Matthew 22, we're gonna be looking at verses 41 through 46. So let's begin reading here in Matthew 22, at verse 41. We'll begin at verse 41, we'll move into verse 46, as we look at the question, whose son is he? So beginning here in Matthew 22, verse 41, Matthew writes, while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them saying, what do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he? They said to him, the son of David. He said to them, how then does David in the spirit call him Lord? Saying, the Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool. If David then calls him Lord, how is he his son? And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question him anymore. And so Jesus has been asked a series of questions. We've been looking at those questions as we've gone through chapter 22. He had been asked a question about paying taxes to Caesar. We had also seen him answer a question concerning the resurrection from the dead. And then finally he responded to a question concerning the greatest commandment. Now in each case, as Jesus was responding to the questions, he amazed those who heard him when he gave his answer. Because when asked a question concerning that poll tax or paying tax to Caesar, it says in verse 22, that after he had answered the question that they marveled. When he spoke concerning the question related to the resurrection in verse 33, it says they were astonished at his teaching. And then after speaking concerning the greatest commandment, Mark tells us in chapter 12 verse 34, from then on, no one dared ask him anymore questions. And so the Lord has been fielding questions and then giving answers for each one. So up to that point, Jesus has been responding to questions but now he goes on the offensive and he asks a question. What he's doing is he's turning the tables on his interrogators. Now it's interesting to me, as I was looking at this and preparing the study, it's interesting to me when you think about how so many times we can feel so entitled, if you will, to ask God questions, to interrogate him really. You see, it's not that it's wrong to ask questions of the Lord. You find people in scripture who ask God questions. We see David the psalmist, for example, who will ask questions of the Lord in his psalms. It's not that it's wrong to ask the Lord a question because obviously God has the ability to answer them. But it's the attitude that so many times people may have as they ask questions. It seems sometimes that they're putting God on trial. It seems sometimes that they are presenting a case against him when they ask these questions. And you know these questions. You've heard these questions in the past where people will say, if God is good then, and then they'll say, why is there evil? Why is there pain? Why did my mom die? You know, they'll ask questions of God so good. I have had people ask questions that were really kind of like just, I'm not quite sure why the question was asked like, if God is almighty, can he create a rock that is too big for himself to pick up? And just because we put the word God in a question, doesn't make the question a smart question. You know, the Lord doesn't ever contradict himself.  And so when we ask questions of the Lord, you know, there ought to be questions that are sincere as they're being presented. And not just questions to interrogate him or to put him on the defense. You see sometimes we believe that God himself owes us an explanation. And I think that is more today than it's been in the past. We think that God is to answer to us rather than us answering to him. When you read your Bible, you see that there are questions asked. And one of the men that we are familiar with who asked the question of the Lord is a man by the name of Job. We know the story of Job. We know how that Job went through some afflictions that were more than we could imagine in terms of the pain he was going through. And at a certain point, Job believed that he had a case against God. He even thought that he might be able to defend his position if he had a chance to present this case. It's found in Job chapter 10, verses two through seven, how he said, I will say to God, do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me. Does it seem good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands and smile on the counsel of the wicked? Do you have eyes of flesh or do you see as man sees are your days like the days of a mortal man?   So this is Job bringing out a complaint, speaking to the Lord. He says, you know I haven't done anything wrong. I wanna know why you're condemning me. You see, he believed that he had a case against the Lord but God responded to his question. It's one thing to ask the Lord a question, it's another thing to be prepared for his answer. And in Job 31, verses one through three, it says, the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, and this is how the Lord answers. Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?  You know it's one thing to ask the Lord a question it's another thing to be ready to receive the reply. I believe it's fine with the Lord. I don't see any indication in scripture that it's not for me to speak to the Lord and say, Lord I'm puzzled about something. Can you give me information about something? Can you help me with something? Do you have an answer about this? I don't see anything wrong with that. I don't know that the scripture teaches that it's wrong to ask the Lord very sincere and very real questions. God is very able to answer any question I might have. But my attitude, the way that I approach him, the arrogance of my heart, where I put him on trial and try to force him to respond, well we get an example in a sense of God saying, listen you're asking a question, I will supply the answer but I need to ask the question, who are you? Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge? I wanna ask you some things and let's see if you can answer me. So after the Lord goes through what the Lord would consider to be some very basic questions and all Job responds in chapter 42 verses 4 through 6 and listen to what he says. Job 42, 4 through 6 says, listen please let me speak. You said, I will question you and you shall answer me. Then he goes on to say, I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear but now my eye sees you. Therefore I abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes. I had a faith, I walked by faith and not by sight. I offered sacrifice to you and I believed you and everything because I have trusted you. I heard of you with the hearing of my ear. I've had people who have shared things with me and I've received the traditions all the way back from Adam himself and I just want you to know that after I have actually seen you, I've encountered you, well my true response to something like that is to abhor myself and to repent in dust and ashes. That's the proper way by the way to respond to the Lord when he begins to question us. And here we have it. We have Pharisees who want to question the Lord Jesus Christ and they've done that. We have Sadducees who've wanted to question the Lord Jesus Christ and they've done that but now we have the Lord Jesus Christ questioning them. So in verse 41 once again it says the Pharisees gathered together. When it says they gathered together, the Pharisees, the religious leadership of Israel huddled together off to one side and doubtedly they're considering what to do next. And so Jesus is now approaching them and he asked them a question and that's only fair. They've asked him their questions, now he wants to ask them his. And so the question they'd asked is a very important question. Now again, we'll put that in its context. Remember that Jesus had just answered a question related to the great commandment. What is the great commandment in the law? And he said, love the Lord thy God with everything that is within you and love your neighbor as yourself. So on these two commands he said, hang all the law and the prophets. So you're asking me to summarize the 613 commands that Moses gave to the nation of Israel and I can summarize them by simply saying with one word, you're to love. The application of love is first to God and then to other people. And so he's given them, he's already given them the answer. But now out of love, demonstrating what love is, he begins to ask them a question. You see, he's fulfilling the commandment to love by pointing them to himself. He's fulfilling the commandment to love God and your neighbor by pointing to himself because if they don't have a relationship with Jesus Christ, they will not love God in spirit and in truth and they'll never love their neighbor with a sacrificial love. They never will. That's why today you can have people who like to speak concerning love as a philosophy but not as an activity. It's one thing to say I care about the poor. It's another thing to go out and help to feed them, to clothe them or minister to them. It's just that we're very, very big as a society on speaking about the downcast but very, very few people actually go out to do anything about it. So we're very good at speaking about love but love is something that is an activity, not just a philosophy. And so Jesus is speaking concerning that. He's speaking concerning what it means to really love and so he's fulfilling the commandment because listen, if you want to know how to love God with all your heart and you want to know how to apply the love of God to humanity then it's really gonna come through a relationship with Jesus Christ because apart from Jesus, no Pharisee or anybody else can ever have a relationship with God. Apart from Jesus, no Pharisee or anybody else can ever be saved. I heard this said a couple of times this week so I'll just use it as part of my message today. Somebody was saying this and you know what my, I believe they were correct and thus I'll repeat it. People want redemption. They said it like this. They said everybody wants redemption. Everybody wants to be bought out of the quagmire of life that they live in. Everybody wants to have a better life. Everybody needs somebody to help them. Everybody wants redemption. But the Bible also says that there's none who seek after God. No, not one. We want to be redeemed. We want purpose in life. We want values. We want the things I guess that end up helping us to be fully human, fully aware. Everybody wants redemption. Even in the moments when somebody was so hardened and so rejecting of the things of God and the moments when they actually can quote unquote come to themselves and see where they're really at. Even they could possibly say this. There's something more than what I have. But the problem is, is there's no way that people can have this redemption without the gospel message, without Jesus Christ. Jesus was making it clear. He was saying, listen, if you want to know what the summation of the law that Moses gave, those 613 commands, then you need to know that they are all going to rest on one reality and that is loving the Lord. And when God and love for God is true, then it will be evidenced by loving others.  And they do it in the name of God. But love does no harm to a neighbor, Paul would tell us. Therefore, love is a fulfillment of the law. Because when you love the Lord, because the essence of God is that he is love. I've shared this with you recently how that, that there are three declarative statements concerning God that you find in the writings of John. God is spirit, God is light. And then in 1 John 4.8 he says, God is love. That's what is called a declarative statement concerning God. It gives to us the essence of who he is. He is spirit, he is light, he is love. And the God of love has demonstrated his love towards us.  And so God has revealed himself to man. And so we say we wanna have a relationship with God, but we reject the way that God demands that we have a relationship with him when we turn our backs on Jesus. And question him rather than allowing him to question us. And one of the things about the Bible that I've discovered is the Bible questions me. It's not me questioning the Bible. When I read the Bible, the Bible questions me. The Bible has been called the mirror because I see myself in it. And when it speaks concerning the things that please the Lord, very often I see that I don't. And it's not intended to leave me helpless and hopeless. It's intended to communicate to me that though I am helpless and hopeless and end up my own strength when I receive the one whom God sent, then I can have a relationship with God because it comes through Jesus Christ. And so God would give to us through his word that invitation to hear from him so that we might have a relationship with him. And so Jesus is loving them and he's doing so by telling them the truth. And you need to remember that all true evangelism is always, always driven by love for other people. That's why you share the gospel. You don't go out sharing the gospel with people so you can get what we used to call spiritual scalps and hang them on your belt. Say look at all these people I spoke to for Jesus' sake. You take the gospel out because you want people to know the Lord. You want them to have a relationship with God. You want them to be saved. And you're doing so because that's the highest form of demonstrating that you know the Lord and love him. And it's because Jesus made it very clear to us that he was the one who could satisfy those inner longings of our soul. He said in Matthew 11, 28 through 30, come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart. You shall find rest to your souls for my yoke is easy. My burden is light. That's why we read in Acts 4, verse 12 that salvation is found in no one else for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. And so Jesus is confronting them by telling them that they must come to a decision about him. And that is the most important question they or anybody else must ever answer. And so he asked the question, what do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he? Now earlier in his ministry, he had asked his men a similar kind of question. We saw it in Matthew 16, 13 where he said, who do men say that I, the son of man, am? So he had asked his men, what's going on? What are they saying about me? Well, this time the question is asked of those who have rejected him as Messiah. And even though they're hardening their hearts, Jesus continues pursuing them because he doesn't desire that any of them should be lost. And we need to remember that that's why he came. Luke 19, 10, Jesus said it like this. He said, the son of man is come to seek and save that which is lost. That's why he came. John 3, 17, God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. When Paul was speaking concerning his own conversion in 1 Timothy 1, 15, he said, this is a faithful saying worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief. Jesus said, I came to seek and save. I don't want to condemn you. Paul said that's how he saved me and I am the chief of sinners. So in his great mercy, he gives him another chance to receive him as Messiah. So again, verse 42, what do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he? Now he was aware of the Pharisees teachings and all and he knew that Pharisees believed that Messiah would be from King David's line. You see, God had made a promise 1,000 years earlier to King David concerning the one who had rule and reign, concerning Messiah. In 2 Samuel 7, 12 and 13, when your days are over and you rest with your father's eye will raise up your offspring to succeed you who will come from your own body and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for my name. I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. That is called a messianic promise. In Psalm 89, verses three and four, it reads, you said, I have made a covenant with my chosen one. I have sworn to David, my servant, I will establish your life forever and make your throne firm through all generations. And so, as Jesus is asking this question, Mark 12, 35 adds, how is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? Your own instructors teach you that Messiah is David, David's son. Now, son of David is something that Jesus was openly being called by the people. We saw it as we've gone through Matthew in chapter nine, verse 27, as Jesus went out from there, two blind men followed him calling out, have mercy on us, son of David. In Matthew 15, 22, a Canaanite woman from the vicinity came to him crying out, Lord, son of David, have mercy on me. In Matthew 20, verse 30, two blind men were sitting by the roadside and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, Lord, son of David, have mercy on us. Matthew 21, nine, the crowds went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, Hosanna to the son of David. They had heard this. As a matter of fact, they're already responding to this because in Matthew 21, 15, it says, when the chief priests and teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple area, Hosanna to the son of David, they were indignant. They got upset. They knew that Jesus was openly being called son of David by the people and he knew, Jesus knew that they stumbled at him and being called by this title and so now he's gonna make them confront the truth. Is he the son of David? Is he Messiah? So in verse 43, he said to them, how then does David in the spirit call him Lord, saying the Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool? Now, when Mark gives us his account of this in Mark 12, 36, it says, David himself speaking by the Holy Spirit declared, the Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet. Now, I'll touch something very briefly with you. This may seem to be kind of like an aside but it's really not. It's really essential to understanding what's going on because we see that when Mark says that David himself speaking by the Holy Spirit declared, we see that the Holy Spirit is revealed as the one who inspired David to speak. We see that the Holy Spirit is a person who inspires us. There are those who believe and they will teach this as being taught this Sunday in various places that they will teach you that the Holy Spirit is an energy or a force, is a power but they will also teach you that the Holy Spirit does not have personality, that the Holy Spirit is not a person but the Bible does not teach that the Holy Spirit is just a force, an energy or some form of power. The Holy Spirit is a person, the third person of the Trinity. And so when you read your Bible, you will see that the Holy Spirit is spoken of as one who has a personality. That's the Holy Spirit who speaks and inspires. And so the Holy Spirit is revealed as the one who inspired David to speak and that also gives us the insight into the fact that the Bible is divinely inspired because in Luke 20 verses 42 and 43, it says David himself said in the book of Psalms, the Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool. To be a Christian is to understand that the Holy Spirit is a person, the third person of the Trinity who inspires Scripture and inspired the writers to go out and to write, to pen the things that they were writing under his inspiration, under his direction as they took the truth that he was revealing and wrote it into Scripture for us. And so Jesus is making that very clear. And he says in verse 43, how then does David in the Spirit call him Lord? Now the word Lord is found used in the Scriptures a number of times, 6470 times or so. The word Lord, Adonai or Kuryoth is when in capital letters, referring to God's covenant name, God's covenant name. And so you'll see that in verse 44, I want you to see this with me. Notice how it begins the Lord. You see the capital letters? That's speaking of God's covenant name. The Lord said to my Lord, you see that the Lord case, that refers to not the covenant name of the Lord that speaks of Kuryoth or a Lord. Jehovah said to my Lord would be more literal. So when it's used in capital letters, it refers to what is called the covenant name of God. You see that in Exodus 315? God said to Moses, thus you shall say to the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob has sent me to you. This is my name forever. This is my memorial to all generations. So when verse 44, the Lord is speaking of God himself. And he's speaking to Lord case. He's speaking to Messiah. That's the point Jesus is making. So in verse 44, the Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool.  So the question, if Messiah is no more than a man, how does David under the Spirit's direction declare him to be his Lord? And then verse 44, notice he says, sit at my right hand and that speaks of honor, that speaks of rank, that speaks of authority. So Messiah is exalted to highest honor and it is his by divine right. So the Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand. Now notice, until I make your enemies your footstool. Here's something for you. I think it's kind of practical. I hope it is. If it's not pretend that it is and make me feel good. What are we here? What are we reading here? Until I make your enemies your footstool. What is he saying? All my enemies will be vanquished. That's what Jesus is saying. All who reject Jesus, ultimately will lie helpless before him. In Acts chapter two, verses 32 through 36, it reads, God has raised this Jesus to life and we are all witnesses of the fact. Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. For David did not ascend to heaven and yet he said, the Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet. Therefore, that all Israel be assured of this, God has made this Jesus whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. What is Jesus saying? Jesus saying I will completely and forever triumph over those who reject me. We're living in a time that people don't understand is a spiritual war. Many people don't see it and I've often been amazed at this fact, though it's a biblical reality and I've seen it to be absolutely true. As a matter of fact, I've seen it to be fulfilled because if you are not born again and I don't want this to sound as, as I know that it can sound, especially to those who have yet to be born again, you probably, well, you will not understand this simply because you can't. The unbeliever does not receive the things of the Spirit of God and neither can they know them for they are foolishness to them because these things are spiritually discerned. Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would come and He would teach you things that will take place in the future. God has given us His Holy Spirit who indwells us. Listen, if you're a believer in Jesus Christ, when you were born again, you became the temple of the Spirit of God and God's Spirit dwells within you. That's why when you pick up the Bible and you begin to read it as a Christian, it actually starts to transform you when you put it into practice and obey it. We're not to be conformed to this world but we are rather transformed by the renewing of our minds. And so what happens is when you're born again and the Spirit of God dwells within you, this Christianity that for some may be what is called a theology or some may refer to it as a philosophy, some may simply say it's just a general way of living, whatever the case may be, no longer is simply a theology and it's no longer just a philosophy and it's no longer just a way of living according to the Sermon on the Mount or whatever, it becomes the transforming reality of your life. So when you're reading the Bible, the word of God actually is speaking to you. When I was in the military, we had mail call. And so I would go to this little, there was a little area that was designated the mail room and I would walk up to the clerk and I would say, I give him my name and I'd say, is there anything for me? And then he'd look and then if there was a letter he would give it to me and then I would take it to my room and I would read my letters and on occasion I got letters and it was a lot of fun. But there were friends of mine who would get letters too from home and so what happened is they would get their letter and they'd say, I'll read this, this is so cool. So I'd read it and it would say, Aunt Bessie says hi and while the cow died and there'd be things like that, I was in the South by the way and so you would read things like that and I'd say, well, and Lynn says, she's hoping you're doing well and I'd read other people's mail. Now they asked me to, I'd read it but it meant nothing to me. It was somebody else's letter, it wasn't to me.  You know, that was my mail.  That was stuff to me. Now listen carefully, because there's some practical application. A lot of times people who don't know the Lord will pick up a Bible and they wanna dispute it, they wanna argue about it, they wanna find error in it, why? Because the letter's not to them. The letter's not to them. It makes no sense to them. I was on a plane, my son David, little boy, he was probably nine years old or so, I don't remember his age, he had one of his friends, we went to Israel and David was several rows behind me and he came walking up and says to me, dad, we're sharing with the man about Jesus and can you come and help us? And they had been seated next to an Italian businessman, we're coming out of Rome. And I said of course, so I go walk into the back of the plane, there's my son, there's his little friend with him and my son turns and says to me, daddy, he said I asked him if he's a Christian and he's pointing at this guy, the guy's just sitting there looking at me. I asked him if he's a Christian and he said he is, now this is my son, so hold on your hat, don't get all mad at me, this is an exact what happened. He says, and I told him, I said are you a Christian? And he said yes I am and I asked him where do you go to church? Because David always was school to do that. Where do you go to church? Well I go to the Catholic church, so he says that, he says so I said to him, I said are you a Christian? And he said yes I am and he goes where do you go to church? I go to the Catholic church and so David looks up at me and he says so I told him he's going to hell because he worships Mary. I'm standing there looking at the man and then he says that's true, isn't it dad? A mom, a me, a mom, a me, I said listen. So I looked at my son, how would you handle that by the way? I'm not asking for, how would you, is it true? Is it true, let me ask you that, is it true?  Is that true? It's true, does the Bible teach that? It does, right? How do you handle that? You want to fight on the plane? Are you some Italian businessman? I don't. So how do you train your children to speak the truth? How do you do that? It's tough, isn't it? You mamas and daddies, you know what I'm saying? If you're trying to train your kids to speak the truth, don't you teach them to speak the truth in love? That's how you do it. So my son put me on the spot, that's a fact. I'm looking and I'm saying, you know.  That's the Bible. That's the Bible. But I looked at the man and I said, have you, where are you from? And he says, I'm from Rome. I said, you're from Rome? He goes, yes. I said, have you read the letter that God sent to Rome? He said, what are you talking about? I said, the book of Romans. Have you ever read the book of Romans? He goes, the book of Romans? I said, it's in the New Testament. Have you read the book of Romans? No, I haven't. I said, you know, there was a letter written to your beautiful city 2,000 years ago that says there's none righteous, no not one. Did you know that? No. Did you know that the Bible makes it very clear in the book of Romans that the wages of sin is death? But the free gift of life, eternal life, comes through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Did you know that? No, and I started explaining to him the book of Romans and the message that went to those who lived in Rome at that time. So you speak the truth, but you do so in love. You're not belligerent. Listen, some people have thought I'm a belligerent man. I'm really not. As a matter of fact, I try to be as gentle as possible because Jesus taught us that, to love people and tell them the truth and to speak with gentleness of heart.  That is really something, you know, the wrath of man doesn't, in any way, shape or form produce the righteousness of God, James would tell us. So there's no point in arguing and fighting, but at the same time, there's a need for truth. Why? Because the truth sets you free and the gospel is intended to set you free. That's why we do what we do. That's how it works. Amen, amen. And so we're living in a time when people don't understand that we're in the middle of a spiritual war. See, our warfare is not carnal. The weapons of our warfare is not carnal, but it's mighty in God to the pulling down of strongholds, Paul would say. Casting down imaginations in every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity or subject to every thought, bringing into captivity every thought to the subjection of Christ. So though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. So God has given to us the sword of the Spirit, he's given to us the girdle of truth. He's given to us a helmet of salvation, a shield of faith. Our feet are shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. And we take these things out and we present these things to people. And so we're in right now and listen carefully because it may be lost on you. We are in a spiritual war right now. In the United States, the church is in a war and we are like the frog in the kettle. We are asleep to it. We're keeping our eyes closed because we don't want to be offensive. And slowly but surely, the United States is coming under oppression, spiritual oppression. I'm not talking about physical war, I'm talking about spiritual war. There's a movement in the United States that is now entrenched and is continuing to expand. And many of the people who are supposed to speak loudly, which are pastors are being silent on the subject. Not everybody, thank God for those to speak with the loud voice that honors the Lord. There is a movement right now to silence your voices and you're aware of this. I'm sure you are. If you're not, let me help you to see it and perhaps you can take it before the Lord and see whether this is true.  Now where did that come from? You can't talk about Jesus. You say, I can speak about Jesus wherever I want. Really, is that true? Well, in Dearborn, Michigan, not that long ago, there was a Muslim festival and Christians went in and there was a table there and the table said ask questions and the believers walked up. They wanted to ask questions of the person at the table and because they came in and wanted to ask questions that questioned the Quran and Muhammad and the faith of Islam, they were escorted by the security team there in Dearborn, Michigan, out of a city that is in America and the police escorted them off the grounds because you can't because you're inciting people. Really, we're having a how to witness to Muslims class here. You already know that. The brother who is teaching the class spent 12 years in a Muslim country proclaiming and teaching the word of God. He speaks fluent Arabic. He knows what he's talking about and he was in the park here in the city of Chino a while back now and there were Muslims that were gathering there for one of their festivals or whatever or some kind of gathering and he went in with the team to go and share the gospel. This is in Chino, a park here in our city and the Imam, their preacher approached him and told him to leave the park. Leave the park. Now in submitting to his request, you're submitting to what is called Sharia. You don't have the right to speak. Think about it. Listen, here we do. We're supposed to but try and take your Bible and we're across into Saudi Arabia. Try and share. Try and share about Jesus. You will go to jail and there are places that you will be crucified. There are places you will be cut in half. There are places that your children will be raped and sold into slavery for being Christians. That's happening right now. I was in Kurdistan just last year and that's taking place there right now. It's right outside of Mosul and that's taking place right now. That's taking place right now. And so here in the United States, you are being told to politically be quiet, political correctness. Don't say anything. Don't be offensive.  Listen, I have to tell you the truth. Don't be mean. Don't be rude.  But don't be afraid either. Tell them the truth because the truth sets you free. That's how it works. That's how it works. And the Bible says it very clearly. Jesus says that, well, that's what you see here when he says, till I make your enemies your footsail. You can begin to think that we are losers in this cosmic battle. I read the last verses of the last book of the Bible and in Jesus, we win. We are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ. We win. We are on the truth side.  I'm not doing that. Don't misunderstand me. I'm just telling you that the truth wins in the end. I'm telling you that. And you may have millions and millions into the billions right now who are claiming that they have the truth, but Jesus Christ is the truth. He is the way. He is the life. And there is no other name. He is the one who was raised from the dead. He is the Lord. He is the Lord. He is the King of the universe. And it says in Philippians two verses nine through 11, God exalted him to the highest place, gave him the name that is above every name. Then at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.  That includes Buddha. That includes Mao, Lenin, Muhammad, every human being who's ever lived will confess Jesus Christ is Lord. And that's what he's saying. Until I make your enemies your footstool, Jesus Christ is King. And that's who we worship. See, I'm not concerned about a president. I have a King. I have a King. And I worship him. And that's very, very important. You see, Messiah is a descendant of David. Notice how it says if David in verse 45 calls him Lord, how is he his son? Messiah is more than merely a physical descendant of David. He's David's Lord. He is David's Messiah. That's what he's saying.  So he corrects their incomplete understanding of Messiah. He's man in that he's a physical descendant of David. He is a Lord because he's the Son of God. He is the one who vanquishes all enemies.  When he said that, notice their response. In verse 46, no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question him anymore. You ask God a question, are you ready for his answer? Are you ready for his answer?  His Mark in chapter 12 verse 37 simply says, and the common people heard him gladly. The common people heard him gladly and common people still do. We still hear him gladly because he speaks words of life. Because he speaks to the deep recesses of our souls. I was 17, driving with some friends. I was in the back seat. My two friends seated in the front seat. We were smoking pot and I was 17. It was raining. We were in Uptown Whittier. I still can remember vaguely some of those details. And it was a cloudy day. It was a rainy day. And I was looking out the window and I was high, I'd been smoking pot. And I looked at my friends as they were talking. It got quiet for just a moment in that car. And I said, you know what I was just thinking, guys? What? We're not living, we're dying. What? 17 years old, you're not supposed to talk about that. We're not living, we're dying. I said, have you ever thought that from the time you were born that you've been dying ever since? Have you ever thought about that? No, why would we, man? Don't bum us out.  That's a quote.  And I said, I don't think so. I said, I'm just thinking, man. I'm just thinking. I'm dying. You're only 17, I'm dying.  I used to deliver flowers for Whittier florist. That was my job, 18 years old. I used to take the bouquets and deliver them not just for Mother's Day and Valentine's Day, but I also took the wreaths and things and placed them on caskets. And I was 18. And I had a wreath that I had to place on a casket in Rose Hills. And I looked at the card because I had to be in the right place to drop the wreath off, to place it on the casket. And I read the name of somebody that I knew. I thought, I know this guy, this guy's my age. He's actually younger than me. Just two, three weeks before, he and I and some friends had been at his father's Quonset Hut in Whittier smoking and drinking, smoking dope and drinking, partying. We got a monkey drunk. I remember all of that. If he could have gotten out of that cage, he'd have torn us apart.  He was mad. True story. And I remembered him. We were just getting high together. And I still remember walking in with that wreath, walking up to a casket. Putting the wreath on the casket and looking into the face of a friend of mine. 17, 18 years old. He was 17, I was 18. Looking into the face of a friend of mine. No, I was thinking about death long before I became Christian. I was thinking about it. I almost died three times. Drug overdoses. I almost died three times. I knew how close, you know, to knock, knock, knock in on Heaven's door. I understand that, because I was there. And I started thinking, because I wasn't one of these drinkers who just drank. I drank till I was crazy drunk.  That's how I drank. Some of you guys know what I mean. That's how I drank. And the night started with a half gallon of wine and a quart of beer. That's how it started at the age of 17. I drank a lot. I enjoyed drinking. But I started realizing this crazy life has taken me down a path that I don't think I can come back from. I realized that at 17. So there I am sitting in the car saying to my friends, we're not living, we're dying.  No, that was the Holy Spirit saying to me, get right with me. Get right with me. And that's why when I heard the gospel of Jesus Christ was said, I will forgive all your sins. I will cleanse you from all unrighteousness. I will make you a new creation. All things will be passed away. But hold all things will become new. That's why I embraced that. Because God changes lives when you give your heart to Jesus Christ. And that's what Jesus is teaching. We're not into philosophy. We're into a life change that comes through faith in Christ. We're not talking about being people who go to church and then we leave the building. We're the same people that we were before we walked in, not walking with God. We're not talking about that. I was raised in a system that provoked me to that. As long as you're inside the building doing the right kind of thing, doing the right kind of thing they teach you, you'll be okay. But you don't necessarily live like that when you're outside of that building. I didn't want that, man. I didn't want it then. I don't want it now. I wanted truth. I wanted life. And that's what Jesus was promising. And the common people heard him gladly. And I was a common person. I still am. Just an ordinary person who needed an extraordinary God. And that's how it works, isn't it? That this extraordinary God saves ordinary people. That's how it works. And the Pharisees, the Pharisees, you don't wanna ask them any more questions. Not because we're interested or even because we lost an argument, but because we're gonna find a way to put this man to death because what he's saying is threatening everything we believe, everything we do, he's got to die. And that's where they're moving right now with Jesus Christ.

We're glad you're with us. Amy Wells is here as usual. Welcome Amy Wells. Hey Mike Keith, how are you? I'm fantastic because we have lots of special guests on the program this morning. The Titans first round selection in the 2020 draft, wearing number 79. Tackle Isaiah Wilson is here. Welcome. Hello. Good morning. The Titans second round pick, he'll wear number 26 out of Louisiana State University. Christian Fulton, good morning to you and welcome to the OTP. Good morning, good to be here. And the Titans third round pick, he'll wear number 32. Out of Appalachian State, Darrington Evans, welcome to the official Titans podcast. Good morning, thanks for having me. We're so glad to have the three of you with us and Amy Wells live guests as well. Titans season ticket members, we're glad they're here. Thank you for all of your support and tell them how they can get involved in this edition of the OTP with the Titans top three draft picks from 2020. You know, Mike Keith, we're big on involvement on this program. We like to hear from the people. So use hashtag OTP Q on Twitter. I will find your questions and I will ask it to our newest Tennessee Titans. All right, let's start with numbers. I mentioned the numbers and I'm going to go in order 79 Isaiah Wilson. That was your number at Georgia. That's going to be your number with the Titans. Did you get to pick it? And is there significance at all to that number? I actually did get to pick it. And the significance is coming out of high school. I was wearing 74. And when I got to college and never player had 74, my coach said, I'm going to give you the biggest number that you legally wear. So kind of stuck because I can't wear 80, but I can wear 79. All right, Christian moving to you now you were a couple of numbers in LSU. 26 was not one of them. Did you pick 26 with the Titans? Yeah, I did. It was really the only number available in the 20s. So I wanted to wear 20. It just reminded me every day. I had eight corners selected before me. So it added up and it reminded me every day. Two plus six equals eight. Well done. All right, Darrington, I know you weren't 32 at App. Do you like 32? Did you pick that? And is that one you think you'll stick with? Yeah, I got to pick it on. You know, I feel like I'm gonna stick to it, you know, make the number. 32 is a fantastic running back number, though. That's, that's pretty dog going good. It's like 12 at quarterback. There may be no better running back number than 32. Yeah, they got a pretty good lineage and running back to 32. So you guys all had a very interesting virtual draft experience. It was something that had never happened before. So Isaiah, I'm going to start with you. What was that experience like? What was the best part of being involved in the NFL's virtual draft? One, it was a very fun and exciting experience. And I think the best part about it is just seeing the people that you kind of grew up with and you meet a lot of people to recruit men and college you play against a ton of people. So just seeing everybody just achieve their dreams along with you achieving yours. I mean, it's definitely just a special feeling and getting to spend that time with your family and all that quality time. I definitely took advantage of it. I really enjoyed it. Christian, what about you? What was your favorite part of being involved in the virtual draft? I definitely see the same as far, you know, spending as much time you can with your family. You know, it's a special time, you know, for the now only yourself and for your family. They sacrifice so much, you know, just for you to get that for them to set that moment with you.  And I like the virtual draft. Darrington, what about you? You know, I would say my family was more excited and more eager than I was.  And, you know, we can be thankful enough for it. Darrington, I want to stick with you to lead off the answer to this next question. This is from Dustin and Nashville, our first OTPQ. And you can send those in via Twitter at hashtag OTPQ. Dustin and Nashville wants to know which player or players do you model your game after? So let's go three, two, one on this one. Darrington, Christian, and then Isaiah. I would have to say more so growing up, it was always like Percy Harbin. You know, he was very emotional player, very explosive. You know, I just always loved the way he played. But I would say for an NFL player today would be right most of it. He from my hometown, he's like a big brother to me. And obviously everybody see how his career is going with the 49ers right now. And just the things that he's doing on the field. I would say probably Trudevi is white just because my freshman year, he was my head of sand. So I kind of watched a lot, you know, how he went about his game and how he prepared. So him, I was no time at him. You know, with him just being around the bar, how smart he is. You know, I try to, you know, take what he asked of his game and what separates him. I would start off with definitely Georgia, Alma Mater, Isaiah Wynn. I got to watch him for a year or two and just really got to watch the way he attacked practice, attacked his film, the way he took pride in his craft. So I definitely try to learn from that and take as much from his game as I possibly could. And before him, I would probably say Trent Brown. I'm a big guy. That's not a secret. So I kind of liked watching him and kind of seeing how he maneuvers and plays with being a huge human being as well. So I'll try to take a lot from his game. Christian, I'm going to start with you with this question. Where are you guys working out? And what are you doing to stay in shape if you can't physically be at the team facility?  So as far as running on the levee, we also have a work out facility here in that road, you know, that's, you know, open, but, you know, limited to people coming in.  So that's what I'm doing right now as far as staying in shape and working out. Aaron, Tim, what about you? Where are you getting your work out in? Yeah, it's a private gym down here in Daytona. And it's also one of the new Samaritan that I go through. You know, limited people at the same time have a field. So I'm able to do my conditioning, my running men work and then my receiver work out there as well. Isaiah, are you going straight Rocky style or are you going to a facility somewhere too? No, I'm definitely going to facilities. There's a limited facility in Jersey that I had the access to pretty much off of who I know. And I've been able to get some beach workouts in in Jersey. So that's kind of why I'm getting the blood of my workouts out. I got another OTPQ. This one from Alex in Nolansville. Start with Christian on this one. What players are you looking most forward to playing against this upcoming season? I definitely, you know, got to go with Joe, you know, number one teammate. So definitely looking forward to playing against him. Justin Jefferson. Who else? DJ Tark for Jacksonville, you know, we had a couple of battles in practice. So it's going to be fun, you know, to get some game experience against him. Who else?  I think so. I would definitely start off with, I want to go against Andrew Thomas as a team, just hard to see him after the game and talk to him. It's been a long journey. I haven't had a brother since the start, so I definitely want to see him in game environment and interact with him after. Jonathan led better. Definitely want to get some game up to get him. Had some battles in practice. So I would love to see what happens when the intensities are super full throttle and it's a game situation. And pretty much any, any extremely respected the end out there or outside linebacker. So I could just pick their brains out for the game. So JJ Watts, any of those people, Cam and Jordan, guys that I could learn a ton from is where I want to play against. I might have to go with some of the hometown guy, Cole Holcomb, linebacker for the Redskins, and then Dakota Dixon, safety with the Bucks, just kind of, you know, go against them. It was kind of cool being on the St. High School Phillies and now being professional level, you know, compete with them. It would be real nice to go against them and then, you know, chop it up with them after the game.  Mind blowing, right?  So growing up, you always knew they're great players, you know, they had great talent. They're just about the, you know, the world to stay on track and know what you need to do to get there. Brenda from Franklin, this is an OTPQ. I want to start with Isaiah. What do you think will be your toughest challenge this year as a rookie? What do you anticipate your toughest challenge to be in 2020? I just plan on coming in and working as hard as I possibly can, learning everything I can from the older teammates, probably getting some of mom's home cooking. Might be my toughest challenge. But I plan on just learning everything I can and being the sponge, taking everything I can from all the older players, all the rookies that are doing things differently and better than I am. I just want to improve and be as much as a help to the team as I possibly can. Christian?   I'm always, I was always in Louisiana.   All right, Dario, what's going to be your biggest challenge that you anticipate this season as a rookie? Definitely, you know, learning the playbook as much as I can. Once you, once you get to learn the playbook, like Christian said, you know, you just get to play and do you without really thinking too much. I've got some OTP cues, Mike. We're going to... Go! Go! ...tell us a little bit of stuff here. This one is from Greg, and he specifically has a question for Christian, and he says, what are your goals as a Titan this year? I want to come in and just make an impact to where we can make the next step, you know, as a team, you know, made it to the AFC Championship last year. So, I feel like, you know, maybe one or two things, you know, that we could possibly, you know, work on, you know, just, like I said, make that next step, not really, you know, focused on individual goals.  Daren, and this one's for you, and it's from Chris using hashtag OTPQ. He asks, what do you trust more during the draft process? Is it your agent? Is it a conversation that you had with a team? Is it an analyst? Is it a feeling? What is it that you're trusting during that uncertain time?  He started this person. This is how they feel about you. And then, you know, it just depends because every team is going to tell you the same thing for the most part, we want you. But, you know, it was just about getting you when they wanted to get you. So it's kind of hard to say, but I would say it's a mix of everything now. All right, Isaiah, this one's for you, and it's from a Georgia alum, Doug. He asks, which edge rushers are you most excited to face in the NFL? Everybody. I can learn something from every single person I go against. They've been there longer than me. So any defensive end or edge rusher that lines up on me, after the game, I'm definitely going to be in their back pocket asking them, what do they see about my set? What do they see about their hands? What did they watch in film and study that gave me away, if anything, they give me away. So I'm just excited to kind of, you know, I'm kind of a kid in a big league.  So you can learn a lot from everybody you encounter. So I asked you guys about the virtual draft, and I'm clearly just stuck on all of the new and exciting things that are happening right now, because I want to ask you about the virtual meetings. Are you finding it easier or harder to learn new material in probably a very different arena than you've ever been in before? Isaiah, I'll start with you. It's definitely different. It requires a lot more studying in your book, like just with flashcards and actually just reviewing your notes and rewriting your notes and sand it over and over and over to yourself. It's kind of like being in school, but you don't get to actually do what you're learning in the lesson class. So that's the biggest difference I would say for me. And it has been a bit harder. Like getting the reps and understanding things like that. I'm more of a spatial learner and hands-on kind of guy. So it's definitely been a little bit more difficult, but with the teammates we have, and you can ask anyone a question, and all of the coaches are there wanting you to learn it and willing to help you learn. So that definitely makes it a lot easier. Yeah, I definitely see the same thing. You know, wouldn't be in virtual. It requires a lot more studying. Because I'm more of a hands-on guy. I like to get the reps in to be a visual learner. So after your meetings, you do a lot more studying just to make sure you got it. And like you said, also the coaches and you can text teammates too. That'll help you on that. So I think that's a plus for all of us to have somebody to talk to just to make sure that we're all on the same page. All right, Darenton, love it or hate it. Yeah, I would say it's just like what they said. It's definitely different. It feels a lot like school. You know, you got to go over your notes, but you know, not being able to get the reps and messing up out there so you can learn from it or learn from somebody else's mistakes is a little bit different. I'm going to stick with you for a second. How different is the football that you're learning right now from the football that you played in college? I mean football is football, but from a scheme and maybe what you're trying to learn specifically?   You know, now I'm just trying to learn as much as I can about football, learn as much as I can about the NFL and learn as much about the patents as I can right now and then just go from there and do whatever they say, do it. Christian, you're nodding in agreement. Your thoughts? So for us, you know, as a defense, I feel like I came into a grade system. We ran a 3-4 in college. So most of the things, you know, are kind of similar, you know, I've been coming into a new system.  So it's kind of, you know, easier for me to learn because we kind of ran the same defense. But like I said, we got to study more just to pick up on the language. Like I say, it's important for all of us to be on the same page. You know, we got to all talk the same to be on the same page. So I think it's a plus for me, you know, just being in this system. Isaiah, how different is the Titans football from Georgia football? I honestly can't really tell yet. But I would agree with Christian that learning the language is extremely important. And one system, something could be one call and then the other system, the same exact thing could be a different call or a different formation or a different motion. So I'm just trying to learn all the language that I can. So I'm speaking the same language as the people that are teaching me what I'm supposed to be learning. You're listening to the OTP with Titans. First round pick, Isaiah Wilson. Second round pick, Christian Fulton. Third round pick, Darrington Evans, Mike Keith and Amy Wells here. And we're presented by Farm Bureau Health Plans. When it comes to your healthcare coverage, you should be the one making the call. So Call Farm Bureau Health Plans, they've been protecting Tennesseans since 1947. I want to ask a question about camaraderie because a rookie class is almost like a pledge class in a fraternity.  You experience this together. You will be close for the rest of your lives because you came into the NFL on a team at the same time. So Isaiah, let me ask you a question. How are you guys getting to know each other because you can't be together in person? I may be weird, but since I don't talk to you often, for example, I don't talk to Christian and Darrington too often. We have our meetings and whatnot. But I've been on Instagram and just see what they pose or if they like future or if they like the same artist I like or those kind of things. So when I get there, I have something we can talk about and I just try to be as friendly as possible. At the end of the day, I haven't met these two in depth. They were the way I would like to yet, but they're still going to be my brothers. They're still a part of the Italian family that we're all a part of now. So that's just my cousin at the moment. That's the way I look at it. I see you nodding, Darrington. Definitely different. I mean everyone in person, but at the end of the day, we share the same common goals. So it's something that we can stick on to at least have a conversation when we do finally get there and then just work from there. And Christian, for you playing at LSU, this network of LSU players, a lot like a network of Georgia players, you guys are from all over the place and you guys have this network all over the place in the NFL. You sort of have tentacles to everyone already, don't you?  It seems like I'm going to be playing somebody from LSU every week. So I'm definitely looking forward to, you know, I'm happy for those guys.  I follow those guys on Twitter and Instagram.  Are you guys following Amy Wells on Twitter yet? Yeah. And that's what I'm going to add to add Titans, Amy. She knows everything going on with the Titans, so make sure you give her a follow. Amy before we go back to more hashtag. OTP cues from Titan season ticket members. I have one more question to ask you. Is that okay? Yeah, sure. You just picked me up and that was great. Okay. Well, no, I want to make sure everybody follows you on Twitter. Okay. I want to talk nicknames because when we talked to Isaiah right after the. You told us about the panda nickname you said to all Titans. called me Panda. People love that already, Isaiah. Please tell the story one more time of how you got the nickname Panda. So pretty much I was I was out in Phoenix training for the combine and we were doing our speed drills and like I went to a lot of summer camps when I was younger and they make you sit down crisscross applesauce and even in like kindergarten they got to cross your legs and sit down and as I got bigger I just kept doing it because it actually like loosens up my head like it's comfortable to sit when you're that big so I was sitting down and a running back came by DJ Dallas I don't know if you guys know of him but he came by and he was just like very just a big red panda and I was like you know what that's kind of kind of stick it's like that's kind of suiting and then everyone went with it and it just stuck there for that. He's the panda. Alright Christian the nickname I found for you was K-Baby. Do people still call you K-Baby? Yeah it's cool. I kind of got used to it now.  I got it from one of my teammates my first me I came you know I was I was 16 when I came I believe so I was the baby of the group and I looked like a real kid you know I had no facial hair just looked like a baby and he was like I'm gonna call you K-Baby so it just stuck. Alright Amy Darrington Evans nickname is awesome. Do you know what it is? Let me see Darrington. You look like a... how about live? Live. When did people start saying Darrington Evans live that that's your nickname but do you do you go by that with people? It started in high school. I used to be live in HD. It was weird because you know after games and stuff we'll get back to school and people are like I'm gonna start calling you live. We watching the highlight tape but live in person every Friday night. I'm like y'all tripping but then like after a while they kept saying it and kept saying it then I got to college and then you know my teammates they they weren't calling me Darrington to call me live and I'm like I might just stick with it. That's awesome. I think everybody thinks that's cool. Do we have questions from Titan season ticket members you want to hit Amy? I do I have questions and this is for all three of them this is from Alan using hashtag OTPQ. He says what has been the biggest adjustment to your everyday life now that you are an NFL player? Has anything changed? Definitely routine. I'm kind of trying to switch my routine to where you know you're waking up at six and you're not idle again until five because I've talked to a few guys on the team and that's kind of what the overall resounding message was just to find a routine and kind of start giving yourself locked into it so that when you get here it's not like a punch in the mouth like you got to wake up at six and you're not done till five and you're super exhausted so I've just been trying to change my routine.  Yeah I would definitely say routine you know me being an hour ahead just kind of like I try to work out earlier in the morning but my private gym don't open up until an hour before we start with meetings and stuff so I have to work out in the afternoon so you know I gotta I gotta adjust a little different versus going early but I would say that's the main thing you know make sure you're getting your hours of sleep and that's important and make sure you eat and then yes I would say changing the way you eat you know you're already eating healthy and stuff but you know you got to take care of your body a lot more at home than you would at school with a nutritionist being on the middle plane and other things like that. Here's another question from hashtag OTPQ Browning would like to know do any of you have your cowboy boots yet? Yes just ordered me some of the cowboy hat and all. You got a cowboy hat? I got a black cowboy hat and some black and blue boots. Nice. I'm so glad I asked. Yeah me being from Florida you get the typical answer no but me going to school at Appalachia State I actually had one pair. No. Yeah we up in the mountains and stuff I had one pair but it's not on me so I got to get a new pair. Well now Christian there's some peer pressure here now. Pressure, pressure, pressure. It's crazy because like I have you know some close friends out there in Tennessee and they all been like joking with me and my brother you know that y'all one y'all gonna end up in some cowboy boots.  That's awesome. That's the best. Okay this is from Benny and Memphis we'll start with Christian how do you see yourself making an impact on the Titans in 2020? Just coming in you know and doing a little things you know it's about you know special teams you know you don't want to take that phase for granted so if I could come in you know as a gunner you know and make that extra blot you know to get some good field position for our offense you know I'll do that if it's on a defense you know just making sure you know that I'm in the right run fit you know at nickel knowing the down and distance stuff like just knowing the little things you know and that's gonna come with you know from acts in the vets you know how they go about certain situations because you know those situations are critical and that could be a point in the game where we need that that critical situation so just learning from the vets football is football but it's all a mental game you know going to this to this level. I would definitely say you know just getting there you know keep my head down like you said doing the little thing but we still got to learn and the whole organization learn our teammates and we got to build trust with them and then really just getting out there and just getting started you know special teams are definitely somewhere that I will you know try and make the most of my opportunities there I'm there in college so that's just something I just feel like I'm gonna have to do it this level and then you know an offense you know just trying to do what I need to do with this first second third down on just helping out in the run game in the past game just you know making a difference. All right Isaiah how do you see yourself making an impact on the 2020 Tennessee Titans? Honestly just being as healthy as I possibly can really taking advantage of all the training room and all the treatment I could possibly get and just learning from everybody and in my like in my room and everyone in the organization really but specifically if we're talking about offensive line play we have a great offensive line room here a great coach and I just want to learn as much as I possibly can to be ready to help the team in any way I'm possibly possibly can. All right so final topic Isaiah Wilson to you first who is the current Titan who will be your teammate that you are looking forward to most meeting in person? I think it might be Taylor he's a very funny guy we've already interacted on a few occasions and I think when we get in the room together it's going to be a lot of fun. Eryton who are you looking forward to meeting? I'm about to go with Derek you know growing up you know I've seen him say a lot when he was at Uly in Florida and then seeing lobster go to Batman stuff you know being able to work with him and being beside him take his brain that's just one area that I want to do so that's that's the main thing I'm looking forward to. You Florida guys running that ball that's good stuff all right Christian who is the current Titan you're looking most forward to meeting? All right so I'm just saying this it's DB I'm looking forward to meeting the whole group you know because it's a very talented group you know smart group definitely I'll say the newest I you know Johnathan Joseph you know being in the NFL for 15 years you don't you don't see that often at all so I'm definitely you know being his heir you know just to see what it took you know just to make it that far you know the average three but you know I'm going to do everything you know to pick his brain you know and definitely try to elevate my game by you know working under him and seeing what I can do and learn.
