Hey, Rollo, what's happening, man? Look here, I want to ask you a question. Uh, does that look like Wild Parsley to you? You mean a marijuana? That's enough for everybody. Rollo. 30. Jesus accepted. So it's true. I saw the clip, went back and watched the interview. And this man has actually stated that he would like to see the church, his church in particular, sell or take part in growing weed. Now, we'll go ahead and look at that. We'll come back to it and we'll discuss how obviously it's ungodly. Obviously it's wrong, but we need to discuss what else is going on here. I'm asking people who don't go to church. And a lot of churches are just recycling people from other churches. That's not who I'm after.  You know, I'm at their place for sure. And here's, no, no, no, really is new birth is the largest land owning black church in America. And so my position to my deacons is why aren't we not raising cannabis? I'll be able to bring in black males. They're able to do it legally. I'm teaching them farming. I'm helping them to enhance the ecosystem. This is the kind of conversation. So if the guy, black boy in bank here said they growing weed at the church, where do I join? Yes. I don't need no pamphlet for him. He coming in. He coming in. That's the group that I'm going after. Now, he did this interview with a lady, Rashaan Ali. As a matter of fact, I went ahead and posted a link to the full video. So you all can go and look at that for yourself. I said before that Jamal Bryan is, in my opinion, the worst black pastor in America. Now I could have been wrong. I could have been off. There could have been someone that was actually number one who I don't know what we didn't think of or maybe Jamal is somewhere around number three, four, five, but he's in the top 10, top 20 at the very least he's in the discussion. And when you are like him, you're always going to produce something to give evidence evidence of what I said.  He is not qualified. As a matter of fact, let's just go ahead and pull up the qualifications biblically of a pastor. The Bible says, well, as Paul says in 1 Timothy chapter three, he says, this is a trustworthy saying. If anyone aspires to the office of an overseer or pastor, he desires a noble task. Therefore, an overseer must be above reproach. Can I ask you guys a question? Do you think that Jamal Bryan is above reproach? This is just his opinion. I don't think so. I do not think so. And we'll give some evidence to that in just a second, but let's continue reading. Must be above reproach. The husband of one wife sober minded. Now let's go back to the husband of one wife. While it does refer to a husband having one wife at a time, it also means that you can't have a wife and a side chick on the side or a couple. It also means that you can't date around and sleep around and you yourself also be rumored to have had folks get an abortion and so forth. I think that's also kind of in play here, but let's continue. He must be sober minded. I don't think we'd say that about him. Self-controlled. Well, if you're sleeping around, you are certainly not self-controlled, but even more than that, self-controlled when it comes to your impulses and the things that you like, the things that you promote. So I think there's a strike there as well. He says, respectable. Uh-oh. I wouldn't call him respectable. Now this is just me and obviously being respectable is subjective. That's someone else's opinion, but it's going to be hard for people. I take it back. I take it back. I take it back. I was going to say it's going to be hard for the world to respect you when you advocate things like this. But no, I take it back. I take it back. The world will respect him. The world will respect him. Now we're going to get more into this advocating for the church to use their property to grow marijuana, but I guess the world actually would respect him. Now, would the body respect him? No, or at least it shouldn't. Let's go back to it. Hospitable. Well, listen, one thing he is, he's very hospitable. Without question. Ma'am, can we seat you up front? Sweetheart, yeah, you with the low cut shirt. Yeah, let me get you right here. Ma'am, you with the really short, tight shirt and skirt, front row. I think he is hospitable. I would give him that. But he says also able to teach. Now, is he someone who is able to teach? Well, before we go through the rest of these, remember who this guy is. This is the man who told the people in the pulpit, speaking of able to teach that Jesus, Jesus, who is God, Jesus spent 85% of his life out of order. Since he was at 30, Jesus accepted his call to ministry at 30. He had been in carpentry since he was 13. He ran the family business since he was 17 at the risk of being heretical tonight. Ma'am, might I suggest to you that 85% of Jesus's life, he was out of order. 85% of his life, he was doing what he was not called to do. God, y'all done got quiet.  But it did not line up with his divine DNA. Now, I called up somebody about an hour or two before I went on. Let me tell you why I did. This was not the scheduled video for today. Someone sent me this video. I saw the clip, then I went back and watched the whole thing. There was actually, I posted a short video, about 10, 15 minutes. It bothered me so much. It just kept bothering me and bothering me of all the things, all the areas that this man is going wrong to intentionally lead people in the wrong direction. Now, we're going to talk about two groups that he is grossly misleading because he calls himself a pastor and he also seems to say that he is aware and a proponent for the black community. I don't think he's a proponent or helping either one of the communities. I don't think he's doing so at all. But this man just said Jesus spent 85% of his life out of... We're talking about God in flesh. We're talking about our Lord is the one who never made a mistake, the one who never sinned. Now, I had to call up this person and talk to him because I kind of got a little real, a little raw. You know, sometimes you get away from the public and you say some stuff that you just can't say on the camera. I had some words. Now, they weren't cuss words. They weren't... Matter of fact, I've even used the words before here, but kind of one event. And it bothered me. I can't lie. It bothered me so much. So, you know what? Finally, we're going to have a discussion about this because this is absolutely bananas. It's ridiculous. It's bonkers. It's ungodly. It's satanic. It's demonic. Hey, I got an idea, Isaiah Saldivar. I got an idea, Pagani. I got an idea, Daniel Adams.  How about you do that? Because Satan is running that pulpit at that church. And I feel sorry. I really do feel sorry for the people at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. I really do. I don't know that the people even know what a pastor is or looks like. As a matter of fact, while I'm on it, I'm not sure if the... Is there anybody in the chat who is from Atlanta? Who lives in Atlanta? Do you all even know what a pastor is, what he looks like, what his responsibilities are? Does anybody know? Someone says careful with the language. I just said Negro. What's wrong? There's actually an organization that used the word Negro. I'm not going to... I'll mind the manners, but that Negro is crazy. I'm sorry. But does anybody in Atlanta know what a pastor is? Who's... Sheila, you in Atlanta? What's going on? What is happening? If it's not this one, it's the one before where they just have no idea how a pastor is, how they ought to be, how they ought to conduct themselves, what their primary responsibility is. It's protecting, guarding, and growing the flock, those that are part of the body, and then using the body as well as yourself to build up the body in terms of bringing people in. You want to be a beacon. You want to be an ambassador. You want to be a billboard for the body of Christ. You want to point people to Christ. Now, we've covered before in the past his failings. I don't have a problem with his failings. We'll talk about his failings in a little bit. I don't have a problem with the fact that the man failed and was trying to rehabilitate himself. I don't have a problem with that, but it's the fact that he did not do that. Now, let's go back again to the qualifications, and I'll talk more about this whole pastor stuff that we don't seem to have going on. And I don't want to impugn the entire city of Atlanta. I don't want to impugn the entire state of Georgia, who also doesn't know what a pastor is. I don't, because I imagine there are some who actually do know. I'm wondering, though, if the Black people in Atlanta know what a pastor is, or are you all just looking for another civil rights leader? Maybe that's what it is. I'm not sure. But anyway, let's go back to what Peter's, I mean, what Paul is saying. Verse three, not a drunkard, not violent, but gentle, not crawlsome. Okay, I think those three he's okay with, but this is the last one in verse three. That's the one where we have a problem, not a lover of money. You want to plant, not a vineyard. Okay, you're into gardening. You don't want to plant a vineyard. Potatoes, tomatoes, corn, green, you're in the South. Some college greens, colored greens, how do you want to call it? Not that. You don't want to plant that. And yes, I'm wearing green in honor of his desire to grow some wheat. That's actually not why I have the green. I didn't think about it until somebody said in the chest. But that's what you want to farm. That's what you want to farm, huh? We'll get to that and your derelict leadership of your church, as well as the black community. We'll get to that in a second. And I'm looking for, Lord, please, Lord, please, send somebody who is a supporter of Jamal Bryant here. That's what I'm looking for. I don't care who do I have to do this to get him to come? I want somebody from speaking tongues. Mega-ha-ba-ba-ba. I want a show enough legitimate supporter of Jamal Bryant to show up. I want to hear you. I want to hear you because I've got some other suggestions. Because why stop at wheat? Got some other things coming that I think the church would do well. And you, sir, are the right person to lead these other business ventures that I have in mind. But before we get there, let's go back to the passage. Not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well. Well, in the past, he hadn't done so. He hadn't done so. For if, I'm sorry, with all dignity, keeping his children submissive, don't have any problems with that. Or if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? He must not be a recent convert. Or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders so that he may not fall into disgrace into a snare of the devil. Well, one number one, too late for that. Too late for that. We know that the man can't handle the text. As a matter of fact, the text is just something to promote what he wants. He knows how to, he's skillful enough to use the text to point out his agenda. Rather than letting the agenda of the Bible come through him. No, that's not, that's not where we're going with it. That's not, that is not what we're trying to do. Now again, his whole mission, it seems as though that he is doing his very best to lead a revolution. He's more interested in status than sin being taken care of. As a matter of fact, if sin comes along with status, so be it, so be it. We're going to see this in a little bit in some of his other interviews, but remember, this guy is someone who is very political, very political. You all saw, many of you saw, especially if you watch the channel, we covered him dogging Herschel Walker. Now, let me just say this because someone is going to miss everything I'm saying and only think that I just spent the whole hour or a whole 30 minutes of whatever talking about Herschel Walker versus Raphael Warnock. Let me say this, do I think that Herschel Walker is qualified or I shouldn't say qualified because as long as you're an American citizen, then you're qualified. But do I think that Herschel Walker is a great candidate for the Republican Party or any party? No, I do not. No, I do. I'm just the other truth. Shame the devil. But would I, would I have preferred him over Raphael Warnock? Without question, without question. You know why? And one, people are going to try to compare the two. Well, one calls himself a pastor. One was a pastor. And it'd be one thing if you weren't touting that and black churches weren't touting that, that here we've got a man of God. He's not a man of God. He's not advocating for what the scriptures advocate for, but he's advocating for some sort of social justice program for all these different things. And so don't take my word for it. Let's just listen to Dr. Jamal Bryant speak glowingly of Raphael Warnock and negatively of Herschel Walker. Ladies and gentlemen, when the Republican Party of Georgia moved Herschel Walker from Texas to Georgia so that he could run for Senate, it's because change was taking too fast in the post antebellum South. The state had been flipped blue and there are some principalities that were not prepared for a black man and a Jewish man to go to Senate at the exact same time. So they figured that they would delude us by picking somebody who they thought would in fact represent us better. Now, let me say this. People think that maybe there's some truth to it. Maybe there's not. I don't know. Was it? I was not involved in the meeting, but to say Herschel Walker would be a pawn or a puppet of the Republican Party to do what they say. Okay, fine. Let's say Herschel Walker, if he would have won, would have gone to Washington and would have done the bidding of the Republican Party. Let's say that was the case. Okay. But isn't Raphael Warnock and really every other Democratic politician doing the exact same thing for the Democratic Party named the Democrat in office, Senator or Congressman who is against abortion? I'll tell you what, type it in while I drink my drink. No, there is not. There is not. Name the Democratic Senator or the Democratic congressman or woman who is not pro LGBTQ. So if we're going to talk about who goes to Washington and does the bidding of the party and doesn't think or stand his own two feet, you might want to accuse Herschel of that, but every single black person in office has demonstrated that very same thing. And it wouldn't bother me if it wasn't for the fact that a lot of these very same black folks called themselves Christian. There's the problem that I have.  Don't do that. And I'm not pro Republican or pro Democrat, but I'll tell you what, I couldn't see myself voting for a Democrat at this very moment, but I don't have an allegiance to either one of them. I think both of them are filled with tarnished frail men and women who need Jesus without question. But is anyone going to at least be a tool for Christians in America? I'm cool with that. Donald Trump was not a Republican. I mean not a Christian. If you think so, well then your definition of a Christian is off too. He wasn't, but was he used as a tool for some of the things that Christians wanted? Sure, without question. Was he a glowing example of a Christian? No, because he's not a Christian, just because he says he's one. Now, here we've got a pastor, though, who's in the pulpit, doing everything that he can to twist and turn around the definition of a Christian. With a football than with a degree in philosophy.  I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry. Forgive me, forgive me. But when you say the stereotypical black man, don't we think or have we been shown or taught especially if we listen to, I don't know, pick a rap video, pick a rap song, the character of a black man, someone who is sleeping around, getting chicks pregnant. It kind of looks like you, Mr. Frat Boy, kind of, kind of looks like you. I'm just saying. And now we know they say black folks, some of these black folks, special in the street, love weed. I think you're validating that point very well, Mr. Bryant. As opposed to somebody who is educated and erudite and focused, y'all ain't ready for me today. Since Herschel Walker was 16 years old, the white men been telling him what to do, telling him what school to go to, where to live, where to eat, where to buy a house, where to run, where to sit down, where to sleep, where to pay for abortions, where to buy a gun. And you think they're not going to tell him how to vote? In 2022, we don't need a walker. We need a runner. We need somebody who's going to run and tell the truth about January 6th. We need somebody who's going to run and push for the cancellation of student loan debts. Now, notice what his agenda is. Notice what this pastor's agenda is. Let me know when you hear the first biblical base agenda that he's talking about. Let me know when you hear it. We need somebody who's going to run and make the former president respond to a subpoena. We don't need a walker. We need somebody who will be steadfast, unmovable, always abounded, knowing that your labor is not in vain. George, I need you to know the slave that grows on the used to. Don't live here. I beg to differ to say that you all can think for yourselves. I beg to differ. I beg to differ to say that you can even vote for yourself. You haven't demonstrated that. You haven't demonstrated that. You haven't shown that. It's just me. Now, this man is without question pro-choice. And it's not that he's pro-choice. He said he's really pro-abortion. That's the whole of the subject.  I want to play another portion of this interview that he did, where he's talking about being pro-choice. I got up, Rashon, after the Supreme Court ruling about that new birth and me are pro-choice because Jesus is. He said, behold, I stand to do and not. If you decide to let me in, that's pro-choice. God in the Garden of Eden said to Adam and Eve, all of these trees are available to you. I want you to pick those. I'm not putting this other tree behind Bob White and the ADT alum. Don't eat it, but that's your choice. Yes. Christianity and into itself is pro-choice.  And they don't know who it is that they are because their politics are thrown off and don't really speak to what's happening in the culture. He said that they are white evangelicals in drag. He's using the scripture. He's using, again, I told you, he can take a scripture and twist it to promote his agenda. And he's using the Garden of Eden and all the options, the choices of trees that they have. And so God is pro-choice. Jesus is the Bible is pro-choice. All right. Well, I've got one for you then, Mr. Bryant. The Bible tells us in Deuteronomy 30 verse 19, he says, I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Therefore choose life that you and your offspring may live. How about that, Mr. Walker, if we're going to choose something. By the way, it's your job to push people who you, if you think so, if it's your conviction in a godly fashion, what to choose. That's kind of part and partial of being a pastor. You had no problem pushing people who to choose who to vote for. You don't have a problem with that. You don't have a problem people telling people, telling folks to choose Raphael Warnock over Hershel Walker. If that's what you believe, okay, fine. But you don't, you think it's also wrong though to tell people not to choose killing their baby. Yet you're the same guy who would have a baby dedication while you're touting the ills of Roe v. Wade being repealed. That was a bad thing. You set the black country back.  And while you're saying that you are for a woman's right to choose to kill her baby, and he's literally saying this, guys, you're bringing on babies on stage for a baby dedication. You are as twisted as they get. The problem is you've got a legion of people in front of you clapping and standing up and cheering for this. And so they're kind of egging you on. They're egging you on. But now what you're supposed to do, what you're supposed to do. Yeah, people have the option to choose sin. They do. They absolutely do. But what is your job? Paul puts it, it's the Bible, Mr. Brian. Paul says, you know, Paul says, he says, chapter five verse 11 of Second Corinthians, he says, therefore knowing the fear of the Lord, you should as a pastor understand that there is a fear that is before the people who do not have Christ, who have not placed their faith in Christ. There is a fearful expectation of punishment. And so he says, knowing the fear of the Lord, what do we do? We persuade men to do what to choose. But we are made manifest to God, and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciousness. So we should persuade men to come to Christ. It's the love of God that, let's look at what he says, verse 14. For the love of God, some verses may say, compel or control us, have concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died. Why don't we know that you are known for promoting the gospel? That's what you should be known by. None of this other stuff. None of this other stuff. It would be one thing if we're talking about your doctrine, hey, I disagree with this, I disagree with that, I agree with this, I agree with that. It'd be one thing. But you are known for your scandals, you're known for your social livings and so forth. You are known for your braggartos, you're known for being on one of Donald Trump's shows. You are known for all the wrong things and not the right things. That's a problem. That's a huge problem. And so you missed out on being qualified. Now, I want to also play another clip from this man on this show. I think it's, what is it? Rashana Ali, I think it's her name. I forget the name of the show, I never heard of it till today. But listen to this and I want you all to see if you can get a little bit more insight from this narcissistic, unsaved pastor. Preaching became my profession and not my call because I did in Rashana at 30 with a mega church and I'm on TBN every day. I'm on Daystar every day. I'm on the Word Network every day. And then you look this good. Well, I'm sorry, I'm just saying, I'm being real. I'm like, this is a lie. Yes, say it all. Okay, I did it, I just said it. I'm not stopping you. Yeah, no. Now, he loved that. Oh, he loved that. He, no, it's not Tamron Hall. It's not Tamron Hall. But he loved that. The fact that this, this looking woman, nice little woman and she says, and you look good. Oh, he loved that. But now, and I'll start it back over again. But remember I said before that the one thing about him is, I don't care what it's going, what's happening. Remember the sermon that he gave? I'm still the man or any other sermon. He always, he never fails in promoting himself, saying something positive about himself. Be careful of those kind of people where every time they speak, they're always bragging about something they did, even if it is there in their failure. Yes, I fail.  I fail and I just know how to handle this great and awesome responsibility the Lord has given me because the Lord wants me to be great because the Lord wants y'all to know that I'm still the man. And I didn't know how to handle, I had to grow. Okay, this is, this is how he gives. There is no humility in what he's saying. So I want to go back and play. I'm going to ask him, I'm going to start it back over so you all can hear it again. So preaching became my profession and not my call because I didn't rush on at 30 with a mega church and I'm on TBN every day. I'm on Daystar every day. I'm on the Word Network every day. And you look this good. Well, I'm sorry. I'm just saying, I'm being real. Like this is a lie. Yes, I'm not stopping you. Okay, I didn't, I just said it. Yeah, no. So and you look this good at 30 and you've never experienced this type of attention. Okay, got it. I'm on the stage with Bishop Jakes, with Benny Hinn, with Creflo Dahu at the time in their fifties. So I can't even relate to their world because they. Now, I want you all to notice something. Listen to the people who he has been surrounded by. That also makes it because what does bad company do? What does bad company do? It corrupts, it corrupts your morals. It doesn't listen to the people who he's around and listen how he's kind of what he's engaged in. So with Benny Hinn, with Creflo Dahu at the time in their fifties. So I can't even relate to their world because they're kids of my age. Right. You know what I mean? You're like their son. Right. So I don't have anybody to walk me through it to say, hey, when you're at this age doing this, travel with your wife. Right, right. You know what I mean? I got three kids back to back. So it was a difficult and I want to link clarity. These are not excuses. These are explanations is that. He said these are not excuses. These are explanations. But when you use these explanations as excuses, and that's where they are, you're using these explanations as a reason why you have problems with that. That's what you have. You say you have a PhD. Then you should know that is what an excuse is in that accountability. I didn't have any sense of awareness. So you got due to the fact that in one day, Roshan, I preach at Megafest. And the next day I'm the co-chair of the Million Man March. So I'm operating in two different levels. I'm the same person. So you're doing all of these things. You're preaching it. Let's say you're at Beatt not notorious, BIG's funeral, Tupac's funeral. I'm preaching with TD Jakes. And then you're also co-chairing the Million Man March with Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam. Listen to who he finds himself in in the circles. And then he's back at home preaching to his congregation. I submit to you that no one at Biggie Small's funeral, that no one at Tupac's funeral, that no one at the Million Man March, that no one at Megafest, that no one at his church actually heard the gospel. I'm just stepping out on a limb. I just wonder, did anyone actually hear the gospel? Who does the funeral for Biggie and for Tupac? So I'm in all different kind of worlds that are beyond just church worlds. Yeah, I mean, so and so here is somebody who is at that age who is identifiable at that level. And I think it was part, Rashad, of my grooming to take new birth because somebody who hadn't been through a fall couldn't have pastored on. Now, again, I don't have a problem with the person who was going through a fall. I have, matter of fact, we all have, if you haven't, is coming. The issue is this.  It's the fact that you haven't shown them how to come through facing God. You haven't shown them how to get up and put all their focus on the Lord. Your focus is not falling publicly again. That's been your focus. You are again. He's about status. And what he's trying to do, ladies and gentlemen, is he is trying to relate to the people rather than to reform the people. He is more interested in being friends with them in a worldly sense than he is with bringing them to Christ and leading them out of this world. Now, we'll go back to this video again, this, this, the interview and talk about what he's advocating in terms of, in terms of this marijuana. But there's a huge problem with that.  James says in chapter four, verse four, he says, You adulterous people, do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God, therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Clearly, that's his agenda. That's what he's on. He may not admit to it, but it doesn't take a whole lot to see that. You talk about the status things that other people in the world talk about and what they want to do. And then we see you. It's clear that you are of the world. You're in the world. You're of the world. You want to be as world as possible. And the latest exhibit before the jury is this desire to put people or use your church, your church grounds for marijuana. Let's go back to the video. I'm asking the people who don't go to church. And a lot of churches are just recycling people from other churches. That's not who I'm after.  I'm at their place for showing his. No, no, no, really. Now, I get part of what he said. I'm after the people who are out there who need help. Well, Jesus did that. He went after the prostitutes, all the tax credit, all the centers. I get that. I get that. But you know what Jesus didn't do? You know what Jesus did not do? He did not tell them because this is what a lot of churches do. A lot. And I'm sorry, especially a lot of you missionary Baptist churches. Good for saying this. I want to I want to put this out there.  I don't care what you are. Presbyterian method. I don't care what your denomination is. Stop telling people to come as you are only to stay as they are. There still is. We still believe in holiness. We still believe in change. We still believe in growing and getting closer to God. We still believe in that. And so, yeah, we want them to come in, but we don't want them to come in and say that way. And when you say you want the people to come in who smell like weed, is it because you want them to teach you how to get the best quality of weed? Is is is that what it is? New birth is the largest land owning black church in America. And so my position to my deacons is why aren't we not raising cannabis? How do you even do that? How do you go before the people? Well, you know what? I know how you do it. I was getting ready to say, how do you go before the other men of God in the church, the leaders, and say, hey, I think we ought to be growing some weed? How do you do that? Well, if there are no men of God there, especially those that behold your accountable, it's easy to do so. As soon as as soon as you walk into the meeting room and you say, hey, I think we ought to be, why aren't we using our field to grow some weed? They should have put you out and started looking for a new search for a pastor. That's what they should have been doing. But again, there are no men. You know why there are no men there? You know why there are no men there? Because here's what I think describes those men who are in that church. Here's what I think describes those men who just like their pastor. These are men who, as Jesus says, looks for the praise of men. He says in chapter 12, verse 40, let's start with 42. Nevertheless, many even the authorities believed in him, but were, but for fear of the Pharisees did not confess it. Now remember we talked about before how anyone can have a surface belief. Yeah, I believe Jesus died on the cross. I mean, I believe that Jesus is some guy. I believe that Jesus is the... I believe that. I believe it, but not in a way that it's a true belief where there's actual godly sorrow in there. No, that's not happening there. That's not happening in that church. And Jesus is talking about those kind of folks who, yeah, they believe what he was saying, but they weren't going to commit to it. Same thing here. Why do they not? Why won't they commit to it? Because they love something more than the Lord. Here's what Jesus says. He says, for they love the glory or the praise that comes from man, more than the glory that comes from God. Let me say it again. They love the praise of man more than they love the glory of God. That's what we have here. When she said, you look good. Oh, he loved that. Matter of fact, he told her to say it again. I'll be honest with you, if a woman or anyone says, Hey, who are you nice looking guy? Say it again. But I understand, but now inwardly, I'm not going to just, you know, live that out loud. I'm not going, I don't want folks to see how conceited, how selfish, how narcissistic I am. If that's my struggle, you might want to do a better job. You matter of fact, you might want to step down.  You are unqualified to be a pastor. What shepherd is more concerned about himself than the sheep? You cannot lead the sheep with a mirror. Check me out there. Right. You know, all right. Okay. You can't, you can't, you can't do that because you can't, you cannot do that.  The best thing about him being a senator is that he, now he's got a legitimate excuse as to why he's not there guarding the sheep or abusing his wife. I'm sorry. I should not have said that. I'm sorry. But she said it first. His wife said it first. I apologize. But a pastor's supposed to be there taking care of the sheep. Let's go back to the video. I'm sorry. I'll be able to bring in black males. They're able to do it legally. I'm teaching them farming. Oh my God. I'm helping them to enhance the ecosystem. I'm teaching them farming. I'm helping them to enhance the eco. Let me ask you all a question. Can we get real for a second? Just for a half a second. Can we get? I'm sorry. He just, what do you say? Proverb 17 and the announcements, New Birth will now accept dime bags in lieu of ties. Yep. Can you imagine? Can you imagine Ray Sean and Booking him? Can you imagine the fellas who love to smoke weed out there farming it? I'm sorry. The brothers on the street, they might like to smoke it, but they ain't trying to grow it. They're not, what are you gonna put?  No, that's not gonna happen. That's not, that is not the way it works. By the way, if you're, if you are growing, we have a, wait a minute, wait, we have a Jamal supporter. Who is the, can I know who the Jamal supporter is? Can someone tell me who is the Jamal supporter? I'd love to know.  Now listen, I'm from the streets. I know if we selling weed, I might get out there trying to grow it. I'm trying to sell it. That's what I'm trying to do, if that's me. But who is, I'd love to, Jay challenges your, oh, Jay challenges. Okay, wait, I pushed the wrong, I'm not gonna push the wrong thing, where is he at? The thing is moving quickly. He says, I'm lying on Jamal. How so, sir? What, what, what am I lying on? I would love to know, what did I just, what did I say that's factually incorrect? Fact, listen, you are more than welcome to fact check me. Did I, did I ascribe one abortion too many to him? Tell me what it is. And then tell me how you know I'm lying. Let me just thank you so far. I appreciate that they could, they could have used that. Now, listen, that is an excellent point. All seriousness aside, they, let me just read it from here. They could have used that field to grow food, but I hope you'll use this pocket change for food. They really could have. If you're looking to do something for the community, why not grow, why not grow crops? We talk about how in a lot of the black communities there's a food desert. So how about that? Where's Tony? I mean, I need to see Tony. He says, let's take your position. Now, Tony, I'm going to leave that. I'm sorry, not Tony. Jay, I'm going to leave that up there for all of the Christian body to see. And there's a problem. Jay brother, I love you that I promise you, if I saw you stranded, I'd pick you up and give you right. If somebody was jumping on you, I'd get in the fight with you. I really do love you. And so, because I love you, I'm going to tell you how you're wrong. Jesus says that we should not do anything to stop one of these little ones from coming to me. By the way, do you know that the description of Jesus when the Holy's went, I'm sorry, when the angels spoke to Joseph and told him that the child that's in her womb wasn't called a fetus, wasn't called some blomp of, by the way, fetus is not a bad term. It's an actual stage in development. Wasn't, wasn't told it's not a person yet. Will be once the baby's born. No. The word that's used there is a person that's born. Speaking of Jesus, the baby in the womb. So when the Bible talks of someone that's been conceived, the Bible refers to that as a person who is born. They're just on the other side of the womb. Then we go to, is it Leviticus? I can't, is it Leviticus 22? I think it's 22. Where if two men are striving and they hit a pregnant woman and the pregnant woman delivers the child, if the child survives, that person is guilty of a judgment. However, if they accidentally killed the baby, that person, death is required. It says blood for blood, skin for skin, two for two, all that stuff. So that person has death as what they are going to receive. You do know if you kill a baby, the baby can't come to Christ. The Bible says that we should not shed innocent blood. Is there any more, any, any blood on the planet you can think of that would also qualify as innocent more so than the baby?  Are you saying that? Or let me ask you this question. I'm not trying to be mean, but I would love to know how does, how does, or how, or have you had any abortions? Have you had any abortions? And this is just a way that you just want to make sure that you are not feeling culpable and guilty as well. It's okay to have sin and learn your lesson, but to promote it, no. So tell me, sir, am I correct in what I just said? You said abortion. He's promoting abortion. And if he's for the black community, almost 20 million black babies have been aborted again. Let me just say it loud and clear for you to hear, Jay, and anyone else. You do realize that one of the most dangerous places in America right now for a black person to be is in the mother, in the womb of their mother. Since they have a good percentage, a good likelihood of being aborted more so than any other group in America. More than whites, more than Hispanics, more than anybody. It's a problem. We represent 40% of all the abortions. And so let's vote for some more of these backwards Negroes to go to Washington, D.C. and promote more killing babies. Let's vote. Let's send some more folks to Washington, D.C., who was for Black Lives Matter, but ain't for getting down in the streets and helping Black Lives actually matter. Let's do that, Jay. And I don't want to bring you on, Jay. I would bring you on, but I promise you, you're not going to look good. I promise you that, but I want you to type in the chats where we're on, why Jamal is so great. Please type so we can help identify the rest of the world with what the problem is. The problem isn't so much Jamal. He is the problem, but the problem is you. You enable this foolishness. If you are going to enable sin and promote sin, then you are also saying good is evil, and evil is good.  It's evil. And if you don't get that, you're the problem. You got a man talking about, let's use the church property to sell weed, to grow some weed. How, you're right. You know what you're right. You're right. Say that. Say we all sin and we all can grow from it. We ain't got to stay in sin. Don't say we all sin and stay in sin. The person wants to keep sinning. That person has no reward in heaven. That should be clear to you, Jay. What do you want to do? Make people feel good in their sin or deliver them from their sin. Help them get delivered. What do you want to do, Jay? What do you want to do? Jamal Bryan supporters, Jamal Bryan and everyone else at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church who have not had the integrity or the Bible backing to lead that church. Tell me how what he's doing is right. When I talk about a used car salesman, we're talking about somebody who's a pastor. We're talking about someone who is an actual pastor. The standard is up here. It ain't down here. It's not being a basketball coach. It's not even running for Senate. It's a higher calling than running for Senate. Tell Dr. Raphael Warnock. It's a higher calling than anything that you can think of, say being, let's say, a father, a mother. Tell me how he gets a pass on sin. Because what you have there, and I've been in churches like that, it's an incubator for more sin. Well, I can go here and I don't have to have nobody worried about me sleeping with her and her because they sleep with them people too. Okay, yeah. Amen, brother. I'll gladly pay my tides. Wait a second. Alton, I got to ask you a question, Alton. I got it. Alton, aren't you in Georgia? Alton, tell me, are you in Georgia too? I think you're in Georgia. If so, we're putting this all on you. We are blaming you, Alton. No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Because Alton is definitely not for that foolishness. All right, Alton, what do we need to do? You are not on your job, Alton. You should have had this thing wrapped up. You should have, no, I'm kidding. So, seeing Alton lets us know that there are some godly men in Georgia. Let's read, let's go back to Jay, guys. Now, is this Jay for Jamal? Is this short for Jamal? I don't, I'm just wondering, but Jay. Jay says, Corey, you are in Georgia.  That is not the case. We try to grow only perfect. Okay, listen. I want you to understand. Jay, maybe you don't know me. Hi, Jay. My name is Corey. How are you? Let me tell you about my story. Jay, I grew up in the hood. I grew up where all sorts of excuses are plentiful if you want them. My father sold drugs. My mother used drugs. My father went to prison when I was two or three. I'm not sure because I wasn't thinking about it. When did I actually go visit him in prison? I almost died the day I was born because I had drugs in my system. We grew up in and around drugs, gangs and all sorts of like that. I knew how to take crack cocaine and to turn it into freebase. We would deliver that stuff. I knew all that stuff. We knew how much bacon sold and so forth. We knew all of that stuff. I took, by the way, one day to show and tell, I took my mother's weed box. I don't know how many of you all had a weed box, but we did. My mother did and I took it to school. We were ran out of our home twice, once out of the city, because someone was trying to kill us over a bad drug deal. Yeah, that was my life growing up. Went to prison. My own failures. I don't stay in the sin. I don't advocate for the sin. I don't give excuses to the sin. And when I speak to men who either are in prison or were in prison, there's no opening for excuses. There is none. We're grown men. Now, if you feel like the Democratic Party that tends to treat you like you're not responsible for your misgivings for your failures, well, then there's another channel for you to go to.  And there is a way to get by that. His name is Jesus. Place your faith. And if you have not, if you have not changed a turn from your sin, you're not a Christian. You don't know the Bible and you don't know God. It really is that simple. There is no if ands, there's no equivocating to this whatsoever. And so, Jay, if you're going to advocate for someone else's sin, well, then you're the one that's going to be in trouble because God is going to deal with you. Listen, Jamal is going at his current pace, at his current rate.  No if ands, buts about it. No if ands, buts about it. And if you're going to advocate for the sin that he's advocating for, well, then guess where you go to? I'm not saying you are. I hope you're not. Maybe it's just that you don't quite get it. You don't understand because I understand when you're in a big room and everybody is saying, yeah, that's right. Amen. And you start like, oh, well, maybe that is all right. Okay. Maybe a boy. Yeah, abortion. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  I get it. That whole herd mentality. We all get to moving like that. I get that. But some point in time you got to get by yourself. Read your Bible for yourself. Pray to God if the Holy Spirit is in you, he will bring you into a better understanding. Jay, you got to get that brother. You got to be the man out there to let folks know that what's wrong and what's right. If we don't tell people what's wrong, then they'll keep doing it. If we give them a pass, then they'll keep doing it. It's called enabling a drug addict. The worst friend that he can have is someone that's saying it's okay. It's okay. Someone's not holding his people to fire. Yeah. I know what that's like when my mother was on crack. Yeah, my mother. We used to, it's going to be all right, mama, until one day, no mama, no, get your stuff together. Get it right. Mama, mama, end up giving her life to Christ. And all that stuff started moving away. Yeah. I know what Jesus will do for you. What's clear is there seems to be no Jesus in New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.  We want a purging, a cleansing, and a start anew. We're not going through this again. And you bring somebody just as bad. The only difference is he's not praying on boys. He's praying on women. There's a problem right there, Jay. So tell me what else I've gone wrong, Jay. I need to know. Let's go back while you're trying to figure it out. Let's go back to some more of his foolishness. This is the kind of conversation. So if the guy, black boy in Bankhead said, they growing weed at the church. Where do I join? Yes. I don't need no pamphlet for him. He coming in. He coming in. And that's the group that I'm going after.  Now you go on. You better have a good metal detector. You better have a good metal detector. You better have some security, some police officers there. You better have the nearest detective and homicide squad on speed dial. You better have that there. You're going to have a large church. Won't look like a church. There better be a drinking section, a smoking section at your church. There better be all that there. You're going to sit. Now those are folks you want. Okay. What the problem is you have never, ever demonstrated the ability to minister to those kind of people. You've only demonstrated the ability to relate to those people, to identify with those people and to cohort with those people. That's all you've ever done. That's why you're preaching at Biggie's funeral. That's why you're at Tupac's funeral. That's why you're in the Million Man Mars. You want to, you want to belong. That matters to you. All right. Let's, let's deal with this. So if a young 15 year old had a kid and can't afford to take care of her kid, should she be forced to have it? My mom had an abortion. It's common in the black community. First of all, let's leave that on the screen. And I thank you, Jay, for you being honest. Let's deal with the last line first and work our way back. It's common in the black community. What are we going to do about that, Jay? We have inadvertently become the laughing stock of the planet. Let me ask you guys a question. This, this, this, listen, this might sound like somebody he, he hates his own kind. No, I love my own kind. I love black folks. We were watching the show.    Like one of these false prophets said that bigfoot is, he's a shape-shifting alien. Somebody really actually said that too, guys. And you want to shift your shape into a human being on this planet.  But let's just say fine, you want to be a male or female, doesn't matter. But you got to pick a race. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian. You're the alien. And all you do is you got to look at TV and see which one of these groups do I want to be. I want to be the blacks. I want to be the whites. I want to be a, which one do you, I'm venturing to guess that you're probably not in our current state of things going to say, you know what? I want to be the black people, especially the ones I see on TV. Yeah. The ones that are having all these abortions, the ones who were not going to say that they're responsible because why should we? They are a good voting block for certain people. No, I got to leave this picture up. I got to leave this picture up. Now, we are a problem not because other people are doing something to us because we are and we don't. Now, Jay, I don't know how old you are.  But I remember when we used to be proud and we used to hold ourselves responsible. Now, even before I was born, that it used to be that if you committed crime, this is a pre-civil rights movement.    Kids were born, 70 plus percent of our kids were born to a mother and father. Now, now, they're not. It's okay though. It's okay. What did kids used to do who got pregnant at 15 back in the day, Jay? What did black folks used to do before there was abortion ability? Yeah, chess chap. What did we used to do then? We used to take care of our kids and we used to send them to school. That's what we used to do.  You're going to go out and be responsible. That's what we used to do. So that's what we do with the 15-year-old who happens to get pregnant. Oh, by the way, what if daddy was at home and then the 15-year-old wouldn't get pregnant? Let's finish reading, Jay's. So if a young 15-year-old had a kid and can't afford to take care of her kid, should she be forced to have it? Again, let's deal with that. Okay, you're 39. Okay, so you're young. You're younger. You're not young, but you're younger. But it's old enough to know better. But should she be forced to have it? No, you ask the question the wrong way.  That's how you ask that question, Jay. Should that baby have to die? Because just because she's 15. Should the baby have to die for that? You said my mom had an abortion. Okay. Let me ask you a question. Would you, Jay? Here's a serious question, Jay. And I'll move you off the screen. But Jay, would you prefer? Would you have a problem? I want your honest answer, Jay. I want your honest answer, Jay. Tell me. Your mother had an abortion, so she had boarded at least one kid, but didn't abort you. Jay, here's my question. Would you mind switching places with the baby, your sibling that was aborted? Would you mind her aborting you and keeping the other baby? Which would you prefer? And I'm going somewhere with this question, Jay. But please answer the question. Would you have preferred, right now, preferred to have been the one that was aborted? It's kind of a goofy question, kind of a weird question. But Jay, would you have, would you like to have had you aborted and let the other one get a chance at life? Which one would you have preferred? If you could switch, if you could go back in time and help your mother to choose. I want to, because there's a reason why I'm asking this question, Jay. Since it's common. Amen. My people perish for lack of care. Amen. Jay, I'd like to know. See, the only people that are for abortion are the people who have not been aborted. Because I promise you, if you ask the baby if the baby could talk to you, let me live.  Where do we get that from? Starting off rough means you're going to have a rough life for the rest of your life? Hey, let me just give you proof. Let me give you proof. Now my mother wasn't young when she had me, but she was young when she had my other brothers. But you heard how I started off bad. Ended up having my own investment firm. Now I messed that up. I messed that up. Went to prison. Got back. I think I'm doing well enough, at least well enough to get you on here and listen to me. At least that well. Now Jay says no. You would not want to have switched positions. Why? Why can't we value all the other black lives that have been aborted? Why can't Jamal do that? He said leave Jay's alone. I'm not picking on Jay. I'm not trying to be mean, but I want folks to see this line of thinking that has devastated one, the body, the church, and also the black community. Jamal Bryan is horrible.  When you're not even preaching the gospel. You're not even preaching the gospel. Now here's the question that Jay and anyone else has to ask, all of us, really. You remember the old little bracelets? It was cute. What would Jesus do? What would Jesus do? If you're asking him for counsel, the 15-year-old that's pregnant, even if oh, what if she was raped? What if she was molested? What did we do with people who were raped and molested in the past? Not advocating for it. Obviously that's a horrible thing, which by the way is one-half percent, one-half, one-fifth of a percent of all abortions. Yeah, small amount. Because I would say even if we made that exception, folks who were for abortion still wouldn't want to outlaw if we made that exception. They just prosin. That's what they are. Prosin. But if you ask Jesus, hey Lord, what should I do?  We have productive citizens who are the product of rape and incest. Yeah. Go talk to an abortion survivor. Ask them, are they glad that they survived it? Or yeah, you know what? It was my mother's, my mother's choice and so on. No. No.  That's what he is. A prosin pastor who teaches a different gospel. And so we got a problem. By the way, I don't know what happened to the world. It's almost like when I went to prison and got out the world just, the world went crazy. Marijuana became legal. By the way, when marijuana became legal, do you know what all the guys in prison said? Oh, they were salivating. I can't wait to get out. I got this in mind. I got that in mind. Yeah. Why do we want to advocate for us who, by the way, we smoke more than our fair share of weed, black folks in America, advocate for something that's going to make us even less alert? Why would we do that? By the way, thank you all for the Super Chat and Jonathan as well. Thank you for Super Chat and everyone else who also has given. I appreciate that, guys. I really do. But why do we want to advocate for us to be even less alert? Democrats have already told us that we don't know how to go out and get ID. We're not responsible enough to get ID. We're not responsible enough if we ingest fentanyl and then pass off a counterfeit $20. We're not responsible enough for that. We're not alert enough for that. So the cure, the solution is, let's give them some more. We make them less alert. Man, listen. Listen. The quote of the day, the quote of the day, raped or molested, the child belongs to God. Say that again. Somebody tells you all that. I don't get it. I do get it because this is what Jesus says is going to happen. We're going to get to that level. Listen. It's going to be worse. Now, I've got something that's right up Jamal's alley. I've got something. I like that. Look what Brian said. Brian said, my wife was born despite her black father willingness to pay for an abortion. She is now the mother of three, grandmother of four.  Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. And she married a white guy. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I couldn't. But listen, your wife is awesome. Your wife is awesome. And what a testimony. Because we think about, matter of fact, we see all the result of people who were not aborted. We can contribute. You can't contribute if you're not alive. Amen. Ask her children.  Ask that. I like to be alive.  He may not give you all that you want. He may not be like Jamal and have a Bentley to drive. He may not. Now, if you want a Bentley to drive, Jamal, Brian, new birth, missionary Baptist church, I have got something for you. And I believe, I believe Jamal is the right person to lead this new business venture. I believe he's the right person. And this is why I'm saying this. He says, what sin won't Jamal promote? So if we're going to grow weed, if we're going to grow weed, now we can't do something that's illegal. We can't do that. I would say, let's grow grapes too long. And not the right climate there. I don't think in Georgia, not the right climate. Maybe there is. I don't know. I don't know. Do you all have, often do you all have vineyards down in Georgia? Maybe you do. I don't know. Too long, no. But if you're going to grow some weed, why not take some of that land also? Since we're talking about doing things that are ungodly and unbiblical and using the church land to do so, why not take some houses, build some houses there, right? And let each one of those buildings, you have a strip club in one of them. Yeah. Yeah, each strip club in one of them. You can probably meet some chicks there. You can grow grapes there. Okay. Alton says you can grow grapes there. But that's not sinful. So we're not growing that at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. Let's have some strip clubs there.  And what better place to have it there than New Birth Missionary?  And then the result of sexual sin? Okay, why not that? You got, now he's just playing. Why am I playing when I say have a strip club and church sponsored porn? Why am I playing? How come that's not serious, but having weed grown on the property? By the way, do you know how many people are going to be, do you know how many trespassers you're going to have on your property if you're growing weed? Yeah. Look what Sapphire said, almost vomited at that sound. That's where we're going guys. Listen, I hate to bust you guys, but that is where we're going. Not necessarily, but I'm saying, the craziest thing you can think of, you all think I'm playing, we got drag in churches now. We have drag queens in churches now. We have people promoting the LGBTQ community lifestyle in churches now. So we have. Y'all think this is a far stretch. No, it's not. No, it's not. And the reason why this is happening is because we, it'd be one thing if the world. Is okay. But we weren't, but now we're okay with it. We're okay with all of this sin. And what do we say? Let he who's without sin cast the first stone. Let he who's not living in it cast the first stone. If you're living in sin, we already know where you're going. You're right. Listen, I'm not. People are going to use the name of God to promote their sin. It is going to happen. Obviously I'm playing around with that, but maybe, maybe some, some simple entrepreneur who happens to be in a church. And we say church loosely, they might be at a place that they call a church. And then somebody is going to defend them. We already have enough, we have enough problem with people defending heretics. We have enough problem with that. But then we got folks that want to defend clear sin. Clear sin. That's the problem. Too legit to quit. Sin is sin. Sin is sin. Sin is sin. We don't, we see, we don't go for that though. That's not an vernacular. Too hard. Too hard. We would call ourselves holy. People like us, we are the religious right, the nut jobs. Holier than thou. As I said before, yeah, we're holier than thou. If you are not a believer, without question, we're holier than thou. We have been set apart. You haven't. But we're asked, you can be set apart. You can join this club. Place your faith in Christ. Maybe you will. And I promise you, I can promise you. Can I, can I, can I get a witness from everybody? Anyone ever lived in sin, thought that what they were doing, their sin was okay.  Am I, am I the only one that looks back at my sin and hate it? Even though at the time I thought that my sin ain't so bad. I thought my sin wasn't so bad. Ain't so bad. We all sin, we all fall short. Guys, that is not an excuse. That's not a built-in excuse for us to, yeah, we all fall short. We all sin. No. This guy in Atlanta, by the way of Baltimore, Baltimore, Baltimore, some folks in Atlanta, I wish you would have kept him. Some folks in Atlanta, I wish. But now these folks who advocate for sin, these folks who promote sin, these folks who indulge in sin, listen what I'm about to say. This is going to sound harsh, but it's not, it's completely biblical what I'm about to say.  I was too. Listen, I thought that my sin was okay, because it wasn't as bad as the next person's sin. I was, I was dumb. I was, I was dumb.  It's going to sound harsh, but it's completely biblical. If you are going to promote sin, especially if your sin is causing children to stumble, talk about promoting abortion and supporting it and advocating for it, you're going to wish you were aborted. You're going to wish you were aborted. Why do I say that? Because Jesus said it. He says it, it would be better if that person had never been born, if that person had a millstone, around the neck and tossed into the sea. Didn't say, nope, we don't want him back. We don't want him back. Y'all the reason why he went to Atlanta in first place, huh? Y'all got rid of him. Got on the first thing, smoking. That's what's going to happen. You are going to give an account of everything you say and do. Why not have your sins, they've been atoned for, accepted place, faith in what Christ has done, and live this godly life? Why not do that? So, I'm looking forward to the Jamal Bryan supporters, because that's what they're going to do.   I don't consider Jamal Bryan a black man. I don't. I just don't. Since we want to be pro-black, since we want to have our NAACP jackets on right now, I don't, I don't. Whoa, wait a second. Okay, that's interesting. You say it used to be your church. What made you leave? I'm curious. I've never talked to someone who went to new birth. I'm curious as to what made you leave.   That's probably, I'm going to go out on the limb and assume that's probably what happened. You left because you were a Christian. Because that's what Christians do. If we can't purge the sin out of that place, we'll leave that place. We won't have, we won't be around that stuff. And so that's probably, I hope that's what happened. I hope that's what happened. Doug Batchelor. Who is Doug Batchelor? Someone, is he in the comment section?  I got to see who that is. Is he a Jamal? Yeah, Queen. He is out of control. Jamal is living his best life though. With times that, I visited new birth for a year when I first moved to the A. Eddie Long was the pastor. Okay. What were you, what was it like? Other than the tight shirts and the boys up front. What was it like? He is getting closer. Closer. You look at this word, it's, we used to wonder how in the world is it going to be that bad? It can't be, it's getting there. Slow. We're like frogs in the, in the water. It's being turned up and we don't even know it. I was not spiritually mature, but I loved it though. Yeah, he's coming. So the sad part is, Look Tanya, look what she said below you. She said you went there in 2001. Look what she said. This, this makes you feel old. I was born in 2001. So she missed, so you miss Y2K. You miss Y2K. Go back and research Y2K. It was all the rage. Everyone was afraid back then. We thought that was the end of the world. A lot of folks did. Not, not Jamal. Jamal was planning for 2003. What was I doing in 2001? No, I hadn't, I hadn't started my business yet. I was working for, I was at Edward Jones at the time, but I don't consider Jamal black. I don't consider him a Christian. I consider him an enemy to both. That's why. And so I can't wait to see the comment sections flooded by their supporters coming in later. They don't give biblical backing. They'll still do the name calling and so forth. But you know a person doesn't have a biblical label saying them when they don't have Bible other than who are you to judge? Judge not, let's you be judged. They probably just have that memorized because that's their motto right now. So I started a UPS, but now everybody's going to start thinking about what was going on in 2001. So Jamal, since you're taking interview requests, I'd love to get, there's no way in the world Jamal would come on here. There is no way that Jamal would come on here. Which I wouldn't. I wouldn't go to sleep the night before if he were coming on. I'd be sitting at this desk waiting. Just waiting for him. Where's Jamal? He's a hurry up. And that's true, Tar, because he certainly ain't. He certainly ain't. I believe that we are smart enough to do right to see right and to do right. I believe that we are smart to see right, do right. We're smart for no right and do right. We're smart to think right and do right. I think that's the case. And I think we should treat people that way. That said he graduated from high school in 2001. Wow, you guys are young. You got the majority of my audience is in their 40s and 50s and some 60s. And so when we see people who are born in 2001 in high school, almost said something about Jamal, what he was doing in 2001. How old is Jamal? I think he's about my age. I think he might be a little older than me. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. No, I don't have a young audience. No, the audience here is, when I look at my analytics, the average age of this audience is in their 40s. And so I've got 40 somethings, 57. I do have a good number of 20-year-olds. Now, a lot of people that are in the chat section or comments are younger. There are people who I don't even know. Well, you all believe there are people that have actually contributed. I don't ask, I never ask for money. But there are folks who have, it's like, who is this person? They watch the videos, they don't comment, but they support, like, God is good. And I think, though, that that's a good lesson because I think if you try to do what's right, God will take care of you. I think one thing my audience is going to do, if you mention one thing, they'll, and everyone's giving me their idea. I was 19 in 2001. I was nine in 2001. Rightly divided, 53. Carol is 56. You were born in 1999. When we hear 1999, I don't care, well, if you're old enough, you think of Prince in the song. Party like it's 99. I was eight in 2001. 51. So everyone's giving their age. You say he's 51. Okay, so we're about the same age then. Okay, cool. Okay. Thank you, Mark. He says, this is my first time sending you a chat, but what church are you a member of and do you believe that there is only one church? When you say there's only one church, well, there's what's called the Catholic church, the university. When I say Catholic, I don't mean the one that's headed by the pope and all the bishops and cardinals and so forth. No, I don't mean that. The term Catholic came about before the actual organization was, which means the university church, all of the body. So there is one body, which means that we are responsible. So if something happens at this church, folks at that church have the right to stick their nose in it because we're part of the same body. They really do. We don't act like that. We treat each individual local church like it's its own autonomous body, but it's not. Now, the church that I belong to, I'm really hesitant to not think about this. I'm really hesitant to say because what's going to happen and folks have, because of some emails that folks have sent and said some things about almost like they want to come and disrupt the church. I go to a small church. I go to, let me just say that. If you want to know, thank you, daily thinker. If you want to know, send me an email and I'll let you know because I can promise you there are some folks that wanted to kind of come and mess up. There are some folks who wanted to kind of come. Yes, chess champ. Hey man, I don't say it often. How about you guys give some likes, push this bad boy out and see what YouTube does. Let's just, let's have an experiment and see what happens if you guys in the chat, what is it? 938 of it.  Just hit the little like button. If you're on your phone, you may have to, you have to go out of it.  Let's see if YouTube will push this bad boy. I've never, I've never really paid attention to how YouTube pushes it in the middle of a, of a live stream, but it'd be kind of cool. Maybe, maybe you push it out and it's got Jamal Bryant. Some of his supporters will show up. I want, what I really want guys is for them to see it because you guys get it. And I even thank you, brother Jay, who, you know, Jay just was a good sport. Jay was, yeah, I kind of see that now and so forth. A lot of folks aren't, but the problem is a lot of folks don't see it or hear it. A lot of folks are insulated from the truth. And so if all your life, when do I haven't seen you in a while? Wendy, how are you been sister? I'm so glad you're here. I can't, I don't think I've, I don't have, have you been here lately? Wendy, I don't recall seeing you lately. Been away. If I haven't missed you, I apologize, but a lot of folks are just insulated from the truth. We think that if we go, here's the problem. And it's on us. It's on us. We think that if we tell someone the truth, they'll be so offended at us and it's going to bother us because we also have this fear rejection of people not liking us. Speaking of likes, keep liking it. Keep liking it. We have this fear. We think that someone is going to be upset. With many cases, they'll feel, you know what? I was, I was wondering that. I was thinking that. And I, I know now there are going to be some folks are not going to like you. I'm not telling you that if you tell them the truth, if you give them the gospel, if you share Christ, that everybody is going to, yeah, you know what? Thank you for that. But some will, some will. And I can promise you when they change as a result of God using you to tell them the truth, because they might be thinking that, you know what? Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm the one that's out of touch because if you turn on the news station, if you turn on radio and so forth, they'll tell you that we as Christians are out of touch with this world. They'll do that. But we're not the ones out of touch with this world. We have our hand on the pulse of the world.  And we're trying to get people to leave on the right boat, so to speak. We're trying to get folks to leave and get to heaven. If you don't know Christ, if you haven't placed your faith in Christ, it ain't going to happen. I don't know these Christians. No, have you met a Christian? Listen, most Christians that I know are pretty cool. Do we have some strange birds, some weird Christians? Yeah, we got our sacred woods of the world. We got them out there. Weird Christians. Thank you, Mark. Where can you find my email address? Right now it is smart Christian channel at Gmail. It's going to change in roughly 20-something days. But yeah, so we have our share of weird Christians. Guys with bald heads who don't want to show their bald heads. I don't get that. I don't get that. Why do you have a bald head? And you don't want anyone to see that. I don't get that. Bald head insecurity. That's what it is. Not black. See that? Listen, black Hebrew is like the acronym B-H-I. No, bald head insecurity. B-H-I. That's what it is. And so we got some weird Christians. But we got some really good, we got some folks who know what it's like to fall, to struggle and are trying to show people how to get to Christ. Not trying to show people how to stay in sin. So that's what I for. That's not real love. That's not real love to see somebody struggling and walk over them. Like the folks in the story of the Good Samaritan. See them and then walk on the other side. That's not love. Love is to say, hey, man, listen, you in trouble.  And folks walked by and saw it and no one said anything.  You got this. Hey, you got that. You got this. Your shirt's on the button. What happened? They let you know that something was wrong. Thank you. And then what do you do? You go find one of your friends and say, so you mean tell me you're going to let me walk out here like this.  I got something in my nose, something in my eyes, something in my teeth, something in my hair. And you don't tell me. That's happened with everybody. That has happened with everybody. And so I'm grateful when you tell me, hey, Cory, did you know you, you said this, did you know that happened? People do appreciate when you let them know because guess what I can't see. I can't see my front. I can't see my back. I can't, all I can see is whatever's in front of me. If you give me a mirror, I can see. And even then I don't see perfectly. I don't use the, how many of you all use that big mirror that shows all your pores, shows all your blemishes, the two-sided mirror, one, one of the mirrors, um, one mirror just shows you kind of regular. Then show all your, all your imperfections. Then the other mirror, the other side of it just shows all that stuff. You got holes and bumps and quickly turn that mirror around. Cause we don't really always like to see ourselves, but if something looks bad though, I don't want to go out there and look like I'm bad. Just tell me. I'll appreciate that. Thank you for the super chat, Brooklyn. Brooklyn, who for? Thank you. Is it ever morally okay, uh, for a woman to get an abortion when? No, it's not. It's never, well, we, it gets thrown around when the life and when the life, not the health, they throw this term life and health of the mother or in jeopardy, not the health because they can also throw something psychological. If she has an emotional problem with this baby. Well, that's what having kids is. It's going to be some emotional problems. I've got a 30 year old 31 year old. I got down to a 16 year old. We suffered emotionally from kids, kids, kids or something. Kids are, they're amazing though. And so you're going to have some issues emotionally. So that's not part of their life, but if they are in danger and if the, the, the, the mother and the father or the father says, no, um, she's going to die. The problem is though, you know how, how, how rare that actually is, it does happen though. It, it, it actually does happen though. And so if the issue is saving a life, I will, I honestly will leave that up to them because it, now this something that's been happening all, all throughout history. Um, ectopic pregnancies and so forth like that. Those are not included in abortions. Those are not included in abortions. So, uh, thank you, Mark Roberts for the super chat. I appreciate that. So, but just like we do just out of convenience, it's never acceptable, never, never. Well, the baby is going to have some sort of, um, issues. So there are a lot of babies out there, a lot of men and women who have some health struggles through abortion. I mean, through their, through the mother's pregnancy and they still live productive lives. They are still good people. They still deserve a chance at life. They just are. And so I don't think, um, okay. I don't think, um, that we should ever even have it on the table unless, but out of convenience, no, no, no, no. No, who said I, who said I did that diner? So who, who is, who is blaspheming Corey? I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Uh, if I do say something though, that I make, cause I've said some things like, wait a second. Did you just say Corey? Like, well, I did say that. Uh-uh. Let me, let me. I've taken down videos because I've said the wrong thing inadvertently. Yeah. So, uh, I've, I, so if I say something, let, let, let me know. Let me know. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Let me see. Let me see. Let me, let me see. What do you, what do you talk about? What, what, what law am I preaching? Okay. Bow shop not kill is, is still the law. Do you think that, that, uh, there is an out? So stopping little children from coming to Jesus is that, is that the law?  Is that the law? Thank you, Wendy. Do you tell me what about going against abortion is the law? Nicholas, help me out, Nicholas. I'll, I'll matter of fact help the world. I help the, help the entire country out since you seem to be advocating for abortion. Nicholas. Thank you, Sergeant John. I appreciate that. Yeah. Um, and sometimes the body does it itself. Um, having a miscarriage, which is hard, which is hard. It's just that some folks just want to just say something and do so. Just say anything. Nicholas, don't just come in and just say anything. Say something that adds to the currency. Say something that's productive. Don't say something just, just the opposite of smart. The series is called the smart Christians channel. Not smart, not the smart Christian. Like as we know, smart Christians, plural, all of us. We invite you into the fold, but you got to say smart stuff. No, no, someone who is, who is, who is acting foolish and it's not a brother. I can do that. And you know what I mean? You do. I'm going to have to, I'm going to have to cover that passage because that passage gets taken the wrong way and out of context all the time. Thank you, Nicholas. We've got a video coming just because of you because of that.   Keep showing up after that and by people like Paul and Peter. Why, why is that Nicholas? So we're going to have to cover that camera. Thank you. He says, let me play devil's advocate. How far should someone go to win someone for the gospel? Paul says he will do anything as up to sending. You don't send. You do not send. And you don't, and you don't portray a negative or an unreal, a faulty image of Christ. Are you with me? T vs J. Thank you for super chat. You, as long as you're telling the truth and what that really means is, I don't mind going to where the homeless are to win the homeless. I don't mind being accepting of the person who's struggling with the sin. Now I'm accepting sin, but the person like Jesus was, Jesus was that example. I might even feel like I'm just me. And they, they give us a pattern. So, but again, Nicholas, I'm trying to listen. I'm trying Nicholas. I would like to, but I don't think I can send you an application for smart Christian channel. Because you seem to not want to, let me just leave that alone.  Are you in Atlanta, Nicholas? Listen, I got a church for you. I've got a church for you to go to, Nicholas. What do you, what do you think about new birth missionary Baptist church, Nicholas? Listen, I'm saying cheek, cheek, cheek tongue and cheek, Nicholas. I know all of us should be at the elotion. I'm saying it tongue and cheek, Nicholas. I'm just all right. Go back up and see Jay's comment. Okay. Let's go see. All right. It's so hard. You know how many, there are 3,000 comments on here. I got to what dog on it? How do I type this in? There's a way, but there's problem is all these other folks have said Jay's name. And so those are popular. Jay, hold on. Let me type that in. Jay challenges. That'll do it. Okay. Now I can go to his last comment. Oh, thank you, brother. Feels good. He says, I repent of accusing you, Corey. You're right. And I'm wrong. And I repent of, Hey man, that, you know what? That's all we could ever hope for. You know what it does though? It says what kind of man you are. It says what kind of a man you are. That's what it does. You, you win so many points today. You win so many points today. Because before 1000 people use it, I was wrong. I was wrong. Amen. God bless you, brother. God bless you, brother. So I love to sit here. I was reading the dog on this, this thing moves quickly. I don't know what is with the software. It'll stay there and then just jump 30, 40 comments. Well, not always. Sometimes it moves pretty slow. Sometimes it moves quickly. So I don't know how to propagate these comments. I have no idea. But when I go to click on one, it'll move. So I have to hold it, move it down. This is a good question. This is, this is about a good question. What age did I start losing my hair? I ain't going to tell you. It's not a good question. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I lost my hair at age. I don't know. I don't know. Don't go on it. I think I was 39 or 40. I was 40. I was 40. And once I lost my hair, I was proud. I was proud. Amen. Salute, Jay. Amen. I think, yeah, we're not talking about the Cowboys today.  I love when Cowboys get this Cowboy fans get this high feeling. That means when you guys fall, it's even better. What I was doing was I was trying to see if someone else is coming actual because what's going to happen, guys. And this is where I would ask you guys to intervene and be part of it because I can say something to someone who has a comment or something like that or whatever. But there's far more than just me. And so when you see folks with these comments, I love looking at you guys engaged with other people who are also kind of this. I'm a little bit off. And when you guys engage with them, it causes them to go back and search and so forth because that's what we're supposed to do as a body. It'd be one thing if Jamal Bryant was just, you know what, he was sincerely lost sincerely off. You know what, maybe I ought to rethink that thing, but he's not. Listen, I know what it's like to be in an arrogant state and to be feeling yourself. I know it's like to be brought down and to be humbled by God. Listen, you can do one of two ways. One of two ways. We are to be humble. We are to be humble, but humble or humility has a cousin. Humility has a cousin. His name is humiliation, which means if you are being humbled by something outside of you, you don't want that, especially if the one that's humbling you is God. And if you are an actual believer, he's going to be the one that's going to do it and it's going to hurt. And I'm afraid that this man, his humiliation is going to come when there's no chance of repentance. And I'm afraid that other people are going to be humiliated and humbled right along with him because they've been taught that what he's saying, what he's preaching is okay. And it's not. Guys, let's just go back a few years when things were, we didn't used to preach this stuff. We didn't used to teach this stuff. We used to have some values at least outwardly, whether we violated it privately or not. That's another story, but we at least used to outwardly say that we're against this stuff. Not anymore. And that's the problem. And so, do you know how many people have said something about this green shirt? I'm going to have to go out and get another green shirt. I have to do like the shirt. He is. He is. He is. All need Jesus. He is. When you heard him preach the sermon, I'm still the man. That's all you need to know. You feel like I teach in the Baptist preach, the Baptist Calvinistic tradition, pre holiness fundamentals, fundamentalism, more or less. Okay. What you have to do, though, whether I do or don't, I don't know if I do or don't. I don't know. Listen, I've done all this over and over again. I'm not this. I'm not that. But I would say rather than worrying about what denominational bent I am deal with the scriptures that I put forward. Because tonight you have an issue with me tonight. What have I said tonight about this man and his promotion of sin? That's wrong. That's what you need to talk about. I think he's a Calvinist. I'm not a Calvinist. It's fine. You want to call me a Calvinist? Fine. Tell me where my words are wrong. Gary A2A, how you been, brother? How you been, brother? Do that. I've got these folks that are saying, Corey, Corey's a Calvinist. Well, I tell you what, attack my scriptures. Use the scripture I'm talking about. If I bring up election, which by the way, more than Calvinists bring up, deal with that.  A couple of guys actually challenged me on this issue of election. I gave it to them. Here it is. Here's the scripture. Here's the grammatical, syntactical way that it's used, whether it's English or Greek and crickets. So stop calling somebody a Calvinist or Baptist or an Armenian or a provisionist or dispensate. Stop calling with the names and deal with the text.  And so if that's the case, then I'm not beholden to any group. I'm not beholden to any race. I'm not beholden to any click. I'm beholden to the word of God. And so when anything or anyone steps outside of that, like Jamal Bryant, then I will judge you by that. I will let that be the standard. The standard is what he said, not what she said or they said, but what he said. And if what he says goes against what you're doing, what you're saying, well, he's not wrong. You are. Let every man be alive. God is God is truthful. And let every man else, especially when it comes to them speaking against God's word, let them be a liar. Amen. Guys, I want to thank you for this time. I look forward to. I'll just say this big day tomorrow, two live streams tomorrow, two live streams tomorrow. We are talking about Hebrew Israelites with vocab Malone's going to be here tomorrow. And then I've got to cover my main man. He said something that's just wow. So I'm going to be busy tomorrow. Look forward to seeing you all here again tomorrow. God bless you. Take care. And yeah, I said it. Go Colts.


Hi everyone, my name is Steph, this is Little Bookish Teacher and today I'm here to review the books that are in the Children's Shortlist for the Victorian Premiers Literary Awards for 2024. So the Victorian Premiers Literary Awards are handed out to books in various categories and they do have a children's and a young adult category. I have read and will be talking about the children's category today and I'll also be talking about the young adult category next week. So in the children's category there are three shortlisted books and two highly commended books. So I'm going to talk about the highly commended books first and then the shortlist. The children's shortlist can include picture books and middle fiction which is great so there is a collection of both in here. The middle fiction title that was highly commended was The Goodbye Year by Emily Gale. This is set in Australia. It is about a young girl called Harper who is about to go into year six and it is 2020 and the year starts very normally and all of her friends are given captain positions and her very close friends become school captains and so they become very busy with what's going on with what they're doing at school and so she starts to feel a little bit on the outer. At the same time her parents who are both nurses end up traveling to Yemen to work over there as emergency relief nurses and so she's staying with a grandmother who she is not particularly close to so there's a lot of change going on at the start of this last year of primary school and then being 2020 the pandemic hits and there are lockdowns and remote learning and things like that that take place. So there's a lot of complicated things going on for her and then on top of that she begins to see the ghost of a boy who died during World War One so there is a magical realism element to this story. She discovers that trying to research and find out what happened to this young boy helps her to begin to understand a little bit more of the history of her town, of her school, but also helps her to understand her own circumstances. This was a really enjoyable read. There are some elements of bullying in here as Harper has to deal with another student at the school who just can't seem to stop from saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. I also had a bit of an issue initially because I know how schools work with the way that all of the captains are chosen. Like it just to me it didn't make sense but that's fine. This is a middle fiction story for middle fiction readers so perhaps this is the way the kids view how how captain decisions are made. But it was a very interesting story and very well written and at times fairly emotional. So this is a really great story to read with probably year six students to talk about and unpack all of those feelings that are going on during year six but just be aware that it is about the pandemic so some students still do have quite a bit of trauma related to that. The picture book that is an honourable mention is Australia Country of Colour by Jess Rucklief. This is a non-fiction title that explores Australian flora and fauna through colour and it is absolutely gorgeous. The very start of the book begins with an intro from the author and illustrator explaining sort of the concept of this book which is how important colour is both emotionally but also in nature. And then as we move through the book each colour or group of colours in this case red and pink get a bit of a description about a place but also other things that are represented by that colour in nature. And then a couple of pages with the animals and the flora that display those colours and it's really fascinating. Each animal and plant gets a very brief one sentence sort of description describing it. So it is non-fiction but it's very accessible because it's very very bite-sized chunks of information. But I think most importantly the fact that it's followed it's ordered everything in colour is its most intriguing concept because it's a different way of viewing the world because it's not necessarily about where everything is and is found in Australia but it's about how the colour affects this animal or this plant. It does include scientific names for all of the flora and fauna which is great because then you get that academic language coming in. It's a great book to explore. It is so fun and beautiful and very inviting to look at but also I just thought how great would this be in a school where you have it exploring colour in such a different way like this would be great in an art room. If you were doing a unit on colour and exploring colour in nature like this is just a stunning stunning book it's one of my favourite children's non-fiction books that I've picked up in the last 12 months and I've really started looking more at children's non-fiction recently and this is just absolutely gorgeous from cover to cover. So then we move into the shortlisted books there are three of them. The first one is a picture book called Who's Afraid of the Light by Anna McGregor. I have reviewed this book so I will leave a link to that review or that specific review on the screen so you can check it out in more detail. This is a really wonderful book that is a narrative non-fiction book. The narrator of the story is talking to us the audience as if we are deep under the sea so we know that we're under the water and we can see this light on every page and the creature that the light belongs to is talking to us but we don't know who it is, what it is and we meet all of these amazing creatures that live in the depths of the ocean and then you know the big reveal at the end is who's behind the light and it looks very much at how animals who live in the depths of the ocean have to have very specific mechanisms for keeping them safe and it was very very cool. The other cool thing about this title is that it does have a glow in the dark cover which is awesome and I thoroughly enjoyed this book the first time that I read it so I was really glad to see it here on the list because while it has a very simple storytelling style it's very engaging, it's very informative and it's a really great text to share with students. I was also really pleased to see Ghost Book by Remy Lye on the list and I think I have another video about this one so if I do I'll leave this one linked on the screen. This is a middle fiction graphic novel. It is about Julie who is a young girl who can see ghosts and this comes about because when she was born there was a bit of a mix-up and her life was saved and so she's forever connected kind of to this underworld of ghosts and she ends up saving a boy ghost from being devoured during Hungry Ghost Month and so this inextricably ties them together as they become friends and they try and figure out what's going on and why the ghosts are trying to reclaim both of them. So it's really really fun. It's quite a long graphic novel but it was really enjoyable. Lots of great mythology, some spooky scenes but also just has a really wonderful theme of friendship as well. So this one was absolutely wonderful and then the final book on the short list is It's the Sound of the Thing by Maxine Benba Clark. Now this is a poetry anthology by Maxine Benba Clark and I loved this. Aside from Australia Country of Colour I think this was my favourite book that I read from this short list. So it is middle fiction. The poems in here are written probably for years three to maybe year eight age students but that said they are very accessible to everyone and I will probably be reading a few of them with my year two students this year. I have got all of them marked up because I really did love reading these poems and I can't wait to share them. Maxine Benba Clark is currently the poet in residence at the University of Melbourne and this collection of poetry focuses on school, being young. There are some poems in here that centre black and diverse peoples and I loved that. There are a variety of different poetry types within the text. Everything from free verse to haiku to onomatopoeia to very specific things and the thing that I absolutely loved about it is that rather than put that information on the page with the poems there is an index of the poetic forms used in the text as well which poems feature that poetic form. To me that makes this really really useful for teachers because it can be really difficult sometimes to find great poems in a particular form that are great for use within a primary school. It can be really really challenging sometimes and Maxine Benba Clark's use of language and her word choice is just wonderful. Like this is absolutely gorgeous. I'm so glad that I read it and I can't wait to share it with my students. Of all of the books I kind of hope that this one wins. We'll wait and see. I can't remember when the awards are announced but I'm of this one like I got the most joy out of this one as an adult reading poetry for middle fiction readers. Like this was just a wonderful wonderful collection. I will leave links to where you can find out more information about all of the books as well as the Victorian Premier's literary awards down below. In the comments I'd love to know if you've read any of these books or if you're planning on picking any of them up or if you feel like there is another book that should have been shortlisted for the Victorian Premier literary awards for the children's shortlist. Feel free to chat about it down below. If you just want to let me know that you're here but you don't want to leave a comment feel free to leave a microphone emoji down below. Otherwise I hope that wherever you're on the world you're staying safe and healthy and I will see you in my next video. Thanks so much for watching. Bye everyone.
