 Good evening, good afternoon, good morning. Issue kind of with just a natural issue with this channel. And because of that, I think you've heard me say in the past before that if we cover, let's say some false teachers, some false prophets, some issue that is not, I guess directly related to the Bible, they're all related to the Bible. But I mean, it's not about what does this chapter in verse mean, what does the author of this book saying, what's happening with this writer, those things. And so we cover someone like this apostle, this prophet, this one saying this and this one saying that. And there ends up becoming an issue where you might end up looking like, what do they say, a heresy hunter. And this is not that kind of a channel. It can be a little bit confusing, especially because there's a lot of people that are subscribed and there's a lot of new viewers or a lot of people that have come on and they're becoming more and more acclimated with the channel. And what ends up happening, there will be a video where let's say we cover, I don't know, T.D. Jakes. Something weird that he does, which he's prone to do. Well, because of that, that particular video might get a large number of views. And then what YouTube will do is this is probably, this is the issue that we're having, YouTube will relay other videos from this channel that might be like that. Rather than forwarding to them or recommending to them a video over the different covenants, a video over salvation, a video over the Holy Spirit, anything. You name it, that is doctrinal, YouTube might not relate that video to the person who has become familiarized with the channel because of me calling out someone else. It's always good to call someone up. That part is okay. It's good to say, hey, listen, this guy is a false teacher. And so because of that, it ends up, it may give a bad impression, a distortion. And so what I've done was intentionally try to make sure that no more than 85% of the videos on this channel, that those videos would be, 85% of the videos will be at least teaching and edifying. Some sort of teaching, some sort of doctrinal issue, some sort of discussion. Then if there's 15%, no more than 15% will cover something calling someone out. We are required to call people out. So I'm not apologizing for that at all. It's okay to call teachers out, false teachers out because you're supposed to. You are supposed to do a lot of different things as a believer. One, defend the gospel, teach, use it for fellowship, but also if someone is doing something incorrectly, well then get what you're supposed to do. You are supposed to call that out. That's just part of what we do. It's almost like a trainer. He's an athletic trainer. He will tell the person that he's training what to do. Here, do these good things, do this, do that. But then he'll also say, don't do this, don't do that. So he'll point out what you should and what you should not do. Things you should go to and also things you should avoid. Similarly, we've got to say the same thing here. Who should be avoided? Who should be warned about what is a bad teaching and then try to make those teaching into a teaching lesson. So someone has an off the wall statement. Well then let's cover that and make it a Bible study lesson. Make it a lesson where we delve into the scripture to see what's right, what's wrong. The problem is that there's a lot of that out there. There's a lot of that out there and if you're not careful, you have to kinda, I have to sometimes intentionally pull back on something that either I might wanna discuss or something that I should not discuss just for the sake of keeping, what's the word? Channel purity. So to speak, that's not really a word. But the issue is what is the makeup of this channel? And so because of that, I'm making a little bit of a course correction. It's not a bad thing. It's actually a good thing. The good thing is that there will be a new smart Christian channel, a channel where it's just devoted towards living life, us as Christians, how we live, what we deal with. And so if you look on the screen, then on the screen, there is a link. I would like for you to do me a favor. I would like for you to click on that link either now or later. Matter of fact, if you click on the link right now, you'll see the exact same video that's happening now. So it doesn't matter if you click on the video right now or if you click on it later. But I would like for you guys to help us out on this. On that channel, as a matter of fact, there's already one video up. There's gonna be another video this evening. As a matter of fact, there's gonna be two more videos. And those videos will deal with different issues. Someone, the first video was a parent or two parents that went a little crazy on their child. The child stole some money to buy some video game stuff. I don't know what that is. They'll have no idea what that is, but the kid got a beating. And so we talk about that, but we talk about it from a biblical standpoint. Same thing. This pastor, this preacher, I get videos sent to me all the time, all the time, funny, about what this person said or what that person said. Hey, what do you think what this is? And a lot of these are, Corey, do you agree with this? Is this right? Is this wrong? Well, I'd like to get to it, but I can't because I've got to do this. So therefore there needs to be a channel that deals just with that. By the way, in one of this particular channel, there'll be other things, such as dealing with our finances, dealing with parenting, dealing with marriages and relationships and so forth, issues relating to our government and society. Those things that relate to how Christians ought to live, how we take the Bible and apply that, those things will be on that channel. This channel, this will be the more boring channel. That will be the fun channel. This will be the boring channel. Are you with me? The boring channel will be going over the doctrines, going through the scriptures, taking it. And it might be one video that's covering one verse and then another video covered another verse, whereas that video will always cover, there's always going to be verses in both. And I'll tell you where we're both of these channels plus another channel is ultimately going to go. But there's always going to be whether this channel or that channel, there's going to be Bible applied to it. Why? As this says, give me boring. And I like boring. I get excited with boring. But let, can we just be honest while I drink my exciting coffee? Can we just be honest? People, if it's controversial, if it's something that's in the mainstream, folks like it. Something wrong with that either. Especially if it helps to bring folks in to actually hear the word. There's a lot of folks that heard this video, heard that video and came in. Now we're talking about salvation. Now we're talking about the Old Cup of the New Cup. Now we're talking about different doctors. Now we're talking about the Atonement, the extent of Atonement. We're talking about all these things because they came in, they saw a video about, by the way, this evening's video is about Jamal Bryant. You wouldn't think that he can get any worse, but he can. He can, he can. It's amazing how far you can go low. You wouldn't think that you can go that low, but you can go low. He can go lower and lower and lower. And so because of that, people will come in and they'll hear something else. But again, the problem is, I don't want this channel to be known for that. The channel is still to be known for dealing strictly with the scriptures. At times though, we will still cover that stuff over here because it's sometimes it's just pertinent. It's just relevant. Someone may say, hey, well, Corey, this was on TV the other day. What's the show everyone talks about? The one where the guys of the, they keep saying that he's a Mormon, the producer. I can't think of the guy. What is the name? The chosen, that's it, the chosen. Hey, Corey, what do you think about the chosen? Well, that might be, we'll cover it over there. Something like that over there. Even though I have never seen the chosen, who knows, maybe I might watch it just to see what all the scuttlebud is. But I don't, but that will be more for that channel versus this channel. This channel will be, there'll be guests that will come on. As a matter of fact, we've got at least one guest coming on next week. There might be some different debate. Someone sent a clickbait, where am I clickbaiting? If you paid attention, guys, I'll never lie on this channel. There is a problem with this channel. And the problem is that, again, I have to divide up between what's being known about this channel and what this channel actually is. And so, where are you really? You're one of the first ones? Well, thank you. I appreciate you. Let's get the other one over. Matter of fact, you know what I think though, my suspicion is this though. My suspicion is the other channel will probably end up doing better than this channel. That's just how it is. That's just how it is. No, since they were not shutting down, but we're probably gonna slow down. It's just, it is what it is, which is fine. Which is fine. Two things are gonna happen. One, believe it or not, even though there's a second channel, I will actually, I think it'll free me up because then I don't have to take this and try to kind of make it fit here. Right? I'm the 80th here. Amen. So, what I want to is, let's deal with what we deal with, because let's be honest, when we get off YouTube or we go, we're dealing with stuff, right? We're dealing with gas prices. We're dealing with all kind of stuff. The channel where there will be commentary on other things, other people, that will be that channel. The channel where there'll be commentary on the book, on the Bible, that will be this channel. Sometimes the two will come across, but the problem that this channel has is differentiating, and I don't want this channel smart. And matter of fact, it might even be so much so that we might even change the name of the other channel because again, they are closely related. I mean, the name are still related. The name of that channel is Smart Christians Life. Well, we're all gonna, this is pretty close to this one, Smart Christians. So may end up changing it, but it's there now. There's gonna be something on that channel. I don't know if it'll be every day, probably every day, who knows? Who knows? Because truth be told, doing those videos are actually pretty easy. There are four videos already lined up. As a matter of fact, let's go to it. Let's go to it. The same ball head guy that's still there. I mean, listen, that guy with that awesome, and I do mean awesome haircut, he's still there. Oh, oh, by the way, I neglected to tell you guys this. I neglected to tell you guys this, that also you'll see eventually a different setup. You'll see a different setup where there's just kind of more sitting in the chair. It's not in a different office. It's literally over there. It's literally over there and you'll see even more of the setup. By the way, I'm sorry, where is the link at? Oh, gonna, you're not supposed to do, I should do this. If I can go find myself, hmm, Corey, what you should have did, Corey, if you, there we go. Let me pin this. There we go. There we go. Let me also put the link again in as well. Copy. And let's go over here. Oh, I can do it right there. I don't know if you all got a chance to look and see what I did. Or how the setup is. The new intro, that intro is only gonna play at certain times. That intro won't play, that intro actually won't play over there. But let me play that intro again. I'm gonna share something else with you all as well. Some of it that we got going on. We'll still have the other two and then there will be another one specifically for that, actually two more for the other ones. Now, no Marcus Ryder's on the intro. No, no Marcus Ryder's on the intro. There'll probably be a little bit more snarkiness on the other one. All right, let me just tell you this guys. When I tell you I am busy, busy, busy, I mean like ridiculously busy. Now, that being the case, my kids don't care. And you all pray for me too, because tomorrow it's about to get rough. It's like a WWE intro. You know, I guess so, huh? I guess so. Now, it doesn't compare. Nothing on YouTube compares with the intro of all intros, the outros of all outros, right? Nothing can compare with this. I mean, that's, listen, that's there. That's Michael Jordan. Everything else is just, you know, everybody's just trying to fit in. But it's about to get really busy for me. When I say really busy, I was actually, by the way, I just saw your text, Carol, I will respond back to you. But I've been invited to a couple of places. I may or may not go, but I doubt it. I was invited to, not to speak, which you all think I was invited to speak, but to go to the G3 conference. I can't, at least I don't think I can. When I tell you there's so much happening, I mean so much happening. But it's a good happening. And I'm one of those guys that when stuff is hectic and moving around on this and that, I actually thrive more if there's, I don't say I like pressure, but if pressure comes, I kind of just feels better. It just is what it is. Oh, by the way, by the way, moderators, every last one of you moderators are moderators on the other channel, except for three of you. Here's the reason why. Because when I put your name in, your name doesn't show up at the top and I can't move it down. And so I need you to put a comment on the other channel. Leave a comment, every moderator, leave a comment so then I can add you. So I couldn't figure out how to do it again. I'm a little slow with that, but it should help me to, and oh, by the way, oh, by the way, I will have to add extra moderators as well for the other channel. So that being the case, we'll do so. But now, as always, what I do is I ask the other moderators what they think. Yeah, you have no idea how much the moderators help me and I'm gonna lean on them even more. So I'm gonna tell you why in just a little bit, in just a little bit. Hello from Troy, Alabama. Well, hello, Jason Allen. Troy, Alabama, are you Roll Tide or you Roll Tide or War Eagle? Which one are you, Jason? Everybody hates on Alabama, but they just keep winning. They're what everybody wants to be. Neland said, oh, I'm screwing. Not necessarily, Neland, not necessarily. But anyway, on this other channel, there'll be Roll Tide, brother. Okay, and I apologize for the War Eagle thing, then. But on the, oh, somebody's from UK. Hey, man, where is Rosenberg, Texas? Have no idea what that is. Yeah, G3 is gonna be in Atlanta. Then they're gonna have like a little regional ones on, I think next year, I forget where he told me what's gonna be it, but anyway. But by the way, this, he's worse than we thought. We're gonna have fun on this one. But he really is, I'm sorry, this way. I gotta get my fingers straight. This way, no, that way. But yeah, that guy, Jamal, Jamal Bryant really is worse than we thought. He's pretty bad. He's pretty bad. But you'll see more, I've gotta do a few more things on this channel because it's not really doing what it's supposed to. By the way, go check out this video that did the parents go too far and beating their kids. I kind of think they did and didn't. I kind of think they did and they didn't because when you watch this, like, well, that was normal. That would have happened to me. How many of you all, by the way, when you watched the video, how many of you all got beat? How many, I mean, when I say you did something bad, mama, daddy loves you, grandma loves you, but I mean, listen, they have no problems with beating you. This is in Dallas, amen. I got beat. I got hit. I got hit in ways if they would've caught it on camera. My parents would've been locked up. We would've had more parents in jail. So when you watch this thing, yeah, and the problem is the one kid is screaming, it's the screaming that makes it bad. The dog doing it, maybe it's the screaming that's gonna keep him from going to jail. So anyway, that being the case, but there's something else that was supposed to take place on, all of this, by the way guys, was supposed to take place on Monday. This announcement, there was something else that was supposed to take place, and that is the website. Two things happened on the website. One, let me just put it on the screen so you guys can see what I'm talking about. This is the website, how it's supposed to look. And there's a little quick about us. Now, there's gonna be some changes and so forth. There's gonna be some updates, but I just wanted to kind of get the thing out there. But this is the website, there are a couple of sections. As soon as you come on one, what is Smart Christian? Which after you click on that, it'll leave you with other stuff but then a bunch of videos and so forth. And then this part to the right where it says find a local church. That may change, or we may make that into the forum, but if you look up top, it says it has a spot for community forum, which on that, you would just go in and you guys would just chat about different things. Have a conversation about this. Hey, did you hear about this? Did you see about that? All those different things. And so guess what we need over there? We need moderators over there. That's gonna be kind of a work in progress as we go because I have no idea how that's gonna turn out. I don't even know if folks are gonna actually be in it. Who knows? Maybe one person might join in and that's it. But then also, let me go back to it. If you notice when you click on the little church search thing, there's a problem that we had with the whole church search deal. There's a big problem that we had with it which also caused the delay. If you notice, it's not a lot of churches on there. It's not a lot of churches on there. And so because of that, something happened. Something happened which made me have to, made us have to pull back two things actually. This is smartchristians.org. As we put the churches in, because you have to actually manually put the churches in, you add a bunch of churches in and there's more churches coming. The actual app or site or whatever that has to do with hosting this thing or keeping this thing, whatever it is, it crashed and went away. It crashed and went away. So now I have to go back and redo it. And this is just adding them in. And I'm still waiting on my good friend, Brian, just check. I'm still waiting on them. But when I say there's a bunch of churches, there are a bunch of churches because folks want to know. And what's gonna happen is you guys will also have to have police this because there will be churches that were on there that don't need to be on them because we cannot actually go in and look at all of the different churches. And so one church, hey, it looks good on the outside. Eh, let's pass the smell test. But come to find out, that's a horrible church. That is a horrible church. And you guys will let us know because there's, I'm not gonna go and vet 1,000 churches or however many that's gonna be. I'm sorry, Ashley. What was your question, Ashley? What was your question on your email? I'm sorry. There's a lot of questions that I haven't or a lot of emails I haven't responded back to. So I apologize. Jalen, I'm doing fine. How are you? There's a lot that I haven't. And so what I've gotta do is kind of pull some things back, organize some things. I never thought that this little stuff right here would be that difficult. I never thought that it would be that difficult. I, matter of fact, my wife lived after this morning. She laughed at me. She said, I remember you say, I said, what do you laugh at me? Because you said when you got out that I'd never be on YouTube, that stuff is silly. Never be on YouTube, wouldn't have this little cell phone which you, matter of fact, you wouldn't even use the cell phone much. And she started laughing because in nature of what I do now, I end up needing the cell phone even more, even though I don't always answer the dog on cell phone. So, oh, okay, that's right. I did see that you asked me that and you asked me something about Job, I think it was. So I will answer that question. There's a reason why I don't say what church I go to publicly. I'll tell you why. I'll go ahead and tell you guys why now. Believe it or not, there are people who will try to search out your church for a couple reasons to come and be a bother to the other people at the church. It's already happened. And there's a certain somebody, I won't say any names, but there's a certain somebody that's literally calling people that this person doesn't like calling their churches to talk to them, talk to people at the church about that person. So I don't like Bob. I call up Bob's church and say, hey, I won't talk to you about one of your members. There's a certain somebody, and so because of that, yeah, but I don't have a problem with saying it now. How long? Well, I'll tell you more about that stuff later. But they're just some weird people. Now, a person wants to come and, hey, let me check out Corey's church. And our church is younger than the average church. You folks are like, wow, Corey, your pastor is that young? Yeah, my pastor is a few years older than my daughter. Imagine being a younger pastor and being my pastor. And I promise you, I don't give them any trouble. I don't give them any problems. I'm not, hey, we gotta do this, we gotta do that, we gotta do this. I'm not the guy that goes in the church and says, hey, listen, we got all of these things that are definitely wrong or at least not definitely up to my view. No, you don't do that. You don't do that. That's why so you have to pick and choose your battle, what you'll stand on. For example, if you're at a church and you don't believe in tithes in the church, ask for tithes, fine, don't pay tithes, just give what you're gonna give. Don't let that be the thing. Now, if there's a bunch of other things, well, then fine. So that being the case, that being the case, I don't make my issues, the overall church issue. So, but yeah, I don't, I might as well tell people where I live. I mean, not the city, because I can tell you I live in Dallas. I didn't mean anything. Dallas is the fourth largest metropolitan area in America and it's growing. It's growing. There's one area here where the home prices in five years, five years after I was reading this article in this is a poor neighborhood. It's the 75216 neighborhood. If you know anything about Dallas, that area is not a, not the safest, not the best neighborhood, but the home prices went from an average home price I think it was 57,000 to 180,000 in this low income area. So Dallas is changing. So I can tell you I live in Dallas. I wouldn't do anything for you. That wouldn't live in Dallas and not a Dallas Cowboy fan. Come on now. Well, first of all, I'm not from Dallas. I am from the great country, the great nation of Indianapolis, Indiana. I just moved here and I live here. And I love Dallas. Dallas is a wonderful place. It is, but Dallas is changing. Anyone who lives in Dallas, Dallas is different. Cause all you folks from California and New York and New Mexico and Washington and y'all moving here, stay where you are. Don't come here, stay there. Please stay there. So, but yeah, Dallas is different tech. The DFW area is just growing. It's just growing. But being here in Dallas, so it's like me going into the heart of the lion's den. And so not only are we trying to help people understand the Bible better, but we're also trying to bring Cowboys fans out of this captivity. We're trying to set them free. So, great you said you live in Houston. Yeah, listen, Houston is bigger than Dallas proper, but the metropolitan area is not as big, but it's still big and it's growing also. Dallas, Houston and Austin are just growing like gangbusters. It really is. It really is. Good juju, I like you. But anyway, so what happened with the website? It is smartchristians.org. It won't be up until next week because of a couple of tech issues that happened. And then the person who actually who keeps this will be out of town until next week. My daughter helps with that. She's the one that kind of keeps that. So she's gonna be out of town, which is probably, which acts gonna be a problem for me. The reason why it's gonna be a problem for me is because guess what I have to do? My daughter and son or daughter and son-in-law, they are taking these kids to a Christian camp. Well, the problem with that is that the three-year-old and the one-year-old can't go. So guess where the three-year-old and one-year-old is gonna be at for a, no, it's not a vacation Bible school, Cameron. They're gonna be with me. I don't know what in the world I'm gonna, and my wife is at some sort of teacher conference deal thing that she has to keep going through a training. So that means that now, normally I just have my teenage daughter Bailey to help, but Bailey won't be here because Bailey will be also at this camp. My other daughter, my third daughter, Hannah, she won't be here because guess what she'll be? She'll be house sitting their house. Lord, if y'all might see me with my hair grown out on the side, I might have a George Jefferson. I just might let it grow out. I don't know what's gonna happen. I don't know what's going to happen because it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough on me. Yeah, thank you, Sisley. Pray for me. It's gonna be rough. Three is okay. I can actually set him down and just, you know, let him do his thing, but he's still gonna do stuff. He's gonna do stuff because he's three. You gotta watch him. It's that one year old. It's the one year old and he's learning to walk. He walks now or he stumbles now. Yeah, it's gonna be rough. But his name is Corey. You know what, I'll bring him on next week. He is, I think I'm his favorite person because I can literally go and take him from his mother and he won't cry. Matter of fact, his mother can take him from me and when she takes it from me, he'll cry. So I think that is so cool. My wife, like, she turns her lip up when she's... So anyway, I'll probably bring Corey on. I may have to. I may have to bring Corey on, but he touches everything. He knocks up, he's like a cat. He knocks up over intentionally, but it's gonna be busy for me. But I think that what we're doing here is going to help to alleviate eventually. The reason why is because I can kind of segment things. You can do more things, but if you organize, which is my problem, if you're more organized, you can do more efficiently if you organize than you can with less if you're unorganized. But the nature of what I'm doing here will cause me to be more organized. Now, the future of this channel and the next channel, and if there might possibly be a third channel, is that I said before that ultimately it's not going to be me hosting? So what, now I'll appear, but what I ultimately want to do is to have others doing this. So let, and remember, I'm always advocating for other people to have a Christian channel. Because I think we need more voices out there. And so what I would like to do, eventually what I will do is start partnering with other people to also have their material, their content on the channel's web because it's not just my voice. It's the voice of the people, the voice of Christians, who are giving out sound teachings. So let's say Bob Jones, I'm just throwing out a name, Bob Jones or Mike Smith, they are teaching the Bible and they've got something to contribute. And so here, here they are. And then if there's any benefits, just read from it, then so be it, they will read that. But the point is, there will be other voices. You're gonna also see on the website, other voices, other people who will contribute. And sometimes they'll contribute in a way that we're, hey, we disagree, but it's still valuable to have their voice on. Why? Because my voice isn't the only voice, right? And so sometimes it would just be good to have someone else on. So how will I vet? Well, I can look and read what they're saying and hear what they're saying and talk to them and so forth now. I'll also bring other people on to have conversations where we might agree or we might disagree, but I don't have a problem with doing that. I can promise you this, so like I said before, you'll never see me ever, ever, ever as long as I'm living. Have another formal debate. I was talking to Marlon the other day. I'm not doing that again. It's too restrictive for me. So I won't do that. So that's kind of where we're going. I think it'll be much better. You'll know that this channel is this. That channel is that. The colors, as a matter of fact, what I may end up doing is all together taking everything that's kind of reddish on this channel out. And so the other channel is, if you see the colors red, you'll see it over on the other channel. If you see this channel is more black and yellowish, it wasn't intentional. It just kind of went that way. The other channel is kind of more red and whitish. So not intentional. Just kind of went that way. So anyway, but we'll have more people on. And again, I want to, like I said, I want to highlight more people, more voices. I really do. I don't know if y'all saw this. Let me put it back on this intro. And I'll pause it in the middle of it. Let me go to the right spot. Hold on one second. What I want to do is I want to pause. So I told you guys that there's a lot of stuff that I'm looking at on this channel when I'm sitting and looking. You can see it. It's dark on the screen, but this screen to the right, I mean to the left of me, that's what I'm looking at. And then as I move before, that's what is right in the middle of me. I've got a laptop that's right in the middle of me. And then I've got these two screens to the side. I got my little button from my little screen deck that I pushed the buttons. And then over further to the right, I've got the iPad and then what you don't see is I'll have my phone propped up somewhere so that I can see, really this is for my moderators to contact me. Although one moderator contacted me yesterday and I didn't see it. She said to put it on slow mode and I didn't even see it. I didn't see it till afterwards. But that's what I had. That's what I'm looking at every time. I'm looking at all this stuff. And you know what? Let me just, and you can also see the computer that I wrote. What is that? That's right below in between the I and the A. You probably can't see it that well, but that's my little Mac studio that runs this stuff. And then this little Mac book that I do other stuff on as well. But don't go on it. Let me pat myself on the back. I have gotten good at, not good at, but I've gotten better at looking at all these different screens. There is a lot of stuff on this screen. Especially if I have two sets of scriptures pulled up on accordance, which is the software that I use as accordance. And then I may have over here, I may even have a lot of guys pulled up. And then over here, I've got my monitor or the screen or whatever for this microphone, but then I've got my levels over here. I've got the comments right there and right there, checking my signal strength and so forth. If I need to look up certain things on the fly right there. A lot going on. It's a lot going on. I'm giving myself credit for a guy that didn't know technology still though. Then I'm doing pretty good. Thank you, Alton. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Alton changed his profile, look or his logo, whatever you call it, the avatar that was called. He changed it up on us. But hey, is that a bow tie? It's a bow tie. Well, amen. Amen. So that was the issue guys. And I think it would make this channel run a lot better by simply the majority focus would be teaching, teaching, teaching, doctrine, doctrine, doctrine. I'm going to try to make it even a little bit more interactive. The hard part is bringing folks on who you don't know anything about. If you all recall in the very beginning, not in the very beginning, well, yeah, in the very beginning, if a person had an issue, then I might go ahead and send the link and have the person come on. That can be, that can be fraught with issues. That can be a problem. That could be a problem. And so what we might do is start bringing that back a little bit, it looks like a military base. No, it's just these screens are just, what it is is maybe it's because it was dark, but they're close in on me with the camera there and so it's really not, it really didn't. Now, initially it was intimidating. By the way, you all know how I first started this off and I'm going to, you have my KJV insults. What I'm going to do, when I first started, my setup was as infantile as possible. But what I'm going to do is I'm going to start sharing with other people. This is what I think you ought to do just as a whole. How I think you can kind of set your channel up and just grow it, get the word out. Get the word out to as many people as possible. If you get a thousand subscribers, 5,100,000 a million, amen. The more people that are speaking the name Jesus and doing it doctrinally so, well then amen. I didn't do anything special. I did. As a matter of fact, the first desk that I had was a small little kid, little girl's desk. I could barely put my feet up underneath it. And I would have an iPad or I would borrow my wife's computer. Now, this is before I was going live and so you might have seen, if you go back and watch some of the earlier videos, you'll see maybe the edge of the iPad or the edge of the computer. And I would just record it. You know how it recorded? I had, I didn't have this phone. I had a, when I, I had an iPhone six. I call it an iPhone one, but you couldn't hear the volume, wasn't that good? So it didn't matter. If you've got something to put out, just put it out and just keep putting it out. Then what happened? Oh, I know what happened. I decided to go ahead and get a computer of my own. Got a computer of my own and I decided, now this, the rules for YouTube changed afterwards, but then started to do live streaming and so forth. And so, yeah, let's live stream. That's when I started bringing on the different guests and so forth when people come on and again, that could be a problem. So we might just have to decide who can come on if a person is, I don't know. I don't know. I saw where one guy, only channel members could come on. I don't, I'm not into the whole channel member. I could do it, but I don't know. Or if the person is someone that we've seen in the chats for a while, not somebody just shows up because again, those one of the crazies show up. And if they already have a YouTube channel, it's easier to vet because you can go and look and see and help. I mean, look and see what they've done. Would you say who helped you with all the tech? You know what, Jeff? Here's the sad thing, nobody did. Nobody did. But the thing about YouTube is you just ask a question and YouTube, somebody on YouTube is gonna tell you. Somebody on YouTube is gonna tell you. So the first thing I wanna know is, how do you upload a video? Okay, well that wouldn't, you record it and then how do you edit? You know how I began editing it on this, not this phone, but the other iPhone that I had. I would, they had this thing. It was an iMovie, iMovie, yeah, iMovie. By the way, if I do a screen recording right now, I still take that, put it on iMovie, then send it over to either to the laptop or to the big computer, and then just edit with Final Cut. And my, if you notice, my edits aren't all that great. My edits, now there might be an editor coming on later, but who knows. But, something, I don't think it always takes that. Now some channels, they just do, there are some editors out there, they're just wonderful. As soon as you click play, you're captivated because their skills, stuff's flying all over in front of you and it's like, wow, okay, let me hear some more. But, I just had an iPhone. Matter of fact, my iPhone wasn't even sufficient to even record. So here's how bad it was. I borrowed my daughter's iPhone. Yeah, my teenage daughter's iPhone. Do you know how much problem, I mean, that was a problem. She did not like giving up her iPhone. Well, that makes sense. But hey baby, listen, daddy's gonna record something. Daddy's gonna record something. Why? This is a little attitude because I'm using her phone, but that's how it was. I recorded, so when I recorded, I would airdrop over to my iPhone too and then do some editing, wait till my wife gets home, make some more edits in that, and that was that. That was that. And then you upload the dog on thing and I think, see, this is the thing. I didn't do anything fancy. If you go back and look at the older videos, I didn't do anything fancy. I believe, and this is the problem that I have, is that, oh, he said Team Android. Well, someone banned Alton forever. By the way, I will be on Alton's channel. I'm not sure when, I forgot when we said Alton, but I'll be on Alton's channel. So make sure you guys go over and subscribe and support the brother. The brother is doing good work. But that Android stuff, I thought you were a Christian. Apparently you can lose your salvation, huh? Alton. Anyway, but I didn't do anything special. You see all these folks with these different gimmicks. You see all of these different people with they gotta have a stage prompt. They've gotta do this, they've gotta do that, they gotta do this, they gotta have a light shot, they gotta yell and scream. They have to play on your emotions to get you to buy into them. All I ever did was just give the word, give my understanding of it, try to break it down. I am convinced, I'm fully convinced. Now I'm getting excited. I'm fully convinced that if you just have a love for the word and then if you learn the word and then you live the word in the way you convey it, people will have a hunger for the truth for the word. You don't have to sauce it up. You don't have to put a lot of spice on it. Just give people the word because again, if you have a gimmick, if you have something that you're trying to do to razzle and dazzle people, you've gotta outdo yourself every week, every day, every month, all the time. The only thing that can beat the word of God is more of the word of God. The only thing that you can do to outdo the word of God is give them more of the word of God. It gives better and better, betterest and betterest, the more you give it. And so that's all you have to do. And so that's all I did. I didn't razzle, dazzle. The Lord has told me to tell you, no, none of this stuff like that, none of these goofy prophecies, none of this absolutely insane and ignorant things that people do and say. I'm not making personal attacks against somebody. I was not living in the lane. Matter of fact, if you go back and look at the channel, look at when the channel actually took off. I hadn't made really any controversial videos. In other words, in other words, talking about or saying, hey, this guy is wrong for that. Didn't do that. What I did was just give the word. People love the word. You'd be surprised, guys, how many people actually love the word. And so for these preachers out there, these folks even wanna start a YouTube channel, if you just are consistent and people can see and hear your passions, I promise you, if you're passionate about something, it comes out. It comes out and so that's all I did and that would always be my recommendation. If you're preaching, if you're teaching, if you're doing something on YouTube, Facebook, if you're doing something out in the streets, let people see and hear and feel the love of God that comes out of you. And that's really all you have to do. Did I do something? I think I'm wondering something. Is my, no, I don't know. I don't know. I'm trying to see why I can't change it anyway. I wanted to see where's my latency at. I wanted to see if my, because you can change the latency. You can have a 30 second, you can have a normal, fairly quick, and then an ultra-fast or ultra-low latency. And so I was just, sometimes when I see you guys' comments, it makes me wonder, did I set the signal on the ultra-low latency, which is about five seconds, between five and seven seconds after I say it, you hear it. Oh, you found it on, from Young Don, Ashley? Well, thank God for Young Don. What is he now? Is he Muslim yet? Young Don has just, wow. Wow, Young Don used to say nice things about me and I would say some nice things because I didn't really know much about him, but man, you talk about a change in just, what, a month? He has moved a lot. But here's the good news though, guys. And let me just, let me throw this out there. This is gonna sound real controversial, but it's not when you think about it. Is it possible that Young Don is a Christian or someone like a young, we're just using him, but is it possible that he's a Christian? Is it, I'll say yes, it's possible. I don't know if he is or isn't. I don't know if he is or isn't. You know why I say this? Because a person who places their faith in Christ know they need some help. They know that I'm rotten, I'm messed up. Well, where'd that come from? Well, the spirit of God. And then to place their faith in Christ and then they start thinking. They start thinking and the next thing you know, they're thinking about this and about that, especially if they're younger. Especially if they're younger because their thoughts can take them other places because you want to be wise. You want to be wise and then you're espousing this because you hadn't vetted out, you hadn't thought about it because you're not old enough to think things out the way you should. I'm not being insulting to the younger folks or the folks in their teenage years and 20 year olds, the 20s, mid 20s, late 20s, but I can promise you, when you get in your 30s, you realize, man, I was different than I am in my 20s. Same for your 40s, same for your 50s and 60s. You just, it's amazing, the level of growth mentally that you get the older you get. It's just one of those things. Even how you process things. And so a 20-something year old like him, it's possible where you can see, hey, he's thought some things out and then he might come back. You know what, that was just dumb what I said. That was just dumb. Well, what kept him ultimately? If we find out that he was a believer and never stopped being a believer, that was Jesus. That was the Holy Spirit. That was God. Now, it's hard to say. You can't look at him right now and say, yeah, that God, that's a believer. You can't look at him right now, but then again, he is 20-something years old. But then again, you couldn't look at Peter. Day one, day two, after he confesses Christ, and I'm sorry, after God Christ, you couldn't look at him. That guy right there, yeah. He betrayed Jesus. Oh man, I mean, into his face. The rest of them, they took off running. On that day, you couldn't tell. Now, how long, how many days are you allowed to not look like a Christian? The Bible doesn't say. If you are, what's gonna happen? If you're his sheep, he is coming to get you. Now, he might not carry you back over his shoulder, close to his bosom. He might not carry you back this way. He might actually just grab you by the ankle and just drag you. Let it hurt a little bit. Teach you a lesson. Teach you a real good lesson. So anyway, guys, that is it for now. I've got one, I've got a ton, I've got a ton to do again. Do me a favor, do me, and I don't ask this, but I'll be asking this even more and more. But do me a favor, please. Go over to the other channel and put a link up in there again and subscribe to the other channel. It would make me feel good. I would probably cry. It would make me feel wonderful to know that you guys have done that for me. It would, I would feel so special. Matter of fact, let me push this button. Hey, thank you guys. I would feel so special. So guys, keep doing so. I'm gonna also put it up on the community post as well. Anyway, thank you guys. I look forward to seeing you guys again this evening. Tomorrow's Wednesday. We've got some, I got something pretty good, doctrinally on this channel for Wednesday and then some fun stuff on the other channel. Now, what you will see though, you will still see on both channels, even this channel, the YouTube shorts that deal with some of the goofy stuff because YouTube's algorithm in my sentence correctly does push the channel out with these. Hey, this profit, by the way, by the way, the Pagani's of the world, the Isaiah sound of ours of the world, the Jamal Bryant's of the world, the profit, if you've got profit in your name or apostle in your name, prophetess in your name, you are really gonna hate the other channel. You are really going to hate the other channel. I promise you, you are gonna hate that channel. Why? Because I don't have such limit over there to where I've got to put up 85% this way and not do 15% of calling out wolves and heretics. Nope, no such restraint over there. And I'm gonna have a lot of coffee over there too. Am I going to rumble or Odyssey? Kind of, you know what? I clicked on rumble like once or twice. I have no idea, it's so weird. So I don't even know how to do it. What is Odyssey? I've heard of Odyssey, I don't know what it is though. I guess it's like a YouTube channel. But unfortunately right now, nothing beats YouTube. I'm trying to get myself acclimated with Twitter and then Facebook. So I'm trying to get the whole YouTube, I'm not the YouTube, the Facebook, Twitter deal down. And so I do have some help on that to get a better understanding of it. Cause I'm just, I'm one of these, you know, you get older, you get old, I'm not old, but you get older and you get used to certain technology, right? My mother, when she saw the kind of remote controls that we have now, oh bless her heart. She would look at the remote control. You know how you do when you get an old lady. She's looking at the, and you know, this is how you get old too. You do it like this cause you got your bifocals right here, like I do. And you're looking down, trying to figure this out. And there's like 25 buttons. Where's the up and down? That's real, you know, all you need, all you need on YouTube channel, I mean on YouTube channel, on the remote control is off, on, up, down, volume, that's it. But there's all these different buttons and so forth. How do you connect with NASA, these things like that? How do you turn the lights off, start to carve? I don't want all that. I'm trying to watch the football game and I've got to get a, read the manual how to, my mother was sitting there and looking at this thing and I don't know what to do with this thing. And she said, can you turn TV on for me? And after a while, before I got up to it, she just got up, walked to the TV and hit the on button. That's me. I've gotten used to how YouTube works. Facebook shouldn't be, can't be that difficult. Can't be that difficult. Some of these guys I see on Facebook and Twitter and the other places that I should be able to do it but it's just unfamiliar. And it takes me a while to get familiar. It does, it does. But then ultimately, though guys, what I have stated though that my plan, my goal is to, at some point in time, I'm not sure is to move further and further away from YouTube where I'm not on it as much. I'll still always have a presence but not as much. But I've got to replace it with something that's better. What's better than a ball head cult fan? What is better than a ball headed cult fan? Come on, let me hear you in chat, guys. Nothing, nothing's better than a ball headed cult fan. Nothing. You folks with hair, you say so now, you disagree now. I mean, you men, but as you start losing more and more of it, as you start losing more and more of it, you're like, yeah, yeah, nothing wrong with being bald. You 20 year old and 30 year old with your hair, you think it's okay, you think it's good now. You think, yeah, but once you lose it, you'll embrace it because God gave you a haircut, not some barber. God is the one that cut that stuff off. You know how he said so, because it was thinning, it was moving on his own. The Lord cast out my hair follicles on his own. And so let go and let God, not one little, you know, yeah, I'm not doing that. I'm not gonna have it nice. I've seen guys with the hair doing have it faded up and everything and cutting, nope, not me. Nope, all you need is a razor, good shaving cream, good razor and bam, there you go. And you too can wake up like this. Hey man, all right guys, I love you all so much. I've got to run now and I will see you all this evening. In the meantime, in the meantime guys, be blessed, stay safe.
