head for watson. I could see And so if you take that out or we're dealing with like 92 left over. So if we divide that evenly we're at about 30 I definitely think herbert's the winner. I do think between these three Trevor lorenz is in last I don't know about that. I'd say let's take the over on 23 23. I'm with you on the over. I think it's going to be high 20s um Because it herbert could be a little heavy too with what they went with and you know people could be off a field Just a little bit with the injuries that he's been dealing with Trevor's been super hot as well. So yeah, please go through the percentages for each one of this sign them. We're done So I was I was planning on it. So we got 23 from jeff and joey and we've got the over From jl and j here. We have some guesses in the chat scampers with 33 dj with eight percent dame with 27 percent and grim 47 40 Well the actual percentage of people that chose trevor lorenz in this poll was 25 percent still close jeff and joey you guys are going to get five points for being within there Nice guess we're going to get you up to six points team jl You guys are going to earn two points for correctly picking you over under there, but they're catching up on you gained some ground right there Thanks for bringing me down jeff. Thanks for bringing me down those two Thanks for not going to where my mind was Justin herbert did win this poll jeff and by a comfortable margin. You were right 52 for justin herbert Trevor lorenz wasn't second with 25 percent followed by justin fields at 19 Percent and then to sean watson at four percent. So jl when you said three to five percent you were nailed it exactly right for to sean watson and uh Jake i think you the nail on the head with the trevor lorenz first justin fields here It's what have you done for me recently if this would have been asked five weeks ago I bet justin fields is ahead of trevor lorenz. This was asked this week So trevor lorenz just slightly had a justin fields. Yeah, maybe team team outlook might might just tip it in trevor lorenz's favor I'm not sure the jags are so hot right now. There's more points and that's justin fields, but that's just me I'm with you jeff. I'm starting justin fields over trevor lorenz everywhere But uh, I get I get why people would vote that way the score is 12 to 6 now before we get into our next poll We had a question in here from mark mark want to know should I start prescott or fields? So jeff we were just talking about fields. Are you starting fields or prescott this week? Fields has really struggled the last couple weeks coming back from that injury. They haven't been running him I think that they're they're just trying to get through the end of the season and not running him to Not get him more hurt. And so I probably lean prescott again I just think they could really pour it on pretty quickly on tennessee in this game tonight What about you jay? Which way are you rolling with these two quarterbacks? Yeah, I'm with jeff and also You know people are concerned about the dowels players getting You know bench in the second half. Well in order to do that They're gonna have to be up pretty comfortably and in order to do that There's gonna have to be some offense. So even if it is only a half or three quarters, then Should get some pretty good production out of them I always love when we I just love when we big brain it and we're worried about a team scoring too many points It's just cracks me up every time and then we get like a 10 to 7 I'm gonna go I'm actually gonna be on the other side is I'm gonna go fields and lean fields here going against detroit I think he'll be able to pass. We'll be able to pass just fine Both these matchups are solid for these guys, but I'm gonna lean fields Joey, what about you?  Um, I do have fields ranked a spot higher than press cut Um, like every quarterback against detroit this year. I know fields have struggled the last few weeks the rushing You don't need to rush against detroit and you can't rush against detroit because they are run defense is great Except for last week when they were But no, I think fields can be fine and um, I I'm not like jeff said like I love when we big brain it You know, I I think dak press scott can easily and the cobwebs can have 28 points by halftime tonight After that, I don't know how much more they put up and hopefully those are four passing touchdowns that I do my math right I did awesome Or defensive touchdowns. It might just be exactly defensive or running back. So I I would slightly lean fields here You're in a good picture now jeff. Yeah, you're in a good spot DJ in here wanted some help picking out his running backs and flex for this week says he's got Jacobs, kenneth walker and acres in right now But also has latavius murray deonta foreman and rashad white available to start jeff, would you be changing it up? Would you sub out jacob's kenneth walker or acres for rashad white deonta foreman or latavius murray? No, I've ranked those first three guys earlier I'm I am worried about jacob's one the 49ers matchup But two there's some rumors that they want to play the younger players a little bit and You would think if josh jacob's is not part of the future that they would play It's a mere white a little bit more and so that would be a concern, but at at this point I don't know. I just don't see where you can bench jacob's and live with that if he goes for 125 yards and two touchdowns I'm with you. I'm with you Jalen j we are going to get into your last poll here before the final round. Are you guys ready? If you got the lead, let's see if you can grow it or if jeff and joey are going to make a little bit of a Come back. We can blow it That's a good rhyme jail. Here's your last question Who would you rather have it quarterback to win right now? So if your team needs to win right now side a tom brady or side b dak prescott J and jl what percentage people said they would rather have tom brady to win right now Do we I'm guessing that this context wasn't given But do we have any indication whether this is nfl or fantasy that they're talking about win what like when a fantasy championship would have All that was said in the question is who would you rather have a quarterback to it says to win a game right now? So actually I did leave some those two words out of probably nfl. That leans more towards nfl. Yeah, okay In that case It doesn't change anything. Well, I guess I guess it slightly changes it on tom brady Yeah, i'll say give maybe a little more to brady with the the real nfl game 27 it's popping in my mind I feel like it's a little low You want to go 35 So like let's do 33 Let's go 33. We already did a 33. Sure. Yep. I'm feeling and I think that 33 percent Yeah Let's go 30. Let's go 30 All right 33 lock it in now right Lock it in 33 jail Overrode you at the last second 30 over a minute. Thanks Joey and jeff do you think the actual percentage people that chose tom brady as the quarterback? They would rather have to win a game right now is over or under their guess of 33 percent Well, joe, you know the rules a little bit better than I do So I think the important question right now is what do we need to guess to actually win this game? We can win this in the last round. Um, what we need to do right now is get this question right Um, you know, I don't think we need a queen be it right now the way they say 33 for tom brady. Yeah You feel like it's higher or lower than that. I think that it's I think it's a good guess. It's a good guess My gut tells me To win a game more people would pick tom brady just because there's that narrative that that prescott can't win games And you know, it's tom brady. It's the goat. So that's where my gut lands in this But it's also I know the audience is fantasy based So that kind of swings it a little bit more toward prescott direction But do you feel that tom brady won this poll? I do not think that tom brady won. Okay Because 48 percent would be if we did way over that's where we'd have to be So that would be pretty much tom brady almost having to win this poll. So that's his way over all or nothing Yeah, it's all or nothing or zero Okay So I don't think it's going to be we really just kind of want to bang one down the fairway here Just to kind of be a play for the last round, right? So yeah, do you just want to go slightly over? Yeah, probably yeah slightly over fairway Taking the over in this one you wouldn't keep it in play he was locking it in with the over Yeah, I think it's gonna be like 35 Is what I'm thinking like I think it's a really good guess on y'all's on your own they have Well, we had some guesses in the chat dame with 18 scampers with 21 dj with 95 And albert with 45 so some answers again all over the place ranging from 18 to 95 The actual percentage of people that chose tom brady over dak prescott in this poll was 17 percent wow day in jail that was 16 percentage points away meaning zero points for you Under would have hit right there. So the score is going to stay the same going into our final round dame shout out dame one percentage point away right there Now see joey's the bucks fan and so I didn't want to come out here and He's looked awful like he's the thing is that he's won games in the end but Oh man, I don't want to get started on the bucks Well, the score is going to be 12 to 6 here and guys for this last round Each team is going to have to have one person write down the answer to this final poll jeff since you're a guest You're going to be responsible for doing it for your team and then jay since you're on top next to jeff Jail are you cool j doing it? I saw your point Jay you're doing it for your team. So i'm going to show this final poll You guys write down the percentage that you think chose side a whoever is the closest is going to get the points Jeff and joey you got to get it exactly right but get it exactly right and you will be our poll perception champion We love to talk it through or we just on our own here I mean you can talk through if you want but it's going to give information to the other team Whatever you want to do I also have text messaging but unless we talk bad stuff That's true. Well, here's your final poll Do you squeeze toothpaste from the middle or the bottom of the tube side a is middle side b is bottom What percentage of people chose middle in this poll jail since you're not since you're not playing You're not guessing while these guys are coming up with their guesses. I just I know you feel strongly about this topic I don't feel strongly tim feels strongly about my choices in life Because I don't squeeze from the bottom. I just squeeze like a monster until until it's almost empty and then I And then I roll it up Yeah, who doesn't do that like I don't know like you're really squeezing from the It just you just squeezed the tube until you have to hadn't until you have to adjust So there are so many other decisions in life that that can help you out and that is not one of them I had my father uses a binder clip to keep the tube world all the way up to the point Where the toothpaste is every single day.  Yep. Oh, that's a pungent cheese. You've got it It does and it doesn't it depends on the type of cheese you get If you live in long enough Jeff and jay, let me know when you guys have your answers around. I'm good to go you guys got it Okay, let's go ahead and reveal your answers. What do you guys got? 75 from j And what does that say 13? Which side was that for jeff um, whatever dame overboard pick 13 for that's Okay Following dame on that one not a bad strategy. We had some guesses in the chat grand with 0.2 percent I was sick 12 percent. Oh, I maybe I misunderstood the question But then I saw her put 13 and so I said, yeah, let's get smart That's perfect dj 41 dame with 13 percent Scampers with 69 and scampers also saying jail is correct on this topic The percentage of people that say they squeeze the toothpaste from the middle of the tube is 66 percent Jay and jay l you are going to be today's poll perception champion and jay l it looks like and jeff It looks like a public reason you guys on how to use toothpaste Jeff i want to thank you so much for taking the time to come and hang out with us today We really appreciate it and as always it was an absolute blast my friend. Thank you guys I appreciate it so much and so thankful and anytime we can spend together and i'm always happy for it So thank you for the invitation and thank you for being here Of course guys, if you're not already following our friend jeff go and follow him on twitter right now at 400 j Bell tolls truly one of the best follows one of the most knowledgeable people in the game He's putting that out there on twitter for you every day. I love what dame just said in the chat Wow a lot of super wrong people out there. I don't know. I'm on the same wavelength So that's kind of why I look so you do squeeze from the bottom I don't know how I squeeze i'm like jl. I just squeeze the tube like I don't know. Yeah, that's what I mean You squeeze in the middle and you know once it gets to the end then you start to roll the bottom I feel like people want to say they squeeze from the bottom because I feel like that's the way you're supposed to do it So when you're answering a public poll they would be like, well, that's the right How are you like what you want?  What are you doing with your friends in the play j In you combined a flaccid toothpaste to see I learned a lot Because I always squeeze my toothpaste on the top and I never get anything out of it So you're squeezing it back into the tube I mean raw or fresh that comes in the hard plastic tube where you just push the button at the top and it comes out Like cheese whiz. Um, that's the only kind of toothpaste I use I'm gonna imagine joey just every single toothpaste to be gets he tries to open from the other way like Feeling it dipping it in there. He thinks that's a drain I like my toothpaste to run the water real when it's all done, you know, I think a pomade right dip my toothbrush in the toothpaste Guys Everybody who joined us today.
